Chapter 2
There I was, sitting alongside Bailey, my crush, on her bed. It wasn’t the first time we would sleep in the same bed. Although I always got a bit nervous when we did. I found myself thinking… what if I lean in a bit closer. What if we start cuddling? This time was a bit different though.
This time Bailey looked more nervous then I was. I had just discovered her secret. Bailey was a bed wetter. Looking through her closet I had found a package of Goodnites, which are pretty much Pull-Ups for bigger kids. She looked so embarrassed when she admitted to wetting the bed, but at the same time so adorable.
She was wearing one of those Goodnites at that very moment, right next to me. Although she did have her pajamas on over them, I felt a weird curiosity towards it. I wanted to know more but I didn’t know how to approach the subject.
I caught myself looking when she stretched over to reach some snacks on her nightstand, watching the pull-up’s waistband peek over her pajama pants, with the word ‘’back’’ adequately written on it.
After a moment I finally gathered to courage to speak about it.
Matt: Hum… I don’t mean to make you uncomfortable, but I’m just curious… Have you always been a bed wetter? It’s just… I’ve never noticed before.. you know, when I slept over.
I could see Bailey was hesitant to talk about it. She had this light in her eyes when I brought up the subject. Like she wanted to tell me something, but was afraid on how I would react.
Bailey: It’s a bit complicated… I’m scared that you’ll judge me.
Matt: Don’t worry about it Bai, if you don’t want to tell me it’s fine. But I want you to know that you can trust me. I would never do anything or tell anyone…
Bailey: I know that… I know… It’s just, I’ve never told anyone before. I’m embarrassed.
Matt: You shouldn’t be, it’s not your fault…
Bailey: No it’s not. It’s just… I don’t… Wet the bed.
Matt: What do you mean?
Bailey: I don’t. I’m not a bed wetter. I’ve never been one. The diapers are just… something I like to wear. That’s it.
Matt: Hold on… So you don’t need them? You… want to wear them? But…why…?
Bailey: I’m not sure why. I just do. They make me feel good. They make me feel safe and comfy and protected, like I’m a little girl again. It helps me go in a mindset that….
She paused.
Bailey: I know you might think it’s weird or creepy… but I can’t help it… I just can’t…
I had never seen Bailey look so vulnerable as she was at that particular moment. Without saying anything I reached over and gave her a warm hug.
Matt: It’s okay… It’s okay. Don’t worry. I don’t think you’re weird. I think you’re adorable.
Bailey: You do…?
Matt: Who cares what anybody thinks. If it makes you feel good, why not?
Bailey: I guess you’re right… It’s just that I had never told anyone ever.
Matt: Can I see it?
Bailey: You want to… hum, well, I suppose…
She shyly lowered her pajama pants and let me see the front of her Pull-Ups, then quickly brought them back up.
Matt: I think you look cute in them.
Bailey: Thanks.
Matt: You said it helps you go into a certain mindset… what do you mean by that?
Bailey: Well… These are just a part of it. To help me relax and go into ‘little space’. It’s something that’s different for everyone, but for me it’s a way to escape my daily adult stress, my classes and work and responsibilities… just for a moment. I grab a coloring book or I watch cartoons and I feel like a child again. Like everything is okay and it feels so good… The Pull-Ups are just a way to help me feel little instantly, when I put them on… I feel like I can let go of all the negativity around me.
Matt: Do you feel like this right now?
She blushed, her butt crinkling lightly as she squirmed, reminding her that she was wearing a pull-up at that very moment.
Bailey: I guess so… Yes.
Matt: Are there any other objects that help you feel… little?
Bailey: Hum… Well, I have a paci… a pacifier. In my nightstand.
Matt: Do you want it?
I saw a spark in her eyes as she realized I was playing along with her. She seemed unsure, but tempted by the offer, observing me for a moment. Maybe she thought I’d make fun of her.
How could I? She was the most adorable person I had ever met. The ‘little’ thing had taken me aback at first, but as she explained how good it made her feel, I could only understand. I had always known she had a childish attitude. So what if she took it a bit further than most people?
Without waiting for her to answer I got up, opened her night table’s drawer and picked up the pacifier. I sat down closer to her and held it close to her mouth. She put her lips around it and smiled. I hadn’t seen her this happy in a long time.
Matt: Want to watch a Disney movie?
Bailey: Yes.
She fell asleep in my arms that night, a smile on her face.
