Content: I feel like I might need to explain this story a little. For starters yes it's that Raquel. If you've been around these forums for a while then you'll remember Raquel's only wish, which was a very popular story written by Emily91 who's since stop writing the story and as far as I know being an ab/dl all together. This unfortunately left one of the better stories on this forum unfinished. Even though she got through what she considered one book it ended in a bit of a cliffhanger and the next book wasn't finished with only a vague outline of where she wanted to go with it. The fact that it was left incomplete has always kinda bothered me,because I was writing one of my stories Abby's diapers at the same time and in the same universe as a sort of inside joke, but they ended up being pretty well connected. So when she left she also happened to delete the story entirely from wattpad where I also posted Abby's Diapers, and I've been getting several messages from people there confused as to where this other story is.

So I decided I wanted to retell her original story to wrap up a loose end in one of my stories and also because I happened to like the original and want to see a completed version of it, one that has a definite end and isn't left hanging. That's not to say I won't put my own spin on it, there were a lot of things that sort of irked me with the original, mostly the stuff toward the end that would have set up the events in the next book. Also, while I'll try to keep the general dl theme she had, my version is probably going to lean more on the ab side just because I lean more on the ab than she did. Also I'm not out to make the definitive edition of the story, I just want to make a version that has an actual ending. I'm also not out to take credit for her work, that's why I'm making this long preface. It's her story and all of the ideas or hers she's just not around to finish it and that's what I want to do. And finally if Emily91 is still lurking around here on the forums then I'll gladly stop writing if she doesn't want me to, or if any of the admins want me to. I'm not 100% sure this is even covered in the rules, but at the end of her last post she said she didn't mind if somebody finished it so there's that.

With all that said, I really hope you guys enjoy my interpretation of it, and I hope you can appreciate my desire to give this story an ending.

The sun was setting in the horizon creating a red and purple light show in the sky that completely overshadowed the small dingy motel. The orange neon sign read Georgia motel, a sign that indicated the owner wasn’t the most imaginative of people. A small two door sedan waited parked across the street. Inside a Puerto Rican man, Miguel Hernandez, watched the motel through binoculars in the driver seat. Sweat gathered on his brow and on the tips of his jet black hair, not from heat but from anticipation. His 5 year old daughter was seated anxiously in the passenger seat nervously playing with her own jet black hair a look of terror on her face. She brought her hand down to the front of her dress and fidgeted with it attempting to get comfortable in the soaked diaper she was wearing, the stress of the current situation not helping her usual bladder issues at all.

“You don’t have to go daddy,” she said panicked. Miguel began crying his tears fogging up the binoculars.

“No baby I do,” He said as brought the binoculars down to wipe them with his shirt. “They killed your mother, took her away from me, and they’ll kill you too if I don't stop them here.”

“We can just go. We don’t have to go back home. We are already here in America let’s just stay.”

“No this is the way it has to be.” The neon light of the motel sign shut off with a violent spark, and one of the cars parked in the motel’s parking lot sped off. “There I have to go now,” Miguel said as he kissed his daughter on the forehead.

“Please no.”

“Stay here be safe,” Miguel said as he made his way toward one of the motel rooms slowly drawing a gun from his trench coat as he moved. He seemed to flit across the lot with speed, precision, and determination. Raquel could see him as he leaned against the wall of the hotel. He took a deep breath and then kicked the door in. He stormed in the room out of Raquel’s sight. Almost as soon as he entered Raquel could see a line of cop cars with lights and sirens on flood into the parking lot. The police quickly surrounded the one exit to the hotel room and began to approach the room with their pistols drawn. It was only a few seconds before the officers emerged with Miguel in tow. Raquel screamed as she saw her father led into the back of a squad car in handcuffs. She kicked open the door of the car and ran out screaming for him. She didn’t run far before a police officer scooped her up.

“Get that girl out of here!” came a shout from one of the officers in charge. “This is an active crime scene no civilians!”

“No please daddy no!” Raquel screamed as she tried to wriggle out of the officers grasp but to no avail the officer easily overpowered the little girl as she carried her away from the scene. Raquel continued screaming.

Raquel woke up screaming from her nightmare covered in sweat. She breathed heavily in and out getting a grasp of her surroundings. She was home in her room, well not really home, at foster home number 5. Though admittedly the Coopers were a lot more stable and welcoming than the other foster homes she had lived at. Raquel quickly threw the sheets off of her bed in an attempt to cool off as quickly as possible. In doing so she exposed her very soaked diaper. Of course I wet the bed, Raquel thought, she didn’t blame herself as much as usual though, night terrors were a perfectly valid reason to wet the bed after all and she didn’t feel as ashamed about wetting the bed for that as she did when she wet it for no reason.

She sighed as she got up out of bed, there wasn’t any sense of trying to go back to sleep now, she was already awake besides it was probably best to be up early for her first day of school. Raquel removed her wet night diaper one tape at a time and threw it in a diaper pail in her bathroom that was already filled with wet diapers from several other nights. Her night diapers looked as much like a stereotypical diaper as possible, thick, plain white, and with 4 tapes to keep it on. One time Raquel actually looked up diaper in the dictionary and could swear the picture in the dictionary was a picture of the diapers she wore to bed. Despite their blandness they usually did their job well enough, only leaking when Raquel drank excessively the night before or slept in a weird position. She did always secretly hope that the company that made them would come out with a more aesthetic model, not a full on baby design but something more entertaining to look at would be nice.

She hopped in the shower eager to feel clean. After she was done with her shower she instinctively put on her day time pull ups. Raquel liked to think that wearing pull ups during the day was just a precaution. She could begrudgingly accept that she had basically no control of her bladder while she slept, but she liked to think that she had at least some control while she was awake. Sadly, though the fact that she still wore pull ups every day is a testament to how she still had frequent accidents even during the day.

Somewhat ironically the pull ups she wore during the day were actually designed to be heavy duty night diapers, but for girls much younger than her. Even though she wasn’t a little girl anymore and was a proud 15 year old, she stood at an unbelievably short 4’9 and was just as skinny, so the pull up meant for 5 and 6 year olds still fit her like it was supposed to. They also happened to be amazingly quiet unlike her thicker night diapers, which crinkled with every move she made, and were likewise much thinner and easier to hide under clothes, combined with being pull ups meant that these had been her go to day time protection for as long as she remembered despite the somewhat childish designs they had. In particular she hated the fade when wet designs the bottom of the diaper had as it reminded her of how childish of a problem this was.

Raquel pushed thoughts of her problem out of her mind as she finished getting dressed for her first day as a sophomore. She wore a professional but form fitting blouse and a shorter than average skirt, though still long enough to cover her protection without any worries. In addition to being the first day back to school this was also the day of the school’s cheer try outs, and Raquel was determined to try out this year. Last year she ended up bailing at the last minute because she had wet her diaper and neglected to bring a spare to change in to, but since then she adopted a policy of hiding an extra diaper and changing supplies in a secret pocket of her backpack. Raquel picked up her backpack and made her war downstairs for breakfast.

Seeing that it was still early in the morning Raquel was the first of the Cooper’s kids to make it down for breakfast. Jennifer and Cameron Cooper, her foster parents, were in the kitchen. Jennifer was making pancakes and Cameron drinking coffee while reading the morning paper.

“Morning Raquel,” Jennifer said in a sing songy manner. “You’re up early. I haven’t finished making pancakes yet so you’ll have to wait a minute.” Raquel always liked Jennifer she was the pinnacle of a good mother. She had a love and passion for all of her kids including Raquel who was their only adopted child. She was also a professor at a local community college which Raquel always thought of as one of the most “mom-like” jobs a person could have. Her hazel colored hair fell to the bottom of her neck as she danced rhythmically to a song she was humming while she cooked.

Raquel set awkwardly next to Cameron Cooper while he read the paper. For every Jennifer there was a Cameron, who seemed to be living proof that opposites not only attract but somehow tolerate each other’s company long enough to procreate. Cameron was a gruff serious man who worked as one of the more vicious prosecuting attorney’s in South Carolina. He had always been, annoyed or angered by Raquel’s presence, at least from Raquel’s point of view. Raquel always found this odd considering he was the one that suggested adoption in the first place. Raquel could only guess that when he said adoption he didn’t mean adopt the broken girl with the bladder issues because that seemed to be the biggest sticking point he had with Raquel, often passive aggressively noting how expensive it was to keep her supplied with day and night time diapers, or how their biological kids were potty trained by 2. Raquel tried not to hate him too much though, after all the last 4 foster homes only served to take the broken girl and break her even more. Compared to that, passive aggression was a cake walk that Raquel would much rather take.

“Wet the bed again?” Mr. Copper asked frankly.

“Yes sir,” Raquel answered meekly. “I had nightmares last night.”

“Well that’s a better excuse than usual but still a bad one.”

“Cameron!” Jennifer scolded. “Lay off of the poor girl will you, she’s had this problem all of her life I don’t think it’s going to stop just because you chastise her about it.” Mr. Copper mumbled something under his breath as Mrs. Copper put a plate of pancakes down in front of Raquel. “So you going to try out for the cheer squad this year?”

“Yeah Sarah and I practiced my routine all summer.” Sarah was the Cooper’s oldest child, the spitting image of her mother only she let her hazel hair grow out longer. She had become somewhat of a high school hero as she led the cheer team to their first ever appearance in the state competition as a freshman, and continued to lead them there throughout her 4 years as the squads captain. Now Sarah was away at college and Raquel hoped to carry on her foster sister’s legacy, and her passion and skill at dancing meant she could if only she could get over her nerves and bladder control issues.

Raquel began greedily eating her pancakes, of all the foster homes she had been too this one had the best cook, and she had even lived above a restaurant at one point. Jennifer offered a plate to her husband but he simply stuck his coffee cup in the air as a sign of no. Jennifer finally sat down with her own plate.

“Raquel if you’re finished could you wake the twins up for me.” Raquel nodded having just finished inhaling the last of her pancakes and made her way to the twin’s room. Raquel peeked into the room and could tell from the faint sounds of giggling that the twins were attempting to fake sleep.

“I sure hope Erica and Andy aren’t asleep,” Raquel said in a sarcastic tone. “Because then it would be a real surprise when I body slammed them,” She said playfully laying on top of Andy who immediately started screaming happily. Erica was quick to come to her brother’s rescue. She lept on top of Raquel from her bed.

“Get off my brother evil monster,” she said playfully.

“Oh no I am defeated blegh,” Raquel said falling on the ground mellow dramatically much to the joy of the twins. The twins Eric and Andy were the Cooper’s youngest kids one boy, Andy, and one girl, Erica. Despite not being identical twins they were very much alike aside from gender differences. They had also inherited the iconic Cooper hazel hair. The twins might have been the cutest thing on the planet to Raquel, they were constantly happy and were quick to accept her as a big sister and always looked up to her as one. They were both rapidly approaching 7 years old which meant that this was probably the last year they would be sleeping in the same room as Sarah’s room was already being renovated for Erica to have her own space.

“Ok you two mom wants you ready for school so hop to it,” Raquel said peeling Erica off of her. “Hurry up or you’re going to be late.” She said leaving them to their own devices. She returned to the kitchen to find that Mr. Cooper had already left. “I think I’m going to walk to school today,” Raquel said as she picked up her backpack.”

“Not so fast come here,” Mrs. Cooper commanded. Raquel approached her and was greeted with a slobbery kiss on her forehead.

“Aww mom,” Raquel complained wiping her forehead off. Mrs. Cooper laughed and pushed Raquel out of the door.

“Have a good day call me if you need anything,” Mrs. Cooper yelled as Raquel began walking to school.

“Ok love you,” Raquel shouted back.

Raquel made the rather uneventful walk to school and immediately began filling her usual role of wall flower by blending in with the background of all the other students. She didn’t get far before being spotted by her friend Alicia Kent. Alicia and Raquel had met last summer at a dance class and were friends all through freshman year. Little did Alicia know that Raquel desperately wanted the two to be more than friends, and had spent the last year working to make that happen. They had been separated over the summer as Alicia went to Florida with her grandparents and Raquel was hoping to rekindle the hopefully romantic friendship.

“So how was your summer?” Alicia said curious.

“It was all right,” Raquel began. “Dance class wasn’t the same without you so I ended up quitting and hanging out with Sarah most of the time.”

“You didn’t need that class anyway, you were already better than most of the teachers.”

“I don’t know about that,” Raquel said modestly even though she knew it was true. “How about you? How was sunny Florida.”

“Well.” Alicia said with a coy grin. “You know Chase Collins the quarter back?” Chase Collins stereotypical jock #42, Raquel thought to herself.

“Yes I’ve heard of him.”

“Well it turns out his parents own a beach house in the same town my grandparents do.” Stereotypical rich jock, Raquel mentally added to her last thought.

“What a coincidence, I bet you had fun with that,” Raquel said sarcastically.

“Well yeah actually, we sort of hit it off and. We’re going steady.”

“Oh,” Raquel said, though the way she said it hid the sheer amount of dread she felt in her heart. Was she just imaging the mutual attraction the two shared? She thought she had finally found the one she could take a chance on and be herself with, but right at the moment of fulfillment it was taken away from her by stereotypical rich jock asshole #42 Chase Collins. Raquel struggled to keep a straight face as Alicia went on and on about him. About his huge arms, how strong he was, his new car. With each item added to the list of reasons Chase is awesome Raquel felt more and more heartbroken. What was that summer they spent together in dance class? Alicia had called Raquel’s dancing beautiful and sexy, had called her beautiful and sexy. Was that just a game to her? Was Raquel just projecting, hoping too much that it was real?

“Hey you in there?” Alicia said snapping Raquel out of her trance. “You almost walked into the wall this your first class right? English?”

“Oh sorry,” Raquel said coming out of her trance. “I didn’t get a lot of sleep last night so I’m a little out of it.”

“Well lucky you’ve got me to keep you entertained through class huh?”

“Yeah,” Raquel said unenthusiastically. She was not looking forward to another hour of Chase Collins talk from the girl she loved. A love that until now she thought was reciprocated.

OFFICIAL RULING:

Given the fact that Emily91 explicitly stated that she gave her blessings to anyone who wished to continue her story, this homage is completely legitimate. I'm looking forward to reading it.

It does bring up an interesting question, though: under what circumstances, if any, should a reader be allowed to "take over" a "dead" story? Goodness knows everyone here probably has favorite unfinished stories out there written by no longer active authors. Is it reasonable to apply some metric to these stories that renders them, or at least their plots and characters, public domain after being abandoned for a certain amount of time? If attempts are made to contact the author without success? Or do we just let them remain as they are, sadly incomplete? Emily91 gave her permission; few authors do so, and the body of unfinished ABDL literature grows and grows.

As writers, what do you think? If you abandoned a piece for, say, three or four years, and someone wanted to pick it up and finish it, how would you feel if (a) you were still here and had no interest in it anymore and they asked permission? or (b) you were no longer in the community and impossible to locate, so they did it anyway with all respect given to you as original author, and somewhere down the road you discovered it?

[End of quote]

personally the only reason I leave something unfinished is if I didn't like the idea or if it wasn't going the way I wanted it too, so I wouldn't particularly care if someone else took the idea at that point. They might be able to make it work where I couldn't. If at all possible I would appreciate at least being asked first, though I don't think I would actively attempt to stop them if they didn't ask. That's just me though I think most people would be a bit more protective of their ideas and would be mad if you didn't ask before taking the idea even if it's dead. If they weren't able to be contacted though that's a completely different scenario. It's not possible to talk to them and negotiate and use the idea with their permission because they aren't there to give it. I think in that case the person doesn't have any intention to continue or defend the work any more then it's fair game. Definitely always give credit to the original though that's just common decency.

Content: I always found it weirdly distracting when actual brands show up in an ab/dl story so you won't really see me use an actual brand name like dynites or pampers, but for all intents and purposes the pull ups she wears are just slightly cuter goodnites. In my eyes at least drynites/goodnites are just bigger sized easy ups that are harder to tear open so that's why I described them as a pull up because that's what they are to me anyways.

Content: Chapter 2

Alicia Kent Alicia Kent Alicia Kent. It’s all Raquel could think about during her first day back at school. Ever since she dropped the bombshell that she was dating Chase Collins of all people instead of her. Raquel could think about nothing else. She was angry, confused, betrayed, and, though she hated admitting it, jealous toward Chase Collins. Of course Alicia would chose him over her. He's the star quarterback, he has all of the screaming fans and cheerleaders, and he has the money to take her nice places in even nicer cars. Raquel was just a broken orphan girl with a bladder issue.

This train of thought continued until 4 periods into the school day, she was momentarily distracted form her thoughts by the bell ringing for lunch. Once Raquel’s mind was distracted for long enough, she began to realize that, in fact, she had gotten rather hungry, and this primal urge drove her onward to the cafeteria.

Raquel brought her own lunch from home. While Madison High School had above average school food, nothing could beat a homemade Jennifer Cooper meal. Even her fried bologna sandwiches were culinary master pieces to Raquel. Seeing as she didn’t have to wait in line with the other students Raquel was quick to get an empty table all to herself and she eagerly removed her lunch from her backpack. Before she could sit down she was approached by her only other friend outside of Alicia Kent, Ryan James.

Ryan was the type of skateboarder kid 80’s pop songs were written about. And unlike most kids his age who simply borrowed the moniker as a fashion statement, Ryan actually did skateboard in his spare time. As if just to prove this point one could usually always find one of his skateboards sticking out of one of the pockets of his backpack. The deck and wheels always scratched or broken in places from years of wear and tear. He also dressed like a skater. Unlike the tears in jeans that were there for style, each of the holes in Ryan’s jeans and shirts told the tale of another epic wipe out and he had so many that he couldn’t remember how he got most of them. He even had to remove a few items from his wardrobe because they were violating the school’s dress code. Constant exposure to the sun left his skin fairly tan and made his dirty blonde hair seem all the more appropriate.

Ryan ran up to Raquel abruptly. “There you are,” He said in a friendly tone. “I was wondering if I was going to see you at all this year.” He moved in for a handshake but was shocked when Raquel returned with a hug.

“It’s good to see you Ryan,” Raquel said a tad emotionally

“Woah don’t surprise me like that,” Ryan said alarmed.

“Oh sorry,” Raquel apologized. “I didn’t mean too. I’ve just been having a bad day.” Raquel silently cursed herself. Raquel had always known that Ryan had a crush on her, ever since they met in English class last year. It wasn’t long into the relationship before Raquel killed that dream by telling him she was a lesbian, but much to her surprise he insisted on being friends anyway. Never the less Raquel was always careful around him. She knew he still had feelings for her, feelings that she couldn’t return, so she always tried to maintain a professional distance with him so as not to hurt his feelings any more than she already had.

“What’s got you so down?” Ryan asked sitting down.

“It’s Alicia, she ended up …” Raquel was silent for a moment. As she sat down she noticed that her pull up was wet. She didn’t remember when she had the accident, but could only assume that it happened because she was too concerned with Alicia. Well darn there goes my extra pull up, Raquel thought to herself. I’ll just have to focus on staying dry until the cheer tryouts are over.

“Hey you there?” Rayn said breaking Raquel out of her mini trance.

“Yeah sorry, I think someone must have spilled something in this seat and it startled me,” Raquel congratulated herself on the quick and effective lie as she scooted down slightly to the left of where she was. She tried hard not to think about the wet pull up she was in as she continued her conversation with Ryan. “Like I was saying, Alicia is going out with Chase Collins now.”

“Alicia Kent? The one you had the hots for?” Raquel nodded yes. “And Chase Collins? The quarterback?” Raquel nodded yes again. “Man that really sucks Raquel. I thought you said Alicia was in to girls too.”

“I thought she was,” Raquel said wistfully. “I guess it was wishful thinking.”

“Join the club,” Ryan said commenting on how eerily similar Raquel’s situation now was to his own situation last year.

“Sorry I didn’t mean to bring up bad memories,” Raquel apologized.

“I was just kidding,” Ryan said with a wave of his hand. “Besides at least you stayed single. I can’t imagine if you had started dating Chase.”

