Crossing Lines
How a Young Man Learned to Prioritize
Chapter 1: Lo, the Man Who Built His House on Sand
"Baby, come and look at what I got today!" Erin shouted, her harmonic
voice seeming to instantly fill the hallways of the large, open home.
It was summer and a balmy humidity filled the air outside, however the
house interior stayed at a constant and cool 72o. "One second babe,"
the lackluster replied, thick with gruff and disinterested overtones
answered after a momentary pause. Whatever she had managed to wrest
from the shelves of some trendy, chic Southern California boutique could
wait. After all, it was the 4th quarter and in thirty two seconds,
Michael would extend his incredibly Madden record to an impressive, if
understated, 43 and 0. Erin sighed and nodded expectantly, standing in
the foyer like a statue... suddenly feeling somewhat silly clutching the
little bag in her hands.
"Yes! That's what I thought you mo-ther-fucker!" Erin almost laughed
now, knowing exactly what was happening in the detached living room.
Some poor, hapless soul had just fallen to the Oakland Raiders, another
in the endless procession of people that her fianc?e had beaten at the
ever monotonous and tedious Madden Football. She had laughed, and even
paid dutiful attention the first few times that he had subjected her to
the overwhelmingly exhaustive video game exhibitions. However, she had
quickly grown tired of keeping up the charade, and now made no attempt
to hide her disdain for such an all-encompassing vacuum of free time and
energy. She stood up, erect, and cleared her throat as she waited for
the victorious visage of her fianc?e to appear.
"Look what I got..." she attempted, before she was cut off with an overly
spirited recounting of how the aforementioned game had played out. She
listened, of course, even offering an occasional nod or shocked
expression. As she had correctly assumed, the Oakland Raiders had
thoroughly trounced the unimpressive Atlanta Falcons to a tune of 35 to
14. As he continued to tell the same story in as many ways as humanly
possible, she truly hoped that he would ask about the bag in her hands...
surely he remembered that not five minutes prior she had entered their
home boasting about her amazing find. Finally, it appeared as if he had
grown weary with the sound of his own voice, and leaned in for a hug...
offering a heartfelt if somewhat secondary "How was your day, sexy
baby?" "It was good," she replied, holding up the bag in a gentle-
hearted way of reminding him that she too, had something to brag about.
"Oh, I totally forgot. Let me see what you got today bab..." he trailed
off, as he noticed the words "Beaux B?b?s - Simi Valley, California"
boldly emblazoned across the front. "Baby..." he chided softly, his voice
lowering more than an bit. "We talked about this," he offered gently,
as she ignored him and reached into the bag, pulling out a beautifully
hand knitted blanket with the words Mommy's Little Princess embroidered
on the front accompanying a cute embroidered caricature of the
children's story Rapunzel. "Isn't it beautiful?" She asked
expectantly, her motions and insistence making no impression on his
stony visage. "Baby..." he repeated softly.
"I know, I know, I just couldn't resist," she said softly, laying her
head against his shoulder. There was nothing in life that Erin wanted
more than a baby, and for the last few months she and Michael had been
trying to conceive unsuccessfully. While at first, Michael had been
patient, understanding and considerate... he had quickly become
disinterested with the idea of having a baby. Furthermore, he had on
more than one occasion voiced his displeasure with his fianc?e's
insistence on buying adornments for a baby girl. Erin had continually
expressed her interest and desires to Michael, only to be routinely shot
down when the idea of visiting a fertility specialist came up. While
she could understand Michael's frustration, hell- she was frustrated,
she was at a loss with his absolute unflinching refusal to see a
fertility doctor. "It is cute, though... don't you think?" she asked,
smiling a little in an attempt to break the uncomfortable air
surrounding the start of another conversation about baby conception. To
her surprise, rather than engage her in her attempt at light-hearted
humor, Michael came out of the box about his other problem with the
purchase.
"Simi, huh?" he said, allowing the dissatisfaction to drip from his
words as they lingered in the air. Immediately, Erin keyed in on what
he was inferring and stepped out in front of the confrontation. "She's
not that bad Mikey. If you would just give her a chance, maybe you
would..." "She's a condescending bitch that talks to me like some kind of
fucking kid," Michael interjected. "I can't stand your Mother. I still
don't understand why we have to live so close to her." Erin's mouth fell
open, shocked at the bluntness of her fianc?e's comments. "I already
told you, there's no way that I can leave the firm. Now that I've made
partner, it's only a matter of time before my name is on the letterhead!
I can't believe you would ask me to give that up because my M-O-M-M-Y
hurt your feelings!" She intentionally began speaking in the sing-song
voice that one might use with a child, attempting to drive home to
Michael exactly how immature his request was.
Michael shook his head in frustration, backing away as his face began to
grow a deep crimson. "I can't believe you would talk to me like tha..."
he began, before Erin interjected "No, you know what, fuck you! Maybe
if you did something besides sit around playing that fucking XBOX and
riding your stupid Harley up and down Hollywood Boulevard all day, you
could have some say over where we live!" Michael was shocked, and
immediately infuriated that she had brought up his inability to find
work. "I'm a writer Erin... it's not exactly like paying work is
available at every turn..." Unfazed, Erin simply replied, "I don't think
4 years without a single paying job is the norm for a writer." Michael
shook his head as he searched for something to combat her accusation
with, only to find that nothing came to mind. Instead, he angrily
stomped away toward the kitchen, exiting through the side door and into
the garage. A few moments later, the sound of his Harley could be heard
as it departed their home... a fitting soundtrack to Erin's enraged scream
and the subsequent throw of her recently prized baby blanket.
That fight seemed like ages ago, and as Michael unzipped his jacket and
dismounted his Harley, he couldn't help but be astonished at how things
had turned out. They had, of course, resolved the fight and after
sharing heartfelt apologies and promises of future improvement... they had
simply moved on. Things had once again fallen into a rhythm, and he was
now at 103 consecutive wins on Madden. Erin had managed to get her name
on the company letterhead at her firm, which was now entitled Yates,
McMillian, and Martin. That was why the sudden reemergence of the push
for a baby had taken Michael by such surprise.
Two weeks ago, Erin had walked confidently into the den where he was
playing his XBOX, and simply turned the machine off. Fresh from work,
Michael knew that it had to be important as she usually required some
time to unwind in the evening when she arrived home. However, there she
stood before him... her soft caramel skin glistened and her posture was
that of the goddess Athena as she stood there in her black pencil skirt
and conservative white, sleeveless blouse. She seemed to command the
black stiletto heels which offered the viewer a glimpse of a single
pedicured toe, a flashing reminder of her humanity in this otherwise
overwhelming transcendent visage. "Wha...oh come on baby..." Michael began,
before looking up and meeting her gaze. Michael immediately read that
his lover was in no mood to be trifled with. "I want a baby, Michael,"
were her only words, as she settled in on her heels, awaiting some type
of response.
