Chapter 12, Aunty Celeste and Good Diapers Return

Zack POV

No sooner had Tommy finished telling us about his trip to see Rosie, when Kira and Betty gotted there to pick up Chuckie, Kimi, Phil and Lil.

"Bye guys, see you later." I said.

"Bye." All of them said, as they lefted the playpen, and me, Tommy and Dil just sat there, rolling our favorite star ball to one another for a while till Tommy's mommy and daddy came to get us for dinner.

Dinner was really good! We had barbecue chicken and rice, two of my favoritest foods! I don't think Dil liked his rice very much, he kept spitting it out instead of swallowing it, but I ate every last bite! And poor Tommy drank a ton of water that night, I'm guessing all of that story telling made him thirsty.

During dinner, my aunty called, with the bestest news I had heardid all day!

"Guess what sweetie, I'm coming home tomorrow!" Said Aunty Celeste to me on the Pickles portable speaker phone.

I was so excited, I kept pressing numbers, and it took the jaws of life to get the phone away from me so Tommy's mommy could tell my aunty goodbye and hang up the phone.

After dinner, we got all ready for bed, and unlike the previous night, we all did as we were told, we brushed our teeth, got into our PJ's, had our diapers changed, or went potty, depending on who you were, as one out of the three of us was potty trained, had our book read to us, this time, Tommy and Dil's daddy read it to us and it was that book where Reptar says goodnight to everything in the world, and then, we went to bed, Dil in his crib, me and Tommy side by side in his bed on the other side of the room.

Tommy and Dil fell asleep as soon as the lights went out, but no matter how hard I tried, I just, couldn't get to sleep! I was so excited about my aunty returning home the next day, as I missed her so much! When you're eighteen-months-old, a long weekend away from the ones you love, feels like a lifetime! Finally, I closed my eyes, and tried to have happy thoughts of my aunty returning, and sleep must have come, but sadly, it didn't stay.

What is it with poor Tommy getting the short end of the health stick as of late? Poor guy had the tummy bug while in Boston, now, he's got a cold, as I awoke to him sneezing and coughing at one point during the night.

"Ah Chew!" Said Tommy.

"Bless you Tommy." I said sleepily, awakened by his sneeze.

"Thanks, sorry I…" He started to say before he started coughing.

"You ok Tommy?" I asked, once he was done.

No sooner had I asked that, when his mommy came in to check on him, and asked the same question. She examined him, and, yep, it was obvious, he had a cold. I had a feeling I knew what the next day was gonna be like, I just hoped my aunty would get home early from her business trip.

Then, if Tommy getting sick wasn't bad enough, by the time the sun waked up the nextest morning, Dil was sneezing and coughing too. I never realized brothers could get sick at the same time, but guess it's possible.

"Poor Tommy, and poor Dil." I thought to myself, as we all headed downstairs for some breakfast, where I ate every last bite of my Reptar cerial, sadly, Tommy and Dil only ate half of their breakfast, while they drank all of their juice, which was a good thing, as I hear colds can make you thirsty.

No sooner had we finished our breakfast, when it started to rain outside. So sadly, we had to play inside, and I was still stuck in my puffy diapies until my aunty arrived, so between the rainy weather, and my hosts getting sick with colds, it soon turndid into the longest day of my life.

Despite them having colds, we did play together, but we didn't say much to one another. Just passed the ball around or built with blocks, while watching our favoritest shows on TV. I kept staring up at the clock on the wall. Now I didn't really know how to tell time, but I loved looking at the numbers, I found letters and numbers to be just fascinating, and I couldn't wait till I was old enough to go to preschool, where they would hopefully, teach me about the clock and what the hands mean, and if I can't wait that long, surely I can always ask Peter about it, since I don't see Susie very often, and I don't trust Angelica. Heck, I wouldn't go to Angelica for advice, unless I'm really desperate, like I was when me and Tommy weren't speaking to one another the other day, otherwise, I just assume, leave her alone, since most of what she says is either not true, or, not the best way to go about something, as I took Angelica's advice by giving Tommy my favoritest bear, and as a result, poor Frosty became deheaded.

After a while, Tommy and Dil got tired of playing, so we all just, quietly watched TV. I managed to sit through the Goober show, and they watched Super Why with me, and after Super Why was over, it was finally, time for lunch! We all had my favorite, steak and noodle soup, and it sure was yummy! Then, we all went down for a nap, and just as I suspected, Tommy and Dil slept longer than I did, so I headed down to the playpen where I occupied myself with Tommy's toy laptop. At least I knew he wouldn't mind, now that we had made up and were friends again. He sure took me by surprise though, as I was playing the guess what animal I am game on the computer, when he pressed one of the buttons, causing me to get my answer wrong.

"Ooops?" Said Tommy, followed by him sniffling in my ear. I turned to glance up at him, and just smiled. I really didn't mind at all.

"So Tommy, how are you feeling?" I asked.

