Lamp of Love

Ron got out of bed reluctantly on Saturday morning. It had been a long week and he would have rather spent the morning in bed cuddling with his wife, Deedee. But they had made plans to go shopping early that morning and he wasn't about to let his laziness triumph over his good sense. He pulled on some jeans and put on a blue chambray shirt, then went to the kitchen to make a pot of coffee. A few minutes later, Deedee was up and getting dressed. They had a cup of coffee together and discussed their plans for the morning. Deedee got out her Day Runner and reviewed the notes she had made earlier in the week for Saturday's errands. She made notes as they amended their plans and added last minute jobs. When the two of them agreed that their schedule for the day had about all the shopping they could stand, Deedee put her pen away and zipped up the Day Runner while Ron unplugged the coffee pot. He didn't want the pot to remain on and cause a fire while they were gone. He had seen enough fires in his former career as a police officer and was mindful of Deedee's tendency to get distracted and forget things. They got into the car and began their shopping trip by taking a circuitous route through a residential section to avoid the heavy Saturday morning traffic. Ron had laid out a route in his head for their weekend excursion that would hit each of the stores in order, finally returning home on the last leg of the trip. Deedee looked out of the side window and watched the early risers mowing their lawns before the heat of the day. Suddenly she said, "Ron! Stop!"
Ron dutifully pulled the car to the side of the road by the curb and asked, "What is it, Honey?"
"They're having a garage sale, Ron! Look at the huge yellow toy dog! Isn't it just darling? Let's go and see what they have. We have plenty of time. Can we go see it, pleaaase?", she replied.
Ron backed the car up and parked it next to the curb, then they got out and walked over to the card tables that had been set up on the driveway. Deedee was cagey and pretended that she wasn't interested in the stuffed dog, looking over the other items on the tables to get an idea of how high the prices were. Deedee was pleasantly surprised to discover that the objects the homeowner had put on sale were being sold at giveaway prices. Deedee looked at Ron in askance, silently questioning Ron whether he thought the sale was legitimate or not. Ron gave her an almost imperceptible shrug to indicate that he couldn't be sure that it wasn't stolen merchandise. Displayed in the middle of the table that the operator of the garage sale stood behind was a grimy antique oil lamp.
Deedee saw the lamp and thought that with a little polishing, it would make a nice display piece on one of their bookcases. She picked it up and asked the homeowner, "How much is this?"
"Ten dollars," replied the man promptly.
"Ten dollars?", Deedee echoed, "Isn't that a lot for a cheap brass reproduction of an old lamp?"
The man reached out to take the lamp from Deedee's hands and said, "It would be if it was a reproduction. But this lamp is from Saudi Arabia. My father bought it in a small village market in Saudi Arabia thirty years ago when he was making a geological survey for an oil company. I'd like to keep it, but I just Don't have room."
The man traced out the complex design cast into the side of the lamp with his fingernail and said as he rubbed the egg shaped quartz crystal mounted into the center of one of the sides of the lamp, "It's a beautiful piece, isn't it? When I was a kid, I used to dream this was one of the lamps with an imprisoned genie. You know, like Aladdin's lamp. I used to polish it until it I could see my reflection in the brass, hoping that the rubbing would free the genie trapped within. Nothing ever happened though."
Ron took the lamp from the man's hands and looked at the crystal closely. It wasn't faceted like a commercial leaded glass crystal. Instead, the crystal was a slightly irregular, smooth cabochon with patches of cloudiness buried deep within the crystal. Ron suspected the owner was telling the truth about the origins of the lamp. The imperfections implied that the stone was gemstone quality quartz and the irregularities indicated that it had been cut by hand. He handed the piece to Deedee who discovered the metal was oddly warm to the touch as she took it in her hands. Her eyes seemed to be drawn into the crystal as if it were a huge diamond. The more she handled the lamp, the more she wanted it. There was something compelling about the feel of the thing that told her that what she had in her hands was far more precious than an old oil lamp. Deedee decided then and there that she had to own the lamp and wasn't going to take no for an answer. She asked the homeowner as she opened her Day Runner to get out her checkbook, "Would you take a check?"
The homeowner shook his head in the negative and said, "Cash only."
Deedee winced slightly at the news. She didn't have any cash with her. Deedee looked Ron straight in the eye and said, "Pay him, Ronny! We have to get going!"
Ron gave her an odd look and moved to pay the homeowner for the lamp. For a moment, Deedee's voice had sounded so different. It was deeper than normal and more resonant. Her tone had changed too, her words had had been so forceful and commanding. She didn't sound anything like the sweet Deedee he knew and loved. Ron wanted to get out of there before anything else happened. He didn't like the way Deedee was acting. It was easier to buy the lamp and leave than argue about it. Besides, once he saw the crystal, he thought spending ten dollars on the lamp was a wise investment. The crystal alone was probably worth a hundred dollars.
When Deedee got back into the car she was her old self again and thanked him profusely for the lamp. They drove to each of the stores in order, conducting business efficiently at each one until they were half way through the list. Then they went to the Mall to pick up some new pillow cases and sheets for the bedroom. On the way to the linen department, they stopped and looked at the baby furniture. Deedee wasn't expecting a baby, it was just that she had an.... odd hobby. Deedee was an infantilist. She loved to dress up as a baby and have Ron babysit her as if she was a real infant. Ron made the perfect Daddy for her. He was big and kind and ever so gentle with her. When he stood over her and watched while she played on the floor in her diapers, she could easily imagine that she had miraculously grown younger again and had become his baby girl. She would suck her thumb like an infant and speak in baby-talk whenever she was in her baby mode, mimicking a toddler's behavior perfectly.
Deedee went over the nursery furniture carefully, but she didn't see a single piece she wanted. Her search for the perfect nursery suite was an extended exercise in window shopping, so she wasn't disappointed. She didn't intend to buy anything for her fantasy nursery. The baby she had in mind had gotten too big over the years to use ordinary nursery furniture. Deedee only wanted to look so she could better visualize her fantasy of being a baby again. There were just about to leave when she spotted a crib mobile that caught her eye. It was composed of plastic cutouts of baby bunnies set at different levels so that when the mobile was set in motion it appeared that a brood of bunnies were gambling in abandon above the baby's head. Deedee picked up a packaged set and took it to the checkout stand without a word. Ron followed silently behind after taking one look at the expression on her face. Ron knew that baby bunnies were her favorite creatures and it would only serve to make her angry to say anything. He waited while she got out her checkbook and paid for the mobile. Then they proceeded to the linen department where Deedee picked out the new sheets they needed. The rest of the trip was uneventful and they were able to complete their errands without any detours or delays. They arrived home about two hours later and unpacked the car, putting their purchases away once the car had been unloaded. By silent agreement Ron took the mobile to hang from the ceiling in the spare bedroom that served as Deedee's nursery and playroom while Deedee got out the antique oil lamp she had bought at the garage sale. She sat down at the kitchen table to have look at it and clean it up before she made a final decision where she would display it.
Deedee noticed that the lamp had a small spot of discoloration on the side. She got the can of Ron's Brasso that he used to polish his brass on his navy reserve uniform out to try to remove the spot. When that failed, she remembered an article in Hints from Heloise that suggested she try a mixture of salt and vinegar. She rummaged through the kitchen pantry for a moment looking for the bottle of white vinegar she stored for cleaning purposes. She vaguely remembered having run out of vinegar three weeks before and putting it on her shopping list but couldn't seem to find it. Deedee decided that she must have forgotten to buy it and resolved the problem the way any good cook would handle the problem; she substituted. She got out the wine vinegar that she used to make vinaigrettes for salads from the pantry and mixed a tablespoon of the vinegar in a teacup with enough salt to form a paste, then she took a dampened paper towel and began scrubbing the moist paste into the side of the lamp. After a minute of rubbing, the mildly abrasive paste removed the spot completely. Unfortunately, it did such a good job that it made the rest of the lamp look dull by comparison. The spot she had worked on shown brightly while the rest of the lamp kept its dismal finish. Deedee scooped the balance of the paste out of the teacup and industriously cleaned the rest of the lamp. When she finished, she lay the lamp down on the newspaper she had used to protect the kitchen table and sat back to admire the piece. Ron walked in the room and said, "I finished mounting the new mobile you bought for the playroom, Honey. Would you like to come and see it?"
"I'll be right there," she answered and gave the lamp a final buff with the rag and wiped the dust from the edges of crystal mounted in the center of the lamp, "I finally managed to get all the spots off of the lamp. How do you think it looks?"
Ron bent over the table and looked at the lamp closely. The entire lamp seemed to be glowing as if there were some inner source of illumination. Ron tried to trace the patterns on the surface of the lamp and discovered that his eyes refused to follow the lines. The peculiar geometry of the lines made them look like they led off into another dimension that he wasn't equipped to perceive. It gave him a dizzying sensation of falling into the arcane design that was inscribed into the side of the lamp. He blinked his eyes and looked again at the pattern. Taken as a whole, the design had a three dimensional quality that gave it the illusion of depth. It gave him the eerie feeling that the lamp was magickal. He shook his head to clear the dizziness that threatened to make him nauseous and said, "It looks beautiful, Honey! Are you going to put it on the mantle?"
"Can you think of a better spot for it?", she asked him, then smiled and said, "Maybe I should put it in the bedroom so we could rub it and make wishes before we go to sleep."
Ron chuckled and replied, "And what would
         my baby wish for?"
         
         Deedee knuckled him hard in the ribs and
         said, "You know exactly what I'd wish for Ronny! I'd wish to
         be a real baby for twenty four hours. What a baby day that
         would be. I wouldn't have to pretend then. It would all be
         real." Ron smiled at the thought of babysitting
         an infant version of Deedee. He enjoyed being her Daddy and
         taking care of her as if she was a toddler. He could easily
         imagine how much fun it would be if she was transformed into
         a real baby. She grinned broadly and said, "It would
         serve you right if I did! Twenty-four hours of changing
         dirty diapers would take that silly grin off of your
         face!" Ron laughed and Deedee got up from the
         table to see her new mobile. Deedee looked at the lamp and
         said, "You know, that crystal looks like there's a light
         behind it. It must be acting like a prism. I hadn't noticed
         that before." The crystal on the lamp was glimmering
         red in the center, apparently diffracting the sunbeam that
         fell on it's surface. Ron noticed as he turned that the lamp
         seemed to waver slightly in the sunlight as if it was an
         insubstantial mirage. "The sunlight must be heating the lamp
         up and causing the air around the lamp to diffract the
         light," he thought to himself as he followed Deedee into the
         nursery. They were about halfway there when Deedee's pink
         blouse seemed to take on a life of its own. Ron stopped in
         horrified fascination as he watched the back of the blouse
         get longer and crawl over Deedee's bottom and down the back
         of her legs. Her slacks seemed to be alive too; they
         slithered down her ankles and started forming gathers around
         the tops of her feet. When she felt the cuffs hit her
         ankles, Deedee halted and looked down to see what was
         happening. Suddenly, her loosening waistband gave way and
         her slacks slid down her legs to pool around her feet. A
         moment later, her panties followed her slacks and dropped to
         the floor. Deedee's body started to shrink in upon itself,
         getting shorter with each passing second. Deedee turned and
         looked at Ron with a helpless expression on her face as she
         perceived that her vantage point was rushing towards the
         floor. It looked like everything in the room was growing
         taller and more distant. Deedee said with a rising tone of
         fear, "Doooonnnnny!" Ron froze in amazement as Deedee's height
         was reduced by half and her blouse descended to the floor.
         She appeared to be growing younger by the minute. Deedee's
         limbs changed proportions and became shorter with respect to
         her body until they looked like a baby's legs and arms. Her
         long hair seemed to pull itself back into her scalp, leaving
         her face framed by the short ringlets of early childhood.
         The lines of maturity in her face vanished and were replaced
         by the soft skin of babyhood as her cheeks became chubby
         with baby fat.   Deedee swayed uncertainly on her feet for
         a moment and then fell backwards to land on her bottom. She
         looked up at Ron's face for a moment in surprise and then
         began to cry. Ron was stunned. His wife had turned into an
         infant before his eyes. He knelt down beside her and removed
         the blouse which was draped tent-like over her torso. Ron
         turned her around to face him and said, "Deedee? Are you
         alright? Speak to me, Deedee!" When she realized that the only thing
         that was emerging from her mouth was a high-pitched baby's
         babble, her face clouded over with a look of extreme
         frustration and she began weeping again. Ron picked her up
         and held her closely to him, wrapping one arm around her
         bottom to support her while he cupped his broad palm over
         her back and shoulders. He stood up,  cuddling her tiny body
         to his chest while patting her back and saying, "There,
         there, Honey. It will be alright. Don't worry, Ronny's
         here." She quieted down under the influence of
         his soothing words and let him carry her into their bedroom.
         Ron laid Deedee on her back on the bed and examined her
         infant body closely. When he was finished, he sat down
         beside her on the bed and said, "I don't know how you
         managed it, Honey, but you seemed to have gotten your wish!
         You're a real baby! There's not much point in taking you to
         the emergency room. They won't know what to do with you. I
         guess all I can do it try to take care of you until you get
         better. I guess I won't be playing at being your Daddy from
         now on, I'm going to be your Daddy for real!" Deedee looked thoughtful for a moment and
         then began chuckling in glee as she waved her legs in front
         of her. She had finally become a baby. She smiled upwards at
         her new Daddy and grinned at the prospect of being taken
         care off by him. Deedee had dreamed about this moment her
         entire life, she intended to enjoy every minute. Ron said, "The first thing we have to do,
         baby girl, is get you dressed. Maybe one of your old
         T-shirts would work as a nightgown." He got up from the bed and went over to
         her dresser and started going through drawers. After three
         tries, he found what he was looking for and returned to her
         side. When he looked down at her to sit her up, he saw that
         she had peed all over the bedspread. "Deedee!", he said in
         exasperation, "You've peed all over the bed! Naughty baby! I
         guess I was wrong. The first thing I need to do is get you
         diapered!" Ron left her on the bed while he went
         into the master bathroom and returned with some towels. He
         lifted her legs and laid a bathtowel beneath her bottom to
         soak up the pee on the bed while he found some safety pins.
         He went back to the dresser and rummaged around the top for
         a moment until he found what he wanted. Then he went to the
         drawer that contained the diapers they used when she
         pretended she was a baby, removed one and returned to his
         infant wife's side. Ron folded the adult diaper over to fit
         her small waist and lifted her legs again to slide it
         beneath her. He pinned one side of the diaper and then the
         other before sitting her up and dressing Deedee in her
         T-shirt. Ron chuckled at the effect that using the adult
         diaper made. It was bunched up between her legs and made it
         impossible for her to bring them together. He shook his head
         and said, "It looks like we're going to have to get you some
         real baby clothes, Honey." He put his hands underneath her armpits
         and lifted her up to his chest, saying, "Come on, Baby.
         Daddy's going to take his baby girl to the store. Let's see
         how much you weigh first." Ron carried her to the bathroom and stood
         on the scale, then he sat her on the bathroom counter and
         weighed himself alone. He subtracted his weight from their
         combined weights and said to himself as he looked down at
         Deedee, "Hmmm, twenty two pounds, that would make you about
         ten to twelve months old. I wonder how tall you are?" He took her to the car and strapped her
         in the seat of the passenger side. The fit of the seat belt
         was loose, but under the circumstances, it was the best he
         could do. On the way to Walmart, Ron decided that he'd have
         to do something about the untidy appearance of Deedee's
         diaper. He didn't want any of the mothers that were shopping
         at Wal-Mart to see on her jerry-rigged diaper before he got
         her into a conventional diaper. His lawyer's mind could
         follow the chain of logic easily. Any  woman who saw it
         would know instantly that an infant so dressed had an
         unprepared caregiver. The conclusion they would draw was
         obvious; a caregiver that unprepared must have had the baby
         thrust on him suddenly. The fact that he was a man who do
         nothing to allay suspicion. It would probably make things
         worse. Women are extremely suspicious of men's ability to
         care for small children. If he wasn't careful, they'd see
         her and wonder how a man came into possession of a baby. The
         suspicion would be that he had committed some nefarious
         deed. Someone would be sure to call the police to
         investigate. The last thing he needed was to have to explain
         to the police where he got the baby girl he was with. The
         solution was simple. If she was properly attired, everyone
         would assume that he was he father and say nothing. She was
         sure to draw attention to herself dressed in an adult
         diaper. All he had to do was get her into some baby diapers
         before they got to the store.  He stopped at a convenience store and ran
         inside to get a small package of disposable diapers for her
         to wear. He had to hurry, it was illegal to leave a small
         child alone in a car. After paying for his purchase, he went
         around to the passenger side of the car and laid her down on
         the front seat. In a few minutes he had her diapered in one
         of the disposables he had bought and buckled safely in
         place. Then he got back into the car and drove the rest of
         the way to WalMart without incident. Ron carried her into
         the store and sat her facing him in the infant seat of the
         cart. Deedee was overjoyed with the experience. She laughed
         and cooed at the passerby as she gazed at the mundane 
         shelves of merchandise with renewed interest. Everything
         looked so different from the vantage point of the shopping
         cart. The packaging seemed to be directed directly at her.
         The wrapping sparkled under the fluorescent light and the
         colors appeared more lively than she remembered. Deedee
         grabbed the heavy chromed wire of the cart on either side of
         her and rollicked enthusiastically. She was having a great
         time. She stuck out her tongue at several amused women
         shoppers as they passed by and cooed in pleasure at
         Ron. Ron rolled the cart through the aisles
         until they came to the infant section and then proceeded to
         fill the cart with packages of cloth and disposable diapers,
         plastic pants, T-shirts, rompers, and assorted baby care
         goods. One of the largest packages he bought was an infant
         auto seat. He put it in the bottom shelf of the cart and
         wheeled her over to the baby furniture. Ron looked over
         several designs for a crib and amused several mothers when
         he turned to Deedee and said, "Well? Which one do you
         like?" Deedee pointed to one of the cribs and
         said, "Gaaaaa!" He nodded and said, "I think so too," and
         wrote down the model numbers from the crib and mattress to
         have them brought to the front. As an afterthought, he wrote
         down the numbers of a high chair and playpen, adding them to
         the list. He would have liked to have gotten more, but he
         was afraid that if he bought anymore, it wouldn't fit into
         the car. Then he took the cart to customer service. After a
         longish wait to be served, he explained that he needed a
         stockboy to bring some furniture to the front. He gave the
         stockboy who was assigned to the job the list of numbers and
         they went back to the infant furnishings department to
         retrieve the nursery equipment he wanted. They returned to
         the checkout stand and stood in line until he got to the
         front and the saleswoman began checking out his purchases.
