Chapter 10: The sleepover part 2
As Alvin opened his eyes to the morning light shining through the window, he looked through the wooden slats of the crib that vertically segmented his view of the room. He didn't know whether or not he was expected to get out of the crib himself or to wait until Heidi came in to get him and the other boys.
He lay there awake in his soaked diapers. The feeling of soaked disposables reminded him of the torment that preceded the spanking and the yelling before being forced into cloth diapers from his early childhood. He closed his eyes again. The darkness grew until he was in dream state.
Dream state:
"You miserable brat, look what you did to your bed!" his father yelled.
"It wasn't my fault Dad".
"Wasn't your fault, really, of course it is Alvin, your bed is soaked, you're soaked and now I have to clean you up… again! Ugh it's like taking care of an infant all over again! Are you a baby, Alvin?"
"No I'm not Dad".
"You sure not good with telling the truth, are you son? You pissed yourself like a little baby and now I've had it up to here with you!"
His father grabbed him and took his pyjamas off roughly, held him down on his bed forcing him to take in the urine laced odours in the sheets and mattress. While with the other hand he brought it down on his bare rump multiple times.
In the conscious world, Alvin scrunched his eyes as they prickled with tears as he dreamt of his father beating him for wetting the bed for the umpteenth time. He thrashed around moaning as he dreamed the nightmare. Marvin was woken by the abrupt thrashing of Alvin in his sleep. He sat up looking on with horror that the night terrors his friend was experiencing were more severe than he first thought. Even Max was woken from the commotion.
"What's going on Marvin?" Max asked sleepily.
"Nothing, Alvin's having a nightmare", replied Marvin.
Alvin stopped thrashing now, as Marvin saw that his friend was drenched in sweat and his cheeks were wet with tears, if he needed to do anything it would be to get him out of the nightmare by waking him. Marvin knelt beside Alvin and shook him awake.
"Alvin, wake up Alvin".
Alvin jolted awake panting and breathing heavily, looking at the surroundings he sighed as his breathing returned to normal.
"Are you ok, Alvin?" asked Marvin.
"Yeah, just a nightmare", replied Alvin.
"Must've been a horrible one, you were thrashing around everywhere".
"Was I, did I wake you both?"
"Yeah kinda", replied Max.
"Oh sorry guys", said Alvin.
"It's ok Alvin, we needed to get up anyway, Heidi will be coming in to get us soon", said Marvin.
Alvin lay back down on his pillow as he looked at the Winnie the Pooh covers that covered their diapers. Max lay back down on his back and lifted his bare legs over him. Alvin knew what was going to happen when Max's facial expression changed. He began grunting as he pooped his diaper first thing upon waking. Max smiled and chuckled as he loaded his diapers, knowing what a mess he was making himself and how much he would enjoy having Heidi wipe him clean again.
Heidi came into the bedroom a few minutes later, "Good morning, boys".
"Somebody's really stinky, I can tell!" she said as she went to Max's crib first and lowered the rail. Max held onto Heidi's shoulders as she lifted him out of the crib like he enjoyed her do. Heidi's hand was pressed against the thick diapers, oblivious to the contents therein had it not been for the fresh odour. His bare legs were clamped around her body.
"You get any bigger, boy and you may just have to start getting out of that crib yourself", she said as she put him down, commenting how hard Max was to lift.
"I wish I could stay little!" he said, realising his inevitable fate of one day becoming an adult.
"You'll grow up like the rest of us", Heidi said to Max, "but you'll always be a little boy to me!"
She turned to see that Alvin and Marvin were already awake, "Oh I didn't have to wake you this morning Marvin", she remarked.
"Well, uh we woke up and couldn't get back to sleep", Marvin said to cover the true reason they were all awake.
"Ok then", said Heidi, she lowered the railing on the crib.
Marvin climbed out of the crib with Alvin; she ran hand over the back of Marvin's diaper.
"You go poo-poo yet?" she asked him.
"Just wet, very wet", Marvin replied.
"How about you, Alvin?" asked Heidi.
He looked down at the front of his diaper and saw the wetness indicator change from blue to yellow.
