    "Bill" BY CODY MATTHEW JAMES III 2/8/05

    Chapter 31 MY MOM'S REALLY GETTING MARRIED?

    "I can't buy that, it's too expensive."

    I turned over onto my back as I opened my eyes. The sun was shining in
    through my window.

    "Can I buy that one Cathy?" Ricky asked in his sleep.

    "Yes Ricky, you can buy it." I said, then I giggled a little.

    I waited for Ricky to talk some more then Cathy came into my bedroom.

    "Cathy, I told Ricky he could guy it."

    "Is my little bro talking in his sleep again?"

    "Yup and you should be glad he put back the expensive one and got the
    cheaper one.

    "I'll have to thank him for saving me some money when he wakes up."

    I sat up and stretched my arms as I looked at the clock.

    "My mom's at work?"

    "Yeah she left about forty five minutes ago."

    I climbed out of my bed and turned on my computer and sat down.

    "Going to finish last nights homework Scotty?"

    "Yeah or uncle Fred will get mad at me."

    I went onto the net and opened the next letter: Jordan kid my cousins
    are coming to my house for a few days for a family reunion. One little
    problem. I wet my bed and they don't know it. My mom said my four
    cousins will be sleeping in my room while they are here. They are
    younger then me and 1 wets his bed to my mom says. How do I get dressed
    at night with out them knowing I wear pull ups dt

    Dear DT Before your cousins show up, store some pull ups in your
    parents room so you can change in private. (make sure you have more
    pull ups then you need) Don't store them in the bathroom because
    everyone I know snoops in bathrooms. When it is bedtime, put your
    pajamas on then have your mom tell you that you have to take your
    allergy medicine before bedtime. (that will get you out of your room)
    Make sure you change your bed, and put a new plastic sheet on your bed.
    If your cousins ask why you have a plastic sheet on your bed, tell them
    you thought your cousin who wets was going to sleep with you. After you
    put your pajamas on, don't wear any slippers or socks. It will take you
    more time to get changed in your mom's room if you do. If you have pee
    smell in your room, sprinkle some baby powder on your bed and the
    carpet and open up all the windows in your room a few days before they
    show up. Make sure you vacuum it up before they get there. The baby
    powder smell only lasts two days my mom says. If they ask you if you
    wet your bed, be truthful and tell them sometimes. Most guys won't make
    fun of you if you tell them the truth. Jk

    "You sure wrote a long response to that letter Scotty."

    "My butt didn't hurt like it did last night. I'm going to wear a all in
    one diaper from now on every time I answer letters."

    "I'm hungry."

    "Guess who's awake Cathy, your thrifty brother."

    "Yeah, thanks for saving me all that money Ricky." Cathy said.

    "Huh?" Ricky said as he sat up.

    "You were talking in your sleep again Ricky." I answered.

    "What did I say?"

    "You said it was too expensive and you wanted the cheaper one." I said.

    "What was too expensive?"

    "You don't remember Ricky?"

    "Nope."

    I knew I was going to have fun now.

    "You said you wanted to take ballet but the shiny white leotard and
    tights were too expensive so you asked Cathy to buy you the light blue
    tights and leotard."

    "No I didn't."

    "Yes you did little bro, so I signed you up for ballet lessons this
    morning."

    I started laughing after Cathy said that.

    "And I signed you up too Scotty."

    I stopped laughing after Cathy said that.

    "I hate ballet and dancing. You guys just messing with me." Ricky said
    as he wiped the sleep out of his eyes.

    "Cathy, have you notice that Ricky…"

    "What's for breakfast?"

    Cathy looked at me then said "Anything you want to eat Ricky."

    Ricky sat straight up in bed than Cathy added, "As long as I approve."

    I turned back to my computer and opened the next letter: JK are you the
    same kid that is in the Jordan catalog? I don't know how you can wear a
    diaper and have your picture taken. Aren't you embarrassed wearing
    diapers and having your picture taken? Colton

    Dear Colton I wear diapers for the money and because I have a medical
    problem. If I didn't wear diapers while I had my picture taken I would
    be naked. jk

    "Good one Scotty…I think I'd better feed Ricky before he sucks his baby
    bottle inside out."

    I looked over at Ricky and he was laying there on my bed trying to get
    the last few drops of hot chocolate out of his bottle.

    "You better Cathy. I only have two pillows and I don't want Ricky to
    eat one of them."

    Cathy went over to my bed and picked Ricky up, then she took him to the
    kitchen.

    I opened up the next letter: Dear Jordan kid what is the easiest way to
    change at school HJ

    Dear HJ Quickly! Just joking. My mom talked to the teacher and when I
    think I need a change, I hold my right hand like I'm hitchhiking. When
    my teacher see it, she tells me to go to the nurse for my medication.
    Most of the time I wait until recess then I go to the nurses office to
    get changed. I think they do it the same way in junior high and high
    school. If anyone knows, let me know. jk

    "Scotty, get in here and eat your breakfast or I'll feed it to Ricky."
    Cathy yelled from the kitchen.

    I turned my computer off as I said, "Cathy, you will make Ricky sick."

    "I didn't cook it Scotty, I just warmed it up."

    When I got to the kitchen, there were three McDonald's breakfasts on
    the table.

