THE KELLY'S COME TO AMERICA

Chapter 61

	"Morning Josh. Did you sleep OK last night?" Mrs. Rico asked ask 
Josh passed her in the hall.
	"Yes ma'am."
	"That's good to hear. Don't take to long in the shower. Breakfast 
will be ready in about twenty minutes."
	"I won't," Josh Answered as he walked into the bathroom.
	Less than fifteen minutes later Josh walked out into the with a 
towel wrapped around his waist and carrying his night diaper. He barely 
avoided getting run over by John as he ran by trying to get away from 
his father. Josh started laughing a bit when he realized that John was 
naked from the waist down and John's dad was holding one of the diapers 
they had picked up last night.
	"What's all the noise about?" Alex asked groggily, while rubbing 
the sleep out of his eyes.
	"Nothing. John's just trying to keep from getting diapered by 
your dad," Josh stated while he started getting the clothes he would 
need for the day out of his bag.
	"Do you know about how long we'll be gone? I need to decide who 
many diapers to pack?" Josh asked.
	"I normally pack four changes since I never know how often I'll 
need to go and the diapers I have been using only seem to be good for 
one wetting," Alex replied with a slight grin.
	"I don't think you'll have that problem with your new ones," Josh 
laughed as Alex climbed out of bed and started to remove his sodden 
night diapers. About this time both boys heard a muffled thud and felt 
the floor shake a little.
	"Looks like John finally got caught," Alex said matter-of-factly 
as he headed off to get his own shower. Josh just laughed at this and 
finished getting his diaper on and got dressed for the day.
	John was still struggling with his dad when Josh entered the 
living room.
	"Please dad don't do this. I told you I'd start behaving myself," 
John cried as his dad tried to get the diaper on him.
	"I know what you told me John. And like I said upstairs, I think 
you're only telling me what I want to hear. Now settle down, or things 
are going to get worse.
	"Would you like some help Mr. Rico?"
	"Yes, please. Since I think it would work better if I hold his 
hands down would you mind getting the diaper on him?"
	"Sure that wouldn't be a problem," Josh replied with a grin.
	"Did you plan on using any lotion or powder?"
	"Just use a good deal of powder on him. We'll save the lotion for 
the next change."
	Josh nodded at this and took the offered diaper. He no sooner 
knelt down to get the diaper under John when john took that time to try 
and kick him. Josh grabbed the foot and held it firmly.
	"Now John, none of that now. I am a guest here remember," Josh 
stated as he applied some pressure to the nerve on the inside of both 
of John's thighs and saw with satisfaction that both legs went limp.
	"What did you do! You little bastard! I can't move my legs!" John 
screamed.
	"Oh, calm down. I only stunned the nerve a little bit. You'll be 
able to move them in about 15 minutes," Josh said with some irritation. 
Without further comment, Josh retrieved the diaper he dropped and saw 
with some enjoyment that it was one of the Thickies Extra-Plus. The 
rest of the diapering went smoothly with John not being able to move 
his legs. As Josh finished putting the last tape in place, he moved to 
stimulate the nerve that he had tapped a few minutes before.
	"Just a minute, Josh. There's one other thing I need to do 
first," John's dad said as he pulled out a roll of packing tape and 
proceeded to apply several lengths of it over the tapes holding the 
diaper on.
	"This way John won't be able to try and remove the diaper without 
my wife or I knowing about it. Not that he will want to," Mr. Rico 
chuckled as he said the last part. This told Josh something else was 
up.
	"Aww, Little Johnny looks so cute," Alex said as he took his seat 
at the table for breakfast. A look from his parents kept John from 
replying to this comment.
	"What all is going to happen with the jumps today?" Josh asked to 
break the tension that was building a bit.
	"To start with, you'll be joining the beginners' class that I 
have this morning. Most of the people there will probably be in their 
late teens to early twenties. Though there will be some kids your age, 
there whose parents are already members of the club and want to see if 
their kids would want to give this a try. The only thing is that you'll 
be required to do a couple of tandem jumps with the rest of them. And 
before you say anything this is something your mother wanted because of 
what happened on your last jump," Josh just nodded at this, but Mr. 
Rico could still tell that Josh wasn't all that pleased about it.
	"What happened Kelly? You get to scared and forget how to land," 
John called out snidely.
	"That's enough John of that John. One more word and we'll ask 
Mrs. Crandell if Jessica would like a baby sitting job for the day," 
Mrs. Rico told her son. Judging from the look Josh saw on John's face 
this was a threat he didn't want to bluff.
	"We better get going or we'll be late," Mr. Rico said as he got 
up from the table. Josh helped out with clearing the table since they 
were pressed for time and John wasn't being allowed out of his chair. 
Once all the dishes had been loaded into the dishwasher, everyone 
headed for the door.
	"Well, what are you waiting for John? A written invitation?" His 
mom called from the front door.
	"What about my getting dressed?" John asked looking down at the 
onesie his dad had placed on him after using the tape on his diaper.
	"What about it? You have a shirt on and I've got your shoes right 
here so lets get going. Besides we already have something waiting for 
you in the car."
	"But--" John started.
	"You heard your mom, lets get going," Mr. Rico said as he picked 
John up and tossed him over his shoulder. John started trying to 
struggle to get loose but a few hard slaps to his thighs made him stop.
	"Where are the pants you said were out here?" John asked after 
they pulled out of the drive way.
	"I almost forgot. Here you go," Mrs. Kelly said with a smile as 
she handed over a pair of light blue, nursery print plastic pants.
	"You've got to be kidding me. I'm not going to wear those," John 
said loudly, while throwing the pants back towards his mom.
	"That's fine. You can just go around in your diaper and onesie 
for the rest of the day," John was told plainly by his father. After a 
bit of huffing, John asked for the pants back and put them on. Josh and 
Alex both managed to keep from laughing, but failed at hiding the 
smiles they both had gotten from the sight next to them. All three boys 
drifted off to sleep a few minutes later.
	"Josh, we're here," Mrs. Rico said with a slight shake of his 
shoulder.
	"Huh?" Josh said with a start as he jerked awake.
	"I said we're here. Just follow Alex and he'll show you where to 
go," Josh nodded at this and climbed out of the car.
	"Hand me your bag and I'll put it with the others. John, you need 
to get out of the car too," The look John got prevented him from 
arguing about this.
	"You're going the wrong way, John. Your dad wants your help with 
the new class," Mrs. Rico stated while turning her son around and sent 
him off in the right direction with a slap on his diapered rump.
	"You better watch your back out there Kelly. You never know what 
might happen on a jump," John told him as they walked off towards one 
of the smaller buildings nearby.
	"If you're trying to scare me John it's not going to work. And 
I'd watch making comments like that in the future. You never know who 
might be listening."
	"You've got that right, Josh. You never know who might be 
listening," John jumped at the voice behind him and saw their Gym 
teacher standing behind him.
	"By the way, John, nice shirt," Mr. Grissom stated with a laugh 
as he walked past. Out of curiosity, Josh looked at the back of the 
shirt and started laughing himself as he trotted to catch up with Alex. 
The back of the shirt said in bold letters "Proud to be a Diaper Boy!" 
with a picture of John wearing nothing but a diaper and holding a teddy 
bear.
	Several of John's teammates were present when John entered the 
building. Most of them started laughing when they saw how John was 
dressed. They laughed even harder when they saw the back of John's 
shirt.
	"Hey Rico! Nice pants!" One boy called out.
	"I think little Johnny needs his mommy," Another one called when 
he saw that John was going to start crying. These comments got all of 
the kids and several of the parents laughing. John was near tears at 
all the comments being made and even more because his father was doing 
nothing to stop the comments.
	"Alright, people. Lets settle down, and get the class started," 
Mr. Kelly said in a calm voice. Over the next Two hours he reviewed 
what the class had learned over the previous weeks and gave them a test 
to see if they had learned enough for the next phase. Josh was also 
given the test so Mr. Rico could see exactly where Josh stood in his 
training. Thirty minutes later Josh was with Mr. Grissom getting ready 
to jump out of the plane.
	"You feeling OK there, Josh?" He asked, misreading the look on 
Josh's face.
	"Yeah. I'd feel better though if I was in control of the jump," 
Josh replied as he stepped out the door. Over the next several hours 
Josh made five more jumps. With the last one being a solo At the end of 
his last one, Mr. Rico told him that he felt he was ready to move over 
to join the rest of the teen group.
	"Head back on over to the Jump Shack. Fran should be there in a 
minute," Josh was told after turning in his used chute.
	"OK. I might be a few minutes myself," John Sr. smiled at this 
knowing what Josh was talking about.
	"I thought you'd be with the rest of the group," Josh said when 
he saw Alex in the School's office.
	"Dad wants to wait till I grow a bit more before he lets me join 
the regular classes. I normally jump with my mom, but since I'm getting 
over an ear infection they grounded me as well till the doctor says 
it's OK for me to jump again. In the mean time, they have me answer the 
phones and such while they're holding classes," Alex replied a bit 
glumly.
	"Hey don't let it get you down. Unlike your brother, you'll be 
jumping again soon. And your being grounded is for medical reasons not 
for punishment," Josh told the younger boy as he grabbed his bag. Josh 
saw that his comment had cheered Alex up some and he was glad since 
this is what he was trying for. After a quick diaper change, Josh 
walked over Jump Shack to join the teen group there.
	"What an idiot. I can't believe anyone would be stupid enough not 
to see the wind sock go up like that," One boy said about the video 
they were watching.
	"Tell me about it. What about when he did that cut away and went 
after the guy with the streamer," the guy next to him said scornfully.
	"Ain't that the truth. I mean they make a big deal about what he 
did, but it ain't all that much. Anyone one of us could have done that 
easy," A third boy announced cockily.
	"Are you sure about that?" Josh asked coolly when he saw the end 
of the video and realized that it was him they were talking about.
	"Yeah, I am Novice. I bet if you tried something like that you'd 
end up missing and killing the guy. Or you'd end up pissing your 
pants," The loud mouth laughed.
	"Actually, I have done something like that. And not only did the 
other guy live, I didn't piss my pants. As for not seeing the wind sock 
going up, you'll notice that I wasn't more than five feet off the 
ground went that gust hit," Josh replied. Thinking that while he didn't 
piss his pants he sure as anything soaked the diaper he had on.
	"You expect us to believe that you were the jumper when we al saw 
you with the Novice class earlier," Loud mouth scoffed.
	"Yeah, I do. Rewind the tape and take a good look at the jumpers 
face when they pull the mask off," Everyone turned a bit red when they 
realized that Josh really was the jumper they had just watched. Before 
things could go any further Mrs. Rico entered the room.
	"OK boys, I take it you've already met Josh. He'll be joining us 
for this afternoons jumps. I'll be assuming that you've all been 
practicing the moves over the past week. Today we'll see how well 
you've put them together. Jason, you'll be taking over for John. Are 
there any questions?" Mrs. Rico said to one of the older boys in the 
back of the group.
	"Why isn't John joining us?" One of the boys asked.
	"John's had his jump status revoked for fighting at school," Mrs. 
Kelly stated bluntly.
	"That explains the get up we saw him wearing earlier," Loudmouth 
chuckled as they walked out of the building to the hanger to get their 
chutes.
	"Figures Rico would let his temper get in the way of us finally 
making it to the regionals," This comment caused several people to 
mumble their agreements.
	Josh became suspicious when he saw John behind the counter 
handing out the chutes.
	"Here you go, Kelly," John said snidely as he handed over the 
chute. Josh surprised everyone when he stopped and started a complete 
inspection of the chute he was handed.
	"Hey, diaper boy. We trust each other here," John called in fury.
	"Trust has to be earned, and quite frankly I don't trust you any 
further than I could throw Jason over there," Josh said pointing to the 
largest kid in the group.
	"Don't you mean any further than you could throw me, dummy," John 
called back.
	"No, I mean Jason. We already know how far I can throw you. 
Besides, I wouldn't care if God himself packed this chute, I'd still be 
inspecting it because that's how I was trained," Josh said as he 
finished his inspection and walked off.
	"What the hell was that all about?" Jason asked as they walked 
towards the flight line.
	"You know how his mom said he was grounded due to a fight at 
school? I was the other person in the fight. Jason just nodded at this 
and said nothing more. Josh noticed that except for Jason everyone else 
in the group was walking behind him. After a quick glance over his 
shoulder and seeing a couple of other people pointing at him, he 
stopped and turned around.
	"Yes, I am wearing a diaper. If any of you have a problem with 
that fact get over it," Josh stated coolly and finished walking to the 
plane. The rest of the group caught up a minute later and nothing more 
was said about Josh wearing diapers. They took off a few minutes later.
	By the end of the day Josh saw that all the others in the group 
were going over their chutes and several of them asked him if things 
looked alright. This seemed to anger John to no end, especially when 
Josh handed several chutes back because something felt, or looked wrong 
about them.
	"Hey Josh, where did you learn to jump anyway?" Loud mouth asked.
	"The 22nd Regiment of His Majesties SAS, Mark. My uncle is a 
Colonel with them," Josh told him. This earned him a low whistle.
	"I was wondering if you'd like to take over Jason's spot as an 
alternate on the team? I doubt that even if John got his jump status 
back today the team would like him back after we saw him acting today."
	"I'll have to think about it and see what my parents say," Josh 
replied as Mark headed to a waiting car.
	"I have to say I was impressed with your performance today Josh. 
I was going to ask you myself if you'd like to join up as an 
alternate," Mrs. Rico said once Mark had left.
	"I'd like to, but as I told Mark it depends on what my parents 
say," Josh replied. Mrs. Rico nodded at this with a smile on her face.
	"We'll we have one last jump to make. John Sr. and I normally 
make one last jump together. I figured you, Alex and John would like to 
join us."
	"I wouldn't mind at all."
	"Good. By the way, I liked how you handled the thing with John 
about your chute earlier. You're certainly right about trust having to 
be earned and John hasn't done anything to earn your trust. I also want 
to thank you for getting the rest of the group to start checking their 
own packs and how to do it correctly. I've been trying to beat that 
into them for months."
	"It's no problem. I've seen people come close to doing burn-in's 
because they didn't check their chutes properly," Josh stated as they 
walked over to the hanger.
	"On a personal note, how's that diaper of yours holding up?"
	"I changed after that last jump. So I'm good to go," Josh 
replied, wondering how such nice people like the Rico's could end up 
having such an asshole for a son.
	Josh and Mrs. Rico entered the hanger just as John Sr. and Jr. 
came out of a back room. Judging how John Jr. was sobbing, Josh figured 
that a diaper change had just been performed and John was less than 
cooperative about it as usual.
	"Josh could I see you for a minute," Mr. Rico asked while leading 
him away from the rest of the family.
	"Josh, Mr. Grissom told me he heard John made a comment about you 
needing to watch your back on today's jumps, and I heard you two had a 
bit of a word exchange earlier about some of the chutes he tried to 
give you."
	"Yes, sir. We did on both things. John seemed to get a bit upset 
when I told him that the chutes he handed me didn't look, or feel right 
for some reason."
	"I just want you to know that I checked those chutes and that 
there was something wrong with them. I've already had a long talk with 
John about this and have told him that I'm placing his name on a black 
ball list. He won't be able to join another jump club ever. I want you 
to know that I'm sorry he tried to pull this stunt on you and all the 
comments he's made about your last jump in front of others."
	"It's OK. I'm glad that you had my best interest at heart when 
you checked those chutes. I also know that you would have done that for 
any of your students. I do have one request for this last jump," Josh 
said and quickly outlined what he wanted to do. Mr. Rico thought about 
it for a minute and then asked his wife over to see what she thought of 
it. The smiles Josh got in return was all the answer he needed.
	"Hey John suit up. Your dad is letting you come on this last 
jump," Josh called a short time later as he headed off towards the 
plane. He was happy to see that all John had on at this point was a 
diaper and that it was clean. John joined them at the plane about five 
minutes later.
	"Where's my chute?" He asked his mom as he climbed into the 
plane.
	"You're going tandem," Mr. Rico yelled as the plane's engines 
started with a throaty roar.
	"Who Am I Going to Hooked To?" John yelled, but got no response. 
Seeing that Josh and his mom had the only two tandem rigs on his 
figured that he would be going with his mom and Alex with Josh.
	"Two minutes!" Mr. Rico yelled. Mrs. Rico, Alex, and he all stood 
up a moment later and Mr. Rico hooked Alex onto his wife's rig.
	"You stay here," Mrs. Rico told John as he stood up to join them.
	"But..," John started to say as his parents jumped.
	"You're with me for this jump John," Josh said with a smile. John 
got a very worried look on his face when he saw Josh pull some 
breathing rigs out of a bag he was carrying. He was even more worried 
when he saw the pilot look back and heard Josh yell with a laugh "Top 
Floor James". Ten minutes later John saw Josh nod to the pilot and then 
come over to him.
	"OK John, You've liked to brag about how you're hot shit with a 
chute. Here's your chance to prove it!" Josh told him as he handed him 
over the oxygen rig.
	"Just breathe normally and slowly and everything will be OK," 
Josh yelled over the wind and airplane noise.
	"Time to stand in the door!" Josh yelled as he stood up and 
turned John around to hook him up.
	"I don't want to do this!" John yelled as he saw how far up they 
were.
	"But I do!" Josh yelled back as he stepped out of the plane.
	The Rico's all stood in a group as they saw Josh and John exit 
the plane. Mrs. Rico was shocked at some of the thing's her some was 
yelling on his way down. Josh just laughed through it all. What really 
got John yelling is when he saw how close to the ground they were 
before Josh pulled the rip-cord. John was a jumble of nerves once he 
was unhooked from the harness. Alex burst out laughing when John took 
off the jump suit he had on to reveal an overflowing diaper. In just 
twenty minutes time, John had managed to max out, from both sides, a 
diaper that was normally good for Ten to Twelve hours. As Mrs. Rico 
pulled John off to the side to get him into a clean diaper, Mr. Rico 
Pulled Josh to the side.
	"Josh, I have to admit I've never seen anything like that. When 
my wife told me that we should consider you to take the alternates 
place on the Jr. Jump Team I was hesitant about it. After seeing that 
jump, I'm sorry we didn't have you with us earlier. Maybe this little 
experience will help knock some of the crap out of John's attitude," 
John's dad said not really seeing the slight pun he just made. Josh did 
and commented on it.
	"Well, I'm not sure if it knocked any crap out of his attitude, 
but it certainly scared some of the shit out of him," Josh said with a 
perfectly straight face. A moment later Mr. Rico was laughing his head 
off. What neither of them knew at the time was that Alex decided to 
train the camcorder on them and caught the whole exchange on tape.
	John was quietly subdued when his mom brought him back from 
getting his diaper changed. While Josh kept quiet the entire ride home 
Alex would start laughing softly every time he looked at his brother. 
John went right to bed when he got home without worrying about having 
dinner. Mrs. Rico did manage to get him to take a bottle later on when 
she thought that Josh and Alex weren't looking.
	"Mom's always done that for us when we were to sick to eat 
anything," Alex explained when they saw his mom go by with the bottle.
	"My mom does the same thing."
	"Even though John is a bit of a pain at times, you don't think 
this messed him up do you?" Alex asked seriously.
	"I think he'll be a bit shaky for the next couple of days but he 
should be OK. I think this might have been the type of shock he needed 
to cut some of the cockiness out of him," Josh said with some concern 
himself. Josh and Alex spent the rest of the night in Alex's room 
converting the recording of Josh and John's jump over to a DVD format. 
After plying games for a couple of hours, Alex's mom told them it was 
time for bed. As the night before, Alex was placed into some thick 
cloth diapers and Josh went for one of his Thickies Extra-Plus.

