"The interview took a while, huh?" - Allison said as soon as Scooter opened the door to the integrated bedroom of the presidential suite. Justin rushed to flop onto the sofa while Kenny placed the backpacks on the living room table. "How was it?"

"I'm tired!" Justin complained, his voice barely audible as he buried his head in the sofa pillow. Scooter chuckled and murmured "we know, kid" before gently stroking Justin's blonde hair.

"Let’s go and take a shower then, Jay? Get some rest for tomorrow!" Nana said, sitting next to Justin and lovingly rubbing his back. The boy lifted his head from the pillow and looked at her before laying back down. "Come on, my love! Let’s go get you ready for bed!"

Nana was Justin's babysitter. Yes, it was strange for Justin to still have a babysitter, but with his chaotic schedule and the absence of his family nearby, Justin still needed one. Nana was not just a babysitter but also a nurse who had been taking care of Justin for some time. She had graduated in nursing a few years ago before seeking a job to work with children when Pattie hired her to care for a teenager. Nana reluctantly accepted, but soon realized that the boy wasn't much different from a small child. He was often very lonely and needed a lot of attention, in addition, Justin was always ill, so he required constant care. Just with a few weeks, Justin was already very attached to Nana as she took care of him like he was her own.

"Nana, but I wanted to play some video game today!" he complained, lying on his back to look at her while rubbing his tired caramel-colored eyes.

"You're almost asleep, my love," she commented, laughing as she stroked the boy's fine hair. "Let's take a shower and we can talk about it, huh?"

Justin nodded and got up from the sofa, taking Nana's hand as they both walked towards the first room on the left. While Nana laid out his pajamas, he took off his clothes and got under the water.

During the shower, Nana took the opportunity to prepare everything she would need before putting Justin to bed. Although she had already made him eat dinner before the interview, Justin always had some warm milk before bed. She hurried to the hotel kitchen and prepared his favorite Avent bottle with 350 ml of warm milk and 2 tablespoons of honey. She warmed it slightly, just a bit warmer than lukewarm, and returned to the room with the bottle in her hands. Justin was still in the shower, so Nana laid out some medications she would have to give the boy before putting him to sleep.

Justin soon was out of the shower, wrapped in a fluffy white towel as he sat on the bed, shivering slightly.

“Nana, are you going to give me butt medicine?”- Justin asked quietly, rubbing his eyes as he let a little yawn out. He got his clothes and quietly started to get dressed. His eyes were a bit teary and tired, and Nana gently laid a hand on his flushed cheeks. Justin was a bit feverish.

“Yeah, love. You need a little help going potty, huh? Is your belly sore?”

“Yeah”- he said, laying down on the bed as he looked up at Nana- “I’m tired, Nana”.

“I know, baby. Lay down on your side and let’s get it over with, okay? I’ll take your temperature as well; you seem a little feverish. Is everything alright?”- she asked, kissing Justin’s forehead as he complied and laid down on the hotel bed.

“I think I’m alright”- he said in a whisper, looking up at her- “I don’t want to play videogame anymore. After medicine, can I have my paci and sleep?”

Justin asked while laying down, his fine blondish hair still damp but perfectly combed into place, as he laid cutely in his navy-blue winter pajama set. Nana nodded her head and gave him a comforting smile before slipping a white pillow in between both his legs and adjusting his position so he was on his side.

The boy stood completely still while Nana slipped some medical gloves on. Justin was always a good boy, of course he sometimes cried and fussed during medical procedures, especially shots and enemas, but every night, Nana had to give him some glycerin suppositories up his bottom so he would go to the bathroom in the morning. Justin always had a real problem with constipation, that got much worst on tour. Some days were harder than others, but when Nana’s fingers were near his little pink rectum, he would always be perfectly still. No kicking or shifting, just completely still and quiet.

“Alright, baby boy. I’ll remove your pants and undies to take your temperature now, okay? Remember, the thermometer is very small, so this shouldn’t hurt even a bit!”- Nana said, in a calm and soothing tone, looking right into his eyes so he could feel safe.

“Nana, I don’t want to do it!”- he whimpered a little bit, rubbing his eyes and burying his head on the soft pillow.

“Oh, I know, baby, but this will make your belly feel all better! But I’ll be very careful, okay? You know it needs to be done, huh?”

