"I'm not hungry," Janice insisted, blushing as she heard her tummy rumble, perfectly timed to seemingly contradict her.
"Oh, you aren't, huh?" Yvette smirked. "What was that about, then?"
In fact, it had nothing to do with her wanting to eat... But Janice wasn't about to tell her nanny that. The last thing she wanted was to confess how she was on the verge of messing her diaper, even though that might be the one thing she could do to stop it. It felt like she'd been putting it off for so long now... She was kind of impressed with herself, if she was being honest, until she reminded herself that her big accomplishment was simply not pooping her pants on her trip to the mall, something that most people over the age of four could say they were capable of the majority of the time.
That 'victory' wasn't going to last much longer, however. She'd managed to keep it from happening in front of Kim, and in front of Riley, but she couldn't imagine making it all the way through a meal... And there was a very, very good chance that Pepper was going to be at work at the cookie store. And if Pepper saw her, she was definitely going to say hi, and probably want to chat for a while... Maybe Yvette wouldn't allow that, if Janice was lucky, yet, even if her friend just spotted her, and knew she was there, she might catch a glimpse of her inevitably filling her diaper... And that was a best-case scenario.
Pepper was a sweet girl, if not a bit hyper; the cookie store was both the perfect place for her, and the last place she needed to be. She acted like she'd just eaten a whole batch of cookies even when she hadn't, so, depending on how many of them she ate on her shift, she could be nearly unbearable when she got off work, bouncing off the walls with energy. It did make sense, though... Pepper was tiny, smaller still than Janice, so it didn't take much sugar for it to go to her head. It was hard, sometimes, to remember that she was the same age as her other friends, since she always seemed more like a cute, if occasionally annoying, little sister.
"Why can't we go home?" Janice pouted. "Haven't you embarrassed me enough?"
Yvette paused, turning the girl around to look her in the eyes, glaring down at her. "No, young lady," she scowled, "I haven't. By the time I'm done with you, you aren't even going to want to look at another diaper for the rest of your life."
A shiver ran down Janice's spine. It wasn't that long ago that the thought of diapers never had any reason to enter her mind on a regular basis... Lately, it seemed like she couldn't get rid of it. Maybe it would be for the best if Yvette accomplished her goal, put things back to normal, to how they'd been before she found that stuff in the attic... Did she really want to still be obsessed with diapers when she went to college?!
Then again... As humiliating as it had been, at least initially, things had gone well with Kim and Riley. Neither of them had made fun of her, or been disgusted, or threatened to tell anyone... They'd accepted it, and her. That didn't mean people at college would feel the same - even knowing that a lot of them would be the same age as her, or barely older, knowing they were college students made them feel so much older than her or her friends - but it gave her hope that it was a possibility.
In order to get there, however, she'd have to survive whatever Yvette's plan was, and, for now, that meant letting herself be dragged to the food court, where, right away, she saw Pepper standing behind the counter, bouncing in place as she decorated a giant cookie. Janice froze, nibbling her lip, as if she were afraid that any movement might catch the girl's eye... Unfortunately, Yvette saw exactly what she was staring at.
"You really think you deserve a cookie?" Yvette asked, eyebrow raised. "Maybe if you can behave yourself while we eat, we can see about..."
"Everyone deserves a cookie!" Pepper exclaimed, Janice wincing, hiding behind her nanny at the sound of her friend's voice, her ears apparently acutely attuned to the sound of the word 'cookie' from any distance. "You should go ahead and buy one now before all the good ones get taken!"
Yvette chuckled, taking a step closer to the cookie store, Janice nervously trying to keep up with her so she could continue using her body as cover. "I don't think we have any danger of that," she commented, seeing how many cookies were lined up behind the glass case.
"I don't know," Pepper shrugged. "Sometimes you gotta have juuuust the right one! Don't you think so, cutie?" Janice flinched, knowing that the girl was speaking to her, that it meant she'd seen her... Although, to be fair, she wasn't sure how she could have avoided that, no matter how much bigger Yvette was than her.
"Yes, what do you think?" Yvette asked, hauling Janice out from behind her, to her horror. "Is there one here that you absolutely have to have?"
Janice gulped, keeping her head down, tugging at the legs of her shortalls, praying that another customer would show up to distract Pepper before she recognized her, before she had to look up and show her face...
"Janice!" Pepper squealed. "I didn't know that was you! Hi!"
She winced, peeking up to see Pepper, overjoyed, waving; bashfully, she waved back.
"Oh, do you know each other?" Yvette grinned down at Janice. "Well, isn't that nice?"
"Oh, my goodness! Those shortalls are so cute!" Pepper gushed. "Where did you get them?"
"Go on," Yvette pushed Janice closer to the store with a pat on the backside, Janice flinching as she heard the crinkle that made, as she took a step forward, doing her best to hide her waddle, and failing, almost certain that she saw Pepper's head tilt slightly. "Tell her all about it... And pick out your perfect cookie. I'll go get us some food."
Janice started to shake her head, but Yvette was already gone, essentially leaving her in the care of another of her friends. She fidgeted, glad that she at least wasn't in just her shirt and diaper anymore, yet still uncertain how she was going to keep her padding a secret for too long. It was hard not to feel like she was one of the little kids she often saw in this very spot, gawking at all the cookies, begging their Mommies to buy them one... A lot of them were in diapers, too, or barely out of them, so she had no doubt Pepper had plenty of experience with seeing them. Even Janice, who simply hung out here now and then to keep Pepper company, had witnessed many a caretaker giving their toddlers diaper checks in this very spot... And that pat she'd gotten from Yvette didn't feel too far off from that.
"So?" Pepper asked, snapping Janice out of her anxiety for a moment. "Where did you find those?"