Chapter 62

	"Hey mom, where's Josh? I thought that after what happened 
yesterday in school he would be here," John asked when his mom came in 
to check on him the next morning.
	"Mr. Rico asked Josh to spend the weekend with them and do some 
parachuting," Mrs. Kelly stated while pulling her son's wet and 
slightly messy diaper out from under him.
	"I thought you didn't like Josh jumping," John said in surprise.
	"I don't. I feel though that since your uncle took the time to 
train him and Josh seems to like it then I would at least go along with 
it."
	"I can understand that. I just hope John doesn't try anything."
	"I'm more worried about your brother trying something. But enough 
about that, how are you feeling?" Mrs. Kelly asked as she felt John's 
forehead.
	"I still feel a bit queasy. Aside from that, not bad," John 
answered.
	"Well, you don't seem to have a fever anymore, but let me get the 
thermometer just to make sure," John was told as his mom finished 
closing the Velcro on his diapers and handed John a pair of plastic 
pants to put over them. While his mom was getting the things to take 
his temp with John stepped into the pants he was given and put a clean 
T-shirt on. Once this was done, he picked up the book he had been 
reading and climbed back into bed. John had the feeling that even if 
his temperature was normal his mom would have him stay in bed the rest 
of the day just to play it safe.
	Fifteen minutes later, Mrs. Kelly walked back into John's room 
carrying a tray with some light food, Tylenol, a large glass of water, 
and a baby bottle filled with Pedialyte.
	"Your head for a minute," John was told as his mom pulled out the 
thermometer.
	"Well, you still have a slight fever so I want you to stay in bed 
as much as possible and no video games. I don't want you to get to 
worked up. Your father and I are going out for bit to get some things 
for Josh's room so if you need anything let Erin know. I'll check in on 
you a little later. Be sure to get some rest while we're gone. And 
again, no video games."
	"OK mom. I hear you," John replied with a smile as he started to 
eat the light breakfast his mom had brought to him after downing the 
Tylenol with the glass of water. After giving John a light kiss on the 
forehead, Mrs. Kelly left the room to join her husband and daughter 
downstairs.
	"How's John doing?" Mr. Kelly asked once his wife had joined 
them.
	"He still has a slight fever, so I'm having him stay in bed for 
the day. Erin, would you mind checking in on him from time to time?" 
Erin was asked by her mother.
	"Aaron will be coming by in a bit so we can study for the 
Chemistry exam we have on Monday, but I can check in on John 
occasionally."
	"OK. Just make sure both of them get changed when they need to 
be. I doubt either of them want to end up with a rash," Mrs. Kelly said 
with a grin as her daughter turned a beet red.
	"Don't worry, Erin, we trust you." Her dad added while getting up 
from his chair.
	"We need to get going, Janet, if we want to try and get 
everything before it starts raining again." With a nod of her own, Mrs. 
Kelly got to her feet and joined her husband in the kitchen. They 
walked out the front door a few minutes later.
	"Man, I'm glad that Aaron wasn't here for that last bit," Erin 
thought to herself as she took her dishes into the kitchen and placed 
them in the dishwasher. Once this was done she saw that she had enough 
time before Aaron arrived to check on John and get a shower. John was 
fast asleep when Erin walked into his room. With a slight grin on her 
face as she took in the sight before her, Erin walked over to John's 
sleeping form and carefully stuck a couple of fingers down the front of 
his diapers to she how wet he was.
	"Just a little damp. He should be OK for a few hours," His sister 
thought to herself as she removed her fingers and covered John up after 
placing his teddy bear next to him.
	Erin managed to finish her shower and get dressed for the day 
just as Aaron rode into the driveway.
	"You really must be glad to see me," Aaron joked as the front 
door opened before he had a chance to ring the bell.
	"Well, I am. But John is also not feeling well and I didn't want 
to have the door bell to wake him up." Erin explained as she let her 
boyfriend into the house while giving him a quick kiss on the cheek. 
Aaron smiled at this as he walked into the Dining room to set his 
things down. Erin smiled as well at the changes that had taken place 
since she and Aaron had started dating. He no longer seemed as 
withdrawn as he was when she first met him and he no longer seemed as 
self-conscious about needing to wear diapers as he had been. Of course, 
Erin figured Josh was more responsible for this change than anyone else 
she could think of. She still could remember the look on Aaron's face 
when Josh had shown up at work a few weeks before wearing just a medium 
sized shirt and a pair of sandals. Erin almost laughed out loud when 
she thought back to the conversation that had taken place.
	"Want to let me in on the joke?" Aaron asked as Erin walked into 
the room with drinks and chips for them to snack on while studying.
	"I was just thinking back to conversation you had with Josh when 
he came into work that one time a couple weeks back without any pants 
on."
	"Yeah, that was pretty funny now that I look back on it. I can't 
even thinking of doing something like that myself at his age. It's even 
funnier that the next day, Eric had some "No Shirt, No Shoes, NO Pants, 
No Service" signs made up." Aaron said with a laugh. I still can't 
believe how uptight I was about things like that." he continued as he 
got out his books.
	"I'll be back in a minute. I need to check and see if John needs 
to be changed. Speaking of which, how are you doing?" Erin asked her 
boyfriend bluntly. Aaron just turned red at this.
	"That's what I thought. Head on up to Josh's room and I'll be 
there in a few minutes." Erin told him in a tone that was letting him 
know that she wasn't going to be taking any arguments on this. As Aaron 
stood up, Erin saw a wet spot start to form on the crotch of Aaron's 
shorts.
	"Actually I think I better take care of you first so you don't 
leak all over the place." Erin chuckled as she led her boyfriend up to 
her younger brother's room.
	"OK, take off those wet shorts and hop up here." Aaron was told 
as his girlfriend patted her brother's changing table. Aaron did as he 
was told and soon found his over flowing Attends being removed.
	"Where's your pack?" Erin asked as she finished cleaning her 
boyfriend up.
	"Downstairs. But don't bother going to get it. I didn't think 
with the doublers I had added I would need to be changed till I got 
home so I didn't bring another one." Aaron replied sheepishly.
	"You still wear smalls right?"
	"Yeah."
	"OK, then lift up." Erin told him with a smile as she grabbed one 
of Josh's Dipees from under the table.
	"Josh recently moved into the smalls himself so one of his should 
fit you just fine." Erin announced with a grin at her boyfriends 
growing embarrassment.
	"Now don't worry. It'll be OK. I'm sure Josh won't mind and this 
will be better than having you sit around with nothing on. Besides, I 
think you'll find that these work better than your Attends." Erin told 
him as she started rubbing lotion into his diaper area. Aaron just 
moaned slightly in reply with a large smile on his face. After a quick 
dusting of powder Aaron felt the new diaper being pulled up between his 
legs and then snugly taped closed.
	"You're right. These do feel better than my other diapers." Aaron 
said was he was off the table and checking the fit.
	"They look better too."
	"OK then. Go on downstairs and wait for me. I'll be down once I 
check on John. Feel free to turn the TV on if you want."
	"What about my shorts?" he asked while reaching for the garments.
	"I'm not about to let you go sit on the couch in wet shorts. 
You're fine like you are. Now go so I can check on my brother."
	"But..?"
	"I said go," Erin stated while giving Aaron's diapered butt a 
slap. With no further comment, Aaron headed off while trying to pull 
his shirt down far enough to cover his diaper. Erin just smiled at this 
losing battle.
	Erin walked into John's room to find him watching a bit of TV 
himself.
	"How's the diaper doing there, kiddo?" Erin asked as she walked 
over to John's bed. John just raised an eyebrow in response.
	"That's what I thought. Let me get the pad out and then you can 
hop on to it." John was told as his sister went over to get the pad out 
of the closet and spread it out on John's spare bed.
	"OK, hop on over while I get some clean diapers put together for 
you." Unlike during Aaron's diaper change Erin was all business and 
John found himself in fresh diapers in under five minutes.
	"Back into bed with you. I'll be back in a moment with some more 
Tylenol and a light lunch for you." John just nodded at this as he 
climbed back into bed.
	"He looks so cute like that. I wish I had a camera with me," Erin 
laughed to herself as she came downstairs and found that Aaron had 
dozed off a bit holding Josh's teddy bear. Deciding to let him nap a 
bit Erin headed in to the kitchen to warm up some soup for her brother. 
Aaron was still sleeping when Erin came back through 15 minutes later.
	"Here we go John." his sister announced as she came in carrying 
his lunch. After setting the try in front him, Erin took the 
thermometer to check John's temp. and handed him a couple of Tylenol
	"Thanks Erin." John told his sister as he reached for the glass 
of juice on the tray to wash the pills down.
	"You're welcome. You'll be happy to know that your temp is almost 
normal." John just smiled.
	"Just leave the tray on the other bed when you're done and 
someone will get it later." John just nodded as his sister left the 
room.
	"Erin we're home!" Mrs. Kelly called out about thirty minutes 
later when she and her husband came through the front door.
	"We brought some lunch home." She added as she came into the 
family room and almost burst out laughing when she saw her daughter 
sitting on the couch with her boyfriend curled up sleeping with his 
head on her lap wearing nothing but a shirt and a diaper.
	"He worked a double yesterday and it caught up with him," Erin 
said in way of explanation.
	"I can understand that, but where are his pants?"
	"His diaper leaked big time and I wasn't about to let him sit on 
anything wearing a pair of wet shorts." This answer caused her mom to 
nod.
	"How's John doing?"
	"His temp. was almost normal when I checked it thirty minutes ago 
when I changed him and took him his lunch."
	"That's good. After we're done eating you and Aaron can help us 
bring in some of the things we picked up."
	About this time Aaron woke up to find Erin's mom standing over 
him and his head was in Erin's lap.
	"This isn't what it looks like," Aaron nervously stammered out 
while rushing to sit up and pull his shirt down to cover his diaper. In 
his excited state his bladder let loose and he started flooding his 
already wet diaper.
	"Calm down. Erin already explained what was going on," Mrs. Kelly 
said soothingly. This got Aaron calmed down a bit but the damage to his 
diaper was already done.
	"Erin why don't you go get Aaron changed while your mother and I 
get lunch set up." Mr. Kelly said as he walked past and saw the 
condition of his daughter's boyfriend's diaper.
	"OK dad. Come on Aaron let's get you into something dry." Aaron 
just meekly took the offered hand and followed his girlfriend into her 
brother's room.
	"I'll get my things together once were done here and head on 
home." Aaron mumbled as he was helped up on to the changing table.
	"You'll do nothing of the sort. You're having lunch with us first 
and then my mom wants our help to bring in some things from the car."
	"But what about downstairs? You're mom must be furious."
	"Aaron will you just relax about that. Did mum sound furious to 
you?"
	"No, but." Aaron started to say before being cut off.
	"But nothing. I told her what had happened and she believes me. 
She knows that nothing happened. And she trusts me and you as well.
	"She trusts me?" Erin was asked in shock.
	"Yes, she trusts you. How many parents do you think would not be 
bothered by their teenaged daughters changing their boyfriends diapers 
if they didn't trust both of them?"
	"It's just.." Aaron started to say before breaking down.
	"It's OK. Just let it out." Erin said as she pulled her boyfriend 
into a loving embrace. Aaron stiffened a bit when he saw Mrs. Kelly 
walk into the room.
	"I just wanted to see if anything was the matter and let you know 
lunch is ready."
	"We'll be down in a minute mum. Aaron just needed to get 
something out of his system."
	"OK, just don't take to long. I don't want you meals to get 
cold." Mrs. Kelly said as she turned and left the room.
	"See? She cares about you." Erin said as she quickly finished 
placing her boyfriend in to a clean diaper.
	During lunch nothing was said about what had been seen when the 
elder Kelly's came home. Aaron even stayed later to help Mr. Kelly 
rearrange Josh's room and put together the display case he helped bring 
in earlier. While all this was going on the rain started pouring down 
again.
	"Hello?" Mr. Kelly asked on answering the phone.
	"Mr. Kelly this is Kevin, Aaron's brother. I was wondering if 
he's left yet?"
	"Not yet. With the rain I was going to give him a lift home in a 
few minutes."
	"I hate to ask this of you but is there anyway he might be able 
to spend the night? We've lost power over here and I have to deal with 
a partly flooded basement.
	"I don't have any problem with helping out after the help you've 
given us a few times already. Do you want me to come over and see if 
there is anything I can do to help? And does Steven need a place to 
stay also?"
	"Thanks, but no. I have everything handled on this end and Steven 
already had plans to stay over with one of his friends tonight. Since 
it's in the area I could have him swing by really quick and drop some 
clean clothes and diapers off for him if you want."
	"The clothes would be welcome, but I think we have the diaper 
angle covered." Mr. Kelly stated with a laugh.
	"Yeah, I should have figured you would. Thanks again for your 
putting up with him tonight."
	"It's our pleasure," Mr. Kelly replied as the connection was 
broken.
	"I'm all set to go," Aaron said as Mr. Kelly walked into the 
living room.
	"There's been a change of plans. That was Kevin on the phone. He 
said your house lost power and the storm partly flooded your basement 
so he called to see if you could stay here tonight. I told him that it 
wouldn't be a problem." Aaron just nodded at this but seemed a bit 
distracted by the news.
	Several minutes later Steven rang the door bell and hand Josh his 
overnight bag. He also had a quick chat with Mr. and Mrs. Kelly. Aaron 
had a good idea as to what it was about but didn't say anything over 
it. Once his brother left, Aaron decided to start studying some more 
before dinner like he normally did at home.
	"Aaron, dinner will be ready in a few minutes." Mrs. Kelly called 
out breaking Aaron from his concentration.
	"I'm sorry?"
	"I said dinner will be ready in a few minutes. But first lets get 
you into some dry diapers." she told him.
	"OK. it'll take me just a minute to change."
	"Actually, I planned on doing it myself. It'll give us a chance 
to talk about this afternoon."
	On hearing this Aaron got the look of a deer caught in the lights 
of an on coming car. seeing the look he had, Mrs. Kelly rushed to 
assure him that nothing was wrong.
	"No. It's not like that. Erin said that you became upset while 
she was changing you and I just wanted to let you know that I trust the 
both of you. Kevin has told me how you and your brothers had been 
treated by your mother. I just want you to know that if you ever need 
to talk or just to cry things out I'm here to help you out. You've 
brought a light back into Erin's life that I thought was lost after her 
last boyfriend passed away. I'm sure she'll tell you about it when she 
feels the time is right. I just ask that you don't push her about it 
till she's ready." Aaron just nodded at this, not mentioning that Erin 
had already told him about it.
	"Now, let's get you changed."
	Aaron was more than a little surprised and scared when he saw 
Mrs. Kelly pull out several thick cloth diapers. He almost bolted when 
she came towards him with them. Only her soft voice and loving touch 
prevented this from happening. Seeing how scared he looked, Mrs. Kelly 
started singing a lullaby that had been in her family for centuries. 
What happened next, shocked both Mrs. Kelly and Aaron himself. He 
started to cry uncontrollably calling out for his dead mother. The 
final wall of torment that he had been trying to breakthrough for years 
had finally shattered and all his pent up anger and fear was finally 
being released. Erin and Mr. Kelly came running into the room when they 
heard the commotion but was waved away by Mrs. Kelly before they could 
say anything. Almost an hour later Mrs. Kelly came downstairs alone. 
And after fixing a bottle took it up to Aaron and returned back to the 
dining room where he husband and daughter were waiting to hear what was 
going on. Mrs. Kelly explained what had happened upstairs over the next 
thirty minutes. Due to the late hour they decided to hold off calling 
Kevin till the morning. For his part, Aaron slept soundly for the first 
time in almost ten years.

