Chapter 2
"Auntie B, I really have to uumm uuumm tinkle now," said Chris as Jeanine
was stroking the clear coat on the other hand.
"Krissy, you're fine and your nails are wet honey," said Mrs. Baker
switching off the water. "Don't focus on that."
"No I really have to," said Chris, panicking.
"Wiggle honey," said Jeanine blowing on his fingers as he wiggled his fanned
out hands now.
"She's fine Jeanie," said Mrs. Baker giving him a look. "She's just a bit of
a drama queen at times."
"Ohhh uuuuuuuhhh," said Chris as he tried standing he felt a warm rush into
his underwear as he started wildly waving both hands letting out a small
girlie type squeal as he looked down, totally embarrassed.
"You ok honey?" Jeanine asked, puzzled as he looked down, realizing nothing
leaked to the floor.
"Yes, sorry." "I just..I just..."
"She just gets so excited easily," said Mrs. Baker interrupting. "Right
honey?"
"I just love the nail color so much."
"Me too sweets. Excuse me a moment please," said Jeanine, hearing her phone
buzzing as she answered it, getting excited. "I'm next door. Bring her right
over."
"She's here?" asked Mrs. Baker.
"Yes my little Kayla is here!" Jeanine was thrilled and running towards the
door. "I'm so excited. I'll get it Doris."
Jeanine answered the door, immediately hugging her son in law and then Kayla
stepped in from behind him.
"Hello everyone," said the man. "Thanks again Mrs. Baker for helping with
the dress. Sorry I have to leave and run, but I'm off to the airport. See
everyone soon and please behave, Kayla."
He waved to everyone as he hurried off as Chris was frozen staring at Kayla.
"Kayla, hurry over here and meet Krissy and Mrs. Baker," Jeanine gave her a
nudge. "Say thank you to her as this is the nice lady that's been making you
the perfect dress."
"Oh Kayla, you really changed a lot," said Mrs. Baker stunned, seeing her as
she came over hugging her. "She's really had a growth spurt I see."
"Yes, I hadn't seen her either, but certainly she's matured," said Jeanine a
bit surprised. "Haven't you sweetie?"
"I guess?" Kayla replied with a sour look on her face. "Can I have some of
that pie now too?"
"One minute Kayla! Now give Krissy a hug and be mindful that her nails might
still be wet," said Jeanine, bringing over Kayla by the hand.
It was annoying as Kayla came over, practically knocking Chris over as she
hugged him so tightly. He kept his fingers fanned out, happily not having to
hug back and it was so weird as she looked him over. She towered over him by
maybe three inches, and probably outweighed him by twenty or thirty pounds.
She was already a full figured girl on the very chunky side in a pastel
dress that stretched at the seams from her girth. Her hair sat in curls
behind a thick headband, and her nails matched her dress perfectly.
"She's not in my dress is she?" said Kayla with a bit of attitude. "That's
the color I asked for, and I remember we looked at those bows like that in
the catalog?"
"No dear, yours will be a little different," said Mrs. Baker. "Good thing
you're here tonight though, as I think we'll need to take a few measurements
again and make some alterations to our original plan honey."
"Ok but maybe after pie," said Kayla sitting down next to Anthony at the
table.
"How about please young lady?" said Jeanine lecturing her. "She's so
spoiled!"
"It's fine Jeanine," said Doris serving her. "But we will need to take those
measurements before you go."
"I guess so," said Jeanine, giving Doris a surprised look. "Sometimes my
daughter can be a bit clear headed as she didn't mention my little Kayla's
growth spurt."
"Don't worry Jeanine. I'll take care of it," said Mrs. Baker sighing. "I'll
just need to get busy on that tonight though."
"I understand but I feel bad," said Jeanine nodding at her friend. "Then
Doris, you have to let me take Krissy out with me and Kayla tonight. In fact
why don't you come and we'll have a girls night out with the kids. It'll be
so much fun and my treat. We won't make it a late night, so you can get back
here for your alterations."
"Oh, that'll be tough," said Mrs. Baker. "I'll need the time to work."
"You're so difficult, Doris. You never let anyone do anything for you," said
Jeanine. "Fine, then I'm taking Krissy out with us and not taking no for an
answer."
"Jeanine, no that's too much on you," said Mrs. Baker. "She's quite a
handful!"
"It's nothing, and Kayla would love a little friend," said Jeanine. "Right
girls?"
"Yes, yes!" yelled Kayla. "Please! Please grandma."
"Oh no, I couldn't leave my Auntie all alone?" said Chris looking ready to
pass out.
"Oh no she has to come out with us," said Kayla, jumping up hugging him.
"She'd be like having a little doll as a friend. She's so cute!"
"Good, then do you need anything Doris?" said Jeanine.
"Well, I'm going to need more fabric now than I thought, unless you like a
different color. I've got plenty of other pretty colors," said Mrs. Baker.
"No, I want yellow," cried Kayla. "And I want it to be prettier and fancier
than Krissy's dress too!"
"You ladies are tough," said Anthony, wiping his mouth. "You take the girls
Jeanine, and I can drive Doris to the store for fabric. Now enough of this
back and forth, as obviously she has some work to do."
"Looks like I have no choice here," said Doris, shaking her head and
reaching out her hand to Krissy. "Let auntie freshen you up and get my tape
to measure while Kayla finishes her pie. Come on."
Chris was shivering as Mrs. Baker took him into her bedroom and closed the
door.
"No Mrs. B," Cried Chris. "Please no, we pulled this off and this should be
over."
"Ssshhh, the walls are thin and you're wet aren't you?" said Mrs. Baker
pointing to her bed. "Just lie back and I'll clean you up."
"I'm sorry. I just couldn't..." Chris started to say as she placed her
finger over his lips.
"It's fine and a good thing you're in this," said Mrs. Baker as he lay down.
"Auntie will fix you up and I guess today will be a life lesson for you,
won't it. I bet you'll never vandalize again."
"No chance," said Chris as she lifted his dress and opened his wet diaper.
"Bet you won't pee on my floor again either?" Teased Mrs. Baker, cleaning
him up.
"Absolutely not," said Chris as she lifted him a touch, placing the new one
under his bottom.
"Good girl," Mrs. Baker rubbed the ointment all over his private area and
adding some powder.
He did feel a lot better now, as he heard the tabs close and she helped him
sit up. She wasted no time opening the door as he followed her out and was
sickened as Jeanine quickly took him by the hand out the door. As they
walked towards her car, he immediately held back the urge to pee again,
feeling the cool breeze under his dress and realizing he was out in public
dressed as a little girl.
