A New Kind Of Family
(Note: It has been a long time since I had the desire to write, so I
hope I am not too rusty. An idea hit me over the holiday break and I
just had to put it on paper. I don't know when if ever I'll write
again, but I just thought I'd share it with all of you.
There is no crossdressing or anything transgendered related in this
story. This story is mostly an age-play story that has four characters
go through some subtle and different changes. I am posting it here
because it has some elements that I think people would enjoy reading.
It has some forced elements; some embarrassing elements, some sissy
elements and clothing that would interest people.
The story is slow and very methodical. I've kind of described it as
watching a sitcom's entire season on DVD. The character progression is
slow and can be a bit repetitive, but it is great watch overall. I
think people will enjoy it and I hope they find something to like out of
it. I think it was a great idea and rather unique. But, I hope you
enjoy it!
Thank You!

Chapter 1
Today should have been a great day for Heather. She had graduated
earlier in the week from college with a degree in Psychology and a minor
in Early Childhood Education. She was still young and had a beautiful
look to her with the shiniest blond hair you could ever imagine, blue
eyes that sparkled and an incredibly inviting smile. However, Heather
felt that her life wasn't going exactly to plan. Her dream of getting
married right after graduation never panned out. All of the frat boys
she dated turned out just to be immature boys and wouldn't give her the
life that she deserved. Also, she didn't land any self respecting job
after graduation as she was now stuck living with her roommate from
college.
Katherine, on the other hand, had just landed a great job right out of
college. Because of her accounting degree, she was pursued by many top
companies and got to choose the one she wanted. She chose a rather
large firm where she would be left alone for most of the day and she
could work her numbers. See, unlike Heather who could woo anybody with
a smile, Katherine had trouble getting people to respect her. As a
mousey brunette with dark brown eyes and not an eye for fashion,
Katherine was mostly mistaken for somebody half her age. In fact, that
is exactly what happened when she and Heather met on the first day of
college freshman year.
Heather truly thought her roommate was a grade school student as she
looked down at the tiny girl. However, after some explaining, Heather
got the real story as Katherine was just a small girl waiting for a
growth spurt that never seems to come. After a week of watching
Katherine struggle with everyday activities, Heather's large maternal
aspect kicked into overdrive and she began taking care of Katherine's
every little need. It got so bad that Heather would skip out on dates
to take of Katherine and continued to this very day. Even though
Heather had no job, she still got up early to wake up Katherine, make
her breakfast and even pick out her clothes for her. By now, the act
had grown weary on Heather and she wondered if Katherine would ever take
care of herself.
It was after Heather showed Katherine to work that our story really
begins. After job searching in the morning, Heather decided to try
another interest as she went around to the many different dating sites.
After trying all the normal ones, Heather found a profile that she had
never seen before on a website she had never heard of. His name was
Dave; he was a handsome doctor who was looking to settle down for the
long haul. It was then that Heather noticed that she had stumbled upon
a single parent's dating website and saw that Dave had a son named
William. With a shrug of her shoulders, she messaged Dave and they set
up a meeting for that evening.
Dave was older than Heather and felt rather apprehensive about going out
with such a young girl. His trepidation came to fruition when Heather
met him at a hot dance club in seedy place downtown. Heather was
dressed in a sparkly dress that showed off all of her assets as Dave
felt out of place in his Hawaiian shirt and jeans. After one song, he
excused himself and said that he had to go home to his son. Dave felt
completely out of place and wondered if dating was the right thing for
him to be doing.
On the other hand, Heather was completely mortified. Dave was
everything she was looking for in a husband with his tall figure, tight
muscles and dark hair. As she went home and went to bed, she wondered
if her life could go any further down. She didn't know what to do and
nothing in the world could make her feel better. When she woke up the
next morning and helped Katherine through the day, she needed something
to help forget about last night. So, the two girls decided to spend
that day at the mall and do some shopping therapy.
Usually, going to the mall would be an enjoyable experience for Heather.
She and a group of friends would go to the trendiest shops in town, gush
over the cute outfits and talk about their recent events with either
their boyfriends or husbands. As the only single girl, Heather would
feel out casted and so she decided to bring Katherine. However,
Katherine brought along her own set of problems as she had no care in
clothing and would constantly get lost in the crowded mall. After
losing the little girl one too many times, Heather grabbed her hand and
pulled her along with her. With some bags in one hand and Katherine in
the other, Heather was exhausted by the time she left the mall.
However, she decided to leave at the exact right time as she heard her
name being called behind her.
"Heather!" Dave needed to do some shopping at the mall as well and was
just about to leave when he spotted the familiar blond. It was when he
saw her tugging on a little girl that Dave suddenly saw Heather in a new
light. She wasn't some gold digging college girl, but a young mother
trying to make it in the world on her own. Heather's situation reminded
Dave of his own circumstance and felt a need to give her a second
chance.
Heather turned around to see Dave walking towards them. Her eyes bugged
out of her head as she thought that she would never see the dreamboat
doctor ever again. However, he was now walking towards her with a smile
on his face as she nervously blew a piece of her fallen hair out of her
face.
"It's so nice to see you again, Heather. I'm sorry about last night,
but I just felt so out of place there. I mean, I was probably the
oldest person there. But, that's in the past and you never did tell me
about your little angel here. What's her name?" Dave said to Heather as
he bent down to look Katherine in the eye. Dave was taller than Heather
by a good head, so he was absolutely towering over little Katherine.
In that moment, everything clicked inside of Heather. Dave didn't want
a cute thing to have a wild romp with. Dave wanted a mother for his son
and a new family. That is why he was embarrassed at the club last night
and that is why he approached Heather at the mall. Heather then
remembered the website that they first met on. It was for single
parents and Dave had a son of his own. She then saw that Dave thought
Katherine was her daughter. Realizing she couldn't let this opportunity
slip from her hands, Heather quickly interjected before Katherine even
had a chance to say a word. "Katie! This is my daughter, Katie. We
were just doing some shopping today and I'm so glad to have run into
you. Listen, I'm sorry too about last night. It's been so long since I
have dated that I didn't know what to do. Is there any way that I can
make it up to you?"
