Diapers work way better in zero gravity.

Hiya folks! Sorry for such a long delay, but I'm back now with a freshly baked new chapter! I hope that you all enjoy it! Back to Basics (Chapter 11) by Panther Cub "So things were gettin' harrier than a clogged shower drain. I was certain someone was definitely tailin' me, all while I was tailin' my lead. I'd managed to snap a few pics, but in the process I'd kicked a whole hornets' nest of problems. And they were about to get a lot worse. Can't blame a guy for noticin' more silver in the fur around their muzzle and wishin' they could do somethin' about it. Besides, if I was gunna ready myself for a fight, I'd need more than some joints that tend to pop more than a bag of cheap microwave popcorn. I took the serum, and after a bit of a back alley brawl with three big punks that I managed to come out on top of, I hurried to make sure I wouldn't lose my lead." The black wolf looked around at the others listening to his story. Looking out a nearby porthole, the rain was still coming down in gushing buckets, obscuring the seedy docks beyond. "I found him alright. But it wasn't like the dame had suspected. It was worse. See, he was meeting with another woman alrighty, and two very young toddlers that called him Daddy. I still double-checked my facts before presenting it all to the client, Molly. I knew she was gunna be devastated... but who wouldn't be if you found out your spouse wasn't just two-timin' ya, but instead had an entire secret family. I was not lookin' forward to the dame's tears, but if I wanted to get paid, I had ta keep goin'. I recorded them at the fairgrounds, the picture of a wholesome family, ain't that ironic, and then did some digging. Found the birth and marriage certificates. All were dated a year after he married his current wife. The genius didn't even try changing his name or something." He took a sip from his glass, frowning at the sight of the sippi-spout, but the taste of white cranberry more than made up for it. "So about a week after I took that serum, I presented my findings to my client. As I suspected, she was distraught, and even cried into my chest. What can I say, I can be a sucker for a dame. Then... she started gettin' taller, and not just because, while still teary-eyed, her ears popped up in shock. I felt a tingle all over my body and started to fall, but she caught me under my arms. When I was done shrinking, she was holding me like that, me wearin' nuthin' but my casual white button-up with my fedora almost enveloping my whole head. My trench coat and pants and tie lay there on the floor. You could say that I got a little emotional myself, but I'd regressed back to... uh... well, the doc said I was around two to maybe eighteen months. Anyways, Molly, my client. sniffled but composed herself and smiled at me and planted a kiss right between my eyes." The wolf cub in the bright blue swim diaper with the matching floaties on his arms sighed as he looked around the group of regressees sitting in a semi-circle facing him inside the plastic pirate ship, water constantly pouring down from above. Squeals and happy laughter from children at play coming from the 'seedy docks' nearby, cordoned off from the Private Party going on. "I guess my natural charm was enough to help her through the initial shock. Heh, dames, what can you say? Anyways, the new assistant I hired on a couple weeks prior was my only emergency contact, and to say that Sheila was surprised to be handed a toddler and told it was her boss would be putting it mildly. But she sure surprised me. Instead of dropping me off at a hospital or someplace, she actually took me home. Well, after stopping at a grocery store on the way to pick up some... supplies. So we've been co-habitating ever since, and she's even managed to help me on a few cases! No one ever suspects the puppy in the stroller is secretly filming them cheat!" "Who thinks to suggest an indoor water park to have a support group meeting?" Terra whispered to Tristan and Caroline. The two girls were wearing matching pink glittery one-piece bathing suits with attached white skirts to hide the snaps at the bottom, and also to match the white water wings. Tristan, sporting some orange water wings on his own arms, and blue and purple bermuda swim trunks over his own swim diaper; rolled his eyes. "Apparently whoever wrote it on the paper Bill pulled out from the meet-up raffle last time," Caroline whispered back. "Also, wasn't it two big punks that he got into a fight with the last time he told this story?" "My personal favorite is when it involved a bomb on a bus that was rigged to explode if it went below fifty miles an hour!" The two girls giggled. Just outside the play ship were some