[BabySofia]

This chapter is being posted early because I won't be able to post on Friday. I will however also post on Sunday!

 

Chapter 66: Welcome ‘Home’

 

WE FOLLOWED SHELBY as she led us to where Grandma’s home office space was. The door was closed, so she knocked, “Grandma?” 

We heard the door beep a second later, “Hi, you three, what’s going on?”

Sighing, I said, “We may have a problem?”

“What’s wrong?” She asked, very concerned.

“Well, it’s with our project?” Beth and I explained the expectations of the crew and what was supposed to be happening. 

Grandma’s face did not inspire confidence right then. “That’s really not a good idea,” she said after a few minutes.

“I’m getting that,” I told her.

“Why don’t you contact that girl leading the group tomorrow and ask if she can call me?” 

I nodded, even as Shelby made a face, “No fair, you get to talk to Charlotte Perez!?!” She was joking, but I got the feeling she was also kind of seriously jealous.

“Somehow, I’m sure she’d be willing to meet you,” I said, “I don’t even think it would be an instant adoption, actually, either?”

Shelby stuck her tongue out at me.

I just laughed, “So you think there might be a solution, though?” I asked Grandma. 

“Maybe… While you’re here, I want to connect to your nanites. I’m still a little nervous about your sudden diarrhea earlier, plus the accident you had.”

I blushed, “Me too…”

“Just stand here for a second,” she told me, bringing over a tablet that she worked through some menus. I watched her facial expressions for clues about what she might have seen. She ranged from a no-worries face to suddenly squinting her eyes up and then, at one point, raising an eyebrow. “Got it! Let me look through the data with your grandfather. We’ll talk more tomorrow,” she added. “Why don’t you three head back downstairs? I’ll bring some more hot chocolate?”

“Okay,” I said. “Actually… can you help me first with something?” I asked, embarrassed. 

Thankfully, Grandma was a bright woman, and she walked back to my bedroom and helped me out of the thankfully dry diaper to the potty. “Good boy,” she couldn’t help but say as she watched me wash my hands and then helped me back into a new diaper. “I’m not sure why you had your accident earlier. Hopefully, it’s just an isolated thing?” 

I nodded, “Hopefully…”

“Go ahead and go find the girls!” 

A short while later, after sipping some hot chocolate, we returned to our private ‘theater’ to read the script together.

“You know this script is horrible, but you two get to be in a film with Charlotte Perez! That really is amazing!”

“If it didn’t involve being a little girl who never learns to use the potty, I think I might be excited,” Beth admitted. “She really is cool and not stuck up at all!” 

“You still have to show me some of her work tomorrow?” I told Beth. 

“You have to show him episodes of Life with Charlee first!”

“What is that?” I asked.

“I think you have a channel called Dinsey over in your dimension?”

“Disney,” I replied.

“We have a similar channel over here. She was on a sitcom that lasted from when she was four until she was fourteen. It’s why we all feel like we grew up with her?” Beth said.

“Oh, that’s kind of cool… and creepy for her?”

Beth laughed, “I agree in some ways. I can’t imagine having the entire world watching me grow up! They even had her have problems like bedwetting and a couple freak bathroom accidents at one point in elementary school.” She shrugged, “I guess maybe she’ll understand a little bit what we’re going to deal with here.”

I nodded.

“On with the show?” Shelby asked as she munched on some popcorn. 

“On with the show!” Beth and I said together, beginning to read the script as it rolled up the screen.

 

MONTAGE OF SCENES OF MOM AND NEW DAUGHTER AT
HAIRDRESSER AND LITTLES SUPERSTORE, BRIEF SHOTS OF
TRAVELING TO A HAIR SALON, AND THE NEW GIRL’S HAIR
BEING STYLED TO BE LIKE CALLIE’S. ‘BRIANNA’ LEAVES WITH
A BIG BOW IN HER HAIR THAT MATCHES THE DRESS THEY
DRESS HER IN SHORTLY AFTER THAT. A TRIP UP AND DOWN
THE AISLES OF LITTLES SUPERSTORE FOR CLOTHES,
DIAPERS, AND A STUFFED ANIMAL PASS BY.

 

SCENE - SARAH’S CAR 

BRIANNA HAS FALLEN ASLEEP IN THE CAR AND IS CURRENTLY 
SUCKING ON A PACIFIER SARAH HAD CURIOUSLY GIVEN HER
AGAIN TO SEE IF SHE WOULD LIKE THEM AS MUCH AS HER
DAUGHTER. SEEING HER NEW BABY GIRL SLEEPING MAKES
HER SMILE.

 

SARAH GENTLY PICKS BRIANNA UP OUT OF THE CAR SEAT,
AND THE LITTLE WAKES UP ENOUGH TO HOLD ONTO HER
AS SHE PLANTS HER ON HER HIP. THE RECEPTIONIST SEES HER.                 

               RECEPTIONIST:

         “Well, hello there, Miss Ingels! I
         didn’t know you had another daughter?
         She’s adorable!!!” 

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “Well, she just joined the family this
         morning. She’s actually a bit of a
         surprise for Callie?”                  

               RECEPTIONIST
         “Oh?”  

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “Hoping maybe she can help Callie get
         the hang of the big girl potty?”                  

               RECEPTIONIST
         “Oh, so we have a new buddy, huh?”

                    SARAH (MOM):
         BLUSHES “Yeah.”

 

“Of course, everyone knows about the Potty Training Buddy system!” Shelby choked out. 

“It’s not cliché at all, huh?” Beth shook her head. 

                  

               RECEPTIONIST
         “Well, let me get little Miss Callie up
         here to meet her!”

 

SARAH SETS THE NOW AWAKE BRIANNA ON HER FEET BESIDE HER AND
WAITS FOR CALLIE. SHE’S PASSED THROUGH THE ENTRY DOOR TO HER
MOMMY WHO BOTH HUG EACH OTHER TIGHTLY BEFORE SHE NOTICES THE
NEW GIRL. 

                   CALLIE (DAUGHTER):
         “Who are you? You look just like me!”

 

BRIANNA DROPS HER PACIFIER OUT OF HER MOUTH AS SHE OPENS IT
TO TALK. IT HANGS FROM A PACIFIER STRAP THAT SARAH HAD
THOUGHTFULLY USED TO CONNECT IT TO HER DRESS.

 

                   BRIANNA:
         “Hi Callie, I’m Brianna.” 
 

CALLIE LOOKS UP AT HER MOMMY
 

                   CALLIE (DAUGHTER):
         “She looks like you too, mommy!” 