It was almost dreamlike as he soon found himself in the backseat of her car
as Mrs. Baker went off with Anthony. He barely knew them or had little idea
where they were headed, except to dinner as he started out the window
alarmed at his transparent reflection in view.
Before he knew it, they headed into Applebee's and he was sitting with Kayla
being handed kids menus. He sat quietly, happy to just color and not think
about his situation until he felt an elbow across his ribs.
"She's not sharing grandma," whined Kayla. "Look, my red crayon broke and
she won't give me hers."
"All she had to do was ask," said Chris annoyed, pushing all his crayons her
way.
"Just because you're bigger than her Kayla doesn't mean you should be rude,"
said Jeanine, looking at their work. "You really color well Krissy. Maybe
you'll be an artist someday. So neat and between the lines for someone your
age. Now let's play nice girls."
Chris rolled his eyes and was happy to eat his little kids meal. He sat
without saying much but pretended not to notice each time Kayla stole some
of his fries. He was relieved when they left the restaurant, but almost
couldn't believe it when Jeanine pulled up at a park as he looked out,
seeing all the kids playing. He was used to riding his skateboard or
throwing around the ball, but what the hell could he do dressed like this he
thought as she opened the doors letting them out.
"Ok have some fun but mind your pretty dresses, girls," said Jeanine as she
walked them towards the swings, taking some wipes from her purse, cleaning
the metal seats. "You're not exactly dressed for getting dirty."
It was so humiliating holding down his dress as Jeanine instructed, while
she pushed them from behind on the swings. He got his first lesson on hop
scotch as they played harmlessly for quite a while, but luckily he didn't
have to worry about too much more activity as Kayla tired easily before they
could hit the jungle gym or slides. Finally they returned to the car as
Jeanine brought them to her place, as they sat at the table having a snack
as it was getting late.
"Can she," whispered Kayla to Jeanine. "Can she please?"
"Ok, we'll see?" said Jeanine as she took the phone into the other room.
"You two have your cookies and I'll be right back."
Finally after twenty minutes, Jeanine returned smiling.
"Well she said yes, but I had to really not take no for an answer again,"
said Jeanine. "She's a tough one your aunt, but she's so busy sewing and
seemed so tired so I was able to sway her."
"Sway her how?" asked Chris, confused.
"Oh just for you to have a sleepover," Jeanine tossed them each a nightgown.
"This is an old one of Kayla's that should fit you just fine."
"But I don't know about this, Jeanine?" Chris said as she went behind him
unbuttoning his dress. "I never really sleep out!"
"It'll be fine and I'll give you some privacy," said Jeanine, undoing the
bow at the back. "Go ahead and change. The bathroom's over there and I know
you girls are tired."
Chris was mentally exhausted as he wandered into the bathroom, defeated,
stepping out of his dress. It did feel better getting out of the shoes and
socks, but it was still pretty revolting as he looked at his diapered image
in pigtails. He pulled the frilly pink nightgown over his head, immediately
annoyed as he stared at the Ariel logo across his chest and the green
ruffled layers below his waist. He opened the door exiting as Jeanine
awaited, scooping up his clothes and hanging his dress in the closet.
She tapped a chair as he walked over, sitting down as she took the bows and
ribbons from his hair. He sat there not really knowing what to do as she
patiently brushed each side over and over while Kayla changed.
"You've got such pretty hair, Krissy," said Jeanine lifting and spraying on
a liquid. "With your length let me just try something cute for a minute, so
it won't get knotty while you sleep. I know you're getting cranky, but I'll
be quick."
He wasn't exactly sure what she was doing as she was lifting his semi-damp
hair twisting behind his forehead. He could feel it being gathered and
getting tighter as she was sectioning and combing, working her way from the
front to the back.
"I want that too," cried Kayla as she came out in her nightgown. "Don't
forget me."
"How could I?" Jeanine replied as finally she snapped a band in back and
sprayed his head in another fruity lotion one last time.
He sat, curiously reaching up his hand and feeling the weird criss crossing
on his head as she watched her brush and twist at Kayla's. He couldn't
believe how quick she could twist and spin her hair, as in a way it was
fascinating seeing not a hair out of place as she snapped in the band.
"I love these on you, girls," said Jeanine, giving them a hug. "Now off to
bed. Tomorrow's a big day for you Kayla."
Kayla happily grabbed Chris, tugging him with her to the guest bedroom. It
had been set up for her visit with big pink fluffy pillows, comforter, and
some stuffies on the bed. She was thrilled to have him sleep over, but
didn't give much space as he teetered on the edge of the bed, trying to
sleep. She barely ever shut up, babbling as he did his best tuning her out
until finally he fell asleep thankful this day was over with.
In the morning, he was startled awake as Kayla jumped on the bed, almost
flipping him to the floor as he looked up seeing her chunky body hover over
him.
"Morning pretty ladies," said Jeanine, flipping on the lights after hearing
the commotion. "Looks like you two must have had a blast last night?"
"I love sleepovers," said Kayla, sitting down panting as the pillows and
sheets were thrown everywhere on the floor. "It was so much fun."
"Come have breakfast, girls." Jeanine took them by the hand.
As they wandered into the kitchen, Chris felt so relieved just to see Mrs.
Baker sitting there having coffee. She hugged him, kissing his forehead and
rubbed her hand over his hair.
"You're so creative Jeanine," said Mrs. Baker. "This looks so pretty on
them, and so perfect even after just waking up."
"I figured it would work for this morning, and then later when I take it
down, we should have some really nice body to work with," replied Jeanine as
they ate. "Plus Kayla's hair has a tendency to frizz so I'd rather keep it
tied up while they get their nails done. It's so hot in there."
"Our nails done!" screamed Kayla excited. "Both of us! Together?!"
"Yes, I thought it would be a special treat for you girls," Jeanine grinned.
"This is so exciting, as now you'll have a playmate for the week."
"I will?" questioned Kayla, perking up.
"Yes, I wasn't going to tell you until I knew you two would get along," said
Jeanine. "But now that I see you two have bonded so well, she's going to be
here all week too, Kayla! Isn't that wonderful girls?"
"That sounds like fun?" said Mrs. Baker, coming over and putting her hands
on Chris's shoulder. "Right honey!"
"But I just got these nails done yesterday," Chris looked ready to cry as
Mrs. Baker shook him a touch to shake his head.
"No, that was just me adding a little polish," said Jeanine flicking her
wrist. "Your aunt needs more time anyway to finish up, especially now that
you're coming with us today."
"She is?" asked Kayla, happy then inquisitive. "But she won't be in that
yellow dress right? Cause I'm going to be in yellow today right?"
