"What's the matter, baby?" Judy said as she lifted Jim from the stroller. "Do you need Mommy?"
What a nightmare. "No," he said, dreading what would follow if she knew he had wet himself like a baby. "I'm fine."
Judy set him down on the coffee table and said, "Be honest."
"Really, I'm fine," he said. Judy was unconvinced and slide a finger down the front of the diaper, despite his protests. "Wait, don't!"
She smiled her evil smile. "Uh oh," she said. "Somebody's wet."
Cathy laughed. "Ew, gross."
Jim was sure his face was beet red.
Judy pulled out wet wipes and a fresh diaper from a bag on the stroller and laid him down gently but firmly on his back on the coffee table.
"Wait," he said. "Wait. Not here. Please, not here."
"Why not?" Judy said. "It's not like you have anything to hide down there." Jim wished he could just disappear.
She opened his old diaper revealing his bare crotch to the cold room. The other two girls crowded behind Judy to get a better look at him.
Amy laughed. "Wow, he really is dickless. That's so funny."
"Oh, man," Cathy said. "That's got to suck for you." She laughed along with Amy. "The little guy lost his little guy."
Quiet tears of humiliation filled his eyes again. Could life get any worse? he wondered. He barely paid attention to Judy cleaning and changing him. In fact, he tried to pretend that none of this was happening, that it was all just some bad dream. Soon, he was wearing a dry diaper sitting back in his stroller. He noted that at some point he had started sucking his thumb again. Some part of his mind realized in a clinically detached way how instinctively calming it was to wrap his lips around something and suck, suck, suck away at it.
"Aw, how cute," Amy said. "She's just like a real baby now, like Ellen."
The women sat down on couches and recliners in the living room, looking bored for the first time that night. Cathy seemed totally unconcerned about remaining naked at this point.
Amy sighed, "Man, when is Betty getting back. She's been gone forever."
"Give her time," Judy said. "She's old now. She moves slower."
"Even a turtle could have walked there and back by now."
"Should someone go check on her?" Cathy asked. "You know, just in case something happened with the drinks?"
The other women looked at each other.
"I'm not dressed to go out," Amy said.
"Me neither," Cathy said and smiled pleasantly as she thought again about her beautiful naked body.
Judy sighed and said, "Fine. I'll go look." She went to the door, opened it, and looked down the road.
She could see...
