Adrienne's New Perspective
Chapter 14
by
Spyder Rider
Adrienne awoke in her crib, snuggling Shimmer Blade closer, sucking her paci. She smiled as she felt the soggy state of her diaper, not caring how childish she looked. She rolled over and snuggled more into her warm, soft pink blanket. She was wearing her Charmander sleeper, with the hood up, when Luther entered.
"Hey there sweetie." he said softly as Adrienne stretched and rubbed her eyes. He leaned over the crib and looked down at her with a huge grin. "Ready to get up and start your day?" he asked gently, just in case Adrienne was still sleepy.
Adrienne nodded and held her arms up, giggling a little.
"Well, it would seem I have an energetic little hatchling!" he chuckles as he lifts her out of the crib. He lays her on the changing table, handing her Shimmer Blade before getting to work changing her. Once she was all clean, he changed her out of her sleeper, and into a bright pink t-shirt with nothing else save for her diaper.
"There you go, all dressed for the day!" he said happily as she giggled some more. Then she lunged forward and hugged him tightly, which he reciprocated by embracing her right back and wrapping his wings around her. Adrienne smiled wide behind her paci.
"I love you Dad!" she said, unable to contain her happiness.
"And I love you too Adrienne!" he said back, equally enthused. "Now, Mommy's out today to see about the movie that they're making about her book, and she needs to make sure that they're doing it right, so it looks like it'll be just you and Daddy today!" he said as he ended the hug by scooping her and Shimmer Blade into his arms, bouncing her as he carried her downstairs to the kitchen. He sat her down in a chair and kissed her forehead before making breakfast.
"How does a grilled cheese and bacon sandwich for breakfast sound?" he asked as he got started.
"Sounds great Dad!" she said happily as she sat there, hugging her pokeplushie, watching her Dad happily make her breakfast. Everything that Adrienne's new parents did made her feel loved and happy. In the time since she had been adopted, she has come to know, even deep in her heart of hearts, that she was now the center of their world. She was still embarrassed at times at how babyish she looked and acted. But that was a small tradeoff compared to the love and affection she felt from them. That's not to say that she believed that they only loved her for being cute, as they always made sure to remind her nearly everyday. But rather, they actually loved her for her. The fact that she no longer minded the baby treatment was just icing on the cake for them.
"That's what I was thinking!" Luther said as he started to place the cooked bacon on top of the cheese before putting the second slice of bread on top of that. Adrienne's stomach rumbled as the smell filled her nostrils, and Luther's belly responded loudly back. They both broke out laughing.
"I guess we were both feeling a little peckish." Luther said as he sat Adrienne's sandwich down in front of her along with her sippi-cup filled with Lum juice.
"Thanks Dad!" she said before digging in. Luther kissed the top of her head.
"You're quite welcome sweetie!" he said before sitting down with his own plate and glass of juice.
They both dug in and made quick work of their breakfast. As Adrienne finished off the last of her juice, Luther got up and started to take their dishes to wash. Adrienne started to get up to help with the dishes, but Luther shooed her away.
"I've got this sweetie! You go play for a little bit." he said while patting her head.
"Okay Dad!" Adrienne said happily as she gave him a quick hug in return. She picked up Shimmer Blade and carried him into the living room, where she turned on the T.V. and started to flip through various channels, stopping on one with an animated movie about a Pyroar, a Hippowdon, a Girafarig, and a Zebstrika and their adventure as they find themselves on an island filled with Aipoms and a side story about a team of four Prinplups pretending to be secret agents.
Adrienne watched the movie for a little while, before Luther walked up to her and scooped her up again. Luther smiled as he switched off the t.v. and carried her and Shimmer Blade to the door.
"What do you say we go outside and play sweetie?" he asked.
"Okay Dad." Adrienne smiled. Then she remembered what she was wearing and blushed a little. Luther smiled as he carried his hatchling over to the sandbox and sat her down, patting her head affectionately.
"Now, since I don't want to be scolded by your Auntie Judy, how's about we build a sandcastle for a little while?" he asked while holding up a pink plastic bucket and small plastic shovel out to Adrienne in one hand, and a camera in the other. Adrienne laughed at what she assumed was just a joke.
"Okay Dad! But I don't really know how." she said.
"Well that makes two of us!" Luther said as he sat down next to her and wrapped a wing around her. "But I'm sure we can figure it out together!"
One Hour Later...
Currently in the sandbox, there were several large shapeless mounds of sand, and not a single castle was among them.
"Huh. Okay...I would've thought that we would have it down by now." Luther said while scratching his head. Adrienne couldn't hold back the laughter anymore. She rolled onto her side and couldn't stop laughing. Luther smiled.
Well, so long as she had fun, then I guess I did an alright job! he thought satisfactorily before scooping Adrienne up in his arms.