    "Where did those come from?"

    "I think Bill left them." Cathy said, then she showed me the note:

    Dear Scotty, I know you like McDonalds so I brought these for you guys.
    I'm not doing anything today, so I thought I would take you to the
    hospital. I also want to talk to you one on one. Give me a call when
    you finish reading this note. Love you. Bill

    I looked at Cathy hoping I would get more information from her, but she
    just shrugged her shoulders.

    "You better call him Scotty." Cathy said.

    "Okay Bill your Scotty now." I said as I giggled.

    "You know what I mean Hardy."

    "Huh?"

    "I'll explain it to you later Scotty."

    I picked up the phone and punched in Bill's number slowly.

    When Bill picked up the phone, I said, "Bill, it's me Scotty."

    "About time you called Scotty. I've been waiting for over …thirty five
    seconds."

    "You wanted to talk to me?"

    "Yes, I thought I would take you in for your allergy test results, and
    then we can do anything you want afterward."

    "Anything Bill?"

    "Sure sport. I want to get to know you better."

    "Well I'm this tall." I said as held my hand on top of my head.

    "I know forty eight and three sixteenths inches tall, some what blue
    eyes…except after you have been swimming, then they are bloodshot red…
    and purple hair, RIGHT?"

    "Sorry sir you got the wrong telephone number."

    "Hey you called me kid."

    "Oh, yeah. When do you want me up there Bill?"

    "Thirty to forty five minutes…Remember Scotty, just you and me."

    "Okay Bill, see you then." I said, then I hung up the phone.

    "What did Bill want?"

    "He wants to goof off with me today. Wants to get to know me better."

    "That sounds like a good idea Scotty since he's going to be your new
    DADDY!" Cathy said then smiled.

    "Can I go too?" Ricky asked.

    "No Ricky Bill wants to get to know me better. He said one on one
    today, but I wish I could take you."

    "Maybe I'll take you to the toy store bro."

    "OKAY!"

    "Oh man." I said.

    "So you can start on your Christmas wish list Ricky."

    "Oh man!" Ricky said.

    "Better hurry up and eat Scotty so I can give you a bath."

    "Can I just go out and jump in the pool Cathy?"

    "Okay Scotty, we just have to take your diaper off you first."

    "I'll take a bath."

    I ate most of my scrambled eggs and sausage breakfast, then I gave the
    rest to Ricky to eat.

    "That was nice of you Scotty."

    "I only did it cause I need a body guard in a couple of weeks and Ricky
    needs to grow more."

    Cathy shook her head slowly at me, then said, " Ricky, you finish up
    and don't eat the Styrofoam. That is for carrying things in, not for
    eating Ricky. I'm going to give Scotty his bath now."

    I followed Cathy to the bathroom, than she took my all in one diaper
    off me.

    "What do you want to wear today Scotty?"

    "The blue and gold sun suit."

    "Shoes?"

    "My new tennis shoes."

    "Diaper?"

    I thought for a moment, then I said, "School."

    "Gotta do 2?"

    "Better."

    Cathy put the potty seat onto the toilet seat then she put sat me on
    it.

    "Cathy, what should me and Bill do today?"

    "Anything that's legal Scotty."

    "Think Bill would take me to a bar?"

    "As long as you do chin-ups on it Scotty."

    "How about Water World?"

    "You would have to talk to Bill about that…Finished Scotty?"

    "Done…Cathy, why don't they make smaller toilet seats?"

    "They do Scotty, but how would your mom use it?"

    "Carefully."

    Cathy laughed as she picked me up off the potty seat and then put me
    into the bathtub. As Cathy washed me, Ricky came in, took off his all
    in one diaper and climbed up onto the potty seat.

    'You too Ricky?"

    "Yup."

    I stood up so Cathy could wash my front and rear, then I asked her,
    "Cathy, will I ever get any taller?"

    "Sure you will Scotty. You are just growing a little slower then boys
    your own age. You'll probably end up growing taller then Shawn."

    "I don't want to grow that tall. I hate high places."

    "Scotty, you like it when Bill puts you up on his shoulders."

    "Yeah but I feel safe up there."

    Cathy winked at me, then she washed my penis and crotch area.

    "Ricky, I'll give you a bath as soon as I get Scotty dressed."

    Cathy wrapped a towel around me, then carried me to my bedroom and sat
    me down on my dresser. As I laid back, Cathy took out the baby powder
    and a school diaper. Cathy slipped the diaper under me then she powered
    my rear and front, then she pulled the diaper up between my legs and
    taped it.

    "Okay Scotty, you can go to Bill's apartment now."

    "But I don't have my shoes on yet."

    "And you ain't wearing no clothes too." Ricky said.

    I looked over to my door, and Ricky was standing there naked.

    "You ain't wearing no clothes either Ricky."

    "Yeah but I'm getting ready to take a bath."

    Cathy took out my blue and gold sun suit and put it on me and snapped
    the crotch and legs, then she put my socks and shoes on me.

    "Now get out of here Scotty. I don't want to see you back here for at
    least five hours, and after your finished having fun."

    "See you later Cathy, and Ricky, I wish I could take you with me."