Chapter 63

	"Josh, it's time to get up." Mrs. Rico called while shaking his 
shoulder a bit. "Huh?" josh responded sleepily. "I said, it's time to 
get up. Your mom called yesterday and requested that you be home in 
time for brunch."
	"Ok. Do I have time for a shower?"
	"I think that would be a good idea." Mrs. Rico responded with a 
chuckle as she turned around to wake up her son. While this was going 
on, Josh climbed out of bed and started to remove the soaked diaper 
that he had on. "I'll set your things out while you get a quick shower. 
Feel free to use any of the supplies you need to." Mrs. Rico told Josh 
as she started to change Alex out of his night diapers.
	As this was going on Josh's mom was giving Kevin a call.
	"Hello?" came the groggy reply once the phone stopped ringing. 
"Kevin this is Janet Kelly."
	"There isn't anything wrong is there?" Kevin asked suddenly wide 
awake. "No, not really." Mrs. Kelly responded as she told Kevin what 
had gone on with his brother the night before. "OK. Let me get dressed 
and I'll be right over."
	"OK, I just wanted to let you know that the three of you are 
invited to brunch with us. I will ask if you could bring Aaron some 
different clothes. The place we're going to is a bit on dress up side. 
Some nice pants and a pull over will be just fine." Mrs. Kelly told him 
before he could ask what kind of clothes. "All right, I'll give Steven 
a call now and have him meet us at your place in about twenty minutes."
	"That would be fine. I'll see you then." Came the answer before 
Mrs. Kelly hung the phone up and went to wake up the boys.
	"Aaron, it's time to get up." Mrs. Kelly announced as she walked 
into Josh's room. "Just Five more minutes Kevin, please." Came the 
disembodied voice. Mrs. Kelly chuckled a bit at this as she walked up 
to the bed and whipped the covers off it. "Damn it Kev, couldn't you 
have given me just five more minutes?" Aaron grumbled loudly as he 
turned over. "No Aaron, I couldn't. And I'm sorry, but I don't have the 
right equipment to be your brother either." Mrs. Kelly said with a 
laugh. She really started laughing at the expression on Aaron's face 
when he saw who he was talking to. At this point, Aaron remembered 
everything that had happened the evening before.
	"Mrs. Kelly! God I'm sorry..." Aaron started to say before he was 
interrupted. "Don't worry about it. This isn't the first time I've been 
mistaken for someone else when waking a guest up. Do you want any help 
changing?" Aaron was asked as he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and 
became more aware of his surroundings. "No, Thank you. Do I have enough 
time to get a shower before Kevin gets here?"
	"As long as it's a quick one. You, and your brothers are joining 
us for brunch so I'm having Kevin bring you more acceptable clothing to 
wear." Mrs. Kelly stopped cold as she finished say this and got a 
startled look on her face. "Is there something wrong?" Aaron asked in 
concern. "I forgot to mention to have your brother bring you some extra 
diaper changes. Oh well, I guess you can borrow some of John's diapers 
you both look about the same size. And before I forget, Just place your 
cloth diapers in the pail in the bathroom. We'll get them cleaned and 
have Erin bring them back to you at work when she works next." Aaron 
Just nodded at this and started to head for the bathroom to take a 
shower. Mrs. Kelly was a bit shocked, but also very pleased when Aaron 
walked past her wearing nothing but his soaked night time diaper.
	Kevin got an even bigger shock when he arrived at the Kelly's 
than he expected when he saw Aaron sitting on the living room couch in 
nothing but a diaper and T-shirt that he had bummed off John. "Morning 
Kev, Those my clothes?" Aaron asked as he stood up to greet his 
brother. "Yeah, they are." Kevin replied in a stunned voice as he 
handed the bag over. "Thanks. I'll be back down in a few minutes. Is it 
Ok if I use your room, John?"
	"Feel, free." John replied to the request. Once Aaron was out of 
ear shot, Kevin started speaking. "What the hell is going on here?" 
Kevin asked in shock. "Why don't you have a seat first and we'll tell 
you." Mr. Kelly said ignoring the previous statement from his guest. 
Knowing that it was made more from surprise than anything else. "I take 
it that your brother's attitude surprised you a bit?" Mr. Kelly asked 
once everyone was comfortable. "That would be a bit of an 
understatement. I mean, until today, I would have been able to tell how 
many times I've seen him that relaxed sitting around in just a diaper 
and a T-shirt. Especially when women were around. No offense intended." 
Kevin added quickly. "No offense taken. Having been around Aaron enough 
times in the past six months, I know what you mean." Mrs. Kelly said 
with a smile. "I'm sure you do. I just can't get over how much of a 
change in him has happened in the last Twenty-four hours. I'd love to 
know what you did?"
	"I can tell you exactly what she and Erin did." Aaron said having 
over heard the last comment his brother made. Aaron's comment made 
everyone jump since they hadn't heard him come back in the room. "They 
showed me the first real maternal love I've ever known. It's been 
chipping away at the wall that had built up over the years for awhile 
now. It all came to a head last night when Steve dropped off the 
overnight bag. I guess he probably realized how close to breaking 
through I was because instead of the disposables I normally use on 
sleepovers he brought over several of my cloth diapers." Aaron told 
them noticing the pissed look Steven received from their brother before 
he continued. "Anyway, Since there had been some misunderstandings 
earlier in the day Mrs. Kelly thought it might be best if she helped me 
get ready for bed to help clear the air so to speak. Well, you can 
probably imagine my reaction to having a woman coming at me with some 
cloth diapers. Mrs. Kelly was patient and comforting with me while 
putting the diaper on. I don't really remember all that she said but it 
helped break down the final pieces of the wall. I probably still have a 
way to go before I'm completely over this, if I ever am, But I owe a 
debt of gratitude to you for helping me with a very large step in my 
recovery." Aaron was able to get out before breaking down entirely. 
Kevin and Mrs. Kelly were the first ones to his side to help him. About 
this time Josh walked into the house. John seeing him first placed a 
finger to his lips to keep his brother quiet and motioned for him to 
head upstairs.
	"So, what was going on down there John?" Josh asked as he was 
herded into his brother's room and started to get undressed from the 
shorts he was wearing. Not realizing he was in the wrong room. "Aaron 
finally got over a major hurdle in recovering over what happened to him 
several years ago. Josh just nodded at this since he vaguely knew about 
what happened to Aaron from his sister. "Huh, would you mind getting me 
some pants and a shirt from my room?" Josh asked in some embarrassment 
as he walked over to his brother's closet and grabbed one of the 
disposable diapers he had stored there. "Sure. I'll be right back." 
John told his brother with a smile, since this was exactly what he had 
planned. John knew his parents didn't want Josh finding out what they 
had done to his room until after breakfast and they had the time to 
talk to him about it.
	"Boys, hurry up and finish getting ready to go. I want to be out 
the door in five minutes"
	"OK, Mom. we'll be right down." John called back.

