diaper dimension Lights! Camera! ...What?!? - Chapter 127 - 3/21/2025

[MandaSpiderweb]

Awesome chapter and a sweet spot to hit pause. Beth and Carly just being themselves. Sharing worries and happy thoughts.

I look forward to your return. Will keep wondering what major event takes place to set the girls up where they need to be for a great finish.

Maybe after you finish this story, you could do a sequel to emerald baby. So much more can happen with that story. But I look forward to whatever you write. 

Hope work doesn't kick your booty to hard and you will have down time for what you love.

Hey there !

Have a nice break and came back at writing all refresh and full of devious plots to break our hearts.

Speaking of devious plan is it not just to let us die in anticipation with an ultimate cliffhanger ? 🤔😆

Take care.

Cheers!

Sitting here doing our best to patiently wait for all the shoes to drop. I just know that soon a whole over the door shoe organizer full of shoes is about to drop and make it look like all is doomed. Doom! We'll all be singing the Doom Song along with Gir and Zim.

But yes, hope you're getting some chances to rest and stuff your muse with cookies and cake and ice cream.

Interesting idea!!!!! I always appreciate new torturous ideas for my readers... but I will say killing you all off means no more likes and comments, so don't worry; I don't want any of you dying! 😎

Unfortunately, this time of year is not resting. It's the busiest, which is sadly why I don't tend to write much, if at all. I will take the advice on trying the ice cream approach! 🤣

Thanks for this comment, I'm sorry I haven't responded! I didn't even see it until now. It's been way too many hours at work for over a month now!

@BabySofia

Noticed a small typo in Ch 63 (page 54 in thread) where Sarah says, “I hope you don’t mind sitting in Sarah’s [booster] seat,” when it should be Callie’s booster seat.

A few questions. (1) On your underweight size chart, what do the purple and green squares on the side represent?

(2) What’s your diaper size chart compared to Littles and Amazons? Is it based on height or weight? For example, the size 7 diaper that Cameron wore in “In-Between” was large enough to fit him as an adult Mid, who was about the same height of a 4-year-old Big child.

(3) What’s the conversion factor between standard fluid ounces and Amazonian fluid ounces?

Thanks, I'll try and catch that in the edit process down the road. (very busy time of year for me right now)

Not having looked at it in a bit, I guess that was my guess on when you could fit on the mattress. The green was probably you were that kid being kept in the crib because you hadn't climbed out enough, or maybe it was a toddler mattress you still fit on. (I think that's what was going on)

So this and your next question end up being interrelated. You can't just scale up in height or length, volume and mass have to increase too. My way to try and scale this more accurately was to involve BMI calculations to keep the ratios similar. If you look at a Pamper 7 being for about the average size of a 5 year old+ in little sizes, you scroll over in the chart and get a decent guess that would be 130lbs +. Given that's the lower end, you could figure higher above that. I don't know an exact end point for the weight on them to give you that upper bound.

So again, this becomes a cubic volume problem. My math skills are... marginal at this point. So I used Chat GPT to help set this one up. Here is what I was able to generate with it. Seems logical and correct, but someone with more math skills than me may see an error:

In this alternate dimension where everything is scaled up by 1.875 times, the volume of a sippy cup would also scale up by the cube of the scaling factor (since volume scales with the cube of the linear dimensions).

Given that a sippy cup in our dimension traditionally holds 10 ounces, we can calculate the equivalent volume in the alternate dimension as follows:

New volume=10 ounces×(1.875)3\text{New volume} = 10 \text{ ounces} \times (1.875)^3New volume=10 ounces×(1.875)3

First, calculate (1.875)3(1.875)^3(1.875)3:

(1.875)3=1.875×1.875×1.875≈6.5918(1.875)^3 = 1.875 \times 1.875 \times 1.875 \approx 6.5918(1.875)3=1.875×1.875×1.875≈6.5918

Now, multiply this factor by the original volume:

New volume=10 ounces×6.5918≈65.918 ounces\text{New volume} = 10 \text{ ounces} \times 6.5918 \approx 65.918 \text{ ounces}New volume=10 ounces×6.5918≈65.918 ounces

Therefore, in this fictional dimension, a sippy cup would hold approximately 65.918 ounces.