"No, she'll be in something totally different than yours honey, and that's
why I need more time to finish Krissy's dress," said Mrs. Baker. "You girls
go get those fingers looking all pretty, because I'll need every minute to
finish Krissy's dress as this was pretty unexpected."
"Yes, girls I insisted Doris let her go last night and she's a stubborn old
goat, but I finally convinced her. She had me practically begging," said
Jeanine with a chuckle. "Now we really do need to get moving girls."
"Come back honey, let auntie help change you before you go out," said Mrs.
Baker, taking Chris by the hand. "I've got something more casual to wear
out."
"Great, I'll pick her up in five minutes at your place," said Jeanine,
looking at her watch as they headed outside.
"I'm about to puke, Mrs. B," said Chris as they went next door to her place.
"I can't keep this up another day and she wants a playmate for the week!"
"You're fine and of course you can, but you know the consequences if you
don't," said Mrs. Baker, pulling the nightgown over his head once the door
closed behind them. "Now don't give me a hard time as I'm exhausted. Please
let's just get through today and I'll figure out the rest as we go."
"The rest?" cried Chris. "Not like the rest of the week! No freaking way
Mrs. B! I'll play along again for now, but you have to get me out of it."
"Again, you brought all this on yourself dear," replied Mrs. Baker. "I just
helped you, and let's get through today."
"I didn't ask for that," whined Chris. "This all sucks big time."
"You didn't, but you caused this mess didn't you? Now lay down, as I'm in no
mood and need sleep badly," said Mrs. Baker, getting pissed and tossing a
diaper on the bed. "It's not like you've got a wardrobe, so I've been up all
night sewing you this outfit and then making your dress. I'm way too old for
all this rushing around, and luckily Payless opens early and they have cheap
neutrals that we can get, matching most outfits."
"I'm sorry," Chris answered, knowing the drill as she cleaned and powdered
his bottom changing him.
"I would hope so by now, and I'm sorry to say but this is a good life lesson
for you," Mrs. Baker lifted his legs sliding on some soft cotton pants.
"I think I learned my lesson after yesterday." Chris looked at Mrs. Baker as
she sat him up, quickly pushing his head through a top.
"Maybe so, but this is also keeping you under control while I'm busy
working," said Mrs. Baker, sliding some shoes over his feet. "And certainly
out of trouble I would hope?"
"Who could get in trouble looking like this?" said Chris, almost horrified
as he stood up looking at his reflection.
"My point exactly, young lady!" teased Mrs. Baker, wiping his face with a
moist towel.
He stood feeling only better that he wasn't in a dress, but there was no
mistaking he was about to spend the day as little Krissy, and unfortunately
for him Mrs. Baker certainly made sure he looked the part.
She certainly was an incredible seamstress, as he was now in a two piece
cotton legging set. On his legs were Capri length stretch cotton purple
leggings and on top he was in a matching tank. The top was long flowing,
half way to his thigh and it ended in three layers of tiered lavender
ruffles with silver accents on the edges. Across the top she had ironed on a
glittered silver butterfly decal, and in his ears she now placed simple
little silver hearts. On his feet were simple white sandals decorated with a
few small white rosettes across the ankle straps which felt so peculiar with
the front strap between his first two toes.
"Please Mrs. B. at least take the knot out of my hair." Chris scratched an
itch near his crown. "Yesterday it was really uncomfortable but I felt like
everyone stared at my bright dress. I hate them looking right at my face.
They'll know I'm a boy, so can I at least get this out now."
"I'll take that as some form of backhanded compliment about how pretty your
dress looked, but who knew you missed your pigtails," joked Mrs. Baker
before she cupped his chin, adding just slightest blush and mascara. "But
just give me a second and I'll pretty up that face of yours."
"Mrs. B that's not what I meant," whined Chris as she added just a hint of
lilac eye shadow.
"I know Krissy." Mrs. Baker added a little lip balm. "But this is no knot,
as you look adorable in a French braid especially since she beautifully
weaved it from the front all the way to the back. She's so talented because
all I could have done is braided a pony in the back or given you pigtails
again. This is gorgeous work. Here, let me just dress it up and you'll feel
better, because there's no time for much else and I wouldn't want to insult
Jeanine that you didn't like her hairdo on you."
"Like I'm worried about that?" Chris rolled his eyes as she twisted some
wire under a big purple flower and then attached it to a metallic headband.
She then slid it over the crown of his head and sliced some silver and
purple ribbon. He watched as she quickly wound them together, forming an
intricate bow and took the end of his braid adding it to the tail.
"I'm pretty sure no one was mistaking you for a boy before, but I think this
should make you feel even better now. I put your phone in this little purse
for you so text me if you have any problems." Mrs. Baker smiled as she
placed the strap of a small silver shoulder bag. "As exhausted as I am, I'm
glad you asked for those last few little touches. They're adorable on you!
Now let's get you to Jeanine, because honestly these yellow nails have to
go. They really don't match at all now!"
"Oh this sucks wind." Chris stared at his nails, holding the strap before
she took his other hand.
It was annoying seeing the glimmer from his shiny headband but he kind of
understood what she meant, as the extra touches did certainly embellish his
girliness. Where yesterday his scalp was on display from his normal middle
part, now sat the weaved portion of a top crowned French braid, which was
knotted beginning at the middle of his forehead and streamed straight down
the back of his head. Not a hair on his head was not entwined into it,
although it's streaming view was now broken by the metallic headband at the
middle of his head. On the left side of the headband just above his ear, now
sat a large matching solid purple sunflower and at the end of his braid the
gorgeous ribboned bow.
"Oh, I hate you Doris," said Jeanine as they entered. "She always looks so
adorable."
"I know but of course I didn't forget Kayla," said Mrs. Baker, taking a
series of ribbons from her pocket and tying a bow on Kayla. "I didn't know
what she'd be in, but white always matches. Now you girls have fun because I
need to get back to my sewing machine."
Jeanine hugged her now as she took them to her car. He sat listening to
Kayla babble non-stop as it was almost a relief as they pulled up in the
shopping plaza. He felt that horrible urge in his bladder as he squeezed his
legs together, tightly holding it in the moment she led them through the
glass door of the crowded nails salon. He knew it was all his nerves, as the
strong fumes teased his nasal cavities as he was seated next Jeanine in the
lobby as Kayla went in first. He sat anxiously until finally after a while
they came for him, as he was now seated next to Kayla as his nail tech began
working on him. It didn't take them long to remove his polish and then they
shaped and buffed. Before he knew it, he was watching his fingers being
coated in a bubble gum pink and his first hand was under the dryer. He
glanced over at Kayla while they were coating the second, and from time to
time they made eye contact while they were clear coating her nails.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" said Kayla with an attitude. "You're
staring at the yellow, aren't you?"
