He awoke to Beth changing his diaper, but this time she put on a larger, thicker diaper, a Tena youth. "Time for school, bro"

He got ready and she drove him to school. He was very nervous. These were his friends, about to find out the shocking truth. He cringed at the sound of his crinkling diaper. He saw his best friend, Jim leaning on a locker.

"Dude Ryan where have you been? I heard you got in a car accident, that's a huge gash on your head!" Jim was excited to see Ryan. They talked until the bell but Ryan never told him about his diapers. They walked to class together (They had all classes together). Ryan's gym class was second so he was very nervous.

2nd period rolled around and Ryan and Jim walked to the locker room. Ryan decided to follow Beth's advice and reveal his secret. He casually slipped down his jeans exposing the diaper and he got his shorts out of the locker. Then a kid said more out of sheer surprise than to embarrass Ryan "Dude why are you wearing a diaper?" He stared at Ryan in disbelief. Soon everyone stared at Ryan expecting an answer.

He shrugged casually said "Got hit by a drunk driver last weekend, and injured my bladder." some of their mouths hung open others stared in awe. He pulled his shorts on and pulled his shirt off.

Sean a football player gasped "Sweet scar, Ryan man!" He was referring to the long scar that began at his shoulder and ended at his waist. It had been where the window hit him. He pulled on his gym shirt and casually walked out to do warm-ups. Jim caught up with him.

"Why didn't you tell me about the injury?" Ryan just shrugged. No one said anything about it to him , but he heard whispers. Before lunch he went to the clinic. The nurse changed him without comment. He went to lunch and sat at his usual table. He, Jim, and Jayne sat there. Jayne was Ryan's other best friend. As soon as Ryan sat down Jayne confronted him.

"I heard a rumor that you were in a car accident?" He nodded. "I thought so I bet that hurt, there's a huge scar on your forehead. And there was one other thing-" He knew what she was driving at.

"Yes, I injured my bladder and am wearing a diaper." He finished for her. ` "Oh- I'm sorry, it's just, well, anyway you still trying out for swim team?" He hadn't thought about that. What the hell? He might as well.

"It's okay its not a big deal, and I'll be there Wednesday for tryouts." Jim didn't like swimming so he wasn't going. They chatted the rest of the lunch period occasionally Jim and Jayne shot Ryan a concerned glance.

"Guy's it's okay I'm still a person right? I can deal with it fine stop looking at me like that!" He blurted. He saw Jim and Jayne relax.

Tryouts finally came he was one of 15 boys lined up. 13 wore speedos and a kid and him were the only boys in swimming trunks. Of course, Ryan wore a Keifer swim diaper under his trunks. The girls had about 30 or so and he waved at Jayne.

He swam much better than most of the boys and he made the team. Since there were so few boys it only took one cut and three guys, one wearing the swimming trunks were cut. Ryan was there, one of twelve boys on the swimming team. He waited for the Girl's tryouts to end. Jayne made it, she was a good swimmer and had her own pool. She was sort of a tomboy and invited Jim and Ryan to swim with her every summer. They congratulated each other. Ryan changed out of his swim diaper and into a Tena. Beth picked him up and dropped him off at home because she had to go to work.

The holidays were swiftly approaching and the weather was icy. They'd missed a day of school because of the weather. Beth's lawyer recommended they sue the drunk driver for $50,000. Ten thousand in medical bills (Including the cost of Ryan's diapers), and $40,000 in punitive damages. It turned out the driver of the truck was a second time offender, and filthy rich. He suggested they throw a pity party for Ryan to convince the judge. The trial would occur in January. They were going to visit Aunt Meg's over the holidays. The insurance came through and gave them twenty grand for the wrecked Honda s2000. Beth bought a used 1995 Lancer Evo (She loved imports). Ryan's birthday was December 24, so he'd be spending it at his Aunt's.

Beth said that if they got the punitive damages, she'd buy Ryan a computer and make a down payment on a small house.

Things were starting to heat up between Jayne and Ryan and Ryan asked her out. They went to the winter dance together. Jayne was happy and so was Ryan. Beth giggled when she thought of the couple. Beth thought of Jayne changing Ryan and giggled more.

