Chapter 16 – Who Wants To Be a Baby?

 

Position:  Baby. 

Job qualifications:  Must be willing to put up with the most embarrassing situations on the planet. 

Pay: Diapers changed multiple times per day.  Baby bottles of drinks shoved in your hand.  Fine dining of different baby foods provided for all meals. 

Job Perks: The opportunity to play with lots of useless toys while trapped inside a fenced-in area.  TV watching of the dumbest and worst cartoons ever made.  Enforced early bedtimes plus two naps every day.  Constantly changing embarrassing uniforms provided at no cost.

Applicants interested please apply as soon as possible.  The current baby in our situation is sick of his treatment and wants out.  Unfortunately for him, out is a direction that babies don’t understand.

Yeah, the battle was on, even though they didn’t realize that yet.  As I laid there in my crib drinking my first bottle of baby formula of the day, all I could think about was fighting back.  Holding back.  Not becoming the complete imbecile I knew they all wanted me to be.  Because hanging over my head was the knowledge that their real goal was to get me committed permanently to that behavioral center again…or maybe someplace worse.  In fact, someplace worse was the more likely possibility.  I hadn’t thought about that fact before.  So as far as I could see, I had more reason than ever to fight back and hold on to my sanity…even though that sanity included wanting more than ever to end my own life.

Emily hurried into my nursery while I was drinking my bottle and gave me a quick hug and a kiss.  “Love you baby,” she said happily.  “Have fun today.  Wish I could be here with you.”  And then she was gone.  Hurrying off to work.  You want the truth?  I liked it when she and Caitlin came in and showed me brief little bits of affection.  Who wouldn’t?  Those bits of love were precious to me.  I immediately went back to finishing my bottle and thinking about holding back as much as possible every time I needed to go.  Suck…out…suck…out.  I was so focused on my predicament that I never realized that the rhythm of my drinking was exactly the way both Emily and Caitlin wanted it.

Caitlin finally breezed back in just as I had finished drinking.  I briefly wondered how she had known so quickly that my bottle had run dry.

“Hi again baby,” she greeted me as she leaned over my crib and took the bottle from me with one hand, while her other hand stuck my pacifier back between my lips.  My mouth didn’t seem to ever be empty anymore.  Suck…out…suck…out….  She didn’t even have to say anything.  I just automatically did it.  She grabbed my hand and pulled me to a sitting position while still in my crib.  “It’s a special day for you today,” she practically sang to me.  And then she laughed.

A special day?  What the hell did that mean?  And why the hell was she so happy about everything?  Right now, all I was interested in was getting up on that changing table and getting that plug pulled out of my ass.  But of course, I suspected that breakfast had to come first.  Still, why the hell was she keeping me in my crib?

She disappeared into my closet for a moment then came back with a box.  What the hell was in it?  I had no idea.

“Something special for you today,” she told me as she set the box on the floor.  She bent down and pulled something out of it.  Something very padded and covered in childish cartoon characters.  I was about to ask what the hell it was, when she grabbed my right hand and then started pulling that thing onto my hand like a big fat glove.  I tried to pull my hand back, but she held it firmly.  “Hold still!” she ordered sternly.  “It’s going on you whether you like it or not.”

I held still and let her keep shoving that thing over my hand, I was too afraid of being put back into that behavioral center again to not do what she wanted.  The damn mitten had some kind of stiff thing in it and was narrow enough that it forced my fingers to stay straight out, while at the same time kept them stuck somewhat together.  She fastened the mitt firmly around my wrist and went to work on my left hand.  While she was busy there, I did everything possible to try and move my fingers inside that thing, but I couldn’t.  I couldn’t do anything with that hand at all.  It was actually worse than those bondage mittens that Jared and Emily had once used on me.  Not only did it keep my hand completely useless, but since it was so padded all over and my hand was stretched out straight inside, it was much bigger than those other things had been.  Caitlin finished fastening the second one and both my hands were reduced to complete uselessness.  I wanted to ask why, but that big pacifier in my mouth sort of kept me from asking anything.

But it seemed that Caitlin wasn’t done with me yet.  Not at all.  While I sat there trying to fathom those two big things covering my hands, she went back to her box and pulled something else out.  She grabbed one of my feet and began pulling some kind of padded bootie onto it.  Very quickly, my foot went in, and I was shocked to feel something inside on the sole of the thing.  In fact, there was a bunch of somethings all over the sole of the thing.  And whatever they were, they were hard and uncomfortable.  She fastened that bootie firmly to my foot, then put another bootie on my other foot.

“Okay baby,” she declared a bit too happily.  “Let’s get you down now.  She grabbed my hand and helped me slide off my crib, but the moment one of my feet hit the floor, those things inside that bootie felt like they were going to go right through my foot!  “Ow!” I yelled suddenly and sank down to my knees since I couldn’t stand on that foot.  It had hurt…and Caitlin was laughing.  I remembered then that Caitlin too had been interested in that BDSM stuff.  Was this part of that?

I experimented a bit with trying to get to my feet, but I quickly discovered that any attempt to do that at all only brought me intense pain.  I looked up at Caitlin, she was still laughing delightedly.  “We wanted to give you a chance to experience being more a real baby than usual.  Which means more helpless.  Since babies can’t walk and they don’t have much finger dexterity, neither do you now.  Now you can spend the day crawling everywhere just like a real baby, and you can enjoy having me help you with everything else.  Won’t that be fun?”

She had said it like she really expected me to enjoy it.  I already knew I was in for a nightmare of a day.