         The saleswoman was charmed by Deedee, she made faces and
         commented how cute she was to Ron. She looked at all the
         furniture and said, "It looks like Daddy wasn't ready for
         his little girl. He's trying to buy a whole nursery for
         her." Ron chuckled at her remark and lied
         casually, "Little Deedee is my niece. She and her mother
         have come to live with us until they get back on their feet
         again. They lost everything in a fire. Her mother is sick in
         bed and my wife is taking care of her. They sent me out to
         do the shopping." They saleswoman raised her eyebrows at
         the news and said jokingly, "Her mother let a MAN do the
         shopping for her little girl? She must be ill!" Ron favored her with a smile in
         appreciation of her joke and paid for his purchases, then
         with the help of the stockboy, he took them out to the car.
         Ron opened the trunk and rear doors of his car for the
         stockboy and took the infant auto seat out of it's box while
         standing in the parking lot. Then he placed it on the right
         side of the front seat and worked the seat belt through the
         holes in the seat to mount it. When he was done, he took
         Deedee out of the shopping cart and sat her in the auto
         seat, pulling the strap up between her legs and over her
         diaper to fasten to the straps that went over her shoulder.
         He cinched her in tightly and murmured some instructions
         about "...being a good girl for Daddy," as he closed the
         door on her side of the car and went around to help the
         stockboy. A few minutes later, they were finished and Ron
         got into the car to drive to the Safeway supermarket on El
         Camino and Bernardo.  When they arrived, Ron carried Deedee to
         the carts outside and put her in the seat of the cart as he
         had in WalMart. Then he wheeled the cart inside and went
         directly to the baby goods aisles to buy Deedee some baby
         food. He went through the selections rapidly, having some
         idea of the food that she liked and knowing which ones she
         positively couldn't stand. In a short time, the bottom of
         the cart was filled with enough jars of baby food to last
         her for at least two weeks. He took several six packs of
         prepared formula from the eye-height shelf and put them on
         top of the baby food in the cart, following them up with
         assorted sundries like feeding bibs, a card of pink plastic
         diaper pins and diaper creme. When he put the diaper creme
         in the cart, Ron smiled to himself in spite of his devotion
         to his infant wife. She had never messed in her diapers when
         she played baby in the past and he had been an attentive
         enough "Daddy" so that she had never developed diaper rash
         from her pee. Since she had become a real infant, however,
         he knew that she would soon find herself helplessly pooping
         in her diapers like a baby. It was best to be prepared for
         the worst and have the diaper creme on hand when the
         inevitable happened. When he had finished in the baby
         aisles, he went to the aisle with the detergents and got a
         box of Ivory Snow. As an afterthought, he added a box of
         diaper presoak to help get the messy stains out of the cloth
         diapers he had gotten at WalMart.  He had just turned out of the aisle and
         was going to the checkout stand when he happened to meet his
         mother-in-law, Jackie. Jackie recognized Ron immediately and
         said, "Hello, Ron! What an adorable little baby girl, she
         looks just like Deedee did when she was her age!" She winked
         at Ron and said jokingly, "And who's little girl is this? I
         know it's not Deedee's. Have you been doing something you
         shouldn't?" Ron looked at his ditzy mother-in-law
         seriously. Being a lawyer had given him the experience at
         talking his way out of tight corners, he was not about to
         let the unexpected appearance of his mother-in-law buffalo
         him into saying something rash. Deedee on the other hand,
         was a basket case. She looked up from her seat in the cart
         at her mother in pure terror. Deedee could only think one
         thing in her panic, she had been discovered! Immediately,
         she felt a warm sensation as her tiny body rid itself of
         excess baggage and began dumping urine into her diaper. Ron
         couldn't use the excuse that he had given her the last time
         they were caught buying baby goods. Ron had told her they
         were buying the goods for his sister's baby. His niece was
         too old to be eating baby food out of jars. The last time
         her mother had spotted them, Maggie's baby was a year old
         and they had been visiting them. Surely even "Wacky Jackie",
         as they secretly called her mother, would realize that
         Maggie's baby would have gotten too old in the interim to be
         eating baby food. "We have a friend who's staying with us,"
         Ron lied glibly as he glanced down at the diapered baby in
         front of him, "She's her little girl." Jackie looked satisfied and said, "I
         think you should tell her mother that she needs a diaper
         change. She looks a little soggy to me. Where's
         Deedee?" "Oh, she's around here somewhere. I think
         she's over in the produce aisle with our friend picking up
         something that they forgot," Ron prevaricated smoothly.
          "There's something I want to ask her
         while I'm thinking about it. If I Don't ask her now, I'm
         sure I'll forget. I've got to go. I Don't want to miss her,"
         Deedee's mother said hurriedly. "I'm sure you won't miss her. Of course,
         she might have gone over to another aisle by now. I know
         she's in the store somewhere," Ron told Jackie honestly.
          As Jackie turned away to find her
         daughter, Ron heaved a sigh of relief. It hadn't been very
         difficult to cozen his mother-in-law; he had had a lot of
         experience leading opposition attorneys down the garden path
         during litigation. Misdirection was as much a part of an
         attorney's skills as it was for a stage magician. It was all
         a matter of appearing to do one thing while actually
         engaging in something else altogether. His courtroom
         productions of "rabbits" had been rare but exceedingly
         satisfying for himself and his client. They left the
         opposition with a ego gratifying looks of bewilderment on
         their faces and brought wintry smiles of appreciation from
         the judges.  Ron leaned over and looked at Deedee's
         wet diaper and saw that her mother was right, she was in
         need of a diaper change. The soggy diaper had bunched
         together heavily between her legs and drooped down in front.
         He whispered in her ear, "Come on, Dee. Let's hurry and get
         out of here before your mother gets back. I'm sure your
         diaper will hold until we get home, it's not that far." Ron
         hasty wheeled the cart to the checkout stand before Jackie
         gave up and started looking for him again. He wanted to be
         long gone before she thought of waiting for Deedee at their
         car.  When Ron got home, he left Deedee in the
         auto seat in the car while he got the playpen he had bought
         at WalMart in the house. He set it up quickly and returned
         to the car to get Deedee and get her into the house and
         settled into her new playpen. Then he went back to the car
         and began the process of getting the furnishings unloaded
         and into the house. When he was finished, he began setting
         up Deedee's nursery. He knew she would be pleased by what he
         had bought. They had discussed what Deedee's dream nursery
         would look like many times and the furnishings he had
         purchased matched Deedee's descriptions fairly closely. He'd
         have to go out and get some more pieces to complete the
         suite, he knew, but the furniture he had gotten for her was
         a good start.  Once he got her settled, he could sit down
         and consider the problem of what had happened to her. He had
 a suspicion that the lamp was somehow implicated in Deedee's
         transformation. There was something decidedly odd about the
         feeling the lamp gave him and there wasn't anything else in
         the house that would account for her sudden rejuvenation.
          When he had finished assembling the crib,
         he suddenly remembered Deedee's wet diaper and guiltily went
         to the playpen to get her and change her diaper. He was
         surprised that he had forgotten about the diaper, getting
         sidetracked by other jobs was Deedee's favorite trick, not
         his. He decided that Deedee's transformation had affected
         him more that he had realized. He had been stunned when he
         saw her change into a baby before his eyes. Since then, he
         had been running on autopilot trying to get a handle on
         things before they became overwhelming. Ron took her into
         the nursery and put her on the crib to change her diaper.
         Deedee lay back on the white sheet covered mattress and
         waved her legs happily. This was something she liked! She
         gurgled and cooed up at Ron and blew bubbles adorably. Ron
         thought that she looked like she was having a wonderful
         time. He unfastened the tapes on the diaper and carefully
         pulled the front of the diaper down between her legs before
         he lifted her feet and slide a clean diaper beneath her
         bottom. A quick swipe with the baby wipes he had bought and
         she was clean. Then he fastened the tapes of the disposable,
         pitched the soggy rolled-up diaper into the trash can and
         carried her back to the playpen so he could sit down and
         think. He knew she probably would have rather been wearing a
         cloth diaper, but he wasn't sure he wanted to fool with
         washing dirty diapers until he got things under control
         again.  Ron lowered her into the playpen and then
         went to the kitchen to make her a bottle of juice to drink
         while he investigated the lamp. He opened the small bottle
         of Gerber apple juice he had gotten at the grocery store and
         poured the contents into a baby bottle, screwing on the
         nipple tightly so it wouldn't leak. Then he returned to the
         playpen and leaned over the railing to pass it into her
         waiting hands. Deedee cooed in thanks as she took the bottle
         from him and began sucking on the nipple immediately. He
         left her as she was and went to the kitchen to look at the
         lamp. Ron picked up the lamp gingerly, not wanting to cause
         the lamp to change him into an infant as well. He looked it
         over and saw nothing out of the ordinary on the lamp. There
         where no inscriptions or signs to give him a clue to it's
         origins. Deedee had managed to get most of the stains out of
         the metal with the brine solution. The only spot that was
         left was a small brown area of discoloration. Ron dipped a
         corner of the cloth into the brine and rubbed the spot out
         with the cloth idly while he thought about the problem. He
         heard Deedee cooing in the next room and realized that he
         was going to be busy trying to take care of the house and a
         baby at the same time he was trying to hold down a job. He
         dropped the wet cloth on the lamp and thought, "I need to do
         something about finding a place to put her baby clothes. I
         can't just leave her new clothes in the shopping bags. Maybe
         I should get her a dresser to store them in. I could get one
         with a changing station on top so I can change her diapers
         there instead of in her crib. She's sure to make a mess on
         the mattress if I continue to change her diaper on the crib.
         Maybe I could take some emergency leave from work to go
         shopping for baby furniture. It's inconvenient, but I can
         probably manage it."  Ron thought that it was too bad that they
         didn't already have a nursery full of baby furniture for
         Deedee. After he thought about it, he realized that she was
         going to need a stroller too. He wished that they he
         wouldn't have to go shopping for more furniture the next
         day. Ron heard a cry from Deedee in her playpen and sighed.
         It was going to be a long day. He had enjoyed playing baby
         games with her as an adult, but he hadn't been prepared for
         her to become a real baby. He was sure he would enjoy being
         her daddy once he got used to the idea of having an infant
         wife, but at the moment his nerves were more frazzled than
         he cared to admit to himself. He was worried that whatever
         had changed Deedee wouldn't wear off and she would be a baby
         forever. Ron had been careful not to let Deedee know what he
         was thinking so she wouldn't get worried too. He wasn't
         completely sure she still had an adult mind, but he hoped
         for the best. In the meantime, he had to take care of her as
         if she was an infant. Thank God, she enjoyed playing baby.
         If she hadn't and she could still think, she'd be in a
         state. As it was, if she could still think, she was probably
         having the time of her life. He turned to see what Deedee
         needed and left the room as the lamp began to glow
         again. When Ron got to the living room, he saw
         Deedee sitting in the playpen with the empty baby bottle
         lying next to her, whimpering tiredly as if she needed a
         nap. Ron picked her up to take her to her crib and noticed
         that she had wet her diaper again. He carried her to the
         nursery and stopped dead in his tracks when he saw the room.
         The nursery it had been transformed! Ron was stunned by the
         changes in the room. The room appeared to have been freshly
         wallpapered with a  white paper with vertical pink stripes,
         intertwined with a delicate, green tinted flowering vine.
         The room was filled with baby furniture in white enamel;
         next to the window there was a crib and adjacent to it was a
         matching changing table. A dresser stood by the opposite
         wall and had an acrylic apothecary jar full of pacifiers and
         a small nursery lamp. The entire room had a bunny motif;
         adorable pictures of baby bunnies seemed to be everywhere.
         The lamp, the curtains, the comforter draped over the end of
         the crib, and even the crib sheets had bunnies on them.
         There were three framed color prints of bunnies descending
         in a diagonal across one of  the walls. Deedee simply adored
         bunnies and there they were. It was as if someone had spent
         weeks shopping for baby furnishings to please Deedee. Ron
         noticed that the mobile hanging over the end of the crib had
         bunnies hanging from it's wires and a diaper stacker now
         hung from the crib with a bunny appliquÈ. The tall
         yellow diaper pail next to the changing table had a decal of
         a group of baby rabbits romping joyfully in a patch of
         grass. Deedee turned her head to see the nursery and cooed
         in delight when she saw how the room had been decorated. She
         clapped her hands clumsily in applause, barely managing to
         strike her two palms together. Ron glanced at Deedee as if
         he expected her to explain the room's strange
         transformation, then moved his eyes back to the scene in
         front of him and shook his head. "This is getting stranger
         and stranger," he muttered to himself as he took Deedee over
         to the table and began changing her diaper. He put Deedee in a clean diaper while she
         yawned sleepily. Ron chuckled as he finished fastening the
         tapes and said, "Baby girl is ready for a nap, isn't
         she?" Deedee yawned again in agreement and he
         carried her over to the crib and tucked her in. He found a
         toy bunny lying in the crib at the end and tenderly placed
         it in Deedee's arms. She smiled up at him and hugged the
         bunny then closed her eyes and fell asleep immediately. Ron
         fussed with the comforter for a few minutes to make sure she
         would be comfortable and then began to quietly explore the
         room. The diaper stacker was filled with soft fluffy
         flannelette diapers of the type that Deedee liked. Ron
         looked at the back of the changing table and saw that
         everything he might need to change Deedee had been supplied.
         In his earlier haste to get her changed, he hadn't noticed
         that the back of the changing table had tub of babywipes, a
         jar of nursery vaseline, a tube of diaper rash ointment and
         a bar of soap that was forested with the pink bunny-headed
         diaper pins stuck into it's surface. He went through the
         shelves of the changing table and discovered that it was
         fully stocked with supplies. There were stacks of both
         disposable and cloth diapers and well as an amply supply of
         clean plastic pants and infant T-shirts. "Whoever set this
         up sure knew his business," Ron thought to himself as he
         went through the rest of the shelves, "This looks like a
         display in a baby boutique!"  He went to the dresser and opened each
         drawer in turn, finding the clothes he had bought earlier as
         well as other baby clothes he had never seen before. He
         looked in the closet and discovered that the rack was filled
         with hangers of baby dresses. He took out one of the infant
         pinafores and compared it to the clothes he had bought for
         her that he had found in the drawer. It was exactly her
         size. "Someone (or something, he amended to himself) has
         created a nursery just for her," he thought to himself with
         a growing sense of disquiet. The problem was he couldn't be sure
         whether whatever had caused changes in Deedee and the room
         intended good or ill. Certainly Deedee was enjoying her
         vacation from adulthood as a baby, but if she was forced to
         be an infant forever it would be a curse rather than a
         blessing. He had to get to the bottom of what was causing
         the transformations and discover how to change her back. 
         Ron thought about the lamp and remembered what he had been
         thinking when he had heard Deedee's cries. He had wished
         that they had already purchased a nursery for Deedee. If
         they had bought one, Ron was sure it would have looked like
         the nursery that had mysteriously appeared in place of the
         furniture he had bought. He was sure that Deedee would have
         liked the crib he had bought, but it wasn't exactly what she
         had wanted. This crib was perfect. The room looked like
         Deedee's description of her dream nursery. Every piece that
         she had wanted was in the room. It looked like she had
         picked each piece out herself and positioned it in the same
         way that she had described to him. Ron realized that the
         lamp was the key to the problem. Apparently if the lamp was
         rubbed with Deedee's cleaning paste it granted wishes,
         either spoken or unspoken. He had to find out if his
         hypothesis was true. Ron had a simple experiment in mind
         that would tell him what he needed to know. He went back to
         the kitchen and sat down at the table in front of the lamp.
         Then took the rag and dipped it into the brine-vinegar
         mixture and began to rub the lamp all over with the rag as
         he said, "I wish for an explanation of what's happened to
         Deedee. Tell me lamp, are you magic?" Ron put the lamp down on the table and
         waited expectantly. The lamp glowed brightly as a parchment
         slowly materialized on the table next to the lamp. Ron
         picked up the parchment and saw that it had a verse
         calligraphed on the paper in jet black ink. The language was
         English and the script appeared to be one of the European
         Blackhands. It read;   Neither gold, nor silver, nor jewels, nor
         wealth of any kind save love, Only your heart's desire will
         you find illuminated by the lamp's magic.  Feed the crystal
         of the lamp and it will grant the rightful owner's
         wishes. After one thousand days of granting
         wishes the lamp shall find a new master. May all your wishes be a delight unto
         Allah's eyes, Inshallah. Abdul Al Karim, maker of the magic
         lamp. Ron thought about the verse and realized
         that the homeowner had never had a wish granted so the lamp
         had remained with him more than one thousand days. It was
         the bit about "feeding" the crystal that intrigued Ron. How
         had he and Deedee "fed" it, when the previous owner hadn't?
         The man had said he had spent hours polishing the lamp when
         he was a child and nothing had happened so that wasn't it.
         Ron looked at the box of salt on the table next to the
         bottle of vinegar and realized that Deedee must have been
         using a mixture of salt and vinegar to clean the spots off
         the metal. Wasn't there something he had read somewhere
         about salt used to "feed" quartz crystals? He had a vague
         memory of looking at a pamphlet at a shop one time that
         talked about the care of quartz crystals. He had dismissed
         it at the time as New Age nonsense. Now he wasn't so sure.