“Well you don’t have to worry about that,” Raquel said beginning to eat her sandwich. “Rich jock is not my type.”

“Plus he’s a dude,” Ryan said getting his own lunch out of his backpack. “Anyway why are we still talking about him? I didn’t become friends with a lesbian to talk about all of the cute guys.”

Raquel giggled at this. “You have a way with words Ryan.”

“It worked didn’t it?”

“Yes it did.”

“So what else is going on your life? Maybe something a little more upbeat.”

“Well I’m going to try out for the cheer squad again this year.”

“Great!” Ryan said happily. “What ever happened last time? You ran off before you could perform.”

“Nerves,” Raquel lied. The wet pull up she was wearing reminded her of the real reason.

“Well just be sure to shake the jitters out before you go on,” Ryan said helpfully. “I’m not going to be able to sit in on the try outs this time. Mom wants me home early. Besides last time they stared at me like I was a creeper.”

“We weren’t even friends back then so you were being a creeper!” Raquel said playfully.

“Yeah I know and I got caught,” Ryan countered. “So now I’ll have to watch it at home through my hidden camera in the locker room.”

“Oh god,” Raquel aid laughing. “The day you figure out how to set up a hidden camera is the day I sprout wings and fly.”

“You caught me, I’m sorry that I’m not secretly spying on the cheer squad. You’re the only one that gets to do that.”

“Hey! I am not spying on them.”

“Oh so you aren’t going to be enjoying the free show in the locker room? Not even a little?” Raquel turned a bright shade of red at the comment.

“Only a little,” Raquel said playing along with Ryan’s game.

“Raquel you clever girl you,” Ryan said coyly.

“Ok ok enough teasing,” Raquel said becoming increasingly more embarrassed.

“Alright,” Ryan said defeated. It was at this point Raquel began to have a familiar feeling. Like a bead of sweat running down her leg, only it wasn’t sweat her pull up was starting to leak.

“Oh shoot,” Raquel said alarmed, but she quickly recomposed herself before Ryan caught on to the real reason for the outburst. “Sorry Ryan I’m going to cut out early I need to use the bathroom before class.” Raquel quickly ate the last of her sandwich before running out of the cafeteria waving by to Ryan.

“All right see you later,” Ryan said slightly alarmed by Raquel’s quick exit.

Raquel quickly made her way to the girl’s restroom and locked herself inside of a stall. One of the benefits of doing this in the middle of lunch was that the bathroom was empty giving Raquel all the privacy she needed to perform this sensitive task. Luckily another thing that made this easier was wearing a skirt. Raquel hoisted her skirt up well above her waist revealing the wet pull up. The designs on the front completely faded, incriminating evidence that Raquel had wet the pull up. Raquel tore open the sides and removed it carefully placing it on the toilet lid. She then opened her backpack’s secret diaper change pocket which housed a new diaper and some wipes. She gave herself a quick wipe and then stepped in to the new pull up one foot at a time, and the finally pulled her skirt back down to the appropriate level. Raquel was still the only one in the restroom so she quickly disposed of the used pull up in the trash before anyone else came in, she always secretly wondered if the janitors were ever concerned that there were pull ups in the girl’s bathroom but she was fairly confident they couldn’t be traced back to her without some kind of DNA test. With that done Raquel turned around and looked at her skirt in the mirror. There was a small wet spot where the leak occurred, but nothing too noticeable. Raquel snapped back to attention when two other girls walked in to the bathroom. They seemed to be oblivious to Raquel so she took the opportunity to sulk out and to her next class.

The rest of Raquel’s day went by without incident. With her constant concentration and a little bit of dehydration, Raquel managed to make it to the end of the day without wetting her pull up. She stepped out of the bathroom having actually used it and confidently walked to the gymnasium where the cheer tryouts were being held.

Raquel quietly walked in to the gym. Seated in the front rows of the bleachers were the current cheer squad members, currently out of their uniforms sitting around talking. Higher up was a small gathering of random students that, for whatever reason, wanted to watch the tryouts. And finally on the floor of the gym sitting at a small table were a panel of three other cheer leaders, all in uniform and Coach Miles, the coach in charge of the squad. Raquel could only guess that these were the judges. In front of them were all of the potential cheer leaders each of whom were either standing around nervously or practicing their routine. Without worrying about her bladder, Raquel felt oddly calm and in control and was ready for the tryouts to start. After a few minutes one of the cheer leaders at the table stood up, Raquel correctly assumed that this was the captain.

“Ok everyone thank you for showing up. My name is Kelsey Webster captain of the Madison High cheer squad.”

Kelsey was a fierce looking person. She had long blonde hair the flowed down to the middle of her back. She was a little on the short side, being only a few inches taller than Raquel, but she made up for it in muscle mass. The added muscle gave Kelsey a curvy appearance and went a long way to making her intimidating despite her short size. Raquel also couldn’t help but notice that she filled out her cheer uniform very well, which was saying a lot. Madison high’s cheer uniforms were on the modest side not even showing a hint of midriff, with sleeves up to the wrists and a skirt that was more of a short dress hanging just above the knee. Despite the modesty of the outfit, Kelsey managed to own it like it was made specifically for her. Despite the fierce and intimidating way she stood Kelsey spoke surprisingly calm and sweetly but with the hint that she could change her tone if you made her mad.

“Myself and the panel behind me consisting of our two senior cheer leaders and Coach Miles will be evaluating your routines,” Kelsey took this time to get a boom box from the table behind her and put it on the floor. “I hope you all brought your own music, if not we have two or three cd’s you can pick from. When we call on you please come up to the table and sign your name on the paper, and begin your routine. Kristina here will stand by at the boom box and hit play after a count down.” Kristina demonstrated the countdown as Kelsey said this, it was a simple countdown from 3 to 1 using her fingers and ending with a point. “We only have a few slots open this year so not everyone will make it in, but don’t let that discourage you. Try your best and above all have fun.” Coach miles took this opportunity to speak up.

“One more thing before we start,” Coach Miles said quickly.

Coach Miles was a not so old woman that was showing her age too much. Despite only being a little over 40 she had a full head of short grey hair. Despite her appearance though she was full of energy and strength exemplified by the track suit she was wearing.

“I just want to say, real quickly, that we judge on technique not how sexy you look. So please let’s try and keep it pg-13 everyone.”

“Man coach buzzkill,” one of the cheer leaders said mockingly. The others including Kelsey laughed at this. Coach Miles raised up her hands in defeat. “It was just a suggestion, someone around here has to be the old stick in the mud. Alright the floor is yours.”

One by one the cheer leader hopefuls went up and performed their routine. None of them could hold a candle to Raquel, who put countless hours of practice into this moment. She waited impatiently as others went before her with mediocre routines. Raquel was bouncing with anticipation she couldn’t contain herself. During her jitters though she felt something strange on her bottom. She instinctively went to scratch but was shocked when she felt something mush against her. Oh god not now. She thought. She had messed her pull up, only a little at first but thinking about it led to her involuntarily push more out. Raquel sighed hopelessly, there was no stopping it now. And there she stood, a 15 year old girl about to try out for the cheer squad in a messy pull up. Not even a pull up. A pull up is for people who only wet occasionally and have small accidents. It was a messy diaper. Something babies wear because they can’t help but mess themselves.

Raquel stood mortified as everyone continued doing their routines. The diaper kept the mess constantly pinned between Raquel’s behind and the seat of her diaper, even standing still a bit of the mess constantly touched her bare skin. It was a constant reminder of the accident she had and how she wasn’t remotely in control of her own body. Raquel tried to move around to get more comfortable but the more she moved the more she spread the mess around until most of her diaper area was covered in it, and it acted like a glue keeping the diaper uncomfortably stuck to Raquel. Before Raquel knew it the rest of the tryouts had down on the bleachers, only she remained, the only one that hadn’t done her routine.

“Ok kid you’re next,” Kelsey said encouragingly. Raquel just froze. To her everyone could see right through her. Like they had x-ray vision and could see that she had messed her diaper and had smeared it all over herself with her constant fidgeting. “Look I know it’s a little nerve racking, but we’ve got a schedule to keep here.”

“I – I – I – I” Raquel stammered.

“If you’re having this much trouble in front of us this might not be the thing for you,” Kelsey said honestly. Raquel stammered some more. “Ok I think we’re done here.”

“No wait,” Raquel finally managed to speak. “I practiced I … just give me a minute.”

“Look no offense, but we aren’t going to have time for nerves when competition starts. Its tough work being on this squad and it doesn’t look like you can handle it. We’re done here,” Kelsey said more finally. The rest of the squad to disband. Kelsey approached Raquel as everyone was filing out. “Hey look kid its ok. It’s not for everyone don’t beat yourself up about it.”

“No no stay away,” Raquel said panicked, worried that Kelsey might smell the mess she made.

“Hey easy, I’m just trying to help.” Raquel abruptly ran past Kelsey out of the gym.

“Man what was her problem?” Kelsey’s friend said as she approached the situation from the bleachers.

“Probably just nerves Sadie. It happens every year. Some people just can’t take the pressure. I wouldn’t worry about it, we don’t need people like that any way.”

“Wow that’s a little harsh don’t you think?” Sadie said sympathetically.

“It’s the truth.”

Content: Chapter 3

Raquel waited impatiently toward the back of the crowd of students waiting for their bus. It had been a few minutes since her accident and the time gave her a chance to calm down and think rationally about the situation. She has messed herself, the uncomfortable stickiness in her diaper reminded her of that. She also ran out crying like a baby in front of the head cheerleader. Not that she could’ve stayed and performed her routine with a messy diaper, but she acknowledged that she could’ve exited a little more gracefully, now there’s very little chance she would ever get on the squad. She had to try though. As much as she hated doing it Raquel knew that if she named dropped her sister Sarah they would likely let her do her routine tomorrow, but that was tomorrow, at the moment Raquel was more concerned with getting home as soon as possible with no one noticing the now pretty obvious smell emanating from her backside.

Everyone waiting in the hall gasped as another loud boom of thunder caused the lights in the school to flicker.

Unfortunately for Raquel armageddon was currently happening outside. Walking home in a messy diaper would have been bad enough, but throw in a thunderstorm and that meant Raquel was forced to take the bus or risk getting blown away or catching pneumonia. She didn’t enjoy the idea of trying to keep her mess a secret while on a bus filled with other people. The bus was a miserable enough experience in a clean diaper, but she didn’t have a choice.

Raquel gave a nervous gulp as her bus pulled up. She made her way through the crowd of other students nervously. Several of them took note of the smell but couldn’t place it to Raquel. She finally made her way on to the bus, but since she was one of the last students on the only remaining seat was in the back near Chase Collins and the jocks. Raquel didn’t want to be around Chase on a good day and this wasn’t a good day. She just put her head down and tried to ignore them.

“Woah what’s the smell?” One of the jocks asked. Raquel momentarily panicked.

“It’s probably just my pits bro,” Chase Collins answered sticking the other jocks head under his arm.

“Aww rank dude,” One of the other jocks said laughing. This sort of conversation continued for a majority of the bus ride, Raquel struggling internally with how annoying this group of people was and how sitting in her mess made them even more annoying. Raquel shifted her posture a little trying to get a little more comfortable unknowingly revealing her diaper as she did.

“Woah is that a diaper?” One of the jocks said. Raquel had tuned out the jocks conversation but on hearing the word diaper she froze panicked.

“That is a diaper,” One of the other jocks confirmed. “That’s the kind my bed wetter little sister wears.” Raquel shifted her posture so it was no longer revealing her diaper. She didn’t look at the jocks who continued to accost her but instead looked out the window trying to fight back tears.

“I bet that smell was her,” Chase said laughing.

“Aww dude, did she crap her diaper?” One of the other jocks said waving his hand in front of his face.

“I bet she did. I just hope her mommy gets here soon to change her,” Chase said in a mocking babyish tone. “Is your mommy going to change you little baby?” Chase asked Raquel directly. Raquel didn’t respond. “Hey! I’m talking to you,” Chase said more aggressively throwing an empty bottle at Raquel. “Hey babies are supposed to answer back,” Chase said scooting over to Raquel’s seat. Raquel was panicking as the large jock invaded her personal space. She curled up into a fetal position against the wall of the bus as far away from Chase as possible.

“Just go away!” Raquel said crying.

“I just want to know if your mommy’s is going to change you. Me and the boys are having a hard time putting up with that smell.”

“Please just leave me alone,” Raquel begged. She saw one of Chase’s hands move toward her skirt. She abruptly switched from defensive to offensive when Chase attempted to touch her. She uncurled and delivered a hard slap to Chase’s face, cutting it with her fingernails. Chase held his face where Raquel slapped him in pain as he felt blood from the scratch start to ooze out. “BACK OFF CREEP!” Raquel yelled. This scream got the whole buses attention and they were all looking at Chase accusingly. Chase raised his hands.

“Fine,” he said more to the angry crowd than to Raquel. “I’m not in to babies anyway.” The crowd eventually died down once Chase took his seat again.

Fortunately for Raquel that awful encounter with Chase Collins took up most of her bus ride, and the bus soon pulled up to her house. She quickly got off. The driver attempted to stop her, and ask if she was ok, but Raquel just ran off into her house without even hearing him. She was still shaken from her ordeal, and quickly ran to her room eager to get out of the messy diaper, she could already feel a major diaper rash from how long she’d been in it. Raquel ran to her room and closed the door. Once she was alone she finally broke down and started crying. The stress from the day compounding with years of other abuse that began bubbling to the surface left Raquel loudly weeping. She fell to the floor landing on her messy bottom which only added to her misery.

“Raquel you ok?” Came Jennifer Cooper’s voice from the hall. “You ran up here awfully fast.” Raquel didn’t have time to wonder why Jennifer was home or curse herself for not locking the door before the concerned parent opened the door to Raquel’s room and saw her crying on the floor. She quickly shut the door behind her and went to comfort Raquel. Raquel buried her head in Jennifer’s chest and continued to cry. Somehow having someone there that cared only made her want to cry more. As if having someone that cared about her crying only made her cry even harder for all of the times she had to hold it in. Jennifer held Raquel close and let the girl cry. She lifted Raquel’s skirt to confirm what she had started to smell. “Raquel baby have you been in this since school?” She could feel Raquel move her head yes against her chest. “Honey we need to get you changed you’re going to get a serious rash.”

“Ok,” Raquel said still crying. She pushed herself off of Jennifer to change herself but Jennifer stopped her.

“Just lay down honey I’ll take care of it.” Jennifer removed a large changing mat she kept under Raquel’s bed. Jennifer bought it when she learned of Raquel’s problem as a show of faith that she would be accommodating. At that point though Raquel had already been changing herself for years. So, while she appreciated the gesture, it was only used a few times before Raquel told Jennifer that she could do it herself. Raquel lay down on the soft mat still sobbing. The mat had a strap that went across the chest and two velcro cuffs attached by a short length of nylon to the top of the mat that was meant to keep hands out of the way during a change. Jennifer gently snapped the strap across Raquel’s chest and put her wrists in the cuffs. Raquel didn’t mind the restraints partly because she was still crying, and partly because they were fairly loose and meant more as gentle reminders then something that was actually supposed to keep her still, Raquel could easily get out of them if she wanted, but in this case she didn’t feel like moving all that much anyway.

Raquel continued sobbing as Jennifer changed her. Raquel was thankful that the chest strap discouraged her from looking up so she didn’t have to see the mess herself when Jennifer opened the sides of the pull up to remove it from Raquel and throw it away. Jennifer grabbed Raquel’s ankles and raised her legs up as she started the long process of cleaning Raquel’s diaper area. By the time Jennifer had gotten Raquel clean, Raquel had calmed down quite a bit but was still sobbing a little mainly from the constant stinging of the diaper rash she had gotten on her bottom.

“You’ve already got a pretty bad diaper rash,” Jennifer said concerned. “This should help a little.” Raquel felt something cold touch her skin as Jennifer gently rubbed rash cream on Raquel. Raquel gave a sigh of relief and calmed down now that the pain from the rash was gone. Jennifer grabbed one of Raquel’s night diapers and, after a generous application of baby powder, taped it snugly on. “There we go,” Jennifer said letting Raquel out of the restraints. “All better?” Raquel’s answer came in a hug. She grabbed on to Jennifer tightly as she let out the last of her sobs.

“I’m sorry,” Raquel said sadly. “I’m sorry you had to deal with that. I'm such a freak.”

“There’s nothing to be sorry about. And you're not a freak you just can’t help it. You know I’m always willing to help you no matter what.” Jennifer helped Raquel up.

“Maybe I should change into a pull up so I can …” Raquel was cut off by Jennifer.

“I’m not going to hear it. You wear yourself out every day trying to fix this problem, you deserve a break. Just use your diapers and I’ll change you when you're ready. Don't worry about it tonight just relax and try to calm down."

“But what about,” Raquel began.

“Cameron’s pulling an all-nighter at the office," Jennifer said already knowing what Raquel was worried about. "And since the storm knocked out one of the generators on campus you’ve got me for the rest of the night. I’ll talk to Cameron about this tomorrow, you shouldn’t be getting this upset over accidents and most of that is his fault for pushing you too hard,” Jennifer ended on a stern manner.

Raquel followed Jennifer out of her room wearing just a t-shirt and her diaper, feeling a lot better after Jennifer changed her. Erica and Andy were playing a video game in the living room when Jennifer and Raquel walked in.

“Now Erica Andy listen up,” The two paused their game to pay attention to their mother. “Raquel’s had a bad day, so she’s already in her night diapers. I don’t need to remind you two not to make fun do I?” The twins nodded no as if the idea never entered their minds. “Good I’m going to get started on some mac and cheese for dinner, you three play nice.” Raquel moved to the couch behind the twins crinkling loudly as she moved with nothing to muffle the sound. Once the twins finished their game the snuggled into Raquel on the couch.

“What happened Raquel?” Andy asked concerned.

“Did you have an accident in school?” Erica asked thinking the most likely reason.

“Yes I did,” Raquel admitted

“But I thought you had accidents all the time?” Erica asked confused.

“Not this kind,” Raquel said hinting the truth without saying it explicitly.

“Oh,” Andy said realizing why Raquel was upset. “It’s ok Raquel we don’t care if you need diapers.”

"Yeah we love you no matter what," Eric added as she and Andy hugged Raquel.

“You two always know how to cheer me up.” Raquel and the twins watched tv until Jennifer came into the living room with a large bowl of mac and cheese. Without being asked Raquel ran into the kitchen and got bowls for everyone. Jennifer lovingly gave each of her kids a generous helping of mac and chees before putting on a movie for them to watch. During the movie Raquel felt the familiar urge to use the bathroom. She initially instinctively fought to hold it in, but she remembered what Jennifer had said and purposefully let go. It was so much easier for her to just let go like that, having to constantly worry about making it to the bathroom really had put a drain on her. Now that she didn’t have to worry about it she had more energy and felt happier. Once the movie ended Jennifer made everyone start working on homework. Raquel didn’t have a lot but she did have some math problems to do. As she was getting her stuff out of her backpack Jennifer stopped her and peeked into the back of her diaper.

“You’re a little wet Raquel. Are you ready for a change?” Jennifer asked caringly.

“I’m fine,” Raquel said blushing. Raquel knew the diaper could hold another and she was used to the feeling of a wet diaper so didn’t find it uncomfortable. She thought about putting up a mild protest at Jennifer checking her diaper like that, but decided against it. It probably wasn’t a bad idea to check it every now and then, and it’s not like she minded all that much anyway. All of the other foster homes she had been in were happy to leave her in a used diaper all day which meant it was usually up to Raquel to ask for a change or, more likely, change herself. Having a guardian actually check to see if she was wet and ask if she wanted to be changed was nice.

“You just let me know when you're ready for a change and I'll fix you up.”

"Sure thing mom," Raquel said starting on her homework.

Raquel finished her homework before the twins and so sneaked off to her room to mess around on the internet before bed. Her phone started ringing after only a few minutes of browsing it was her sister Sarah. Raquel slowly answered the phone not incredibly eager to explain to her older sister the day’s events. Raquel was immediately hit with Sarah running a mile a minute as soon as she answered her phone.

