In-Between Chapters 47 and 48 by Sofia Hammerstein

Cameron Sylvester has grown up always hoping he'll live up to the heritage of his mother's family height. She was a ten-foot-tall Big, after all, and his father was a tall Mid, which meant it shouldn't have been a question that he would grow out of the Little category of height early on. A bright student, he's been at the top of his class in science and math throughout his academic career! Looking toward his high school graduation and towards college, he's received scholarships to attend Emerson University. it's a question of inches if he'll be left to the fate of being a Little with a limited future or manage to make a future as a short 'Betweener.' Even as a Betweener, the question remains to be seen if he can be a normal adult or if he'll be left 'In-Between.'  (A Tale from the Diaper Dimension)

Chapter 47: Ponies
 

I COMPLETELY ZONKED out for the drive and only woke again when I felt tickled, “Come on, wake up, Cammie,” I heard simultaneously.

I looked up and said, “Ugh…” I spat out the pacifier from my mouth then and asked, “Where are we?”

“Getting a haircut!” she smiled at me.

I looked up suddenly and saw a sign ‘Pigtails and Ponies’ in a decorative script on a sign. ‘Little Girls Hair Salon’ was subtitled below it, and I groaned… “Do we have to?”

She nodded, “Yes, we do! My baby girl needs a pretty haircut!”

I made a face, “I guess I can shave it all off after this is over.”

“Over?” She smiled, “Who says it’s going to be over?”

She gave me a warning look, “No one, Mommy… Let’s get this over with.”

I was picked up from the car seat and felt an intrusion into my diaper. “Still dry… they did not give you nearly enough to drink there today, did they?”

I shrugged; I could feel the Plapple juice was almost needed out of my bladder, “I guess not?”

She dug around the car, and the bottle I’d had before leaving was refilled. “Drink your baba while we wait,” she told me.

I sighed and held it as she carried me inside, and a ding was heard with the door opening.

“Well, hello there!” A friendly mid, not much taller than me, said to us. “May I help you?”

“We’re here to get my baby girl’s hair cut? I made an appointment?”

“Name?”

“Cammie Harris?”

“Sure thing, I’ve got you right here. I’ll let your stylist know that you’re here!”

“Thanks!” Addison said as she bounced me up and down a moment and then went to sit down on some couches that looked nicer than I would expect in a children’s salon. I saw a gated play area nearby with plenty of toddler and children’s toys sitting there, but thankfully she didn’t force me to go pretend there. A few tables were lined with stacks of magazines for parents of real children and Littles alike.

Two real moms were waiting with their older elementary-aged daughters for their cuts, but the shop seemed quiet.

Apparently, Addison noticed I was just staring and holding the bottle, so she shifted me to the crook of her arm and grabbed the bottle from me, “Drink your baba baby.” She pushed the nipple in my mouth, and I sighed as I began drinking. We were left waiting long enough that I finished it. My stomach was bloated from two bottles of juice in a short time, and my bladder cried for release.

I squirmed for a moment and let a stream flow into the diaper.

“Good girl!” She cooed and hugged me.

I wondered if she might think about changing me, as it was pretty wet, but we heard, “Cammie?”

I looked up to see a tall woman with layered brown hair as Addison stood up. “That’s us!” She said with a smile.

“Great, come on back!”

We walked back, and I saw the most ridiculous-looking pink miniature car. I wasn’t sure what it was for a second until Addison sat me inside it and buckled me up with a lap belt before sitting next to me. I blushed as I realized my wet diaper was completely flashed at the young girl and her mother, watching her get his haircut nearby. ‘This is a salon chair…? I wondered as I looked at the pair before me and avoided looking at them. They’d put in a steering wheel, buttons, and little toys to keep a kid sitting still.

“Is this your first time getting your haircut, sweetie?” She cooed at me.

“Umm… no…?”

“Silly, I meant since you were adopted!”

“Oh…”

“Yes, it sure is!” Addison said with that high-pitched mommy’s voice she tended to use. “I’ve wanted a cute hairstyle for her forever, though!”

“I bet you have,” the woman said. I felt her pull out the elastics and the bows on the pigtails she had put my hair in that morning. “We have plenty of hair to do whatever you want here; what are you looking to get done?”

“Well, honestly, I want to keep it simple most days, so if you can just do a tapered cut down to just below her shoulders?”

