Little Hope - Exchanged Book 2 (Diaper Dimension)

Chapter 16
Cute Camouflage

“WELL, HOPEFULLY YOU’LL be enough of a friend and sister that I can be…”

Right then Amanda entered, “Okay my little princesses, bath time!”

“Do we have to right now?” Bella asked nervously.

“Yes, you have to,” Amanda said, “I don’t want to have smelly babies in the house. Only clean ones!”

She reached down and tickled Bella for a moment before opening the gate and leading us by the hands down to the bathroom. The faucet was already running as we came in and she shut it off after checking the temperature of the water. I decided to use that moment to wet the diaper I was in so I wouldn’t have a wet one soon after getting into a new one. ‘I suppose I could pee in the tub… but besides being gross - that’s kind of rude to Bella,’ I thought to myself.

“Come here Stacy,” she said to me as I walked towards where she knelt by the tub. She quickly unsnapped my outfit and untapped my diaper where I stood. After she used a baby wipe on my diaper area, she picked me up and I was sat in the tub. I could just see Bella’s head over the tub and heard her diaper ripped open as Amanda stripped her and placed her on the opposite side of the tub.

She squeaked and began to cover herself, but then stopped when Amanda kept her arms at her side as a reminder, “This is going to take some getting used to…”

“Tell me about it,” I agreed.

“Well unless you want washed in the sink Stacy,” I blushed knowing she’d probably do it, “this is how my daughters are going to bathe. There’s more than enough room for both of you in there,” she reminded me with a fairly firm look that then softened, “look, for the near future at least you both need to know I expect LPS to make a visit at any time. That’s the most obvious ploy for that group to take to get you both. If it looks like we’re not taking care of you as they think we should… it might go badly.”

“What will they do if they see my computer?” I asked nervously.

“You’re enrolled in college and there’s a site blocker on our connection.”

“And me?” Bella asked nervously, “Don’t they expect me drooling or something?”

I looked back and forth as Amanda sighed, “There are some things that we’re going to probably have to do for appearances with you… Definitely going to have to get you a haircut for instance,” she told her.

I watched her fight to keep her tears coming from back, as I knew her long hair had to be something that she loved to have to show she wasn’t a baby… A moment later though she said, “well hair will grow back I guess.”

“I think anytime we go out I may have to use the princess diapers on you too…” Amanda muttered as she began washing my hair. “I’m going to also get a couple things like a walker to match Stacy’s for you to sit in at times.”

“I can’t just use hers?” She asked.

Amanda laughed, “I’ll have to go to the little store for yours… while you are small, you’re most definitely not the size of a regular infant like Stacy is. You’re more of a toddler who wouldn’t need one to learn to walk since she already knows by then.”

“What can I do though? I…” Bella paused, “I can’t just sit still doing nothing,” Bella added quietly as water was rinsed through my hair.

“Daddy and I have a few ideas, but we’ll have to wait until we get your apartment cleared out. You may have to play with your doll for a few days… and maybe I’ll see about getting another tablet so you have one to do stuff on too.”

“What about my computer?”

Amanda snorted as she said, “Stacy you can open your eyes now,” and began running a wash mitt over me. “Bella, sweetie, that’s not a computer – that’s a dinosaur!”

Bella looked sad, “It was all I could afford…”

“Well, tomorrow I’ll get everything off of it file wise that you might need and probably throw it out. If I can find something small enough, I’ll replace it with another computer for you though.”

“Really?” She asked, clearly surprised as Amanda went over to her.

“Well it’s not really fair that your baby sister would get to have her own computer but you wouldn’t, now is it?”

She shook her head, “No, it’s not fair. I used to be the baby of my family and got all of the toys… that’s the way it still should be,” she said with a rather weird grin that made me think it might actually be a real smile.

“You’re still the baby of the family,” I told her, “or at least A baby of the family.”

She stuck her tongue out at me. “So, I can use it?”

“Sometimes sweetie… like I said, we’re going to have to be careful. The people we tangled with this weekend are not smalltime crooks. They have a lot of power and reach,” she paused, “and I have no doubt at some point they are going to make an even bigger attempt at all of us again.”

“I know… I’m sorry,” Bella said. “If I hadn’t gotten in with that jerk…”

“Then I never would have met someone that’s really awesome!” I told her with a smile.