    Ricky looked like he was feeling real bad, so I gave him a long hug,
    grabbed the diaper bag, then I left.

    "Bill, I'm here."

    "Come on in kid…I was just reading some of your answers to the
    letters."

    "Isn't that against the law Bill, reading someone else's e-mail?"

    "When I marry your mother Scotty you can't testify against me."

    "I thought that was only good for husbands and wives?"

    "Looks like you are learning something in school sport…I liked the
    response you gave to HJ about getting his diaper changed at school. It
    was a good idea getting other kids involved and asking them to let you
    know how they do it in middle school and high school."

    "Got that idea from you Bill. You told me to ask Matt and Kyle what it
    felt like on the first day of PE in seventh grade."

    "Looks like I'm rubbing off on you Scotty.

    "Oh and thanks for breakfast Bill."

    "I knew Ricky would be hungry when he got up and thought you and Cathy
    would be too."

    "Yup."

    "Ready to hit the road?"

    "Yup."

    "Should we take the S.U.V.?"

    "Yup."

    "Want to eat a porcupine?"

    "Yup."

    Bill turned off his computer, picked me up then we left. When we got to
    the S.U.V., Bill strapped me into my car seat then we left for the
    hospital. Bill and I talked about where he was born, and what schools
    he went to. I was surprised that Bill had an older brother living in
    England. I also found out that Bill went to USC and was a CPA but he
    didn't like being a CPA. We arrived at the hospital at nine thirty and
    then checked in at the front desk in the lobby.

    "Bill, can I go see Carlos before I see Dr. Giovanni?" I asked as we
    got onto the elevator.

    "I think we better check in at the nurses station and see Dr. Giovanni
    first, then you can go see him sport as long as you want."

    "Hi Scotty. I see you brought Mr. Stiles with you today." Marlene said
    as we walked up to the nurse's station.

    "Nope…I brought my new dad."

    Bill looked down at me with a large smile on his face then he mussed up
    my hair.

    "So you and Jeanne are…?"

    "Going to be married this Saturday." Bill finished.

    "Well congratulations, and I'm sure Scotty is getting a wonderful new
    father."

    "I think I'm getting the best part of this deal, a wonderful wife and a
    great son." Bill said.

    "Scotty will be in room three today. I'm sure he knows the way?"
    Marlene asked as she looked down at me.

    We walked down the hallway to examination room three as I asked, "How
    is Carlos today?"

    "He's doing great. He is going to be released this morning."

    "Soon?"

    "In an hour or two Carlos will be released…You know, I've never seen a
    kid eat so much ice cream before."

    Bill and I looked at each other as we both said, "LOUD MOUTH." at the
    same time.

    "I beg your pardon!" Marlene said as she placed her hands on her hips.

    "Oh no Marlene. I…ah…we didn't mean that the way it sounded…ah we call
    Cathy's little brother Ricky loud mouth. He can out eat anyone
    including Carlos anytime." Bill said.

    "Yeah Marlene he's hungry twenty four hours a day everyday…and then
    some."

    "You mean that sweet kid that was in here the other day with you
    Scotty?"

    "Yeah. He was more asleep then anything. If he was awake an eating then
    you would have needed the Red Cross to bring in more food to help feed
    the other patients at this hospital. There would not have been any food
    left in this hospital."

    "Well anyway, you know the drill, all your clothes off."

    "You heard her Bill, strip." I said.

    "I won't strip, but I'll strip you Scotty." Bill said as he picked me
    up and sat me on the examination table.

    "Is that one of the sun suits your company sells Scotty?" Marlene
    asked.

    "Yup Silvia at Jordan made it for me."

    "I wish someone would invent a better hospital gown. It seems like I
    have to tie a thousand of them closed every day."

    "Why can't they wear regular pajamas?"

    "The gowns need to be easy to get on and off Scotty."

    "Bill will think of something Marlene."

    "Who's thinking round here? You know I don't like it when you use your
    brains." Dr Giovanni said as he came into the room.

    "Sorry doctor, I lost my head."

    "Good comeback Marlene." Dr. Giovanni said.

    "So Scotty, your in here today for a haircut and shave?"

    "No doc, I just came in for a shoeshine."

    'Good one kid…Any red spots on your arm Scotty?"

    "No not like the other times. My mom told me to tell you that I might
    have gotten the test wet the other times but not this last test."

    "An honest kid. I like that."

    Dr Giovanni looked my chart over, then he checked my arm again.

    "Scotty, I need you to take your clothes off. I want to check you all
    over again."

    "Doc I hardly know you." I said.

    "Scotty." Bill said firmly.

    I laid back on the examination table and then Bill took my sun suit off
    me. Dr Giovanni check me all over my front for bumps or red marks, then
    he had me turn over and he checked my back. Dr. Giovanni unfastened my
    diaper and checked my rear, then I turned over and he checked my front,
    penis and crotch.

    "What are you trying to do to me kid, make me lose my mind?" Dr
    Giovanni asked as he looked at my file again.

    "Huh? What are you talking about?" I asked.

    "The first test I gave you Scotty had the Pedisure in it and you
    reacted to it, the second test you had there was no Pedisure in it but
    you still had a reaction, and the third test I gave you had Pedisure in
    it but you didn't have a reaction to it."