“Raquel Raquel you have to tell me everything. How did it go? Did they love your routine? Does everyone miss me yet?”

“Listen sis,” Raquel said stopping her sister. “I didn’t go through with it. I had another accident.”

“No,” Sarah said in disbelief. “We worked so hard, and I know I saw you do that routine perfectly in a wet pull up before. Why didn’t you go through with it?”

“It wasn’t wet Sarah,” Raquel said humiliated.

“Oh,” Sarah said a bit more seriously. “Hey listen accidents happen Raquel don’t worry about it. Just try again tomorrow. what are the chances of that happening twice right?”

“Yeah I’m sure if I give your name they’ll let me try again, and it was probably just a freak accidnet.”

“Yeah see no problems.” Sarah noticed a long silence in Raquel. “No problems?” she repeated as a question.

“You probably think I’m a baby don’t you?” Raquel said defeated.

“No! Raquel you know I don’t see you that way.” Sarah said seriously. “You are my baby sister and I’m going to take care of you, look out for you, and give you a hard time like a big sister is supposed to. That doesn’t mean I think any less of you or look down on you, especially over something that you can’t help. Something that isn't even a big deal to me.”

“Really?” Raquel asked looking for a positive answer from her role model.

“Really,” Sarah said giving Raquel the positive answer. "Remember when you first came home with us. I went with mom to pick you up from the orphanage and we had to stay the night at a hotel because it was too far from home and I shared a bed with you."

"I remember wetting the bed real bad," Raquel said embarrassed.

"Yeah because you were so embarrassed about needing protection that you never changed out of your pull up from the orphanage and it leaked and soaked the whole bed me included."

"How is this supposed to make me feel better?"

"Mom and I both knew you were going to leak Raquel. It's not like we didn't know about your problem before we adopted you, and we didn't stop for bathroom breaks that whole trip so you were bound to leak if you weren't leaking already."

"Then why did you sleep in the bed with me?"

"Because I knew you were making a big deal out of it. You were on pins and needles the whole ride and could barely get to sleep as it was. I didn't want you to wake up all alone and I didn't want you to worry about it so I slept with you so that you'd wake me up too and I'd be there to help. And when you did wet the bed I stayed up with you for thirty minutes and changed the sheets for you because I was more worried about you than I was about my pajamas being soaked."

"Aww Sarah," Raquel said tearing up.

"I promise you Raquel you are more concerned about your bladder issues than mom or I are. We just want you to be happy. I don't care if you wear diapers to bed for the rest of your life Raquel, you'll still be my baby sister and I'll still love you."

"Thanks sis it means a lot that you did that for me."

"Now please, if we ever go on any more family trips, change before you go to bed I don't want to spend all night in wet pj's again," Sarah said in a joking tone

"Ok," Raquel said laughing. "Was that you giving me a hard time?"

“Yes it was. Now let’s change the subject to something happier and less mushy. Anything good happen to you today today.” Raquel and Sarah talked for a few hours about their day and how much they missed each other until Sarah had to hang up and get back to studying.

“Ok bye.” Raquel hung up. The conversation with her sister did a lot to bolster her self-esteem and she felt ready to take on the try outs tomorrow with renewed enthusiasm.

“Knock knock,” Jennifer said as she entered Raquel’s room. “It’s getting late and you need to be changed for bed.”

“Ok,” Raquel said as she laid down on the changing mat. She snapped the strap across her chest herself and let Jennifer put her wrists in the cuffs. “Thanks for this mom I needed it,” Raquel said as Jennifer started to wipe her clean.

“Come on Raquel changing diapers is mom duty number one. I’m happy to do it whenever you want me to.” Jennifer finished putting Raquel in a new diaper. “Hey try not to worry about this stuff so much ok."

"ok," Raquel said happily. Jennifer gave Raquel a pat on the bottom.

“Alright off to bed you’ve got school tomorrow.” Raquel obediently climbed into bed.

“Night mom, and thanks.” Raquel said as Jennifer turned the light in her room off.

“Good night sweetie.”

New chapter for you guys. I wanted to spend this chapter really showing how the Cooper's treat Raquel and her bladder issues. At least all of the Cooper's except Cameron and we'll get to him later. They don't really care if Raquel ever gets over it, they just accept her for who she is. It's also exploring a bit into how Raquel is the one blowing her problem out of proportion the most and how she's beating herself up over it when almost everyone that actually cares about her just wants her to be happy. Anyway as always hope you guys enjoyed it. This one ran a little long, expect the next one to be a bit shorter than this.

Content: Chapter 4

Raquel woke up the next morning full of confidence. The overwhelming support of her family pushed away all of the doubts and regrets she had about the day before. Even waking up in a soaked diaper didn’t bother her as much as it usually did. She got her shower and changed into her pull up with an unusual pep in her step. She remembered to pack three extra pull ups in her backpack instead of just one so there was no worrying about not having a change before her try outs. She quickly ate breakfast and was out the door commencing her normal walk to school when Ryan surprised her by rolling up on a skateboard behind her.

“What’s up?” Ryan asked enthusiastically. He stopped his skateboard in front of Raquel. “I heard you ran off from the cheer tryouts yesterday what happened?”

“Oh I had an upset stomach,” Raquel lied. “But it’s no big deal I’m sure they’ll let me try today if I do some name dropping.”

“Good ol’ Sarah Cooper,” Ryan said with a feigned sense of nostalgia. “Hop on, I got a long board so you can ride with me to school.”

“Are you sure you can do it with both of us on it at once?"

“Don’t worry you know I’m good, we won’t crash that hard.” Raquel laughed and cautiously stepped on the back of the long board. Ryan quickly put a helmet on her head.

“Hey!” Raquel protested. “Have you ever heard of helmet hair?”

“It’s just in case,” Ryan said defensively. “You’re lucky I don’t make you ride in a booster seat shorty,” Ryan said lightening the mood with a joke.

“Hey four foot nine is the magic number,” Raquel said proudly.

“No they changed it. It’s five foot 2 now.”

“What!” Raquel said panicking.

“Got ya!” Ryan said laughing as she pushed the skateboard off. Raquel hit Ryan on the arm. She held on to him as they sped off toward the school. “So I got to thinking last night,” Ryan said expertly maneuvering his skateboard down the side walk.

“This should be good,” Raquel said snarkily.

“If you’ve still got the hots for Alicia the best thing you can do is make her jealous right?”

“I don’t like where this is going.”

“Relax it’s strictly professional,” Ryan said. “You need to make Alicia jealous, and I’d like a date to the homecoming dance. Sounds like a good deal to me.”

“I don’t think that’ll work. Alicia isn’t the jealous type, and I don’t think she’d be jealous for a girl anyway.”

“Trust me it’ll work," Ryan said with confidence.

“When did you become an expert on women?”

“I’ve been out with more than you have.”

“That’s not exactly fair though I’m working with disadvantage.”

“Excuses excuses, besides what have you got to loose. If it doesn’t work at least you’ll get a free movie out of it.”

“Free movie?” Raquel asked confused. Ryan coyly removed two movie tickets from his back pocket with a big grin on his face. “Ryan I’m just not sure about this.”

“Hey think of it as a reward for making the cheer squad later today. Or as a happy distraction if you don’t make it.”

“Ok ok, I’ll catch a movie with you,” Raquel said falling to Ryan’s natural charm. “And I’ll be happy to go to the dance with you too, but I don’t want to go through with trying to make Alicia jealous. I’d rather not think about her at all if I can help it.”

“I can take that,” Ryan said with a shrug. “You may change your mind about Alicia though. Chase has a way of turning his girlfriends a little uhh…” Ryan was struggling to find the right word.

“Outgoing?” Raquel offered.

“Yeah that’s a nice way to say slutty.” Raquel hit him again.

The two finally rolled into the school’s parking lot. Ryan pulled up to a reclusive bush and hid his long board and Raquel’s helmet behind it.

“Thanks for the ride,” Raquel said as they made their way to the school. “Are you going to stay and watch me try out this time?”

“Yeah may as well I have to wait on you anyway. Unless you plan on walking to the theater.” The two separated and Raquel made her way through the rest of her classes. She ended up staying dry for most of the day and only had an accident during her last class. She quickly changed in the bathroom and made her way to gym where the cheerleaders had already started practice.

“Ok that was great girls,” Kelsey said as she effortlessly dismounted from the top of a pyramid. “But I think we can get to that final formation faster, let’s run it again from the third mark.” There was a series of groans from the others. “Hey practice makes perfect and if we want to win regionals we need to practice.” The rest of the cheer leaders gave her a serious look. “Ok we’ll take five,” Kelsey said taking the hint. "Take a breather, drink some water, and be ready to run it again when we get back." The rest of the cheerleaders began to tiredly make their way to the bleachers. Raquel took the opportunity to approach Kelsey.

“Excuse me,” Raquel said professionally.

“Oh hey I remember you,” Kelsey said happily. “You ran off yesterday during the tryouts. What was up with that? Are you feeling all right?”

“Oh yeah sorry about that,” Raquel apologized. “I must have gotten food poisoning or something my stomach was upset.”

“I guess it’s for the best you ran off then, wouldn’t want you making a mess on the floor right?” Kelsey said joking. Raquel didn’t find the joke all that funny as that’s basically what happened.

“Anyway I feel better now I was hoping I could try out today.”

“Well that was a pretty firm deadline. I’ll talk it over with the squad and we’ll see,” Kelsey said in a way that seemed to suggest the answer would be yes.

“Well if it helps my sister Sarah Cooper helped me practice my routine.” At the mention of the name Sarah Cooper Kelsey’s expression turned sour.

“You’re Sarah Cooper’s sister?” Kelsey said noting the obvious racial difference.

“Adopted, I get that a lot.” Kelsey let out an angry breath through her nostrils.

“Sorry, but I don’t think we can let you try out past the cut off.”

“But you just said…”

“I just said no!” Kelsey said cutting Raquel off. “Run home and cry like you did yesterday. You're not getting on the squad.”

“I don’t understand,” Raquel said confused. “Did I say something wrong?”

“What seems to be the problem here Kelsey?” Coach Miles said approaching cautiously having taken notice of the heated conversation from where she was sitting.

“Nothing she was just leaving,” Kelsey said finally. “We aren’t accepting try outs past the cut off.”

“I’m afraid she’s right kid,” Coach Miles said a little more politely than Kelsey. “It’s there for a reason, but you can try again next year.”

“But my sister Sarah Cooper helped me with the routine,” Raquel pleaded. "I worked really hard on it."

“Sarah Cooper?” Coach Miles asked shocked. She too gave Raquel a quizzical look.

“Adopted sister,” Raquel clarified again. Kelsey gave Coach Miles a serious look.

“Coach you just said…” Kelsey began but she was cut off.

“Kelsey it's Sarah Cooper's sister. Adopted or not surely we can make an exception,” Coach Miles said already leading Raquel over to the center of the gym floor. Coach Miles got the boom box from yesterday back out and set it on the floor. “Ok I’m sure you know what to do.”

Raquel put her cd in the boom box, once the music started playing she was a different person. All of her inhibitions and fears melted away when she moved to the music. This was it, this was why she loved dancing. She could be someone else, be the powerful confident person she wanted to be. Her body moved gracefully with the kind of poise and precision that made the complex moves she was performing look effortless. Raquel demanded that attention of the other cheer leaders with her routine and they watched with amazement as she moved with the beat. On the final note of the song Raquel landed a front flip and stood panting with her arms outstretched in the air. The rest of the squad watching from the bleachers clapped as she finished the routine.

“Great job!” Coach Miles said clapping. “Kelsey make sure that miss Cooper here gets a place on the squad. If we get a few more of her we’ll win regionals no problem.” Kelsey was fuming.

“Ok we’ve had our break," Kelsey said her anger starting to show through in a more bossy tone. "Run through the third quarter routine.” The cheer leaders started practicing a simple routine while Kelsey spoke with Raquel.

“Listen,” Kelsey said authoritatively to Raquel. “You need to remember who is in charge of the squad understand. You listen to me, and you do what I say. I don’t tolerate insubordination especially from people that shouldn’t be on the squad to begin with.”

“Did I do something to you because…” Raquel started but she was cut off.

“Shut up!” Kelsey said handing Raquel a form. “Fill this out and bring it with you tomorrow make sure you get the right size for your uniform. You have to pay for it out of pocket if we need to replace it. You start tomorrow you’ll be one of our backups.”

“Backups?”

“Maybe if you had tried out on time you would be a starter.”

“What’s your problem with me?” Raquel said finally having enough of Kelsey's hostile attitude.

“You are my problem!” Kelsey said angrily. “You and you’re whole family are my problem! Just stay out of my way and don’t forget who is in charge of the squad, me not you. We’re done talking, be here tomorrow,” Kelsey said storming off.

“Wow what’s her problem?” Ryan said approaching Raquel from his position in the bleachers where he was watching Raquel’s performance.

“I don’t know?” Raquel said angrily. “Talk about you teen movie soap opera though.”

“Yeah she’s a queen bee if ever there was one.”

“Let’s stop talking about it. I got on the squad so you owe me a celebratory movie.”

Ryan led Raquel back to the bush where his long board from that morning remain undisturbed. Raquel and Ryan skated from school to the theater in town and watched the latest super hero movie together. Even though her interaction with Kelsey caused her to worry a bit, Raquel was happy that she made it on to the squad after all, so she was more than happy to celebrate with Ryan. After the movie Ryan took taking Raquel back home. The path from the theater to the Cooper house brought them past Mr. Cooper’s law office.

“Woah is that Mr. Cooper’s car?” Ryan asked pointing to the fierce looking sports car parked out front as he scooted past on the long board Raquel holding on to him from behind.

“No,” Raquel answered. “I don’t know whose car that is, but I think it’s a little steamy in there.” Raquel said pointing out how there were two people in the car passionately kissing. Ryan couldn't help but stop to try and get a closer look, teenage curiosity getting the better of his common sense.

“Wow talk about a free show huh,” Ryan said as he and Raquel looked closer.

“Oh my god!” Raquel exclaimed. “Ryan that’s Mr. Cooper!”

“What are you sure?” Ryan asked as they moved closer. The two of them got too close. Mr. Cooper caught them out of the corner of his eye and stared back at them shocked.

“Ryan we have to go!” Raquel said panicked. They quickly jumped back on the long board and sped off while Mr. Cooper got out of the car in a vain attempt to stop them. He slammed his fist on the car as Ryan and Raquel sped off into the distance.

- - - Updated - - -

In the original Kelsey kinda came out swinging with the whole queen bee act, even though she ended up being just a bit misunderstood. I tried to show more of her nicer side up front in my version, let me know what you think. As always i hope you guys enjoy it.

Content: Chapter 5

Raquel handed Ryan his helmet back as she stepped off of his longboard in front of her house. Mr. Cooper’s car was already in the driveway no doubt he was waiting inside.

“You want me to go with you?” Ryan asked concerned.

“No you shouldn’t get involved it’s a family matter.”

“If you say so,” Ryan said with a shrug. “You know how to reach me if you need help though.” With that he quickly skated off toward his own home. Raquel took a deep breath and calmly opened the front door of the cooper house. Mr. Cooper was sitting in a chair in the living room calmly sipping a glass of whiskey. He immediately turned to Raquel when she came in.

“Raquel,” he said calmly as nothing was out of the ordinary

“I’ve got nothing to say to you.” Raquel said immediately angry. “Jennifer deserves better than this. She deserves better than you."

“I would advise you keep your voice down,” Mr. Cooper said with a growl. “The twins are playing in their room right now and I don’t want them overhearing.”

“They might as well hear it now. I’m sure Jennifer will tell them all about once I let her know what you did.”

“You may want to hold off on that.”

“And why would I do that?” Raquel said feeling confident that she had the upper hand.

“Because if you do tell Jennifer, and we end up getting a divorce, well there’s no reason for me to keep you around anymore.” Mr. Cooper said as he finished his whiskey. Raquel froze.

“What do you mean?” Raquel asked concerned.

“Jennifer’s a great woman Raquel, really she is, but she’s terrible at paperwork. Thank goodness for her she has a lawyer for a husband. Someone to handle all of those complicated forms like taxes, audits, and … adoptions,” Cameron paused letting what he said sink in. Raquel froze in place. “On the bottom of every single piece of paper that says you’re a part of this family is my signature, and I know exactly how to nullify every single one of them.”

“Jennifer wouldn’t let that happen. She’ll do anything to keep me in her family.”

“I’m sure she’ll try, but I’m the best prosecutor in the stare Raquel. I can have you shipped off to another foster home in California before she even gets the chance to do anything about it. I can make you disappear so that no one would ever find you again. And I’m sure whatever two bit home you get sent to will be a lot less accepting of your little bladder problem than we are, but I don’t want to do that Raquel,” Cameron said more calmly. “And I won’t as long as you don’t tell Jennifer or anyone else about what you saw in front of my office today." Raquel’s initially aggressive attitude had faded and was now replaced with her more usual shy and submissive demeanor, she even began to uncontrollably wet her pull up completing the image of helplessness. “I trust we have an understanding then,” Cameron said noting Raquel’s change in posture. The more Raquel thought about it the more she knew that he was right. He could easily ship her off to another misery filled foster home. After all of the years of abuse and borderline torture she’d endured from places like that, she couldn’t go back again.

“Yes,” Raquel said solemnly. “We have an understanding.”

“I had a feeling you’d be more agreeable once you understood the situation.” Cameron stood up from his chair and walked coolly into his office without saying another word to Raquel. Raquel stood in her spot in the living room fists clenched. She hated this feeling. The feeling of having no control, of having her life put in the hands of people that are just trying to use her and who have been given legal authority over her.

Raquel had started to wet her pull up again without realizing it. The already full pull up couldn’t hold much more and she started to leak on the floor. The feeling of urine running down her legs snapped Raquel out of her train of thought. She instinctively sprinted over to the tile floor in the kitchen to try and get as little on the carpet as possible. She had been in this situation before and knew she couldn’t stop herself so she waited uncomfortably as a small puddle formed at her feet. She sighed, she got the majority of it on the tile which would be easy to clean, but her clothes were ruined and were sticking to her uncomfortably. Raquel sighed as she ran into the kitchen to get some cleaning supplies. Raquel suffered through cleaning the puddle she made in her soaked clothing because she knew if she left it for too long the whole house would start to smell. As she finished cleaning and was putting the supplies away Jennifer came home. There was no hiding that Raquel had leaked as there was a large damp spot on her clothes.

“Oh honey,” Jennifer said concerned. “Did you leak again?”

“Yeah,” Raquel said as nonchalantly as possible. “It’s really not a big deal. I just forgot to change my pull up when I got home. Don’t worry I already cleaned it up.”

“If you say so,” Jennifer said still concerned. “Just try to remember to change as soon as you can next time. I don’t want you getting a rash or leaking if you can help it.”

“I’ll try to remember mom,” Raquel said uncomfortably.

“Do you want me to help you get changed?”

“No thanks,” Raquel said as she began to make her way to her room. “I’m fine really.”

“I’m here if you need me, and leave those clothes by your door so I can get them in the wash.”

“Ok,” Raquel said smiling at her mother. In reality she would have appreciated having Jennifer change her. The knowledge that Mr. Cooper could so easily send her away still had her shaking, but time alone with Mrs. Cooper right now would probably lead to her spilling the beans, and in turn lead to her getting shipped off to god knows where. Raquel quickly took off her wet clothes and leaking pull up and got out one of her night diapers since she figured that she would need the extra protection from being so shaken up.

Raquel huffed as she taped the last tape of her diaper snugly on. “This sucks” she thought to herself. “Jennifer doesn’t deserve to be lied to like this.” She helplessly fell back on her bed. There was nothing she could do about it, if she actually told Jennifer the truth she would be sent away never to return. She angrily punched her pillow having no other outlet for her pent up anger. Raquel buried her head in the pillow she just punched. She tried in vain to take her mind off of her current predicament. She silently fumed at the injustice being done to her and to Mrs. Cooper.

