It's a Family Affair

[Drownedinp]

She wasn't sure, she forgot to ask was Chris going to stay in Oakland or was he coming back to Phoenix?

"I should of asked thought India.

She went home and got herself ready for another wet night.

As she sat in bed thinking about poor Chris.

She thought the last thing he wants is someone treating him like an invalid!

If she was going to help him get better she had better get off her pity pot!

She fell asleep soon after.

Early the next morning her phone began ringing, her first response was five more minutes mom.

Then why the hell is my alarm going off, I don't have to be to work until later, much later.

Then it's my phone.

Hello she said, still only half awake.

"Did I wake you?" said the female voice on the other end.

It took her a moment but it was Betsy the only mom that she had at the moment that she was talking to.

"Yeah but I think it's time to get up Mom" India said.

"Well sorry to wake you but Chris just got into Phoenix.

He will be getting the surgery here and his PT afterwards.

Right now he's a Grumpy Gus, he could use a pretty face like yours. Maybe it will cheer him up."

"Give me about forty-five minutes and I will be there mom, you know I feel like one of the family!"

"We consider you one as well! In my eyes your already a daughter. Please hurry."

"Okay mom."

She removed her wet diaper and crawled into the shower.

Her family doctor could not find anything wrong with her to explain her returning to bedwetting.

She sees a urologist next week, she had a suspicion, he wasn't going to find anything either.

It was just one of those things.

As a nurse she had seen and heard almost it all.

The water felt good and was clearing her head.

She had dealt with stubborn patients before.

They had a girl about eight months ago she had lost a leg in an ATV. accident.

The girl threw her dinner tray at her, India was wearing the remains of her untouched lunch.

After about one day without her meals laying In her own filth she was very greatful to get her breakfast and clean sheets that next morning.

Two days later she was apologizing for her behavior.

She was with them for a week and a half.

When she left she hated to go, she loved the nurses.

She ran into her at the mall about two months ago.

She had a prosthetic and when she saw India she ran to her almost tackling her she was so glad to see India.

India was smiling thinking about it.

Some patients you never forget some you just never remember.

They come and their gone.

She was dried and dressed and out her door.

The traffic sucked this early in the morning.

Soon she was at the Mitchells house today the hustle and bustle of the family did not bother her.

She was hugged by every one from Arthur to Hermione, everybody but Chris. She was warned about "Hurricane Christian! 

He had been surly to everybody that morning.

Ephraim had been just as surly back and he was on Chris's good side now.

But he was at work, he worked at the Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections, he was an Officer.

He learned that misery loves company.

He just told Chris "You don't dictate my mood I do, you aren't going to bother me one way or the other I have a brain and I'm not afraid to use it!

This made Chris laugh, "Are you sure little brother?" He joked back

India did her best that day to care for Chris.

He looked somehow smaller if that was possible.

He looked beat not physically more mentally and spiritually, his meniscus was torn in his right leg.

But he seemed depressed.

She cared for him and she then she had to leave for work and Betsy took care of him.

After work she returned to be with him.

This went on for a day or two.

On Tuesday, Betsy went to him and gave him the riot act.

"Do you think your the first player to ever get injured?

Do you think you'll be the last?

You got hurt, boo hoo!

Here India comes to take care of you and you haven't even thanked her, I hope I didn't raise any ungrateful kid but maybe I'm wrong because you look plenty ungrateful to me! 

I know she loves you, but for the life of me I don't know why?

You haven't given her much to love, you've been about as cuddly as a cactus!

If she gave you your ring back I wouldn't blame her one bit!"

Chris began to laugh "Jeesh mom did anybody ever tell you you have the bedside manner of a Sherman Tank!

Talk about both barrels!"

He called India and said "India, I apologize for being such a butthead!

Can I ask you to come here after work tonight I want to talk with you if your still talking to me."

[Drownedinp]

At work it was a pretty tough day for India.

She almost forgot to go see Chris she was so tired.

She just wanted to get a diaper on and climb into bed.

She didn't even care at this point if it wasn't her own bed.

Chris was waiting for her when she got there.

He was still awake.

He could tell she looked like she was running on fumes.

"Tough day" he asked already knowing the answer.

She said "it's been one of those days where I see what my fellow men do to their fellow men and it makes me ashamed to say I'm human like they are.

We've had shootings stabbings, guys beating up their wives, or their kids.

Had seven car wrecks, two of those were DOA. another two didn't make it.

Heart attacks, strokes, ruptured appendix.

I never even got lunch we were so busy!

Yeah a tough day!"

"Listen the reason I asked you to come over is because, well, we planned on getting married after my season was over, I'm not sure but I wouldn't be to sure to think it might be over.

How would you like to get married in a couple of days instead of a couple of months."

India looked at him "are you serious?"

"Yes" said Chris "I am."

"I would love to marry you Chris if it was yesterday that's not soon enough!

But what about you know the chapel, reception hall things like that? Caterers."

"Well I was thinking" said Chris that it's kind of late to arrange for those things.

We could get our licence get married by the Justice of the Peace at Glendale City Offices.

I know it's not a church wedding, but I just can't be away from you for very long said Chris.

My Great Grandma Isabella and Great Grandpa Christian were married December 23, that's tomorrow. What do you think?"

"I love it" said India.

"Instead of Christian and Isabella it will be Christian and India."

Chris asked her one more thing and he blushed when he said it, well whispered it was more like it "Make sure you wear that teddy that you teased me with in Oakland!

You don't know how really close I came that night to me losing my virginity!"

"One other thing asked Chris.

With my knee out of whack I can't get to the toilet as easy.

Can I get you to change me please?"

"Sure" said India, "I need a favor of you, I need to borrow a diaper from your sisters that will fit me and you diaper me?

I'm way to tired to safely drive to my apartment I don't think I will make it!"

Turns out that Hermione's diapers fit her and both fell asleep.

Chris knew India was way to tired to even try anything inappropriate!

[Drownedinp]

Next morning they went to the Glendale City Offices.

They got their Marriage License.

Then was married by the Justice of the Peace.

It was December 23.

Ephraim was Best Man and Darla was Maid of honor.

They were legal now.

They went to India's apartment that day.

They used her see through nightie very well that day.

They went back for dinner with the Mitchells. India called off work.

She played hookie, but it wasn't everyday you got married.

Chris's knee was sore he had done way to much that day so they spent the night there as well.

The next day was Christmas Eve.

They were sitting around talking.

The doorbell rang.

Hermione escorted the guy in.

Chris was in a pretty good mood, when he saw the guy he angrily asked "What do you want?" 

The guy said "I came to talk to you sir, I want to apologize for your injury!

I also want to plead my case, I did not hurt you on purpose, I tripped on another players foot and I ran into you.

I would never do what I'm being accused of doing.

I have been on the receiving end of that cheap shot!

Please believe me Mr. Mitchell, I would never do that intentionally! There's talk of suspending me, until next season."

Chris asked "What happened to you? The cheap shot thing."

The guy blushed. "In high school I was like walking back to my side of the line.

A guy on the other team was mad at me for burning him.

He hit me in my lower back.

I went down and I had no feeling below my waist.

I hadn't even realized I had wet myself.

I was taken to the hospital.

A day or two later I got the feeling back in my legs.

But let's just say your not the only player in the NFL that wears diapers.

I'm incontinent.

Nerve damage to the nerve that tells my sphincter to shut.

It doesn't. I piss all the time."

Chris thought he took out a cell phone and he dialed a number.

"Coach Kincade, could you do me a favor please look at the footage from when I got injured, the Arial camera.

Just before Mr. Washington hits me he trips over a guys foot, it's there! Thank you Coach!"

He hangs up and dials another number.

"Hello Sarah this is Chris, how are you doing.

Listen I need to talk to the boss!

Yes it's very urgent!"

"Mr Davis, this is Chris Mitchell, doing better now.

Listen can you save a man's life!

Jeff Washington tripped before running into me.

It's been brought to my attention that the Arial shot shows it the best.

The NFL wants to crucify the guy, if you got any pull with Roger Goddell please stop this before it gets further!

Thank You!"

Chris hung up and said "taken care of sir, I would of hated myself if it was found out later that you were innocent and I held a grudge."

"Thank you for going to bat for me Mr. Mitchell."

"Please Chris, Mr. Mitchell is my dad."

Darla walked in she recognized the guy, she looked angry, she went to use her nails to scratch the guys face.

Chris grabbed her. "Darla it was an accident not on purpose.

He didn't mean to." 

Darla looked at Chris, "Are you sure it looked on purpose to me!"

"Yes" said Chris.

"Mr. Washington was on the receiving end of a cheap hit like it was thought he had.

Besides he's a brother under the padding!"

Darla looked confused for a second, then her eyes got wide.

"You wear diapers too?" He asked.

"Yeah me, said Darla, I'm like Chris I wet my bed still and have accidents in the day time all the time."

"I got hit playing high school ball, left me with nerve damage to the nerve that causes the bladder to close."

They sat and talked, they looked like old friends, after about thirty minutes Darla and Jeff were holding hands.

Chris pointed it out to India "half an hour ago she was ready to scratch his eyes out!

Now look at them!"

India reminded him "Thirty-five minutes ago you would of helped her!"

Betsy came in and she didn't look none to happy, then there was Darla holding the guys hand.

She was at least smart enough to know that something had happened!

Chris said "You know I told myself if I ever got hold of you I was going to tear you apart!

Actually you kind of did me a favor!

This is India.

We were going to wait until after the season ended to get married.

We were married yesterday, that wouldn't of happened if I hadn't of gotten hurt.

I guess I should say thank you."

 Jeff said "I still feel bad, really I do, I ruined your chances at the Rookie Of the Year!"

"We'll it just wasn't meant to be. My surgery is on the 27th, I might be returning then.

But you and I both know that gut feeling, I kind of know my season is over, just a feeling" said Chris.

"When mine happened after I got the feeling back in my legs, the doctors told me that I would probably stop wetting myself in a couple of days or weeks.

I somehow knew that they were just trying to make me feel better.

Hey since you two got married I guess that congratulations are in order!"

Darla said "I got to be the maid of honor!"

"Great!" Said Jeff!

"If I ever get married, Chris I would like to have you as my Best Man!"

Chris teased him back

"You got anyone in particular, your looking at?"

Jeff said "You know I just met this girl that I'm kind of nuts about, but I'm afraid it might not work out."

"Why is that" asked Darla?

"You see she is the opposition, she is the sister of a Linebacker!" he said 'Linebacker' like he was saying it was the worst thing in the world!

"What a coincidence, my little sister is dating a Receiver, not even a Defensive End or any thing like that a Tight End!

You know good guys like me don't let their sisters marry receivers, I would rather she marry, god forbid a punter!"

"Oh that's is terrible" said Jeff

"Punters are guys we just lend them the uniform" said Chris!

"But I can see your point, it's like those families That a Jewish girl marries a Catholic boy, both families oppose it!"

"Yep I just can't let my little sister marry an Offensive player" Chris said that with disdain like it was a swear word!

"Yeah I guess you're right! Said Jeff. 

It just won't work, I'll be ostracised as an offensive player if I lower my standards to marry a sister of a Defensive player."

Darla said to India "Chris and Ephraim used to play like this Ephraim was a Running back in high school!"

"So your brother was a Running back" said Jeff.

l guess I can marry a girl the sister of a Running back.

I just can't mention that one of her other brothers plays Defense! He must be dead to you!."

India just looked at Darla and said "Boys!"

As she shook her head from side to side.

[Drownedinp]

Chris hated to see India have to go to work on Christmas Eve!

He knew going in that she was a nurse and that was a job that was 24/7 365 hospitals never closed!

Chris's brother Ephraim was at work today as well he was a Juvenile Corrections Officer.

He was 24/7 365.

They couldn't send the kids home for Christmas and expect them to return on December 26th.

He had worked there for about the past year or so.

His mother was somewhat disappointed.

He had a good mind, she could see him as a stockbroker.

She never envisioned a Correctional Officer.

But he was happy.

Darla had Jeff. Chris told her "He is a good man.

He came into an environment that could of been very hostile yesterday pleaded his case and didn't know if he would of came out alive.

That took guts.

Jeff had em!" 

Darla was in love with Jeff that was visible to anyone watching them.

Chris had two and a half days before surgery on his knee.

He didn't want to admit it he was scared.

Not because he hated doctors or anything.

The fear of being told that he was through playing football until next season, or making it back in time for the playoffs depending on his injury.

He couldn't wait until India returned tonight.

She had promised him sex again.

He hated to admit it but he liked sex! India was the perfect partner.

The triplets Francis, Gary, and "The Mess".

His sister Hermione was known as "The Mess!" 

She defiantly marched to the sound of her own drummer, she wore old baggy sweats that used to be his.

She didn't know what a hairbrush or deodorant, tooth paste, soap were for.

Not only that but like several in her family not only did she wet her bed like most of them did.

But she was a daytime wetter as well.

But she took it to the extreme!

You could put her in a dry diaper and in five minutes she could make it leak, they joked since him and Ephraim were football stars, Darla was a Cheerleader, Francis was a heck of a cross country runner, Gary was good Tennis player!

Hermione was a champion diaper wetter!

She could beat any diaper out there that was made.

She only wore old grey baggy sweats that used to be his, often had wet spots in the crotch from her defeating the diaper that was only on her for ten minutes.

Most people were embarrassed about leaks showing on their clothes.

For 'The Mess' that was her gold medal proclaiming I won another one!

Hermione was his baby sister but... unfortunately the rest of them didn't understand her, they loved her she is family!

But nobody could get her, or understand her!

Chris was convinced if she ever cleaned herself up she would shame Darla and Francis as the ugly ones!

But she didn't care about her personal appearance one iota.

Nobody knew why she looked the way she did.

She didn't care.

She wasn't interested in boys or girls for that matter she was just Hermione!

 It was Christmas morning.

For India this was a treat.

Walking into the living room the presents took up half the room spreading out from under the tree.

Growing up it has been just her, her mom and dad.

It took like ten or fifteen minutes tops to open everything up then to Dennys for breakfast.

They were in hour two and about 3/4 of the way done.

Everybody got one present.

They opened it and depending who gave the gift, the receiver had to say something nice about that person.

Being new to the Mitchell family she wasn't immune.

Same as Jeff.

Everybody was seeing him as an adopted child like India had been at Thanksgiving.

After the gift giving was done! 

they moved to the kitchen and started cooking breakfast that India was sure could feed an army division, and then some.

Since Chris was incapacitated this year his share fell to her.

After that was over they went back into the living room.

Betsy started to talk.

"We're grateful that everyone is with us this year.

As you know last two years we were without Ephraim who was on his mission in England were glad to have him back home with us this year.

Not only that but our number had grown by one.

We welcome India who has made Chris a very happy man indeed.

We say Welcome!

We also Welcome Jeff, we can tell that Darla is almost as happy as Chris.

Darla, call it being your mother, or female intuition you two are going to get married.

Darla smiled, Jeff looked like he was about ready to panic. "We Welcome you two to the family!"

"As you may know or not know we are a very religious family.

We believe that the true meaning of Christmas is to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.

Every Christmas we open our gifts, eat a family breakfast that we all help prepare.

Then we have a family time like we are now.

Either Arthur or I read from the bible the story from one of the gospels the story of Jesus. "There was a decree sent out from Ceaser Augustus that every man should be taxed..."

As Betsy got done India had tears in her eyes, looking around she wasn't the only one.

Her cell phone rang it was her mother. She hit ignore.

Betsy saw this and saw the look of pain that was on India's face.

She took India aside and told her

"Jesus required us to forgive everyone.

Including pigheaded mother's!

I see the look of pain in your face when she calls.

Christmas is a time of miracles, looks like you two could use a miracle right now."

India thought and said "You're right!"

Betsy hugged her and said "call her from our bedroom, you'll have more privacy there!"

India went to Arthur and Betsy's bedroom and called her mom.

[Drownedinp]

India waited only two rings before her mother answered.

The first words were "India I'm sorry, please don't hang up on me!"

"Mom I'm not hanging up" said India.

"I'm so thankful you called. I'm so sorry that I hurt you.

India I've been thinking about our last call. I will keep my petty thoughts to myself about your boyfriend."

"Mom, he's my husband now."

"When? Caroline asked, That was India's mothers name.

"Day before yesterday, we were going to wait until after Chris got done playing football for the year.

But he got hurt about two weeks ago, his season might be done."

"I saw that hit that he took it was everywhere on TV. That guy looked like he did it on purpose!"

"Turns out it was an accident.

He is dating Chris's sister Darla now."

"No way?" said India's mom!

"Yep its true. He's here in Phoenix he came to apologize and one thing led to another and it's been two days but they look serious!"

"Strange world we live in" said Caroline.

"Can I ask you if their was a reason you called?" Asked Caroline.

"Mom it's Christmas, Betsy reminded me that it's Christmas the season of miracles! She told me I looked like I needed a Christmas miracle."

"Oh is that all I am is a miracle? She was trying to joke but realized, that it was derogatory to her.

She said Thank her for me will you?"

"Already have mom, she saw how upset I was about not being good with you."

"I have to apologize" said Caroline "but the reason I said those hurtful things is because..... is because... I'm dealing with problems of my own in the urinary problems.

My doctor tells me that I'm at that age, I wanted to kick his butt for him.

But due to having you, I'm getting incontinent."

"Sorry mom" said India.

"It's okay I wouldn't change that for anything. You're my daughter and I love you.

I'm so glad you're married to that guy he seems like a really nice guy, everyone I've talked to say that he seems very down to earth.

I don't know why I was such a B word. How is your problem going?"

"Still the same said India.

My primary doctor found nothing wrong.

My urologist has found nothing as yet, he is still working on it but I've kind of readied myself, because I don't think they will find a cause for my wetting my bed again."

"Well if you don't mind I'm not sending your rubber sheet, I unfortunately have had to put it on my bed, I'm using it!

I want to tell you I'm sorry. I thought way deep down you had control if you really wanted to.

I was at the store and felt the urge to pee, I didn't go.

Five minutes later I was wetting myself, I couldn't stop it.

I was awake and conscious.

I could stop.

It made me realize that when you wet your were asleep.

With me being the champion snorer!

I realized that you had no more control over that than I did my snoring, besides the past week or so I've awoke wet, just like you used to. I remember me getting on you about your bedwetting.

I remembered you told me you didn't know that you were wet until you awoke, I didn't believe you how could you wet like that and not know?

Now I do its like I go to sleep dry and wake up wet.

