We All Grow Together

Chapter Four - Good Morning Boys (Part 2)

The three pups were waiting patiently outside the bathroom for the twins to finish whatever they were doing.

"Um Chase.'' Lincoln says.

"Yes Lincoln?" Chase said, looking over at the younger pup.

"I need to go. Like I weally need to go." Lincoln says desperately.

"Uh oh, can you try and hold it a little longer til Tuck and Ella are done?" Chase asked, getting concerned.

"I CAN'T!" Lincoln says on the verge of wetting him self and crying.

"Okay, okay, stay calm bud, let me think...hmm..." Chase thought for a moment, then remembered something. "Oh, right. Hey buddy, remember the potty chair that you used to use when we were potty training you? It's still in your and Rusty's room. Would you feel comfortable using it for this time?" Chase asked him.

By the time Chase had suggested that, Lincoln has already wet himself. In doing so Lincoln broke out in tears. When Chase saw what Lincoln was doing, he let out an exasperated sigh and slightly face-pawed.

"Uh ohs. Lincy pee pee." Rusty said softly, feeling bad for his big brother.

Lincoln continued to cry as he fell into a sitting position, sitting in his own pee.

Chase sighed before saying "...Well...you know what happens now Lincoln. Come on, let's get you cleaned up and in a pull up for today." He said, as went over and picked up the now wet pup.

"But it wasn't my fault." Lincoln said crying.

"You didn't know the bathroom was going to be occupied, yes that's true. However, you chose to hold it for this long instead of going immediately after waking up. If you had gone straight away, then you wouldn't have had to go this bad. I'm sorry bud, but there's no getting out of this." Chase said gently.

"But I not need to go when I wake up." Lincoln says, desperately trying to to have to this situation.

"You were dry last night, which means you were able to hold it all night, which certainly you would need to go after waking up. At the very least you should have sat on the potty for a bit to see if anything would come out." Chase said. "And look, just because you're going to be wearing a pull up doesn't mean you have to use it. It's just in case this happens again. You can still use the potty if you feel the need to go."

"But I a big boy." Lincoln says sadly.

"Yes you are. Big boys wear pull ups too sometimes." Chase said, giving him a kind smile.

"Fine." Lincoln said as he sulked and dragged himself through the pee puddle.

"Come on bud, we'll be quick about this." Chase said, holding his paw out for him to take.

Lincoln took Chase's paw, knowing that he had no other option, and followed in shame. Chase gently led the way back to the boys' room, with Rusty following silently. Once they were in, Chase gently picked Lincoln up and laid him on the changing table, then reached down under and got the wipes back out, along a bottle of puppy powder, and a pair of daytime pull ups. Unlike Chase's nighttime ones that were like bedwetting pants, these were like potty training pants.

"You ready bud?" Chase asked him.

"No." Lincoln said quietly.

"Aw buddy, it's okay, no one's gonna make fun of you for this, I promise." Chase said, giving him a gentle tummy rub.

Lincoln stayed silent, because he was too embarrassed to say anything.

"Alright, I'm gonna start now buddy. I'll be quick, I promise." Chase said, getting a wipe ready.Lincoln slowly nodded in silence. With that, Chase gently lifted Lincoln's legs up and started wiping his crotch and bottom clean of his pee. As Chase promised, he was quick about it. He then took the pull up and flooded it out some, then carefully slipped Lincoln's feet into the leg holes and slid it up the pup's legs and over his bottom and crotch. Finally, he lifted the pup off the table and set him down on his hind legs, pulled back the waistband of the pull up, and sprinkled some powder inside.
