The Visit

I had no strength to get up during the night. Finally, in the morning, Jenny walked in. Brandon was sleeping- she carried some things in the room and set them in the closet. She then picked me up, noticing my tear- she carried me back into the kitchen. I noticed that all of the toys and booster seats were gone. She reached into a drawer and got a sewing kit. She took me back into his room and got on her class meeting. During the class, she stitched me up.

Brandon was exhausted, so she didn't wake him up. Instead, she opened up his email and sent a message to his professor saying that he had a doctor appointment. She then get on euphrates.net and looked up some fabric glue specified for stuffed animals (body guards). She added that into a cart, already full of items.

The website suggested some repairs for me that she also added- which eventually led to a costume suggestion. She clicked on the link for the fireman costume, which included an axe and added it to the cart. This led to another suggestion, which she also added. It was a fairy princess costume with a magic wand.

She clicked order and then went to wake up Brandon. She told him that her parents were on their way and she wanted to change him and take the diaper pail out. He was still tired and didn't even talk- instead, just walked up the stool and climbed onto the changing table.

She talked him through the day, saying that he could just lay in here and she would entertain her parents. Brandon wouldn't even have to leave the room. She put his diaper on him and then a black outerspace onesie on him before sitting on the floor and putting a puzzle together.

A knock on the door interrupted that. Jenny gave him a kiss on the forehead and told him to have fun. She then went out to greet her parents.

Brandon was anxious, so he snatched me from the desk and squeezed me. He finished the puzzle and went back to his bed. We snuggled together. He was bored, so he tossed me in the air and caught me. Eventually, he decided to do some work on the computer.

Pretty soon he got a text and frantically jumped up. He ran towards Jenny's suitcase, which was in the corner by the bear. He was in such a hurry that he tossed his phone- which allowed me to read what he did.

Suitcase! Blue pajama pants and Black hoodie! Now!

followed by:

Parents want to deliver you lunch, come out quick!

I looked back over to Brandon, who was putting on Jenny's blue plaid pajama pants and her hoodie. I noticed that the hood had cat ears. He started to walk out the room but looked down at his feet. Jenny had painted his nails, so he rushed back looking for socks. He found a pair of yellow socks, with a heart on the top but covered up by the pajama pants.

I got up and went to the computer. I was defeated from the night before. I searched for help- I added a mobile to the cart. The comforting music and lights, should help calm him down. I put in new sheets, which would help fight the germs- allowing them to clean the others and alternate. I also added a stuffed animal unicorn. I needed help- I had to keep Brandon safe.

It was a while until Brandon reentered the room. He went straight for the bed and plopped down. After awhile, Jenny entered and plopped on the bed. She then leaned on him and started to laugh. Brandon just shook his head, then smiled.

She told him to get up on the changing table and he complied. They started laughing and recapping the close calls. Jenny lifted up Brandon's hood and smiled, telling him that it was good he didn't even realize that he had cat ears. He didn't look amused or upset, just stone faced.

Brandon told her that he was so glad that her mom didn't force a hug on him because she had already asked what that sound was and he assumed she was hearing the diaper. Other than that, they both agreed that her parents had no idea. Jenny took off the clothes Brandon was wearing and threw them in the hamper. She replaced his diaper and put him in leggings and a t-shirt and they went back downstairs. Jenny popped in the room a few times, to put the items in the closet back.

They came back in before bedtime, having Brandon wear a Barbie pajama set, while Jenny just wore a shirt. She told him that they were going to have to do laundry tomorrow, since she was almost out. Brandon suggested she could just diapers and borrow his clothes too.

Jenny laughed at this suggestion and tucked Brandon in. I was handed to Brandon and Jenny hopped into bed behind him. That night was more of the same- except the giants didn't come back. This was hopefully the last night until I had more help.