I've asked myself how do I not know I'm wetting like that?

Then I remembered you telling me that you didn't know!

I guess it took me to walk in your shoes for a while dear.

I understand how bad you hated waking up in your own piss!

So I have claimed your rubber sheet as mine now I need it."

"Mom, there are some very good adult diapers on the market.

I use Abriforms M-4's they work really well!"

"I don't feel old enough for adult diapers just yet.

Give me a day or two!

Just to let you know India I'm really proud of you, you're my daughter and I really do love you I just let my pigheadeness get the best of me sometime.

You landed yourself a bona-fide NFL Linebacker one of the best in the business!

Your cousin is green with Envy! Of course she was always under the impression she was better than everybody else.

I guess she is finding out that she wasn't all that, and a bag of chips.

You know she was getting married last month.

The guy didn't even show up for the wedding.

Decided he couldn't stand being around the bitch already, his words!"

"Sorry to hear that said India.

She really wasn't that bad. Almost but not quite" said India!

"I'm glad we were able to make up mom!"

"I am as well! said Caroline

I'm so glad you found a good man. Congratulations on getting married."

"Thank you mom" said India "I hope to see you soon."

She hung up.

India was glad she took Betsy's advice to call her mother.

She walked out smiling, Betsy saw her and raised her eyebrows.

"I take it, it was another Christmas Miricle?" Asked Betsy?

"One of the best!" Said India!

 It was the day after Christmas, Jeff was on his way back to Massachusetts he had practice tomorrow, and a game on Monday night.

With the Steelers.

Darla was looking miserable she was missing him already.

Chris was getting nervous about the surgery, he wasn't scared of the procedure, it was more what they were going to find.

India loved Chris and could see he was scared she knew Chris was more scared of what they would find than what was being done.

She was conflicted on one hand if it is more of a difficult surgery to preform, he will miss out the rest of the season.

If it goes well he will return to Oakland and she will be by herself again.

She was hoping for the latter for Chris's sake but the first for her sake.

She knew that it was selfish of her to want the first.

Both were quiet.

As they knew how the other felt.

Chris wanted to get back and play football.

He also didn't want to leave India.

She was his wife.

He loved her and knew if he went back to Oakland that yes they could talk on the phone everyday, but they would miss each other immensely.

They were just barely in each others lives, newlyweds.

If this was in the olden times they would still be on the Honeymoon.

The reason they called it that was because it used to last a month, a moon phase.

In that month your wife would have her period so you knew that she hadn't been with another man.

Hence the honeymoon.

You also had to stay away from her yourself until after her period.

Somehow that got thrown out the window.

Honeymoon came to become, well you just didn't talk about what happened on your honeymoon.

India also was back to her work at the hospital.

She started to tell one of her co-workers about getting married to Chris.

She became upset, seems she had a crush on Chris and India just crushed that crush!

She was also a celebrity of sorts now she was now Mrs. Christian Mitchell!

She knew it was only because of who her husband was.

Of course now there was paperwork to change her name.

She had to get a new drivers license, Social Security Card.

Things like that, she was no longer India Taylor she was now India Mitchell.

She never dreamed there was so much involved when you got married.

She loved Chris and wouldn't of changed it for the world!

[Drownedinp]

The next day at 0530 Chris was at the hospital he was being asked questions about "Heart problems?

"No!"

"Liver problems?"

"No!" 

"Kidney or bowel problems? 

He said "Yes".

"They asked him what that was?"  

He said "I still wet the bed."

The nurse looked at him and his size, she didn't believe him!

"Sir this isn't a joking matter were trying to find out if there are any problems."

Chris said "I'm not joking I still wet the bed.

I brought diapers for the surgery.

In my bag there."

"But your so big and well past the age of usually having an ailment like that.

"My whole family including my parents are bedwetters, other than I have one brother and one sister that don't.

In my family they are the oddballs!"

"Wow" she said, but there is that great big football player that still wets his bed." She saw the name on his paperwork! 

"Oh my god its you isn't it?"

Chris smiled "in the flesh!"

"The problem is we can't let you wear anything other than the gown we give you if you like we could catheterize you?"

"I guess that's what you will have to do.

When I was 14 and got my tonsils out I was diapered" said Chris.

"Well your groin is closer to your knee than your throat we are going to shave from about four inches below the knee to four inches above the knee.

Did you get hurt playing football?" She asked.

"Yes" said Chris "they thought it was on purpose, turns out it wasn't.

The guy that hurt me will probably be married to my sister.

He's a good friend now."

"Did you know him before you got hurt?" she asked.

"Other than I had seen him on film no I hadn't."

"So he hurts you, becomes your friend, and is going to marry your sister?

Wow in my family they would of hunted him down and at least beat the crap out of him."

"They almost did in my family until they found out it was an accident, the sister that he likes, tried to scratch his eyes out."

"What made her change her mind?"

"The fact that in high school he got the cheap hit that at first he was accused of doing to me.

It left him incontinent, my sister that he will probably marry is incontinent like he is.

They just hit it off!"

"Wow that is quite a story" she said!

The Anaesthesiologist came and gave Chris a shot of something, bang he was asleep.

They put a catheter in him and wheeled him to the OR forty-five minutes later the doctor came out and told the Mitchells who were all there that "There was more damage than what they expected.

His season was over."

India knew Chris wouldn't be happy.

She felt sorry for him.

Darla's cell phone rang it was Jeff she told him "His season is over, don't blame yourself it was an accident, he doesn't blame you!

I know you would Jeff but be the best player you are, do it for Chris okay!" They hung up.

"Jeff said he was really sorry, he said if he could he would trade places with Chris, he feels terrible."

India said to Darla.

"Darla, Chris doesn't blame Jeff in the least.

He told me he's a good man, a brave man!

He came into a home with guys that wanted to kill him including Chris and me, and you!

Chris told me it was like in the bible where Daniel went into the Lion's Den.

He had no fear what so ever!

That's a testament to the kind of guy Jeff is.

Chris was actually awed by that.

He said you can't do much better, because they don't make em much better."

She went in to where Chris was recovering, "Hello pretty lady", he was still kind of loopy from the drugs.

He started serenading her, the truth was he was way off key!

She kept trying to shush him but he was getting louder.

The nurse had to come in to quiet him down telling him "That they will have to re-drug him!" she winked at India.

He quieted down.

India grinned she had seen the equivalent of Chris drunk.

She also filmed him on her phone.

Blackmail pictures never hurt she thought.

A few moments later Chris fell back asleep twenty minutes later, he awoke and asked "How did it go?"

She said "unfortunately you won't be going back to Oakland anytime soon!"

She was expecting him to get mad, cry, instead he said "I thought so.

Just gives me more time to spend with the most beautiful woman in the world!"

He was awake this time he didn't fall asleep seems the meds were wearing off.

She told Chris "Jeff called and apologized again said if he could he would trade places with you!"

"Like I said he's a good man" said Chris.

The doctor came in and told him "What was done, and that the season is over.

If this had been earlier in the season but it will be six to ten weeks before your ready.

The season ends in five or six more weeks including the playoffs and SuperBowl.

Save me a ticket for next year!"

"Well Doc, I got married to this beautiful girl only four days ago. Gives me more time to spend with her!"

Chris noticed that his knee felt better.

Five days later he started his Physical Therapy.

He went to the place. He was given a Therapist named Kathy.

She was beautiful.

She had a smile that every time Chris saw it he melted.

He also knew that he knew her, he couldn't remember where!

He should be able to place a beautiful girl like this.

Today she was measuring his range of motion and trying to see how much she needed to work to get Chris back to where he needed to be.

She then started to work on his knee.

Every time he did what she asked he was rewarded with that beautiful smile.

Chris started feeling himself attracted to this beautiful blonde.

He had to keep reminding himself "That I'm married to a beautiful redhead!

She wasn't the same color of red as him and the the rest of the Mitchells who's hair was more orange than red."

It was frustrating him that he couldn't remember a beautiful blonde named Kathy.

He was laying on a table with ice on his knee, his session was almost done.

She came and asked him, "You don't remember me do you?"

He smiled and said "You know I know I know you, I've been here racking my brains trying to remember, I should of remembered a beautiful girl named Kathy.

But I just can't seem to place you, sorry!"

"Well I didn't always look like this, when you knew me I was a scrawny 12-year-old, uglier than a mud fence, I had braces on my teeth, I was annoying as hell, and I had a major crush on you!"

Chris started thinking about her using those qualities.

No it couldn't be! "Kathy Gray?", He asked, still kind of unsure if it was her?

"You remembered!" She said!

Kathy Gray was the sister of his best friend growing up Roger Gray.

"Wow" he said "you really changed! For the better" he said!

"When I knew you, your hair was scraggly.

You had braces on your teeth plus the headgear!

You were annoying.

You did have a crush on me."

"Still do! Said Kathy!

Out of my brothers friends you treated me the nicest, you had him include me in activities with you guys. Games, movies, the best times I remember growing up were the times with you and Roger."

"Remember the time I took your suitcase and ran to my bedroom, you were chasing me.

Well I had to throw a blanket over my bed you almost found out I still wet my bed.

I always thought you had dirty books in the suitcase, now I realized you had diapers in there until about four months ago when you were outed as a bedwetter, it dawned on me there were diapers in there, weren't there?"

Chris said "Yes there were."

"Just think we came so close finding out each others secret." Said Kathy 

"Well?" Said Chris "I kind of already knew about you."

"How?" asked Kathy.

"Roger told me!" Said Chris.

Kathy blushed a crimson red.

"But why, he was usually pretty good about keeping my secret, secret!"

Chris said "I know Roger is dead, but did you know that he liked wearing and wetting diapers?"

"No I didn't know that" said Kathy surprised!

"It's true, there were diapers for me in that suitcase, but also for Roger as well.

When he slept over at my house he was diapered, my mother thought he was just like me, a bedwetter, when I slept at your house I brought extra.

Your brother was a teen baby.

Believe it or not you were a goddess to him!"

"Me?" She asked shocked?

"Yes you did what he wanted to do, wet your bed naturally!

He wet on purpose those nights he spent with me.

He was jealous in that regard."

"All those years I thought he was being really supportive of me, he envied me."

"When he was killed in the military over in Afghanistan, I came to the funeral sat in the back, I left I was crying so hard.

I left nobody wanted to see a 6 foot 6, 305 pound guy crying like a baby."

"I saw you come and leave" she said, "I was crying with you.

I know you two were close, it broke my heart to see you like that Chris.

I almost came and got you and drug you up with the family.

When I finally got the courage to do so you had left already.

I still have a thing for you Chris, can I be bold and ask you out?"

Chris said "I would of loved to have said yes, but the truth is I got married about two weeks ago.

But if I had known you looked like this, Kathy your gorgeous! I would of been glad to say yes, or I would of begged you out."

"Just so you know, said Kathy you aren't the only one left still wetting your bed, I never stopped either, probably never will!

I might be beautiful now but no guy will ever want a bedwetter like me!"

"Kathy don't sell yourself short, I know plenty of guys that would love to date you. I think I will bring one with me next time I come.

By the way those braces worked, your smile would warm a cold day!"

She flashed that smile again when he told her that.

[Drownedinp]

The next session Chris had Ephraim drive him to his appointment.

Chris was going through his regimen and Ephraim was watching him and was staring at the blonde that was picking on his brother.

Her making him give her one or two more every time, he thought it was kind of funny watching this tiny blonde order his huge brother around.

Not only that but his brother had a hard time keeping his eyes in their sockets.

This girl was gorgeous.

Like Chris he felt that he knew her from somewhere but where?

All the cheerleaders from school were accounted for, she looked like she could of been one.

He couldn't place her either!

Ephraim wasn't shy he was going to ask her out.

Chris went to his car and Ephraim told him to give him a moment.

Ephraim didn't see the smile on Chris's face he was sure Ephraim couldn't resist her, blondes were always his kryptonite!

Chris waited in the car for his brother.

A few moments later Ephraim crawled into the drivers seat.

Wow said "Ephraim your therapist is hot!"

"Yeah but she wasn't always like that" said Chris.

"What do you mean, I know she looked familiar" said Ephraim.

"Remember my best friend Roger."

"Yeah he's the one that had that little sister that had that huge crush on you the ugly one!"

"She isn't as ugly now is she little brother?"

"You mean that's the ugly, annoying little sister asked Ephraim? 

That's where I know her from!

I have a date with her on Friday!"

"Just to let you know she is kind of like our family said Chris."

"How?" Asked Ephraim?

She is blonde and doesn't have this weird orange color of hair.

"She is more like mom, dad, me, Darla, Gary and Hermione, she could be a Mitchell!"

"Yes!" Said Ephriam if things work out she will be."

Chris came right out and said it. "She still wets her bed!"

"Yeah I know she told me thinking it would scare me off!

I told her with the family history my family has with bedwetting I wasn't scared off!

I did tell if she had twelve toes that might scare me!"

Kathy Gray grew up, her life was the proverbial Ugly Duckling story.

She had this blonde stringy hair, braces on her teeth complete with headgear, no boobs what so ever. She was a pirates dream, she had a sunken chest.

She wet her bed every night, she was skinny and nobody ever gave her two looks, they turned from her in revulsion!

This was her life through her Sophomore year in high school.

Her Junior year things began to change.

She began to get taller and her body started changing for the better, even her hair became more manageable.

She was still left with the braces and was still a bedwetter but her body was a wow now!

Guys that she had dreamed about were asking her out, she was somewhat of a Hottie!

Her senior year she was actually popular.

She was getting a reputation as easy but the truth was she was still a virgin.

The guys were talking about how they had conquered her mountain when she wouldn't even let them on her hills!

One of the girls that had known her when she was 12 found out she still wet her bed then, a couple of years later she was sure she still did. Her panties were more yellow in gym than they were white.

Her boyfriend was one of the biggest mountain climbers, or so he claimed.

One day she was going to prove it.

As Kathy was dressing for gym, another girl came and said that the teacher wanted to see her, now!

She went to lock her locker with her street clothes.

The one girl that said the teacher wants to see her, said hurry she sounds mad.

The other girl said you better go I'll watch your locker! She sounded friendly.

As Kathy was gone she was in her locker and sure enough, the gusset of her panties were a dingy yellow. She photographed them, and put it on line.  

The caption read  "The hottie still went potty in her sleep!" It spread like a forest fire!

Kathy was humiliated.

One good thing was the mountain climbers club all changed their tunes to admit they lied, they would never screw a bedwetter!

She stopped dating most of the guys that dated her were the ones that hadn't got the memo and most of those ended up like wrestling an octopus!

She was hurt.

She started telling guys up front that she still wet her bed.

That way they usually ran like whipped pups, with their tails between their legs.

If one didn't scare it usually ended in an octopus scenario.

She trusted Chris only because he was the last guy she still had a crush on, and like her was a bedwetter.

He had always treated her good.

She said yes to his brother Ephriam only because of Chris!

Friday night Ephriam picked her up, she was regretting saying yes now.

Most dates took her to like McDonalds, a few to Dennys, one to the Olive Garden.

Ephriam surprised her he took her to The Restauranta Della Fantana! She had only heard about this place she would never go here on her own.

She had only been taken there on this date.

She asked him "why?"

"A classy lady deserves a classy place."

He called her classy!

Then he took her to Build a Bear Workshop!

She made a nurse bear he made a cop one.

He was a correctional officer.

He then took her home.

He walked her to her door.

She was expecting "Octopus Wrestling!"

He gave her a peck on the cheek and then he said "Can I call on you again?"

She was so surprised that she wasn't fighting him off, she shook her head yes.

He could of asked her if she saw that two headed dragon over there? She would of nodded yes!

Once inside she hugged her bear and thought, wow he called me classy!

She touched her cheek where he had kissed her.

He was a classy guy!

Next date she was opening about a quarter of the way open to him he had been a gentleman the first date.

He took her to a movie, a comedy it was so funny she felt herself wet a little from laughing so hard.

Since it was a second date she was sure the octopus would rear it's ugly head this time!

Just like before he walked her to the door, he asked "can I ask you out again?" This time she said yes and knew what she agreed to.

He kissed her lips and he was gone.

That was it she thought?

She wanted a little more, maybe a little more kissing at least.

Next week he took her to a bar, but they didn't drink anything it was a Kareoke bar.

Ephriam was blown away by her singing!

"Where did you learn to sing like that?" He asked her? 

You blew me away!"

"I took choir all through high school" she said!

"I was a Cardinal Nightingale."

That was a group that they had a Glendale high for their elite choir members.

You can really sing well if you was one of them.

"Wow I thought I could sing," said Ephriam, "you put me to shame.

You're really talented!"

Nobody had ever complimented her before like this!

After the date as he walked her to her door.

This time she said before Ephriam could ask, "Yes we can have another date!"

She grabbed him and began kissing him.

Soon they were tongue wrestling. 

Ephriam said "ouch!" and drew away "what was that?"

Kathy Was embarrassed, Growing up she wasn't only a bedwetter, she had sucked her thumb.

By the time she hit 12 her teeth were so misaligned that the braces were needed to straighten her teeth.

She had sucked her thumb forever.

Her thumb belonged in her mouth.

When she got her braces, within a few days she had loosened all the work the orthodontist had done.

In order to save his work he put a little prong behind her upper teeth it poked her thumb when she would suck causing pain.

After six years in braces she still tried to sucked her thumb.

The Orthodontist put that prong back in her mouth so she still wouldn't suck her thumb.

At 22 she still caught herself sticking her thumb in her mouth.

She thinks that she was more embarrassed about that than her bedwetting!

Ephraim asked? "Are you a thumb sucker?"

She blushed and nodded yes.

"I think that is so hot! I just wished you had warned me about your prong."

"How did you know it was a prong?" Asked Kathy? 

"Well, when I was 6 I had one just like it, I'm a thumb sucker as well."

She smiled that beautiful smile at him, "I think that is so hot!" She said as they continued where they had left off!

By the next date Kathy was wanting even more she was no longer just happy kissing.

She had made a deal to herself, it had came after her mother had told her that it didn't matter how cute you got, if your still piss in your bed like a 2-year-old, no boy or man will ever want to have sex with you.

She told her they will all think your ugly because you pee your bed! They will find this repulsive and a nasty habit!

She told herself that she would never be intimate with a boy because

she will always be ugly to them!

Then she met Ephraim, he has been a gentlemen thus far, he finds her bedwetting and her thumb sucking hot!

She has decided that if she lived up to that promise she will die an old bedwetting virgin.

Besides she has never felt like this about another man ever! He makes her happy!