         Something had activated the crystal, why not salt?  Ron
         thought that it was interesting that the lamp had decided
         that both he and Deedee were the rightful owners. He
         wondered if the lamp knew about community property or
         whether it simply assumed that a wife's property was the
         property of her husband. Perhaps because he had paid for the
         lamp, it considered him the owner as well as Deedee. Ron
         realized that he could probably ask the lamp for an answer,
         but it wasn't worth the effort. The only thing that was
         important was that the lamp considered them both the
         rightful owners. From reading the first line of the verse,
         it was obvious that he wasn't going to be able to use it to
         get rich, but that was okay with him. Having a magic lamp to
         grant their heart's desires was enough. He could handle the
         rest by himself. They would have a thousand days of wishes
         before the lamp sought another owner, whatever that meant.
         Ron grinned when he thought of the uses he could put the
         lamp to. He and Deedee were going to have a lot of fun with
         this lamp. He couldn't wait to tell her what he had
         discovered.  Deedee napped for two hours and woke up
         thirsty. Ron hear her small cries and went into the nursery
         to see what she needed. He found her lying on her back in
         the crib, sucking on her toes fretfully. Her face broke into
         a huge grin when she saw him standing over her crib. She
         reached out her hands to be picked up and Ron said, "What's
         the matter baby girl? Are you wet? Is it time for your
         bottle?" Deedee cooed in reply and Ron unlatched
         the side of the crib so he could check her diaper. He put
         three of his fingers down the front of her diaper the way
         women check their babies and discovered that her diaper was
         damp rather than wet. "You're not very wet," he said, " so
         you must want your ba-ba. Is that what baby Dee wants? Her
         ba-ba?" Deedee giggled in agreement and held out
         her hands again to be picked up. It was so much fun being a
         baby again and having Ronny as her Daddy. Deedee was
         thoroughly enjoying herself. Although she couldn't speak,
         she was having no problems making her needs understood.
         Ron's attentiveness made it easy. Deedee had gotten over her
         panic at being changed into a baby and was determined to
         make the best of a bad situation. She wasn't sure when or if
         she would ever change back into an adult, but the
         opportunity to be nurtured and cherished like a real baby
         was too good to miss while she had the chance. She still had
         her adult mind and could understand what Ron was saying
         perfectly. She had decided that her transformation was her
         chance to take a complete vacation from adulthood. She
         didn't have to do anything as a baby but enjoy herself. Ron
         would take care of everything.  Ron picked her up out of the crib and
         took her into the living room. He set her down in the
         playpen while he warmed up her bottle in the kitchen. Deedee
         idly sucked on her thumb and played with her toys until Ron
         returned with her nurser in hand. This time, instead of
         merely handing her the bottle, Ron took her out of the
         playpen and sat down on the sofa with Deedee on his lap. He
         settled her against his arm and slipped the nipple of the
         bottle into her mouth. Deedee took the bottle in both hands
         while she latched onto the bottle with her lips and began
         nursing immediately. Ron smiled at his charge and said
         conversationally, "Enjoy your bottle, Dee. I think I've
         discovered what turned you into a baby again. The lamp, Dee.
         It's magic! All you have to do is rub salt into the crystal
         on the side of the lamp and make a wish. Do you remember
         what you said to me right after you were cleaning
         it?" Deedee looked up at Ron with wide eyes as
         she continued to suck on the nipple. She wanted to indicate
         to Ron that she'd understood him, but the formula tasted too
         good to stop nursing. Besides, the pause in his explanation
         seemed rhetorical, she was sure he'd finish explaining it to
         her without her input. All she had to do was listen. Ron
         smiled at his infant wife and continued, "You said you
         wished you were a baby again for twenty four hours! The lamp
         heard what you said and took that as a real wish. The lamp
         grants wishes, Dee! Do you know where your nursery furniture
         came from? I was cleaning the lamp while I was thinking
         about your transformation and wished that we had already
         shopped for nursery furniture for you. Then presto,
         everything you always wanted for your dream nursery appears
         in the room. Do you know what this means, Dee? You can be a
         baby anytime you want!" Deedee's eyes lit up when she heard the
         news and she sighed in contentment. She couldn't have
         dreamed of a better outcome. She could be a real baby
         anytime she wanted and still have an adult life. Maybe Ron
         could make a wish to be rich, then he could stay at home and
         be her Daddy anytime she wanted to be a baby. Ron finished
         his explanation by saying, "There're only two provisos with
         the lamp, Dee; we can only have it for a thousand days and
         we can't wish to be rich. Other than that, the sky's the
         limit, Dee. We can have anything our hearts desire." Deedee looked at him thoughtfully and
         considered the limitations on the lamp. She wasn't terribly
         surprised to hear that there were restrictions on the
         wishes. It would have been nice to be able to wish to be
         rich. Still, half a loaf was better than none and the
         ability to change into a real baby whenever she wanted was a
         gift beyond her wildest imaginings.  Ron sighed and said, "I Don't know why
         I'm telling you this, Dee. You probably have the mind of an
         infant. If you can understand me give me a sign." Ron smiled and said, "Where you trying to
         say "Good, Daddy" or were you babbling?  There must be some
         way we can communicate. Hmmm. What about your
         Speak-and-Spell? You should be able to use that to spell out
         words if you can still think like an adult." Ron carried her into the nursery and
         looked for her spelling toy. After a minute of fruitless
         searching, he put her in her crib for a few minutes while he
         conducted a thorough search of the room. In the end he found
         it in a new toy box sitting next to the wall. He took Deedee
         out of the crib and sat with her in the rocking chair and
         put the Speak-and-Spell in her hands. Immediately Deedee
         began tapping out a message to Ron;
         "H...I......D...O...N" "You can understand me!", he said
         happily.   "Y...E...S", came Deedee's reply.   "Then you know that everything's going to
         be aright. The wish you made is only good for twenty four
         hours," Ron told her. "D...A...R...N", replied Deedee
         whimsically. "You can use the lamp to change into a
         baby anytime you want. Is there anything you need?", Ron
         inquired solicitously. "H...U...N...G...R...Y", answered Deedee.
          "Oops!", Ron said with an embarrassed
         expression, "I forgot to feed you. Would you like to try
         some solid food or would you like another bottle?" "S...O...L...I...D", Deedee typed. He took the Speak-and-Spell out of her
         hands and put it in the seat of the high chair while holding
         her to his hip with one hand, then he took his free hand and
         carried them into the kitchen. He sat Deedee in the high
         chair and put the tray down in front, handing her the
         Speak-and-Spell to use while he got her dinner together. He
         went through the pantry saying, "About the only thing we
         have that you can eat is baby food, Dee. What would you
         like, chicken and vegetables? Macaroni dinner?" "Okay," Ron said as he got a rubber
         coated feeding spoon out of the silverware drawer and picked
         up one of the new feeding bibs from the table. He stood
         behind the high chair and snapped the feeding bib in place
         around her neck, then maneuvered one of the kitchen chairs
         to sit in front of the high chair. He took one of the jars
         of baby food and popped off the lid with a single twist of
         his large hand before ladling out a spoonful. "Open wide!",
         Ron said playfully as he brought the spoon close to her
         mouth.  Deedee opened her mouth and let him spoon
         in the baby food as if she was a infant. In a very real
         sense she was; her muscular control had vanished along with
         her adult body and she was incapable of feeding herself. She
         closed her eyes in anticipation and swallowed the
         purÈed mixture. When the flavor of the food hit her
         taste buds, she was pleasantly surprised. Her rejuvenated
         sensation of taste had amplified some of the flavors while
         suppressing other components. Apparently Ron had selected a
         macaroni dinner for her to eat. Deedee decided that it
         wasn't half bad, although the texture left a lot to be
         desired. Unfortunately, her lack of teeth severely limited
         the range of foods she was able to eat. If she wanted to eat
         solid food, it would have to be baby food. Ron continued to
         spoon in the food, wiping the drips from her chin from time
         to time with a damp dishtowel.  After she had finished the jar, he opened
         the second jar he had selected. Deedee closed her eyes
         again, hoping this one would be better than the last. When
         she closed her mouth to swallow, an involuntary groan of
         pleasure escaped her lips. The flavor of the strained plums
         was so intense that her hypersensitive taste buds were
         overwhelmed. It tasted like she had quaffed a mouthful of
         Japanese plum wine. She held the plums in her mouth to let
         their fumes permeate her head. It was wonderful! Deedee
         opened her mouth eagerly for more. In a short time she had
         finished the plums and her tummy bulged in repletion. Ron
         wiped away the bright purple plum stains around her mouth
         and chin with the dishtowel, then gave her a bottle of
         formula. Deedee suckled the formula happily as her stomach
         wrapped itself contentedly around her meal. Deedee watched
         around the nipple as Ron made himself a sandwich and sat
         down at the table to eat with her. By the time he had eaten
         his sandwich, she was slurping the dregs of formula from her
         bottle. Ron unsnapped the plastic bib around her neck and
         rinsed it in the kitchen sink before laying it on the dish
         drainer to dry. The hollow sounds of the last drops of
         formula being sucked from the bottle greeted him as he
         returned to Deedee's side. He took the empty bottle from her
         hands and set it on the counter while he took Deedee out of
         the high chair. Ron laid the damp dishtowel over his
         shoulder and held Deedee to his chest, then began to pat
         Deedee gently on her back. After a moment or two, Deedee
         belched hugely and lay against his shoulder contentedly. He
         took the dishtowel from his shoulder, grinning and shaking
         his head in amusement when he saw the wet stain of
         regurgitated formula on the fabric. She had spit up her
         formula on the dishtowel like an infant. It looked like
         Deedee was experiencing all the nuances of being a baby.
          Ron smiled as he carried her back into
         the living room to play on the floor in front of the TV
         while he watched the news. If she continued the way she had
         been going, she would mess her diapers by the time the news
         was over. Ron took a few of her toys out of the playpen and
         strew them on the carpet in a short arc in front of her
         before he sat down. Deedee cooed delightedly and crawled
         from toy to toy trying to decide which one she wanted to
         play with first. Finally she picked a toy from the group and
         sat down in front of it with her legs splayed out on either
         side of the toy. She grinned at Ron and picked it up to
         taste the toy with her renewed sense of taste. From time to
         time, he glanced away from his news show and grinned at
         Deedee's antics. She was adorable. There was no way anyone
         could have known that the body of the infant who crawled in
         front of him contained the mind of his wife. Her gurgles and
         coos completed the effect, making her appear like an
         average, unremarkable baby girl.    Ron made a mental note to himself to ask
         Deedee after the wish had worn off whether she would mind if
         Kimberly babysat her the next time she changed herself into
         an infant. Ron doubted that Deedee would be embarrassed by
         her sister if she was transformed into a real baby. He
         sensed that Deedee's self-consciousness stemmed from the
         fear of how ridiculous she'd appear as an adult baby to
         Kimberly. If she was a real baby however, then she'd appear
         prosaic surrounded by the trappings of infancy. Ron looked
         down at his wife lovingly as she crawled around the carpet
         at his feet. She would stop from time to time glancing back
         at him to see if he was watching her. Ron would grin back at
         her in approval and she'd continue in her journey, secure in
         the knowledge that her Daddy was right there if she needed
         him and that he was pleased by her transformation.  After about thirty minutes, Deedee
         stopped crawling and perched on all fours with a quizzical
         expression on her face. Her face colored for a moment as if
         she was straining slightly and then returned to normal. She
         sat back on her knees in surprise as the realization of what
         she had just Done in her diaper hit her. She shot Ron a
         guilty glance and appeared as if she was looking for a place
         to hide. Deedee was acutely embarrassed. Peeing in her
         diapers was one thing, but messing in them was something
         else altogether! The reek from the rear of her diaper curled
         around and enveloped her like a palpable cloud, accusing her
         of the rank impropriety she had committed in her diaper.
         Deedee realized that in her current condition as a baby, she
         was unable to clean up the mess she had made. All she could
         do was wait for Ron to notice and change her soiled diaper.
         When she thought about how Ron would tease her for her lack
         of control, she began to cry in earnest.  Ron got up from the sofa and went over to
         Deedee as the odor from her whiff diaper began to fill the
         room. As Ron had predicted, Deedee had voided her bowels
         thirty minutes after eating dinner. Deedee was horribly
         embarrassed. She hid her face in his neck as he carried her
         into the nursery to change her dirty diaper. He laid her
         down on the changing table and unfastened the tapes on her
         diaper, then pulled the diaper down between her legs to see
         what damage she had Done. She was a mess. Deedee had managed
         to cover not only her bottom with the sticky goo, but it had
         fallen into the front of the diaper in front as she knelt on
         the floor and had smeared itself all over the front panel of
         the diaper. She was covered from stem to stern in baby poop.
          Ron shook his head and grinned as he took
         out a baby wipe and began cleaning the mess off of his
         little girl. She fidgeted and fussed irritably in
         embarrassment as held up her legs and cleaned her bottom
         before lowering her back to the pad on the changing table.
         When he had gotten most of the smelly goop off of her
         behind, he deftly removed the dirty diaper with his free
         hand and put it aside so she could rest on the changing pad.
         Ron pitched the dirty baby wipe on top of the soiled diaper
         and took another wipe from the dispenser for a final
         cleansing before he rediapered her. He scrubbed the last
         traces of poo from her skin and dropped the wipe on top of
         the other soiled tissue. Then he folded the mess within the
         dirty diaper, taped the sides together into a neat bundle
         and tossed the packet into the nursery wastebasket. Deedee's
         embarrassment had evaporated by the time he returned his
         attentions to the rediapering process. Deedee lay in front
         of him on her back, clothed solely in a sunny smile and the
         perfect aplomb of infancy. She sucked on her thumb idly as
         she waved her legs up and down without a hint of shame at
         her nakedness. Ron chuckled and said as he bent over to
         deliver a kiss on his lover's forehead, "You're a living
         doll, Dee! Do you know that? You're just about the cutest
         baby I've ever seen." Deedee blushed in pleasure at the
         unexpected praise and continued to behave like an infant as
         he turned her over and began to coat her bottom with a thin
         layer of vaseline to protect her skin during the night. Then
         he flipped her on her back and coated the skin between her
         legs in front, making sure every crevasse was covered with
         the waterproof gel. Ron lifted her legs again and slid a
         disposable diaper beneath her bottom, laying her down
         carefully on it's comfortable padding. Then he pulled the
         diaper up between her legs and taped down the sides snuggly,
         lest she leak all over the crib mattress while she slept.
         Ron looked at the time on his watch and saw that it was
         almost seven o'clock. While he and Deedee normally stayed up
         until ten o'clock on weekdays, baby Deedee was another
         matter, it was time for her to go to sleep. He picked Deedee up in both arms and
         carried her to the crib to tuck her in for the night. Ron
         returned to the living room and watched TV for a while
         before going to bed. After the news, he decided to turn in
         himself. He expected that Deedee would wake up early and he
         wanted to be there to take care of her needs. Just to be
         sure, he tiptoed into her nursery and turned on the baby
         monitor then he took the companion unit into the bedroom
         with him and set it up on the bedside table. If Deedee woke
         in the night and began to cry, the baby monitor would
         amplify her cries so he would hear them in his sleep and
         wake up.  Ron smiled as he lay in bed and pulled
         the covers up to his neck. He missed sleeping next to
         Deedee, but he was pleased that she had been turned into a
         baby, albeit temporarily. Ron was enjoying the experience of
         being a loving father to an adorable baby girl. She looked
         so darned cute crawling around the room on her hands and
         knees wearing diapers that he wanted to pick her up and
         cuddle her every time he looked at her. He turned off the
         bedside lamp and closed his eyes, thinking of what Sunday
         would bring. If he was right about the lamp, then she would
         return to normal at approximately ten o'clock. He decided to
         take her out of her diapers and let her play on the living
         room floor in the nude at that time. That way her waist and
         legs wouldn't be constricted by her unchanging diaper when
         she began metamorphosing back into an adult. Otherwise, she
         would start growing until her body size forced the tapes on
         the disposable to pop loose. If the tapes were strong
         enough, she might get badly bruised before they gave way.
         Ron made himself a mental note to get her robe out and have
         it ready before her transformation. As he drifted off to
         sleep, he decided that he'd better have an adult diaper
         ready too. Twenty-four hours of freedom from toilets might
         make her a bit more prone to "accidents" until she was used
         to her adult body again. After a couple of hours, she could
         change into more adult wear. In the meantime, Ron wanted to
         make sure the furniture and carpet was protected from the
         aftereffects of her sojourn from potty training. Ron woke up bright and early the next day
         and made himself a pot of coffee. He moved the baby monitor
         into the kitchen and read the Sunday paper over a cup of
         coffee until she woke up. At seven thirty he heard her
         blathering to herself in her crib and took her a bottle of
         juice to drink after he had change her diaper. When he
         arrived in the nursery, he found her sitting up on the bed
         with her toy bunny in front of her shaking her finger and
         prattling to it as if she was lecturing the stuffed toy
         about some imagined naughtiness. Ron thought she looked
         adorable. Her diaper drooped heavily in front of her,
         hinting at the nights production of baby pee it held locked
         in it's absorbent padding. Ron bent over her and picked her
         up, raising her to the level of his head and planting a good
         morning kiss on her forehead before carrying her over to the
         changing table to remove the sopping diaper. When he
         unfastened the front of the diaper, the reek of ammonia
         assaulted his nostrils. He quickly removed the irritating
         garment and wiped the stale pee from her loins with a
         babywipe. Then he folded the smelly diaper into a tight ball
         and tossed it in the wastebasket before he rediapered her.
