DAY ONE

Jenny Hayden walked into the house that was once her parents. It really felt weird coming back here, into the house that she spent all of her life in. HHer parents had both died in an accident three weeks ago. Being an only child meant that she had inherited everything, and she decided that she want to stay at the house. It was paid for, and she had enough money to get her through. She knew that she couldn’t stand to sleep in the master bedroom, because that’s was her parents own personal space, and she wouldn’t invade that, sleeping. “No.” she said to herself. “I’ll turn the master bedroom into a library. That would be perfect, because they always encouraged me to read!”

Her room, she would stay in to sleep. It just felt right somehow. In her mind, her parents would always be bigger then her, she would always see them as her parents. She felt the tears sting her eyes as she walked in to the house. She took her meager belongings, and put them in the house and spent the day thinking on how she could redecorate. She could feel her mothers and fathers presence all around her, and it really was a comfort to her.

“Mommy, Daddy, I hope I am doing right! I miss the both of you terribly!” She said over the hot tears that were falling fast down her cheeks. “I love the both of you! I wish I was never away at college I wish I never gone.”

The rest of the day went uneventful, until she got ready for bed. The smell of baby powder was in the air.

DAY 2

?

Jenny woke up the next morning feeling very refreshed. However, she was quite disturbed to see she had wet her bed. ?Oh my God’ She thought, ?I haven’t done that since I was like 3!’ She got up and took all the bedclothes off and then her pj’s and put them in the laundry.

She got dressed and decided to go to town. She dressed casually, in a Pink top and a denim jumper, and then drove into town.

Getting hungry, she looked down at her watch, saw it was 12:30, and decided to go to the little caf? in the middle of town. She went in and sat down. Noticing that the other patrons were staring at her, she lowered her head, until the waitress came to her table. “What would you like?” She asked, chewing her gum, like a cow chewing cud.

“A cheeseburger and a coke, please.” she requested, and the waitress gave a nod, and walked away. Jenny felt like there was something very familiar about the waitress but could not put her finger on it. She put the thought away, and looked down at the menu. She felt unfamiliar warmth spreading throughout her bottom when she realized she was wetting herself. ?NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!’ She thought to herself, and instantly her hand went down to feel the bottom of her jumper. She really was wet! Looking around, she noticed that there were not too many people in there, so she laid money on the table, and then fled. She got to her car, and got in. “What is happening to me!” she cried, with her head on the steering wheel.

When she got home, she lie back down, and fell asleep.

She dreamed she was a 2 year old again, and that her mother was trying to potty train her. “Jenny,” she said, holding out a pair of pull-ups. “You know that you are supposed to tell mommy when you have too go potty. We’re going to try this one more time, ok, but if you go in your panties again, I’m afraid that I will have no choice but to put you back in diapers, because you’re not ready to be a big girl.”

Jenny felt herself blushing. “Ok mommy! I sowwy.” She cried. “I be big girl now ok!”

“I know sweetie.” Her mom said, just as Jenny let loose the waterworks. Her mom seen that she was peeing herself and exclaimed. “Jenny. You are not ready I think it is best if we put you back in diapers.”

Jenny woke up to a wet bed again.

“This can’t be happening!!!” She said aloud. She changed into different clothes and went into the kitchen to make her some supper. While in there, she wet herself once more. Jenny sat at the table and cried. “Why???!!!” she exclaimed. She knew what she must do, so she changed once more and went to CVS and bought some depends. Thinking to herself it was just protection until she could get to the doctors.

Jenny wasted no time when she got home because she did not want to ruin another set of clothes. She stripped, and opened one of the...she couldn’t bear the thought of calling them diapers, because diapers were what baby’s wore and she was an adult. She lay the depends (diaper) on the bed and then lay down on top of it. She felt silly pulling the diaper up between her legs, and putting the tapes in place, but then she realized another thing. The diaper felt right. Like it always belonged there. She reached down and felt the diaper, and loved the way it felt so slick to her hand, and the sound of the crinkle it made when she moved her hand. ?Now,’ She thought, ?if I just had a baba I would b happy.’

“What the hell?” She said out loud. “Why was I thinking that?”

?

She went to bed at 9:00, and at 12:00, she woke up with a start. Jenny opened her eyes, and saw that her mother was towering over her changing her diaper.

“Awwwww sweetie.” Her mother said, “I didn’t mean to wake you.”

Jenny knew this was a dream, so she just let it happen. Then her mother looked at her and said, “Nighty night, baby.”

Her mother left the room, and Jenny decided to follow, she walked down into the basement, and to a little room behind the furnace

DAY 3

?

?

?

?

It was midnight, and she followed her mother into the basement. Jenny had no idea that the room behind the furnace was there, but followed her mother into it. The room looked like a storage room, and she was surprised to see her old baby stuff in there. Her crib, her high chair, her playpen, it was all there. Was a bunch of boxes with things labeled as Jenny’s things.

?

She decided that she would look at everything in the morning. All she wanted to do was go back to sleep. She felt her diaper when she got back to her room, and saw that it was dry, and lay back down. She was asleep before her head hit the pillow.

She awoke it the morning to a scary discovery. In the night, not only did she wet herself, but she had messed herself this time too. Jenny could not believe it. She was horrified. She got up slowly from her bed, went in, and took a shower. While in the shower, she remembered the room behind the furnace. After she put on a fresh diaper, she walked down into the basement, and went to the furnace. The room was not there. She breathed a sigh of relief, and thought, ?So it was a dream.’

Jenny walked back upstairs, and went about her usual Dailey activities. She only had to change herself 3 times during that day, and when she took her nap, she dreamed about her mother again.

“Don’t worry baby, all will be well soon.” She reassured.

“Mommy? What is happening?” Jenny cried. “Are you really here?”

Her mother looked at her, and gave a sad smile. “Yes, sweetie I am.”

Jenny woke up crying. She knew that it was all a dream, and found that she wanted her mother more then anything. She needed her smiles, and hugs. Wanted her kisses. She was desperate for them to be together again.

She fell into a deep sleep, and didn’t wake up until morning.

DAY 4

?

She awoke the next morning to find that her room was totally converted. She was no longer sleeping in her bed, but instead she was in a crib. Her old crib! Jenny looked down and saw that her nightie was gone, and in its place was a pair of footie jimmies. Looking over she seen that her dresser was gone and a changing table was there. Her bedroom was a nursery! Jenny set up, and found that she could not get out of the crib. “HEY!!!???” She tried to yell out “Please help me!!!” What she heard was, “Hey, pwease me want out!”

The door opened and her mother walked in. “Awwwwww my sweet baby is awake!” She smiled. “Welcome back!”

“Mommy?” Little Jenny whimpered. “What happened?”

Her mother looked a little concerned, and then smiled. “Sweetheart, Three weeks ago u were in a car accident, u had died. I used a spell that I found to bring u back to me. I lost you, but now I have my baby girl back!” she said, happily grabbing her daughter under the arms and lifting her up, and out of the crib, bring her a new beginning.
