Chapter 19

Cassidy’s guess a few moments ago was turning out to be correct. She pouted in the playpen and the bonnet on her head filled her peripheral vision while she watched Rhonda find some jars of baby food left in the kitchenette. She managed to find a few jars, which was surprising considering no one was using the nursery at the moment. Cassidy hoped that the stuff hadn’t gone bad.

“Ok sweetie we get three nummies for you,” Rhonda sang. Cassidy popped the pacifier clipped to her onesie into her mouth. It was better than talking back to her and digging her hole even deeper. Rhonda opened the play pen and Cassidy crawled the brief distance from the play pen to the high chair, she glanced at Rhonda for approval. “Go ahead climb up sweetie.” Cassidy took that as her permission to actually stand and did so only to sit herself into the high chair, allowing herself to be strapped in. “Arms down sweetie,” Rhonda instructed. Cassidy sighed and kept her arms at her side while the tray was locked in place, keeping her hands trapped underneath it.

With her charge secured Rhonda transferred the three jars she found onto the tray of the high chair. It seems the flavors of the evening was banana, star fruit, and magicarrot. Cassidy eyed the jars suspiciously. She enjoyed those three foods on their own, but she wondered if the taste might be lost in the conversion from solid food to mush.

“Paci out sweetie num num time.” Rhonda took off the paci clipped onto Cassidy’s onesie and quickly tied a bib around her neck. Cassidy opened her mouth while Rhonda got the first bite of food ready. “Good girl,” Rhonda said happily. Cassidy was numb to the praise. She was only doing this because she didn’t really have another option, not to be a “good girl.”

The first bite came in quickly, this was the magicarrot and it tasted like, well, magicarrot. It was massing the satisfying crunch and brief sizzle form the magic inside the real thing, but otherwise it was magicarrot. What shocked Cassidy though was that while she was trying to eat the first bite a second was already being shoved into her mouth by Rhonda. So this was the game? Cassidy thought as another spoonful was forced in her mouth.

Every chance she got Rhonda popped another spoonful into Cassidy’s mouth, and inevitably her stuffed face dribbled some of the food onto her bib, which Rhonda was sure to point out.

“Messy baby, it’s a good thing we got your bib on huh?” Rhonda teased putting another spoonful into Cassidy’s mouth and causing more to dribble out. This was a choking hazard, was something Cassidy would have said if her mouth wasn't full of mush. Though she wondered how hard it would be to choke on not solid food. That was kind of the point of not solid food.

She was thankful that Rhonda seemed to have run out of magicarrot mush, and was at least doing her the service of letting her finish all of one flavor before moving on. Magicarrot and banana would not have been a pleasant combination. Not that the banana mush by itself was terribly appetizing. As Cassidy guessed, the mushification took a little bit of the flavor away. This process continued twice more for the banana and star fruit flavors. The whole ordeal ended with Cassidy actually fairly full but covered in mush, or at least her bib was.

“Messy messy baby,” Rhonda chastised as she cleaned up some splotches on Cassidy’s face. Cassidy had several choice comebacks for this but held her tongue.

“Can I have my paci please,” Cassidy said flatly.

“Of course baby,” Rhonda smiled and popped the soother into Cassidy’s mouth, clipping it back to her onesie once the bib was off of her, and then shuffled off behind Cassidy to look for something in the kitchenette. Cassidy found herself trying to crane her neck to see what Rhonda was doing behind her, but her bonnet kept her from really seeing anything.

“Did you enjoy your num nums?” Rhonda asked happily.

“Mmmm,” Cassidy answered behind her pacifier. Rhonda laughed at the response.

“Well do you still think you’re a big girl? Do you need some more reminding that you aren’t?”

“Mmm-Mmm,” Cassidy aggressively answered in the negative shaking her head no as well.

“I didn’t think so. Just remember whenever you get unhappy about how you still need your diapers or your leash that it could always be worse. You don’t appreciate how much of a big girl you get to be.” That was a load of crap, Cassidy thought, but didn’t say. She definitely wasn’t allowed to be the big girl that she actually was, and she was actually growing an appreciation for not being a big girl. Basically everything Rhonda had just said was wrong. Cassidy suckled harder on her pacifier instead of pointing this out. She was thankful that the soother was keeping her from making any comments.

Rhonda let Cassidy out of the high chair and let her crawl her way over to the playpen. Cassidy sat back down in the playpen and once again pouted while Rhonda busied herself with something. Cassidy would have thought after that kind of speech that her time as a baby would be coming to an end, but it seems like that wasn’t going to be the case.

“I’m making you a baba for nini little baby,” Rhonda said as she was doing just that, shaking up a mixture of a liquid in a baby bottle.

