"I'm home sweetie!" Carol declared as she swung the door open to find KO sitting right there on the couch.
KO sat up a little as he looked at the bag his mom was holding, knowing exactly what was inside it, but not wanting to believe it. He gulped before responding, "hey mommy! So, uh, what exactly did you get?"
"Well kiddo...it's probably not gonna be something you'll love, but I promise it'll help you. Come into my bedroom for a few minutes and I'll show you."
KO got up from the couch and promptly followed his mom into the bedroom, knowing very well at this point what was about to happen. As they entered and she set the bag down on the end of the bed, he managed to see through it a bit to make out what it was, and by that point, he knew there was no turning back.
"Now peanut, I don't want you to get mad or think I'm trying to embarrass you for doing this, but believe me when I say it's for your own good. That's why as long as you keep having your accidents, you're gonna be using these."
Carol lifted the item out of the bag, revealing it to be a pack of 6-11 year old sized disposable diapers.
Upon sight of them, KO's pupils shrank in an instant.
Oh, cob. She is really gonna...what can I do?...should I just accept it? Or should I beg her to not do it?
KO thought for a few seconds before speaking. "D-d-diapers? Mommy, I'm way too big to wear those! They're for babies, and I'm a big boy! Is this the only thing you could've done? Whyyyy?" He said poutingly.
"I know you don't like it, it's not the most fun thing in the world, I get it. It doesn't make you a baby, it's just a way to make sure you don't have pee running down your legs and mess your pants. It's nothing to be ashamed of though peanut! Plenty of adults have to wear them sometimes too."
"B-but I don't wanna wear them! There has to be something else! Please, mommy! Please!"
"Sweetheart, I'm sorry, but you're gonna wear these, and that's that. No more arguing. Is that understood?"
KO caved as he realized he may as well just let it happen. Maybe it would all go away soon anyway.
"I understand mommy...I'll go ahead and put one on..." he said as he reluctantly grabbed a diaper out of the bag and began leaving the room before his mom stopped him at the door.
"Not so fast there, now. I know you're gonna hate me even more for this, but it's really for the best if I'm the one to put these on and change you." She then grabbed the diaper from KO.
"Are you serious! I'm not a baby! I can do it myself!" He whined crossing his arms.
"This isn't the same as underwear sweetie," she said as she held up the diaper, which was plain white and rather thick with two blue tapes on each side. "They have tapes that you need to put on nice and snug. Plus you already needed my helping cleaning your accidents, you're probably gonna need it while using these too. Just don't fight it, it won't be too embarrassing, I promise!"
KO couldn't believe he was about to have his mom put him into a diaper like a baby, but given there was no more room for him to fight it, he conceded.
"Ok, mommy...if you say so..." he said, sighing.
"Alright sweetie, just relax. It won't be that bad." She then picked him up and laid him down on the end of the bed before stripping off his pants and unfolding the diaper.
"Just try to think of something positive. Aren't you excited to go see your friends for a whole week?" She said as she lifted his legs and slid the diaper underneath him.
"Yeah, I can't wait! It's gonna be so much fun! They should be picking me up soon. I just hope they don't notice I'm wearing this..." He looked over at the clock and saw it was just 10 minutes to 3 and they would indeed be arriving shortly.
Carol then gently lifted the front of the diaper onto him before fastening the tapes on snugly and securely. She picked up his pants and quickly slid them back onto him before standing him back on his feet.
"Oh sweetie, they won't notice! Even if they do, they're your friends. They won't think anything of it. And see, that wasn't so bad was it?"
KO pulled up his pants slightly to ensure his diaper wouldn't be seen. "I...I guess not...this feels kinda uncomfortable, though..." he said as he took a few steps in it and felt it added a usual heaviness between his legs. "Not to mention embarrassing..." he looked down at the floor as he walked out the bedroom and into the living room.
"I get that you're by no means happy, honey, but just try not to think or worry about it too much, and everything will be fine. You may even forget all about it, or even better, the accidents could go away!" she said while joining him on the couch.
"I hope so...also...what will I do when I need to be changed when I'm with my friends? You said it's better if you're doing it, but you won't be there..." he asked looking up at her.
"If you really wanna try cleaning and changing yourself, I can't stop you, but if any of them are ok with helping you, there's so shame in asking! I'm sure they won't judge." She said before patting him on the head.
"I mean...that'll be weird and embarrassing...but I guess I could. I just wanna have fun with my best friends."
He then heard a horn from outside the house honking, and quickly grabbed his suitcase, shot up, and ran to the door.
"They're here! Oh cob, I can't wait!" Carol walked up to him and picked him up to give him a goodbye kiss.
"Have fun kiddo! Remember to text me when you get there and keep me updated." She then opened the door and walked with him up to Rad's van. "Stay safe! I love you!" She said as KO hopped in the van.
"Love you, mommy!" He yelled as they drove away.
