He suckled slowly, hoping that she would tire of this game and let him be a man again. As the formula trickled down his throat, Brian realized how hungry he was. He was surprised at how good it tasted, he had always thought baby formula would have a disgusting flavor. It made his stomach feel so warm and….well…comfortable. The feel of the nipple in his mouth was strangely consoling. He began to suck on the nipple eagerly and was amazed at how quickly he finished the bottle. She took the empty bottle from his hands, burped him, then put him into his crib and tucked him in. Within minutes, the combination of emotional exhaustion and the warm formula had put Brian in a deep slumber. She bent over the crib and tenderly stroked his hair amid his soft snores, then blew him a kiss before turning, picking up the playpen and carrying it out of the nursery with her.
When he awoke, he discovered that he had been sucking his thumb in his sleep. He pulled it out in disgust and pushed against the mattress to get up on his knees. When he rocked back on his heels, his diaper squished wetly between his legs. He had peed his diaper in his sleep! The weight of the diaper pulled at his waist; he hadn’t just peed a little, he had soaked it! If he hadn’t been wearing the plastic panties, he would have soaked his clothes and bed as well! He cried softly for awhile in frustration, then decided to ask his wife to change him. It was humiliating, but he didn’t know what else to do.
He called out to her for help and was surprised to find that instead of a loud shout he could only make small gurgling baby noises. He was losing the ability to speak! Brian screamed in infantile fury, screaming his rage at what his wife had done to him.
“Cathy had no right to do this to me,” he thought, “It was only a game! I didn’t mean it! How could she do this to me?!! I’m her husband, not her baby!”
She entered the room and beamed down at him. ” I see my little sleepy-head has woken up. Does mommy’s baby need his dydee changed?” She lifted him out of the crib and took him over to the changing table and laid him on his back. Within minutes, she had removed sodden diaper and was cleaning his bare bottom.
“I’ve been going through your old things this morning, Brian. Since they won’t fit you now that you’re a baby, I’m going to give away all your old clothes to the Salvation Army.”
He noticed she was looking at him intently, her eyes seeming to bore into his head, searching for confirmation of something she already knew.
“By the way, Brian, I found all your DPF stories last week in your filing cabinet. You know what else I found, baby? I found a hypnosis tape to turn you into a bedwetter.” She chuckled and said, “I guess you won’t need that now. I also found a suitcase full of baby clothes, plastic pants and diapers in adult sizes. I’m going to send everything back to DPF. Except for the adult diapers,” she smiled broadly, “…they’ll make good lap pads.”
Brian’s head spun in panic. She had found his books and adult baby clothes! He’d never convince her that it was just a game he had recently invented! She had known about everything before he had “talked” her into playing with him! He wanted to escape, to find somewhere to hide from her thoughtful gaze. She knew everything he had been doing in secret all these years.
He moaned in shame. There had to be somewhere he could go…someplace where no one knew about his desires. Someplace safe where nothing would hurt him. His head reeled and he closed his eyes hoping it was all a bad dream. Maybe if he explained to her about his love of diapers…that what she had found was just a harmless hang-up……….