    "Huh?"

    "Could it be psychosomatic doctor?" Bill asked.

    "I can't tell you Mr. Stiles…Scotty, have you had any bad dreams since
    you stopped using the Pedisure?"

    "No."

    "Marlene, will you get me the tray I've prepared for Scotty. I want to
    give him another test."

    Marlene left the room for the tray as Dr. Giovanni continued looking at
    my files. I looked up at Bill wondering if there was something wrong
    with me. Bill put a reassuring hand on my shoulder and then I felt
    better. Marlene came back into the room carrying the tray, then she set
    it down beside me.

    "Scotty, I want you to stay around the hospital for about an hour or
    two after I give you this test. I will be trying the Pedisure again to
    see if you have any reaction to it."

    "Can I still see Carlos?"

    "Sure Scotty." Dr. Giovanni said as he picked up one of the small cups.

    "I'm going to try the Pedisure test again on your right arm Scotty and
    then I'm going to apply another test on your left arm. Your left arm
    will have other chemicals in the test so I can see if you have a
    reaction to those." Dr. Giovanni said as he pricked my arms with the
    test.

    "Should I tell you if I get any red spots?"

    "I'll be around the ward Scotty. If you have any reactions, let me
    know."

    "Can I get dressed now doc?"

    "Only your diaper Scotty. I want to be able to see any reaction on your
    body immediately, besides I don't want you to escape from the
    hospital."

    I started to sit up, but Marlene laid me back down as she said, "You
    need a diaper first Scotty."

    Marlene went over to the diaper dispenser and took out a disposable
    diaper, and picked up the baby powder, she came back over to the table.
    She slipped the printed diaper under my rear then powered my front and
    rear. She pulled the diaper up between my legs and taped it closed.

    "You guys should buy Jordan disposable diapers. They have two tapes on
    each side instead of one, except the sport diapers. They have only one
    tape on each side."

    "You really like pushing Jordan products, don't you Scotty?" Dr.
    Giovanni asked.

    "I gotta make a living doc."

    "Remember Trent from the meeting yesterday. His mother called this
    morning praising me for Trent's attitude change. She said Trent wore
    the diaper to bed last night and he woke up in a good mood and a dry
    bed this morning. I told her it was mainly you Scotty that changed
    Trent's attitude…What did you say to him yesterday?"

    "Only what I said at the meeting, that's all."

    "Mr. Stiles, I would like to see Scotty back in this room in about one
    hour. If you would like to go down to the cafeteria on the first floor,
    I recommend the scrambled egg breakfast. "

    "Thanks but we have already eaten. I think I'll let Scotty go and visit
    Carlos for a few minutes."

    Bill helped me down to the floor and then I ran to Carlos's room.
    Carlos was still in his bed, but he was sitting up and coloring a book.

    "Hey amigo, your awake." I said as I walked over to his hospital crib.

    "Carlos looked at me, then a smile appeared on his face.

    "Still hurtin a little?"

    Carlos shook his head up and down slowly.

    "I heard your going home soon."

    Carlos put on a big smile and shook his head up and down vigorously.

    "Anyone teasing you lately?"

    "No." Carlos said softly.

    "I gotta come back tomorrow so Dr. Giovanni can check out my allergy
    test." I said as I showed Carlos my test areas.

    Carlos looked down at my diaper, then he looked me in my eyes.

    "Dr Giovanni wants me almost naked so I don't try to escape from the
    hospital, and also to make sure I don't have any reactions anywhere on
    me…What you coloring?"

    Carlos held up his coloring book, and I saw it was Scooby Doo.

    "Can I color too?"

    Carlos looked at his mother, then she got up and lowered the crib rail,
    Carlos's mom helped me up onto his bed. I started coloring the grass
    under Scooby while Carlos got a brown crayon and colored Scooby. I
    looked over at the doorway and Bill was standing there watching us.

    "Bill…I mean dad, you can go get a cup of coffee, I'll stay here."

    "Right there Scotty?"

    "Yup."

    "I'll watch Scotty." Carlos's mom said.

    "Okay, I'll run down and get some coffee and I'll be right back." Bill
    said, then winked at me.

    I looked at my allergy test areas and didn't see any red spots yet so I
    started coloring again.

    A few minutes later, Bill came back into the room and sat down in front
    of the TV. The little kids looked at him for a moment then they went
    back to watching Tom and Jerry, and Bill watched too.

    "How's Carlos doing doctor?" Marlene asked me as she walked over to his
    bed.

    "He's doing a lot better Marlene. Make sure he gets all the ice cream
    he wants for the next year." I said.

    "I don't think so doctor Scotty. He'd be coming back to the hospital
    every day with an upset tummy."

    "Okay then, ice cream once in awhile."

    "After I take your temperature Carlos, if it's normal, you can go
    home."

    "What about me Marlene?"

    "Your due back in room three in about five minutes Scotty, and take
    that big kid with you please. I don't want him fighting with the other
    little kids over what they are going to watch next on TV."

    I looked at Carlos and he was happy that he was going home, then he
    looked at me, and I knew he was going to miss me and I was going to
    miss him too.

    "Bill, you got a piece of paper?"