I prefer to think 32 ounces myself!

That makes sense. Given that Cameron was about 135 pounds at the time—but very underweight for his height—that would put the size 7 (5yr) weight range at about 130-160 pounds before moving into size 8 (6yr) if you look at this quote:

> She grabbed a large box of ‘Size 7’s’ that started just under my weight and went up another thirty pounds before hitting the ‘Size 8’s’ range.

I got curious because Addison said that her mom had put him in a size 5 (3yr) diaper, which would be too small for him if it was rated for about 100+ pounds. And I’m going to assume that size 6 (4yr) would be rated for about 120+ pounds. Correct me if I’m wrong here.

Also, does drinking Amazonian breast milk lead to weight gain? I noticed that Cameron got up to 160 pounds (+25) in seemingly a few weeks after he began drinking Addy’s milk, and the nurse said in Ch 36 that he would hit 185 in no time.

> I would keep a close eye on it, usually once a cute baby girl like this is adopted, the weight goes back to healthy numbers, with a good mommy keeping track and feeding her better.

Yes, very high fat content in the milk causes weight gain. Helps put the 'baby fat' back on the 'babies.' 

[Hollis Fox]

One more question. I’ve been reading through your stories, and I think that I’ve figured out your 32-hour day format. 32:00 / 00:00 is midnight, and then there are 15 AM hours. 16:00 is noon, and then there are 15 PM hours.

As you’ve mentioned before in your stories, Littles go to bed at around 24:00 / 8PM, if they haven’t had any daytime naps, and sleep for about 14-15 hours, waking up at around 06:00-07:00. In “Seems Too Good,” Ivy tells Holly that most Amazon adults go to bed at around 30:00-31:00 / 14-15PM.

Does this mean that Mids and Bigs only need about 7-8 hours of sleep, compared to Littles needing almost double that?

In my mind that’s correct. Kind of like how adults in our world can get by with 5-6 hours but babies are around 14 or more depending on age.

Sums it up pretty much. I try to sleep about 7-8 hours, but 5-6 hours is also ok

Makes sense to me!

I’ve been trying to look back, but I haven’t found yet what the Little earlier bedtime got set to? Which chapter was that? After it was lifted, the curfew was set for 26:00 / 10PM and last-call for the nests got extended to 27:00-28:00 / 11-12PM.

If 24:00 / 8PM was the usual standard, then would 6-7PM be the “ridiculously early” bedtime?

[flowerdaddy22]

Ooommmmgggggg a BabySofia work and it's even longer than the entire Exchanged trilogy!!!! 😅😅😅😅

Thank you so much for writing these amazing stories for us to read! I finally got all caught up on this after starting some time in December last year if I recall correctly! When you decide to finally tackle that story you know is gonna be good and realize it's a whole 125 chapters long! 😅 Haha, you were probably able to track my reading progress via the notifications, as I usually leave a little trophy instead of a boring heart xD

But ooh boy does our Baby Sofia deserve some corner time for those cliff hangers! I'm glad I binge read it all now...

Anyway - where to start? I could talk a lot, but with a story this long it starts to get difficult to remember all the specifics from the beginning 😂

As soon as the foreshadowing about Connor being trans started, I was wondering whether the real reason he went to the dimension was because he secretly hoped some kind of "accident" would turn him into a girl, like it did for Stacy - I guess the gamble paid off! 

Also, well done brushing the whole incident under the rug, I can't believe no one even bothered to try and figure out a solution and just kind of went "oopsie, guess he's a girl now, let's get on with it" 

 

Even Amanda seems to have forgotten she wanted to do something about reinstating Carly's potty training - or is that just on hold pending some off-camera scientific research we don't get to see happen? 

Those Nanites are actually a disaster, they sound even worse than the microplastics or PFAS problems us littles are dealing with. I can't imagine having them self-replicate is a remotely good idea if there's a new version coming out every couple of years. That's just bound to cause issues. 