“And I wouldn’t have gotten a second little girl to spoil either!” Amanda told her with a kiss to her head as she began washing her hair.

“So Stacy, what exactly is tomorrow again?” Amanda asked me, “I know they sent you an e-mail earlier and copied me, but I haven’t had a chance to look.”

“They copied you?” I said, surprised as I reached for one of the bath toys she had thrown in the tub with us.

“You’re adopted Stacy, that means like any child I’ll get a copy of any correspondence from the university,” she told me.

I squeezed the little squirt toy towards the water as I replied, “Oh… I guess that makes sense.”

“So…?” She asked as she dumped a cup of water over Bella’s hair.

“Well in the morning until 6pm they have check-in for students and getting moved into dorms – not that we have to worry about that.”

“No, but I figure we should get there somewhat early, we’ll probably go a little before it’s supposed to start to get your student ID and such, what time is that?”

“Nine I think,” I told her as I visualized the screen from earlier with perfect clarity. Ever since the nanite treatment I began occasionally wondering if I hadn’t gained an eidetic memory.

“Then?”

“There’s a luncheon for new students and parents from eleven on. After that there’s some session I have to go to since I’m a little. That goes from three until four-thirty. After that they have dinner marked, I assume I would come home?” I asked and she nodded, “Then there’s an orientation meeting that we’re supposed to go to the dorms for… they’re assigning that at check-in for commuters, before some sort of big thing at the stadium at seven-thirty.”

“Busy day,” Amanda said.

“Yes, lots of opportunities for littles to be adopted on their first day,” Bella said matter-of-factly.

“Any bets on how many times they try and adopt Stacy tomorrow?” Fred said from the doorway. Bella immediately covered herself with bubbles – or tried to as Amanda washed her with the mitt.

“Three,” I said.

“Ten,” Bella claimed making me blush.

“Twice,” Fred put in.

“Once,” Amanda said with a smile, “I have a feeling whenever it happens Stacy will make the one time memorable.”

“No guarantees, but I like Amanda’s thoughts…” I laughed nervously.

“Come on you two, let’s get you dressed and in bed so you can be ready for tomorrow,” Amanda said pulling the stopper out of the tub.

I thought of something then, “Umm… Mommy?”

“Yes Stacy?” she said as she began wrapping Bella in a towel.

“Is there any way I could go for a swim before we go tomorrow?”

She looked down at me as she began drying me with a towel. “You didn’t get enough in this weekend?”

“I was just thinking it would be better if it was a habit that I did every day?” I paused, “At least until it gets cold?”

“If we’re going just before nine that would add at least two hours?” She told me as she wrapped the towel firmly around me.

I grimaced but nodded, “yeah?”

“Tell you what, tomorrow is going to be hectic enough with getting the first day going and getting Bella’s apartment taken care of… How about we start on Tuesday with it?”

I looked up at her as she dried and wrapped Bella, “Okay, fair enough.”

“Let’s get you two into your diapers and then I’ll dry your hair,” she told us while reaching down to take our hands and walk us back across the hallway to our room.

“Bella let’s take care of you first,” she said as she reached down and picked Bella up, “I’m a little more worried about you having an accident than Stacy right now.”

She sighed, “I wish I could say you were wrong… I haven’t felt myself going most of this afternoon.”

“I almost think it’s easier that way,” I found myself saying.

“What?” Both Bella and Amanda said simultaneously.

“Why would you want to just go and not know it?” Bella asked incredulously.

“If you have to use them anyway it’s better to just all of the sudden know your diaper is wet, then dread having to go…” I told her as Amanda finished taping a diaper on her and sat her down on the ground next to me only in her diaper.

Amanda leaned down and picked me up, “But, if you don’t feel yourself going poopy than it will be pointless to have taken the risk you did to come here,” she reminded me as she placed me on the changing table.

As she unfolded a diaper and grabbed my ankles to push my butt in the air, “I know… I’m just saying,” I said.

She had me taped into the thick pink princess diaper quickly and sat me on the ground. Bella had apparently had problems standing in her diaper and had just sat down to avoid standing bowlegged. Amanda dug through the closet for a moment and came back with a pink one-piece sleep bag in Bella’s size. I watched her unzip it and she kneeled down on the ground and quickly dressed Bella in it. “I can’t walk in this…” She whined.