Chapter 64

	Kevin marveled all through the rest of the day at the changes 
that had come over his youngest brother during that weekend. During 
breakfast he actually tried to join in on the conversations more than 
he normally would have in a situation like this one. One thing that he 
seemed to be interested in the most was when Josh had been talking 
about his time with the Ricos. John, Steven, and Aaron all seemed to 
ready to burst with laughter when josh mentioned the little stunt he 
pulled on John concerning the mini-HALO jump he pulled. Though he saw 
that Josh's parents were less than amused by this little story.
	"Josh, when we get home we need to have a bit of a talk." Mrs. 
Kelly told her youngest son as they pulled away from the restaurant. 
"OK. I have some things I need to ask you as well." Josh replied. 
Thinking that his parents wanted to talk to him about the stunt he 
pulled on John. He did however decide that he was going to keep his 
mouth shut about what had prompted it. His only concern was making sure 
that he managed to talk to the Rico's about that before they mentioned 
anything to his parents about it.
	"Do you know what we wanted to talk to you about?" Josh was asked 
by his dad once they were seated in his office at home. "I think so, 
but why don't you tell me, in case, I'm thinking of the wrong thing." 
Josh responded politely and coolly. This caught both of Josh's parents 
off guard since they were trying to use that opening as a way to get 
Josh to tell them why he had pulled the stunt that he had. "All right, 
I will. We wanted to talk to you about your behavior over the last 
year. Mainly in how you've been acting after we had that fight a couple 
of months before we moved here about you needing to act more mature." 
Mr. Kelly started. "We've noticed a disturbing trend in how you tend to 
be acting far older than you are. Your aunt and uncle had made the same 
comments to us concerning your behavior while you were staying with 
them over the summer. Your father and I feel that this was brought 
about by comments we had made to you during that argument, and want you 
to know that we're sorry about it. While we still would like you to act 
more mature and accept more responsibility from time to time we would 
like to see the little boy we grew to love and care about. We also 
would like you to start taking open pride in some of the things you've 
done over the years." Mrs. Kelly finished in a bit of a choking voice. 
"I'm sorry if how I've acted lately has upset you. I just thought this 
is how you wanted me to start being. I'll try to tone things down a bit 
with the seriousness that I've been displaying, but I'm afraid to much 
has happened in the past year for me to return to the fun loving kid 
that you remember." came the choked reply. The elder Kelly's seemed to 
think this over for several minutes while Josh composed himself. They 
both had to agree with what their son had told them about not being 
able to go back to how he was before since that person, for the most 
part, no longer existed. "Josh, you mentioned earlier that you had 
something to ask us about?" Mr. Kelly announced after a few minutes of 
silence. "Yeah. As you know the Rico's help run a jump school, well 
over the weekend they asked if I would be interested in joining the 
Junior jump team as an alternate. I would like to do this, but only if 
you and mom are OK with it." Both of Josh's parents looked a bit 
worried about this. "I could have the Rico's talk to you about this a 
bit if you need more information. But like I said, I'll leave the final 
decision up to you." Josh stated, as he got up to leave the room and 
give his parents a little time to talk about all this in private. 
"That's fine Josh, but your father or I will call the Rico's if we feel 
the need to do so." Josh nodded to this and left the room. About the 
time Josh walked out of the office the door bell rang.
	"I've got it!" Josh yelled. He was more than a bit surprised to 
see Alex Rico, his parents and David and Caleb standing there. "Hello, 
Josh. We figured that your parents might have some questions about you 
joining the Junior team at the club. That is, if you've had the chance 
to talk about it to them yet?" Mr. Rico asked once Josh had them come 
into the house. "We just got done talking about. I was giving them some 
time to think it over." Josh replied, before turning to his other 
friends. "You guys can wait up in my room. I'll be there in a few 
minutes." David, Alex, and Caleb were told.
	Once they had headed up to his room, Josh turned his attention 
back to the Rico's. "I'm surprised you didn't bring John with you."
	"He was still a bit shook up over that jump yesterday." Mrs. Rico 
told him. "I hope I didn't scare him to badly. It's just that I finally 
got fed up with all the crap he was giving me."
	"We can understand that. We also knew that this was a possibility 
when you suggested it to us. If we didn't agree with what you were 
doing then we wouldn't have allowed it."
	"Good point. Before I take you in to my parents, I need to let 
you know that I didn't mention the stunt John tried to pull with the 
fouled up chutes. I'd be grateful if you wouldn't mention it either." 
John's parents were told before Josh knocked on the door to his parents 
office.
	"Yes?" Mrs. Kelly called out when she heard the knock on the 
door. "Mom, Mr. and Mrs. Rico are here and would like to talk to you 
and dad about what we just spoke about." Josh told her after sticking 
his head through the door. "I thought I told you your father or I would 
call them if we needed to." Mrs. Kelly responded, thinking that her son 
had called them over. Mr. Rico came to Josh's defense after walking 
past the boy. "Actually, my wife and I came over on our own thinking 
that you and you husband would have some questions." On hearing this, 
Josh was offered a quick apology and sent on his way, and was told that 
he would be called if his input was needed for anything. Josh nodded at 
this and left the room again.
	"What the hell?!" Josh announced on walking into his room, and 
scaring his guests in the process. "Jeez, Josh. I have to change my 
GoodNites, now." David stated in a startled voice. "Sorry about that 
David. I just was surprised by my room is all." Josh replied. "Yeah, 
well, maybe next time you shouldn't shout out like that." David said 
with a grin showing his friend not to take the comment too seriously. 
In spite of his shock, Josh smiled as well. David left the room holding 
a clean pair of GoodNites, as Erin and John came running in after 
hearing Josh's somewhat loud comment. "How do you like it?" Erin asked, 
startling her baby brother. "I'm not sure. I'm still trying to take all 
this in." Came the soft reply. After looking around himself, John could 
see why his brother was a bit shocked at how his room now looked. Where 
the walls of the room were mostly blank the Friday before, they now had 
pictures taken of Josh over the years along with all of the team 
pennants that he had collected, along with shelves filled with awards 
and trophies Josh had won for different sports he had played back in 
England. The most notable of all these was the shooting trophy Josh had 
won earlier that summer. John was surprised at how much the room now 
looked like a normal Twelve-year-olds room, except for the changing 
table that still stood along one wall. Josh was just kind of walked 
around the room in a daze trying to take everything in. "Oh, God. How 
did mom and dad get a hold of that one?" Josh asked in a combined 
choked and surprised voice. Hearing this, everyone in the room gathered 
around the photo showing Josh puking into a helmet. The caption 
underneath gave explanation to it. "Josh's reaction to his first Jump". 
"I'm going to have to have a long talk with Uncle James about this when 
I see him next." Josh stated with a bit of a smile on his face seeing 
the humor of the situation. "That's sick!" David exclaimed when he came 
back in and saw the picture that everyone was looking at. "Well, don't 
look at it then." Erin said with a laugh as she gave David's padded 
rump a swat on her way out the door. "And Josh, I'm glad you like the 
room." Erin told him seriously. "I do, and thanks for keeping some of 
this stuff for me all this time." Erin just nodded and went back to her 
own room. John left a few minutes later.
	For the next hour the four boys played video games in Josh's 
revamped room. David and Caleb were both a bit awe struck by some of 
the things that now were on display in their friend's room. The one 
trophy that Alex really got a kick from was the one for the rugby 
league championship for 9-10 year olds. This told him exactly why Josh 
was able to man handle his brother so easily. The thing that took Alex 
by surprise the most, was the fact that once Erin, and John left the 
room Caleb and Josh both joined David by stripping down to just a T-
shirt and their diapers. Alex was just about to ask Caleb if he could 
borrow one of his diapers and join them when they heard Mrs. Kelly and 
Rico coming up the stairs.

Chapter 65

	Josh looked up expectantly when his mom and Mrs. Rico walked into 
the room. "Before you ask, we still have some things to discuss." Mrs. 
Kelly told her some when she saw the look on his face. Josh nodded at 
this and went back to the game he was playing with his friends. "Well, 
I have to say Janet that this really gives me some ideas." Mrs. Rico. 
"I'm glad you like it. Most of the shelving and such we had just put up 
over the last few days. I think you'll be surprised by how much more 
you can fit into a standard closet with the use of cubby hole shelves." 
Josh's mom stated just before she opened Josh's closet. Josh's head 
whipped around at this and then turned a bright red when Mrs. Rico saw 
and started flipping through some of the more toddlerish style clothing 
he had. He didn't really mind her seeing all the cloth diapers he had 
displayed since she already knew about his wearing diapers and probably 
figured that he wore cloth diapers at home. "I see what you mean. I 
think a set up like this would help out with my boys. What do you think 
Alex?" Mrs. Rico asked her son, who had come over to take a look for 
himself. "I think that would be great. I would have some place other 
than my dresser to put my own diapers and I wouldn't have to worry 
about people accidentally finding them there. I bet some of these 
clothes would be handy to have at times too." He mentioned while 
flipping through some of the clothes. Both moms just laughed at this. 
"You know Alex, you just gave me a great idea for your brother. Did you 
order these online?" Mrs. Kelly was asked by her guest. "No, I got them 
here in town. Klothes for Kids has a special department that handles 
orders for that. I have a card for the person that runs it. I'll get 
for you before you leave."
	"That would be nice. You wouldn't happen to have any information 
on cloth diapers would you? With how John was acting over the last 
couple of days my husband and I decided to make this more of a long 
term thing than we were first thinking of.", Mrs. Rico said with a bit 
of a smile, "Besides, this will give Alex a chance to pay his brother 
back for all the teasing he's been given over the years."
	"Sweet!" Alex yelled when he heard his mom make that statement. 
Both ladies smiled at this interruption. "Let me check with my 
daughter. She works in the special orders department and might have 
that information." Mrs. Kelly said as she headed out of the room to 
check on the asked for information. "So Alex, you think you'd like some 
clothes like this?" his mom asked him while Josh's mom was out of the 
room. "Yeah, I think it would be cool to have some clothes like this. 
Were you serious about putting John back into cloth diapers?"
	"Yes, we are. Your dad and I think it'll be cheaper this way in 
the long run. And like I said, it'll give you a chance to pay your 
brother back for some of the teasing he's given you about wearing cloth 
diapers over the years." Alex was told with a smile. About this time, 
Mrs. Kelly came back into the room holding a thick three-ring binder. 
"This has all the information the store carries on both disposable and 
cloth diapers. As well as the special order clothes. Though with the 
clothes you have to make an appointment since those are made to size 
for the individual." Mrs. Rico was told with a smile as she was handed 
the binder. "I have some pictures of Josh in some if you'd like to know 
what they actually look like on a person."
	"I'd like that, if Josh doesn't have any problems with it." Mrs. 
Rico stated respecting Josh's feelings on the matter. "I don't mind if 
you show them mom." Josh announced. Mrs. Kelly just smiled at this 
since she had a strong feeling that this would be his answer.
	"Man, this is going to be so great seeing John go back into cloth 
diapers. It'll be even funnier seeing him in some of the clothes like 
you have Josh. Oh, by the way, I thought you'd might like to see this." 
Alex said with a grin as he pulled a CD from the cargo pocket of the 
shorts he had on. "You'll get a real laugh out of this." Alex chuckled 
as he loaded the CD into Josh's computer.
	Josh started giggling when he saw the opening frames of a home 
movie and realized that it was of the tandem jump he had done with John 
the day before. All of the boys started laughing when they heard the 
comments Josh made to Alex's father the day before. The laughing got 
even harder when the scene changed over to once they had gotten home 
that night and John had been stripped down to just his diapers. "Oh 
here comes one of the good parts." Alex stated gleefully. About this 
time John came into the room to see what all the laughter was about and 
to have them tone it down some since he was trying to study. "You guys 
think you could keep the laughter down. I'm trying to study. What's so 
funny anyway?" they were asked when John saw that they were all huddled 
around Josh's computer. Josh just put a finger to his lips and motioned 
John over. John started laughing himself when he saw what was playing 
on the screen and who the main character was.
	"Mom, please don't do this! I told him I was sorry. Please don't 
put me back in a diaper." A sobbing voice called out."
	"Now Johnny, you know you've been very bad today and we need to 
punish you for that. Besides we don't want you to get a rash now do 
we." A female voice called. The camera moved around in time to see John 
running past a doorway stark naked and a lady not far behind him 
holding a thick diaper. Moment later a thud and some struggling was 
heard off screen. After several seconds of bouncing around the frame 
settled on John being held down by his father while his mom started to 
lotion and powder his but and balls. "Now Johnny none of that now." his 
mom told him sternly while raising his legs by the ankles to give him a 
few sharp swats to the butt after he tried to kick her. Once the last 
swat and been delivered, John's mom grabbed the open diaper that was 
laying next to her and swiftly placed it under her still slightly 
struggling son. With the diaper under him, Mrs. Rico was seen to be 
quickly inserting something up John's butt. Turning to the camera she 
gave a wink as she pulled the diaper snuggly up between John's legs and 
fastened the tapes. By this time, John had stopped fighting completely 
and just laid on the floor crying, though this was muffled due to the 
pacifier John had strapped on. As Mrs. Rico was seen walking off, Mr. 
Rico stood his son up and ran several lengths of packing tape around 
John's diaper so it couldn't be easily removed. Once this was done, 
John was picked up and carried over to the couch where Mr. Rico just 
sat with the still sobbing John on his lap. After a few minutes Mrs. 
Rico returned holding a bottle and teddy bear. Once she handed the bear 
to John and the bottle to her husband, she bent down and unfastened the 
strap that was holding the pacifier in place. Before john could utter a 
word of protest the bottle was stuck in his mouth. Within seconds, John 
started sucking on it. "Now since little Johnny was such a bad boy 
about getting his dydee changed he won't be able to go out with his 
family, but Jessica seemed more that happy to come over and watch 
wittle Johnny while we're gone." Mrs. Rico told her eldest son. With 
this comment the CD ended.
	All the boys had tears running down their faces by this time and 
it was several minutes before John could say anything. "I'm going to 
need to change after watching that." John wheezed while still trying to 
get his breathing under control. "It's a good thing you were smart 
enough to use the smiley faces though, or you could have gotten in 
trouble." David said before breaking back down into laughter at Alex's 
use of a Smiley face icon to cover his brother's groin when he caught 
footage of it during the change. "I'd love to be able to pass this 
around school but it's not worth the trouble. Besides, It'll get out 
soon enough that he's back in diapers.
	While all this was going on upstairs, the Ricos and Kellys were 
having a laugh of their own going through the photos of Josh that had 
been taken during his photo shoot earlier that summer and of the ones 
Josh's mom had taken when his new clothes had come in.
	"I have to say Janet, Josh is extremely photogenic. Do you know 
if he's ever thought about doing any serious modeling work?" Mrs. Rico 
said after looking over both sets of photos. "Not that that I know of. 
You think he a chance of doing this professionally?"
	"For now, he could do very well. I work at a modeling studio that 
handles both local and national stores and from what I see here Josh 
some of the best photo sense I've seen in a good while. He seems a bit 
tense in some of the beginning photos, but relaxes very quickly. You 
might want to talk to him about it."
	"You don't think Josh needing to wear diapers would be a mark 
against him do you?" Mr. Kelly asked jumping into the conversation. "In 
some areas it would, but there seems to be a growing market for clothes 
designed for special need kids. What I mean by that is kids, like Josh, 
that need to wear some type of protection, or have limited range of 
motion and need specially designed clothes." Fran told Josh's parents 
quickly on see the look on their faces at her first choice of words. 
This seemed to placate them a bit. "Just this past week we had a chain 
store on the west coast contact us about doing an ad for them because 
they plan on opening some stores in the area and they like using local 
kids when ever they can. Alex has already agreed to take place in the 
ad. I think Josh would fit right in and since he now has previous 
experience in this kind of shoot he would be even better." Mr. and Mrs. 
Kelly looked at each other and shrugged. "We'll talk to him about it. 
But just so you know, if he declines that's the end of it." Mrs. Kelly 
said firmly. "That's fine. I've dealt with kids before whose parents 
were forcing them to do the ad and it was a disaster. Let me know what 
he decides and if you'd like me to come over and explain things further 
I can do that as well." The Kelly's just nodded at this and after a few 
more minutes the Ricos stated they needed to get going since John had 
been left with a babysitter.
	"Josh, Mrs. Rico mentioned earlier that a store her office does 
the ads for is looking for kids to help model the clothes line they 
carry and after seeing the photos that you had taken for the Thickies 
was wondering if you'd like to take part in the ads." Janet told her 
son over dinner that night. "It sounds like it could be interesting. 
What about my diapers though?"
	"I was told that this company deals in cloths for special needs 
kids. So your diapers wouldn't be a problem. Though if you decide to do 
this we probably would have you wear some of your thinner diapers since 
I doubt most kids that need diapers tend to wear them as thick as you 
do at times." Josh was told with a grin. Josh and John both grinned at 
this knowing that several of the people they knew liked wearing thick 
diapers. "I'd like to think about it for a bit if that's OK."
	"That isn't a problem. And so you know, I told Fran that the 
choice to do the shoot was entirely up to you." Josh nodded at this 
thinking that it would be kind of cool to do some more modeling since 
he had so much fun doing the Thickies ads over the summer. Going off 
the look on her sons' face, Mrs. Kelly had a very strong feeling that 
Josh was going to accept it but wasn't going to put any pressure on him 
over it.
	The one thing Josh was really wanting to ask his parents about 
was their decision on his being allowed to join the jump team. Though 
the desire to ask them about it was great, Josh felt that he would have 
a better chance of getting what he wanted if he waited till his parents 
approached him about it.
	Once dinner was done the elder Kelly's into the living room to 
watch a movie that they had been wanting to see for some time leaving 
the kids to handle clearing the table and doing the dishes. After 
getting the dishes done, John and Erin bid the parents good night and 
headed up to their rooms to complete last minute homework. Josh started 
watching the movie with his parents. but soon grew bored with it and 
like his older siblings went up to his room after bidding his parents 
good night. Once in his room, Josh changed over to some of his night 
cloth diapers while he waited for his computer booting up. When he saw 
that his computer had finished booting he logged on to the net and set 
off an e-mail to his cousin Kevin and Graham to let them know what had 
been going on the last couple months. After sending the letters off, 
Josh hit a couple of his favorite websites and looked into the company 
that his mom had mentioned earlier about him doing some ads for. 
Growing bored with this after a bit, he logged off and shut his machine 
down. He then crawled into bed with a book he had been wanting a chance 
to read for a while.
	Erin smiled to herself a few hours later when she went to see if 
Josh was ready for bed yet and to help him in to his cloth diapers if 
he needed it and found Josh fast asleep with his thickly padded 
posterior high in the air. Erin quietly walked over to her brothers' 
sleeping form and removed the book that he was holding loosely in one 
hand. She then placed his teddy bear in his arms and covered him with 
the light blanket from the end of his bed. After giving his butt a 
light pat of affection she turned the lights off and closed the door 
behind her.