          Ron took her over to the rocking chair
         and played with her for a few minutes, then gave her the
         bottle of juice he had prepared. Deedee took the nipple in
         her mouth and began sucking immediately. She was thirsty
         after twelve hours sleep and drank fully one third of the
         bottle in the few minutes before Ron got out of the rocking
         chair and carried her back to her crib. Ron sat her on her
         bottom and picked up her toy bunny to wave in front of her
         playfully, distracting her temporarily from her nursing with
         her favorite toy. She took the toy from his hand and lay it
         across her lap, then returned her attentions to the bottle
         she had been avidly sucking. Ron stroked her short hair with
         the palm of his hand affectionately while watching her
         nurse. After a while, he turned and left her to play in her
         crib while he went to finish his Sunday paper.  A half-hour later Ron returned and took
         Deedee out of her crib to take her to the kitchen. He put
         her in the high chair and put her feeding bib on her before
         feeding her a jar of oatmeal mixed with applesauce for
         breakfast. Her repast was followed by a bottle of warm
         formula and a burping. Deedee pooped in her diaper about
         half an hour later and Ron took her into the nursery to
         clean her up. Instead of rediapering her though, he took her
         back into the living room dressed in her bare skin. On the
         way out to the living room, Ron stopped in front of the
         closet and got out Deedee's favorite robe while holding
         Deedee's bare bottom against his hip with his free hand. He
         took her to the living room, tossing her robe on the sofa as
         he passed by and put her in the playpen temporarily while he
         returned to the bedroom to get an old comforter. Ron came
         back to the living room with the comforter and spread it out
         on the floor, doubling it over to thicken the padding and
         reduce the amount of floor space it occupied. When he was
         Done, he took Deedee out of the playpen and sat her on the
         blanket to let her play on the comforter in the nude. Deedee
         found the experience of being a naked infant under Ron's
         watchful eyes tremendously satisfying. Anytime she wished,
         she could look down at her bare pubes and reassure herself
         that she was indeed an infant. Her small size and lack of
         clothes made her feel extremely vulnerable and intensified
         the sense of protectedness that Ron's presence gave her.
         Whenever she looked up into his eyes, she saw the paternal
         concern radiating back at her. It made her feel nurtured and
         cherished. The food in her  stomach made her drowsy and she
         found herself yawning repeatedly. She was playing on her
         hands and knees with a toy when sleep finally overcame her.
         Deedee lay her head down on the blanket without moving her
         legs and was fast asleep in seconds. Ron heard her soft
         snores and looked down to see his baby wife sleeping on her
         knees with her cute little behind in the air and her cheek
         resting on the blanket. As he watched, her form increased in
         size and maturity until she had regained her former stature.
         Ron got up from the sofa with Deedee's robe and diaper in
         hand and knelt down beside her on the blanket to wake her
         up. He stroked her hair with one hand and said quietly,
         "Dee! Dee, Honey? It's time to get up! Come on, Honey! Wake
         up!" Deedee opened her eyes slowly and felt
         herself melt into his arms as he lifted her shoulders and
         hugged her to his chest. After a moment, he released her and
         sat on the floor beside her with his arm wrapped
         protectively around her shoulder. "How do you feel, Dee?",
         he asked. "I just had the most marvelous dream,
         Ronny! It was so real! I dreamed I turned into a baby and
         you were my Daddy. You fed me and looked after me, changing
         my diapers whenever they were wet or messy. In the last part
         of the dream, you let me crawl around naked on a blanket you
         had put on the floor in the living room and I fell asleep,"
         she said with her eyes glistening with suppressed
         excitement, "I've never had a dream that seemed so real Ron!
         I loved every minute of it! I wonder if I'll ever have a
         dream like that again?" Before Ron could answer her and explain
         that her dream of returning into babyhood had been the real
         thing, Deedee chanced to see the playpen that was sitting on
         the floor next to the blanket. Realization dawned and her
         eyes opened wide in shock as comprehension of what had
         happened seeped into her sleep-dulled mind. She looked at
         Ron intently and asked, "It wasn't a dream, was it
         Ron?" "No, Dee. It really happened," Ron said
         gently. "But how? People just Don't turn into
         babies overnight and then back again! What happened to me?",
         Deedee asked.  "It's a long story," Ron replied, "Why
         Don't we sit up on the sofa and talk about it after I get
         you in an adult diaper?" Ron shook his head "no" and said, "I saw
         it too. If you Don't believe it, go into the nursery and
         take a look at the furniture. If it isn't exactly the kind
         of baby furniture that you've always wanted, I'll eat my
         hat! Dee, I'm not lying to you. This is a bona fide magic
         lamp that grants wishes just like in the fairy
         tales." Deedee looked dubious and said, "I Don't
         know, this all sounds like some fantastic story. If it
         hadn't happened to me, I'd swear you made it all up as a
         joke. This sounds like one of those rejuvenation stories
         that Jennifer writes. It's just her style of story; lots of
         detail that makes you hope for a moment that she's talking
         about the real thing, but underneath you know it couldn't
         possibly be true." Ron smiled and said, "I know what you
         mean. There were a couple of times that I wondered whether
         she had written that story she promised to create for us and
         I was dreaming about the plot. There are times lately that
         I've found myself saying things that sounded more like the
         way she writes than things I would normally say. I must be
         reading too many of her stories lately. Every time I turn
         around, she's got another one. I Don't know how she does
         it." Ron considered for a moment and said, "I
         wonder what Bob would say if we told him that we had a magic
         lamp that could turn him into a baby anytime he
         wanted." "You tell him and you'll have to help
         babysit him!", Deedee teased. Deedee grinned, then her eyes
         got a faraway look as she mused, "You might really have your
         hands full then. I intend to use the lamp myself. You might
         find yourself babysitting a house full of toddlers." "Maybe I could get your sister Kimberly
         to help me," Ron said with a smile, "She's offered to
         babysit you before." "That was when she thought she'd be
         babysitting a grown woman playing at being a baby. It's
         different when you're talking about looking after real
         babies. I'm not sure she'd want to take care of two little
         babies at once," Deedee said. "I'm sure she wouldn't mind. After all,
         it's not like she has to babysit full time. It would only be
         a few hours," Ron replied. "Hmmm," Deedee said, "If she'd be willing
         to take care of two babies, you could join me in the
         playpen. I've always wanted to see what kind of baby you'd
         make." "I'm not so sure about that....," Ron
         temporized. "Come on, Ron. I'd be fun! Haven't you
         ever wondered what it felt like to be a baby and have
         someone you trusted take care of you? We could wrestle in
         the playpen together and take a nap in the crib when we got
         tired!", Deedee said with growing enthusiasm.  "Dee, you know how I feel about that.
         Dee, Honey, you play too rough! I might forget myself and
         you could get hurt! I'm so big!", Ron said sincerely.
 Deedee poked him in the stomach and said,
         "If we were babies I'd probably be a big as you were, maybe
         bigger!" "What?", Ron asked in confusion.
 "Silly!", Deedee answered confidently,
         "If we were babies we'd be approximately the same size. Do
         you know that little girls mature more quickly than boys?
         Unless the girl is really tiny, there's a good chance that
         she'll be a little bigger and heavier than a baby boy her
         age. If we wished that the lamp make us the same age, I
         might be bigger than you. I might not be bigger than you
         now, but I bet that I was a little bigger than you were when
         you were a year old. You wouldn't have to worry about
         hurting me then!"
 Ron frowned slightly, feeling trapped. He
         had the distinct impression that he'd be sharing a playpen
         with Deedee in the near future. Ron wasn't quite as
         enthusiastic about being diapered as Deedee was. He was
         curious about how it would feel to be a baby, but he didn't
         have as strong a desire to return to babyhood as Deedee had.
         Unless he put his foot down and told her that he absolutely
         wouldn't, she would find a means to get her way with him. He
         might be able to put it off for a few weeks, but in the end,
         he was going to have to try it to please her. She wouldn't
         nag or try to convince him, rather she'd bring it up
         casually and get a hurt look on her face each time he
         refused. There was nothing for it but to surrender his
         adulthood gracefully and let himself be regressed when the
         time came. It would only be for a few hours anyway. He was
         sure he could put up with the humiliation of having his
         diaper changed once or twice by his sister-in-law. He might
         not be able to look Kimberly straight in the eye for a few
         weeks afterwards, but that was a small price to pay to make
         Deedee happy.  Ron nodded at Deedee to signal his
         agreement with her plan and Deedee smiled in success. She
         had been trying to get him to play baby with her for years
         and he had steadfastly refused citing the dangers to her
         person. The lamp had changed everything, once he was
         presented with the possibility of being her size, his
         arguments for her safety didn't hold water. Ron was going to
         find out just how much FUN it was to be a baby again!
          They talked awhile about Deedee's
         experiences as a baby before going to the nursery to look at
         the furniture the lamp had given them. Deedee hadn't paid
         much attention to the furnishings while she was a baby, her
         surroundings had only been part of the total experience of
         being a baby. When she saw the furniture Ron's wish had
         brought, she was ecstatic. The room looked exactly like she
         had imagined it would if they had been able to afford the
         furniture. She hugged Ron in glee and ran back and forth
         across the room checking every piece of furniture like a
         child in a toy store. Everything was so right! When she had
         finished, she sighed in utter contentment and turned to Ron
         to kiss him for wishing for the furniture. After a few
         minutes, they surfaced for air and left the room arm-in-arm,
         talking about how and when she would use the nursery
         next. 
         
         The very next Saturday Deedee invited her
         sister, Kimberly, over to their house to babysit her for the
         afternoon. Ron hadn't made any real plans to leave the house
         while Kimberly was babysitting although he thought he
         probably would. He had planned to spend the weekend
         puttering around the house, doing small repairs. Deedee had
         tried to talk Ron into metamorphosing into a baby with her
         for the afternoon, but to no avail. Ron was adamant that he
         wanted to work on the repairs even though they were minor.
         Ron knew he was only delaying the inevitable, but he
         couldn't face the thought of spending the day in diapers. He
         told Deedee that he'd look in on her from time to time
         during the day to see how she was doing. Deedee was
         disappointed in Ron's refusal, but decided to be patient and
         wait until Ron could bring himself to allow the lamp to
         rejuvenate him. Deedee's attitude regarding Kimberly's
         offer to babysit her had undergone a complete reversal since
         the discovery of the lamp. Her embarrassment at letting
         Kimberly see her in diapers had vanished. Deedee's self
         consciousness revolved around the adult image she always
         presented her younger sister. If she was a real baby, the
         problem was moot. Deedee wasn't in the least self conscious
         about having Kimberly take care of her and change her
         diapers as long as she was a baby. It was only her adult
         image she was uncomfortable about. Deedee knew she would
         feel sheepish if she played baby in front of her sister
         while she was in her adult body. If Kimberly wanted to
         babysit her when she was a little baby, that was different.
         There was nothing embarrassing about having your sister take
         care of you when you were a baby.  When Kimberly arrived, Deedee took her to
         the kitchen to have a cup of coffee with her while she
         explained what she intended to do. She showed Kimberly the
         lamp and explained the restrictions on its use so she would
         understand what was happening. Kimberly was intrigued by the
         idea of watching her older sister being turned into an
         infant before her eyes and enthusiastically agreed to
         babysit her. Deedee gave Kimberly the grand tour of the
         nursery and showed her where the baby food and formula was
         kept in the kitchen. She told Kimberly that she wanted to be
         a baby all day and asked her if it would be okay if she made
         the transformation last until early evening. Kimberly got
         into the spirit of things and told her that she hadn't any
         plans and encouraged her to remain in baby form until
         midnight that night. Deedee was pleased by the offer but
         told her that she thought midnight was far too late for
         Kimberly to be out on the road. Kimberly laughed and told
         her that she wasn't afraid to drive after midnight. She told
         Deedee that she was a big girl and could take care of
         herself without her big sister's help. They compromised on
         eight o'clock and Kimberly asked about what Ron's plans were
         for the day. Deedee sighed and told her that she'd been
         unable to talk Ron into joining her in babyhood for the day.
         She explained as she mixed up the salt paste to feed the
         lamp's crystal that he had told her that he'd wanted to get
         the chores Done while Deedee was playing baby. She rubbed
         the paste into the lamp and said conversationally that she
         wished that the chores had been Done and that Ron had been
         able to join her in her babyplay. Kimberly agreed that it
         would have been fun to babysit the two of them and waited
         for Deedee to make the wish to rejuvenate herself.  Deedee made her wish, saying specifically
         that she wanted to remain a baby until eight o'clock that
         night. Just as she began to shrink, they heard Ron's voice
         coming loudly from the garage and cursing terribly. The two
         of them jumped up to see what the problem was and opened the
         door to the garage to see Ron standing there with his
         clothes sagging on his rapidly diminishing frame. "Uh-oh,"
         Deedee said to Kimberly, "I think I goofed! The lamp heard
         what I said about Ron and treated it as a real wish. Could
         you go out to the garage and get Ron? I Don't think I should
         get near him when he's so angry. He probably thinks I
         rejuvenated him against his will. You can explain to him
         that I made a mistake and transformed him by accident. He'll
         be okay once he calms down. I'll wait here in the kitchen
         while you go and get him, okay?" Kimberly nodded her agreement and went
         out to the garage to bring Ron in the house while Deedee
         took off her slacks and panties and laid them on the chair
         she had been sitting on. Kimberly dashed to Ron's side and
         quickly explained what had happened while she helped him
         remove his pants and shoes. Deedee could see from the
         doorway that he looked like he was about thirteen years old
         and seemed to be getting younger by the minute. Kimberly
         took him by the hand and led him into the house, carrying
         his discarded clothes in her free hand. When Ron arrived at
         the kitchen, he had gotten to the grumbling stage of his
         anger and looked like he was about six years old. He shot
         Deedee a dirty look as he came into the kitchen dressed
         solely in his oversized shirt. Deedee ran up to him like a
         little girl and apologized profusely, explaining that his
         regression was a mistake. Her apology seemed to mollify him
         somewhat and he told her he was sorry he had gotten so angry
         with her.  Kimberly helped the both of them take off
         their shirts and watched as they continued their regression
         into infancy. A few minutes later, all that remained of Ron
         and Deedee was a pair of naked one-year-old toddlers sitting
         on the kitchen floor. Kimberly bent down, picked up her
         sister and put her on her hip, then bent over again to hoist
         Ron up and settle him on her other hip. She took the two of
         them to the nursery and sat them in the crib while she got
         the changing table ready to diaper them. Deedee sat on the
         mattress facing Ron, ogling his infantilized genitals with
         intense interest while he stoically stared off into space in
         embarrassment. Deedee was fascinated by her husband's infant
         body and tried to get him to play with her by poking him
         impishly in his suddenly protuberant tummy.  Ron was having a hard time of it;
         although he had retained his adult consciousness, his
         control over his emotions had regressed along with his body.
         He had only said he understood Deedee's error to mollify
         her, inside he was still seething over being rejuvenated
         against his will. He was torn between the desire to bawl in
         frustration and scream in anger. His adult mind told him
         that the wish was only temporary and that he'd regain his
         former stature in a few hours, but his infant cerebrum was
         flooding his body with flight and flight hormones. The
         conflicting emotions threatened to overcome his control at
         any minute and reduce him into a wailing infant. Deedee's
         attempts to make him playful only made the situation worse.
         The frolicsome pokes which he would have enjoyed as an adult
         made him peevish and out of sorts as a baby. Tears began to
         well up in his eyes as his self-control slipped away. He was
         just about to start crying when Kimberly reached over the
         side of the crib and lifted Deedee out to take her to the
         changing table. Ron heaved a sigh of relief as he watched
         Kimberly diaper his wife. The brief respite gave him a
         chance to regain his composure before he too had his bottom
         encased in the infantile garment. A minute or so later,
         Kimberly finished diapering Deedee. She pushed the nipple of
         an orthodontic pacifier into Deedee's mouth and returned her
         to the crib to wait while she diapered her brother-in-law.
         Ron closed his eyes in anticipation and felt himself lifted
         and laid on his back on the changing table. He opened his
         eyes again to find Kimberly leaning over him hugely with a
         broad grin on her face. She tickled his protuberant belly
         with her fingers to lighten his mood making him giggle
         helplessly. Ron was mortified. The contrast between
         Kimberly's dominant position over him and his defenseless
         nudity shriveled his already tiny penis and made him wince
         in chagrin. Kimberly lifted his legs expertly with one hand
         while she slid a clean diaper underneath his bottom. She
         scooped a double fingerful of vaseline out of the jar with
         her first two fingers, then lifted Ron again to run a thick
         coating of the waterproof jelly into the sensitive area
         between the cheeks of his bottom. Ron shivered involuntarily
         as he felt Kimberly's fingertips penetrate the recesses of
         his bottom crevasse to force the wad of greasy substance
         into his crack. His bladder let go suddenly under the
         stimulation and Ron started squirting pee helplessly into
         the air between his legs. Kimberly laughed and said as she
         deftly caught the pee in the soft padding of the disposable
         diaper, "Can't wait, Ronny? Hang on there a minute, Baby,
         and I'll have you safely in your diaper, okay?" Kimberly dusted his pubes quickly with a
         light coating of baby powder then taped the diaper shut. Ron
         opened his mouth to cry in shame and found it filled with
         the soft latex of a pacifier as Kimberly silenced his
         incipient wails with the traditional soother. Kimberly saw
         the hurt expression on his face and hoisted him to her chest
         to comfort him. Ron found himself looking over her shoulder,
         being held to her bosom with a single arm under the curve of
         his rump while she patted his back with her free hand. When
         her hand moved down to pat his thickly diapered behind, Ron
         lay his head against his sister-in-law's neck and whimpered
         in despair as he heard Kimberly make small mothering noises
         to console him. "How can Deedee enjoy this?", he thought to
         himself, "I never imagined being held in Kimberly's arms
         would make me feel so small and weak. Kimberly looks
         enormous!"  Ron gasped as Kimberly wrapped her hand
         around his bottom and gave it a comforting squeeze. He
         closed his eyes in embarrassment and thought, "She can hold
         my entire bottom in one hand! She makes me feel so
         powerless...so helpless!" A minute later his ordeal was over as
         Kimberly settled him back on her hip and took Deedee from
         the crib to ride on her other hip. She took them into the
         living room to play in the playpen while she watched TV.
         After a while, Kimberly got up and said, "Kimberly's going
         to the bathroom for a few minutes, okay? I'll be right back!
         Be good babies and play quietly in your playpen while
         Kimberly's gone, okay?" Deedee looked up at her sister and smiled
         winningly in agreement while Ron looked morose and stared
         ahead of him. Ron sat in the playpen, not knowing quite what
         to do in his new body. In the past he had watched Deedee
         mimic baby behavior when she pretended she was an infant.