I would never have guessed there even was such a thing as a global kill switch implemented to turn them off - though the fact it somehow didn't really work for Stacy's means that feature was only implemented superficially at best, which doesn't surprise me in the least. Probably added as an afterthought. Normally in industrial design E-stop switches and other safety features are purposely implemented at such a basic hardware level there is simply no way for the machine to keep running after someone hit the kill switch. Hmmmm. 

On that note, a tiny criticism I have is the scene where Amanda deactivated Connors nanites - having them ooze out of all pores as a grey goo is very unrealistic, even if it sounds great in the story 😂

Much more likely they would simply all become inert and slowly be flushed out of the body over the next few weeks through sweat/urine/tears and other bodily excretions. 

But that's nitpicking, which arm hair authors like myself should never do... 

Anyway, it was definitely weird to see the Westerfield family grown old like that, with Megan now married with kids and all... Loved the story of how Bella ended up having kids by the way! Shelby and Beth are my favorite characters! I really hope nothing bad is going to happen to Shelby, that would be really sad. I know bad things are going to happen to our main characters, but I also know everything's going to work out in the end because they're the main characters after all 😜

Plus they've had their way paved by their big-shot parents; things are unlikely to go south the traditional way if every Amazon pees themselves for fear at their mention! 

It's a good thing Beth didn't end up too similar to her former self - I was slightly worried things might become awkward if you picked that character up again, but she ended up with essentially a new personality and some similarities to Addison like I would expect.

Back to the nanites.. Stacy's work had some serious side effects I'd say! I wonder if we'll ever find out why they keep shrinking people with bigger changes. Is there some bug in the code that Stacy missed? Either way I don't think never touching the code again isn't really a solution. Worst case they could grow the person again the way Stacy managed to? Might want to try that on a fully regressed little as a guinea pig  first though... 

Which brings me to a slight continuity error - at the beginning of the story it was stated that Amanda could never freely speak to Stacy about the nanites because the portal communications were monitored - now towards the end Carly had no problems disclosing sensitive info to Stacy over private video calls via her phone?? If that was the case Amanda could easily get a hold of Stacy to discuss the  nanites and "fix" Connor?

Anyway, just some thoughts I had, it's a great story! Glad it took me so long to get through it because that means any day now we should get an update?! You said end of January/mid-February is the time you normally get the chance to write again.. In either case I agree with the others here, don't burn yourself out! We'll all be patiently waiting for things to continue no matter what :)) 

And thanks for not leaving us hanging with the worst cliffhanger ever for this hiatus 😂

Otherwise you would've deserved a serious spanking and I would have to chip in for Moon3ys concrete order! 😈😈

Microplastics were an inspiration for this issue actually. 🙂

You're not wrong here... At some point I'll edit it and maybe bring in a fact that Connor brought over an encryption set from Stacy that could work with them finally...? You're not wrong on the plot hole. I'm going on three years this year of writing it, so it's unfortunately quite doable to have them! I'll make a note of this one!

I actually managed to write about 1,000 words on this novel the other day, so hopefully this weekend I can get things to pick up there. Once I can get 6 chapters ahead, I'll start posting one a week until I've either finished writing it, or I hit the end of what I've written again.

Yaay new chapters! I'm following this thread now, so I think you can count on at least a short comment from me on every chapter from now on 

Not like it's no fun dissecting and discussing stuff with the community, I just usually read primarily in the completed story section to avoid abandoned stories...

I mean, I can totally relate - there's a not quite 2 chapter-long corpse of a vanilla sci-fi kicking around on my own Google drive... Could serve as a great base for a diaper story if I ever decide to come back to it for a complete overhaul - might be the only way to muster the motivation to fix the inherent problems with the premise of my plot... 

But I would definitely have to post it after it's completed so no one gets invested in vain.

[BabySofia]

So I just thought I'd give everyone a heads up - I'll start posting some new chapters this Friday! I'm making progress this week on writing, and finally have enough chapters in the can I'm hopeful I can make it at least a couple months with weekly postings. Unless I finish writing the whole novel I won't start posting more than once a week though at this point. 