Chapter 66

	"I see our resident toddler has decided to join us again." Josh 
was told snidely as he walked in to his World History class after his 
week in suspension.. Ignoring this barb, Josh handed over the packet of 
home work that he had been given to do. Though he had been informed 
that it would be lowered by one letter grade from the one he earn as 
punishment to go along with the suspension. "And what's this?" Mr. 
McThorton asked while taking the offered packet. "The homework from 
last week. I was told that I would need to turn it in today."
	"That won't be necessary. Since you didn't turn the assignments 
in at the time they were due, I've marked them as a failing grade. Now 
take your seat so we can begin class. "I was told that the papers would 
be accepted today and would only be lowered by one grade."
	"That may be how it works with your other classes, but that isn't 
now it works in mine. Now take your seat before there is real trouble."
	"But.." Josh started to say before getting interrupted. "I said 
sit your diapered ass down. Now!" Josh was told coldly. This brought 
the entire class to silence. The only person that seemed to be smiling 
at this was Neil. Without another word, Josh took his seat glaring at 
his teacher the entire time. What most of the people didn't know is 
that Josh had started carrying a small tape recorder to class and was 
dropping it off in the office each day so a transcript could be made 
from it. Half-way through class a wet sounding fart was heard and with 
in minutes the whole class could tell that someone crapped their pants. 
Everyone started to look at Josh thinking he was the one. "Mr. Kelly, 
what the hell do you think your playing at messing yourself in my 
class?" Their teacher announced loudly . "It wasn't me. So don't jump 
down my throat about it." Josh shot back. "Don't lie to me boy. This 
entire school knows that you piss your pants like a baby. "I may have a 
wetting problem, but that doesn't mean I also crap in them. Besides, 
the smell is coming from the other side of the class. And speaking of 
shit, I've had enough of yours. I'm out of here." Josh shot back in a 
cold voice as he gathered the report he had just been handed back 
shoved it into his book bag, stood up and walked out of the class. 
Before he was half-way down the hall Neal ran past him crying and from 
the scent that Josh caught as Neil ran by this told him who had shit 
their pants.
	"Mr. Krueger is waiting for you." The secretary told him as he 
walked into the office. "OK, you want to tell me what's going on? Not 
only did Mr. McThorton call up here about you disrupting his class but 
several other teachers did as well." Since Josh was still trying to get 
his temper under control he pulled out the tape recorder and tossed it 
on the principal's desk. Mr. Krueger's face was a mask of shock once he 
got done listening to the tape. "Did you happen to get that report you 
turned in last week back. "Yeah. I haven't looked at it yet. My 
partners and I did switch parts like I informed you of just before I 
handed it in." Josh told him. "Alright. I'm going to have to call your 
mother in on this. Meet us back here after your last class.", Josh was 
told as Mr. Krueger looked at the clock, "The bell is about to ring so 
why don't you head on to your next class. "Yes, sir." Josh replied as 
he lifted his book bag and left the office.
	Once Josh had left the office Mr. Krueger replayed the tape and 
got even angrier the second time around. "Jen, I'll need this tape 
transcribed as quickly as possible also get the superintendent on the 
phone and I'll need the special file on Joshua Kelly and get me the 
contact number for his mother as well." Mr. Krueger told his secretary 
before walking back into his office.
	"I don't think I've ever seen McThorton this pissed. You should 
have seen how he lit into Neal once he found out that Neal was the one 
that crapped his pants. It looked like McThorton was going to Stroke 
out or something." David said when Josh sat down. "I'll bet. For a 
couple of seconds I felt like decking him."
	"I don't blame you there. With all the crap he's been giving you 
over the last couple of months, It's surprising that you didn't walk 
out of the class sooner than you did."
	"I know. I just wonder what my mom is going to say when she hears 
about this." Josh stated as John sat down. "You wonder what mom is 
going to say about what?" John asked as he set his tray down. With a 
sigh, Josh started telling his brother what had happened in his history 
class. "All I have to say that if they don't can him after this, I'm 
going to request being moved to a different class."
	"By the way, how's gym going with Rico?" Josh asked after a few 
moments of thought. This caused all the boys at the table to start 
laughing. "Wait till you see how puffed out his shorts are." David 
laughed. "You mean his parents didn't get him any new shorts when they 
switched him back over to diapers?" Josh asked in surprise. Remembering 
how close fitting John normally wore his shorts. "It doesn't look like 
it. If the diapers he wears were any thicker he wouldn't be able to his 
shorts on at all." Josh's brother laughed. "Or if his shorts were any 
smaller." Caleb added with a smile. This last comment got John and Josh 
thinking about a great joke to play since Rico still had a bit of a 
chip on his shoulder over being back in diapers. The Kelly boys shared 
a knowing look as if they had read each other minds. The rest of lunch 
was spent talking about how nice it would be if McThorton was fired. 
"I'll see you in Gym John. I have to change really quick before class." 
John nodded at this as his brother got up from the table and headed out 
the door after dropping his tray off.
	"Ah Man!" Josh thought to himself as he felt his bowels let loose 
on his way to the office. "At least it's solid." He added a minute 
later as he felt the mass in the back of his diaper. Stopping only long 
enough to finish pooping Josh then hurried into the nurses office and 
was lucky enough to find one of the toilet equipped changing rooms 
open. All the while he was changing, Josh was hoping that this was only 
a freak accident and not an indication the he was losing bowel control 
again. "I never thought I'd actually have to use these snaps myself." 
Josh mused as he undid the snaps along the inseam of his pants. Once he 
had the snaps open, Josh unbuttoned, and unzipped his pants before 
stepping out of them so he could make sure no poop got on them while he 
changed. After he had the soiled diaper off and the mass dumped in the 
toilet, Josh proceeded to wipe himself down. He was more than a little 
shocked to find that almost no fecal matter remained on his butt after 
he pulled the diaper away. Within minutes Josh had himself wiped down 
and was applying lotion to his butt and balls. As he was sprinkling 
powder on a fresh diaper there was a knock on the door. "Yes?" Josh 
called out. "Josh, Mr. Krueger would like to see you in his office once 
you're done."
	"Okay, thank you." josh answered as he picked up the just 
powdered diaper and pinning it against one of the walls with his butt, 
pulled it up snuggly between his legs and taped it closed. With all 
this done, he stepped back into his pants and after zipping them up and 
buttoning them closed started in on snapping the crotch closed again. 
He walked out off the room fifteen minutes after he walked in.
	"I was told that Mr. Krueger wanted to see me?" Josh stated as he 
walked into the office. "They're waiting for you in the conference 
room." Josh was told. With some trepidation Josh walked up to the 
indicated door and knocked loudly before entering. Josh really became 
nervous when he saw that his mom, Mr. Krueger and a couple of other 
people he didn't know were all looking at him.
	"Have a seat Mr. Kelly." Josh was told by his principal. "This is 
the young man I was telling you about and one of the main people you've 
heard on the tapes I played for you a short while ago." Mr. Krueger 
told the other people in the room before introducing them to him. Josh 
almost wet himself he was so nervous when he found out that two of the 
people in the room with him was the District Superintendent and the 
Chairman of the State Board of Education. Without even conscious 
thought quickly slipped into the mind frame of a military officer. 
Josh's mom was the only one who truly recognized the change in her 
son's posture and more importantly the look in his eyes. With a small 
nod, she was able to let her son know that this was the right time for 
this. "Joshua, I'd like you to tell us in your own words about what has 
been going on in your World History class this year and why it took you 
as long as it did to bring it to someone's attention." Josh was asked 
by Mr. Krueger. Josh got the feeling right then that his principal was 
going to be handing most of the questions during this inquiry. "Yes 
sir. The treatment I had received started from pretty much the first 
day. Some other students had been singled out as well but they 
requested transfers to other classes within the first week. By the time 
I decided to do the same the other classes were full and Mr. McThorton 
made it very clear to me that he would never sign my request slip even 
if space did become available." They were informed in a very matter of 
fact tone. "My mother became aware of the problem shortly after that 
when I had brought home a paper that had been graded lower that it 
should have been. After looking over the paper, she contacted Mr. 
Krueger and things have progressed to this point from there."
	"And aside from getting marked down on your papers, How were you 
treated during class?" The District Superintendent asked. "With nothing 
less than pure racism. Comments were constantly being made that would 
seem decretory about my being of British Descent. Due to my medical 
condition, I was also referred to as the classes resident toddler. If 
one of the students decided to make any type of uncalled for comment 
against me Mr. McThorton would either ignore it or laugh along with it 
himself. When I would do the same he would tell me to be quiet and 
would dock me points for the day for disrupting the class. the only 
time things like this didn't happen was when we either had a guest 
speaker or a sub." Came the reply. Nobody in the room could miss the 
cold fury that seemed to come forth with the statement. After another 
twenty minutes of questioning, Josh and his mom were asked to wait out 
in the main office. Ten minutes later they were asked back in as Mr. 
McThorton walked into the office.
	After quick introductions the meeting got back on track. Neither 
of the superintendents, the principal, or Josh's mom could possibly 
have missed the unbridled hated that seemed to fill the room once Josh 
and his teacher locked eyes on each other. "Mr. McThorton, My office 
over the last couple of years have been getting severe complaints about 
the conduct in your classroom. I was unable to do anything about it 
since no one was willing to come forward with any solid proof of any 
misconduct. That is until now. Given the information we've gathered 
over the last couple of months, I feel that there is enough evidence to 
warrant your dismissal. After having talked it over with both the 
District Superintendent and the Head of the State Board of Education, I 
hereby place you on permanent suspension without pay till such time 
that a full investigation can be completed and a hearing be held to see 
if any further disciplinary action, up to and including termination, 
should be taken. I'll be having Mr. Hamilton and Officer Mendoza escort 
you back to your class. You'll then pack your belongings and leave the 
building and Mr. Hamilton will take over your class for the rest of the 
day."
	"You can't do that! I have the right to demand a hearing right 
now!" Mr. McThorton yelled. "You don't want to do that, Robert. By 
District code, an emergency disciplinary meeting can be held if you 
have at least two District board officers and one of the district 
lawyers present. and seeing that meet that with the people in this room 
we could terminate you right now if we were so inclined." Came the calm 
but rock hard reply. "Don't fucking bother then. It's obvious that this 
little Brit bastard has gotten to you. I bloody quit!" Mr. McThorton 
replied while working towards the door. Without a word, he flung the 
door open, stepped through and slammed it behind him. "Josh, since 
school is almost done for the day you can head to your locker and come 
back here. I'll send one of the aids with you so you won't get in 
trouble. I will ask that you not say anything till it's official. " Mr. 
Krueger told him after a few minutes of stunned silence. "Yes, sir." 
Josh replied as he got out of his seat.
	"What was going on in there? We could hear the yelling all over 
the office." The aid asked as Josh walked towards his locker. "I can't 
say. Mr. Krueger told me not to." Josh replied with a shrug. This 
seemed to end the aides curiosity, but Josh had a feeling that since 
most of the people in the office heard that final exchange that the 
entire school would know what happened by the end of the next school 
day.
	The final bell of the day rang just as Josh reentered the office. 
John came in a few minutes later surprised to see his mom and brother 
talking with several people in suits.

