Carolina

[Drownedinp]

Friday morning Carolina and I took Noel into Dr. Grant.

She asked several questions that Noel answered if she wasn't sure she asked us to explain it to her.

She didn't know if her dad's family had any bedwetters, they lived in another part of the state.

Her mommy told her her daddy died before she was even born. 

They sent her to Doctor Madison Anderson Urologist. 

She did the same tests that she ran on me, they also ran on Noel.

After they were done we were brought to her office. 

"Are you sure there is no relation to you Willy?

She has the same incomplete bladder muscle as you.

In fact I would go out on a limb and say she is a long lost relative of yours.

I did noticed a familiar resemblence to you."

After she said that both Carolina and I noticed it as well.

A week later we were in court.

Louise Davenport, never put up one argument to get Noel back as a daughter.  

As soon as the judge banged his gavel declaring Noel ours. 

As we were leaving I noticed Louise staring at me.

"Can I help you, Miss Davenport?" I asked?

"You look familiar, did you ever live in Huntsville?" She asked?

"Yeah I was born and raised there, Why?

"You just look like a guy I knew there about 10 years ago, is all."

"I moved away from there about 10 and a half years ago to go to school."

This might sound weird but do you wear diapers?" She asked?

"That's kind of personal!" I said.

"It's just the guy I knew did, his name was Denny, Daniel, Donald! Something like that?"

"I have a brother Donald?"

"I spent a summer there about 10 years ago with my Aunt Verna McCallister."

"I know her she and her husband Chauncy lived about a block away from us.

I went to school with your Cousin Sarah."

"Yeah, well anyway I had sex with a guy named Donald Carlson, I believe his name was, he is Noel's father.

At least she is going to family.

For a little town there are a hell of a lot of bedwetters there, your brother was the cutest.

There are a hell of a lot of ugly guys.

He scratched my itch for the summer.

When I got home I found out I was pregnant with Noel."

I thought that the reason she looks so much like me is because I'm really her uncle!

Im Uncle Willy! 

Carolina and I have never told Donald he was a dad, he has a right to her, but working at the feed store doesn't pay a whole hell of a lot, he couldn't afford to keep her.

Plus we loved her and the thought of losing her was to painful to even think about.

Her Birth Certificate has listed under father Deceased.

I guess if we did DNA testing but we know the truth.

Her new Birth Certificate lists William Dean Carlson and Carolina Edith (Nee Stamp) Carlson as her parents!

[junyour]

Wow, I apologize for inviting trouble where none was forthcoming. i am glad that Noel is in a happy home and that her mother is sort of out of the picture. conradulations are now in fact due to the happy family.

[Drownedinp]

What do you want for Christmas we asked Noel?

"Can I have a pony?" She asked?

I had to surpress a laugh, I think I asked Santa for the same thing when I was her age. 

"Well Santa once told me, Ponys and other pets don't do well in his gift sack they have to cram everthing in there so tight that sometimes they can't breathe and are dead before they get to your to house!

A couple of years ago he tried to bring Donald a pony,

he didn't make it!

He had to give him the Lincoln Logs instead."

"What are Lincoln Logs?" She asked.

"Only one of the best toys for boys ever invented.

We played for hours and hours making log cabins."

"I don't know mommy never asked me what I wanted before."

"What did you get last year?" I asked?

"Santa always brought me bags and bags of diapers enough to last me months and months, it was like June before she needed to order me more.

She told me that it was a good thing that Santa always brought me those diapers,  otherwise it would of cost her almost double to keep me in them!"

"Well your not getting diapers this year.

Maybe some clothes, but you will get other things as well!" Said Carolina. 

"Like what?" Asked Noel? 

"Toys!

Every kid needs toys!" Carolina said..

We started looking on line we found her a doll, this doll looked a lot like Noel!

We ordered it.

We got her some clothes, including more girls panties for the daytime, cute socks, shoes dresses.

I think since Noel was getting a doll.

Carolina was going to dress Noel up as her doll. 

Noel was at school when everything arrived.

I hid everything in our bedroom.

Carolina wrapped everything that night in our room I took Noel out on a daddy/daughter date we did enjoy spending time with each other. Tomorrow was Christmas I had to work.

We got everything under the tree most of it was from Santa, for Noel.

I was awoke by Carolina, "Honey I think its time!"

"Go back to sleep its 3:30am too early to open presents!"

"This one won't wait! It wants out now!"

It took me a few seconds,  I was never the sharpest tool in the shed and after being awoke at 3:30am I was right down borderline retarded!

"Baby?" I asked?

"Yesss!"

As she was hit with a contraction.

I got her her overnight bag and was about ready to go when I remembered Noel. 

"Where are you going?" Carolina asked?

"Noel!" I said.

I could tell from the look on Carolina's face I wasn't the only one to almost forget Noel. 

I laid her on the back seat and we were off for an adventure of Carolina having our son or daughter and either a brother or sister for Noel. 

We got Carolina registered and they took her back, the plan was originally I was to be her coach I had to watch Noel. 

We were in the waiting room some lady were staring at me and Noel who was asleep on my chest. 

"How old is your daughter?" She asked?

"She is 9 years old!" I said with a smile.

"Isn't she a little old to still be in diapers?"

The lady said very snooty!

I wanted nothing more than to kick this ladies ass for her, I remember when we were young a lady asked mom the same thing when we were traveling and she saw Donald and I in diapers.

My mom calmly answered the lady without knocking her teeth down her throat. 

"She only wears diapers at night, Noel has a birth defect.

Where your bladder the muscle that holds it closed goes all the way around, hers doesn't, she will probably wet her bed the rest of her life.

It a genetic thing.

I lowered my pajama and showed her my wet diaper.

It runs in my family!

Any other way you want to make fun of my daughter?"

"I'm sorry I didn't know, my daughter the one having her baby she wet her bed until she was almost 18, I guess people that live in glass houses shouldnt throw rocks.

I never thought my daughter would stop wetting her bed.

Then about a month before she turned 18, some one turned her faucet off at night.

Wet one night then dry from then on.

Oh when she was in college she had a few wet nights, Doctor said it was stress.

Mostly around finals time.

I about wanted to commit suicide when I was in college at those times."