“Probably can’t crawl either,” Amanda said with a giggle, “but you look adorable and you’re going to bed anyway – so it doesn’t matter then, huh?”

As she tickled Bella a little she said, “No tickle!”

Amanda left her semi-sitting up and helped me dress into one of my footed pajamas. I was relieved since I didn’t really like the sleep bags. Looking over at Bella when I was dressed, I could see she had been bitten by the butterflies too. There was a big white butterfly embroidered in the middle of the chest, and a few flowers and smaller butterflies elsewhere. As I looked closer, I realized the zipper was covered with a protective tab that was probably little proof. Contrasting with her my footie pajamas did zip from the foot up to the chest, but I could easily get to the zipper if I wanted to.

Amanda picked us both up and hugged us tight. “You’re both adorable!”

“Thanks,” Bella said looking down at her outfit, “not exactly what I had in mind for fashion though…”

“I don’t know why you two don’t both just love those sleep bags! They look so comfy and cute!” Amanda said.

“Then why aren’t you wearing one?” I asked with a smile.

“They don’t make them in my size silly,” Amanda said tickling my side as she stood up.

“I bet I could make one for you Mommy,” Bella said with a smirk.

Fred came in then, “Make what for Mommy?”

“A sleep bag like I’m wearing,” Bella told him with a smile, “Mommy doesn’t know why Stacy and I don’t love them… Although Stacy you’re not wearing one?”

I shook my head, “I don’t like them…”

“So, she gets to choose but I don’t?” Bella asked a little nervously.

“Just one time?” Amanda asked.

“Bella, it’s probably a good idea for the next few weeks if we dress you a little more like that anyway…” he said.

“Why?” I asked for Bella.

He looked at me and took me from Amanda’s arms, “Your grandpa called a little bit ago and said an unknown group of people asking a lot of questions about us…”

“The people from Selegnasol?” I asked nervously.

“Seems likely,” he agreed as we watched Amanda sit down in the rocking chair with Bella.

“What do you think they’re going to do?” Bella asked nervously.

“Not sure yet,” Fred told her. “But you two should know you’re the safest two littles on the planet when you’re at home with us.”

“How so?” I asked as he shifted me to a typical baby cradling position and began rocking me back and forth a little.

“We have a state-of-the-art security system for one,” he told me. “Second you have your Mommy and Daddy who will protect you,” he said reassuringly.

“What about away from you?” I asked a little nervously.

“Well nothing has really changed there,” he told me frowning a little. “You have your little protect watch on, your tracker, and there will be people watching out for you,” he told me.

“That being said Stacy,” Amanda said as she rocked Bella too, “you’re going to have to be very careful. Avoid going anywhere on campus without one of us or Megan.”

I nodded, “What about tomorrow? I assume walking around with my Mommy all day is probably not normal?”

She grimaced but nodded, “After the parents’ luncheon, I’ll have to leave you at the little’s event, but I’ll pick you up for dinner and then drop you back off for the orientation meeting and Griffins Fly.”

“What is that anyway?” I asked with a yawn. The rocking from Fred was soothing and making me sleepy.

“It’s a traditional event for the university with the freshman class. They’ll play a few games and then have everyone pose for a picture. After that littles are sent back to the dorm while the regular students will keep on having the event.”

“And me?”

“I’ll come to watch that one and pick you up when it’s done,” she told me with a smile.

“Okay,” I said with another yawn.

“Fred, why don’t you go get the bottle from the warmer downstairs and feed it to Stacy?”

“Okay,” he said, “not sure she’ll need much though, you’re getting heavy Princess,” he said with a smile. Just as he walked out, he turned and I saw Amanda pull down her blouse to feed Bella.

He carried me downstairs and as promised there was a bottle in the warmer. As he picked it up and brought it to my mouth I asked, “What’s in it?”

“Just regular milk,” he told me with a smile. “Mommy and I want to avoid her milk with you until the weekend when we can see if you’re okay or not.”

I sighed but accepted the nipple in my mouth and began nursing the milk. ‘It’s not as good as Amanda’s,’ I thought sadly as I suckled and he rocked me. Before long I must have drifted to sleep.