Nobody had ever made her feel this way.

Her brother Roger was her biggest defender.

He even went to bat for her against her mom.

If mom got on her tirade about her wet beds or her sucking her thumb.

She tended to get pretty verbally abusive about it.

Roger was right there telling mom to take a chill pill or to leave her alone.

She loved him for that!

Chris was close like her brother he always suggested that if they were going somewhere they took Kathy, his other friends told her in no uncertain terms told her to get lost, piss off, or even fuck off!

They didn't like a girl as ugly as she was hanging around!

Now if she looked like she had her senior year of high school they would of been telling Roger to get lost.

She smiled at that.

Then her brother and Chris when they graduated high school.

Chris got his scholarship, her brother never got one Chris went to ASU.

brother US Army.

He went airborne ranger.

They sent him to Afghanistan.

His convoy was hit by a mortar.

His HumVee was demolished.

Out of six guys in it two lived but they lost limbs.

She remembered the man that came to their house in full military uniform.

He said 'We regret to inform you off the death your son Corporal Roger Grey United States Army!'

Her mother died that day, she was still alive but it killed her inside just the same, she stopped living.

A few weeks later as Kathy started going to college, her mom had orange juice prepared.

She told Kathy the wrong child died! instead of the worthless bedwetter!

Kathy left pissed off that her mom would even say something that!

When she got home she found her mom and dad dead, the orange juice she refused because her mother had pissed her off was laced with poison.

The third glass was still at her chair.

Mom killed her dad and herself.

The note said that her family was dead at her hand, she killed her husband and her worthless bedwetting daughter, and herself.

She could no longer live without her son Roger.

Dad was a victim, she almost was.

Since it was murder the insurance they had refused to honor the claim and she sold the house to pay for the funeral.

She had enough left over to buy her small house, a car and get her through school.

After the house was sold about two years later it burned down the occupants all died.

The funny thing was they figured the smoke detectors didn't work.

The owner and his friend had changed the batteries in them the weekend before.

They worked fine then!

Her mother?

She really is convinced it was she couldn't see someone else living in her home!

The house on the lot now looks different.

It's a different style than the original.

She was making plans to get Ephraim Mitchell to do something he wasn't used to.

[Drownedinp]

Kathy went to the Mitchell's her plan was to get Ephriam to move in with her.

Chris was there with his wife India, at first she hated her just because she was the one married to her crush Chris.

Soon though she saw what Chris saw in her she was just the nicest person.

She grew on Kathy.

As did the rest of Ephriam's family.

His mom was the mother she had been looking for in her own mom but never found.

She was loveable but could be stern very easy, the boys listened and obeyed her.

She knew It was love, the boys were twice her size, but loved her enough to listen to her.

They were talking about what was said in church that morning. It was something about the law of chastity.

She wasn't familiar with most religious things she never went to church.

Her family just wasn't into going to church.

Roger had gone with Chris a few times.

When she found out what it was she knew Ephraim was never going to move in with her.

She had never knew Chris was a virgin still, well until he got married, India told a story about her trying to get Chris to have sex with her before they were married and how bad it backfired on her.

She was glad now that Betsy had taught her kids morals.

Her kids included Ephraim.

She began to cry she wanted Ephraim bad.

Betsy took Kathy to her room as she was still crying.

"What's the matter dear?" she asked.

Kathy began to tell her about her plan to get Ephraim to move in with her, she wanted him for sex.

Betsy asked her if she has been sexually active?

She told her about her mom and the things that she had said to her. That just made her cry more.

She told her about her promise that she had made to herself.

Betsy told her "your mother was wrong!

The kids father Arthur is where her boys get their looks from.

Also that crazy orange hair, did you know that Arthur still wets his bed?"

No she didn't know.

Did you know I still do to?"

"No" she said "I knew Chris still did he's the only one that I know about."

"He's the tip of the iceberg, his wife India does.

His sister Darla, his brother Gary, his sister Hermione, they all wet their bed.

The man that Darla will probably marry is incontinent, due to an injury.

Ephraim and his sister Francis are the only two that don't.

I understand that you still do as well, from what you told me, and Chris had told me a time or two about Roger and your bedwetting."

She remembered Chris told her about her thinking Roger was a bedwetter like Chris.

She wasn't going to rat her dead brother out!

He protected her several times.

"Yeah" said Kathy.

"But dear, I'm sure Ephraim loves just the way you are, we love you because your making Ephraim so happy!

I know he thinks he is the luckiest man in the world to have a beautiful woman like you that loves him.

He has expressed his problems with your beauty."

"What problems are those?" asked Kathy?

"He has told me that he has had a difficult time keeping his hands off you, he senses that you have had a hard time with men in the past.

He feels you deserve better."

Kathy let sobs out, "He knew about the other men I dated, I did have to wrestle them off like Octopuses.

Him not being one had renewed my faith in men."

"Yet you want to have him move in to become more like them?"

Kathy had never thought along those lines before.

"Thank you Betsy I never even thought about that before, Ephraim has always been a gentleman to me.

I never even thought he might have a problem keeping his hands off me!

I just wanted him  to be the octopus I hate in other men.

You know I hope that Ephraim and I get married, then you'll be my mother in law.

Your what I always wished my own mother was like!"

"Thank you dear" said Betsy, "I kind of hope you two do get married."

Kathy said "Do you think Ephraim can love a bedwetting wife like me?"

"Of course" said Betsy "you see with Ephriam growing up around with so many family members wetting their beds, Ephraim doesn't see it as a problem, it would be like if instead of bedwetting say we had diabetes.

He wouldn't see it as a problem it could be a family affliction that he had dealt with for years.

It's nothing new."

When Ephraim arrived home from work he found his beautiful girlfriend at his house, she looked like she had been crying, her eyes were puffy, her face red.

He took her aside and asked "Did I do something to offend you?"

"No" said Kathy. "Do you feel I'm moving to fast? he asked.

"No! No" said Kathy "it was me, I wanted more and I wanted it from you!

I found out what kind of family you come from."

"They are allright, a bit weird but they mean well!"

"No said Kathy, they are great, I wanted sex and I found out you guys don't do that until your married, it wasn't you it's me, I'm the weird one!"

"Kathy yes it's true we believe that sex should be between a married couple.

But you need to understand.

We practice that!

If I really love you I will wait for you you are worth that!"

"I want to wait for you now.

Your mom explained it to me, it's just for years, my mom told me I would never find a decent guy, as long as I wet my bed still, she told me you would find me disgusting, dirty, nasty, repulsive.

That it didn't matter what I looked like I would always be ugly!"

"Kathy, said Ephraim I think your beautiful, your perfect!"

"Perfect huh said Kathy!

I can't go to bed without wetting it!

"That's what I find so perfect about you.

You are a Mitchell already, you just don't realize it.

Kathy my family is a family of bedwetters, pants wetters, incontinents.

If I brought a woman here that hadn't at least been a bedwetter when she was younger and understood my family.

Yes I don't wet my bed. But out of eight of us six do.

Do you think that for one second a non-wetter would understand us?

They would find us dirty, disgusting and repulsive!

Knowing that there is a good chance that our kids are going to be bedwetters as well!

Don't you think, I have thought about this?

I've met lots of girls dated a few even but they could never fit into a family like mine.

Being a bedwetter is a prerequisite in my book!

I love you Kathy, to me you are perfect!

Your also very beautiful to me!

You are defiantly worth waiting for!

Like I told you before if you got six toes on each foot I'm out a here though, I just can't abide that!

Of course I know you don't I counted when we went bowling and you changed to those bowling shoes!"

She looked and Ephraim was giving her a smile, he kissed her on the lips.

She gave him her beautiful smile back.

[Drownedinp]

The Raiders lost to Pittsburg, in the Wild Card round they played New England and Jeff the next week.

Where New England beat the Steelers.

They faced Denver for the AFC Championship. New England won 37-36. They were off to the SuperBowl.

Seattle was also going for the NFC.

Chris was named to the Pro Bowl but he wasn't going to make it this year.

Besides he was a newlywed he had a wife to keep him company now.

The night before the SuperBowl he found out he took second as rookie of the year and third in the player of the year.

Most of the announcers agreed, if he hadn't gotten hurt he would of been first in both.

His injury caused the stock to drop on him.

Kathy told him he was ahead in his rehab of his knee.

Not a lot like a little over a week but he was still ahead.

Kathy asked him questions of what Ephraim was like growing up he was more than happy to dish the dirt on his little brother!

He even told her about pissy Ephraim!

She laughed he wet his bed?

Just that night Chris said.

Francis had a couple of accidents as well, I take it every kid that was dry had one or two accidents growing up.

Just not nightly like us, he added.

Kathy was going to fit in well in their family, she felt like one already! As far as he knew Ephraim hadn't even proposed yet.

He had better get on the ball before somebody beat him to the point!

He told her that once and she informed him that she had never dated anyone like Ephraim before, he was always a gentleman.

He had never tried to have sex with her before, you don't know what a problem that has been with others I've dated.

I've had to kick a few guy in their..., man parts just to make it this far.

If a guy buys you dinner he thinks you owe him sex!

She laughed. WRONG ANSWER!

Chris joked "You mean you don't?"

She playfully slapped his shoulder.

"I see I got the real gentlemen in the family!"

"Nah you just got one of three, if our mom ever saw us not being gentleman, I'm sure she would... kill us!"

"Yeah I think your right, Chris, she can be scary" Kathy said!

Two weeks later the Tuesday after the Seahawks defeated the Patriots in the SuperBowl.

Jeff showed up in Phoenix.

Darla was kissing and kissing him.

Betsy shooed the other kids out of the room so the two could have some privacy.

After they were alone Jeff got down on one knee and proposed.

Darla was more than to happy to accept the ring and said yes.

She said "Let's see how long it takes my family to notice my new ring!"

That day nobody said anything.

At dinner when somebody would ask for anything to be passed to them she did her darn darnedest  to use her left hand.

She was getting upset that nobody had noticed her ring!

She would huff when nobody noticed.

At the end of dinner, Betsy calmly asked her

"When is the big date?"

Everybody began to laugh.

Darla said "How come nobody said anything?"

"Mom told us not to" said Gary, "She said you would tell us when you were ready!"

Francis said "it was comical the way you was waving that ring around."

Arthur said "And the way you huffed when nobody noticed! I was about ready to bust a gut not laughing!"

"Yeah it was kind of funny" Hermione added, "I think I wet myself holding the laughter in."

Ephraim saved his twin, "Hermione how could you tell if you wet yourself, you never had before!"

Everybody laughed at that, knowing Hermione, even Hermione was laughing!

Jeff and Darla were planning on a April wedding, unfortunately they realized that the date was a Sunday.

They decided on the 12th, it was a Friday.

That gave them the whole weekend to for the honeymoon, that was going to be there around three weeks in England!

They were going to be seeing London, and touring pretty quickly just England.

Since Ephraim had lived there he was showing them where they was going where he served in northern England.

The date got closer and closer. Betsy saw that Jeff had very few people he had invited.

She asked him about his parents.

He told her how him and his parents had hardly even spoken since he was injured.

"His dad and mother dealt with it like they always dealt with anything they didn't like, they pickled their livers!

They decided that after I got out of the hospital that me wearing diapers was only because I was weak no injury.

Just because I chose to wet myself.

They decided to beat it out of me.

My dad got his belt like normal and proceeded to whip me.

Now if I done anything wrong,

I felt like I deserved a whipping!

This time I felt it was bull crap.

I hadn't done anything wrong! I got mad and it was like I was a spectator watching me as I beat my dad up it was like I was watching me, my pants and diaper around my ankles.

My mother hit me in the head with an empty bottle of booze.

I punched her, I don't even remember doing it.

She called the police, they got there, they knew my family pretty well my dad when he got really drunk he used to beat the hell out of my mom.

They were surprised to see my dad on the ground bleeding for a change, and mom up yelling at them.

I was sitting in a corner my pants and diapers still around my ankles crouched down wetting on the floor, I was in shock.

I didn't believe I had that kind of rage in me!

It scared me, that's why I was in shock.

They didn't need a detective to see what happened I had welts on my butt and legs.

Dad hadn't dared move after me pummelling on him, I had given mom a bloody nose after she cut my head with the bottle I needed stitches. I didn't even feel the cut.

One cop got down on a knee, he began talking to me.

He asked me "What happened? 

I was getting so I was coming down from whatever shock I was experiencing.

I finally was able to talk to him and, he asked me about my diapers?

"I told him about my injury!" 

He told me "He had seen it happen he told me the other guy had been banned from playing.

He asked me about my injury if it was nerve damage?

He talked like he knew what happened. 

He gave me a hand and he helped me up from that corner I was in.

He got my last dry diaper I had from the hospital and he put it on me. My parents were refusing to buy me more.

He took me outside and he told me a story about an officer that got hit directing traffic one dark rainy night.

They had a guy that was what they called rubber necking, looking to see what was going on, instead of his driving.

They hit the cop in the back did some damage to the guys back.

The guy began wetting himself like you, also like you he thought his life was over, he began to wet himself. It was embarrassing to say the least."

"I blushed as it was embarrassing to me said Jeff, I understood what that cop was going through!"

"The cop decided he could quit, take a medical retirement at 27-years-old.

Or he could live and do his job.

I chose the latter said the cop, yes it was me I'm like you I wear diapers.

I was surprised at the support I got from my fellow officers, they cover for me when I need a change.

I joined a support group for people like me that either wear out of injury or many were bedwetters growing up.

I met a beautiful young lady, well she was 25.

She had wet her bed her whole life.

We started dating we got married, we have two kids and one on the way.

Life isn't over for us because we can't control out bladders son!

From what I've seen your pretty dang good on the field.

I think you could be better!"

"Betsy this was the first time anybody had told me I was good at anything!"

He also told me "Tell the team the truth I think they will have your back!

You would be surprised!" 

"I was! First game back I was the only one in diapers, by the end of the season everybody including my coach wore diapers during our games.

That was my junior year.

I was removed from my parents frankly they were scared of me.

I was put in the foster care system, the family that got me was none other than that cop and his wife.

He drilled me, and drilled me on football next season I started breaking records most of the records I broke were his records that he broke when he was at my high school, I broke all but one and that was yards for a single season and I got within five yards of his record."

"The next thing I knew I was offered a scholarship to the University of Nevada Las Vegas.

Same school that my foster dad had gone to."

Next thing I knew I went in the fourth round to the Patriots.

Then I accidentally  run into one of the meanest, biggest, baddest, inside linebackers in the business!

Next thing I know I'm dating his sister, now were getting married."

"It's been a strange year for me!"

"Us as well!" said Betsy.

"Then if you don't want to invite your parents how about your foster parents?" said Betsy?

"That would be terrific!" said Jeff!

Kathy and Ephraim went out on a date, they didn't do much.

After dinner they sat on the couch and kissed and kissed.

If one got hands going where they shouldn't.

The other reminded that that wasn't allowed until after they were married.

Kathy said "Ephraim we need to talk!"

Ephraim's love life began to pass before his eyes, he was trying to think of any transgression, big or little he could possibly be guilty of, nothing was coming to his mind which spooked him even more.

"She said "I need to get a few things off my chest, my childhood wasn't the best.

My mother was kind of abusive towards me in regards to my bedwetting, and thumb sucking!"

Kathy explained "That she knew that his family dealt with their bedwetting and pants wetting by wearing diapers.

I on the other had chose to wet the bed itself, other than a rubber sheet.

When I was 6 or 7 my mom forced me into diapers, she punished me with them they were because I was dirty, nasty, because I was a bedwetter."

"She told me that since I was dirty and nasty because I wet my bed still as a senior in high school, it didn't matter how beautiful I was becoming, I would still be ugly to men when they found out I still pissed my bed!

I got depressed, I vowed I would never let another boy, or man have sex with me until I stopped bedwetting.

That's the only reason I'm still a virgin! I'm not religious like your family. So the reason I'm a virgin isn't as noble as your reason to still be a virgin."

 "Kathy does that mean if we get married we won't have sex?"

Kathy looked at Ephraim funny, "What do you mean?" she asked.

"Well as far as I know you still wet your bed right? So until you stop..."

"No she said realizing what he was saying I decided that, if I did that I would die a old bedwetting virgin.

I don't want that.

But you make me feel special!

You feel I'm worth waiting for, I've never gotten that from anybody else.

You make me feel special!"

Chris was allowed to start running, not great distances but him and Jeff started together.

They ran about half a mile the first day and started building up from there they enjoyed each others company it didn't matter that they were on opposing teams, one was Offense and one was Defense they were quickly becoming great friends.

Jeff asked "You know Chris I'm marrying your sister in about three weeks I want you to be my best man!

Your my best friend, I have one guy on the Patriots that I'm close to other than that they let me play with them that's about it.

Darla wants India as her Maid of Honor.

Your brothers are going to be ushers, and your sisters Bridesmaids. Your my best friend I got right now."

"Jeff I would be honored to be your best man."

Betsy was in the mother of the bride mode, she was arranging everything.

They had their church, scheduled and their Bishop was going to marry them they had the dinner and dresses including mothers dress.

Tuxes, everything was going to plan except the bride.

If you asked any of her siblings they would swear she is trying to audition for the show "Bridezilla!"

That was until about a week before the wedding Betsy read her the riot act.

Since it was going to be a lot of standing all participants were going to have diapers on that night.

Including one usher, and one bridesmaid that usually aren't diapered.

For Hermione they had several extra and actually got her cleaned up for the wedding her hair was done up professionally for the first time in her life.

Chris was correct, under the mess, when she was clean, Hermione put her sisters to shame, even he couldn't believe how beautiful she was.

He also knew that it wouldn't last, after the wedding she would become the mess again!

Chris hadn't told India he had a surprise for her.

In North Phoenix he was having a home built, off the Carefree Highway.

He often wondered if Gordon Lightfoot hadn't sang about that road in the 70's he had a hit called Carefree Highway.

It was on the road to the town of Carefree.

It wasn't no mansion but it was about 4200 square feet on two floors. 

The houses were really in a subdivision.

They were cookie cutter houses.

They had three colors for the outside an ugly brown like chocolate, an olive green and a grey.

He personally was hoping that his house would be grey, there was also decrative rock on the arch way to the front door.

He was watching them pour the foundation to his home.

He had used part of his bonus to pay for it.

India would be staying here in Phoenix while he was in Oakland.

He also wanted to have a place to call his own when he was home during the off season.

He got daydreaming about life a few years in the future.