Anyway, just wanted to give everyone a heads up in case you feel like you need to go back a ways and refresh your memory! Thanks for the support! 🙂

[BabySofia]

And now the season premiere of Lights, Camera, ...What?!? 

Chapter 126: Back to the Grind

BETH WAS FEELING overwhelmed still, even as they started preparing for bed that evening. Carly wanted to hang out with her in her room for a bit, but Amanda insisted they both get some sleep before the school week began.

Unfortunately, that meant she would have to wait at least until the weekend for another of the amazing massages Carly had given her! ‘Who would have dreamt little hands like hers could have that much strength?’

As she drifted off to sleep, she couldn’t help but want the week ahead to fly by so she could be back at Amanda’s with Carly!

It seemed like she blinked, and Nikki was walking her to her dorm even as Amanda took Carly back to hers.

She’d finally felt like she was following along with the logic professor, even maybe feeling ahead thanks to Carly. She exited and found Carly waiting outside the door doing her cute ‘I need a diaper change’ dance.

‘Stop that,’ she told herself. ‘No giving into those instincts.’

“How was class?” she asked Carly, even as she scooped her up into her arms and walked to the nearest women’s restroom. Fortunately, her muscles and joints mostly felt back to normal that day!

She sighed, “It was good, not much new today. I think Professor Turing is pulling back a bit on the material since so many people bombed our first exam.”

“Oh,” she smiled at her as she sat her atop the changing table, “But not you?” she smirked and couldn’t help but tickle her exposed belly a second later.

“Beth…” Carly whined.

“Sorry,” she shook her head to clear it, “I don’t know why I’m like this today?”

Carly made a face but didn’t reply.

“What?” She asked as she pulled her skirt back down and smoothed her outfit.

“I’ve lived around my sisters and moms long enough, I don’t want to say?”

“Huh?”

“It’s been about a month since you were last like this,” Carly told her with a sigh. “I’m guessing you’re about to start your period?”

Beth looked at her watch and saw the date, “Damn… Sorry, Carly!”

“It’s okay,” she told her as she leaned in and squeezed her in a hug. “We’ll have to get used to it?”

Beth found her squeezing her tighter and not letting her down as they walked to Marconi for their next class. “Have fun with holograms,” she told Carly, leaving her to go to her own class.

“Enjoy the waves; hope your test comes back good!”

It was only at that moment she remembered her test from Friday. Professors at Emerson were a mixed bunch. Some would just auto-grade tests and post them to their online grade books. Still, others had this weird desire to be present when displaying their student’s successes… or failures and wouldn’t release the tests to them until they were in class. Her fields and waves professor was one of the antiquated professors, and thirty seconds into class, she was staring at her ninety-eight percent score with a smile.

“This test was a mixed bag from you all,” her professor said to one of the larger classes she knew she’d have left in her degree. The fifty-student class all seemed to be grimacing or smiling, not much in between! “From what I can tell, about fifteen of you are truly spending the time studying and doing well. If you scored a ninety or better on the exam, that includes you.” He looked around, “For those who scored seventy or less, you need to come to see me during office hours or seek out a tutor. You have another test and final exam to correct your grades…”

Beth gulped, hating this professor for following the three grades determining your future tradition! Still, she was grateful she wasn’t one of the students he was talking to. ‘Thanks, Carly,’ she whispered as the professor moved on to a new part of the material.

 

I SAT IN my HoloFields class, taking in some new information that again sounded like a foreign language. Fortunately, my classmates seemed lost, too, so they kept asking the same questions I was thinking. That meant by the end of class, I felt like I understood the new material!

I left class and noted I had a message on my phone from Charlotte, ‘Studio Three, we have a new draft of the project with music added and sound effects. I spoke with Wyler, and he’s going to let us have the last half of class to work on projects; we’ll watch it then. Please bring your notes tomorrow to help track the last changes we can have Carly and Beth make!’