I felt the woman turn my body in the chair and hold a comb several inches above my current length, “About here?”

“That would be perfect,” Addison said. “And then once you get it into that basic style, I’m hoping you can do something like this…?” She showed her a picture on her phone.

“Oh, that’s easy! I can definitely do that! Special date tonight?” She asked.

“Yep, we’re having a mommy-daughter night out!”

“Aww… Too many of my customers just leave their Little girls at home in a crib with their babysitters while they go out.”

“Well, I’m sure we’ll be doing that sometimes too, but she’s been a very good girl and had a rough day today.”

“Well, we’ll make it better here! Do you have a paci for her? I find all my clients that still use them sit better if they have one?”

“Sure!” she said, digging into the diaper bag and plopping a pacifier inside my mouth.

I had always hated haircuts… They took too long, and I hated sitting still, even as an adult! It was the upside to dating women who preferred I have longer hair – I didn’t go in very often! I usually tied it into a low ponytail in court and hid it underneath my suit coat. Still, with the new length, I suspected that would be trickier to do. ‘As soon as I finish this bullshit, I am shaving it off!’

She played with my hair briefly before moving the chair to a nearby sink. It was a little disconcerting seeing the front of a ‘car’ sticking straight up in the air as she washed my hair out, then moved me back to the middle of her area. Occasionally, she would grab my head and twist it this way or tell me to ‘stay still baby…’ I saw a small mountain of hair growing at my feet as she chopped a lot of length off.

After a while, she said, “How’s this, Mommy?”

I felt myself turned around so Addison could see and now see myself in the mirror before me. To my relief, I didn’t have bangs or red hair like I figured was coming, but the way my hair fell was definitely more feminine. There was a mirror behind me, and I could see that instead of the straight, square cut on the bottom I’d been having done for years, it was longer in the middle and shorter on the sides. It also no longer reached the middle of my back, but rather the longer edges barely brushed my shoulders. I had been accused for a while of looking feminine with my hair and thinner build and face from my weight loss, but this seemed to push it further over the line. ‘Given I’m wearing a dress, I guess I should accept this could be my new normal…’

I sighed as Addison said, “That’s perfect! Just what I was hoping for!”

“It’ll be super easy to care for and put into whatever style you want before you send her to daycare each day too!” I could see the woman beaming a big smile at Addison. “Now, for the style you wanted for tonight!”

I felt the chair turn away from the mirrors. I found myself staring at a wall filled with images of cartoon characters as the stylist began working on my hair again. I tensed as I saw a curling iron, something I’d always feared to be honest, after hearing Beth, Addison, and so many others talk about burning themselves with them!

I sat absolutely still as she began spraying my hair with scented hair spray and using the hot iron! As time passed, I noticed that she was making my hair fall off-center, and soon a ponytail was lying on my shoulder. I could just see the shorter ends of it with large curls visible. “How’s that, Mommy?” she asked Addison.

“Perfect! Way better than I would have done!”

The woman smiled, “It’s not that difficult; I’m sure you could do it. It helps that this little girl is such a sweet good girl! Can she have a sucker?”

“As long as it’s not got anything in it?”

The woman shook her head, “Just tons of sugar, food coloring, and flavor!” She handed me a sucker, “Thanks for being such a good girl for me!”

“Thank you for doing my hair…” I told her as she turned me and let me see. Whereas the style I had seen before was simple, this looked way dressier. Large curls now adorned my hair as it pulled to the side over my left shoulder. I could see a few little hair pins with crystals on them at the top of my hair, but for the most part, what surprised me was that it was a style I could have seen Addison wearing for an event. No bright bows or clips were being used in it. I was surprised that it made me look older… like maybe I was in late elementary age instead of a toddler.

As Addison picked me up and my dress flashed up and displayed my soaked diaper, that older image was definitely shattered, though. “Let’s get you paid for your great job, and then do you have a bathroom I might be able to borrow to get her changed and dressed?” she patted the diaper bag but also pointed to a small garment bag I hadn’t seen her come inside with. ‘Must have left me to go out to the car while I was getting my hair cut?’

“Certainly!”

I caught a glimpse of the receipt and saw that Addison had given her a tip that was more than the haircut was supposed to cost. The woman lit up when she saw that and said, “Thank you so much!”