"I have a brother worse of than me he wears day and night, same reason, incomplete sphincter.

He never married.

Still lives at home with my mom who we both got it from!"

"So she is the 3rd generation then"

"Actually she is probably 5th or 6th generation.

The small town I am from had 1 family move in in 1847, until the late 1860's there was not a gene pool to draw from.

I guess you can say incest was best!

Then in 1860 another family arrived those two family's were the gene pool until the early 1900's by that time the gene pool was pretty polluted.

This bladder abnormality became the norm.

Half of the town are bedwetters or worse, the other half are carriers of the gene, I think my wife was a carrier as well, like your daughter, she was a late bloomer in the toilet training department.

16 years old. Noel here doesn't stand a chance neither does our child being born today."

A Nurse came in "Willy Carlson, you have a daughter!"

"Congratulations!" The lady said.

I realized that one. I didn't feel like kicking this ladies ass anymore for her.

Two I was now out numbered three to one!

We got to take our daughter and Carolina home at about 5pm Christmas day.

We had settled on Christine Marie Carlson.

Christine and Christmas kind of went together.

Christmas was the day Christ was born and you couldn't spell Christine without Christ!

We even considered Christmas Noel for about Two minutes.

I had changed Noel out of her diaper after she woke up at the hospital. She was asleep and missed the fact that there were loads of presents under the tree for her.

She did name her dolly Christmas Noel!

I got the honor of cooking Christmas dinner.

I was now off the next 12 weeks on FMLA to bond with my three favorite girls in the whole world Carolina, Noel, and Christine!.

[Drownedinp]

I was off for 12 weeks so was Carolina, Noel was off another week and then she would be going back to school, 4th grade.

School would be out in 5 months about 25 weeks 125 school days not including weekends as a kid it always felt that the Christmas Vacation was about half way through the school year, even now I know thats not right, there are still 5 months left and you are only 4 months into the school year.

But it still was half way as a kid. 

Either Carolina or I would be there to pick up Noel from school.

About 2 weeks into the new year I picked up Noel from school.

She was upset, I asked her what was wrong?

"I don't want to talk about it!" She said!

We got home and there was a note in her backpack that said the teacher, Mrs. Truman wanted to talk to us again, we asked her why and she still didn't want to talk about it.

Next day we talked to her Mrs. Truman before class. 

"Noel has been having problems as late." The she said.

Is it problems with the work or what I asked?"

"No, no, nothing like that she is still one of my nicest and brightest kids, it's just recently she has been having a hard time.... keeping her pants dry, does she have any nighttime Enuresis problems?"

"Unfortunately yes.

She wets her bed at night. I said.

"Poor dear!" Mrs. Truman said.

"She was born with an incomplete sphincter muscle hers is more C shaped instead of being round." Said Carolina.

"I have the same problem, I used to run around in elementary school with wet pants all the time.

Its a genetic thing."

"I didn't think you were related to Noel, her father is dead!"

"Her father was my brother, Donald!

He had it my mom has it.

Half the town I'm from has it.

There was a lot if inbreeding, about a century ago, now half the town has it from everybody that was included in that family.

I'm descended from them, my brother Donald he was incontinent from it, wore diapers day and night."

"How does it affect you Mr. Carlson?" Mrs. Truman asked?

"As a kid I was wet at school more often than not. I had the occasional wet bed.

Donald was a nightly bedwetrer.

Now that I'm older I have started wetting my bed within the last year.

I wear at work I just can't get up and go all the time.

I'm wetting more there as well now."

"Have you tried talking to Noel?"

"No she says "I don't want to talk about it," I can understand how she feels, I was lucky, I wasn't the only wet kid in school!

She hasn't told us she was having a problem this is the first we have heard about it!"

"Unfortunately she is the only child that is still wetting herself, could we try diapers, or pullups like Goodnites or something like that?

Im sure she is not the only child still wetting her bed at night still but its taking a toll on her being the only one with a day time problem.

It's only going to get worse isnt it?"

"Yes it is. We will talk to her hopefully we can help her!"

[Drownedinp]

We took Noel aside.

"Noel we need to talk!"

"Teacher told you then?" She asked?

"Yes." I said.

"Are you mad at me, or disappointed?"

"Noel why would we be mad or disappointed, we love you!" Carolina said.

"I know but I feel I'm retarded, or something!

Nobody else is peeing themseves like I do."

"Noel, when we took you to Dr. Anderson she told us that your like me, you have what is called an Incomplete Sphinctor. 

Your sphinctor is a round muscle that holds your bladder shut.

Instead of being O shaped yours looks more like a C.

You will always have a problem.

As a kid I used to wet myself like you all the time, my pants were always wet!"

"They were?

So your a lot like Me?

Did you wet your bed as well?"

"Not as much as I wet myself at school, Donald my brother is two years older than me, he wet his bed every night, I wore diapers at night because I never knew when I would end up wet like Donald.

I wet once a week or more at night.

Sometimes every night.

I went two whole months without a wet bed once.

Then I wet every night for 2 weeks straight.

The problem you have was passed on from a parent, probably your dad since your mother never wet her bed."

"Sometimes mommy drank too much and wet hers to.

Just not every night like me."

"My mommy passed it on to me and Donald!

She wet her bed like us, her mommy my grandmother had it.

And her father had it, my great grandfather."

"Does that mean I will give it to my kids?" Noel asked?

"Probably!"

"Is Christine going to have it?"

"Chances are she will have it, yes!"

"But you found mommy and she wets her bed, does she have it?"

"No its just my bladder is very small and at night I produce too much urine for my bladder to hold it all.

So I wet my bed.

Different reason!"

"Am I going to have to wear diapers in the day time now to?" Noel asked?

"It would make it so your not as embarrassed about your daytime wettings!" I said.

"I kind of figured that out on my own, I've not wanted to talk about it because, I kind of knew the answer." Noel said.

"Well they don't have to be big thick ones like you wear at night we can get something like Goodnites for you to wear in the daytime, we can get you a purse to put extras in so when you need to change you can. In fact your teacher, Mrs. Truman was the one that suggested Goodnites!" I said.

"She was? My bestest friend Rachel told me she wears them at night.

She told me I should wear them at school!

