Another morning and another wet Goodnite. Ashton was happy to see at least his bed and the light purple PJs with little stars and moons were dry. Ashton looked at himself in the mirror and found himself mesmerized by his reflection. The PJs were designed to be really snug and stretchy. They didn't hide the fact that he was wearing a swollen Pull-up , but they felt really soft and comfy, and to Asthon they just looked right.
Ashton tore himself away from the reflection and took off the PJs and tore off the pull-up. He tied it into a neat little ball as Jennie had showed him and put in the Diaper Genie. Ashton pulled out a new Goodnite from the dresser that had been assigned to him, then on a whim he went into the closet and pulled out a skirt and top from the bag of Sable's old clothes. The skirt was short light denim with a vertical rainbow stripe off center on the front and the top was a tight fitting very short sleeved shirt with a butterfly applique in the center. Ashton pulled his hair into a high ponytail and then did several cute poses in the mirror.. Then he saw Lisa standing up in her crib and watching him and his face turned beet red. "Umm, I'm just playing around," he said. Lisa's face scrunched up and then Ashton heard a little gas and the toddler giggled.
Ashton quickly got the girly clothes off and put on his new shorts and Pokemon shirt then laid back down on his bed and started playing Nintendo. A bit later Jennie came in for Lisa and Ashton joined everyone else for breakfast where plans were being made for the day. Elizabeth had a full time job at a software development company and worked every weekday, her job paid well and offered several perks. Jennie was a part time florist and usually worked a few days a week, so on days that she worked the kids would be placed in childcare for the day which was a perk provided by Elizabeth's job.. Sable was now old enough that she was sometimes allowed to stay home by herself but more often than not she spent the day with her friend. With Lori now staying with the family the kids could stay home with her which was the plan for the day. Elizabeth booted up her desktop computer so that Lori could search for jobs and work on her resume, but was stunned when she discovered that Lori had almost no idea how to write a resume.
"I can help her, we learn about stuff like that in school," Ashton said.
"Really they teach computers for your age?" Elizabeth asked.
"Yes I'm in the sixth grade," Ashton said.
"I keep forgetting that," Elizabeth said and then felt bad since it reinforced how underdeveloped Ashton was. Soon it was just Lori, Ashton, Ella, Trish and baby Lisa in the house. Sable went to her friend's house, the girls were playing in the nursery, and Ashton was helping his Mom write a resume using Elizabeth's as a template.
"Mom, Elizabeth and Jennie are gay right?" Ashton asked.
"Well, yes," Lori said, a bit uncomfortable with the conversation.
"But they were both married, that's where my cousins came from?" Ashton asked.
"Well not exactly, Elizabeth was never actually married, but she had Sable and Jennie used um, a donor for Lisa," Lori explained. Ashton wanted to ask more questions, he wanted to tell his Mom that he thought it was cool to wear girls clothes, and that he was really curious about diapers and baby stuff, but he knew that would be really weird and he needed to keep this all a secret.
Once Lori had the resume figured out Ashton went to check out what his sister and cousins were doing in the Nursery room, which doubled as a play room due to its larger size. Lisa was toddling around in just her diaper and a T-shirt, while Trish and Ella were playing with Barbie dolls and My little Ponys. "Asthon, who do you want to be, here you can have Sweetie Bell," Trish said and handed Asthon a white unicorn with pink and purple hair that really needed combing.
Ashton dropped the toy like it would burn him, "I'm not playing with those," he said.
"Why not," Ella asked. Ella and Trish were both 8 years old, but Ella was much taller and more mature, while Trish and Ashton both were similar size and height, they even had similar light blond hair.
"I'm not a girl, I don't play with dolls," Ashton said.
"Comeon, please, just comb out her hair for me, you have such pretty hair so I think you'll be really good at it," Trish begged. Ella and then even Lisa started encouraging Ashton to play and eventually he gave in and begrudgingly started combing the Pony's hair. Half an hour later Lori finished her resume and went to check on the kids. They didn't notice her standing in the doorway and she watched them engrossed in play for a moment. Ella seemed to have taken a lead role as a barbie doll that was organizing a pony show while Trish and Ashton were both engrossed in having their stable of ponies prance around in various competitions.
"Cheerilee and Sweetie Bell and now going to win the dance competition," Ashton said and began making the two ponies dance around bouncing into other ponies and farm playset they had laid out knocking things down. "We are the most graceful and beautiful dancers," he said while the other three girls giggled.
Lori smiled seeing the kids have so much fun, and then giggled when Lisa started dancing around and her soaked diaper was bouncing around. Ashton realized his Mom had been watching them play and dropped the ponies and looked embraced. "It looks like Lisa needs a new diaper," Lori said.
"I'll change her," Trish announced and began gathering up her Sister. "Ashton, get me a diaper please," she said, but Ashton ignored her leaving the room with his Nintendo DS. Lori grabbed a diaper from the changing table and then supervised as Trish and Ella changed Lisa. Trish had done this plenty of times before and explained the process to Ella, who wasn't overly excited to find out one of the duties as an older cousin would be changing Lisa.
Once the job was complete Lori found Ashton on the couch playing his DS, "Is something wrong honey?" she asked.
"No Mom, that was girly stuff and I didn't want to be around it," Ashton said.
"Well you seemed to be having a pretty good time to me," his Mom said.
"I wasn't, I was just playing because they wouldn't leave me alone," Ashton said.
"Ash, there is no rule that says boys can't play with ponies or help change diapers," Lori replied.
"Whatever Mom," Ashton said. Lori walked over to the couch and deftly reached a hand into the back her son's shorts and pulled back the Goodnite he was wearing, checking it. "Mom, what the heck?" Ashton said.
"Are you still dry?" she asked.
"Yes Mom, geeze," Ashton replied.
"Well let me know if you have another accident," she said and Ashton felt himself blush and nodded.