"Er...Erin... babe," Michael attempted to talk, to put himself on some
kind of equal footing with his lovely fianc?e, however, he found that he
was completely intimidated by this side which he had never encountered
before. "We've talked about this. I just don't know how to make that
happen. We've tried baby," he said, leaning back against the leather
couch and staring up directly into her eyes. Erin was completely
unmoved, simply crossing her arms across her chest and shaking her head.
"You're unbelievable. Why won't you go to the doctor with me? Maybe we
can find out what's wrong and do something to fix it! It's probably
nothing major at all; I don't understand why you're being such a baby
about going to the damned doctor, Mikey." He cringed at the mention of
a fertility doctor and felt the heat rising in his neck when she
referred to him as "Mikey" which he had, on more than one occasion,
expressed his displeasure for. "I hate doctors, and I think it's a
waste of money," Michael said flatly, sighing and rubbing his face with
his hands to demonstrate his exasperation with the topic. "Whatever,"
Erin replied sharply as she turned and exited the room; she refused to
fight with him again today. As Michael reclaimed his controller, he
sighed again and shook his head.
"Hey girl" Erin spoke into the receiver sighing and sitting down on
their bed, "What are you doing?" She sat on the edge of their king
sized bed and slid her heels off, before standing and unfastening the
skirt which she allowed to fall carelessly to the floor. Anna had been
her friend for years, and she often called her to vent her frustrations
with Michael. "Yeah, I'm just getting home. I tried talking to Michael
again about the baby thing. No, well... no he wasn't too interested in
seeing the doctor you suggested." As a leading pediatrician in Southern
California, Anna was in possession of a large network of other medical
professionals. She had recently been using her connections to try and
find a fertility doctor for her friend. However, Michael's refusal to
even meet with them was infuriating; not only for Erin but for Anna as
well. Erin's laughter was boisterous and genuine as she spoke with her
friend "no, no I don't think he's interested in coming to see a
pediatrician," she said, imagining her fianc?e walking into the brightly
colored office. They continued to talk for around two hours, and when
Michael would peek in to see what was keeping her, she would
dismissively "shoo" him away with her hand. Nothing kept Erin from her
"phone dates" with Anna.
As she offered condolences and a sympathetic ear to her best friend,
Anna was seething inside. Not only was a baby the one thing her friend
wanted more than anything in the world, but they could easily afford it.
Anna had wondered for some time what exactly was keeping Michael so
steadfast in his refusal to see a fertility specialist, but had settled
on the belief that it was an affront to his masculine pride. However,
as she listened to Erin detail exactly how he had treated the situation,
Anna's curiosity was piqued. It was this mixture of curiosity, genuine
desire to help, and her investigative nature as a pediatrician that led
Anna to do something which she had never done before... she looked into
Michael's medical history. As she listened dutifully to Erin on the
phone, she was typing away at her computer, reading what was truthfully,
a very limited medical history. He had broken his arms 4 times... twice
on each side. He had torn the LCL in his right knee, but she had
already known that. "Hmm..." she muttered, half in response to Erin's
detailed recounting of their last fight about her mother and half in
studious observation of Michael's medical records. Then, like a bolt of
lightning on a clear summer day, the problem appeared directly before
her eyes.
"He's just such a baby about dealing with my mother, Anna," Erin
complained. "I mean, I know she is a little controlling, and she does
talk down to him sometimes; but for heaven's sake he reads into
everything she does or says now!" It felt good to have somebody that
would just listen, without judging or trying to convince her of some way
to handle her situation. "Not to mention, my mother has a point. He
won't find work, and I'm starting to think that XBOX controller is
attached to his hands! He never cleans up around here, or even offers
to do any of the household chores. I just don't understand why I'm
paying for a maid service, while my supposedly loving fianc?e is sitting
around all day playing a stupid fucking football video game!" She
sighed and reclaimed control of her breathing, as she stopped. The last
thing that Erin wanted was for Michael to hear her conversation with
Anna, and start their old fight anew.
"I just don't know what to do anymore. It's like, I want a baby and he
won't give me one... instead he just seems determined to take the role of
a baby here at home." She paused, as her friend's laughter could be
heard through the phone. "Can you imagine... I mean, it's not a stretch
really. I already trip on socks, shoes and pants left in the floor
anyway. Not to mention his desk is covered in little football helmets,
drinks, and other mess." She felt good getting these things off her
chest and listening to Anna agree with her encouraged her. "It is
exactly like dealing with an infant! God, maybe that's why he won't
give me a baby... it'd be too much competition for him!" This mental image
elicited a chorus of giggling from both Erin and Anna, as both found it
humorous to imagine the extremely masculine and homophobic Michael
prancing about like a toddler.
Anna listened to her friend, and laughed at the idea of Michael
competing with a baby for "Mommy time." However, while she was laughing
she was warring internally with herself over what to do with the
information she had just uncovered. As Erin continued, though, and Anna
listened to the attitude and actions that Michael was bringing into
their relationship, her mind was made up. How could this man keep
something so important from his fianc?e, especially knowing how
important having a child was to the woman he professed to love? She
waited patiently for Erin to stop talking before taking a breath and
approaching the subject.
"Erin, listen to me for a second. You know that H.I.P.P.A regulations
prohibit me from accessing the medical history of a patient that isn't
mine and that violating those laws could get me, well, into a lot of
trouble." Erin listened to the sudden change in her friend's tone with
interest. Where was she going with this? "Yeah..." Erin answered. Of
course she knew, she had seen more than one doctor lose their license
due to H.I.P.P.A violations. "Well..." Anna continued, hesitantly at
first, "I think I might know why Michael is so hesitant about going to
see a fertility doctor... with you there anyway." This, immediately
piqued Erin's interest and she sat quietly waiting for the rest of the
information. "It's not because the Princess doesn't like needles."
Erin smiled, as she always did when either one of them referred to
Michael as "the Princess." It was a name they had given him secretly
during one of their many iconic "phone dates," when Erin had been
explaining Michael's behavior. "God, he's so demanding and neurotic"
Anna had keenly observed. "And he throws tantrums when he doesn't get
his way" Erin had chimed in. The conversation had obviously brought up
childhood memories for the two women, because after a momentary pause
they had said in synch "JUST LIKE A PRINCESS!" and they had both laughed
hysterically. "A spoiled little princess" had been offered by one of
the women, and ever since then they had used that term for him when
talking about his childish demeanor, though Erin made sure never to
allow Michael to hear them using this term for him.
"Erin, he had a vasectomy while he was in the military. I've seen it a
couple of other times before. Remember "Mongo"? He did it to get out
of our FTX back when Johnny was still an E2. I think it was, like, a
month after you made E4." Erin sat in stunned silence, as she now knew
why Anna had preempted this with her fear of getting in trouble. She
had taken a big risk, to inform her friend of Michael's medical history.
