The Orphans Steve Sunday, nearing his 35th birthday, went into the local bookstore/cybercafe. Steve, the CEO of Sunday Industries, a business involved in model railroad supplies, camping equipment, computer hardware and software, plastics, food and furniture. "Just another boring night," he thought to himself. Suddenly, the owner of a nearby newsstand/candy store, yelled out, "Stop you little monsters!" Steve turned around and saw two kids running down the street with an older guy chasing after them. Steve went out of the door and watch the boys turn a corner. Steve started chasing after them. Since he was a track star in college and still runs marathons he quickly caught up with the older man. The man said, "Those brats did it to me again!" Steve said, "What did they do?" Steve thought he knew where they went, since he saw some pigeons flying away from an alley. The man said, "They stole some Twinkies, a bagful of candy and ice cream. They come in weekly and steal food from me." The guy mumbled something. Steve said, "Let me see what is going on. How much did they stole from you?" The man said, "In the past year, about $2500." Steve said, "Here you go. I might see what is going on with them. Do you know anything about them?" He gave the man a check. The man said, "Steve Sunday? You want to pay for two has been kids stealing from a local guy." Steve said, "I am a volunteer for BIG BROTHERS, my SUNDAY FOUNDATION helps kids and local businesses. Yes, I think if they been on the streets stealing for a year they must be orphans. Do you know anything about them?" The man said, "Their names are Lyron and Jordan. If they don't stop stealing, I might get the police." Steve walked away after saying, "Lets me help them before the police." He walked down the street to the alley. Steve looked down the alley and saw a tent. He called out, "Lyron? Jordan?" Coming from the tent was, "Lyron, the police are here! they'll send us back to our foster home!" Another voice said, "Jordan, I won't have them take us back there. The LeLong's were hateful to us. Their kids were never punished for anything. Never again." Steve came up to the tent. "I'm not the police," Steve said. "I would like to talk to you." Lyron came out of the tent. He looked like he hadn't washed in about a month. He had a scared look on his face. "Yea?" he said trying to sound tough. Steve, who majored in Child psy, knew what to say. He got them to trust him and soon they took down the tent and walked to Steve's car. When they got to Steve's house, they never saw a house like it. It wasn't a mansion, but to Lyron and Jordan, who spent their short (Lyron 10, Jordan 8) lives in an apartment building, then foster homes each one worse then the other, and for the past 6 months in a tent, it was one. Lyron said, "This is yours?" "Yes, it is mine," Steve said. "For tonight, it is yours, too. Are you guys hungry?" They both were hungry, so Steve decided to give them dinner, but they'd have to take a bath first. Steve showed them to their room and to the bath they can use. Lyron said, "Thanks. Why is there bunk beds in here? Do you have kids?" Steve said, "Four months ago, I lost my wife, my daughters and my two boys in a plane crash. They were my world. They loved their bedroom." Lyron and Jordan looked at each other. On the dresser was a picture of Aaron and Adam, Lyron and Jordan said, "They look like nice kids." Steve said, "I do miss them." While Steve was fixing dinner, he hit the intercom button and heard Jordan saying, "I hope we won't wet his kid's bed. I don't think I'll go to sleep. I don't want him to get mad at us." Ly said, "I know. I hope he won't make front of us." Steve thought, "I won't" Part 2 While the dinner were cooking, Steve went to the bathroom where Ly and Jordan were bathing. "Hey, Ly and Jordy," he said. "I just want you to know that you didn't go down the drain." "Steve, we didn't," Ly said. "Okay," Steve said, "I'll meet you in your bedroom." He left the bathroom door and went into his son's bedroom. He went into the closet and looked into the lockers - he took out two diapers. Ly and Jordan came into the bedroom - their bedroom? - and saw Steve on the bed. Ly said, "We can get dressed. Got some underwear for us?" Steve said, "I doubt you can fit in my sons' underwear, so I want to put you in diapers. I overheard you talking. My boys were bedwetters, so they were dressed in diapers. I won't make fun of you guys. Tomorrow, we can go shopping for some new clothes for you." Ly said, "I wish you were our foster dad, Steve. You are nice. What did you do with