What was Janice going to say? Pepper had to know that store was for kids... Then again, was there really any doubt that these things were meant for someone much younger than her? Definitely not, as Pepper was about to remind her.
"Janice?" Pepper tilted her head again. "Do those have... snaps on them?"
Janice blushed, looking down at the crotch immediately, giving away that she knew exactly where they might be, what Pepper meant. She didn't remember seeing them, hoped that Riley wouldn't have recommended them if they were that obviously meant for someone still in diapers, since that would be almost as clear a signal that she was wearing them as having a skirt too short to hide them... And, apparently, she was right, though it didn't feel like much of a victory as she stood there, watching the smile grow on Pepper's face at her reaction.
"Here," Pepper stepped around to the door that led behind the counter, opening it up. "Why don't you come in here for a minute? I have something I want to show you."
Janice hesitated; she didn't think Pepper would try to trick her, or do anything too mean, but she had no idea what she could want. Janice knew she had to be serious, however, to consider letting her inside... She'd never done that before, saying that, if anyone saw her allowing anyone who didn't work into that space, she could get in a lot of trouble...
"O-Okay," she nodded, head swimming as she toddled through the door, the sweet scent of cookies even stronger from back there. "Wow," she commented. "It's weird seeing it from this side."
"I know!" Pepper giggled. "Come on!"
She grabbed Janice by the hand, hauling her into the back room, leaving the counter unattended, yet another thing she wasn't supposed to do. Janice fought to stay perfectly still, certain the sound of her diaper crinkling at the slightest move would echo throughout the small room, would reveal her secret... Try as she might, though, she could still hear it, her heart pounding faster and faster as she waited for Pepper to hear it, to recognize it...
And then Pepper lifted up her work apron, and the skirt underneath, and Janice realized where the crinkling had really been coming from. "Y-You're wearing...?" Janice's eyes widened.
"Uh-huh!" Pepper's eyes twinkled. "Whenever I can... You are, too, right?" Janice blushed, nodded, and Pepper immediately bounced in place, reaching out, then pausing until Janice nodded again, letting her give the padding beneath her shortalls a poke. "Oh, my goodness!" she squealed. "I knew it! I wish I had known earlier! We could have had so many playdates together!"
"I-I had no idea," Janice confessed. "Are you... sick?" She didn't want to assume that Pepper was like her, that she chose to do this... The diaper was pink, though, and printed with unicorns and rainbows, so it seemed like a safe bet that, at the very least, she'd embraced it. There were so many thinner, more plain, diapers she could have chosen.
"No!" Pepper shook her head. "Wait, are you?" Janice blushed and shook her head, too. "That's good! I just really, really like them...."
Janice wiggled her bottom, looking down at the floor shyly. "Y-Yeah," she confessed. "Me, too..."
"I can't believe I finally have a diaper friend!" Pepper gave her a big hug, hopping up and down. "This is so cool!"
It really was... Yvette may have done all this to discourage her from wearing diapers, to shame her out of it, but, if anything, all it had done was show her that she could do it and still have friends... That, perhaps, she could be closer than ever with them, having that secret to bind them together...
She blushed as she heard her stomach rumble again, this time the cramp coming so hard that she had to wrap her arms around her tummy, wincing, feeling especially embarrassed in front of Pepper. "Umm..." she said after a moment. "H-Have you ever...?"
She was glad not to have to say it, though it wasn't much of a comfort that Pepper knew immediately what she was talking about, what was happening inside her. "Whenever I can," she repeated herself with a grin. "It's so fun!"
Janice squirmed, hardly able to believe her ears... Then again, as gross as it had seemed to her, she had definitely been curious about it. "I-It is?"
"Ohhh, yeah," Pepper nodded. "Trust your big sis on this one, kid!" Janice rolled her eyes at Pepper treating her like she was younger... But she didn't mind that so much, either, really. She clearly had more experience... And Janice wanted to believe her on this. "If you want a little privacy, you can stay back here for a minute, but I'd better go make sure I don't have any customers."
Janice watched her go, looking around the small room nervously. Was she seriously going to do this?! It was bound to happen before long anyway... And wouldn't it be better here, away from Yvette? She really didn't want to tell Yvette what was happening, to have to beg her to take her to the bathroom, not knowing if she'd do it or not, but that was the only other alternative, unless, somehow, she could hold it all the way through their meal, and the ride back home...
Maybe she could have done that. The chance was slim, but it was possible. After hearing what Pepper had said, though... She just couldn't help herself. Janice closed her eyes, letting her knees bend slightly, and gave a push. That was all it took, too, one tiny push and suddenly she could feel her diaper growing, a soft, warm mush quickly flowing into it, spreading throughout it, making her feel even tinier, even more helpless, than ever...
And Pepper was right. She loved every moment of it. It made her feel so completely babyish, in a way that totally eclipsed the experience of wetting herself, which had been amazing enough on its own... Now that she'd done this, there was no going back... And no desire to.
"Good girl!" Pepper praised her when she emerged from the room, giving her a big hug, a pat on the lumpy seat of her pants, and a cookie before ushering her back out from behind the counter. "I knew you could do it!"
Janice beamed, basking in the praise, wiggling her bottom and giggling to herself. Not even Yvette's return was enough to bother her, as the woman wrinkled her nose and demanded, "What happened here, young lady?"
"I dunno," Janice fibbed, both her and Pepper struggling to hide their laughter. It didn't matter now what Yvette did, how much she tried to humiliate Janice, to treat her like a baby... That was exactly what Janice wanted, especially now that she knew her friends were on her side. Yvette may have succeeded at potty training her the first time around, but this time, she didn't stand a chance.