I was just afraid you might want to make me wear what I wear at night to school.

That's why I didn't want to talk to you!"

"We want you to remember one thing Noel.

We are not your mom we don't want you to feel embarrassed about your wetting.

If your having problems say down the road that Goodnites stop working for you, we can discuss other options.

We don't want you to feel scared to come to us to talk about anything!

We do love you Noel!" Carolina said.

"I love you guys to!"

[Drownedinp]

We got Noel an oversized purse.

We also got her Goodnites.

First day at school wearing The Goodnites, Noel was convinced  everybody knew she was wearing them.

If they did nobody said anything.

At recess she went and found her Goodnite damp but not wet and her pants were still dry, at least nobody could tell she was wet now.

This was a victory for Her!

Just before lunch she felt her diaper warm, she gasped from the surprise she asked to go to the restroom and she took her purse and her Goodnite was wet this time she wiped herself and put a new one on.

She sat with Rachel  her best friend  at lunch.

After they were alone Rachel said "You're diapered huh?"

"How did you know?" Asked Noel?

Rachel looked around and pulled open the top of her pants and showed Noel her Goodnite as well.

"Mommy is mad at me as well sometimes she dresses me in daytime Goodnites if she gets Frust.... Frusterated with my bed wetting.

She smiled at Noel to share her secret with her. 

From then on if Noel was late getting home from school we knew she was at Rachel Nelson's house.

Or if Rachel was late getting home from school her parents knew she was at our house.

They were each other's first sleep over.

The Nelson's loved Noel and we loved Rachel.

You very rarely saw one without the other. 

About a year later Rachel was with her parents.

Since Rachel was so small for her age she had to ride in a booster seat.

They were driving along and it was snowing.

A guy went to stop for a red light.

He slid into the intersection.

Her dad driving went to stop and started skiding as well  they t-boned the guy and Rachel's father was killed at the scene.

Her mother recieved Major Head Trauma, she had her brain scrambled she lived but she was never the same again she had to learn to walk and talk all over again.

She couldn't care for herself let alone Rachel who got a broken leg from the the accident.

They had a will that if they were to die Rachel was to come to us.

Even though Rachel's mother was still alive we were made her guardians.

There was no way that her mother could care for her she often forgot who Rachel even was. 

We thought we were slick, we had put the same thing in our will about Noel.

Now Donald and mom were to be guardians for both Noel and Rachel, if anything like that happened to us. 

I was now out numbered 4 females to 1 male.

Christine was getting ready to enter the terrible twos!

Even at 1 she could be a handful!

[junyour]

Poor Wily. He is getting lost on an estrogen sea(even if the young ones aren't producing yet, it seems to him like they will be soon).

Great story please send more as the muse permits.

[Drownedinp]

Carolina came to me and said three little words "The Rabbit died!"

Carolina was pregnant.

In my mind I could see myself outnumbered 5 to 1 here pretty quick.

I didn't share Carolina's enthusiasm.

Well I did but inside I wasn't so sure. 

I had a lady I worked with and Carolina used to work with, who had a baby.

She was going to be going to Africa as a nurse.

Where she would be living would be pretty primitive.

Her husband had abandended her and the child, and told her in no uncertain terms that he wanted nothing to do with her or his baby.

The child now was almost two, a few months older than Christine.

Evelyn begged and pleaded to leave her child with Carolina and I, this would be while she was out of Country!

She was expecting to be gone two years.

We took her boy, Tyler she was so thankful for us.

She had us named as guardians while she was gone.

We had her insurance if anything happened to Tyler. 

At first we got phone calls, then she was moved to the primitive area.

We still got lots and lots of letters at least 3 a week, sometimes one a day.

Then they went down to one to three a week.

Then one every other week, to one a week.

Everyone at first asked about Tyler, we sent pictures and pictures.

One day we heard about some kind of Military uprising where she was. The doctors and nurses were captured to help with the wounded soldiers.

They became prisoners of the new regime.

We sent in a Seal team to rescue them.

Several Doctors, Nurses, and Missionaries were killed, one of them was Tyler's mom Evelyn!

We contacted people her ex husband, State department telling them we had Tyler. Nobody seemed to care!

They didn't want him, by now Tyler was almost 4 years old and talking up a storm.

We were mommy and daddy!

He didn't remember Evelyn.

We filed for adoption we figured that sombody would object.

Nobody did we were able to get Tyler as ours.

Carolina and I also had a boy we named Patrrick we were now 4 females to 3 males I was liking the odds better now that they weren't so lopsided!.

[Drownedinp]

My boss at work was retiring, she had been there 25 years, she talked with me in my final interview with her,  I told her, I for one would miss her, she had always treated me fair.

Whoever they got had big shoes to fill!

She smiled at me.

"I recomended you!"

"But I've only been here 7 years!

Others have more time!"

"Others aren't as good as you!

I was only here 6 before I took over, I've ran this area for 19 years, the biggest problem is scheduling, I dreded that at first!

Now I can do a schedule in my sleep.

One I did, it worked out better than the one I did  when I was awake!

Second is keeping others motivated doing their jobs right.

Third is putting up with Adminustrative bullshit!

As a supervisor your expected to go to meetings that they call!

They call meetings to discuss why they have so damned many meetings!

Then they cant figure out why no work is getting done.

Like l said you're my choice for supervisor!

Your temperament will suit you well.

My first boss was one of those hard asses, my way or the highway type guys.

They could never figure out why there was such a turn over in OR Maintenence.

One day the Chief Administrator came my boss was out he talked to me while I cleaned.

He asked, I told him why.

Next thing I knew he was gone and I was the boss.

I've at least kept my people, if they quit it's of their own accord I haven't drove them away. 

I was scrubbing a Operating Room when I was told that I was needed upstairs.

I told them I would be there in a  moment, I was almost done with this room.

5 minutes later I got to the office and l was told to go in.

Mrs. Riggs my boss and the Chief Administrator, Mrs. Watkins were there, I had met Mrs Watkins once.

"Willy good to see you again!

How is Carolina?"

"Good!" I said.

"And your kids?"

"Also good!"

"What do you have now, 5 is it?"

"Yes 5!" I didnt know if she really knew or had Mrs. Riggs filled her in? 