I looked up and realized Beth and Nikki were there, “Did you see Charlotte’s message?” I asked her as she picked me up and hugged me before setting me on her hip.

“Yeah, I’m glad we’re almost done with this horrific project!”

“Met too!” I told her, “Once we turn it in, we just have to watch it at the film festival, and we can forget about it!”

She squeezed me before a hand moved and checked my diaper.

“You could ask,” I sighed.

“Sorry,” she blushed. “You don’t need a change yet, but I think I need to go to the ladies’ room before we head to lunch?”

“Okay,” I told her, leaning my head on her shoulder.

It wasn’t far to a restroom, and she handed me off to Nikki inside, “Here,” she told her.

Nikki shook her head and whispered to me, “Do I need to hold you?”

I laughed, “Feel free to put me down…” I whispered then, “Her hormones are in overdrive…”

She smiled, “In that case, I better not anger her by neglecting you.”

When Beth exited the stall, she said, “Thank God I refilled my supplies last week; I’d forgotten it was that time already.”

A part of me was still dealing with being a part of the sisterhood with this open dialogue, and I just kept quiet as she washed her hands and then took me back from Nikki. “Ready for some lunch?”

“Where to?”

“Student Union today?”

I nodded, and we soon sat down to eat at a table when I heard, “Can I join you guys?” from below the tall chair I sat in.

“Hi, Mia,” I said to her. “Sure!”

She looked a little doubtfully at the tall chair that was free. “Here,” Beth said, grabbing her tray of food from her and placing it on the table. “Thanks,” she said just before Beth picked her up and sat her on the chair.

She blushed, “Umm… thanks for the lift.”

“Beth…” I warned her with a roll of my eyes.

“I…” She said, with understanding in her eyes, “Sorry about that, Mia… Apparently, my brain is a bit wacky today.”

Mia shrugged, “No more so than anyone else I have classes with.”

“What are those like?” I found myself nervously asking.

“Well, I’m taking two psychology classes right now. One is a psychology class for education majors, and the other is for adolescent psychology.” She took a fry from the box in front of her and ate one. “The adolescent psychology one is interesting because they completely diverge in how they discuss Littles from Betweeners and Bigs in their development?”

“How?” I asked. “Like talking about how Littles aren’t really growing up or something?”

She nodded, “Sort of? We had this long discussion today about Bigs and some Tweeners apparently suddenly lactating in middle school?”

I heard a sigh beside me where Nikki sat, “Yep, totally happens!”

I looked at her and then back at Mia, “So?”

“So they discussed this whole concept of mothering instincts for the entirety of the class for Bigs. Apparently, my professor is currently studying an increase in some catalysts, which means that Bigs in Ames are also highly protective of Littles versus some other regions?”

I held my tongue but knew where she would need to look for that.

“I’ve heard about this theory,” Nikki said.

“Whatever it is, I’m glad some better laws have been getting passed here,” Beth said.

“What about Littles?” I asked curiously.

“Well… it’s almost like discussing normal teens back home, except they seem to emphasize the opportunities that ‘regressive behavior’ appears. I’m the only Little in the class, and I feel like every time she says that, she looks at me.”

I nodded, “Scary. Your other classes?”

“Well, the only one I really hate right now is the practicum-based class going into the university daycare?”

“You go inside there?” I heard Beth say, even as my own voice joined in.

“Yeah…” She said, “It’s been a little scary.”

“Umm… Like, so have you seen our classmates?” I asked nervously.

She took a breath and nodded, “Yeah, it hasn’t been pretty. The only good thing is they’ve kept me mostly in actual babies’ classrooms, not the Littles. I can’t tell you how many times, though, I’ve had to keep them from pushing me to go join their classroom as one of the ‘babies.’”

“If you could drop that class still, I’d tell you to do so,” Nikki said with a sigh, “Unfortunately, you’d probably forfeit your status as being in good standing.”

She nodded, “That’s what I was told when I asked.” She shrugged, “For now, I’m just following a couple of local’s advice and keeping my head down.”

I nodded.