Chapter 68

	"Josh, mom wanted me to let you know dinner will be ready in a 
few minutes so you need to get washed up." Erin told her brother a few 
hours later
	"Okay, I'll be down in a few minutes." Josh stated as he finished 
on the last few math problems he had. After feeling the front of his 
diaper to quickly check if he need a change or not, Josh put his books 
away and headed off to the bathroom to wash his hands before heading 
off to dinner.
	"I'm glad you didn't keep up waiting too long." Josh's mom joked 
as he walked into the dining room.
	"I wanted to finish the last couple of math problems I had so I 
wouldn't lose my train of thought on them and you did ask me to make 
sure I washed my hands before coming down as well." Josh shot back with 
a smile.
	"What did you kids plan on doing for Halloween this weekend?" Mr. 
Kelly asked after a few minutes.
	"I have to work that night and I'm not sure yet if they allow for 
dressing up or not." Erin announced.
	"That reminds me John, You and josh will be on your own this year 
trick or treating." Erin said with a smile towards her younger 
brothers.
	"That's OK, Erin. I was planning on hooking up with DJ, his 
brothers, and a couple of other people."
	"What about you, Josh?" Mr. Kelly asked his youngest son.
	"I haven't really decided yet if I'm going to do anything or not. 
I guess it depends on how much homework that I have to get done." This 
answer caused both of the elder Kelly's to frown since they both knew 
how much Josh used to love going out on Halloween regardless of how 
much homework he had at the time. They also knew that he could easily 
afford to turn in any work he got a day or two late and not have it 
affect his overall grade on bit.
	"You would have a problem if Joshua joined you, would you?" Mrs. 
Kelly asked.
	"Not at all. The younger brothers of some of the other guys will 
be joining us as well, so Josh would fit right in. We'd be glad to have 
him." John answered confidently, having already checked things out with 
DJ and the other guys he was going to going with. Josh knew what his 
family was trying to do and was already trying to think of a way to get 
out of going. Short of getting into serious trouble, he did notice at 
the time that John and Erin both saw the look in his eyes after his 
brother's statement that he was more than welcome to join the group he 
was going out with. The rest of the dinner conversation centered around 
how everybody's day went.
	"Josh, could I see you in my room for a few minutes after you're 
done with your shower." John told his brother as Josh headed to get his 
shower before retiring to his room for the night.
	"Sure. I'll be in as soon as I'm done." Josh told his brother.
	"I wonder if Josh is still going to be like that when puberty 
really hits him?" John thought to himself with a smile as he watched 
Josh walked right past their sister as if he were fully dressed instead 
of stark naked.
	"Did you tell Josh to meet you in your room after his shower?" 
Erin asked breaking john away from his thoughts.
	"Huh, Oh yeah, I did. We might want to go ahead and bring his 
diapers and PJ's into my room and change him there while we talk to 
him." John suggested to his sister.
	"Good idea. I'll go get the stuff now. He shouldn't be too long." 
Erin said as she walked off.
	"Yeah right." John chuckled softly as he turned and went back 
into his own room to get his diapers on for the night.
	"So what did you guys want to talk to me about?" Josh asked 
thirty minutes later. John smiled a bit when he noticed that his 
brother was slightly flushed and still partly erect. To keep from 
embarrassing his brother, and so that he and Erin would have Josh's 
full attention, John didn't make the joke he normally would have.
	"About what we were talking about over dinner concerning this 
Saturday night." Erin said as she led Josh over to where she had Josh's 
night diapers laid out and ready for him.
	"What about it? Like I told mom, it would all depend on how much 
homework I have to do." Josh replied as he was laid out on the diapers 
and Erin picked up the lotion John normally used for his own changes.
	"Yeah, but Erin and I both saw the look you had on your face when 
you said that. With how grown-up you've been acting, we could tell that 
you were probably thinking of some way to get into enough trouble that 
mom and dad would ground you or something so you wouldn't have to go 
out. Since we all know that mom and dad plan on going out themselves if 
you get grounded that means one of us would have to stay home with you. 
Since Erin has to work that night it means that I would have to drop my 
plans to stay home with you. And if that happens, I'm going to be 
seriously pissed and we both know I can be like when that happens. So 
make it easy on all of us, keep your nose clean and do exactly as 
you're told. Am I Clear On This?" John finished sternly.
	"But I don't..." Josh started to say before getting interrupted 
by his brother.
	"I Said, Am I Clear On This!" John said more forcefully this 
time. Catching the tone his brother was using Josh nodded.
	"We want to hear you verbally, Joshua." Erin piped in as she 
pulled the thick diapers up between her brother's legs.
	"You're clear. I won't make any trouble for you." Josh answered 
glumly as his diapers were securely fastened and he was handed a pair 
of plastic pants to put on over them. After pulling them on and Erin 
making sure the pants covered all of the diaper material, Josh pulled 
on the shirt that was brought in for him to wear to bed and left the 
room without another word to his brother and sister.
	"Do you think he'll actually follow what he promised to?" Erin 
asked during a moment of doubt.
	"He'll do it. We both know Josh well enough with how he's been 
acting this last year that if he promises to do something he will 
regardless of how the promise was obtained." John told his sister 
giving her a look that stated that he was shocked that she even 
considered asking that question.
	"Don't look at me like that. He may have promised to behave, but 
he still acts his real age at times to make me wonder.
	"True. Though I don't think this is one of those times." John 
said as he escorted Erin to the door of his room and closed it behind 
her.
	Josh's parents could tell Josh was mad about something when he 
walked through the living room and headed downstairs carrying the 
equipment bag that he used to carry the gear he used for sparing during 
his Kempo classes.
	"Do you think we should go find out what's bothering him?" Mrs. 
Kelly asked worriedly as she started to get up.
	"Let the boy work it out for himself, Janet. Given the 
conversation at dinner, John and Erin probably got him to agree that he 
wouldn't pull any stupid stunts to get himself grounded over the 
weekend." Her husband told her with a slight grin. Mrs. Kelly still 
looked worried, but thought that he husband was making sense.
	Once he got downstairs, Josh put on the hand and foot pads and 
after a few minutes of going through a warm-up routine he started in on 
the Speed and Heavy punching bags that had been put shortly after they 
moved into the house but hadn't seen much use do to all of Josh's 
injuries.
	Ninety minutes later, when Josh's mom came down to let him know 
it was time for bed, Josh was still going at the Heavy bag strong. Mrs. 
Kelly was surprised at how much the bag was being moved when he son 
connected with it given his size.
	"Josh, it's bed time." Josh was told.
	"Ok, mom. I'll be up in a few minutes after I go through my cool 
down routine." Josh told her only slightly out of breath given the 
amount of energy he had just put out.
	"That's fine. Just don't take to long." His mom answered 
remembering the one time she had insisted he get to bed right then and 
how she spent several hours the next morning giving him a body rub to 
work out all the muscle cramps he had developed because of it. She did 
decide to get Josh up early enough the next morning so he could shower 
before he went to school.
	"John, what did you and Erin say to Josh last night after he got 
his shower?" His dad asked him the next morning after sending Josh off 
to get a shower and coming in to wake him up.
	"Well, Erin and I saw that Josh looked like he was planning to do 
something to get out of going out Saturday night. I didn't want my 
night ruined if he did and got grounded, so Erin and I made him promise 
that he wouldn't do anything stupid to get grounded. Why?"
	"After you and Erin talked to him, Josh took his sparing 
equipment downstairs and started working out. With how much your mom 
said the bag was moving when he hit it, I would have to say that he was 
extremely pissed at you for making him promise what you did." Before he 
could finish, John interrupted.
	"Dad, Josh always gets that bag you guys set up for him moving 
when he works out."
	"You misunderstood me, John. Josh was using my bag, not the one 
you and he uses." This caused John to look up from his diaper change in 
surprise.
	"He was using your bag? Oh shit." John muttered under his breath, 
realizing how mad his brother really was.
	"He was using my bag and it was moving a good four to five inches 
each time he hit it, from what your mom told me. I'm going to tell you 
this only once, and your sister is getting the same warning, You let 
your mother or I know next time you think he might be up to something 
like that and let us handle it. Understood?" he added quietly.
	"Yes, sir." John replied softly, but clearly.
	"OK. Now finished getting dressed breakfast will be done in a 
little bit." John's dad told him as he walked out the door and past 
Josh, who was just coming out of the bathroom. John saw that Josh still 
looked a bit mad so he didn't say anything.

