Handyman Dan

Chapter 1
Handyman Dan

Dan was a handy man he was getting older and hoped to retire in a few more years. He was widowed a few years ago and become very reclusive. He was very respected in the community as one of the best handymen around. Most people liked and trusted him, they never worried about him being in their home while they were at work or anything. He had a lot of return clients that would call on his services whenever they needed.

He received a call for a lady her had not done work for previously her name was Ann. He set up a time with her to meet and see what she was looking to have done. At the time agreed he arrived at a very modest but neat and clean looking home. It was on the edge of town and the only home on a dead end street. As he arrived her noticed some toddler toys in the yard so he figured she must have little ones. He reached the door and rang the doorbell. A young lady maybe 25 or so came to the door and they introduced themselves to each other. She invited him inside and they went towards the basement. Once there she showed Dan how she wanted to finish the basement with a large family room and a spare bedroom. He took his measurements and asked her specific questions as to her preferences. She seemed happy with his ideas and asked him to please give her an estimate on the work.

As he was getting ready to leave he asked how many kids she had. She laughed slightly and said she had none at this time, that she babysat. He thought that she must babysit a lot because she had a nursery set up in a basement area that was next to the area he was estimating to remodel. As he was leaving she touched his arm and said that she looked forward to his estimate and him doing the work as soon as possible. He felt strange when she touched his arm bit did not think much of it. He drove away in his old beat up truck and headed home. He could not stop thinking of the project he was about to estimate nor could he get the young lady off his mind. That was strange for him because he really never thought a lot about the others he had worked for over the years.

Dan worked his estimate up for Ann’s project and called her to tell her what he had come up with. She asked if he could just come by and they could discuss it further. He agreed and took his paperwork and drove back to her home the following morning. Arriving there she was at the door when he arrived and greeted him inviting him inside. They sat at the kitchen table and began discussing the estimate and the project. Dan saw in the kitchen a highchair several baby bottles and jars of baby food. Assuming she must be watching a baby he thought nothing of it. They talked for almost 30 minutes about the ideas and the money involved. Ann agreed to the price and offered Dan a cup of coffee, which he accepted. As they were drinking their coffee she was telling him how she loved babies and was looking forward to having a baby of her own on day. She did also mention that she liked living alone and really did not want a man in her life, just babies. Being polite Dan did not say what was on his mind but was thinking that it would be a lot easier to have a man to give her the baby she wanted. He left her home and agreed he would start her project the following Monday.

Monday arrived and Dan got to Ann’s about 8 am to get things started he unloaded his needed tools. He told he had materials being delivered sometime around 10 am. He did what he needed to do to ready himself for the delivery and was done about 9:30 and was now just waiting. She offered him coffee again and they sat and chatted. It seemed all she could talk about was having a baby and how she would take care of a baby. He thought she was obsessed with babies. He also noticed that there seemed to be more baby things than before but still he neither saw nor heard any kids or babies. As the delivery truck arrived he got up to let the men know where to put the materials Ann again touched his arm and said," I know this is going to be great and we will get along just fine." Dan agreed to her statement and went on about his business.

The materials were now all in the basement where they were to be used and Dan sat back to relax a moment. He commented to Ann,"glad that’s done that really wears me out anymore. Getting old is not what it is cracked up to be." Ann laughed and said that she was sure it wasn’t and that he should take a break before starting to build. Ann Spoke," wouldn’t it be great if we could go back and be young again, as young as we wanted?" Dan replied," Well maybe but then you would have to come back thru all those years again, not sure it would be worth it." She smiled," True but what if you could be young and not have to age again, stay that age for ever?" "That could be interesting for sure but it may get old also being one age forever," he commented. Dan got up and said he better get to work or he would never get done. As he worked she would often come and bring him drinks and sometimes snacks. She sometimes would sit and watch as he expertly went about his job.