“Oh,” she said suddenly, “I forgot to ask you while we’re free of any listening nest moms…?”

I felt a bit nervous at that, “Yes?”

“Remember Lilly’s birthday is Thursday? We have those onesies for it?”

I turned tomato red, thinking of them, “Yes?”

“We need your help with a couple things?”

“Okay?” I said. “I’ll try?”

“We know Mackenzie is her best friend. Do you think you could recruit her to keep her away until we’re ready for her party?”

With a shrug, I said, “Probably? What else do you need?”

“Any chance you can help us get a cake and ice cream? Someone mentioned that the delivery services might mess with anything if we order it to the dorm?”

“I could see that,” I agreed, “I’ll get my grandmother to help me with that. Anything you want for the cake?”

“If it’s possible to get like a unicorn printed on it?” She then added, “Pink, sparkly? Anything like that?”

“So, over the top like all the decorations in the nest?”

“Exactly!”

“Why are we adding to her maternal fantasy here?” I asked her.

“You and I both know she’s the sweetest of them, and she deserves a bit of a reward for not completely degrading us every two seconds?” She grimaced, “Let’s just say the last one I wouldn’t have done this for?”

I sighed, “I’ll talk to Grandma; I’m sure we can make that happen.”

“Thanks!” she smiled. “The other girls have some jobs, too, but you have the biggest.”

We all talked about other, safer topics for the rest of lunch before Beth picked me up out of my seat, sat me on the ground, and then helped Mia down, too. “I know Carly needs a change. Do you need one too, Mia?” She asked.

Mia turned red, “I’m good; I’m going to head back to the dorm for a bit. I don’t have a class again for a couple hours.”

“Okay, see you later then!” Beth told her while picking me up, “Let’s go get your soggy pants changed.”

“Beth…” I whined.

“Oops…” she said, “Sorry Carly, hopefully by the weekend I’ll calm down…”

“I can only hope,” I shook my head, “every month is going to get old, you know?”

“Sorry,” she said, “I’ll try and resist. I guess now I can understand how my mom gets.”

Twenty minutes later, I was in my analysis class and grateful to be distracted by number theories to forget the embarrassing walk from lunch to the building. Beth had been unable to keep from tickling me and teasing me on the walk and diaper change, leaving me red and wondering what treatments could be out there to tame her hormones!

 

BETH BLUSHED A bit as Nikki told her, “Carly would probably appreciate you being a bit more… reserved?” as she walked her to her classroom.

She sighed, “I’ll apologize later, I don’t understand why this is happening to me?”

Nikki shrugged, “They do make some supplements that can repress some of it?”

“Huh?”

“It’s how I deal with it?” Nikki told her.

Before she could ask her more, they were sitting down in her Calculus class. She was soon dealing with equations that made her head spin, even while she knew Carly would probably just smile and show her how easy it was for her. ‘She’s definitely not normal!’

By the time the class finished, she was prepared with her apology, which, thankfully for her sake, was readily accepted by Carly, “Don’t worry about it,” she sighed.

Through dinner, she did everything she could to not pick up Carly, want to wipe off the pasta sauce on her face that she accidentally placed on her cheek, or anything else. As they walked her back to her nest afterward, Carly said, “Thanks for trying to hold back, Beth; I appreciate it.”

“Sorry for earlier,” she said sheepishly. “I can’t believe you figured out my period was starting before me,” she whispered to her, kneeling in front of her beside the dorm.

“Like I said earlier, I grew up in a house of five women!” She smirked, “I guess when I get back, it’ll be six…”

“Could be dangerous,” Beth found herself smirking. She hugged Carly, “I might try to talk to you virtually later?”

“Sounds good,” she told her with a smile.

With that, she watched her pint-sized girlfriend walk inside her dorm and began walking to her own.

“You’re not going anywhere else tonight, are you?” Nikki asked her as she walked her inside her dorm.

“Not planning on it?”

“I’m going to go ahead and take care of some stuff at home then; if, for some reason, that changes, call me?”