Katherine's brown eyes became as large as saucers as she looked up to
her best friend and this strange man that she had obviously seen last
night. She knew that Heather was upset, but Katherine couldn't believe
that she would even talk to this man again. What was more upsetting was
the fact that she had suddenly become Heather's daughter and they
weren't even talking to her. It got even worse as Dave's large hand
patted her on her head as he rose to his full length. Pondering for a
moment, Dave always believed in second chances and thought Heather had
made an honest mistake. Maybe this girl was just like him and that last
night was just a big mistake. So, with a charming smile to both girls,
Dave nodded his head and made Heather's heart flutter. "Listen,
tomorrow is my day with my son, William. Why don't we meet at the park
after lunch? The kids can play together and we can get to know each
other without the loud thumping music."
Heather was literally on cloud nine as Dave walked away. She got her
second date even though she had to do a little bit of lying to make it
happen. However, she was seeing Dave tomorrow and nothing was going to
change her good mood. Not even the scowl on Katherine's face as they
walked towards the car. Heather said she would explain herself when
they got back to the apartment as she hoped Katherine's mood would
change by the time they got home. However, Katherine was still furious
and was absolutely peeved about the whole situation. As Heather watched
her yell and scream in the car and then in their apartment, she no
longer saw the young girl as her friend, but as her real daughter. She
was just throwing a temper tantrum and all the years of Heather taking
care of Katherine boiled up and she couldn't take it anymore.
"Listen here, young lady! I am tired of taking care of you as I have
been doing it ever since we first met. I do everything for you and help
make your life easier as you have just become lazier and lazier. All I
am asking is for you to do one thing to make me happy. I really like
this guy and I think this could lead somewhere. So, would you please do
this for me?"
Katherine was pretty surprised by Heather's outburst. Katherine
couldn't help the fact that she was so small and that everything in life
was much more difficult for her. But, Heather was right and she had
done a ton to help Katherine get through college and even to this day.
She did it without even asking and would usually do it with a little
smile. Yes, Katherine hated being treated like a child, but if that is
what she had to do for Heather, then maybe she could help out her best
friend. With a shrug and a disgruntled maybe, Katherine went into her
room and closed the door.
Chapter 2
Heather could not keep her mind off of Dave and the date they had
planned the next day. After trying to do anything else, she finally
succumbed to her new found obsession and went to her computer. She
found the old portfolio of him from the dating site and using a couple
of little tricks, she found some rather interesting information. Dave
had been married for a short while to a now very successful lawyer. She
was currently running her own firm and Heather found her to be a very
stern woman. She found many nanny postings asking for anybody to watch
over Billy as he was obviously too much to handle for most of the young
girls. Heather began to realize and see how their marriage fell apart
so quickly and how Billy began to become who he is today. Both Dave and
his ex worked long hours and Billy had nobody to really put him in his
place. Billy needed a firm hand and somebody to watch him over to help
raise him properly.
Dave had been burned on love and he wondered if it was even worth it in
the end. Dave really is a shell of his former self and Heather quickly
realized that he needed somebody to treat him like the King that he
truly is. She could easily build up his confidence again and teach him
how to be a man once again. Dave would be the center of her world and
would fall head over heels in love with her. She had learned from her
previous mistake of moving too fast. She would become exactly the type
of girl that he wanted. She would be patient, loving and move the
relationship much slower that before. This would take time for Heather
to build what she wanted. She had the pieces needed, but she had to
mold every one of them into exactly what she wanted. With a smile on
her face, Heather began preparing tomorrow's big day and the first
change that needed to happen was with Kathryn and herself.
Kathryn had been thinking about the situation most of the night as she
began to assess her relationship with Heather. See, Kathryn's parents
weren't around very much when she was younger as she had felt alone most
of her life. Later on, they had vanished all together and Kathryn then
began to move from home to home. Going to college and meeting Heather
really was the prayer that she needed answered. Heather was the first
person to treat her like family and actually really begin to love her.
She was like a sister that she never knew and truly appreciated all the
hard work that Heather did for her. She was extremely reluctant about
tomorrow, but she did want to lose the only family member she had left
in her life.
The next morning, Heather was waking up Kathryn much earlier than
normal. Heather hadn't heard a word from Kathryn about the entire
situation, so it was assumed that Kathryn had approved of today's
activities. However, all throughout the night, Kathryn had been having
doubts about the entire idea. Her nerves had gotten the best of her and
she hardly slept the night before. So, when Heather came in the next
morning, she was almost like a zombie as she was awoken from her soft
bed. Heather quickly pounced on the slow moving girl and got her ready
and dressed for the morning. A simple tee shirt and jeans would be all
she would need especially where they were going. Heather had already
planned out the day and they had to hurry if they were going to make it
to the park at the agreed time.
Kathryn finally came awake just as they were pulling up to a rather
extravagant and expensive looking shop. Her blurry vision found the
sign and saw at the bottom that they had arrived at a salon and spa.
Kathryn was about to ask what was going on when Heather spoke to her in
that similar tone from yesterday. This time, she wasn't yelling at her,
but it had a hint of condescension and firmness that felt like Heather
was Kathryn's mother.
"Good Morning Sunshine! I hope you are ready for our big day today. I
have brought you here for a little makeover and as a thank you for doing
this for me today. You will finally get to see what it is like to be
pampered and be treated like a princess." Kathryn had never been to a
salon nor a spa as she usually got her hair cut at some chain store.
So, a part of her was excited to try out this new experience as her body
was sore from the hard work she put into her job the past week. But,
just as Kathryn's excitement was growing, Heather reminded Kathryn the
real reason they were here today. "For this to work, I need your total
dedication and help. So, my name is no longer Heather, but Mother and
you are my little Katie. I want you on your best behavior and to be
just like the sweet little girl that you can be. So, Katie, can you do
that, just for me?"
Heather looked at Kathryn with her bright blue eyes and sparkling smile
as she begged her friend to play along with their ploy. Heather
wouldn't force her best friend to do anything she didn't like and this
was a large leap of faith for her. Kathryn was a little scared, but as
she looked to her friend, she was reminded of the past years they spent
together. Kathryn remembered all of the little things Heather did for
her and how safe she made her feel in such a large world. How bad could
it be just to help her this one time? So, with a smile and a nod of her
head, Kathryn spoke her words that she never thought she'd ever say.
"Yes, Mother!"
A little bell was heard throughout the salon when the door opened to
reveal a mother and a daughter. Heather held Katie's hand as they
walked up to the counter and for the first time in a long time, Katie
felt rather safe and protected. An older woman appeared from behind a
door and went up to the counter to greet the young pair. She was
wearing a pink smock, a pair of reading glasses and had slightly graying
brown hair. She was immediately friendly to the new customers as she
bypassed the entire counter and greeted Heather in the customer area.