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “Well, that’s because she’s your new
         sister, sweetie!”
 

CALLIE STANDS FOR A SECOND, LONG ENOUGH TO MAKE
BOTH BRIANNA SARAH WORRY SHE’S NOT GOING TO BE
HAPPY ABOUT IT BEFORE JUMPING UP AND DOWN AND
HUGGING BRIANNA.
 

                   CALLIE (DAUGHTER):
         “I have sister!!!!!”
 

THE CAMERA ZOOMS OUT TO SHOW THE RECEPTIONIST WAS
FILMING THE MEETING ANDCRYING. SARAH IS ALSO CRYING
AS SHE HUGS BOTH GIRLS AND SOON LIFTS THEM UP. SHE
STANDS AND LOOKS AT THE RECEPTIONIST.
 

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “I never had a chance to look at the
         TykeCare App. Did Callie try to use
         the potty at all today?”                  

               RECEPTIONIST:
         LOOKS AT SCREEN “No, she’s had three
         wet diapers and one poopie, but no
         potty tries. In her class, we don’t
         exactly expect any, though?” 

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “I know that - just checking. I need to
         get these two girls home, feed them
         dinner, and let them play a bit before
         night-night time.”

 

SCENE - SARAH’S CAR 

SARAH CARRIES BOTH GIRLS OUT TO THE CAR, AND
CALLIE RECOGNIZES HER OLD CAR SEAT. 

                   CALLIE (DAUGHTER):
         “Mommy, that’s my seat!” 

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “It used to be, but then you got too
         big for it! Now it’s the perfect size
         for your sister, Brianna!” 

                   CALLIE (DAUGHTER):
         “Oh, okay, I’m happy to have a sister.
         I’ll share toys, too!” 

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “That’s very nice of you, sweetie.” 

SARAH BUCKLES CALLIE IN FIRST SINCE SHE CONSIDERS
HER TO BE MORE LIKELY TO DO SOMETHING UNSAFE.
CALLIE SEES HER PACIFIER IN THE CUPHOLDER OF HER
SEAT, PUSHES IT INTO HER MOUTH AND SMILES.

 

BRIANNA STANDS ON THE FLOORBOARD OF THE CAR
PATIENTLY BEFORE BEING LIFTED UP INTO HER SEAT.
SEEMINGLY ONLY THEN REMEMBERS SHE HAS A PACIFIER
HANGING FROM HER OUTFIT. SHE BLUSHES AS SARAH PICKS
HER UP AND PLACES HER IN HER SEAT. THE PACIFIER GETS
GENTLY PUSHED BETWEEN HER LIPS BEFORE SHE FASTENS
THE STRAPS. WHEN SHE’S DONE, SHE CLOSES THE DOORS
AND GETS INTO THE VEHICLE, TELLING IT TO GO HOME
BEFORE TURNING AND FACING THE TWO GIRLS.

 

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “So, how did your day go, Callie?” 

                   CALLIE (DAUGHTER):
         “I had so much fun, Mommy! My new class
         is way better than my old one!” 

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “Oh? Why is that?” 

                   CALLIE (DAUGHTER):
         “No one makes fun of my diapees!
         Everyone in there wears them! They
         also have more fun toys!!!”

 

“Obviously, putting her back with the toddlers is working perfectly!” I said aloud.

“Duh! If it wasn’t for all the bad things that came with it, going back to daycare would be way less stressful!” Shelby replied to me. 

“The price tag is only your potty training, dignity, and freedom?”

“Yeah… I’ll take college stress!” I told her.

 

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “Oh? What else?” 

                   CALLIE (DAUGHTER):
         “I got to sleep in a crib again!!!”
 

SARAH PRACTICALLY CHOKES THEN. SHE CLEARS HER THROAT.

 

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “Huh? Why would you want to sleep in a
         baby’s crib?” 

                   CALLIE (DAUGHTER):
         “It’s safer for us little ones, Mommy!
         I can’t fall out!” She pauses and
         makes a face.

 

“How much gaslighting are they doing to the poor girl in that school?” Shelby asked.

“A lot?” Beth replied.

 

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “Do you need to go potty, Callie?” 

                   CALLIE (DAUGHTER):
         SHAKES HEAD “Nope! I just went, Mommy!” 

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “Callie, why can’t you just use the
         potty like a big girl?” she mutters. 

                   CALLIE (DAUGHTER):
         “Mommy! Does Brianna wear diapees
         too?” 

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “She does, for now, I’m hoping to potty
         train you both at the same time now!” 

                   CALLIE (DAUGHTER):
         “Icky, no wanna! Potty bad!” 

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “It’s going to be a while yet, Callie,
         we’re going to let you both take a
         break from the potty monster.” 

                   CALLIE (DAUGHTER):
         “Yay!!!” 

 

BRIANNA HAS SAT THERE SILENTLY THROUGH
THE EXCHANGES AND NOW THE CAMERA ZOOMS INTO
HER CONTORTED FACE AS SHE JUST NOW BEGINS TO
REALIZE WHAT SHE’S BEEN DRAGGED INTO!

 

“You know, if she hadn’t realized already that her life was over, she’s dumber than I think,” Beth said.

“Yeah, my character is not exactly seeming the brightest here.”

“On the plus side, I’m looking forward to seeing you two in cribs?” Shelby kidded.

Beth reached over and started tickling her. I stood and joined!

“Staaaahp!!!” Shelby cried. “I don’t want to pee!”

A few moments of breathing later, the three of us resumed reading.

 

SCENE - SARAH’S HOUSE

AT SARAH’S HOUSE, SHE HAS THE CAR SELF-PARK INSIDE
THE GARAGE AND UNBUCKLES BRIANNA, THEN CALLIE
AS THE GARAGE DOOR CLOSES. GRABBING BOTH LITTLE
GIRLS BY THE HAND, SHE GUIDES THEM INSIDE. ONCE INSIDE,
SHE CHECKS THEIR DIAPERS AND LEAVES THEM BE FOR
THE MOMENT.

 

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “Callie, why don’t you go show Brianna
         the playroom, and you two can play
         until I have din-din ready?” 

                   CALLIE (DAUGHTER):
         “Yay!!! Come on!”

 

CALLIE PULLS BRIANNA’S ARM PRACTICALLY OUT OF THE
SOCKET AND DRAGS HER TOWARDS THE UPSTAIRS AREA
WHERE HER PLAYROOM SITS BESIDE HER BEDROOM. SHE’S
ENOUGH BIGGER THAT THE STAIRS AREN’T THAT DAUNTING,
BUT BRIANNA IS SMALL ENOUGH THAT SHE HAS TO CAREFULLY
CLIMB UP.