"As you know Mrs. Riggs is leaving us, she has recomended you to be her successor.

How do you feel about that?"

"Well I can always use more money, who can't?

I also know that Mrs. Riggs has set the bar high for us.

I've told her there are some big shoes to be filled!

Since I've worked here, I haven't heard about any post operative infections."

"We had one a couple of years ago you were out on Vacation!" Said Mrs. Riggs.

"It took you a couple of minutes to get here after you were told that you were needed here, why? Mrs. Watkins asked?

"I was cleaning a room and I wanted to finish before I came, I didnt want anybody to have to finish for me.

If somebody starts a room before me, I always started like I had just came in on a dirty room.

I didn't want anybody else to have to clean up after me"

"I think your right Mrs. Riggs I think we have found your successor.

Mrs. Riggs has a few weeks left as your boss upon her retirement you will be named as her successor.

Don't discuss this with anyone but your wife, please!"

I went back and one of my OR was vacant and I started cleaning it.

I was just getting ready to go home.

Two of my fellow coworkers Jeff and Kiki came and said " Did you hear old lady Riggs is retiring?"

"No, really?

Who are they going to get to replace her?" I asked acting surprised!

"I think it might be me! Said Jeff, I've been here 12 years, Kiki has been here 10!

I wouldn't even mind if it's you Willy I think you would make a great boss!" Said Jeff.

"Me too, said Kiki I could work for you!"

"I guess I could work for either one of you, if you twisted my arm hard enough!" I said jokingly!

"Gee thanks a lot!" Jeff said jokingly back.

"I wonder who makes that decision?" Said Kiki.

"I don't know maybe you guys should try getting in good with Mrs. Riggs, maybe she will recommend you or something!"

"What about You?" Jeff asked?

"I don't have enough time in I've only been here 7 years you two almost got double of the time in I got they won't even look at me!"

"Your right its beteween Kiki or me said Jeff!"

Hopefully I threw them off the scent!

[Drownedinp]

A week and a half later Mrs. Riggs announced her retirement.

Jeff looked at me and gave me that look that said "I told you so!"

Kiki asked about her replacement and Mrs. Riggs said "Nobody as yet, the board might look from outside."

Jeff and Kiki were trying to talk to her about maybe recommending them. 

"What about Willy?" Mrs. Riggs said?

"Willy hasn't got the time in!" said Kiki.

"I don't even know if he is interested. Said Jeff.

He acted like he didn't care last week when we told him!"

"How did you know I was leaving, Mrs. Riggs asked?"

"A little bird told us!" Said Kiki!

And just who was that little Bird?" Demanded Mrs. Riggs?

"Uhm, Mrs. Watkins Secretary, Kaycee!" Said Jeff. 

"Way to go you idiot! Now they are going to fire Her! Said Kiki!"

Mrs. Riggs smiled at me, I guess she was glad it wasn't me!

"She told us Willy was in trouble, that you and Mrs. Watkins talked to Willy!

That's another reason we don't think Willy will get the job because he got a write up!"

"Did you ever stop to think that maybe we offered the job to Willy, that's why he was there?" Mrs. Riggs asked.

"No Kaycee said it was a write up!

She saw him fold a paper up and stick it in his pocket, she was sure it was a write up."

I remembered that I folded up the offer and the, almost $9000 raise a year that went with it. 

"When are you going to announce that either Jeff or I got it!" Asked Kiki?

[Drownedinp]

"That's up to the board they will announce it probably next week!

I wouldn't hold my breath to long, they might promote from within or go outside and brining somebody in brand new!

That isn't up to me, all I can do is tell them who I think will do the best job.

They don't have to listen to me.

I can tell you guys your in the top 3!"

"Hear that asked Jeff to Willy were in the top 3!"

"Wonder who the other one is?

Well may the best man, or woman win!" Kiki said!

"I plan to!" Said Jeff!

It didn't take long but Jeff and Kiki  were at each other's throats.

They were trying to sabotage the other other.

They put things in each other's rooms after they were clean.

Kiki put a highly infectious appendix in one of Jeff's rooms. 

Jeff had a toe he got that they had amputated from a diabetic in one of her rooms!

A staff meeting was called, Mrs. Riggs read us the riot act about it.

You guys are acting like two year olds!

She said your right I did recommend you guys but guess what, I'm rescinding my endorsement!

You two and she pointed at Kiki and Jeff.

This job needs to have a grown up at the helm, you two have shown me that you are not grown up!

Really your putting our patients health at risk by trying to get the other in trouble.

Therefore you leave me no choice but to recommend Willy, he hasn't tried to infect our patients!

Come on you two grow up for hell sake!

They both looked at me with like "get a rope!" look.

I knew my rooms were to be next on the sabotage list!

I wasn't wrong next I knew I had the infected Appendix and the dead toe in my room.

I just recleaned the room, both were disposed of properly this time. Mrs. Riggs called us three into her office.

Jeff and Kiki were both threatened with their jobs. 

"If any more infectious waste found it into my rooms after it was clean, and she didn't  care how it got there!

Both Jeff and Kiki would be fired!

You had better hope he doesn't leave it there himself!

Because of your Shenanigans, Willy is your new boss! Congratulate him!"

I could tell neither was very happy for me, they played nice only because the boss told them to!

Word got around quickly that I was the new boss!

People that I  had hardly met were now congratulating me.

Jeff and Kiki were all telling them bad things about me.

I sent them both home early without pay, I liked what Mrs. Riggs called their Antics!

Shenanigans!

New word in my vocabulary.

I was to start Monday.

 was to learn from Mrs. Riggs what my job would be.

I would no longer be wearing scrubs I would be wearing a dress shirt and tie with dress slacks, and dress shoes!

Usually I had Friday off and Saturday I had to work this Friday and have Saturday and Sunday off.

I was also issued a cell phone.

That was so they could always reach me if needed.

I was now on call 24/7/365!

[Drownedinp]

I got there Friday.

Come next week I would have a parking pass and place to park my car.

I had a place now but it was first come first serve parking it was just easier to take the light rail.

Soon I would be able to park in my own spot.

When I got there I found Jeff and Kiki had both called off plus about two others we were short staffed.

I got the crews working and we had a morning meeting in the boardroom I was introduced to the board.