“Of course,” Beth said. “After this weekend, it’s not like I feel safe elsewhere…”

Nikki gave her a concerned expression, “Make sure you talk about that with your counselor tomorrow.

Beth made a face but nodded, “I will.”

As she closed the door behind Nikki and locked it, she couldn’t help but feel her mood fall a bit at the reminder of the weekend. After changing into a pair of comfy pajamas, she forced herself to look at her Signals book to make sure she was ready for class the next day on her bed while cuddling Rings.

 

AS I WALKED into Sanders Hall, I saw Mackenzie standing to the side, looking up occasionally from a tablet.

“Hi, Miss Mackenzie,” I said to her, remembering my assignment from Mia.

“Well, hi, Carly!” She said with a smile, kneeling down and giving me a hug. “How was your weekend?”

“Umm… honestly, not so good?”

“Oh?”

“Long story… Umm… do you have a minute we could talk somewhere?”

“Oh?”

“My nest needs your help with something,” I whispered.

She smirked, “Sure! Let’s go into the study room, I don’t think anyone is in there!”

I’d nearly forgotten the ‘study room’ on the first floor that most people avoided. It was decorated like a kindergarten classroom, complete with wall charts of ‘ABCs,’ animals, and more. She hadn’t even bothered showing it to us on our initial tour; one of the other Littles had told me about it. She walked over to a corner, sat on a rug fit for a daycare, and motioned for me to join her.

“What’s up?” She asked with a smile, “Something for Miss Lilly?”

I nodded, “Our nest wants to surprise her with a little party Thursday night. Could you keep her away from six in the afternoon until eight?”

“I guess it depends?” she asked.

“On?”

“Am I invited to this party?”

I sighed in relief, “We figured you would be there since you’re her best friend?”

“Aww,” she said with a smile, “I’m in.”

Without warning, she gathered me in her arms and hugged me. “I miss having you in our nest!” She ran a hand through my hair, which we had left loose that day with just a bow pinned on top. “No one has hair like yours anymore?”

I laughed, “Sorry.”

A hand surreptitiously squeezed my diaper, “Well, if that’s all you needed, let’s change this diapee and get you to your nest. I’m sure you have studying to do?”

I blushed but nodded. After a change in the downstairs changing room, Mackenzie carried me upstairs and deposited me in my nest. Lilly and she disappeared into her room for a bit, and Mia came over, “Did she agree?”

“She’s onboard,” I told her.

“Thanks, Carly. The cake?” She asked quietly.

“I’ll work on that next.”

She hugged me quickly, “Thanks, Carly, you’re the best!”

I shook my head and opened my computer to work on a few tweaks to my next assignment for my screenwriting class. ‘Betrayal,’ I thought, ‘Not my kind of topic.’ Someone suggested the other day that I do another episode of Diaper Diaries. I snorted and quickly passed that suggestion. I’d scrapped a few ideas in the last week, and with the project being due on Thursday, I needed to get something down that stuck.

I started thinking and found myself drawn to the story Shelby had told me the other day about her friend.

‘I couldn’t, could I…?’

I was wondering if there was any way I could actually turn in the script, but once the idea was in my head, I couldn’t help myself. I began writing about the friendship of a trio of friends made up of a Big, a Tweener, and a Little. The Little one day has a bad run of luck and gets adopted by the Big.

I scratched through that idea; I just didn’t like that one.

Instead, I added another character who was another friend of the trio and typically made them a quartet. That second Big poisoned both the Little and the Tweener, and Crumbled Friendship took shape as a script…

I was only vaguely aware of my nestmates gradually drifting off to their open pods as the lights dimmed in the room, and I felt a hand on my shoulder.

“What you working on?” Lilly asked me.

“Huh?” I said, looking up at her, “Oh, sorry, an assignment for my screenwriting class. I’ve done three scripts, and this is the first one I think has made me feel like it’s good.”

“You about done?”

I shrugged, “I think I have two more pages here?”

“Why don’t you finish them and then come to my room, and I’ll get you in your night diapee and jammies?” A hand invaded my skirt, “I think that will just about last until then…”

I blushed, “Okay.”