*****

Kelsey Webster and her friend Sadie White were sitting down at their local café. Kelsey, the full time cheer leader that she is, was still in her uniform. Her friend Sadie was wearing more casual clothes, a plain whit t-shirt and a pair of jeans. Sadie was a good bit taller than Kelsey, making her only slightly above average height for a girl her age. She had shoulder length brown hair and currently expressed a somewhat tired look on her face as Kelsey was in the middle of a rant.

“Just when I had finally gotten rid of Sarah Cooper her little foster sister comes walking in like she owns the place. It’s not fair, I’m just as good a cheer leader as Sarah ever was and way better than this foster kid, but now another Cooper’s come to steal the spotlight.”

“I think you may be overreacting,” Sadie said calmly. “Sarah was a little … much sometimes, but this Raquel girl isn’t even related to her by blood so there’s no way to know if she’s the same way or not. She might be a nice person if you get to know her.”

“I doubt that,” Kelsey said with an angry huff. “I just need some way to get her off of the squad that way she can stop being my problem.”

“Or you could just play it cool,” Sadie said condescendingly. “You’re still the squad captain. It’s not like she can do anything to you even if she wanted to, so why start stuff,” Sadie made a slurping noise as she finished her drink. "Well I'm done, you ready to go?"

“Yeah may as well I need to get home anyway,” Kelsey said finishing her drink as well. As the two were preparing to leave Chase Collins entered the café as boisterous as ever.

“Hey Kelsey,” Chase said as he passed by Kelsey and Sadie. “Fancy seeing you here. You know I was just looking for you."

“What do you want!” Kelsey answered angrily tired of Chase’s constant advances on her.

“Oooo why so touchy sweet heart?” Chase said in an overly macho tone

“Don’t you have a girlfriend Chase? Maybe you can harass her and leave me alone for once.”

“Hey hey I didn’t mean it like that. I was just going to ask you something. When did you start letting little babies on your cheer squad?”

“Chase I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Oh you didn’t know,” Chase said playing up the insult he was about to give. “That new Mexican chick on your squad is a big baby.”

“Wow Chase you get the award for most unoriginal insult of the year,” Sadie replied sarcastically. “What are we in kindergarten?”

“No but she might be,” Chase retorted. “It might explain why she’s wearing diapers.”

“What!” Kelsey said shocked. “Are you being serious right now?”

“Yeah I saw her diaper when she was on the bus yesterday.”

“Oh so you’re admitting to looking up girls skirts,” Sadie replied. “Classy as ever Chase.”

“I didn’t have to look. You could smell it a mile away.”

“Chase,” Kelsey said as she started to grill Chase for details. “What did this girl look like? Was she short? Did she have black hair?”

“She’s probably the only person outside of a smurf shorter than you Kelsey. Aside from that I can’t tell you, I don’t really look at women for their faces you know.” Sadie and Kelsey immediately crossed their arms over their breasts and got a disgusted look on their faces.

“On that note I think we’re going to go. You’ve been very helpful Chase try not to trip on your drool on your way out.” Kelsey quickly left the café with Sadie behind her. “What a lucky break Sadie, this is just the info I needed to get Cooper off of the squad.”

“Kelsey no!” Sadie said sternly. “If what Chase said is true then that’s a very personal thing, and she probably needs them for some kind of medical reason. If that's the case she’s probably embarrassed enough about it as it is.”

“I know, that’s why it’s going to work.”

“Kelsey listen to yourself you sound just like Chase did. Just leave it alone there’s no reason to hit below the belt like that.”

“Oh come on,” Kelsey said dismissively, but Sadie grabbed her arm seriously.

“No Kelsey I’m serious. Promise me you aren’t going to do what I know you’re thinking about doing. It’s not worth it.”

“Fine!” Kelsey said with a huff. “But I will find a way to get her off of my squad one way or the other.”

Sorry for the wait on this chapter school work kind of caught up to me. This is the first of probably many crossovers between this and my other story Abby's Diapers, so if you're interested about where Sadie came from you can read that. Shameless self promotion over most of this is straight from the source, the only thing I changed was Kelsey and Sadie having their conversation in a cafe' instead of in one of their classes, and that was just to get a little variety in and to make it read like that scene at the cafe' takes place right after or at the same time as the scene with Raquel. Anyway hope you guys enjoyed it.

Content: Chapter 6

Raquel quietly changed into a clean pull up inside one of the girl’s bathroom stalls, careful not to make the two girls gossiping just outside aware of what she was doing. There goes number 3, Raquel thought to herself. She carefully tied the wet pull up in a plastic bag. She looked in her backpack. There was still one remaining pull up, and a plastic bag for when she inevitably used it and had to dispose of it. Raquel zipped the backpack shut and made her way out of the bathroom slyly disposing the plastic bag housing her wet pull up in the trash just outside. She had gotten so used to doing this that it was almost second nature to her, so much so that even though the hallway was full of students no one noticed what she was doing. Raquel didn’t have time to pat herself on the back for her slyness because as usual she was late to cheer practice so she began jogging in the direction of the gym.

Ever since Raquel caught Mr. Cooper cheating on his wife, she had been having more and more accidents during the day, to the point where her actually using the toilet had become a rare occurrence, hence her bringing 4 pull ups to school instead of 2. It confirmed her long held suspicion that her bladder control issues got worse with stress, and between Mr. Cooper’s infidelity and Kelsey’s rigorous cheer practice schedule she had a lot of extra stress.

Raquel burst into the gym quickly, the rest of the squad were already in uniform and doing warm up stretches.

“Late again Cooper!” Kelsey yelled as Raquel sprinted to the locker room. Raquel didn’t bother with a response and simply made her way into the locker room to change. She quickly put her backpack into a locker and took off the coat she was wearing. Like most of the girls on the squad Raquel simply wore her cheer uniform underneath regular clothes, usually just a jacket to keep warm, so she was out of the locker room fairly quickly but if you heard Kelsey you would think she took an eternity.

“Nice one Cooper!” Kelsey yelled as Raquel exited the locker room. “Now you can go over there and do the warms ups the rest of us finished 20 minutes ago.” It was not 20 minutes, Raquel silently thought to herself as she made her way over to an empty corner of the gym to warm up.

Kelsey had made it no secret that she wanted Raquel to quit the squad. Over the past month since Raquel joined the squad she found herself doing increasingly complex exercises and found herself involved in a number of difficult practice routines, where she usually got herself hurt. Despite this intense exercise routine and the extensive practice Raquel had with all of the squad's routines, Kelsey still kept Raquel on as only a backup member, and had no intention of ever putting her on the main squad. Despite Kelsey’s best efforts though, Raquel genuinely enjoyed her experience on the cheer squad and, somewhat ironically, Kelsey forcing her to practice complicated routines had made her really good at it, one of the best in squad in fact.

“All right I’m done,” Raquel said running up to Kelsey having finished her warm up exercises.

“You know what don’t bother. You’re already too far behind to keep up with the big girls today.” Kelsey said in a condescending tone. “I want you to help the others with that handspring in the beta routine. They are having trouble recovering from it fast enough to form a good base for the next move. Remember it needs to be fast but it also has to be solid technique I don’t want anything sloppy.” Raquel didn’t respond but obediently ran off to do her assigned task. Despite her cruelty Raquel could admit that Kelsey was good at her job, she knew how to micromanage and knew what areas of the different routines were sticking points, and could recognize where others would have trouble without even seeing them perform it. Sending Raquel to help with this was a good move on her part, it allowed her to help the rest of the squad master the later parts of the routine while Raquel caught the rest of the squad back up, plus it was a lot less work than Raquel usually had to do during practice so she was thankful for that at least.

Raquel made her way over to a smaller group of about 5 of her squad mates who were all studying a diagram that had been propped up between two rows of the bleachers of how the technique should be performed

“Hey guys,” Raquel said enthusiastically. “Kelsey said you guys needed help with something.” Raquel noticed that among this group was Brittney Cheng a girl on the squad that had quickly become one of Raquel’s best friends. Brittney was average height for a girl her age, but slightly skinnier than most others. This physique made her perfect for her position of off flyer, she was strong enough to hold others up, but light enough to be thrown, so if the routine called for an extra flyer than normal it was usually Brittney who stepped in, otherwise she acted as another person to form a strong base. She had Brunette hair and green eyes and the two clashed with each other in a charming way.

“So captain’s got you doing remedial stuff today,” Brittney said with an air of sarcasm. “I figured she’d have you trying to jump to the moon or something else impossible.”

“Not today,” Raquel said agreeing. “Today I am happily rooted in the realm of possibility. Let’s see if I can’t help you guys out.”

Raquel spent the rest of her time helping her group of girls perform the technique faster and better. Since Raquel acted as a good example they picked it up pretty fast, and by then end of that practice were landing it and recovering even faster than the benchmark Kelsey had set for them. Raquel was finishing helping one of the shyer squad members when Kelsey blew a loud whistle from the other side of the gym.

“All right good job everyone!” Kelsey said proudly. “You guys showed some real improvement. We’re done for today but remember to look over the routines and practice at home. And maybe some of us should consider showing up on time, looking at you Cooper.” With that final jab at Raquel Kelsey exited the gym with her friend Sadie and a few of the other squad members, while the rest of them, including Raquel and Brittney, stayed behind while the cafeteria workers brought out the free meal that was customarily given to the cheer leaders after each practice session. The meal for for this session was chicken strips a crowd favorite among the cheer leaders. The shy squad member Raquel was helping earlier had already taken three plates to go, packing them away in a lunch box, and quickly left the building. Raquel and Brittney grabbed their plates and sat down on the bleachers together.

“I honestly don’t know how you put up with Kelsey,” Brittney said biting into a chicken strip. “What did you do to piss her off so much?”

“I didn’t do anything,” Raquel said opening a can of soda. “Kelsey is still mad at Sarah for stealing the show while she was captain.”

“And she’s taking it out on you. You know if she had half a brain she’d make you the off flyer not me.”

“I’m just happy to be on the squad at all.”

“Oh don’t be modest. Everyone knows you’re just as good as Kelsey is, but she keeps you as a backup so she can steal all of the spotlight for herself. It ain’t right.”

“Well she can only be captain for another year,” Raquel said optimistically. “After she graduates and we get a new captain, I’ll get my time in the spotlight.”

“True that. It can’t come soon enough if you ask me,” Brittney said shoving another chicken strip in her mouth. “Anyways let’s talk about something else,” Brittney began. “I’ve been meaning to ask you …” Brittney started talking about something but Raquel couldn’t pay attention. Almost without warning her bladder gave out and she started to fill the pull up she was wearing. She noticed the weightless soda can in her left hand hand, she had drank the whole can in the span of 30 seconds without really thinking about it, and it went right through her. She silently cursed herself, she should’ve been paying more attention.

“Hey Raquel you there?” Brittney said confused.

“Oh sorry I spaced out there,” Raquel said trying to sit comfortably in the wet pull up. Lately she had spent a lot more time in wet pull ups so she found it easy to readjust herself in a comfortable position.

“No worries I’d go blank too if I was doing half the stuff Kelsey has you doing. I was asking you if you had a date to the dance yet. I know you’re pitching for the other team, but I heard some rumors.”

“Oh yeah. I was going to go with a friend of mine, Ryan. We’re just friends though.”

“I had a feeling that was the case. So would you mind if me and him …” Brittney made vague motions with her hands to finish the thought.

“I didn’t know you were in to the skater type Brit,” Raquel said teasing.

“Please Raquel the boy looks like he belongs in a boy band. That chest and that butt.”

“Ok you’ve made you point,” Raquel said stopping Brittney before she got too graphic.

“Oh sorry, got carried away,” Brittney said blushing. “But you wouldn’t mind it if I stole your date?”

“Oh no I’m fine with it. I didn’t really want to go anyway.”

“Aww thanks Rae Rae,” Brittney said hugging Raquel.

“You’re still going to have to ask him yourself though,” Raquel said worming her way out of the hug. “I’ll send you his number when I get home ok.”

“You’re the best!” Brittney said happily.

“Save the thanks until he says yes. I have to use the bathroom," Raquel lied "Don’t wait up on me.”

“Sure thing, see you tomorrow,” Brittney said as Raquel began walking toward the bathroom.

Raquel quickly changed into her last pull up, grabbed her stuff out of the locker room, and began walking home. It wasn’t too long into her walk that she felt the familiar pain in her bladder. Not really wanting to try and hold it in for the rest of the walk home, Raquel gave in and voluntarily wet her pull up deciding that the damp pull up would have been more comfortable than trying to hold it in for that long.

Raquel arrived home. Unfortunately Jennifer Cooper was out of town at a teaching conference so the only adult in the Cooper house was Cameron Cooper. Raquel didn’t even bother greeting him she simply made her way up to her room. Just because she was keeping the guys secrets, doesn’t mean she had to like him or even say two words to him for that matter. Once Raquel closed the door to her room she immediately changed out of her wet pull up and threw it in the diaper pail in her bathroom. She looked in the diaper drawer on her dresser and was shocked to see that there was only one pull up left, and she was also out of her night diapers. Raquel cursed herself for not noticing her lack of protection that morning when she packed her pull ups for the day. If she had known she was running low she would have tried harder to make them last. Raquel sighed, there was no helping it, she would have to ask Cameron for money to buy more diapers. Doing this was awkward enough under normal circumstances, but Raquel had hardly spoken a word to him since she confronted him about his infidelity. Raquel changed into the last clean pull up she had and gathered up as much courage as she could to go out and face Cameron. She walked into the living room with as much confidence as she could muster.

“Cameron,” Raquel said meekly. Cameron looked up from the paper he was reading surprised that Raquel was talking to him at all.

“Is there something you needed?” Cameron asked confused.

“I need money to go buy more pull ups,” Raquel said hanging her head low. “I just used my last pack.”

“Raquel I just bought you that pack 5 days ago how can you be out already? Are you even trying to make it to the toilet?” Cameron said angrily.

“Of course I am,” Raquel retaliated.

“Are you? If you were really trying then that pack should’ve at least lasted you until the end of the week.”

“Look I’ve just been stressed out ok!” Raquel said coming to a yell. She immediately brought her voice back down. “Cheer squad’s just been really tough and it gets worse with stress.”

“Oh so you didn’t just use them for convenience at all. Not once. There isn’t one time this whole week that you didn’t just give up and use your diapers instead of trying to use the toilet.” Raquel could actually think of 3 times over the past 2 days alone that she had done just that. Twice in the middle of class and today on her way home. But those were all because she knew she couldn’t hold it in long enough, and the pain of holding it in was more uncomfortable than wet diapers. “That’s what I thought.” Cameron said angrily, taking Raquel’s silence as guilt. “I’m not going to keep spending money on diapers for you if you aren’t even trying. You can wear your night diapers to school until Jennifer gets home.”

“I’m out of the night diapers too,” Raquel said hanging her head low.

“Then I guess you’ll just have to actually attempt to make it to the bathroom instead of just being lazy and using your diaper like a baby. Because I’m not buying you any more!” Raquel couldn’t say anything to him, she knew he wouldn’t listen to her anyway. “I’m sure if you actually try to make it to the bathroom you won’t have anything to worry about.”

“But …” Raquel began but she was cut off.

“This conversation is over. No more diapers you’re just going to have to use the bathroom like a normal functioning adult.” Cameron went back to reading his paper a sign that he was done talking. Raquel stormed off in a huff.

It was clear to Raquel that this one pull up wasn’t going to last. Jennifer wouldn’t be back home for another three days, but she could convince Ryan to loan her the money and take her to buy some pull ups after school. It would mean Ryan finding out about her secret, but that was better than the whole school finding out when her pull up eventually leaked, or worse when she wet herself with no protection on. She just needed to find something to keep her protected until the end of the day.

Just then it hit her. Andy was a late bloomer when it came to potty training, and Erica would fake wetting herself so Andy wouldn’t feel as bad about it. When Andy did get potty trained, Erica had been faking for so long that she lost control of her bladder, and so, to not make her feel as bad, Andy did the same thing. It’s because of this endless loop of one of the twins faking wetting themselves to make the other happy that the Coopers usually kept a pack of diapers in the twin’s size for several years after they were potty trained, there probably was a pack still laying around somewhere. Raquel made her way into the twin’s room, they were both lying on the floor watching tv but turned to Raquel when she came in.

“Hey guys,” Raquel began. “Remember when you two kept fake wetting yourselves.”

“We weren’t faking,” the two said simultaneously both blushing.

“Sure you weren’t,” Raquel said dismissively. “Do you guys think you might have some of those diapers still laying around?”

“Why?” Erica asked with a giggle.

“Is there something wrong with yours?” Andy asked a little more seriously.

“I ran out,” Raquel said starting to blush. “I uhh used them all.”

“Well that’s ok,” Andy said positively.

“Yeah just ask daddy to buy you more,” Erica added in.

“I did, he said no.” There was a small silence as the twins processed what was going on.

“I think there’s some in our closet,” Erica suggested.

“They're pretty old though,” Andy remarked. “and I don’t know how many are left.”

“Some is better than none,” Raquel said as she looked into the twin’s closet. Sure enough there was an almost empty pack of baby diapers stored above the twin’s clothes. She was barely able to grab the corner of the package and pull it down. It hit her on the head and the two diapers inside fell on the floor. Unfortunately for Raquel those two were the only diapers in that package, but on the bright side they were the largest size baby diaper available. Raquel looked and, according to the package, she was only about 10 pounds outside of the weight range. It wasn’t ideal. There were only two, and they were covered in baby designs, crinkled loudly, and had a distinct baby diaper smell, but if Raquel could put her mind to it she could make it last the whole day. “Thanks guys,” Raquel said hugging the twins.

“You’re welcome,” the twins said at the same time. Raquel left the twins room and entered her own. All I have to do is make this last through tomorrow. Raquel thought to herself as she looked at her reflection in the mirror.

Alright chapter 6. Sorry about the wait on this one. Just like last time life has a way of catching up to me. On the bright side my university is about to move into the study period for final exams. If I was making good life choices I would actually use that time to study, but since I don't you guys can probably expect a new chapter once that happens. Anyways hope you guys enjoyed the chapter. Also as just a heads up I've actually got a pretty big deviation from the original planned in the next one or two chapters, i have to keep a few surprises for you guys. So be on the lookout for that.

Content: Chapter 7

Raquel woke the next morning in an unsurprisingly wet pull up. She knew that she wouldn’t go through the night without wetting the bed, but she had hoped that the last pull up she had would’ve held up better than it did. Much to her dismay though it was soaked through, a wet spot on the bed being a testament to this. The wet spot wasn’t big enough to ruing the sheets or mattress but Raquel couldn’t help but feel that her leaking pull up was a sign of things to come for the rest of the day.

Raquel removed the soaked pull up and tossed it in the trash. After a shower she stood nervously by her bed looking at the baby diaper that would have to be her protection for the day. Here goes nothing, Raquel thought to herself. She opened the diaper up and immediately could tell that it was louder than the pull ups she usually wore, and she felt like someone could smell the distinct baby diaper smell from a mile away. Fortunately for her, Raquel’s small size meant that she could fit in it reasonably well. They were still tight, the bands holding the tapes were stretched out, but not enough to make Raquel worry about them breaking. Looking at herself in the mirror Raquel couldn’t help but note how simultaneously ridiculous, and cute she looked. Raquel could still only see a teenager with an embarrassing bladder problem when she looked at herself in the mirror, but she had to admit that the diapers fit her well enough that they didn’t seem unnatural, and the cartoony designs, while childish, did have a cute charm to them.

Raquel finished getting dressed, again deciding to just wear her cheer uniform and a jacket today so she wouldn’t have to change with the rest of the cheer squad in the locker room when it came time for practice. She left without eating breakfast and walked to school thinking that it would be best if she ate and drank as little as possible today to make the two baby diapers she had last as long as possible. As expected she ran into her friend Ryan on her way. The paths the two walked to school converged and Ryan sped up to catch Raquel.