"Umm no," said Chris wondering why she got pissy.
"Yes, you are," said Kayla annoyed. "You've done it like three times. What?
You don't like it?"
"No, no it's fine," said Chris, not knowing how to deal with her.
"Of course it's fine, as you had it on yesterday when you stole my dress,"
said Kayla, lifting her fingers showing off her nails to him. "But it
definitely looks better on me than it did on you don't cha think, and
according to my grandmother I'm getting more of a big girl's dress now
anyway!"
"Kayla, please," sighed Chris as she took her other hand from under the
dryer reaching over. "I didn't pick or steal anything. My aunt dressed me
and your grandmother did my nails. I didn't ask for any of that?"
"Really?" said Kayla, taking out her phone and flipping it towards him.
"Doesn't this look like it? And how about this one of you in it? Not exactly
the same, but very similar isn't it?"
"I guess?" said Chris looking at the shots. "Wait, when did you take that of
me?"
"Ah yesterday?" said Kayla annoyed, showing him shot after shot. "Remember
we posed together and then I just snapped a lot of stuff while we were out.
Didn't you see my phone out?"
"Yeah, I guess but I didn't realize you were taking shot after shot of me
and you?" replied Chris surprised.
"Ok, I'm 8?" said Kayla with attitude, snapping a few more shots of him. "I
instragram everything? Don't you?"
"Not this stupid stuff?" said Chris irritated.
"You know you think you're special with this fancy little headband," said
Kayla, delicately lifting his headband and dropping it to the floor.
"Ooopps."
"Kayla," scolded Jeanine from across the room. "That's not called for. Pick
that up."
"Sorry my nails are too wet grandma, and I can't keep the toe lady waiting."
Kayla headed over to the pedicure area with her fingers fanned out.
"They weren't too wet to use your phone," said Chris, getting pissed.
"I use my prints not my nails, Krissy," teased Kayla walking away. "Guess
you should use a few bobbies next time and it won't slide off."
"Don't, honey." Jeanine came over preventing Chris from picking it up.
"Don't ruin your nails, and I'm sorry as she can be a little nasty
sometimes. You just relax and enjoy dear. I'll deal with her nonsense and
rudeness!"
Chris could care less, trying to avoid the issue as finally he was on his
way to have his toes done. She basically ignored him as he sat next to her,
feeling the cotton between his toes.
Finally when she was done, she got up and came over as he sat there giving
him a hug.
"I'm sorry, Krissy," said Kayla, texting on her phone. "I guess I just get
stupid sometimes. What's your number so I can text you a few cute pics of
us. Look at my new BFF?"
She spun her phone now, scrolling some through some pictures of them
together that she animated with hearts and BFF logos.
"Umm, well," said Chris reluctantly as she gave him a weird look as he
hesitated. "Ok its...333-......"
"Cool, they're on the way but promise me we'll at least have different hair
later," said Kayla, pulling at her ribbon. "I've so had it with this braid."
"Kayla, enough," scolded her grandmother, coming back over and stoppng her.
"Please just give it a rest and we'll fix all that later."
"Fine," spouted Kayla. "But I'm not settling for any crappy hairdo later
grandma. If my dress is going to be fancier than Krissy's was yesterday,
than I need something better than this stupid braid."
"Of course you do honey," said her grandmother, lifting her chin looking at
her. "I'd never let my two favorite princesses out looking anything less
than fabulous would I?"
"Ok, then we feel much better now, right Krissy?" said Kayla with a big
grin.
"Oh yeah," said Chris rolling his eyes. "Much?"
It was only about ten minutes more until finally their nails were finished
as Janine took each of them by the hand and headed out of the nail salon. It
was actually nice to get a bit of fresh air away from the pungent smells as
they headed down the side walk of the outdoor shopping plaza, and then Chris
looked up seeing the large window filled with plush toys.
"Go in girls!" said Jeanine. "Come on. It'll be my little treat."
"I love this place!" screamed Kayla as she tugged Chris right inside as the
door swung open.
Kayla couldn't have been more excited as Chris soon found himself inside,
picking from a series of soft bears and then adding the stuffing. He shook
his head, remembering back when he did it many years earlier, dressing his
bears in football gear except now he was picking from frilly outfits,
accessories and shiny shoes. It was ever so strange dressing his bear like
some little princess and then even stranger when they finished, realizing he
and Kayla were being seated to have lunch with their new stuffy friends.
"Happy now honey," asked Jeanine, patting Kayla.
"Almost grandma," said Kayla, pulling out her bow and pointing at the one
she put on her bear. "Please? I've had enough of this and I want to match my
stuffies. You bought us the accessories packages, right?"
"Fine you two little pests, and of course I did. I got both of you the
matching accessory sets," said Jeanine with a giggle, spinning around Kayla
as she undid her braid. "I wanted the braids in while you got your nails
done, but now that you're done I guess I can ease up on you a bit, and you
both would look adorable matching your furry friends."
It really didn't take more than a minute as she undid Kayla's braid and
quickly picked at her hair with her fingers. Chris wasn't sure what all the
fuss was about, but instantly noticed how full and wavy the braid had made
Kayla's hair, as it was now fanned out on her back. Her grandmother then
opened the bag she had bought and removed a plastic coated bundle with all
sorts of accessories laid out on a cardboard packaging, as Chris didn't
realize she had bought all this. She then ripped open the plastic wrapper
for Kayla's bear and within seconds placed a small necklace over her head
and proceeded to change her earrings. He looked over, realizing the earrings
were the same little ivory pearl types that she had put on her bear and
watched as Jeanine untwisted a large headband from the cardboard packaging
and then took a brush from her bag. She got a bit in his line of sight for a
moment as she brushed Kayla's hair away from her face before dropping on an
oversized thick glittery headband with a matching attached bow on Kayla,
which perfectly matched the bow on her bear.
He gulped knowing what was inevitable, as a series of bracelets and two
rings were placed on Kayla before she proceeded to turn her attention to him
as she undid his braid. It was nauseating enough as she quickly finger
brushed his hair at the back of his head and once she pulled off his
headband, he could see it looking fuller out of the corner of his eyes. He
glanced down at his bear, taking better notice of the things he had placed
on it, never realizing what he had picked mattered at all as he had just
rushed selecting things, with no thought just trying to getting it over
with.
He stared at the back of the cardboard package, seeing the backs of posts,
silver clips and wire ties as he watched her pull off a few items.