"I don't believe it," was Erin's only reply, but after a long pause she
added "Oh my god... that bastard." Immediately, she knew exactly what had
happened. As a former Army police officer, she was well aware of the
ways of the military. She also knew Michael, and he wouldn't flinch
about a life-altering surgery if it meant he could get out of a little
hard work. She felt tears welling up in her eyes as she shook her head
and stared at the floor. She would never have her baby.
"Are you okay Erin... are you there?" Anna asked into the receiver after a
moment. A part of her regretted telling her "bestie" the news; and
while she felt that she had done the right thing, she also knew the
damage that such information could cause. "Yeah, I'm here Anna, and I'm
okay. Thank you so much for telling me, and don't worry... I won't drop
your name or anything that will get you in trouble." She offered her
attempt at making her friend feel better. "Call it attorney-client
privilege," she said, forcing a joke and a wry chuckle. "Listen Anna,
I've got to go... the Princess will get upset if we don't have a plan for
dinner soon. Text me next week and we can set another phone date."
After they said their goodbyes and hung up, Anna sat there staring at
the phone for a long moment. She was solid in her resolve that she had
done the right thing, right now, she only felt sorry for her friend.
Erin too, sat for a long moment staring at the receiver in her hand
before sighing. What would she do? How could she handle this
situation? It came as some shock then, to Erin, when she suddenly
realized that she wasn't crying anymore. She wasn't sad, she was...
furious. She stood, fully intent on storming down the stairs and
confronting her lazy, lying, pathetic excuse for a fianc?e. That's what
she would do, right before she smashed his XBOX into a million pieces.
She strode over to the door, but as she opened it, she stopped abruptly.
She couldn't confront him openly like that. Erin knew Michael's
personality, and like a spoiled child he would no doubt go running and
file a H.I.P.P.A suit against her longtime friend, which he would win.
Still, something else tugged at Erin as she stood in the cracked
doorway... she still loved Michael. She turned and threw the phone down
aggressively on the bed, stifling a scream by biting her lower lip. She
was effectively, and in every sense of the word, stuck.
Downstairs, the sound of Michael playing Madden traveled up to Erin, who
was sitting on the bed contemplating her situation. "Alright! That's
how we do it! Beat that bitch!" he screamed. Every word made Erin
madder and madder, and now...
Angry, frustrated, and stuck, Erin did the most sensible thing that she
could think of at the moment,
She called her mother.
Chapter 2: Welcome Home, Mr. Connor
It had been a month since the conversation about having a baby, and to
Michael's surprise it hadn't been brought up again. He had expected a
big fight, or at the very least several small altercations relating to
his unwillingness to visit a fertility doctor... but nothing of the sort
had occurred. In fact, it had been quite the opposite around their home
over the last four weeks. Erin had breezed in from work each and every
night with an energy that he hadn't seen in years, and on numerous
occasions he actually caught her humming or singing as she moved
throughout their home. She had begun calling him from work to check on
him, something that had died off in recent years as her status within
the firm had risen. Indeed, his fianc?e seemed genuinely happy.
However, the biggest change hadn't been with his wife at all, but rather
had come from a place Michael least expected... her mother. Every night,
the assertive and controlling Lucia Martin was in their home for dinner,
coffee, or just to visit. Standing at just 5'2" and weighing somewhere
around 130 pounds, the petite black woman exuded her position as the
matriarch of one of Southern California's wealthier families. A former
professor at the University of Southern California, she had never missed
an opportunity to belittle Michael in the past. However, now she seemed
happy to see him and was a genuine joy to be around. Michael had even
started to warm to her, despite her comments like "are you sure coffee
is okay for Michael," or "Eat your veggies, sweetie"... Which Michael
wrote off as a part of her controlling personality that she simply could
not contain.
Erin's father was a no-show. As the three of them sat at the table,
enjoying a meal of wheat spaghetti, green beans, and garlic bread, he
couldn't help but understand why. Tonight, Lucia had prepared dinner,
and had gone to great lengths to do so. However, as she and Erin sat at
the ends of the table, Michael had been relegated to the middle seat.
Furthermore, she had made the "mistake" of only bringing two wine
glasses with her, which had gone to her and Erin. However, "luckily"
she had remembered that she had a box of things belonging to Erin's
niece in her trunk, which she had intended to donate to charity today.
Alyssa, Erin's niece, had recently turned 8 and rejoined her parents in
Iowa... the event causing Lucia to realize two things, that she still had
a myriad of baby things in her home that were no longer needed, and that
she was now without a grandchild to baby. Michael had never really
gotten along with Alyssa, due in no small part to the fact that she had
been ultra-feminine and girly. In the early days of their relationship,
Alyssa had been around a lot, as her parents had pretty much left her
with Lucia to raise while they disappeared from the family altogether.
Michael had gotten into trouble on more than one occasion for teasing
the girl about her prissy demeanor, and one Christmas incident had
almost ended his relationship with Erin completely.
Alyssa had been four years old at the time, and as was tradition, spent
the few days leading up to Christmas with her auntie Erin. Erin had
needed to do some last minute Christmas shopping at the Thousand Oaks
mall, and had asked Michael to babysit for her while she was out... a
chore which Michael faced with dread. They had been alone for about an
hour, when the little girl wanted to play with her uncle Mike.
"Uncle Mike," she began, "let's play magic kingdom. I'll be the
princess, and you can be the prince." Michael, involved in playing a
video game and relaxing brushed the girl off. Alyssa, however, was not
accustomed to being ignored, and continued with the game as if he had
willingly agreed. "I'm the princess, and I'm magic..." she walked around
the house chanting, touching things with her wand and "changing" them
into other things. This was fine, until she twirled by the television
in an attempt to turn it into a magic tree.
The pink flash caused Michael to lose focus, and lose his game.
Furthermore, when he stood up angrily, he collided with the coffee table
in front of him and spilled his drink all over his lunch and the floor.
"Dammit!" he had shouted, causing the little girl to stop suddenly.
"I'm sorry Uncle Mike" she began, before he interrupted. "Just go play
Princess somewhere else, Princess Potty Pants." The name was meant to
be mean, as the young girl had experienced a terrible time with her
night time wetness and had earned the nickname at her nursery school.
She had shared that story with Erin in confidence, and hearing the name
of course, caused her to run off crying to her Auntie Erin's room.
When Erin had returned home to this scene, she was appalled. Not only
had Michael broken her trust by using the hurtful name, but over a video
game and a mess he had intentionally hurt the little girl's feelings.
