Childlike wonders

Chapter Description: Nick wakes up to find that not everything is as it seems.

Nick awoke to the morning light with the suns rays blinding him. He felt a strong urge to pee so he threw off his blanket and rushed into the bathroom. He really had to go. He went to unzip the front of his fuzzy pajamas, but when he found no zipper he remembered that his mom put him in the kind that zips up in the back. He ran to his mom’s room waking her up saying "Mommy i gotta go potty."

"Oh, sorry honey." She turned him around and unzipped the back of his pajamas down to his waist and told him "There you go," with a playful pat on his bum. He ran back to the bathroom and pulled them down the rest of the way and then pulled down his cartoon decorated underwear. It was a wonderful feeling to be relieved of the pressure. He was just happy that he didn’t wake up wet like he had for the past weeks. His underwear was a little damp, but they weren’t soaked. He only dribbled in them. He pulled his undies back up when he was done and kicked off his pajamas that pooled around his feet. He picked them up and threw them in the laundry basket and then went to the kitchen where his mom was making herself a cup of coffee. Seeing him walking into the kitchen in nothing but his undies she asked "What do you want for breakfast sweetie?"

"umm...cheerios." He responded. She poured him a bowl and set it down on the table

"Orange juice?" She asked.

"Yes please." He sat down and gobbled up his cheerios spilling some of the milk down his front. His mom came by and wiped down his front when he was done telling him to go watch cartoons as she got Matt ready for school. Nick went into the living room, turned on the TV and settled himself down in front of it. Nick herd Matt talking to his mom in the kitchen.

He herd Matt asking his mom "Where is he?"

"Hes watching cartoons in the living room. He looks to be about 6." Matt came rushing into the living room to get a look at Nick and just smiled seeing him sitting in front of the TV in his little boy underwear. Matt walked over to him and ruffled his brown hair asking "How you doing little man."

"Good." Nick replied engaged in watching his cartoons.

Matt went back into the kitchen and Nick could hear him saying "Oh my god, hes so different. How little will he be when its done?" Nick didn’t understand what they were talking about.

His mom replied in a hush voice "shhh...they said around toddler age. We are going to go shopping today while you are at school. It should all be done by Friday."

"Hes gonna be in diapers?" asked Matt sounding amazed.

Nick hearing this rushed into the kitchen and yelled at both of them "Am not. I’m a big boy."

"Of course you are honey. We aren’t talking about you. Your....uhhh....cousin Sam......he is going to be staying with us while your Aunty Louise visits her in-laws. We are going to get some supplies today while Matt is at school. Now go get some clothes on." Nick left and went to his room to get clothes. When he was gone his mom told Matt "You go take a shower and get ready as well. You are going to have to take the bus until you can get your license."

"Do i get his truck when i get my license?" asked Matt.

"Yeah of course, not like hes gonna be using it." she responded.

Nick was digging through his draws and found a pair of gray sweatpants and a yellow t-shirt. He also put on a pair of white briefs. While looking through his draws he found a red shirt that was way too big to fit him. He grabbed it and brought it out to his mom and asked "why is this in my draws?"

His mom grabbed it out of his hands and said "Oh this must be Matt’s." Nick thought that it looked too big to even fit Matt, but dismissed the thought as his mom took it into her room and saw her throw it into a box.

When Matt was done getting ready he left and walked up to the bus stop. His mom grabbed her purse and they went out to the car. She opened the door for him and helped him into his booster seat and buckled him in. As they were backing out of the driveway Nick saw his truck parked on the lawn and his mind got triggered and he realized that something was off. He said "My truck."

His mom being a little taken aback by this said "no silly head that is Matt’s truck."

"Nah uh. He can’t drive yet"

"Your Uncle Bob gave it to him so he could fix it up and use it when he got his license. remember?"

"Oh yeah." Nick said smiling feeling like a fool.

They walked around the mall and went to the baby store. Nick followed his mom around as she browsed the crib section. She found a white wooden crib that she loved and placed an order for it to be delivered to her house tomorrow. They walked around the store and picked up a few packs of diapers, a pack of pull ups, some bibs, pacifiers, bottles and some onesies. His mom ordered a highchair, and then they went to the clothing section and picked out some baby clothes. Their cart was absolutely full by the end. They went over to the pharmacy where Nick’s mom picked up some medication over the counter. Nick asked "Whats that for mommy?"

"Oh its just vitamins," she responded. They went to go check out their items. They waited in line behind some old lady who was taking her time digging through coupons. Nick felt the need to pee.

He tugged on his moms sleeve saying "Mommy i gotta go potty."

"Can you hold it. We are almost done." Without any warning a wet spot appeared around Nicks crotch as tears rolled down his face.

"No." he said through sobs. Nick was picked up by his mom.

She held him on her hip as she kissed him on the forehead saying "It’s okay. Don’t worry. Big boys sometimes have accidents." She put Nick in the baby seat facing her in the cart as she put the items on the counter to be rung up. When they were done they left the store and went out to the car. Nick was put in his booster seat as his mom filled up the trunk with all their purchases. His mom took a pull up out of the package and brought it over to his side of the car. She opened up the door and placed it next to him. He saw it and began to cry.