She started changing his earrings instead of his hair and then dropped a
necklace on him as he could do little but sit there feeling anxious. It all
happened so quickly, as in the blink of an eye she lifted his right hand and
suddenly a bracelet clasp closed around his wrist, followed by the first
ever ring he had on his middle left finger. He was almost used to having his
hair brushed by her now as she quickly brushed it away from his face, but
never before had he felt something snap at each temple as the little pop
startled him.
"Sorry to startle you Krissy, but these are adorable on you dear," said
Jeanine, brushing from ear to ear before he felt an even louder snap just
behind the top of the back of his head. "I'll be right back with cupcakes
for you two."
He tried not to think about how annoying all this was as he sat and the
finished their pizza. It was ridiculous as he played along with Kayla,
talking to their stuffed friends and sipping their drinks. When they
finished their cupcakes, he thought it was a relief leaving the store, but
it was only short-lived as he carried his bear from store to store shopping
with the girls.
"Oh this is too weird," Chris mouthed to himself, feeling the back of his
head.
He caught a quick profile view at himself in the store's window, gently
shaking his head, sickened as he watched the soft thick waves shimmy across
his back and noticed something in glittery pink. He was used to his hair
being loose, but it was usually stringy and greasy, as never before did it
have any bounce or body as his momentary stare was quickly broken by Kayla,
as she grabbed his hand yanking him into the store.
Most of it wasn't that bad, as it just browsing at all kinds of outfits and
shoes that they didn't buy, but where it really got annoying when they
entered Claire's as he almost gagged, seeing his full reflection as Kayla
was filling a small shopping basket with tons of costume jewelry. He stood
there ready to vomit, seeing the sparkle from the tiniest pink gemstone
which centered the small silver teddy bear earrings which were now in each
lobe and the dainty matching necklace that sat on his chest.
At each temple now sat a silver barrette with the same pink gemstones
tightly held the front of his hair, framing a simple middle part and then
from the crown backward there was no part visible, as it was pulled back
tightly. He twisted slightly, getting a better look now at the sparkly pink
silk bow attached to a hidden clip which held his hair back off, securely
separating the flat section of his hair from the voluminous waves which
flowed down behind his ears.
"I like these earrings too," said Kayla, breaking his gaze and holding
necklace against him. "I'm sure if I ask my grandmother, she will buy me
those too."
"I'm sure," said Chris, rolling his eyes as he soon found himself quickly
accessorized in a series of sparkly bracelets, a few more rings, a kids
watch, and a silver necklace with a rhinestone "K" now hanging around his
neck below his teddy bear.
He wasn't even sure what else she had bought, but she had accumulated a
number of small bags and then back they went into stores they had previously
been in, as Kayla fought with her grandmother constantly as they couldn't
agree on much, and she only bought a few more things.
"You're just too difficult, Kayla," said her grandmother as they got in the
car. "You've got to be a little more flexible on your choices or we'll never
get anything."
"No, I'm not grandma," said Kayla, folding her arms buckled in as they drove
off. "I hate a lot of that stuff and I'm not wearing it. You'll just have to
make Mrs. Baker make me more stuff."
"She can't make everything, and most of what she makes is very dressy," said
Jeanine. "It's not for every day wear honey."
"Why not? Krissy's all dressed up, so I want that too," said Kayla, annoyed.
"Even her casual outfits are dressy and I want that too!"
"Well you'll be dressed up all pretty tonight, so let's just take one day at
a time ok?" Jeanine explained. "I expect you'll both look beautiful later,
and it's not a contest. I expect best friends to always support each other
ok girls?"
"Yes grandma," said Kayla, looking over and taking Chris's hand as he nodded
giving a little fake grin. "We will."
Finally they arrived back at Jeanine's place, as they sat down watching some
television. He preferred watching different shows, but it was just a relief
to sit there without being out and about, as Kayla sat their bears next to
each other like they were watching along. He was dying to kick off these
annoying shoes and lounge out, but he tried not to look down at his outfit
or painted toes.
After about an hour of annoying Disney sitcoms, he was actually happy as
Kayla got called into the bedroom and was gone for a good half hour or more.
Finally the doorbell rang as Kayla sprinted out from the bedroom dressed now
in a salmon bathrobe with a head full of plastic green curlers, answering
the door.
"Well hello Kayla," said Mrs. Baker, coming in carrying in two enormous
garment bags. "So it seems like you girls had a nice day I hear."
"Yes, it was amazing," said Kayla, excited as she hug them on a door frame
well elevated off the ground. "So can I see it? Is it time. I'm dying to try
it on."
"Patience, sweetie," said Jeanine coming in and hugging Mrs. Baker. "She's
so damn excited."
"I am grandma!" said Kayla, practically jumping. "I can't wait to be all
dressed up, and it's going to be so much fun with my best friend coming too.
So is it time! Can I put it on now!"
"It's still too early, and I haven't even finished your hair yet," said
Jeanine looking at her watch. "Go sit under my bonnet dryer another half
hour or so, when you're finished I should be almost done with Krissy."
"Girls need time to get ready honey, and its best not to rush so you can
look your best," said Mrs. Baker, patting her shoulder and then walking over
towards Chris. "Here you take a peek while I check on that new best friend
of yours."
"Hi," said Chris, rolling his eyes up for a moment as she came over.
"Well, don't you look just adorable with your little twin on the couch,"
said Mrs. Baker, trying to hold her giggle. "Oh Jeanine, you were so right
how pretty her hair turned out once you took out the braid! Plus I love the
barrettes, the bow, the earrings! She's so darling!"
"Isn't she?" said Jeanine, coming over and giving him a hug from behind.
"And if her dress came out half as good as what we discussed, then these two
should steal the show tonight. They're both so beautiful. So give me a sneak
peek, so I can see if it works with the hair I've got in mind!"
"Sure," said Mrs. Baker, as they unzipped the bags, peeking inside them
without the kids seeing.
"Oh my Doris. They're beautiful," said Jeanine, getting teary eyed and
taking a moment catching her breath. "Ok, I've got my work cut out for me,
but she's so pretty it'll be easy. Come sit at the table and you can watch
tv from here Krissy."
Chris gave Mrs. Baker a pissed off look as he got up and walked to the
table, sitting down feeling pretty nervous as he watched Jeanine drape a
cloth over his body. He wasn't sure exactly what she was doing as he watched
her open a container filled with clips and pins, placing it on the table
next to them before taking a wide toothed brush into her right hand. She
unsnapped the barrettes and the big bow, placing them on the table as she
could feel him tremble a little.
"Don't be nervous! Smile sweetie," said Jeanine, lifting his chin as she now
began brushing through his hair with a wide tooth brush now. "I promise
you'll be beautiful when I'm done. Trust me, I'm good at things like this.