The place had a huge backyard they had put a pool in, and a barbecue pit.

They had families over for pool parties and barbecues.

He was in his daydream when a big Semi blew it's air horn at him.

He needed to move his car to deliver a load of lumber for his neighbors home.

He got in and drove home.

He was going to wait before it was completed before he brought India here and surprised her!

Ephraim had made a decision he had bought a ring and was going to pop the question of Kathy.

It was going to be a while before they get married like November or December still ten or eleven months away.

But he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her.

It was time for Darla and Jeff to get married. 

The day had arrived.

Everybody was diapered and was ready.

For Hermione they brought like a dozen extra diapers, for Chris, India, Ephraim, Francis it was kind of weird to be diapered while awake,

for Ephraim and Francis it was unusual to be diapered at all.

The I do's were done and they were married.

At the reception, Darla danced with each of her brothers before being handed over to her dad for his last dance as his daughter.

After that dance she was given to Jeff for his first dance with his wife.

All the boys got together to catch the garter it was caught by Ephraim!

The bouquet was caught by Kathy.

After she did, Ephraim said it must be fate and he proposed to Kathy, right there.

Kathy told him "As bad as I want you, I would be a fool to say no!"

While this was going on Jeff and Darla snuck out.

They were at their motel before anybody figured out they were gone.

Ephraim and Kathy were the on deck couple, that was several months in the future.

One of Jeff's teammates started hitting on Kathy and was telling her how much money he had and how famous he was, Kathy told him no way she had her man, he might not be famous, he might only be a Corrections Officer, but he was a gentlemen, and she would stick with Ephraim, she was through looking!

Hermione said she liked the way she looked, all dressed up and said she wouldn't mind doing this more often.

Betsy and Arthur looked at each other shocked.

This was the first time Hermione even shown an interest in being a regular girl. 

[Drownedinp]

Chris and Jeff were running a lot now.

Every day they had a following, behind them there was a group of about seven to a dozen that followed them.

Chris asked "You ever feel like we're a scene from Forrest Gump?"

One day they found out how competitive they could be.

They started running and soon the speed increased, they got faster and faster, each trying to beat the other.

It was an all out sprint Jeff was quicker but Chris covered more ground per stride, it was pretty much even.

The poor people following them soon were lost in the dust.

They called it a tie after both got pains in their sides.

Both tried to ignore it until it got to painful for both of them.

Then when they stared both burst out laughing which didn't really help the pain in their sides.

Chris said the obvious "How far are we away from home?"

"two miles, why?" said Jeff.

"Because we ran in the opposite direction of home!"

They sat on the curb and waited for the stitch in their sides to stop hurting before going back towards home at a slow jog.

About 1/4 of the way back they caught up with the four that had continued to run after them most had given up.

This time instead of letting them hang back about twenty yards behind them they ran with them and talked with them.

They made it back home.

They agreed if the competition got them again they agreed to run towards home.

They both grabbed a shower.

Their wives weren't home they went out for lunch sitting at the table both started stiffening up.

Their legs hurt both limped out of the restaurant after lunch.

They both secretly decided that if they try running like that to make it a shorter distance.

Both felt like the first day of hard practice.

They got home and talked shop about players that they really respected from around the league.

Some were friends some were foes.

They also talked about guys that they saw were getting close to being obsolete, unfortunately, Jeff had to mention his mentor that had shown him the ropes that he really admired.

He said he thinks this will be his last season.

Chris even agreed that he was glad he didn't have to face him in his heyday.

"He had always been stable year after year, he wasn't the most flashiest, but year after year you could depend on him to make plays."

Chris said "There is this one guy coming up he is getting good.

I hate facing him."

"Who is that?" asked Jeff.

"His name is Jeff Washington plays for the Patriots, ever heard of him?"

"Once or twice said Jeff.

There is this other guy, he added that has a nose for the ball.

Where it is he is also, his name is Chris Mitchell.

He is going to be good. To bad he plays for the Raiders.

They got better until he got hurt in a freak accident.

He would of been Rookie of the year if he hadn't of been hurt!

The weird part is the guy that hurt him on accident, married his younger sister.

Beautiful woman! They are brother in laws now! That and best friends."

Chris smiled "Thanks he said I'm glad I wasn't the only one who felt like that."

Chris drove North to check on his home while India was at work.

His new home was almost done.

They were getting ready to paint it and it was the gray.

He felt somewhat a moral victory.

The guys that were building the houses.

They came over and one asked "Aren't you Chris Mitchell?"

"Yes I am" said Chris.

"Why are you looking at this house" asked one guy?

"Well it's going to be my home."

"Yours," asked another guy, "you mean I helped build a famous persons home?"

"Well I'm only semi-famous said Chris I not famous yet."

"You're going to live here?"

"In the off season yeah, but my wife is going to be living here year round."

"Cool" said another guy.

They asked for autographs.

One guy asked "What ever happened to that jerk that hurt you?"

"Well he married my sister and is now my best friend," said Chris.

The guy looked shocked, "But didn't he hurt you on purpose?"

"No it turned out to be an accident."

"Isn't that like consorting with the enemy, he is a Patriot."

Chris said "well we all can't be Raiders." They laughed.

India while at work was feeling ill.

She felt like throwing up.

It passed, but returned a few minutes later.

"She thought, there is no flu going around that I know of, what the heck is wrong... with.... me. She thought no I can't be pregnant, can I?"

She knew that it was true.

Her body was telling her yes, so was her heart,  she knew she was pregnant.

"I guess I need to get the stick, or she thought."

She went to one of the doctors that she works with, one she likes.

He took blood and they waited for what seemed like hours.

She was almost ready to get done with her shift.

The doctor came and said "I got good news and bad news."

India said "Okay what's the bad news?"

"You killed the rabbit, the good news is you are indeed pregnant!"

It just confirmed what she knew already.

She was thinking about! 

"How do I tell Chris? Will he be happy? 

Will he be mad?

It's not like we planned it, but we didn't do anything to prevent it either!

The worst part is he will be in Oakland playing football when the baby is born.

Will they let him come home?

She didn't know anything.

She was scared, to say the least!

She was trying to figure out how to tell Chris.

He said come on I have a surprise for you.

He loaded her in the car and began driving North.

They passed where Ephraim worked.

She thought that's where they were going.

They drove on further about thee miles maybe four miles past Ephraim's work place.

He pulled in front of a house.

That looked like it was still under construction.

"Who lives here?" asked India

"Nobody yet" said Chris.

India I've been having this house built so you have a real place to live while I'm in Oakland playing football."

The same guys were there that had been there that morning.

"Is this the Mrs., Mr. Mitchell?"

"Yes it is."

"Would you like a tour of your home ma'am, just be careful the paint is still wet!"

They took them in and it was beautiful.

India said "Okay which room is going to be the baby's?"

"Any room you want to..... put, no said Chris your pregnant?"

Chris picked her up and hugged her and kissed her, the Boa Constrictor had returned.

"Chris please" she said, "the baby!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry" said Chris "But I'm really happy I'm going to be a daddy!

Your going to be a mommy!"

Then the realization hit him, "I'm going to be a daddy?"

India saw fear in Chris's eyes for the first time.

Chris wasn't saying much on the ride home.

India asked "Are you mad at me for getting pregnant?"

"No Chris said as quickly as he could, I'm happy, I'm just scared, these are pretty scary times, with everything happening in the world, I'm just scared to bring a soul into this world.

That and.."

"And what?" Asked India thinking she had done something wrong.

With me and you..."

"Yes what me and you?" she asked.

"With us bedwetting, will our kid have a chance?"

"Oh, she got it the Mitchell family curse!

Your mom told me that when she was pregnant with you, your dad was just as scared.

She told him that if they do wet the bed, will they love them any less?"

"No" said Chris "we won't!" "And your mom said and if they don't wet will we still love them?"

"Of course" said Chris.

"Congratulations" said India "you just gave the same answers that your dad gave!"

"Really?" he said.

"Yes" said India, "she also told them that those that don't we will teach them to be more tolerant of those of us that do!"

"Wow said Chris I see it now, I am really, I guess I was scared about the bedwetting thing."

"You don't think I haven't been almost wetting myself in the day time thinking about those same things you just said?" asked India.

"I'm going to be mom to this little one as well!"

"Have you told anyone else besides me" asked Chris?

"Yeah you were the second one to know" "who was the first?" asked Chris.

"Me" said India.

"I guess you was the third or fourth there was the tech that did the test then Doctor Rand, then me then you!"

"Only the last two count" said Chris with a smile! 

"He joked I'm really jealous of you knowing before me!"

"If you want to know I guess I knew first, started getting sick in the morning.

That was the first clue!"

[Drownedinp]

Jeff was outed as incontinent, like Chris he was embarrassed.

The NFL asked them to do a public service about bedwetting, and incontinence.

They were put in touch with a writer and a producer.

They made plans for the announcement.

They realized that most of their family could participate, they were also going to need lots of extras.

They sent out announcements to lots of Urologists in the mountain West around Arizona. California, Utah, New Mexico, Nevada, Colorado. For actors.

India invited her mother out to participate and just to see her and have her there for support when she has the baby.

Chris would be back in Oakland playing football when she was due the first of October.

Carolina Taylor was looking forward to being in Phoenix, she was also scared as it was supposed to be still hot then. 

She joked and asked if she needed to being her rubber sheet?

India said you mean my old rubber sheet?

Was yours now mine said Caroline.

Possession is 9/10ths if the law!

They got moved into their house, they got new furniture, for their new home.

Chris bought the biggest TV he could find, he told India that when he was gone that he would be almost life size so she wouldn't miss him as much!

Caroline arrived, the community service announcement was about two weeks away.

Caroline was impressed with Betsy.

Where Caroline raised one daughter that was a bedwetter, Betsy had raised four children that wet the bed, she hadn't pulled her hair out in the process!

She was impressed with Betsy, the way her son's and daughters were bigger than her but they respected her listened to her, she still corrected them when needed!

India was just starting to show that she was pregnant she was in her second trimester, her tummy was starting to get bigger, she had to wear maternity scrubs at work. Standing around all day played havoc with her back.

Chris would rub her feet and massage her back, he tried to do the cooking and cleaning.

Caroline decided that she could do a better job at cleaning, Chris was a good cook.

She cleaned he cooked.

Caroline asked him "where he learned to cook?"

He told her "His mom Betsy taught the boys to cook.

When we get to be 19-years-old most males from our church serve missions. At 19 one of my brothers and I were still bedwetting,

we had one that wasn't he went, he got back just about a year ago or so he went to England.

He's the only one that has gone.

He is engaged to the sister of my best friend growing up.

She used to be skinny and had braces. Ugly as a mud fence, used to have a big crush on me."

India said "I didn't know Kathy used to look like that, and had a huge crush on you."

"Well you know! Said Chris!

"Mom Chris was one of Oakland's most handsome men!"

"Really you got one of them?

That's something else I can rub in your cousins face!"

Darla and Jeff announced that they were expecting and she was about three or four months behind Chris and India.

Darla decided that she would be moving to Massachusetts with Jeff in the fall.

So theirs would be born there.

Ephraim and Kathy were planning their wedding. They were shooting for November just before Thanksgiving, or December just like Chris and India just before Christmas.

That depended on a few factors like availability of leave for Ephraim, he was low man on the seniority list towards the bottom he wasn't the lowest but he was no where near the top either.

If you and another put a note in for vacation, they went by who put it in first.

If it was a tie the one with the most seniority got the choice, he was at the top of the bottom.

He had been there almost a year.

Turnover was terrible.

He was already in a better position than about a quarter of his officers on his shift.

The reality was if you made it over five years you usually made it the twenty-five years until retirement if you did quit after five years the odds were greater that you would make a return to the job.

Francis was told that she couldn't be in the announcement her and Ephraim weren't bedwetters so they were going to help out as stage hands.

Gary and Hermione were going to be in the announcement.

Arthur, Betsy, Chris Darla, Gary, Hermione, India, Jeff, Kathy and Caroline were going to be in it as they have problems with incontinence or bedwetting.

The day of the shoot Arthur, Betsy, Caroline, Chris, Darla, Gary, Hermione, India, Jeff, and Kathy were all in the filming.

Ephraim and Francis weren't filmed as they don't wet their bed or self.

They got to be stage hands, wranglers if you will, to get everybody where they needed to be.

They had over 125 people from Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah that had problems with their bladders.

Francis was sitting as she had worked hard, a guy came up and asked "Are you a bedwetter or incontinent?"

"I'm neither" she said "I'm just related to the two stars Chris and Jeff."

"How are you related" he asked.

"Chris is my older brother, Jeff is married to my oldest sister."

"Really that mountain is your brother?

Me and my sister were in the filming, I'm a bedwetter, so is she but she has day time accidents as well, not incontinent."

"I know what you mean several of my siblings match that they wet at night but have daytime accidents like Gary"

she called Gary over and he met the guy.

"My name is Lawrence, but my friends call me Larry!

This is my sister Maria."

Francis and Gary met Larry and Maria, Maria whispered something to Larry and he gave her a bag. She blushed.

Gary also told Francis that Hermione needed assistance she was soaked again.

"Is she like Maria and wet sometimes?"

"No Frances said she doesn't just wet in the daytime she soaks a diaper several times a day.

Gary has daytime accidents, she has day times soaking until you leak accidents."

Maria came back and said "your Francis right?

Some girl named Hermione needs Your help!"

"Yeah I know, excuse me for a moment."

"How did you get to be in the shoot" Maria asked of Gary? "Well I wet my bed and have accidents in the day time.

The big guy and the Incontinent guy are related."

"How?" she asked.

"Chris Mitchell is my oldest brother, and Jeff is my brother in law."

"Larry is two years and like two months older than me.

He wets his bed like I do.

What about Francis?"

"Her and one other brother didn't get beat by the bedwetting bug they are dry."

"It's just me and Larry we both have problems."

"Well its my parents, brother Chris, sister Darla, me, and Hermione that wet our beds and several have daytime accidents both parents, Darla, me and Hermione."

"My parents aren't bedwetters, never were. But here we are both of us. Our real mom, had two sisters that wet the bed and a brother.

Our mom now has adopted us."

Francis returned "I swear that girl tries to wet enough to leak, we need to get her Plastic Panties!

Her regular clothes as well need to be plastic lined!

Then she might make it through a normal day without leaks."

Larry and Maria, and Francis and Gary promised to stay in touch with each other.

They live in Flagstaff about two hours drive north of Phoenix.

Gary said "I think I'm in love!"

"I know I am" said Francis! Everybody had gone now the editing started.

The PSA would be shown opening day next season on CBS, Fox and the NFL Network, NBC, before Sunday nights game and ESPN for Monday Night Football.

[Drownedinp]

Francis and Larry, or Maria and Gary were on the phone constantly. They were carrying on a long distant romance.

Larry was getting his teaching degree at NAU or Northern Arizona University, Francis was getting hers at ASU.

Gary was getting his Degree in Cyber Crime, as well as computer repair. He had a job lined up, the place Ephraim works.

Adobe Mountain School, where Ephraim was an Uniformed Officer. Gary would be working in their MIS which is Management of Information Systems. Like his dad Gary was interested in computers. His job will to be figuring out how kids hacked the systems also repairing damages that were inflicted to the computers themselves. Maria was one quarter away from getting her AA Degree in childhood development.

Arthur and Betsy were talking and decided that Chris had an India, Darla had a Jeff, Ephraim had Kathy. Even though they weren't married yet it would happen. Francis was dating a Larry, Gary a Maria, that left Hermione as the lone sibling left to find a spouse.

They both agreed that Hermione wasn't interested in boys or for that matter girls! Hermione is just Hermione!

Looks like Chris and India should name their child with something that started with N, and Darla and Jeff something with O. The P, name would have to be named later.

Next child after Darla and Jeff named their Child with the O, name. Looked like that would be Ephraim and Kathy that got the P name.

Chris and Jeff both got the dates they were supposed to be reporting for their camps.

That means Darla would be moving to Boston, Massachusetts area with Jeff.

Her parents and siblings will be missing her.

Caroline and Chris were getting along very well she really liked him she had a niece that had married what seemed a very nice guy.

The guy really wanted nothing to do with his wife or her family.

The guy was still  acting like he was single he was dating and having sex with anybody that would have sex with him.

He didn't get any diseases but did manage to get two of those other girls pregnant, of course they slapped him with child support payments and he wasn't taking very good care of his family with no money coming in.

Did that stop him?

No when he got the Third girl pregnant, she divorced him.

He lives back home with his mom and dad with all the kids he can't afford to live on his own.

And still hasn't learned a dammed thing.

Last she heard he was up to five kids.

He was so busy out making kids with other girls he never got around to getting his own wife pregnant.

Chris was ever faithful to India. He loved India and she knew he would never do anything like that to India.

Even with him being a celebrity of sorts she was sure he could never hurt India in that way.

Darla and Jeff loaded all her things into a U-Haul truck and they started their trip to Massachusetts.

Darla felt naked, it was the first time she had been away from home.

It just felt like a part of her was missing!

She loved Jeff, but she loved her family just as much.

Betsy told her that if she didn't go she would of regretted it, besides he was your husband and she needed to be with him.

We will miss you, yes, but you and him are a family.

Soon you will be three.

Make sure you take plenty of pictures of our new grandson or granddaughter!

Now that they were on their way she knew that it was the right decision, but still it was difficult to leave her mom and dad and her siblings, she couldn't wait to hear what India has either a girl or a boy.

For her dad and Chris she hoped a boy, to carry on the Mitchell name.

For her mom and sisters including India she hoped it would be a girl.

Chris still ran every morning but he missed having Jeff run with him.

He had a few weeks until he still had to report to Oakland!

He spent as much time with India as he could he knew that he would miss her immensely once he was gone.

Same as him, she would miss him once he was gone.

Caroline told him she would even miss him.

That surprised him!

She told him how pleased she was of him, he was a good husband to her daughter, and that he would be a good dad.

She apologised to him for being a witch before they were married.

She could of done a lot worse, but not much better!

Darla wasn't enjoying Boston much.

It was cold and wet.

She did like that their was so much history here, this was ground zero for the American Revolution.

She hated to admit it but she was a history nerd.

She was about three or four months behind India in the baby department.

She felt I'll most mornings and some afternoons and a few evenings.

She had only one day where it was all day.

Jeff was very helpful he would hold her orange hair that signified she was a Mitchell by birth, out of the way.

After the retching which were violent enough to cause her to wet herself he would change her diapers.

She loved her man and he loved her.