Angry after being berated by Erin for over an hour, Michael had taken a
permanent marker and written "Princess Potty Pants" on Alyssa's most
cherished item, her princess crown. This had been the final straw, and
Erin had thrown Michael out of the house for a month. They had
eventually reconciled, but Michael had been forced to endure many more
instances of babysitting with little Princess Alyssa, who no matter how
old she got, never lost her love for pink, frilly things.
Indeed, the mere mention of using something of hers filled Michael with
dread. However, his objections were expertly parried by both Lucia and
Erin... both stating that it would be "perfect," and Lucia adding that
Michael should be grateful for having his "own special cup." It was
because of this "stroke of luck" that Michael found himself staring at
his plate of food and a pink plastic cup with the Disney princesses
painted across it which held his wine. Getting the glass had been no
easy experience either, as Lucia had made a grand gesture of going
through all of the things in her trunk, and commenting on how each would
perfectly compliment the cup... much to Erin's amusement and Michael's
embarrassment.
Thankfully, Erin had not given in to her mother's suggestion that he
also use the matching plate and silverware, which Michael had incredible
difficulty identifying as either a joke or a serious suggestion. She
had, however, playfully paused when Lucia had held up the bib to
Michael's neck which had the words "I'm a Pretty Princess" embroidered
on the front, eventually telling her mother to stop between giggling
fits. Obviously vexed by this situation, Michael sat glumly at the
table, in all effect pouting during the meal while Erin and her mother
made small talk. After about an hour, Erin cleared her throat and
smiled at Michael, preparing to speak.
"I just want to take this opportunity to thank my beautiful and
wonderful fianc? Michael. He has given me more than I could ever ask
for, and has made me just so happy. The future looks so bright." At
this point, Lucia clapped and smiled at Michael warmly. Under the
maternal smiles and gazes of the two women, Michael felt incredibly
nervous. However he smiled back and said softly, "Thank you baby, I
love you too." At this point, Erin reached into her purse and pulled
out a manila envelope, which she laid before Michael. "For you... just to
say I love you." As Michael opened the package nervously, he realized
that the women's eyes never left him. He reached inside, and slowly
removed a piece of paper, turning it and gasping at what was before him.
"Oh my god... baby" he said in a hushed tone. "I know, I know. Don't you
absolutely love it?" was Erin's reply to her fianc?e's stunned reaction.
The paper listed a 10 day itinerary for Michael in Northern California.
He would be able to see the Oakland Coliseum where the Raiders play,
take a tour of the facility and even see a game. He was also going to
Stanford to visit the college and watch them take on Michael's home
team, the Oklahoma Sooners. There were some tours of the wine country,
which Michael probably wouldn't take... and a deep-sea fishing expedition.
"Baby, this is amazing... are you coming with me?"
Erin shook her head with a smile "you know I have the Tingstrom trial,
which won't wrap up until the 12th. You're coming back on the 14th,
so..." she shrugged. "Anyway, I thought you might like to take your
Harley up there... and then when you come back, it will have so many miles
on it, we just may need to do something about that" she said, a playful
tone to her voice. Erin knew she had him with that comment. He had
been angling for a new Harley as a Christmas present all year, and with
him set to return from this vacation on the 14th of December, Michael's
mind immediately went to Harley dream-paradise. The rest of the evening
was a blur as the women talked and Michael studied all of the material
he had been given. He wanted to rush off to sleep now, so the morning
could come and he could leave on his journey.
Michael feigned interest at the conversation which now turned to Alyssa,
Erin's brother, and how nobody had heard from them since Alyssa had
left. Michael was focused on his trip, and barely heard Lucia ask if
Erin wanted any of Alyssa's things. "Yeah right," Michael thought to
himself, though he would never say anything along those lines.
Eventually, Lucia stood to leave and was escorted to the door. As she
left she hugged Michael and said, "I'll see you when you get back from
your little trip." Michael smiled and turned back into the house,
hugging his fianc?e tightly once the door was closed. "Baby, you didn't
have to do all that" he said softly. "I know baby, but I wanted you to
be happy and enjoy yourself." She smiled at him and placed a soft kiss
on his lips. "Go take a shower, and I'll clean up in here."
Unsurprisingly, Michael nodded and scampered off up the stairs, not
hesitating at letting her clean up the mess.
Erin was cleaning washing the dishes when she heard the shower come on.
She smiled and shook her head, trying not to laugh. "Ten day vacation
for him, ten days of hard work for me," she said happily. As she
finished cleaning up the kitchen, she went to her briefcase and pulled
out a stack of papers, laying them on the kitchen island. Moments
later, Michael appeared, wrapped only in a towel and dripping water all
over the house. "Baby, I need you to sign those papers on the island.
It's the new insurance paperwork. Just sign where the blue post-it
notes are." Michael, in his haze, flipped through the paperwork and
signed unconsciously where he had been instructed to. "All good,"
Michael said, walking over and kissing her lightly on the lips. "I love
you so much." "I love you too Michael," she said, and she meant it. No
matter what happened or what she had to do... she did love Michael.
That's why she was doing all this, and that's why in the end, they would
both have happier lives.
Erin quickly put the papers into her satchel and smiled, turning off the
downstairs lights before checking to make sure the doors were locked
once again. As they proceeded upstairs, she laid down in the bed,
followed closely by her fianc?e and lover. "Goodnight baby," she said,
leaning over and kissing him before lying on her back. "Goodnight"
Michael replied, laying his head on her chest and snuggling up against
her. Erin smiled again, and noticed how much she had been doing that
lately as she ran her hands through Michael's hair. Soon, the sounds of
Bea Arthur and the rest of the Golden Girls were the only noise in the
room, as both Michael and Erin fell into a deeply peaceful sleep.
"And this is the Owner's box, where Mr. Davis rarely stays" the tour
guide stated, bringing forth a chorus of laughter from Michael and the
rest of the tour group. His Northern California vacation had gone
perfectly, despite getting off to a somewhat rocky start. The morning
he had been slated to leave, his Harley had broken down on Interstate 5
just outside Santa Clarita. Despite his best sales pitches Erin had
refused to buy him a new bike, opting instead to postpone the trip a few
days until his bike was up and running again. The new schedule had him
arriving home on December 23rd, which was a little close but at least he
still got his vacation and Christmas with his fianc?e. Truthfully, he
was glad to be able to miss out on the extra time with Lucia, and had
thoroughly enjoyed himself. Because of the Harley, everything had to be
restructured, and his trip actually ended with this tour of the Oakland
Coliseum. Thank god for that Raiders three game home stretch.
The Tingstrom trial had gone smashingly, and had garnered Erin quite a
bit of national acclaim. In truth, the delay had played into her hands
because as a bonus for her work, she was granted a month's paid
vacation. She was grateful for the time off, because during the trial
she had been so busy, she would have not had time to implement
everything that she wanted to... and this thing with Michael was something
she wanted to be perfect, not half assed. Once the trial was done,
however, Erin had settled in on her next big project.