We were about half way through the meeting.

There had been a huge accident and our crew was finding it difficult to keep the OR's clean Mrs. Riggs and myself went and got some scrubs from laundry.

It was a pretty busy morning but we got on top of it.

The accident victims were cleared out and soon we were back to normal.

Mrs. Riggs and I changed back to our civies.

We went to Mrs. Riggs office, soon to be mine.

She let me play with the scheduler I toyed with moving Jeff to second shift and making him the lead staff there and Kiki the 1st shift lead.

Third shift there were 4 guys and hey didn't have a lead staff, there were days they just sat and waited other than Friday and Saturday it hopped those nights.

Sunday through Thursday there were times they had nothing to clean.

Nothing happened no surgeries nothing.

Days and Second Shift were our busy shifts.

We had another meeting in the board room with the Department heads of Housekeeping in Paitents rooms and ER, Kitchen, And Common Areas.

Security Head was also there, they were complaining that some ares of the hospital were not accessable to workers of the cleaning crews 24/7. Can I just say boring as hell!

Mrs. Riggs reminded me that I was a supervisor and that meeting included me and it was my job to be involved!

Finally it was time to go home I got to see my five kids I was about tackled by all 5.

It was well worth the day I had had just to see them!

[Drownedinp]

Saturday I had the kids, it was Carolina's half day her Saturday to work.

I took the kids shopping I needed more slacks and shirts and ties.

I had one pair of good slacks, the biggest problem was when I bought them I was not wearing diapers, now I was and they didn't hide a tabbed diaper very well.

Mrs. Riggs noticed my diapered State.

I had to explain how my bladder was losing the ability to stay dry.

I had to tell her about my disability that I was born with. 

She confided to me that she needed Poise pads as when she sneezed, laughed, or stood up she leaked.

She understood how emberrasing incontinence can be!

She was the one that suggested a new wardrobe with slacks a bit fuller in the seat.

I got 5 pair of new slacks and 5 shirts.

And three new ties that I could wear they went with all my shirts.

Of course as a parent you know you can't buy just something for yourself without buying something for the kiddies.

I had to get Noel and Rachel undies they could wear over their daytime Goodnites, yes Rachel still wore them since her sister did she felt that she didn't want Noel to feel alone so she wore them as well, living with Caroline I was sure that Rachel was a DL like Caroline.

We let her indulge.

At night now she wore the same diapers as Noel, she like the rest of us had a legitimate need for nighttime diapers.

The other two were just getting at an age to be toilet trained, Tyler and Christine.

Patrick was nearing his first birthday.

I just knew he was going to be a track star.

When he wanted something he could run like the wind for it, he gave me a run for my money I had a hard time catching him!

Monday morning I drove into work, I felt weird.

There were people I had met that I had become friends with on the light rail.

You now at first you just saw them everyday then you strike up a conversation.

Soon one of you us buying the coffee and donuts that you ate on the way.

There was Susan she worked at an Insurance company, Larry worked at a law office, Marcy worked at a state agency.

She did tax returns for the state, making sure people had done them correctly, making sure that their payments or refunds were right!

Us 4 got to know each other pretty well. 

I got in Monday morning neither Jeff or Kiki had called off the others that had missed Friday were there already.

I kept expecting Jeff and Kiki they were late as of 5 minutes ago.

It wasn't like Them to be no call, no shows!

Mrs. Riggs also noticed that they were both "No call, no shows!"

"Whats with them two," she asked me?

I didn't have a clue.

I shrugged my shoulders.

It was a pretty slow day we had enough people to cover what we had at 1030 we had the mornig debriefing.

Somebody stole a whole lot of raw steaks from the cafeteria.

Somebody had left the freezer unlocked.

Security was reviewing cameras right now.

There was a Security Guard fired for the thefts.

We were glad it wasn't anybody from OR Mainrtenence.

Mrs. Riggs and I bought our lunch from do the cafeteria and went to our office to eat them I had a hamburger she had the salad.

My phone rang and Mrs. Riggs phone rang I had Kiki.

She apologised for being a no call no show she said it was Jeff's idea.

I told her she had better be there tomorrow, she would receive a written reprimand.

And if it happened again don't bother coming again you won't have a job!

She thanked me.

Mrs. Riggs smiled at me.

"Very well played I have you other absentee on my phone.

I talked to Jeff and told him the same thing that I told Kiki to be here tomorrow, he was getting a reprimand and if it happened again don't bother coming in except to get your final paycheck! 

"You handled that like a pro!

I would of told them the same thing myself!"

Rest of the day we went over other things that I needed to know about being in charge.

There were training sheets that I had to know in case I had to train new employees.

There were policies and procedures about everything, even wiping your nose! 

There wasn't really one for that but some of the policies were on that same line.

We got out about 10 minutes early.

I was told this is a rarity don't get used to it.

I got home and The babysitter was glad to see me, Patrick had ran her to death.

I started cooking dinner.

Next morning I got out and as I looked at my car the passenger rear tire was flat.

I was going to be late.

Crap!

There was a light rail due in 5 minutes, I called and said that I was running late.

I got the next light rail.

This was the one 20 minutes later than I normally would of taken since I had my car I didn't have to leave as early. 

We were going good I was about 3/4 of the way there when, Bang people standing were thrown to the ground.

There were minor injuries.

One lady had gone head first into a pole that you hung on to, I'm sure she had a concussion.

The driver said we had just been hit by a car that had ignored the signal and pulled right in front of him.

Shit! Now I am going to be really late!

The ambulances and fire department were on scene.

I did what I could do to help I showed my ID they thought I was a Doctor or something.

They said were taking them to County Hospital. 

"County?

Mercy is just two blocks from here!

County is 4 miles from here!"

"Yeah I know, but Mercy is on lockdown they had a shooting there this morning.

Hey thats where you work lucky you! You missed the shooting!"

"Shit, shit."

I called Mrs. Riggs number.

It went to voice mail.

"Hey this is Willy I'm on my way I will be late, just heard about a shooting.

I'm going to have to hoof it the last few blocks I will be there in 10 minutes.