 

CAMERA MOVES BACK TO SARAH, WHO GOES OUT TO THE
GARAGE AND UNLOADS THE PURCHASES OF THE DAY. ONE
OF THE LARGE BOXES OF DIAPERS IN BRIANNA’S SIZE, BAGS
OF CLOTHES, ETC. ALL GET BROUGHT IN AND TAKEN UPSTAIRS
TO THE GIRLS’ NURSERY, WHERE SHE HAD SOME HELP DURING
THE DAY WITH GETTING CALLIE’S OLD TODDLER BED SET UP
ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF HER NEWER BIG-GIRL BED SHE’D
GOTTEN FOR CHRISTMAS.

 

THE CAMERA SHOWS CALLIE ENTHUSIASTICALLY SHOWING
BRIANNA EVERY DOLL AND STUFFED ANIMAL SHE OWNS.
MEANWHILE, BRIANNA IS CLEARLY STRUGGLING WITH A DECISION.

 

                   CALLIE (DAUGHTER):
         “What’s wrong, Bree?” 

                   BRIANNA:
         “Bree?”  

                   CALLIE (DAUGHTER):
         “That’s your name!” SHE SMILES 

                   BRIANNA:
         GIVES A SMALL SMILE. “I like that.” 

                   CALLIE (DAUGHTER):
         “Mommy calls that potty face?” 

                   BRIANNA:
         “Umm...” SQUIRMS 

                   CALLIE (DAUGHTER):
         “Just use your diaper, silly! Potties
         are boring. Playing is much more fun!”
 

RIGHT THEN, CALLIE SQUATS DOWN, AND BRIANNA’S EYES WIDEN.

 

                   BRIANNA:
         “Did you just?”

 

BRIANNA SITS DOWN AND HOLDS A TOY BOTTLE TO HER DOLLY’S
MOUTH. 

                   CALLIE (DAUGHTER):
         “Poopy!” SHE SMILES

                   BRIANNA:
         “I...” 
 

BRIANNA MAKES A FACE THEN, AND SUDDENLY, SHE
BENDS HER KNEES TOO AND ENDS UP MAKING A MESS
IN HER OWN DIAPER. SHE STANDS THERE OUT OF BREATH
FOR A MOMENT. A LOOK OF SHOCK IS ON HER FACE AS
SARAH ENTERS THE ROOM.

 

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “Pee-eew! It smells like a stinky baby
         in here!”  

                   CALLIE (DAUGHTER):
         “Uh-uh, we don’t stink, Mommy!”
 

SARAH GOES TO CALLIE AND PULLS HER DRESS OUT OF THE WAY TO SHOW HER DIAPER AND PULL ITS WAISTBAND BACK.
 

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “Well, you certainly do, Callie!” 

                   CALLIE (DAUGHTER):
         “Well, so does Bree!!! She’s stinky
         too!”  

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “Oh?” SHE WALKS TOWARDS BRIANNA AND
         LIFTS HER IN THE AIR TO SMELL HER
         BOTTOM. 

                   BRIANNA:
         SNIFFLES  

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “Well, it looks like you’re right,
         Callie! Brianna is a stinky baby, too!
         Let’s get you both changed and fed
         some din-din!”

 

SCENE OF SARAH CLEANING AND CHANGING BOTH GIRLS
BEFORE CARRYING BRIANNA ON ONE HIP AND CALLIE ON HER
OTHER DOWN THE STAIRS. AT THE TABLE THERE IS NO LONG
A SEAT WITH A BOOSTER, INSTEAD, TWO HIGH CHAIRS SIT ON
EITHER SIDE OF WHAT MUST BE SARAH’S CHAIR. ONE IS SLIGHTLY
LARGER THAN THE OTHER, BUT THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT BOTH
ARE MEANT FOR BABIES.

 

                   CALLIE (DAUGHTER):
         “Mommy, where’s my chair?” 

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “Right here, sweetie!” 

SHE DROPS HER INTO THE LARGER HIGH CHAIR AND PUTS
BRIANNA IN THE OTHER BEFORE BUCKLING BOTH GIRLS IN.
CALLIE BEGINS FUSSING.

 

                   CALLIE (DAUGHTER):
         “Mommy, I don’t sit in a high chair
         any more, I’m a big girl!” 

                   SARAH (MOM):
         LAUGHS “A big girl, huh? I think my
         ‘big’ girl just went and made poopy in
         her diapee a few minutes ago?” 

                   CALLIE (DAUGHTER):
         “Mommy!”  

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “Callie, we’ve been trying to use the
         potty like a big girl for several
         years! It’s obvious you’re not
         ready to be a big girl! That’s okay,
         Mommy loves her baby girls! You and
         Brianna, wear diapees like babies, and
         now you can eat in your special baby
         chairs too!” 

                   CALLIE (DAUGHTER):
         “Bu...” 

 

SARAH MOVES OVER TO THE TABLE AND PLACES THE TRAYS
ON THE GIRLS’ CHAIRS BEFORE BRINGING OVER MATCHING
PINK BIBS THAT SAY ‘MOMMY’S LITTLE BUTTERFLY’ ON THEM
WITH BUTTERFLIES AND FLOWERS DECORATED AROUND THE
WORDS. BRIANNA MEANWHILE LOOKS TO BE IN SHOCK AT
EVERYTHING AND JUST SILENTLY LETS SARAH VELCRO THE
BIB BEHIND HER HEAD. 

CALLIE FUSSES, BUT SARAH DOESN’T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS
FORCING IT AROUND HER NECK. THE TAMPER-PROOF DESIGN
KEEPS CALLIE FROM PULLING IT LOOSE. SHE POUTS FOR SEVERAL
MOMENTS UNTIL THE BOWL OF MACARONI AND CHEESE IS
PLACED ON THE TRAY.

 

                   CALLIE (DAUGHTER):
         “Maccy Cheesy!!!!” 

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “Like clockwork...” SHE MUTTERS AND
         LOOKS AT BRIANNA AS SHE PLACES THE
         IDENTICAL BOWL ON HER TRAY. “You
         okay?” she whispers. 

                   BRIANNA:
         SHAKES HEAD “No...” she replies
         quietly.  

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “A bit much?” 

                   BRIANNA:
         “You could say that...”

 

“I don’t think she was this kind to Brianna in the first draft?” Beth said to me.

“I just skimmed it before, but I think you’re right that there’s been some improvements there. I think Sarah just gloated over Brianna in the first draft?”