Dealing with carpenters, painters, and inquisitive workers was easy, and
the finished product had come out far better than Erin had dared to
hope. The most difficult thing for Erin had been, oddly enough, the
same as it was for Lucia... not shopping. Part of their plan included
minimalizing everything, and so showing restraint was difficult but
necessary. Erin took a breath as she stood in the doorway of the guest
room, which Michael had so many times lobbied for turning into his "man-
cave." The idea had mortified Erin for a number of reasons, but mainly
because she, too, wanted to use this beautifully designed room.
The room was large, and had a beautiful large window that faced the back
of the property. However, because of how it was placed in the home, it
was directly across the hall from their master bedroom and had no
bathroom of its own. By comparison, their other guest room which was
often used by Lucia or Anna when they came to stay, faced the front of
the house and had its own full bathroom. Michael's insistence that this
room was of no use, constantly infuriated Erin... as she had intended for
this room to be a nursery. Now, of course, she knew why Michael had so
often called that idea "silly," and remarked that the room should be his
since nobody else was using it. She smiled at this, realizing that the
room had indeed become Michael's after all. What was it that the
psychologists were always saying? Erin smiled, "Compromise is the
cornerstone of any successful relationship." She turned out the light
and slowly closed the door as she turned and entered her master bedroom.
She glanced at the clock. "7:23" she said, absentmindedly. He should
be home soon.
The ride back down "The 5" was beautiful. The weather hadn't started to
really turn yet, and the cool feel of the breeze against his face filled
Michael with complete and utter happiness. While he hadn't been regular
about calling, he had constantly updated his Facebook page with
different photos of himself enjoying everything that Northern California
had to offer. Erin hadn't missed a single post, always commenting and
seemingly glad that he was enjoying himself. She had even logged on to
his Facebook page a few times (something that infuriated Michael as a
breach of privacy) to send dirty messages to herself. He had not been
angry at this, instead, treating it as a welcome surprise. As he pulled
his Harley into the garage and shut it off, he took a deep breath before
entering through the garage door that led to the kitchen.
She heard his Harley pulling up and smiled to herself, quickly preparing
for his arrival. Once the back door opened and Michael came through,
she shouted from the living room, "Did you enjoy yourself honey?" "Oh
my god, you have no idea!" came his response. As he carelessly laid his
jacket and boots on the kitchen table and floor, he walked deeper into
the house. "Where are you baby?" he shouted inquisitively. However,
his question was soon answered as he entered the living room and found
his wife lying on the couch in a sheer neglig?e. The soft black lines
against the white background clung to her curves and Michael could
immediately tell that she was not wearing panties. "Ba..." he started,
but she was already up, and leading him by the hand toward the stairs.
Michael could barely contain his excitement as she kissed him fully
before entering the bedroom, keeping his back to the doorway containing
his biggest surprise. She pulled him by his hands into the bedroom and
slung him to the bed, immediately closing the door behind them. "Get
naked, now..." her breathy tone indicating that she was ready, willing,
and able. As Michael pulled off his pants, and boxers, he expertly
removed his shirt and laid back on the bed. Erin lowered herself to
him, and began kissing down his chest and stomach. She ran her hands
down his thighs and gripped them tightly as she kissed and licked at his
chest, pausing and flicking at his nipple with her tongue. "Oh baby,
you're so hot..." he muttered as she quickly shushed him.
As she began kissing his stomach and trailing little soft kisses down to
his manhood, she stopped... realizing that he was no longer hard. She
looked up at him, her eyebrow quirked in a state of shock. Her hand
moved to his groin and found the gooey mess that indicated Michael had
already gotten his enjoyment from the experience. He smiled and
breathed deeply before realizing what had happened. "Baby, I..." but he
was cut off by a sharp slap to the thigh. He looked up, wide eyed, but
was quickly rolled over onto his stomach. "Shh baby, it's okay...I'll
take care of it" Erin whispered as she pulled his butt cheeks apart and
laid her pussy against his exposed taint. She began to grind against
him, kneading the skin of his bottom and thighs until she came with a
hard and violent eruption. Exhausted, she rolled over beside him on the
bed and cuddled up to him.
"What was that?" Michael asked, shocked at the events that had just
transpired. "I just missed you baby... wanted to go out with a bang."
Michael pondered the meaning of this cryptic message for a moment before
feeling Erin stand up from the bed abruptly. He turned and watched her
as she entered their master bathroom and began to fill up the bathtub.
Once it was full, she turned off the water and returned to the bedroom.
"Come on baby, let's take a bath." She said seductively. Michael, still
naked, stood and walked into the bathroom obediently, climbing in and
lowering himself into the sudsy water. It became clear, however, that
Erin would not be joining him.
"Aren't you getting in too baby?" Michael asked, dejectedly. "No, not
this time. I'm gonna bathe you baby." She replied deftly as she sat on
the toilet and stared at her fianc?e for a moment. Was he really this
aloof? Here he sat in a tub full of lavender bubble bath while she
watched him and smiled. As she had him stand and began rubbing a pink
liquid into his skin, Michael moaned softly. "That feels good, kind of
warm" he said, his eyes closed. "Mmhmm," was her only reply as she
continued working the liquid into his skin. Slowly, the heat
intensified and Michael felt as if millions of fire ants were biting
him. "Hey!" he shouted... "That shit burns!" he said, gyrating around in
the tub now. "Oh, sorry baby. I must have dazed off there. Go ahead
and sit down again."
As Michael sat down in the tub, wincing from the liquid, he didn't
notice that his body hair joined the pinkish liquid in the water
surrounding him. When Erin had him stand again, she had to consciously
stifle a giggle. He was now completely hairless, and his skin was soft
and pink. She stared at his little penis in amazement. How many times
had he commented that "It's a grower, not a shower"? Looking at it now,
it seemed to complete the picture that Erin wanted. It was...fitting. As
she helped him out of the tub and dried him off, Erin knew that she
could do this. Any doubts were now gone and she felt resolute in her
desire to fix their lives. As she laid down next to him in the bed, she
felt his hairless skin press against her and she smiled.
"Get some sleep baby, we have a big day tomorrow" she whispered into his
ear and kissed him softly on the shoulder. "It's Christmas Eve,"
Michael replied sleepily to her. She smiled again and laid her head
against the pillow. "It certainly is."
Chapter 3: Michael Connor...This Is Your Life!
As the first rays of early morning sunlight penetrated their window,
Michael rolled over in the bed. A night filled with dream memories of
his vacation to Northern California and his "welcome home party" sent
him into a deep and blissful sleep. He was sleeping now, in that grey
area between asleep and awake when he felt his fianc?e's hand on his
shoulders, gently nudging him awake. "Come on baby, it's time to get up
and get our day started."
