Emerald Princess ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Chapter 6: Pretend ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ?ONE DAY ENDS and a new one begins,? I thought as I woke up in my castle nursery. "There she is!" Caireen crooned over me and picked me up. "Who?s the prettiest princess in all the world?" she said. "Yes, it?s you!" I let her baby talk to me for a few moments and then finally said, "Okay, enough already, what?s going on?" "Her little diapee must be messy, she?s a cranky little baby..." For the next thirty minutes I swear I had the most embarrassing and surrealistic treatment of me like I was younger than I even looked to be. Finally when she had my diaper changed and me dressed she said, "Well I?m having fun," she paused. "why aren?t you?" "Umm... it?s ridiculous and humiliating?" I suggested with my face flushed from embarrassment. "No, it?s normal mommy behavior, and definitely normal grandmother behavior." "Is that what this is about?" I asked confused. She sighed. "Remember also that I am the goddess of children?" I nodded. "Maybe I like to have fun every now and then?" "Oh," I said guiltily. "Have I ruined it completely for you?" "Only a little, you can make it up to me you know?" I groaned. "I guess given we?re stuck with each other I need to let you get it out every now and then. Just don?t do it all of the time, my brain is already having enough trouble grasping being a teenager in a baby?s body." "Yay!" she said. "Let?s go play outside!" I rarely saw the staff of the castle, but one of the maids came then. "Fiona, would you please pack a bag with a lunch, some changes for Sofia here, and bring it down to the East Garden?" "Yes Your Majesty," she said. "Let?s go see the butterflies!" she said with glee. Mentally I groaned a little, but I kept a smile on my face. My thumb found its way to my mouth since pacifiers didn?t exist here. The bottles were a little anachronistic because they existed, but even they were old fashioned with rubber teats that definitely weren?t life-like or orthodontic. In the meantime I noticed Caireen had either grown herself larger or shrank me down further. I decided she was larger because the doorways were closer to her head than I remembered. I had been shifted from holding onto me like a toddler on her hip to a more traditional infant carry like you might carry a newborn. All through the journey of stairs and corridors she talked baby talk to me and I did my best to try and not hate it. We exited the castle through a door I hadn?t been through before and I felt my breath catch as she held me up to see. Acres and acres of mowed grass were present with a rose garden lining walkways. It was like a scene from one of the castles in France or England that took my breath away. "Beautiful," I said around my thumb. Caireen stroked my hair and continued walking down the path past roses that had no equal in the real world. Their colors were too vibrant, varied, and indescribably beautiful in appearance and smell. She let me down when I squirmed to look at a green rose that looked like it had emeralds glittering in the petals. "What is it?" "A gift from a people that you base your dwarf legends off of. They dwell in caverns and mine for both money and joy. They designed this hybrid and gifted me with one of them many years ago." She paused. "Those are real emeralds too." I gulped, that plant was worth a fortune! I was picked back up and she walked me past the pathways and past the mowed grass, to a field that stretched out far in the distance with yellow, pink, purple, and blue wildflowers growing everywhere. Alighting from the flowers were the largest and most beautiful butterflies I?d ever seen. Many looked similar to the monarchs in our world, but there were so many other color combinations as they blended in with the many wildflowers around me. Caireen sat me down and I snuck as close as I could to a big purple one. "Will you sit on my hand?" I asked it. I was amazed as it looked at me skeptically and then moved to my finger that I held out. It tickled as it moved around. I brought it closer to my face and looked at it in wonder. When I was through I said, "Thank you, you?re very beautiful." The butterfly seemed to bow before it flew away and I spent a long time chasing others before Caireen said, "It?s time for lunch my little butterfly!" She laid me down on a blanket that Fiona had set out. I realized then that I had messed my diaper at some point and not noticed. "Well, you finally behaved like a normal baby and didn?t care about your poopy diaper," she said with a smile, but retaining that high pitched baby cooing in her voice. ?I really didn?t notice...? I thought. "How long have I been messy?" I asked, nervous of a rash forming. "An hour or so?" "An hour?!?" "Relax sweetie, you didn?t notice and your skin won?t get a rash. You could sit in a messy diaper for a week and your skin would keep healing itself." "It?s so disgusting though," I said with tears in my eyes. "Not to a baby who has no interest in getting out of diapers. You need to get yourself in that mindset or you?re going to go crazy in the next few months, let alone the rest of your life honey." The last bit she had answered sincerely and in her regular voice. I nodded. She continued wiping me with a cloth and finally I was put into a new diaper. "Okay, let?s have our lunch!" I expected a normal lunch I guess, but instead I ended up having a very finely chopped soup mixture that she fed me while she ate what it must have looked like normally. "I?m thirsty," I said after I finished. "Okay, let?s get my little princess something to drink!" she said. I expected her to grab a bottle from the basket or something, but instead she picked me up and pulled at her dress. "What are you doing?!?" I freaked out. "What are we doing today?" "Treating me like a baby?" "Exactly. You?re still young enough to nurse from the breast," she told me. "Normally someone like me would not do this herself, you would have a wet nurse assigned to you Princess, but given who I am, I love feeding babies!" Before I could raise any more fuss I was confronted with her breast and nipple. Knowing there would be no give here I relented and at least tried it. I put my mouth around her nipple, latched on like a bottle, and sucked on it. Instantly my mouth was filled with a liquid that was sort of like milk... but so much better! I swallowed and repeated over and over again before I must have gone to sleep. WHEN I WOKE in the real world I felt different somehow. ?Did that really happen?? I asked blushing. ?Yes my sweet princess, that wasn?t so bad, was it?? I blushed. ?No, I actually enjoyed it.? There was no sense in hiding that from someone whose consciousness shares a body with you! ?Good, I believe we will be doing that more often,? she assured me. ?Why?? ?Well, for one I enjoy it and you enjoy it, right?? she asked. ?I guess.? ?For another, you just thought you felt different today, right?? ?Uh-huh,? I said. ?When you nurse a baby they get their nutrients and food from their mother, correct?? ?That?s the idea...? I said. ?You gain magical power from me and additional strength when you nurse,? she told me. ?Seriously?? ?Why do you ask that all the time? I don?t joke that much, do I?? I sighed. ?No, it?s just a figure of speech that I must say a lot for you to ask that. I?ll try not to say it as much.? I could feel her smile. Mom came in right then as I was getting ready to stand up and she said, "Oh, you just woke up?" I nodded. "I was having a conversation with Caireen." "About?" Oh boy... "Umm... What did we did last night?" "Oh, her nursing you?" "How do you...?" "I came while you were asleep still nursing," Mom said wistfully. "I miss doing that," she admitted. ?Tell her I can help her lactate if she wishes...? ?NO!? I said. "Mom, Caireen asked if you would like her to help you on that, but I said no, I?m hoping you?re okay with that?" Mom smiled at me. "I know you wouldn?t be comfortable with me feeding you like that, so no worries." I sighed in relief. During this conversation Mom had stripped the blanket sleeper off of my body and pulled the soaked diaper off. I was soon in a dry diaper and Mom found a cute dress to put onto me without any tights. With that my day began and I alternated playing with Lily, eating, pooping, getting diaper changes, and getting on the computer. I found myself researching my new school as much as I could possibly do. I also watched Tangled with my little sister, and much to her joy and amusement, I used magic to make her a dress exactly like Rapunzels. She looked adorable in it and had to show Mom. Unfortunately I forgot to create a diaper in my mind and she peed on the kitchen floor as she excitedly showed it off. Oops! Thursday and Friday passed similarly during the days, and my nights were filled with a second day in the other world where Caireen nursed me at least twice each night. During the days I could feel more energy at my fingertips and was excited when Friday night Caireen said, "Okay, it?s time to teach you some defensive magic." "Really?" "Yes. I?m nervous about this trip tomorrow, I want you to be able to defend yourself and your family if needed." I nodded. "So what?s first?" "I want to teach you to make a shield for yourself first. It should stop any physical hits and projectile weapons you might encounter." "Cool!" "I want you to visualize the lines that are coming towards you right now." We had spent a lot of time already teaching me to see them even clearer than when I had first become aware of them last week. I had noticed that there were always at least four or five lines that led to me at all times. This time though there were more like twenty. I opened my eyes. "Why are there so many more lines?" She laughed. "I told you that nursing was making you stronger?" "Oh," I said, "will that keep increasing?" "I believe it will to a point and then it?ll plateau." She smiled at me. "Now, let?s get back to work. Visualize those lines again." I saw all twenty. "Okay?" "I want you to visualize those lines to weave together around you and protect you." The first time I tried it was like a fishing line that had gotten tangled in the trees, an unfixable knot! After five tries I finally managed to get it to go around me like a grid defining a three dimensional character on a computer screen. I looked up to Caireen. "Is that it?" "It should be, let?s see how it holds up!" I gasped a second later when she threw a dagger from her sleeve straight towards my shoulder. It hit the field and glanced off. I jumped and felt my diaper grow warmer. "I think I need a change..." She laughed. "Why, you?re perfectly safe in there." "How long does it hold up?" "Until the power in the lines you are using runs out. Right now I would say about twenty minutes." "A minute per line?" I asked. "That?s a good way to guess it I guess," she agreed. "Now, drop it and try it again." We practiced my bringing the shield up about another hour before she changed me and nursed me. I was still awake when she finished and I asked, "What can I do to protect my family?" She sighed. "I hope we have a lot more time to perfect this in the future. The same idea lets you do it around someone else. You can visualize it around multiple people. Just know it won?t last as long!" We practiced that for a while before she said, "I have one last defensive spell I want to teach you tonight, though it?s really more of an attack. You must never use this purely for fun or games." I nodded. "Take one of the lines out of your shield and visualize it going to your hand. From there think of it sending all of its energy as a ball of energy at that wall." She pointed at the far end of the stone room we had been working in. A ball of purple lightning, that?s the best way to describe it, went shooting through the air at the brick wall and... right through it. I gasped as I saw a hole in the wall six inches in diameter. She picked me up and showed me that it went through three more walls before ending in the outer wall of the castle. "How come it didn?t go through that wall?" "I have warded the walls, it?s impossible to use that spell to attack this castle." "Will it ever stop otherwise?" I paused. "I might accidentally hurt someone I didn?t intend to if it never stops..." "The way you just did it would send it flying until it met a barrier like this, or shot into space from leaving the curvature of the earth at the angle you shot it." I felt my diaper get wetter. "That?s scary." "Now, let?s teach you to limit it!" She smiled at me. "I wanted you to know the full power you have first so that you?ll respect that power." We spent an hour practicing limiting it to a distance in my mind of the target plus a foot to five feet depending on what she asked me to do. I was also able to limit it to hitting a human target and stopping then too. As she nursed me to sleep she said, "Sofia, I would not teach you the blast spell if I did not know for a fact that you have a pure heart. I will teach you many less destructive spells in the future, but if something happens tomorrow I want you to be prepared." I felt her stroke my hair and pat me lovingly before I fell asleep. THE NEXT MORNING I was woken up as Mom changed my diaper. "Oh, you decided to wake up?" She teased me. She was just finishing wiping me and had me in a new diaper before I was able to respond, "Yeah," around my pacifier. "What time is it?" "6:30," she told me. "Ugh..." I responded. Mom dressed me in white tights first, before dressing me in my signature green dress. "Isn?t it cold outside?" I whined about the dress. "I want to get some pictures with you and your sister for our Christmas Cards and photo album." "Oh," I said. Mom did my hair for several minutes and added my tiara to make me look picture perfect. "Are you going to have Lily wear her tiara?" I asked. Mom shook her head. "I?m going to have to do some convincing with her, since she doesn?t have one as pretty as yours." ?I can do something to help there,? Caireen said. ?My sister doesn?t need a priceless magic tiara though...?? I said questioningly. ?Of course not, but you can make a silver one with glass jewels just as easily to make her happy,? she insisted. "What color is her dress?" I asked. "Pink," Mom said with a smile, "you should have been able to guess that." I nodded and concentrated without saying another word to Mom. In my hands appeared a tiara that was similar to mine, but with clear crystal jewels for the main jewels and several crystals that looked like pink sapphires that circled around the base. It was made in plain old silver, which meant it was probably only worth a grand then... ?Probably a bit more, you made crystal jewels for the main ones, but the pink jewels are real sapphires,? Caireen said. ?Let?s keep that to ourselves?? Mom stared at me in shock and I said, "It wouldn?t be fair to Lily, so here is a tiara for her. It?s not the same as mine, but it should make her happy." I said the last with a smile, I was grateful that my new size hadn?t caused a bunch of sibling rivalry so far. I had a feeling it would come some day soon though. Mom hugged me and said, "You?re still the best older sibling she could ever have." "Thanks," I said. "Let?s get something in your tummy and then you can go back to sleep while we drive to Albuquerque. I need to do Lily?s hair now." I nodded and she carried me downstairs. My sister was already in her high chair with a bowl of cheerios in front of her. "What do you want to eat?" Mom asked as she strapped me into the high chair. "Cereal?s fine," I said as I pulled my pacifier out of my mouth and sat it on the tray. She had already poured a sippy cup of juice and sat it on the tray. I drank out of it silently while she found a bowl and filled it with just the cereal. I had never liked mushy cereal! "Lily, look what Sofia made for you!" Mom said with a smile. "It?s pretty like hers!!!" she said. "Am I a princess like her?" "Absolutely," I told her. I sort of played with the cereal more than I ate it as I watched Mom rearrange Lily?s hair, but eventually when Mom said, "Sofia, you can either eat your cereal or I?ll feed it to you?" I furiously ate it so I didn?t have to live with that embarrassment that morning. By 7am Mom had walked out the door once with all of the things she needed to take care of two toddlers, and then came back inside for the two of us. Mom put Lily in her car seat first, making sure that she had her favorite doll with her, before coming over and doing the same for me. I had Emie in my arms. Mom attached my pacifier to a clip and then to my dress so we wouldn?t have to search for it. Since we had the garage she didn?t have to remove coats from us before we sat down. "Here?s your bottle," she said to Lily. Anytime we went on a long trip Lily still got a bottle to help calm her down in her car seat. Mom looked at me with a question in her face and I said, "Why not?" She smiled and handed me a bottle of warm milk, closed our doors, and then got in herself. I nursed slowly on the bottle, in no hurry to drink it as I wasn?t that thirsty, so I still had half left when Mom pulled up to Hannah?s driveway. Hannah came out from her house as soon as she saw us and Mom motioned for her to sit in the front seat. I was suddenly self conscious and thought about hiding my bottle. "So you?ve discovered the joys of a bottle too?" Hannah said sweetly to me. I turned red. "Sofia, you?re a baby, it?s perfectly okay for you to have a bottle. Don?t go feeling self-conscious," she told me. "It?s part of blending," she added with a smile. "You ready to go?" Mom asked her. "Uh-huh, I?m so looking forward to not being stuck at home today! Thanks for inviting me!" "Well thanks for coming!" Mom said. With that she pulled out of her driveway and I went back to nursing my bottle. I looked as much as I could at my sister on my left and noticed she looked to be asleep already. Of course that?s why Mom was still more than happy to give her a bottle on long car rides. Mom and Hannah had a conversation going on in the front seat but it was hard for me to hear them up there. I settled for looking to my right for a while before I must have fallen asleep too. I woke up when I felt our car starting to slow down. I looked out the window and saw we were on the outskirts of Albuquerque. It was then I felt my body do something I really was hoping wouldn?t happen in the car! I filled the back of my diaper, and it smushed everywhere as it did so. It was only a couple moments before the smell made it to the front, but Hannah said, "Uh-oh, smells like we have a stinky princess!" I squirmed in the seat. I wouldn?t get a diaper rash as Caireen had pointed out to me, but that didn?t mean I wanted to be in it any longer than I had to. I put my pacifier in my mouth to try and keep from screaming like a real baby. "I assume that?s you Sofia?" Mom asked. I whimpered, "Yes," around my pacifier. "We?re going to stop to do those pictures and some shopping at the mall first, we?ll change you there. It?s not too long," she reassured me. I believe that was one of the longest twenty minutes of my life when Mom pulled into the parking space. Mom and Hannah got out of the car and came to the doors. Hannah took the bottle from next to me and handed it to me. "Can you hold onto that for a few minutes?" she asked me. I nodded. "Do you want me to change her out here or in the bathroom?" she asked Mom. "It?s easier to throw away a poopy diaper in the bathroom," Mom told her. "We?ll change both of them inside." Hannah picked me up and put me over her shoulder while I whimpered and held onto my bottle like she asked. Mom grabbed the diaper bag, Lily, and must have put Lily?s bottle in the bag already because I didn?t see it in her hands. As Hannah carried me back to the bathrooms, with Mom next to her with Lily, we passed by a girl who was probably about four. "Dat baby is poopy!" she cried out in a loud voice. I buried my head in Hannah?s shoulder and felt some tears going down my face. "Shhh, It?s okay," Hannah said to me softly as we walked through the bathroom door. "Sofia first?" Hannah suggested. "Yes, poor thing always hates having a messy diaper," Mom said. I pulled my head off of Hannah?s shoulder and saw Mom wipe off the changing table before placing the mat down on it. "I?ll change her," Hannah offered. Thankfully she didn?t waste any time waiting around. Mom grabbed my bottle from my hand and rinsed it out while Hannah happily changed the messiest, and most disgusting, diaper I had yet had. She wiped me really clean and then put a new diaper on and pulled my tights back up. "There you go, all clean!" Hannah said with a smile. She picked me up, sat me on the ground, and then washed her hands. I then stood by Mom while she changed Lily and Hannah used the toilet. ?I wish I could do that,? I thought sadly. I felt Caireen give me the mental equivalent of a hug. As soon as Hannah was out of the stall Mom had her take over watching the two of us and she went to the bathroom too. Hannah had the diaper bag on her shoulder and picked me up when Mom came out of the stall. Lily was in Mom?s arms soon too and we were off a little ways down the corridor to the portrait studio that Mom had made an appointment with. A man was standing at the counter when we walked up. "Hi, we have an appointment," Mom said. "Name?" "Rachel Hammerstein," Mom said. "For two toddlers?" "Yes sir," she said and he looked up to see what Hell he was going to experience. When he saw us he smiled. "These two princesses?" "Yep," Mom said. "Okay, Bonnie is going to be your photographer today, let me go make sure she?s ready." He walked away. "So that we don?t have the shape of a pacifier around your lips, would you be okay with taking it out?" Mom asked me. I shrugged and let it drop out of my mouth to hang on the strap. Hannah did some sort of one-handed gymnastics and unhooked the clip. I felt Hannah start bouncing me a bit like I used to do with Lily to calm her. "Ready to get your pictures taken?" she asked. "I guess... I just want to get it over with," I told her quietly. "You never know, you might have fun," she told me. "I hate pictures..." "No, you used to hate pictures," she told me, "now you?re an adorable little princess. All princesses LOVE getting their pictures taken," She chose that moment to tickle my side a little. I giggled and had to smile. It was weird having all of the tricks I used to use against Lily used against me - especially since most of them worked! "Mrs. Hammerstein?" a lady in jeans and a sweater asked. "Yes?" "Come on back, we?re ready to take your daughters pictures." We followed her back to a studio that had a white background ready to go first. Mom and Hannah set Lily and I down and began checking