“Come on baby,” she said.  “Breakfast time.  Crawl out to the kitchen.”

Yeah.  Crawl out.  I had no choice but to crawl out.  I had no choice but to crawl everywhere.

Surprise!  I got baby cereal for breakfast again.  Actually, no surprise at all.  I got baby cereal for breakfast more often than not.  Caitlin grabbed me under my shoulders and lifted me up so I could sit in my chair at the table.  Then she literally sat there and spoon fed me my entire breakfast, including encouraging me to keep eating by making airplane sounds and train noises.  I could have done without both.  I could have done without the baby food.  I could have done without the damn things she had put on me, making my hands and feet useless.  And I could especially do without my entire life!  Why the hell couldn’t they just let me die?

After breakfast, Caitlin decided I was too heavy for her to lift up onto my changing table, so she changed me right on the floor of my nursery.  The best part, and the most painful part, was when she finally pulled that plug out of my ass.  Once I was diapered again, I was sent out to the living room to watch TV.  My normal schedule for the day had started.  I was just going to have to go through it all with no hands and no way to walk anywhere.  And then of course, only moments after I started watching that cartoon, and as always seemed to happen after having that plug removed from my ass, my bowels erupted, and I helplessly filled the back of my diaper…and it wasn’t even wet yet!  But yeah, I did wet it only moments later, and even though I had been planning on holding back all day, that wetting had been a bit more effortless than usual.  Now not only was I stuck crawling around all day, since they didn’t change those thick diapers of mine as often, I was going to be stuck in a stinky, messy diaper until after lunch.  Hours away!  Ugh!  I hated those plugs in my ass.

“Somebody made a stinkyyyy.”

I couldn’t believe that Caitlin would actually sing that little bit of news to me.  And why did she have to sound so happy about it?  I certainly wasn’t.  She delivered a bottle of that delicious vanilla flavored stuff to me, that I now knew from finding cases of it in the pantry was some kind of vitamin supplement drink.  Something that was actually very good for me to be drinking since it would help to keep me healthy…well, my body.  My mind of course was another matter.

When playtime came, I crawled my stinky butt into my play area where Caitlin once again joined me and actually played with me…and my toys.  Was she trying to teach me how to play with those dumb things?  Trust me, it wasn’t working.  Still at least one of us seemed to be enjoying it.  Hint…it wasn’t me.

As I figured, I didn’t stop stinking up the house until after lunch, and by that time Caitlin had a huge mess to clean up from my bottom.  All I could think about it was that it served her right to have to deal with it since she had caused it in the first place.  From there, it was more crawling around for everything I did.

With no usable hands, Caitlin didn’t even try to sit me down in front of the computer.  We spent more time playing together with the toys instead.  Or rather, she did most of the playing, although I was “made” to try and play with them too.  Even if I was interested in doing anything with those stupid toys, what could I do with no hands?  It boggled my…baby…mind.

When naptime came, she struggled like crazy to get me back in my crib, and believe it or not, managed it.  I was actually glad.  I’d rather sleep there than on the hard floor.  I’d already had too much of that hard floor from crawling around on it all day.

Eventually, Emily came home, and she breezed in like she couldn’t wait to get there.  Why?  “How’s the baby doing today?” she asked the moment she got into my nursery where Caitlin was lying on the floor in front of me playing with my toys.

“We’re having a good time.  Aren’t we?” she replied as she looked in my direction.

If she enjoyed playing with my toys so much, why was she insisting they were for me?  Okay.  Five minutes later, things got far more weird than they already had been all day.  Both Caitlin and Emily were lying on the floor of my play area, playing with my toys…together!  All I could do was sit there and watch those two acting like total…uh…babies together.  Besides, what else could I do with no hands.  They, for some reason, never seemed to notice that little fact.  So far, it looked to me like their little baby therapy was working on the wrong people.  Not that I minded that at all.  I had to wonder though if they both would prefer to be in my diapers instead of me.  Now that I would have loved to see!

It wasn’t too much longer before Bill came home and both women must have figured out that it wouldn’t look good to him to see what they were doing (instead of me).  They both got up and headed to the kitchen to make dinner.  I just looked at them both leaving my nursery behind, glad to see them go, even though I had been highly amused seeing how much they seemed to enjoy playing with all my toys.

At dinner time, I crawled my wet diapered butt into the kitchen where Emily had Bill help lift me up into my chair.  Hooray!  I got real food to eat instead of baby food.  The only problem was those huge mitts on my hands.  Caitlin once again fed me my dinner while she was eating hers…until the front doorbell rang.  I panicked.  Who the hell would ring our doorbell?  Most of the family always just barged right into the house, coming in through the garage.

Emily went to answer it, and she came back a minute later with Doctor Clive.  Caitlin got up from the table and the three of them wandered out of the kitchen in the direction of my nursery.  Five minutes later, Doctor Clive was gone and Emily and Caitlin returned to the table.

“She loved the new nursery,” Caitlin gushed happily.

“Yeah,” Emily agreed.  “She said it was like a dream room, and she thinks we’re doing a great job with…you know who over here.”

I was guessing she was talking about me.  And then I remembered who it was that seemed to enjoy playing with all those toys so much.

“Here comes the choo-choo train,” Caitlin said as she held up my spoon loaded with food and started bringing it towards my mouth.  “Choo-choo-choo….  Open up the tunnel.”

Yeah, I was starting to get convinced that all their baby treatment was working on them instead of me.  A few more days and maybe they really would be wearing my diapers instead of me.  I could only hope.