I grabbed my brief case that had my diapers in it, I gave the cop in charge my info and told him I will be at Mercy, l work there" 

 "You might not be able to get in they are under lockdown they had a guy shoot his boss this morning, you wouldn't work in the OR's would you?"

"Yeah I do!" I said.

"That's where it happened!" 

I started running I was two blocks away still.

My phone rang, I answered it, it was Mrs. Riggs.

"Mrs. Riggs I'm almost there.

I had a flat, took the light rail, it got In an accident.

I'm almost there a cop tells me there was a shooting in the OR I will be there to help with anything you need!"

"This isn't Mrs. Riggs this is Lt. Cannon, you're who again?"

My name is Willy Carlson.

I'm going to take over from Mrs. Riggs when she retires next week!"

"Do you know a Jeff Downs?"

"Yeah he works for me now, him and Kiki Roberts!"

"When you get here have them escort you to Lt. Cannon got it?

No need to hurry, nobody is going anywhere!"

The last block I walked.

My mind was troubled what the hell was going on?

I guess I would find out soon enough!

There were officers at the Emplyee entrance.

"I'm supposed to report to a Lt. Cannon!"

"You Willy Carlson?"

"Yes that's me as I flashed him my ID.

He called on the radio to  Lt. Cannon he escorted had about 1/2 way to my office.

A guy that could of played football was in the hall the guy was huge, took up half the hall, not fat just big!

He had a blonde moustache and a shaved bald head.

"Whats been going on in your area the past few weeks?"

"Mrs. Riggs planed on retiring in about a week.

There were a few that thought they should of been  her successor.

I was named the replacement."

"Why did these other people feel that they should be her successor?" Lt. Cannon asked?

"Well sir Jeff has been here over 10 years Kiki 9 years and me only 7 years."

"Longevity then?" 

"Yes sir!" I said. 

"What's Jeff Downs like, does he seem a hot head?" The Lt. Asked?

"No he is pretty level headed, he did get a little upset, Kiki as well when they didn't get the job, and I did!"

"What did they do?"

"They called off Friday and both were no call no shows yesterday both called in and I told them both that they would receive a reprimand for their no call no show.

I told them if it happened again don't bother coming in except to pick up your final pay check!" 

"That was yesterday then?"

"Yes sir!

What's going on?"

"Jeff came in today he shot Mrs. Riggs.

When Security got there he shot it out killed one of them they killed him.

He left a letter that said he planned on killing Mrs. Riggs and you.

Then everybody else that worked for you.

He was killed before he got anybody besides Mrs Riggs.

Consider yourself lucky Mr. Carlson, if you hadn't of had a flat tire and your train hadn't of been involved in an accident, you would be dead down there in your office just like Mrs. Riggs!

And Mr. Downs.

I was escorted and there were my fellow workers Kiki was not herself I got a blanket and covered her up laid her down and elevated her feet. I'm sure she was suffering from shock.

I didn't know he was going to do this, I thought it was just a bit of harmless fun until you threatened me yesterday with my job!

I didn't know he was going to kill you two!"

She was crying.

We were stuck there for the rest of the day I got a call from second shifters asking if they should come in.

I told them no, if anything changed I would let them know. 

Carolina called wanting to know if I was okay I told her I would let her know what happened.

The cops were giving me dirty looks.

I was afraid they may take my phone away from me! 

About 7 pm some 12 hours later we were released the OR's and my office were still a crime scene it would probably be tomorrow until they were released.

The light rail home was the longest ride I remember.

I got home and had to tell Carolina how I almost became a victim of Workpkace Violence.

[Drownedinp]

I watched some tv.

We were on every channel, we even made the national news.

Jeff was being portrayed as a monster.

I knew that wasn't true.

Jeff was a friend, he had a string of bad luck the past couple of years, it started with his mom getting cancer, which eventually killed her.

Jeff started drinking.

Which caused his wife to leave.

He got help and was getting his life back on track, then he he had spent the past weekend drinking again, and then on Tuesday he killed two people before he himself was killed.

It didn't mention my name but it talked about the guy that got promoted over Jeff, how I was a target as well but due to a flat tire and the crash of the light rail I was running late.

It talked about the two victims, Mrs. Edna Riggs, and Security Officer Carl Stone.

Mrs. Riggs was a widow, Carl Stone had been in the army did two tours in Iraq, came back with hardly a scratch, only to be killed by a crazed gunman in a hospital. 

Wednesday,  I made it to work.

I was called to the boardroom Mrs Watkins asked "If I was okay?"

 I had to tell her "Physically I'm fine but mentally I'm a mess!

I feel I'm responsible for the death of 3 people, also I feel guilty about being a survivor, I was supposed to be dead as well!" 

I got sent to talk to the Psych about my feelings, I wasn't the only one there Kiki felt guilty she had no idea Jeff planned on doing anything rash as he did, she had poured her soul out to Jeff on the weekend, she feels she egged him on to do what he did! 

Kiki and I became each other's friend when one of us were feeling down, we supported the other.

We made it through this.

It was Friday before my office became mine.

They had to remove the bodies, then the police released it it had to be cleaned and repaired where the bullet holes were at.

They were repainted, New window with my name on the Door, not Mrs Riggs.

I got a new desk, File cabinets all the files were duplicates.

The old ones were blood damaged or had been hit with Bullets.

It looked different than when Mrs. Riggs had this office.

That's the only thing that kept me here.

I got to hire two new people and train them.

The others never talked much to them, about what had happened, even though they asked.

One guy was heard to talk about Jeff being a monster, what he had heard on TV.

Kiki and I set him straight about him being a friend that had made a huge mistake!

[Drownedinp]

It took a while but even Kiki and I got back to somewhat normal.

One day as I'm making my rounds I heard a female, crying in one of the rooms.

I knew it had to be Kiki.

I went in and found her sitting on the floor crying. 

"What's the matter?" I asked her?

I was concerned about her.

"Nothing.

She said somewhat unconvincingly.

Go away I'm fine," she was on the other side of the room but even where I was at I could see the blushing from her.

She was bright red.

Then I saw it her scrubs were wet in the crotch. 

"Kiki did you have an accident?"

I heard her sobs return. 

Very weakly she shook her head yes. 

"Are you all right, your not sick are you?"

I went to her and put my arm around her.

She stood up.