Erin had woken early that morning, anxious with gleeful and giddy
anticipation about what the day would hold. Any lingering doubts or
fears were washed away by his performance last night and the image of
him standing naked and hairless in the bathtub. He needed this, and he
needed her... and she was intent on giving her baby everything that they
both needed. She dressed plainly that morning, in jeans and a simple
top. She even ditched the heels in lieu of a pair of simple white
Skechers. Her hair was fixed and she needed nothing else, as she gently
nudged Michael awake.
"Oooh what time is it?" he asked groggily, rolling over onto his back
and looking up at her through sleepy eyes. "It's 6:45 baby," she said
sweetly, "and it's time to get up." He sat up in the bed, and realized
that she was already dressed. "Wow, you got up early," he remarked,
only to have the covers ripped off of him abruptly. "Come on, I have a
surprise for you" she said, grasping his hands and lifting him to a
sitting position. Instantly, he acknowledged her strength.
"Okay...okay..." he said with a smile, standing up naked. The cool breeze
in the house against his now hairless skin made him tingle as his bare
feet touched the hardwood floor.
She immediately grasped his hand in her own and led him from the room.
"Don't I get to put on clothes?" he asked playfully. "You will," was
her only reply as they stepped out into the hall. He looked at the door
to the previously vacant guest room. It was now painted a pale pink.
"What's going on?" he asked gingerly, suddenly feeling nervous. "I got
you something..." she said, stifling a giggle as she opened the door and
ushered him inside. As they stepped in, he immediately noted the
difference between the hardwood floor and the pink plush carpet he was
now standing on. "Wha..." was all he could manage as he looked around the
brightly decorated room.
In the far left corner of the room was what appeared to be an oversized
baby's playpen, done in white and pink wood and filled with countless
stuffed animals and toys. His eyes went next to the left wall, which
had a pink and white crib positioned against it. On the table beside
the crib, there was a little pink and white lamp with fuzzy pink trim...
and a baby monitor. He shook his head, as if he were still dreaming.
On the wall above the crib, there were white wooden letters arranged
against the pink-painted walls. They were arranged to spell "Princess
Michelle." Against the right wall was a white dresser, which had the
pink drawers labeled "Socks" "Accessories" and "Supplies."
As his knees went weak, his focus fell on the huge window, which was
standing open, and the changing table positioned directly in front of
it. He cringed as he noted that it was also pink and white wood.
Worse, he saw a small stack of pink and white diapers underneath. Erin
released his hand as he instinctively approached the changing table.
Laid on top was a solitary diaper, pink with crown and scepter
decorations and the words "Diaper Princess" written on the front.
Taking the humiliating garment in his hand, he turned it over to find
that on the butt it read "Mommy's Lil' Booty" and had all of the Disney
princesses posing beneath the script. He noticed that the other 10 or
so diapers on the shelves were identical to this one. He also noticed
that there was a lot of room for diapers, and not many there. Turning,
he saw the closet, which was also empty.
As he turned, feeling nauseous, he rested his back against the changing
table and, still clutching the diaper, looked at Erin. "W...what is all
this? A... are you pregnant?" he asked shakily. He watched as she
entered the room and shut the door, revealing a large wooden chair in
the right corner. It was the only mature piece of furniture in the
room. "Of course not silly, I've got my hands full with the little
diaper princess that I already have," she said playfully as she
approached him. "What...do you mean?" he asked, as his worst fears were
realized. "Why, YOU silly! Do you see any other prissy little diaper
booty princesses here?"
Michael shook his head, as the color drained from his face. "That's not
what I am..." he said, as if trying to convince her. "I'm a man, I'm your
fianc?e." She stared at him a moment and then just laughed. "Really?
Is that what you are?" she asked condescendingly. After laughing a long
moment, she sighed and smiled. "Okay, enough joking baby... lay up on the
changing table and let's get your diapee on before you have an accident
on your pretty floor." Michael felt his knees going weak again, and
suddenly felt like he was in an earthquake. However, when she
instructed him to get on the changing table, he regained his composure.
"No...no fuck you," he said quickly, backing up until he bumped into the
humiliating diaper station. "I'm a man, and this is crazy! I'm getting
out of here, you can do whatever you want!" he shouted, hoping to escape
this humiliating prison.
Erin watched him in amusement, trying hard not to simply start laughing
uncontrollably. He was clutching a diaper that proclaimed its wearer to
be a Diaper Princess, and was naked and hairless, attempting to assert
himself as a man. As he tried to push past her, however, she deftly
grabbed his arm and sat down in the big chair, pulling him across her
lap. "I didn't want to do this baby, not this early anyway," she began.
For a moment, Michael was unsure what she meant, but as the first swat
came down across his bare backside with a thunderous "SLAP!" he knew
what was coming. He yelled out, but the spankings didn't stop... in fact,
they continued and intensified with each swat. Soon, and in no short
order, he was across her lap, kicking his feet and bawling like the
infant he would soon be. After 15 spanks, she stopped and waited a
moment, holding him firmly in her lap.
"Now," she began, very matter-of-factly, "I know this is a shock for you
Michelle, I do. I also know that every fiber of your being is telling
you to rebel right now. But... how does your booty feel right now?" she
asked, awaiting a response. When she didn't get one, she swatted the
bright red backside again sharply. "How... does... your... booty... feel...
right... now?" she asked again, listening to him whimper. "Bad, it feels
bad, okay?" he said gruffly, trying to stop himself from crying again.
"What feels bad baby?" she asked condescendingly. "My ass," he replied,
only to be greeted with another sharp slap. "Your what?" she asked
again... this time lilting her voice expectantly. "My... my booty feels
bad," he said, his own admission bringing a fresh crimson to his cheeks
and adding humiliation to his already horrible predicament.
"Now, we've spent enough time up here playing around," Erin said
sweetly. "Let's get my little princess all ready for our big day."
Michael's mind was reeling as she stood him up and once again grasped
his hand tightly. He was in a state of shock as she led him over to the
changing table, and helped him up onto it. Tears blurred Michael's
vision, as he looked up to see a mobile hanging over his head, decorated
with fairy princesses spinning slowly. "Now, let's get my little girl
all bundled up, huh?" Erin said playfully.
As Michael felt his legs being lifted, and his butt come up off of the
mat on the changing table, he noticed that he could see his own limp,
now hairless penis. Now he knew what was in the soap from the night
before, as he realized that he was completely hairless. He next felt
something plastic touching the small of his back, and as his legs were
lowered and spread, he felt the unmistakable material of the diaper
against his "booty." "There's my big girl," Erin chimed as she began
rubbing powdery-smelling lotion into his diaper area. The next thing he
felt was the diaper being pulled up between his legs and taped across
his stomach.