blue plastic picnic tables set up around each other. They were packed with the regressees' caretakers. "I don't like to say that it was fate, especially since I'd had a big argument with my now ex-fiance due to... well, his not wanting to have kids, but it's just so... serendipitous for little Jeffrey to have come into my life like he did!" Sheila, a mature snow white rabbit wearing a simple purple one-piece bathing suit, let out a happy sigh as she looked back over to where the regressees were still discussing things in the play ship. "One moment I'm sighing, thinking I'm about to go in to another awkward situation where my boss is probably about to get beat up by an angry cheating spouse... again. The next I'm cradling the sweetest little puffball of a pup in my arms, rocking him and humming a lullaby to try and help him calm down. Both from the transformation and for the little accident he had shortly afterwards." There were nods of understanding from some of the others sitting around. "It might be odd... but now I can't even imagine my life without my special little detective in it." Mia reached over and gave the bunny woman's paw a squeeze. "We know we know exactly how that feels," she said while motioning to Sally sitting next to her. Both were wearing matching red and white-striped one-piece bathing suits. Sally nodded and turned to check on Amy, who was splashing around the little wading pool with other children her age. The little panthress was laughing as she splashed around with a pair of fox twins. She was wearing a bright orange swimsuit, a blue pair of water wings, and a bright pink water ring around her waist. "We've only had Tristan for a little while, but now it's like we've always all been together as a family!" Sally took her wife's hands in her feathery own and looked into her eyes. "We've been blessed by two wonderful little miracles." She and Mia shared a kiss that was all too short in Mia's opinion, but the panthress started purring regardless. "And actually... since Tristan's birthday is going to be next Saturday, we were planning on having a party for him in our backyard." "OH!" The chestnut brown horse woman on Mia's right looked delighted, whipping her phone out and tapping on the screen, marking the date on the phone's calendar. "I just know that Billy would love to go!" "I know for a fact that both Terra and Caroline would never forgive me if I let them miss going to the little guy's birthday party," Miles said with a chuckle. The tiger was wearing a pair of simple white trunks, his tail swishing as he also fished out his phone. "I think Meggy would probably love to go as well. What do you think, Leslie?" The sheep girl, whom Mia had learned was twenty-eight, was wearing a bright red bikini top with a green skirt wrapped around her lower half. She was also trying not to be obvious in her ogling of the large and muscular tiger or his six-pack abs. Her wool was trimmed short, revealing a much slimmer build than her usual look. "Hmm? O-oh! Yeah! Gam-Gam would love to go! And knowing her, she'd probably want to make up a batch of her famous peanut brittle as a treat for everyone. U-unless someone's got a nut allergy! Then we can try something else!" She blushed a little as she snuck a quick look at Miles. "No need to fret, Leslie. I asked around the whole group and no one's got any nut allergies. The worst anyone has is my Billy's allergy to strawberries." The rest of the caretakers also began to join in, all agreeing that they and their charges could make it. Mia was positively beaming, something that brought a smile to Sally's face. The eagle woman gave her wife a kiss on the cheek before getting up to go and check first on Tristan, who was being cuddled by Meggy, the lamb's wool also trimmed short, no doubt due to it getting heavy when wet; and then on Amy, who seemed to be whispering something to the fox kits she was playing with. "Hi, kiddo." Sally said, taking a seat at the edge of the kiddie pool, letting her taloned ankles rest in the water. "Auntie Sally!" Amy squealed, clearly excited as she pointed to the boy fox in the green trunks and the vixen next to him in the matching green one-piece swimsuit. "These are my new friends Adam and Amanda! They're lotsa fun, they both like to play ski-ball, and they're both gunna be in my class when we start Kindergarten! Mrs. Applebee's room!" The little panthress was jumping up and down and splashing in pure delight. Sally felt her heart swell with joy, knowing Mia was going to want to celebrate Amy making some new friends in some way when she heard about it. "That's wonderful, honeypie!" "OH! And is Tristy's secret baby meeting almost over? 