"I’m a big boy. I don’t need diapers."

"You can’t go around in wet underwear; you’ll get a rash." She slid his pants off reviling his soaked underwear. She slid those to his ankles as well. All the while he was sitting down unbuckled in his seat. She took them off his ankles and thread his feet into the holes of the pull ups and pulled them up into place having to make him stand for a second. She put his wet pants and underwear in one of the bags they had and threw them in a nearby trash can. They left and his mom asked him "Do you want to go get a happy meal?"

"Yes please." He responded sounding a little happier.

*************

When they got home Nick was taken out of his booster seat. He was about to go inside to change out of his pull ups when his mom said to him "Nick, leave those pull ups on for now. I want to make sure you’re not going to have another accident."

"I’m not a baby. I wont have another accident."

"I know you’re not, but just leave them on just in case. If you are dry by tonight then you can take them off." Nick rushed off inside, upset about having to wear the babyish garment and went into the living room to watch cartoons as his mom brought in what they bought.

Matt came home around noon time and saw Nick sitting on the couch wearing just a yellow shirt and some pull ups. Matt found his mom replacing his own clothes with babies clothes in his drawers. He asked "Why are you putting baby clothes in my draws?"

"Oh hi honey," she said turning around, "I though since this room is closer to mine that Nick would get this one and you could have his. Besides his room is bigger anyways."

"Awesome. You should have seen it at school today. Not a single senior there. Tim’s sister told me that hes already back in diapers. Said he was only about 3 years old this mourning."

"Your brothers going to be back in diapers soon. He wet himself at the store today. Oh how i love having my little guy back. I have everything hes going to need. I picked up the lactation meds at the pharmacy as well."

"ewww...your going to breastfeed him."

"Yeah, i did for both of you when you were toddlers. Can you help me move around the rooms?"

"yeah sure," he responded.

*****************

Nick sat on the couch watching cartoons as his mom and brother moved around the rooms. He noticed a strange warm feeling spreading throughout his crotch. He looked down and saw that the front of his pull up was puffy looking. The warmth was a nice and comforting feeling. Wetting a pull up was a lot different than wetting his underwear. When he wet his underwear it just felt sticky and uncomfortable. He knew of course that he obviously wet himself, but he couldn’t accept it because he realized that he felt no need to pee at all, it just happened. He din’t want to admit to his mom that he wet his pull up, so he got off the couch and went to find the package with the rest of them. He looked in the bathroom having to be quiet as to not alert his mom and brother of where he was. He could hear them in his room taking apart his bed. He found the package in the closet, but it was up too high for him to reach. He crept into the kitchen to get a chair for him to stand on. He tried to lift the chair, but couldn’t get it off the ground so he decided to push it very slowly to the bathroom. His mom and brother were preoccupied so they would probably not leave his room. The chair scrapped on the ground and made a screeching sound. Nick stopped hoping they couldn’t hear it. He moved the chair slowly the rest of the way into the bathroom. He set it up so he could climb on it and retrieve the package. As he was climbing on the chair his mom stepped into the bathroom and yelled "Nick, get down from there now. What are you doing." Nick climbed off the chair with his head down in defeat. he faced his mom and she got a good look at his soaked pull ups.

"I had an accident."

She went over to the closet and grabbed a pull up. She pulled down his wet pull up as she said "Well it looks like your going to have to wear these for tonight. Maybe we will try later and see if you can stay dry." She pulled the new pull up to his waist and gave him a pat on his bottom and told him to go back to watching TV. She carried the chair back to the kitchen and then went back to moving his bed.

He went back to the living room and looked out the front window at the truck parked on the front lawn. He couldn’t put his finger on it, but something about it gave him a funny feeling. He could faintly remember driving around in it. He remembered when he first got his license. He remembered having sex with his girlfriend in the front seat. He stared at the truck confused by these memories and thoughts as he touched the front of his pull up in utter confusion. He couldn’t have possibly been driving. He was only 5 years old and still had potty accidents. His brain began to hurt as all his memories rushed into his mind. It was like those memories were there, but his own self was trying to fight that they ever happened. He was overcome by fear as his thoughts collided. He ran into his room where his mom was taking apart his bed and cried saying "Mom, I’m a big boy."

"Of course you are." she said rubbing his back as she hugged her son.

"No I’m 18."

"What are you talking about honey, you’re only 5."

"No, I remember being 18. I was almost done with high-school."

His mom was in shock at what he was saying as she told him "You’re just tired sweetie. You can sleep on my bed and take a nap while we finish with your bed." She carried her hysterical son to her room and laid him down taking off his shirt and letting him sleep under the covers. He couldn’t stop crying as she kissed him on the forehead and left the room. She knew that he had to go to sleep hoping that once he woke up all those thoughts would be gone.