"I wet some", he replied shyly.
"When you two poop, I'll change you", she said as she picked Max up again and carried him over to the changing table. Alvin watched as she pulled out another tall stack of cloth diapers from the cabinet.
"Why are you putting cloth diapers on Max, isn't it daytime?" asked Alvin.
"Today's Saturday", Heidi stated. "The boys usually spend their whole weekends in cloth diapers".
"Ah, that makes sense".
He continued to watch as Heidi got the last of Max's diaper pins removed and the diapers themselves pulled away from his body. The wet, filthy diapers were put in the diaper pail to be washed when is convenient. His rear end was a big mess, but Heidi, so accustomed to facing this vile chore, just went about her business and wiped him over and over again until it was clean. His skin was treated with powder, with a generous coating applied. Heidi folded the diapers and placed them under Max's rump and pinned them on. She then enshrouded the thick stack of white cloth in his plastic pants.
Following Max's diaper change, it was breakfast time, Alvin walked slowly with Marvin.
"Does he always wait until morning to… you know?" asked Alvin.
"No, we have no control so it happens when it happens", replied Marvin.
Each of the boys took their turns as Heidi fed them the cereals of their choice. This was added by buttered toast and jam, juice and milk, while they each sat in the high chair. Alvin accustomed to this didn't hesitate to approach the high chair when Heidi called him over. He has never felt so hungry before. He sat thinking as Heidi put a bib on him, "Is this baby treatment making me feel this way?"
He answered this silently with a shrug and concentrated on being spoon fed. As he was being fed, he chewed slowly and looking around him, he enjoyed it here, but what if he could be treated like this at home. He pondered over it, but decided that the day would never come when he would get to be treated like this at home.
Throughout the morning the boys engaged in a number of activities. They watched Saturday morning cartoons, played with some of Marvin and Max's toys and talked about stuff. Marvin and Max had an entire toy box brimming with toys that they held onto since toddlerhood, they still played with them from time to time. Alvin sat looking at the Fisher Price cars and Max being eight is pushing them around as if he were a quarter of that age.
"Wanna play with my cars?" asked Max.
"Uh sure, ok", replied Alvin as he started to push around the cars, "hmm this isn't too bad actually, it's kinda fun".
"Oh yeah Alvin, these car are fun to play with especially when I get to use my imagination", said Max giggling.
Alvin stopped playing with a revelation, "I'm enjoying this is a lot, I want this life", he giggled and joined in again.
Marvin on the other hand had been waiting for his father to get off the Internet so he and Max could have their turn on it.
"Have at it, boys", Marvin's father said as he got up from the chair. "Don't spend too long on there".
Marvin's Dad called for his wife.
"Honey, I need my diapers changed!" he shouted up to his wife, unashamed and unembarrassed as his kids were used to hearing this. It caught Alvin by surprise, however.
"I'm in the bathroom!" the voice of Marvin's mother came from the top of the stairs. "I'll be out in a minute!"
Marvin's father ascended the stairs and he took his sweat pants off revealing his diapers. Marvin's mother came out of the bathroom. She went to her husband and took his hand as if he was her little boy and led him to the bedroom.
"Does my little boy need his diapers changed?" Alvin could hear Marvin's mother saying to her husband. She used a babyish voice.
"Yes, Mommy", he answered her, emulating a little boy.
The door was shut and they were in the bedroom for a while, enough time for Marvin to show Alvin more diaper web sites. He also copied the stories and pictures for him to take home as promised.
It was about half an hour later and the boys were still online looking at diaper web sites. It occurred to Alvin that Marvin's parents were still in their bedroom.
"Your Dad sure takes a long time to get changed", Alvin commented to Marvin.
"I think they're doing more than just a diaper change", Marvin replied plainly as if it didn't bother him.
Alvin had it figured out and was awkward about what he knew about sex. He returned his attention to the computer screen and watched as Marvin showed him some more diaper stories and pictures. Alvin felt his gut gurgle as the load headed to the exit, he spread his legs apart and let it out into his diaper, he really felt like a non-potty trained toddler, letting it go whenever and wherever he was.