"Heather! It's so nice to finally see your face. We are just about
ready for you and your daughter. I was so happy to get your phone call
and the wonderful news." With a warm and infectious smile, she greeted
Heather with a gentle hug and then lowered herself to Katie's height.
Almost instinctively, Katie gripped Heather's hand tighter and went
closer to her new mother. The salon owner did her best to quell the
scared child as she shook the young girl's hand. "Your mother tells me
that you are tired of being a little tomboy! She says that you finally
want to be a little princess and we are here to help. Just think of me
as your fairy godmother."
Katie's eyes went up to Heather's when she heard the tomboy mention.
Her fear was quickly rising as they were led back to a secluded area and
a very large change room. Katie wanted to get angry at Heather, but it
was hard as the larger woman began removing all of her clothing.
Heather just reminded Katie of her promise and that everything would
work out in the end. Katie always felt self consciousness about her
body and standing naked next to Heather made her feel even worse.
Heather's breasts were like large balloons compared to her little nubs
and her womanly figure was even more prevalent compared to Katie's stick
like body. She was very happy to put on the soft cotton robe and led
out to the spa area.
The next few hours were a cavalcade of new experiences for Katie.
Heather had been to a salon many times in her life and really helped
ease Katie's fears from each new experience. The steam bath was a bit
too hot at the beginning, but her little body got used to the water and
she began to relax more and more. Katie had never felt this clean in
her entire life as she truly felt that she could melt into a little
puddle in the warm water. After the bath, they were led to separate
tables and were given massages by the two young women. Heather's
massage was a bit more intense as the young woman worked on Heather's
longer limbs and body. Katie's massage was just a gentle rub as the
masseuse didn't want to hurt the little girl. However, all of the
little knots and sore muscles quickly dissipated in the gentle hands of
the young woman. After the massage, they were then given a skin
treatment and a facial. Katie's skin and face felt so open and clean as
the moisturizer and ingredients were rubbed into her delicate skin.
Heather could see the affect of the spa visit have on Katie. She was
much more relaxed and all of the treatment was taking years off her
body. She began to shine in the light, smell like a fresh garden and
get back her baby soft look. With a smile on her face, Heather watched
Katie loose many years of the aging process in a matter of moments.
With two fresh robes, Katie and Heather were led back to the salon area.
They were quickly greeted by the owner who had the largest smile on her
face. After making sure everything was up to their satisfaction, it was
now time for the second part of their trip. The owner took Katie's hand
and led her to her hair station. Katie could see a small booster seat
on the chair as she was picked up and placed on top of it. A slight
pink hue reached her cheeks as she was now the perfect height for the
salon owner to work on her hair. Completely ignoring the little girl,
the owner began to prepare her for her salon treatment. A satin pink
cape was pulled around her neck and buttoned up behind her. With a bit
of fear in her eyes, Heather did her best to calm down her little girl.
"Now, Katie, Mommy has to leave you here for a little bit. However, I
will be right next door and I know you are in safe hands. You will look
like the sweetest princess when you are done." Heather had already told
the owner what she wanted Katie's hair to look like and Heather needed
to get her hair done as well. So, with a sweet kiss on her cheek,
Heather left Katie in the shop owner's hands. Katie's blush was even
deeper after the kiss as she shifted on the booster seat. She had no
idea what was about to happen to her stringy, straight and dark colored
brown hair, but she was certain that she would not even recognize
herself.
To keep with the dramatic surprise, Katie's back was turned towards the
mirror so that she could not even get a glimpse of herself. After
getting her hair damp once more, the owner began snipping away and
styling her long hair. The owner began humming softly to Katie along
with her giving updates about the process. Katie watched as pieces of
her brown hair began to fall on the cape in front of her. The booster
seat made her little feat hang in the middle of the air which only made
her feel even shorter and higher up than she actually was. After the
trimming, the owner began to explain to Katie that she was going to put
some solution in her hair and for her to close her eyes real tight.
After a while, Katie began to smell the heavy solution that was being
spread onto her hair as her curiosity was getting the best of her.
However, the salon owner watched the young girl's eyes very carefully
and admonished her anytime she tried to sneak a peek. In the other
area, Heather was almost finished with her visit. She only needed a
small trim and a new manicure for her to be ready for her big date. Her
blonde hair now showed even brighter along with a slight curl to it as
it cascaded down past her shoulders. After Heather was finished, she
paid for both her and her daughter along with sneaking out of the salon.
She went next door and picked up the clothes that had been waiting for
her. She had to do some shopping for both her and Katie to play up
their parts. Putting the packages back in their large changing area,
she went to Katie's spot just to see the owner finishing up her
handiwork.
Katie was a bit startled to see somebody hold her hand, but she felt the
suddenly familiar touch of Heather's large hand hold her securely. She
still had her eyes closed and was now a ball of nerves at wondering what
happened to her. Katie's hair felt a bit lighter except for a bit that
was against her forehead. However, all of that vanished when the salon
owner told Katie to open up her eyes and to look at the new princess.
All doubt of Heather and Katie being mother and daughter vanished when
Katie opened up her eyes to see her reflection. Her dark brown hair had
been changed quite drastically to match the shiny blonde hair of her
mothers. As Katie inspected her hair, she was amazed at the
transformation in front of her. Her hair now reached to the tips of her
shoulders and was the same bright and brassy blonde color as her
mother's. It took her a while to realize that besides a shorter length
and a whole new color, Katie had bangs to boot. All across her forehead
were the bright yellow colored bangs that separated themselves from the
longer hair that fell down the back of her head. With the salon
treatment earlier and the newly colored hairstyle, Katie hardly looked
anything like her previous self. She was a smaller image of her new
mother and had lost several years in her life. Heather immediately
hugged her daughter and gave thanks to the owner who explained that she
truly looked like a princess now.
Heather grabbed Katie from the chair and began leading her back to the
large change room. Inside, Katie noticed some new bags and she couldn't
handle her frustration any longer. However, Heather held tight to her
hand and refused to let go as Katie talked to her mother. "Heather..."
"What did I say before, young lady? Your name is Katie and my name is
mother. Now, I know all of this seems new and scary to you. But, this
is just what we have to do to play up our part. You truly look like my
young daughter instead of just my best friend. Now, I want you to look
at me and tell me you did not enjoy yourself today."