“Nini?” Cassidy asked confused.

“Yes nini,” Rhonda answered. “You may have learned your lesson but you’re not done being a baby just yet. You’re going to go to bed in your baby crib here, and when you wake up tomorrow you can go back to being a big girl.” Cassidy grumbled in response to this. It wasn’t how she wanted to spend her night that was for sure. “Drink up sweetie so you can make that diapee nice and soggy in the morning,” Rhonda said giving Cassidy the prepared bottle through the bars of the play pen.

Cassidy quietly suckled the bottle as Rhonda opened the play pen door and checked Cassidy’s diaper.

“You’re only a little wet, we can wait til the morning can’t we?” Rhonda stated not really asking for Cassidy’s opinion. “Now hop up into your crib for nini.” Again Cassidy took this as permission and walked on two legs over to one of the three cribs in the room still drinking from the bottle. She clambered inside and Rhonda quickly locked the crib shut. Beastkin cribs of course were larger than human ones as beastkin would often continue to use their cribs as regular beds when they grew out of diapers. Another addition to beastkin cribs was the closed top. There to keep the more magically inclined Biscotti children from floating themselves out of their crib, and the larger Beastkin children from simply climbing out. It left the whole thing looking not unlike a cage, which is how it felt to Cassidy as she was locked inside.

“Here you go sweetie,” Rhonda handed Cassidy another bottle through the bars. “Now I want you to think long and hard about if you’re ready to be a big girl while you’re in there, and I’ll come get you in the morning,” Rhonda said seriously as she fished a listening device out of her diaper bag. A crystal very similar to a scrying crystal, but one designed to allow for one way listening. Something to make sure Cassidy didn’t get in trouble or hurt herself while Rhonda was gone. There was at least that.

Rhonda smiled as she left the nursery turning the light off as she descended the ladder. Small crystals in the wall of the nursery activated slowly at the loss of light in the room, giving a soft reassuring blue light to the room.

After only a few moments of being alone Cassidy felt a rumble in her tummy.

“Oh no,” Cassidy groaned aloud at the realization of what was happening. She was about to mess her diaper. She didn’t really have a lot of control left so the moment was imminent. And she was going to be stuck in this crib with her messy diaper, hopefully Rhonda would be nice enough to let her out for a change but considering she was locked into the crib with a soggy diaper Cassidy wasn’t holding her breathe. She didn’t have long to ponder this as her body gave out on her. With a sad grunt Cassidy filled the seat of her diaper.

“Rhonda?” Cassidy asked hoping the listening crystal would pick up her voice and Rhonda could actually hear her. “Miss Rhonda please I – I…” Cassidy blushed at what she was about to say. “I pooped my diaper,” Cassidy felt that familiar flutter in her tummy as she admitted this. “Please. I need a diaper change.” Cassidy pleaded. “Please Miss Rhonda I’ll be good. I don’t wanna be poopy all night. Please.” Cassidy waited, pressing her body against the bars of the crib she was in, trying her best not to sit on her bottom and spread the mess on her bottom. She waited for Rhonda to come in and free her from her messy diaper, but only the soft blue light of the empty room she was in greeted her. “Please Miss Rhonda,” Cassidy gave one final effort before giving up and falling on her bottom in the crib with a squelch from her diaper and a sad groan from her mouth.

With resignation Cassidy tried her best to get comfortable in the crib, which would have been easy if not for her messy diaper. In fact without that messy diapers it would have been a great bit of sleep. The walls of the crib keeping her enclosed was oddly comforting to her, and the bedding was soft. The mess around her waist kept her awake though, and she tossed and turned trying her best to ignore it and get to sleep to no avail. This was going to be a long, smelly night, and Cassidy doubted she was going to get any sleep. She angrily suckled the extra bottle Rhonda left her with a pout.

Cassidy didn’t know how long it had been, only that she couldn’t get to sleep, and the messy diaper on her was getting increasingly uncomfortable. She felt like she was getting a serious diaper rash. She couldn’t believe this baby sitter would do this to actual kids, then again Marta was the one that found her and she would of course find the most sadistic baby sitter in the universe. Cassidy resigned herself to the fate that she probably wasn’t going to get any sleep, or well she was starting to accept that when the hatch to the room opened.

“Miss Rhonda please can I …” Cassidy started but then she noticed who it was. “Callie!” Cassidy happily jumped up to the bars of her crib.

“Hey sweetie,” Callie pressed her face against the bars of the crib to do the closest thing she could to hugging Cassisy. “You better not mistake me for that bitch ever again you hear?” Callie said jokingly.

“Never again,” Cassidy said happily.