She and Betsy talked almost every day or at least twice a week.

She wanted updates on all her siblings, even Hermione, even though there wasn't much to update on her, she never changed! It looked like Ephraim and Kathy were moving their wedding date up to early in November or late October, that was only a few months away, it was the end of July after all.

Pre-season games started in August, and the Raiders were coming here then.

She and Jeff would be able to spend time with Chris.

She was looking forward to it, the funniest thing was she wasn't to sure who was looking forward to it more, her or Jeff?

Yeah he was her brother but she was sure that for Jeff, Chris was his best friend.

Not bad for a guy the family wanted to kill including herself!

That was before it turned out that it was an unfortunate accident that Jeff had injured Chris!

Chris admitted to her that it was a blessing in disguise, he got to marry India, sooner than they had planned, and she met Jeff and ended up married to him and was now having his baby!

Her twin Ephriam met his future wife Kathy as she was Chris's Physical Therapist.

If he wasn't injured, Jeff would of never met her, Chris wouldn't of needed Physical Therapy, no Kathy for Ephraim. Funny sometimes life worked out different than what you expected.

She thinks the next time that she will be back in Arizona, is when her twin Ephraim marries Kathy.

Wild horses wouldn't stop her from coming, even if she has to walk back all the way back from Massachusetts!

Chris and Jeff received information about the Public Service Announcement. It was going to be spectacular

[Drownedinp]

Chris had to leave for Oakland.

He hated leaving, but he had to make the money for his family.

He got there and as usual there were always new faces they had drafted the QB out of ASU.

Chris knew him and liked him, he was glad to have a friendly face in Chris.

Chris also knew that this was one guy that wouldn't make fun of him, he knew Chris was a bedwetter.

He had a little sister and brother that wet their beds, the guy had confided in Chris that he had until age 11 himself.

Unfortunately his brother and sister were teens and still wetting their beds.

His brother was 16 and his sister almost 18.

This guy was as good if not better than the QB from Louisiana that they got last year.

He wasn't the fix all that they were looking for last year.

He had been dealt to the Buffalo Bills.

Hope he does better there than he did in Oakland, he is just a third stringer there.

The Coach asked Chris "How is the Knee?"

"Good" said Chris, actually telling him the truth!

"Great then you wanna get out there and lead the D in some drills?"

"Yes sir said Chris! "Get em warmed up first Chris exercises stretching."

Chris got them stretched out and then the did Jumping Jacks, push ups, sit ups squat thrusts then they ran laps.

Then they lifted weights.

One guy who was a smoker and thought he was in pretty good shape.

Found out that Chris was in damn good shape even better than he had expected.

He had replaced Chris while he was out injured.

Everybody compared notes about what they did in the off season, Chris said "Well I got married."

"No kidding?" Said one guy, another Rookie said "no shit?"

Chris gave him a look.

One guy took him aside and told him about Chris.

"Chris isn't like other guys," the guy started.

The Rookie said "what is he gay or something?" Trying to be funny.

The guy flashed anger at the Rookie.

He swallowed what he wanted to do to the Rookie.

"Chris was raised in a religious family.

He doesn't drink, he doesn't smoke, do drugs or screw around on his wife.

Most of all he doesn't cuss and he will call you on your language if you cuss.

You want to push the issue let me remind you that Chris is one huge guy, he is stronger than an Ox.

If you want to bring the wrath of Chris down on your head, just keep it up!

We find it refreshing that a man will call you on your language, in this day and time.

We respect that! Got it?"

"Yeah I got it" the guy said, "is he still a virgin?"

"He was" said the guy. "How many guys you know will admit that they aren't even if they are.

Chris is proud of that fact.

Yes he's a boy scout.

But we need his morals in today's world.

We're better guys because of it, we're a stronger team because of it.

Even the coach when he gets mad will cuss a little, but the first words out of his mouth after are, "Sorry Chris!" 

"Chris is well liked and your a Rookie.

Look what happened to the last guy that messed with Chris, he is in Buffalo now."

The Rookie asked "does he really still wet his bed?"

"Yes he does." said the player.

"My mom used to when she was younger" said The Rookie, "she was so glad when I got picked up by the Raiders he's her favorite player.

I think even if I do make the team, she will like him more than me still!"

Jeff was surprising everybody at the Patriots Camp.

Someone came and asked him "If he was going to put Chris Mitchell out for good this year."

"Why would I do that he asked?"

"You did it last year!" They said.

"Yeah that was an accident, besides a lot changed this past off season."

"Like what," one guy asked him?

"Well I got married and my new wife is Chris Mitchell's younger sister.

Chris Mitchell is my best friend now."

He loved to watch the guys jaws drop when he shared that information.

"Uh uh?" One guy said.

He whipped out a photo of him and his wife, "You know anybody else with that orange of hair?"

One guy who Jeff thought was a friend looked disgusted and walked away.

 Chris was called to the coaches office.

"How are you Chris", he asked.

"Good" said Chris "why?"

"Well after an injury like you got, the body might be fine but in your head you want to subconsciously baby your knee."

"No" said Chris "I've been running and I'm pretty much as in shape as I was before the injury!"

"Next question the guy that hurt you, if we play the Patriots, you aren't going to be looking for a little payback are you?"

"No coach were good!"

"How?" Asked the coach.

"Well there I was laid up, I had to admit if Mr. Washington was there I wanted to rip him limb from limb."

"That's what I'm afraid of said the coach you wanting revenge!"

"That's the way I was said Chris.

He showed up."

"What? Said the coach? 

He came to your house?"

"Yes if I could of moved off the couch I wanted to tear him apart.

He pleaded his case.

He explained that it was an accident.

He tripped over a guys foot and ran straight into my knee.

I figured that the overhead camera would show that and it did.

He also explained that in High School he had been on the receiving end of that cheap shot.

Coach his back was injured, he suffered nerve damage and he was left incontinent, where yes I wear diapers at night because I still wet my bed he has to wear them all of the time because he has no choice he has no control of his bladder functions.

My sister Darla came and wanted to do what I had wanted to do to him myself earlier.

When I explained that it was an accident.

I explained that he received that injury. 

Now coach you know most of my family is like me and are bedwetters."

"Yes you've discussed that!" Said the coach.

"Well Darla is like me and worse than I am she still has accidents in the day time.

She wears diapers in the daytime as well.

They hit it off twenty minutes later, coach they were holding hands and looking like they belonged together!

Forget the fact that she was about ready to kill him twenty minutes earlier!"

The coach smiled.

"They were married in February. I was the best man."

"No way! Said the coach! You're now the brother in law to Jeff Washington of the Patriots?"

"Yes" said Chris

"I also forgot to tell you I married that girl that I love in December on Christmas eve eve!"

"Well congratulations Chris."

"That and she is pregnant due in October."

"Congratulations again then!"

"How was your Physical Therapy?"

The coach asked? "Even better" said Chris.

"I had just gotten married and the Therapist they gave me was blonde, gorgeous, and had a smile that would warm a winters day!"

"Chris your married!" The coach said.

"Yes I know! Said Chris. The problem was I knew this woman, I couldn't place her but I knew her. Turns out growing up my best friend was Roger.

Now Roger had this annoying, uglier than a mud fence, braces on her teeth little sister named Kathy that had a major crush on me!

I couldn't believe how much she had changed!

Kathy was my Therapist! She still had a crush on me.

I hooked her up with my younger brother Ephraim, they are getting married in November!"

"No way? Said the coach.

Ephraim is he like you?" asked the coach.

"Do you mean is he a bedwetter? No. Said Chris He's one of the two dry ones in my family."

"Then Jeff and I did a Public Service Announcement for the NFL, my sister Francis the other dry one in the family and Gary he is like Darla in that he has day time accidents and is diapered in the day time they met a brother and sister at the shoot."

"Are they like you?" asked Coach.

"Yes and The sister Maria that Gary is dating is like him and has accidents in the day time so she wears diapers in the daytime.

Larry her brother is a bedwetter."

"But Francis isn't?" Said the coach.

"Yes" said Chris! Ephraim isn't but Kathy is!"

"That beautiful gorgeous blonde still wets her bed?"

"Yes" said Chris. That just leaves my sister Hermione unattached. We don't know if she will ever meet anybody!"

"Why is that?" asked the coach? 

"Hermione is a bit of a non conformist, heck she is a lot of a non conformist said Chris!

She hasn't brushed her teeth or hair in a while she wears old baggy grey sweats that used to be mine and she, how do I put this, wets a diaper to see how wet she can get it before she leaks.

Those grey sweats have wet spots on them from her leaking and the worst part is she doesn't care!"

"Wow!" Said the coach, sounds like Hermione is a..."

"Mess! Said Chris! In school that was her nickname "The Mess."

"The reason I asked you here today is because one to find out if your head was on good with you and Mr Washington.

And two your teammates have voted you Special teams Captain.

Pretty much a great honor for a second year player! Congratulations again!"

[Drownedinp]

During pre season the Raiders would be going to New England.

Jeff and Darla were glad to invite Chris for dinner, he was more than glad to see Jeff and his little sister.

He knew he would be seeing enough of Jeff on the field, tomorrow.

They had a good night together and Chris had to get back before curfew he had to make sure that the four guys he was over got back on time.

He had a punter and a kicker, and one long snapper, there was one other guy he just wasn't on offense or defense, he was just on special teams.

That's all he had to worry about. That's what you get when you have that C on your chest.

Chris was at least special teams and did play defense, he had to answer to the Defensive Captain as well.

The next day the Raiders and The Patriots played.

Chris had a good game.

The Patriots had no run games to speak but Jeff had burned him for about 70 yards thus far and it was just getting towards the end of the first half. One of those was a 35 yard reception that gave the Patriots 6 points.

Chris wasn't mad at Jeff he was mad at himself however he was playing like a rookie in his first game!

The other 35 yards that Jeff had was from other people covering him. He was after Brady and almost sacked him when he connected with Jeff for another 30 yards so he had gotten 65 yards, Brady on two plays.

The 5 yards a team he had came from three other receptions, two for two yards and one for a yard. He needed three yards for a first down. It was third and 3 and he only got one.

It was from their own 17 yard line.

They punted by the second half.

Chris was pulled to give the coaches an opportunity to see other players.

At half time it was 20-17, Patriots they continued on playing and the final was 27- 20 Patriots.

Jeff got to play until the third quarter.

He was the one that scored the final touchdown after the Raiders had tied it up 20-20.

The Raiders had to leave as soon as the game was over they showered and dressed and was on the buses to the Airport.

Chris never got to say good bye to Darla and Jeff.

He did call them in his cell phone and said good bye.

Now the Raiders and Patriots wouldn't meet this year in the regular season.

Chris and Jeff knew that they probably would in the playoffs.

They were both two very good teams not to.

Back in Oakland Chris called and talked to India, he thought that it was too bad he wasn't a Arizona Cardinal.

He would never have to leave India. He could just drive home after practice and home games.

The only time that he would be gone is away games.

Two, three days at the most, instead she was a a gridiron widow she lost her husband to the game of football every season.

He was jealous of what Darla and Jeff have, in a way at least they were together during the season.

Then again Darla was missing her family in Phoenix.

Believe it or not so was Jeff, he had a family now as well!

It was nights like tonight, it was a Monday night.

Back home every Monday, Chris and his family were together for a church sponsored activity.

Every Monday the family made no plans and they had a lesson and played activities together as a family.

It wasn't always a lesson.

Sometimes they went places as a family one winter they all went to Flagstaff and went and played in the snow, tubing, having snowball fights with his siblings.

It was one of his favorite memories.

He learned don't throw snowballs at mom!

Not that she got mad or anything, she was a wicked snowball thrower!

Mom could of played QB in the NFL, talk about nailing it, the problem was there wasn't much call for 5 foot 3 inch QB's.

He was smiling just thinking about it.

He couldn't wait to be a dad and do things like that with his kids.

He wasn't planning on playing football forever.

He knew that in five to ten years he would be done.

The contact takes a toll on a body. As a kid they had an activity that he was involved in.

The keynote speaker was to be one of his legends growing up.

A running back for the Dallas Cowboys.

The day of the function his legend couldn't make it, his knees hurt so bad, he couldn't even get out if bed.

That was his first realization that the players that he used to see as God's were just mortal like him!

Instead they had a local TV news Anchor talked, he was good but he wasn't a legend like the other guy.

Knowing himself like he does he was sure that he would end up in some coaching position.

He loved the game and knew it wouldn't be easy to just give up like that, Christian Mitchell Head Coach of the Oakland Raiders!

Or he would be doing commentary like Howie Long, a former Raider. Nah!

He would be coaching, that was closer to the game than being an analyst.

Chris put his diapers on and went to bed.

He dreamed that him and his wife were together he loved her and made love to her!

She had to go into the hospital for work typical day.

He got to play with his kids.

All eight of them they were all babies now he knew why India was so glad to go to work.

He was Mr. Mom!

The worst part was he didn't even know their names.

He named them after Santa's Raindeers: Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donder, and Blitzen.

Unusual names for kids he thought! It was almost overwhelming, who was he kidding it was overwhelming, he would just get one quieted down when another erupted causing at least two or three more to erupt.

He wasn't able to get the house clean shopping or dinner made.

He felt a failure at being a dad to eight babies!

Next time he had somehow lost seven and had one girl left it was so easy after trying to deal with eight kids it was like a picnic.

India left for work and he actually loved this little girl she was his daughter.

Growing up she was more of a boy than a girl she played football like him but that only made her more manlike like her parents she wore diapers to bed, she was a Mitchell.

His alarm went off he got his morning shower dressed and went to the training facility he hit the weights and ran lap after lap after lap then they had scrimmages.

It was a good day then he watched film after film of the Miami Dolphins the team that they would be playing this week.

He would be blitzing a lot more this week not so much pass coverage.

He was to create as much havoc on the front line and in the backfield as possible.. he went home and he ordered Chinese food for dinner. He talked to his mother as she called him and told him that she had just talked to Darla and she was so glad to see you last week, she sounds really home sick.

"She is mom!" Said Chris.

This is her first time away from the nest.

Don't you remember how I almost wanted to quit and come home, especially when I was outed as a bedwetter?"

"Yeah I told you to grow a pair if I remember! Said Betsy! He was a bully and you had been dealing with bullies your whole life!"

"That's what you told me maybe that's what you need to tell her! I'm still here and my bully is in Buffalo, New York. I don't think Darla could grow a pair it a physically impossibility!" Said Chris 

Coming as close as he did to telling a dirty joke!

"Yeah I will have to be gentler with Darla!" Said Betsy.

Chris said,"Tell her she needs to put on her big girl pants."

"But she wears diapers like your dad and I all the time!" Said Betsy.

Chris had to smile mom wasn't always the Cliche expert.

India called and she sounded down herself, "what's up pretty lady?" He asked.

"Obvious you haven't received any updated pictures of me, I look like a baby whale!

I'm sick as a dog most mornings if you was home you would probably divorce me, I look so bad."

"No I wouldn't!" Said Chris,"I'm the one who got you like that remember?

Blame me!

If it makes you feel better that is!"

"Don't worry I already do that!" She joked back.

I miss you Chris!"

"I know you do! 

Said Chris!

But if it makes you feel better I would love for you to come visit here in Oakland I have a bye week in a couple of weeks, you can come like you did last year."

"You mean when I wet your couch and ruined it?

What kind of couch did you get to replace it?"

"Well" said Chris I uh haven't replaced it yet."

"Why the heck not Chris?" Said India! It smells like my pee!"

Chris said "Yes I know it does dear.

I don't want you to think I'm weird or something but that's the reason I haven't gotten rid of it yet, when I'm home and in bed with you I could always tell when you had wet yourself in your sleep.

You gave off an aroma.

That aroma is in this couch.

When I smell it it isn't like your there and I'm here its like we're together again then I don't miss you as much.

I know it sounds weird but it helps!"

"In that case I will have to rechristen your couch while I'm there! Said India! 

I love you more now you find my bedwetting sexy even.

How many girls can say that? Asked India.

Of course I don't feel all that sexy after I have wet my bed!" 

"India I do love you I find You sexy even after you have wet your bed because usually I have wet too as well."

"Chris you are sexy, how many woman's hearts did I break when I married you, your body is muscular, your huge tall and strong.

I know a million girls that would trade places with me in a moment.

Even if you wet their beds, she added!

I got what other woman want and I'm carrying your baby.

That makes me special in anybody else's book."

"Especially my book" said Chris.

You know I can quit anytime!"

"No you can't said India.

I bet your thinking about going into coaching or the broadcast booth after you can't play anymore, haven't you?"

Chris had to smile he had just been thinking that same thing moments earlier!

[Drownedinp]

India was making plans to visit her husband in Oakland.

She had the time off her tickets everything.

She was ready.

She had checked with the airlines she was still able to travel, she wasn't too advanced in her pregnancy.

She flew out and landed in Oakland.

It was like last year Chris was there to meet her looking like he had last year.

Laid back looking more like a beach bum than a professional football player.

He kissed her and India saw the photos being taken.

She could hear the headlines now.

"Chris Mitchell seen kissing a pregnant lady", or "Chris Mitchell seen kissing a beached whale!"

This time it didn't matter, she was Mrs. Christian Mitchell!

When Chris was voted one of Oakland's Biggest Hunks.

He wasn't named one of the most eligible bachelors this year.

Sorry ladies he's married now!

They arrived at his condo He took her suitcase in.

It had been her fathers, Chris had just recently found out what had happened to him.

He was a cop in Minneapolis Minnesota.

He was off duty and walked into a store to get something for dinner.

The place was being robbed.

He walked through the door and surprised one if the robbers who shot him.

He realized about a second to late and was going for his gun.

One of the perps took his weapon and badge, he joked "they weren't doing him much good he's dead!" And then laughed.

He tried to say "He wasn't there but.

He had her dad's weapon and badge, he looked like the shit that shot her dad and he was caught on camera robbing the place.

The guy was to spend the rest of his pathetic life in prison.

India and her mom, wanted the death penalty, they didn't get it!

India honored her father by using his suitcase.

It was old it was about ready to start falling apart, but for now she was using it!

One of the first things she unpacked was her negligee that he liked so much.

The one she had flaunted herself in, about eleven months to a year earlier on her first visit.

Chris didn't have a speaking engagement this time around in fact all he planned on doing was ordering food in and make sweet love to his wife.

Even she agreed that for the first couple of days that sounded like a good idea to her!

First night watching TV she fell asleep with her head on his lap.

Before she knew what happened she had wet his couch again.