your kids?" Ly laid down on the bed. Steve, putting on Ly's diapers, said, "We camp, boat, swim, bike, run our slot cars and train set, cook, hike, travel and other things." Ly said, "Think you could take us camping and boating? We never went on a boat or camped." Jordan laid on the bed and let Steve diaper him. Jordan said, "Are you mad at us? I mean if we wet, will you be mad?" Ly said, "Steve, we were spanked when we wet our bed, which was everyday at the LeLongs. We got sick so we decided to run away from them and the last 6 months, we camped around the city." Steve said, "I won't spank you guys for wetting. I never spanked my boys for wetting. Sometimes, they loved wearing their diapers during the day, too." Jordan said, "They did? Did you mind?" Steve said, "Nope, they were happier in their diapers then in their underwear. My wife enjoyed them in diapers, too. Come on, lets eat." He started going out of the bedroom. Jordan looked at the picture of Aaron and Adam, then said, "Wish we could have met them. I wish Steve was our dad. He is nice." Ly said, "He is nice." When Ly and Jordan hit the kitchen, the table was set. Steve just made hamburgers and they were glad. They were talking about dinner at LeLong's. Steve was shocked when Ly said, "We only had the table scraps. They never liked us. When we were punished, we never had food." Steve said, "You will never have table scraps, you guys. Would you like to stay here?" They wanted to stay. Steve was going to show them the house tomorrow. After dinner, they went and watched tv. In an hour, Ly and Jordan were asleep. Steve carried them upstairs and put them in the bed. "Night guys," Steve said. Steve came downstairs and dialed up the CFSD (Children & Family Service Department) head. He knew her since college. Part 3 While Ly and Jordan were asleep, Steve was talking to LeeAnne Balfour, who was the head of CFSD. "Steve," she said,"The LeLongs don't want them back. They said that Ly and Jordan were hateful." "LeeAnne," Steve said, "I doubt they are hateful. Anyway, could I be their foster dad?" After an half hour, LeeAnne gave him permission to be their foster dad and LeeAnne will help Steve adopt them - if he wants them. When Ly and Jordan woke up, they were both in wet diapers. Steve came in and said, "Hi boys. Did you sleep nicely?" He started unpinnng Ly's diaper. Ly said, "I had a nice sleep. I wish we could have you as a dad." Steve said, "Want to?" Ly said, "You mean we could STAY here? I woke up in a dry bed for the first time ever." Jordan said, "Yes, I'd like you to be our dad. I'm wet." Steve said, "Before I get you as my sons, here are some rules." He started telling them what they are going to do. After about ten rules, he said, "Any questions?" Ly said, "Diapers all the time, Ste- er dad?" Steve said, "Yes, you guys. You had a tough life so I want you to enjoy being babied." Jordan said, "Daddy, but we can be a big kid, too? Even if we wear our diapers?" Steve said, "Yes, you can be a big kid. I want you to be happy with me." Ly said, "We can go on the computer, too?" Steve said, "Yes. I'll show you a nice site for bedwetting kids and a nice story site for TB's and AB's." Ly said, "TB's and AB's, Dad?" Steve finished diapering them and took them to the computer room. Steve got online and showed them 'Deeker's Diaper Page' and '5 Million Friends' webpages. Steve said, "TB's are Teen Babies and AB's are Adult Babies." Steve showed Ly and Jordan another site 'SundaysBabies' and Ly and Jordan said, "Is that Aaron and Adam in cribs?" Steve said, "Yes, it was taken about six months ago. It was taken at our cottage." Ly said, "Neat, how old were they?" "Adam and Aaron were 10," Steve said. "Today would be their birthday." Little did Steve know, but Steve's wife, Aaron, Adam and his daughters didn't die in a plane crash. They missed their flight, so Karen decided to go into hiding. Karen worked for a construction firm, but she discovered that the firm was laundering money. Karen loved Steve, but she didn't want Steve to get hurt. Karen was on the way to the store, when her brakes failed. Part 4 When the police went to the accident scene, Kathy was dead. They took the information from the car, and went to the home to find the next of kin of Kathy Sonntag. At the house, they found Aaron and Adam along with Becca and Naomi, to tell them that their mom was dead. Their Uncle Ken, Kathy's brother, was their guardian for a few months. Steve took Ly and Jordan out to buy some new clothes. Steve bought them 3 pairs of jeans, shirts, pants and jackets. He also bought them some