“Why the long face sunshine,” Ryan joked as he approached Raquel.

“It’s kind of a long story,” Raquel said embarrassed. “Hey do you think you could take me to the Morgan’s pharmacy after school today? I need to pick something up.”

“Sure,” Ryan said with a hint of concern. “Everything ok?”

“Yeah I’m fine,” Raquel lied. “I’ll tell you about it when we get there ok it’s a bit embarrassing.” Raquel grew red. Raquel lacked the money to buy the diapers herself which meant that she would have to borrow it from Ryan. This also meant that Raquel would have to tell him about her needing diapers. Raquel always hated telling other people about it, especially friends. She was always concerned that they might stop wanting to be around her once they knew she had accidents. Raquel always thought that having bladder control issues made her a freak. She assumed that if others found out they would think the same thing.

“Whatever it is don’t get so worked up about it alright,” Ryan said concerned. “I’m sure it’s fine and we’ll take care of it alright.” Raquel brightened up a little. It was hard to be all doom and gloom with Ryan being so optimistic about everything, even if he didn’t know the whole story.

Most of Raquel’s day went as expected. She was acutely aware of the crinkling sound her diaper made with every step, and the smell coming from it, even if nobody else seemed to notice. Even if they did they didn’t pin it on Raquel. Around lunch Raquel had an accident as usual, fortunately the diaper she had on held it surprisingly well, though Raquel could tell it couldn’t hold another so she reluctantly changed in to her last diaper after lunch. The end of school came with the final bell and as usual Raquel felt the urge to go to the bathroom before cheer practice. Despite her best efforts to make to the bathroom on time Raquel went in her diaper. Just like the one before it Raquel didn’t think it could hold another so she snuck off to the bathroom to assess the damage.

Raquel was lucky, she found the girls bathroom to be empty when she arrived. Raquel darted into a stall, locked it shut, and lifted up the skirt of her cheer uniform. It was as bad as she thought, the diaper had a solid yellow color throughout and had swelled to about twice its original size. Raquel sighed. Any more accidents and it would leak for sure. Plus she found it to be incredibly uncomfortable. Unlike her pull ups, these diapers were constantly pushed up against her skin because of how tight they were. No matter how Raquel moved she felt a constant reminder of the accident she had, something she didn’t appreciate. But even used protection was better than no protection at all. Raquel pulled the skirt of her uniform back down straightening it out so that it covered as much as possible. It’s just until the end of cheer practice, Raquel thought I can last until then right? Raquel exited the girl’s bathroom and began making her way to the auditorium for cheer practice. Almost as soon as she left she was startled by a smug voice behind her.

“There you are!” came the angry voice of Kelsey who had snuck up behind Raquel quietly. “What are you doing out here Raquel?” Kelsey said nagging. “You’ve already missed half of practice.”

“I had to use the bathroom ok!” Raquel said annoyed. “Besides shouldn’t you be there running the cheer practice.”

“Unlike you the rest of the squad is mature enough that they can take care of themselves without me looking over them. Why are you even using the bathroom out here the locker room has a toilet what’s wrong with that one?”

“It’s none of your business where I use the bathroom at Kelsey!”

“When it’s affecting your performance on the squad it is my business. Is there some reason you can’t go in the locker room like everyone else.” The reason was that the toilet in there didn’t have a stall for Raquel to change her diaper in privacy, but Kelsey was the last person Raquel wanted knowing that. As Raquel was thinking of something to say to get Kelsey off of her back, she felt a feeling that sent fear down her spine. She felt her diaper come loose on the left side, meaning that the tab was coming off. The extra weight of the swelled up diaper must’ve been too much for the tapes. Raquel began to panic as the diaper slowly became more and more loose.

“Kelsey I need to go back …” Raquel began but Kelsey cut her off putting a hand on Raquel’s shoulder.

“Oh no you don’t. I had to walk all the way out here to find your dumb ass and I want a reason why.” Raquel could feel the diaper slipping off of her.

“I’m sorry alright just please move out of the way,” Raquel said panicking but Kelsey didn’t budge.

“God that’s just what I’d expect from a Cooper. Thinking you’re the only person in the universe that matters. You know Sarah was the same way.” Raquel could feel the tab finally break loose and she immediately closed her legs to keep the diaper from falling past her skirt. “What are you doing?” Kelsey said as Raquel continued to stand hunched over with her legs crossed.

“Kelsey please just leave me alone ok,” Raquel said trying to get Kelsey to leave.

“Absolutely not, I don’t know what you’re doing but you’re coming back to the gym with me.” Kelsey grabbed Raquel’s hand and started to walk toward the gym, expecting Raquel to follow, but Raquel remained rooted in place still holding the stance. “I don’t know what kind of joke you’re playing on me Cooper, but I am not having it.” With a stronger tug on Raquel’s arm, Kelsey finally broke Raquel’s stance. Without her legs to keep it held up Raquel gasped as the wet diaper fell past her skirt and landed on the ground beneath her, one of the tapes still fastened around her leg. Kelsey stared right at it, a grin forming on her face. “Wow I can’t believe Chase Collins was actually right about something!” Kelsey said laughing with a sense of satisfaction. Raquel panicked and tried get rid of the diaper, but before she could Kelsey snapped a picture of Raquel struggling with the diaper around her legs on her phone.

“Kelsey no!” Raquel screamed attempting to grab Kelsey’s phone. Kelsey used the slight height advantage she had over Raquel to hold her phone out of reach.

“Slow your roll or I send this to the whole school!” Kelsey said threateningly. Raquel immediately backed off and quickly threw the used diaper in a nearby trash can before anyone else saw. “Wow you know everyone told me what a little freak you were, but I never would have imagined you were this screwed up," Kelsey sneered going into full mean girl mode. "I’m sure everyone on the squad will get a kick out of this. I doubt you’ll ever be able to show your face around here again, at least not with any dignity anyway. It's not even your good side either."

“Kelsey please…” Raquel began but Kelsey silenced her by holding up a finger.

“Listen up looser," Kelsey said seriously. "I want you to quit the squad. And if you don’t I’ll make sure this picture is sent to everyone in a 100 mile radius. We clear?”

“Kelsey wait I…”

“Are we clear?” Kelsey said threateningly. She had her phone open to a social media app and appeared ready and willing to send the picture out. Raquel couldn’t respond she just fell to the floor in tears. Kelsey lost a bit of her edge on seeing Raquel cry, but she still maintained a queen bee attitude. “I’m going back to practice. I would suggest that you clean yourself up and head home. Don’t let me see you at practice again.” With that Kelsey smugly walked back to the gym confident that she had successfully removed Raquel from her life.

Raquel wasn’t sure what to do. She knew that if she did go back and Kelsey did send that picture to everyone, then her social life was effectively over, but Raquel had never had more fun and felt more like part of a group then she did with cheer leading. And the thought of Kelsey taking away one of the few things that made her happy, made Raquel’s blood boil. Raquel stopped crying and stood up. She pounded the wall angrily. Every time Raquel was even remotely happy someone took it away from her. Not this time! Raquel thought to herself. She didn’t know what she was doing. Every part of her told her to give up and go home, that Kelsey had won, but there was some voice in her head that drove her angrily toward the gym despite Kelsey and what she would do.

Raquel burst through the doors of the gym and looked directly at Kelsey with a snarl, almost daring the girl to do something. Kelsey just looked on in shock as Raquel made her way over to where Brittney and some other members of the squad were sitting, and began chatting with them in a friendly tone, making sure to send some evil glares Kelsey's direction when there was a lull in the conversation.

“Raquel we were hoping you could show us that cartwheel again?” Brittney asked. “And can you do it slowly?”

“Sure thing. It’s not as hard as it looks I think you guys are just over complicating it.” Raquel said doing a quick cartwheel finishing with her hands in the air. “See just like that,” Raquel said happily.

“Uhh Raquel,” Brittney said with concern. Raquel didn’t hear the rest of what Brittney had to say, all she heard was the sound of water hitting the floor directly below her. Only Raquel knew by the dampness that started spreading around her cheer uniform that it wasn’t water. Raquel looked in horror at Brittney and the rest of squad who looked back at her, and the puddle forming around her feet, with both shock and concern. Suddenly the bravery and determination Raquel had a few moments ago vanished and she ran out of the gym at what seemed like the speed of sound, running past Kelsey who, despite her earlier gloating, did not seem entirely happy with how things unfolded.

“Ok let’s call it early today guys,” Kelsey said not entirely sure how to handle the situation. On que the squad started filing out of the gym most of them with great concern for Raquel. Kelsey and two other senior cheer leaders reluctantly stayed behind to clean up the gym floor.

While most of the squad quietly left and went home, not sure what to make of what they just saw, Brittney went looking for Raquel. After a quick search she found Ryan pacing anxiously outside of the girls bathroom.

“Hey you’re Brittney, Raquel’s friend right?” Ryan asked Brittney worried. Brittney nodded.

“Yeah is she in there?”

“Yeah I was supposed to meet her after school but she just ran past me crying. She’s been in there for a while now.”

“I’ll go check on her,” Brittney said as she cautiously entered the bathroom. She tapped gently on the door announcing that she was entering. “Raquel you in here? I just want to know if you’re ok.”

“I’m here,” Raquel responded in a depressed tone. Raquel came out of the stall she was hiding in. There was a large damp spot on her cheer uniform and it was obvious that until recently she had been crying.

“Here you can wear my clothes home,” Brittney said handing Raquel her clothes out of her backpack. I didn’t wear my uniform to class today, so I can just wear it home and you can get into something dry.” Raquel silently took the clothes with her into the stall. The clothes Brittney gave her were a yellow t-shirt with the logo of the company that made it embroidered on the front and some tight blue jean shorts. It wasn’t Raquel’s usual style, but it was better than the uncomfortably damp cheer uniform she was in now. “You going to tell me what happened back there?”

“What do you think happened?” Raquel said angrily.

“You just had an accident ok,” Brittney said trying to cheer Raquel up. “It was just a fluke, probably something you ate.”

“No it wasn’t,” Raquel said frankly. “I have accidents all the time, every day. Ever since I was little. I usually wear ... protection, but I ran out today.” It was clear that Raquel was having a hard time telling Brittney this.

“Oh, well that’s ok Raquel.”

“No it’s not!” Raquel yelled. “Now everyone knows. Not that it matters, Kelsey would have told them anyway.”

“What!” Brittney said angrily.

“She saw my diaper before practice, said she would send it out to everyone unless I quit the squad. Not that it matters much now, they all know anyway. They probably all think I’m some kind of freak.” Brittney decided to save her anger at Kelsey for later and for now focused her efforts on consoling Raquel.

“Listen I don’t know what Kelsey told you, but don’t think for a second the squad thinks any less of you because of this alright. They were just as worried about you as I was. We don’t care that you have accidents or wear diapers, we’re a team. We stick together and support each other. So don’t worry about it ok.” Raquel came out of the stall in Brittney’s dry clothes and gave her a hug.

“Thanks Brit,” Raquel said feeling better.

“No problem. Now you’re friend Ryan is waiting for you outside and I don’t want to keep someone that good looking waiting.” The joke boosted Raquel’s spirits as she playfully hit Brittney on the shoulder.

“You’re never one to pass up an opportunity to flirt.” Brittney grinned happily at Raquel’s comment and the two exited the bathroom to greet Ryan outside.

“Raquel,” Ryan said concerned. “Everything all right? I was watching the practice and it looked like you.”

“Yeah I did,” Raquel said rubbing her arm shyly. Brittney whispered into Ryan’s ear telling him the whole situation. “Oh so when you wanted me to take you to the store.”

“It was to buy diapers yes.” Raquel said bluntly. She figure now was as good a time as any to tell Ryan the truth. “Mr. Cooper didn’t give me any money to buy them myself.” Raquel said quietly. "Sorry."

“Oh,” Ryan said awkwardly. “Now I get why you were all down this morning.” Raquel didn’t respond. “Hey no big deal Raquel don’t sweat it.”

“Really?”

“Yeah really. I’m not going to stop following you around just because of something like that.”

“Thanks Ryan,” Raquel said happily.

“Don’t be so quick to thank me. I can take you to the store, but I don’t think I have the money to buy you anything.”

“I’ll cover it,” Brittney spoke up. “What kind of friend would I be if I didn’t let you bum some money off of me?”

“Thanks you guys,” Raquel said gratefully.

The three of them left the school walked to the nearby drugstore. When they finally arrived Ryan and Brittney stood next to each other awkwardly making idle conversation while Raquel browsed through the oddly large selection of diapers the store had. Raquel looked at all of the choices with a different mindset than usual. Before she would have valued discreetness, but now it seemed everyone would find out anyway so she instead looked for something that could last longer than her usual pull ups. She pulled out what looked like that most absorbent brand, a taped diaper that was pretty thick, and featured a childlike design of various shapes dotting the diaper and a purple trim around the edges. Part of Raquel’s mind reasoned that she was just putting up with the child like shapes because it was most absorbent and looked more comfortable than the others, but a larger part of her knew that in reality she preferred the cute designs, it was different than the usual plain, medical look she was used to. Plus she couldn’t help but smile at the cute designs, and after today she could use something to make her smile.

“Let’s get these,” Raquel said showing the package to Ryan and Brittney.

“Are you sure?” Ryan asked. Brittney elbowed him. It was obvious to Raquel that the two didn’t want to say what they were thinking for fear of hurting Raquel’s feeling.

“You guys can be honest with me. I’d rather we all just be up front about this if we can,” Raquel said confidently.

“Well…” Ryan began but he was cut off by Brittney.

“They look like baby diapers Raquel, and they’re so thick. You are hardly going to be able to walk. Not to mention what might happen if someone sees it.”

“Well I wanted something that I could wear longer, and since I’m not worried about hiding them any more why not go all out, and I like the designs, you get tired of plain white after a while I need something a little different you know.”

“If you say so,” Ryan said shrugging his shoulders. Raquel brought the diapers to the counter. Despite the product the woman at the counter smiled positively. As Brittney paid for them Raquel made her into the bathroom of the store to put one on.

Normally Raquel only wore taped diapers at home, where she could lay down on her bed to put them on, so it was tricky taping it up in the small bathroom but Raquel managed to get it on eventually. The diapers were indeed thicker than what she was used to, and they seemed to crinkle even louder than the baby diapers she wore earlier, but Raquel didn’t mind. She was just relieved to finally have some protection on. Raquel felt weird without the extra padding, she had gotten so used to it that when it wasn't there she felt like she was missing something. The lingering anxiety she had all day disappeared. The thick diaper, usually a source of embarrassment, suddenly gave her a sense of calm happiness. Raquel pulled up Brittney’s shorts, but found that the diaper was too thick for her to button the jeans up over them. Raquel just calmly sighed and removed the just. Just Brittney’s top alone wasn’t enough to cover the diaper, but Raquel thought that her jacket would cover enough of it for her to get home without drawing much attention to herself. Raquel exited the bathroom and calmly walked through the store back to Ryan and Brittney without any pants. Ryan couldn’t help but ogle over Raquel as she approached them.

“They were too thick I couldn’t button them up,” Raquel said handing Brittney her shorts back. “Do you have my jacket? I think it might cover them up enough to get me home without flashing half of the town.”

“Sure thing,” Brittney said quickly grabbing Raquel’s jacket out of her back pack. Raquel put on her jacket which definitely covered more of the diaper than the t-shirt alone did, but still left a little of the diaper showing out from under it. Raquel gave Ryan a stern look after she zipped the jacket up.

“Sorry about staring couldn’t help it,” Ryan said apologetically. “You looked good if that helps.”

“What am I chopped liver?” Brittney said joking.

“Don’t get me wrong you look good too, but you’re not the one strutting around in just your underwear underwear,” Ryan said bluntly, but you could tell from his face he was joking. Brittney elbowed him in the ribs again while Raquel giggled.

“Thanks Ryan,” Raquel said still laughing slightly. “I’ll take it as a compliment.”

“So you need a lift home?” Ryan asked politely.

“Nah I’ll walk,” Raquel said tired. “It’s not too obvious maybe no one on the way home will be able to tell.”

“I’ll walk with you,” Brittney volunteered. “Stand between you and the road. I can get my mom to come pick me up at your place so it’s no big deal.”

“Well I guess I’ll see you two later then,” Ryan said happily.

“Thanks for everything Ryan,” Raquel said embarassed. “Sorry about dragging you into my drama.”

“Eh it’s not like I have any other plans. I have time for extra drama,” Raquel gave Ryan a hug and with that Raquel and Brittney mad their way to Raquel’s house while Ryan skated off to his.

After a brief walk Raquel and Brittney arrived at Raquel’s house. An unfamiliar car was in the driveway.

“What’s wrong?” Brittney asked noting Raquel’s hesitation.

“I don’t recognize the car,” Raquel said approaching the front door cautiously. “Maybe Mr. Cooper hired a baby sitter because I don’t see his car anywhere,” Raquel struggled to open the front door because she was holding the package of diapers she just bought, but eventually she got the door open. Standing immediately on the other side of the door in the Kitchen was none other than Kelsey Webster who was in the kitchen making snacks.

“Oh Raquel,” Kelsey said surprised by Raquel’s sudden entrance.

“What are you doing here?” Raquel asked angrily.

“Hey loose the attitude," Kelsey said annoyed. "I don’t want to be here anymore than you want me to be here," Kelsey said tiredly. "But I’m getting paid to babysit while father of the year goes back to work. It'd be better for both of us if we could just get past this, at least until I leave”

“Oh shove it Kelsey!” Brittney said stepping in front of Raquel. “You’re probably here just to torment Raquel some more. I bet you couldn’t wait to take this job just to gloat about it.”

“What do I have to gloat about? I didn’t do anything." Kelsey said defensively. "You made a fool of yourself all on your own,” Kelsey said gesturing to Raquel. “You should’ve listened to me and gone home then none of this would’ve happened.”

“You know Kelsey I’m sick and tired of people like you pushing me around,” Raquel said with a new found fire. “I don’t know why in the hell you have to put me down to get your kicks, but I’m not just going to sit down and take it. I’m not quitting the squad not matter what you do. Why don’t you take your idle threats and crawl back to whatever hole you came out of.” Kelsey looked at Raquel with an angry smirk. It became abundantly clear the Kelsey did not like being talked down to. When Raquel was finished Kelsey nonchalantly but very deliberately pressed a button on her phone. A few seconds later both Raquel’s’ and Brittney’s phone made a ding as they had both received a text message.

“Uhh Raquel,” Brittney said worried. Raquel checked her phone and sure enough the text message included the picture of her with a soaked diaper falling from under her skirt. Raquel looked at the rest of the people who got the message, it included most of the squad.

“We’ll see how long that determination of yours lasts now.” Kelsey said smugly. Brittney stood quietly by the door not sure what to say. Raquel continued to stare Kelsey down for another minute or two before turning around and leaving the house slamming the door behind her.

“Wow Raquel that was intense,” Brittney said once the door was shut. Raquel’s composure immediately broke though as she slumped over on Brittney’s shoulder in tears. “Hey don’t worry about it. Remember what I said earlier. Teams stick together. Kelsey is the exception to the rule, and I promise you this will hurt her more than it hurts you, everyone else is on your side. Now come on mom’s coming to pick us up you’re staying the night at my place.

“Thanks Brit,” Was all Raquel could manage.

“No problem. Having your arch villain be your baby sitter sounds like a plot in a mediocre fan fiction and I refuse to let the realm of mediocre fan fiction escape into our reality.” Raquel laughed at the poor attempt at a joke.

“What a day right,” Raquel said finally out of tears.

“You’re telling me.”

- - - Updated - - -

Like I mentioned last time, we've had our reading days and because I make poor life decisions I wrote this instead of studying. I know it's a bit on the long side, I have checklists of the things I want to do in this chapter and I think I put a bit too many scenes in this one. A key difference from the original is that in the original I don't think the rest of the squad ever found out about Raquel needing diapers, and Ryan didn't figure out until close to the end. One of my few complaints with the original is that this didn't happen now. Not only is it weird that the whole squad wouldn't put two and two together after seeing Raquel wet herself, but having them know also opens up some interesting scenarios down the line, and I believe in the original Ryan is told off screen about it, and I wanted to show him finding out about it. As always i hop you guys enjoy it. If I manage to fit everything I want in the next chapter it should have the biggest difference from the original so far so be on the look out for that.