“You can almost like the mom character?” Shelby said.

“Almost,” I said. “She’s still onboard with taking an adult’s freedom away in the hopes that she can potty-train her daughter.”

“And I kind of doubt her daughter is even trainable,” Beth squirmed as she said that.

“It wouldn’t surprise me that they eventually discover she has a genuine medical issue?” Shelby said.

“If so, that makes her mom even worse to me,” I told them.

 

SARAH PATS BRIANNA ON THE HEAD AND GIVES HER A
REASSURING HUG BEFORE SITTING DOWN AT HER CHAIR WITH
A MORE GROWN-UP BOWL OF SALAD IN FRONT OF HER. SHE
WATCHES AS BRIANNA GINGERLY EATS WITH HER SPOON AND
IS COMPLETELY FREE OF ANY MESS ON HER FACE, HANDS, OR
BIB WHEN SHE IS DONE EATING. MEANWHILE HER DAUGHTER
CALLIE HAS CHEESE ON HER HANDS AND FACE, AND SOMEHOW
EVEN IN HER HAIR! THE CAMERA ZOOMS IN AS SHE USES A BABY
WIPE TO WIPE UP ALL OF THE MESS.

 

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “You’re a messy baby, Callie! I’ll
         have to give you both a bath before
         beddy-bye!”

                    CALLIE (DAUGHTER):
         SMILES “Yay! Bubbles?"

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “Seems like your sister at least
         deserves bubbles!”

 

SARAH MOVES TO THE OTHER HIGHCHAIR AND NEEDLESSLY
WIPES BRIANNA’S HANDS AND FACE LIKE SHE DID CALLIE’S.
BRIANNA SQUIRMS AND SEEMS LIKE SHE IS OVERWHELMED
THEN. AS SOON AS SHE FINISHES SHE, UNBUCKLES HER, AND
SQUEEZES HER LIGHTLY IN A HUG.

 

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “You’re overwhelmed, aren’t you?”

                   BRIANNA:
         (NODS) “Yes... this is hard.” 

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “Sorry.” PLACES HER ON THE FLOOR “Why
         don’t you go see if there’s something
         you want to watch on TV? I will
         take Callie upstairs to change her
         outfit since she somehow made a mess
         of her clothes!” 

                   BRIANNA:
         “Umm... Thanks.”
 

CAMERA SHOWS BRIANNA WALKING TO LIVING ROOM AND
MANAGING TO CLIMB ONTO THE COUCH. SHE TRIES THE
STANDARD VOICE COMMAND. 

                   BRIANNA:
         “Mike, turn on the TV.” 

                   COMPUTER VOICE:
         “New user detected, scanning.”
 

A QUICK FLASH OCCURS, AND AFTER A MOMENTS
PAUSE, THE VOICE RETURNS.

 

                   COMPUTER VOICE:
         “TV Protocols set for Age TV-Y. What’s
         your name, princess?” 

                   BRIANNA:
         “Ugh… Brianna.” SIGHS “Show me the TV
         Guide?” 
 

A CHILDREN’S HOLO-GUIDE OF YOUNG PRESCHOOL
AND BABY SHOWS POPS UP WITH NO TEXT.
 

                   BRIANNA:
         “Any news networks?” 

                   COMPUTER VOICE:
         “Those may not be watched without your?
         Mommy, sweetie.” 

                   BRIANNA:
         “Pennycade, please, then?” 

                   COMPUTER VOICE:
         “Pennycade Junior showing now.” 

                   BRIANNA:
         “I mean...” SIGHS “Whatever!”
 

CAMERA CUTS TO SARAH CHANGING CALLIE INTO JUST
A NEW T-SHIRT AND LEAVES OFF BOTTOMS. CALLIE
SEEMS TO BE HAPPY WITH THIS AND HEADS DOWNSTAIRS
TO FIND HER NEW SISTER SITTING THROUGH THE LATEST
DIAPER COMMERCIAL OF THE BRAND THEY’RE WEARING.

 

                   CALLIE (DAUGHTER):
         “Those are the bestest ones!!!!”
 

SHE LOOKS AT BRIANNA AND GETS HER ATTENTION TO POINT
TO THE DIAPERS THEY’RE BOTH WEARING.
 

                   BRIANNA:
         “I’ll take your word for it, Callie.”
 

MIDWAY THROUGH AN EPISODE OF A SHOW THAT ASKED
THE VIEWERS TO TELL THE CHARACTER WHAT TO DO,
BRIANNA CLEARLY FROZE. SARAH SEES THIS, GATHERS
HER IN HER ARMS, AND SITS DOWN ON A CHAIR WITH
HER IN HER LAP. CALLIE IS TOO ENGROSSED IN THE SHOW
TO GET JEALOUS. 

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “Are you okay, Brianna?”

                   BRIANNA:
         “I have to pee again...” 

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “You know you have to use your diapees
         for a couple more weeks until the
         daycare lets us try potty training
         Callie again?” 

                   BRIANNA:
         “Do I have to wait that long?” 

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “Sorry, I hate to do this...” 

                   BRIANNA:
         “Huh?” 
 

SARAH BEGINS TICKLING BRIANNA MERCILESSLY, CAUSING
HER TO GIGGLE. CALLIE SEES THIS AND HOPS UP TO COME
TO HER SISTERS AID.
 

                   CALLIE (DAUGHTER):
         “Mommy! Don’t be mean to Bree!” 

                   SARAH (MOM): 
         “Oh?” 
 

WITHOUT WARNING, SHE BEGINS TICKLING CALLIE INSTEAD
AND EVENTUALLY ALTERNATES BETWEEN THE TWO GIRLS.
 

                   CALLIE (DAUGHTER):
         “Mommy, you’re a meanie head!!!” 

                   BRIANNA:
         “Uh-huh!”  

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “Well, I guess I am. Would a hot
         chocolate make it better?” 

                   CALLIE (DAUGHTER):
         “Hot choccy!!!” 

                   BRIANNA:
         “No, but I’ll take one anyway?”