"You just pooped, didn't you?" Marvin asked Alvin.
Alvin thought, "He didn't see me, how did he know right away?"
"Go tell Heidi so that she can change you, she's probably in her bedroom".
"What about you?" Alvin asked Marvin.
"What about me?"
"Do you need to poop?"
"Well not yet, just go ahead", he said, "We don't always have to be changed at the same time, you know".
Alvin got up from the chair and went up the stair to go to Heidi's bedroom, as he walked he picked up his own filth very prominent in the air as the odour was escaping the confines of his diaper. Heidi had her stereo blaring in her bedroom; he knocked on the door and waited for an answer. After she got up and turned the stereo down, she opened the door and saw Alvin standing there.
"Yes", she asked him.
"I uh, I need to be changed", Alvin replied.
"Sure", she said. "I can tell you need it now. Just go back into the boy's room".
Alvin went back into Marvin's bedroom and Heidi followed right behind him. She helped him up onto the changing table and she had him lie down in front of her. She proceeded to take the tabs off the disposable, releasing a huge fog of foul odour from his diaper. She wiped him clean and dry and she bent over and reached into his bag on the floor. She pulled out one of the diapers from the supply and began unfolding it. She powdered Alvin generously and the diaper itself and placed it underneath Alvin's rump. She brought the sides up to be taped into place. Just as Heidi had done for her own brothers' disposable diapers every school morning, she examined the tightness of Alvin's diaper at its legs to ensure that they had a leak free fit.
Just as Heidi finished diapering Alvin, Marvin came into the bedroom and asked when they would be leaving for lunch.
"We'll get going soon. I just need to shower and get dressed".
Heidi left the room while Alvin and Marvin remained.
"Your diaper change sure took a while", Marvin said with a hint of a smile.
"Well, Heidi made sure that she diapered me correctly".
Later on, the family got ready to go out to see a movie and to go to lunch. Alvin was given his overalls, which has sat unworn since Alvin is used to wearing diapers now. Heidi put Alvin's overalls on for him. She had him step into the pants as she pulled them up, covering his diaper and the rest of his body as she ran the straps over his shoulders. She patted him on the bottom as she dismissed him and called Max over to her to dress him up. She left Max in the super thick cloth diapers for the time being as she got out his pants. Max's pants were overalls, too, much like the ones that Alvin wore, except that they were larger in the seat to accommodate Max's enormous diapers. They also had snaps in the legs and in the crotch. She put the pants on Max and fastened the snaps. His diapered butt bulged all around him, especially his rear end where the diapers appeared to be the most prominent. Heidi had also changed Max's white T-shirt and put on a red and yellow striped shirt on him. The overalls and shirt ensemble made Max look like he was an overgrown toddler, almost a Dennis the Menace look-alike. Marvin, too, was dressed in similar attire, wearing overalls identical to Max's, but larger. Marvin's shirt was different, too as it featured a large Winnie the Pooh print on the front. Alvin had never seen Marvin or Max dressed this way in school and from the way they appeared so juvenile, he could see why.
The van had been warmed up and everyone was ready to go. As Alvin would be dropped off at home, he brought his duffel bag along with him. Alvin was surprised that the family was going out in public with the boys dressed in such child-like apparel.
"Where are we going?" asked Marvin to his father as they headed to the city.
"First, we're going to see a movie then we'll go out to lunch", replied his father.
"Say, Alvin would your Mom mind if you went along with us?" asked Roger.
"Uh I don't have any money on me", Alvin said with some embarrassment.
"Don't worry about the money, it'll be on me!" Roger said. "The movie, lunch, everything, our treat, we figured since this was your first sleepover ever, we wanted to make it worth waiting for".
"Thanks", Alvin said to Marvin's kind and generous father. Alvin thought for a moment how he had missed out on having a decent father like Marvin's Dad. How Alvin wished he could have had this sort of family life when he was growing up. He tried to forget about his past and instead enjoy the day. Alvin was taken back to his house to let his mother know that he had been invited to join Marvin's family for the afternoon. His mother gave consent, he excitedly return to the van and told Marvin he could stay.