“You’re very welcome. We may return for a style or two in the next couple of weeks again. You did great work and treated Cammie just like the little girl she is – thank you for that.” She bounced me and looked at me, “Let’s go use their bathroom, change your soggy pants, and get you in your pretty dress!”

I blushed as a couple other ‘parents’ held their kids within hearing distance. The salon had a set of male and female single restrooms. She entered the women’s and locked the door behind us. “Diapee first!” she said as she pulled down a changing table and laid out the changing mat she had. I was lifted onto the table, and she carefully pulled the dress off before laying me down.

“Uh-oh,” she told me as she opened the diaper.

“What?”

“You just have a bit more poopy in here… I’m surprised you had anything left after what that stupid girl gave you, though…”

“It wasn’t permanent, was it…?” I asked as she picked my ankles up and wiped my butt.

“No, sweetie, if it had been, I wouldn’t have left that daycare until that bitch was shorter than you and couldn’t even crawl.” I felt my fear rise at that reaction as she slid a diaper underneath me.

“You know that kind of treatment was pretty normal, right?” I asked her. “Miss Crystal may hold a grudge against me now too…?”

She taped the diaper shut, “If she does, I’ll take care of her too. I don’t think she will, though; she seemed genuinely clueless about Kristin’s actions. Anyway, enough talk of daycare. Let’s get you dressed up for dinner.”

I wondered what kind of dress would be inside the garment bag. I pictured something completely frilly, over-the-top flouncy, pink or purple, and meant for some fancy birthday party. Instead, as Addison unzipped it, I was pleasantly surprised to see it was a solid navy blue, with just some tiny fake diamonds sewn into a ‘V-shaped pattern at the top of the bodice. The dress was sleeveless and flared out but seemed to lack any sort of petticoat or anything.

“Arms up!” she told me, pulling it over my body. She zipped it and switched out the pink tennis shoes I had on for a set of matching navy-blue strappy sandals with just a small heel on them. Even they looked quite mature in appearance compared to shiny Mary Janes or something. She stood me on the ground and began cleaning up from the diaper change. As she washed her hands, I looked in a tall mirror attached to the back of the door. I appreciated that the flared skirt fell almost to my knees and entirely concealed my diaper. I touched the soft fabric and felt the bumps of the sparkly gemstones.

Between the hair and the dress, I almost looked like the adult I was… just a flat-chested woman instead of a man. “You look pretty, huh?” Addison said to me without a hint of her mommy’s voice.

I hesitantly nodded. “Yeah, I guess I do…”

“Come on, let’s go get some dinner!”

I smiled as she didn’t pick me up but instead grabbed my hand, led me outside to her car, and let me climb into the car seat on my own for once. After she buckled the harness, she fussed with the dress a bit, and soon we were off. With her driving, it didn’t take long to get to wherever we were going. When she came around to my side of the car, I could see we were at a restaurant we used to eat at together regularly in college. I blushed at the potential of some of the waitstaff recognizing us…

She helped me out, and I noticed she only carried a thin wallet with us. Notably, she was leaving the diaper bag and her purse with her phone locked away in the trunk. ‘I hope I don’t need a change…’ I worried a little but reminded myself I usually went for hours without using the bathroom! She didn’t even grab my hand but said, “Come on, let’s go eat! I haven’t been here since our last time together.”

“Really?” I said as I walked beside her.

“Really.”

At the host stand, we were greeted by a host I didn’t recognize, “Table for two, please?” I said from habit.

“Why, of course, Miss!” The host said.

One of the reasons we used to frequent the restaurant was that it was one of the few that was very discrete with boosting up those of us who were shorter. The chair I was seated in was probably a highchair in height, but it looked identical to Addison’s chair at first glance. There were no straps or other restraints, just a higher chair. The menu I was handed was the regular adult’s, and no crayons or coloring mats were in sight.

“Why?” I asked her as we waited for them to come with drinks.

She shrugged, “You’re not a baby – I know that even if it’s hard not to confuse everything. I figured if we could get away from everyone today, we could have a moment for ourselves.”

“You’re sure they didn’t follow us?”

“Actually, I’m sure they did, but they’re not being let inside the door…” she smiled and nodded to the door.

“You have to let us in…” I heard a man complaining.

“Sorry, we don’t have space for you at this time. Please make a reservation, and we’ll gladly serve you another time.” I saw the host call for another waiter that helped him remove the stalkers.

“So…” she said.

“So…” I said, “Beside the witch, how was today?”