Katie looked at her mother who had bent down to her height during the
scolding. Katie couldn't lie to Heather as the salon part was lovely.
She felt reenergized and cleaner than she ever felt before. Turning to
the side, she saw herself in the mirror. She truly looked like a very
young girl and would not be mistaken as a college graduate. Katie then
hung her head and admitted defeat. "I did enjoy myself today, mother."
"See that wasn't so difficult. And trust me when I say that you look so
much cuter than before. I can promise you that all of the boys will be
chasing after you today. Now, we need to get dressed and go to the park
afterwards. I want you to promise me that I won't be hearing any
complaining at all today." Heather spoke to Katie much more akin to a
mother as she was really falling into her role. She went to the bag and
began putting on her new panty and bra. The matching panty and bra were
white with a soft red rose print on them. They were much different from
her usual thong panties as these were a bit fuller along with the bra as
well. Going back into the bag, she pulled out another pair of panties
that were much smaller.
"I promise mother." Katie almost immediately regretted those words when
she saw the pair of panties that Heather had in her hands. While
Heather had lace panties, Katie's were completely cotton and had a small
picture of Belle from 'Beauty and the Beast' on the front and a large
picture of her on the back. Katie was about to raise a protest until
she saw Heather give a more glaring look. With resignation on her face,
Katie stepped into the panties as Heather pulled them up her little
legs. Katie was expecting them to be small, but when they went
perfectly into place, she was in utter amazement. The pink band around
the top and the leg holes held them firmly in place as the super soft
cotton hugged her little bottom. The panty was actually a bit large on
her as it covered her entire private area pleasantly well. The panty
gave a bit shiver to Katie as they were fitted in place.
Heather couldn't help but giggle as she looked at her daughter admiring
herself in the mirror. It also gave her ample time to pull out the rest
of her outfit from their respective bags. Calling Katie over, she began
helping her daughter dress in more age appropriate clothing. Over the
panty came a pair soft gray legging that covered her panty and stopped
at her shins. Next was a multi-tiered skirt that went up her legs and
settled right on her panties. The waist band of her skirt was elastic,
bright yellow and had a large yellow bow in the front. The first tier
of the skirt was white with yellow polka dots, the second tier was gray
with small yellow dots and the third tier was all yellow and fell just a
little above her knees. Next, a white tee shirt was carefully pulled
over her chest making sure to not mess up any hair on her head. The
shirt had little yellow dots all on it, two large bows that matched the
skirt on the left side of the collar and a picture of Princess Belle
holding a flower saying 'Not just a pretty face' with several other
flowers around her. Finally, a simple pair of socks along with bright
white tennis shoes was put on her feet. And the last piece of the
masterpiece was a large yellow headband that went at the top of her
bangs that had a large yellow bow on the side of it.
"Now, I want you to go look at yourself in the mirror and tell me what
you see." Heather instructed her cute looking daughter as she went into
the bag and got dressed herself. Katie was in a state of shock as she
looked at herself in the mirror. If there was any doubt before, it was
completely erased when saw herself for the very first time. From the
top of the bright blonde hair to the bottom of her small tennis shoes,
Katie looked like the perfect little girl. She was a bit feminine, but
not overly so as her hands fiddled with the multiple layers of the
skirt. Finding clothes for her was a bit of challenge, but it appeared
that she had been shopping in the wrong department. These fit perfectly
and were much prettier than anything she had ever worn.
By the time Katie had gotten over her new look, her eyes moved towards
Heather as she saw the new dress that she was wearing. Heather was now
wearing a white dress with a print of soft red roses on it. The dress
zipped up the back, had lovely straps, hugged her midsection and then
flared out gently in a pleated skirt that ended slightly below her
knees. With a simple pair of white flats, Heather finished her dressing
and looked down at her daughter. Katie was amazed at the differences
between the two girls. Heather looked like the epitome of a beautiful
woman with her long legs, ample bosom and feminine figure that was only
heightened by the dress. Katie's gaze went to the mirror and saw the
young little girl staring back at her. With the crisp bangs, princess
shirt and little skirt, Katie looked like the picture of a perfect
little girl. Maybe Heather was right and Katie should just embrace her
new role. With a deep breath, Katie answered her new mother and
reaffirmed herself as she spoke. "I see a little girl, Mother."
"No. You see a beautiful little girl that her Mother loves very much."
Heather bent down to wrap her long arms around her princess and gives
her a sweet kiss on the cheek. Katie was a bit shock by the show of
affection, but the warm feeling inside of her quickly made the fear
disappears instantaneously. For the first time in a very long time,
Katie felt loved and admired. She felt safe in her mother's arms and it
was becoming easier falling into the role of her daughter. She wasn't
exactly comfortable with the whole situation, but the lovely and nagging
warm emotion kept quelling any trepidation she might have. Heather
could not stop smiling as she looked at the two of them in the mirror.
She knew that they looked like the perfect pair, but that was the easy
part and it was only going to get more difficult. So, with the
intoxicating mixture of sweet and a little firm in her voice, Heather
began to prepare Katie for the day ahead.
"Now that we have the look down, we need to work on the other areas. I
have been very impressed with you today as you have acted just like a
sweet little girl. You are going to have many admirers that want to
talk to you. So, when we leave the shop today, I want you to thank the
store owner properly." In a matter of moments, Heather and Katie were
walking to the front of the store. Considering it was much later in the
day, the shop had gotten much busier as some of the woman watched the
mother and her daughter walk through the salon. The store owner was
finishing up a customer when she turned around to see Heather and Katie
approaching. The smile on her face could have lit up the room as she
looked and talked to Heather. After a short while that made Katie grip
her mother's hand just a little bit tighter, the store owner bent down
to address Katie.
"There was a little princess under that tomboy. You look absolutely
adorable little Katie. Is Belle your favorite princess?" The sweet
lady was just amazed at how much they could transform a little girl in
just a short amount of time. At the beginning, she was a tomboy that
didn't care about her appearance at all. But now, the spa had
subtracted years from her, she now smelt like the freshest of flowers,
her bright blonde hair sparkled like sunlight and she was dressed much
more appropriately for a young girl her age. Katie looked at the sweet
lady and felt her mother's gaze looking at her that she knew what was
expected of her.
