Tina opens the door to Leah’s bedroom.
“Rise and shine,” she sings to her diapered teenage stepdaughter. Leah sits up, groggy. She’s wearing only a pajama top, as she didn’t want to risk stretching out any of her pajama bottoms from the diaper. Tina had insisted on Leah wearing extra thick overnight diapers. “Now, let’s check.”
“Tina, I think I’d know if I-” Leah begins with a scoff. Tina throws off Leah’s blanket. Leah’s jaw drops. Her white diaper has turned yellow. “Wh- how-”
“That’s what I thought,” Tina says, shaking her head. “All right, lay down on the floor for me so I can change you.” Humiliated and shocked, Leah can only do as she’s told. Tina quickly and efficiently removes Leah’s soaking diaper, wipes her down, and then puts a fresh, much thinner, diaper on her. “There! Now, get dressed or you’ll miss the bus to school.”
“Tina,” Leah whines. “I can’t go to school in a diaper!”
“Sorry, but you’ll have to.”
“But-”
“I know, you have to ask to use the bathroom, and you haven’t had much notice lately. If that makes today difficult and you find yourself having accidents, we can discuss it tonight. Maybe you can spend some time remote learning or even come to work with me. At least until you get out of diapers.”
Leah reluctantly gets ready for the day, putting on a dress that won’t show her diaper bulge, leggings to hide any accidental glimpses, and all the bangles she owns to drown out the rustling of her undergarment. Before she leaves, Tina insists on packing extra diapers and changing supplies for Leah, just in case.
As Leah boards the bus, she feels pressure in her bladder. She had been in such a hurry to get ready, she didn’t use the bathroom yet. Well, she can tell she won’t be able to hold it until school, so she lets her bladder loose. She’s a bit unnerved by how easily she overrides her potty training and wets herself, but shakes it away.
Her diaper slightly damp, but not enough to merit a change, Leah heads off to school.