    Bill came over and took out a small notebook and handed it to me. I
    wrote down the Jordan website and told Carlos to e-mail me at the
    Jordan Kid site. I handed the paper to his mom, then Carlos wanted a
    hug. After I hugged him, I climbed down off his bed and waived goodbye
    as Marlene checked his temperature, then she took his diaper off him
    and helped him put his underwear on.

    "Bill, what are we going to do after we get out of here?"

    "We need to go by the store."

    "Toy store?"

    "Sorry kid, clothing store."

    "For you?"

    "No, for us."

    "What kind of clothes?"

    "You'll see Scotty." Bill said as we walked into room three.

    Bill helped me up onto the examination table, then he started tickling
    me.

    "BILL, you can't get married Saturday. It might be the day they have
    Marcos's birthday party!"

    "Maybe they will have the party after the wedding Scotty?"

    "I don't know when it is. Chris sent me an e-mail thru the Jordan site
    and asked me if I would come."

    "And he didn't tell you what day it was?"

    "No, Cathy answered the e-mail for me asking what time, day, and
    place."

    "When we get home we will find out which day it is…That would be funny,
    going to a wedding and a birthday party breaks out."

    "Yeah, and all your wedding gifts would be toys."

    "And I expect you would want me to hand MY new toys down to my son?"

    "Yup, and I can take them apart, then hand them down to my daughter."

    "What no son?"

    "Boys are too weird."

    "You're a boy Scotty."

    "I AM? I thought I was a monkey?"

    "I guess you are a monkey Scotty."

    I went after Bill's ribs and caught him off guard, then he came after
    me for the tickling kill.

    "Okay guys, no happy faces around here please. This is a hospital.
    Don't want to give the patients the wrong idea." Dr. Giovanni said.

    "My dad started it first!"

    "No I didn't."

    "Did too."

    'Settle down you two or I'll have Marlene take you two to time out."
    Dr. Giovanni said with a soft smile.

    "Did too." I said softly.

    "Any red spots, bumps or other new things on your body Scotty?"

    "Nope, but I got some green crayon under my finger nail…I've been
    watching my right arm but no reaction doc."

    "I played a little trick on you Scotty."

    "I know, you put the Pedisure on my left arm, didn't you?"

    "Sort of Scotty. I really put it on both your arms and you didn't have
    any reaction at all."

    "Do you think it could be psychosomatic doctor?" Bill asked.

    "It's possible…Scotty, do you remember what the dream was about, the
    night we did the sleep study on you?"

    I shook my head yes slowly trying to forget the dream.

    "What was it about Scotty?"

    "Cathy."

    "What happened to her Scotty?" Dr. Giovanni asked as he held my hand.

    I looked over at Bill then I said, "She fell off her balcony."

    "Where were you Scotty…in the dream?"

    "On the walk right where she landed."

    "And?"

    "She didn't move, she just laid there." I said as the tears started
    running down my cheeks.

    Bill reached over, picked me up and held me tightly next to him

    "I'm sorry Scotty that I have to put you thru this but I want to find
    out what is going on with you."

    "Are you okay now Scotty?" Bill asked as he looked into my eyes.

    "Yeah…I never want to Cathy like that again." I said wiping my eyes.

    "Look at your arm Scotty."

    I looked and there were red spots on my right arm, then I looked at my
    left arm, and there were red spots on it too.

    "Am I gonna be okay?"

    "I think so Scotty…Why don't you do me a favor Scotty. Will you go find
    Marlene and tell her I need her in room three."

    Bill let me down onto the floor and I went to Carlos's room. As I
    walked in, Carlos was getting ready to leave.

    "Marlene, Dr. Giovanni needs you in room three when you're done."

    "Okay Scotty, I'll be there as soon as I walk Carlos and his mother to
    the nurses station."

    I waited as Marlene gathered up all of Carlos's things, then I followed
    them to the nurses station. After Carlos's mother signed some papers,
    they walked to the elevator and got on. As the doors closed, Carlos
    waived one last time at me, and I waived back.

    "Scotty, let's go see what Dr. Giovanni wants."

    When we got to room three, Bill and Dr, Giovanni were talking softly
    amongst themselves.

    "Doctor, Scotty said you wanted to see me?"

    "Aw…Yes Marlene. Will you please help Scotty get dressed, I need to
    talk to Mr. Stiles in my office for a few minutes."

    Bill and Dr. Giovanni left the room as Marlene picked me up and sat me
    on the examination table.

    "How do you put this sun suit on Scotty?"

    "What are they talking about Marlene?"

    "…I don't know Scotty."

    Marlene pulled the sun suit over my head, then down. As I laid back,
    she pulled the rear of my sun suit out from under me and snapped my
    crotch and legs then she put my shoes onto my feet. I kept looking at
    the door for Bill, and wondering what Bill and Dr. Giovanni were
    talking about.

    "I hear you have a secret identity Scotty, or should I call you the
    Jordan Kid?" Marlene asked.

    "Scotty?"

    "Huh?"

    "Scotty, don't worry. If it was something bad, Dr. Giovanni would have
    told you."

    "How come I had those bad dreams about Cathy and Ricky?

    "I wish I knew Scotty." Marlene said

    "Ready to go sport?" Bill asked as he walked back into the examination
    room.