"They fit...yay!" she said in mock celebration. As she helped him sit up,
he looked down and wanted to die from embarrassment. His crotch, the
symbol of his masculinity, was now pink and pale violet and proclaimed
to the world that he was a "Diaper Princess." As Erin stepped back and
admired her handiwork, she smiled and clapped. "Now we don't have to
worry about any little accidents, do we baby girl?" she asked
rhetorically before proceeding over to the closet. Attempting to close
his legs and hide the embarrassing slogan, Michael now saw how thick the
diapers were and found, to his dismay, that their message was extremely
prominent.
"Now, I know how jealous you were of Alyssa and all of her stuff...
otherwise, why would you have teased her all the time?" The mention of
Alyssa made him cringe, as he realized he was quickly becoming the new
princess of the family. "So, I got this made in Camarillo by a lovely
lady. Alyssa's wouldn't have fit, so Mommy got you your own... now you
two can match!" she said proudly before producing the only piece of
clothing that was hanging in the closet. Michael's heart immediately
sank when he looked up and saw the garment.
Erin was holding a soft pink and violet dress up for him to see. It had
puffy princess sleeves, and glittery diamond patterns around the
midsection. The skirt portion was short and flared out, something like
a very subdued tutu. He immediately recognized the dress as the one he
had made fun of Alyssa for wearing so much, that what had once been the
girl's favorite garment had become her most hated.
"We did have one little addition made..." Erin said, exposing the chest.
"Since you loved putting yourself in my phone as "My Dashing Darling,"
we did this..." Michael looked up again and a little squeak escaped his
lips when he saw that on the chest in bedazzled rhinestones the dress
read "Mommy's Diaper Darling." "Isn't it everything you ever wanted?"
Erin said sarcastically as she walked over to him, brandishing the
garment like a blade. "No...no Erin it isn't. Please, please don't make
me wear that dress. I'm sorry for teasing Alyssa, I promise I'll never
do it again."
Erin smiled and rubbed his cheek softly, listening to his pleading. "I
know honey, I know. But it's not your fault, at all. I can see how you
felt trapped in that yucky boy stuff, and wanted to have Alyssa's
princess stuff so bad... you couldn't help but tease her! Besides, I know
you won't tease Alyssa anymore, she's your big cousin now. You don't
have to compete anymore, because she's a big girl, and you're the one
and only baby princess!" Erin said happily as she expertly slid the
dress over Michael's head and pulled his arms through.
"Awww, just precious," she commented as she helped him down from the
changing table and stepped back to look at him. The skirt was just
short enough, that you could see the diaper below it. As Michael looked
down at himself in horror, he lifted the skirt some to see how much of
the diaper was visible, only to be greeted with a bright flash. He
looked up in horror, to see Erin standing there with her cell phone out.
"Erin!" he instinctively shouted, "how could you?" She paused and
looked at the humiliating picture on her cell phone. "Oh, you're right.
Sorry baby," she said, and for a moment he believed that she would stop.
However, as she walked over to the dresser and came back, she showed
Michael what she had retrieved. He should have seen it coming.
In the hands of his beautiful fianc?e was an exact replica of Alyssa's
princess crown, only larger. On the front, it had pink stones spelling
out "Princess Potty Pants," identical to what he had written on Alyssa's
so long ago. She affixed the crown on his head and stepped back,
snapping another cell phone picture with a giggle. "Sorry baby, shoulda
known my little Princess would want her crown before taking pictures."
Michael felt tears welling up in his eyes again as he stood there. The
next few moments flew by, and he barely noticed when Erin knelt down
before him and encased his feet in frilly ankle socks and pink Mary Jane
shoes. Finally, the dressing was done. He felt silly, exposed, and
embarrassed. He looked up at Erin and shook his head... "Please... Erin."
She smiled at him and clapped. "Oh! Sorry baby, Mommy almost forgot.
I bet baby's hungry. Let's go have some breakfast." He was again taken
by the hand and led like a toddler from the room. As Erin closed the
door behind them, she let him walk down the hallway first, unable to
contain her humor and giggling at the way that the thickness of the
diaper forced him to waddle a little bit. "Oh... baby stop." Michael
immediately stopped, hoping she had made him endure enough. He turned
around, hopeful and bright eyed, but as she took his hand again she
said, "These stairs are dangerous for babies. You need to hold Mommy's
hand when we go on stairs. Also, since you seem to be having so much
trouble walking, why don't we crawl when we get downstairs, okay
sweety?"
Michael wanted to die, and as they arrived at the foot of the stairs,
she released his hand and crossed her arms across her chest, watching
him expectantly. At this point, Michael assumed that she wanted to pay
him back for refusing to see a fertility doctor, and that if he just let
her have her fun, it would stop soon. With a sigh, he dropped to his
hands and knees and started crawling toward the dining room. Again,
Erin laughed when she saw his diapered butt and the words "Mommy's Lil'
Booty" so adorably written on it. When they entered the dining room,
Michael came to an immediate stop... sitting there in place of the middle
chair at their table was a pink and white high chair.
"Upsies baby girl," Erin said playfully as once again she helped him
into an oversized infant apparatus. As his tray was clicked into place,
he realized that his arms were pinned beside him. "Erin... I'm stuck,"
he said softly, almost too humiliated to even speak. "You don't need
your hands baby, that's what Mommy is for. Now here, why don't you do
some reading while I get breakfast ready?" she asked before laying
papers down before him. Fresh tears formed in the corners of his eyes
as he began to read.
The first document he read was signed by him, and was a total power of
attorney agreement, where he had apparently granted Erin complete power
over himself. The second was another legal form, which took a minute
for him to decipher, but when he did it sent a chill through his body.
It was a legal change of name or alias form, which had effectively
changed his name to Michelle Stephanie Martin. Trembling, he
investigated the next form and suddenly the picture became clear. It
was a copy of his medical release from the Army...detailing his willing
and optional vasectomy procedure.
As Erin prepared their breakfast, she watched him study the documents.
She knew Michael, very well, and she knew that these documents would go
a long way toward enforcing his new situation. When the food was ready,
she reemerged from the kitchen with their plates and sat them down on
the table before scooping up the documents and replacing them in her
satchel. "Now, who's a hungry little baby?" Erin asked as she placed
his plate on the high chair tray. Michael decided that now was the time
to go for broke, and attempt to talk himself out of this situation.
"Listen, Erin I know that you're upset. I should have told you a long
time ago about the vasectomy and everything, but I just figured that you
wanting a baby would pass. You know that sometimes you get on a kick,
and I just thought that this was another one. I'm so sorry for lying to
you, but it's not a big deal... certainly not big enough to warrant all of
this!" He watched as she sat still, staring at him coldly. He didn't
know if she would say "ok" and stop all this, or punch him in the face.
Luckily for him, neither happened as after a moment she started
speaking.