Remember I've got daughters and granddaughters, and you'll look adorable
today ok?"
"Remember I'm the big girl, grandma," said Kayla, interrupting by running
over with some attitude. "She's younger."
"And that's why you've got more of a big girl dress, Kayla," said Mrs. Baker
patting Kayla's back. "Your grandmother and I discussed it all day yesterday
and today. You'll see when we're done, and I know your grandmother wants
both of you to look appropriate and looking your best."
"Exactly! Please go sit under my dryer like I asked Kayla," said Jeanine,
really raking through Chris's hair now as he flinched with each stroke and
sprayed it, dampening it ever so slightly while Kayla finally listened,
pulling the bonnet over her head . "Krissy really needs a good hair cut,
Doris."
"I know, but that's for another day," said Mrs. Baker.
"Please I like my hair," whined Chris. "It's..."
"Ok, ok .. sorry honey," said Jeanine, brushing it from temple to temple
into her palm. "You've got really pretty hair and we're just making it even
prettier. I'm not cutting anything!"
"This sucks so much," whispered Chris, annoyed as he looked up seeing her
twist a small clear band from her wrist.
Not much more was said now as he felt her twisting his hair atop his head,
before suddenly it got pretty tight as she wound in the band. She then took
a few white jaw clips in her left hand and brushed behind his head, before
he lost sight of it but he felt her clamp them in. He wasn't exactly sure
what she was planning for his hair as she now stretched a long thin section
from the outermost left nape of his neck, quickly combing through it 3 times
and then she held it out very taught.
"That should be about the right amount," said Jeanine, pinching a small
silver clamp down on it as it flopped down.
"For what?" asked Chris nervously, seeing it out of the corner of his eyes
before it bounced off his cheek and he began standing. "Please no! You just
said you weren't cutting, and that's way too short."
"Relax Krissy," said Mrs. Baker, pushing at his shoulder so he wouldn't get
up as he watched Jeanine place an odd looking glove over her left hand.
"She's not cutting it at all, and definitely not where the clip is silly.
Sorry she's not used to all the fuss."
"I realized that while we were out today. Now no worries Krissy, and do you
really think I take someone as pretty as you and put you in an amazing dress
your Aunt has made for you, but then give you some little horrible boy cut,"
Jeanine said as she took a large gold aerosol can from the counter, shaking
it. "Now just try to be patient with me honey, as it takes time if we keep
them small and tight and I promise you'll love how they turn out. I think
they're just tacky enough now to really hold perfectly."
She again extended the small selected section with her gloved hand and
pulled out the little silver clip with her right hand. It was but a mere
moment until he watched her coat it, spraying only the extended section, and
the moment she put down the spray can, his eyes widened watching her wind
the section around a thin black barrel, twisting. He could see her using her
gloved hand to ensure the very end of his hair was no longer sticking out,
and instead adhering to the wand as quickly it was out of his line of sight.
He could feel the tugging at his nape when it really got tight, as he sensed
her twisting her wrist holding the wand in a north and south position behind
his shoulder as he gulped sensing heat until she released her gloved
fingers.
"That's a nice size, Jeanine," said Mrs. Baker as Chris looked down, seeing
her ever so softly place a corkscrewed tendril on the front of his left
collar bone.
"It is, right?" said Jeanine, quickly stretching it and testing that it
quickly recoiled.
"But that looks like a lot of work!" said Mrs. Baker. "I hate to see you put
yourself through all that."
"Oh please Doris," Jeanine combed the next section. "I'm trying for the look
we spoke about, and it'll be nothing compared to what you must have put in
making these dresses. I don't mind the extra time, because I think it'll be
just perfect on her. Plus hopefully it'll keep Kayla quiet for a bit."
"Oh I'm sure it'll just be darling with her dress," said Mrs. Baker, nodding
and flicking her wrist. "Plus, I guarantee that'll be different than
anything she's ever had before."
"Perfect?" said Jeanine, quickly spraying the next section and giving a
little loving pinch on Chris's cheek before he watched the curling iron spin
from sight. "I'm positive it'll be worth the extra time, and I'm definitely
making sure these two girls are the prettiest two there tonight! In fact I
guarantee it! Right, my darlings!"
"Right grandma!" said Kayla, giving thumbs up as she sat reading a magazine
under the dryer, listening in as Doris went into the kitchen.
It wasn't long now before she was working completely behind his head as
slowly but surely he could see the little ringlets pile up on his shoulder.
"Keep your head straight Krissy, and chin straight," Jeanine used both her
hands at his cheeks. "Just watch tv please and stop moving, because I don't
want to burn you because you're fidgeting. I'm sure you can sense the heat."
She took her finger tips, softly sweeping any hair she had done on to his
back to ensure he'd sit properly as she worked on the back of his head for
the next thirty minutes. It was quite annoying that it took so long, but he
sat patiently until finally all the white clips had been removed. She was
back out in front of him now, undoing the band atop his head and then
combing through the entire top section time after time until she wound it
back in. It was much tighter this time, as she pulled it in different
directions before she put her glove back on and again lifted her curling
iron. It was another good ten minutes of twisting and re-twisting atop his
crown, until finally she stepped back with a big smile on her face.
"Ok Doris," said Jeanine, calling into the kitchen. "She's just about ready
for you to dress her, and I'll get our other little princess ready."
"Wooow," said Mrs. Baker, coming back in as Jeanine was circling and picking
at his hair spraying. "What incredible work!"
"They look so perfect on her, right?" mumbled Jeanine with a few pins in her
mouth, opening a large plastic bag from the table. "Just one more second to
clip this in so it sits perfectly and you can dress her."
Chris now felt a scrape across his scalp moving from left to right at the
crown of his head, followed by another one in the opposite direction before
hearing a distinct snap. It was a different sensation than that of the
barrettes popping against his temples, as he really didn't feel much until
she stepped back and he could feel just a little weight tugging against his
hair.
"And don't panic, sweetie," said Jeanine, taking a scissor from a drawer and
opening it all the way as she approached him. "It's just to fix the ribbon,
and I'm not cutting your hair so don't get nervous."
It was strange as he looked out of the corner of his eye to the left and
could see the edge of a white ribbon, as almost instantly a shaving type
sound filled his ears as she scraped the blade down the ribbon and it zipped
into place. In an instant there was no more ribbon to be seen in his line of
sight, as she repeated this a few more times on each side until she stepped
back pulling off his cape.
"Ok, all yours Doris," said Jeanine , walking over switching off the dryer
on Kayla. "You can use my bedroom to dress her while I finish Kayla's hair
and dress her out here."