“Horrible?” she said.

“Horrible?” I asked.

“Yeah… let’s just say my mom isn’t happy. She won’t be until at least you’re altered to being a girl… but even then, I’m worried she will always want to take you the next peg down. I think that’s part of why I wanted to come out tonight. Tell me more about your time at law school…? I always wondered how you were doing? What did you do afterward?”

It was like Addison held up a big ‘pause’ sign for the next two hours on my shitty life’s turn. It was like dating in college again, with us listening to each other - and it was so easy to remember why I loved her back then. It made me feel guilty how, once again, I could feel that way while Beth wallowed in forced babyhood…

It made me feel so much saner, though, that I didn’t see a reason to complain about it! After dessert, we walked to the restroom together, and I waited inside while she used the toilet. I found myself needing to go and asked… “Umm… could I…?”

She sighed, “Let’s get through your hearing just using your diapers, sweetie. If it goes the wrong way, we’ll get you fixed up, and then I’ll let you use the big girl potty.”

I sighed but relented and just peed the diaper I wore. I had a distinct waddle as we walked out to her SUV, and she laid me on the back cargo area to change the wet diaper before driving home.

Until I was again given a bath like a toddler, dressed in a frilly pink nightgown, and presented with her breast to suckle on - it had almost been like an old normal night out with the old Addy!
 
 

Chapter 48: Strolling
 

THE NEXT MORNING, I woke up to someone giggling. “She looks perfect like this! I always thought you should have done this if you adopted her!”

I looked up and saw Danica standing there, towering above the small bed. I never appreciated that her family thought her a ‘runt,’ given that her nearly eleven-foot-tall frame certainly intimidated me now! I knew she had to be about twenty-five now, and she had certainly come into her own with her appearance over the years. She was every bit as gorgeous as Addison was.

“Hi, Danica,” I sighed, grabbing Rings instinctively and trying to roll back onto my bed, but she wouldn’t have any of that.

Kneeling next to the bed, she began tickling me mercilessly. “That’s Auntie Dani now,” she said as she continued to tickle torture me, and I conceded the battle with my bladder.

“Okay, Auntie Dani,” I said, “Stop… please!”

She smiled at me, kissed my forehead, and said, “Okay! It’s so good to see you, Cameron… I mean Cammie.”

It was a genuine slip, and I was curious to see her as an adult now. When I knew her before, she was actually one of the rare good Bigs who didn’t want to baby everyone, trick everyone, or abuse every little they saw. It was odd that any parents like theirs would raise a daughter or two like that. Now that she was a real adult, was she still the same?

“It’s good to see you too,” I told her. “Why are you here?”

“Well, it’s normally a tradition that when someone’s sister adopts a Little, they have a Little Shower. Since we’re not sure if you’re staying yet – and you have that injunction against your grandma, we will hold off on that. But I think an auntie is entitled to at least hang out with her sister and her temporary or future niece!”

Not knowing what else to do, I sighed and nodded, understanding that this wasn’t an adult reunion.

“Now, let’s change that wet diapee, and you can wear your first present from Auntie Dani!”

I felt myself stiffen a bit at that… I didn’t have long to wonder what the present was, though, because my self-proclaimed auntie held it up to show me as soon as she sat me on the changing table. “Isn’t it so pretty???” She smiled, “I think I always dreamed of Addy dressing you in something like this!”

I sighed and looked a little closer at the dress she held. The fabric was primarily a light baby blue, with puffy sleeves, a little collar on either side folded down, and a smocked front gathering the material. I noted three little flowers embroidered on each of the little collars and a diamond pattern crossing back and forth on the smocked area on the bodice. At each point, the diamonds met; there was a little crystal inset, little blue rose petals around them, and just a swish of white to portray leaves. All the details had to have been made by hand, and I assumed they were just as high-end as some of the other clothes Addison had dressed me in the past few days.

“What do you think?” Addison asked me.

I shrugged, “It is very pretty. Thank you,” I told Danica. Trying to avoid saying Auntie Dani any more than I had to!

She smiled, squealed with joy, and began taking off the nightgown I was dressed in, leaving me in the wet diaper. As she undid the diaper, she smirked, “You know, I used to think you were lying, Addy, but I think you probably were having a good time with him. That’s not the small little thing I expected.”

I blushed utterly red and covered my eyes with my hands. “Danica!” Addy hissed. “Not helping!”