Things settled at school and Ryan's complication was not a big deal. Ryan recently learned that Jim wet the bed at a sleepover. Jim had admitted he was afraid to tell Ryan before, and Ryan told him about his bedwetting before the accident. The holidays arrived, and Beth and Ryan prepared to leave to Clanton and see their Aunt and perhaps uncle.

---

They were leaving for Clanton in two days, so Ryan and Beth busied themselves with packing and wrapping gifts for the trip.

They readied the car and went to bed the night before departure. Snow was falling outside and the streets were decorated with Christmas lights. Ryan hopped onto his changing table, and waited for Beth to come in. She came in and took off his wet diaper. She wiped him and powdered him. She unfolded one of the thick Molicare night diapers he wore and fastened it. He got dressed in his pajamas and went to watch a movie with Beth. While the previews ran, Beth fixed him a bottle and gave it to him. Soon he fell asleep. Beth left him on the couch and went to get ready for bed.

Beth woke Ryan up and took his wet diaper off. He went to take a shower. Beth got ready for the long drive and prepared drinks for the road. She put Ryan's in a bottle. When Ryan came out of the shower, Beth diapered him in a Molicare again since he wouldn't be changed for a while. He got dressed and they loaded the rest of the stuff into the car. Beth drove them to a nearby waffle house where they got breakfast. Despite the ice, the Lancer handled well because of its AWD. Beth thought that the driver's seat being on the right side was cool.

An hour and a half into the trip, Ryan had to poop. He went in the thick Molicare. Ryan hated pooping in his diapers, because it felt so uncomfortable. The poop was warm and pressed against his bottom. After about an hour, they got gas and Beth looked for a suitable place to change Ryan's messy diaper. He was getting uncomfortable and she knew it. She found a Wal-mart. They looked for a handicap restroom, but there was only men and women.

"Sorry, bro, but I'm gonna have to change you in the women's restroom." with that she led him in. He got on the changing table and she untaped the diaper. She wiped him with efficiency and powdered him. She grabbed another Molicare and was fastening it when a young girl walked in. Ryan was so embarrassed. Beth quickly fastened it and pulled Ryan's sweats up. They were soon on the road again.

They arrived in time for dinner, which was ham and stuffing. Uncle Dan wasn't at work, and he greeted them warmly. They carried their stuff up to the guest room after dinner, and Ryan went to play with Robert, his cousin. Beth talked with Aunt Meg and Uncle Dan.

Ryan was still better than Rob at halo and it showed. After the game the score was 25 to 3 Ryan winning. They played a few other video games and soon it was 11:30. Beth called Ryan and Rob into the guest room.

"Rob do you want to wear diapers like Ryan so he doesn't feel bad?" Beth asked, knowing of Rob's desire for diapers. Rob's supply of Pampers had ran out and he was eager.

"Sure!" Rob said happily. Beth instructed him to lay on the changing pad. She removed his pants and underpants. She powdered him and fastened a Tena youth on him. She did the same for Ryan but used another Molicare. She gave them their pants, and they returned to video games. Ryan asked if Rob had gotten Resident Evil 4 for his Gamecube.

"I do, but don't tell my mom, my dad got it for me cuz it's rated M." Rob answered pulling out a disc from a CD case under his bed.

"My friend has it, it's sweet!" Ryan answered. They played it until one and then fell asleep.

Ryan woke up early, showered, and changed into a new diaper. He'd learned an easy way to change his own diaper. He'd remove the old one, wipe, and as best as he could, powder himself and fasten it while leaning against a wall. Beth still changed him most of the time, though. Ryan put in his contacts, brushed his teeth and got dressed, and then returned to the guest room. He took care of a few things for school and went to wake Rob. He entered Rob's room and woke him up. Rob grunted and crawled out of bed. The front of his pajamas were soaked!

"I thought you wore a diaper last night, man!" Ryan said, amazed. Rob looked down and all but screamed in terror.

"I did-what happened-oh crap-if mom finds out!" He pulled down his bottoms exposing a dripping wet diaper. He removed it and threw it away. He looked at his bed, it was wet. "I-I wet the bed!" he was almost crying now and Ryan felt bad.

"It's okay man, it just leaked a bit, no need to have a heart attack." Ryan reassured.