Content: Chapter 8

Raquel awkwardly stood behind Brittney wearing just a t-shirt, her diaper fully visible as Brittney rummaged through her walk in closet.

“I’m sure I have something in here that you can wear over it,” Brittney said looking through her large collection of clothes.

“I’ll be fine with this Brittney,” Raquel said calmly.

“Well we still have to find something for you to wear tomorrow,” Brittney said walking out of the closet. “I know it’s not exactly a secret anymore, but that doesn’t mean you have to go around flaunting it.”

“It’ll probably have to be a dress or a skirt I don’t think any of your shorts are going to be big enough.”

“There has to be something,” Brittney said frustrated. She continued searching through the closet. Raquel let Brittney continue looking and left her room to explore the rest of the house some more. Raquel knew she had a warped perspective on what constituted a mansion, but she thought for sure the Cheng house had to qualify. It was a massive house with two floors and it seemed to go on for miles to Raquel. She stood on the second floor hallway that was as big if not bigger than the entirety of some of her foster homes. She did note that it seemed somewhat empty, there wasn’t a lot of family pictures around. It was an unsettling sign that Raquel linked with the foster homes she had been through, but the place didn’t have the negative energy the foster homes did, it was just quiet and empty, at least until Brittney’s mom Barbra came in through the front door.

“Hey Raquel,” Barbra said cheerily. “I went back by the drug store and I got you some more diapers.” She handed Raquel two more packages of diapers along with one out of the package that she must have used to find which brand to buy. “Are you sure these are the ones you want?”

“Yeah,” Raquel said blushing a little. “You didn’t have to do this Mrs. Cheng.” And indeed Raquel didn’t want her to but it seemed nothing could stop Barbra's charity.

“Oh hush,” Barbra said with a hint of sternness. “It won't do any good to have you running around without any protection on, and having some extra won't hurt. I'll keep them around in case you decide to stay over again. Did Brittney not find anything else for you to wear?"

“Not yet she's still looking,” Raquel said. “But really as long as it’s not bothering you I’m fine with wearing just the t-shirt.”

“You sure you aren’t cold?”

“No I’m fine,” Raquel said giggling. “My mom, I mean Mrs. Cooper, used to ask the same thing, but this is warmer than it looks so I'm not that cold.”

“That’s just moms being moms dear,” Barbra said handing Raquel the two extra packages of diapers. “You go put those wherever is convenient for you, and I’ve got your uniform in the washer it should be done before school tomorrow.”

“Sure thing,” Raquel said struggling a bit to get a grip on the packages. “Uhh where do you want me to put the … used ones,” Raquel said trailing off at the end embarrassed.

“I did not think of that,” Barbra said comfortingly. “I’ll bring a trashcan up to Brittney’s bathroom and you can use that. Oh and did you need any help with changing.” Raquel grew a deep shade of red and instinctively tried to stretch the t-shirt she was wearing over her diaper, having little success with her hands occupied with the packages of diapers.

“Mom!” Brittney shouted from upstairs having come out of her room just in time to hear Barbra ask her last question. “I’m sure Raquel can change herself she’s not a baby,” Brittney said as she walked down the stairs. “Wait you can change yourself right?”

“Yes I can,” Raquel said meekly.

“Well if you need any help dear,” Barbra said reassuringly.

“Mom!” Brittney complained. “You’re embarrassing her.”

“What?” Barbra said defensively. “I was just trying to help.”

“I appreciate it,” Raquel said desperately trying to end this situation, “I’m good though, thanks for asking.” Barbra looked at Brittney with a smirk and Brittney rolled her eyes. Brittney grabbed one of the packages Raquel was holding and started making her way back to her room. Raquel followed behind her.

“Dinner’s in 30 minutes,” Barbra called as Raquel and Brittney left.

Raquel was having a tough time figuring Barbra out. Not many adults would let a girl like her into the car no questions asked. Wearing her daughters shirt, a diaper, and her pee soaked cheer uniform in her back pack. Yet all Brittney had to say was that Raquel was a friend and that she needed a place to stay and Barbra was welcoming without any other questions, which seemed to catch even Brittney by surprise. Raquel could tell that this wasn't out of pity either. When adults pitied Raquel and her bladder control problem, they would often act like Raquel wasn't wearing diapers at all, even if they knew otherwise. Raquel experienced this plenty with the Cooper's extended family members, and while she didn't dislike it she always found it to be belittling. Much like Jennifer, Barbra did not pity Raquel at all. She addressed Raquel's problem from a practical standpoint, not a judgmental one, though she lacked the greater sense of care for Raquel then Jennifer had, but then again Raquel was a part of Jennifer's family and this woman was still piratically a stranger.

Raquel followed Brittney into her room. Brittney stood disappointed outside of her closet, a few outfits arranged on hangers were just inside.

“Well I looked through all of my clothes and you're right, no shorts. But I did find a dress and some skirts that should fit.” Brittney said tired. She put the package she was carrying just outside of the closet. Next to the already open package. Raquel stacked hers on top of it

“Oh you actually looked at all of them I didn’t think that was possible?” Raquel said joking.

“Yeah I guess so,” Brittney said quickly with a hint of anger.

“What did I say?” Raquel asked sensing that she pinched a nerve.

“Nothing Raquel” Brittney said a little angry.

“Come on Brittney,” Raquel said gesturing to her visible diaper. “I’ve shared plenty time for you to open up.”

“You’re right,” Brittney said immediately feeling bad. “Sorry I just don’t like bringing people over.”

“Why your house is huge. I mean you’re the only kid I know that has a balcony with her room.”

“Yeah that’s the problem Raquel,” Brittney said sadly. “It’s frigging huge. I mean it’s expected mom’s a lawyer and dad’s a brain surgeon they can afford a nice place. It’s just, I don’t know. I’m always worried someone’s going to get the wrong idea about me, think I’m snooty or like little miss perfect or something. God look at me telling you this I probably sound like an ungrateful brat.”

“Only a little bit,” Raquel teased. “You’re not wrong though the place is huge. I think you could play baseball in your living room.”

“I know right.”

“But you’re not your house Brittney. By the time you trust anyone enough to invite them over, they should know you well enough not to generalize you like that. I know how you are, and I don’t think someone who is stuck up would keep me around as a friend.” Brittney laughed a little. “What?” Raquel asked knowing Brittney had thought of a joke.

“You know actually stuck up people would be the only ones to keep you around, they are the only people that can afford the diapers,” Brittney said snickering.

“See right there. A stuck up person would only say that behind me back,” Raquel said lightly hitting Brittney. Brittney laughed at the joke. They were interrupted by a knock at the door.

“Dinner,” came Barbra’s voice from the other side of the door. Brittney and Raquel were quick to run out of the room and follow Barbra to the kitchen.

“It’s nothing too fancy, I didn’t have a lot of time to prepare, but I didn’t want our guest to go hungry. I hope you guys like hamburger steak. And sorry Raquel, but my husband Kent got called away for emergency surgery so it’ll be just us.”

“Thanks Mrs. Cheng,” Raquel said sitting down at the small table in the kitchen where a plate was already made for her.

“Please Raquel call me Barbra.”

“Or Barbie,” Brittney said giggling,

“Do not get that started again,” Barbra said angrily glaring at Brittney. Raquel couldn’t help but laugh a little.

Raquel had to admit that it felt weird eating hamburger steak in a house this big. She thought that actual steak, or some other expensive meat, would’ve been more appropriate, but she always loved hamburger steak. And Barbra was good company. Barbra and Brittney seemed to have an unspoken deeply trusting relationship with each other, the kind that was hard to replicate, and the kind that Raquel had been happy to forge with Jennifer. Though Raquel couldn’t help but get the feeling that Barbra and Brittney didn’t always have that positive relationship. She got the sense that there was some mistrust looming in the back of Barbra's mind and at the same time it seemed like Brittney was constantly subconsciously apologizing for something that happened some time ago. Barbra seemed to treat Raquel like a positive influence around Brittney, and Brittney seemed to acknowledge on some level that she needed one. It was something she knew better than to ask about the first time at their house so she held her tongue.

“Ok, come on Raquel we’ve got some scheming to do,” Brittney said finishing her food.

“Some what?” Barbra said alarmed.

“It’s nothing bad mom promise,” Brittney said genuinely.

“It better not be!” Barbra returned sternly. “And remember it’s a school night so I want you girls in bed by 9.”

Raquel was only a few seconds behind Brittney, but by the time she had entered the room Brittney was already typing away on both her laptop and her phone.

“What are you doing?” Raquel asked.

“Taking care of our Kelsey problem,” Brittney said confidently.

“Oh yeah,” Raquel said with a hint of anger. “Can we just drop it? It doesn’t matter who she tells now everyone knows, and I’ve already decided I’m not quitting the squad no matter what she does.”

“Yeah but you’re not the only one mad at her. Most of the squad wasn’t particularly happy with the picture they got earlier today.”

“Of course they aren’t, I wouldn’t want to get a picture of a freak sent to me either.”

“Come on Raquel don’t do that to yourself it’s not good for you,” Brittney said in a serious tone.

“I know I know,” Raquel said agreeing. "I'm working on being more self positive." Raquel sat on the bed with Brittney. She noticed a familiar warmness when her bottom hit the bed.

“You good?” Brittney asked noted Raquel’s pause.

“Yeah I’m fine, I must’ve had an accident after dinner.”

“Do you need the room to change?”

“No I’ll do it before bed, it’s not that bad,” Raquel laughed a little.

“What’s so funny?” Brittney asked curious.

“Nothing I just never been this open about it before. It’s nice not having to hide it around friends.”

“No problem you said you wanted to be frank about it,” Brittney said honestly. “And I’ve seen you in your diaper pretty much all day, I got over it. Anyway, I think we’ve got enough votes form the rest of the squad to kick Kelsey out and elect a new captain, especially if I get our special guest to arrive.”

“Special guest?” Raquel asked confused.

“In due time,” Brittney said reveling in her scheming. “Don’t worry about it for now. I’m in the zone now the game is on.”

“Ok.” Raquel said mildly concerned at Brittney’s phrasing. “I’m going to go wait out on the balcony while you take over the world or whatever.” Raquel stood up and began walked out on to Brittney’s balcony. She spent the next few minutes admiring the view from the balcony. It didn’t overlook anything in particular, but Raquel liked the way the hills looked from the height. And the night breeze felt really good. She felt like she could spend days up here and never get tired of it. It was a shame that, judging from the cobwebs, Brittney din’t use it all that much. Suddenly Raquel felt the urge to use the bathroom again but just let go in the diaper not wanting to go back inside just to not make it to the bathroom in time anyway. At this point most diapers would be close to leaking, but these new ones, while swollen up a good bit, could still hold more. Raquel gave a small impressed smirk.

Raquel soon became tired. She glanced back in Brittney’s room. Brittney was still busily typing away. Raquel gave a stretch and entered the room, Brittney was still too absorbed in what she was doing to notice Raquel come in. Raquel glanced at the clock on Brittney’s night stand, it was only 8:30. Normally Raquel could stay up later, but she’d had a long day so decided to get ready for bed. She silently moved to Brittney’s bath room which, like the rest of her house, was big. It even included its own shower and tub. Raquel noticed a trashcan next to the shower, the one for her diapers no doubt, and she also noticed an unopened toothbrush next to the sink. Barbra must’ve picked up a toothbrush for her at the drug store while she was getting the diapers. Raquel smiled at the thoughtfulness. She opened the toothbrush and began brushing her teeth. She noticed that her diaper had now become visibly wet, she also noticed that the smaller shapes faded when wet. Raquel didn’t think much of that, even though it normally would have bothered her. She spat the toothpaste out and brushed her hair before going back to Brittney’s room.

“Alright Dr. Doom time to go to bed,” Raquel said knocking Brittney out of her trance.

“What? Oh yeah,” Brittney said tiredly. She began shutting down her laptop.

“Do you mind if I use your bed to change?” Brittney grabbed a diaper from the open package and tossed it to Raquel on her way to the bathroom.

“Knock yourself out.” Raquel laid down on the bed after smoothing out a part of the covers. She had done this what felt like a million times, so she quickly changed into the clean diaper and rolled up the used one for disposal. She walked to the bathroom to throw it away, but on opening the door caught a glimpse of Brittney on the toilet.

“Sorry,” Raquel said closing the door quickly. After a few minutes Brittney came out of the bathroom wearing just a t-shirt and her underwear looking remarkably similar to Raquel. Raquel quickly threw her used diaper in the trash and walked with Brittney over to her bed.

“Ever heard of knocking?” Brittney said sarcastically.

“I don’t use the bathroom all that often.”

“Oh yeah I didn’t think about that.” Brittney said as she climbed into bed. Once Raquel joined her Brittney turned out the light on the night stand envoloping the two in near darkness, a small glimmer of light coming from the hallway glimmering from under Brittney's door was the only source of light.

“Are you ok with me sleeping with you?” Raquel asked shyly. “You know I like girls so ..."

“Raquel it’s a queen sized bed and you’re not even 5 feet tall there’s plenty of room for both of us,” Brittney said in a joking tone.

“Ok,” Raquel said getting comfortable being sure to give Brittney her space, probably more space than she needed.

“Hey Raquel?” Brittney asked in the dark.

“What’s up?” Raquel answered.

“I’m curious. How do they feel?”

“How do they feel?” Raquel repeated the question confused.

“Yeah, I was curious you know. Are they like uncomfortable?”

“Not really,” Raquel answered. “It’s different than regular underwear. Thicker, heavier, and more cottony.”

“Cottony?”

“Yeah cottony. What? You put me on the spot here I’ve never had to describe them before.”

“Is it like wearing a pad?”

“Don’t know. Never worn one.”

“What! Oh because the diaper does that anyway. Raquel that’s like a major plus, you don’t ever have to worry about being out of stuff when Aunt Flo comes to visit.”

“Are we really having this conversation right now?”

“I’m just saying. Hidden bonus.”

“Yeah but you only have to wear a pad like once a month.”

“Fair point.”

“Besides it’s not like having a period in these things is all sunshine and rainbows. Or I guess it's even less sunshine and rainbows than usual.”

“Ok ok I’m done with that question.”

“There’s more?”

“Please.”

“Fine. What’s the nest question?”

“How does it feel when you use them?”

“Warm and wet. If it’s a good diaper you don’t feel the wetness so much, but it swells up the more you do it. Makes it harder to walk, but you learn how to live with it.”

“So you don’t feel wet at all.”

“No you feel the wetness a little bit, but it’s supposed to wick it away from you so you don’t feel it as much. When you do start feeling more damp then it’s getting close to leaking.”

“Sounds like it’d feel gross.”

“It's not as gross as you’d think. Especially the first few times you use it. It’s just a warm sensation. After a while it gets cold and feels a little slimy, but even that I wouldn’t call gross just uncomfortable.”

“Do you ever … you know … in them?”

“Yes, but it’s not like I need to you know, it’s just hard to get them off quickly, so sometimes I just...”

“Hey no judgement here. Personally if I was stuck wearing diapers I think I’d just go the whole nine yards.”

“Well those have always been a little gross. It’s hot and sticky and it gives you a rash. And every now and then you pick up the smell. I usually change out of those immediately."

“I take back what I said earlier that sounds really gross.”

“Yeah it's not a good a time.”

“Ok last question promise. I know you have a small bladder, so do you like not know that you need to go? Does it just happen without warning?”

“Not exactly, well sometimes it is like that. I’ll go and not even know until I feel it in the diaper. But usually I do get the feeling of having to go, I just can’t hold it very long, or at all usually. I just get that feeling and within one or two seconds I’m already going.”

“Wow. I'm sorry if I'm bringing up some bad stuff. I was just curious is all.”

“You're fine. It does really suck sometimes. Like I don't know how the hell I'm supposed to be sexy in these," Brittney and Raquel giggled childishly at this. "But it could be worse, they are pretty comfy."

“Comfy huh.”

“Yeah they’re soft, and I just feel safe in them, or maybe I feel unsafe without them.”

“Probably a little of both.”

“You know you could try one on if you wanted to.”

“No I … no,” Brittney said flustered.

“What? I can tell you confidently it’s not as bad as people make it out to be. Plus it’ll be between us I won’t tell anybody.”

“Not now it’s still a little too weird for me, no offense.”

“No I get it. It’s how I feel with regular underwear. It’s not what I’m used to so it feels off.”

“Yeah I guess that’s it.”

“Only difference is you can wear my underwear just fine, but if I wear yours I ruin the carpet,” Raquel said in a joking manner.

“Tell you what next time I bring it up we can switch. That way we’ll both feel weird about it.”

“And the stain on your carpet?”

“I’ll clean it up.”

"You'd really do that?” Raquel said a little touched.

"Of course I would," Brittney said. "Just don't make a habit of it ok."

"I won't," Raquel laughed.

“Night Raquel. Thanks for answering all of my stupid questions.”

“Good night Brit."

I needed a distraction from all of my finals week stress so I decided to bang out another chapter. I feel like a broken record but again this sin't the chapter that's going to have the major difference, that should be the next chapter for real this time. I ended up adding a lot to this scene at Brittney's house so I made it it's own chapter. And I think it needed it. i had to introduce Brittney's mom, develop Brittney and Raquel's relationship a little more, and show Raquel acclimating to the idea that her friends now know that she wears diapers. I'm not usually one to brag but I'm actually really proud of the scene at the end of Raquel and Brittney talking while the lights are out. I didn't plan on that being in there, the idea just sorta came to me to have this scene with the dialogue interruptions being minimal, only being there when the conversation itself would pause. I think it turned out really good, but I'm not a good judge of my own writing so I'd appreciate feedback on that. Some smaller notes, I changed the name of Brittney's parents, because I was having a hard time remembering what they were so I worked their names into a subtle joke to help me remember. Other than that there's nothing major. As always hope you guys like it.

Content: Chapter 9

Raquel twiddled her thumbs anxiously as she sat in her last class of the day. Brittney had told Raquel to meet behind the school instead of going to the auditorium for practice like normal. She also insisted that everything would be fine and not to worry about it, but Raquel could not make herself be near as calm as Brittney was about the situation. It was, after all, essentially a coup d'etat, one that Raquel would rather not go through with at all. Raquel would rather just let this situation lie, but the rest of squad was not happy with the actions of their captain, and it seemed like they were angry enough to actually go through with this.

To Kelsey’s credit though, she seemed to have only sent the picture of Raquel to the cheer squad, and they must’ve been completely silent about it to everyone else because throughout the day no one treated Raquel any different than normal. If they had seen the photo of Raquel with a used baby diaper around her legs, Raquel was positive they would make her the subject of endless humiliation. The fact that they haven’t just means that they had not seen the picture. Raquel was thankful for that, but she still wasn’t looking forward to facing the squad with them knowing her secret. Most of them considered Raquel a friend, and some of them even looked up to her because of her natural talent. Raquel couldn’t help but feel that they would think less of her because she needed protection.

Raquel was snapped out of her trance by the bell ringing signaling the end of class. Well here goes, Raquel thought to herself. She picked up her backpack and began making her way to the agreed upon location. She began to appreciate her new diapers even more. Even though she had used them twice already that day, she felt confident they would continue to hold up. Without the added delay of going to the bathroom to change, Raquel could actually make it to a cheer meeting on time.

Raquel made it to a small field behind the school, where Brittney along with some of the other cheer leaders were waiting.

“You doing ok?” Brittney asked Raquel.

“Yeah I’m just a little nervous is all,” Raquel answered honestly. “Are you sure we need to do all of this.”