Twenty minutes later they arrived at the movie theatre. The featured movie of the holiday season had just opened over Thanksgiving weekend and it drew hundreds of kids and their parents to the matinee showing that day. Some of the kids were staring at Alvin along with Marvin and Max as a trio was so cutely dressed in overalls and that their diapers were showing, especially for Marvin and Max. They bought their tickets and they headed to the concession counter for refreshments.
"Get as big drinks as you like, boys!" Roger said to them as he smiled at the three of them, knowing that their diapers would serve them well for peeing in and they wouldn't have to miss the movie for any bathroom breaks. Each of the boys ordered 32 ounce drinks as did their father. Their mother and Heidi only ordered 16 ounce drinks. During the movie each of the boys peed in their diapers several times as did Marvin's father. They were able to remain seated during the entire two hour show while they sipped down an entire gallon of soda pop among the four of them. Heidi and Rita however each left during the movie to use the restroom, both of them missing out on some of the funniest parts of the movie. The boys took pleasure in seeing how wearing diapers had its advantages in cases such as watching a lengthy film without interruption. Alvin enjoyed the movie as did Marvin and the rest of the family, he however had the distraction of a very wet diaper which needed changing. He never had to endure a wet diaper for more than a couple hours, at least while he was awake. He also didn't drink an entire quart of soda at one time very often and not since wearing diapers. His weakened bladder could do nothing to contain his urine it was holding and he felt like he was peeing constantly as the soda processed in his body. His diaper was wet and heavy with the volume of urine it was holding, although he was underestimating the full capacity of the diaper, he still feared that it would begin to leak on him or perhaps even burst.
They went out of the theatre and they talked extensively about the movie, they walked back to the van on the expansive parking lot, Alvin went to Heidi and he quietly asked her if she could change his diaper.
"Okay", she said as she smiled over his shyness, plus the opportunity to check his diaper and change it if necessary. "I'll check your diaper when we get into the van", she added.
Alvin felt embarrassed as the family ahead of him must have heard Heidi tell him about checking his diaper. One of the boys in the group turned around and looked at Alvin, though it was much more obvious that Marvin and Max were diapered than Alvin. When they got inside the van, Heidi had Alvin lie down on the seat in the back while she removed his overalls so that they were pulled down far enough to check his diaper. She ran her index finger in the space between the legs, she felt for wetness.
"Your diaper's fine", Heidi said.
"It's really wet", Alvin complained.
"It'll hold more, trust me", Heidi said to Alvin. "I ought to know after changing my brothers' diapers all these years".
A moment of silence passed as Heidi contemplated having an opportunity to change his diaper.
"If you would still like to be changed, I'll do it", she offered.
"It'll be well over an hour still before you get home", Roger said.
Alvin knew he had to let Heidi change him, or he would have to waddle in a soaked diaper even longer, most likely to wet it even more.
"Change me, please".
Before Roger could comment on cloth diapers being better, Heidi gave him a look as to say, he wouldn't take them on the offer. Heidi removed Alvin's overalls completely and she pulled the wet diaper off of him. She couldn't wipe him dry or powder him up as these supplies were not available.
"Hang on, how do you guys cope without diapering supplies in public? Shouldn't that be a priority to take stuff out with you?"
"Well, uh we don't normally change our boys until we get home so this is new to us", replied Roger.
"That doesn't make any sense since the boys have not been toilet trained and surely diaper rash isn't very nice either", said Alvin.
"Hmm, you do make a good point there Alvin. Ok from now on we'll take a diaper bag out with us if we need a change".
Heidi stood there tapping her chin, "Why haven't we done that before? Oh well you have to bare it, let me know if you get itchy and we'll stop to get some stuff to help it", said Heidi.
She pulled out another diaper from Alvin's bag, she spread it out on the seat and she had Alvin sit on it. She wrapped the diaper around his loins and fastened the tapes. She helped him get his overalls back on and she commented on how much nicer it was to have snaps in the legs and crotch like on her brothers' overalls.
"Thank you, Heidi", Alvin humbly said to her.
"My pleasure", she said and she meant it too.
