"Why is everyone calling me Nicky again? That's what my family called me when I was like 5."

Nick looked down at himself to see if he was wearing a nametag or something. 

"Well, you *are* a little boy." 

"I mean, that's how I feel inside, sure, but it's not like I advertise it."

"Oh come on," Said Sarah, Nick's best friend. "It's obvious from a mile away, you're just a big baby."

"Shushhh! Stop it!" he said, beginning to squirm. 

They walked out of the movie theater into the clear cold air of the day.

"Well, that heat wave finally broke! No more Southern California weather in NorCal," he said, changing the subject.

"Good thing you've got your own personal bun warmer in your pants!"

"Oh my gosh. It was a mistake telling you about my diapers."

"Yup. Can't take it back now! Ooh, let's get a coffee over there. I hear that this place is great!"

"It's a mall coffee cart, how great can it be?"

"Oh, shush, baby, or I'll put you down for a nap!"

Super Duper Buzz Coffee was emblazoned in large letters above a small temporary stand. It looked like there was no line for once, but for the past few weeks it had been a huge fad. A coffee that supposedly had ten times the power of regular coffee. They had a subscription service for those who wanted to brew it at home.

"Is this coffee really that strong?" asked Nick, skeptical. "Wouldn't it be super bitter?"

"No way, kiddo. It's delicious! I drink it all the time and I'm completely fine. See? No strange side effects here. Nope. None at all!"

The barista smiled at them with a big toothed grin. 

"Well, I'm convinced," said Sara. "Let's get a super buzz buzz for me and the lil guy here will have a tiny ccino." 

"Ooh, are you sure he's old enough for coffee?"

"Nicky? Oh, well, he's been drinking coffee since he was in *diapers*."

Sara turned to Nick and gave him a big grin, and he turned  bright red.

"Uh, haha, yeah. What she said," he replied, flustered.

"Okay, two orders coming up! Would you please step to the side, I'll call you when it's ready.

They looked around.

"Uh... nobody's here?" Nick said.

"Let's... just step to the side," replied Sara, as the Barista waited expectantly. 

"Nicky! Order up!"

"Aww geez... That's me!" he called out, instantly feeling silly since they were still the only ones waiting for coffee. 

"Hey, you know this coffee is pretty good!" said Sarah, as they walked off. 

"Yeah, I agree, but...ooh, I think I have to go to the bathroom!" said Nicky. 

"Well, there should be one nearby!"

They looked and looked, but couldn't find an open bathroom. Nick was getting desperate. 

"Oh geez, I can't hold it much more!"

"Just use your diaper silly!"

"No! Not in front of you!"

"Hmm..." said Sara, a slow grin spreading across her face.

"What are you thinking, Sara? No... don't even think about it."

"Too late!" she said, as she descended on him with wiggling fingers. It was time for a tickle attack.

Nick laughed, then he begged, then he cried when he finally lost control of his bladder and bowels, filling his diaper right there in the middle of the mall. 

"Uh oh, did baby make a boom boom?" asked Sarah. 

"Come on, Nicky. Let's get you cleaned up back at home. Mommy will make it all better."

She led the sniffling boy away toward the car. 

Nicky was surprised to find a car seat waiting for him. 

"W-when did you get that?"

"You always sit in a car seat silly! Now go on, up you go!"

Nicky cringed as he felt the contents of the diaper smush against his butt, but he was quickly strapped in and could not get up. 

"Sarahhhh! It's yucky!"

"Shh, cranky boy. You'll be in your next diapee soon."

He looked down at his clothes and noticed they seemed a bit more infantile than they did before. It wasn't until they were in Sarah's home and he caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror that he was struck by just how different he looked. 

"What the-"

"Hey there, tiger. How's my boy?" Sarah's boyfriend tousled his hair, and gave Sarah a peck on the cheek. 

 "D-daddy?" Nicky was very confused. He knew Anton, and Anton was no Daddy, certainly not *his* daddy! 

"Nicky had a little accident at the mall. I shouldn't have given him that coffee." said Sara. 

"Let Daddy take care of him today, honey. We could use the bonding time."

"N-no! I can do it myself!" said Nicky, but Daddy just picked him up, set him on his hip, and carried Nicky to the nursery. His nursery. He knew it was his nursery because his name was spelled right there on the crib. 

His heart was beating very fast as he was laid down on the changing table by a man much larger than himself. He covered his face and waited.
