Diaper Theft

Chapter 14

Alex staggered slightly under the weight of the bulging duffel bag as he made his way back home. The contents inside were precious to him—each item meticulously chosen to transform his room into a makeshift nursery. He finally reached the front door, his excitement barely contained.

Once inside, he wasted no time. Alex hurriedly carried the duffel bag upstairs to his room, but his excitement got the better of him. He couldn't wait to start setting everything up. He decided to begin with the guest room, which had been his sister's room before she moved out. It was the perfect place for his nursery project.

He first tackled the large, foldable baby play mat. With a few quick movements, he unfurled it and spread it out in the middle of the room. Its colorful, padded surface added a playful touch to the space. Next, he set up the bigger, softer changing mat beside it. The soft cushioning would make diaper changes more comfortable, and it added a touch of authenticity to his setup.

Alex then turned his attention to the crib. He had found an old crib in the attic and decided it was the perfect piece for his nursery. It wasn't in the best condition, but with some adjustments, it fit perfectly in the guest room. He added one of the soft pastel blankets he had found at the daycare, tucking it neatly into the crib.

He had taken great care to select a variety of clothes—dresses, overalls, onesies, and pajamas. These were neatly hung in the closet or folded and stacked in drawers. He wanted to have plenty of options for whenever he felt like dressing up. A couple of swimsuits and nighttime pull-ups were also tucked away for easy access.

The baby toys and bath toys were scattered across the play mat. Rattles, plush animals, teething rings, and stacking cups were placed strategically to create an inviting play area. He even arranged the baby food jars and bottles on a small shelf he had set up in the corner, making sure they were within easy reach.

With everything set up in the guest room, Alex felt a surge of satisfaction. The room looked just like a nursery, and it was ready for all the fun he planned to have over the weekend. But there was one more thing he wanted to do before he could fully enjoy his new setup.

He made his way back to his own room, where he had left a few more items from the daycare haul. He took out the pacifiers and a few other baby essentials he hadn't yet used. He placed the pacifiers on the changing table and tucked the remaining diapers into the closet with the rest of his new baby supplies.

After everything was in place, Alex took a step back and admired his work. The guest room had truly been transformed into a nursery. He couldn't wait to spend time in the space he had created.

Feeling a mix of excitement and accomplishment, Alex decided it was time for a break. He grabbed a bottle of milk from his stash and took it over to the crib, settling in comfortably on the play mat. As he sipped the milk, he reflected on how everything had come together.

He had spent the morning creating his dream setup, and now he could enjoy it. The crib, the play mat, the toys, and all the other items were just as he had imagined. He lay back on the play mat, surrounded by his new treasures, feeling content.

As the day wore on, Alex spent his time playing with the toys, trying on different outfits, and enjoying the comfort of his new space. It was everything he had hoped for and more. The weekend ahead promised to be filled with fun and adventure, and he was ready to embrace it fully.