“Don’t worry about it. Getting rid of Kelsey is something that’s best for the whole squad. No one was happy with the stunt she pulled yesterday, and everyone else is sick of her walking all over us anyway. Oh there’s Coach Miles I need to talk to her,” With that Brittney ran off to Coach Miles who had just showed up. Raquel sat down in the grass next to some of the other cheer leaders as still more began to file in from the school. Most of them looked at Raquel with both worry and concern. Their looks soon turned to anger when Kelsey arrived flanked by two other members of the squad. She spoke to no one as she and the two cheer leaders with her took a seat away from the rest of the squad.

“Ok looks like everyone is here,” Coach Miles spoke up as the entire squad had finally arrived. “As I’m sure all of you know the captain of the squad is elected by the members. In the case where the captain fails to perform up to the squads standards they can be removed with a 2/3 vote by the squad. I’ll let you girls deliberate amongst yourselves I only suggest that each of you think calmly and carefully about how you vote.” Coach miles waited patiently while Brittney began speaking.

“Thanks everyone for coming,” Brittney began. “I think we’re all aware of what our current captain has done, and I think it’s safe to say that we as a squad won’t accept it.”

“I think we can agree that none of us appreciated getting that text,” One of the cheer leaders spoke up. “But I think we’re owed an explanation before we do anything rash.”

“Yeah,” came the voice of another. “No offense Raquel, but you pissed all over the floor and then ran off. We were worried, we didn't know what was going on. And now Brittney tells us to kick Kelsey out because of it."

“I think we just want to hear it from you,” said one of the members sitting by Kelsey. “Brittney is the one spearheading this whole thing not you. How do we know this isn’t Brittney using this as an excuse to kick Kelsey out and take the top spot for herself?” There were mutters of agreement from the crowd. Brittney looked to Raquel for help. Raquel took a deep breath and stood up.

“Kelsey has wanted me off of the squad since day one,” Raquel said nervously. “Before now all she could do was threaten me until she got that picture yesterday," Raquel grew even more nervous as she began to explain the picture. "Ever since I was a kid I’ve had … accidents,” Raquel said with difficulty. “I have to wear protection so I don’t have accidents like that. That day my … diaper broke, and Kelsey was there to take a picture of it, and she threatened to send it to the whole school if I didn’t quit the squad.”

“Oh please,” Kelsey said speaking up. “You don’t have any proof that I’ve been threatening you, and I didn’t send that picture out to the whole school. I only sent it out to the rest of the squad because you were hiding something from us, something that was affecting your performance.”

“Oh come off it Kelsey!” cam an angry voice from the crowd.

“Yeah I don’t buy that for a second,” came another voice. “The timing is just too perfect. You wanted to add on to Raquel’s embarrassment from her accident.”

“And she did that because she was scared of Raquel’s talent,” came the triumphant voice of Sarah Cooper. Sarah triumphantly stepped through the cheer leaders and faced Kelsey directly. Raquel looked on in surprise and awe as Sarah commanded attention. “You’ve always been this way Kelsey. You want the spotlight all to yourself; you were after my spot as captain ever since I let you on the squad. I could ignore it before, but now you’ve stooped to blackmail, and you’re blackmailing my sister no less. Clearly someone is still jealous even after I’m gone. It’s pathetic.”

“Look who’s talking,” Kelsey said angrily toward Sarah. “If you want to talk about hogging the spotlight then you need to look in the damn mirror Sarah Cooper. I was just as good as you, if not better, but you never once let me or anyone else have a moment in the spotlight. If I'm selfish then I learned from the best.”

“As if that excuses anything you’ve done,” Sarah said spitefully.

“What about what you’ve done,” Kelsey said accusingly. “Doesn’t anyone find it odd that a freshman with no experience, one that nobody knew was somehow voted captain of the squad?” At this comment several of the senior cheerleaders grew more serious.

“Oh great here we go with this again,” Sarah said dismissively.

“You can’t just blow this off like you always do Cooper,” Kelsey said vindictively. “You know one of the perks of having a mom that works for a law firm is access to some really old files.”

“Wow you’re really going down the rabbit hole this time.”

“No,” came the meek voice of another of the cheer leaders standing next to Kelsey. “I’ve seen the e-mail, its real Kelsey is right. Sarah didn’t win the vote to become captain, at least not the first time.”

“Sam?” Sarah said hurt. Sam didn’t look at Sarah as she continued.

“Her father helped the school out of legal trouble, in exchange for making Sarah captain of the cheer squad.”

“You never deserved anything you got in the first place,” Kelsey interjected. "You wouldn't be where you are now if daddy Cooper hadn't come to help."

“You can’t be serious?” Sarah said panicking.

“We are serious,” came the voice of another senior squad member. “We all knew that you shouldn’t have gotten the title when you did, but we didn’t say anything because you won, and then you kept winning, but we always knew that something was up.”

“Kelsey may not be the best person, but at least she earned her position,” Sam said speaking up again. “And she’s worked hard to do her best at it, and she had a reason to be defensive about it.”

“Another Cooper,” Kelsey said seriously. “And Coach Miles already bent the rules to let her try out, piratically begged her to be on the squad. I know Coach Miles wasn’t the same coach that fixed your vote, but what was I supposed to think?”

“We’re done with both of you,” said one of the cheerleaders. “Cheating and blackmail is not what this is supposed to be about.”

“So what now?” Kelsey asked. “Let me guess, Brittney nominates herself as captain. If you want something different then it’s not her. This is a power play nothing more. She wants the spotlight to herself, just like I did and just like Sarah did before me.”

“No I don’t,” Brittney said happily. “Because I’m nominating Raquel to be the new captain of the squad.” Raquel gasped.

“I second that,” Sarah said speaking up. “If you guys really want something different, than you want Raquel. She’s just as good as I was, and she isn’t selfish like I was, and if you do it now then you’ll know for sure that the vote isn’t fixed, that she earned it fair and square.”

“Right!” Brittney said happily. “Let’s start the vote. All in favor of replacing captain Kelsey Webster with captain Raquel Cooper please raise your hands.” One by one the members of the squad all raised their hands.

“I count two thirds,” Coach Miles said authoritatively. She handed Raquel the squads book of formations in an official manner “Raquel Cooper you are the new captain congratulations.” Raquel stood up astonished at the turn of events. A smile grew on her face as she slowly began to recognize what was happening.

“Thanks everyone,” Raquel said crying. “This means a lot to me. I promise I’ll do my best and I won’t let you guys down. From now on this squad isn't going to be about one person, it's going to be about everyone.” There was a round of applause from the cheer leaders including Sarah. Kelsey didn't stand or clap but glared at Raquel expectantly. Once the clapping died down the rest of the squad looked at Raquel.

"You know what you ahve to do about Kelsey," Brittney whispered into Raquel's ear. "She made her bed now let her lie in it. Nobody wants that kind of person around." Raquel tried to find Kelsey in the crowd, she was already leaving slowly but angrily walking off to her car.

"Kelsey Webster you're off the squad!" Raquel called out. Kelsey only stopped for a split second but otherwise kept walking away without another word. "I guess I'll see the rest of you tomorrow," Raquel continued nervously. "I need to figure out what exactly I'm supposed to do." There were murmurs and small giggles from the crowd as the rest of the squad began to leave. Most of them took time to stop and congratulate Raquel personally before leaving.

“Quite an upset,” Brittney said with a smirk to Raquel.

“You could’ve told me this was your plan you know,” Raquel said smiling.

“That wouldn’t have been as fun,” Brittney said giggling. “You deserve it though.” Brittney was interrupted by Sarah Cooper approaching nervously from behind. “Uhh I’ll leave you two to talk,” Brittney said not wanting to be a part of the awkward conversation that was about to occur. “I’ll catch you later.”

Sarah stood nervously not sure of what to say to Raquel. Raquel broke the ice by embracing Sarah in a hug.

“Good to see you too sis,” Sarah said hugging Raquel. “Listen Raquel … about what Kelsey said.”

“It’s just her lying Sarah,” Raquel said hopefully.

“No it’s not. I’m sorry Raquel. I was hoping I could be a good role model to you.” Sarah said regretfully.

“So everything she said was true?”

“Yeah. Kelsey is a lot of things, but she’s not a liar.” Raquel wasn’t sure of what to say. She had always looked up to her foster sister for all of her accomplishments. To find out that she had essentially cheated to do it gave Raquel a horrible feeling in her gut.

“Why?” Raquel asked.

“Because I wanted it. Dad was the one that came up with the idea, but I jumped on it immediately,” Sarah answered honestly. “It was a long time ago, back when we still had Coach Casey. I wish I had a better reason for you Raquel, but Kelsey was right. I was just being selfish. As I kept going, I got better. I tried to make up for cheating by doing a good job and making sure we won. I’m sorry Raquel I really am. I wish I was a better person for your sake.”

“It’s ok sis,” Raquel said putting her arm around Sarah. “If it helps I still look up to you.”

“That’s just because you’re short,” Sarah said playfully.

“Shut up I’m trying to be serious here,” Raquel said giggling. “It takes a lot to admit that you were just being selfish, and it was just the first election right?”

“Promise. I won the rest of them fair and square,” Sarah said proudly. “Still doesn’t stop me from feeling bad about it.”

“Hey don’t beat yourself up over it. You did something wrong, but you own up to it, and you learned from it. That’s something I can look up to. Besides you won regionals four years in a row it’s safe to say you did a good job regardless.”

“Gee sis isn’t the big sister supposed to give sage wisdom to the little sister. You’re flipping the script on me,” Sarah said happily.

"Do you think I should've let Kelsey stay?" Raquel asked concerned. "Brittney said that everyone else wanted her gone, but I don't know."

“That's a tough call," Sarah said seriously. "But you're going to have to make a lot of tough calls like that. I think you made the right choice though. Kelsey's good, but she needs a serious attitude adjustment before she'll ever be a team player. You'll do fine as captain. Come on I’ll drive you home, and show you a few tricks that I learned.”

***********

Cameron Cooper was sitting in his office when his phone rang. He glanced at the number, it was one he hadn’t heard from in a long time. He quickly answered the phone.

“Barbra Cheng,” He said annoyed. “To what do I owe the pleasure?”

“You know Raquel had to spend the night at my house last night. Care to explain what that was about?”

“I don’t know she doesn’t exactly tell me everything.”

“Would you like me to fill you in?”

“Yeah you can start by telling me what she was doing at your house.”

“She’s friends with Brittney, not that you care.”

“Please spare me the lecture Barbie I’ve heard it all before.”

“Fine. I just called to remind you that part of your deal was that you would take care of the girl.”

“I am taking care of her.”

“Really because it seems to me like you aren’t giving her the money she needs to buy basic necessities.”

“Diapers are not necessities for a teenager.”

“Cameron clearly she has some kind of medical problem, you have to support her.”

“If you’re concerned about my parenting style why don’t we just put Raquel back into the foster system? I’m sure her next parents will be more than accepting of her problem.”

“I wish you would take this more seriously Cameron, her livelihood is at stake.”

“Yeah well if you’re concerned about her livelihood why don’t you take her?”

“Fine Cameron be that way, but don’t expect any help from me when you get what’s coming to you. I’m just glad your wife doesn’t have a heart of stone like you do.” With that Barbra hung up. Cameron gave a scowl and he continued to sip on his glass of whiskey.

- - - Updated - - -

There you go chapter 9, the big climax of this second arc. In case you're unaware the big change here is that it's revealed that Sarah Cooper actually didn't get the title of captain of the cheer squad fairly, she used her dad's connections to cheat. I did this because I wanted to drive home the point that at the end of the day Sarah and Kelsey have a lot in common. This was hinted at in the original, but I wanted to drive the point home a little more. They both captained the squad with the same idea to make one person the main event. It's worked because they've survived off of the high morale from winning, but now that that's worn off this style is starting to have an effect on everyone else. It's also supposed to get you thinking that not ever character is what they seem at first glance. That was one of my big goals with my retelling, I wanted every character to have a motive for the things they are doing, and I didn't want those motivations to be wholly good or evil. I should probably clarify that the coach for the squad has changed since Sarah cheated, so Coach Miles wasn't around to pretest Sarah cheating that was the Coach before her. Just thought I should clarify that, otherwise it might seem confusing and weird that she would take this revelation in stride like she did. As always i hope you enjoy it.

A couple of things here:

Sarah is a graduate. Thus, if she was first elected captain as a freshman, none of the current team members were on that squad. They have all graduated as well. So none of them remembers that election.
Cameron Cooper is certainly capable of this kind of misdeed. But I have a hard time believing that a parent would collude with his daughter and the coach to get her elected. There is no need, and it clearly stands to undermine the girl's self-image. That Sarah was in on it stretches the imagination. It would be more likely to be an administrative bargain imposed on a coach who then fixed the election or some such thing.
I'm enjoying the rewrite.

[End of quote]

You're not wrong. My thinking was that the new members that came into the squad when Sarah was a sophomore (the ones that are seniors now) would have heard about it from everyone else that was already on the squad as it would have still been recent news. Plus they are coming into the squad with an incumbent captain who is a sophomore, so the question of how a freshman got elected would have been there especially with someone like Kelsey in that group. For you're second point the short answer is that it's more interesting if she was on in on it. But my reasoning was that Cameron was concerned that Sarah would've found out on her own or from someone else or that she wouldn't want that kind of help. And I didn't go into the specifics of what the deal was but it was basically the school admin pushing the coach at the time to change the vote at the behest of Cameron.

I should have explained that somewhere in the chapter. I admit that sometimes I'm really bad at explaining how things work/happened. I was worried that it might get a little boring if I went in to all of the details. When I finish I might go back and add in some flashbacks that help explain things. Thanks for the feedback I really appreciate it, and I'm glad you're enjoying it.

Kelsey, of course, wasn't on the squad in Sarah's freshman year either...

[End of quote]

Yeah she wasn't, she came in on Sarah's sophomore year, but she heard about Sarah's questionable election from the rest of the squad. All of the squad that was with Sarah as a freshman have already graduated, but Kelsey and the other squad members that are the same age as her also knew about it through word of mouth. A lot of them let it go because Sarah won that year, but Kelsey and a few others didn't.

Kelsey sighed from the passenger seat of her mom’s car as she was being driven to school. Her mom was no doubt in the middle of another long rant about how Kelsey had screwed up and lost her position on the squad, topped off with a reminder that a cheer scholarship was the only way she could afford college. Kelsey wasn’t paying attention. She had heard it all already, both from her mom and from herself. Finally her mom pulled up to the school and Kelsey quickly got out of the car.

“Sorry again for not allowing you to live vicariously through me, mom,” Kelsey said angrily.

“Listen here you little brat,” Kelsey’s mom began but Kelsey quickly shut the door on her cutting her off. She quickly made her way away from the car so her mom couldn’t have a chance to yell at her more.

It was remarkable to Kelsey how quickly her mother turned on her. She had seen it coming for sure, she was only ever happy when Kelsey was doing exactly what she wanted her to do. It was just coincidence that what Kelsey wanted and what she wanted were the same thing. Kelsey always knew the support wasn’t genuine. It was her mother just stroking her own ego, using Kelsey to live out some childhood fantasy she never got to have. Still Kelsey marveled at how fast she went from pseudo supportive to angry and disappointed. She didn't let it bother her though, Kelsey could ignore her mother easily enough and fight back when she needed to.

“Kelsey slow down,” Sadie said jogging to catch up to her friend.

“Sorry I didn’t realize how fast I was going,” Kelsey said as her friend caught up.

“You can’t do me like that,” Sadie said flattening out the skirt of her dress. “If I start running in this I’ll flash everyone.” Sadie was concerned about the dress she was wearing, a one piece pink dress with a floral pattern and small amounts of lace at the bottom.

“What’s with the wardrobe lately?” Kelsey asked, commenting on how the cute look wasn’t usually Sadie’s style.

“Oh just wanted to change it up,” Sadie said nervously. Kelsey could tell she was lying.

“You want to tell me the real reason?” Kelsey asked.

“It’s complicated,” Sadie answered ambiguously. “I don’t really want to get into it.” Sadie began to nervously fiddle with the skirt of her dress, trying to pull it down so it would cover more.

“Ok I’ll drop it,” Kelsey said not wanting to make her friend uncomfortable.

“Thanks,” Sadie said gratefully. She seemed to calm down and stopped fidgeting. “We should go get ice cream after school today, we haven’t done that in a while.” Sadie offered cheerfully.

“Nah I think I’m just going to go home,” Kelsey said melancholy.

“Come on, you’ve been moping at your house ever since you got kicked off of the squad.”

“Well yeah because it was important to me,” Kelsey said angrily. “The only way I was going to get to go to a decent college was through a cheer scholarship.”

“I know that,” Sadie said trying to calm Kelsey down. “I know you’re sad and I know it sucks, but locking yourself in your room all day isn’t going to help.”

“And getting ice cream with you will?”

“It’s something to do besides mope,” Kelsey was silent for a while in though. “Please Kelsey, I’ve been worried about you.”

“Ok fine, we’ll go get ice cream,” Kelsey said smiling.

“Yay!" Sadie said clapping. "nothing cheers you up more than stuffing your face full of ice cream.” Sadie was cut off by the bell ringing. “Meet me in the parking lot after school alright. Can't wait.” Sadie said as she walked toward her class.

Kelsey smiled. She was lucky to have a friend like Sadie, one who genuinely cared about her enough to put aside what was bothering her to make sure Kelsey was all right. Kelsey made a mental note to return the favor after she had gotten over this whole thing. Clearly something was up with Sadie, and Kelsey cared about Sadie as much as Sadie cared about Kelsey. Kelsey wished that the mutual care they had for each other would blossom in to something more than friendship, but Sadie had expressed time and time again that she wasn’t in to girls, so Kelsey had to settle with having Sadie as a best friend and not a girlfriend. Still she was the best friend Kelsey needed right now and she was happy to have her.

*****

Raquel sat in her seat trying to focus on the lecture that was being given, but she couldn’t. She had a lot going through her mind, not the least of which was her still struggling with her duties as captain of the cheer squad. It had been a week since she had replaced Kelsey, and while she was getting the hang of it, she still had trouble remembering the more obscure formations and telling the other cheer leaders where they needed to improve. On top of that she had been trying to come up with several new routines to fit the squad’s new direction. The problem therein was how you make everyone feel like they had their time in the spotlight, and still make the routine entertaining. Despite her struggles though, the squad was happy with her as captain thus far, the change in leadership seemed to energize them.

There was also another thing weighing heavily on Raquel’s mind, and that was Kelsey. It first came to her attention when some of the squad members expressed concern about Raquel kicking her from the squad. Raquel shared these doubts. For one Kelsey was a really good cheer leader. As she said herself she was just as good if not better than Sarah was. More troubling though was that Raquel had the feeling that Brittney lied about or overstated the rest of the squad's desire to have Kelsey kicked off. Most of them, as it turns out, wanted her to stay even if they didn't like her and weren’t sad to see her gone. It made Raquel think more about what Kelsey said that day. That Brittney was just using Raquel to get power for herself. No doubt Kelsey would say that Brittney manipulated Raquel to kick Kelsey off of the squad because she was too much competition for Brittney. The part that troubled Raquel was that she couldn’t disprove this theory.

The bell rang signaling the end of class and students filed out rushing to get to their next classes as the teacher attempted to assign reading that no one would do anyway. Out of politeness Raquel quickly wrote down the assignment before leaving, but like the rest of the class she already knew that she was going to blow it off.

Raquel began walking to her last class. She realized that she must’ve had an accident while deep in her thoughts because she felt her diaper was thicker than when the class started. Thankfully the new diapers Raquel were wearing could last her all day if they needed to. On days when she didn’t have cheer practice Raquel didn’t even bother with bringing a change as she could comfortably go through the whole day with just one diaper. She was also hoping to avoid running out of diapers again by cutting back on the amount of changes she did. This wasn’t really necessary because as soon as Jennifer learned about the incident she bought Raquel several cases of diapers in various styles. In fact Raquel had so many that storing them was starting to become an issue, currently several packages were just sitting on her bedroom floor as all of the other storage spaces had been taken up.

Raquel suddenly became startled by someone calling her name.

