Chapter 10

Once they got home she told him to go play while she made dinner. As Sarah left to the kitchen he entertained himself with his new toy cars, he crashed them, raced them, and crashed them again. He looked like any other kid. The biggest thing was that he was having fun. He wasn’t a twenty five year old man again. He was just a little kid who wanted to have some fun. Sarah noticed this and her heart just warmed.

“DINNER” Sarah shouted

Drew walked into the kitchen and sat down to eat his meal. He wasn’t very happy with it; Dinosaur chicken nuggets and macaroni and cheese. But he didn’t complain. He just started to eat. But then he noticed something, it wasn’t the bland food he thought it would be, it was delicious, it tasted like some of the best food he had had in years. He started to eat faster and faster. Many times during the meal Sarah had to ask him to slow down. And when he was finished she pulled out some ice cream. Drew face gave off the biggest smile you could imagine. When he finished his ice cream he went back into the living room and continued to play with his cars again. It seemed like it was only a few minutes later when Sarah came in and told him that it was time for bed

“Aww, do I have to?” Drew whined like any other kid would

“Yes you do.” Sarah said

“Fine” Drew said in a frustrated tone

When they got up stairs Drew got ready for bed. And Sarah found that this would be the best time to bring up his “little problem”

“Honey, we need to talk” Sarah said

“About what?” Drew said nervously

“Well you remember what happened last night. Right?” Sarah said

“Yes” Drew hung his head in shame

“And we don’t want that happening again”

“No” Drew said

“And do you know what we can do to fix it?” Sarah asked

“No” Drew Said

“This is how we fix it” Sarah said as she picked up the package of goodnites and put them on the bed.

“No, please don’t, no.” Drew pleaded

“This is the only way. You’re only going to get younger and this will only get worse” Sarah said

“But I’m not a baby” Drew said as the tears started to well up in his eyes

“I know you’re not honey. Think of these more as protective underpants than as diapers” Sarah said

“Fine” Drew said realizing that there was no way around it.

Drew asked Sarah to leave while he put his new underpants on. He felt like the last of his dignity was being stripped from him. He started to cry softly as he knew it would only get worse. Once he pulled up his pajama bottoms up he crawled back into bed and called Sarah back in.

“Goodnight honey” Sarah said as she turned out the light

“Goodnight Mommy” Drew said in-between two yawns

Sarah just smiled as she knew the mental regression side of things was starting to kick-in. He was playing with his toys, he was eating kids foods (and enjoying them) and most of all, he was calling her mommy a lot. She then went back downstairs and started to think about he Drew never talked about his childhood, he never even talked about his parents; they weren’t even at their wedding. These are all questions that she would bring up tomorrow.