Doris took a visibly exhausted Chris by the hand and grabbed the hanging
garment bag before she led him into the bedroom.
"Please tell me it's not that bad," Chris pleaded, reaching up to touch it
the moment she closed the door.
"Don't you dare ruin all her hard work," said Mrs. Baker, snacking his wrist
away. "Now turn around and let me guide you carefully out of this.
Quickly she spun him around and unbuttoned the back of his top, guiding it
off without knocking a hair out of place. She then knelt down, removing his
shoes and pulling off his pants as he stood there feeling beyond sick to his
stomach.
"Can't you say I don't feel good?" asked Chris as she slid her changing pad
on the bed. "Please, it wouldn't be a lie and I promise I'll never cause you
any trouble ever again."
"I think we both know I can't do that after all Jeanine's and my efforts
right?" said Mrs. Baker, holding out her hand. "You lie back with your head
hanging off the edge of the bed so you hair doesn't touch please. Plus we
both know this is the best way to keep you out of any chance at trouble."
"Please Mrs. Baker!" said Chris, shaking a bit as she helped him lie back in
the right spot. "Look I'm dry. I've been holding it all day. At least let me
out of this."
"Oh dear," said Mrs. Baker surprised. "While I am impressed, that won't work
and it's not even healthy for you. You'll never be able to go to the
bathroom without help in tonight's outfit. Go ahead and I'll clean you up
dear."
"No, enough's enough," Cried Chris, starting to sit up. "I'm so done with
all this."
"No you're not but if you keep up this crap you will be," said Mrs. Baker,
pushing him back down and dipping his finger in a glass of water as she held
him down. "Now does that help you?"
"Please, please! Oh crap," started Chris as he really couldn't hold it much
more and he quickly caved in, empting himself into the diaper and stopped
pushing back.
"It?s ok dear but please ease up. I may be strong but I?m still an old woman
you know and exhausted from all the sewing." Mrs. Baker leaned down, kissing
his cheek. "I know it wasn?t supposed to be this way, but it?s the best for
both of us dear. I can?t have you be in any trouble and burden that
wonderful mother of yours."
"Fine!" moaned Chris before he gasped a few times, now feeling disgusted at
what he had just done.
"Wow, you really weren?t kidding, Krissy," said Mrs. Baker, lifting her brow
and holding her breath for a moment him as she opened the tabs finding more
than she expected.
She quickly lifted him just a touch, pulling out the soaked and stained
diaper making sure nothing rolled or leaked out. It was so chastening,
realizing what had just transpired but Mrs. Baker really didn?t make much of
it as she carefully wiped and cleaned him. He glanced up, watching her
taking his stinky diaper dropping it into a zip lock bag and then placing a
clean one under him. He knew the creamy sensation was coming next as she
coated his private area and then powdered him before thankfully she closed
it up.
He was about to sit up when he quickly experienced a new odd sensation,
enclosing his left foot as he looked down seeing her stretch it to the right
foot and then he could only watch as she lifted his bottom a touch as
quickly the waist band snapped across his belly button.
"Stand up and let?s get you ready to be dressed," said Mrs. Baker helping
him to his feet. "These seem to fit pretty nicely."
"This feels too weird Mrs. B, and pretty tight," said Chris as she now knelt
in front of him, straightening and stretching before pulling the waistband
even higher. "I guess these wouldn?t be so easy to get off to pee."
"See, now you're understanding and that?s only just one layer. Lift for me
honey," said Mrs. Baker, holding out what looked like a big panty.
"Oh this sucks," whined Chris as he stepped in and she pulled it up.
"Relax it?s just part of giving you the fullness you?ll need," said Mrs.
Baker. "Now hands up and again let me guide it as I need to."
From behind he was quickly blinded by the soft fabric as it slid down his
face and then she dropped it into place. At each shoulder, she shorted the
little adjustable straps, pulling it a few inches higher and then she
gingerly zipped up the back. He looked down, seeing nothing but a sea of
ruffles with a confused look on his face as she lifted his left foot placing
on a shoe but he looked down and couldn?t even see his feet.
"What kind of weird dress is this?" asked Chris, dishevelled, as he felt the
shoe tighten across his ankle and then the other go on. "It?s like a t-shirt
dress with all these messy ruffle type things on the bottom."
"Your innocence really is so adorable, honey. Just so you understand that?s
part of your undergarments," said Mrs. Baker, stepping back and looking at
how it all sat on him. "But let?s get you dressed now as I haven?t made
anything like this in a while, so I?m kind of excited to see how it looks on
you."
Chris?s looked over as she unzipped the garment bag, seeing her reach inside
undoing buttons. All he could really focus on was the pink color, as he
could just get a glimpse of it inside the bag as he hated the thought of
spending more time out in another dress.
"Turn around and put your hands up, Chris," demanded Mrs. Baker as he
gulped, turning towards the wall. "I?ll need to guide you in ever so
carefully, and of course be mindful of your undergarments and hairdo."
She moved his arms now as he looked straight ahead, feeling itchy as the
bottom of the dress grazed across his arms as she slowly lowered it. It took
only fractions of seconds as a big poof of pink blocked his vision, as she
carefully positioned the dress over his wrists and guided it away from his
head as it moved down his body. When his vision cleared, he looked down
feeling a knot tighten in his stomach as his arms emerged from the short
sleeves and he lowered them. He could no longer see the springy white
ruffles, which were now consumed by the skirt, but he quickly understood
what they were for, as the dress took shape as Mrs. Baker went behind him.
With some firmness, she spun him ninety degrees, facing away from her as
tugged at the ruffles beneath the dress and then adjusted anything that was
slightly twisted. He closed his eyes for a moment, hoping when they opened
that this nightmare would be gone as he felt a little push between his
shoulder blades, as each button entered its hole. It seemed so much tighter
than what he was in previously, as there was so much tension as she fully
enclosed his back.
"One more second and I?ll turn you," said Mrs. Baker, pulling at the
waistline, jerking him just a bit and then letting go before stepping back.
"I?ve been dying to see how this would look all day. Now let?s get a good
look at you."
"Seriously?" said Chris, looking down and almost panicking. "It?s so pink
and? and.. it?s huge ? and .. and."
"And you look adorable!" said Mrs. Baker, with a glimmer in her eye and
choking up. "Oh how I miss making things like this, and what fond memories
things like this brings back. I know you hate all this, but after all the
hardships you?ve brought on us, at least I?ve found a little joy and relief
seeing my hard work."
"Oooooohhhh my"!" sighed Jeanine, coming in, covering her mouth and holding
her chest and getting emotional. "You?ve outdone yourself Doris! I can?t
believe how cute she is. These dresses are amazing. Kayla looks incredible!