"Oh, so you think this is funny, eh?" he said in obvious mock seriousness.
"You betcha Daddy!" Adrienne said, giggling at his goofiness before hugging him. "Thank you for spending time with me." she said as she hugged him. He stood there, hugging her back while stroking her hair.
"Anytime sweetie, anytime." he said gently as he carried her back in the house. He quickly checked her diaper, and finding her dry and clean, set her and Shimmer Blade on the couch.
"Now, what do you feel like doing sweetie?" he asked as he sat down next to her.
"Can we play some more of your game?" the words had barely left her mouth before Luther was up and turning on the console. He quickly sat back down and set Adrienne in his lap, handing her a controller.
"Well if you really want to, then I suppose we could." he said, causing Adrienne to giggle. He smiled at her, and quickly popped her pacifier in before they started to play. Adrienne for her part didn't seem to notice as she played, gently sucking on it. Luther saw this, smiled wider, and then got down to some serious game time with his little girl, wrapping his wings around her. Time seemed to fly while they played. After a while, Adrienne started to yawn.
"Getting sleepy sweetie?" he asked gently. Adrienne didn't speak, instead just nodding.
"In that case, I think that it's a good idea for all little hatchlings to take a little nap." he said as he saved their game. He gently picked her and her plush Keldeo up into his arms, and started to carry her to her room. He checked her diaper to see if she needed a change, but she was still good. Then he tucked her in and laid Shimmer Blade right next to her. She smiled at him through her pacifier as her eyes drooped.
"Have a nice nap princess." he said before leaning down to kiss her lightly on the forehead. He started the mobile above her and then quietly exited her room. Luther smiled as he walked downstairs, careful not to be too noisy. It was when he reached the bottom of the stairs that Sarah opened the front door and excitedly floated through, humming a tune to herself.
"I take it that everything went smoothly?" he chuckled to himself as she jumped, not seeing him standing there.
"Oh, yes, it certainly did." she said as she floated over and kissed him.
"Better than expected actually." she hanged a pink coat on a rack by the door as she looked around. "So where's our little Jewel?"
"I just put her down for a nap. She'll be up in a while, dazzling us with her cuteness." he said with a smirk at seeing how happy the thought made Sarah. Then a serious look came over her face.
"Is something the matter honey?" he asked, starting to feel concern.
"Nothing's wrong...it's just that...well...remember that photo-shoot a few days ago?"
Luther nodded, and Sarah continued.
"Well, someone whose working with the cameras was also working at the shoot that day. And, they asked about putting her in a commercial."
"Is that all?" Luther said with a smile, glad that it wasn't something much more serious.
"Well, actually, they were very persistant...to the point that the price they were willing to pay was...very high..." she trailed off.
"Just what kind of commercial is this?" Luther asked, growing concerned again, this time for the potential safety of his little hatchling.
"It was for a company that's going to be introducing a new line of baby products soon. They're going to try and take on the Soulsword empire, and they want Adrienne to star in a commercial modeling their new line of diapers."
"...Wow!" Luther said while scratching the back of his head. "I didn't see that coming."
"They said that Adrienne was the most adorable child they had ever seen and that's why they want her so badly...well that and because they recognized her as The Lady Knight."
"...So how are you thinking of handling this?" he asked her.
"Well, obviously I said that I would ask her what she thought of the idea. And that if she said no, then that would be the end of it."
"Well of course! We would never put Adrienne through something like that without asking her permission." he said firmly. "No matter what the price!"
"I agree Luther. What I've been thinking on is...should we tell Adrienne?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean...what if she thinks that we want to make her do the commercial, with or without her permission? Or what if we ask her about it, and she feels pressured to do the commercial even if she doesn't feel comfortable with it...and..." she was cut off as Luther gently wrapped his arms, and his wings around her in a hug.
"It's all going to be alright honey. We shouldn't keep this from Adrienne. I don't think that she'll go for the idea, but it's still her decision to make. Besides, I honestly believe that she's come to trust us to the point of knowing that we would never pressure her to do something that she may not want."
As the two discussed this, they had yet to realize that Adrienne had heard Luther talking to Sarah and immediately climbed out of her crib and stood at the top of the stairs, listening to the entire exchange. Adrienne hugged Shimmer Blade as she quietly walked down the stairs and right up to her parents.
"Oh! Adrienne! I'm sorry sweetie, did we interrupt your nap?" Sarah asked as she and Luther let go, and scooped her up into her arms, cradling her.
"I heard Dad start to talk to you, so I wanted to come down and see you." she said with a yawn. "And then I heard everything else you two said. Would it really be alright if I said no?"
"Of course sweetie!" Sarah quickly said.
