I don't see anything that should be blocking it. Please try again later when you can!

As she was preparing a bottle for Madison, Ana a thought about what she was going to talk about with her little girl Alice once they got home, clearly Ana needed to correct this behavior with Alice trying to imitate Emily. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Need I remind certain young lady that she goes to us whenever she's upset and realistically she is the second oldest between Emily and Madison and you always go to Madison when you're upset when you get to visit." Again Alice was at a loss for words, but before she could stimulate a response she felt her diaper being padded by Camilla, which made her yelp, "But I believe that's enough talk for now some little girl definitely needs a change and some food in her tummy." Camilla then tickled Alice's tummy before picking the girl and taking her to the changing table.

Chapter 140 As I got closer to the car, I slowed down, trying to make sense of what I was seeing. Terry was leaning into the back seat, her upper body practically inside the car. Through the front windshield, I could see Betsy’s legs sticking up at an angle that made the whole scene look chaotic from a distance. It took me a second to piece it together. Terry was changing her. I hadn’t expected her to jump in and handle it herself, especially not right there in the parking lot, but Terry had always been practical like that. If something needed doing, she didn’t wait around. I stopped beside the car, still a little surprised. Terry glanced back at me with a look that was half don’t ask and half I’ve got this. Betsy was chattering away, completely unbothered by the situation. I paused for a moment, taking in the scene. Terry was half‑leaning into the back seat, moving with the kind of calm efficiency that only comes from experience. Through the windshield, I could still see Betsy’s legs sticking up at an angle, kicking lightly as she chattered about something. I let out a quiet breath and shook my head with a small smile. Terry had changed more than her fair share of poopy diapers with her twins. She knew exactly what she was doing — probably better than I did on most days. If anyone could handle a quick change in the back seat of a car, it was her. So, I just let her do it. There was no point in interrupting when she clearly had everything under control. Besides, the look on her face — focused, patient, just a little amused — told me she didn’t mind stepping in. I shifted the bags in my hands and walked the last few steps toward the car, ready to help however she needed it once she finished. By the time I reached the car, Terry was already finishing up. She backed out of the back seat with that practiced, efficient motion I’d seen her use a hundred times with her twins. One hand smoothed down the edge of Betsy’s shirt, the other tugged the seatbelt out of the way so she could settle everything neatly. Betsy was lying back against the seat, looking completely relaxed and content, swinging her feet a little as if nothing unusual had happened at all. Terry gave the waistband of the plastic pants a quick check, making sure everything was snug and comfortable, then helped Betsy sit upright. There, Terry said, brushing a stray curl off Betsy’s forehead. All clean. And in a fresh diaper Betsy beamed at her, proud and happy in that simple way only she could manage. Terry stepped back, turning toward me. She looked a little flushed from the effort, but calm — the kind of calm that comes from someone who’s done this routine more times than they can count. I figured it’d be easier to just take care of it now, she said with a small shrug, like it was no big deal. And honestly, with her experience, it wasn’t. I nodded, grateful. Thanks. You handled that like a pro. Terry smirked. Twins will do that to you. I looked at Terry, still a little surprised she’d taken the initiative. How did you even talk Betsy into letting you put a fresh diaper on her? I asked. Terry brushed a bit of hair out of her face and gave a small laugh. Honestly? You were taking so long that I just asked her if it would be okay for me to help her out of the dirty one and get a fresh one on her. She shook her head with a smile. It took her a couple of minutes to decide. She kept thinking about it, you know how she gets. But eventually she said yes. And once she did, Terry continued, I just went to work and changed her. She was actually really cooperative once she made up her mind. I nodded, impressed but not surprised. Terry had that calm, steady way of talking to kids that made them feel safe. If anyone could get Betsy to agree to something she was unsure about, it was her. I looked at Terry and nodded toward the open door. Tell you what — you get her settled back into her car seat, and I’ll grab the changing supplies and bag up the dirty diaper. Deal, she said, already turning back toward Betsy with that calm, practiced confidence she always had around kids. As I reached into the back seat and gathered up the fresh wipes, the baby powder, and the rolled-up used diaper Terry had just removed, I couldn’t help thinking back to our big conversation in the bedroom the night before. Betsy had been so incredibly firm about it—insisting with absolute certainty that Terry wasn’t going to be changing her diapers under any circumstances. She’d said it with that stubborn little frown she always got when she was absolutely sure of something, and I had even smiled and locked it in as an official boundary. And yet, here we were right in the middle of a public parking lot, and she just calmly let Terry wipe poop off her bottom without a single shred of protest." I tied the bag closed and shook my head with a quiet laugh. I guess wanting a clean diaper changed her mind. Comfort had