And Krissy ?. She?s just precious."
"She is, right?" said Mrs. Baker, feeling so proud of her work.
"Eeeewww pink?" said Kayla, coming in and getting excited. "That so pretty,
and I?m happy to have my yellow back. Is it time grandma? Come on, let?s get
my little cousin and let?s go."
"We?ll be right there, Jeanine," said Doris. "Just let me get her bag
ready."
"Sure," said Jeanine, taking Kayla?s hand as they left the room.
"Little cousin?" chirped Chris, getting angry. "She?s not saying---."
"It?s no big deal Krissy, so just shush and be a good girl for me please?"
Mrs. Baker bent down, looking him in the eye. "I know you?ll hate this, but
that was part of the intention of the dresses? designs, so Kayla could look
more like the big girl tonight. So like it or not, you?ll be her little
cousin tonight. In fact you?ve made a much cuter girl than either of us ever
could have imagined, and in this dress you look even more precious than I
could have hoped for. If you don?t believe me than see for yourself."
Chris could hardly contain his anger now as Mrs. Baker opened the closet
door, pulling it all the way back until Chris faced himself in the full
length mirror. Instantly he felt his blood boiling, believing what he
assumed to be bad now seemed even worse, as a large coat hung from the top,
partially blocking his view as he started at his dress and feet reflecting
back.
Bad enough were his previous outfits, but now he stared at his body, seeing
only the reflection of a little princess in pink, struggling to accept this
could be him underneath it all. With his finger tip, he ever so slightly
lifted the delicate pale pink sparkly tulle layer which sat upon his cotton
candy pink dress, feeling its softness and noticing how it matched his pink
nails. The tantalizing organza dress was tea length, hemming well past the
knees and its skirt flared out in a series of voluminous layers, each with a
touch of matching pink lace at their edges, forming a perfect wide bell
shape.
Above the skirt, a thick silk pink sash neatly creased horizontally, forming
a pinched waistband decorated with small rosettes and ribbon accents. Above
it, the form fitted pink bodice glistened from the intricate embroidery, and
tiny accent jewels drawing on his thin frame. Its high rounded neckline was
highlighted with a flat pink lace rounded collar, and underscored with two
rosettes forming a small delicate pink bow at the center. At his shoulders,
poufy capped sleeves rose up about an inch adjacent to the lace, only to
have the hem of each short sleeve decorated with the same rosette & ribbon
accents from the sash, half covering the slightest of hint of the thin
biceps he possessed.
There was certainly no sight of the ruffled bouffant slip underneath, until
he lifted the skirt?s gentle layers, understanding why it was there to form
and hold his new shape. When he finally lifted the last ruffles of the slip,
he got his first real look at his pampered bottom, amazed at the size of the
white ruffled panty that concealed it and the top of his tights adding to
the skirts mass and width. He had no clue how he would sit in it, flexing
his calf in his ivory tights and twisting his feet, which were in pink ankle
strap Mary Jane flats with pink lace, little bows and matching rosettes
decorating each shoe.
He placed both hands on his hips, frustrated as he took one step closer to
the mirror, realizing the skirt swung like a big bell when he walked, yet
was fairly constrictive from the waist up as he stretched. He twisted his
arm behind his back, realizing there was no way he could undo all the
buttons even if he wanted to, and then he pulled on the ends of the huge bow
at the back of his dress, realizing it was an extension of the sewn in sash.
"I know that feels a bit tighter than your other dress, and the bow is not
for you to touch. It?s decorative, attached, and I won?t be there to re-
attach it," said Mrs. Baker, observing before quickly retying the large bow
at the back of his dress. "Understand that yesterday I had an hour to
retrofit you, but this dress is custom made to fit you perfectly. You?ll
need to move more gingerly now, like any normal little girl would and it?ll
be just fine. Go ahead and turn and go back and forth a few times."
"But I?m not a little girl," said Chris angrily. "First the yellow thing!
Then being a friend for her to play with was bad enough, and now look what
you dressed me in."
"That?s enough! I?ve slaved all night on this, and whether you like it or
not you make a perfect little girl, Krissy!" said Mrs. Baker, lecturing him
before pausing and removing the coat that blocked the top of the mirror.
"I?m sorry. I didn?t realize it blocked some of your view, and obviously you
can?t argue my point now can you? ? My darling little princess?"
He watched himself turning beat red as he stared at his full reflection, now
feeling his blood boiling at being called a little princess. It was hard to
argue though, dressed as he was, growing even more shaken at the size of the
pink bow on his head. He now understood why it felt so odd, as all of his
hair from ear to ear had been pulled straight back tightly and upward, now
arranged in a high top pony at the crown, which the big bow decoratively
fronted. Behind it, the entire back of his head was done in layer after
layer of small, tight, perfectly formed ribbon curls which wiggled with his
every movement, giving him an almost doll like curly style. Fronting the top
pony was an enormous glitter covered satin pink, multi-layered bow,
stretching from temple to temple, and had a rosette and rhinestone center.
From behind it, a series of white and pink curled ribbons burst just above
each ear and behind the bow?s center, like an unwrapped birthday gift. Atop
the bow, his top pony exploded fountain style with his hair tumbling in
every direction in sectioned, flowing, matching ribbon curls topping off his
unmistakable curly-q look.
"But I?m not a princess, Mrs. B," said Chris tearing up. "You know that."
"None of us are most of the time dear, but that doesn?t mean you can?t enjoy
being one for tonight," said Mrs. Baker, taking a tissue to his eyes and
then a wand from her purse, coating his lashes. "No worries. It?s water
proof. Now calm down, because it?s time to go and unless you want bigger
issues for all of us, then you?ll just embrace this. Now just relax and
enjoy it."
She gave him really no options now as she grabbed his chin with her left
hand and quickly rubbed on some blush. She then took a small eye shadow kit,
adding just a shimmer of pink to his lids and then a pale pink brush slid
across his lips. She tossed the few makeup items into a small case, and then
loaded a small tote type bag, taking his hand dragging him from the room. He
instantly felt the urge to pee as she dragged him outside and right into
Jeanine?s car, quickly belting him in before he could even put up any more
resistance.
"Ok thanks for everything, Doris," said Jeanine, hugging her.
"Oh anytime, and enjoy girls," said Mrs. Baker, leaning in and giving Chris
a kiss on the cheek before whispering in his ear. "In the bag is a night
gown, your wipes and a clean diaper in case you need it. If you want, I put
some pull ups in there, you can more easily do yourself if you want to be a
big girl. Consider it a reward for being a good girl tonight, and I?ll see
you in the morning. Ok princess?"