our appearance. Luckily my dress never wrinkled, but Lily?s had a little. Mom did the best she could to straighten it out though. My hair was a little bit crooked, but that was sorted through quickly. "Okay, you want individual shots, and some together?" the lady asked Mom. "Please," she said. "Which princess first?" the photographer asked in the high pitch mama voice. "I?ll go," I said. If I was a good example maybe Lily would be quicker... ?Good girl,? Caireen said in my head. ?Now pretend to have fun and enjoy it too!? "How old are you?" I held my two fingers up. "This many!" "They?re both two actually," Mom told her. The lady looked at her, and she said, "Ten months apart." "Ouch," the lady said, "I assume this princess is the older one?" Mom nodded. "Okay Princess, what?s your name?" "Sofia," I replied. "Well Sofia that dress is beautiful! And your tiara too! Why don?t you sit..." She took some pictures of me standing in front of the white background, sitting crisscross style, leaning on a number two, and crawling on the floor in quick succession before doing the same with Lily. She then had us sit together with the number and then also some other poses together before repeating pretty much the same steps with two other backgrounds. One we used a gigantic teddy bear as a prop. Mom and Hannah also joined in at times, one of the photos I hoped turned out had me sitting in Hannah?s lap. She had always been one of my best friends, but she was quickly turning into a big sister. I actually had fun, smiled, giggled, and was generally probably a photographer's dream happy baby. Lily got a little grouchy at the end, but I managed to tell her. "Come on, good princesses smile!" and she bought into it. At the end the lady said, "I have never had two more well behaved toddlers for photos. Ever! You should look into a modeling agency for Sofia. She?d make a fortune as a model." Mom smiled. "You?re not the first person to tell me that. When will you have proofs for us to look at?" "Well, we?re pretty dead right now. If you want to come back in an hour we can have printed proofs, or you?re welcome to look and pick from the computer screen in a couple minutes." Mom shook her head. "We?ll come back, I like having a print in hand to choose." She paused. "Plus I think they both need to have a diaper change and burn off some energy." The lady laughed. "At least you?re probably close to being through with changing that many diapers." "Hopefully," Mom said, as I noticed she eyed Lily. I would probably never grow up past that, we both knew that. Mom grabbed my hand in one hand and Lily?s in the other. "Come on you two, let?s go change your diapers." ?It would be nice if she wouldn?t announce that to the world...? I thought. ?You?re a baby, your potty habits are public record,? Caireen said. I could feel the smirk on her face. We actually walked all the way to the bathroom where Mom changed both of us this time. "Okay, we need to get the stroller out of the car," she said. "I don?t think Hannah wants to carry you all day Sofia." "I can walk you know," I told her quietly. Hannah was holding me tight though, so it kind of took the wind out of my sails. Hannah whispered back, "A normal two year old wouldn?t walk the whole day though." She was right. Back at the car Mom pulled out a new double stroller that she had bought online and had express shipped to the house. The stroller was a classic design that had one seat behind the other. Mom put Lily in the front and Hannah placed me in the back. "Why am I sitting in the back?" I asked. "Eyes," Mom said. I hadn?t even thought about my eyes... I wondered if the photographer noted them. "May I have my pacifier?" I asked, suddenly nervous again. Hannah reattached the clip and placed it in my mouth and we were back shopping. I was very bored for the next hour as we walked from one store to another, mostly keeping Lily and I in the stroller. Mom picked out a dozen new outfits for me, and a couple for Lily, but mostly we just walked and looked with them occasionally dressing us as their living dolls. The only place I really got enthusiastic about the shopping was the Disney store where I found a couple costume dresses I liked. Mom also bought Lily and I each a princess doll there. Several times as they walked girls would say, ?Oh my God, your daughters are sooooo cute!? We were in Sears and I really was getting thirsty. "Mommy?" I got her attention. "Yes Sofia?" "I?m thirsty." "Okay, just a minute," Mom said. I heard her messing with the bag behind my seat for a moment, a cap came undone, and then she handed me my bottle full of apple juice. "Umm... thanks," I said. "No sippy cup?" "Why? You love your bottle!" Mom said with a smile. I just began nursing from it slowly as she kept shopping before finally we returned to the portrait studio. "Ah, you?re back!" the lady said. "Come over here to the counter and you can look at the proofs." Hannah pulled me out of the stroller, Lily was out for the count, and placed me on the counter so I could see. The pictures of me were really good! I did look like a child model... except the eyes. There was just something unnatural about the shade of green and I didn?t think my being two years old was going to keep that from being noticed. Mom and Hannah chose three pictures of us separate and three together to get printed. Mom also bought a few prints of the ones that she and Hannah joined in. "They?ll be ready about four if you want to stop back by?" the lady offered. "Great! We?ll be back then. Come on Princess," Mom said as she put me back into the stroller. The journey back to the car was made, both of us were strapped into our car seats, and Mom pulled away. "Where are we going now?" "Grandma?s," Mom said. "Oh," I said nervously. "It?ll be fine," Mom reassured me. I watched the streets and buildings pass by and sucked nervously at my pacifier. I had heard many cruel things from Grandma directed towards mutants over the years. I clearly remembered last year when we saw a lady with GSD that looked like a half-human/half bear person at the mall. Grandma had loudly said, "I can?t believe they let that animal inside!" ?She can?t hurt you physically,? Caireen reassured me. ?She?s my mom?s mother though Caireen, I don?t want to be the reason she doesn?t love my mom anymore...? ?You have one of the smartest mothers I have ever met Sofia, I guarantee you she would hold her mother to blame and not you.? The drive seemed to take both forever and be too quick. I noticed my diaper growing wetter as we pulled into the driveway. ?Great, I?m meeting my Grandma as my new self, AND I need a diaper change.? Not wanting to antagonize my grandmother I took my pacifier out of my mouth, unclipped the clip, and pulled out my purse wherever it disappeared to. I quickly put it in there and then put my purse back. Mom had watched me in the mirror and gave me a smile and a nod. "Good idea," she said. "I?ll take Sofia, would you take Lily please?" Mom said to Hannah. "Sure," Hannah said. They went to each of our doors and I was soon let out of the car seat. Mom reached under my dress and felt my wet diaper. "I?ll change you once I figure out how your grandma is going to take this." I nodded and held onto her as she grabbed the diaper bag and we walked up to the door. Mom opened the door. "Mom, we?re here!" "My land Rachel, who is this beautiful little girl?" she said as she saw me. "This is Sofia," Mom said. "One of Lily?s friends?" She asked as she hugged Mom and moved on to hug Lily in Hannah?s arms. "No, Nicko!" Lily said. The world ground to a halt for a moment then. ?Really Lily?!?!? I thought to myself. ?She?s a two year old, you know it?s a requirement that she blurt out embarrassing things in inappropriate ways,? Caireen said. I had to agree with her. I watched Grandma?s face as she turned to look at me again. "She?s just pretending, right?" she asked Mom. Mom sighed and I felt her squeeze me reassuringly. "No Mom, Nicko manifested last week and his BIT, or rather her BIT, made him transform." "I knew you should never have married that no good husband of yours!" she started. "Mom, stop right there. I know you have some very strong beliefs against mutants..." Mom said all of this in a calm soothing voice. "but it?s not true. I love my child no matter what they may be and that won?t change. If you can?t do the same please tell me now and we?ll turn right back around and never come back." I saw the hurt in Grandma?s face and felt bad. "But..." "Look at her Mom, I promise you she?s the most beautiful grandchild you could ask for. She?s sweet, just as sweet as she always was, and all either of us want you to do is just to love us." Grandma began crying and said, "I?m sorry, I promise I?ll behave. Please don?t ever think I could walk away from you Rachel," She came over and hugged Mom and said, "May I hold her?" Mom passed me to her and she said, "Well, you are a beautiful baby my dear. Why did you end up like this?" She asked. "I woke up sick and saw my sister in the hall... I guess I was thinking about how it would be nice to still have Mom hold me like she did when Lily gets sick... Next thing I know I?m a two year old baby girl." "Wearing diapers?" she asked in surprise as she readjusted her hold on me and felt it. "And a wet one?" I buried my head in her shoulder. "Sorry... I can?t help it." "Let me see that diaper bag Rachel," Grandma said. I looked up in surprise. "What, you don?t think I can change diapers still?" Grandma carried me to the room that served as her spare bedroom. Inside there, was a large dresser we used for changing Lily on when we were there. Grandma sat me down next to it for a moment, laid out the changing pad, and then picked me up. "Let?s get those tights down, huh?" I laid patiently while Grandma changed me almost exactly like Mom, but it was sweeter somehow. Maybe that was because she didn?t change a dozen diapers a day or something. "Where did you get that pretty tiara?" she asked me. "It was a gift," I said simply. "From?" I sighed. "From the goddess who bonded with me." "Goddess?" she said. "There?s only one God," she said tersely. "Call her a being then Grandma, she?s very powerful." "Do you have powers now?" She asked as she pulled my tights back up. "Yes, but I?m just barely learning how to use them," I told her. "What can you do?" she asked me. "I can change my dollies clothes," I said with a smile. "Umm... well that?s special," she said. Mom happened to have Emie in her hands from a second trip out to the car. When she handed me Emie I changed her to a one piece jumpsuit like Mom had purchased for me earlier. "Whoa!" she said and glared at me. "Can we pretend you?re a normal baby now?" She paused. "It?ll be easier for me to get used to?" I nodded as she gave me a hug in thanks, picked me up, and carried me to the living room where Hannah was playing with Lily on the floor. She held me in her lap and sat on the opposite side as Mom on the couch. "So, I assume Sofia is all registered and such?" Mom nodded. "We took care of that first thing Monday." "What now?" she asked. "Well... after Christmas she?s going to go out to a school in the Northeast." "A mutant school?" she asked, a little bit of the prejudice showing, but I could tell she was trying. "Yes," Mom said simply. "They have a preschool program?" she asked without any malice. "No, I?ll be going to high school I think," I told her. "You?re a little young for a high schooler, plus they?re usually potty trained?" she suggested. "I know, but it?s just part of what I get to deal with. It?s like having a disability with the diapers." "And you really don?t have any control?" she asked. I shook my head but tried not to look ashamed in front of her. "I have less control than Lily I think." "Yes, speaking of Lily, when are you going to potty train her? She?s about six months overdue if you ask me Rachel." "After Christmas," Mom said simply, "it?d be too hard right now with her big sister still being in diapers. It?ll be a bit easier when she goes away to school." Grandma looked at me for a moment and just sighed. "So this tiara of hers - I see Lily has one just like it?" I shook my head. "No, it?s a lot different, it just looks similar. I made it for her to keep her from feeling jealous. Mom wanted me to wear mine today." "And just why do you even need a tiara?" she asked me. "Because I?m a princess now," I told her matter-of-factly. "Of COURSE you are," she said and laughed a little. "I forgot all little girls are really princesses." I decided not to correct her and Mom didn?t either. We spent about an hour talking there. During which my weight being so little came up, my eyes being pretty but obviously those of a mutant, again about Lily needing to be potty trained, and a billion other nitpicking things came up. It?s part of why Mom didn?t come to see her that often - it wore on you. Eventually Grandma said, "Well, shall we go out to eat lunch?" Hannah ended up in the middle seat between the two carseats and seemed kind of squished. Luckily it wasn?t far to the restaurant and Mom was carrying Lily into the restaurant and Grandma had me. "You are way too light," she told me quietly while we waited for them to get a table with two high chairs ready." I blushed. "You do eat, right?" she asked. "Umm... you could say that," I whispered back. "Rachel for five?" the hostess said and led us to the table they had ready. Lily and I were placed into the seats, had our bibs put on, and then sat there coloring on the menu while we waited for Mom to order for us. Thankfully we?d already talked before that I wanted the chicken alfredo! The waitress preemptively brought us a box thinking we would need it. She and my grandmother were very surprised to see I daintily finished every bite! Mom checked Lily?s diaper where she was sitting in the high chair and said, "I?m going to go change Lily?s diaper, do you need changed too, Sofia?" I had to nod. Hannah picked me up out of the high chair and sat me down on the ground. Mom grabbed Lily and my hands and walked us back to the bathroom. We had to wait for another mom to change her newborn?s diaper before Mom was able to change Lily and then me, before we went right back to the table. By the time we got back the check was paid by Grandma and she and Hannah were ready to go. Grandma decided to come shopping with us, so she went with us to Costco, Kohl?s, Babies ?r Us, and another mall before we returned to the photo shop at the mall we started at in the morning. Mom decided to be brave and go without the stroller since we had both been getting antsy inside of it. "Come on slow poke," Hannah prodded me when I stopped to look at a window display of pretty dresses on our way in. Mom and Grandma had just gone up to the counter to talk to the man while Hannah, Lily, and I stood outside the store. Someone grabbed me all of the sudden and started running. "What are you doing?" I screamed. It wasn?t Hannah! Someone was kidnapping me!!!!!! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Chapter 7: Bonded ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "PUT ME DOWN!" I screamed loudly. "Shut up freak!!!" a man said as he found the pacifier clipped to my dress and shoved it in my mouth. "I warned you!" I said around my pacifier as I touched his body with my hand and pushed a charge of magic into it. I didn?t have time to think about ley lines or technique, I just did it by instinct. That?s when all Hell really broke loose. He fell down like a sack of coal but his momentum carried us forward. I tumbled across the floor and my head hit the tile floor hard! I wanted to cry and could feel some tears begin to stream out of my eyes. "Oh my God, someone call 911!" a lady screamed. "That baby?s a mutant!" "Someone, get that baby! It?s a freak of nature!" I looked around at the unfriendly faces for all of a second, before I picked myself off the ground and began running as quickly as I could back down the hallway I?d come. People tried chasing me but I ran between the legs of the adults, around strollers, and I was sure that I was putting the mile time from the other day to shame. ?Caireen, is there any way for me to move faster?? I asked. ?You already are, you need to find your Mommy.? ?Duh!? I said. Fortunately for me I spotted Hannah not far from me. "Hannah!!!" I cried! When I got close to her, I leaped into her arms. "Oh my God I was so worried," she said as she caught me and gave me a tight hug. "We?re not out of the woods, where?s Mom...?" "That girl has her, come on!" I heard a voice yell. "Run Hannah!" I told her. All of a sudden the world seemed to almost freeze in place as more things happened at once than my brain could process immediately. First, I noticed that Hannah?s eyes changed colors to a green almost identical to mine. Before I could even gasp, she began glowing green like a glow stick... She shouted, "You won?t hurt her!" and a shockwave of green light flew out from her towards the mob that was chasing us. ?What the Hell?? I screamed in my brain. Hannah staggered a bit, then she sat down suddenly while barely holding onto me. Luckily Mom and Grandma were right there by then. Mom asked Grandma. "Mom, can you help Hannah?" Grandma nodded while Mom picked up Lily. Grandma put her shoulder underneath Hannah?s arm and began helping to get her moving down the hallway. I ran alongside them as we retreated to the parking lot as quickly as we could. As we made it through the doors, I thought we might just make it away safely without any other pursuit... but that wasn?t to be. We had just about made it to the car when a dozen men began running towards us with ski masks over their faces. "I?ll take care of this," I told Mom. "But..." "We?ll never make it past them even in the car. I?ll take care of it. Get Lily strapped in and Hannah in there. Leave the door open for me to jump into." Thankfully my mom decided not to argue and just started doing what I?d told her. As the crowd approached, I found six lines for a blast right in front of them and let loose. A green ball of energy flew from my hand and struck true about eight feet in front of where they were. A sudden explosion nearly knocked me to the ground! The blast was terrifying, and a huge crater formed in the asphalt where I had aimed. All of our pursuers were blown backwards and lay still on the ground. Car alarms blared all around me, and windows were shattered all around the crater. I only caught that with a glance though as I turned to jump into the car, close the door, and screamed, "Go!" Mom sped away with screeching tires. I clambered into my car seat and Hannah shakily latched the straps for me. "Are you okay Hannah?" "I think so, I?m so glad you?re okay!!!!" she said and there were tears in her eyes. "Mom, drive to Grandma?s as fast as you can." "Why there?" Mom asked. "I?m hoping she?ll let us borrow her car to buy us a little more time. Then we need to get back to Los Alamos as quickly as we can. Hannah?s going to have the MCO all over her if we?re not careful!" "That?s fine," Grandma said. "We?ll put your car in the garage to try and kill a bit more time." "Won?t they be watching the road to Los Alamos?" Hannah asked. "Probably, but we?ll take the back road through Jemez Springs instead," I suggested. Mom nodded and pulled through the streets as quickly as she could without getting pulled over. I pulled my purse from the space it was kept and pulled out my cell phone from where I had left it that morning and dialed Dad. "Daddy!" I practically shouted in relief. "Sofia? What?s wrong?" "We?re in trouble... Someone tried kidnapping me and I ended up using magic to take him down. Some Humanity First types tried to grab me but I escaped to Hannah who chose that moment to manifest herself... She used some sort of energy to blast at the people following me and it made a huge blast to knock them over." "So, you got away?" "In the parking lot there were more so I used my magic and blasted a spell in front of them... it might look like a bomb went off," I said embarrassed. "Where are you now?" "We?re heading to Grandma?s to trade cars for hers and leave her there." "Which way are you planning on coming home?" "The back way," I said. "I?ll see if I can get some of my friends to help you out. Be careful." "Okay, talk to you later, love you." "Love you too." "Dad?s going to try and get us some help," I said as Mom pulled into the driveway. Grandma had a garage opener in her purse, used it to get the door open and was in her car quicker than I believed she could be at her age. She pulled it out and we parked our car and switched out the car seats before jumping in her car. Quick hugs were exchanged and Mom took off quickly. "Are you okay Hannah?" I asked as we drove. I was glad she didn?t seem to be going through an immediate burnout like I did. "I think so. People and a lot of objects have these weird glowing auras around them now..." I nodded. "You definitely manifested too! And you nailed those guys, thank you for that!" "You?re welcome Sofia, but I couldn?t let anyone hurt you. When I saw those guys coming to attack you I felt something pop inside and... it?s weird." "What?s weird?" Mom asked. "The last week Sofia has mattered to me because she?s been like my little sister, but now she seems different. I really don?t think I can describe it..." ?She bonded to you,? Caireen said with a gasp. ?What do you mean?? I felt her sigh. ?It means that now I have to share you with two other mothers.? "WHAT?!?!" I screamed aloud. "What?s wrong honey?" Mom asked frantically looking around. "You?re fine Mom, keep driving," I said, not wanting to mention it. "You know what it is?" Hannah asked. I nodded. "Do you?" "I think so... sorry," she said. "What, it?s not like you could help it?" I suggested. "We?ll talk about it when we get home." "If we get home..." Hannah said nervously. Mom took a back route to go through Rio Rancho to Bernalillo, and then down the road to San Ysidro where we would turn. Just before she made the turn my phone rang. "Hello?" "Sofia, it?s a good thing you went the other way, the news is showing a group of Humanity First have set up roadblocks the other way to catch the suspects in a heinous terrorist attack..." "Great, nothing on this route yet?" "Not mentioned on the news yet, but that doesn?t mean they aren?t there. Unfortunately, one of the ?features? of Los Alamos for the government is there are only two ways in and out. You might try and disguise yourselves if you can." "Doh! How come I didn?t think about that?" I said annoyed. "I think we?re going to lose service here Dad, hope to see you soon." As soon as I hung up, I changed everyone?s clothes. Lily and I were now in innocent looking onesie rompers that showed the edges of diapers. I changed Hannah?s outfit to a Gi and Mom