a way of winning out over pride, especially with her. By the time I finished packing everything away, Terry had Betsy buckled in and chatting happily like nothing unusual had happened at all. As I walked around to the front of the car to get in, I glanced over at Terry and said, Thanks for changing Betsy’s diaper. I wasn’t exactly looking forward to dealing with that when I got back. Terry closed her door and gave me a quick, easy smile. Don’t worry about it. I was happy to help. She needed it, and I was right there. There was no judgment in her voice, no frustration — just that calm, capable tone she always had when she was taking care of kids. It made me appreciate her even more. Once we were both in the car, I turned around to look at Betsy in the back seat. I noticed she already had her thumb in her mouth, leaning back in her seat with that relaxed, dreamy look she got when she was feeling safe and comfortable. I couldn’t help but smile. Alright, kiddo, I said, you ready to show Terry what we picked up for her girls to have a great time today? She nodded enthusiastically, managing a muffled Yea! around her thumb. Terry blinked, surprised. What was that about? she asked, glancing between us with a curious look. Betsy immediately perked up, thumb popping out of her mouth as she drew in a breath. We got— Ah‑ah, I cut in gently, holding up a hand. Don’t spoil the surprise. Remember? We want it to be special. Betsy froze mid‑sentence, then nodded seriously. Okay. I won’t tell her. Her thumb went right back into her mouth, and she settled in again, content and calm. Terry shot me a raised eyebrow and a half‑smile, clearly dying to know what we had planned but choosing not to push. I just grinned back at her as I started the car. The engine hummed to life, and the three of us settled in for the ride back to the cabin — one of us curious, one of us excited, and one of us very happily sucking her thumb. The drive back to the cabin started off quiet in the best way. The kind of quiet where everyone’s relaxed, the air feels calm, and the road ahead seems to stretch out smoothly. Terry buckled herself in and shot me a sideways smile as I pulled out of the parking lot. You two are up to something, she said, half‑teasing, half‑curious. I just grinned. You’ll see soon enough. From the back seat, Betsy made a soft humming sound around her thumb, her legs swinging gently. She looked completely content — fresh diaper, new pacifier in her lap, and the promise of a surprise waiting at the cabin. Every now and then she’d glance out the window, then back at us, like she was trying to hold the secret inside her body. The road wound through the trees, sunlight flickering through the branches. Terry rested her elbow on the door and looked out at the scenery, but I could tell her mind was still on the mystery. So, she said casually, “Is this surprise something messy? Something loud? Something that’s going to have all three girls bouncing off the walls? I laughed. Maybe one of those. Maybe all of them. I will tell you that the three girls will be bouncing, but not off the walls She groaned dramatically. Great. I’m in for it, aren’t I? Probably, I said, keeping my eyes on the road but smiling. Behind us, Betsy let out a little giggle — the kind she made when she knew something someone else didn’t. She tried to talk again, thumb still in her mouth, but it came out as a jumble of excited sounds. Don’t you dare, I said playfully, glancing back at her. She froze, then nodded solemnly, thumb still planted firmly. Mm‑hm, she mumbled, which I assumed meant I won’t. The cabin road finally came into view — that familiar turnoff with the gravel crunching under the tires. Terry straightened up a little, clearly sensing we were getting close. Alright, she said, now I’m really curious. I just smiled. Good. That’s the point. Betsy kicked her feet again, practically vibrating with excitement. The surprise was waiting. And the girls were going to love it. The gravel crunched under the tires as we turned onto the familiar cabin road. The trees opened up just enough for the roofline to peek through, and Betsy perked up instantly, thumb still in her mouth but eyes bright. We’re here, Terry said softly, almost to herself, taking in the peaceful clearing around the cabin. I pulled into our usual spot and shut off the engine. The sudden quiet of the woods settled around us — no store noise, no traffic, just the soft rustle of leaves and the distant call of a bird. It felt good to be back. Betsy kicked her feet excitedly, wanting out of her car seat, her whole body practically vibrating with anticipation. She kept glancing between me and Terry, like she was holding the world’s biggest secret still inside her chest. Terry unbuckled her seatbelt and turned toward me with a curious smile. Alright, she said, “We’re here. Now what’s this big surprise you two are keeping from me? I just grinned. You’ll see. Let’s get everything inside first. I stepped out of the car, the cool air brushing against my face. Terry opened the back door and helped Betsy out of her car seat. She was clutching her new pacifier in one hand and still sucking her thumb with the other. She looked around the clearing like she was seeing it for the first time. I turned to Terry and said, Tell you what — I’ll grab the diaper bag if you can carry the other two bags inside. And don’t forget your swimsuit on the back seat. Got it, she said, already reaching for the bags with that easy confidence she always had. We started walking up the path toward the cabin, the gravel crunching under our shoes. Before we even made it halfway, the front door burst open. Two small figures came flying out. Mommy! You’re back! The twins shouted in perfect unison, their voices full of excitement. Terry barely had time to set the bags down before