“Nana, but you’re putting two things on my bottom! I don’t want to, I’m scared!”- he fussed and squirmed away, trying to get away when Nana tried to remove his pants. She immediately stopped trying to take off his clothes, and sat on the edge of the bed, stroking his hair.

“Oh, my love. Everything is okay, sweetie. What are you scared of, precious? I’m show you the thermometer so you can see how tiny it is!”- Nana soothed, smiling lightly at him when Justin nodded timidly. She reached for the pediatric light blue digital rectal thermometer on the bedside table and handed to him. Justin examined it quietly as Nana explained- “See how small and fine it is, baby? We use this thermometer on tiny little babies, it won’t hurt you, I promise. Nana will put some Vaseline so it’s very slippery and comfortable. Do you think you can be a very brave boy for me?”

Justin thought about Nana’s words for a second. Nana knew he was being a little fussier than normal because he was tired and a bit homesick. The day had been long, and the poor star was exhausted, so all she could do is have a lot of patience. Justin looked up at her with teary eyes but nodded slowly and hugged his pillow closely.

“That’s my good boy!”- Nana cheered, rubbing his baby cheeks. She laid him on his side and slowly went ahead in removing his navy pajamas pants and his fresh pair of white Calvin Klein boxers. Justin’s skin was fair and smooth, and he was almost completely hairless, except for some very few fine blondish little hairs on the legs. He was skinny, but had a plump round little bottom, from all the hockey practices. Nana adjusted the white pillow in the middle of his legs and gently rubbed his little bottom before slowly parting his cheeks using her right gloved hand.

Justin started to whimper when he felt exposed. Nana examined his little rectum. His red pucker was very small, pink and tight, and Justin was so tense she would see his little hole quivering. Nana gently rubbed his plump bottom with her thumb, trying to ease the boy a little bit. She instructed Justin to take a deep breath as she kept holding his tushy open with one hand, while the other one buried the thermometer into the tub of Vaseline.

“Stay still, Justin”- she said in a sweet tone, very gently inserting the greasy thermometer. Justin whined when he felt the slippery cold glass just entering slowly. Nana let him breathe before applying a bit more pressure and watching the thermometer disappear inside his little rectum.

“Nana!”- Justin whimpered, shifting a little bit, uncomfortably. She let go of his chubby cheeks and watched as just the very end of the glass thermometer poked out in between his cheeks- “It hurts!”

“Oh, baby. You’re just uncomfy. Just a little more, okay?”- she soothed, rubbing his bottom a bit more- “Can you be a very big boy and handle it a little bit?”

Justin thought for a while and suddenly settled down- “Yeah”.

“That’s my favorite, popstar! Just a bit more and Nana will remove it, okay?”- she saw him nodding his head and holding his pillow tightly. Justin laid there, completely still. When Nana made sure that he was okay, she opened the drawer and took a glycerin suppository out of the box and opened the foil before laying on the bedside table next to the Vaseline container.

“Nana, am I done already?”- Justin asked in a quiet voice, his babyish tone muffled by the pillow.

“Oh, yeah, babyboy, you are! I’ll take the thermometer out now, okay? Such a good boy”- Nana answered, gently parting his cheeks again and withdrawing the greasy thermometer. She frowned looking at the reading- It’s 101º, you poor baby. Let me give you the little bum pill so you can get some rest for tomorrow, okay?”

Justin hugged the pillow closer and closed his eyes, taking a deep breath when he felt the cold hair hitting his rectum when Nana spread him open once again. He felt the little pointy tip against his little quivering hole.

“Deep breath, my love”- Nana said in a sweet tone, pressing the small suppository a little firmer so it could enter Justin’s warm hole- “Almost done, almost done”- she whispered, watching as the pill disappeared inside him. Justin pressed his eyes closed and whined when the sitter’s whole finger followed the suppository inside.

“Nana!”- Justin whined, shifting a little at the uncomfortable intrusion.

“Oh, you’re all done, prince!”- the babysitter immediately shushed him, removing the finger and patting his round baby bottom- “Good boy, love! All done! Such a strong boy”

Justin smiled a little, feeling proud of himself after all the compliments. He loved when Nana told him how much of a good boy he was. Nana dressed him back after washing her hands and Justin finally turned on his back on the bed. She gave him a forehead kiss and rubbed his little stomach.