"Yes, Ma'am! Belle is so pretty and smart and always sees the good in
people and loves everybody and is so beautiful. Thank you for making me
pretty." The store owner said it was her pleasure and would welcome
them back with open arms. She even offered Katie a little lollipop that
she opened and gave to her willing hand. With a final smile, the new
mother and daughter left the salon and went into their car. Heather
could not be prouder of her new daughter as they drove to the park. She
was on the right track of having her perfect daughter; she just now
needed the perfect husband and son. All of this would take some time,
but Heather was now more than ready for this new challenge.
Chapter 3
Life had been going very well for Dave. He had fulfilled his dream of
becoming a successful doctor at a very large hospital. He had married
his college sweetheart who was now a very successful lawyer. His son,
William had just been born and they were the picture perfect family.
Now, Dave's life has fallen apart and he is scrambling to pick up the
pieces.
Like everything, it started very gradually as Dave and his wife had
gotten busier at both of their jobs. Dave was working long hours at the
hospital and his ex was working longer hours at the law firm. By the
time they would get home in the evening, William was already in bed and
their hired nanny had left them a quiet and empty house. It was only
during the weekends that the family spent time together and it felt cold
hanging out with almost total strangers. And that is when the problems
really began to start.
William soon realized that the nanny had no authority over him. So,
when it came time for him to push his boundaries, the nanny never pushed
back. William basically ran the house over the nanny and the parents on
the weekends. Both Dave and his ex almost felt guilty for working such
long hours that they didn't want to punish William during the small time
that they had together. So both parents did everything they could to
please William. Eventually he got whatever he wanted and could do
anything that he wanted to do without any repercussions. Of course,
this only made the situation even worse until one day it all came to a
halt.
Dave came home from work to find most of the furniture missing and a
divorce request from his now ex wife. In the coming weeks, Dave quickly
became a single father with full custody of an out of control child.
His ex wanted nothing to do with him and very little with her own son.
She explained that her job took too much time and that is her one
priority in life. Dave was amazed to see the woman he loved forsake him
and their son for a high paying law career.
The divorce hit Dave incredibly hard and it showed in his work. Younger
doctors began taking his shifts and getting more complex cases while he
was left with the simple and repetitive tasks that he did years ago. He
started dressing and acting more unprofessional at work as he would
mostly just wear old scrubs around the hospital. The senior staff
noticed his appearance, demeanor and less work load which made it easy
for promotions to pass him by. The one bright side was the fact that he
was getting home earlier than usual, but that still did not help with
William and his nannies. The young girls would stay for about a week
and then leave out of total frustration. Dave would get mad at William,
but he still couldn't find the heart to punish him. So, the entire
cycle repeated without any changes to the household.
It was during one of those nights of depression as he searched for a
nanny that he found the single parent's dating site. Dave knew that he
could not raise William by himself and the nanny situation wasn't
helping one bit. The scars of his ex were still warm, but he wasn't
ready to give up on happiness. He then created a profile in hopes of
finding somebody who could help him and his son. He was looking for
salvation on this site and he had hoped that he had found it in Heather
and Katie. She had the most potential out of all of his dates, but he
worried that she was too young and immature for him. That is why he
gave her a second chance in a different setting. Going to the park
would take them away from the noisy club and he could see what type of
parent she is to her daughter. Dave could find out if she is good
mother material.
It was a beautiful late spring day as the sun was out and shining on the
large park. Many families had jumped at the chance of the good weather
to take their children to the park, so it was a bit more crowded than
normal. Heather and Katie were sitting on a bench in front of a
slightly crowded playground as they waited for Dave and William to
appear. Heather was giving tips and compliments to her daughter about
the coming meeting. Her words were filled with praise that made Katie
feel really good about the situation. However, there was also a hidden
stern tone regarding her behavior that erased any doubts she may have.
As her new mother continued talking to her, Katie saw quite a number of
heads in the playground look over to her. The young and judging eyes
would stare a bit too long as they wondered about the girl and her
mother. After sitting on the bench and not moving, she was quickly
labeled a mama's girl and completely ignored as the children went back
to playing. Heather also felt a certain number of eyes from the parents
as they looked at her and Katie. It was apparently obvious that Heather
and Katie were the best and most formally dressed people in the park.
This was actually a point that Heather wanted to make to Dave to show
that she really was better than any other girl he had met before.
As Heather and Katie waited patiently on the bench, Dave was already on
his last straw as they got out of their expensive luxury car. He could
not find any of his nice clothes being clean this morning, so he was
wearing an old pair of jeans and a tattered college tee shirt. Getting
William dressed was a whole different story as he threw a large fit at
what clothing he wore today. Dave succumbed to his son and allowed him
to wear his Spiderman briefs along with a long sleeve blue tee shirt
that was underneath a short sleeve black tee shirt that had a large
picture of Spiderman on the front. A pair of black jean shorts, socks
and expensive tennis shoes completed his outfit as they walked the path
to the playground.
Walk would be a kind word as William almost ran in front of his father.
He veered off the path into the playground for a few steps before Dave
caught up to him and forcefully grabbed his hand. He then explained the
situation again and explained that play time would be later, but they
first had two nice people to meet. The sudden commotion caused the two
women to turn their head as Heather's heart went a flutter at the
approaching man and his son. Dave looked even better than the last time
she saw him as the sun brought out all of his best features. Heather
quickly grabbed her daughter's hand as they stood next to the bench and
waited for the two men to come closer to them.
However, her perfect diamond had some roughness to him as they were now
right next to each other. Dave looked exhausted already and his
tattered clothing along with disheveled appearance showed that he no
longer cared and was just exasperated of the entire situation. Katie's
blush reappeared as she felt entirely uneasy about the situation. All
the other children looked at her strange because of her girly and
overdressed appearance. So, she gripped her mother's hand even tighter
and tried to hide against her mother's dress. However, the truly
embarrassing part of the situation was the realization just how small
she truly was. Dave was a very tall guy and William inherited almost
all of his genes. He was very tall for his age, a bit lanky and had the
same dark hair on his head. Katie suddenly realized that in outwardly
appearances, she was the younger of the two children. Dave looked at
the exquisitely dressed young lady in front of him as he became
embarrassed of his appearance. Heather looked like an old movie star
and Dave did not feel worthy of being in her presence. But, she was
there for him and Dave had to do whatever possible to make this angel
fall for him.
