Baby for new year

Epilogue

Chapter Description: Jimmy finally asks questions

                A few days later, Jimmy toddles into Lisa’s room to find her packing. «Oh no! », Jimmy thought.  «We leaving soon.  Everyone see me like this. »  Jimmy whines to Lisa, “How you do dis to me?  Why you do dis to me?”

                Lisa said, “Remember, on our second date, we went to see that hypnotist and I volunteered you to go up on stage?  He was a friend of mine and he left a post hypnotic trigger word to put you back in a trance.  Over the months we were “dating”, I implanted several suggestions, like making you have to go to the bathroom anytime someone asked if you needed to go potty.  Or to wet the bed when put in bedwetter pants.  I even made spankings hurt more and left you too shy to make a scene no matter how embarrassed you were.”

                Jimmy asked, “my cwothes?”  Lisa said, “I bribed the ticket agent to “lose” your luggage.”  “I also slipped a laxative in your drink during our layover, so you’d have to go to the bathroom as soon as we landed.”, she said. “The chocolate milk I gave you New Year’s Eve was made with Ex-Lax”

                “How I get smaller?”, Jimmy asked.  “The same way I got taller.”, Lisa said. “There’s an herb that grows wild around here that we use in our food.  By itself, it has no effect, but once a person has taken one of two catalysts, it causes them to either grow by 40% or shrink by 25%.  I gave you the shrinking catalyst a couple of months ago when I made you dinner. I’m 7’3” now and you’re just shy of 4 feet.”

                “Why you do dis to me?”, Jimmy all but crying.  Lisa replied, “Because, though you’d never admit it, it’s what you want.  While you were in a trance we talked about.  You hated pretending to be a grown-up.  You wanted someone to take care of you.  A daddy, specifically.  Steve’s always wanted someone to take care of, so this seemed like the perfect solution.”

                “I no go home with you?”, Jimmy wonderingly asked.  “No, silly, you’ll be going home with Steve.”  «Steve take care of me.  Steve love me. », Jimmy realized.  Steve had been taking care of Jimmy since they first met.

                “I go find Daddy.  You have nice trip.”, Jimmy said with a huge grin on his face.

A few months later, early May

                “Jimmy, it’s time to wake up.”, Steve said.  “Okay, Daddy.”, Jimmy said brightly.  “I go watch Paw Patrol.”  “No”, Steve said, “We’ve got to get you changed and then we’re going to Nanny and Pappy’s house.  Aunt Lisa’s coming home for the summer break.  She’s bringing her new friend, Billy, with her.”