    "What did…?"

    "Scotty, your patient, Carlos asked me to give you this." Dr. Giovanni
    said as he came back into the room and handed me a book.

    I looked at the book and it was the coloring book I helped Carlos
    color.

    "Thanks Dr. Giovanni." I said half-heartedly.

    "Bill helped me down off the table and after I said goodbye to Marlene
    and Dr. Giovanni, we left. When we got out of the hospital, I asked
    Bill, "What did you and Giovanni talk about?"

    "Nothing really."

    "What did you talk about?"

    "Oh, he wants to borrow you every now and then so you can help other
    kids adjust to living with special needs. He told me about you and
    Trent and how you helped calm him down yesterday…How did you manage
    that Scotty?"

    "I just took him to meet another kid who didn't want to wear diapers
    either."

    "Carlos?"

    "Yeah…He said Carlos reminded him of his cousin…Did Dr. Giovanni tell
    you why I was having reactions to Pedisure and bad nightmares?"

    "He thinks the reaction to the Pedisure was because you associated it
    to Cathy and Ricky, and when you had bad dreams about them, you broke
    out."

    "But when I had the first allergy test I broke out."

    "You may have been thinking about Cathy then."

    "Is it okay to drink the Pedisure now?"

    "A small amount to start, and no Pedisure after lunch. Dr. Giovanni
    wants to be absolutely sure that you are not allergic to it Scotty."

    "What about my bad dreams?"

    "The first dream you had was about Ricky. Ricky didn't sleep with you
    that night so you dreamed about him. The second bad dream you had, no
    Ricky again, and I guess two bad Ricky dreams equal one bad Cathy
    dream."

    "Then I'm not going crazy?"

    "No Scotty…Dr. Giovanni thinks you are the sanest boy he's seen in a
    long time. I told Dr. Giovanni he was crazy."

    "No you didn't." I said as I climbed up into the S.U.V.

    "Yes I did."

    "Nope."

    "Yup." Bill said as he fastened my car seat harness.

    Bill looked me in the eyes, brushed the hair away from my eyes and gave
    me a kiss on my forehead.

    "Dad…I love you too."

    As we drove down the street, I asked dad where we were going. We passed
    a lot of clothing stores and department stores but all he would tell me
    was we were going to a certain clothing store. After thirty minutes,
    dad pulled into a large parking lot and parked the S.U.V.

    "Which one do you want to go into Scotty?"

    I looked at all the stores in front of me and there was a woman's
    store, a Tot Shop, sporting goods store, and a Tux Shop.

    "Sporting goods?"

    "Nope."

    "Tots?"

    "No."

    "Did Cathy put you up to this?

    "Who me?"

    "You ain't taking me in to get a dress!"

    "Aw Scotty, Cathy said you would look adorable in a dress."

    "NO WAY!"

    "Then how about the Tux Shop?"

    "Huh?"

    "Someone's got to give your mom away Scotty at the wedding, and she
    wants you to do it."

    "ME?"

    "Yes Scotty that is why we are here. We have to have a fitting for you,
    and me too."

    "Who's gonna be your best man?"

    "I was thinking about using a want-a-be Dodger first baseman."

    "Chris?"

    "Yes Scotty."

    As soon as my dad unfastened my car seat harness, I was out the door
    heading to the Tux Shop.

    "Hold on Scotty, wait for me."

    "Where is Chris, is he going to here soon?" I asked as I looked back at
    Bill following me.

    "Turn around and look Scotty."

    I turned and looked through the door, and Chris was standing there on
    the other side making faces at me.

    "Hey little dud, bout time you got here." Chris said as he opened the
    door.

    "Chris, when's Marcos birthday?"

    "Ah…it's on Monday."

    "Bill…I mean my dad told me you were going to be his best man?"

    "Bill talked me into it."

    "How do you like this one Scotty?" Cathy asked.

    I looked pass Chris and Cathy was standing there holding a baby blue
    tux with a ruffled shirt and baby blue slacks.

    "Hey little dude that color is you." Chris said with a smirk on his
    face.

    "Don't they have a blue one Cathy?"

    "Not in your size Scotty."

    "How 'bout a brown one?"

    "They have a page boys red suit if you want to wear that."

    "What's that?"

    "Ricky, come out and let Scotty see you."

    "NO!"

    "Come on Ricky, show him." Cathy said as she pulled him out from behind
    a rack of suits.

    Ricky was wearing a white ruffled shirt, red velvet vest, red velvet
    shorts, and white tights.

    "You say anything Scotty, I'm gonna hit you." Ricky threatened with his
    fist held up.

    "My mouth wanted to say a bunch of things, but I just stood there.

    "Cathy, I ain't gonna wear tights." Ricky said.

    "Chris will wear it." I said.

    "No way little dude."

    "Okay Cathy, I'll wear it…under one condition." I said.

    Ricky's and Chris's jaws dropped.

    "Good I have a page suit for you in your size Scotty."

    "Under one condition." I repeated, then added, "If you marry me."

    "Looks like it is a baby blue tux for Scotty." Cathy said.

    "I'll wear just the tights if you marry me Cathy, no vest, shirt, or
    shorts."

