"Austin get in here, we need to get you ready for the trip!" came the voice of 29 year-old father Tyler Keith.
"Okay Daddy!" came the young boy's reply. The 4 year-old Soleon stopped what he was doing and toddled towards his bedroom. Entering the room, Austin was lifted up by his shiny, anthro Azelf father and placed on a changing table.
"We both know you get a little leaky on long drives, so I'm going to pad you up, okay?" Tyler said.
"Okay Daddy," Austin responded, smiling. While the padding was a bit embarrassing, he didn't really mind it. Austin laid back and rested his head while his father removed his shorts and briefs. He felt a bit of powder between his legs, and smelled the familiar scent that came with it. Austin took a moment to enjoy the feeling of open air on his privates before they were covered by a snugly taped-on diaper.
"There you go, you're all ready for the drive," Tyler said. Austin sat up, looking down at the ever so slightly gray padding between his white little legs.
"Thankies Daddy!" he said, giggling. Tyler picked his son up, sharing a hug with him before putting him down on the floor.
"Mommy and I are almost done packing; you go play games a little while longer and I'll come get you when it's time to go," he said, referring to his wife, Mesprit. The legendary Pokémon of Emotion was also anthro now, matching her husband.
"Okay Daddy!" Austin responded, smiling widely. The little tyke then toddled off in the direction from whence he'd come, returning to the game he had been playing. Meanwhile, Tyler put Austin's shorts and briefs in the hamper and then helped Mesprit pack bags for the three of them. They also packed a bag of snacks for the drive. With everything ready, they loaded the bags into the family's Audi A8 L. Ready to head out for the trip, Tyler and Mesprit went upstairs to the game room.
"Austin, save your game, it's time to go," Mesprit said.
"Okay mommy, one minute!" Austin responded. He quickly found a stopping point, saved his game, and turned off the system. Ready to go, Austin jumped into his father's arms and was taken downstairs and outside to the car. Tyler buckled him into the middle seat of the back bench, and then climbed in the driver's seat himself. Left alone in the back, Austin dug in the bag his parents had put in the seat next to him and pulled out a Nintendo DSi, loaded with a copy of Mario Kart DS. Smiling, he began playing it as his father drove towards their destination.
Hours down the road, things had changed in the Keith's car. The day was growing late, and Austin found himself getting tired of the latest game he'd been playing. He was also a little sleepy. Turning off his DSi which by now had long been plugged into its car charger, he looked out the window at the evening sky. It was getting darker out, and Austin knew there were still several hours left in the drive. He rubbed his tired eyes and looked at the digital clock at the front of the car, unable to read it.
"Mommy, what time is it?" he asked.
"7:30 dear," Mesprit answered.
"Thankies," Austin responded.
"No problem," Mesprit replied.
Austin yawned; his DS now tucked away in his bag. Although he usually went to bed past eight- or at least that's what his parents told him-, he was rather bored right now, and sleep sounded enticing. Grabbing a soft blanket that his mom had left in the back for him, Austin snuggled up in just his t-shirt and diaper. He'd been leaky as usual, his bladder unable to hold it long enough between stops. He had already been changed once, and now he wore fresh, comfy padding between his legs.
Curled into a ball under the blanket, Austin lay on his side and rested his head on a pillow his parents had provided. Snuggled up warmly thanks to the blanket, he let his eyes rest. He felt comfortable thanks to the soft, forgiving leather seats of the A8, not to mention the padding taped snugly between his legs. Smiling happily, the little tyke drifted off to sleep.

The Keith's Audi pulled into the driveway of Tyler's mom's house at 9:30 that night, the motion-activated porch lights coming on as the car slowed to a halt. Tyler and Mesprit climbed out and embraced Tyler's mom, Vickie, who had been waiting for them. The three adults then opened one of the car's rear doors and looked inside at Austin. The little tyke was still sleeping, so his grandma reached in and picked him up, one arm around his back and the other under his padded rump. Unsurprisingly, the youngest member of the Keith family awoke due to the movement.
"Grandma!" he cried, hugging her on sight.
"Hello Austin," she responded, hugging him back.
"Mom, you can take Austin inside; Mesprit and I will unload everything," Tyler cut in.
"Okay, just let me know if I can help in any way," Vickie responded. Tyler nodded, and then Vickie carried Austin inside. The middle aged woman sat down on the couch with her grandson, the happy little boy staring up at her with his big, blue eyes. She could see that he was padded, but said nothing about it as she knew the reason for it.
"So how was the drive Austin?" she asked.
"It was long, like always. I ran outta games," Austin responded in his high, boyish voice.
"What did you do without games to play?" Vickie asked.
"You saw grandma, I fell asleep!" Austin answered, giggling. Vickie smiled; her grandson was such a delight to be with.
"I most certainly did," she responded, laughing lightly.
"I suppose I should go back to sleep now, shouldn't I?" Austin remarked.
"Not before I give you a present that I got specially made for you," Vickie replied excitedly.
"Yay, a present!" Austin responded excitedly. His grandma set him down on the couch and then walked to her room to grab something. As she returned, Austin could see something yellow behind her back.
"What is it grandma?" he asked curiously.
"It's a surprise," Vickie answered. The eldest of the Keith's stepped further into the room, and then brought the object out from behind her back.
"Sweet, a Pikachu pillow pet! Thanks grandma!" Austin remarked excitedly. Vickie smiled.
"You're welcome Austin; now you have a little friend to play and sleep with," she responded. Austin accepted the gift from her and began hugging it happily. Vickie laughed as the blonde-haired boy wrapped his arms and legs around the pet-shaped pillow; it was almost as big as he was!
"That was very nice of you mom, but now it's time for Austin to go to bed," Tyler cut in as he suddenly walked in.
"Grandma, will you please tuck me in?" Austin asked, smiling. Vickie thought it was just adorable.
"Of course I will Austin," she responded, smiling. Picking the young boy up, she walked towards Tyler's old bedroom. Inside, Vickie set her padded grandson down on the bed. The bedding on it was still the same old, blue sheets from when Tyler was a kid, but despite their age they were still rather soft. Austin climbed underneath them, moving one of the pillows aside and replacing it with his new pillow pet. Tyler, who had just walked in with Mesprit, then stepped up and pulled the sheets down, checking his son's diaper.
"You're still dry, we can change you back into briefs real quick if you want," he remarked.
"It's okay daddy, I'll just sleep like this," Austin responded, "I really don't mind being padded."
"Okay then, good night," Tyler responded, helping Vickie tuck his son in.
"Good night daddy, good night mommy, good night grandma," Austin said.
"Good night Austin," Vickie responded.
"Good night son," Mesprit added. With that, the three adults left Austin alone in the glow of Tyler's old night light. The diapered little boy curled up in a ball, happy as could be after such an awesome day. He'd gotten to enjoy- albeit secretly- wearing a diaper, he'd enjoyed playing some of his long forgotten DS games, and his grandma had given him a new pillow pet. He couldn't have imagined a better day. With his head resting on the aforementioned gift, the face of which was staring at the wall, Austin reached a hand down beneath the covers and felt the padding between his legs.
The diaper he wore was soft and comfy, and deep inside he wanted to wear one every day. Still, they were embarrassing in public, and he was sure his parents would frown upon him wearing them full-time again. He couldn't deny his feelings though; maybe he should take a risk and talk to his daddy about it. Austin had second thoughts about this idea; he still wasn't sure. He decided that he'd rest for the time being, and decide in the morning when he wasn't as tired. Still smiling, he moved to a comfortable position, closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