During the next 2 weeks he had become fond of Ann, kind of seeing her as a daughter. But he did find it strange there was never any children around that she was babysitting. It also seemed strange to him but he worked harder and faster on this project than he had any others in years. He felt as tho he had more energy than he had just a few weeks ago. He had been working longer days and lifting material with ease. But he just shrugged it off as enjoying Ann’s company seeing her like a daughter made him feel younger more energetic he thought. He did the final touches and the project was complete. She was very happy with the results and complimented him on his craftsmanship. She said that now she had to get it furnished and move somethings around in her home. She asked," How much would you charge me extra to assist me with setting somethings up and moving some things." He replied,"well I really do not have any pressing projects right now so it would be a pleasure to help." He liked knowing he would get to spend just a little more time with her.

The next morning he arrived to assist her and she was ready with coffee as usual. They spent the day carrying boxes and furniture to the basement and setting the family room up. Then she had a bedroom set delivered and set it in the bedroom he had built in the basement. The next day he returned and they began putting the boxed items in their place. In the corner of the family room she had a large toy box and some of the boxes were little children’s toys that they put in the toy box. They had pretty well emptied out a bedroom upstairs of everything. Ann was looking at the room,"What would it take to get you to paint this room for me," she asked? He told her,"oh if you will help me maybe a $200 and you buy the paint." She agreed and said she would have the paint by the next morning.

When he returned the following morning ready to paint he brought his painting supplies and took them into the room. She had the paint there and ready to be used. Dan started to cover the floor with painters tarps and she stopped him saying that she was going to replace the carpet so no need to worry about the carpet. Dan first got the ceiling paint out and began to cut in the corners of the room and removed the light fixture. It was just regular ceiling white paint and you could tell that the ceiling was for sure dingy and needed the painting. The ceiling was rolled and finished and Dan began taping off the trim and removing wall plates for the walls. Ann open the can of paint and stirred it. It was baby blue and she commented on how she loved baby blue and what she called baby pink. Dan just smiled at her and said they were nice colors for a nursery he guessed. She said,"yes they are and this is going to be the new nursery when it is done. It is adjoined to my room so better for having a baby in, easier for me to get to the baby as needed. Dan thought to himself true but you have no babies and he had not seen any in the three weeks he had been there. They finished the painting and sat down and had a glass of tea. As they say there she showed him some nursery borders and asked which one he liked. He first thought he was not good at that kind of thing but as he looked at the samples he found one he did really like, strangely. It was a winnie the pooh border with a cloudy baby blue sky background. For some reason he felt attracted to it and it made him feel strange but also good.

He returned the next day as before and they put up the border he had chosen in the nursery. Once the border was finished she led him to the back porch where there were boxes of furniture. It was all baby furniture except for a rocking chair. He helped her assemble and arrange the furniture in the nursery. She had a crib, changing table, playpen, bassinet, baby swing all were in a winnie the pooh theme. She had curtains and bedding to match with the pooh theme also. Then she had a stroller, walker, and highchair and they were placed in the nursery ready for use. Ann then brought in a box and it contained all kinds of new baby toys and a mobile for the crib. Also there was a video baby monitor that he helped her set up to view the crib. Once all was done in the nursery she stood back and seemed pleased with the way the room was. "Well what do you think of the nursery Dan, think a baby would be happy here," she asked? He replied," It is a cute nursery, I would think any little baby boy would love it." He could not help but think she had no baby and she sure did not look to be expecting any baby. But it was none of his business so he said nothing.