into a business suit. Mom and Hannah?s hair colors also got changed to a dark brown. I left mine alone for a while. I was prepared to make a shield around the car for if we were attacked. "Why am I wearing one of your uniforms?" Hannah asked. "Well, would you prefer a cheerleading outfit?" I asked. "No..." she said thoughtfully. "I think a sweater and jeans sticks out less, don?t you?" I sighed. "That?s why I had you wear that. It?ll make your clothes stand out and not your eyes." "Oh." Mom drove down the twisty road through the Jemez Pueblo and then the Mountains. In Jemez Springs we spotted the first sign of trouble in that there was a long line of traffic that seemed to be running into a roadblock. "Hannah, can you get a bottle for Lily and I?" "Now?" she asked. "Now, I?ll look more innocent," I said with conviction. "Then act like you?re napping." So it was that five minutes later we pulled up to a road block of a county sheriff officer and some Humanity First volunteers that had been deputized and were looking at vehicles. "Looks like you got your hands full ma?am," the officer said while looking around the car with a flashlight. Mom laughed. "At times it feels that way." "Where you coming from?" "Las Cruces, my oldest had a tournament there today." She nodded towards Hannah. "It always amazes me how tired she is after her adrenaline wears down. Anyway, I heard there was some sort of mutant problem the other direction to town, so I decided to play it safe and drive this way." He nodded and shined a light at me in the car seat. I could feel it somehow even though I had my eyes shut. I hoped I looked like I was sleepily nursing on my bottle. "Cute daughters," he said. "Yeah we?re keeping an eye out for a couple of dangerous mutants here. Have you seen anything suspicious on your drive up?" Mom shook her head. "It?s been a quiet drive until we ran into this checkpoint. I hope you catch the mutant filth you?re looking for." "Me too," he said. "Go ahead and move along," he said. Mom drove away and I waited forty seconds before I dared breath. She drove through the small town and sped away at the limits down the highway to Los Alamos. "I can?t believe that worked," Mom said. "Don?t get cocky Mom, they?ll probably have another guard looking out at the guard station going into Los Alamos. Hopefully Dad at least was able to help out with that..." I sat in the car and watched the steep cliffs and forest go by. The snow from last week was still around and it was really pretty. I noticed I still had half a bottle of milk left and nervously nursed the rest of it. I never once felt sleepy as we continued up the mountain. It was at the Caldera entrance that we hit another checkpoint - this one an MCO run checkpoint that seemed to have hastily been put into place. "I have a bad feeling about this one Mom. Play it like we did the last one. If they get suspicious, gun the engine and don?t stop until we get to Los Alamos." Everything was going well until I could see they ran the license plate and discovered it was registered to Grandma. "Ma?am, we need you to step out of the vehicle. The mutant scum in your car are to be taken in," he said as he leveled a pistol at her. I activated the shield spell and said, "Go Mom!" At the same time, I also fired spells at the cars they had and obliterated their transportation. The next fifteen minutes of my life were the most terrifying moments I had ever experienced! Mom drove like a crazed lunatic through the switchbacks down the mountain and into town. "There?s a helicopter up there!" Hannah cried out halfway down. Just as I was trying to see from my limited view, I saw a blue electrical pulse flying toward us. Fortunately, my shield stopped it and the energy dissolved. My shield seemed to be undamaged, but I could feel it was a tiny bit weaker. Fifteen or so shots of that, or a few more powerful blasts would probably knock my shield down! Just as I was getting ready to shoot off a spell attack Hannah rolled her window down and sent another of those bright green balls of energy at the helicopter. The ball exploded against the rear of the helicopter?s engine. "They?re really not going to like us," I said. "Oh my God, I didn?t mean to..." Hannah said. "Hannah, it?s okay, they would have done much worse things to us," I told her as it went down. "Besides, some of them probably made it off and are just going to deal with broken bones," I doubted all made it, but they weren?t too high above the ground when they crashed... Finally, the lights of the town came into focus and we could see flashing police lights waiting for us. Fortunately, they were Military Police vehicles and I was eternally grateful as they welcomed us into town and then asked us to step out of the vehicle. Dad was standing there beside one of the chief security officers. Mom grabbed Lily and I out of our car seats and launched herself at Dad in a hug. "Get in here!" I told Hannah as she looked sheepishly around. "Mrs. Hammerstein, is everyone alright?" he asked. Mom sniffed her nose and nodded. "Mostly, I have two poopy babies I think though." I hadn?t even noticed. AN HOUR LATER we were in a secure area of the Los Alamos labs with military guards outside the conference room we were in. Lily was cuddled up in Mom?s lap while I was in Dad?s lap. Hannah?s parents were there, along with the chief of security, Dad?s boss, and a representative from the MCO. "I demand you turn custody of these two mutants over to us immediately!" a flustered MCO agent demanded. "I have warrants for their arrest in the attempted murder of 20 people in Albuquerque, 8 MCO officers up at the Caldera, Murder and attempted murder of MCO agents when they shot down a helicopter, among other charges!" "No," the Chief of Security, Robert Jennings said simply and unemotionally. "But..." "The facts are pretty clear in the first part sir. They were defending themselves from a mob after Sofia defended herself from a kidnapper. Your agents only were attacked when they were abusive and said, ?Mutant scum,? as they tried to detain them. I think anyone would doubt their safety in that instance." "But..." "They have a video recording of this that I have viewed. Furthermore, both of these mutants have Military MIDs and fall under our jurisdiction." "I?ll fight this!" the gentleman fumed. "I?m sure you will. Sergeant Weathers, please escort this man and all other MCO agents out of town. The MCO has no jurisdiction here." When he left, I looked at Hannah. "When did you get your card?" "Actually, that was a bit of a stretch of the truth. We?ll need to take her and test her immediately for one, but I don?t think it?s a good idea for your daughters to remain here much longer," he said to our parents. Mom nodded with tears coming out of her eyes. "You?re right." "Is there any way we can see if Whateley can take both of them right away?" Dad asked. As if to answer the question before it even came from his mouth there was a knock on the conference room door and another uniformed Sergeant stepped in. "Elizabeth Carson just arrived sir." "Excellent timing," Robert said. Mrs. Carson walked in a moment later and smiled at us. "How are you doing?" she said to us as a group. "It?s good to see you again Robert, Mr. and Mrs. Hammerstein, Sofia," she said politely. "I?m Elizabeth Carson, the headmistress at Whateley Academy," she said to Hannah and her parents. "How are you here so quickly?" Dad asked surprised. "Sofia has some interesting abilities that left her flagged in our system. We prefer to take students at a semester break at this point, but if something like what just happened goes on, we like to be ready to move things sooner." "So, you can take her now?" Mom asked. "Sort of, I have to work out one last thing. I suspect it?s going to be just fine though," she told Mom. "Mr. and Mrs. Rayburn, I think based on what happened with Hannah she would also benefit from coming to Whateley. Unfortunately, the MCO is going to be breathing down her back for some time. I believe like the Hammersteins, you don?t actually live in Los Alamos?" Hannah?s dad shook his head. "No, we live outside too. The lab's protection only extends through Los Alamos?" he asked Mr. Jennings. "That?s correct. Since the labs were historically military operated from the time of the Manhattan Project, we have retained the ability to send those MCO scumbags out of town at our leisure. The problem is that if you exit town, they can do whatever they want again." "Your school, it?s also free of this issue?" her dad asked her. "Yes. Historically we?ve had many students who have found the school to be a safe haven from MCO witch hunts." "It?s a good school?" Hannah?s mom asked. "I mean... I never expected Hannah to be a mutant..." she sounded shocked. "And," her voice cracked, "I never thought I would have to send her away for school so soon..." "You would of course be welcome to visit, and your daughters are always welcome to come home for breaks. I wouldn?t recommend them visiting for Christmas though, the MCO probably won?t let up until at least March when they?ll most likely have had some bigger fish to fry." I watched both of our moms burst into tears at that. "You said there was one more issue?" Dad asked. "Well we still need someone to roommate with Sofia and help her with... " "Diapers and babysitting?" I asked. "Yes." "I?ll do it," Hannah said. "Are you sure?" Mrs. Carson asked. "I don?t think I could let anyone else do it," Hannah said. "I?m sure someone else could," Hannah?s mom started. "No Mom, I mean I physically and emotionally couldn?t let someone else do it." "What do you mean Hannah?" Mrs. Carson asked. I answered, "Mrs. Carson when I jumped into Hannah?s arms, with everyone chasing after me, that was when she mutated. Just as I ended up with the BIT of a baby... I think she ended up with the BIT of a mother." I looked sheepishly at Mom. "Caireen complained that she?s having to share me with two other mothers now, this kind of confirmed it to me." "A true bonding... that is unique," Mrs. Carson said. "In that case I think we?ll take both girls as roommates. Do you need a crib, or can Caireen help you modify your room?" she asked me. ?Caireen?? ?I get to make another nursery!? She sounded happy. I groaned internally. "We?ll take care of it," I told her. "Okay then, Robert, have you finished processing Hannah?s MMID yet?" "We haven?t tested her yet..." "Can you make the MMID and we?ll test her at Whateley? We retest everyone there anyway, and it would let us get them settled in tonight. I?ll send you her test results by Tuesday to log into the system." "Give me a half-hour?" he suggested. "Good, that?ll give the girls a chance to say goodbye to their parents and me to get an extra warper to come help them out." "What about my clothes and stuff?" Hannah asked. "We?ll ship them to you," her mom said. The next thirty minutes were tear filled. Mom insisted on changing my diaper before we left, and I hugged my sister and parents, clinging to them until it was time to go. "Be good for Hannah," Mom told me. "Mom, she?s my best friend..." "And, apparently another mother now. She has my full permission to discipline you or whatever she needs to do." "But..." "Sofia that?s not up for debate. You?re in a two-year old?s body - and at times you act like it too." I sighed. "I?ll be good, like always Mom!" Finally, the time came and Mrs. Carson directed us to follow her out to an area that wasn?t warded against warpers. Hannah held me on her right hip so I could see a little bit. Mom had given her Lily and my diaper bag with four bottles that had been rinsed out, some diapers, and a few extra pacifiers. She promised to next-day ship some other clothes and more diapers for me too. We came to an area marked, "Warper port," with a dozen armed Marines standing guard. There were two people there that looked to be in some sort of uniform that said Whateley on the shirts. "Good evening Mrs. Carson," an older one said. "Hi Tom, these two ladies are going back with us," she said. "The baby?" he asked surprised. "Come on Tom, you know better than to judge by appearance," she chided with a smile at the man who had some decidedly insect looking features on his face. "Right Mrs. Carson," he said. "Okay, young lady," he said to Hannah. "I?m going to grab onto your elbow, hold on tight to the baby." A moment later our parents were gone and we were no longer in Los Alamos. We stood outside a large building on a street. "Welcome to Whateley ladies," Mrs. Carson said from beside us. "Normally we would go have a meeting and complete some paperwork when you arrive, but given it?s nearly midnight I think it?s better to take you to your dorm and get you settled in." She paused. "Umm... Hannah, because of Sofia I have a dorm I want to place you in... Please don?t be offended by it when you discover more about it. "Huh?" we both said, but she didn?t explain any further. A very pretty looking short Hispanic girl came up the path just then. "Mrs. Potter asked for me to come see you to help some new students?" ?Be careful, this girl is very powerful,? Caireen told me. "Yes Esmie." She pointed towards us. "These two will be joining Poe Cottage, Mrs. Potter will help them find a room there." "Okay, no problem!" she said with a very pretty voice and beckoned us to follow her. "I?m sorry, I?m Esmie," she said, "and you are?" "I?m Sofia, and this is Hannah," I said for us. Esmie kept walking. "I assume Sofia you?re actually older than you look?" I laughed. "Sort of... at least I was." "Sounds like an interesting story," she said. "That it is," I agreed. "Any chance I can hear it?" "Tomorrow?" I suggested. "It?s been a long day..." "If you arrived in the middle of the night with Mrs. Carson and warpers I imagine it was!" she agreed. Esmie stopped just outside a building with a statue in front of it. It looked like a proper private school dorm from the movies, with nothing really scary about it, that made me nervous. "Look there?s a lot that I need to fill you in about this school... But most of it can wait until tomorrow though. Before we go in, I want to make sure you know for certain about Poe." "What about it?" Hannah asked. "Mrs. Carson alluded to something too." "We have a secret. Everyone here is either a changeling or prefers non-traditional relationships." "They?re gay in other words?" I asked. "Sofia Elizabeth!" Hannah hissed, shocking me by her motherly use of my middle name. "What? I?m not knocking it." I felt a bit bad. "So, I?m assuming Sofia you are a changeling?" she asked me. I nodded. "In about every way..." "Hannah?" she asked her and I looked up to see Hannah blushing. "Hannah?" I asked softly, confused. "I?ll fit in here," she said with a smile. "Leave it at that," she said as much to me as to Esmie. "Don?t worry, we?ll keep the dorm?s secret." Esmie smiled at us. "Welcome to Poe!" It was quiet as we entered the front doors and a kindly older lady that had stern eyes greeted us. "Good evening Esmie," she said to her. "Go ahead and head up to your room, I?ll see to these two now." "Thanks, Esmie," I said, joined by Hannah?s voice. "Ladies, my name is Mrs. Potter, I?m the house mother for Poe." "Nice to meet you, I?m Hannah, and this is Sofia," Hannah said. "If I didn?t know any better, I would say Sofia was your daughter?" she asked. We both blushed. "Not by birth," I said. "How old were you before you changed?" she asked me. "Eighteen." "I see, Hannah, you were the same age?" "Yes, I guess at least I don?t think I?ve changed ages like Sofia..." She smiled at Hannah and continued. "Anyway, we are fortunate enough to have one dorm room left empty on the freshman floor. I hope the regular beds work for Sofia?" "Mrs. Carson is expecting me to change it," I said simply. "Alright then." She showed us where the bathrooms were and led us to our room. It was a pretty good-sized room in all honesty, but I hoped it would be big enough for whatever Caireen had in mind. "Do you need any bedding?" she asked curiously. ?Caireen?? ?Nope, I?m going to take care of everything!? she said with a giddiness that made me fearful. "I?ll be making it," I assured her. She looked suspiciously at me in Hannah?s arms but shrugged and said "Good night, ladies, I need you ready to go at eight so you can get your breakfast. You have an appointment at one to begin sorting out the next few days for yourselves out." "Okay Sofia," she said as she sat me down on the floor, "do your thing?" ?Caireen, you want to just take over and I?ll watch? I?m really tired.? I confessed the last bit with a little bit of shame. ?Absolutely!? For the next twenty minutes Caireen worked spells that I tried to follow but didn?t have a chance to really do so. It was advanced magic that was way beyond my understanding. At the end of all of it we stood in the prettiest and most girly room I could imagine existed on the planet. Everything, including the existing furniture, closet doors, wardrobes, had been changed to a white color with fancy molding along the ceiling and along the walls a couple feet from the floor. The drop ceilings tiled look had been changed to plaster, with lots of decorative sculpted accents, and two medium size crystal chandeliers hung down to illuminate the room. Glass wall sconces now adorned the wall as well. The floor was cushioned by a very soft light lavender carpet. The walls of the room appeared to have been split into two personalities. Hannah?s featured a pretty deep lavender color that had a large, bold black sketching of a tree with music notes and hearts interspersed in it. Mine featured a mural of the castle from the Sofia the First show and the characters painted on it in painstaking detail. The mural spanned both of my walls, just as her color spanned her wall and the wall portions visible around the closets and wardrobes. The room itself seemed to have somehow grown larger by at least double. Hannah had a beautiful white four poster bed with elegant bedding and lots of lace on the curtains that came down. Somehow there was a little detail or two that made it seem older fashioned and retro than the little girls dream bedding that was mine. I felt both excited and diabetic from looking at my side of the room. A round crib with a canopy over it was just offset from the wall. A changing table leaned against the wall opposite the doorway. It was all styled very similar to my nursery in the castle, which didn?t surprise me since the same person decorated this one! My bedding was a light pink and I could see the crib had emerald jeweled accents along the top and bottom rail, in addition to having ornate carvings of tiaras along the rails as well. We had each been allotted desks along a wall, one obviously mine by the size, and computers rested on both. A rocking chair was conveniently located in one corner of the room with a soft pink and green baby blanket hanging over the back of it. There were bookshelves for both of us, with one shelf completely filled with picture books. A toy chest sat next to the wall, most likely filled with toys. Hannah confirmed that when she went to open it. "Wow," Hannah said. "Too much?" I asked. "Way," she giggled. "This is the princess bedroom I dreamed about since I was a little girl!" "Well, we both have it now," I said while shaking my head. Without warning she picked me up and walked me over to the changing table. She noticed there were diapers there and said, "Caireen, Your Majesty, thank you for this." ?Tell her she?s welcome,? Caireen said. "She said you?re welcome." Hannah had me stripped from the romper and the soaked diaper I was wearing in no time. She left me strapped on the changing table and walked to the closets. Inside she found a light green nightgown with as much lace as anything I had seen at Caireen?s castle. "This is adorable!" she said. I sighed and agreed. "It?s very pretty." She had it on over my head and then said, "Your mom said you normally have a bottle at night?" I nodded. "And a story..." I paused. "I don?t expect that from you though. It?s not like we have any milk in the room!" Hannah nodded and sat me on the floor. "Let me see if Caireen left me anything to wear." She opened the closet and was amazed to see a collection of modern and heirloom dresses there. She found a pretty pink nightgown for herself and began taking her clothes off. I was really embarrassed, but for some reason couldn?t help but watch. When the Gi she was still wearing came undone she stiffened. Her bra was soaked. "What the Hell?" she said. "Eew..." She pulled off her bra and we both realized why she had that problem. She was lactating. She just stared at me and didn?t say a word. ?Caireen, what?s going on?? ?I don?t know for sure...? ?But?? I felt her sigh, ?I told you there was another mother... I think that?s why.? ?Is she okay?? ?Of course. Though if she continues to lactate without having a baby pulling the milk out it gets very painful.? "Say something Sofia," Hannah said. "You had that ?I?m talking to Caireen look? on your face." Now I sighed too. "She said that it?s because you bonded with me." "Is that all?" I shook my head. "She also mentioned that it will get pretty painful if you don?t have a way to remove it." "Is this a permanent thing?" ?Is it?? ?Maybe. She might dry up like a normal mother if there?s not a baby feeding.? ?But?? ?But I have a feeling this is her BIT just like yours is leaving you in diapers.? "Great..." I said aloud. "She says you might dry up if there?s not a baby feeding." "Or?" "Or... this is your BIT." Hannah burst into tears then and I ran up to hold her legs in a hug at least. "What am I going to do? They already thought you were my daughter... Like I had you at sixteen!?!?! If I?m lactating..." I held onto her for a moment before she picked me up and hugged me tight. Her face was really red when she pushed me back so I could see her face. "I wish it wasn?t so out of the question to have you help me..." "Help how?" I asked cautiously. "Well you?re the only baby I know around..." She paused. "And you got me into this mess." "I was your eighteen-year-old male best friend last week!" I whined. "Well, this week you?re a baby," she said with a smile. I looked at her face and could see the discomfort showing. Hannah had been my best friend for years, and I could tell she was embarrassed beyond words right now too. "No one other than a doctor or our parents knows about this, right?" I asked. "What happens in the nursery, stays in the nursery," she told me. "Mom never follows that rule..." "I promise not to announce your poopy diaper changes all over the school like she would." "Can I have that in writing?" She tickled my side. "I guess shall we try this? If it?s too weird you really don?t have to... I kind of feel like I need you to though," she told me honestly. "I?m more worried about the two of us being so dependent on each other, but let?s give this a go," I told her with a smile. "You know other than pretending to feed my dolls when I was little, I don?t have a clue how to do this..." "Well, put me up there and hold me," I told her. So that?s what she did. I sucked tentatively a moment later before beginning a natural rhythm that I felt like I had no control over. "Does that taste okay Sofia?" she asked me. I didn?t respond though; my body was on autopilot just like it was with Caireen in the castle. Eventually when I had drained her first breast, she instinctively shifted me to the other side. While she was holding me, she began singing a lullaby. Her voice was beautiful and soothing. It left me feeling like I was in the safest place in the world, I was so comfortable! At some point I must have fallen fast asleep. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Chapter 8: The Tour ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I WOKE UP in Caireen?s arms as she picked me up out of my crib. "Oh, so those eyes do open?" she said sweetly. "It was a long day," I told her. "I know," she said and cuddled me tightly in her arms. "I was so worried things were not going to work out." "I knew they would," I told her with a smile. "Why?" "Because I had you and my family, duh!" "Well, I know you fed before bedtime, but I think you need breakfast," she told me with a smirk. She nursed me and I reflected that in my own private castle it wasn?t so bad. What would happen if Hannah nursed me somewhere publicly though? It was only when she burped me like an infant and I realized I had finished. "Wow, you?re really not awake yet, are you?" "I was just thinking," I told her. "About?" "Can?t you tell?" "Not when we?re here." "Oh... Well, there?s a stigma to breastfeeding in our world. I know you said it was normal in the past for the wet nurses to nurse royalty until later, but in our world, it?s seen as really weird to breastfeed past the first birthday... and taboo past the second birthday. Let alone for an eighteen-year-old girl to breastfeed a two-year-old who looks like she must have had her when she was only a sophomore in high school... It?s not fair on Hannah especially," I told her with tears in my eyes. She hugged me. "I don?t think you need to worry as much as you think Sofia. First of all, you are very small for a two-year-old even. Most people would probably assume you were under two if that?s what you?re worried about." I nodded. "Maybe. But still, poor Hannah had a normal life, and all of the sudden she?s like gotten locked into being the teenage mother of a freak." The spank on my bottom made it through the wet diaper with no problems. "You are not a ?freak? and I?d better never ever hear of you saying that again!" I whimpered, "Sorry..." "Okay, tell you what, why don?t we go ahead and pull Hannah in here, maybe that will help both of you." "What about you though?" "What do you mean?" "Aren?t you going to be jealous?" She laughed. "Sweetie, I?m with you twenty-four hours a day, actually more than that because with the day here you actually end up with a thirty-eight-hour day each day, I?ll be fine." She hugged me. "Let?s change that messy diaper and then I?ll leave you to play while I go get Hannah." Caireen laid me down on the ornate table and got to work on changing a disgusting diaper. I never seemed to poop right away in the mornings at home, but in her land, I seemed to be as regular as my sister after dinner. Dinner... Breakfast. ?I guess I did just have a meal, didn?t I?? I sighed as she pinned a new cloth diaper onto me and said, "Feel better now butterfly?" I smirked. "Is that my new nickname?" "Well... one of many. A moment ago, it was Poopy Princess!" I stuck my tongue out at her. "While I?m gone, I want you just to play. No magic practice right now." "Can I use magic to change my dollies clothes?" I asked with a smile. "Well of course, as long as you?re playing!" I giggled as she tickled me and carried me over to the floor and sat me on a rug next to my dollhouse. "I?ll be back - you be good!" I had to laugh at the fact she would leave me alone. I mean how much mischief could a two-year-old get into? Ask my sister... it?s impressive! I must have been really focused on playing because I didn?t hear Hannah come up at all, before she picked me up and threw me up into the air. "Hmm... You?re so light this is easy!" she said as she caught me and threw me again. She held me then and hugged me. "So, this is where you go every night while you sleep?" I nodded. "Isn?t it beautiful?" I paused. "Which way did you come?" "I brought her through the front gates," Caireen said, appearing behind her. "Why don?t we go to the garden and have tea?" "Okay," I said. I wriggled out of Hannah?s arms, grabbed Emie, and said, "Follow me!" Hannah dutifully followed me out to the garden. I had run at my top speed down the stairs, it was kind of terrifying actually, but she hadn?t had any trouble keeping up. As we approached the garden a butler, Benjamin, met us. "Your Highness." He bowed to me. "Your Majesty," he said to Caireen who was also right behind us. "Your table is right over here." He motioned. "Benjamin, this is Hannah," I told him. "Yes, I know," he said, "pleased to meet your acquaintance, right this way." ?That?s weird...? I thought to myself. That was borderline rude. I kept walking on my own behind him and basically had to run three steps to his one as he was very tall. A table with a wooden high chair was dressed with a cloth tablecloth, fine china, silverware, flowers, and a tray of fruit was sitting temptingly. Hannah picked me up and placed me in the high chair before sitting down on one side of me while Caireen sat on the opposite facing each other. "Berries?" Caireen asked me as she put some on a plate and put it on the wooden tray that had been placed onto the chair. "Please," I said. "So, Hannah, I?ve wanted to actually meet you face-to-face for a while now, but this is the first time it was possible for me to pull you in." "Why is that Your Majesty?" Hannah asked politely. "You weren?t bonded to Sofia before. There was no connection for me to really do it like I could with her parents." "Oh," she said and chewed a small piece of apple slowly. "So, am I the same to her now as her parents?" she asked nervously. "Maybe more so," Caireen said gently. "How can I be more connected than them?!?" she said. "I?m just her friend..." "That was true before your change." "Do you know what it did to me?" Hannah pleaded. "All of the mutants that are awakening are having some changes, some like Sofia a lot, some like you won?t be as much physically. Over the next month though I think you?re going to find yourself filling out a bit more up top and getting that model figure many of your kind have. I suspect you?ll look a little bit older, but I don?t think you?re going to age anymore - or at least not as fast as you would if you were normal." "I know the physical stuff, but why did I start lactating?" "When Sofia jumped into your arms, what were you thinking?" she added. "How about just before too? Sofia hasn?t heard your side of the story." Hannah looked like her heart was wrenched as she said, "Well, I was sitting out in the hallway with Lily and Sofia, both of them quite close. I mean if Sofia had gone running down the hallway, I would have caught her and made sure she stayed with me. I swear you were only a couple feet from me!" I nodded. "I was looking down at Lily starting to flip up her dress. I leaned over to push it back down and then I couldn?t believe it when I saw a man grab Sofia and just take off with her." Hannah had tears in her eyes at that point. "I didn?t know what to do! Luckily Sofia?s mom and grandma came out right then, so I handed Lily to them and ran after her. I made it to within sight of the food court and all of the sudden it went from the noisy early dinner sounds to absolute silence." "I heard a lady scream, ?Oh my God, someone call Nine-One-One!? "Followed by another person, ?That baby?s a mutant!?" "And then finally, ?Someone get that baby! It?s a freak of nature!?" "Everyone seemed to be getting in my way as I ran to find you. All of a sudden, I could see you being chased by a dozen men and a couple women. You were running and jumped into my arms." She paused and squeezed my arm gently. "All I could think of was that my baby was safe in my arms and no one was going to take her away again!" ?Uh-oh,? I thought. ?I bet we are stuck together... Or at least she?s stuck to me!? "Suddenly I just felt angry and I pushed my hand out to shove away anyone that might get close." She looked down embarrassed. "I was more than a little shocked when a ball of green light flew out and hit the ground in front of them. It was like a bomb went off... I just kind of collapsed and don?t really remember much except her grandmother helping me to move and run away..." Tears were streaming down her face. "So, what happened to me?" she asked Caireen. "Your BIT locked into the ?my baby? idea Hannah. At that moment it locked into the idea of being the best mother for a baby it could be. Not only that, but it did that with Sofia specifically in mind. That meant your hair had to change, your eyes changed, and realistically I have a feeling your very DNA changed to match hers." "So, I really am her mother now?" "Sort of... Her mom will always be her mom. Normally though a baby grows up and sheds their mother to move on with their life. The mom of course stays in the daughter?s life some, but never forever. In your case I think the two of you will probably be inseparable. You shot that ball of energy out through a method other than magic; I think your people call it a pyrokinesis talent, but you have just enough magic in you that it combined with Sofia?s relief to essentially bind you two together for life." "So even when I grow up?" "Problem is that Sofia will never grow up. She?s eventually going to be shown by me how to change her diapers with magic, but she?s never going to be potty trained." "But why would I need to lactate?!? She?s way too old to breastfeed!!!" "Maybe in your modern world, but I?ve already had this discussion with Sofia. It was common before the last hundred years to breastfeed until babies were four or five. She?s well within that range. Technically they?ve called her about twenty-six months old, but I think twenty-two to twenty-four months is a better guess myself." I nodded myself at this - I kept having a nagging feeling that they inflated my age for my ego. "Anyway, in this world I?ve been nursing Sofia for most of the last week. It helps her magic grow in your world. I?m not sure what your milk may do for her in the real world, but maybe it?ll even help her grow?" "You think we should do that again?" I asked. "I don?t think the two of you really have a choice sweetheart," Caireen said. "Hannah, I have a feeling you will produce milk until you die someday in the distant future. You could use an electric pump, or nursemaid other babies, but why would you want to when you have your own to hold and comfort?" "She?s really basically my daughter then?" "Yes." Hannah sighed and then picked me up from the high chair to hold me. "How often am I going to need to nurse her?" "Well, it?s not like she?s an infant, and that?s all she eats. I would say morning and bedtime for certain. Maybe after lunch and dinner? You?ll probably need to express milk more than that though." I felt Hannah squeeze me. "I?m so never going to live down the teenage mother stares." "Actually, you probably will in the next month. You?re going to start looking older and people may assume you?re actually old enough to have had her when you graduated high school." "Why does she get to grow up and I grow down?" I asked irritatedly. They both laughed at me. Caireen eventually sent Hannah home to her own dreams after telling her that she would be invited to join us from time to time. Her own dreams were important though and she didn?t want to disrupt that every night. Once she was gone Caireen once again nursed me to sleep herself and said, "You have got to be the luckiest baby in the world to have three mommies who love you!" I WOKE UP to Hannah moving around the room. "Sorry, I didn?t mean to wake you Sofia," she said. "It?s okay," I said, "what time is it?" "6:30," she said. "Would you mind?" "Mind?" She blushed. "Nursing from me again?" She paused. "It felt so amazing and right last night." "Look I know we just talked about this, but I guess I feel like I need to set a few ground rules?" She looked almost scared. "Like?" "Can you pick me up out of this crib?" I asked. "Can?t you pull yourself out?" ?Go ahead and try it,? Caireen prodded. I had a bad feeling about that as she almost sounded like she was goading me. I reached up to the rail to pull myself over and leaped, before I found myself on my rear in the crib again. ?What was that?? ?Well, we can?t have the baby getting out of her crib without an adult?s help, can we?? ?Really?? I seethed. ?We are going to talk about this later!? "Apparently I can?t," I told Hannah angrily. She giggled at that, but picked me up and stood me up on the floor. "Umm, can you sit down on the floor across from me?" Hannah sat down and I began. "Okay, I get that for all intents and purposes I am now physically and emotionally connected with you as my mother... but I was eighteen last week AND I?m trying to go ahead and have somewhat of a normal life. If I have to go back a bunch of grades...?" I shuddered. "I don?t want to have the stigma of everyone seeing me breastfeeding." I paused. "I really would like that to stay the deepest darkest secret that no one ever finds out!" Hannah nodded. "I?m okay with that. So... morning, bedtime, and maybe a couple others if we can get back to our room?" "For now, please stick to that." "Okay, what else?" "Okay, I guess I have to accept that my potty training is never going to happen... and I know everyone will figure out I?m in diapers in about two seconds time ? especially when they smell a poopy one. They?re going to probably really just think I am a real baby for the first couple hours I?m guessing... Please don?t just check my diapers though. If you can tell I?m wet, or you guess that I am... say something like will you come to the bathroom with me or something? Or just pick me up?" "What about the poopy diapers?" I groaned. "Like I said, nothing is going to hide those. Just don?t embarrass me please?" "Okay, where may I change you?" I thought for a second. "Well I doubt the bathrooms here will have changing tables for babies, so we?ll have to figure that one out." "You would be okay with me changing you like a normal baby in the bathroom?" She sounded shocked. "And letting the other girls see that?" I shrugged. "I?m probably not going to ever be able avoid that one," I sighed. "They really are the most convenient places for you to change a baby... and unfortunately as much as I hate it... I am a baby." We talked for another few minutes about some rules before she said, "Okay, if we?re going to get ready in time you need to eat now." She picked me up and sat in the rocking chair before exposing her breast to me. With that we began a new routine that didn?t feel awkward or wrong anymore. I was a baby; she was my mother... Okay, I lied, it was still really weird! If my body didn?t seemingly go on autopilot as I nursed, I probably would have been sick. Hannah left to shower, and I began looking at the computer on my toddler sized desk and was ecstatic to see it was perfectly sized for me. It also had the most amazing specs of any computer I had ever seen! I tried to get logged in, but got an ?access denied? screen. I chose to look around the room some more then and opened my closet to look at all of the pretty dresses that were in there. I couldn?t help but notice one that was the exact duplicate in real life of the one from Sofia in the cartoons. I smiled, ?Thanks Caireen.? When Hannah was finished showering, she looked flushed. "What?s wrong?" "Umm... any chance you or Caireen could help me out with a nursing bra and those pad things for leakage?" I nodded. "Caireen had already put those in that drawer last night," I said pointing to one of her white dresser drawers. "Oh, thanks." She wrinkled her nose. "Smells like a poopy princess in here!" She looked at me and said, "Can you wait until after I get dressed?" I nodded. "I guess I?m getting used to it, I hadn?t really noticed." "Of course not, you?re a baby!" she told me with a smile. I watched Hannah get dressed into a simple tunic, and tights, as it was Sunday and the uniform wasn?t required. She quickly put on her makeup and then came over to where I was playing with some dolls, picked me up, and then sat me down on the changing table. "So, what happened with the crib earlier?" I sighed. "Caireen didn?t appreciate that I was able to get out of my crib at home without help. I guess when she created this one, she felt like it needed to be Sofia proof." "Only I can get you out?" "No, any person who?s old enough to take care of me can." She smiled and I looked terrified. "Don?t worry, I?m not mean enough to do that to you." I sighed in relief! "What do you want to wear today?" she picked me up in just my diaper and walked to the wardrobe. "That!" I said pointing to the Sofia dress, not being able to help myself! "That is adorable!!!!!!" she cooed. It came with a ruffled diaper cover that I know Sofia didn?t have in the show, but was cute. Once I was dressed, I decided it was a tiara day, and used magic to put mine on. Just then there was a knock on the door. Hannah set me on the floor on my own two feet and we greeted Esmie again at the door. "Hi," Esmie said. "Umm, may we come in?" "Sure," Hannah said. I watched the three girls? eyes practically pop out of their heads a moment later. "Whoa!" "Pretty!!!!" Esmie said. "Sugar overload!" the third one said. "Esmie this is like your room would be if we let you..." "Pretty much! Except the crib..." Esmie mused. "Hi, I?m Hannah," she said to the other two we hadn?t met yet. "I?m Camille," a girl that was very beautiful and regal said, "I go by my codename Sora a lot though." ?Oh, my Goddess, no way?? Caireen spluttered in my head. ?What?? ?I?ll tell you later, just keep in mind she?s no one to be messed with.? "I?m Sofia," I added down on the lower level. "And I?m Hailey," the oldest girl with dark brown skin said, "codename Sinopa." She looked similar to the Pueblo Indians near my home. "Well, welcome to our room," I said. "Umm... you promised me the story?" Esmie asked. "Oh, and in case you care, my codename is Zing." "We can tell you the story over breakfast?" Hannah suggested. As I looked at her, I could tell she looked like I felt; somehow, we had fallen into the twilight zone! I wasn?t really that hungry, but I?d already had a meal fit for a baby already. "Sure, we need to go that way anyway," Hailey said. "Umm, in case you hadn?t figured it out we?re your tour guides for the morning or day or whatever you need." "Oh, okay," Hannah said. She looked at me and I debated in my head before putting my arms up in the traditional ?pick me up? pose. She held me on her right hip and grabbed the diaper bag to put over her other shoulder. I swore I saw the girl?s eyes bulge even more. Esmie couldn?t help it. "Sofia... umm... how old are you, were you..." "It?s complicated," I said, "I was born eighteen years ago. If you ask a doctor, they?ll say between twenty-four months and thirty months." Esmie and the others waited until we reached a place, they called the Crystal Hall before speaking much more. "Let?s get something to eat for you guys and we?ll talk more?" "Sure," I said. The building itself was beautiful. As we walked into the building, they walked us past some statue that we apparently had to see within the first twenty-four hours of being there. I just shrugged, out of all of the weird things that I?d seen in the past week that didn?t even rate a one. "I?m going to put you down," Hannah told me as we approached the buffet lines. "I can hold my own tray and everything," I reminded her. "We have to get you through the line first," Hailey muttered. "Huh?" I asked. "Don?t mind her... she and a few others have occasionally just had a bad first day here," Esmie said and elbowed her older friend. Hannah handed me a tray and I began having her hand me food onto my plates and tray. I was getting plenty of odd looks as the mound of food that kept growing. I had no problems carrying it of course, but it looked weird to everyone else. At least I was able to drop the baby act sort of for a few moments with this though! I could feel Caireen not necessarily agreeing with that though. ?Please?? I asked. ?This is hard enough!? ?Alright, I?ll agree to similar terms as Hannah. No embarrassing you in front of your classmates if we can help it.? ?Thanks,? I told her. "These two just arrived last night," Camille told the cashier when we got up to the front. "I was given this to give to you for today for them," she added. The cashier looked closely at the cards, swiped them, and then motioned for us to move on. "We?ll sit over here," Esmie told me with a smile. "Umm... do you need like a booster seat or a high chair?" she asked nervously. ?I?ll take care of it,? Caireen said before I could even think to argue. Fortunately for me, for once she simply took one of the chairs and made it taller. There was no tray so it just looked like a bar stool or something. ?Thank you!? I told her, truly gratified. ?You?re welcome. I?m going to demand extra baby time though sometime...? she grumbled. I smirked internally. ?You would want that anyway.? I decided to just climb up myself into the chair. I did it and placed the tray of food in front of me with no major issues. I began eating as the others stared at me in disbelief. "You just mutated last week?" Esmie asked. "Umm... yeah?" "How can you already do magic like that?" she asked. "I didn?t do that one," I told her. "Huh?" I sighed. "I think I probably have a lot in common with Hailey, and probably with Camille too." "Okay... so how about starting from the beginning?" Hailey asked a little tersely. "Well, about a week-and-a-half-ago now I woke up with a fever and felt sick. I ran to the bathroom but didn?t really make it there before I guess I started burning out. My baby sister came out of her room right then and stared at me... I guess I thought something about how nice it would be to be able to be held by Mom again..." I grimaced. "Next thing I know I?m in the hospital looking like this!" "Ouch," Camille said. "So, what about the presence I feel?" Hailey asked then hesitated. I watched her suddenly say some sort of incantation and wave her arms to perform a spell and she