         She would pick up toys and bang on them like an infant, but
         somehow that kind of play didn't appeal to him. He hadn't
         been mentally prepared for the transition into infancy. He
         sat in the playpen in a semi-daze with his legs splayed out
         wide in front of him gazing longingly out through the mesh
         wall at the couch. Deedee grinned mischievously at Ron as
         she crawled up behind him silently. She knew what the look
         on her husband's face meant. He was thinking how he'd rather
         be sitting on the couch like an adult than in the playpen
         with her. She'd put a stop to that! When she reached Ron, she put her finger
         out and poked him hard in the side just below the ribs. Ron
         fell backwards in surprise and landed on his back. Deedee
         was on top of him in seconds. She tickled him around the
         waist until he was a helpless giggling mass rolling from
         side-to-side trying to escape her attack. Deedee squealed in
         delight and drove the assault home, moving up to his armpits
         when he tried to fend her off with his hands. Kimberly gave
         a last glance over at the playpen as she left the room when
         she heard Deedee squeal and grinned to herself when she saw
         the couple playing. She shook her head with a smile at the
         couple's antics and continued on to the bathroom. She was
         confident that they'd be all right while she was gone. From
         what Deedee had told her about her last transformation, they
         still had their adult minds even if they had the bodies of
         infants. Even if they had been real babies, they would be
         safe enough in the playpen to leave alone for a few minutes.
         They looked like they were really enjoying their return to
         babyhood.  Ron was breathless from the laughter and
         giggles. Deedee seemed to be everywhere, he couldn't find a
         way to defend himself. If he raised his arms in defense, she
         would make a lightning strike against his armpits. If he
         rolled up in a ball on his back and used his feet to help
         protect him, she started tickling the soles of his feet.
         Finally, it was over. Weak with exhaustion, Ron lay flat on
         his back in the playpen while Deedee crowed in triumph over
         his supine body. Ron struggled to get up, but discovered
         that his infant stomach muscles were too debilitated by the
         laughter to sit up. He rolled over to his side and slowly
         got to his hands and knees. The diaper he was wearing seemed
         to be sagging lower than it had been before they started
         playing and got in the way as he tried to crawl. Every
         movement of his legs brushed them against the plastic of the
         diaper, reminding him of how he was dressed. Deedee seemed
         to be fascinated by the sight of him; she sat with her mouth
         open in surprise and her forefinger hanging from her lower
         lip. As he crawled in front of her, seeking refuge in the
         corner like a boxer at the end of a round, her mouth formed
         a round "Oh" of understanding. When he plopped his bottom
         down in the corner of the playpen, he discovered was she had
         been staring at. The disposable diaper seemed to have puffed
         out while they were playing and squished wetly when he sat
         on it. Ron's eyes opened wide in surprise as his bottom
         settled in the yielding paper-covered gel. The heat of the
         urine hadn't time to cool since he had peed in the diaper
         and he felt his pubes and bottom caressed by the damp
         warmth. The paper shield in the diaper kept his bottom from
         actually contacting the wet gel, but he could feel the
         dampness rising from moist pad beneath his bottom. Deedee
         was delighted; she clapped her hands and chortled in
         pleasure. Ron's face colored in embarrassment and dismay. He
         had wet his diaper like a baby! His emotions shifted rapidly
         under the influence of his newly infantized hypothalamus and
         he felt his mind darkening with humiliation. When the storm
         of feelings reached it's peak, he closed his eyes, squeezing
         them together as tightly as he could while his face reddened
         in outrage.  Ron balled his tiny fists and shook them
         impotently in the air in front of himself in an infantile
         gesture of frustration while tears of mortification burned
         their way down his cheeks. "I didn't ask for this!", he
         raged to himself silently, "This is all Dee's fault! I could
         control myself when I had the body of a man! She's changed
         me into a complete baby! I can't even talk! How am I going
         to tell Kimberly I need my diaper changed?" He opened his mouth began to loudly wail
         his displeasure. Deedee sat back on her bottom in surprise
         and opened her mouth in awe of his anger. Deedee hadn't
         expected him to react this way to peeing in his diaper. The
         first time she had wet her diaper, she had been surprised by
         what had happened, but not angered. She had delighted in the
         freedom her infant body had given her from her body's
         demands. If her body needed to poop or pee, it did what was
         necessary without her interference or intervention. She had
         quickly learned to enjoy the warm feeling the wet diaper had
         given her and never gave a moment's thought about how she
         must appear to others. After all, she was a baby again,
         wasn't she? No one expected a baby to have any semblance of
         bowel or bladder control. Deedee realized that wetting must
         have come as a complete surprise to Ron. If he had thought
         it through, he would have realized that loss of toilet
         training would accompany rejuvenation into infancy. If they
         had made the decision consciously for him to be a baby for
         the day, she would have been able to talk to him beforehand
         and prepare him for the experience. Deedee was sorry for
         what she had Done to him, but she was afraid to get close to
         him and comfort him when he was acting so angry. If she got
         too close, he might lose his control completely and hit her.
         From the livid look on his face, Ron's control of his
         emotions had regressed to the same state as his control over
         his bladder, i.e., none. She had seen him grow angry and put
         his fist through the wall as an adult, but his rage had been
         nothing like this! At least he had been self possessed
         enough as an adult to attack something inanimate rather than
         hurt someone he loved. She wasn't sure what he would do when
         he was this angry. He looked like he was in a positive
         frenzy! Ron was shaking his fists up and down helplessly and
         screaming at the top of his lungs. Ron had squeezed his eyes
         shut with all the force he could summon from his baby
         muscles. His face had reddened from the blood the had rushed
         to his face and copious tears ran down his puffy cheeks to
         fall wetly on his chest. Ron's toothless gums could not
         contain his spit and drool dripped off his chin in strings,
         joining his tears on his heaving chest.  Ron's rage was
         consummate, when he opened his eyes all he could see was the
         red-tinged objects of his fury; the playpen, the toys, and
         the pee soaked disposable that lay heavily between his legs.
         He looked down at the diaper that had ballooned up with
         urine as the paper fluff was converted to a gel and saw it
         for what it really was; a soggy accusation of infantile
         helplessness that was taped tightly about his waist and
         displayed the damning evidence of his incontinence to the
         world! His emotions overcame him again and he closed his
         eyes to the sight of the despised diaper as he opened his
         mouth to scream. Ron's ears were immediately filled with the
         sound of a soul in outraged torment.  Deedee had never seen him like this. He
         was having a full-blown temper tantrum! Ron drummed his
         heels on the padding of the playpen, lifting his legs and
         slamming his feet down with all the force his infant body
         could muster. Deedee's eyes widened in fear as she witnessed
         Ron's transformation into a maelstrom of infant fury! The
         old Ronny that she had loved was gone, leaving an enraged
         infant in need of an immediate diaper change in his place.
         Deedee began inching her bottom back on the pad of the
         playpen, moving herself quietly away from the tiny hurricane
         of emotions in front of her. Kimberly heard Ron's screams and hurried
         to get dressed again to see what was the matter. She rushed
         from the bathroom at a dead run. She had never heard a baby
         cry so insistently. Something terrible must be happening to
         one of the babies! When she arrived, she saw the sopping
         diaper that tugged at Ron's waist. He was soaked! Kimberly
         bent over to sooth Ron and said, "There, there, Ron-Ron!
         Don't cry! Kimberly's here. She'll get that nasty old diaper
         off of you and get you into a clean diaper right
         now!" Ron had paused when he heard Kimberly
         speaking to him through the din and looked up at her with an
         expression of intense gratefulness even though she was using
         a baby name for him. But when he heard her promise to diaper
         him again, he began yelling anew. He didn't want to be
         diapered again. He wanted to be his old self. He wanted to
         wear adult briefs and pants, damnit, not another humiliating
         diaper!  Kimberly walked around the playpen and
         picked Ron up from behind. Aside from not wanting to lay
         Ron's dripping diaper next to her clothes, she was afraid
         that he might start beating on her with his tiny fists.
         Kimberly had never seen an infant that was so angry. She
         turned to carry Ron to the nursery, leaving Deedee where she
         was in the playpen. As she quickly walked to the nursery,
         she held him out in front of her with his body suspended by
         her hands under his armpits. She knew she had to hurry
         before the pee laden diaper slid off his bottom and fell on
         the floor. It was already halfway down his behind. The
         weight of the urine it had soaked up was forcing it
         inexorably down under the force of gravity. She only had
         seconds before the top of the diaper cleared the curve of
         his baby rump and the diaper went into free-fall. She made
         it to the changing table just in time. She saddled up next
         to the table and swung his body out as she lowered his feet
         to the table. The force of the swing gave enough momentum to
         the wet mass between his legs to pull the diaper over his
         bottom and down his calves. As she dropped his bottom to the
         table, the diaper slid off of his feet to land with a soggy
         plop on the end of the changing table. Kimberly laid him
         down on his back, then grabbed his feet with both hands and
         pulled him down the table to center him. Then she snatched
         up the restraining strap and buckled it tightly around his
         waist, cinching it down to keep him from escaping the belt.
         Kimberly gingerly untaped the sides of the diaper, glancing
         inside to see if he had pooped. He hadn't, it wouldn't be
         necessary to cleanse his bottom with more than a quick swipe
         of the babywipe. She folded the diaper into an impromptu
         package and taped it shut before tossing it into the garbage
         pail, then snapped open the buckle on the restraining strap
         to allow her access to his bottom. Kimberly took his feet in
         one hand and lifted his legs a foot in the air while
         reaching under him with a babywipe in the other hand.  She
         made quick work of his behind and slid a clean diaper
         beneath him on the table. Then she gently lowered his feet
         to the table and carefully wiped down his pubes. Ron was
         mortified. His rage had abated with the absence of the soggy
         diaper but the sight of his sister-in-law looming over him
         while she wiped away his products of his excretory system
         was horribly embarrassing. He turned his head away and
         stared at the wall as she took the container of baby powder
         and began sprinkling it's soft contents over his pubic area.
         Then she took her fingertips and slowly rubbed the powder
         into every fold and crevasse of his skin. Ron moaned in a
         blend of semi-erotic pleasure and humiliated shame. Kimberly
         saw the distressed expression on his face and grabbed a
         pacifier that lay on the back of changing table. She popped
         it in his mouth, saying, "ShhhhÖRon-Ron! Don't worry,
         Honey! It will all be over in a minute. I know you're
         uncomfortable lying there naked, but I'm hurrying as fast as
         I can. Aunt Kimberly will have you in a nice clean diaper
         before you know it!" "Aunt Kimberly?", Ron thought to himself
         in dismay, "Oh God! She's gone from being my sister-in-law
         to my aunt in an hour! I'll never be able to look her in the
         face again. What if I shit in my pants? I'll never live it
         down! Every time I'll look at her in the future and see her
         smiling, I'll think of this! Oh God, what have I Done to
         deserve this? I wasn't a bad man. I was a good husband to
         Deedee!"  Kimberly wrapped her fingers around Ron's
         scrotum and rolled his tiny testicles around in her hand to
         work the soothing powder into the delicate skin of the sac.
         Ron shivered involuntarily as a wave of physical pleasure
         thrilled up his spine unbidden. "Oh God!", Ron thought to
         himself in desperation, "She's making me horny!" Ron's infantized reflexes took over and
         he began sucking on the pacifier furiously as the waves of
         pleasure increased in intensity. He was beside himself;
         Kimberly's massage was having an unintended side effect. The
         combination of his acute embarrassment and her ministrations
         was giving him a miniature erection. If he had been in his
         adult body, he would have stood up as straight as a
         flagpole. As it was, his tiny tumescent condition was
         painfully obvious to his sister-in-law. Ron couldn't help
         it. He had never had any designs on Kimberly, but her
         manipulations of his infantile organ made his erection
         inevitable. He wanted to crawl away and die! What would
         Deedee say when she found out he had had an erection in
         front of Kimberly? Visions of long painful explanations and
         apologies to his wife for his unwarranted sexual behavior in
         Kimberly's presence danced in front of his eyes. Even if she
         accepted his account of what happened, he would suffer. Ron
         could imagine Kimberly and Deedee laughing about his
         infantile lack of control and making jokes at his expense.
          His ordeal drew to a close as Kimberly
         pulled the soft padding up between his legs and began
         fastening the tape on one side. Ron heaved a sigh of relief
         and let the pacifier fall from his lips as she pulled the
         diaper tight across his waist and taped down the other side.
         He was safe. His erection was securely hidden behind the
         thick disposable to wilt of it's own accord. Kimberly picked
         Ron up and held him to her chest to comfort him. She had
         seen his minuscule erection and had divined the cause of his
         emotional discomfort. Kimberly held him as she would any
         infant, letting his head look over her left shoulder as she
         held his body securely with her left arm under his bottom
         and supporting his thighs. She took her free hand and began
         patting the back of his diaper absentmindedly while she
         murmured consoling maternalisms into his ear. Ron whimpered
         once and lay his head against her neck in emotional
         exhaustion. His temper tantrum had depleted his energy
         reserves and the humiliation of being sexually aroused by
         his sister-in-law had made him as weak as a kitten. Ron's
         ability to resist his babyfication was gone. He lay
         passively against Kimberly waiting for her next move. Ron
         sniveled a few times, prompting Kimberly to hug him closer
         to her and pat his back gently in an effort to quiet him. He
         shivered once and lay still as she wrapped her hand around
         his back and carried him back into the living room.  When Kimberly sat Ron in the playpen with
         Deedee, Deedee saw that he had recovered somewhat from his
         anger. His face was still red and puffy from the crying and
         his nose was running, but the maddened look of fury had
         disappeared from his eyes. Ron sat listlessly as Kimberly
         bustled away to the kitchen. Deedee crawled tentatively over
         to her infant husband and gave him a quick peck on the cheek
         with her lips before dropping back to see his reaction. Ron
         smiled sadly in response at her attempt to make him feel
         better and picked up the toy truck that lay by his side.
         Deedee smiled shyly at him and picked up another one of the
         toys to keep him company while he diverted himself from his
         troubles with his truck.  Ron put the truck on the mat of
         the playpen beside him and began running the truck back and
         forth while he thought about what had happened to him.
         "There wasn't any need for me to get that excited about
         wetting my diaper," he decided, "I'm a baby, what do they
         expect? I Don't have any  control over what my bladder did.
         My bladder became full and loosed itself of it's own accord.
         There isn't any reason to feel guilty. Deedee didn't behave
         that way when she wet her diaper. Of course, she's a lot
         more experience wearing diapers than I do. My emotions ran
         completely away with me. I threw a temper tantrum like I was
         a one year old."  Ron smiled grimly to himself as he
         imagined the scene he must have made. He dimly remembered
         drumming his feet against the mat of the playpen and shaking
         his fists. He must have been a sight. He felt grateful to
         Kimberly for her understanding treatment of him. She hadn't
         scolded or made comments about his erection, she had merely
         picked him up and held him until he quieted. Deedee wouldn't
         blame him for his erection if she found out. Baby boys had
         erections all the time when they were being diapered. Deedee
         knew that. She was a nurse. "Oh, they might kid me about it
         later," he thought, "...but it won't be serious. They'll
         know it wasn't intentional. I'll probably laugh right along
         with them...That is of course, when I'm back to my old self
         and wearing proper clothes." Ron smiled in amusement as he imagined
         the conversation that would take place as they sat around
         the kitchen table, sipping coffee and discussing what had
         happened. Deedee saw the smile on his face and took it as a
         sign that he had gotten over his fit of temper. His anger
         always passed like that; he had the typical high-strung
         personality of a Virgo. The petit vexations of living would
         bore their way through the clinks in his analytical armor
         like vermin infesting the gambeson of a medieval knight. Ron
         would bear his burden silently, his emotions building slowly
         to a crescendo that climaxed in a cathartic explosion. Once
         his energies had been dissipated on his pique, he was at
         peace with the world again. She crept up close to him and
         rolled a soft sculpture alphabet block in front of his
         moving truck to simulate a collision. Ron hit the rolling
         block with the front of his truck and flashed her a quick
         smile of comradeship and love. She giggled in return and
         rolled another block at his truck from further out. Ron ran
         his truck out to hit the block and almost missed it. His
         coordination was off and he had difficulty timing the
         truck's movement to the block's wildly careening tumble.
         Deedee launched another block and the game was on. Ron hit
         two, then miss one completely before he got on his hands and
         knees and got serious about the game. Deedee knelt on the
         opposite side of the playpen and launched block after block
         at his truck. Soon the two of them were laughing and
         giggling uproariously over the toys in the playpen.  Kimberly heard the commotion in the
         kitchen and smiled as she prepared their lunch. It sounded
         like Dee and Ron were having a ball in the playpen. As
         Kimberly put their bottles of formula in a pot of water on
         the stove to warm, she thought it was a shame that their
         lunch would be ready so soon. They sounded like they were
         really enjoying themselves. Kimberly came out of the kitchen
         and got Ron out of the playpen first. Deedee was such a
         sweet baby that she knew that she wouldn't fuss when her
         playmate was taken away from her to eat. She'd sit happily
         in the playpen and amuse herself with her toys while
         Kimberly got Ron fed. Once his tummy was full, he'd be less
         likely to throw another temper tantrum. He'd probably sink
         into a sated lethargy after he'd eaten and give Kimberly a
         chance to get Dee fed.  Kelly carried Ron into the kitchen and
         sat him in the high chair. She snapped the plastic feeding
         bib around his neck before sitting down in front of him with
         a open jar of baby food. Kimberly had decided to feed him
         strained plums for lunch. It wasn't exactly the most
         nutritious of meals, but she didn't want him to start crying
         again. She hoped that the sweet fruit might help keep his
         mood light and help him deal with his unexpected
         transformation into an infant. She intended to feed Deedee a
         regular lunch when it was her turn. She was used to eating
         baby food and wouldn't object to an infant's diet the way
         Ron might without preparation. She'd feed Ron a proper meal
         at dinner that night after he had gotten used to the idea of
         eating strained foods. It was either that or put him on a
         strict diet of formula. Kimberly shuddered when she thought
         of how he would react to the diarrhea it would cause.
         Especially if he was hungry for solid food. Besides, she
         wasn't sure of how his system would respond if she fed him a
         liquid diet while he was a baby and then became an adult
         again. He might find himself having an "accident" in his
         pants after he had been restored to adulthood. The thought
         of Ron pooping in his briefs did nothing to make Kimberly
         feel secure. Even if she was his sister-in-law, he'd be
         absolutely livid if she caused him to mess his pants like an
         infant. It was bad enough that she was party to his
         accidental transformation. It might take him weeks to get
         over this experience as it was. She wasn't about to add to
         his unhappiness by making him bowel incontinent as an adult.