 

CAMERA SHOWS HER PUTTING THE GIRLS IN THEIR
HIGHCHAIRS AGAIN AND EACH BEING GIVEN A BABY
BOTTLE WITH WHAT APPEARS TO BE CHOCOLATE MILK.
BRIANNA MAKES A FACE AT IT BUT DRINKS JUST LIKE
CALLIE DOES IN THE END. WHEN THEY’RE BOTH DONE,
SHE WIPES THEIR FACES AND TAKES THEM UP TO GIVE
THEM THEIR BATHS. A MONTAGE SHOWS THEM PLAYING
IN THE BUBBLE BATH WITH SOME SQUIRTY TOYS THAT
GET USED ON EACH OTHER AND A SCOLDING SARAH
WHEN BRIANNA SPRAYS HER. THEY’RE BOTH DRESSED
IN MATCHING DIAPERS AND T-SHIRT ONESIES BEFORE
BEING PLACED ON SARAH’S LAP, GIVEN ANOTHER BOTTLE
OF MILK APIECE, AND READ A STORY. CALLIE INSTANTLY
GOES TO SLEEP AND IS PLACED INTO HER BED, EVEN AS
BRIANNA SEEMS WIDE AWAKE AND HASN’T DRANK MUCH
OF THE BOTTLE. SARAH SMILES AT HER.

 

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “Here, hand me your baba.” 

                   BRIANNA:
         HANDS IT TO HER. 

SARAH REPOSITIONS BRIANNA, SO SHE’S CRADLED. HER FIDGETING
SHOWS IT CLEARLY MAKES HER UNCOMFORTABLE.

                   BRIANNA:
         “What are you doing?”

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “Feeding you your baba,” SMILING 

                   BRIANNA:
         "Bu..."  

THE NIPPLE INTERRUPTS HER AS SARAH BEGINS ROCKING THE
CHAIR AGAIN.

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “I know you want to be a big grown-up
         again, and I promise you will be,
         eventually, but right now, you’re going
         to be my little Bree. Enjoy letting go
         a little sweetie.”

 

BRIANNA’S EYES CONVEY HER NERVOUSNESS, EVEN

CHEST GRADUALLY BEGINS SHOWING SIGNS OF HER
SLEEPING EVEN AS SHE FINISHES DRINKING THE BOTTLE.
AFTER AN APPROPRIATE LITTLE BURP, SHE PLACES THE
SLEEPING GIRL IN HER BED AND TUCKS HER IN.
 

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “They’re right, Mommy’s milk does it
         every time?” 

 

“Ugh, ‘Mommy’s Milk?!?” Beth snorted, “Nothing original here at all, is there?” 

“No… Does that mean Sarah’s still giving her daughter breastmilk, too?” I asked.

“Probably?” Shelby said. “There are a lot of Bigs with kids up to age five or six that like to keep breastfeeding them as long as possible.”

“Doesn’t that cause potty problems?” I asked.

“Yes,” Beth said. “If she’s never weaned her, that’s probably why she’s not in any hurry to potty-train.”

“My character is soooo screwed!”

They laughed.

If she is still getting breast milk, no wonder the child has a problem with the potty.

I hope Amanda and Fred can help Connor with the nanites and also add some extra protection.

I'm afraid this story they have to shoot is going to be very very bad for Beth and Connor.

[TerranV]

With how well known the effects of their breast milk seems to be, you would think Amazons would be very strict on weaning their biological children that they intend to grow up. 

I know its fun to mock how cliché the script is but lets face it we all love a little cliché every now and then.

[Jayme]

I can see this script having to go through a major overhaul once Amanda finds out how it is. Now I'm wondering what she found out about Connor's current batch of nanites.

[CDfm]

Well this was a pleasant surprise.  I loved it.  In this chapter they at least acknowledged that Connor is in real trouble.  I was really hoping that I might find out what Grandma was thinking.  I guess I will have to wait until the next chapter comes out. 

[TerranV]

Connor is freaking out about his character, but Beth is gonna be playing Callie, right? She's gonna be right there with him.

The whole concept of the Diaper Dimension was founded on that very concept, so I decided to embrace that with this little film project of theirs! 🙂

You're right, it sucks for both of them. I actually think Beth is in a worse position. At least Littles are expected to be in diapers, Tweeners have a shot at adulthood! 

Thanks for the comments! 🙂

[Guilend]

I wonder if Charlotte ends up playing in a movie as an older teenager, young adult that is still a bedwetter because her mom still breastfeeds her before bed every night lol. I wonder if that actually happens in that dimension. 

I volunteer to play Callie, even though I'm an Amazon, but I'm on the shorter side so that'll be good. I promise I'll try not to enjoy it or accidentally wear the diapers when not practicing or filming. I'm sure it wouldn't go wrong for me lol.

I definitely don't like that they're doing that script. I can sense the dangers. Especially for Beth.

Compared to an Amazon child, what age would Beth be? 

Been thinking of writing a story, so I was curious, for someone to be throughly the same size as a normal Amazon teenager (15-17) would a tall adult Tweener or short adult Amazon be closer to that age range? 

[Ericc]

Quick mostly related question: is it ok to use Emerson’s lore and settings for a story? 

thanks

She's playing 'Sarah' the mom already Guilend. 🤦‍♀️

Beth is 7'7" tall, which by my height/weight guide puts her at just an inch over the average 7 year old-Amazon. 

This means she can pull off Callie's role height-wise just fine.

Those are from my projections using BMI as the basis for weights.

Thank you for asking first! As long as you don't do anything with my existing characters that is fine! If you have any desire to interact with characters I've created, please run that past me first. 

[Ericc]

Thanks. I could only think about an interaction with the dean sooner or later. I will send you a draft beforehand obviously.

I mean later in her career lol. Not during your story, like after graduation lol

Thanks. Honestly I don't understand BMI or any of that lol. I never even heard of BMI till my mid to late 20s lol. When I get home from work I'll see if I can figure it out. Sometimes I think a tall Tweener could be more like an Amazon teenager, then I think about Beth and since she's like a 7 year old Amazon child then even the tallest Tweener might only be maybe 10 to 12 years old and that might be stretching it. However having a short Amazon, probably around Amanda's younger sister's height might pull off being treated and seen as an Amazon teenager. 

[Guilend]

I just looked at your chart some more. If I am reading it right, and those are the averages then i guess i could use a tall Tweener or a short Amazon. Though I think a short Amazon would have to be kind of pretty short for an Amazon if I make her in her mid to late 20s. Thanks.

Got to thinking this one might be more helpful. When I created my characters for this work I spent some time thinking about the variations of sizes we come in from underweight to overweight characters. I used BMI calculations for underweight on one of my charts - might be a better match for you. If you have any more questions PM me though so we don't muddy up this thread too much more 🙂 (The equivalent underweight Littles is on the right. Left is the 'healthy and normal' Littles.

[Guilend]

@BabySofiaI thought of something, like a Q/A story or interview with some of the characters of your completed stories. Any interest in doing something like that?

