Whatever line Tina made for herself in regards to controlling Leah was shaky at best, and almost constantly being crossed. As such, Tina didn't think it'd be too much of a violation to treat Leah a little bit more like a baby; after all, it's only now that Tina remembers how small and vulnerable Leah really is. It took surprisingly little time to set up a little crib in her room and deposit Leah into it. She knew Leah would probably freak out when she woke up, so she wracked her brain for a good way to keep her non-hostile without damaging her permanently. Should Tina command her to stay calm or to just not be surprised? Or would she now permanently be non-reactive, and become a robot the rest of her life? Eventually, she gave a hyper specific command to keep her from becoming hostile for a limited period of time when she wakes, and tired herself out. Realizing she was putting herself into a difficult situation more and more as times goes on, Tina whispered in her ear, "Leah, you will not find it strange you obey me completely, pretty please."
It was incredibly dubious, but at least Leah won't be suspicious any longer. Tucking the teen in, Tina finally felt her worries sway enough to go back to sleep. She set an alarm to change Leah in the morning, and left it at that. She smiled as she looked at the peaceful face of her stepdaughter sleeping in her crib, and slowly fell asleep.
Luckily, Tina woke up before Leah did, finding the teen had wet her diaper again. Leah awoke as Tina picked her up out of the crib, still gently sucking her pacifier before she spit it out in embarrassment.
"Umm, Tina? What are you doing? Where am I?"
"In my room. I decided it was safer and more convenient to move you in here, since I need to change your diapers frequently throughout the night to avoid leaks. You must've been tired, cause you slept through the change." Looking over at the pacifier now lying in the crib, Tina smiled fondly, "And were sucking your thumb. I gave you a pacifier to avoid sucking it dry."
Leah's face turned a bright red at the description of how babyish she acted, looking at her bed with alarm.
"Why...was I in a crib?"
"Moving a bed is difficult, and this is the only thing I had on hand that also made it easy to change you. I know it might be embarrassing, but I'm afraid you'll need to sleep here while you're potty training. Understood?"
Leah looked far from happy, but didn't even attempt to fight as she nodded. A part of Tina felt a little worried at Leah's new behavior, feeling like she erased a part of what made the teen unique; another part felt a strange jolt of excitement at just how submissive she was now. Tina quickly changed the teen, then left her to change into her new toddler outfit. She was a blushing mess as she walked out, blushing further as Tina clapped her hands supportively.
"This feels so demeaning." Leah lamented, looking herself over in a mirror with disdain.
"You look cute." Tina countered, grabbing Leah's shoulders before grabbing her chin, "But you are missing something...ah, I know." Quickly, Tina put Leah's hair in pigtails, and attached a pacifier to the front of her shirttails. "There we go."
Leah simply groaned louder, looking absolutely mortified.
"God, I look just like a toddler! Ugh, why do I need a pacifier? Whatever happened last night was a one off, I swear!"
"I believe you. However, a girl who isn't potty trained is usually young enough to need a pacifier. In fact, Leah, you should regularly suck on it to really sell your age. No one, not even your classmates, would be able to recognize you then."
Leah's face scrunched in displeasure, but she stuck the pacifier in her mouth without a complaint. Tina cooed at how cute she looked, getting a elbow to her gut from the flustered teen.
"Alright, let's get some breakfast!" Tina shouted enthusiastically. What they ate now would be important, as it will impact Leah's need to go later in the day. For Leah's potty training, Tina decided on...