          Kimberly ladled the strained plums in
         Ron's mouth by the spoonful. Ron seemed to enjoy the food;
         he ate every mouthful that she gave him without rancor. Ron
         smiled toothlessly as she scraped the inside of the jar and
         gave him the last of the plums. Then she wiped his mouth
         with a dishtowel and gave him a bottle of warm formula to
         drink. Ron looked at the nipple for a moment as if steeling
         himself for the act of suckling, then he took the artificial
         teat in his mouth and began to suck as if it were his daily
         fare. He worked on the nipple industriously as she opened
         the jar of pureed macaroni and cheese for Deedee's lunch and
         selected the dessert she would feed her. She finally decided
         on giving Deedee pureed bananas for her dessert, leaving the
         jar of chocolate pudding for her dinner. Kimberly wasn't
         exactly enthralled with the idea of feeding an infant
         chocolate pudding. All the baby books recommended against it
         and she was aware of how chocolate caused relaxation of the
         epiglottis and fostered regurgitation. Still, Deedee had
         been insistent that she get chocolate pudding and Kimberly
         thought that one small container probably wouldn't hurt her.
         One the other hand, she intended to feed the both of them
         their dinners early so they'd have time to digest their meal
         before she put them in their crib for the night. She had no
         intention of having to change the sheets on the crib and
         clean up two soiled babies if the chocolate made her spit
         up. If Deedee was going to spit up, then she'd rather have
         her do it in the playpen where the pad was soil and stain
         proof.  Kimberly was just finishing when she
         heard the slurping sound of an empty baby bottle behind her.
         She turned around and took the bottle from Ron's hand before
         he dropped it and gave him a few light pats on the back. Ron
         belched loudly with a look of satisfaction written on his
         face and gave her a smile of thanks for her assistance.
         Kimberly tussled his hair affectionately and said, "Was that
         good, Ron-Ron? You sure finished that bottle quickly! You
         must have been thirsty. What do you say to going back to the
         playpen while Aunt Kimberly feeds Dee? Would that be okay
         with you?" Ron nodded his agreement and she removed
         his feeding bib and carried him back to the playpen. Deedee
         was overjoyed at the prospect of lunch; she chortled in
         delight as Kimberly lifted her out of the playpen and toted
         her into the kitchen. After sitting her in the high chair
         and fastening the bib around her neck, Deedee grinned in
         anticipation of her meal. Deedee loved the macaroni and
         cheese even though the manufacturer had reduced it to a
         goopy purÈe. She gobbled every bite as fast as
         Kimberly could spoon it in her mouth. By the time the jar
         was empty, Deedee was a glorious joyful mess. Her lower face
         was covered by a thick circle of yellow-orange cheese that
         surrounded her mouth and sprayed outward toward the back of
         her head. She looked like a mad makeup artist who
         specialized in clownfaces created in processed cheese had
         visited her. The ring around her mouth formed a large "O"
         and there were spots of cheese on either cheek. Even the tip
         of her nose had a base coat of liquid cheese. Deedee loved
         it. Her eyes lit up with delight as she stuck her tongue
         through her artificially enlarged yellow grin to try to lick
         the cheese from her upper lip. Deedee contorted her facial
         muscles and flapped her arms wildly on either side of her
         head in an attempt to use body english to coordinate her
         tongue. Kimberly paused as she got up to get her dessert and
         chuckled at Deedee's antics, shaking her head at Deedee's
         ridiculous appearance. When Deedee finally made contact with
         the cheese, she chortled in glee as the tip of her tongue
         managed to capture a portion of her errant lunch. Kimberly
         retrieved the second jar and opened it as she sat down to
         feed Deedee her dessert. The aroma of ripe bananas exploded
         into Deedee's baby-sensitive nose as Kimberly put down the
         lid and lifted the spoon from the tray of the high chair.
         Deedee closed her eyes and opened her mouth expectantly in
         anticipation of  the fruity dessert. When Kimberly spooned
         in the first mouthful, Deedee half-closed her jaw and loosed
         a loud "Mmmm" of appreciation. Gobs of purÈed banana
         squeezed from her open mouth, dripping from her slack lips
         and oozing its way down her chin to fall into the catch
         pocket of her bib. Deedee was in Seventh Heaven. Her eyes
         shown as she waited for Kimberly to repeat the process and
         fill her mouth with more dessert. Kimberly laughed as
         Deedee's lips closed around the second spoonful and she
         aphasically moaned in infantine pleasure again. Deedee
         kicked her legs up and down demandingly as she swallowed the
         second mouthful and prepared herself for the third. Her eyes
         rolled up expressively as she waved her arms to signal her
         readiness. She tilted her head back on her shoulders and
         opened her mouth like a baby bird waiting for her mother to
         drop her meal in from above. Kimberly obliged her
         rejuvenated sister by letting another spoonful of bananas
         fall from the bowl of the spoon into Deedee's open mouth. It
         struck home beneath Deedee's tongue. When Deedee righted her
         head to swallow, a pale yellow sludge squished out of her
         lips and fell onto the waiting bib. Deedee clapped her hands
         together happily at the wet sound of the purÈed
         banana hitting the hard plastic of the bib, opening her lips
         once again for another mouthful. Kimberly continued to ladle
         in the baby food until the jar was empty, then paused to see
         the damage that Deedee's feeding had Done. Deedee was a
         sight to behold. Her entire lower face was covered in
         concentric yellow and orange rings that joined together at
         the base of her chin. The bib was painted with splashes of
         varicolored baby food that had escaped Deedee's mouth.
         Somehow during the feeding, Deedee had managed to get baby
         food all over her hands and wrists. Her smell was a nearly
         indescribable admixture of baby odors. The sweet
         vanilla-like fragrance of baby powder that exuded from her
         disposable diaper mixed with the spicy perfume of ripe
         banana and the savory bouquet of cheese to produce a sharp,
         clean combination of odors that bespoke a happy well-fed
         infant. Kimberly shook her head at the charming sight that
         her sister made. She thought about it for a moment, then
         opened her purse that she had left on the kitchen table and
         withdrew a small camera. Deedee squealed in delight when she
         saw that Kimberly planned to take her picture. She grinned
         adorably for the lens and only winced a little when the
         flash went off in her eyes. Kimberly snapped several shots
         before laying the camera on thee table and going to the
         kitchen sink to get the dishtowel she had used to clean Ron.
         Kimberly gave Deedee's face a rough onceover with the cloth
         to capture the greater mess, then folded the damp dishtowel
         to wipe the smears that remained. She took the dishtowel to
         the sink and rinsed it under cold water before wringing it
         out and laying the soggy cloth on over the sink divider to
         drain. Kimberly got the last bottle of formula out of the
         cooling pot on the stove and tested the temperature of the
         liquid on the inside of her wrist before handing the bottle
         to her sister. Deedee grasped the bottle with both hands and
         expertly tipped the end of the bottle high in the air to
         maximize the flow as she pulled the nipple in her mouth.
         Seconds later, she was sucking noisily at her bottle. 
         Kimberly let her nurse at the bottle while she made a
         sandwich for herself and got the kitchen cleaned up. Then
         she sat down at the table beside Deedee and ate her lunch
         while Deedee finished her bottle. Kimberly had just finished
         her sandwich when Deedee polished off the dregs of the
         formula. Kimberly got up and set her plate down in the sink,
         then went over to Deedee and patted her on the back until
         she burped quietly. The soft noise Deedee emitted sounded
         more like a delicate coo from a baby girl than a
         full-fledged eructation. Kimberly smiled at how demurely her
         sister manage to behave even though she had been transformed
         into an infant. It was as if her manners were a central part
         of her being rather than a learned response. Kimberly took
         the bottle from Deedee's hands and set it on the table. Then
         she lifted Deedee from the high chair and settled her on her
         hip for the ride back to the living room.  Although Deedee's lunch hadn't taken
         long, Ron was dozing in the playpen by the time they got
         back. He had gradually fallen forward from his kneeling
         position to rest on the side of his face while his knees and
         legs remained as they were. Drool ran from the corner of his
         mouth to pool on the waterproof pad of the playpen while one
         of his arms was curled protectively in front of his head.
         His other arm looked like it was planning a sneak attack
         with his thumb on his mouth. His outstretched thumb was less
         than an inch away from his lips and looked like it was about
         to leap into his mouth at any minute. His soft baby snores
         drifted up from the mat of the playpen to greet Deedee when
         she arrived. Kimberly smiled at how sweet Ron looked. One
         would never guess from how he was sleeping that he had been
         a full-grown man that morning. She shook her head slightly
         and smiled down to Deedee at her side to see if she had seen
         Ron too. Deedee looked at Ron and grinned then glanced at
         Kimberly to see if she had observed Ron's position. When she
         looked up, she saw Kimberly's knowing smile beaming back at
         her. The two sisters exchanged smiles of agreement. Ron's
         infant reflexes had taken over while he slept and made him
         appear like a real baby. Deedee wondered what would happen
         if Ron was left in a baby's body for a week or two. She was
         sure that his infantized reflexes would begin to take over
         after a few days and he'd stat behaving like a baby no
         matter how he wanted to act. The temper tantrum he had
         earlier told her just how close he was to regressing
         emotionally into an infant. From the way he looked, Deedee
         thought that it wouldn't take much to push him over the edge
         into full infancy.  Kimberly grabbed Deedee under her armpits
         and hoisted her off of her hip to lower her quietly into the
         playpen beside Ron. She turned and went back into the
         nursery to get the crib ready for their nap, leaving Deedee
         to her own devices in the playpen. "After that big lunch
         that Dee just had," Kimberly thought to herself, "Öit
         won't be long before she goes nite-nite too. I'd better get
         the sheets tidied up before I bring them in here to take
         their afternoon naps. Once a get the two of them in this
         crib, there won't be room to straighten the sheet
         out." She paused after she got the sheet tucked
         in and thought about the toys lined up along the back rail
         of the crib. There were really too many of them in the crib
         for two babies to sleep comfortably. The question was, which
         ones should she remove? The decision for Dee was easy.
         Kimberly picked up her favorite toy rabbit and laid it to
         the side at the head of the bed. Assigning the proper toy to
         Ron was a bit harder. He hadn't been a baby long enough to
         establish a preference. In the end, she settled on an
         arm-sized teddy bear for him. Most baby boys liked teddy
         bears in Kimberly's experience and she gambled that Ron
         wouldn't be any different. She put a likely looking teddy at
         the head of the crib next to Deedee's rabbit and began
         moving the other toys to the lid of the toybox that sat at
         the foot of the crib. She lined them up carefully on top of
         the toybox to maintain the nursery's neat appearance as she
         removed them from the crib. When she was Done, she took two
         nighttime disposables from the shelf under the changing
         table and stuck the folded diapers in the supplies area at
         the rear of changing table. Once Deedee started looking
         sleepy, she didn't want to rouse her with too much activity
         before she put her down for a nap. Kimberly had babysat
         enough wakeful babies as a teenager to want to arouse a baby
         who wanted to sleep. She had learned her lesson then, get
         the baby changed into a clean diaper and into the crib with
         as little fussing as possible so their drowsiness wouldn't
         be affected.  Kimberly decided that she's dress the two
         of them warm before she put them down for their nap and went
         looking for Deedee's nightgown. She found it in the drawer
         that Deedee had described and draped it over the end of the
         crib before she started going through the drawers for
         something for Ron to wear. She found plenty of night things
         that would be appropriate for a baby girl to wear, but there
         wasn't anything that had been designed for a baby boy. At
         several minutes of fruitless searching, she settled on
         letting him wear a T-shirt for his nap. She draped it over
         the end of the crib next to Deedee's nightgown and went
         looking for another receiving blanket to tuck around Ron.
         She found one that matched the one in the crib at the back
         of the bottom drawer of the dresser and laid it in the crib
         on top of Deedee's old blanket.  Then she turned to go into
         the living room and see how the kids were doing. It had been
         about thirty minutes since Ron had been fed and he should be
         pooping in his diaper soon. She wanted to be there when he
         did and get him changed as soon as possible. Deedee watched as Kimberly left the room
         and grinned to herself as Kimberly passed from sight. Her
         mischievous streak had asserted itself and she wanted
         Kimberly out of the room before she indulged herself with a
         bit of naughtiness. If Kimberly had caught her she might
         find herself tummy down over Kimberly's lap getting a
         paddling for what she had planned. Deedee looked over at Ron
         and grinned. The opportunity to tease him was just to
         inviting to resist. Deedee could feel the warm dampness
         rising from the bottom of her diaper and knew that Ron was
         probably wet too. She decided to wake him up so he could see
         how warm and comfortable it felt to wear a diaper that had
         been recently wet. If she waited too long the pee would have
         a chance to cool and he would be understandably annoyed with
         the clammy feeling of the cold wet diaper. This was her
         chance to let him see how comfortable wearing a diaper could
         be.  She crawled over to Ron and poked him in
         the tummy with her fingertip. He was sound asleep and didn't
         noticed. "This calls for drastic measures!", she thought to
         herself and crept over to his feet. Then she sat on the mat
         at his feet and splayed her legs on either side of his so
         she would have her hands free for what she had planned.
         Deedee bent over and began tickling his feet with both of
         her hands simultaneously. Ron moaned and kicked but didn't
         wake. She renewed her assault on his feet with better
         results the second time. He moaned in his sleep and opened
         his eyes in horror. He was being tickled! He squirmed on the
         mat but Deedee's position made it impossible for him to
         escape the torture if he remained where he was. Deedee went
         from one foot the other until he woke enough to get up on
         his hands and knees to crawl away from her. Once he was on
         the other side of the playpen, Ron sat down and yawned
         hugely. He was a little irritated with Deedee for waking
         him. He had been sleeping soundly and dreaming that he was
         closing a deal with a television producer to sell a script.
         She had woken him just as the producer handed him the check
         for the script. Somehow in the dream he had never learned
         just how much he was to get for the sale of the script and
         the check was the first chance he had to see how much money
         he was going to make from his work. When Deedee work him, he
         was just bending over to read the amount on the check. Now
         the opportunity to see what he would have made was lost
         forever.   Ron rubbed the sleep from his eyes as
         Deedee crawled to a spot in front of him. She reached out
         with one of her hands and pushed on the bulge in Ron's
         diaper. Ron dropped his hands immediately and looked at her
         in shock. He had wet his diaper in his sleep! Ron moved his
         legs tentatively and discovered that he was sopping wet. He
         had been too sleepy to notice that the bottom of the diaper
         was wet when he sat down, but once he moved, he could feel
         the soggy padding beneath his bottom squish wetly. The pee
         was too fresh to have cooled more than a few degrees and he
         found himself wrapped in the warm, damp cocoon of the
         diaper. Ron's reaction to the condition of his diaper was
         more rational than the first time he had wet in one. He
         smiled at Deedee uncertainly and patted the front of his
         diaper clumsily with the palm of his hand to indicate to
         Deedee he was wet. Deedee grinned back at him and reached up
         with both hands to grab the padded railing of the playpen.
         Then she hoisted herself up using the railing and stood
         beside him in the pen. Deedee smiled invitingly at Ron and
         patted the front of her own diaper as if to say that she too
         was wet. Ron laboriously got on his knees, then used the
         railing to pull himself up to stand next to Deedee. Deedee
         took his wrist in her hand and pulled it to her diaper. With
         a broad grin on her face, she forced his hand down to the
         area between her legs. The minute he touched her diaper, Ron
         could feel something beating against the inside of her
         diaper. The plastic of the disposable diaper quickly grew
         hot under his palm and he realized that she was peeing right
         in front of him! Deedee giggled at Ron's consternated
         expression and made no attempt to control her infant
         bladder. Suddenly, Ron felt something happening behind him.
         His expression changed into one of utter horror as his
         bowels began to release and he began pooping in his diaper.
         Deedee instantly realized what was happening. She put her
         arms around his shoulders and hugged him for the first time
         since their transformation. He put up his arms and clumsily
         hugged her back as he helplessly filled the rear of his
         diaper. Deedee held her breath and gave a slight push and
         then she too was pooping. Within minutes the two of them had
         finished.  Deedee took her arms down from Ron's
         shoulders and took him by the hand to lead him to the center
         of the playpen. Ron noticed that she seemed to have better
         control of her muscles than he had of his muscles. She
         seemed to glide about the playpen effortlessly while he was
         struggling to walk without falling. He considered a moment
         and realized that little girl's bodies were better developed
         than boy's bodies at the same age.  He toddled after her awkwardly and stood
         beside her as she lowered herself to sit on the mat. Once
         her bottom was firmly planted on the mat, she grabbed his
         hand and pulled him down to sit beside him. Ron squatted
         down to try to lower his poop-filled diaper gingerly to the
         mat, but when he got his bottom close, his anal sphincter
         released again and he farted loudly. Deedee chortled in glee
         and tugged on his arm to get him to sit. Deedee's tug
         overbalanced Ron and he fell to the side on top of her.