“Sorry, I know you’re trying to forget he’s an adult Addy, but if I was you, I would think about my resources.” I looked up at her, and she smirked at me. “Just trying to help you both out here,” she smiled.

She lifted my legs like she’d been changing diapers all her life and quickly had me into a new one faster than Addison. “Okay, arms up!” She told me after unbuttoning four large buttons on the back of the dress.

I did so, and she pulled it over my head and then turned me a little so she could button them up. I felt the material gather at the back and realized it must have had a bow. The dress itself was a sateen and felt very soft on my skin. I first worried the dress’s front would be itchy with its gathered fabric. Another layer underneath it prevented the smocking from being on my skin.

“That’s adorable!” Addison squealed.

“Yes, it is!” she replied. “Let’s get your shoes and socks on now!” she told me.

A pair of ankle-length lacy socks went onto my feet, and then she put on a couple of white patent leather Velcro shoes. Each shoe had a little scalloped edge in the middle and was almost a sandal with the middle of the foot exposed in front of the Velcro. A large white bow was attached to the Velcro piece, covering all the way out to the edge of the shoe. ‘These are about as girly as possible…’ I thought to myself right then.

She smiled, “You look so pretty already! Can I do her hair too?”

“What’s with the affection for the Little?” Addison asked.

“Matty has short hair, I can’t do anything with him… and you’re just enough older that I was never able to really do your hair – you never trusted me!”

Addison laughed at that, “Okay, you’re right. Sure, she’s your doll for the morning, but be nice to her!”

I was picked up then and sat on the ground, “Where are her hair accessories?” She asked.

“Over there…” She pointed to a tub of bows and things on a dresser.

I took a couple of hesitant steps in the shoes and quickly determined that they would suck to walk in. It wasn’t that they were rubbing against my feet in bad spots, but the toe area of the soles was not very thick. They also had a slight heel on the back, but much less than my lifts had.

“Is this really all you’ve bought her so far?” Danica complained.

“We honestly haven’t had a chance to go anywhere really… this week has been crazy, and you know Mom dragged me into the office yesterday.”

“Yeah… I wish I knew what her deal was there…? Even she knows a new mommy should always get her maternity leave! Are you going in again this week?”

“Probably at least a couple days. I’m hoping to only go on Tuesday for a meeting about a couple projects and then Thursday for the shareholders meeting.”

“You shouldn’t even be going in for those!” she said as she stopped digging. “Okay, I think I have everything!” she looked around the room and asked, “Where do you do her hair?”

Addison shrugged, “We’re still figuring out routines. I’ve been using her highchair though downstairs?”

Danica approached where I stood, watching them interact, and picked me back up. “You know you are way too light!”

“Yes, she is… She was only one-hundred-and-thirty-five pounds the other day.”

“She’s nearly two feet taller than Matty and thirty-seven pounds lighter…” Danica looked down at me, “You have got to eat more kiddo.” She paused at the bottom of the stairs, “Speaking of that, Mommy do you need to nurse her?”

“I’ll give her a baba on the way to the mall,” she told her.

“Mall?” I asked.

Danica smiled, “Mall! I told you, Auntie needs to take care of her new niece! Your mommy doesn’t believe in having nearly enough hair accessories, apparently! And I think you need another toy or two. Speaking of toys, that stuffed Red Panda is adorable! What’s her name?” she asked me.

I blushed, “Rings…”

“Cute!” she smiled. “Addy, why don’t you make sure your diaper bag is packed for a day out of shopping, and make sure you grab Rings. Did you buy a stroller yet?”

Addy sighed, “There’s one they bought that I put in the car last night. I don’t like it all that much, though. I might look for a different one while we’re out.”

“It’ll at least get her around until then, though?”

“It should,” she agreed.

“I don’t need a stroller…” I tried to say, but Danica saw a pacifier by the high chair and inserted it into my mouth.

She spoke softly as she bounced me, “Now, Baby Cammie, you need to remember that you’re not as old as you were last week. I don’t know why the judge decided it, but she decided you needed your new mommy to care for you just as a little baby now. So, it’s our job as the big adults to care for you! Think about it! You’re so lucky you don’t even have to walk around!”

“You certainly have a way with her,” Mindy said as she appeared out of nowhere.

