"Hold my hand, baby." Will said. He and Sam were walking through the parking lot of Toys R Us and it was the third time that Sam had gone ahead of him. He understood that he was excited, but it wouldn't be worth it if he got hit by a car.
Sam whined, but returned to Daddy's side and slipped his hand into the man's. "I'm 'cited, Daddy!" He said, bouncing with every step.
"I know, sweetheart, but the toys aren't going anywhere." Daddy guaranteed him. As they approached the end of the parking lot, a car drove by. "Look both ways." He reminded Sam before hurrying across with him before any more cars appeared.
"Now baby, don't run off without me. I promise we will get to everything, but you have to stay with me and if you don't, I'll carry you." Daddy warned.
Sam nodded obediently and tugged his shirt down. He was a little nervous about going out in public with a diaper on, seeing as he'd only done it a few times, and never at school. He didn't see any other little boys with diapers on and that made him more uncomfortable.
However, the second he and Daddy entered the store, all of his worries disappeared in a second. He was in heaven. His first instinct was to run off and explore, but he remembered Daddy's warning and forced himself to behave.
Daddy grinned at the look of awe and amazement on Sam's face as they entered the busy store. It was Saturday afternoon so there were quite a few parents and kids roaming the giant store.
"Where first, baby?" Daddy asked him, and Sam was so overwhelmed that it took him a few minutes before pointing to an aisle that was lined with Hot Wheels and other toy cars.
Sam hurried over to the aisle with Daddy and his eyes scanned the shelves like a pirate who had just discovered a buried treasure. Daddy waited patiently for him to look around and did a little looking himself, occasionally glancing over at the aisle that contained baby toys and accessories.
They had agreed that while baby had his blocks and his teddy, he really didn't have many other toys. Daddy had agreed that Sam could pick out three toys that were reasonably priced to take home.
"This! Please Daddy?" Sam asked eagerly, pointing to a set of Hot Wheels match box cars, twenty four in all.
Daddy checked the price. "Okay, baby, we can get this." He nodded and Sam nearly squealed with joy. "Why don't we go look in the baby aisle for a moment?" He suggested.
Sam nodded and took Daddy's hand again with his other hand holding onto the set of cars. They then made their way over to the infants and toddlers area of the store and Sam was just as interested as Daddy. He looked around, gasping when he saw a hanging mobile that had all the planets on it as well as the moon, sun, and a scattering of stars. He tugged on Daddy's shirt and pointed to it.
Daddy grinned when he saw it. This was perfect for his baby, and it could easily take the place of a night light since it lit up while it was on. "Is this the one you really want?"
Sam was practically shaking with excitement as he nodded and Daddy grabbed a basket to put the things in. "Alright, sweetheart, one more thing. Choose carefully."
Sam nodded and looked around for a while, peering and playing with different things experimentally. He was in the aisle beside the toys when a loud, shrill shriek made him jump in surprise. He looked over in alarm as he watched a little boy about the age of four fall to the floor and begin to bawl. He obviously wasn't getting his way. Sam couldn't look away as the boy's tantrum unraveled in front of him and he was shocked that somebody would act like that.
"It's not polite to stare." Daddy reminded him and Sam obediently took his hand so that he could be led away. "Would you ever act like that?" Daddy asked him once they were away from the area.
Sam shook his head quickly. "I'm a good boy." He grinned.
Daddy chuckled and ruffled his hair. "Yes you are."
It took a little while longer before Sam settled on a set of DC action figures of Batman, Robin, Superman, and the Joker. He was actually sort of relieved that they were done. He had to go potty and he wasn't too sure he could do it in public.
Daddy stuck the action figure set in the basket and took Sam's hand before leading him to the back of a rather long checkout line. Sam groaned internally and sighed, knowing he'd just have to hold it. That worked for a little until Daddy noticed his constant fidgeting and leg-crossing.
Daddy kneeled down so that his mouth was right next to Sam's ear. "Baby do you need to go potty?" He whispered quietly.
Sam blushed and squirmed, shaking his head. He knew he shouldn't lie to Daddy, but he was starting to get embarrassed.
Daddy noticed how nervous he was and rested a comforting hand on his shoulder. "It's okay, sweetheart. Nobody will notice. Just let go and Daddy will change you as soon as we get home."
Sam whimpered a little and bounced desperately. He felt Daddy's soothing hands on his back and eventually he gave in to relaxation, letting out a tiny sigh of relief as warm urine flooded between his legs, quickly getting soaked up by the thick material.
"There you go." Daddy whispered, feeling the slump of Sam's shoulders. "Better?"
Sam looked up shyly and nodded, holding on to Daddy's hand tighter as they stepped forward in line. After a few more minutes, Daddy was next and he set the items on the conveyer belt with a friendly smile.
The woman rang the items up and smiled. "Are these for your son?" She asked Daddy, who smiled and nodded. She turned to Sam and gave him a smile as well. "You should play with your little brother. He'll be excited." She said, making Sam blush lightly and Daddy hold back a laugh.
After she wished them a nice day, Daddy and Sam left quickly and got in the car, heading home so that Sam could get out of his wet diaper and break in his new toys.
"You happy, sweetheart?" Daddy asked Sam, who beamed and nodded.
"Thank you, Daddy." He grinned sweetly, making Daddy release a happy sigh.
"Now this isn't a regular thing, Sammy. The toy store is a special occasion for when you've been good." Daddy reminded him. "I won't spoil my baby."
Sam nodded obediently. "I know Daddy."
"Good." Daddy smiled. "Now let's get home to your "little brother" and show him his new toys."
Sam made a distressed noise and pouted, though there was little anger behind it. "Daddy!"
