Their Baby Brother Summary: This is 10-year-old James’ story. James’ dad died on his way home from work. His mom died going to see him in the hospital. James is now going to live with Annie and her daughters Cecelia (Sissy) and Lilly. Regressions come next. Then he becomes their baby brother. There are three parts so far; two are James’, one is his aunt’s. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- [JAMES] I remember that my mom died when I was 3, going to see my dad. Right now I'm in a foster home. The people here are really nice. When I wet the bed they don't hit me like my dad did. They just say it will be all better and helped me get cleaned up. They won't yell at me when I accidentally wet my pants either. One day my aunt came to the home. I was extremely happy. The foster parents were sad to see me go but it was for the best. They explained to Aunt Annie that I had some accidents during the day. My aunt said that won’t be a problem. She grabbed my belongings and put them in her shiny new Honda. I got to sit in the front because it was a special occasion. Aunt Annie said she was so glad to see me. She was sorry that my mom died. Aunt Annie and mom were sisters and were always very nice. Aunt Annie told me that we would be flying to her house in Florida. I was excited because I had never been to Florida. She brought me to her house. It was different from here old house because this was bigger. I stepped inside and looked around. It was as big as the gym at the school I went to. Then I heard Sissy and Lilly running down the stairs. They’re both 15 and very pretty. I heard Sissy ask her mom if I was going to live with them. Annie nodded. Sissy jumped into the air with glee. "We have a new baby brother!" Lilly and Sissy said, jumping around. That was the happiest day in our lives. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- [AUNT ANNIE] I went to go get James. I found that my sister and her husband had died in a series of car accidents. I told Sissy and Lilly to watch the house and not throw a huge party for their cousin so to be their brother. I flew from our house in Florida to go get him. I asked my lawyer to have James’ last name changed to mine. I went to go get him. He was at The Donnivan's Foster Center in Albany, New York. I knocked on the door. Mrs. Donnivan opened the door. She was very nice. While James got his belongings Mrs. Donnivan said he had frequent wettings during the day and night. She said I would be related to his parents’ death. I understood and took him to the Holiday Inn. We stayed there until our flight for Florida. When we reached home I knew my girls threw James a party because there were streamers in the kitchen and a cake. I didn't tell James. I wanted him to be surprised. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- [JAMES] I walked into the kitchen. It was bigger than any kitchen I had ever seen. They said it was a party for me. I knew that they were planning something. We blew out the candles, ate some cake and watched TV. Aunt Annie brought me upstairs to a bedroom. She said that the foster mom said that I had accidents. I started crying. Annie comforted me and said that just at night I would have to wear diapers. I knew she was right but I wasn't so sure. She set me on the bed and pulled the diaper between my legs. It felt like there was a pillow between my legs. She put powder around my wee-wee and taped it up. She gave me a t-shirt that covered my diaper and brought me downstairs. When Sissy and Lily saw me they came running over. "What a cute baby!" Lilly said as she picked me up. I'm only 4'4 so it's not hard to pick me up. They played games with me until 8. Then Aunt brought me up to a nursery filled with baby things. There was a changing table and crib in the corner. In the center was a rocking chair and a playpen with all stuffed animals. She put me in the crib. She said that this would be my room until the spare room was done. She said goodnight and tucked me in and shut off the light. ======================================================================= Part 2 [JAMES] I woke next morning refreshed. I felt an odd feeling. I felt the warm pee against my pee-pee, but my bed was dry. I looked at my surroundings. I was in a nursery with everything that comes with it like a changing table, the crib I was in, playpen, rocking chair, and an old-looking cabinet filled with baby toys. While looking around Auntie Ann came in. Annie asked how I slept as she carried me as she carried me to the changing table. I said I was good and the diapers helped. She was glad that I was happy and not washing sheets. She untaped the diaper and pulled it off. She wiped my pee-pee with a wipe. I asked her if needed a diaper. She said no, but I should use a pull-up just in case. I had to agree with her. She gave me a pull-up and some of my clothes. She walked me down the stairs and into the kitchen. I was awed by the size of the kitchen. It was really big with a big fridge and oven and a huge table in it. I said she had a very big kitchen she smiled and asked what I wanted for breakfast. I said, “waffles”. She gave me the waffles with syrup and apple juice. I happily ate. Lilly eyed my Eggos. She reached over. “Le’go my Eggo!” I said smiling. Everybody laughed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- [AUNT ANNIE] I woke up at around 7:30. I got up put on my robe and went to check on the girls. Lilly was on the computer and Sissy was sleeping. I checked on Jamie. He was awake looking around. I asked him how he slept. He said fine and I picked him up and brought him to the changing table. I took off his diaper. He soaked it. I cleaned his penis and his bum with a wipe. He asked if he was gonna wear a diaper. I said he should wear a pull-up in case. I bought pull-ups when I went shopping before he came. I wasn't sure if he was full potty trained but the diapers were in the nursery. I handed him a pull-up. He put it on and I handed him some of his clothes. We went downstairs for breakfast. Lilly and Sissy had made themselves waffles. I asked him what he wanted. He eyed the waffles and I guessed that's what he wanted. I made him some and gave him some syrup, too. He happily ate his Eggos. He looked so cute shoving them down. Lily was looking at him. She had finished her waffles. She reached over. He shooed her away with his funny little comment, “Le’go my Eggo!” he said. We all broke out laughing.