“Thanks, Mindy,” she told her. “Could you make her some toast to take with us? I will do her hair quickly, and then we’ll take off.” She looked back at Addy as she buckled the harness closed, “Go, we’ll be fine down here.”

“We don’t use the extra straps,” Addison told her before going upstairs.

“Hmm… Mommy thinks you can be good without them? I guess we’ll see, huh?”

She moved to the back of the chair and began brushing through my hair. Mindy was busy further off in the kitchen. She leaned over and whispered, “Sorry, kiddo, Addy told me she’s avoided you being around Mindy too much. She’s definitely an old school Littles ‘should be seen and not heard’ woman. Be careful around her. They just cut your hair yesterday, right?”

I would have nodded, but she had a bunch of my hair firmly in her hand. “Yeah,” came out around the pacifier.

“I like it; it’s simple. It should be easier to take care of than the last time I saw you. I saw someone do what I’m going to do with your hair the other day, and I thought it was totally adorable! It’ll look perfect with your dress too!”

I sat still as I felt her pull the brush through my hair to triple-check it was straight and tangle free. If I was honest, each brush of the stroke felt really good, and I had goosebumps running down my arms as she worked on me for some reason. I felt her pull pretty hard on two small sections on either side of my head before she temporarily tied them off with a small rubber band. A moment later, I could feel her tugging and twisting and decided she must have been braiding those sections. It didn’t take her long to tie those off again, and then it felt like she began gathering the rest of my hair in the back into two sections too. I felt her tug several times on each side, as she must have braided some other areas.

Addison returned with the diaper bag and Rings, who she handed me to hold at that point, and watched her sister do her magic.

Eventually, Danica said, “Done!” and I heard the click of a camera shutter. “Here!”

She showed me the back of my head now had an ‘X’ going across it with two braided pigtails crossing in the middle and then flaring out with the last couple inches hanging unbraided but tied back with two blue bows that matched the dress I was wearing. Addison had her own phone out and took a picture then too.

“Pretty,” I admitted to her with the pacifier still in my mouth. Seeing Mindy watching us, I said, “Thank you, Auntie Dani!”

“You’re very welcome, kiddo!” she told me and hugged me. “Addy, you ready to go?”

“Sure… Let me grab baby Cammie’s warmed bottle and then that toast that Mindy made her.”

“Sounds good!” she said. “I’ve got the munchkin!”

She tickled me a little and hugged me before carrying me after Addison. “Bye, Miss Mindy,” I thought to say politely. “Thank you for the toast.” The pacifier obscured that quite a bit, but I was sure the intention was there.

“Bye, sweetie,” she told me.

A short while later, I was strapped into my car seat with the two sisters sitting up front, a pile of toast in my lap, a bib and a blanket to protect my dress, and a bottle of milk sitting in a cup holder on my seat. I ate the toast and slowly began nursing on the bottle as we drove away. Eventually, falling back asleep for another little nap.
 

I WOKE UP when Addison slammed on the brakes suddenly. “Jack ass!”

“Addy! There are wittle ears here!” Danica said.

“Oh… well, I know Cammie has said worse.”

“I meant mine, you idiot!” she said.

Addison laughed sarcastically, “Riiiight…”

“Just take that parking space there,” she said.

I opened my eyes and saw that we were parked in a place I’d tried to avoid over the years since being there last to return a ring. Danica was closer to my door and opened it up. “Well, hi there, kiddo! Did you have a good nap?”

I shrugged, “I guess…”

I sat still as she pulled the blanket off me and undid the bib I’d been wearing. “They did their job; baby girl is still all clean!” She cooed at me. She unbuckled me from the seat.

“Hand me her empty baba,” Addy told her, gathering my diaper bag on the other side of the car.

“You want this bib too?”

“Nah, I’ve got like four more in here…”

“New mothers,” Danica said as she rolled her eyes and picked me up. She had a good handle on my smaller body. Still, I couldn’t help but note that with her shorter size, she seemed more like a young teenager holding me than the ‘mother’ that Addison felt like.

Addison went to the back and opened the SUV to reveal a stroller that she had unfolded. I made a face, and Danica said, “Okay, now I see what you were saying… We’ll get another one. It’ll work to hold the munchkin for now, though!” She tickled my side and sat me down. The dress flew up to expose my diaper, and she said, “I’m surprised you’re still dry after that bottle of mommy’s milk!”

“She tends to hold on longer than Matty.” Addison said, “It’s probably her size difference.”