"I know what was different about your morning this morning, Michael... but
do you know what was different about mine? I got you up, and got you
clean and dressed. I made your breakfast and I have helped you do
basically everything that you needed. I have tried to reassure you,
even when you are scared and feel helpless. Tell me what's new with
this routine." After a moment, and after going through the obviously
smart ass answers of I'm wearing a diaper, duh! Michael sat silent, as
he understood her point. Finally, she spoke again.
"Nothing is different or new Michael. This is my life each and every
day, but I love you so I do it. I tolerate your selfishness, your
dirtiness, your lack of concern or effort... and I try to help you because
I love you. Until I found that medical paper, I thought you loved and
respected me. I know you love me, but you don't respect me... and
honestly, I don't respect you. So, in this new situation, I have
created a life where I don't need to respect you, and where you will
have no choice but to respect me."
Michael nodded, knowing that she was right. She picked up his fork,
which he had just noticed was part of a Disney princess dining set... it
was also small, plastic, and for a baby. He had expected baby food or
something silly like that, but instead he found a plate of fresh fruit
cut up for him. As she fed him a piece of strawberry, she continued
speaking. "You will respect me Michael, because if I decide that you
are going to poop in your diapers... guess what, you're going to. If I
decide to send you to nursery school, you're going. If I get a wild
hair up my ass and want to enter you in a toddler beauty pageant... well,
you know what I'm going to say my little pageant princess, don't you?"
Michael had no choice but to chew his food and nod.
As she continued feeding him, she kept talking... never breaking stride.
"Now, I want us to be happy and for this to go smoothly. If you're a
good little girl, and a sweet princess, then Mommy will be sweet and
nice. But if you rebel Michael, if you refuse to accept your new
station in life, then Mommy will punish her little Diaper Princess. Do
you understand?" Michael nodded softly, still staring down into the
pink and blue Cinderella bowl. The rest of the meal was eaten in
silence, and when they were done, she finally spoke again. "Now, I'm
going to tell you the new rules of the house, and as you could see by
our "custody agreement," you are really in no position to argue."
Michael cringed and blush anew as he listened to her lay out the new
rules for his new life.
"First, your name is not Michael Connor anymore; it is now Michelle
Stephanie Martin... both legally and in practice." She stared at him,
allowing a moment for this to sink in. "You will learn a great many
things about being an authentic and believable baby girl over the next
few months, but most importantly is knowing your name." "While we're on
the subject of names, there have been some other changes you should know
about. First, my name is Mommy or Mama... NOT Erin. Not to you anymore.
My mother's name is not Lucia... its Na-Na. Any other names can be added
or changed later, but for right now... if you break this rule, you will
get a severe spanking young lady. Do you understand?" Erin asked him,
testing his willingness to conform. "Yes," came his only answer, which
elicited a raised eyebrow from her. "What did you say little potty
pants princess?" she asked loudly. "Yes Mommy, I understand," Michael
said, unable to look up.
"Secondly," she continued, "I am now very responsible for you... legally.
This means that you will always be supervised. I have a month off, so
for now I will be with you all the time. However, when I return to work
this means you will have a sitter." Michael did look up now, his eyes
meeting hers and his fear was evident. She smiled now and nodded.
"That's right, Michelle. Na-Na is very, very used to babysitting little
pampers princesses like you... and with Alyssa gone now, she's bored."
Erin let this soak in for a moment before continuing. "If I get a bad
report, that spanking you got earlier is going to seem like a blowjob by
comparison." She looked into Michael's eyes and waited expectantly.
Understanding, Michael nodded. "Yes Mommy."
"Finally, you need to fully understand that you are no longer a grown
man. You are a little prissy, pissy, silly, diaper booty, doll
cuddling, pampered princess, swishy missy girl now. Do you understand?"
Michael cringed at every word, his face a burning bright red with shame.
"Yes Mommy, I get it." Erin smiled and shook her head. "No, I want to
hear you say it... all." She said softly. Michael gasped, and searched
her face... finding only seriousness. "I'm a little prissy, pissy, silly,
diaper booty, doll cuddling, pampered princess, swishy missy girl."
Erin could not contain her laughter as she nodded. "That's right. That
means that any attempt by you to act in any way different from that...
will be punished." Michael nodded solemnly, "Yes Mommy." "Okie dokie
then. While I wash up, like I do every day, I want you to memorize this
card." From the corner of the room, she produced a large piece of
poster card and laid it before him. As she collected the dishes, she
said cryptically, "There will be a test."
As Michael read the card, he immediately felt shamed. Surely, she did
not expect him to recite this. Michael shook his head, but the burning
in his bottom had only just subsided, and he was in no hurry for another
trip across Erin's knee. So, he did study the card... memorizing it quite
easily. The problem now, was not the card. He had been ushered into
babydom immediately after waking... and his bladder was screaming at him.
He didn't know what to do about it, but trapped in the high chair, his
options were limited. He decided to try the sweet route, and ask Erin
for help.
"Um, Mommy" he said nervously. "Yes sweety," came the reply from the
kitchen. "I... um..." he focused, trying not to say piss or any other grown
up euphemisms, "need to go." Erin smiled to herself in the kitchen,
trying not to laugh. Knowing exactly what was bugging him, she came
into the dining room. "Well Michelle, I told you already... we have a big
day ahead. You can't go anywhere right now." "No, I need to go Mommy,"
he tried again. "Go where"? Michael cringed and closed his eyes. "I
need to go to the bathroom." This time Michelle did snicker a bit.
"That's not what I remember babies saying," she chided. "Do you mean
you need to go pee-pee? Or do you mean that you need to go poo-poo?"
She was dangling him on a string. "I need to go pee-pee Mommy." Erin
nodded and patted his back, leaning down to kiss his cheek. "Well,
you're wearing your potty baby, have fun," she said, before returning to
the kitchen to finish the dishes.
Michael gasped, and tried his best to not use the diaper. However, as
he sat there and the thickness of the diaper forced his legs apart, he
found it impossible to stop himself. Suddenly, and without warning, a
steady stream of urine flooded the diaper... causing it to fill and get
even thicker as he sat there in the high chair. Just as he finished
using the diaper, Erin came back in and released him from the seat.
However, when she saw how bright he was blushing, and noticed how shy he
seemed, she knew exactly what had happened. She poked the diaper
playfully, feeling the warmth through the material. "Oh wow... baby must
really love her little princess pampers," she said playfully.
Michael assumed that he would be led toward the stairs again, but
instead found himself led into the living room. "Okay baby, now recite
the card you studied for Mommy." Michael gasped again, barely able to
stand now due to the thick and heavy diaper he was trapped in. She
intended to make him recite the card, after just using his diaper... which
would make it all the worse. Seeing her sit back on the couch and cross
her legs, he knew he would not be going anywhere or doing anything unti