THE NEXT MORNING Amanda picked me up out of the crib and said, “Morning Stacy,” quietly while leaving Bella sleeping in the crib. As she felt my diaper, she noted that it was dry, “Dry again, huh?” She said with a bit of disappointment in her voice.

I shrugged, “You could go back to nursing me at night you know…”

She hugged me, “This weekend we’ll try again if you really want to, but I don’t want you getting kicked out of the university for a poopy diaper during orientation week!”

She carried me downstairs and sat me in the highchair. “Here,” she said handing me the small cup I’d been using for a coffee cup.

The black elixir of life needed no invitations on drinking it. I took a long sip and smiled. “Oh my God I missed this during the trip!”

She smiled at me and kissed me on my forehead, “Drink it while I’m making breakfast before your sister gets up.”

“You’re making me rush,” I whined.

“Maybe I’ll be nice and let you have a second cup?” she suggested.

I smiled at her and took a big sip as a response. It wasn’t incredibly hot and I decided she must be letting my cup cool off a bit before letting me drink it, but the beverage was still an amazing treat. Slowly the caffeine began making its way into my system and alertness trickled into my brain. Apparently also into my bladder…

I sighed and released the urine into the dry diaper and took another sip of the coffee. I watched Amanda move around the kitchen quickly making some scrambled eggs, pancakes, bacon, and sausage.

I had just finished my first cup of coffee when Fred came downstairs with Bella in his arms, “Looks like we got down here just in time Bella!” He told her while tickling her side for a second. He sat her down in her highchair, strapped her into the safety harness, and then put the tray on.

He looked at my empty cup with a shake of his head, “Mandy, she drank a cup already?”

Amanda laughed and said, “There’s still plenty for you dear, it’s not like she can even drink that much.”

“Yeah, but first it’s her, then Bella will want to steal my elixir too!”

Bella made a face, “Not likely, coffee is nasty…”

I think all three of us made a face at her then before Amanda said, “I’m glad you think that so I don’t have to worry about any deal making about it. Your sister is an addict that convinced us to supply her,” she joked.

“More please, Daddy?” I said in response while glaring at them for making fun of me.

He shook his head, “I guess,” and filled my cup from the gigantic pot that I doubt I could even dent with six of my size cups, “you’re going to leave me with nothing though… and what will I drink?”

I actually did the math in my head and said, “Daddy that pot contains like thirty-eight of my cups in it, you’ll still have plenty.” I stuck my tongue out at him as he sat the refilled cup down on my tray.

He gave me a quick hug and kissed my head before sitting back down with his own cup. The contented look on his face let me know that he too was an addict! Before long Amanda placed a plate of food and a sippy cup down on my tray, before getting Bella the same.

“Thank you,” she said quietly.

“You’re welcome,” she told her and lightly touched her nose.

I found myself nervously pecking at the food and eating slowly. ‘What was it going to be like to be going to college with these giants?’ I worried a bit more than I had before. As always Amanda cooked very well and it was all very tasty, but it was certainly tough to keep eating with my nerves growing. Before I knew it, Amanda had already scarfed down her own breakfast and took her plate to the sink to rinse. After she washed her hands she plugged in a curling iron and sat it down on the countertop. Then I watched her grab a brush and some ribbons before suddenly pulling my highchair towards the counter on its wheels.

I squeaked for a second because it wasn’t expected, “What?” escaped my lips.

She laughed, “You can keep eating, but I have to get your hair done, and then get you dressed pretty quickly sweetheart. I know we have all day to get you checked in, but I would rather us get in on the early side.”

I nodded and tried to pick up the pace of eating the pieces of toast I had on my plate while she began brushing my hair. I had just finished the final piece when I felt her begin gathering my hair into bunched pigtails on either side of my head. After securing each with a rubber band she took the curling iron and began doing something behind my head. “What are you doing?” I finally asked.

“I’m curling your pigtails,” she told me with a smile.

“Won’t I look even more like a baby?” I asked her nervously.

“Nothing’s going to stop that,” Bella said from across the table with a plate that was empty. “It’s a smart move though.”

“Why?” I asked.

“The worst thing a little can do around bigs is try and pretend they are adults too…” she said with a sigh. “I made that mistake Friday…”

“But…?”