"I am sorry we are so late, but it has been a very hectic morning. I
hope you didn't have to wait long. And I liked to introduce my son,
William." Dave was holding William's hand as he forced the young boy to
stand next to him. William's gaze went from Heather and then to Katie
for only the shortest of seconds. He was a typical young boy and girls
meant absolutely nothing to him. He especially disliked little prissy
girls as they were not cool enough for him. He did no indication to
greet the two young ladies as his gaze did not leave the playground. A
slightly audible sigh came from Dave as he looked from William to
Heather. "Why don't we let them play and we can talk on the bench?"
"I don't want to play with a stupid girl!" Three pairs of eyes went to
stare at William with three very unique reactions as he almost yelled
his disgust at the idea of playing with the prissy girl standing in
front of him. Dave's anger peaked as he wanted to yell at his own son,
but that quickly failed to surface as he was resigned to defeat.
Katie's fear almost got the best of her as she prevented the tears from
rising in her eyes. Hurt from his words, Katie buried her face in her
mother's dress and desperately wanted to run back home. Heather felt a
sudden pang in her heart that was a new emotion for her. How dare this
little ruffian call her little princess stupid? She instinctively
became protective of little Katie as she realized that her work was
going to be harder than she ever imagined. Dave was like an injured
bird and William was completely out of hand. Waiting a few seconds for
his father to do anything, Heather realized that she had to take matters
into her own hands. Bending down, she looked William in his eyes to
begin to fix the situation.
"Now, Billy, you shouldn't say hurtful things to people you just met.
That wasn't a very nice thing for you to say and I know you hurt Katie's
feelings. Look how scared she is of you when she was just telling me
how she wanted to be friends with you. I think you need to apologize to
her and I think you owe me a favor. See, Katie has never been to this
park before and she is a little afraid of going to the playground. I
think if she has a strong gentleman to help and protect her, she would
feel a lot safer. So, why don't you watch over her and show her around
the playground? Can you do that for me, little man?"
Billy didn't know who this strange woman was and why she was talking to
him like that. But, for the first time in a very long time, he did feel
bad for his words as the little girl was close to tears as she hid from
the mean young boy. Because he is an only child, Billy has never had
the feeling of protecting someone smaller than him. He couldn't help
but feel proud at the idea of wanting to help this little girl. In his
mind, he would be like a superhero or a knight that saved the princess
from all the evil in the world. So, Billy looked to the young girl who
was actually kind of cute in his eyes and spoke in a tone that
absolutely floored his father as he offered his hand to the cute girl.
"I am sorry Katie for calling you stupid. Do you want to play in the
playground together?"
Billy led Katie almost running to play on the playground. The other
children had watched the entire situation as they looked at the boy and
the girl play together. The other kids thought that they were a bit
strange and so they mostly stayed away from them as they went exploring
every nook of the playground. At first, Katie didn't want to do this at
all, but her grown up side gave way to the child wanting to explode from
inside of her heart. She never remembered playing in a park as a young
girl, so she truly felt like a little child as Billy showed her around.
Billy on the other hand stopped at every little thing and told Katie all
about it before he would first try them. He climbed the stairs of the
slide and instructed Katie to watch her step and follow him closely
before he slid down with her in tow. Each obstacle became a new
challenge for the young children as Billy began to feel prouder and
prouder. He was almost gleaming with pride as he crossed the monkey
bars and Katie fell to the ground below. After helping her up, they
moved onto the swings as the two of them started laughing and playing
like real children.
Dave had thought a miracle had happened as he watched his son and his
new friend run all over the playground. The only time he had been this
happy was when he was playing one of his violent video games. He was
amazed that his little ruffian could behave like a normal child in just
a matter of moments. He turned towards Heather as she was now the angel
in his eyes. The two adults went to the park bench and began talking
about their lives. Dave told Heather all of the information that she
already knew about him. Her questions and responses had already been
planned as she expressed sympathy for Dave and his situation. Dave
talks about Billy and his behavior along with the exasperation he feels
at trying to raise him by himself. He feels lost as a parent as he
exclaimed how well behaved Katie appeared to him.
Heather listened attentively and spoke gently towards Dave. When
discussing her daughter, she used a concocted story of Katie's father
dying in the military overseas. Heather talks fondly of her late
husband and how she misses being a family. She tells Dave of outings
they would go together and how Katie has been incredibly shy ever since
her father passed away. Heather and Katie had just felt so alone and
how they wished to find somebody to make a new family. Heather could
tell that Dave was feeling bad for her and her story as that is exactly
what she wanted him to feel. Dave and Billy were the perfect fit for
Heather and Katie, but Dave just needed to see that first.
The conversation had turned more jovial after each had explained their
past. Dave was talking about his job and his career now as Heather was
drawn into every word. She was incredibly interested in his work and
wanted to hear all that he had to say. Dave hadn't felt this proud in
ages as Heather made him feel like his work mattered. Her compliments
finally boosted a sense of pride in himself that had been killed off in
the divorce. Dave felt the sunshine and the warmth for the first time
in a long time and it was all thanks to Heather.
However, after a while, Heather turned her eyes towards the playground
and noticed something was amiss. At the very side of the playground was
a little sandbox and Heather noticed her lovely daughter playing by
herself. Quickly scanning the playground, she noticed Billy playing
with a group of older boys as they were now yelling and screaming along
with throwing things at one another. Unbeknownst to Heather, the boys
had asked William to play with them and to leave the girl behind.
William quickly joined the boys and began playing roughly with them
before he ran over to the two parents. "Dad. Dad. Dad. Dad. I want
to go home and play with my iPad. Come on Dad. Let's go!!"
Heather shook the apology away as William took his father away from
Heather. She watched the father and son walk away as she got up and
went over towards her daughter. Smiling down at her and kissing the top
of her head, Heather grabbed Katie's hand as they walked towards the
car. Once it was just the two of them, Katie could not stop babbling
about Billy and all the fun they had. Heather laughed as Katie could
hardly take a breath as she exclaimed how fun it was to ride down the
slide and that she was so close of completing the monkey bars. Heather
found out about the true story of Billy and why he left Katie all by
herself. A smile crossed Heather's lips as she now had the hope that
she was looking for. Katie was becoming more and more like her
daughter. Dave was not completely broken and she could easily fix him.
The same with Billy, but she knew he might be a bit more difficult.
However, Heather knew that she had to change as well and she wondered if
she could do it as well. It would be difficult, but she knew that she
could do it. It would just take a little time.