Chapter 69

	"You don't need to eat quite so fast Josh." Mrs. Kelly mentioned 
with a bit of a smile.
	"Sorry. I'm running a bit late. David, Caleb, and I planned on 
riding our bikes to school since we won't have much longer." Josh 
explained as he finished eating and started to take his dishes into the 
kitchen.
	"Oh, that's right. I forgot you had mentioned that last night. 
Well, you best be off then so you aren't late. Have a good day." Josh 
was told as he grabbed his book bag and bike helmet.
	"You too, mom." Josh replied while giving her a peck on the 
cheek. Without a word to his brother, Josh was out the door and heading 
down the street.
	"Hey Josh, I didn't think you were going to make it." David said 
as he saw his friend standing at the door.
	"I had to grab a shower this morning so that threw my timing 
off." Josh said as he walked into the house.
	"That's understandable. Caleb and I should be ready in a few 
minutes ourselves. So what did you have planned for Halloween this 
weekend?" David asked as he started putting his shoes on.
	"I got roped into going out with John and his friends." David 
could tell that this wasn't what his friend had planned and felt that 
he would offer him an alternative to going out with his brother.
	"If it's Ok with our moms, you could join Caleb, me, and our 
brothers and then spend the night."
	"That would be a lot better. Thanks for the offer." About this 
time David's younger brothers, and Caleb walked into the room and on 
seeing Josh gave him their good mornings. a couple of minutes later the 
three older boys were headed off to school.
	"Hey!" Josh exclaimed as he was roughly pushed against his 
locker.
	"You better watch your ass, Kelly. My parents put me back into 
nappies because of you and now the whole school knows because of my 
accident the other day. As long as people give me a hard time about it, 
I'm going to make your life miserable. You got that?" Neil asked while 
pushing Josh back up against his locker.
	"Neil, I had nothing to do with you getting put back into 
diapers. So don't give me any crap about that. As for the school 
finding, you should have figured that was going to happen sooner or 
later and frankly I could care less about the hard time you're getting 
about it. As for you making my life miserable, I'd strongly advise 
against it. I'm no longer the easy target you remember. If you push me, 
I swear I will push back and neither of us want to see that happen. Now 
bugger off so I can get to class." Josh replied calmly while pushing 
aside the other boy and walked off down the hall.
	"What was that all about?" Josh was asked by one of the kids in 
his first hour class.
	"Ah, Neil was being a dick, and trying to put the blame on me 
that his parents put him back in diapers."
	"Neil wears diapers, again?" the boy asked with a laugh. Josh 
just nodded at this not realizing that the kid in question didn't know 
about this. By the end of the period, most of the school really did 
know that Neil was back in diapers. Instead of the exaggeration that 
Neil had claimed.
	The morning went by calmly. Though Josh was a bit nervous about 
what was going to happen in gym. Due to an attempted kidnapping over 
the weekend, the school had announced the day before that for the they 
would be getting basic instructions on self-defense and what to do in 
case someone tried to abduct them.
	"OK people, listen up!" Mr. Grissom called over the sounds of the 
locker room.
	"QUIET!!" He bellowed after his attempt to get the boys to quiet 
down failed. This got the desired response.
	"OK as you know the district is going to be having a special 
instructor in all the P.E. classes this week. Because of this, I have 
decided that you won't have to dress down this week. We will, though, 
be having to join classes with the girls so I don't want to hear any 
comments when you go out there. Now those of you that have already 
started to strip, go ahead and get redressed. You have five minutes to 
do so." Their teacher concluded before walking out of the room. Most of 
the boys were happy to hear about this change of events. Josh being one 
of them.
	"I hope the guy that they have us practicing on has enough 
padding on." Josh commented to his brother as they started to climb 
back in to their regular clothes.
	"They probably do. Just try not to do to much damage if they 
don't." John replied with a chuckle before walking off. Josh started 
laughing as John walked off because he had gotten a look of Rico decked 
out in his gym clothes.
	"What's so funny, Kelly?!" Rico said with annoyance.
	"Oh, nothing." Josh replied with a strangled laugh at seeing how 
much the diapers Rico had on puffed out his shorts. Josh was surprised 
that John hadn't split the seat out of them yet on seeing how tight 
they were.
	"Well you better watch your back." Rico threatened.
	"I'll be sure to keep that in mind. Though you better remember 
what I told you a few weeks ago about my not holding back next time." 
came the matter-of-fact reply. John turned a bit white at this 
remembering how easily the smaller boy tossed him around in front of 
his parents.
	"TWEEETT!!" The whistle shrilled loudly.
	"OK, hold It!" Officer Paulson called out.
	"Do you want to end up on a flier, Mr. Kelly? Because that's 
what's going to happen if you put up that weak of fight if someone 
tries to kidnap you."
	"I'm sorry. I'm just trying to avoid injuring him." Josh stated 
plainly pointing to the other officer.
	"Son, as I explained at the beginning of the class, Officer James 
has enough padding on to prevent any injury to himself. Now when I blow 
the whistle again, I don't want you to hold anything back and to act 
like this is the real thing." Josh was told sternly.
	"But..."
	"I mean it."
	"Fine." Josh replied glumly.
	"I'm really sorry about this, and hope you don't take it 
personally." Josh told the officer sadly as they took their places on 
the mat.
	Three seconds after the whistle sounded, the match end with the 
officer laying dazed at Josh's feet.
	"Jesus, kid, what did you do?" Paulson asked over the stunned 
silence as he ran up to his partner.
	"I tried to tell you. I've been taking Martial Arts classes for 
several years."
	"I know you did. But you couldn't be more than a Orange or Brown 
Belt." Paulson told Josh as he took the helmet off his partner and 
found that he was starting to come around.
	"Actually, I just received my 2nd degree Black Belt over the 
summer." Josh said sheepishly. Paulson just looked up in astonishment 
and Rico wet himself in shock on hearing this realizing that he could 
have been seriously hurt in the couple of altercations he had with 
Josh.
	"OK. You can take your seat then." Josh Nodded at this and headed 
towards the bleachers.
	"It's OK, Josh. He wasn't listening to what you were telling him. 
And I could tell that you were still holding back," John whispered to 
his brother, having just gotten his first degree Black Belt that 
spring.
	"I know I was. I didn't want to take any chances of really 
hurting him." Josh whispered back as the next person took their place 
on the mat. An hour later, Officer Paulson blew his whistle to get 
everyone's attention.
	"OK. Your basic knowledge of defense isn't bad. We'll be working 
the rest of the week to try and define what you already know." The 
class was told as the final bell of the day rang.
	"Mr. Kelly, a moment of your time if you please?" Josh was asked 
as he started over to where his book bag was.
	"Yeah?"
	"Why didn't you tell us what level of belt you had?" Paulson 
asked.
	"You never asked what belt we had. You just wanted to know if we 
had any self-defense training." As much as he wanted to, Officer 
Paulson knew that he couldn't say anything because Josh was right.
	"Good point. OK, I'm asking now then, aside from the martial arts 
training you've had is there any other training that you've received 
that I should know about for this class."
	"Well, I've also gotten some training in hand-to-hand combat from 
my uncle." Josh replied.
	"OK. Would you be interested in helping teach the class some of 
what you know?"
	"Sure, I'm not sure how much some of them will be willing to 
listen to me but I'm willing to do what I can to help."
	"Good, I'll get things set up with your gym teacher and I'll see 
you on Thursday." Josh nodded at this, grabbed his bags, and hustled 
down the hall to try and catch up with David and Caleb.
	He was surprised to see them standing by their bikes waiting for 
them.
	"I didn't think you guys were going to wait."
	"Well it's not like we had any thing that we had to get to fast 
today." David said.
	"If you say so." Josh replied with a smile.
	"Besides, he wanted to know what the officer wanted to talk to 
you about." Caleb piped in with a smile towards his brother.
	"He just wanted to know if I'd be interested in helping out with 
the class on Thursday." Josh told them with a shrug.
	"That's cool. Just do me a favor and don't choose me to help with 
any demonstration." David said with mock seriousness. This got all 
three boys laughing.
	"Nah, I wouldn't do that to you. I like you. Now Rico would be a 
different story." Josh told them with a chuckle of his own as the boys 
got on their bikes.
	"Mom, I'm Home!" Josh called out to let his mom know he was home.
	"How was school?" Josh was asked as his mom gave him a welcome 
home kiss.
	"Not bad. I had a slight run-in with Neil again." Josh told her 
as he took off his backpack and headed into the kitchen for a snack.
	"And what caused that?"
	"He blames me for his parents placing him back into diapers for 
how he's been acting. I guess his parents got the idea from one of 
their friends and they used it on him over the summer. Due to the 
disagreement we had a few weeks ago, his parents put him back into 
them."
	"I'm not surprised. I knew the Harrises were thinking of doing 
something like that. They called me up about it shortly after we had 
you start wearing them again before we moved here. They thought I was 
doing the same thing to you because of your accidents. If anything, I'm 
the one to blame." Josh nodded to this but didn't say anything.
	"I do have something to ask you. David asked if I was wanting to 
go out Trick-or-Treating with him and his brothers this weekend and 
then sleepover afterwards. May I?"
	"Well, I don't see a problem with you sleeping over but I think 
you should still go out with you brothers. I'll call Carol up and see 
if she might want David and his brothers to join you."
	Josh was about to argue this point when he saw the look on her 
face and decided against it.
	Over the next couple of days, Neil had pushed Josh's temper to 
the breaking point. John and His parents had done everything the could 
think of, including talking with Neil's parents though this seemed to 
just push Neil to new heights of trying to get Josh in trouble. The 
only thing that had held Josh back to this point was his promise not to 
get into trouble before Saturday and to finally give into his parents 
having him go out Trick-or-Treating the next night. Josh even felt a 
slight hint of excitement coming back like it used to for this.
	"Josh, time to get up. Grab a quick shower if you need to while I 
lay out you clothes."
	"Just five more minutes, mum." Josh mumbled from under his 
covers.
	"Not today." Mrs. Kelly laughed as she pulled the covers off her 
son and threw the glass of Ice water she had with her on him.
	"Bloody Hell that's cold!!" came the screech a few seconds later 
as Josh bolted up off his bed.
	"Watch your mouth, young man! And go jump in the shower." Josh 
was told sternly.
	"Sorry mum." Mrs. Kelly was told sheepishly. Though she did smile 
a bit at the look on her son's face, this didn't stop her from giving 
his padded rear a hard swat as he walked past.
	"You really shouldn't say things like that, Josh. You know how 
mum and dad are about us cursing." Erin laughed as she and Josh walked 
past each other in the hall.
	"Tell me about it." Josh chuckled still rubbing his butt a bit.
	Fifteen minutes later Josh was back in his room looking at the 
front of his dresser in surprise. Instead of the BDUs he had set out 
the night before, he was looking at a British Army Dress Uniform with 
all of his awards and other insignias.
	"Jesus." Josh stated softly while his eyes misted up at bit.
	"Your Uncle, mum, and I thought it would be a nice thing for you 
to have." Mr. Kelly said from behind his son causing Josh to jump a bit 
in surprise.
	"Thanks, dad." Josh said through his tears as he gave his father 
a hug.
	"You're welcome. Now hurry up and get dressed. Your mum will have 
breakfast ready in a few minutes." Mr. Kelly said while returning the 
hug. Josh just nodded at this and started to reach for one of the 
thinner day diapers he had.
	"You look stunning, Joshua." Mrs. Kelly stated proudly as her 
youngest son walked into the dining room.
	"Thanks, mum." John and Erin just sat with their mouths open as 
they saw Josh standing there.
	This was the first time Erin had seen her brother in anything 
other than BDUs and she agreed with her mom, Josh did look stunning.
	"You two might want to close your mouths before some flies decide 
to go in." Mr. Kelly laughed at the looks on his two oldest kids faces. 
John and Erin both turned a bit red at being caught staring at their 
brother.
	"Well, have a seat there." Mrs. Kelly said giving Josh a slight 
push towards the table. Josh did smile a bit himself at his brother's 
and sister's costumes. As expected, John was dressed in the shot up set 
of BDUs that Josh had seen earlier in the month. Erin's costume, 
though, threw Josh for a loop. Erin had decided to dress up like an old 
English Nanny. Though, unlike the normal uniform for this Job, Erin's 
left little to the imagination as to what her figure looked like.
	"I guess this means that Aaron is going to be dressing up like a 
toddler?" Josh asked with a smile. His point was proven a few minutes 
later when Aaron arrived wearing an extremely short and childish set of 
short-alls with a snap shoulder shirt and a Ball cap that one would 
normally see a toddler wearing. What almost caused both Josh and John 
to break out laughing, right then and there, was the fact that Aaron 
had placed several thick cloth diapers and blue colored plastic pants 
on over his normal disposable diaper. As well as having a pacifier 
clipped to the front of his short-alls.
	"Mum, may I be excused for a minute?" John and Josh asked in 
almost perfect unison. Mrs. Kelly knew why they were asking to be 
excused. While she didn't approve that they were going to laugh about 
the costume their sister's boyfriend was wearing, she did at least 
acknowledge that they were being polite enough to do it elsewhere. This 
hardly mattered since less than a minute after leaving the table both 
of them could be heard laughing quite clearly downstairs.
	"Sorry, I had something in my eye." John announced a few minutes 
later as he retook his seat red faced with tears still running down his 
face.
	"Me, too." Josh mentioned with his face in the same condition.
	"I'm glad you guys like the costume." Aaron said with his own 
smile as both Josh and Josh turned red in embarrassment at getting 
caught.
	Erin and Aaron got ready to leave for school a few minutes later. 
Seeing the two standing together was enough to put all of the remaining 
Kelly's into laughter.
	"Hold up, you two." Mrs. Kelly called out while grabbing the 
camera that she had near by.
	"MUM." came the exasperated sigh as Erin saw what her mother was 
planning on doing. Seeing a chance to have some real fun with his 
girlfriend, Aaron put his hands up like he was wanting to be picked up, 
and when Erin kneeled down to do so, Aaron threw his arms around her 
neck and hoped into her arms. Planting a kiss on her cheek as he did 
so. Mrs. Kelly managed to snap the photo just as the kiss landed. For, 
John, Josh, and their Father this was the last straw as all three burst 
into laughter. The only thing that kept Erin from falling over when her 
boyfriend did this was the fact that he was slightly smaller in size 
than Josh was.
	"You better hurry, boys, so you don't miss your bus." Mrs. Kelly 
called about Thirty minutes later.
	"OK, mum. Have a good day." Josh called as he grabbed his 
backpack and walked out the front door.
	"John try to keep an eye on your brother. I don't want anything 
going on today now that he's finally loosened up about tomorrow night."
	"Don't worry, mum. I doubt anything will happen. But I'll keep an 
eye out and have our group do the same." John added quickly to stall 
his mother from giving him any kind of lecture and hurried out the 
door. He made it to the bus stop just as the bus pulled up.
	Josh soon got used to all the stares he was getting once school 
started.
	"Sorry I'm late, sir." Josh stated as he walked into his English 
class a few minutes after the bell rang and handed his teacher a pass 
from the nurse.
	"That's OK. We were just getting started." Mr. Allison stated 
with slight awe. While he knew about what Josh had written about in 
their first paper for the class and the following talk he had with 
Josh's mother, it was something else entirely to see the fact of it 
standing in front of you. Being a bit of a Military buff himself, Mr. 
Allison recognized everything on Josh's uniform.
	"OK, now that everyone is here and ready to go, I'd like you to 
take out the assignment you had due today and pass them forward and we 
can continue on with our discussion on how Halloween has influenced 
some of the greatest literary works over the years." The class was told 
as they handed in their worksheets from the previous class. While Josh 
would be one of the first to acknowledge that English was never one of 
his best subjects, he did have to admit that having a teacher that made 
the class interesting made all the difference.
	The rest of the morning went quickly and Josh soon found him 
entering the lunchroom.
	"I'll expect the Hamilton when we get home." Josh laughed as he 
joined his brother and friends.
	"Oh shut up." John shot back. Which just got Josh smiling even 
wider.
	"What are you talking about?" One of the other boys asked not 
having seen the make-up job john had been wearing this morning.
	"I had a bet with John that by lunch time the Make-up job he had 
on this morning would be gone." Josh answered smugly.
	"By the way, John, how long did you manage to get to keep it?"
	"Ms. Grady set me up during third hour to remove it. She said it 
was causing to much of a distraction to the class."
	"I'll bet it was more like looking at it was going to make her 
ill." DJ Laughed. Having seen the look on the teacher in question face.
	"Yeah, that too." John added with a smile of his own.
	"I guess this will teach me to make bets like this with you in 
the future." John told his brother a second later.
	"Oh I wouldn't mind you keeping up with it. I can always use the 
extra money." Everyone at the table laughed at this. Soon everyone was 
talking about what their plans for the next evening was.
	"I told you about watching your back." Josh heard Neil say just 
before he was slammed roughly against a locker. This, of course, lit 
the almost non-existent fuse on Josh's temper.
	"I've had enough of your crap, Neil. You don't like the fact that 
your parents put you back in diapers, fine! I don't really like needing 
to wear them, either. But unlike you, I don't have a choice. You want 
to get your parents to let you out of them, then stop acting like a 
damned spoiled brat, and fucking grow up!!" Josh yelled, while pushing 
Neil out of the way. Before Josh got more than a few steps, he felt 
himself being lifted off the ground and was slammed bodily into the 
nearest locker. Slamming his head back as hard as he could, Josh 
connected with Neil's mouth and felt something give in the process. 
After spitting the blood out of his mouth, Josh removed his uniform 
jacket and got ready for Neil's next move. Josh was caught off guard 
when a couple of students coming down the hall yelled that there was a 
fight going on. This had the effect of clearing out several of the 
nearby classes. Before any of the teachers could get close enough to 
break up the fight Josh, and Neil managed to land a couple of more 
punches on each other.
	John, having been in one of the classrooms, came running out into 
the and saw that Josh was on of the fighters and that he was about to 
pull a coup de' grace.
	"STAND DOWN JOSH!" John yelled. Hoping to break through the rage 
that his brother seemed to be in the midst of. Seeing that this didn't 
work, John tried something else.
	"AT EASE, MAJOR!!!" John boomed at the top of his lungs. This 
caused numerous people near him to jump, including several teachers. 
For his part, Josh hadn't even heard his brother yell the first time, 
but the second yell managed to get through to him. Josh seemed more 
than a little shocked to see that he had one hand around Neil's throat 
while he had the other drawn back for a punch. Thinking that this would 
be a great time to finally end all the crap he was getting, Josh 
followed through with the punch. Though instead of connecting with 
Neil's face the fist hit the locker just to the left side of it. 
Leaving a very noticeable dent in it.
	"Next time, I won't miss." Josh whispered low enough so that only 
Neil could hear him. Without another word, Josh picked up his jacket 
and back pack and walked off. Leaving behind a very stunned group of 
onlookers.
	"Good Lord. What happened to you?" The nurse exclaimed when Josh 
walked through the door sporting a split lip, partly swollen shut right 
eye and very swollen left hand.
	"I had a bit of a disagreement with a locker." Josh mumbled as he 
sat down to let the nurse look at him. Not a minute later John came 
running into the nurse's office to see how his brother was doing.
	"Jeez! Josh! I 'ough you 'ere going to Kill 'im!!" John yelled 
with such a thick accent that only Josh could understand.
	"I wanted to," Josh stated bluntly in Latin so his brother would 
understand that he didn't want the others in the room to understand 
what they were saying. Catching his brother's hint, John, too, switched 
over to Latin and they spent the next couple of minutes doing this 
until Mr. Krueger and Mr. Hamilton walked into the room.
	"You mind telling us what was going on a few minutes ago?!" Mr. 
Krueger asked with barely contained fury.
	"I was walking down the hall when Neil attacked me." Josh said 
with a wince of pain as the nurse moved his hand a bit. After taking a 
deep breath to steady himself, Josh explained everything that had been 
going on over the last week.
	"And why didn't you let someone know about this?"
	"Most of the incidents happened off school grounds. Of the few 
that did happen here, I informed either Mr. Hamilton or Mrs. Carlson." 
Josh said mentioning the name of the other school disciplinarian.
	"I also let them know of what was happening off grounds so they 
could see that they were just isolated incidents. And before you ask, I 
don't know if any one, aside from Keith Johnson, saw anything and Keith 
only saw the first incident and that happened a week ago."
	"Alright. I'll need to talk to the nurse for a moment, and get 
back to you on how we're going to handle this." As Mr. Krueger finished 
this, Neil was escorted into the room and the second he saw Josh, he 
broke away from the people helping him and ran right for Josh his arms 
out like he was wanting to go for the smaller boy's throat. Before 
anyone could move, Josh stood up and landed a devastating snap kick to 
the side of Neil's head and stopped him cold.
	"Sorry about that." Josh mumbled around his swollen lip as he sat 
back down. After making sure that Neil was still breathing, the nurse 
rushed off to call for an ambulance.
	While this was going on, Officers Paulson and James rushed into 
the office. Seeing how crowded it was getting, Mr. Krueger ordered 
everyone, but Josh and John out into the main office. Josh then started 
telling the officers what had happened in the hall and added that Neil 
had tried to attack him again when he was brought into the office and 
he was only protecting himself.
	Neil came to about this time and tried going after Josh again 
this time he was intercepted by the two police offices and quickly hand 
cuffed and placed in another room till the ambulance got there.
	Mrs. Kelly was frantic when she got the call at work that Josh 
had been injured in a fight and that he would need someone to escort 
him to the hospital. Fearing the worst, She took off with almost no 
explanation to her manager. She managed to get there Just as Neil was 
being loaded into the waiting ambulance.
	"Josh, God I was so worried." his mom exclaimed while pulling him 
into a hug not seeing his injured hand. People in the office were able 
to hear Josh's yell of pain Through two closed doors and down the hall. 
For his part, it was all Josh could do to keep from passing out from 
the pain. A couple of minutes later a second ambulance arrived for 
Josh. While he wasn't injured that badly, Mr. Krueger explained that 
district policy required this. After finding out which hospital Josh 
was being taken to, Mrs. Kelly signed John out of school for the rest 
of the day and set off after the ambulance that was carrying her other 
son.