“Different situation anyway…” she said after a quick suck from her sippy cup. “You’ll have less problems from Amazons if you look like someone is taking care of you. Being well dressed with cute hair and accessories will tell most bigs to leave you alone.”

I nodded and Amanda said, “don’t move right now sweetie.”

She worked on my hair for a while longer in the back before brushing my bangs forward and bringing a pair of scissors into view. I winced as she said, “close your eyes for a second sweetie,” and heard the snip of the scissors.

“You didn’t cut…”

“Not all of it, just trimming those bangs of yours. I never did get you into a salon for a haircut last week,” she reassured me and then used the curling iron on them as well. “I’ll try and get an appointment for both of you this week when you don’t have anything else going on. Now, I’m almost done, let me just get some pretty ribbons in your hair and then we’ll take you upstairs to get you dressed in your uniform.”

I nodded and watched with interest as she cut some green and yellow ribbon from spools she held. She began tying them around the bunches and I heard her use the scissors behind me on the ribbon, “Curling the ribbon?” I asked curiously.

“Uh-huh,” she said a moment later when she was done, “you are going to be so adorable!”

Bella smiled at me, “She already is. Could…” she paused, “could you do my hair like that please?”

“I’ll have to do it quickly,” she told her.

Just then I felt a rumbling in my stomach and asked, “while you do her hair could you take my diaper off and let me use my potty?”

She pushed my highchair back to the table and then asked Fred, “Fred can you help her?”

“Sure,” he smiled at me and put down the tablet he had been reading and came over to where Amanda had pushed my chair. He picked the mostly empty plate off of the tray and looked at me with the coffee, “you have a little left?”

I nodded and chugged it.

He smiled at me, “I figured that’s how you would feel.” He pulled the tray off and unbuckled me from the harness. While I still sat in the highchair, he unzipped my sleeper and pulled my naked body out of the highchair and sat me on the ground.

I looked down at the dry princess diaper and asked, “can you please undo these tapes…? They’re little resistant.” I blushed as I said the last part.

“Sure Stacy,” he said with a smile and leaned over to the ground and pulled the tapes loose making me. My body blushed red all over as I hurried over to sit down on the potty. Amanda had pulled Bella to next to the counter and I watched as she turned from staring at me while I did my business. A good chunk of poop came out as I pushed out. It splatted a little, and next a bit of urine splashed after it. I hadn’t realized I’d been holding any, so that kind of surprised me.

I sat there to make sure I was done before Fred approached with a wipe and asked, “All done?”

I nodded.

“Good girl!” He said with a smile and wiped my bottom carefully.

I blushed as he went to dump it out while I continued to stand stark naked in the kitchen. Amanda was still just curling Bella’s hair like it was an everyday thing for me to be naked for everyone to see. ‘As much as I want to get used to things… this is still really hard to deal with,’ I grumbled to myself.

“Fred, you want to get her dressed?” she asked as she kept working on Bella’s hair. “Or at least get her into a diaper?”

“She’s wearing her school uniform today, right?” he confirmed as he picked me up and held my bare bottom in his hand making me blush again.

“Yes, I think the regular one is the one she’ll want today. Maybe tomorrow I can talk here into wearing the summer uniform, but today should be the more formal one I think.”

“Okay,” he said with a smile and squeezed me, “let’s go get you dressed Princess.”

I leaned into his warm body as the air-conditioning was quickly chilling my body temperature. He stepped over the baby gate to our room and laid me down on the changing table. “Let’s see here… where did Mandy put these…?” he asked to himself and confused me. I had seen the Pampers and the Princess diapers sitting out. “Here we go!” he said and pulled out a diaper that was thinner than a Pamper.

“What’s that one?”

“One of the ultra-thin ones your Mommy bought you?”

I thought back and vaguely remembered thinner ones being mentioned, but had forgotten. It was covered with a checkered pink print that reminded me of the gingham summer dress option. “Do they hold okay?” I asked embarrassed.

“They should, I know a lot of littles wear these for when they are required to wear them. It’ll certainly hold a mess, and leaking wouldn’t be a big problem if it happened. Just remember not to poop in a class and it wouldn’t matter because you are both diapered and adopted. Worst that would happen is an Amazon would change you into a thicker diaper.”