    Cathy stood there for a moment thinking about it before she said, "No
    deal Scotty. Everyone would be looking at you in you cute tights and
    not paying any attention to your mom or Bill at the wedding."

    "How about pink tights. All girls are supposed to love pink tights and
    I'll wear them..." I said as I followed her.

    "Sir, this is the young man that will be giving the bride away this
    Saturday." Cathy said as she walked up to the salesman.

    I stopped dead in my tracks and looked up. There in front of me was a
    big, big man in a brown suit. I felt my face getting red as I stood
    there looking up.

    "Scotty was wondering if you have some pink tights he can wear with his
    tux." Cathy said.

    "No I wasn't."

    As the salesman ran his fingers thru his beard, he said, "We don't have
    any pink tights, only white ones."

    As Cathy was about to speak, I said, "Cathy, if you try making me wear
    tights like Ricky, I'll tell my dad."

    "Tell me what sport?" Bill asked as he walked up behind me.

    "I turned around and Bill was standing there. I just stood there with
    Cathy, Bill, and the salesman looking down at me.

    "Sir, if you will step this way, we need to get you dressed so we can
    start on the alterations."

    "Is Ricky or Chris coming?"

    "No Scotty, you and Bill are the last ones…I'm going to help Bill pick
    out a tux Scotty, and then I'll be right back."

    I followed the salesman into a back room and he motioned me to climb up
    onto a platform. He studied me for a moment trying to figure how to
    take my sun suit off me. I reached down to my crotch and unsnapped my
    legs then the salesman took my sun suit off me. He had a surprised
    expression when he saw the printed diaper I was wearing.

    "I have little accidents from a medical thing." I said.

    "Just like your brother?"

    I thought for a moment before I asked, "Which one?"

    "The little one, Ricky."

    "Yeah. The doctor wants to wait until I get bigger before he operates
    on me to fix it."

    "Is Ricky really going to wear that red suit."

    "That is what was ordered for him, but I think I'll include a pair of
    knee socks incase he wants to wear them instead of the tights."

    "Cathy really didn't order me to wear a pair of tights too, did she?"

    "No, but if you don't behave, I will include them with your tux." the
    salesman said as he smiled and winked at me.

    He held the pants down and I stepped into them, and then he pulled them
    up and buttoned the waist. He opened up the shirt and slipped it on me
    then he buttoned it up, then he put the vest on me and buttoned it.

    "Are you going to be doubled diapered for the ceremony?" the salesman
    asked as he checked out the rear of my pants.

    "I don't know. I think I'm going to be more nervous then Bill."

    "I will leave a little more room in the rear in case you are."

    "Get many other kids in here that wear diapers?"

    "All the time, especially weddings. I had a fourteen year old in here
    two days ago and his mother stated that he will be wearing a diaper to
    his sister's wedding and to be sure that there was enough room in the
    seat. I think the boy liked the idea because he didn't argue. He wasn't
    even wearing a diaper when he came in to be fitted."

    "What was the youngest kid you guys ever did?"

    "That was a eighteen month old terror I fitted. He was going to be a
    ring bearer and it took over three hours to fit him. I found out later
    that he walked down the isle wearing only his diaper, jacket, shirt,
    and one shoe. If I would have known that he wasn't going to be wearing
    any slacks, it would have saved me two hours' work."

    "You going to try that little dude?" Chris asked as he walked in then
    smiled.

    I looked over my shoulder at Chris and said, "No, just a bow tie and
    shoes."

    "No diaper? Boy that will be original."

    "What you wearing Chris, besides your smile?"

    "Dark blue jacket, slacks, white shirt."

    "And your sandals?"

    "Think Bill will let me?"

    "No he won't." Cathy answered.

    "It's supposed to be hot Cathy." I said.

    "Then how about all three of you boys wearing only diapers? It will be
    a lot cooler for you that way."

    "No way. I'm not wearing only my…a diaper during the wedding." Chris
    said.

    I looked at Chris at the same time the salesman did, and Chris was
    turning red.

    "What if Cathy wore a…?"

    "Don't even think it Scotty." Cathy quickly said.

    "Let's get the cummerbund and jacket on you and then we should be
    done."

    I raised my arms as the salesman wrapped the cummerbund around my waist
    and fastened it, then he put the jacket on me.

    "How is this Miss." the salesman asked as he turned me around.

    "Scotty, you look almost good enough to marry but not quite."

    "Think my mom will like it Cathy?"

    "She will love it Scotty."

    I hoped down off the platform and looked at myself in the mirror. As I
    turned around, I felt the crotch of my diaper get warm and heavy.

    "Cathy, I think."

    The salesman put his hand on my shoulder as he said, "I'll have you
    undressed in a minute…Miss, the disposable changing pads are under the
    table over there and you can change him on top,"

    "Chris, will you go get the diaper bag?…and find out if Ricky needs to
    be changed too." Cathy asked as she handed him the keys.

    The salesman helped me back up onto the platform and then undressed me
    when Chris came back into the room with Ricky following him.