'Cause I wanna show my baby brother to my new friends!" Amy looked up with pleading eyes that Sally had to admit were always a bit hard to say an outright no to. Looking over and seeing the group of toddlers was beginning to leave the plastic pirate ship they had reserved, she waved Tristan, who was waddling towards the other end of the kiddie pool, over to them. In tow was Terra and Caroline. The former was skipping as she followed along, and the latter was holding a blushing Tristan's paw and clearly not about to let go for anyone. "Hey there, hun, is your meeting all finished?" Sally asked, lovingly ruffling his headfur and subtly checking to see if he needed a change. "Uh-huh. So me and Caroline and Terra were gunna go pla--AGH!" Tristan was surprised when Amy walked right up behind him and lifted the confused kitten up under his arms to carry over to her new friends. His wings flapped in shock before he calmed down. "Amy?!" "Here he is! This is my special baby brother, Tristan! My aunties say that he used to be big but then turned back into a baby, but I think that they're all just playing pretend because he's too cute to not have been a baby all along!" Amy declared, proudly presenting the confused and now slightly pouting Tristan to the two foxes. "That sounds like our new little cousin, Sam!" Amanda said, her tail wagging as she approached the kitten with a big smile on her face. "Mommy and Daddy keep tellin' us that he's actually our old uncle Sam who was allergic to some medicine and it made him grow down." Adam added, holding a bright red ball out for Tristan to grab. "But we know better! The stork musta gotten lost and dropped little Sammy over at our house. Uncle Sam will come and get him soon, probably." "Until then we play with him lots! Even when he's trying to watch the boring news and saying he's a grown-up!" Tristan rolled his eyes but knew better than to try and argue. There just wasn't any way to convince Amy of his adulthood. Figuring she'd be more understanding when she was older, he instead decided to toss, albeit a little clumsily, the ball back to Adam. The fox boy yipped and passed the ball to his sister who in turn tossed it back to the kitten. Soon, Terra and Caroline were splashing over to them as well. "Can we play too?" The little tigress asked. Soon it became a three on three game of catch, all being watched over by Sally, Mia, Miles, and a fox man named Eric. Mia was especially excited to set up a playdate with him for Amy and the twins. The day at the waterpark passed by far too quickly, yet Mia and Sally, as well as the other caretakers, made sure to take plenty of pictures to help preserve some of the fun and excitement. All too soon, everyone was packing up and heading home, toddlers corralled to have the pool water washed off, be changed into clean and dry outfits, and be safely buckled into carseats for the journey home. Halfway there, Mia, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned to see both her and her wife's charges completely tuckered out, sleeping away in their respective carseats. Amy held a stuffed raccoon in a lab coat close to her chest, while Tristan lightly snored around his binky as he hugged his large purple googly-eyed shark. She discretely snapped a picture of the two, having to fight back a squeal at the adorable sight. "They're both just so precious!" She whispered to Sally, who nodded. "Of course they are. They're our babies, after all." "And soon it will be official." Mia felt herself practically buzzing with excitement. "I still can't believe he agreed to being officially adopted! It's like a dream come true!" "If this is a dream, darlin', then I don't ever want to wake up." Sally said as they turned onto their street. One restful nap later... Tristan's eyes slowly cracked open. He saw Sally leaning over him, a warm smile on her beak. He realized that he was on the changing table of his nursery, and she was taping on a fresh pair of Snuggies. He yawned and rubbed his eye with a free paw, his binky almost falling out of his mouth. Spot, the big purple shark stuffie, was still in his arms. "Hey there, sleepyhead. Did you have a nice nap?" Tristan nodded. He sat up and saw Sally grab a simple green shirt. Reluctantly, he set Spot down next to him and held his arms up. "Aren't you just the best little helper?" Sally booped his nose before pulling the shirt down over his head, his arms popped out through the sleeves. She reached behind and expertly buttoned the flaps beneath the holes in the back for his wings. "There, one freshly changed cutie ready to play," Sally said, waiting for him to grab Spot again before she scooped him up off the changing table. Cradled in her arms, Tristan felt so safe and secure. "Mia decided on making a lasagna tonight. Does that