Before he went to bed, Jim decided to check in on Mike. When he poked his head into the room, he immediately could smell the mess in Mike’s diaper.
“Guess the laxative worked,” Jim said quietly. He scooped the still sleeping Mike into his arms and carried him into the bathroom, where Stacy was finishing her nightly routine.
“Does he need a change?” Stacy asked. Jim nodded. “You’re not going to wake him up?”
“It’s embarrassing for him. I figure he’d prefer to sleep through a diaper change,” Jim replied. He set Mike on the counter, removed his diaper, wiped him down, and taped a fresh diaper on. “There. Now he can go back to bed.”
“Actually…” Stacy said slowly. Jim looked at her. “Maybe he should sleep in bed with us. I feel a bit nervous about him being in his room all on his own, in a bed that’s too big for him.”
“Fair point. All right. Mike can sleep in our bed until we come up with a different solution,” Jim said. He brought Mike into his and Stacy’s bedroom. After he had settled himself and Mike, Stacy came in and got in bed as well. She kissed Jim and Mike.
“Good night.”
“Good night,” Jim said, kissing Mike and Stacy. He turned off the light. Soon, he and Stacy were as asleep as Mike.