"All done back there?" Roger asked his daughter. Heidi nodded, "Let's go to lunch!"
"Where are we going for lunch, Daddy?" Marvin asked him.
"Chuck E. Cheese!" Marvin's father shouted.
"Yeah!" all the kids cheered in unison to which Marvin's parents smiled. Alvin thought that after all this fine treatment they were probably going to a fast food joint, or at most, a family style restaurant. Alvin sat in his diapers as he rested his head on the headrest on his paws as he sighed with content as he relaxed.
"Awesome!" Marvin shouted. "You ever go there Alvin?"
"Never been there", Alvin answered. "Just Pizza Hut and all the other pizza places in town, I've always wanted to go to Chuck E. Cheese, but I never had anyone to go with before", he lamented.
"You'll have fun!" Marvin promised. "They have games and stuff, you know".
They arrived at the pizza place and they walked into its entrance. The trio of overall clad boys, each donning diapers, stood out as they walked through the busy pizza restaurant. The restaurant also had a video arcade too. Each of the kids got to order their pizzas and drinks. They were turned loose with enough money for tokens to keep them entertained while their pizzas were being made. Heidi and Max went off in one direction while Alvin and Marvin went their own way. Marvin led Alvin to one of his favourite racing games. They each took their seat in front of the large pair of screens and inserted their tokens. They gunned their engines, screeched their tyres and crashed into just about everything in sight, but they were having a lot of fun. It was about the most fun Alvin could ever remember having in his life. The boys continued playing various games, each of them having wet their diapers and not having their fun interrupted by a trip to the restroom. When the pizza was ready everyone was rounded up and returned to the table to eat. To Alvin's surprise even in the restaurant Marvin and Max were hand fed their pizza by Heidi. She alternated between her two brothers, giving one slice to Marvin, the next one to Max. The two boys' drinks were even served in kiddie cups with spill proof lids. Most people around them didn't seem to notice or care and Marvin and Max certainly didn't mind being fed, though Alvin still preferred to feed himself as he was in public. He wasn't quite ready to be this open about wanting to be babied.
After Marvin finished his pizza, he sat back in his seat and sat there with an odd look of concentration.
"Uh oh I know that look", said Roger.
Marvin unembarrassedly filled his diaper right there at the table surrounded by dozens of patrons and their kids. The smell followed, strong enough to overshadow the aroma of pizza. He kept going for a while. Alvin was taken aback how laid back he was about it in public, no way he could do that and not be embarrassed.
"I just took a giant dump in my diapers!" Marvin announced to his family and unintentionally to two girls sitting in the next booth behind him. He had said it loudly to be heard over the ambient arcade game noises.
"I'll change you when we get home", Heidi promised him as she wiped some pizza sauce off Marvin's face.
After the pizza was gone the kids continued to play games. Marvin didn't seem to be bothered by have a large, stinky load in his diapers as he waddled his way through the games. A lot of people noticed the smell, but assumed that it was a toddler badly in need of a diaper change and didn't think that Marvin was actually the source of the foul odour.
The afternoon of fun drew to a close as Marvin and Max's family left the pizza restaurant and headed home. On the way back, Marvin and Alvin were talking whilst Max was half listening, Marvin and Alvin looked at Max as he shifted forward and he loaded his diapers also adding to the smell in the van, tempered somewhat by numerous air fresheners placed throughout the van, plus having the back windows opened a little. He finished with a small, but muffled fart as he sighed and took his overalls off. He enjoyed having just his diapers on, especially when he was messy. Everyone was accustomed to the foul diaper smells and even Alvin was getting used to the constant odours of pee and poop as they were becoming more and more a part of his daily life.
"Thank you for everything!" Alvin thanked Marvin's parents as they dropped him off at his house. "I had a really good time!" He said goodbye to Marvin as he left the van and walked into his house.
His mother greeted him and asked if he enjoyed his time with Marvin and his family.
"Oh yes, it was the best time of my life!" Alvin said smiling, perhaps the happiest that his mother has ever seen him. "We went to a movie then to pizza and we played games, I hope to do it again sometime!"
"I'm sure you will, dear", his mother said. "You and Marvin seem to get along quite well".