"But my mom will find out about my wet-"

"Find out? Did you wet your bed young man? I can't believe, it, a twelve year old who wets himself like a baby! Oh yes, I can, that's right Ryan here did the same thing, and you know what happened to him? He got a spanking!" Aunt Meg roared like a monster as she rushed in, almost knocking Ryan over in the process. She pulled Rob over her lap and began spanking his bare bottom. Tears formed in his eyes and he began to cry loudly.

"Stop it now!" Ryan yelled while pulling Rob off Meg's lap. She became enraged and grabbed Ryan and started spanking him. Beth ran into the room and quickly stopped Meg.

"What the hell are you doing? " Beth yelled at Meg. She was angry at her and her voice was authoritative, almost threatening.

"What do you think? I'm punishing the little bedwetter, and Ryan tried to stop me, so I'll punish him too!"

"My Ass you will. Don't you ever touch him or I'll-" She stopped because Aunt Meg was sobbing loudly.

"I don't know what came over me, I'm so sorry, please forgive me!" Aunt said in a soft voice.

"Aunt Meg-" Beth began in a softer voice "I forgive you, but you can't punish someone for something they can't control. If you don't want to wash sheets, I suggest you put Rob in diapers at night- very thick ones that don't leak- it worked excellently for Ryan and it takes less work."

After many apologies and what not, the matter was finally settled. Instead of spanking Rob for wetting the bed he would wear diapers at night to keep the bed dry.

They went to the nearest shopping mall, an hour away and shopped for Christmas gifts. Rob and Ryan went together, and Beth and Meg went together. After a few hours of shopping, Ryan and Rob had enough, and went to the food court for lunch. Christmas music was played loudly, and Santa was in the middle of the mall with a long line waiting to see him. As Rob finished up his lunch, Ryan went to the bathroom to change himself. He carried his diaper supplies in a small bag. He went in the only empty stall, and changed. As he was heading out, he carried the wet diaper in one hand his diaper bag in the other. A few people looked at him weird as he threw it away. He walked back to where Rob was sitting and gathered what he had bought. They were supposed to meet the other two at the front entrance in an hour, so they went to the arcade.

"So how many times has he wet the bed lately?" Beth asked Aunt Meg as they walked toward the Food Lion for their groceries.

"Actually a few times a week. It's a pain!" Aunt Meg said angry at the thought of Rob's accidents.

"You want cloth or disposable for him?" Beth asked.

"Disposable. I don't want to wash anything." They had already bought a plastic mattress cover for Rob. She had ordered a custom changing table and diaper pail from Sears. She had a plan to humiliate the bedwetting baby, and she didn't plan on telling Beth.

"So you have a few choices. You could buy him Goodnites, which look like real underwear and are pull-ups. They are the most expensive type, but they'd make it easier for Rob. You could buy him Baby diapers, I think he'll fit in size six Pampers or Huggies. They are the cheapest. They are bulky and noisy though, so it's a trade off. The medium is sold at any pharmacy- Attends-which are cheaper than Goodnites, and less bulky than baby diapers." Beth knew a lot of this from when she looked for Ryan's diapers, but in the end she chose cloth.

"I think we'll go with baby-diapers, everyone knows about his bedwetting, anyway, so bulkiness isn't an issue. Let's get them here." She said as they entered Food Lion.

In the end they decided to buy the diapers and take them out to Meg's van and then get groceries. Meg bought two Jumbo packages of both Huggies 6 and Pampers 6. She bought some baby wipes and powder.

They went to the entrance to wait for Ryan and Rob. The two came soon, only carrying a few bags, while Beth and Meg were heavily laden with shopping bags.

That night Aunt Meg called Rob into his room where the changing table and giant diaper pail were. She diapered him with a Pampers, and told him if he took it off she'd spank him. Powder and wipes were on the changing table and a stack of pampers was on his dresser.

Christmas eve they celebrated Ryan's birthday. They had a cake and Ryan turned 14. He was given some CD's and stuff.

---

Aunt Anne and her family arrived at nine on Christmas morning, all the way from New Orleans. Anne had a daughter and a son, twins aged 13. The son was Ray, and the daughter was Rachael.

Fortunately, Aunt Meg seemingly had mercy on Rob and took his diaper off before they got there. Ryan couldn't take his off obviously, so he did his best to hide the Tena youth. Everyone greeted each other warmly, and they sat down to breakfast, which was sausage and eggs. Soon they were exchanging gifts.