India said "I think your couch thinks I hate it, every time I fall asleep on it I wet it that's twice now!"

"It okay you just rechristened it with your scent for me!" Said Chris.

"Yes I did do that, but it's the USPC United States Pee Couch India said, she said since I rechristened it!"

"The USPC, India I like that!" Chris said.

"Urine Right" said Chris making a pun!

"Ooh that's terrible!" Said India!

"Urine right again" said Chris.

"Okay enough with the pee jokes!" Said India!

Chris took a wet India into the bathroom and removed her wet clothing, got her into the tub and bathed her the way a daddy would a daughter, there was nothing sexual about it!

She didn't know why but it raised her libido through the roof.

She was in a sexual mood.

She got out and he dried her off and she went and put her sexy negligee on and they made love to each other for the next 1/2 an hour.

India was tired and Chris diapered her and himself and they fell asleep together.

India was glad of two things!

First that he wasn't repulsed by how big she had gotten, he still loved her despite how big she had gotten as she saw it.

Second that they were still able to have sex somehow she thought that it might harm the baby, as a nurse she new it was still safe but as a mom she wasn't to sure any more.

They slept in and only awoke when the mail got here he had a package for Chris. More diapers.

The mailman looked up as he was on the short side more than a full foot shorter than Chris.

He saw the name and the guy was surprised he suddenly recognized Chris as that football player for the Raiders.

Wow I'm his mailman he thought.

He had delivered letters from the Raiders headquarters and had never put the two together.

There was a beautiful redhead with him today, his wife perhaps?

She was pregnant.

He introduced himself to Chris.

Chris introduced hImself and his wife India.

"He had seen her letters before "lilac letters" he said "from Phoenix!"

"Yes those are mine" she said.

He smiled "I like lilacs to and yours smell like them as well! 

If your from Phoenix, what are you doing in Oakland?"

"Missed my husband."

Was all she said she went and kissed him.

In order to reach his lips she had to stretch and he swore that he saw a diaper on her.

It was no secret that Chris was a bedwetter, was his wife one as well?

He really thought she was.

She was beautiful enough he would let her wear diapers to his bed any day!

He left and Chris was kissing India again when his phone rang it was Raiders headquarters.

"Hello" Chris said.

"Have you seen the news of today?"

Chris recognized the voice of coach.

"No I haven't turned the tv on, why have I been traded?"

"Hell no" said the coach!

"That was followed by sorry Chris!

Teddy has been arrested."

Teddy was the defensive team Captain.

"Seems he and his wife got into a fist fight!

Looks like Teddy lost but they arrested him.

The league has suspended him, your the next in line for Defensive Captain.

Congratulations!" Said the coach

[Drownedinp]

Chris looked shocked India thought "Is everybody all right in Phoenix?" 

It didn't sound like Betsy.

It was a male speaking but it didn't sound like Arthur either!

After Chris hung up.

She asked "Everybody alright?"

"No the Defensive Team Captain for the Raiders was suspended by the league.

I'm the new defensive team captain."

"What happened?" asked India.

"Him and his wife got into a fight and he lost and was still suspended."

"If he lost, said India it sounds like he didn't fight back very hard!" 

Chris grinned "You never met Glinda.

She does Roller Derby, she is almost as big as he is.

Like 6 foot 2 and 260 herself but she really isn't fat.

She is pretty muscular for a woman!"

"Not the effeminate type huh?" asked India.

"Not in the least" said Chris!

"If you want that you should meet Tonya his girlfriend, looks like Glinda met Tonya."

He grinned at her again!

"Well what can we do to celebrate your new calling then?" asked India.

"If you really must know I don't feel like celebrating much I just have gone from four other players I'm responsible for to twenty-six or twenty-seven now.

It doesn't pay anything more really."

Chris and the Raiders for their next game were going to Buffalo Bills in upstate New York.

That was home of his former teammate that had outed him as a bedwetter.

He really had nothing to worry about he was only the third string QB.

Their starter and his backup had to go down before this guy got to play.

 

The owner of the Bills had fined this guy

"He had something to say about how he hated bedwetters which upset several Bills fans.

The hate mail poured in!

The owner took him into his office and explained that he needed to watch what he said about some of their fans.

He explained that his wife, was a bedwetter growing up and his son and daughter are bedwetters.

He donates his time and money to the Kidney Foundation of Greater Buffalo.

So since your a representative of me he was fined $10,000 dollars and that was going to that charity, next fine would be $20, 000.

He was able to keep his mouth shut.

Their starter in practice, misstepped and got what they called an avulsion Fracture.

No bones were damaged but the ligaments in his foot were torn off the bones.

Hurts as bad if not worse than a broken bone.

He is out for the season Chris's worst enemy just got moved moved to back up!

India returned to Phoenix.

Chris was in Buffalo to play the Bills.

The back up QB was up in on a third and 6 the Bills QB dropped back for a pass as he brought his arm back to pass a fellow Defensive player from the Raiders went up the middle.

As he went to pass his arm connected with the Raiders player's helmet.

There was a sickly sounding crunch as the guys hand fractured!

Chris was sick his protagonist from last year just became the starter!

Finally the guy thought I can show that damned bigass bedwetter how a real man plays football.

Next set of downs.

Chris went up the middle getting to Tony Jefferson and sacking him for 5 yards.

"That was to easy!" Chris thought!

Second down and 15 Chris got to the guy again sacking him for 4 more yards.

Once again Chris thought "Way to easy!"

His line isn't protecting him at all! "What gives?"

Third down and 19 now he went to pass he got the pass off just as Chris nailed him the receiver didn't even make an attempt to catch it bounced off his shoulder.

The QB's jaw dropped his team wasn't even helping him.

He didn't understand?

Why wouldn't they help me against this bedwetter?

On the sidelines he laid into his lineman and receivers.

"What the fuck, you ain't even blocking this bigass bedwetter?

Your supposed to be on my side."

"What makes you think that?"Asked his Center? 

"Your such a hot shot Prima Donna you can do it all.

We're just letting you find out you can't."

The tackle said "Yeah you think your hot shit on a silver platter, you ain't nothing but cold piss in a Dixie cup!"

The Center said "Speaking of piss.

Did you know my mom and sister were bedwetters."

"Yeah! The tackle said "it was me and my brother until we were 12!"

The receiver said "It is my cousin.

She is 21 and still wets her bed. She is beautiful by the way!" 

"You can sit there and berate bedwetters all day in the end it's you that will look bad, and we guarantee it will be a long ass day for you. It's your choice but you better decide quick our defense stopped them it's third and 10."

The guy thought for a moment that everywhere he goes he is running into bedwetter or former bedwetters, that have had bedwetting touch the lives of family or friends.

One guy whose wife was a bedwetter threw his soda on him.

Could he have been so stuck on himself that he was to blinded to see that they were people as well?

It was his Ah ha moment.

"Sorry guys your right I'm an ass!

Now we can play with you.

They took over at their 33 yard line after the punt and return.

Chris noticed something had changed he was finding it harder to get to the QB.

He did make it once or twice.

He offered his hand the guy took it and apologized to Chris for treating him like he had.

Chris shook his hand on national television the feud was over the crowd started cheering they recognized that these two had made up in their own way.

Chris continued to bat balls out of the air and he sacked the guy when he could.

He even caught one of the guys passes and run it back for a touchdown. The Raiders ended up winning the game.

But the biggest victory was Chris Mitchell and Anthony Jefferson had became friends!

The coach called Chris to his office.

"I see you made a friend Monday night."

"Yeah I guess I did."

"Chris I had hoped that would of happened here in Oakland.

I guess that Tony had some maturing to do.

I'm sorry but we just didn't have the time or money for that to happen here.

It wasn't you, it was him.

Knowing you like I do Chris if he would of met you half way even last season.

I'm sure what had happened Monday night, could of happened here.

Chris let me say one thing.

I don't want to embarrass you but if I had twenty-two guys that play football as hard as you play football. I wouldn't care if they wore diapers all the time.

Chris I wish I had more guys like you.

When I first heard about how religious you were, all I could think was "He's going to rub somebody the wrong way. At first I thought it might even be me! 

Chris I'll tell you I'm not very religious.

I cuss like a sailor.

But I've learned to curb my tongue, not because I'm afraid of you, it's because I respect you!

Any man willing to stand up for what he believes in this day and age, he deserves my respect!

The whole team feels that way.

Your a leader Chris.

If you ever feel like your to old to play football, I would love to have you as a coach.

If we could teach Rookies to play like you did last year.

I think we could go 18 and 0 nobody, could beat us!

You got something Chris, the guys want.

Like I said I'm not really religious.

I think that something is God.

Just don't go Tim Tebow on me okay?"

"The team has voted you our player chaplain.

You will lead those wishing to do so in prayer in the locker room before the game.

Do you accept?"

"I'd love to coach!"

[Drownedinp]

Ephraim and Kathy were getting ready for their marriage, Betsy had the Church reserved as it was the cheapest venue that they knew of.

Since Kathy parents were dead she had no family.

Even her only sibling was killed in Afghanistan a few years ago.

She had Aunts and Uncles, Cousins none that she would consider close.

Nobody to pay for a wedding for her!

Truth be told, she was closer to the Mitchell's than she felt to her own family.

They had accepted her unconditionally!

Betsy had told her "That she loved her like a daughter already."

Her own mom, she couldn't remember her ever telling her she loved her, well not in the last ten years before her death.

When she was 9 or 10 was the last I love you from her mom.

Betsy always gave her a hug when she came to the Mitchell home.

So did Ephraim!

She smiled she wasn't sure who loved her more Ephraim or his mom?

It was still a few months until the wedding.

She looked at wedding dresses and there were a few problems.

Most were shoulder-less and sleeveless.

They were getting married in November.

Not the most ideal month for those types of dresses.

The the prices! $1300- $3000 for something you wore once.

Betsy told her "They could make her one for about $450 that would be more conducive for weather in November!

They could bring the whole wedding in for under what it would cost for one of the expensive wedding dresses!"

It was nice to have a future mother in law who is a genius!

They were doing it like Betsy and her had planned.

They had just done Darla and Jeff's wedding and Kathy thought it was catered and done by wedding planner Betsy was in in her forte doing weddings.

If she hadn't been a nurse Kathy was convinced she could of made a fortune planning weddings.

She was ahead of her time even.

She had all members of the wedding party diapered for just in case.

Everything she had been reading suggested doing this these days.

The real funny thing was in the Mitchell family diapers were worn on a daily basis by many members already.

Francis and Gary have been calling and talking to Larry and Maria on a daily basis.

Betsy had the feeling that after Ephriam and Kathy the next wedding was going to be a twofer.

Larry and Francis and Gary and Maria.

Hopefully it would be a few months until they got married.

Chris and India in December, Darla and Jeff in February

Ephriam and Kathy, November.

"Francis and Larry, Gary and Maria?

Hermione, never?

Poor Hermione doesn't even have a boyfriend.

Even worse she isn't even looking for one." Said Betsy.

Arthur asked "what happens when we get them all married off, then what?"

Betsy said "you know I have never thought about it!"

Chris another game this time it was in Oakland but it was the Denver Broncos.

He was being double and triple teamed, but they were still moving the ball.

"If I got three players on me he thought why aren't those other two guys going in and doing what I was doing?"

He would have to address this with his Defensive Coordinator. "

"We should be killing them defensively!" He thought!

On the sidelines the Defensive Coordinator was ripping a couple of guys a new one.

"They are killing us and you or you are free why aren't you picking up the slack, Chris is at least double sometimes triple teamed and they are still gaining ground you others better step up or we'll all be looking for a different team to play for next year!"

By about the Third Quarter, those guys had figured out what they were supposed to be doing.

Second half the Broncos only got 73 yards passing and running, compared to 367 total yards the first half they started blocking others and Chris did his thing and started blocking passes sacking the QB.

He intercepted the pass that put them up with 7:52 left in the fourth quarter. That was the first lead they had all day, their offense added one more and they pulled it out by 10 points.

It was 28-0 at the end of the first half.

Final score was 38-28 Raiders!

When other teams started focusing on Chris they soon abandoned it as others stepped up and began making plays.

The Raiders were becoming a formidable team to play against on offense.

Their defense was getting to be one of the best in the NFL!

 Chris was voted as defensive player of the week. Glendale High School was retiring his jersey. As was ASU.

India sent her mom a message "I want you here when I go into labor. Chris would be in Oakland."

Her mom said "She would be honored to be there for her!

She is sorry that her husband can't be there at that time!"

Chris made arrangements with the Raiders Travel Agency.

Her mom would be here two weeks before she was due.

She was spending some time with her mom, but would rather spend it with her husband!

On one hand she understood why he couldn't be here on the other hand the Raiders were being totally unfair!

They could let him come home if they wanted to!

They were just being bullies!

[Drownedinp]

Chris felt guilty.

He had arranged for India's mother to come but Chris knew that India would much rather have Chris there instead of her mom.

Chris wondered how he could swing it being there, if he knew when she was going to have the baby.

Babies are like snow you never know when it's coming or how long the labor will last.

Much like the snow.

She is due somewhere around the second or third week of October.

They will be in Denver, Pittsburg, and Miami around those weeks all pretty important games.

If they knew on say Monday October 12, say he could leave Denver for Oakland then to Phoenix for the birth of his child.

He would like a daughter.

Or a son would be fine but a daughter to stay with India while he's in Oakland playing football.

He thinks a girl would be best for that.

More in common with India.

 Francis and Gary were on the way to Flagstaff.

They headed North on I-17 They passed the correctional facility where Ephraim works.

The place is close enough to the freeway that they could see the kids in their yellow shirts playing basketball.

They saw two kids fighting and they saw a guy they were sure was Ephriam take one of the kids fighting, he put the kid in handcuffs.

About twenty-five or thirty miles past where Ephriam works they came to where the road begins to climb a 6% grade.

There was a sign that said to prevent overhearing turn off air conditioning they did and rolled down the windows.

Soon traffic began to slow down.

Traffic slowed to a trickle.

They crawled along at about ten miles an hour.

They came to a car that had steam pouring out from under the hood.

Francis said "Somebody didn't listen!"

Gary said "Yep, somebody always thinks that they are better than the experts.

We see it every time we come this way."

Frances said "Then everybody has to stop and stare at the idiot.

An hour later they entered Flagstaff there was a Lumberjack that had a sign that said "Welcome to Lumberjack Country." Northern Arizona University are the Lumberjacks.

"Larry and Maria go there" said Gary.

"Yeah Larry graduates with his teaching degree like I do this year", said Francis.

"Maria got her AA degree there" said Gary, "in early childhood development.

She graduates this year as well."

They arrived at The Downs home an older man answered the door.

"You must be Gary, what are your intentions with my daughter?"

Maria said "Daddy!"

"It's allright! Said Gary.

Well sir my mother expects me home the same way I left.

Since I left a virgin, she expects me back as one!"

"Son I can respect that but there are other things you can do that will keep you two virgins but still have way too much fun!"

Maria hid her head.

"Well sir, I could do those things that you are referring to.

But if I love your daughter, like I claim to do.

Just not use her, I would like to keep her the way I wouldn't do anything to hurt her or use her.

Besides I give you my word I wouldn't try anything."

Maria's father was speechless.

Gary added "Plus I will be with my sister and her brother do you think I would try anything?"

Her dad smiled "That's a good answer!"

They went out Maria apologised for her dad's behavior.

"Not to worry" said Gary! He loves you like I do.

I think if Larry came to our house my dad would ask some of those same questions."

Maria asked "Are you really a virgin?"

"Yeah I am!" Said Gary.

"You know most of the guys I've met would not claim to be one even if they were." Said Maria!

The next morning Betsy and Arthur asked "How the date went?"

Francis and Gary both told their point of view how it went for them. Gary even told about how her dad had treated him.

Arthur said "You know I thought about asking Larry that as well. Frances started blushing, much like Maria had.

"Don't please daddy I would fight back like crazy I know Gary would fight for me as well."

At church they had a good Sunday.

Chris was playing in in San Diego that week.

He had a good game, five sacks and he intercepted them three times, one back for a touchdown.

They scored off another.

They won 28 to 12. He was voted Defensive Player of the Week again.

India was in the hospital but was released she had Braxton Hicks contractions she was upset, being a nurse she should know the difference you would think.

She was kind of beating herself up over it.

Ephraim and Kathy were planning their wedding. It was coming quicker than they could believe! She had her dress done and Ephraim had already got his tux ordered.

Things were still a few weeks away for them.

Hermione was a little miffed she had to be cleaned up for another wedding, that meant another dress two times in one year that would be a record for her!

[Drownedinp]

Arthur and Betsy were talking about their kids and spouses.

"Chris feels guilty" said Betsy, he knows he needs to be with the team, he knows he should be with India.

It's really tearing him up inside!"

Arthur said "I know that India is in that same boat she is glad her mother is here. 

At the same time she knows she isn't Chris.

She feels guilty that she isn't more greatful her mother is here for her.

Being Chris's dad he will regret not being here for his first born child!

It's something he shouldn't miss but with what he does for a living.

It's not like he can say I am going home for the birth of his child."

Betsy said "Got a call from Darla she is homesick for her family.

She is only a few months behind India when she and Jeff have a child. She wants to be home.

I told her she needs to be with her husband in Massachusetts.

We're glad she has such a good man like Jeff, I kind of wish she was here, but I know Jeff needs her there."

Arthur asked "How are Ephraim and Kathy doing?"

"The wedding is about a month away almost two months if it was any longer I don't think they would make it.

She is totally in love with him.

If it was any longer than the almost two months, I'm afraid she would jump Ephraim's bones!" Said Betsy!

"Francis and Gary had a good date with Larry and Maria yesterday, sounded positive.

Her dad asked what Gary's intentions were with his daughter.

Gary was forthright told him he honored his daughters virtue." Said Betsy.

"Yeah I think I embarrassed Francis saying I thought about asking that of Larry, said Arthur. I was only joking. I trust our kids."

"That only leaves Hermione" said Betsy. Frankly I have no idea of what to do with her!"

"Me neither" said Arthur "I pray every night over her that one day, soon she becomes a young woman.

It's just she marches to the tune of her own drummer!

The problem is none of the rest of us hear that beat," said Arthur!

On Sunday October 11th Chris was in Denver playing the Broncos.

This was a pretty important game.

For one, it is a Divisional game AFC West matchup.

Another reason was the Raiders, Kansas City, and Denver all had the same record at 4 and 2.

San Diego was a game back and KC is in San Diego.