Alvin then ran to his bedroom. He removed his overalls and put them away. He put the unused disposable diapers back in his drawer. He went back out to the front room wearing just his diaper and a shirt and sat down on the couch with his mother. She enjoyed looking at him in just a diaper. In her eyes, it was like he was her little boy again.
"Did you have any problems changing your diapers?" she asked him.
"No, uh, no problems", Alvin answered, feeling embarrassed as he thought about how he enjoyed Heidi diapering him.
"Did you change them yourself?" she asked him.
Alvin hesitated to answer.
"It's okay if someone else did it for you", his mother said to assure him. "I know you have a hard time getting them on tightly enough. Did Marvin's mother change you?"
"Actually Marvin's sister changed me", Alvin replied.
"Okay", his mother said, sensing that he wanted to tell her more. "As long as you didn't mind her doing it, it didn't bother you that she changed you, did it?"
"No, not really, just that she suggested that she should cloth diaper me instead".
"Did she force you to wear them?" Alvin's mother asked with some concern in her voice as she thought back to the way her husband treated Alvin and made him wear so many cloth diapers at a time just to punish him.
"No, she didn't force me", Alvin said. "She just said that she wanted to, but she left it up to me to make the decision and based on my past experience I declined and nothing happened after that and she used my own diapers from then on".
"Ok that's good, at least we can trust somebody", said his mother.
"No word on the situation of Carl and Mitchell?" asked Alvin.
"Not that I know of, maybe I should go chase her on that", replied his mother.
"That would be good, thanks Mommy", said Alvin without realising what he called her.
"Mommy?" his mother questioned, not used to hearing her son addressing her that way.
"I mean Mom", Alvin corrected himself.
She chuckled, "I don't mind if you call me, 'Mommy'. Where did that spawn from?"
"That's how Marvin and Max address their parents, 'Mommy' and 'Daddy'".
"Hmm I guess that makes sense, so how was the Oppenheimer household?"
"Uh the house is pretty big, their parents were kind and generous, they cooked for me and we watched a film at night, the usual stuff".
Claire looked puzzled at the lack of information he was revealing, "Are there any details about Marvin and Max that you've learnt from being there?"
Alvin realised what she meant, "Oh … uh, well at school and here they're normal pre-teen boys like me and Simon, but at their house they get treated as if they are younger".
"Younger? How young?" asked Claire frowning with confusion.
"Yeah… uh like toddler age".
"Hmm ok that's unusual".
"Please don't think badly of the parents, Marvin and Max enjoy it", Alvin pleaded.
Claire sighed, "Ok, but if I suspect any funny business, I will have to step in".
Alvin felt worried now, if that's her reaction to the boys second toddlerhood, he couldn't imagine the reaction would be to the questionable content he had on the disk he brought home with him.
"However, I'm glad to see that you are taking this diaper thing quite well now. I remember how devastated you were just a couple months ago. I thought this would really hurt you, you wouldn't even say the word 'diaper.' You've really come a long ways with this matter".
With this, she gave her son a big hug and kissed him on his forehead.
As she was about to leave him to his activities, he wanted to ask her something, "Mom".
"Yes Alvin", said Claire.
"Uh I was wondering if maybe I could start, uh wearing cloth diapers again", he said nervously.
"Really, after what your father put you through!"
"Uh I don't mind that anymore, but I don't want to see him if that's where this was heading".
"Of course not, no I wouldn't let him in the house, let alone be anywhere near you boys".
"Thanks Mom, when can I get some cloth diapers?" Alvin asked.
"If there's a place open when I go Christmas shopping, I'll pick some up", replied Claire.
"Really", exclaimed Alvin.
"Whatever you want, dear, I just want you to be comfortable with the situation you're in", said Claire.
"Thanks Mom", said Alvin.
"You're welcome Alvin", said Claire as she left him to his activities.
Alvin sat in front of the television with some excitement bubbling inside him, he was finally going to face the demons that have held him back. With this he sighed and watched cartoons for the rest of the afternoon while Simon and Theodore stayed home with him whilst their mother went shopping.