Adrienne looked up at her, and smiled wide as she hugged her tighter than she ever had. Her old parents, if they had received an offer of a large sum, would have made her model the diapers, no matter what age or the humiliation.
"I love you Mommy and Daddy." she said, a little sleepily as she was rocked in Sarah's arms gently.
"We love you too Jewel." Sarah whispered, her eyes filling with tears of joy as she floated Adrienne back upstairs and tucked her back into her crib. She gently place her pacifier back into her mouth and smiled warmly as she gently shut the door. Luther was waiting for her just outside the door. Sarah smiled at him and hugged him immediately, and tightly.
There are no words that can describe the joy that she and Luther both felt in that very moment. They stayed like that for the longest time, just holding one another.
One Peaceful Nap Later...
Adrienne started to stretch again, feeling very well rested. She was still sucking on her paci as she grabbed Shimmer Blade and climbed over the railing. She landed on her padded bottom with a crinkle. It was as she was sitting there, that she realized that she needed to go. So, not thinking twice about it, she concentrated for a moment, and was soon sitting in a wet diaper.
After she was done, she got back to her feet, and walked out of her nursery and down the stairs. She saw Sarah sitting on the couch, reading a book. Giggling, she ran over to her and climbed up in her lap, wrapping her arms around Sarah's neck.
"Someone's clearly had a good nap." she said as she set her book down and returned the hug.
Adrienne just smiled as she and Sarah ended their hug, and continued to sit in her lap.
"Uh-oh! Someone's also clearly got a wet diaper!" Sarah said with a giggle herself as she cradled Adrienne and carried her back upstairs. After a few minutes, she was carrying a freshly diapered Adrienne back downstairs and into the kitchen. There, Luther was kneading some dough.
"Who wants home made pizza for lunch?" he asked happily.
"Me!" Adrienne cheered in Sarah's arms. She excitedly let her paci drop, still clipped to her shirt, and set Shimmer Blade down at the table.
"Can I help Dad?" she asked, having never had home made pizza before.
"Sure thing princess! Just go wash up first and then you'll be set to be my little assistant!"
Adrienne smiled as she ran off to the nearest bathroom to wash her hands. She quickly returned and sat next to Luther on a stool that Sarah had set up. Sarah was herself currently busy with the family video camera, preparing to catch this little father daughter bonding experience in film.
"All set princess?" he asked. She smiled and said "You betcha!", making Luther chuckle. He had finished kneading the dough into a nice circular shape, and Adrienne spread the sauce with a ladle. Once they were done with that, they both spread the shredded mozzarela on top. Then Adrienne made a smiley face with the pepperoni, outlining it with olives. Then Luther set it in the oven and started a timer nearby. Once they were done cleaning up, they both went into the living room to get in a quick gaming session before the timer went off. All to soon, it did.
"And that's lunchtime everyone!" Luther said happily as he carried Adrienne into the kitchen, setting her down on the stool again while Sarah put on some oven mitts. Soon, the Pizza was sitting on the counter, being sliced by Luther into some very wide slices. They all sat down at the table and enjoyed a very nice meal. Adrienne had another sippi cup of juice with her slices.
"How is it Adrienne?" Luther asked excitedly.
"It's the best pizza I've ever had Dad!" she said as she enjoyed a third slice.
"It certainly is dear!" Sarah said as she continued to film Adrienne.
Luther smiled at that. Video games were his true passion, but he also took a lot of pride in his cooking. And seeing the smiling faces of his wife and little hatchling, brought a huge swell of warmth to his heart.
Elsewhere...
"Thomas! Thomas!" Melody called as she searched through the store. He had said that he was going to grab a bolt of cloth from the back, but that was over an hour ago, and she was starting to worry.
"Thomas!" she called a little louder. She waited and listened, and could hear a muffled sound coming from behind a few shelves back. She hurried over, and quickly found a large pile of various fabrics. There was a shape moving beneath fabrics, frantically.
"Thomas!" she exclaimed as she used her tail to quickly remove the fabrics until she was staring at her son. Instinctively, she picked him up and curled herself around him in a hug. Then she started to look him over.
"Are you alright sweetie? You're not hurt, are you?" she asked.
"No, I'm alright mom. I promise." he said, a little dejectedly.
"Oh sweetie." she said as she carried him out of the back and set him down in the front of the store. Then she lowered her head to make eye contact with him. "I know that you're really enthusiastic about helping out here, but you have to take things slowly sweetie, otherwise you'll end up hurting yourself. And I would never forgive myself if you ever got hurt. Understand?"
Thomas nodded as he hugged his mom. She hugged him back gently, not wanting to let him go. As they let go, there was a loud crash from back where they just came from.
"Oh dear..." Melody sighed.
"I'll got get it mom!" Thomas said excitedly as he ran off, not waiting for a response from her.
"Thomas wait!"