Takes his story idea set in a Diaper Dimension school after one of those commonly mentioned pranks gone wrong and hides it under a pillow. Cliche tropes, nope, we definitely don't like those. Don't like those at all. No ma'am.

 

Until we got that little detail late in this chapter I was starting to wonder if Callie had been exposed to hypnosis that was supposed to be aimed at littles. Either purely by accident or from something in her behavior or something a staff member did triggering a daycare AI into changing her file to list her as a little. "Multiple wet accidents and a messy accident in one week at age six? Heuristic mismatch. Student Callie size matches Big but otherwise matches expected records for a Little. Updating record. Begin targeted hypnosis projections on next visit." I can imagine a version where that's what happened in the rewrite with Kelly losing more points in the team's opinion of her when she loudly objects to the script being rewritten that way to make it more than just a stereotype training buddy story only for the professor and other students to praise the original shock twist in the third act. Well, other than the ones who object to, "Feeding into the obvious paranoia of Littles who want to blame their immaturity on others."

Somehow I expect that the breast milk reveal wasn't in the original and that the daughter was simply "suffering from maturitus" AKA "She acts like a baby because the writer wants to humiliate the actor she already has in mind for the part." Now we just have to wait to find out if the mother is somehow ignorant of a well known side effect of amazonian breast milk, if she knows about it but somehow thought it didn't effect Big children only "naturally immature Mids and Littles who would probably be wetting their pants even without it," or if something more troubling is going on.

[Baby Billy]

Hi, I remember you saying in Exchanged that the normal cut off for an amazon was 102 inches, but could be lower based on their parents like Megan.  About the breast milk I don't think amazon women are programmed to think about that, they just believe the breast feed lilltles need diapers just because they are littles.  Amanada's sister had no problem breast feeding her daughters even though one was 4.  An said as long as she wants it she would continue.😃

Clichés only suck when you do them poorly. My thoughts while reading the script were "yeah I'd watch it".

You can almost see the seams where Charlotte and Sebastian tried to make it less humiliating.

Chapter 67: Ticking Time-Bombs

 

THE EDGESPHERE GOGGLES alerted that someone was trying to get their attention, so everyone found their way back to the real world. Bella, Amanda, and Fred were all there.

“Uh-oh, are we in trouble, Mom?” Shelby asked.

“Should you be?” Her mom asked pointedly.

“…no?” Shelby responded.

Beth rolled her eyes, “We weren’t doing anything to get you in trouble, Shelby. Probably just need to talk to us?”

Fred nodded. “Connor, this is mainly about you. Do you want us to talk to you alone?”

Connor looked at Beth and shook his head, “I trust Beth, and Shelby is family?”

“Okay…” Fred said, “Your Grandma noticed that something was odd on the scans in your bloodstream, and you have a sudden high concentration of a protein that we know is in Big’s breastmilk and causes incontinence.”

“But I haven’t…”

Grandpa shook his head, “We know you haven’t. I guessed it’s probably related to the Plus part of the LittleGo Plus you were dosed with. Your grandmother made some calls, and we got more information on how it works.”

“Somehow, I don’t think I’ll like the sound of this…” I said.

He shook his head, “No, it’s not good. Essentially, the original formula was a laxative, repeating its effects on the body for a few days from one dose. It only affected the bowels of the dosed Little though. The extra mechanism involves a high dose of this Casein Protein E3 in the bloodstream. Those quickly bind to a Pontine Micturition Center in the brain and spine. Normally, it takes a week or so of breastmilk to go to the level this one dose is supposed to deliver in one dose.”

“Oh my God, that’s horrible!” Beth said.

“Yeah, it’s not good,” Grandpa said. “Especially since I worry you got more than a typical dose, too.”

“Wait, I’ve still managed to use the bathroom on my own several times today? I haven’t lost full control?”

He shook his head, “No, and that’s your Grandma’s department.” 

I turned to look back up at her questioningly. 

“Well, you’ve been successful when you have, thanks to your mom’s meddling with your nanites, Connor. The manufacturer didn’t just load up the formula with the protein; they also put nanites producing that protein into the mixture. Your mom figured out a way to use nanites to eliminate the protein, so they’re fighting to eliminate it right now.”

“Is there any way to get rid of the other nanites?” I asked nervously.

Grandma sighed, “I only know of one?”

“Which is?”

“Eliminate all of the nanites that are in your body completely.”

“You mean even the ones I got from Mom?” I asked.

“Yes. All of them.”

I mentally thought in my head of what that could mean to me in this world. I knew a device in our dorm pods caused everyone to begin bedwetting immediately after the break. It was clear my nanites had been pretty effective at blocking that. On the other hand, I’d gotten tripped up by the tap water in our bathroom sink, and that did me in for a night… So they weren’t foolproof. Mom claimed they helped with hypnosis and addiction to breastmilk. 

‘They also get in the way of the transformation you need for the film…’ I thought to myself. 

“I’d lose the protection Mom built in?” I asked tentatively.

“Yes, you would,” Grandma agreed.

“And if I leave it alone?” 

“Well, it looks like they’re not self-replicating nanites. They might very well shut down and pass through your immune system in a week or two?”

“If they don’t?” I asked.

“You will probably lose bladder and bowel control for the rest of your life in about two to three days?”

“I see…”

“Why not just get rid of all of them?” Beth asked.

“Because they’re not just protecting me from losing my continence… Mom programmed them to do other things.”

Beth looked thoughtful for a second, “She gave them to my dad… He said it helped with hypnosis?” 

I nodded, “Among some other things.”

“Might be a good time to bring up the project?” Shelby said. “What would keeping two other sets do with the temp nanites?”

Grandma nodded, “I don’t think they’ll work at all without getting an exception in the code. Actually, I think I messed things up when I allowed the SkinSync nanites to work. That may have created a hole that these new ones exploited.”

“Yeah, that would make sense… Do I have to decide immediately?”

“I would say no later than tomorrow morning?” Grandma said. “After that, we can get rid of the nanites, but I think you’ll have so much build-up of that protein we won’t be able to get rid of it.”

“Can’t you just inject him with other new nanites?” Beth suggested.

Grandma nodded, “We could, but not for at least a few weeks – especially if he’s undergoing changes for the film project?”

Grandpa agreed, “It’d be a lot in the system to do yet another system. If possible, I would say to wait at least another few days to a few weeks before doing anything more. There’s still the other problem of the side effects his mother had after editing her nanites.”

“Changes?” Beth asked.

I felt my face lose color as I thought about Mom’s stories. “She didn’t return to her normal height when she went home. She was stuck the size of a seven-year-old for quite a few years before figuring out a solution.”