She sobbed into my shoulder.

"I started having Nightmares after it happened.

When I had the nightmares, I would wet my bed.

Now it's even happening in the day.

I want to wear diapers but I'm afraid everybody will make fun of me."

"I'm somebody, I would never make fun of you, and I would repremantd the first person that did!" 

"Come on you know people make fun of others that do!"

There were a few people that you work with or worked with that had bladder problems!" I said.

"Name one!" She demanded.

"Did you know Mrs. Riggs wore absorbent pads she leaked some!"

"That's pads, I'm talking real adult briefs.

I already wear pads and they ain't working anymore!"

"Well there is one other, this person has a birth defect their muscle that stop them from wetting theirs is not complete they wet all the time now!"

"How do you know so much about them?

They told you they wear diapers?

Do they still work here?"

"Well the jury is still out about them working here still.

Do you think I still work here," I said with a smile.

"You?

Yeah right!"

She was smiling now.

I moved my pants down enough she could see the top of my diaper. 

"Oh my gosh your telling the truth.

How long....?"

"Before I got my promotion, my mom passed a defective bladder muscle on to me and my brother.

My brother has been a lifelong bedwetter and is now a daytime wetter as well.

About a year ago I started wetting my bed and soon my day control left me!"

"Are you emberrased about having to wear diapers?" She asked?

"Nope beats the heck out of running around with wet pants."

As I pointed to her crotch.

"True!" She said.

"Hang on what size of scrub you wear?"

"Size 7.

I went to Laundry and got her a Size 8 and I slipped one of my diapers inside and travel size of wipes for her I gave them to her and left her she came out a couple of minutes later.

"Thanks, the diaper is a little big on me but it will do.

You got my vote as best boss ever!"

Next day she was back and looked better than she had in months.

"I got the best nights sleep, I've been waking up wet, last night I was diapered.

Never felt wet and I'm ready to kick ass and take names this morning. Your brother the bedwetrer older or younger than you?"

"Older by two years."

"He live here in town or even in this state?"

"In this state but up in Huntsville!"

"He look like you?"

"No I'm the good looking one, why?"

I said with a smile. 

She gave me a huge smile.

"Do you think you could give me his address?"

I wrote the name and address down on a card.

I handed It to Kiki.

"You know I met a lady that has had sex with Donald, she tells me was pretty good in bed!"

"Even better!" Said Kiki.

[Drownedinp]

Kiki wrote to my brother Donald. They corresponded for a while, then they decided to meet up. I knew Kiki knew about my brother, did he know about her? Kiki assured me he did. She told that 50% of their letters were diaper and bedwetting related.

For some reason I felt this was going to blow up in my face somehow. Donald asked to stay with me for the weekend. We had room, Donald left after half a shift on Friday and drove here.

At our house he showered, shaved and he dressed so not even I would recognize him he was in a Country and Western suit and string tie, I had never seen him looking like this before, he was always in faded levis and blue work shirts. He always wore a straw cowboy hat and old Cowboy boots.

Tonight though he was in a suit it was still a cowboy cut country and western cut. He still had cowboy boots but they looked fairly new, his cowboy hat was a Stetson felt hat, no old sweat stained straw hat! I had to admit he looked good, nothing like the old hick I had came to know!

He still had a pickup truck but even that had gone through a car wash and looked better than I ever remembered it.

He wore after shave it was old spice, but where we hailed from even old spice was sophisticated!

He was off to go pick up Kiki.

I was still believing everything was going to blow up in mostly my face I had given Kiki his addresss!

He was my brother!

Yep it would be me they both blamed.

I heard they were going out line dancing at some contry bar, it was called the Dew Drop Inn. Carolina wasn't much of a country and western music aficionado!

I had grew up listening to my mom's 70's music. For a young guy I liked that type of music. I hated to admit it but one of my favorite bands from that time was ABBA. I told a guy once and he tried to beat me up! I also liked Fleetwood- Mac. Nobody tried to beat me up when I said that I liked them. ABBA I could never understand the bias there. Could it be they were Swedish?

I kept expecting Donald home anytime after the bars closed down. He didn't come home.

0330 hours still no Donald, did he get in an accident, did he get in a fight and get arrested? No if he did he would of called mom who would of called me to go bail him out!     

0430 hours he still wasn't home. Should I call the hospitals? Highway Patrol? The Morgue?                                                                     

0530 hours still no Donald!   

 0630 hours still no word!   

0800 hours Donald made it home. I guess since he was staying with us I became Surrogate mom and started reading him the mom Riot act! 

"We're your fingers broke, you couldn't call?"

He laughed at me and said "Dude you sound just like mom! I didn't call I got lucky last night!" I saw him raise and lower his eyebrows about 3 times, when he said I got lucky. I knew it meant he got laid! I guess I had never saw my brother as a player before. 

Monday morning Donald was back in Huntsville. At work Kiki snuck up and kissed my cheek. "Thanks Boss she said best night I've had since.... well forever!"

I was just so glad it didn't blow up in my face, yet!

[junyour]

I likes the inclusion of the word "yet".  A bit foreshadowing, perhaps. You have caught my attention, again.  I look forward to more.

[Drownedinp]

Donald returned a few times about once a month.

I stopped waiting up for him, he was a big boy.

I told him I had run into an ex of his.

Louise Davenport. 

"Louise Davenport?

Good Hell I havent heard that name in years, what's Louise doin these days.

"Uhm she told me you got her pregnant!"

"Pregnant?

I could of?

Did she have a youngin with her?"

"No appearently she got an abortion!

She said I looked like a guy she knew in Huntsville, she asked me if I wore diapers?

She said his name was Danny or Darrell, I said Donald?"

"Yeah Donald Carlson, I think it was!

He got me pregnant!"

"Now I was thinking Donald, my brother, got a girl pregnant?

No way!"

She told me you was one of the cuter boys in Huntsville.

She said there were a hell of a lot of ugly ones!

"Yeah I screwed her a couple of times, cute girl and wild as a March Hare!

She was a  squirter when we had sex, she was as wet as my diapers were!"

"So you have had sex with others Donald?" 

"Yeah dozens of girls, your right about one thing there are some very ugly dudes in town.

I've had several married woman even!