said, "Don?t worry about being overheard." I sighed. "I?m an Avatar. A..." I felt a warning from Caireen not to say too much. "being... decided I wasn?t going to survive on my own through the burnout. She decided to help me, but unintentionally ended up bonded with me due to my avatar trait." I was about to answer another question when I heard behind me, "OH MY GOD!!! Whose baby sister? She?s soooooo adorable!!!!!" Suddenly without warning I was picked up in the air by a beautiful blonde girl. I didn?t have any control over it and zapped her with magic out of fear, it was too much like yesterday!!! I instinctively leaped from her and onto the table to face my attacker, preparing to pull at ley lines to strike her. I was momentarily distracted as I suddenly realized how strong the lines ran through the area! I quickly looked back though as the blonde bombshell said, "Ouch!!!!" and shocked me by standing right back up like I?d done nothing to her. "Sorry," I said sheepishly, realizing she was probably harmless. "Not a baby?" she said, surprisingly not even that phased from the shock. I shook my head and shrugged my shoulders. "It?s complicated..." "Lizi, meet Sofia, Sofia, Lizi, or Knag," Camille introduced us while laughing hysterically. I eventually began laughing too and she joined our table and I was back in the chair. "Is the privacy ward still up?" Hannah asked. Camille nodded and I did as well since I could feel it. "That?s part of why Lizi was able to surprise Sofia," she added. I looked embarrassed. "So... where were we?" Hailey asked. "Oh, entity?" I wondered how much I should say with Caireen?s warning, but I decided something about these girls meant I could trust them. "Her name is Caireen, she?s a Celtic goddess." "So, did she cause this...?" Hailey asked suspiciously. "No, she probably saved my life by helping me keep from killing myself during the change. It was a bad burnout ? I finished mutating in about ten minutes time I would guess." "Can?t do anything about the size though?" Lizi asked. "No... Of course, I think she would if she could... but there?s no doubt she enjoys my being a baby." "So how much of a... baby... are you?" Lizi asked gently. I could tell she felt bad about attacking me as a toy doll or something. I sighed and looked over at Hannah before saying, "I?m no longer potty trained... And let?s just say if I get nervous, I really crave having a pacifier in my mouth." "Not to mention sleeping in the cutest nursery eeeevvvver!" Esmie squeaked. I stuck my tongue out at her. "Where did that come from anyway?" Camille asked. "Caireen is apparently the world?s best decorator," I said simply. "So, what can you do?" Lizi asked. "Usually only really powerful mutants change THIS much." I smirked. "Well according to my tests last Monday I?m a Level 5 Avatar, Level 3 Esper, Lever 3 Regen, Level 4+ Wizard, and as you probably guessed, a Level 4 Exemplar." "Holy shit!" Camille said. The others looked at me widely too except Hailey. "I can?t be that unusual?" I asked uncertainly. "Well the Avatar and Wizard traits are. I?m not surprised by it though," Hailey added. The others nodded. Esmie said, "You know you would make the world?s prettiest baby model. The Toddlers and Tiaras kids would have nothing on you!" she said with a smile. "I would love to see that," Lizi said with a big smile. I grimaced. "Somehow I suspect it?ll happen eventually." "What about you Hannah?" Esmie asked. "You two obviously are connected and arrived together?" "I was one of Sofia?s best friends before she changed..." Hannah said, "When the change happened, her parents called me to come babysit her little sister Lily while she and her dad were at the hospital with her. They were really worried she wouldn?t make it..." Hannah shuddered then and chose that moment to pick me up from my chair. I wasn?t done eating my bacon though and audibly whined. She moved my plate in front of her and sat me on her lap with a quick hug. I knew if I wanted to eat, I had better do it while she told her part! "Anyway, because I was already sort of in on it, I was the first person outside of her family that knew about her change. I came and hung out and sort of became the big sister helping out. Especially as Sofia could no longer change Lily?s diapers, let alone her own, her mom appreciated a little bit of help when I came over!" "Why can?t you change your own? Couldn?t you use your magic?" Lizi asked skeptically. I sighed and finished the piece of bacon in my mouth. "Caireen won?t let me do some things yet. She wants me to learn to be a ?normal? baby and be dependent on others for that." She smirked at that. "What else?" "If I?m in my crib I can?t get out by myself... I think that?s mainly it..." I wasn?t about to tell her about my feeding sessions. "Anyway," Hannah continued, helping me out. "I was invited to go with her mom and sister with her to go shopping in Albuquerque yesterday. I was happy to be able to shop, and her mom was happy to have changing duties shared. We went yesterday morning and had some new family pictures done of her and her sister and then saw her grandmother. Later we returned to pick up at the mall. Apparently, the photo studio must have a Humanity First staff member because they had it all planned out to kidnap Sofia when we came back. I was waiting outside with her and her sister when all of the sudden I watched a creep pick her up and run with her..." Hannah told the rest of the story with an occasional input from me here and there. "So anyway," she said as I put the last piece of bacon in my mouth, "they decided it would be a good idea for us to get out of town last night." "Wow," Lizi said. "I?m glad you made it here though," Camille said with a smile. "Well, are you ready to continue the tour?" "Is there a restroom we can stop at first?" Hannah asked. "Sure," Esmie said, "it even has a changing table if Sofia needs changed." Her eyes sparkled and I had a feeling she would love to play with me like a little doll... "Umm..." I started to say. "I?m guessing that she does need changed," Hannah said quietly. "but I agreed to avoid her being too embarrassed by shouting out her diaper changes to the world." I nodded and instinctively found myself leaning back into her protective arms. "Sorry if I embarrassed you," Esmie said. She looked truly embarrassed herself. I sighed. "It?s okay, I?m not sure how this is all going to work. I don?t think there?s any way we can realistically have the same classes. Especially since they want to make me go back several grades..." "I think we can help find some others you can trust," Esmie said with a smile. With that Hannah stood up and put me on her hip. Esmie actually picked up the diaper bag for her and we walked out of the dining hall and made a couple quick turns to the restrooms. Surprisingly they did have a changing table in there. "I need to go first; can you wait to be changed?" Hannah asked me quietly. I nodded. "I didn?t even realize I was wet." Hannah took me into the stall with her like you would do with a real baby and I turned to not watch the sight of her using the glorious porcelain throne I would kill to be able to use. Without realizing it I had stuck my thumb in my mouth while she was going. "Does your thumb taste good?" she asked with a smile as she stood up. I pulled it out, grimaced at the slobber, and shook my head. "Ugh! I didn?t even notice..." She opened the stall door and I followed her to the changing table. Hannah wiped it down with a baby wipe before setting me on top of it. I lay there patiently as she pulled the diaper cover down, lifted my dress, and then proceeded to quickly change my diaper. Amazingly the only girls who were in there at all were the four new friends we had made. I turned red when I realized Esmie was watching my change, but so did she when she realized she was watching, so I knew it wasn?t intentional. Hannah washed her hands and held me up to wash mine before I said, "So where to next?" "The tour!" Esmie said. From there on we were shown the campus. We had to stop by the artwork of a rich super villain benefactor that gave me the creeps. They explained to us that every student had to see the bust within the first twenty-four hours of their stay there for him to maintain his donations. From there we walked to the areas we would have classes. "There are so many stairs..." I whined. "What?s the big deal about stairs?" Hailey asked. "When you?re tiny they?re a pain... and kind of scary," I told her honestly. Esmie giggled. "We can find someone to carry you if Hannah isn?t there..." I just groaned. We were done with the tour by eleven and back at Poe. "We?re going to head to our room for a bit and settle in," Hannah said to them downstairs. "No problem," Camille said. "Lunch starts in an hour and then you have your meeting with Mrs. Carson." "Okay," I said for the both of us. Hannah carried me upstairs, unlocked our room, and then closed it behind us. She carried me and sat directly into the rocking chair. "Umm..." I looked at her face and noticed she was a bit red. "Do you think...?" "It?s time for lunch?" I smiled at her. "You?re already feeling full?" I asked. "You have no idea," Hannah complained. "This is the weirdest feeling ever..." "Well get your clothes out of the way," I jokingly grabbed at the top of her top. "You really don?t mind?" she asked hesitantly. "We?ve been over this Hannah. Yes, it?s extremely weird for me to see the breasts of my best friend... and it?s even weirder to start sucking on them and then lose complete track of myself... but we both know you need it..." I squirmed. "And I can?t say it?s unpleasant." She hugged me and kissed my forehead. "Thank you!" Hannah fumbled for a minute to pull down her top and the cup of her bra. When she was done, I just leaned in and began suckling again. As I nursed, she patted my back and played with my hair a little bit. I realized that her first breast was empty only when she stroked my chin and got me to release that nipple. My nursing of her other breast was just as natural and before I knew it she was burping me like an infant. Embarrassingly I felt myself spit up some milk onto the towel that she had thoughtfully placed on her shoulder! "Full?" she asked me. I shrugged. "It?s weird... Yes and no?" She hugged me and carried me over to the changing table where she quickly changed me again. Only when she said, "What a stinky baby!" did I realize I had pooped and not even realized it. I just started crying. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Chapter 9: A Baby ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ HANNAH HELD ME and cuddled me for a long while before I managed to regain control from bawling my eyes out. When I was finally nearly calmed down, and merely hiccoughing she asked, "What?s wrong Sofia?" I shook my head and said, "I didn?t," I hiccoughed, "even," hiccoughed, "know I had..." She hugged me tight. "It?s okay," she reassured me. "No, it?s not!" I said with fresh tears starting to fall. "Yes, it is Sofia, you?re a baby. Why should you know or care that you?ve gone?" "Because I?m not, I?m eighteen!!!" I bawled into her shoulder. "Not all of the time Sofia," she reminded me. "And I think when you nurse you become more of a baby than at any other time," I looked up at her and she looked guilty, "which is why we don?t have to..." I shook my head. "You need it..." I sighed. "And I guess I need it too." She sat down in the rocking chair with me for a while longer before she said, "You feeling up to going to the dining hall for me to get some food?" "You only?" I asked. "Well, you already had lunch," she said while poking my nose. I stuck my tongue out at her! She responded by tickling my side for a few moments, before setting me down on the floor and went to the bathroom down the hall. I decided I couldn?t sit there moping any longer. I walked over to the new computer that was sitting there for me and was sad when it required login information I didn?t have yet. With nothing better to do I walked over to the toy chest and opened it. I could see it was filled with a variety of toys, from being infant or toddler appropriate, all the way to normal Lego sets. There was clearly more magic at work inside as it was holding a lot more than it should have been able to! I picked up a brand-new box of Legos that were Disney Princess themed and examined the picture. It was supposed to be a castle, and featured bright colors that were definitely supposed to be girly. Before I could open it up though, Hannah walked in and laughed. "You always have liked your Legos." "It?s kind of cute," I said holding it up to her. "Isn?t it a bit old of a toy for your age," she teased me. "Caireen must not think so since she put it in the toy box," I said with a smile. Hannah replied, "Well, I guess if she?s okay with it... you can play later?" I smiled. "Okay!" She grabbed my diaper bag and looked inside it really quick to see if it still had everything she needed. I watched as she grabbed a couple more diapers and an empty bottle to put inside of it, before zipping it up and throwing it over her shoulder. "Come here Princess," she told me. I put my arms up and she carried me off to lunch. Once again, I filled a plate and ate more than you would expect, but it wasn?t as much since I was feeling slightly fuller from my ?other? lunch. We sat with Esmie and a couple of her other friends for the meal. They were all intrigued by me and I was grateful Hannah picked me up and held me after a while. She was like a mother bear with her cub in body language. and everyone with a brain could see it. "Well, what do we have here?" I heard an obnoxious voice behind us. "We?ve found ourselves a new easy piece of tail boys!" Hannah and I turned in our seats to see three high level exemplar boys that just looked too handsome to be human. I knew a bully when I saw one. "So sure of that, boys?" I asked. "I?d be happy to kick your tails back to the other side of Crystal Hall." They looked a little stunned to see the little baby talking back at them. "What the hell?!?" "Get the hell away from them Ewe," Esmie said behind us. "What? It?s obvious that she?s a teenage mom slut? She?ll be doing all of us before..." I?d had enough... I didn?t really know what I was doing, but I hopped down from Hannah?s lap and walked straight towards him. I jumped into the air and did a spinning kick at his groin. Sadly, he didn?t go down like I had hoped. He did however look stunned. "You little bitch... if you weren?t a baby..." "Is there something going on here?" a man in a security uniform asked behind him. "Yes," Esmie said, "these jerks were just bullying our friend here. Then they attempted to attack a baby!" I internally laughed at that... since it was definitely a lie. "What have we told you Ewe?!?" the guard asked. "Come on, let?s go talk to the Chief." "But the baby kicked me!" "That innocent looking toddler?" he asked incredulously. "Even if she did, what could she do to a big brick like you?" I fumed in my head that apparently the answer was not much. I watched as they were led away and Camille came up. "We need to get you to your meeting with Mrs. Carson." Hannah sighed behind me. "I knew this was going to happen..." she muttered. I walked back over to her and hugged her leg. A moment later I was picked up from behind by Esmie, and had to fight not to attack her again. I did catch myself though! "You are soooo light!" she said. "Really?" Camille asked. "Here," she said and passed me to Camille. "Oh, my goddess, you don?t weigh anything! How is that even possible with all of the food I just saw you eat?" I stuck my tongue out at her and ended up finding myself holding onto her side like a toddler looking at Hannah. "Are you okay?" I mouthed. She nodded. We walked to the administration building and were shown where the offices were. Because it was a Sunday, only Mrs. Carson seemed to be in for our special appointment. She motioned the two of us in and said, "Thanks for helping them find my office ladies, I?ll make sure they make it back to Poe later." Camille sat me down on the ground after a quick hug. They closed the door, leaving Hannah and I alone with Mrs. Carson. She pointed to two chairs in front of her desk. "Would you please have a seat?" I moved to sit down in my own chair, but noticed that Hannah still didn?t look alright. I found myself standing in front of her with my arms up. She smiled and picked me up into her lap and turned me to face Mrs. Carson while she kept her arms loosely around me. Mrs. Carson smiled. "I have to say Sofia, you are the cutest student on campus... maybe ever." I blushed but mumbled. "thanks." "Okay, you two unfortunately have been through the wringer this weekend. I wouldn?t normally want to bring in new students mid- semester, but you won?t be the last we?ve had to take in on short notice like this. We have this week and then our Thanksgiving Break, and then basically semester finals start up pretty soon after that." I felt Hannah shudder as much as I did. "I don?t know that we?ll ever be able to catch up that fast..." "I don?t know about that Sofia. With your new memory I bet you can pick up on the coursework in a couple days. But this is the bigger issue, I don?t know for certain that you both can. That?s why I think it?s best to go ahead and move you both back to your Freshman year." "Wait, you?re not going to put me back in middle school after all?" I said both stunned and relieved. She shook her head. "After looking at your transcripts I think that would be a mistake... plus I get the feeling there is no way we can separate you and Hannah down the road. Our best bet is just to move you both to the same grade. I don?t think Hannah would be happy back in eighth grade either." I felt Hannah squeeze me. "Not especially... It?s bad enough going back three grades..." I could tell she was choked up in her voice. "Do I have to go back that far too?" I watched Mrs. Carson shrug. "With you missing half of this year, I think it?s for the best." I noticed her language indicated that the subject was now closed. "So, what now?" I asked. "Well in the next couple days we?re going to get you both tested for your powers here. We?ll of course send Hannah?s results back to Los Alamos to backtrack the MMID she was given last night." "Me too?" "Yes, while I think Los Alamos probably tested you better than most of the MCO testing locations, we always check new students again to be sure nothing was missed. We have far better personnel and facilities for it here." "Yes Ma?am," I answered. "Then after that?" Hannah asked. "After that we?ll get your schedules organized," She paused to take a sip of tea from a cup in front of her. "That leads me to my next question. Is it possible for you two to be separated?" "Why wouldn?t it be?" I asked. "Well... your needs for one?" she suggested softly. "It?ll depend on who is in her classes, I guess. If it?s a friendly face we can have them help her out," Hannah suggested. "You mean someone else changing me...? A babysitter?!?" My voice raised a bit. Hannah hugged me tightly. "Sofia, yes, I?m saying a babysitter to help might be wise in those cases," Hannah added. "At least until Caireen unblocks your ability to magic yourself into a clean diaper." I sighed. ?How long is this going to have to go on until you let me reclaim some dignity?!?? I could feel Caireen?s smirk. ?Until it no longer bothers you.? ?So forever?? ?I?d say a month to six months depending on how hard you keep fighting it.? I fought tears coming out of my eyes and could see Mrs. Carson staring at me and feel Hannah?s stare from above me. "I?m alright, I?m just frustrated." "Well we could have you just take the same classes all the time..." Mrs. Carson started. "No, we need to take the classes that apply to us, and Sofia needs to get used to playing baby every now and then as needed," Hannah said from above me. The way she said it... "That sounds like something a mother would say," Mrs. Carson said with a smile. This time it was Hannah?s turn to blush. "Umm..." "It?s okay, remember I know the two of you bonded. Hannah you changed only yesterday, have you noticed anything else about your mutation?" "Well... Umm..." She squirmed and stammered for several moments before I just decided to do the toddler thing and blurted it out for her. "She?s lactating." Mrs. Carson?s eyebrow raised. "Lactating? How much?" "Enough that after that I?m already full again after two hours or so..." "Full again?" She looked at us both. I sighed. "I nursed from her to help." "Well that?s different... Sofia, do you feel a need to nurse from Hannah?" I shook my head. "It?s soothing, but I don?t have to do it." "But Hannah, I?m assuming you feel a need to nurse her?" I could feel her body move as she nodded her head and squeezed me tighter. "When she?s nursing it?s like... it?s like I?m complete. As I get fuller it gets painful until she?s nursed it from me." "You could just use a breast pump?" Mrs. Carson suggested in a calm voice. Hannah shrugged. "I guess." I sighed. "It?s not like she?s the first person to nurse me," I told her. Mrs. Carson?s eyebrows raised further than they had before. "Caireen nurses me in the dreamland we meet each night..." I ended up telling her more about Caireen and the castle I spend my second day each day. "So, I guess nursing from Hannah isn?t really any different for me," I told her. "Well... just when you think you?ve seen it all..." she practically muttered to herself. "I see no real issue with it except that Hannah if you?re already full two hours later you may need to still think about pumping some if Sofia isn?t going to be around then." "Yes ma?am," she said. "You should be able to store that milk and can send it with Sofia in her diaper bag to have when you?re in separate classes." "Umm..." I started. "I don?t have to have her milk in class. And do I really have to have a diaper bag in each class? Couldn?t I just carry a couple changes in my backpack?" We must have spent an hour more going over procedures to Mrs. Carson?s satisfaction, and to mine for minimizing my embarrassment as we went on. As the meeting drew to a close. "Hannah dear, you?re starting to leak it looks like." "Oh no!" she cried from behind me. "It looks like three hours is about as much as you?ll be able to wait. Why don?t you go ahead and nurse Sofia in here while I see about getting you a pump and write a few more notes down." "In here?" We both asked together. I was sure our reddened faces matched. "You can use my couch over there dear," she said and pointed to the couch. "Don?t worry about covering up, as far as I?m concerned breastfeeding a baby is a perfectly natural thing." I think we both must have turned even redder, as this was anything but natural for us, but Hannah moved