“A foolish solution that just about killed her,” Grandma griped.

“So what? You’re worried you’ll shrink when you go home if you meddle too much?”

I nodded, “Mom is pretty sure that’s what did her in.”

There was silence for a few moments before I said, “I probably need to just get rid of all of them… but let me sleep on it?” 

Grandpa nodded, “That seems like a wise plan, Connor. In the meantime, I think I will call it a night here.”

He leaned down and gave me a hug, gave Shelby a hug, and said, “Good night.”

Grandma asked me, “Want help one more time with the potty before I go to bed, too?”

“Please,” I said with a blush. 

“You two want to keep reading after that?” Beth asked.

Shelby nodded, “I have to see just how bad it keeps getting!”

“Why don’t you just plan on staying the night, Shelby?” Grandma said.

“Okay, but Beth is in my room?”

“I’m sure you three can figure it out, or just all three of you have a slumber party down here?”

“That sounds like a plan to me,” Shelby said, “You two?”

I shrugged, “Sure.”

“Okay, we’ll keep going when I get back down,” I said. 

I sat in Grandma’s arms as she carried me upstairs and to the bathroom. As she undid the diaper, I couldn’t help but note that there was a little bit of pee that had escaped without my feeling it. “You’ll have to decide no later than tomorrow, Connor; it may already be too late?”

I nodded but walked to the potty and used it before washing my hands and being lifted onto the changing table. Grandma didn’t grab one of my ‘normal’ diapers then. I noticed that the new diaper was a fair amount thicker. “What’s that one?”

Grandma sighed, “I’m guessing you’ll not want help again from Beth, so I’m just putting you into protection that I can be pretty sure will last until morning.”

“Oh…” 

 

TWENTY MINUTES LATER, Beth found herself sitting on a comfortable bean bag in front of the fire with Connor on her right side, and Shelby curled up on her left side. She could tell from underneath Shelby’s pajamas that she must have changed her own protection to something thicker, too. ‘Not as thick as Connors, though,’ she thought to herself while insisting she not patronizingly pat his adorable diaper butt. ‘The waddle was sadly adorable!’

“At some point, we need to have a proper sleepover, complete with makeovers,” Shelby joked.

“Didn’t we do that last week?” Connor asked. “I still have the makeup on my face to prove it?”

“Wait, that would go away, too, huh?” Beth found herself asking.

“Yeah?” Connor said.

“Aww…” 

Connor looked up at her, “Aww?”

“You look cute in it,” she found herself saying. She squeezed Connor tighter and said, “Come on, let’s keep going and finish reading this script together.”

“On with the show!” Shelby said, and they rejoined their table in the EdgeSphere theater.

 

 

ACT III.

SCENE - CALLIE AND BRIANNA’S BEDROOM 

SARAH ENTERS THE BEDROOM AND SEES BOTH GIRLS SLEEPING SOUNDLY. DECIDING THAT BRIANNA PROBABLY NEEDS A BIT MORE ATTENTION THAT MORNING, SHE STARTS WITH WAKING HER UP. THE LITTLE GIRL IS SOUNDLY ASLEEP EVEN AS SARAH PICKS HER UP AND PLACES HER ON THE CHANGING TABLE. AN OBVIOUS DIAPER CHECK IS MADE, AND SHE SMILES AS SHE POPS OPEN THE ONESIE SNAPS.

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “Come on, Brianna. It’s time to open those
         eyes.” SHE COOS 

                   BRIANNA:
         “Huh? Wha...?” 

IT’S APPARENT THAT BRIANNA REALIZES NOW THAT SHE’S IN THE MIDDLE OF A DIAPER CHANGE. THE DIAPER CHANGE IS SHOCKING BECAUSE SHE’S WET!

                   BRIANNA:
         “How am I wet...?” 

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “You’re a baby girl? Pretty normal?” 

                   BRIANNA:
         “But I’m not...” 

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “Probably the bottles last night. You
         had the chocolate milk and the other
         bottle. That’s a lot more than you
         probably drink before bed? You had a
         stressful day yesterday; don’t worry
         about it!”

                   BRIANNA:
         "Bu..." 

SARAH STUFFS A PACIFIER INTO HER MOUTH.

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “Don’t wake your sister up quite yet
         sweetie.”  

                   BRIANNA:
         UNINTELLIGIBLE MUMBLE 

CARRIES CALLIE OUT OF THE ROOM AND SITS DOWNSTAIRS ON A COUCH.

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “I was planning on taking more
         maternity leave, but something has
         come up in the office. You’ll have to
         go to daycare with Callie this
         morning.” 

BRIANNA REMOVES PACIFIER 

                   BRIANNA:
         “So... what does that mean?” 

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “Well, you’ll be in the Widdle Fawns
         room that they’ve put her in.” 

                   BRIANNA:
         “And that means?” 

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “It’s just daycare. You’ll play, have
         a nap, a diaper change, and lunch; 
         before another nap, more play...” 

                   BRIANNA:
         “That’s it?” 

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “That’s it. The carefree life of a
         toddler.”  

                   BRIANNA:
         “What’s the catch?” 

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “Well, Callie is the biggest girl in
         the room by a long shot, but you
         probably won’t even be the oldest by
         age.” 

                   BRIANNA:
         “So, other Littles?” 

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “At least a few others?” 

                   BRIANNA:
         “I guess this is what I signed up
         for... how long until we can start
         potty-training again?” 

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “Three more weeks, according to the daycare? 
         We’ll try and do most of that here, though,
         to spare them the laundry. I’m hoping to
         take a month off... of course, I didn’t
         plan on going in today either.” 

SARAH SHAKES HER HEAD AND LOOKS ABOUT TO SAY SOMETHING ELSE WHEN A SMALL VOICE RINGS OUT.

                   CALLIE (DAUGHTER):
         “Mommy?”  

SARAH SCOOPS BRIANNA UP, AND THE DAY BEGINS WITH A MONTAGE OF HIGH CHAIRS, SCRAMBLED EGGS AWKWARDLY EATEN WITH TODDLER UTENSILS AND THE TRIP TO THE DAYCARE.

 

SCENE - DAYCARE - WIDDLE LEARNERS

SARAH HOLDS THE HANDS OF BOTH GIRLS SUCKING ON THEIR PACIFIERS WHILE WEARING A DIAPER BAG ACROSS HER SHOULDERS.                  

                   RECEPTIONIST:
         “Oh, well, hello there! I thought
         Callie wouldn’t be joining us again
         for a while?” 