Chapter 4
The loud buzzing sound awoke Katie from her dream as she looked over to
her alarm. Her eyes fluttered awake as she rubbed the sleep from them
to realize that it was Monday morning. A part of her wondered if
yesterday was just a dream, but when she saw the shimmering blonde hair
in the mirror, she knew that it wasn't a dream at all. After they left
the park, Heather and Katie went out to eat and watched a Disney movie
later that night. The last thing Katie remembered was falling asleep in
her mother's arms as the movie was still playing in front of them.
Katie had never felt that much love and affection in her entire life as
she was just beaming in the memories. As she pulled opened her bedroom
door, Katie was ready to see her mother once again.
However, today was very different as Heather was nowhere to be found.
Kathryn found a note saying that Heather would be busy all this week and
that Kathryn would be all on her own. Kathryn let out a little sigh,
but she soon remembered that she wasn't a little girl. She was a young
woman who had a job to get too. After eating some cold cereal and
getting dressed, Kathryn went to work and sat down at her desk. Her new
hair color and style caused a minor tidbit of information that morning.
The men in the office seemed to notice her more, but they just assumed
that she must be one of those hipsters with that hair style. The women
in the office wondered why she would pick such a juvenile style, but
both genders stopped talking about her when another gossip story hit the
office.
True to her word, Heather was hardly around during the week. Every
morning, Kathryn would wake up alone. Every day, Kathryn would do her
work alone. Every evening, Kathryn would come home to an empty place.
Sometimes, Kathryn would hear Heather come into the apartment, but she
almost immediately went into her bedroom and ignored her without even
saying a word. Later that week, Kathryn was getting very lonely as she
stared at her unfinished work on her desk. Her mind kept drifting back
to the previous weekend and the lovely time she spent with her mother.
She remembered feeling more beautiful and more loved than ever before.
Kathryn tried to escape her loneliness and depression, but it kept
coming back. It was a ghost that refused to leave her as she almost
knocked on Heather's door one evening. Thankfully, that weekend,
Heather walked into Kathryn's bedroom to see her feeling depressed.
Without even a second of thought, Katie threw back the sheets and went
to hug her mother. Heather than began to explain where she was during
the week and the plans they have for tomorrow.
Heather's plan called for a ton of work and she felt a little guilty at
manipulating these people, but she knew that this was all for the best.
Eventually, they would all see that their new lives were better than
their old ones and that she was right all along. Heather couldn't force
Katie to be her daughter all of the time. Katie had to want to be her
daughter, so Heather gave Katie the opportunity to be a grown up. She
was busy, but she purposely ignored her during the week as she wanted
Katie to see how empty the world could be. As she hugged her daughter
tighter against her, Heather knew that Katie was here to stay and that
she wouldn't have to force her to do anything anymore.
Most of the focus this past week was on Dave. Heather had gotten all of
the information she needed as she put her plan into action on Monday.
Once Katie was gone, Heather got up and got ready for the most important
part of her plan. She dressed in another dress like the one on Sunday
and began preparing a meal in the kitchen. Heather made a homemade
sandwich, a fresh salad and even some warm smelling cookies. She put
them all in a bag and went to Dave's hospital. As she parked her car,
she realized that her entire plan could blow up in her face if she was
wrong about his reaction. He could never want to see her again and it
could be over before it even started. However, as Heather finally found
Dave's office and she knocked on his door, she got the exact reaction
she was expecting.
Dave was in the middle of some tedious paperwork when he heard a soft
knock on his open door. Standing in the doorway was the most beautiful
creature he had ever seen and she was here to see him. After explaining
that she didn't want him to eat another vending machine lunch and that
she wanted to thank him for yesterday, Heather decided to surprise him
with a homemade lunch. Dave was absolutely flabbergasted as he took the
lunch and led Heather to the large lunch room.
While walking the halls, Dave was amazed at all of the looks from the
young doctors and nurses as they gazed at Heather and then Dave. They
were all amazed and shocked to see Dave walking with such a beautiful
young woman. And this woman had only eyes for him as she was completely
oblivious to anybody else around them. Dave ate the warm lunch with
such vigor as it was the best tasting meal he had in a very long time.
He could tell that it was homemade and that it was made with such care.
Heather followed every word that Dave said as she watched him with a
wide eyed innocence. He was her world and she wanted to digest every
word that he spoke. Afterwards, Dave thanked Heather for the surprise
visit and said that he hoped to do this once again. Heather nodded and
it quickly became a tradition.
Every day, Heather would show up immaculately dressed in a new feminine
dress with a handmade lunch for Dave to have. They continued talking
and Dave even took Heather on a visit of his hospital. As the days went
by, Heather began dropping subtle hints as she slowly changed Dave in
new ways. She gave him advice about raising Billy and she always loved
to hear him come back the next day saying how well the treatment work.
Dave was now beginning to stand up to Billy as he set up boundaries for
his son. He began taking away items that he loved to play with him and
to even punish him sometimes. Slowly, Billy was becoming easier to
handle and was making Dave's life much easier.
By the end of the week, Dave's confidence was beginning to increase.
Heather was not making any advancement towards him as she was waiting
patiently. He suddenly realized that he had to do his best to keep her
around him and that he had to pick himself up. Heather could not
contain the excitement she felt for him when he finally held a door open
for her. Heather was overjoyed with the progress and knew that it was
time to capitalize.
David wanted to spend more time alone with Heather, but that was
becoming more difficult. He only saw her during his lunch breaks which
were the highlight of his day. Her subtle touches and gentle nudging
was making him fall deeper for this young woman. He had to see her
outside of the lunch breaks, but their respective children were becoming
a slight problem. Billy was always home when he got off work and he was
making such good progress that he didn't want to interrupt it. It was
then he realized that the four of them could have another outing
together. So, with a giant smile on his face, David invited Heather and
Katie to a matinee during the weekend.
Heather was truly afraid of Katie's reaction to another date, but Katie
didn't even have a second of doubt as she whole heartedly agreed to the
date the night before. Even though they weren't going to the salon this
morning, Heather still got Katie up early and fed her a very warm
breakfast. After her bath, Heather began preparing Katie's outfit for
the day and she hoped that her young daughter would accept the new
outfit. Making sure there were no surprises, Heather laid out her
outfit as well. Katie got out of her bath and went into her room to
find a rather embarrassing shock. Their on her bed were two matching
dresses with one obviously made for her and another made for mother.