Chapter 70

	As the Josh was wheeled into a treatment room, he could still 
hear Neil ranting.
	"Hey Dan, long time no see." Josh chuckled as his future brother-
in-law walked into the room to take Josh's vital and hand him an ice 
pack for his now swollen closed eye.
	"I have to say Josh, you and your brother are almost as bad as 
mine are when it comes to getting injured."
	"Tell me about it. This time it wasn't my fault. I was only 
protecting myself," came the mumbled explanation.
	"So I've heard. The doctor should be in to look at your hand in a 
minute." Josh was told as his mom and brother walked into the room.
	"I've already heard part of what happened from your brother. Why 
don't you tell me the rest of the story." Josh was told as his mother 
took a seat and they waited for the doctor to show up.
	"There isn't much to tell. Neil has been pushing me all week and 
for some reason or another he attacked me as I was heading to my World 
History class. I defended myself," came the tired story.
	"John said it looked like you were going to hit Neil in such a 
way as to seriously injure or kill him. Is this true?" Josh gave his 
brother a withering look on hearing this but nodded to his mom that it 
was true.
	"I was about to when John's yelling got through to me. I was so 
juiced up at that point I needed to let it out so I hit the locker next 
to Neil's head instead, and did this in the process." Josh told them 
hold up his swollen hand.
	About this time, the doctor came in and started to examine Josh's 
eye, lip and hand. After a few minutes he turned to Josh's mom and told 
her the news.
	"He has a couple of loose teeth to go along with the split lip of 
his but this shouldn't be much of a concern since they are some of his 
intermediate teeth. You'll want to have your dentist look check it out 
just to be sure. The eye seems to look a good deal worse than it 
actually is. The swelling should go in a couple of days and the 
coloration around it a few days after that. I'd just have him keep and 
ice pack on it as often as possible. If once the swelling goes down he 
complains of any vision problems then it would be best to have looked 
at by an eye doctor as quickly as possible, but I don't feel that there 
is anything to worry about at this point. The hand however is a 
different matter. I'll need to take some X-rays to be certain but it 
feels like your son has managed to either fracture or break two of his 
knuckles along with all of the long bones in his hand. If they are 
indeed broken, surgery may be needed depending on how the bones are 
broken. And because of some of the bruises that he has, I'll also be 
having some chest shots be taken to make sure no ribs are broken. 
Someone will be by in a few minutes to take him to have the pictures 
taken and once I see the film and get a consult we can go from there." 
The doctor stated as he stripped off the gloves he had on. Mrs. Kelly 
nodded at this.
Josh just slumped back against the bed he was on when he heard this and 
groaned in both pain and frustration.
	"I'm really sorry about all this, mom. I did try to walk away 
first." Josh sobbed. Feeling guilty about having to break the promise 
he had made to stay out of trouble.
	"I know you did, honey."
	"Look on the bright side bro." John said with a chuckle.
	"There's a bright side to this?"
	"Sure. You could have messed up and used your right hand to hit 
the locker with." Josh just shrugged at this but admitted to himself 
that his brother did have a point.
	"Uh mom, I know this might be the wrong time to ask, but did you 
happen to bring any clean diapers with you? The one I have on now feels 
like it's about to burst." Josh told them in a child like voice. The 
absurdity of the comment broke the tension that Mrs. Kelly had been 
feeling since she had gotten the call and started to laugh.
	"Sorry Josh, I don't have any with me. Let me check with Dan and 
see if we could borrow one." Josh was told as his mother left the room.
	Dan came into the room just as Mrs. Kelly was taping Josh's 
diaper closed.
	"I've come to take Josh to get his hand X-rayed." the Kellys were 
told as Josh had his pants pulled back up.
	"Mum, would you mind helping me off with my shirt?" Mrs. Kelly 
was asked as Josh started to unbutton his shirt.
	"Why?"
	"I figure the doctor was going to be putting a cast on my hand 
and this way I don't have to worry about the shirt getting ruined." 
Seeing the logic in her son's request Mrs. Kelly and Dan helped Josh 
pull his shirt off.
	"I have to say, Josh, you have really put on some muscle since 
the last time I saw you." Dan said as he had Josh sit in the wheelchair 
he was pushing. Josh nodded to this as he sat down. Two minutes later 
Josh was cooling his heels outside on of the X-ray rooms waiting for 
his turn. Thirty minutes later, he got it.
	"OK, folks, I have some good news and bad news; which would you 
like first?" Their doctor asked forty-five minutes later.
	"Let's have the bad news first." Josh's mom answered with a sigh.
	"My original thought was correct. Josh has indeed managed to 
fracture his middle two knuckles and break all of the long bones in his 
hand."
	"I see and what's the good news?" Mrs. Kelly asked a bit coldly.
	"All the breaks are clean and it doesn't look like surgery will 
be needed to set them. Also, none of his ribs appear to be broken. If 
you all would like to follow me." They were told as the doctor started 
to push Josh's wheelchair down the hall.
	"This will help deaden the pain some." Josh was told as the 
doctor injected the back of his hand with a moderate dose of Novocain. 
Josh winced a bit as the needle bit into his hand but he didn't say 
anything. Another forty-five minutes later everything was over and Josh 
John, and their mom was headed home.
	"Josh, when we get home I'd like you to go to your room and do 
whatever homework that you might have. If you don't have any, then just 
read a book or something till I can talk to your father about and 
figure out how we're going to handle this once we find out what's going 
on with Neil." Realizing that it would be useless to argue about this, 
Josh just nodded that he understood. John wasn't so understanding.
	"Mum, you heard that Josh was just defending himself. Why punish 
him for that?" John said heatedly.
	"We aren't punishing him as such. I need some time alone to talk 
with your father about this and I'm guessing that Josh was probably 
going to want some time to himself anyway to think over what happened 
anyway. And if you say anything else, you will be grounded and we'll 
just call a babysitter for you tomorrow night." John was told before he 
could say another word.
	"Josh, it's time for dinner." Erin announced after knocking on 
his bedroom door and getting the OK to enter.
	"Thanks Erin." Josh replied as he put down the book he had been 
reading and stood up.
	"How's the diaper doing?" His sister asked after getting a whiff 
of stale pee.
	"It's a bit damp but I'll be ok till bed time."
	"OK. Don't take this the wrong way, but if the weather is nice 
enough for it, I would strongly suggest you air out your room tomorrow 
. It's really starting to smell a bit ripe."
	"I don't smell anything, but I'll take your word for it." Josh 
said before his sister could start in on him about it. Besides, he knew 
that his sister was probably right about the smell.
	"Josh, you mother told me what happened today, and I have to say 
that I'm very disappointed that you didn't try to walk away." Josh's 
dad said by way for greeting when his youngest son sat down.
	"I did try to walk away dad, and got body slammed into a locker 
for my trouble." Josh told his dad bluntly.
	"What do you mean?"
	"I mean, that as I was walking away, Neil picked me up from 
behind and slammed me bodily into a locker." Before another word could 
be said Mrs. Kelly walked into the room having just finished a phone 
call.
	"You can stop badgering the boy Arthur. That was Neil's father on 
the phone. It seems that Neil was having a psychotic episode cause by 
an allergic reaction to some medication he was on. He wasn't at fault 
for what happened today. And the Harris's have asked us to take that 
into account before we decide to press charges against him for assault. 
I told them that we would need to talk about it." After a few minutes 
silence, while dinner was being dished out, Josh spoke up.
	"You mean, mum, that Neil attacked me because he was having a bad 
reaction to some meds he was taking? And that he had no idea what he 
was doing?"
	"That's correct."
	"How does Neil feel about what has happened?"
	"His father didn't say, but seeing how they still have Neil under 
sedation I'm not sure if he even knows what happened yet. Why?" Mrs. 
Kelly asked curious about what Josh was getting at.
	"Well, if once Neil is OK and he shows remorse over what 
happened, would you and dad be willing to let the matter drop if he 
gives a sincere apology? I don't think it would be right to punish him 
for something that happened when he wasn't in his right mind and he 
truly sorry for what he had done. I mean he was a bit of a bully at 
Hallow Brook, but I can never remember him acting like he has towards 
me since he moved here. You did say that his parents placed him back 
into diapers because of some medication he was taking right and that 
they talked to you about what brand would be the best to use once the 
GNs he had been using were no longer enough to handle things." Mrs. 
Kelly just nodded her answer. It was clear to Josh that everyone at the 
table were shocked at his request. He could tell though that his 
parents were honestly considering his request. Whether they actually 
followed through with it was a different matter.
	"Josh, it's time for bed. Just a few more minutes mum, please?"
	"I've already given you more time than I planned. Now up to bed 
with you." Mrs. Kelly said with a laugh as she tried to give her 
youngest son a playful slap on his diapered rear.
	"Ha, missed me." came the laughed reply as Josh jumped out of the 
way before it could land.
	"Yes, but I don't plan to." His father announced as he landed a 
swat of his own before Josh could move out of the way. With out 
thinking, Mr. Kelly then picked Josh up and tossed him over his 
shoulder. Josh grunted in pain as his bruised ribs made contact with 
his dad's shoulder.
	"Sorry about that." Came to apology as Josh was carried up to his 
room and dropped unceremoniously onto his changing table. Before Josh 
could do a thing, his dad had pulled the plastic pants Josh was wearing 
almost to his ankles. Since his dad changed him so rarely, Josh just 
relaxed and let him do all the work.
	"I want to say that I'm sorry about biting your head off at 
dinner. I should have known you'd try to walk away from the fight 
first." Josh was told as his dad started to pull back on the Velcro 
tabs that were holding his pee soaked diaper on.
	"It's OK dad, I know that it was more from stress than anything 
else."
	"Even so, I should have thought it through more carefully." his 
father added while pulling the front of the diaper down. Mr. Kelly was 
a bit shocked to see how much his son had grown drown there since the 
last time he had changed him.
	"He's going to make some girl very happy." Mr. Kelly though to 
himself with a grin as he took a wipe and started cleaning that area. 
After wiping the area clean, Josh's dad turned and headed to Josh's 
closet to pull out some of his son's night diapers. As he turned around 
he caught Josh giving himself a couple of strokes.
	"I can give you a few minutes alone if you'd like." Josh turned a 
bright crimson when he realized that he had been caught playing with 
himself.
	"Er.. that's ok. I'm fine."
	"OK." Josh was told simply as his father had him lift up so he 
could get the diapers under his butt. Once the powder and lotion were 
applied, the thick diapers were pulled up between Josh's legs and 
securely fastened.
	"You're all set." Josh was told as his father gave his freshly 
diapered butt a light slap once the new plastic pants were pulled up 
and all the diapers were secured inside them.
	"Thanks dad." Josh told his dad with a laugh when he saw that his 
dad had used the Harry Potter plastic pants that he had gotten for his 
last birthday.
	"You have a long morning tomorrow so I want you to go right to 
sleep." his dad told him as Josh was tucked into bed and given his 
teddy bear.
	"Josh, you have five minutes to get down here, or I'm coming up 
after you!" Erin yelled from the bottom of the stairs.
	"You don't need to yell, Erin. I'm standing right behind you." 
Josh said simply, but taking great enjoyment on seeing his sister jump 
out of her skin at this since she didn't know he was behind her.
	"Damn it, Thumper! Will you stop doing that!" Josh was told 
sharply as his sister tried to get her breathing under control.
	"I'll think about it." Erin was told sweetly as Josh waddled off 
into the kitchen for breakfast.
	"You'll need to get dressed quickly after eating, Josh. Fran 
wants us over at her office in about Ninety minutes. And Make sure you 
wear some of your thinner disposables. I'm not sure what they have 
planned for this shoot and I don't want to take a chance that your 
thicker ones would mess things up."
	"I'll keep that in mind, mom," came the slightly nervous reply.
	Just over an hour later Josh and his mom was walking into Mrs. 
Rico's office. Josh wasn't to surprised to see both John and Alex there 
already. Seeing the Kelly's walk in Mrs. Rico got up to greet them and 
after a few minutes of chatting she turned to Alex.
	"Alex, why don't you and John take Josh down and show him where 
the shoot is going to take place. His mom and I have some things to 
discuss.
	"OK mom. C'mon Johnny." Alex said with an evil grin on his face 
as he held out his hand for John to take. Josh barely managed to 
suppress the laughter he felt on seeing this.
	Over the next fifteen minutes, Josh was shown the sets, and some 
of the clothes that he would be modeling. Josh found himself pleasantly 
surprised at how much they looked like regular clothes and only with a 
very close look could a person tell that they were designed to 
accommodate diaper changes.
	"OK Josh, now that you've seen what you'll be modeling, this is 
your last chance to back out." Mrs. Kelly told her son after joining 
back up with him.
	"That's OK mum, I'll still do it. The clothes don't seem any 
worse that what I had done for the Thickies ads." Mrs. Kelly nodded and 
turned back to Mrs. Rico.
	"Well it's settled, Fran. He's all yours." Mrs. Kelly said and 
stepped back to watch.
	Several hours later, Josh and his mom arrived back home with Josh 
hauling in an almost entirely new wardrobe.
	"Hey mom, why does Josh always get the new clothes around here?" 
John mockingly complained as he saw the bags his brother was carrying 
in with him.
	"Don't start that, John." Came the warning as Mrs. Kelly walked 
past them.
	"What was all that about?"
	"Mom started getting "Stage-mom" syndrome and the photographer 
asked her to leave the area. Besides, I don't think she cared to much 
for some of the things they had me modeling.
	"What do you mean? I figured they'd just be having you do typical 
Fall and Winter stuff."
	"Well, they were but I was also asked to model some of the Summer 
line as well. I guess mom thought that some of the stuff for the summer 
was a bit revealing." Josh said with a smile. The smile got even bigger 
when he saw John's confused look.
	"Follow me and I'll show you what I mean." With this the boys 
headed upstairs so Josh could show his brother what he meant.
	"Damn, Josh. It's a good thing you're my brother and don't turn 
me on or I would be seriously boned right now. Though I do see why mum 
would think those are a bit revealing." John chuckled when Josh got 
into the Speedos that he had modeled.
	"The best thing with these is the fact that these come with a 
liner that is so absorbent that they rival the Dipees that we wear at 
times and even when completely soaked you can't tell they have a liner 
in them. These are designed strictly for kids and teens that wet only. 
They also have a style that is like a normal swim diaper."
	"Cool. How did they handle your black-eye, scars, and the cast on 
your hand."
	"They said they planned on leaving the scar on my face alone 
since you can barely see it anyway unless I'm mad or something. 
Everything else they plan on touching out with a computer."
	"Cool. Well, you better got out of those things before mom sees 
you in them." John said pointing towards Josh's Speedos.
	"Not to mention that they're about maxed out."
	"You mean you've wet them?"
	"Yeah, an couple of times. That's what I mean about you not even 
being able to tell when they're wet." Josh said with a grin.
	"Well, go get changed and climb into some other clothes." About 
that time Mrs. Kelly walked into the room.
	"I guess I shouldn't be surprised that you showed John some of 
the things you got today. I just want to tell you I'm sorry if I 
embarrassed you earlier. I just kind of lost my head."
	"That's Ok mum, I know you didn't mean anything by it." Josh told 
his mom while giving her a hug.
	"After you change, climb in to bed for a short nap so you'll be 
able to keep up with everyone tonight. The same goes for you John." 
Mrs. Kelly told her boys while giving Josh a slight nudge to send him 
on his way.