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “I thought so, too, but apparently
         maternity leave will have to wait
         another day here... I have to go into
         the office for a problem.”                  

                   RECEPTIONIST:
         “That’s criminal, you know?” 

                   SARAH (MOM):
         (LAUGHS) “When you’re the boss,
         sometimes it’s not that easy!
         Hopefully, I’ll be back before lunch
         for the girls, but it may be later.                   

                   RECEPTIONIST:
         “Where do you want us to place your
         other daughter...?” 

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “Brianna... I just now realized you
         need forms for her filled out, huh?”                   

                   RECEPTIONIST:
         “Yes, I know it’ll be a delay...” 

CALLIE HAS BEEN PULLING AT HER SKIRT, STARTING TO WHINE. 

                   SARAH (MOM):
         "One moment Callie..." She pats her
         head, “It’s fine... I just want her to
         go with Callie to the Fawn’s class.
         Can they go ahead and go play?”                  

                   RECEPTIONIST:
         “That should be fine...” 

A TABLET IS HANDED TO HER TO FILL OUT THE FORMS WHILE CALLIE AND BRIANNA ARE TAKEN BACK TO A ROOM BY A YOUNG-LOOKING TWEENER WOMAN NOT MUCH TALLER THAN CALLIE. THEY WALK INTO THE ROOM AND ARE GREETED BY A WOMAN IN HER 30S WHO IS WEARING A DAYCARE-EMBROIDERED BLOUSE AND JEANS. 

                   CALLIE (DAUGHTER)
         “Miss Terry! I got a new sister!!!!!” 

                   MISS TERRY (TEACHER)
         “Did you really?!?” SHE COOS AS SHE
         GRABS THE LITTLE GIRL IN A HUG. “Is
         this her?”  

                   CALLIE (DAUGHTER)
         “Uh-huh, Bree, meet Miss Terry! She’s
         the best teacher!!!!” 

BRIANNA NERVOUSLY SHUFFLES BESIDE HER SISTER AND IS INSTANTLY GRABBED IN A HUG BY HER NEW TEACHER. 

                   MISS TERRY (TEACHER)
         “It’s nice to meet you, Callie’s
         sister! Do you have a name?” 

                   CALLIE (DAUGHTER)
         “Bree!!!”  

                   BRIANNA:
         “Brianna,” BRIANNA SAYS SOFTLY. 

                   MISS TERRY (TEACHER)
         “Well, Callie, why don’t you show
         Brianna around and introduced her to
         your friends that are already here?” 

                   CALLIE (DAUGHTER)
         “Okay, Miss Terry!!!!” SHE GRABS
         BRIANNA’S HAND, “Come on!!!”

 

CALLIE DRAGS BRIANNA OVER TO THREE GIRLS WHO ARE A LITTLE TALLER THAN BRIANNA BUT STILL WAY SHORTER THAN CALLIE. A MONTAGE OF QUICK INTRODUCTIONS, FOLLOWED BY THE GIRLS PLAYING WITH DOLLS BEFORE A CIRCLE TIME SONG IS SHOWN. DURING THE CIRCLE TIME, BRIANNA CAN BE SEEN HOLDING HER STOMACH AND LOOKING LIKE SHE’S IN A LITTLE BIT OF PAIN. SCENE FADES OUT.

 

“Welcome to your new hell,” Shelby said.

“Yeah… And a poopy diaper soon, too,” Connor added.

“And I’m sure none of the daycare workers will be overly sweet about her needing a new diaper in front of everyone either?” Beth shook her head.

 

SCENE - SARAH’S OFFICE

SARAH IS SHOWN IN THE CONFERENCE ROOM FRANTICALLY SPEAKING WITH HER STAFF. 

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “What do you mean the whole system has
         gone offline?” 

                   ROB:
         “Someone connected remotely to the
         system today and took the whole thing
         offline. They used the credentials for
         that intern Erin left last month. 

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “You mean you didn’t disable them when
         she turned in her badge?!?” 

                   RANDOM WOMAN MEMBER:
         “Well, to be fair, she didn’t leave
         Miss Ingels... she died in a car
         crash?” 

EVERYONE LOOKED AT HER EXPECTING SARAH TO BLOW, BUT WATCHED HER TAKE A DEEP BREATH.

 

“Probably good to breathe rather than get mad at a dead girl?” Connor laughed.

“That’s a nice way to justify your security hole,” Beth agreed.

“Hopefully, the cast will make some effort, fish facing here, clearly not sure what to say!” Shelby added.

 

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “What do we know about what they did?” 

                   ROB:
         “Well, it looks like they managed to
         delete all of our most recent copies
         of the Kensington Project. I think our
         My only hope is to get ahold of Brian?
         You said he went back home to take
         care of his mom? Any chance we can get
         him back here?” 

                   SARAH (MOM):
         “Doubt it... Let me make some calls.
         In the meantime, force an update to
         everyone’s passwords and plug those
         security holes! Check the offsite
         backups, too; maybe we’ll get lucky
         still, and it’ll be on them...” 

                   ROB:
         “We’ll try...”

 

“Hubris is demoting a talented Little to babyhood right before they’re needed to fix something the Bigs can’t,” Connor said.

“Oopsie,” Shelby agreed.

“I hope they play a good ‘dun-dun-dun’ sound here on the soundtrack,” Beth smiled.

Thanks for reading! Please leave me a Like and a Comment! 

My schedule is about to finally open up in the next couple of days, so hopefully, I'll be able to get some more writing done on this. I've been stuck since my last writing binge a couple of weeks ago, which has me at not quite Chapter 80 now. 

Lots of likes and comments might mean a few bonus chapters as early presents for my readers! Otherwise, I'll post again on Friday of this week!

I always thought that everything was running too smoothly.

Too well.

Unimpressed by the hypnosis and other things.

Now the nanites have to be removed.

Now we've found the stinky diaper.

Now we know why everything will go wrong at some point.

I'm so incredibly excited to see what happens.

But I think McKenzie will be a great mommy for Connor/Callie.

Of course, it wouldn't be a good story if things always ran smoothly. 

You'll have to wait on everything else, thanks for the comments! 🙂

So the nanites are a big problem and have to be removed for a while.  If I remember right Mackenzie was told not to count diaper use for a while because of the attack though.  I wonder if the pod will cause long term effect like breast milk or just while it is being used.  I remember that when Megan first started at Emerson she lost control of bed wetting the first semester and gained it back at home without it.🙂💜

So no nanite shields going forward for a bit. I'm down for this development.