over to the suggested couch and I nursed until she was empty. Hannah burped me, and said, "Thank you." I looked at her and said, "It?s private enough I guess..." Mrs. Carson asked, "Tummy all full?" I shook my head. "I don?t think I?m ever full... It?s more that she?s finally empty." She looked thoughtfully at us. "Well, I?m assuming you?re trying to be discrete with this need of yours Hannah. We?ll try and schedule your classes so that you two can get a chance together for this every few hours. I ordered a pump to be delivered to your room, it should be there by tonight. I recommend you at least try it and make sure you can pump. For all we know it only works with a baby... or even just Sofia." "Oh..." Hannah said. "I hadn?t even thought about that." Mrs. Carson shrugged. "We?ve seen so many weird things over the years that anything is possible. For now, please keep in mind that unless it?s Sofia, it?s probably not wise for you to feed your milk to anyone else or their babies. I think we need to have your milk tested tomorrow as one of the many things they?ll be checking." "Okay," she said simply. "So, what do we do now?" I asked. "Well, I think tomorrow you?ll be done quicker than Hannah on most of the tests, but it?ll probably take until Tuesday for you both to be done. You both need uniforms still I think..." "Caireen took care of that for both of us actually," I told her. "Really?" I nodded. "Well, she does seem to help you both out quite a bit. I?ll be curious to see when you learn how to do all of this on your own. I suspect you?re going to be very powerful in a short amount of time Sofia." I shrugged. "How much power can a baby really have?" "A lot," she said with a smile. "I would be willing to bet that within the next week you?ll have recruiters from the CIA and FBI trying to get you to go ahead and join up to help them." "Why?" "What?s more innocent than a baby?" she asked. "You?re the perfect spy." "Oh..." I said. That was true. ?Yes, it is,? Caireen said, ?it?s why I think you can help so many children.? ?What?? ?Just think about how much of a help you could be in an investigation where children normally can?t answer questions?? ?But I?d be dealing with...? ?Yes, but then some innocent child might be spared from some monster.? "Sofia, are you still there?" Mrs. Carson asked nervously. "Yes ma?am, sorry, sometimes Caireen and I have conversations..." "The voices in her head literally do talk to her!" Hannah said and I turned my head to stick my tongue out at her. "So, Sofia, do you want me to let any of those recruiters through?" I sighed and thought for a moment about what Caireen had said... She was right. "I?d be okay with seeing the FBI ones." She nodded. "It?s a more worthy path I think too." I just nodded back. "Well, do you need anything else right now?" she asked us. "I think we?re good," Hannah said, "Caireen took care of everything. I think we still need access to the computer systems and such though, and student IDs?" Mrs. Carson nodded. "Here is a packet for each of you that has your temporary ID and information on the network. You need to change your temporary passwords when you first login," She handed Hannah two large manila envelopes that she put in the diaper bag beside us. "Well, if that?s all you two can think of too I think you probably need to go change a stinky diaper." "Huh?" I said. "Again?" I groaned. Hannah just answered by picking me and the bag up and walked down the hallway. "That bathroom down the hall has a changing table for her," Mrs. Carson pointed. I started to tear up, and sniffled quietly. Hannah patted my back gently as she carried me down the hallway. The bathroom was empty when we arrived and she pulled down the changing table, wiped it off, placed my changing mat down, and then had me buckled down. Just as she did so I began to start crying out loud. As she changed me, she said, "I think you need this right now Sofia," and put a pacifier in my mouth. My sobs were muffled as I nursed on it, and she pulled my dress up and away from my bottom to get to my messy diaper. It was a few minutes of work for her to fully clean up my messy bottom before she had me re- diapered and dressed. Hannah picked me up and continued patting my back, but I still wasn?t calming down. "I don..." I hiccoughed, "know..." I gasped, "why... I... can?t..." In the process my pacifier fell from my mouth, but she managed to catch it. ?What?s wrong with me?? I called out to Caireen. ?Shh... Hannah will get you sorted out...? She reassured me. Instead of carrying me outside and back to our dorm, Hannah sat down on a bench inside the lobby and pulled a bottle from the diaper bag. It was full of juice that she held to my lips and I instinctively suckled. Initially I couldn?t even focus on nursing, then as time went on, I calmed and continued to nurse. By the time it was empty I was almost fully calmed down. Hannah placed my pacifier back in my mouth, and said, "I guess we need to get back to the room and put you down for your nap, huh?" I couldn?t do much more than shrug as she carried me across campus. It never occurred to me to be nervous about being seen nursing a pacifier, until we were already in our room and Hannah was taking my clothes off and changing a now slightly wet diaper. "All of those other students!" I said, suddenly turning red. "It?s okay Sofia," she told me, "you?re a two-year-old, it looks normal!" I squirmed a bit as she wiped my bottom. "So, what happened?" "I honestly don?t know. My mind completely went into a meltdown." "I?m guessing you needed a nap..." "But I?m eighteen!" "Not body wise, in fact I?m beginning to think you may not even be fully the two they put on your card." "But..." "It?s okay Sofia," she said as she dressed me in a cute romper. "No one minds." "But our classmates..." "Will call you a baby?!?" she asked with a smirk. I nodded as I turned red. "Guess what, you are one!!!" She poked my nose to take the sting out of it and began tickling my side a little. "Not only that, but you?re one of the cutest baby girls anyone has ever seen!" "I?m not that cute..." "Uh-huh you are. But you?re also a cute little baby girl that needs to take a nap before we go get your din-din." I sighed. She hugged me tightly, kissed my forehead, and then placed me down into my crib. "Now be a good girl for me and take a nap!" She placed a pacifier back in my mouth and pushed me onto my back. Esmie was placed into my hands and I was quickly asleep. USUALLY WHEN I napped, I didn?t go to Caireen?s castle, but today I was there just as soon as I closed my eyes. "Oh, look at the little baby princess all awake!" Caireen cooed at me. I looked up at her and was ready to tell her to buzz off, I felt stupid enough already, but I noticed there were some other people in the room with her. She picked me up out of my crib and carried me straight over to the couch. "Pardon me, she always needs to be fed when she wakes up..." she apologized to a husband and wife who were elegantly dressed. I had just noticed a boy who was about seventeen sitting next to his dad, before she unceremoniously popped her breast out, and pushed my head towards it. I couldn?t see anyone now, so I listened carefully for clues on what was going on. "So, King Camulus, what do we owe the pleasure of your visit today?" "I?m here because of your daughter here. She seems like she would be an excellent mate for my son here, and I would like to arrange for their marriage." I stopped suckling and tried to pop my head away from her breast, only to have her hold me there. "I?m sorry, but as much as Maponus is liked by me, I will not arrange Sofia?s marriage. Especially not as long as she remains a baby and the man is old enough to be her father." "I could help fix that," the woman said. "Yes Damara, I?m sure you could. I?m sure you could also have her carrying our grandson within a week if that was what you desired, and if I would let you. However, for at least the foreseeable future, I believe it is in Sofia?s best interest to just be my baby girl." "You don?t want to have me unhappy with you Caireen," the man said. "On the contrary, I don?t care. You don?t want to mess with a mother and her baby. I would not hesitate to destroy you and your lands." "You hold nothing on me, I?m..." "I know who you are. I also know you have outstayed your welcome." I heard the bell that she rang while I continued to nurse a now empty breast. "Please see our noble guests from the castle." "Yes, Your Majesty." Once I heard the footsteps walk away, I pulled my head away from Caireen?s breast. She stroked my hair gently. "What just happened?" "What just happened is the biggest reason for you to stay a baby. You don?t have to worry about me being forced to arrange your marriage." "How could I even be married here?" Caireen sighed. "Sofia, you don?t realize this yet, but you are part of a world much grander than you can imagine. There has always been violence in your world, and plenty of it has been on children, but it seems like in the recent past it has grown worse. By staying a baby, you can make a difference! The real problem in this world, is that if you grew up, then you would be honor bound to take one of those marriage offers." "But then I would have to have kids?" "Yes, and be a dutiful queen to a husband who would claim our lands by his right of marriage." I shuddered. "Sofia, I think you?re beginning to see that there has to be another side to you. You are a baby, at least part of the time. And, that has to come out in the real world. When you were at home you were playing with your baby sister and never even realized you were getting baby time each day. Now that you?re here at Whateley, you?re going to have to get some in still." "But how can I go to school?" Caireen shushed me and patted my back. "Easy, you accept that at times you?re going to be able to be your normal teenage self. At others you?re going to randomly breakdown into tears and tantrums appropriate to a baby." "But I don?t..." "It?s not like anyone is going to think that odd sweetie. In fact, it?s more disconcerting to people when you constantly pretend to be the same age as Hannah." I thought about that as she bounced me softly in her arms. After a while she sat me down into a cradle and gently rocked the cradle with magic while she sang a soothing lullaby. "COME ON SLEEPYHEAD," Hannah said to me gently while picking me up out of my crib. I looked at her and felt really embarrassed. "What?s wrong Sofia?" "What?s not...?" "Well I can?t know what?s bugging you until you tell me?" I sighed. "I?m a baby." "Duh!" she said and tickled my side as she lay me down on the changing table. "You don?t get it!" I said around the pacifier that I realized was in my mouth. I pulled it from my mouth and would have thrown it across the room if it wasn?t clipped to my romper. "I?m never going to grow up," I said with tears in my eyes. "Even if I could it would cause problems..." "Shh..." Hannah told me as she unbuttoned the buttons down the middle of the crotch of my romper. "I?m never going to stop needing to feed babies..." she reminded me. "so what?s so bad about being a baby to help me out with that?" I glared at her. "I?ll never be able to be on my own... or control my emotions..." I started bawling again as she quickly took the wet diaper off of me, wiped me gently and put a new diaper on me. She proceeded to sit down in the rocking chair and presented me with her breast in an attempt to calm me down. Sadly, it apparently worked on me as well as an infant. By the time she had finished having me nurse on both breasts I was calm again. "I can?t believe I?m such a baby... I can?t even control myself..." She smiled at me and said, "Okay, so you can?t. What?s the big deal?" "What?" "You?re a baby. No one expects you to!" "But..." "Sofia, you wondered why Caireen won?t let you change your diapers with magic? It?s because she knows until you accept that you are a baby, and relax into that role, you?re never going to be ready to move on past this in life." "I..." "Don?t tell me you accept this, you don?t. If you did you wouldn?t have a problem in the world with having your pacifier in your mouth as we walk around campus." "Hann..." "And you wouldn?t have a problem in the world with me feeding you dinner..." "But..." "But nothing! Sofia, you have more power magically than most mutants. You need to accept that with that power you had some tradeoffs. We?re not going to make you play baby games all day, but you need to accept that your brain is rewired to where it is a lot like a normal baby?s!" "I don?t want to though..." She hugged me tight. "Sofia, I don?t want to have breasts that make it to where if I don?t have you nurse every couple of hours, I?m in pain. I didn?t want to change from being a normal girl who liked to babysit... to this... but it is what we have to deal with." I found myself nodding. "Okay, you?ve had the first part of your dinner. Ready to get the solid part of it?" I nodded and looked thoughtfully at the pacifier hanging on my chest. I sighed and placed it in my mouth. "Good girl," Hannah said with a smile as she stood up. "Hi Sofia!" a couple of girls cooed as we passed them. I sighed and waved at them. "They don?t even notice me..." Hannah said, sounding slightly annoyed. I pulled my pacifier out of my mouth. "I?d be happy to let you wear the diapers and suck on the pacifier." She unceremoniously plopped it back in my mouth and said, "No thanks." When we got to the Crystal Hall, she sat me down on the ground and told me. "Stay close please, I?ll get you a tray going." Amidst the students meandering around it didn?t take a lot for me to obey that order. I definitely was feeling my lack of height as a monstrous twelve-foot-tall dragon like creature nearly trampled me. "Sorry about that," said her husky female voice. I found myself practically grabbing onto Hannah?s skirt then! She smiled at me, and handed me a tray, before we walked down the lines to get our meal. I ended up pretty much deciding on some chicken alfredo pasta and a couple pieces of pizza. Well, maybe it was more like six slices... Who was counting though? As we approached the end of the line the lady said, "Why aren?t you just the cutest little thing," to me. To Hannah she asked, "Do you have a guest pass for her meal?" "No Ma?am she doesn?t, but I have a temporary student ID," I said with a smile and let the pacifier dangle from where it was clipped on my romper. The lady?s eyes narrowed for a moment, but motioned for me to hand it to her. She swiped it and said, "You all manifest younger and younger all the time." I nodded. She didn?t know the half of it! Hannah?s card was swiped too and we began walking to the table we sat at the past couple of meals. Camille was already there. Just as we were about to reach the table a girl came up to us. "Why if it isn?t our very own Teen Mom and her bundle of joy?!?" The girl had hair that was unnaturally blonde. It had some sort of shimmer to it that made me wonder what was up with her. ?Watch yourself, she?s got a lot of magic built up,? Caireen warned. "Why if it isn?t yet another wannabe blonde bimbo Hannah?" I said to her. "I mean, obviously if she thinks you?re my mommy she?s hoping you can give her some tips on getting knocked up. Too bad you?re still a virgin and not my mommy." "I know Sofia," she sighed. "Such a shame that some girls have to fake their hair color." The blonde girl looked at us both before saying, "Why don?t you go find a high chair for her?" "I don?t need one right now, thanks," I told her. "Now why don?t you go away. I don?t really want us to get in trouble on our first day here." "You better watch yourself you little snot!" I thought for a moment and couldn?t help myself. I performed a spell and changed her panties into something more fitting her behavior. "Okay, you?re right, I don?t think you?re the teen mom type. I think you might want to go check your diaper though." I smirked at her. "What?!?" It was hysterical as she suddenly grasped that she no longer had panties under the short miniskirt she was wearing. Normally she would never have flashed her underwear, but as she ran away everyone could see the abnormally large sized pamper on her. "Sofia Elizabeth!" Hannah said to me. I looked up at her and saw her smirking. "What?" I said. "She was so upset I was worried she would have an accident." Camille and the other girls sitting at the table just laughed hysterically and a few other tables around us erupted in applause. "So how much trouble am I going to get in?" I asked Camille once I was in my tall chair. "From the school? Nothing. That?s a harmless prank around here." She giggled. "And from that girl?" "Well that girl is known as Streaked," she smirked. "I think you could say you?re on her bad side," Camille said. Another girl down on the end. "Yeah, you might be careful as I know she?ll be looking for revenge." I laughed. "What?s she going to do? Diaper me? Embarrass me?" "I don?t know, but I would watch yourself. She?s got a temper," Camille told me. She then started giggling. "But that was totally awesome!" We ate dinner together and enjoyed laughing about the bully. I found out her real name was Gemma, and I couldn?t blame her for wanting to go by a code name. At the end of dinner, I asked, "What now?" "Well, we were thinking about watching a movie?" Camille suggested. "Assuming you?re allowed to be awake that late?" I stuck my tongue out at her. "I don?t have the sleep pattern of a baby," I informed her. "Careful a little birdy will get that tongue," she smiled back at me and then shoved the dangling pacifier back in my mouth. I turned red and glared. She just laughed at me. Hannah actually let me walk beside them on my own legs as we went back to Poe. Well, for me it was almost a jog though to keep up! I had been short before, but this was way worse! "We?re going to go to the common room to watch the movie," Camille told us. "We?ll be right there; we just need to take care of something." "Oh, does Sofia need a change? Can I do it?" she practically pleaded. Hannah looked at me as if, ?It?s up to you.? ?Say yes,? Caireen told me. ?Why?? ?Be a good girl and say yes, I?ll make it worth your while later,? she bribed. I sighed and nodded at Hannah who handed me over to Camille. She followed Hannah carrying me to our room. Once Hannah was sure Camille knew where everything was she said, "I?m going to the bathroom really quick, I?ll be right back." I was suddenly alone without a family member... or pseudo-family member for the first time in several weeks and couldn?t deny I was nervous. Camille smiled at me though and said, "Can I treat you like my little sister?" "How old is she?" "She just turned three... I think Mom was planning on potty training her this month..." she said, almost sad she was missing something. I sighed. "Sure." She squealed and I then endured two minutes of her playing with me on the changing table, before she actually got around to pulling the snaps apart on my romper. She gently wiped me and changed my very soaked diaper. Camille seemed to have as much fun changing me as Lily did with her dolls. Before long she surprised me by pulling my romper over my head. "What are you doing?" I asked nervously. "Well, we?re going to go watch a movie and then I figure it?ll be time for bed, right?" I grimaced, but nodded. "Well then, shouldn?t you get your jammies on?" "Fine," I said rolling my eyes. She looked through the drawers of my dresser and oohed and ahhed non- stop before deciding on a one-piece blanket sleeper with a picture of Merida on it. She unzipped it all the way to the foot and dressed me mostly lying down before having me sit up. By the time she was finished I was red with embarrassment, but I said, "Thanks." She picked me up and hugged me and I couldn?t deny that it felt good. "Can I baby-sit you occasionally?" I looked at her and noticed she was almost teary eyed. "I really miss my sister..." "What?s her name?" "Cassidy," she said. I nodded. "Maybe you?ll be in some of the same classes as me if Hannah isn?t. I know you?re more likely to be since you are a magic user too..." She squealed and said, "Yay!!!" She bounced me for a moment and then said, "So do you have a doll or a bear you want to take with you to the movies?" I pointed at Emie and she picked her out of my crib and held her out to me. "She?s pretty!" Camille cooed. "I love her dress. Do you have jammies for her that you want to change her into though so she can join the party?" I wanted to get annoyed with her, but a part of me knew that she was absolutely correct, Emie needed pajamas to join in. I looked down at myself and then pictured the same on Emie. A moment later she was wearing an exact copy of my pajamas. "Aww!" Camille said. "You two look so cute together!!!" She was walking around the room holding me when Hannah finally came back from the bathroom. I noticed a problem a moment later. "Umm Hannah..." "What?" "You?re... ummm..." "You?re leaking," Camille said with a little bit of shock. Hannah burst into tears all of the sudden and I found myself jumping at her to hug her. Camille was there a second later. "It?s okay Hannah," she soothed alongside me. A few moments later she said, "How can I show my face?" "Sofia isn?t yours, right?" Hannah shook her head. "I?m still a virgin. When I mutated my BIT locked into being a mother for her though." "So, you lactate?" Hannah simply nodded. "Do you need to pump now?" "Or..." I said. Hannah looked at me like, ?Do you want her to know?? "Or...?" Camille asked. "I guess I need to nurse," I said simply. "Hannah, how are you building up so much milk though?" I groaned as she carried me to the rocking chair. "I don?t know, I guess I?ll ask the doctors tomorrow. Are you sure you want to do this right now? I mean you just had a meal. I could pump now and..." "Just feed me already, you know my appetite never stops." I could tell Hannah must have been uncomfortable because it didn?t take her long to bare her breast to me and push my head towards it. As I nursed it was quiet for a moment before Camille asked, "What?s it feel like?" I could almost feel Hannah smile above me. "Well for one it?s a relief to get it out. It?s like needing to go to the bathroom almost when I?m full... unfortunately that doesn?t seem to take more than a couple hours it seems," she sighed. "No, how about...?" Hannah breathed deep and said, "It?s probably the most amazing feeling you could ever feel. Sofia feels like she is my baby and it?s so amazing to know that she?s getting part of what she needs from me..." She paused and patted my back a bit. "It also feels good in a weird way as she nurses..." I could practically feel her skin turn red as she blushed then. "Don?t worry, I won?t tell the others about this," Camille