Halfway through, Rob made the mistake of opening a large box addressed to him. To his horror, two large packages of Huggies 6 were in the box.

"It's for your bedwetting, dear." Meg said smiling. Anne and Rachael giggled. Ryan noticed Ray wasn't laughing.

"Perhaps I should get some for Ray, he's wet the bed since he was 11!" Anne said to Meg. Rob was ready to bolt for his room crying when Meg suggested he show everyone what he looks like with a diaper on. She instructed Rob to lay down on the floor and he was almost crying. She tore open one of the packages and withdrew a Huggies. She diapered him in front of everyone, and Ryan felt sorry for him.

"Walk around for us!" Meg said as she took his pants, leaving him in his shirt and the diaper. But after awhile, Rob felt less humiliated as they moved on. He'd gotten some nice gifts, but he still felt betrayed.

After lunch, Beth felt she had to do something to make Rob feel better. So she decided to draw attention to Ryan. She told him after lunch and he agreed, only because he felt sorry for Rob.

Loudly Beth said "Ryan you need a diaper change?" She acted casually and he responded casually too.

"Yes, I'm wet." Ryan felt embarrassed and Aunt Anne shot him an odd glance. Rachael and Ray just stared.

After the shock Anne asked "Why is Ryan in diapers?" She couldn't help herself.

"Well, he has a bladder injury" Beth said. "From a car accident in September." She went on about the accident and finally went upstairs with Ryan to change him. She locked the door behind him and he lay down on the changing pad. "Good job, Ryan, I think Rob we'll feel a bit less embarrassed" she said as she powdered him. He nodded while she fastened it and she pulled up his jeans. They went downstairs and celebrated the holiday together and the subjects of bedwetting or diapers weren't mentioned again until that night. Anne and her daughter and son were going to stay overnight in the living room. Ray had just finished getting changed. He came out of the bathroom and saw Aunt Meg and Anne waiting by a changing pad.

"Ray we're going to try something new tonight." Anne said smiling wickedly, Rachael was grinning too.

"I'm not wearing a diaper, diapers are for babies!" Ray said indignantly. Ryan felt angry for a second, then realized Ray didn't mean to upset him.

"Well, only babies wet themselves!" Anne said angrily. Ryan was hit by another wave of anger. He wet himself everyday, but he wasn't a baby! Ray was turning red and Anne began advancing on him. "You lay down on that pad mister NOW!" she yelled.

"No!" Ray was really upset. Rachael giggled. Rob came down in his diaper and pajama shirt and watched. Anne withdrew a hairbrush from her purse.

"I'll give you a good spanking if you don't!" Anne stared at Ray and tears began to form in his eyes. But he didn't move. Anne grabbed him and dragged him to the sofa.

"Here!" Meg said and pulled a chair from the kitchen. Ray began to cry softly as he was dragged to the chair and over his mother's lap.

"You will wear whatever I want you to wear, young man, including a diaper!" she lectured "Is that understood?"

"Yes, ma'am." He said between sobs. With that she unbuckled his pants and told him to lie on the pad. All eyes were on Ray. He was embarrassed. Anne powdered him, and slid the diaper under him. She fastened it and kept his pants.

That night Beth and Ryan went up to their room early and talked for awhile. "I wonder if the reason for Rob and Ray's bedwetting is genetic?"

Beth paused for a second "You might be right. What's the likelihood of three bedwetter's at 13 in one family?" She made a note to talk to Aunt Meg and Anne about it.

The next morning Aunt Meg went to work with breakfast early, and soon everyone woke up. Ryan had gotten up to change and shower earlier, so he helped Meg in the kitchen. Beth finished showering and was about to head downstairs when she saw Rob emerge from his room wearing his shirt and a very wet diaper.

"Here, let me help you with that." Beth led him into his room and instructed him to get up on the changing table. She removed the diaper and threw it into the pail. She wiped him clean and told him to get dressed. As she headed downstairs she heard Anne yelling to Ray.

"Looks like you needed that diaper after all! You have two choices today. I can change you into a clean diaper, or I can give you a spanking. Which will you have, young man?" She looked at Ray who was standing there in just a wet diaper.

"I guess I'll wear a diaper" Ray said quietly. Anne diapered him and let him wear a shirt.