The Raiders were rooting for the Chargers.

This game was so important that Chris had the butterflies in his stomach, he had only eaten fruit at breakfast everything else looked to heavy and he didn't want to toss his cookies on national TV! Watermelon, Cantaloupe, and Honeydew was all he had.

He dressed in his uniform and was sitting at his locker he picked up his phone to turn it off.

It rang. It was his mother.

"Hello" he said.

"I was hoping to get you before you went and played, we're at the hospital with India."

"Is she okay?" asked Chris.

"She is fine but she is in labor for real this time!"

Chris let out a "Whoop", that caught the attention of his teammates.

"How long is it going to be?" asked Chris.

"You never know said Betsy, could be two hours could be twenty. Listen Chris is there any way you can get here like after the game?

I'm sure India wants you here, her mother is good but she isn't you!"

"Yeah mom I know I will see if I come after the game but I wouldn't hold my breath."

"I understand said Betsy.

Just try, okay?"

"I definitely will ma!"

Chris hung up and turned his phone off he looked and his teammates were standing, staring at him.

The coach asked "What's up, everything allright?"

"Yeah said Chris my wife is in labor."

The guys slapped him on his shoulder pads congratulating him.

The coach said "Chris I need you for the game, if you was a reserve I would tell you get the hell out a here now.

You give me a good game and I'll see what I can do to get you there, hopefully before your child is born, sorry about swearing Chris."

"No problem Coach" said Chris.

Chris played like a man possessed he was everywhere the Broncos didn't know what to do if they ran he stopped it, if they passed he intercepted it!

They managed just 12 points on 4 field goals. The scoreboard showed that the Chargers beat the Chiefs 9 to 6 in OT. The Raiders were in first place!

Chris caught a plane from Denver to Phoenix.

It was a private jet an Executive Air jet he felt like a billionaire, they took real good care of him.

They landed at Deer Valley Airport he expected a cab but as he walked out there was a blue Limousine and the guy had a placard that said Mitchell.

He crawled in and it's only about two or three miles to the hospital.

The driver said "Mr. Davis was happy the way you played today.

This ride is with his compliments, and he said congratulations on the birth of your child."

"Hopefully it hadn't been born yet" said Chris!

Francis was outside the hospital waiting for Larry and Maria to arrive a big old limo pulled up and she jokingly thought "What's the governor doing here?"

The driver jumped out and a fairly big guy about her brother Chris's size got out as he turned she recognized that it was Chris.

She said to him they must be paying you even better than I thought big brother!"

Chris gave his sister a hug.

"Second floor! She said! You better hurry!"

Chris entered the lobby and then went to the elevator he pushed the button and the elevator arrived.

There was another lady that just stared at Chris he stepped in and asked the lady "Are you coming?"

"I'll catch the next one" she said like he would use up most of the air in the elevator.

He pushed two and the doors shut and there was a whine and he felt heavier for a brief second then the elevator stopped the doors opened and he exited.

There was his parents, all his brothers and sisters except Darla and Francis who were downstairs.

Kathy was there.

"I see your almost a Mitchell now.

You come when their is an emergency."

"Wouldn't miss it said Kathy.

I'm almost an Aunt as soon as your little brother and I tie the knot!"

Arthur came and shook his hand "What was that all about at the game in Denver? They didn't know which end was up!

"Every time I sat on the bench I thought about India, when I was on the field I just did what I knew I had to do and played football.

Problem was it was so many three and outs I was sitting on the bench a lot with time to worry!"

Arthur laughed.

Chris was taken to where India was.

She saw Chris and smiled at him, then she was racked with a contraction and told him "He was never touching her again!"

"His dad told him his mother Betsy had told him the same thing when he was born. 

She must of let him, he had five younger brothers and sisters.

Her normal doctor was out on an emergency they had the resident, a Doctor Adams.

He had seen this girl with a lady that was her mother.

Now she was with a guy that was HUGE he also looked familiar.

Her name was Mitchell.

No it couldn't be his favorite player in the whole NFL.

"Chris Mitchell?" He asked.

"Yeah!" Said Chris.

"I saw you dismantle Denver today, then here you are and I assume I'm delivering your baby? 

He extended his hand Doctor Steven Adams! Good to meet you! They treating you good here?" Asked the doctor.

"Pretty good, yes. Said Chris, why?"

"When I was a kid Arizona never had a team."

"Yeah I remember those days as well my dad told me about them."

"Well I became a Raider fan, still am" said the doctor.

"My dad was the same, we had the Cardinals but they weren't that good" said Chris I became a Raider fan myself."

"Were like twins joked the doctor. See the resemblance?"

He asked India.

The doctor was maybe 5 foot 6 and about 145 pounds. His hair was light brown nothing like the almost orange of Chris.

"Oh yeah I do see" said India.

The doctor said to Chris "your wife has what we call Gestational Myopia!"

"What's that?" asked Chris.

"It means her pregnancy has caused her to go blind!" Both Chris and India began to laugh.

"It should be only an hour or two when her contractions get to five minutes apart, nurse."

"Yeah?" Said the nurse.

"Call, said the doctor," no give me a call when her contractions are six and a half minutes apart."

The nurse said "you're dilated enough.

Just got to wait for the contractions to catch up."

An hour later they had a baby Girl they kept in line with the names it was an N, name Nancy! There was an Arthur, Betsy, Chris, Darla, Ephraim, Francis, Gary, Hermione, India, Jeff. Soon a Kathy, a Larry and Maria, and now Nancy!  

Chris got to spend the night with his wife and new daughter Nancy.

He didn't want to leave but he had to.

He was going to return for a team meeting.

He also had to pick up his car from the sports complex where it was still parked.

His dad drove him from the hospital to the airport.

There was no limo this go round.

On the way his dad said "Son that daughter of yours sure is a cutie!

She is tiny and she will grow.

Have you and India thought about what happens if she is blessed with the family curse?"

"You mean if she wets her bed like the rest if us", asked Chris?

"That's what I mean yes you know a child that is born to parents that were bedwetter is 70% more likely to wet the bed than a child without a history of bed wetting."

"Yeah dad me and India have discussed this before, we kind of decided to take you and mom's approach love them anyway if they do or don't! I think our family turned out okay dad."

"Yeah I think so to as well son.

Just to let you know though their is still lots of heartache when you guys got to be about 12 or 13 and saw all your friends that were bedwetters not bedwetting anymore.

Remember Darla wanted us to kill her because of it, I was about ready to kill her over her attitude to the rest of the family, not because she was still a bedwetter.

She was a royal pain in the butt!"

"Yeah she was, wasn't she Chris giggled!

I about wanted to strangle her once or twice or a hundred times myself" said Chris.

They were at the airport.

Chris took his bag and went to the Executive Terminal.

His plane was ready.

A guy said "Our manager wants to talk to you." Chris thought there was a problem.

He asked

"is everything okay?"

"Yes sir nothing is wrong!" 

"We want to ask you to be an ambassador for us." The Manager said!

we're willing to fly you and your immediate family for $20,000.

We are willing to allow you to use our services 20 times in the next year.

That's about a third of what it normally would cost you.

All we ask is that we allow people to see you using our services, your a well known public figure now.

People know you on sight.

If they see you using our services they will follow your example!

Just think not having to fly on public airlines.

We promise to pamper you like first class.

No bratty kids kicking your seat.

No crying babies unless they are your own.

No hassle with double booking.

Flying the way you want to Fly!"

Chris asked "you take Visa?"

"Yes sir we do!" Chris has 20 round trips for his family and him to enjoy.  

Chris got back to Oakland and his meeting.

They were surprised to see him they asked him about his Child.

"Girl 20 inches 9 pounds 2 ounces going to be named Nancy Mitchell."

"Cool one guy said Nancy that's my mom's name!

It will make her day if I tell her Chris Mitchell named his daughter after her.

Besides I think she like the way you play more than her own son!" He laughed!

Chris said "Tell your mom thanks for the use of her name, From me and my wife okay! 

Chris said I know moms you got to keep them happy!"

The guy laughed again, "Nah man she will ask when I'm going to get married and make her a grandmother?"

Chris laughed with him. "Tell her your looking for a girl just like you ma!"

"That's good, the guy said. Unfortunately I've met like a dozen like her, if you know what I mean!"

The meeting was about the game plan on Sunday night they played KC in Oakland it was being called the NFC West Playoffs it was being bumped to the Sunday late game it will be on NBC at 5 pm kick off. That's 8 pm East Coast time 7 pm Central time zone.

Denver goes to San Diego next week at 10 am start hopefully they beat Denver but I don't see them doing it, Denver isn't a team to lose two straight.

After that we Got San Diego here then we get to go to New England again.

For the playoffs.

How we get there depends on the next two games. Will we be AFC West Champions or the Wild Card Team?

Chris got his car and drove to his Condo.

He diapered himself and crawled into his bed alone.

He had been up twenty-seven hours as of about ten minutes from now he was tired and wanted to sleep.

Jeff was in Miami the Pats were there.

That was the game for tonight! MNF Monday Night Football.

That was his last coherent thought before sleep overtook him and he was asleep.

[Drownedinp]

Chris slept the next 14 hours.

He woke up early Tuesday morning.

He got up and changed his diaper.

He was about ready to soak through his.

He put another diaper on and went back to bed he laid on his back with his arms underneath his head.

He sat and thought.

I have a daughter now.

That makes me a dad.

That makes India a mom.

I am responsible for a tiny life.

It's my job, and India's as well. To teach her right and wrong, that won't be very well taken in this day and age.

It was a bit easier for his parents wasn't it?

How did mom and dad do it?

He knew that they had started young and taught us what was expected of us.

When we got older we knew that this wasn't right.

He remembered the first time that he was a bully to another kid.

It didn't feel right, he had been bullied for his size or bedwetting.

All the sudden he quit picking on the kid and began standing up for him.

It felt so bad being on the wrong side!

When he got older he had a girlfriend named Rosemary.

She went by Rose.

Rose and Chris had known each other since they were both worn diapers for pants wetting.

They had a dance when Chris was in ninth grade it was a Sadie Hawkins dance Rose asked him she was so scared that she wet herself while asking him.

Chris's heart went out to her it took a lot of guts and she had been so scared that she wet herself that he would tell her no.

She really wasn't that bad looking.

But like him she wore diapers to school about as long as he had.

It caused both him and her to be not as popular as some of his peers saw them.

Even though he was becoming a pretty good football player in the hierarchy of things he was higher on the food chain than Rose, that's why she was so worried that he would turn her down.

He was about ready to tell her no until she wet herself, he realized how difficult it was for her to ask him.

The reason he wasn't wanting to go to the dance wasn't because he thought he was was better than Rose, it was the fact he couldn't dance!

His mother saw him looking worried.

"Whats is the problem?" She asked.

He explained that a girl had asked him to the dance.

"I don't know how to dance mom!"

Betsy asked him "Don't they teach you to dance in school any more?"

"No said Chris!

Did they used to?"

"Yes!" Said Betsy.

"Really?" Said Chris.

"Chris would you allow me to teach you?"

"Yes mom, I just don't want to look a fool out there dancing."

"You won't." She said!

His mom taught him to dance and the night of the dance.

Others were surprised that the big guy could actually dance!

The girls saw him dancing.

Their boyfriends were pathetic at dancing they asked him to dance.

His dancing was what brought him higher on the hierarchy.

The next dance he had several girls ask him to The dance.

These girls were the ones that wouldn't give him the time if day in the past.

He always turned them down and asked Rose.

By dating him she started climbing the popularity scale.

Neither of them cared much.

They started dating each other.

Chris told her "That the reason he liked her was because she saw him when they were both invisible to others.

I didn't know you had such a hard time asking me until I saw you wet yourself!"

Rose blushed "did you ever stop wetting your bed?" she asked.

"No you?" Asked Chris.

"No! Said Rose. "When we were younger and both of us were still daytime diapered.

I had a crush on you Chris, you kind of were my knight in shining armor.

Remember Ricky Cummings used to tease me and you would come and tell him to pick on you.

We both knew he wouldn't, he was afraid of you, after you kicked his butt in every grade.

"I think the last time was eighth grade.

But this years still not over," said Chris with a smile.

Ricky Cummings had heard to set yourself up as the tough guy you beat up the biggest kid.

That had always been Chris.

The problem was every time they fought Chris won the fight.

Year after year Ricky would pick a fight with Chris.

Year after year he would go down in defeat.

This had happened since they were five and in Kindergarten.

The truth was Chris hated to fight, his mother tried to teach him to use his words.

Just sometimes certain people didn't want to talk.

Ricky was one of those kids.

"You stood up for me! Said Rose.

You were always my hero.

How did you know when Ricky was teasing me about my diapers?"

Chris smiled "Anywhere Ricky was at he was picking on somebody he perceived weaker than him."

Chris and Rose went to all dances and dated each other in high school.

Chris would dance with all those girls that were at one time too good for him.

Several asked him to the dances but he always came and left with Rose.

She knew that nothing would happen, Chris was her boyfriend.

There were a few that tried to steal a kiss.

One girl went fishing in his pants once.

By this time Chris was All State at playing football.

He was one of the most sought linebackers that anybody could remember.

He had teams from back east looking at him. He was offered a scholarship to Penn State, BYU, Utah, USC, UCLA, Stanford, Oregon, Washington, Arizona U of A. ASU. Where he went, them and about a dozen others. They all wanted him.

Rose was pretty smart she got a scholarship to Grand Canyon University in Phoenix she was going to become a Chemical Engineer.

Rose stopped wetting her bed late their Senior year.

Chris was just as proud of her as she was for that accomplishment!

At GCU Rose met a boy who was almost a male version of her, wore diapers to school until the third grade, had a girlfriend also a bed wetter he had known all his whole life she was in Tucson to play softball at University of Arizona, he had stopped wetting his bed late his senior year, and he was also becoming a Chemical Engineer.

Chris was devastated when he got her wedding invitation.

But then he met India and knew in an instant that this was the girl he should marry, it was the same for her, they just knew.

Now they had a daughter.

He knew it was trying times now days but India and him were going to do their best to teach Nancy with the same values that he was raised with!  

Chris fell asleep again and woke up at a decent hour 9 am he got up and had a bowl of Cereal.

It was Tuesday and his day off.

He turned on NFL Channel.

They talked about him and the way he had played in Denver.

They started calling him the "Quarterback Killer."

The joke was for the third week in a row he was the Defensive Player of the Week again that's three weeks in a row.

Anybody's guess who will be Defensive Player of the Month will be? I wonder?

They talked about, If the playoffs were today for the AFC New England, Oakland, Pittsburg, who will it be Miami, or Indianapolis? Wild Cards Kansas City, Denver?

NFC Seattle, New Orleans, Carolina, Philadelphia. Wild Cards Arizona, Minnesota? 

The AFC. West will Oakland or Kansas City or will it be Denver that wins it all?

"If Chris Mitchell keeps playing like he has, it will be Oakland.

When he out shines everybody even the Offense looks better.

If he keeps playing like he has, their going to the show.

Remember it was just before Christmas last year that he went down with his injury last year.

If he keeps playing like this there will surely be a few teams out there to make sure he misses the last part of the season this year.

Seattle in the NFC I believe it will be Oakland and Seattle going all the way. You heard it here folks!" 

They want to hurt me, Why?

It takes a team to win.

Yeah he has good games because everybody else on Defense are doing their job.

If they weren't he couldn't.

When he gets those Defensive players of the week things he tells them they aren't just mine their yours as well.

If they hurt me there will be another to take my place, what have they accomplished?

They did say that I hadn't returned to Oakland with the team he went to Phoenix for the birth of his first child.

"We would like to congratulate Chris and his wife." 

Chris was calming down.

He was keyed up he dressed and went for a run.

It felt good to get some activity.

It was cathartic the thought that somebody wanted to hurt him weighed heavy on his mind.

He had a few things to do he got some money out of the bank to live on for the next week.

He allowed himself $500 a week to live on.

He used his bank card if he needed anything like food!

 Or was a Butterfingers and dropped grape soda all over his very expensive suit like had happened a few weeks ago.

When your as big as he is you just can't go anywhere and get a suit that fits.

He needed to have one made by Omar the tent maker,

The guys teased him about how big he is.

Plus when you wear size 18 EEE shoes you just can't get them anywhere.

At big and tall shops to get a suit that fits, the abdomen he could almost fit two of him in it. Let's just say it needed alteration.

His waist wasn't only like a 40 inch waist but he needed 36 inch inseam.

He had to spill Grape Soda on his, it was another $3,000 for a suit.

The next day there was practice starting off with weights.

Chris was out lifting everybody else.

He was quiet.

When Chris got quiet they usually left him to himself.

He looked mad, even though no one had ever seen Chris mad, they felt it was best to leave him alone and not tempt fate!

The coach asked him "Mitchell what's eating you, you keep lifting weights like that you'll bust a gut?"

"Coach I watched The NFL Channel yesterday they said that it might be bad for me to keep playing like am because the team is playing good."

"Yeah insane, I saw that myself!" said one guy.

"I saw that as well! Said the coach I just figured it was a slow news day for them.

Do you really think a team would face disciplinary action costing them tens of thousands of dollars for targeting a player.

I could see it Chris if you was a dirty player, but your the poster child for fair play!

They are just trying to sell their network.

The NFL will be watching for guys trying to hurt you now, if you get hurt for anything other than stepping down a gopher hole and breaking your leg they will be fined.

They aren't that stupid."

Chris broke into a smile He was very glad they aren't out to hurt him. Coach was right, if they try and hurt him it had better be a bad accident nothing on purpose.

Chris had a good day at practice, he felt like he had in Denver. He was every where!

The coach was smiling bring on KC when Chris went to make a cut and rolled his ankle.

The coach rolled his eyes. "Pride Goeth before the fall".

The trainers checked him out his ankle was sprained, not very bad but it was bad enough that he limped and running was near impossible.

It was day to day.

Next question would he be ready by Sunday?

[Drownedinp]

Chris was still hurting and they were talking that he will not be ready for Sunday.

They were reporting that Chris's ankle was almost broken.

Chris was like "What?" 

He couldn't believe what he heard.

His ankle didn't hurt that bad.

It just hurt was all.

Today he was doing better it hurt and Kathy would be proud of him if he concentrated he could walk with out a limp, "broken I think not."

His phone rang it was the Coach "You no doubt heard ESPN say your leg was almost broken."

"Yeah coach but I feel better I'm working on walking on it."

"Have you told anybody else yet your not hurt bad?"

"No" said Chris.