“Now let’s get you out of there,” Callie said trying to figure out the lock to Cassidy’s crib. It was at this point Cassidy remembered what she was wearing and immediately dawned a blush. She couldn’t operate the latch from her side of the crib, especially stuck in mittens like she was, so Callie would have to let her out. But Cassidy hoped she could change her own diaper and avoid that embarrassment.

“There got it,” Callie said triumphantly as the door to the crib swung open. “Now let’s get your diaper changed."

“No babe wait I don’t ..” Cassidy started to say flustered.

“Babe calm down,” Callie said firmly. “I’m going to change your diaper, and it's going to be ok.”

“But I’m …”

“I know and it’s ok.” Callie gently led Cassidy over to the changing table and helped her up. She popped open the onesie Cassidy was wearing and prepared herself for what she was about to do. “Now let’s hurry up before you get a bigger rash." Cassidy hid her face in shame as her girlfriend opened up her messy diaper and started cleaning her. The wipes, while they were getting her clean, left behind a stingy trail as she already had a serious diaper rash in place. Callie was doing her best, but to say the situation was strange would be an understatement. She definitely never thought she would be changing her girlfriend’s messy diaper and having to contend with her diaper rash, but she didn’t have time to think about it. All she knew was that Cassidy needed her and she would be there.

She could tell Cassidy was embarrassed, she didn’t blame her, this was probably one of the most embarrassing things anyone could have done to them. As she got Cassidy clean of mess, and rolled the dirty diaper up, Callie looked around in the drawers of the changing table for some kind of rash cream. Cassidy chanced a look up from hiding her face.

“Sorry,” Cassidy said shyly.

“It’s ok babe I promise I don’t mind,” Callie could tell that her being genuine wasn’t having quite the effect she wanted so she switched to humor as a tactic. “Oh I see how it is. You’ll let my sister change you, but you won’t let me do it. I guess you’ll be leaving me for her now,” Cassidy said striking an overdramatic pose.

“Oh shut up,” Cassidy said with a giggle, but her expression let Callie know that she really appreciated the joke. “Thanks.”

“You’re welcome,” Callie said happily. “There we go. I knew they had to have some rash cream,” Callie confidently displayed the white tube of cream she discovered.

“Oh thank god,” Cassidy spoke in a sigh of relief. She was still embarrassed to be sure but the mood had become more jovial, and Cassidy was now able to at least watch while Callie spread the cream over the most rash affected areas. “Worst baby sitter ever,” Cassidy said as she sighed in relief.

“Don’t worry I told that bitch off,” Callie said as she kept working away. “No one puts my baby in the corner but me,” Cassidy giggled at that.

“Baby’s done being in the corner tonight.”

“I don’t blame you,” Callie said sympathetically. “But I still think…”

“Yeah yeah I know,” Cassidy cut her off. “I know I still need a diaper.”

“I think you look pretty cute in em' anyway,” Callie got a replacement diaper out.

“You really think so?” Cassidy raised her bottom up for Callie to slide the diaper under her.

“Of course sweetie. I always think you’re cute.” Callie started sprinkling some baby powder onto Cassidy.

“You know what I mean,” Cassidy was serious as she held the diaper in place for her girlfriend.

“Well,” Callie said honestly. “I’ll admit it’s a look that takes some getting used to,” Callie taped up the replacement diaper on Cassidy. “But I think it can grow on me. It is pretty cute, and if you like it then I want to explore it with you.” Cassidy and Callie both blushed as they shared a look.

“Well I’m glad I didn’t just scare you off,” Cassidy smirked.

“Yeah you did kinda throw me in the deep end there.”

“Not entirely my fault,” Cassidy spoke in overdramatic defensiveness.

“Yeah sure you little stinker,” Callie stuck her tongue out. “I brought you a shirt over. I didn’t know if …”

“The onesie's fine,” Cassidy spoke quietly. “I mean if it’s ok with you.” Callie’s answer was to start snapping it shut. “We can lose the bonnet, mittens, and booties though.” Callie helped Cassidy out of the mentioned items until she was in just the onesie. “Now let’s go to an actual bed please,” Cassidy and Callie left together closing the hatch behind them.

As they made their way back to the family room they were staying in Cassidy looked over to her girlfriend. Holding her hand and walking with her like everything was normal even though it definitely wasn’t. Cassidy felt strange. She was dressed in a onesie and a diaper, but even still she felt very much like an adult with Callie around. She hadn’t felt like that with anyone so far. Callie was the only one that saw her dressed like that and still took her seriously.

“What is it?” Callie said noticing Cassidy starting at her.

“I just love you, and I’m glad you’re here.”

“Aww well I’m glad I’m here too, now stop staring at me like a weirdo,” Callie playfully elbowed Cassidy.

“Wow way to ruin the moment,” Cassidy playfully shoved back.