sound good to you, hun?" "Yeah!" Tristan lisped around his pacifier. "Good! So in the hour that it should take for it to finish cooking, what do you want to do?" "Can me and Uncle Benji go fly a kite again?" Tristan asked, trying to look nonchalant. Sally chuckled and gave his cheek a kiss. "Not without my or Mia's supervision, to make sure that it's only a kite you two will try to fly." "Uh... I dunno what you mean, Mama." Tristan did his best to look as innocent as possible. "Uh-huh. That reminds me, I need to have a word with my dear, dear brother about that." "Awww, c'mon! We were totally safe!" "I'm sorry, sweetheart. But this is something that Me and Mommy are putting our feet down about." Entering the living room they could hear voices and laughter coming from the kitchen. Peeking in, they saw Amy standing on a step-stool at the counter next to Benji, who had a black apron tied around his waist. Mia was filming the two with her phone as the large black-feathered bird waved his feathery wings over some silver object in an act of showmanship. "Alrighty, we let the mixture set in the fridge to chill. And now is the time for the big reveal!" The silver object had a handle on the top. The rest of it was shaped like a misshapen metal football, with lots of oddly curving wrinkles. "Is that some kind of brain mold?!" Tristan asked, squirming in Sally's arms, wanting to be set down so he could waddle as fast as he could over to the spare step-stool to get a good look. "Sure is, little guy!" With another flourish of his winged arms, the metal mold was pulled away to show a jiggly pink substance shaped like a brain. "I used strawberry gelatin for that gooey brain look!" "Woooooah!" Tristan and Amy both said simultaneously. "Benji," Sally said, passing Tristan off to Mia so she could stare her brother down, giving him a glare, her feathery hands on her hips. Benji froze and partially turned to give his younger sister a sheepish smile. "What did we say about exposing the children to scary things?" "Woah now! Neither one is scared right now, right guys?" "Nu-uh!" Amy said, reaching over to swipe a pawful of the gelatin. "Me either! Also, I'm still an adult!" Tristan pouted around his binky. Sally continued to glare at her brother. "A-also, Mia totally let me do it!" "You said it was going to be an art project! You never said anything about making dessert body parts!" Mia huffed, putting her phone away. "To be fair, I didn't not say that they were body part related..." "Benji!" Sally growled out just as the doorbell rang. "We'll get that," Mia offered, shifting Tristan in her arms so that she was cradling him like Sally had been. Heading towards the front door, Mia nuzzled the kitten in her arms, smiling at him. He smiled back just as they reached the door. Mia opened it. "Can I help you?" The panthress asked. Tristan turned and froze. Standing there, clipboard in her clawed hands stood Kelly, a relieved smile on her bill. "Hello! My name is Kelly Saunders! I'm from Child Protective Services, and I've been looking for this little cutie for a little while now!" "CPS?!" Mia looked between the smiling platypus with the clipboard and the winged kitten in her arms, feeling her stomach drop. "Yup! I was finally able to get a foster family all lined up! May I come inside?" Before Mia could answer, Kelly brushed right past her, looking around. "Oh! Baby gates, that's definitely a good sign!" Tristand and Mia shared a worried glance. Sorry to leave you all on such a cliff-hanger... hehe, but anyways, I hope you enjoyed the new chapter! Be sure to let me know what you think!

Mess. (My aunt bought her house from another aunt, whose daughter had a Light Bright Set.) They were still finding those bulbs years later. 😂)

I'm at work, so no padding for me, though my intestinal temper tantrum could have warranted one. Thank goodness this time of night isn't super busy with guest needs. I had to address some personal maintenance needs, starting with laundry around 7 am on Saturday. Finished that, went and got my haircut, and something to eat before coming home, showering, and attempting to get some sleep.  Woke up around 8 pm, put on a Str8up Black diaper. I only wet that one once 👎before taking it off to get ready for Sunrise service at 6 am Sunday. Put on a Potty Monsters for double duty at church.  Wet it once when I finally got home and got ready for bed.  I wore that through part of the night, pooping it once and peeing in it too.  The deuce wasn't too bad, but I still didn't sit down in it and was careful when I stretched out on my bed, so I didn't have to unstick it from my butt. Around 2, I changed into a Let's Build and wore that until I took a shower and got ready for bed Monday morning.