"Listen said the coach I don't know who leaked this.

KC thinks you aren't going to be able to play on Sunday night.

You know the plays inside and out.

I want you to miss the next few days of practice.

Don't worry you're not going to be fined for missing practices.

Saturday when they come here they will think your injured because your going to be on crutches.

Sunday your going to have a miraculous recovery.

Don't go out and let everybody see you got it?"

"Yeah coach but isn't this kind of cheating?"

"A little but were listing you as day to day, so no Chris we aren't cheating.

"What am I going to do for two days?" asked Chris.

"Watch those Soap Operas, my wife loves them!"  

Chris stayed at home.

He was bored he wished that he had India and Nancy here with him.

He could pass the time away with them.

He got so bored and the Coaches wife was wrong, soap operas were terrible.

Everybody was having sex with everybody else it was disgusting! He watched what he could stomach.

One channel did have all four Indiana Jones movies on. He watched all four, then they started out with Raiders of the Lost Ark again.

By that time it was bed time and he took a shower and diapered himself and went to bed.

He had a nightmare of sorts he wasn't a professional football player.

He was an actor on a soap opera.

He hated being on it he felt dirty everyday.

He was married on the show but he played around a lot, his wife found out but he had to lie to her.

He felt guilty about everything he wanted to apologize but his character couldn't.

He woke up and went and watched TV he got in India's couch and breathed in her scent.

It was like the 600 miles disappeared between them he fell asleep and awoke the next morning it was the best night of sleep he had in ages! His ankle felt fine, it was Friday he started exercising, pushups, situps, he was doing it he couldn't wait until Sunday.

The Chiefs were here in Oakland this was being called the AFC Western Championship whomever won this one was probably going to be the second team and get a first round bye.

The playoffs were going to be New England and The winner on Sunday!

Chris was named a player just before the game.

Some were saying that it was just a tactic to change the Chiefs game plan.

The Raiders Coach pointed out we had practiced and our game plan didn't include Chris Mitchell either.

Others had never thought about that.

Chris acted like he was still having problems the first quarter and into the second.

They were saying he didn't look 100%.

They were throwing the ball to the guys he was covering.

Half way through the second quarter he reached out and intercepted the ball at the Chiefs 35 yard line he was tackled at the 20 and the Raiders had it first and 10 in the red zone.

They were down a touchdown and a field goal at the time.

The QB tossed a screen and they got to the 9 yard line first and goal. The QB faked the run and then threw a quick pass to the tight end he got it to the 1 yard line.

Second and goal at the one. The QB faked the run again and then ran it in standing up.

One of their guys hit him after the play was done.

Chris stood and the coach smiled.

Chris wasn't a cheater and it upset him when others did.

He got a look.

When he got the look he became the educator he showed them how to play and do it with in the rules.

He would be everywhere!

They didn't know it but they had signed their own death warrant.

Chris started pacing up and down the sidelines.

He began to mutter under his breath.

It sounded like a low growl! It was very intimidating if you were opposite Chris on the defensive line!

Next set of downs the Chiefs were pinned down at like the 10 yard line. Chris tossed the guy that was there to try and stop him off to the side and sacked the Chief's QB. Alex Smith at the 6 yard line, it was second and 14.

The next play Smith saw Chris coming again and threw the ball outside the pocket.

It would of taken Chris three steps to get him and Chris didn't hit him. But it was third and 14.

The second quarter was drawing to a close. On third down they tried a run the running back took one step and Chris hit him the ball popped out and went straight into the air.

Chris took it and walked into the endzone it was halftime and the Raiders were up by four points after they kicked the extra point.

At half time Chris paced back and forth to keep the burn going.

The guys thought he was in a bad mood, they left him alone rather than upset him more.

They have never seen him mad before.

He was a pretty big guy and they didn't want him mad at them.

The coach ripped everyone including Chris which made him pace faster.

The guys even kept their distance even more they couldn't believe that Coach would even have the nerve to even talk to Chris.

He was pretty brave.

The coach knew that him laying into Chris would make him play better. He knew Chris wasn't angry but focused.

Third and fourth quarters Chris stopped them cold they managed a field goal. The Raiders won by three touchdowns.

[Drownedinp]

Chris sat just staring at the floor. He was spent.

The adrenaline pumping through his system was gone he had used all of his energy during the game, lucky for him they were in Oakland.

He was finally able to get his uniform and pads off he made his way to the shower.

The hot water felt good on his body! Most of his teammates were done showering.

His body felt every hit now he didn't feel in the game.

He finished showering feeling a bit better he dressed and was led to talk with the press.

They asked him if the way he played today was his attempt to get the Defensive Player of the Week for the fourth week in a row?

Chris said "It's a team effort when I get these accolades it means my teammates are doing their jobs.

I don't even think about getting the Defensive Player of the Week.

I get paid to play football that's all I do, and I expect a 100% from my teammates and myself.

I like winning as much as the next guy, but I would hate myself if we won and I only gave 50%

That would tell me I'm not doing my job, somebody else is covering for me.

We're the Oakland Raiders. We're not the Chris Mitchell Raiders.

When I'm out there.

There are ten others out there with me.

I'm good, but I'm not that good, to think I could do it on my own."

Chris's time was up he got up to leave,. A reporter asked "Him how bad were you hurt last week?"

Chris said "Did you see me at practice? No then it was bad enough to keep me out then, oh and by the way I found out I hate soap operas!"

This caused everybody to laugh!

Chris went home he sat and just thought the Raiders were in first place. He was sure that the championship would either go through either Oakland or New England, either way he would Have to face Jeff again.

He knew that if it meant either the Raiders or Pats going to the Super Bowl. He would rather see the Raiders.

He ordered some barbecue in for dinner, he was getting hungry and didn't feel like cooking.

He thought about one week ago he was in Phoenix while his daughter was being born.

Nancy was one week old today in 51 weeks she would be one-year-old he would more than likely still be here in Oakland.

He loved playing football.

But at times he felt it was robbing him of precious moments with his daughter and wife.

India knew when she married him that she would be a gridiron widow. Nancy didn't know she would be a gridiron orphan to him!

She was just born into a family with a semi famous dad.

Chris also knew that eventually his body would give out and he wouldn't be able to play anymore.

Then what? Coaching?

Would he be physically able to do That?

They had a show called 30 on 30.

They talked to The Boz, Brian Bosworth! At 28 his shoulders were like a man of 60.

The Boz played like Chris he just seemed to be everywhere and do everything.

Chris was still three years away from 28.

Would he last that long?

The average age for retirement was 33 in the NFL.

Oh you had those guys that played until 40 years of age, or longer the average years of playing was four years for his position.

He was 24, that meant he would be 27 when he needed to retire.

All players knew that you were just one play away from retirement.

Hopefully he would be able to finish the season healthy!  

His phone rang, it was India.

When he answered it the first words out of her mouth was, "Alright who are you and what did you do to my husband?"

"What do you mean?" asked Chris.

"You didn't play much like Chris you looked almost mad!

It happened after that late hit on your QB" said India.

"Yeah it kind of got my dander up, I just wanted to show them how to play with in the rules."

"Yeah that's what I thought," said India.

"How are you and Nancy?" asked Chris.

"We're good" said India.

"I got some great news for you" said India!

"What's that?" asked Chris.

"Your sister Hermione, she decided she wants a child like Nancy.

She has started cleaning up, I mean her hair, teeth she looks totally different, I didn't recognize her.

She was in a dress even she is no longer the mess.

She puts Darla and Francis to shame.

I never knew she was so beautiful," said India.

"I always kind of knew! Said Chris but it was so hard to tell."

India said, "She decided she wasn't going to get any guys looking like she has in the past.

She has found a job even.

She is going to go to work for a law firm as their receptionist!"

"No way" said Chris! I always thought that Hermione would one day surprise us, I guess that day was today!" Added Chris.

[Drownedinp]

Hermione started at the lawyers as their receptionist.

The firm was Kessling, Kessling and Michaels.

The older Mr. Kessling, was like 66 years old he was kind of grabby, but she really was enjoying the job.

It was fun and she was having a blast!

Her duties were to be there first in the morning open the doors, answer the phones, greet the clients as they come in.

At night she was to check the computers and either close them down or put them to sleep so that the programs wouldn't be lost.

Older Mr. Kessler groped her, she slapped his hand.

He reminded her that "She was just the hired help and was replaceable!" 

She wondered what she could do, this was sexual harassment.

She talked with some of the other females that weren't lawyers. Interns, assistants, secretaries.

They told her "That it was par for the course, there was an intern here that he did something to.

She filed charges, none of us ever heard from her again.

We think Mr. Kessler had her black balled or something."

This concerned Hermione, she wasn't accustomed to being sexually felt up.

She played more attention to her surroundings to keep him at bay.

She saw another girl come out crying and knew what had happened to her.

She felt her anger rise.

Unfortunately she needed this job.

Out of all the places she applied, this was the most money that she had been offered.

Besides there was a cute lawyer she had her eye on, his name was was Paul Abbot.

She was kind of scared to approach him.

She had given up wearing diapers in the day time.

Night time was a different story.

She decided that he liked her as well but, up to now he had been shy, but every time they made eye contact he was staring at her already.

That night as she went to check computers, the first two the just shut down they were playing Solitaire.

The next had something legal on it.

She put that to sleep.

She got to Paul's, he was on a web site that had DD. on it she found out it was called Daily Diaper.

She saw it was a bunch of stories about people wearing diapers.

They wore diapers! She got home and did her research.

She never knew there were sites like this.

She found a story or two written by Paul. She read them. The hero of his stories had a girl named Gertrude, he figured out she wore diapers hers crinkled really bad.

Turns out his hero was a bedwetter, she wondered.

Is Paul a bedwetter, like Her?

At work the next day Paul came up and looked real nervous. "Hermione, I have a question for you? 

He swallowed. 

Will you go to to lunch with me?"

Hermione gave him a smile, Sorry but at lunch today I have to man the phones during lunch. 

Tomorrow?"

It was Paul's turn to smile, "I got it tomorrow."

"Then the next day then?" she asked.

He smiled "Thursday then?"

"Thursday it's a date" she said.

Paul got a worried look on his face at the word date.

Hermione liked the thought that she had this much power over him!

That afternoon Paul brought her lunch.

They talked, found out a little about each other. Paul was from San Francisco, he had two sisters one was really sweet and the other a huge pain in the butt.

His dad had died when they were younger but he was raised by his mother.

He was surprised that her oldest brother was Chris Mitchell the player for the Oakland Raiders.

He didn't believe her until she showed a picture of her family.

He couldn't believe that the girl in the picture and this lovely creature were the same girl.

"Bad hair day or what?" He asked.

"Something like that" Hermione blushed.

Later that day she read his stories on Daily Diapers again he had started a new one. The guy meets a very cute girl at his office named Harriet he takes her to lunch and discovers her need of diapers.

She was wearing a very noisy diaper.

Hermione smiled what if art imitated life.

She was about to put his story to the test.

Later they had sex, "like that was going to happen, Not!"

She had been raised different than that.

She still liked Paul, but he wasn't going to get what the guy in his story wanted, after they were married yes, but not until then.

The next day she wore a diaper and and brought him lunch while he manned the phones it wasn't a noisy, noisy one like Harriet wore but it was a plastic backed one and made very quiet sounds you could hear if you were listening.

Tomorrow would be the noisy, noisy one like Harriet wore.

At work all day Hermione was eagerly awaiting lunch with Paul.

She was so excited she had almost wet her crinkle, crinkle diaper.

That wouldn't do she only brought the one.

Lunch time came at last they went to a little Italian restaurant around the corner from the office called My Mama's Place.

The Lasagna was really good here.

That's what she ordered, Paul did as well.

Paul was being a gentleman as she sat she crinkled her diaper.

Paul got a funny look on his face.

Did he hear, she wondered?

Paul slid her her in, as she sat he thought he heard a crinkle.

He was sure it was just his mind playing tricks, he had fantasized this happening in his mind a million times, he had written a story like this just a few days ago, the female was named Harriet but was based on Hermione.

Besides he wasn't lucky enough to have this beautiful creature to be diapered.

That only happened in stories like his own, never in real life.

Hermione said I have to go to the ladies room she got up and bent over getting her purse, giving Paul a glimpse of her unconventional undies. Paul thought, "No way," it looked like a diaper she had on!

He took a drink, in his story the guy had just came out and accused the girl who suffered from incontinence of wearing a diaper, this was real life.

You just didn't go around accusing girls this gorgeous of being diapered.

If it was a diaper he was already smitten by her his heart was closing in on love.

He himself has been a lifelong bedwetter he wore them every night to bed himself.

He wondered she told him that she is the sister of Chris Mitchell.

Chris himself mentioned that several if his family had bladder issues, could she be incontinent?

She returned and once again he slid her chair in and he checked out her bottom which did seem puffy, and he heard the crinkle, crinkle again he was sure.

This time.

"So you mentioned your the sister of Chris Mitchell!"

"Yes, he is my oldest brother" she said.

"He really wet his bed like he said he does?" asked Paul.

"Yes" said Hermione, I see where he is going with this she thought.

"Yes several of us family members still have problems like Chris. Several still have day time problems!" She said.

Allright thought Paul and she is one of them he thought.

"I didn't mention in my family we have similar problems my mom, and one of my sister's are bedwetters as well."

"Really? Said Hermione surprised that he would mention it. What about you?" she asked Paul.

"Uhm, yeah." Said Paul.

"Me to!" said Hermione, In fact I wear in the day time in case I have an accident."

Bingo thought Paul!

"My problem is only at night" said Paul. "Are you diapered right now?"

"Uh yeah" she blushed, "I didn't want an accident while I was out with you."

"I understand!" said Paul.

"You do? I was praying that if you found out you wouldn't be turned off by the fact I have a diaper on."

"I remember, Paul said as a kid that if we were going to be in the car for more than an hour we were all diapered, believe me I understand!"

"Thank you Paul I'm glad you shared that I don't feel so much like a freak.

I mean I'm twenty-one and still need diapers.

How many other twenty-one-year-olds are still diapered?" she asked.

[Drownedinp]

After they got back to work and she was on cloud nine! She couldn't believe her luck, she was in love with a handsome lawyer.

She realized that she hadn't thought things through.

What now.

She got on line and checked out DD.

Paul had updated his story.

She read the new chapter, the hero (Paul she assumed), and Harriet, (She assumed that was her). 

They had spent the night together In this chapter they had sex pretty much all night long! 

I hope he likes his story because it wasn't happening in real life.

Like her brothers and sisters she was still a virgin.

At least until they were married.

She transferred a call.

Mrs. Chavez came in she sat and talked to her for a while.

Mrs. Chavez had been trying for 4 years to get disability.

She was disabled, but just not enough according to Social Security. She had arthritis, depression. Just not bad enough to collect but it was making it difficult to work and live.

Some mornings she doesn't even want to get out of bed. The only reason she does is because she is incontinent and her diaper is about ready to leak.

"Have you told your lawyer about your incontinence?" Asked Hermione.

"No way! Said Mrs. Chavez. I can tell you because your.... a woman, she whispered all I have had were male lawyers."

"Well I know you want to help your son? Said Hermione How is he doing?"

"Not good! Said Mrs. Chavez.

I just wish I could get him off those damned drugs!

If I got this money the first thing I would do was get him help!"

"But with the incontinence it might put you enough over the top to qualify."

"You really think so?" She asked.

"I would think so!" Said Hermione.

It was the end of the day she was checking the computers and Mrs. Chavez's lawyer was adding the incontinence to the list, notes said that it looks like this will create a reason to get her benefits! 

"Yeah" Hermione said loudly.

She saved it and put the computer to sleep.

She found more on Paul's computer.

That he hadn't finished an extra chapter, she put his to sleep as well. She couldn't wait to read his next chapter of fiction!  

The Mitchell's got a notification that Darla and Jeff had their baby a little girl just like Chris and India.

They were told to use the O name, they were naming her Olivia!

Hermione figured out Paul fit right in with the family.

They weren't that serious yet, but she was falling more and more in love with Paul.

They were still in the infancy of their relationship, she was hoping he felt about her like she felt about him.

She knew it was to early to declare her love for him.

The season was winding down and Chris and the Raiders were way in first place.

Them and New England were up for the first round bye it would of been them going to New England.

But New England blew the last game of the season and lost to Pittsburgh Steelers by 1 point 35-34.

Now the Championship went through Oakland.

Unless they really blew it in the earlier rounds.

Looks like Seattle would be the team to beat in the NFC.

Ephraim and Kathy were at the gate for their wedding it was about just a month away after the Superbowl.

Chris was his best man after all.

Francis and Gary were now just a few months away for their weddings to Larry and Maria.

Hermione was going to be sure to introduce Paul to her family at those two weddings.

He might not not know it yet but he would be there.

Chris had a week off. Seattle and New Orleans had the week off in the NFC Seattle would be the home team through the playoffs. Everybody thinks it will be New England and Seattle in the big show this year if not New England it would be Oakland and Seattle that's what Chris was working for!

Kansas City would be in Cincinnati and

Pittsburgh would be in Houston.

Arizona at Green Bay and Minnesota at Dallas.

He didn't really have the week off, they would be practicing and practicing some more.

It was do or die time you won or the season was finished, Chris wasn't ready to go home to Arizona quite yet.

He wanted another crack at Jeff and the Patriots.

He was wondering how Jeff was enjoying his new daughter, Olivia? He was kind of jealous of Jeff. He had his wife and daughter with him in New England.

His were mainly a few hundred miles away and be hadn't seen his daughter since she was born.

They had Saturday, Sunday and Monday off this week, three days. Next week only two days then two days the following week.

Both were Mondays and Tuesday then they got got to go to Tampa Bay for the Superbowl.

Provided they made it that far.

Chris couldn't see failure in his future, he could see himself in the Superbowl.

Saturday he watched Kansas City beat Cincinnati, 27- 14. Believe it or not Arizona Cardinals beat Green Bay 21-18 in OT.

Sunday Minnesota beat the Cowboys 31-27, Pittsburgh Beat Houston 27-3 all of the Wild Card Teams won this weekend Chris was hoping it wasn't a trend.

Next Sunday They would host Pittsburgh in Oakland.

Jeff and the Patriots would Play Kansas City in Foxboro.

Arizona went to Seattle, Minnesota went to New Orleans.

Saturday KC and the Patriots, Minnesota at New Orleans. Sunday it would be Arizona at Seattle was the early game and Sunday night Pittsburgh and the Raiders.
