"5, I wanna be 5." Natalie replies quietly.
"Natalie, are you okay? There's nothing to be scared of." Olivia assures her oldest.
"Mom, is something wrong with Natalie?" Brianna asks.
"Honey, do you remember Cheryl, our old neighbor?" Olivia asks.
"Yeah." Brianna asks. She didn't think too much of Cheryl, just a quiet older woman.
"When you were in my tummy and you were almost born, Natalie was kidnapped by Cheryl. She liked playing with her and it became an obsession because she couldn't have kids. Out of the blue, just took her and ran all the way to California. She was eventually found but then we found out two of her male friends raped and hurt her. The physical damage was bad, the mental damage was beyond anything I knew. Natalie's potty-training progress was completely gone. Because of them, Natalie was in diapers during the day until she was 8-year-old and if you needed an explanation for Natalie's younger behavior, you have it now." Olivia answers. Natalie was crying. Olivia gave her a hug.
"Natalie, I can't believe it. I wish you had told me sooner." Brianna says.
"We thought you remembered." Olivia says.
"I guess I had forgotten." Brianna says.
"You weren't born at the time, so I can understand and I probably should have told you sooner. Those cruel men have destroyed your sister's psyche." Olivia says, rubbing her daughter's back. Brianna went up to her and gave her a hug. They both embrace a shaken Natalie, who was now shrinking in their arms. Soon, she was her target age of 5. She was wearing a yellow shirt and a white diaper, which was wet.
"Natalie, it's okay. Mommy will change you." Olivia says, then lifting Natalie up and lying her on the bed. She went to Natalie's bag, which now had diapers and changing supplies. She came over and stripped the wet diaper off Natalie. She then cleaned her sensitive areas and and applied powder. She then lifted her legs up, slipped a diaper underneath, put her legs down, pulled the front up and secured the tapes. Olivia then lifted Natalie into her arms.
"Mom, can I hold her?" Brianna asks.
"Be careful with her." Olivia answers, as she hands Natalie over to her. Natalie embraced her now older sister. Brianna holds her close.
"Natalie, you are so cute, and to think someone committed such vile acts against you.........." Brianna says, as she now begins crying. Olivia comes over and does her best to lift Brianna up and is successful. She holds both of her girls close. Brianna is very much shaken by what she has heard.
"Natalie.......I never once made fun of you.................I even envied you sometimes. I remember being 3 and seeing you poop yourself at 6 and Mom just changing you like it was me pooping." Brianna says.
"Brianna, I have never told you how proud I am of you for never making fun of your sister." Olivia says, holding both close.
"I love you guys." Natalie says.
"We love you too." both Olivia and Brianna reply.
"Natalie, if you wanna wear diapers all the time, you just do it. It's okay with me." Olivia says.
"Mommy.........................." Brianna says.