“That could be scary by itself,” I told him as he lifted my rear and sat me back down on the thin padding.

“Well the other option is wearing thick diapers all the time, but those Princess diapers and walking for you don’t go well together once you’ve wet them…” he reminded me.

I nodded, “And the Pampers?” I asked nervously.

“You can ask Bella, but I have a feeling most littles would make fun of you if you were wearing one.”

“Oh,” I told him. “But won’t they be wearing diapers?”

“The smart ones will,” he agreed, “but I think they’ll be more likely to wear what you’re wearing right now or the plainest pull-ups they can find.”

I nodded as he finished powdering and taping me into the diaper. He sat me down on the floor and then went into the closet and came back with one of my uniforms. He handed me the blouse first, and I carefully pulled the white garment over my head and around my hair. I buttoned a couple of the polo like buttons and then looked back up at him. “Arms up!” he told me as he pulled the jumper dress over the top of my head. He zipped the back and then smoothed it all for me, “looks like Daddy’s getting better at this dressing you thing, huh?”

I smirked at him, “I guess.”

“Your shoes are over there. Do you want to wear tights or the socks today?”

I looked at the shoes and said, “Socks please.”

He picked me back up and helped me get the long white knee length socks over my legs before setting me back down by my shoes. I put the Mary Jane’s on one foot at a time and buckled them before walking over to look at myself in the mirror. I stared for a long moment at myself. The jumper, the top, the hair, and the shoes meant there was no way I looked like a college student. I barely looked like I should be going to preschool!

“You’re adorable,” Bella said from Amanda’s arms interrupting my thoughts.

“I can’t go to school like this…” I whined.

“Why not?” Amanda asked as she came over the gate.

“No one will believe I’m a college student…”

Bella laughed, “Stacy the way you’re dressed is the only way that people will believe you’re a college student. You’re clearly in the right uniform. The preschool and daycare uniforms are a lot different, and the regular school aged uniforms all have tartan patterns.”

“You tried all this on before,” Amanda reminded me.

I squeezed my fists and nodded, “I know…”

She passed Bella to Fred who had stood quietly through the exchange. “You can get Bella ready on your own, and go get her stuff, right?”

“I’ve got it,” Fred reassured her. “I’ll even make sure to cook dinner!”

“Now I’m scared,” she teased him.

“Let’s triple check your bag quickly Stacy, and then let’s get out of here,” she told me.

I shook my head with the bunches flopping one more time before walking over to my desk where my new backpack was sitting next to my old one. I opened it up and said, “I’ve got extra diapers, wipes, pens, pencils, notebook… where’s my tablet?”

She handed it to me along with my phone. I placed the tablet inside the main part of the bag next to my spare diapers and then opened up the front compartment to place my phone in a handy spot there next to some pens. “I shouldn’t even really need this today?” I asked.

“You shouldn’t, but it’s better to be prepared. That session this afternoon is one I don’t know what they’re doing. Having your supplies is smart in case they’re looking to see if you are incapable of coming with them?”

I shrugged but nodded, “I have everything then though, right?”

“We need to throw some water bottles in there too.”

“Why?” I asked. “Can’t I get water and stuff at the university?”

She shook her head, “You will probably be fine almost every time Stacy, but if it’s not a sealed bottle of water you’ve brought from home, do not drink anything while you’re at school. I’ll be happy to get you something too if you need to find me on campus, but there are so many drinks out there that are spiked…”

“Like what almost happened to me,” Bella reminded me now dressed in a short and very frilly pink dress. The princess diaper she was wearing was just barely visible as she stood there, leaving no doubt as to her status in life.

I sighed, “Got it.”

“Don’t trust anyone,” Bella told me and toddled over to me to give me a hug.

“Thanks for the advice Bella,” I told her and gently returned the hug.

“Okay then, let’s go,” Amanda said and picked me up while I held the backpack in my arms.

“Have a good day,” Fred told us both as he hugged us.

“Thanks Daddy,” I told him with a smile.

The short walk down to the garage in her arms passed quickly and she buckled me into the infant car seat that I had become accustomed to. Soon the garage door was open and we pulled out onto the street with the view of the house fading as I watched nervously. ‘I can’t believe I’m finally beginning college!’
