Baby Kenny

Chapter 10

Chapter 10

Willem pulled into his folks driveway in town. As they were exiting their vehicle, his folks came out of the house, carrying food items for the braai. Rob and Bella came out of the house next door. Willem took Kenny out of his booster seat and was about to put him in his stroller, when Bella took Kenny from Willem. “Its ok I will take this wonderful angel, I want to introduce him to his new friend.” Said Bella smiling broadly. With that she turned and walked back to her house. Willem looked at his wife with a curious expression on his face. Rob helped Willem and Martha carry the salads they had brought with. The deposited the food items in the kitchen and when they entered the lounge Bella was putting Kenny in a large play pen. The other occupant in the play pen was none other than Eric himself. He was dressed in a bright orange footed sleeper, with a large blue bib around his neck that had the words Daddy’s baby boy printed on it.

“Look baby Eric, mommy brought you a friend to play with. Now you two play nicely together, and Eric you better behave yourself. You know what will happen if you don’t.” Eric just glared at her. He turned around and crawled over to the other side of the play pen with his back to everyone.

Martha and Willem went to sit out on the patio totally in shock. Piet brought a glass of wine for Martha and a beer for his son. His folks sat down just as Steven and Milly arrived. They two sat down, Bella and Rob were the last to seat themselves.

Martha took a sip of her wine, then when she was ready she said “Ok spill the beans my friends.” Rob looked at the others then said “Well it all happened so quickly, we are still coming to grips with the whole situation.” He continued When we moved back we heard about Eric’s behavior, we were quite shocked by what we were hearing.” We were planning on speaking to him then things started to get very strange.”

Willem asked “What do you mean strange?” Rob and his wife looked at Steven and his wife. Steven cleared his throat and began, “Things started disappearing out of the nursery.” “What sort of things?” Martha asked.

“At first it was a bottle of baby moisturising lotion, then it was a bottle of baby powder,, then baby wipes. A couple of days later it was a pack of Pampers diapers.”

Piet then spoke up “ Eric came to me and asked if he could help with the building of the new furniture. He said it was his way of saying sorry for his behavior on the farm that day. I didn’t think anything of it at the time, but then things also start to disappearing from the new nursery that we had created for Kenny. A pack of thick diapers, some plastic pants, and a footed sleeper that Mable had just finished for Kenny.”

“Then last week we had a braai here to welcome Rob and his wife back.” said Mable “Eric began drinking early and by evening he was pretty drunk. He asked to go and lay down in the spare bedroom.” Mable continued.

“Three hours later we went looking for Eric, but he was not in any of the spare bedrooms.” said Steven. I then looked into the nursery and there he was fast asleep, wearing a thick diaper and dressed in a footed sleeper, with a bib around his neck and sucking on a large pacifier, cuddling with a teddy bear.” Willem and Martha burst out laughing in shock at this turn of events.

Willem then realised that the events the other day now made sense. “That’s why mom and dad were so secretive the other day.” He said looking at his folks. “Yes dear, I had made some new baby clothes for Eric and it was all on display for Bella’s approval.” replied Mable.

Eric sat in the play pen and he could feel his temper rising by the minute. He could hear his family telling Willem and Martha everything that had happened. Each time he heard them laugh his anger grew more darker. He looked at Kenny who was busy building a tower with the wooden blocks. He so wanted to go over and play with Kenny, but his pride and anger wouldn’t allow him. Suddenly the block tower fell over and once it hit the carpet, a few blocks rolled over to Eric. Eric picked up a block and threw it at Kenny.

At that same moment Martha looked towards the play pen and saw Eric throw the block at Kenny. It hit Kenny just above his right eye. Kenny howled out in pain then began crying loudly as blood began streaming down Kenny’s face. Everyone jumped up and ran inside. Willem scooped up a screaming Kenny. Bella gave him a kitchen towel which Willem used to apply pressure to the cut. Martha explained what she saw Eric had done. Rob disappeared into the kitchen, only to return almost immediately with a large wooden paddle in his hands. Before anyone could react he had opened up Eric’s footed sleeper and pulled down his diaper. He put Eric over his knees and began beating Eric’s bottom. Eric howled in pain, soon tears were streaming down his face. Five minutes later Rob stopped the beating, then handed Eric to his wife. “ You know what to do my love,”. Bella led her eldest son who was now bawling like a baby to his nursery. Ten minutes later they emerged. Bella was pulling Eric by his hand. Eric was now dressed in a light pink frilly dress with puffy sleeves that came down to his belly button. He had on a very large bulging diaper and a pair of ruffled panties. His hair had been tied up with a large pink bow that stood at an angle on the side of his head.

He raised his head and saw Martha looking at him. The next minute he screamed at her. “What the fuck are you looking at you fucking bitch. This is all your fault, yours and your fucking cunt of a husband” The room went deadly quiet. Even Kenny stopped crying. Rob grabbed his son’s arm and dragged him back to a chair. He again had him over his knee and once again removed Eric’s ruffled panties and diaper and began beating his sons rear end again, this time faster and harder. Eric shrieked out in pain and kicked his legs about, but a now furious Rob kept up the beating. When he finished he was out of breath. He stood up and left Eric kneeling on the floor. Rob walked out and walked toward the pool. Eric was laying on the floor curled up into a featal position and was sobbing so hard. Willem stood up, tears streaming down his face. He walked up to Eric, picked him up, without a word to anyone he carried Eric to his nursery.

Eric felt himself being picked up and flung his arms around Willems neck and buried his face in Willems shoulder and cried even harder.

Bella moved to stop him but Martha put her hand on Bella’s arm and shook her head. “Come dear we need to have a little chat. Just as they were sitting down Rob walked back in and saw Willem carrying Eric to the nursery. He sat down next to his wife.

Martha let everyone settle down then she began talking to them in a very soft and comforting voice.