         Deedee took his fall as a desire to wrestle. She giggled as
         she wrapped her arms around him and rolled to the side,
         carrying him with her. Ron desperately tried to extricate
         himself from her grip, but soon discovered that she was too
         strong for him. In a panic, he tried to tell her that he
         didn't want to play but all that came out of his mouth was
         an infant's babble. Then he too was caught up in the spirit
         of play and he laughed as he tried to pin her with a
         wrestler's hold. Deedee moved like lightening and converted
         his grip to one of her own. Within seconds, Ron felt himself
         flipped over on his back and being pinned to the mat by her
         weight. He looked up into her face and saw her grinning at
         him in triumph. Drool ran from her chin and dripped onto the
         side of his face as she craned her neck and gave him a wet
         kiss on the mouth. Then she rolled off his body and helped
         him sit up beside her. When Ron sat up, he realized that
         their wrestling had smeared the poop in his diaper. When he
         tried to shift his weight, he slid within the slippery
         confines of his diaper until he was stopped by the limits of
         the disposable. Ron paused for a moment and realized that
         the horror he had felt a few minutes before at pooping
         himself had gone. He didn't feel guilty about his
         incontinence anymore! Just then Deedee farted and began to
         giggle uproariously. Ron started giggling and within
         minutes, the two of them were laughing so hard their tummies
         hurt.  Kimberly entered the living room to find
         two stinky babies rolling around in their dirty diapers and
         laughing uncontrollably. She grinned at her two charge's
         silly behavior and said, "Okay babies, it's time to go
         nite-nite! Kimberly's going to get you cleaned up and into
         some clean diapers, then she'll put the two of you down for
         your nap." She picked up Ron first and carried him
         at arm's length to the nursery.  Kimberly laid him down on
         the changing table and removed the tapes on the sides of his
         diaper. "Whoo!", she said as she pulled the diaper down
         between his legs to expose the mess he had made, "You sure
         are a stinky baby! Let Kimberly get you cleaned up so you
         can be her sweet, little baby. Okay, Ron-Ron?" Ron nodded and lay quietly while she
         lifted his legs and scrubbed the poop from his bottom with a
         babywipe. The guilt he had felt earlier when she changed his
         wet diaper was gone. All he felt now was relief that she was
         going to get him cleaned up and changed. While she worked,
         he mused on the peculiar way his name sounded when she said
         it. Somehow it didn't sound the same way it had when she
         greeted him that morning. There was a lilt and singsong to
         the way she said it that summoned an image of a mother
         talking to her baby. It reminded him of how his mother used
         to talk to him when he was a little kid. The maternal tone
         in her voice made him feel like he was a toddler again. Ron
         knew Kimberly's coddling should have irritated him, but
         somehow it didn't. Instead, Ron found her attitude soothing
         to his nerves. He relaxed while she finished cleansing him
         and applied a thick coat of vaseline to his bottom before
         she lowered his bottom to the fresh diaper. Then she gave
         his crotch a light dusting of baby powder and taped him up
         before sitting him up on the surface of the table. She took
         the T-shirt she had laid aside for him to wear and gathered
         up one of the sleeves in her hands, then she held the shirt
         in one hand and worked his tiny fist through the sleeve.
         When she had finished with one hand, she repeated her
         actions on his other hand before she lifted both arms and
         pulled the shirt down around his head. Then Kimberly pulled
         the bottom of the shirt down over his protuberant belly and
         evened the fall of the hem around his waist. "There you go,
         Ron-Ron! You're as snug as a bug in a rug!", she said as she
         bent over and kissed his forehead in a motherly fashion.
         "Let's get you in your crib so I can go get baby sister."
          So saying, she lifted him from the
         changing table and lowered him into the crib. She turned and
         left the room to go get Deedee, leaving him wondering about
         the import of what she had just said. "Baby sister?", Ron
         thought to himself querulously, "I wonder how she means
         that? Does she mean her baby sister? Or did she mean that
         Deedee is MY baby sister? I get the distinct impression that
         she's forgotten who I am! Ever time she talks, I get the
         feeling she's thinks she's talking to an infant. What's
         more, it doesn't bother me the way it should. I should be
         fighting this at every turn. Instead, she comes into the
         living room to find Deedee and me rolling around in the
         playpen like infants. What's happening to me? I should be
         trying to convince her that I'm still an adult! Instead she
         discovers me laughing and playing in a dirty diaper like I
         haven't a care in the world. What's wrong with me? I'm
         beginning to enjoy this!" Ron was still wondering about his change
         in attitude when Kimberly arrived with Deedee. She put
         Deedee on the changing table and made quick work of cleaning
         her up while Ron watched from the playpen. While she was
         changing Deedee's diaper, Kimberly cooed down at her sister
         and lavished love throughout the process. Deedee ate it up.
         She cooed back at Kimberly adorably and acted is if Kimberly
         was her mother. When Kimberly bent over the naked body of
         her sister and put her lips to Deedee's belly button to make
         a bronx cheer, Deedee laughed as if it was the most amusing
         thing in the world. She continued to laugh long after
         Kimberly stopped blowing on her stomach and began putting
         her in a clean diaper. When she finished, she got Deedee's
         gown and put it on Deedee in much the same way she had the
         T-shirt on Ron. Then she lifted Deedee from the changing
         table and gently shook the gown over Deedee's feet. As an
         afterthought, Kimberly took two pacifiers from the clear
         acrylic jar on the changing table and placed them in her hip
         pocket before she put Deedee down for her nap.  Ron gave the gown a curious sidewise look
         as Kimberly carried Deedee to the crib to join him. He had
         the feeling he had seen the gown before. It was a
         full-length nightgown, made out of pink blanket bunting with
         lace around the collar and bottom hem. When Kimberly stopped
         in front of the crib and turned so he could see the Deedee's
         chest as she held her in one arm, Ron could see that there
         were three cartoon sheep appliques on the gown at breast
         level. The gown was just like Deedee's favorite "baby"
         outfit, except it had been reduced to infant size! When she
         put Deedee down on the mattress, Ron could see that there
         was a small difference he couldn't see from the front. There
         weren't any buttons on the back the way there were on the
         original outfit. This gown had been made to go over a baby
         girl's body without having to button and unbutton it. When
         Ron thought about it, the arrangement made sense. Deedee's
         full sized gown had to have buttons to dress her because her
         size as an adult made it almost impossible to change her
         diapers otherwise. But as a baby, she was so small that it
         was easy to lift her up and pull the gown out of the way. In
         addition, a baby would be more likely to be restless and
         snag the buttons on the crib sheet when she slept. Since the
         gown was a pullover, there was nothing on the rear of the
         gown to catch the bedclothes if she tossed and turned in her
         sleep. Kimberly carefully lay Deedee down on the
         mattress and picked up her toy bunny from the foot of the
         crib. She put the bunny in Deedee's arms to cuddle and
         reached in her pocket to get out one of the pacifiers she
         had placed there earlier. Then she popped the pacifier in
         Deedee's mouth and covered her with one of the receiving
         blankets. Kimberly tucked her sister in gently before
         turning her attentions to Ron and tucking him in at the
         opposite end of the crib. She gave him the teddy bear to
         hold before she spread the old receiving blanket over his
         tiny body and tucked it in around his feet. Just before she
         left the cribside, Kimberly took the second pacifier from
         her pocket and put it in Ron's mouth. He squirmed a bit in
         embarrassment at the unwanted intrusion into the privacy of
         his mouth, but decided that he could let it fall from his
         lips when Kimberly left the room. He didn't feel like
         getting into a contest of wills with Kimberly over the
         pacifier. As soon as she was gone, he could get rid of it
         without anyone being the wiser. A minute or so after his
         lips sensed the pacifier however, his muscles responded
         automatically and began sucking. Ron was surprised by the
         pleasant sensations that his sucking produced. Suckling the
         pacifier gave him an irresistible feeling of security and
         well-being.  Ron found that his eyelids were beginning
         to droop and he was feeling very drowsy. He realized that in
         a few minutes he'd be fast asleep. Apparently the
         combination of his comfortable surroundings coupled with his
         infant body's natural desire for an afternoon nap was
         lulling him asleep. He decided under the circumstances that
         he'd leave  in place, he had something important he wanted
         to do before he fell asleep. Ron dropped the teddy bear and
         pulled the blanket away from his legs. With the corner of
         the blanket in hand, he began crawling on his hands and
         knees over to where Deedee lay on the mattress. Then he lay
         down beside his infant wife and pulled the blanket roughly
         over his exposed legs. Deedee stared at him with wide eyes
         as he rolled over on his side and put his arm around her
         protectively. The last thing he saw before sleep overtook
         him was the ends of a smile peeking around the shield of the
         pacifier in Deedee's mouth. He smiled contentedly back at
         her, knowing that most of his smile would be hidden from
         Deedee's view by the pacifier in his mouth. Deedee watched
         Ron's eyes close and his breathing slow as he fell into a
         deep slumber. She saw the smile that was hiding behind his
         pacifier and was pleased that Ron that he was feeling better
         about being rejuvenated. Maybe he'd join her in babyhood in
         the future. She had been so worried about him when he threw
         his temper tantrum. It looked like he was finally adjusting
         to his body and status. He was finding out just how
         comfortable being a baby could be. She hoped he would feel
         the same way when he awoke from his nap. She liked sharing
         her crib with him. While he could not be very protective in
         his current state, she felt more secure with him at her
         side. She snuggled next to him and closed her eyes to go to
         sleep. Kimberly would wake them in a few hours and they
         could play some more then. Napping too, was a part of the
         total baby experience and she didn't want to miss a moment
         of it. A minute later, her soft snores joined Ron's and they
         slumbered peacefully until Kimberly came to rouse them from
         their nap. Kimberly went to the living room and
         turned on the TV to watch while the little ones were asleep.
         She decided to let them sleep until just before dinner.
         After all, the lamp's spell was supposed to wear off later
         in the evening. She wasn't worried that the babies wouldn't
         get to sleep that night if she threw off their rhythms by
         letting them have a long nap. Once they changed back into
         adults, Deedee and Ron were on their own and could manage
         for themselves. In the meantime, Kimberly had two exhausted
         infants to babysit and she wanted them to get the sleep
         their little bodies demanded. If she kept them up to play,
         the two of them would grow irritable and fussy. She didn't
         want to deal with another one of Ron's temper tantrums again
         if she could avoid it. His fit of infantile pique over his
         soggy diaper had almost destroyed the afternoon for
         everyone. Kimberly wanted her sister to have pleasant
         memories of her experiences as a real baby. Certainly she
         deserved them, Deedee was the sweetest, most adorable baby
         Kimberly had ever babysat. It was too bad that Deedee had
         been born before her so she didn't have a chance to babysit
         her sister when she was young. It would have been fun to
         have a baby sister to take care of when she was growing up.
         As it was, Kimberly was having a ball taking care of her
         sister and brother-in-law. She hoped they would take another
         baby vacation soon so she would get the chance to babysit
         them.  Kimberly mused about her brother-in-law
         while she sat on the couch, surfing across the TV channels
         with the remote control. Ron didn't seem to be as upset
         about his dirty diaper the second time around. Hopefully, it
         was a sign that he was adjusting to the baby experience. If
         it was true, Deedee would be so pleased. Deedee told her
         that she wanted him to have the same pleasant experiences
         that she had and had been a little disappointed in the past
         that he had declined the opportunity to join her in baby
         play. She was pleased that he enjoyed being her Daddy, but
         she was wistful about the idea of having him join her as a
         baby. She had confided to Kimberly that she wanted to rough
         house and play with Ron, but he was so afraid he might
         accidentally hurt her that he wouldn't permit it. Now that
         they were about a year old, Deedee was actually a little
         bigger and stronger than he was. Kimberly wasn't surprised
         by the apparent paradox, she knew that girls usually
         developed faster than boys in their early years. It wasn't
         until they were in their preteens that boy's bodies became
         larger and stronger. Kimberly had noted how easily Deedee
         threw back Ron's mock attacks when they were wrestling in
         the playpen. She had no doubt Deedee could hold her own
         without having to worry about any disparities in strength.
         Deedee was more than a match for Ron's strength at her
         body's stage of development. Ron would have to work hard to
         have any chance of pinning her in a wrestling match.  She finished her sandwich and set the
         jars out on the kitchen table so they'd be ready when she
         brought the kids in for dinner. Then she turned on the
         burner underneath the pot of water she had used to heat the
         kid's bottles for lunch. Kimberly went to the refrigerator
         and took out two bottles of formula as well as a pair of
         pudding containers. She noted that there were only two
         bottles of formula left in the refrigerator as she closed
         the door. Kimberly nodded to herself and thought as she put
         the bottles into the pot, "That should be enough formula to
         hold them until they change back into adults. I'll change
         their diapers when they finish their bottles. They'll have
         pooped in their diapers by then and they'll be ready to get
         cleaned up. Twenty minutes before they're supposed to begin
         their transformation back into adults, I'll take them out of
         their diapers and let them crawl on the floor naked. That
         way they won't have anything on when they start to get
         bigger. I wouldn't want them to get bruises from their
         diapers when their bodies start growing. If the tabs Don't
         release quickly enough, they might get some nasty bruises
         around their legs and waists. They'll be fine on the carpet
         in front of the TV where I can watch them. I'll only be
         twenty minutes. They shouldn't make any messes on the carpet
         in that short a time."  Kimberly went into the nursery and bent
         over the side of the crib quietly. She wanted to get Deedee
         out of the crib without waking Ron if possible. Both of them
         were sound asleep. They looked adorable; Ron had wrapped his
         arm protectively around Deedee's torso and was snoring to
         beat the band. Deedee's thumb had snuck up to her lips in
         her sleep and inserted itself into her mouth. Kimberly
         watched silently as Deedee's cheeks pulled in a few times
         and stopped momentarily. Then the action repeated itself as
         her cheeks pulled in again. Kimberly smiled to herself as
         she stood over her older sister. Deedee was unconsciously
         suckling her thumb in her sleep. Ron hardly moved  when
         Kimberly carefully moved his arm aside so she could lift
         Deedee from the mattress. Deedee uttered a single tiny
         whimper as her thumb was pulled from her mouth. Kimberly
         shushed her quietly and held her while she checked her
         diaper rapidly. Kimberly slipped three fingers of her hand
         down into the front of the diaper to see if it was wet. The
         diaper felt a little damp, but Kimberly thought that the
         diaper was dry enough to hold until after Deedee's
         breakfast. She settled Deedee on her right hip before she
         carried her into the kitchen. When they arrived, Kimberly
         stopped in front of the high chair and removed the tray
         temporarily so she could place Deedee's bottom into the
         chair. Deedee barely moved as Kimberly took the limp safety
         strap and brought it up between her legs and snapped the
         belt behind her. Then Kimberly snapped the feeding bib
         around Deedee's neck before she opened the jar of mixed
         vegetables and chicken that she had set out earlier for
         Deedee's dinner.  Kimberly ladled out the chicken dinner and
         said as the heaping spoonful neared Deedee's mouth, "Open
         wide, Dee! Open the hanger so the airplane can come in for a
         landing!" Deedee opened her mouth dutifully as
         Kimberly placed the spoon in her mouth accompanied by the
         sound effect of a plane landing.
         "BrrrrrrrrÖ.putt-putt-puttÖrrrrrrmmm!", Kimberly
         sounded as Deedee closed her mouth around the spoon, "Keep
         the hanger doors closed, Baby! You Don't want the plane to
         get out!" Deedee kept her mouth closed as Kimberly
         pulled the spoon from between their lips and refilled it
         from the jar. Kimberly took another spoonful and brought it
         close to Deedee's mouth to wait until she swallowed the
         first mouthful. Deedee downed the pasty  mixture and  opened
         her mouth for a second spoonful. Kimberly dumped the second
         helping into her mouth and readied the third as she downed
         the second. Deedee was pleased by the meal, her infantized
         taste buds  perceived the food differently than they would
         have had she been an adult. She could easily differentiate
         the aroma of the dish into the separate vegetables that made
         up the mixture with her heighten senses. Even the small
         amount of chicken used to make the jar of baby food stood
         out clearly to her rejuvenated sensorium. Her adult tastes
         would have made her turn up her nose at the purÈed
         combination before her transformation. As an infant however,
         she enjoyed the concoction immensely. She grinned between
         helpings and opened her mouth avidly every time Kimberly got
         near her lips with another spoonful. Within minutes, the jar
         was empty and she was waiting expectantly for her dessert.
          Kimberly put the empty jar aside and took
         the container of chocolate pudding from the table where
         Deedee had been eyeing it. Kimberly removed the foil top and
         laid it on the table, then began spooning the rich brown
         crËme into hear sister's mouth. Deedee was ecstatic,
         the renewed sensitivity of her smell and taste made the
         chocolate pudding seem to explode in her mouth. When the
         second spoonful was placed in her mouth, Deedee felt a
         thrill of pure pleasure pervade her body. She closed her
         eyes and quivered in enjoyment when Kimberly gave her the
         third spoonful. Waves of pleasure rolled through her body as
         Deedee mushed the pudding against the insides of her cheeks
         and inhaled its intoxicating aroma. Her eyes glazed over in
         an infant version of sensual orgasm when Kimberly spooned in
         another helping before she swallowed the one she still held
         in her mouth. Deedee universe became a timeless series of
         mini-chocolate explosions as Kimberly continued to feed her
         pudding until the container was emptied.  When Kimberly
         finally stopped, Deedee heaved a sigh of repletion. The
         chocolate pudding had been the best that she had ever eaten.
         She had never dreamed that chocolate could taste that good.
         Just the memory of the experience was enough to rekindle a
         ghost of the orgasm she had had and make her quiver in
         pleasure. "Lord!", she thought to herself, "That pudding
         could be addicting! I've got to do that again and soon! I
         wonder if Ron would mind if I rejuvenated again tomorrow so
         he could feed me some chocolate pudding. I wouldn't have to
         be a baby for long, just an hour or two. This stuff is too
         good to pass up. I'll talk to him tomorrow morning and see
         how he feels about it. He might be a little miffed by having
         to be a baby himself the day before, but he shouldn't object
         to letting me be one again for a couple of hours. I'll
         explain about the pudding to him and see what he says. Who
         knows? Maybe the pudding will affect him the same way when
         he has his dinner."    Ron wasn't quite as enthusiastic about
         dessert as Deedee had been. He had enjoyed it immensely, but
         he didn't have overweening fondness for chocolate that
         Deedee had. Still, when the first rush of chocolate hit him
         as Kimberly fed him the initial spoonful, he chortled in
         unexpected delight as the intense aroma of chocolate filled
         his mouth. By the time Kimberly had finished feeding him his
         desert, his face was a brown smeared mess. He had found it
         impossible to keep still under the assault from the
         sense-staggering chocolate taste and had wriggled in
         pleasure as thrills of delight raced up and down his spine.