"Beth, Meg, and I are going shopping today for bargains, Uncle Dan is staying home, who wants to come?" Anne asked as they ate breakfast. Only Rachael volunteered. Ray didn't want to go because of the diaper, and Rob and Ryan weren't interested. Ryan reminded Beth he needed some more diapers and a few other things.

Ryan, Ray, and Rob mostly played X-Box together the whole day. Rob had just gotten X-Box Live and Ryan envied him. Ray was quiet, but no one ever made any comment about his diapers. None could, because Ryan was wearing one too, and because Rob had wet the bed too.

Most of the stores were closed, but a few had sales and were open. The women shopped until nightfall. They had bought quite a bit. Anne called Ray down and said she had a surprise for him. He came down, knowing it wasn't a "good" surprise, but a bad one.

"Since you've been wetting yourself like a baby, I've decided you will be treated like a baby. From now on you will wear diapers and use them for their purpose." With that she opened a large box, revealing dozens of cloth diapers and a few pairs of baby-print plastic pants. Ray began sobbing, but he laid down on the pad obediently. Anne removed his disposable and placed 3 thick diapers under him. She sprinkled powder and pinned the diapers up. She grabbed a pair of baby pants and worked them up over his diapers. She removed his shirt, leaving him in just his diapers. "Until further notice you will wear diapers. You cannot use the toilet and can only use your diapers, like a baby. If you use your diapers, you must ask either me or your big sister Rachael for a diaper change. Drink this NOW!" She gave him a bottle which contained milk and a strong laxative. He drank it in front of everyone, and was allowed to go back upstairs to play. He left still crying. Ryan wondered why Aunt Anne was so cruel to him just for a few accidents. Ray was humiliated and upset with his mom. He noticed the strong urge to poop. He held as long as he could and he pooped his diaper. It felt bad and soon Ryan and Rob smelt it. Ray went down to ask his mom for a change. She was talking to Aunt Meg and he whispered in her ear.

"I can't hear you speak up!" She said drawing attention to Ray. He turned red and said it louder. She pretended not to hear so he almost shouted it.

"Oh did the baby poop his pants? Rachael your baby brother needs a change!" She said in a mocking voice. She took his hand and led him to Rob's changing table, where Beth was now changing Ryan. Beth finished and Anne told Ray to get on the table. She pulled down the baby pants and unpinned the diapers, exposing the poopy mess.

"You don't need to be changed until tomorrow!" She said as she added some more powder. She pinned the diapers up and added another layer. She worked the baby pants over his diapers. The poop was extremely uncomfortable. He joined the rest of the family for a movie, but couldn't find a comfortable position. He cried as he went to sleep and wished he could stop wetting the bed. Ryan and Beth were leaving tomorrow, and he'd be the only one in diapers during the day.

Ray woke up to a burning sensation on his bottom. Ryan had gotten up early again, and so did Beth, and they were loading the car. Ray got up to help them. Beth spotted him and wished him a good morning and Ryan did likewise. When they finished, Beth looked at him.

"I think you deserve a change. Come here." She led him upstairs and changed him. She applied rash cream to his diaper rash and diapered him in three layers again. She worked the baby pants over the diapers. She then changed Ryan's soaking Molicare. To make diaper changes easier she gave him a pair of basketball shorts to wear, which were baggy enough to hide the disposable, but if Ryan bent over to get something, one could spot the purple plastic sticking out from under his shorts. When everyone woke up, Beth and Ryan said goodbye and left Clanton.

Ryan noticed the turn on the southbound highway. "Where are we going?" Ryan asked wondering why she'd go south.

"A job interview, sort of a surprise. A big intensive care unit down in Biloxi is requesting cardiac care nurses. It's tomorrow, but we'll stay a few days at the beach."

"Are we gonna move?' Ryan asked wondering if moving could be good at all.

"Well maybe. I mean if I get the job it's good money, maybe $80,000 with a family health insurance policy. Ryan, we could buy some place on the beach, or in the delta!" Beth said. She really wanted this job. "Best of all, it's only ten hours, 9-7 but still nights." Ryan pondered it for awhile, he did always like the beach. Meanwhile, the December air grew warmer as they reached the coast, and it soon reached the mid 60's.