“Are you sleepy, JayJay?”- she asked him when he yawned, looking up at her that was sitting on the edge of the bed.

“Yeah, can you stay here until I sleep?”

“Of course, baby boy”.

Nana sat on the bed, her head against the headboard. Justin laid his head on her chest after she reached to grab his bottle. He turned the TV on Disney Plus and clicked on Cars, his favorite, before setting back down on Nana’s chest. She slipped the wide silicone nipple on his pink heart-shaped lips, allowing the thick honey milk to fill his cheeks. Justin drank slowly, the warm milk making him even more drowsy and tired.

Nana just kept watching him, her heart melting seeing his distressed little angel face, his baby mouth making little gasping noise as he drank the milk. She rubbed his cheeks soothingly, seeing that despite his eyes drooping, he wouldn’t allow sleep to take over. A few sips later, he spit out the nipple, but the bottle wasn’t even half empty.

“Nana?”- Justin said, his voice very drowsy, rubbing his tired eyes.

“Yeah, baby? You’re done with your mik?”

“I miss mom!”- he whined, getting teary eyes. Justin usually had a little bit of a hard time when his mother was away. She was always there to kiss him goodnight after a long day. He was always a popstar outside for the world, but inside his hotel room, when no one was watching, Justin was still a small child.

“Oh, love. I know you do. But your mom will be here tomorrow. Isn’t that exciting? The sooner you go night night, the sooner you’ll see her!”- she said, kissing his forehead. Justin nodded, being the good boy he was- “Do you want more milk?”- he shook his head- “Alright, but you need to sleep now, okay? Tomorrow you’ll have lots and lots to do and you don’t want to be tired, huh?”

Justin nodded again and Nana covered both of them with a fluffy white blanket, not sure if Justin was too stable for her to leave already. She laid a hand on his forehead and frowned a bit, he was warm. Justin cuddled closer to her, finally closing his eyes when she started to rub his silky blondish locks. She took a deep breath when Justin finally fell asleep. Well, she thought he was asleep.

“Nana?”- he whispered, making her look down at him on her chest.

“Yeah, J?”

“Do you think I can have my paci just for tonight?”- he asked with big puppy eyes, making her frown again. Pacifier was a habit that Nana and Justin’s mother were trying to break. Justin was babyish but he was already a big boy and depending on a pacifier to sleep wasn’t normal for a boy his age. Pattie, his mother, trying multiple times to remove his pacifier, but as Justin was always sick or missing her, she would back down. Nana was instructed to try and make him sleep without the pacifier but sometimes, he needed it- “Can I? I will even dedicate a song for you on the next concert!”- he tried, giving her his signature golden smile.

Nana laughed. Justin was really something else.

“J, you’re a big boy! No more paci, you know you can go to sleep without it!”

“Please, Nana! Just for tonight!”

“You said the same thing last week, Justin!”

“Pretty please! I miss mom and I didn’t even cry when you put the suppository in my tush”- he tried to convince her, getting slightly whinier. Nana noticed his distress and sighed in defeat. She reached for the white pacifier on the bedside table and slipped inside Justin’s lips- “I love you, Nana”- he said with the paci inside his mouth, hugging her and making Nana giggle.

“Alright, crazy. Go to sleep! I love you too”.

A minute was all it took for Justin immediately fall asleep. He took deep breaths and looked absolutely peaceful, the pacifier slowly moving as he sucked on it. Nana kissed his warm forehead and adjusted him on the bed, slowly getting out so she could let him rest. She covered him again with the blanket and laughed when Justin replaced her body with a pillow. He was absolutely adorable.

She put everything she used previously away and got Justin’s clothes from the bathroom floor. She made sure to leave his night light on before gently closing the door.

The whole team were already asleep. Nana ate dinner before showering and getting into bed as it was almost 1 in the morning.

*4 AM*

The babysitter got up, trying to figure out what woke her up. She turned on the light before hearing Justin’s crying voice:

“Nana!”- she heard him sobbing so she was quick to open the door to see his sleepy crying face. His light eyes were sore and red, and his babyish locks were everywhere.

“What’s wrong, J? What happened?”- she cooed, pulling him into her arms in a tight hug- “You had a nightmare?”

“I don’t feel good!”- he cried, rubbing his eyes. Nana immediately laid her hand on his forehead, alarmed by boy’s fever.