they collided with her legs. She bent down immediately, wrapping both girls in a huge hug, pulling them close like she hadn’t seen them in weeks instead of just a couple of hours. Oh, I missed you two, she said, her voice warm and full of that soft mom‑tone she only used with them. The twins clung to her, talking over each other in that breathless way kids do when they’re too excited to wait their turn. Terry laughed, brushing their hair back and kissing the tops of their heads. Behind her, Betsy watched the reunion with wide eyes, her thumb still in her mouth, her new pacifier clutched in her free hand. She didn’t look jealous — just curious, like she was taking in the whole scene and trying to decide how she felt about it. I picked up the diaper bag and the last of the supplies, giving the three of them a moment. It was one of those simple, perfect family moments — the kind that made the cabin feel like home. The twins finally loosened their grip on Terry enough to look around — and that’s when they noticed Betsy standing a few steps behind her, thumb in her mouth, clutching her new pacifier like a treasure. Both girls froze for half a second, their eyes going wide with curiosity. Hi, Betsy! one of them chirped. The other leaned sideways to peek around Terry. You came back too! Betsy blinked at them, then gave a shy little wave with the hand that wasn’t busy holding her pacifier. Her thumb stayed firmly planted in her mouth, but her eyes were bright and happy. Terry glanced back at her daughters. Girls, remember what we talked about — gentle voices, okay? Betsy had a big morning. The twins nodded quickly, their excitement softening into something more careful. They stepped closer, not rushing her, just curious. One of them pointed at the pacifier in Betsy’s hand. Is that new? Betsy nodded, her thumb still in her mouth, and held it up proudly for them to see. Aww, it’s pretty, the other twin said, smiling. Betsy beamed around her thumb, clearly pleased with the approval. I walked up with the diaper bag slung over my shoulder. Alright, everyone, I said, let’s get everything inside. We’ve got a surprise waiting, remember? The twins gasped dramatically, instantly distracted. A surprise? Betsy nodded so hard, her hair bounced, but she kept her lips sealed — she was taking her promise seriously. Terry laughed softly. Okay, okay, let’s go see what all this fuss is about. And with that, the whole group headed toward the cabin door — three excited girls, one very curious mom, and me trying not to grin too wide at what was coming. When we stepped into the kitchen, our moms were sitting at the table with coffee cups in front of them, smiling the moment we walked in. It was the kind of smile that said they’d been waiting, watching the driveway, and probably talking about us the whole time. Betsy’s mom — Lena — looked up first. Did you two get everything you needed? Terry gave her a mischievous smile. Oh, we got everything… and more. Lena raised an eyebrow, giving her daughter that classic mom look — the one that said I know you’re up to something, and I’m going to find out eventually. Terry just grinned wider. She set the shopping bags on the counter and turned back toward the table. You’ll see in a bit, she said, waving a hand like she was brushing away the question. While she chatted with the moms, I quietly opened the bag that held her swimsuit. I slipped the package of razors and the shaving cream inside, tucking them neatly so nothing would fall out. Once everything was together, I zipped the bag closed and handed it to her. Everything you need is in here, I said. Terry took the bag with a knowing smirk. Perfect. She started down the hallway toward her room, but before she got far, her mom called after her. And just what exactly is in that bag? Terry laughed without even turning around. You’ll find out soon enough. Lena shook her head, smiling despite herself. That girl, she muttered, but there was affection in every word. Terry disappeared down the hall, the bag swinging at her side, while the rest of us stayed in the kitchen — the moms curious, Betsy excited, and me trying not to give anything away too soon. I turned to our moms and asked, you didn’t tell Terry’s girls anything about the surprise, right? All three of them shook their heads. Nope, Lena said. We kept quiet. Good, I said, lowering my voice just a little. I need you to keep the girls with you in the kitchen. Don’t let them wander off until I tell you. Terry has a surprise for you all, and I don’t want anything spoiled. That got their attention. Three moms, three curious looks. I glanced at Betsy. Come on, kiddo. You’re coming with me, so you’ll be ready for the surprise. As we were leaving the kitchen, I stopped and picked up Betsy's diaper bag. I looked over at her mother and mentioned, 'We also need to rinse her poopy diaper out before we head to bed.' Betsy's mom looked right back at me with a surprised expression and asked, 'Oh, did she have another messy diaper today?' I nodded and told her, 'Yes, she pooped while we were at the grocery store, and Terry changed her right in the back of the car.' Her mom just let out a soft sigh, smiled with absolute respect, and said, 'Well, that was incredibly nice of her to handle. I am absolutely sure that Betsy was happy to get right out of that messy diaper configuration and into something clean. She nodded eagerly and slipped her hand into mine, thumb still in her mouth as we headed down the hallway. As we walked toward our room, I could hear the twins chattering behind us, already trying to guess what the surprise might be. The moms were doing their best to keep them distracted, though I could tell they were just as curious. We reached the bedroom door, and I pushed it open. And there — waiting for us — was a surprise of my own.