She looked at the dresses and then to her mother as she began to have
fear about this afternoon. Thankfully, Heather brought Katie to her lap
and sat her down to explain the situation.
"Sweetheart, you know your mother loves you and would do nothing to
embarrass her little princess. I was out shopping this week when I
found these dresses and I immediately thought of my little angel. Won't
we look so cute together wearing them on our outing today? And I need
your help with Billy and David. Remember all the fun you had with him?
Well, if we can get the meanness out of him then you can have fun with
him all the time. And don't you think they will be super jealous of
seeing two beautiful ladies in these dresses. What do you say? Do you
want to play dress up with your mother?"
With a kiss on the cheek as the final cherry on top, Katie could not
help herself as her finger felt the dress' material. If the Princess
Belle shirt and skirt made her feel so good last weekend, what was the
harm in wearing these dresses? Plus, she really did like Billy when he
was playing with her instead of being a stupid little boy. Maybe he
could change and they could become friends as Katie would really like
that. With a nod of her head, Katie stepped into the soft blue cotton
panties that were then pulled up her legs. A lacy slip was pulled over
her head that ended around her knees. Unlike a womanly slip, this slip
was specifically designed for little girls with no breasts, but would
help her new dress lay and flow properly.
The dress was then lowered over her small frame as it ended past her
slip and was zipped up behind by her mother. The dress had a blue and
white checkered pattern throughout the entire garment except for the
bright red sash that separated the bodice from the skirt and the red
wave piping around the round collar and sleeves. A pair of socks that
was pulled halfway up her shins, a pair of black flats and a pair of
small white kid gloves completed her outfit. Heather then led her
daughter to the mirror as she began brushing her hair. Telling her how
beautiful and sophisticated she looked, Katie began to blush and beam at
the image in the mirror. Quickly enough, Heather had fluffed out her
bangs and had created a small ponytail that was tied with a small red
ribbon at the back of her head. Giving her a big kiss on the cheek,
Heather told Katie to go watch some television as it was Heather's turn
to get dressed.
When Heather appeared sometime later, there were some obvious
differences between the two girls. Instead of flats, Heather was
wearing a pair of black heels. Instead of white socks, Heather was
wearing tan pantyhose that stayed up on her thighs. Heather also had on
a pair of drop pearl earrings and her hair had a slight curl to it that
then fell behind her. Her face was slightly made up with a hint of ruby
red lipstick. She was also carrying a black clutch purse, but the
biggest difference would be Heather's bosom pressing against the fabric
of the dress. Katie looked down to notice that she was completely flat
while Heather had a very prominent bust line hiding underneath her
dress. With a final look in the mirror, Heather and Katie went to meet
up with Billy and David at the movie theatre.
Looking at her and then looking at her mother, Katie's fear went away as
she was now beaming with pride. She truly felt like she was very pretty
and she was very happy to be dressed exactly like her mother. No one in
the world had a mother like hers and she wouldn't trade her for the
world. It wasn't the perfect situation, but Katie loved every moment of
being Heather's daughter. And if she could add two more members to
their growing family, she would do it in a heartbeat. As they pulled
into the parking lot and walked to the front, Katie almost stopped in
her tracks as the gloved hand of her mother only kept her moving
forward. There in the front of the theatre stood David and Billy, but
they looked much different than the last time she saw them.
David was the one now waiting for the two girls to show up as he held
onto Billy's hand waiting for his vision of beauty to finally reappear.
When they finally showed their beautiful faces, David wanted to explode
in excitement as he walked towards the ladies. Besides showing up
early, David and Billy looked completely different than the last time
they saw them. David was clean cut, shaven and dressed much better. He
had on a white buttoned down collared shirt, a pair of tan slacks and a
nice pair of brown loafers. He was walking with more confidence and a
sense of pride when he saw the most beautiful woman in the world with
her daughter. This time around, David led Billy by the hand and he was
not running ahead. He seemed much quieter and less boisterous than
before. He also changed the most as Katie could hardly believe her eyes
when he stood in front of her.
Gone was the Spider Man shirt, the black jean shorts and the ruffled
hair. He had gotten a hair cut as it was now much shorter and styled
properly. He was wearing a white collared shirt underneath a light blue
argyle sweater vest. The vest had large white diamonds in the
traditional argyle pattern all around it as the collar and short sleeves
were not covered by the vest. A pair of blue pants that looked pressed
and almost pristine white shoes finished off his outfit. He looked like
a little gentlemen as both Katie and Heather were very impressed with
his transformation. The advice that Heather had given David had paid
off as it became clearly obvious in his change in behavior. Unlike last
time, after saying their greetings, Billy was the first to speak up in
the small group. "You look very nice today, Katie."
Katie's blush returned for a whole new reason as she shyly mumbled a
thank you to the nice young man. David echoed the sentiment as his eyes
did not leave Heather in that beautiful dress of hers. Heather blushed
as well as the two groups went towards the theatre. Heather had
specifically chosen this theatre as it was not a mainstream theatre and
would show a different selection. They would show more artistic movies
along with classics that had been out for decades. During the weekend,
they tried to attract families by showing more family appropriate faire.
As they were looking at the show times, it was Katie who spoke to the
entire group first. "Mother! Sleeping Beauty is starting soon. Can we
please see that?"
"Do we have to see a silly princess movie?" Billy still spoke of his
disgust of the situation, but his tone and words were chosen better than
the last time. Heather picked up on the change in his behavior as a
positive step. Billy was already making progress in just a short amount
of time. She also didn't want to discourage Katie who was a bit
crestfallen at Billy's comments. Katie was quickly becoming her little
princess and comments like that could destroy all the hard work that she
had put into Katie. So, Heather eased the situation by patting Katie's
shoulder with a warm and very loving smile. Since Billy was a little
know-it-all, Heather used her sweet tone along with a little mockery as
she spoke to the young lad.
"Silly princess movie? I hardly think so, young man. Sleeping Beauty
does have a princess, but it has much more than that. It also has a
terribly scary sorceress, a giant dragon that fights with our hero and a
brave hero that fights through everything to rescue our princess. It
really is quite scary and I don't know if you can handle it."
Billy gave his predictable defiant response and they were soon together
in the theatre waiting for the movie to start. Heather and David sat in
the middle with the young children sitting on either side of them.
Katie and David's little feat hung off the largely cushioned seats that
were bigger than a normal theatre and much more comfortable. Katie
giggled to herself as she recalled Billy getting all excited for the