baby style clothes. He then took them to the toy store and then to Burger King. After lunch, they went to a movie. At the movie, Ly whispered to Steve, "Dad, I have to go to the bathroom." Steve said,"Just use your diaper, Ly. I'll change you when we get home." Steve hugged his 'son'. Ly peed into his diaper and continued to watch the movie. when the movie was over, Steve took them to a park and bought them a large soda. Jordan told Steve that he needs to go to the bathroom, but Steve said, "Just use your diaper, Jordan. I'll change you at home." Jordan said, "Dad, I need to poop. I already wet my diapers." Steve said, "Jordy, do it. Messing is okay. I don't want you to get constipated." Jordan said, "Okay, dad. I thought you'd be mad. Dad, what are you going to do with us for school? When we ran away, we missed school." Steve said, "Want to be home-schooled? I have a sister who was a teacher. She is a full-time mom now. You can meet your cousins. They are 8, 7 and 5 and their mom teach them. I won't get mad for messing your diapers." Jordan said, "Really, dad? Do they wear diapers?" Steve said, "Orion wears diapers at night and sometimes in the day. He is 8 years old. His sister, Amber, who is 7, wears them at night. Ion, who is 5, wears them all the time." After an hour in the park, it was time to go home. When they got home, Steve changed their diapers and let them wear just them. He ordered a pizza and they waited for it. In twenty five minutes, the pizza was at the door. Steve got the pizza and they started eating. After dessert of ice cream, Steve put them in footed pjs - Ly in a yellow one, Jordan in a purple one. Soon they were fast asleep. After a week, Steve had a call from Kathy's brother. Ken said, "Steve, I know where Adam, Aaron, Becca and Naomi are. Kathy went into hiding when the plane blew up. Kathy died a week ago. She was murdered. I will be in your office this afternoon." Steve said, "They are alive? Are they okay? What happened to Kathy?" Ken said, "I'll meet you this afternoon." Ken just hung up. Ken couldn't believe that his kids were alive. He wants Ly and Jordan, and his adoption is proceeding along. 'I hope Aaron and Adam will love Ly and Jordan,' he thought. Part 5 Steve was in his office when his secretary bussed his intercom. "Steve, Ken Bowling is here to see you. Should I send him in?" Steve said, "Maria, send him in. You can take the rest of the day off. I might not be in tomorrow. Do I have any meeting tomorrow?" Maria Ayala said, "You have a quiet day tomorrow. I'll wish you a nice day tomorrow. I'll show Ken in." In a few moments, Maria escorted Ken to Steve's office. In a few minutes, they started some small talk with Steve asking how Alison, his wife and Greg, Zared and Tiv - his kids, are doing. Steve poured Ken and himself a drink. Ken said, "I didn't know Kathy was in hiding. I was shocked when the police contacted me to tell me Aaron, Adam, Becca and Naomi was alive." Steve said, "You are shocked. I couldn't believe it when you called me." Ken said, "Aaron and Adam are wetting more. I guess having their life turned inside out and upside down in 4 months have them upset." "Where are my kids?" Steve said, "I want to meet them. I'm in the process of adopting 2 kids, so I got to tell them that." Ken said, "How?" Steve told him about Ly and Jordan and how he came to be their unofficial - for now - dad. Ken said, "Steve, Your kids are in the meeting room. They are glad to be back with you. They wanted to come with me up to your office, but I thought Maria would be shocked." Steve said, "That is true. Maria was shocked when I told her that my kids were alive. The Cedar Valley Hospital pediatric wing, a scholarship and the new terminal of the Cedar Regional International are named for my kids." Steve and Ken walked down towards the meeting room. "Hi Dad!" Becca said, when Steve walked into the meeting room. Naomi hugged her dad while Adam and Aaron looked sad. Steve came up to them and kneeled with them. "Dad," Adam whispered, "I am wet. I wanted to wear underwear today. I should've got diapered. Dad, Aaron and I missed you." In a few minutes, Steve was on the way home with his kids. They heard about Ly and Jordan, so they were asking about them. Becca said, "They wear diapers, too? Mom had me change Aaron and Adam's when she couldn't. If you want me to, I'll help diaper them." Adam said, "Ly is 10? What does he like to do?" "Ly likes to play with the train set, Aaron," Steve said. "You'll get to meet them soon. I got to pick them up from Aunt Erica's. Aunt Erica will be happy to see you."