assured her. Hannah sighed. "I?m not sure I?ll be able to hide it from them. Everyone obviously is all too close to keep it a total secret, since I know there?s no way I will never leak. If anyone asks, I?m just pumping it and they?re taking it to study, okay?" "Sounds good to me." Camille got quiet for a while and after I was switched to Hannah?s other breast, she burped me and Hannah asked, "So you sleepy yet?" I shook my head. "Nursing doesn?t make me as sleepy here as it does in Caireen?s world." "Well I guess let?s go watch this movie." I nodded and Hannah handed me off to Camille. "You want to take her on out there? I need to change my bra and top..." "Why not just change into your jammies like Sofia?" she suggested sweetly. "I?ll go change too," she added. "You want to stay here or come with me?" she asked. I looked at Hannah. "It?s okay, you can trust her," I found myself snuggling into her grip and said, "Okay." Camille shoved Emie back into my grip, pushed a pacifier in my mouth, and carried me down the hallway to her room. Camille sat me down on her bed and quickly stripped and changed her clothes into her own set of pajamas. All the while I had to admit that it was disappointing that I didn?t feel any sort of excitement at seeing the cute girl naked. ?I wonder if I would feel anything for a naked guy...?? I thought morosely. ?I don?t think so,? Caireen said. ?You?re a baby.? ?So, I guess I?m never going to have sex?? She remained silent, which meant probably a big fat no. ?Being a baby, sucks!? I told her. I could feel a mental hug from her. ?You will find many more comforts in life Sofia. Just be patient, you have a very long life ahead of you.? Camille finished dressing into a cute footie pajama set of her own and smiled at me for a second, before frowning. "What?s wrong?" I sighed. "Two weeks ago I would have killed to have seen you like I just did..." I saw Camille nod. "I?ve been there, I understand. I... changed a lot too." I grasped the fact that she too used to be a boy then. "No, it?s worse than just not being turned on by you Camille... I... Imagine you never would be turned on by anyone?" With that I saw a lightbulb go on in Camille?s head and she quickly picked me up and hugged me. I didn?t cry over it, but I certainly was sad about it. ?At least Lily will eventually be able to give my parents the grandkids I?ll never give them...? "It?s okay Sofia," she said to me softly. "Come on, let?s get out to the movie and back to Hannah!" I nodded and she carried me down the hall while I held my doll too. In the common room there was a gigantic flat screen TV the size of the wall itself, hammocks, and other comfy looking seating areas. "Wow, this is great!" I mentioned to Camille as she sat down on a couch next to another girl and shifted me to her lap. "Yeah, this was all started by the Kimbas back in 2007 or so... each year it?s been added to," a new girl said that I hadn?t met. She looked Hispanic, but also seemed to have a... ?wiriness? about her demeanor. I dropped my pacifier from my mouth. "Hi, I?m Sofia," I said politely. The girl looked at me and shook her head. "Whateley gets stranger every day! I?m Volango." "Monkeys?" She laughed. "That?s my code name, my actual name is Beth. I discovered I climb really well." "And she loves bananas!" Camille added. Hannah came in right then and sat on another couch. I looked at her as if to ask if it was okay to be on someone else?s lap, she nodded discreetly. She had her pajamas on along with what I assumed was a new bra. I sighed, ?I?m going to have to nurse like every other hour to keep her comfortable...? ?I think actually she needs to use those pumps a couple times a day,? Caireen told me, ?I?ll explain later.? she said in answer to my unasked question. Before I knew it, Esmie and Lizi had come to join us on our couch, and we started watching a movie. During the movie I discovered more about this Team Kimba that had set up this room. We learned about some of the craziness that had supposedly gone on more than a decade ago - I wondered if half of the stories were true! At some point the movie ended and Hannah said, "We probably should go to bed... they said they?re going to test us tomorrow so we can start to figure out our class schedules." "Fun!" Lizi said. I shook my head. "I just did this..." I groaned a bit. "Whateley has way better testing though. You probably have at least a couple more abilities than what your other tests revealed." "Really?" I asked, kind of excited by that. "Yeah. Plus, Hannah gets to learn all of the cool new things she can do!" I laughed. "Yeah, other than big balls of energy we don?t really know much about her abilities. Maybe you?ll have some sort of magical abilities too?" Hannah picked me up off Camille?s lap and said, "Night everyone!" She couldn?t seem to help herself and grabbed my arm and said, "Wave ?bye-bye? Sofia." I glared at her and she just laughed. Once we made it back to her room she said, "Would you mind nursing one more time?" "Already? I guess..." I said, but I knew it was probably three hours since the last time. "I know, this has to be a little obnoxious on you. I?m sorry, I can just do the pump..." I sighed. "Use the pump a time or two in the day... I?ll do night and breakfast for certain each day?" She nodded. "Save the rest of it... I have a feeling I have several girls that want to ?babysit? me." She smiled. "I?ve had like eight girls offer! I?m not surprised though; you are like the most adorable baby ever!" Hannah settled into the rocker with me and sang a lullaby as she nursed me. I must have been more tired than I realized because she told me she changed my wet diaper and I didn?t even stir. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Chapter 10: Powers ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ AS SOON AS I was asleep at Whateley, of course I was waking up in Caireen?s world. "This is so weird," I said to Caireen as she picked me up out of the crib. "What is?" I sighed. "Not really ever I guess thinking I?m really asleep?" I paused. "It?s like I live the life of a vampire, never sleeping." I saw Caireen flinch. "Please don?t mention those creatures... You are most certainly not like them." I raised my eyebrow. "Huh?" "Vampires. They aren?t like that novel I saw inside your head, but they?re based on a real enough creature. They are nasty creatures of evil. I really have no desire to think of them," she said. She changed the subject as she was changing my diaper. "It seems like today you started to at least get the point that you are a baby though." I sighed. "I guess I don?t have a lot of choice." She nodded. "Good, the sooner I believe you believe that maybe I?ll work on helping you gain some independence back." I looked up hopefully. "Like changing myself?" "That, and maybe an illusion for you to make yourself look like an average teenage girl?" "Wait, what?!?!" I controlled my voice. "You can help me be a regular teenager?" "No, but you can appear to be to observers. You can make your body appear to at least visually look like you?re eighteen or so. Really you?ll still be your same size." "Could I..." "What?" I thought for a second and tried to find the right question "Can I be touched and felt like that?" She looked at me and sighed. "Not with the illusion I?m thinking of. It depends on the fact that the person is not trying to actually touch you. What you?re speaking of would be a physical shapeshift spell..." "It is possible?" I asked hesitantly. Caireen thought long and hard before answering. "Yes Sofia, eventually you will be powerful enough that you could change your body to some small amounts. I would advise against you ever trying anything that extensive," As if judging my maturity, she paused while she helped me put on a new dress. "The problem is that BIT of yours is likely to interfere if you did more than something small. I would say at most you might have a one percent chance of being successful with that much of a transformation - even when you are fully trained in a few decades." I mouthed, ?Decades?? but kept silent. She nodded at the silent question, but continued. "You?re probably about eighty percent likely to make yourself look like some sort of hideous monster though." "The other percent?" "Something unknown, or nothing at all." I sighed. "So not really worth it." "No, not really." "But the illusion?" "I?ll make you a deal. You go along with the baby treatment for a couple more weeks." She poked my nose. "Let that cute girl Camille and your other friends take care of getting you from class to class, changed, and drink out of a baby bottle in the cafeteria." I groaned on the last one. "Sippy cup?" I suggested instead. She shook her head. "Bottle. You know you like drinking from them more than the sippy cups, and this is about you getting comfortable with the unavoidable truth that you are a baby." "Anything else?" She looked at me for a moment and said, "No, that?ll do. You do those things the next few weeks and I?ll teach you those two spells." I reached my hand out with my pinky out. "Pinky promise?" She looked almost offended for a second, but smiled and took my tiny pinky with hers. "Pinky promise." I smiled at that. The end wasn?t in sight, but at least there was a chance of me sort of going on with life a little more normally! "Okay, now that we?ve talked, let?s get you breakfast before I want to teach you a few more things before the testing tomorrow." The next several hours the baby routine continued and she taught me a great deal about the principles behind magic and ley lines. By the time lunch came around I felt like I had some new ideas on how to work spells. She had also taught me some basic warding spells and how to detect them by the time I went to bed in her world. "Good night Princess," she said with a smile as she lay me down in the crib. AS I WOKE up in the real world, I found myself already on the changing table having my diaper changed. "Those eyes do open!" Hannah cooed at me. I sighed. "What time is it?" "Six-thirty," she said, "now that you?re awake, instead of me putting another diapee on you - you up for a shower with me?" "How about by myself?" I suggested. She shook her head. "You didn?t see the showers here yesterday, I don?t think that you?ll be able to work them by yourself." "Oh," I admitted. Then sheepishly I asked, "Aren?t there bathtubs?" "Not yet... I was thinking Caireen might be able to help out with that one tonight?" Caireen stirred and told me, ?We can do that. You?re a baby... And babies really should have baths...? I just nodded at Hannah. Instead of putting the diaper on me she had just picked up she grabbed a ?Brave? themed towel and wrapped me in it instead. I held onto the towel and toddled behind her as she held a basket of shower supplies, a clean diaper, and her clothes in her hands. "What about my clothes?" I asked her as we walked. "We?ll come back to the room and get you dressed," she told me. ?So, I?ll be sitting around watching her get ready and only be wearing a diaper,? I sighed. ?Remember what we talked about last night Sofia,? Caireen reminded me. ?I know...? I said, ?Sorry, it?s not like I was always diapered and used to everyone seeing me naked. I am, was, a teenager and we like our privacy.? She didn?t say anything back and we were in the bathroom. Other girls were naked and getting in and out of the shower, but just like with Camille, I felt nothing. I just sighed and followed Hannah to an empty stall. She pulled her pajamas and nursing bra off as discreetly as she could and hopped into the shower. I could see that she was full, but she didn?t seem to be leaking yet. ?I would have thought she had to have been leaking by now?? Hannah must have noticed me looking, because after she flicked on some switch that was labeled ?noise cancellation? she said, "I used the pump in the middle of the night and before I woke you up..." "Oh," I said. "I didn?t want to wait until you finally woke up enough. Plus, I thought you might like to have a shower," she added. I nodded and watched her turn a couple knobs and braced myself to be hit with freezing cold water when she turned it on. Instead it was a perfect shower temperature already. "Wow," I said as I stepped closer to her and the water. She giggled. "Apparently one of the Goodkind?s mutated and was in with that Kimba team we heard about last night. They made improvements on the showers as they went through high school. The senior?s floor is supposedly absolutely amazing thanks to them!" Hannah took some body soap and put it on a loofa before handing it to me. ?May I?? I asked Caireen internally. ?This isn?t one of the conditions, so go ahead,? she said. I smiled as I took the loofa and lathered up every inch of my body. In the meantime, Hannah did her hair. Once she had the shampoo and conditioner out of her hair, she took the loofa and used the bodywash on herself. She picked up the shampoo bottle next and said, "Close your eyes Sofia." She washed my hair out gently and pulled the shower head down to rinse my hair of the suds. Hannah turned the water off then and reached for her towel for her body, wrapped her head in a towel, then used my Merida towel to dry me. She wrapped me in it briefly and said, "Let?s step out into the bathroom and we?ll get your diaper on you." I groaned a little, but I had already unintentionally peed a bunch in the shower. Without any real warning she pulled the towel away from me, lay it down on a bench, and picked me up to lay me down on it. She grabbed the diaper she had brought, lifted my legs up, and quickly fastened the tapes before setting me down on the ground to walk with her to the mirror. Hannah picked me up and sat me on the counter to brush out my hair and blow dry it as she alternated doing the same to hers. Camille walked in then and sleepily said, "Hi Sofia, hi Hannah," and then trudged to the shower that she seemingly got into on autopilot. Most of the girls in the bathroom ignored me or just waved ?hi? to me as they walked past. One girl though stopped and stared at me as I stared back at her. Though I wasn?t attracted, I could still know she was probably the most beautiful girl I had ever seen in my life. She must have been a high-level exemplar, and I swore I had seen her before somewhere. Then it hit me, I had! She was in one of Mom?s magazines. I was curious enough to read it one day, and remembered an ad for makeup or something had her in it! "You have to be the most beautiful baby I have ever seen!" the girl cooed as she came over. I decided to maybe correct her there. "Hi, I?m Sofia," I said as I held my hand out to her. "You?re not really a baby?" the girl said. "I?m Anna by the way," she added to be polite. "It?s kind of complicated. I was eighteen until a bit over a week ago." "I know how that goes..." she said. "I assume you were probably a guy too?" I nodded. "You?" "Yep! It took seven months to change into this..." she said as she motioned to her body. Hannah was just finishing putting her clothes on and said, "Hi, I?m Hannah," to her. "Her mother?" "Complicated," we said together and laughed. "We used to be best friends pretty much," Hannah said. "Sofia changed first, and then I changed when she was being chased by some assholes." Anna nodded as if that was the most natural thing in the world. "Well, I?d better get a shower. Sofia, you really should join Venus, Inc. for a club. Hannah you would probably be welcome too, but Sofia you would make a fortune in modeling contracts and acting as a baby." I sighed. "So I?ve heard. I?ll look into it. I suppose being the model on the box of Pampers toddling around in nothing but a diaper isn?t any different than right now?" She laughed. "It would suit you well, and you could make a ton of money." ?Money?? I thought to myself. ?Like you really need any....? Caireen reminded me. She was right, as easy as she magically made anything that I needed to just appear... and most babies don?t really spend money themselves... I sighed as Hannah brought a toothbrush up to my mouth. I took it and brushed my teeth before she helped me rinse my mouth out and carried me to our room. "You ready for breakfast now?" she asked me. I looked at her and nodded. After I nursed her breasts, she put me into my smaller version of the school uniform she was wearing. "You look adorable!" Hannah said. I stuck my tongue out at her. "I?m waaaaay more than adorable!" She laughed. "Oh no, Princess Sofia is going to turn into a conceited brat if I keep giving compliments." I glared at her. "I?m already there! Now can we get some solid breakfast?" She laughed and said, "Just a minute, let me make sure I have your diaper bag stocked since I have a feeling that they?ll separate us most of today." "In that case you might want to have your pump handy somewhere too," I advised her. She sighed and patted a backpack she had on the bed. "Already in there." I stood up and hugged her legs. "Sorry." "It?s okay, I?m the milk cow and you?re the diapered baby... not sure which one of us has the most to complain about," she admitted. "I?m pretty sure I won that battle. You can still do all of the things you want to do," I reminded her as she helped me put a coat on and then did the same. "And you can?t?" I sighed. "At least not for a while. Maybe eventually..." "That?s the most hopeful you?ve sounded?" she said as she put on her backpack, put the diaper bag on her shoulder, and picked me up. "Caireen and I made a deal last night. Speaking of which, you have bottles, right?" I asked suddenly. "Of course, what kind of mommy would I be without bottles for my baby?" she said with a giggle. "Why are you asking though, you didn?t want to use one in public yesterday?" "I made Caireen a deal that I would let others help me out in class, change me, and carry me as needed... and drink out of bottles in the cafeteria. In exchange she?ll teach me what I need to know to maybe sort of be normal some of the time." "How?" she asked as we passed through the door to go outside. "It?s cold out here," she said in the next breath. "Yeah, glad you remembered the coats..." I said and looked around at the ground and the shallow older looking snow. For the first time it really struck me we were in New Hampshire and were surely going to be getting as much or more snow than in Los Alamos here. As if in answer to that I felt a snowflake land on my nose and looked up to catch one in my mouth. "Earth to Sofia," I heard. "Oh, right," I said and proceeded to tell her about how Caireen offered to help me out. She looked a little disappointed with the idea that I would be a bit more self-sufficient, but I think she also understood. We went to the table that had become our normal hangout already and left her bag and my diaper bag sitting there with Camille watching over them. She smiled and waved us to go get food while she munched on some sort of oatmeal. Once again, I loaded a plate high with food and accepted the incredulous looks from the students around me. Anna saw me and said, "Hi Sofia! You need a hand with that?" I shook my head. "I?m good, thank you though." Hannah followed me behind and we swiped our temporary cards before getting back to the table with our food. Hannah had a bottle full of juice in her hand that she handed me and I sighed before putting it in my mouth. "Are you sure that?s wise?" Anna asked quietly as she sat down in an empty chair beside me. "What?" "Letting people know you?re a baby?" I laughed. "I was worried about that at first Anna, but trust me, there?s no way I can hide the fact that I?m a two-year-old who will never be potty trained," I sucked from my bottle again and said, "At least I look like a normal baby like this..." She nodded. The conversation around the table mostly centered around projects that were due that week, and of the classes that students were working on. There were a few discussions about something called the combat arena and midterms. I looked with an eyebrow raised at Hannah about that and she shrugged. "I?m not sure if you?ll have to do them or not since you have come so late. They may not make you take them until the spring," Anna told us. Then of course everyone filled us in on the Arena and how it kept getting ?better? every year. We had a couple upperclassmen at our table who had been through it, and told their stories. I shuddered a bit, but knew I could probably actually hold my own in there. Our favorite bully walked in right then and glared at me. As she started to come over towards us, I could see in her body language that she still hadn?t learned her lesson. To discourage her, I made her hair change from her carefully styled loosely hanging hair to two tightly braided pigtails with huge bright pink and white bows holding them together. It was almost comical as she felt her hair change, pulled one of the ends of the braid towards her face to look at it, and then screeched loudly in anger! "You know you probably shouldn?t taunt her," Anna told me. "Probably not," I nodded solemnly, but couldn?t help smiling and adding. "She?ll eventually try and spank me or something." Everyone at the table laughed and Hannah looked at a clock in the hall and said, "Come on Sofia, we need to get you changed and then get to Doyle to go for power testing." I grabbed my half full bottle and stuck it in my mouth as she carried me out of the dining hall. I couldn?t help but laugh as Streaked was having her friends try and loosen the ribbons on her braids. I debated on undoing them, but they would fade away in another hour on their own. Maybe she?d learn her lesson about threatening Hannah or me in the meantime. Hannah carried me to the bathroom she had used to change me yesterday and soon had my diaper exposed by just pulling up my skirt. "You soaked this Sofia," she told me. "Well I had half a bottle there at the table, and umm.... that would have to be at least a bottle earlier?" Hannah shook her head. "It?s probably more than that." I thought back for a moment as she wiped me with a cold wipe it distracted me for a moment before I asked, "Umm... Hannah, just how much do you think I?m umm... drinking?" She finished taping my new diaper on. "It?s way more than a normal baby," she said. "Huh?" She sighed. "Remember I woke up early?" I nodded. "I looked up the normal amount for mothers on the internet... it?s like somewhere between twenty-four to thirty-two ounces a day." I thought back, "My bottles are like eight ounces?" "Actually ten and you can fill them a bit beyond that," she said as she washed her hands in the sink and looked down at me. "I used the pump this morning..." She sighed again. "I definitely am putting out more like that daily amount of each breast each time." My eyes must have been huge as I realized that only because I?m a mutant could I keep