“It’s still early, too; sometimes it takes a couple weeks to do its job.”

I sighed and squeezed Rings, who Addison passed to me.

“Let’s go shopping!” Danica said.

The stroller started moving, and since Danica walked beside me occasionally, looking in on me, I knew it was Addison pushing me. The harness was padded inside the stroller, but it clearly wouldn’t let me out unless they wanted that. The fabric of this stroller felt flimsy. I could feel one of the support bars uncomfortably under my butt; honestly, it wasn’t comfortable! That fact wasn’t made better as I began to feel some rumblings in my gut and knew it was inevitable that I would have to poop while we were out.

I resolved to hold it for a while… ‘Maybe I can get out of the stroller before it happens?’ I hoped.

Addison started in a shop that looked to sell more dresses like the one I had on then. “Ooh, this would look so adorable on her!” She held up another blue dress. This dress featured alternating thin blue and white vertical stripes, which I saw flared way out at the skirt. A little white ruffle ran around the collar and the puffed sleeves. A much thinner band of smocking would fall right at the level of my armpits, with little dark blue flowers embroidered across the middle of the band. A little diamond pattern crossed as a band at the top and bottom of the smocking. The dress had a matching diaper cover with ridiculous ruffles on the back.

“You have to get that!” Danica agreed.

“I’m so glad she still fits into 3T or 4T clothing!”

“And then, of course, you can always find other things for her in Little stores. You know you could shrink her when this is all settled, right?”

“I wouldn’t want to do that, Dani; I like her the height she is. I never wanted to have an endless crawling infant like Mom.”

“I didn’t think you wanted a Little period, so I wouldn’t be surprised if that changed too?” Danica said, making me more nervous as I sat being kept out of the conversations.

The urge to poop unfortunately grew as we waited for a register to pay for six dresses she’d found at that store. Getting the feeling that getting out wouldn’t be an option, I squirmed a bit, trying to get comfortable and some leverage on my bowels. Danica came around, “What’s wrong, kiddo? Are you a squirmy baby?”

I was annoyed but nodded in response.

“Here, let’s let you out while we wait to pay for your pretty new dresses!”

She unbuckled the seat and sat me down on my feet. Right then, I felt a cramp and just resolved to ignore the line of mothers watching and crouched down.

I squeezed and felt a fart release before the poop finally started leaving. “Aww… did you just need to make some poopies?” Danica cooed at me. “I guess that would be kind of harder to do in your seat, huh?”

Her cooing was not making things better at all! When I was done, I stood up, hoping to avoid smashing it against my skin. It really felt nasty and still quite a bit softer than usual. ‘Probably still from that damn laxative yesterday and some from Addison’s milk…’

Without warning, big hands picked me up, “Pee-ew! You’re a stinky baby!” Danica said as her hand landed on the diaper below my skirt, smushing the load more.

I looked at Addison for help, but she was looking away. Danica began bouncing me and said, “She looks upset. Can you hand me her paci?”

A pacifier passed between the sisters and landed in my mouth as we reached the front. “Let’s put you back down here while Auntie Dani buys your new dresses, and then your mommy can change you!”

“What happened to Auntie Dani…?” Addison kidded even as I was harnessed and could now feel the poop moving further up my back thanks to the stupid bar in the cheap stroller.

Fortunately, we soon began moving towards a changing room!

Unfortunately, on the way there, we encountered some people I didn’t want to see like this. Addison’s voice said, “Oh, hi, Professor Westerfield!”

I saw Amanda walking beside Bella, wearing a monkey harness leash, and Megan pushing Meggy in a stroller.

Meggy and Bella looked shocked when they realized who was sitting inside the stroller with a poopy diaper clearly visible underneath a frilly dress!
 
 

Thanks for reading! Please leave a comment if you did so and press the Kudos button! I should be posting a few times a week until this is fully posted here on BC. The full novel is complete (65 chapters plus Epilogue) and published on Amazon if you wish to be impatient though!

All of my published works have AI read audiobooks available for them. I’ve spent some time tweaking pronunciations, and they’re pretty good when you can’t afford thousands to pay for audiobook creation! They’re a $1.99 addon to the $5.99 price on Kindle. If you’ve already purchase the book it should come up as only $1.99. They’re also available on Audible directly, but that’s $9.99 versus the cheaper price! https://www.amazon.com/author/babysofia