I was quickly back into a rhythm with my writing. I saved a backup after I wrote my final scene directions, as their Big friend had to adopt them to save them from the backstabbing friend. ‘Kind of like how Aunt Megan adopted my cousin Meggy,’ I thought as I finished.

I then walked to Lilly’s room and found her on the couch, reading a tablet.

“All done?”

“Except proofreading,” I told her. “I’ll do that tomorrow.”

“When’s it due?”

“Thursday, this was pushing it a little late for me.”

“You’re still two days early?” She asked as she stood up, picked me up, and sat me on her hip.

“I try to be a little earlier with these assignments,” I added, “last thing I want is demerits?”

She squeezed me in a hug and placed me on the changing table. I was soon dressed in a dry diaper and a set of pajamas Aunt Bella had made for me with unicorns on them that she assured me would be the nest mother’s very favorites to dress me in!

“These are adorable,” she commented.

“I’ll tell my aunt she was right,” I shook my head.

“She’s the one who made the girl’s swimsuits?”

I nodded, “she’s good at that stuff.”

“Well, why don’t you head off to bed?”

“I’m going to do one other thing real quick, and then I’ll head there,” I told her.

“Well, I’ll do one last check on you all in about an hour,” she told me, setting me on the floor with a gentle pat to my diapered rear.

“Okay,” I told her.

I grabbed my EdgeSphere glasses next and logged on. I sent a message to Grandma then that I needed to talk to her while also letting Beth know I was on. Grandma’s giant avatar came on first, “You need something, Carly?”

I sighed, “I’ve been put in charge of finding a safe cake for a party for our nest mother. Any chance you could pick one up?”

“Sure! I bet I can come up with something. When do you need it?”

“Can you drop it off for us Thursday after dinner? Mackenzie is supposed to keep Lilly occupied so we can set up the surprise party.”

“Got it!” Grandma said, “You’re all going to wear those adorable onesies?”

I nodded, glad my digital face didn’t turn red!

“Cute! Well, I’ll take care of this project for you. You have a couple of appointments tomorrow after your first class that your grandpa set up for you. Make sure you wait outside for me or your grandpa if you don’t see one of us right away.”

“Okay, goodnight,” I told her, “I love you.”

“Love you too!” she said and hugged my avatar before disappearing.

As she left, Beth came on, and we chatted for about fifteen minutes before she said, “Carly, we’d both better head to bed. It’s going to be a long day tomorrow.”

“Yeah,” I sighed, “See you tomorrow.”

“Good night, I love you, Carly.”

“Love you too,” I told her.

I sat my glasses on my desk then and climbed into the pod, noting that my diaper was already a little squishy, but knowing the nighttime diapers would hold even with that, I just grabbed Kylie. I hugged her like she was Beth and drifted off to sleep.

Thanks for reading! Please press the Like Button and leave me a comment!!! 

I appreciate everyone's patience as I had no time/energy to write on this for a good 8 months this past year. I'm finally finding myself back in the groove this week and have eight more chapters 'in the can' already beyond this. I'm going to be posting once a week unless I build a serious pile of chapters, just because I don't want there to be pauses again until this monster is done!

Last night LCW passed 400k words in length, and I'll pass 1,000 pages in my word document soon. This will obviously be published as multiple volumes when I publish! As of right now, I expect to write another 200-300k words to finish Carly and Beth's tale here.  

Please do your part to cheer on the parts. I truly love seeing your comments and likes, and they help me make it worth it! Once I publish I don't get rich off of it since I keep sharing for free. If you haven't purchased any of my published versions, that's a great way to support my writing (and keeping from a second job)! https://www.amazon.com/author/babysofia If you have, please make sure you pressed a 5 star review rating, those help the algorithms bring up stories when people search. 

Above all, thank you all for your community. I genuinely enjoy that we can all share stories together on this site!

Yay it's back! Let me just get the popcorn...

I'm wondering is Beth's Amazon DNA from Addison is contributing to her current behavior?

Crumpled Friendships huh? I wonder where that one is gonna go.