up with her load of milk! Over forty-eight ounces every time I was nursing?!? She could feed multiple normal babies and not even come close to emptying herself. "What did you do with it?" I asked her. "Well there are a few bottles of it in the bag for you," she said with a smile, "and I talked Mrs. Potter into letting me use her fridge for the moment until we can buy a fridge with a freezer to put in the room tonight." Hannah picked me up and said, "Let?s go get this testing over with!" I smiled. "At least you?ll know more about yourself when we?re done!" "Yeah, I guess other than shooting energy at people and being the best wet-nurse in the world I don?t really know what I can do yet." We walked to the building together and checked in at the front receptionist?s desk. "Hi, I?m Hannah Rayburn, and this is Sofia Hammerstein, we?re here for powers testing?" The lady smiled up at me. "Why aren?t you just the cutest thing." I sighed and politely replied. "Thank you." "Let me just look up some information and have you fill out some forms for you and this little princess," the lady said condescendingly. Before I could get upset Hannah said, "Ma?am, Sofia can fill out her own set of forms." "Isn?t she a baby?" "No ma?am, she?s eighteen," Hannah said bluntly. I took a moment and looked up at Hannah and cringed a little bit. Being friends for most of our lives I?ve seen that look only a few times. The last time she gave Sarah Acosta the biggest black eye I?d ever seen. "Oh, my apologies," the lady said. "Here you go then sweetie," she said and handed us each a clipboard. Just to assert my age a little more I did a backflip off the counter and walked to a chair in a small waiting room. Hannah smiled at me and shook her head. It was like d?ja vu all over again for me as it was mostly the same questionnaire from the powers testing in Los Alamos. I found myself filling in the ?incontinence? line again, but at this point I had to admit there was no changing that. "You done?" Hannah asked me a few minutes later and took hers up at the same time. "They should be out to get you two in about ten minutes." "Thanks," Hannah said. As she came over, she put her hand on my diaper and said, "I think you?ll be fine for a while." I nodded and looked at her chest. "How about you?" She sighed. "I probably should pump or have you nurse, but I?ll wait until we?re back there and have them take a look. Why? Are you thirsty?" I thought for a second and nodded. She reached into the diaper bag and grabbed a bottle out of a pocket. She shook it, uncapped it, and then handed it to me. "Yours?" I asked as I looked at it. She nodded. I took a hesitant suck on the nipple and discovered it was cold and didn?t taste as good. "It?s cold," I said while I made a face. Hannah looked thoughtfully and said, "Here, hand it to me for a second." She held the bottle in her hand and I saw a quick glow before she put a test drop on her wrist. "Here, try it again." I found it was exactly the normal temperature from her breast then and smiled around the nipple. ?When did she start being able to do that?? I wondered. ?She?s got the most to learn today,? Caireen reminded me. Hannah picked me up and sat me on her lap as I continued to hold the bottle to my mouth. It was quite relaxing sitting there, but I couldn?t help but be a little disconcerted by how much I was missing nursing her milk from her, instead of using the bottle. By the time a white coated scientist came out to the waiting room I had finished the bottle and was just absentmindedly sucking on the empty bottle. "Hannah? Sofia?" Hannah and I nodded. She grabbed the bottle from me and stored it in the diaper bag before getting up and we walked back with her carrying the two bags. "I?m Doctor Kestner," the scientist said to us. "I?ll be one of the people running your testing today." "Nice to meet you," I said, "I?m Sofia, and this is Hannah." He paused in the hallway, looked down at me briefly and then shook his head. "I understand you two are sort of a team at this point?" Hannah nodded. "Probably for the rest of our lives." "I get that, teaming up in mutations happens every now and then. Will you be okay being tested separately?" I nodded. "I will need Hannah to help me every now and then though." He raised his eyebrows and Hannah responded. "She?ll need a diaper change in about an hour I would guess." "Umm... okay. Or one of our staff could help with that," he said courteously. "We?ll see where we?re at?" I suggested. "Fair enough. I don?t want you two having an impact on each other?s testing right now, so we?re going to run one of you through one portion while the other is doing another. Sofia, if you?ll come with me please, Hannah if you?ll go down that hallway and take a right there will be someone waiting for you." With that I was led into a room that was setup just like the physical testing area at Los Alamos, but at least several times larger! "I didn?t think to have her leave your bag with me... do you have a change of clothes for the physical portion of this?" he asked. I didn?t even answer him with words, I just said, ?Do it,? to Caireen and I was soon in the same leotard and tutu I?d been in for the initial test. Doctor Kestner snorted and chuckled. "Okay then, I?ll take that as you?ll be fine in that?" I nodded. "Yes sir." We began with a treadmill, moved to weights, and then finally he led me down to an obstacle course that made the one in Los Alamos feel like a home swing set in comparison. I had a blast as I ran through the course, jumping, leaping, and climbing it like it was a playground. When I completed the course, I ran up to him barely panting. "Doctor Kestner that?s a lot of fun, is there any way I could come back sometime to play?" He looked at me like I had grown horns or something. "Play?" Right then I just barely became aware of Hannah behind me as she picked me up. "Yes I?m sure she?s thinking play. She?s a baby after all!" she said and hugged me tight before wrinkling her nose. "One with a stinky diapee!" "Uh... would you mind taking care of that before I take her to the next test?" "Not at all, do you have a private room?" He led us to a locker room that was empty and Hannah placed a portable changing pad on the concrete bench before laying me on top of it. She pulled the snaps in the crotch of the leotard away from there and shimmied it all up my body before un-taping my diaper. "Peee-ew!" she said to me with a smile. "What a stinky baby!" She took a moment to tickle my side before getting to work on cleaning my bottom. When she was done, I said, "Thank you," to her. "You?re welcome Princess," she said as she walked to a trash can and placed my soiled diaper in there. "Running around on that course sure made you a mess! I think that?s the messiest diaper I?ve changed on you." I blushed. "Sorry." "Why? You?re a baby, that?s what you should be doing!" she said with a smile and tickled my side. I giggled. "What have you done so far?" "They had me stare at a bunch of parts and things that I guess are supposed to do something." She shrugged. "You know I?ve always been terrible with mechanical and computerized things. They had me grabbing some things from across the room too... that?s kind of fun!" "Huh?" I asked. "Here, watch," she said as I saw the diaper bag next to me open back up and a bottle came out. The cap was pulled off by some invisible force and she held it for a moment to warm it up. A quick wrist test and the invisible force picked it up as she settled me in her arms. The bottle floated to my mouth and held it there for me to nurse. "Cool!" I said around the nipple and she smiled. I nursed the bottle to empty pretty quickly and she turned me and burped me unnecessarily. Of course, my body still burped on command though! "Okay, back to work Sofia!" she said and walked me back to the room. I was run through a test of balls flying at me again, and once again I was able to duck out of the way for a while. I eventually failed the test though, as I assumed all students must! I wound up sitting in that same gadget room, just as clueless as Hannah had been. I was bored enough I started stacking parts like a tower of blocks before they seemed to think I might break something and rushed me out... I was then tested for telekinesis and other related powers. I was sure I could do the tests with magic, but that wasn?t what they wanted. To my surprise though I suddenly seemed to be able to do a lower power version of the green energy blasts I had seen Hannah do when she mutated. They weren?t enough to explode like hers, but we discovered they were enough to disable unshielded electronics and knock a person?s nervous system out. It wasn?t the same as my magical blasts, I was sure of that! "You weren?t able to do that before in Los Alamos?" she asked me. I shook my head. "No, not like that... That?s like Hannah?s power." "I wonder..." Whatever it was she was thinking though she didn?t tell me then. After some more testing, I was eventually led into another room and questions from another technician were all about my avatar spirit. As I explained more about her the man?s eyes seemed to get larger and larger. Eventually I tired of answering questions and let Caireen take over my body for only like the third time. It was weird being the bystander as she answered history questions to him, questions about her powers, and many other things. All during that session I noticed he couldn?t type notes fast enough into his computer. At two in the afternoon, Hannah came to find me, and after changing back into our uniforms we went to get a late lunch. When we returned to the testing labs, I was greeted by a young technician in her late twenties wearing a lab coat over a pretty flowered dress. She introduced herself. "I?m Trinity," She held her hand out to me first and then to Hannah. "Sofia, do you mind coming with me to go meet with Ms. Grimes for your magic testing?" I looked at Hannah and we both decided we?d have to split off. "Here, her diaper is a little wet, but it?ll probably hold for another hour," Hannah said and handed her my diaper bag. My face turned red and I glared at her. "Do you want to walk, or I can carry you?" Trinity asked. I sighed. "I guess we?ll go quicker if you carry me." She smiled and shouldered the diaper bag before taking me on her other side. "Wow, you sure are light!" "So I?ve been told," I told her. "So how do you like Whateley so far?" Trinity asked. I sighed. "I hate being without my parents," I told her. "though I?m sure they feel the same way. I probably should have called them last night," I said guiltily. "You?re not the first student to forget to call their parents early on," she laughed at me. "My parents practically yelled at me when I didn?t call them for a week!" I giggled. "I?m pretty sure that?ll happen if I?m not careful. I guess I?ll call them tonight... I?m sure Hannah would like to talk to hers too." "How about friends?" "I seem to be making a few," I admitted. "We?ll see how things go once we figure out what classes Hannah and I are taking." As we came up to the building Trinity said, "Umm... Sofia, I think this may be a bit awkward..." "What?" I asked, distracting myself from the fact I could clearly see a second entrance to the building other than the one the public would probably use. ?It?s magic, right?? I asked Caireen. ?Yes,? she answered, ?pay attention.? "Umm... I think you need a change," she said simply. I looked down and felt a little bit of pee going down around my leg and sighed. "I never thought it would be my diapers leaking... she said I was just a little wet..." "Do you want help?" Trinity asked. I looked at her. "I don?t have any choice, I need help." "But aren?t you...?" "The goddess I have lurking inside of me isn?t allowing me to change myself for a while yet." "Okay..." "So yes please, if you don?t mind changing me?" I asked. I expected her to walk to a bathroom, but was a little surprised to see she just walked into an empty room with a stone table instead. She sat me down on it while she dug out my changing pad, a clean diaper, and wipes. "Just lay down," she told me with a smile. She changed me like she did it a lot every day. As she was taping the diaper shut, I asked, "You have a baby at home?" Trinity grinned. "Yep, she?s just a little bit bigger than you. I keep hoping we?ll be able to potty train her soon. I?m thinking over the Thanksgiving Break we might do potty training boot camp with her as my sister calls it." "Good for her." "How about you? Any chances?" I shook my head. "I think your people want to run a few more tests this evening on me, but everyone is guessing my BIT has locked me into being a baby with no control." "So, it?s a matter of learning to deal with it?" she asked as she dug into the diaper bag and found a new skirt to replace my one that had gotten wet. "Something like that." "I guess I can understand your spirit's insistence on depending on others then for a while," she said. I just nodded. "Okay, all set," she said a few moments later after helping me fix my skirt and blouse. She straightened my hair before picking me back up, and saying. "Let?s get this testing out of the way, shall we?" She led me through the corridors of the building to an office with a lady I remembered from Mrs. Carson?s visit to my house. "Hello Ms. Grimes," I said politely as Trinity sat me down on the ground. "Good afternoon Sofia," she responded. "I?ll leave your bag here," Trinity said while placing my diaper bag on the chair. "Thanks for all your help," I said to her. "Anytime," she told me. "Ms. Grimes, if you?ll call me when you?re done, I?ll get her back with her friend." She left and closed the door on her way out. "Are you ready to start this testing?" Ms. Grimes asked me. "Yes ma?am," I responded politely. "Okay then, let?s go to one of our rooms that?s well warded for safety." Unlike almost every other adult, instead of picking me up, or holding my hand, she just opened her door and started on down the hallway. I followed her, making several steps of my own for each of her steps, but I was appreciating the freedom of movement there. She led me down to a room that was large, stone, and had a circle of salt in the middle. Caireen became nervous inside of me and I knew why. Circles were dangerous, but we just had to trust the school here. "Would you please step into the circle?" "I trust you will let me out of it?" I asked. "I swear upon my true name that I will not keep you in there against your wishes. It?s just a safety precaution as we test you." I nodded and stepped inside. Instantly I could feel the wards that were around the circle, but also felt way better when we had a feeling that the power of this circle could be easily broken with our own power. "Okay Sofia, we?re going to do a few things once I clear out of the room." She left the room and went to an adjacent room with a glass observation window. "First, I would like you to draw in as much essence as you can..." We spent the next three hours with her testing me in numerous ways. She tested my power level, she tested my knowledge of spells (limited then), my power of spells (not so limited), and things I didn?t even have a name for. When she finally finished giving me tasks, she asked, "Sofia I could tell you became less nervous when you got in the circle. You can break through it, can?t you?" she asked. Instead of answering her I drew in the partial power I needed to do it and busted through the circle. "Not another one..." she said with a sigh. "Another one?" "Yes, I?ve had about six students in the last six or so years that could do that. It makes it difficult to safely trust you when we start learning higher order spells." I smiled. "Don?t worry, I can practice the really dangerous ones in Caireen?s castle." As we started walking back to her office, she seemed deep in her thoughts and I realized for the first time that not only was my diaper leaking, it was also sagging badly! It was almost falling off of my waist as I awkwardly toddled, hoping it wouldn?t fall to the ground. Ms. Grimes didn?t notice it as she called Trinity to come collect me, but Trinity noticed it instantly. "Umm... Ms. Grimes?" she asked. "Yes Trinity?" "Did you ever check Sofia?s diaper?" Her face fell as she realized she had dropped the ball and was embarrassed. "Umm..." "I thought so. Come along Sofia, we?ll get you changed and back to Hannah before hitting your final tests tonight." Several minutes later she was saying. "I can?t believe her..." as she undid the tapes of my diaper. I was soon in another diaper, but she said, "Sofia, you should see if you can get some uniform tops in as onesies." "Why?" "I think they?ll help keep your diaper up when this happens again." "Oh," I said. She dug through the diaper bag and eventually came up with a pink romper for me to put on. "Won?t I get in trouble for not being in uniform?" I asked about wearing it. "You?re going to have some exceptions noted in your file by tonight," she told me. "And, as far as I?m concerned you have no classes today." I was led back to Hannah at the other building. "How did she do?" Hannah asked like a worried mom. "She did great!" Trinity said. "You might want to see about getting her some onesies as tops instead of the regular blouses though. It?ll help hold up any really wet diapers." Hannah blinked at me and said, "That?s a great idea! Thanks!" We walked to Poe first and I figured I knew why. "Full?" I asked her. "I pumped five times today, and I?m even fuller now," she complained. In our room she closed the door, pulled her shirt away, and we took care of her problem. "Do you mind doing this?" she asked me as she switched me to her other breast. "No," I sighed. "It really is very comforting," I admitted, before nursing that breast too. Her skin was far more comforting than the silicone nipple of a bottle. ?See, there are good things about being a baby,? Caireen told me. ?I guess... On the whole I would rather not be though,? I told her back sadly. Once I had finished Hannah cleaned up and we went to dinner at the Crystal Hall. It was already almost seven when we walked in, so we had to hurry to meet our final appointment of the night at 8pm. Doctor Kestner met us at the receptionist area and asked, "If you?ll please follow me?" I was a little surprised by the curtness, but didn?t really care. It had been a long day and I was looking forward to finishing these final tests. Hannah carried me and followed the doctor through an elevator door that took several minutes for us to go down to a low-level basement. "How far are we below ground?" I asked her. "About five-hundred feet," she responded to me with a smile. The door opened eventually and she led us to another room with a young man waiting for us. "This is Doctor Wilks," she introduced us. "Hannah, and Sofia," she said towards us. "He?s going to run you through our latest device that we have to finish deciding your powers." "Okay..." Hannah said nervously. In the end it wasn?t that big of a deal. It was essentially almost an MRI, and I?d been through one of those in the hospital one time. We had to change into some very form fitting white suits before getting in the machine, and that apparently meant my diaper had to go. I felt sort of bad when he pulled me out of the machine and had to spray down the table with disinfectant... But I laughed along with Hannah about it! When both of us had run through the machine I asked, "So can we see our scores?" He shook his head. "I have to let Doc Bellows or a faculty member go through them with you." "Oh..." I said. "Don?t worry, they?ll meet with you early in the afternoon tomorrow," Doctor Kestner said, "You only have to get through your physicals first and Sofia?s martial arts placement first." "So, we?re done for the day?" Hannah asked as she pulled her skirt back up. "Yes, we are, I?d recommend heading back to your dorm and getting some sleep." "Sounds like a plan to me!" Hannah said. Back in our dorm the other students waved at us, but we managed to make it back to our room without being interrupted. We both took the time to call home then. "Hi Mommy!" I said in a sweet voice. "Sofia?" she asked obviously a little weirded out. I giggled. "Who else would it be?" My dad got on the line and even Lily was on the phone for a few minutes. I decided just to go ahead and get the awkward conversation out of the way and told them about Hannah?s condition and our ?fix? for it. Mom seemed to take it in stride, but you could tell Dad was uncomfortable with it. Just before we finished Mom said, "We sent you a few boxes of things that should be there tomorrow. It sounds like Caireen mostly has you both set - but there are a few things from home to make..." She teared up a bit. "To make you feel more at home." "I love you Mommy," I told her. I could tell being apart was hard on her. Especially as for a week she?d literally gotten her baby back! "I love you too Princess," she told me. "Love you," Dad said. "Love you too Daddy," I said with a smile. "Good night." "Night Princess," he said to me. As I hung up the phone, I could see Hannah was finishing up too. Hannah picked me up and we gave each other a well needed hug then. There was no doubt we would both be totally homesick without the other! "So how about that bathtub and a bath? Hannah asked me. I asked, ?Caireen?? ?Let?s go to the bathroom and I?ll get it settled,? she assured us both. Soon enough we were in the restroom and Caireen created a beautiful clawfoot bathtub with a circular curtain that closed around it. Caireen had matched most of the controls of the shower to make it easier to use. I noticed she placed a noise cancellation button there too, and would have to ask Hannah about that later. Hannah didn?t even bother with the round curtain that could conceal the tub though as she placed me in the tub. I blushed as Hannah bathed me and other girls could see her doing so. Most of the other girls seemed more interested in the tub than my naked body. "Oh my God, can I take a bath next?" In the end Caireen made two more tubs through me before Hannah diapered me for the night and placed me to her breast. By the time she lay me in my crib with my pacifier I was exhausted and fell to sleep instantly. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Please consider leaving me a comment in the reviews if this is your first time reading this about what you think! I do have up through Chapter 18 of the revised postings up on WattPad (babysofia1234) if you don?t feel like being patient for the next postings. I didn?t want to just dump all of the chapters on here at once. WattPad is probably a slightly better option than the old files here just because there?s some continuity errors you may notice in the originals. Thanks for taking the time to read!!!