Their husbands are ugly!!!!!"

"How many damned kids you got running around Huntsville?" I asked

"Last told 4, all of em are being raised by their ugly fathers!" Donald said.

"Does mom know?"

"Small town, people talk, so far my name hasn't been brought up!

Everybody blames Spenser Hyatt as the dad!" 

"One of these days somenody is going to kill Spencer Hyatt. 

What happens when they figure out it wasn't him?

You will be next on the list.

I just don't want that the next time I come home it will be for your funeral!"

I got to work and Kiki who had been so happy as of late was crying again, it was getting up to the anniversary of everything that went down last year. 

"What's the matter Kiki? I asked?

"Your brother....."

Okay my brother, did he break up with you?"

"No!

Your brother got me pregnant!"

Boom it just blew up in my face! 

I went to my office and I called mom 

"Mom this is Willy!"

"Willy are you calling to tell me you and your family are coming for a visit?

It has been a while since you've been here!"

"Mom, the girl that Donald has been dating down here is in trouble!"

"What kind of trouble?"

"Mom, she is pregnant and carrying Donalds baby!"

"This isn't some kind of sick joke is it?" 

"No mom I wish it was, Kiki  is pregnant!"

"Right now your brother is in hiding.

You remember Joeseph Kimbers He decided his little boy looked nothing like him, he beat the hell out of his wife until she told him it was your brothers baby.

Some others figured out that your brother is the father of their kids.

About a quarter of the town is looking to kill your brother.

Now you tell me the lady that he has been seeing down there is Pregnant?

I know I raised you two better than that.

I won't tell anybody else but your brother is headed your way!

Sounds like he is heading for the same thing he left here!"

"I don't know but Kiki has brothers and I think there will be a wedding here.

Shotgun type!"

Kiki came in with Donald.

I gestured for them to sit down

"By mom, I have to go!

Love you too!"

"Donald has Kiki told you the news?"

"Yeah." 

"Listen I think you should marry Kiki and raise your family here!"

"But I don't want to get married!"

"Well either you marry Kiki and live here or I will make a call to Joesph Kimbers myself!"

"Who is Joseph Kimbers?" Asked Kiki?

"He is a friend of ours from back home!

Right now he is sore at Donald for something that Donald said about his wife.

He is looking to kill Donald!"

"What did you say?" Asked Kiki?

"He had a little to much to drink, and said something about his wife being the town whore!

Now her husband and his family are after Donald, I don't know why he told the truth she will screw anything that will screw her right Donald?"

"So you need a place to stay this works out great you can help take care of your pregnant girlfriend soon to be wife!" Said Kiki!

Donald looked like the deer caught in the headlights!

He had nowhere to turn!

[Drownedinp]

Things got better soon Kiki and Donald were married, there were no shotguns involved!

Mom hated living alone.

Even though things calmed down and the lynch mob after Donald got fewer and fewer members.

Everybody knew that if he ever returned it would be his funeral!

Mom sold the house we grew up in and moved about half way here.

Huntsville was still home it just wasn't mine anymore!

Of course with mom living closer, she got to see her grandkids more often, she really loved Noel and Rachel she loved the fact that they had been adopted, yes we adopted Rachel.

In còurt when asked if she agreed of us adopting Rachel Mrs. Nelson asked Rachel who?

She had no memory of her daughter.

That is a pity really Rachel was a sweet, sweet child. 

Donald and Kiki had a boy, they named him William Donald Carlson, after his uncle and father.

I was told by Kiki that I was her favorite boss ever.

I was also her brother in law now.

I seen Donald start looking elsewhere at other woman and I saw Kiki kick his ass.

She didnt beat him up she kicked him right in his ass.

He knew better to stray she told him if he ever did do something with another woman that kick would be on his front side.

Like him she had started to wear pointed cowboy boots.

They added 4 more kids 2 more boys and 2 more girls.

We each had 5 kids where I had 3 daughters he had three sons.

Where I had 2 sons he had two daughters.

There were reports from Huntsville that his kid count, the 4 he told me was the tip of the iceberg that number was anywhere from 13 to 18 kids he had sired there about 3/4 were being raised by other ugly fathers!

Of course it didn't matter they all had the same genetic abnormality, I had two kids that got dry they were two of my adopted kids, Rachel and Tyler.

Rachel didn't want to stop wetting, she was a lot like her mom and loved wearing diapers.

I'm not going to say we got her out of diapers she just wasn't a wetter anymore, even though she wanted to be.

Tyler never had a problem, but he understood why the rest of us did!

I worked at the Hospital another 17 years I retired at 20 years almost 21 years.

Kiki and I started our own Company we cleaned OR's in hospitals and places that did outpatient surgeries.

We became quite wealthy we had over 125 people working for us. 

Noel married a guy that she met in grade school.

He knew she wore diapers.

He wore them at night he had never stopped wetting his bed.

All their 5 kids were bedwetters except one they had a girl that defied the odds her sphincter was complete and she didn't take after her dad and wet her bed.

Rachel married a guy smaller than her even if you can believe that she stood at 5 foot even.

Her hubby was 4 foot 11 inches, he was a Jockey they had 4 kids one girl and one boy wet their beds, the other girl and boy didn't.

The odd part was they all liked wearing diapers including the Jocky.

Christine became an actress, like her grandmother on her mom's side, she had been married and divorced several times she had one daughter and one son.

The daughter carried on the family curse of the incomplete sphinctor the boy didn't. 

Tyler married a girl who was a bedwetter.

She had never thought she would marry, she met Tyler and they dated.

Tyler found out about her bedwetting and when he told her about his family and their wetting problems.

Let's just say hers didn't seem that bad to him.

They went to Africa as missionaries, they found where his mom had been killed.

By then the military regime had died out.

They had 3 kids none which took after their mother. 

Like I said Patrick was a runner, he got into things like Marathons, Iron man Competitions he was in great shape.

He found a woman that was almost like him, she even had the incomplete sphinctor.

She was from Huntsville.

I could never prove it but I believed her to be one of Donald's kids raised by an Ugly Father.

Oh well Huntsville was founded on insest and nothing had changed. 

The End!

[Big-baby-bear99]

Very well written but I think describing their ages was to excessive