"I'm ok." He replied, as he sat down on the floor, and we played Reptar races the dump truck.

Soon Dil joined us, and we all had fun. They may have had colds, but they sure didn't seem sick to me. Either that, or, they were doing their best to hide it cuz they didn't want me to be too lonely or sad. I just hope I didn't catch their colds, but if I did, at least my aunty would be coming home, and would be here to take care of me. It sure was taking her a while to get home though, as it was then time for dinner, which was meat and potatoes, and she still hadn't arrived.

I reluctantly, ate my meat and potatoes, and I'm guessing the colds must have gotten worser come nighttime, as after dinner, Tommy and Dil didn't feel like playing, so there I was, occupying myself again, till it was time for us to go to bed. Dil and Tommy were given some medicine to help them sleep through the night, and I was put into my PJ's, along with another surprise. Tommy's mommy had sewed the head back on to Frosty's body!

"Look who came to sleep with you Zack?" Said Tommy's mommy, as I saw Frosty in her hand, all fixed. I squealed with delight and took the bear out of her hands, really happy to have him back.

I snuggled up with him in Tommy's bed, and was about to go to sleep, when Tommy turned and said something to me.

"Glad my mommy could fix Frosty for you, and I'm sorry for breaking him." Said Tommy.

"I forgive you. And I'm sorry I broked my promise. I'll never do something like that again. I'm also sorry you had a crummy time at Rosie's, but I'm glad you found the silver lining in the clouds." I said, as I rolled over, looking at Tommy, who was lying on his side, gazing at me.

"Me too, and I'm sorry you had to wear those awful diapies, and your aunt went away, but maybe there's a silver lining in your weekend with me too." Said Tommy.

"You know what Tommy, I think you're right. I mean, I did get to spend some time with two of my bestest friends, you and Dil, as well as a bunch of our other friends, and even though we didn't play together for a whole day, I learned what breaking promises can lead to. You know, Angelica gets all upset when she can't watch TV or have dessert, but I think being timed out from playing with your bestest friend for a whole day is even worser. I'll take no candy or Super Why over no friends at anytime." I said.

Tommy yawned and closed his eyes. I'm guessing his Night Quilt, or whatever his mommy and daddy called the medicine, was kicking in, as it's not like Tommy to doze off while I'm talking.

"Hope you feel better Tommy, and, bye bye, since I'm guessing my aunty must be getting me really late after bedtime, if we were putted to bed before she gotted here to get me." I said, as I rolled over and snuggled with Frosty, thinking about every silver lining I had over the weekend.

"Got to go to music class, got to play in the park, heard about Tommy's trip to see Rosie, figured out how to walk in these diapies, even if they're not very comfortable, yep, it may have rained a couple of the days I stayed, but my long weekend with Tommy and Dil, wasn't half bad after all." I thought to myself, as sleep finally founded its way to me.

No sooner had I been asleep for a while, when I awoke to find myself, in somebody's arms.

"Hey Zack sweetie, I'm home." Said Aunty Celeste, as she picked me up. I opened my eyes, smiled, and gave her a big hug.

"Thanks for watching Zack while I was gone Didi." Aunty Celeste whispered to Didi as I was carried out of Tommy and Dil's bedroom, Frosty and all of my stuff, now in the diapie bag draped over my aunty's shoulder, as we headed downstairs, out of their house, and I was placed into my car seat in my aunty's driverless van.

"It was no problem, Zack is always welcome to stay with us." Said Didi, as she told us goodbye, and we headed for home.

Then, the bestest part came when we gotted home. Before my aunty put me into my Reptar racecar bed, she changed my diapies, and, to my pleasant surprise, she putted me back into the diapies I prefer, regular old reliable ones, not those puffy butt balloons.

"Well Zack little buddy, it's back to your old reliable diapers again. I'm so sorry you had to wear those puffy things, aunty was in a hurry and picked up the wrong kind by mistake when rushing around to get things for you to have while I was away. Forgive me?" Said my aunty.

I nodded and squeezed her hand, letting out a little giggle. My giggling made her giggle, and it just, felt great, to have everything back to normen again.

"I love you Zack." Said Aunty Celeste, as she kissed the top of my head, and tucked me into my Reptar racecar bed with Frosty.

She lefted the room, turned out the lights and closed the door. I then turned to Frosty and told him something I don't think I ever told him before.

"You know what Frosty? I love spending time with my friends, and going to sleepovers, but sometimes, the bestest part, is coming home and sleeping in your own bed. Night night." I said, as I snuggled up with Frosty, and before I went to sleep, I did something I've seen my aunty do if I've had to sleep with her at a hotel or at somebody's house, I put my hands together and talked to Bob.

"Dear Bob, please make Tommy and Dil feels better, colds are no fun. Thank you, and a men, or however I'm spose to say goodbye to you, I think that's what the growed ups say." I said, as I rolled over, and went back to sleep.