    Cathy took the diaper bag from Chris then helped me up onto the table
    and as I laid back I watched the salesman undress Ricky. Ricky was
    still mad by the expression on his face, and as Cathy took my wet
    diaper off me, the salesman pulled Ricky's red velvet shorts down and
    off him. I could see Ricky's diaper bulging in his tights, and the way
    the white tights fit his contoured legs made me think of the warm
    thermo pajamas I wore last winter. Cathy cleaned my front and rear
    while I watched Ricky struggle getting his legs out of the tights.

    "Scotty will you spread your legs?"

    I spread my legs as Cathy pulled the diaper up between them.

    "I have never seen diapers like that." I salesman said.

    "They are made by Jordan Enterprises." I said.

    "Never heard of them. Are they related to Pampers or Huggies?"

    "No it's a new company here in this valley. Fred Jordan designed them
    for his son Shawn." Cathy answered.

    'What sizes do they come in?"

    "They make them big enough for Chris. If you want more info on them,
    just type in Jordan Enterprises. They are on the top of the list on the
    net."

    "I hate tights and I'm not going to wear them Cathy!" Ricky said as he
    walked over to the table.

    I wanted to tell Ricky about the salesman's idea but I knew if I did,
    all the people in the city would know about it ten minutes later with
    his big mouth, and Cathy would know it too.

    "I think you'll want to wear this too young man before you leave." the
    salesman said as he handed my sun suit to Cathy.

    "Jordan makes these sun suits too." I said to the salesman.

    "I was wondering where you got it. They make something like that in
    Australia too." the salesman said.

    I reached over and felt Ricky's white tights the salesman was holding
    and asked, "What do they make tights for? They are so thin not like my
    thermo pajamas."

    "They make them so your legs are not to hot or cold. They kind of help
    your legs relax while you are sitting or walking Scotty."

    "Tights have a long history Scotty. Originally they were made for men
    and boys to wear in medieval times. Woman and girls wore long dresses
    that kept them warm but men and boys only wore small undies if they had
    them and long jackets. When the men and boys were out hunting, their
    legs would get cold so someone invented something like tights. Back
    then they were loose like sweatpants are today but as time went on they
    got smaller and tighter. Way back then they were made out of stretched
    sheepskins and lambskins. The lambskins were the softest they say." the
    salesman said.

    "How do you know so much about tights?" I asked.

    "When I was you age I was in ballet."

    "Big guy like you, in ballet?" I asked.

    'Yes, and that is why I'm not in ballet anymore. I grew too big."

    I laughed as he extended his arms out to his sides describing big.

    "You are small now Scotty and I think it would be when you reach eleven
    that you would have to start worrying about getting to big or fat like
    me for ballet." the salesman said.

    I felt the tights once more and the softness reminded me of the liner
    in the swim diapers I wore.

    "Okay Scotty, your diapered, dressed, and done." Cathy said as she
    helped me down off the table.

    I walked up to the salesman and realized it would take five me's to
    equal one of him.

    "Your suit will be ready Friday morning Scotty…I hear that it will be a
    very important wedding for you too."

    "Yeah, me and Cathy are gonna get married too." I said proudly.

    "Wanna bet kid." Cathy said.

    "I was just joking, it's my mom's and new dads wedding."

    "And Mr. Stiles is your new dad?"

    "Yeah. I get to give my mom away to him."

    "I hope…"

    "Scotty, ready to go sport?" Bill asked.

    "Yeah, be right there. Cathy hadn't finished strangling me yet."

    "Tell her to hurry up." Bill said.

    "I'll see you later Cathy." I said and then I kissed her goodbye.

    "Cathy make sure you get Chris back on time."

    "Okay Bill."

    "I waved at Ricky and Chris, then I left the Tux Shop and followed my
    new dad to the S.U.V.

    "Where to Scotty?" Bill asked as he started the S.U.V.

    "I can go anywhere I want to go?"

    "Any where you want Scotty…within reason."

    "Anywhere?"

    "Yes Scotty."

    "Remember that barbeque chicken place?"

    "Yes…You want to go there to eat lunch?"

    "I want to go to a place near there."

    "Okay Scotty, your wish is my command.' Bill said as he pulled onto the
    street.

    My dad and I talked about the cruise he was taking my mom on and I
    found out he had never been out of the country, not even to visit his
    own brother in England. He said he wanted to see Canada one of these
    days and now his wish was coming true.

    "Where now Scotty?"

    "Just pull into the park dad and I'll show you."

    "Bill pulled the S.U.V. into the parking lot next to the barbeque
    chicken restaurant and parked.

    "Okay Scotty you have me baffled. Where do you want to go now?"

    "Right there dad." I said as I pointed at the swings.

    'You want to go to the swings Scotty?"

    'Yeah…and will you swing with me?"

    "Sure Scotty, I'd love to."

    My dad unfastened my car seat harness, picked up the diaper bag and
    then he picked me up and carried me over to the swing set. He sat me
    down on the swing, tossed the diaper bag onto the table then he started
    pushing me.

    "Why did you want to come here Scotty?"

    "I just didn't get enough swinging in since my other dad left. I really
    missed that."

    Bill stopped the swing, turned me to face him, then he gave me the
    BIGGEST hug I ever got.

    "Scotty, anytime you want to go to the swings, just let me know and
    I'll take you."

    My new dad pushed my swing as I tried to go my highest I ever gone on a
    swing in my life.
