Chapter 8 :
Marcus finally let Jack slide off his lap, and Jack exhaled shakily, though it did little to calm the heat in his cheeks. But before he could even begin to relax, Jill grinned and raised her phone again. Oh no… not again…Jack thought, curling his fingers slightly, wishing he could hide. The clicks of the camera only reminded him of every humiliating second he’d just endured.
A sudden, heavy shift in his diaper made Jack freeze. Oh… no… I… I wet myself. The realization sent another wave of embarrassment washing over him. His tiny body stiffened instinctively, and he wished he could vanish right then and there. Marcus leaned in, a teasing whisper brushing Jack’s ear. Stop it… please… he thought, even as his cheeks flamed hotter.
Mrs. Turner’s calm voice cut through his panic. “This is a good time for Marcus or Jill to change the baby.”
Before Jack could even protest, Jill had him lifted back onto the changing table, the tummy strap clicking securely into place. I can’t believe this… I’m stuck… everyone’s watching… His heart pounded as he felt the firm hold of the strap, making escape impossible.
Jill’s hands were quick and efficient, cleaning him up with precise movements. Swift… careful… but so… humiliating, Jack thought. He felt every motion amplified, every shift and adjustment a reminder of his helplessness.
“Such a good little boy,” Jill cooed in her sing-song baby voice, and Jack felt his body tense. Good little boy… I’m not a baby… oh God… they think I am… Her teasing comments, meant to be playful, drove his embarrassment higher with each word. Don’t wiggle too much now… he could hear her say, and all he wanted was to disappear under the soft padding of his diaper.
Jack lay there, completely still, pressing the pacifier to his lips as a small, grounding comfort. Just get it over with… just finish… please… He tried to focus on the soft suckling, the gentle rhythm calming his racing heart. But the memory of being photographed, teased, and entirely powerless lingered, making every second stretch like an eternity.
When Jill finally finished, Jack sagged slightly against the changing table. Relief mingled with lingering shame. He was clean, safe, and tucked back into his diaper, yet he knew the embarrassment would cling to him long after the ordeal had ended. His small body shivered, not from cold, but from the intense mix of vulnerability, humiliation, and the tiny comfort of his pacifier.
I looked it over. Do you enter the same amount in both minimum and maximum? How do you distinguish the destination between monthly bill and general fund?