They sat at the kitchen table and she said she figured she had better get him paid for all he had done. She offered him a glass of tea and he accepted. He wrote out an invoice for her and gave her the total she owed him. He took a sip of his tea and it tasted different kind of strange. She saw the look on his face and told him it was a new teas she was trying. He told her it was different but he liked it. He handed his invoice to Ann and she took a look at it and sat it on the table. They were drinking their tea and talking about the nursery and Dan said he really should be on his way. Ann asked him not to leave and stay and have some more tea. He told her he would have one more glass as it was very good. She smiled at Dan but it was different smile than normal, very soft gentle smile and the way she looked at him seemed different. Dan suddenly had an odd feeling in his stomach not bad just different. He could not tell it but the lines and wrinkles were leaving his face and that was the reason for her smile. Dan finished the second glass of tea with one big gulp and sat the glass down. That is when he noticed his hand looked younger less beat up for years of work. It also seemed smaller for some reason. He started to realize that the table seemed to be getting closer to his face and he had his arms higher to keep them on the table. " What’s going on her i feel younger and like I am shrinking or everything is getting bigger around me," he asked? " Yes sweetie you are getting younger and smaller, in fact much younger and much smaller. I told you it was time for to pay you what I owed you so I am giving you what your invoice showed," She said. He looked over as she slid the invoice back in front of Dan. He looked it over and his eyes opened wide and mouth dropped as her read these words where it said amount owed, "MAKE ME YOUR BABY BOY." "I didn’t write that what are you doing to me, I don’t want to be a baby," he screamed. "Well little one you have no choice, I need a baby and you picked your own nursery so you will be happy. You are getting younger and smaller and will until you are a newborn infant and be my baby boy. You see the coffee and tea you have been drinking here have been laced with a special anti-aging formula. The last two glass of tea you had were the final and most potent dosages. Do not worry you will be well taken care of and at least for the first 4 or 5 months you will be able to understand and communicate but not be able to do anything else except what a baby at your age can do." Dan panicking," But why me, look at me I can barely see across the table sitting here in this chair. And i am an old man looking forward to retiring." "Well now baby you get to retire early and have nothing to worry about, momma will take car of everything, including your diapers," She said.

She got up from her chair and went to Dan and picked him up from the chair. He was maybe about the size of a normal three year old now. She knew that within the next few hours he would be just what she wanted a newborn infant. As she picked him up she headed for the nursery knowing he would be a baby soon. " Well baby, momma better get her little one diapered before we have a big mess,HUH Danny." "No please not diapers I am a man not a helpless baby, please no diapers." "AWWWW sweetie all babies have to wear diapers I am sure you know that. After I get you diapered and dressed momma will fix you a nice warm bottle of formula." She lay the now baby Danny down on the dressing table and strapped him down as she would any baby. She then took out a pamper and showed it to him teasing that this would be his first of many many diapers. She slid the diaper under him then powdered him and fastened the diaper. She picked out a cute outfit that would fit him at least for now and put it on him. He tried to struggle but did not have the strength to fight her off. Soon he was a cute little 24-30 month old toddler and dressed as one as well. She picked up her new toddler in one arm and grabbed the highchair with the other and headed for the kitchen. She put him in the highchair and used the crotch and lap belts to keep him in place. He was for sure trapped and he knew it. He watched as she went to the cabinet and took down a can of instant enfamil formula and made a bottle. She warmed the bottle in the microwave as he sat telling her there was no way he was going to be fed a baby bottle of infant formula.." Oh really Danny is that so well we will have to see about that, won’t we now." The microwave buzzed and she checked the bottle temperature it was perfect for the baby. She went to him in the highchair and pushed the nipple to his lips and she held his head still with the other hand. Then she blew hard right into his face, and just like any other baby he gasped and the nipple went in his mouth. As tears were running down his face she blew in his face again and this time when he gasped she gave the bottle liner a squeeze dispensing the formula into his mouth. He was trying to gag from the taste but she held the bottle firmly in place. " Look Danny baby I have plenty of time and we can just sit like this till you drink your bottle and be a good little baby. Don’t you understand that in a few short hours you will not only take your bottle you will want it. So lets go ahead and get this over with and be my sweet little baby boy.

After the bottle was finally emptied she changed his diaper and dressed him for bed. He was now maybe about the size of a 12 month old baby. She was pleased with how the regression was going. " By morning Danny you will be probably about 7-8 pounds and maybe 19-21 inches long, a perfect newborn infant. So go to sleep in your bassinet sweetie and momma will be right here with you all night to watch over you. As hard as he fought to stay awake he could not and drifted off to sleep. She check on him during the night and she was right by morning he was a helpless tiny newborn infant. He woke up and looked at where he was hoping that he would find it was all a nightmare. When he saw the sides of the bassinet and the stuffed bunny beside him he knew it was real. He tried to sit up but was unable to, tried to roll over and again he failed. He then realized that he really was now a newborn and was helpless to do anything about it. He was beaten and he knew it, from now on he was just a baby. He called for her and she never came to him for what seemed like forever. Then he thought he would probably have to call her momma. So he screamed momma and she came immediately to check her baby. " See baby you can learn quickly, I am momma now and for ever."