         Kimberly cleaned him up and took him to the living room to
         join Deedee while she nursed at her after dinner bottle. She
         sat him down in the playpen beside a recumbent Deedee who
         was lazing on her back while sucking contentedly on the warm
         formula. Her diaper was already soaked and getting wetter
         with every passing moment. Deedee moved her knees together
         idly while she suckled, enjoying the warm, squishy feeling
         the diaper gave her crotch when she compressed its sodden
         mass between her thighs.  Ron sat on his diapered bottom in the
         playpen and nursed at his bottle more delicately, watching
         the indolent movements of his infantized wife as she downed
         the contents of her bottle. He barely noticed when his
         bladder began relieving the mounting pressure and urine
         started streaming from his tiny penis into the absorbent
         folds of his diaper. Soon he was as soaked as Deedee was.
         Kimberly noticed their wet diapers from her position on the
         couch. She could hardly miss the drooping sag in the front
         of Ron's diaper and the deep clay-like wrinkles that
         remained on Deedee's diaper when she put her legs together.
         Deedee's diaper had lost its springiness under the influence
         of the fluid it had absorbed. Deep folds had formed down the
         front of the diaper on either side of the leg openings.
         Kimberly glanced at Deedee's face for the signs of what she
         knew would come next. When Deedee's face reddened as she
         began her involuntary push on the mass in her rectum, that
         would be the signal that she had begun to empty her bowels
         and poop in her diaper. A few minutes later it came.
         Deedee's eyes grew wide and her face blushed in mild
         exertion as she held her breath and expelled the contents of
         her bowels into the waiting folds of her diaper. Deedee
         sighed serenely and turned her head to smile at Ron. She
         knew that soon, he too would be messing in his diaper. He
         grinned back at her as the first rumblings of his gut
         signaled him that it was time to poop. He gave into the urge
         with abandon and began placidly filling the back of his
         diaper while Kimberly looked on. Kimberly smiled in approval
         at her charges as the reek meandered its way across the room
         towards her. The stench from their diapers hadn't hit her
         yet, but from the expressions on the baby faces in front of
         her there could be no doubt as to what they had just Done.
         Kimberly let them sit in their mess for a few minutes while
         they finished messing in their diapers. She was in no hurry
         to change them. If she got them into clean diapers too
         quickly, she would just have another set of diapers to
         change when they pooped again. They seemed to be unaffected
         by their dirty diapers at that moment, so it made good sense
         to let them completely empty themselves before she took them
         into the nursery to clean them up. When they were Done with
         their bottles, Kimberly got up from the couch and went over
         to the playpen. She bent down over the rail of the playpen
         and said in a cooing, melodious sing-song, "And which one of
         my little babies wants their diapers changed first? You sure
         are stinky little babies! Is anyone unhappy? No?  Then Aunt
         Kimberly will have to pick one of you at random."  She extended her index finger and pointed
         at Kimberly, saying, "Let's see, ennie, meenie, mienie, moe,
         catch a baby by his toe, if he hollers, let him go, ennie,
         meenie, mienie, moe!"  She smiled down at Ron affectionately as
         she said, "I guess you're first, Ron-Ron! Come on, baby.
         Let's get you cleaned up."  She turned back to Deedee and said to
         her, "You'll be okay while I get Ron-Ron's dirty dydee
         changed, won't you, Dee? No, dirty dydees Don't bother my
         baby sister, do they?" Deedee cooed contentedly back at Kimberly
         in answer while she lifted Ron from the playpen and hoisted
         him over the side. Kimberly held him close to her chest with
         his weight supported in the palm of her hand as she carried
         him back to the nursery for his final diaper change of the
         day. Ron was spared the embarrassment of looking her in the
         eye as she walked down the hall. His head was next to hers
         looking over her shoulder back at Deedee in her playpen. He
         could feel the poop spreading out over his bottom as his
         diaper pushed against the hand that kept him supported
         against her. The idea of having his bottom smeared with a
         coating of filth repulsed him, but somehow it was less
         distressing than it could have been. Ron accepted his loss
         of bowel control philosophically, knowing that soon he'd be
         back to normal.  Just before they reached the nursery,
         Ron's bowel fired its final shot before he was freed from
         the confines of his diaper. He loosed a long, sonorous fart
         that reverberated against Kimberly's hand. Ron blushed hotly
         in embarrassment as he felt a stream of pee rush from his
         penis into the diaper. Ron's heart sank, Kimberly was sure
         to feel the diaper grow hot on her hand as the flood of pee
         crept back between his legs and began crawling up the rear
         of his diaper. He wanted to apologize to her, but his
         inability to talk stymied him. He had never felt so helpless
         and embarrassed in his whole life! What would she say to
         him? Not only had he peed, but he had managed to do it in
         his sister-in-law's hand! It made him want to cry. If he
         hadn't been wearing a diaper, he'd have soaked the front of
         her blouse. Ron's head sank in shame as Kimberly walked the
         final yards to the nursery and he sighed in acceptance of
         his humiliation. There was nothing he could do about it now.
         All he could do was behave himself and let her remove the
         soiled diaper without any interference from him. He hoped
         she would understand and not say anything about the incident
         when he returned to normal. It wouldn't have been so bad if
         it had been Dee who had been carrying him. A wife could be
         reasonably expected to care for her incontinent husband. But
         peeing while his wife's younger sister was holding him made
         him feel like an baby in dire need of a mommy. He felt like
         she should be insulted by his behavior. If she wasn't
         insulted, he almost felt like that would make it worse. It
         would mean that she didn't expect any better behavior from
         him. It would be a validation of his babyhood. The idea of
         being thought of as a baby by Kimberly made him feel so
         alone. He wished that Dee was taking care of him instead of
         Kimberly. A shiver of anticipatory pleasure ran down his
         small spine when he thought of Deedee changing his diaper.
         "Oh my God!", he thought to himself, "I'm beginning to enjoy
         this! It's not the diaper change that bothers me. It's
         having Kimberly do it! My emotions are starting to regress!
         My subconscious wants Dee to be my mommy! Much more of this
         and I'll start thinking like an infant!"  The thought of loosing his ability to
         think depressed him and he laid his head against Kimberly's
         neck in search of human contact and comfort. Kimberly laid
         him on the changing table and cleaned him up quickly, making
         sure that she removed every trace of the filth that had
         oozed between his legs and made a thorough mess of his inner
         thighs. Instead of rediapering him, she left him as he was
         and picked him up to take him back to the living room in the
         altogether. Ron became acutely embarrassed when he realized
         that his bare bottom was being held by Kimberly's hand. The
         warmth of her palm reflected the heat from his bottom back
         at him, making him feel like somehow he had been
         involuntarily drawn into an illicit act. Only the sensation
         of having his bottom completely cupped in her hand reminded
         him that what he was feeling wasn't a prelude to sex, but
         the natural sensations of closeness a naked baby feels when
         he is carried by his mother. The tiny erection that had been
         growing next to Kimberly's blouse wilted with the
         realization of his infant status and he appeared normal as
         she lowered him into the playpen  to wait while she took
         Deedee to the nursery for her diaper change.  Deedee thoroughly enjoyed the ride back
         to the nursery. She had never felt closer to her sister in
         her entire life. She felt completely serene and comfortable
         in her sister's presence as she removed the poop from her
         behind. Deedee giggled and chortled as Kimberly carefully
         wiped Deedee's genitals. When she had finished, Kimberly
         picked Deedee's small body up from the changing table and
         carried her back to the nursery. Deedee's reaction to being
         held naked in her sister's arms was entirely different from
         Ron's experience. Deedee didn't find the sensations
         exciting, instead, she made her feel secure and loved.
         Deedee snuggled down against her sister's chest and lay her
         head against Kimberly's head affectionately. As far as she
         was concerned, her feelings of being cared for could go on
         forever. Deedee knew that she would feel a twinge of regret
         when she returned to normal. Her experience of being a baby
         again had been such a pleasant vacation from her
         responsibilities. It felt so good to let someone she trusted
         utterly take care of everything for her. It proved that she
         was loved for herself and not for what she did for her
         family. As a baby the only thing she could offer her family
         in return for their care was her unconditional love. Deedee
         closed her eyes and reveled in the feeling of being pampered
         by her sister. When Kimberly lowered her to sit on the mat
         of the playpen, she opened her eyes to watch her sister's
         retreating form and sighed in contentment.   Ron watched Deedee being put in the
         playpen and stared at Dee's nude body. Her breasts had
         melted into her body when she was transformed and she looked
         as flat-chested as a little boy. With her diaper on, he
         hadn't thought about how her genitals must look after she
         had been transformed. She sat innocently with her legs
         spread exposing them to the full view of Ron. Her genitalia
         were a mere promise of what they would become when they
         matured. With a sudden insight as to what he must look like,
         the thought occurred to Ron, "If her breasts look like that,
         what do I look like? Do I look as infantile as Dee?" Ron glanced down between his legs and was
         horrified to see how fat he had gotten. He pulled his tummy
         back with his hands and was shocked at the sight of his
         penis. It was only an inch long and his scrotum had shrunk
         until it was a tiny bag that lay tightly against his crotch.
         He couldn't even see his balls. He put his hand down to feel
         his testicles and discovered that they were so small he
         could barely feel them beneath their protective covering of
         skin. Finally he managed to trap one in a fold of his
         scrotum and was able to measure it with his fingertips. His
         balls were the size of peanuts. He craned his neck to look
         over his protruding stomach, but the large fold of baby fat
         around his waist obscured his view. He let go of his tummy
         and began to feel his testicles with both hands. His eyes
         took on a befuddled look as he fingered the skin of his
         scrotum to try to determine how far the transformation had
         gone. All he could feel beneath his fingertips was a
         shriveled sac. His eyes chanced to light on the toes of his
         feet and he noticed how short and chubby they were for the
         first time.   Deedee pulled her eyes away from Kimberly
         and turned her attention to Ron. He was sitting on the mat
         in front of her, looking every inch a baby. Drool ran down
         his chin and he sat stupidly looking at his tiny penis
         between his legs. "That odd expression on his face must mean
         he's finally seen what happened to his penis when he was
         turned into a baby. Poor little Ronny! He looks so confused.
         He looks like he's lost his best friend!" Deedee looked at the object of Ron's
         attention and thought with an amused snigger, "It's really
         tiny! No wonder he looks so concerned. His penis has changed
         from a full grown man's to being a baby's little wee-wee!"
          She crawled over to were he sat and was
         just about to poke him in the side to take his mind off of
         his troubles when she felt herself being lifted out of the
         playpen. Kimberly sat her down on the carpet and then
         straightened up. She stepped around to the other side of the
         playpen to be behind Ron and reached down into the playpen
         to grab him under his armpits. Ron was hoisted out of the
         playpen and swung over the mesh side to be lowered to the
         carpet to join Deedee. Deedee was already making the  most
         of her new found freedom. She crawled rapidly over to one
         side of the room and then turned around to explore the room
         from an infant's perspective. Ron watched her move with a
         grave expression on his face as if he could not quite make
         out what she was up to. His attention wavered as he caught a
         glimpse of his right hand. Curious, he brought his hand up
         to his face and studied the pudgy fingers that wriggled of
         their own accord in front of his eyes. He brought the back
         of his hand closer to his face so he could examine the
         delicate nail of his forefinger. The tip of his thumb
         touched his lips and in a flash, his mouth pulled in his
         thumb and began sucking it. Deedee squealed joyously at the
         sight of Ron sucking his thumb and diverted him from the
         examination of his hand. He looked over a Deedee to see what
         she was making her squeal so happily. As he watched Deedee
         charging towards him on her hands and knees, his fingers
         curled up in a fist allowing his thumb to be drawn further
         into his mouth. Kimberly sat on the couch watching the
         adorably naked babies in front of her and remembered the
         35mm camera that sat on top of the table at the side of the
         couch. Quickly, she snatched up the camera to capture the
         moment on film. She snapped several shots in quick
         succession, blinding her charges with the automatic flash as
         the high speed autowinder advanced the film automatically
         and prepared for the next shot. Just as the second shot
         popped the flash, the spell wore off. Instantly, Deedee and
         Ron bodies started returning to normal. In seconds, their
         bodies grew and matured to their adult state. Kimberly's
         finger wasn't quick enough to lift from the shutter trip
         button and the entire process was captured on film. As
         Kimberly watched through the viewfinder, she saw the
         adorable thumb-sucking baby boy she had been photographing
         turn into her brother-in-law sitting naked on the floor and
         sucking his thumb like an infant. Kimberly dropped the
         camera to her lap and said to her relatives, "Welcome back!
         Did you enjoy yourselves?" Deedee blinked to get the spots out of
         her eyes and started giggling at the sight of her full grown
         husband sucking his thumb. Ron looked at the two of them
         stupidly as if nothing had happened. The flash had drawn his
         attention when Kimberly had snapped the first picture and he
         had been looking directly at the camera as she snapped the
         rest of the shots. Ron's vision was obscured by the large
         purple spot that danced in front of his eyes and was fading
         rapidly to red. Deedee fell to the carpet as she struggled
         to stifle the howls of laughter that threatened to erupt
         from her mouth. Kimberly smiled at her brother-in-law and
         said gently, "You can stop sucking your thumb now, Ron. It's
         all over! You're an adult again." Ron hastily removed his thumb from his
         mouth as Kimberly got up from the couch with their robes in
         her hand. She tossed one on Deedee's convulsing form and
         handed the other to Ron, who snatched it from her hand to
         cover his nakedness. Ron dressed in the robe quickly and
         gathered his dignity as he stood up from his seat on the
         floor to go over to the easy chair. After a moment, Deedee's
         silent laughter quelled and she was able to sit up to dress
         herself in her robe. Deedee turned to her sister and said
         politely, "Thanks, Kimberly. That was fun! We'll have to do
         that again!" Deedee turned to Ron and said with some
         concern in her voice, "Ron? Honey? How are you
         feeling?" "Okay, I guess," he answered somewhat
         gruffly. "Did you enjoy yourself?", Deedee asked
         sweetly, "I know you didn't exactly ask to be turned into a
         baby, but I'm curious to find out if you want to do it
         again. I'm sure Kimberly would be willing to babysit." She
         lowered her head to cover the grin that appeared on her face
         as she continued, "Unless of course, you would rather have
         me be your mommy for a day." A strange look of introspection came
         across Ron's face as he replied, "I Don't know. I'll have to
         think about  it. I'll have to think about it for a long,
         long time." The women laughed at the dubious note in
         his voice and Kimberly said, "If you two Don't mind, I have
         to be getting home. Don't forget to get the film developed.
         I want to see the pictures." "Oh my God!", Ron exclaimed, "The
         pictures! She took pictures of us as babies!"  "As adults too!", Deedee grinned, "I
         think you need to be careful who you get to develop them.
         There might be some people who might think the pictures are
         some form of child pornography." "Hmm," Ron said, "You're right. I think I
         know someone who might develop them without looking at the
         negatives too closely. I'll tell him they're private
         pictures of my wife and stand next to him while he
         works." "Don't forget that the last picture is of
         you as an adult with your thumb in your mouth," Kimberly
         reminded him. "Oops!", Ron said, blushing slightly at
         the memory, "I guess I'll have to come up with something
         more creative. Unless you're willing to forget Kimberly ever
         took those picturesÖ" "Ron!", Deedee exclaimed, "Don't you
         dare! I want to see those pictures! You looked adorable as a
         baby and I want the photos for our album." Kimberly chuckled and said, "She's got
         you trapped, Ron. Give up and surrender gracefully. You know
         you can't win. I know my sister. If you try to destroy those
         pictures, she'll never forgive you. I have faith in you.
         You'll come up with a way to get them developed." Ron was chagrinned at the thought of
         having pictures of him sucking his thumb haunting him the
         rest of his life. One way or the other, he was going to
         lose. What if he destroyed them and Deedee decided to get
         another set by regressing him against his will? He looked at
         her expression and decided that she might do just that if he
         crossed her. It wasn't that he objected so much to her being
         his mother for a day, but the thought of what she would say
         when the spell wore off gave him the willies. She'd kid him
         about his infantile behavior for weeks. It was better to go
         along with her desires and find a way to get the pictures
         developed. He nodded and said, "It will take a week or two,
         but I think I know a way." Deedee got up from the floor and hugged
         her husband, saying, "Oh Ron! You're so good to me!" Ron took her in his arms as Kimberly
         waved goodbye and saw herself out the door. He planted a
         long loving kiss on her mouth and said, "Let's go to bed,
         Dee." "But I'm not sleepy!", she protested, "We
         had that long nap, remember?" "I wasn't thinking about sleeping, Dee,"
         he replied.  "Oh," she said with a surprised look on
         her face, "I thoughtÖ." "Come on, Dee. Let's go to bed" he said,
         breaking his embrace and taking her by the hand to lead her
         to the bedroom. He paused for a moment to pick up the lamp
         in his free hand as they passed by, then continued on with
         Deedee hugged close to his side. She looked up in her husband's eyes and
         said as they walked towards the master bedroom, "You sure
         looked like you were enjoying yourself when you were sucking
         your thumb. Do you think you might still have some of your
         fondness for sucking left? I think I have something more
         appropriate for your age to suck." "Oh Really?", he asked, "And what might
         that be?"
 Deedee looked demurely down at her
         breasts and Ron laughed as he put his arm around her
         shoulders and pulled her close to him, "I think I could
         manage that!"  Deedee grinned and said, "Mommy has some
         other things she'd like to show her baby boy too!" Ron chuckled and thought of how glad he
         was that they had taken a nap after lunch. It was going to
         be a long night. He opened the bedroom door for Deedee as
         she said, "You really were an adorable baby. I want to
         babysit you sometime. Wouldn't you like to see how it feels
         to suck mommy's titties?" "I think I'm just about to find out,
         Dee," Ron said with a smile as he shelved the lamp on the
         dresser without looking. Deedee smiled in return as she slid the
         robes off of her shoulders and oozed her way into his arms
         to kiss him. She was already planning their next vacation
         from adulthood. Ron wouldn't be hard to convince. She could
         visualize a vista of diapers and baby bottles waiting for
         them in their future. In the end, Ron had been right. It was a
         long, long night that preceded the next baby day. Even
         though the world outside their bedroom was cloaked in
         darkness, both Ron and Dee were caressed by a gentle
         radiance that warmed and comforted. Their night was lit by
         the soft glow of the lamp of love.   Fin