“Raquel,” came a familiar sounding voice. It took a moment for Raquel to recognize that the voice came from none other than her crush Alicia Kent.

“Alicia?” Raquel asked under her breathe. Alicia had gone through some drastic changes since the last time she and Raquel spoke. Here hair was dyed bubble gum pink, and she was now sporting a nose and lip ring. She was also wearing what was just barely complying the school’s dress code. She wore a short sleeve shirt that left plenty of room for her to show off what Raquel though was an unbelievable amount of cleavage, and she was also sporting a school girl style skirt that just barely covered to her knees, and left a small amount of midriff exposed. She also had a red nylon cat collar around her neck with a tag and small bell. It immediately made Raquel think of one of the cheer leaders on the squad who also regularly sported a collar, but whereas she was generally modest, Alicia was anything but. Her very stance seemed to invite members of the opposite sex to look at her, and her clothes gave them plenty to admire. It was all almost too much for Raquel. Raquel had a crush on her before, and while she was uneasy about her friend wearing that kind of outfit, and acting so proactively, she couldn’t deny that it was having the intended effect on her. Raquel’s fluttery heart came back ten times when she looked at Alicia now.

“It’s been so long Raquel,” Alicia said hugging Raquel. Raquel nervously hugged her back. “You’ve certainly been busy haven’t you? Head cheerlead huh.”

“Yeah,” Raquel said quietly, trying to hide the fact that she was ogling Alicia and silently cursing herself for doing so thinking she was better than that. “You’ve been busy too, I can’t believe your mom let you get a nose ring.”

“Well it was Chase’s idea, mom didn’t like it but Chase loved it so I think I’m going to keep it.” So Chase is the one behind all of this? Raquel thought to herself.

“Good for Chase then,” Raquel said barley able to hide her disdain for Chase, who had turned a decent girl into the walking sex symbol that appeared before Raquel. It was at this point that Raquel also noticed Alicia’s red tinted eyes and a slight shakiness to her, and she had been around enough drug abuse in the foster system to recognize the early warning signs. God what has he done to you? Raquel thought sadly.

“Yeah,” Alicia said trailing off a little. “So I was wondering, since you’re the new captain and all, if you could give me a spot on the cheer squad?”

“Alicia I don’t know,” Raquel answered.

“Please,” Alicia begged. “I won’t get in the way I promise, it’s just to get my mom off of my back. I’ll get the water, or clean the floors or something.” Raquel knew she should say no. She had just been cursing herself for allowing herself to be manipulated by Brittney so easily, and now Alicia is doing the exact same thing to her. Raquel struggled as she looked at Alicia leaning over biting the top of her lip waiting for an answer. Just looking at Alicia caused Raquel’s judgement to falter.

“Ok you'll start tomorrow,” Raquel said giving in. “Come by the gym after your last class and we’ll get you a uniform, but I’m expecting you to do your part. Cheer leading is more than dancing, so until you learn the ropes just watch and learn ok.”

“Thank you thank you thank you,” Alicia said happily. She gave Raquel another hug and ran off happily. Raquel had to take a moment to calm down. She definitely shouldn’t have done that, she should’ve just told Alicia the squad has already been decided. At least Raquel knew that Alicia could dance, she’d seen it herself as the two of them spent the summer together in a dance class. So that talent could translate pretty easily into good cheer leading, but it still didn’t look good.

Raquel made it to her last class of the day with barely any time to spare as the conversation with Alicia had taken up a good portion of her commute time. As she and the last of the students began to take their seats the teacher for the class, an average looking man with slightly unkempt hair, spoke up.

“Today we are going to assign each of you to a senior classmate to help them with their project,” As he said this there was a series of groans from the students. “It’s not all bad, calm down. You’ll have three months to finish. The seniors have already decided their topics. We want you and your senior partner to work together and write a five page report and a short presentation about your topic. You will be graded based on how much you help your partner as well as the quality of the report so don’t expect to be able to slack off while your partner does all of the work.” There was a pause as the teacher made sure everyone understood. He then motioned for the senior class to come in, and they all stood in a line at the front of the classroom. Raquel tuned the man out as he began calling out the pairings. The last thing she need right now was a big project to work on, especially if the project was nothing more than her being a gopher for a senior while they did all of the real work. Raquel tuned back in when she heard her name.

“Raquel Cooper, you will be paired with Kelsey Webster.” Kelsey started choking on the water she was drinking at the announcement. The two hadn’t even noticed each other until that moment. Once Kelsey managed to catch her breathe she gave Raquel and an angry look. Raquel shrank under the gaze of Kelsey and slid back in her desk hiding her face behind a book.

- - - Updated - - -

there you go another chapter. Sorry for the wait on this one. I actually moved into a new apartment between the last chapter and now so I just haven't had the time to edit it with all of that going on. But it's here now so that's good. A lot of this chapter is setting up for the next arc sort of letting everyone know how Raquel feels now that she's the captain and Kelsey is off on her own. I don't think there's any differences between my version in the original in this chapter, it's pretty much beat for beat as a lot of it is set up. As always I hope you guys enjoy it, I'll see you next time.

Content: Chapter 11

“Wow partners with Kelsey Webster,” Brittney said surprised. “What are the chances? First she was your babysitter now your lab partner. You sure you aren't in a cheesy romance novel?” Raquel and Brittney were sitting on the bleachers of the auditorium. Cheer practice had just ended of few of the other squad members were hanging around eating the complimentary meal from the cafeteria. Raquel and Brittney were just finishing theirs as they continued talking.

“Yeah I’m not sure how I feel about it,” Raquel said throwing her plate away in a nearby trash can. “We aren’t meeting tonight so that’s good, but it’s not something I’m looking forward to.”

“Yeah talk about awkward,” Brittney said as she threw her plate away. “You going to fill me in on the squad's newest addition?” Brittney said accusingly as Alicia Kent left with a small wave to Raquel.

“She was an old friend that needed some help ok,” Raquel said defensively. Raquel began to make her way to the front of the school as she continued talking with Brittney. “I can let whoever I want on the squad.”

“My bad,” Brittney said backing off. “Didn’t mean to question you. It’s just, I can’t help but think she’s just doing it because Chase has a thing for cheer leaders.”

“Don’t worry about it. Even if that’s true, I took dance class with her this summer. She’s good at dancing and that’ll transfer over the cheer leading easy enough. I wouldn't have let her join if I didn't think she could pull her own weight.”

“If you say so,” Brittney said with a hint of disbelief. “In better news Ryan asked me out to the dance tomorrow night.”

“Really,” Raquel said interested. “You two sure hit it off fast.”

“Yeah,” Brittney said blushing. “Turns out we have a lot in common. Anyway we were wondering if you wanted to tag along with us.”

“No I would just be a third wheel,” Raquel said meekly. “Besides these school dances aren’t really my thing.”

“Come on Raquel you aren’t going to find a nice man, well woman, for yourself if you don’t put yourself out there some more,” Brittney said trying to convince Raquel. “And worst case scenario you just spend two hours standing around drinking punch by yourself.”

“That sounds awful,” Raquel said bluntly.

“Nah don’t worry I'll be there and I'll make it fun.” It was at this point that Raquel knew she wasn’t going to be able to say no.

“Fine,” Raquel said reluctantly. “But I already told Kelsey I would meet with her tomorrow so you’ll have to pick me up from her house after we're done.”

“Fine I can stomach Kelsey long enough to pick you up.” Brittney and Raquel had made their way out of the school. Brittney’s mom was already waiting by the curb in her car to pick Brittney up.

“Hey Raquel,” Barbra called happily from the front of her car. “Did you need a ride home?”

“No I can walk,” Raquel said confidently.

“Suit yourself,” Brittney said as she got in the car. “I’ll call you later tonight and make plans. Catch you later.” Brittney shut the door and waved good bye to Raquel. As Brittney’s mother drove off Raquel caught Kelsey out of the corner of her eye waiting by the curb impatiently looking at her phone. Has she been here since school ended? Raquel thought to herself. If she had then she would have waited through all of cheer practice which was two hours long. Whoever was supposed to pick her up was clearly late. Kelsey seemed mad enough as it was so Raquel decided to forgo any interaction with her and just start on her way home. As Raquel began her walk home she saw what must have been Kelsey’s mother came by to finally pick her up. Raquel couldn’t make out what was being said but almost as soon as the door opened the two were yelling at each other.

As Kelsey got in to the car Raquel couldn’t help but notice that the car looked familiar to her. She knew that Kelsey and her mother shared a car, but that wasn’t it. It was when the car drove past her that it clicked. She suddenly flashed back to several weeks ago. Parked in front of the Cooper law office, subtly shaking as two mysterious figures inside it moved around passionately. It was the same car. The car that was now speeding past her, with Kelsey and her mother arguing angrily inside of it, was the same car Raquel saw in front of Mr. Cooper’s office.

As the gears and Raquel’s head began turning another thought came flooding in. Kelsey said something before she got kicked off. She said that her mother worked as a secretary for a lawyer. And now it made sense why Kelsey was sent over to her house to babysit, she was recommended by someone. Cameron’s assistant, Kelsey’s mother, and Cameron’s lover were all the same person.

“Oh my God!” Raquel said aloud as the realization set in. Cameron Cooper was cheating on his wife with Kelsey’s mom.

******

Jennifer pulled in front of the Webster house. It was late in the day and the moon was obscured by clouds, so Raquel couldn't make out the entirety of the house, but judging from what little she could see illuminated by a light on the door it was on the small side. A modest house in the middle of a neighborhood of similar looking houses.

“Thanks for driving me mom,” Raquel said meekly as she grabbed her backpack and got out of the car.

“Sure thing sweetie,” Jennifer said happily. “Did you bring a change?” She whispered in a quieter voice.

“I’ve got one in my backpack,” Raquel said tapping her backpack.

“Ok dear, and you said Brittney was picking you up later?”

“Yes mom,” Raquel said eager to finish the conversation.

“Ok I was just asking. Try to have fun and be safe. Call me if you need me.” Jennifer blew a kiss as she slowly drove off.

Raquel grimly approached the door. She had been dreading this all day. She was barely able to keep from telling Mrs. Cooper about Cameron’s affair before, but know that she knew the identity of the lover it had become even harder to keep the secret. Raquel highly doubted she could keep the secret from Kelsey, if she didn’t already know it.

Raquel gently knocked on the door. After a bit of shuffling around inside a tall blonde haired man answered the door.

“Hello,” he said friendly. “You must be Raquel.”

“Yeah,” Raquel said meekly.

“I’m Kelsey’s father Eric Webster, truck driver extraordinaire,” Eric said laughing. “Or I like to think I am anyway.” Of course she has a husband. Her and Cameron were made for each other, Raquel thought. “Kelsey is in the living room, I’ll bring you girls something to eat in a bit. Try to play nice ok,” Eric said subtly hinting that he knew there was drama between her and Kelsey.

“Ok,” Raquel said shyly. She made her way to the living room where Kelsey was pouring through some notes. “Hey,” Raquel said calmly. Kelsey looked up.

“Hey,” She said in a tired tone of voice.

“So I uhh …” Raquel began but Kelsey stopped her with a hand.

“I’ve got some books over there. We’re doing our project on deep sea geothermal vents,” Kelsey said authoritatively. “I’ll call out some topics and I want you to look them up in those books and pick out some important sounding quotes ok.” Raquel nodded in understanding. “If you’re confused just let me know, but really just find anything that sounds smart. Even if you think it’s not related I can work it in there somehow. Once we have some things to go by we can think start writing around it.”

“Ok how should I? …”

“First topic is tectonic plates,” Kelsey said cutting Raquel off again. Raquel immediately began to comb through the books. Clearly Kelsey was avoiding conversation, but Raquel wasn’t interested in talking all that much either so she just focused on the work Kelsey was assigning her.

“Alright you two,” Eric said breaking the silence. He gingerly sat two bowls of soup down on a coffee table in the living room. “I’ve got to go on some runs again. Try not to burn the house down while I’m gone ok.”

“How long are you going to be gone this time,” Kelsey said standing up.

“Three weeks,” Eric said solemnly. “Remember to call me every night ok.”

“Ok,” Kelsey said getting up to embrace her father in a hug. “Bye daddy.”

“Bye sweetheart,” Eric said kissing Kelsey on the forehead. Kelsey stood and watched as her father left the house. The sweet scene was finally too much for Raquel.

“Kelsey,” Raquel said speaking up.

“What?” Kelsey asked plainly.

“Your mom," Raquel said stuttering a bit.

“What about her?”

“Kelsey she’s … she’s,” Raquel was struggling to say what she needed to.

“She’s what?” Kelsey asked aggravated.

“I don’t know how to say it?” Raquel said continuing to falter.

“Don’t waste my time Cooper. I swear if you came over here just to mess with me…”

“She’s cheating on him!” Raquel finally blurted out. “She’s cheating on your dad with Mr. Cooper.” Kelsey didn’t say anything in response, but she didn’t seem surprised.

“How long have you known?” Kelsey asked quietly.

“I’ve known about him cheating for a while. I only figured out it was with your mom yesterday. I recognized her car when she came to pick you up after school.” Kelsey didn’t say anything. “I’m sorry Kelsey,” Raquel said sadly.

“Come on,” Kelsey said abruptly.

“What?”

“I said come on. We're leaving.” Kelsey walked toward the door grabbing car keys as she went. Raquel followed Kelsey out of her house and in to her car confused.

“Where are we going?” Raquel asked as Kelsey started her car.

“I know where they are,” Kelsey said angrily. She pulled the car out of the driveway, and began driving down several winding roads.. “Mom gave me some bs story about meeting clients for dinner, but now I know what she’s really doing.”

“Kelsey!” Raquel said alarmed as Kelsey’s driving became more and more reckless.

“I know exactly where she is. The same overpriced restaurant she takes all of her gentleman callers.”

“Kelsey I don’t know if this is a good idea,” Raquel said hanging on the handle inside the car with a death grip.

“I need to see it,” Kelsey said angrily. She drove toward the water reservoir that resided outside of town. On the edge of it sat a nice French themed restaurant with fancy chairs and romantic candles overlooking the closest thing the town had to a scenic river. The restaurant itself was filled with underpaid waiters, overpaid guests, and an overall sense of smug satisfaction. Kelsey quickly drove her car into the parking lot that was on top of a hill nearby the restaurant. Kelsey parked and quickly exited the car with Raquel following concerned.

“Kelsey wait!” Raquel said concerned. Kelsey didn’t seem to hear Raquel, she marched to the edge of the hill and got a good vantage point of the restaurant’s outdoor seating area. Kelsey pulled out her phone and used the camera to zoom in closer and get a better look at the patrons. Raquel watched from behind as she slowly scanned the crowd.

“There,” Kelsey said honing in on the two of them. “Predictable as ever. The whore.” Kelsey gave Raquel her phone to see for herself. Sure enough there was Mr. Cooper and Mrs. Webster sitting together very obviously flirting and sharing quick kisses. “This is her third one,” Kelsey said silently fuming. “At least the third one I’ve known about, no telling how many she’s actually been with over the years. She doesn’t deserve dad, but I can’t tell him about it. He couldn’t take it. He’s been with her for this long on what he thinks is love. It’d crush him if he found out the truth.”

“I’m sorry Kelsey,” Raquel said sadly.

“It’s fine. I’m used to it by now,” Kelsey said calmly. “Or I should be used to it, but I’m not.” Kelsey sat down on the trunk of the car. After a brief moment Raquel sat next to her.

“I know how you feel. Jennifer is the nicest person I’ve ever met, she’d do anything for her children me included, and she works hard to make us happy. Seeing her and knowing what Mr. Cooper is doing. It’s wrong, but I can’t tell her. Mr. Cooper threatened to have me put back in to foster care if I told her.”

“Really?” Kelsey asked shocked. “I’ve never talked with him much, but he sounds like and asshole.”

“That’s putting it lightly,” Raquel replied rolling her eyes.

“Then I guess he and my mom are a match made in heaven,” There was a brief pause as Raquel and Kelsey looked out in to the night sky. The quiet moment was interrupted as Raquel’s phone vibrated. Raquel pulled her phone out of her purse, it was Brittney texting her about the school dance that was due to start any minute.

“Big plans tonight?” Kelsey asked peeking over to see the contents of Raquel's message.

“Yeah, Brittney and Ryan are taking me to the dance tonight. I was going to give them a call to come pick me up,” Raquel said as she began to reply to Brittney.

“Wait Raquel.” Raquel stopped and looked at Kelsey. “I’m sorry alright. I’m sorry about everything.”

“Kelsey you don’t have to.”

“Shut up I do have to. I was awful to you. I was being selfish and petty just like she is. I'm better that that I should be better than that." Kelsey was begging to tear up. "You deserve to be the captain, more than I do.”

“Kelsey,” Raquel said quietly. “That means a lot. I’m sorry I kicked you off of the squad. I shouldn’t have. I got caught up in the moment and did what I thought everyone wanted, but they didn’t really want it all. I just shouldn’t have let you go like that. You worked hard on that squad and I took it all away from you.”

“Well I guess now we’re both sorry then,” Kelsey said giggling. Raquel joined in. The two looked at each other for a moment, and Raquel felt an unfamiliar feeling in her gut. She saw Kelsey differently than she usually did, it was as if she had a glow that wasn’t there before. Raquel felt like she could finally see past her hard exterior and into the kind person underneath.

Kelsey too saw something different. She looked into Raquel and saw years of hardship. She could see the numerous foster homes, and all of the mistreatment she had been dealt like it was written on her skin, each subtle change in her posture seemed to turn the page in the book that was her life and Kelsey could read it all, and it made her want to embrace Raquel in a hug.

The two didn’t know it but they had slowly moved closer and closer together until now they were only inches apart, staring into each other’s eyes. They could feel each other’s breathe, and they each could tell that the other was struggling to catch it.

Raquel grabbed Kelsey’s hand, and their fingers interlocked with each other tightly, as if their hands were made to fit together. With a sudden motion Kelsey gave Raquel a quick kiss on the mouth but backed off just as quickly and moved away from Raquel.

“I’m sorry,” Kelsey said flustered. “I shouldn’t have done that.” Raquel continued to stare Kelsey in the eyes. Raquel bit her lip and quickly closed the distance between her and Kelsey.

“Don’t be sorry,” Raquel said in a fluttery voice. “I liked it. I want more.”

“Are we really doing this?” Kelsey asked taken aback. Raquel responded by kissing Kelsey passionately on the lips knocking the two of them back on the trunk of Kelsey’s car. Raquel’s phone vibrated. More messages from Brittney who was waiting for Raquel to tell her whether or not she was ready. Raquel ignored these messages, she didn’t want this moment with Kelsey to end.

Content: Alright another chapter done. When I was writing my outline, I could never make up my mind whether or not I wanted Raquel to know that Mr. Cooper was seeing Mrs. Webster right away, or have her find out later. Clearly I chose to let her find out later but each came with it's own pitfalls. If Raquel knew right away then the trouble was rationalizing why she would go so long without telling Kelsey, and then suddenly decide to tell her now, but with the way i went it kinda feels rushed, she finds out who the lover is and immediately tells Kelsey, there wasn't any time to process that reveal, or at least that's what I was worried about anyway. So I'd appreciate feedback on that. Not that that reveal was supposed to be the star of the show, that honor goes to the "sparks flying" moment between Kelsey and Raquel. I was joking to myself that this is the one chapter where we don't actually see a diaper and I had to show off the lesbians to keep people interested. Didn't intend to do that, it just happened to pan out that way. As always i hope you guys enjoyed it.

Oooooo! *cue cliched romantic music* Seriously though, thanks for the update. If the original Author was still active in the scene I dare say she would give your rewrite a solid thumbs up.

[End of quote]

wow you were quick on the draw usually I have time to post my notes afterward and have it show up right underneath. She actually did reach out to me on wattpad (at least I think it was her could be anyone really) said she was enjoying it so far so that's good.

Like everyone else im loving the rewrite keep up the good work

Random questions: Did you consciously remove the part of the last chapter where Raquel wet ger diaper instead of asking Kelsey where the bathroom was?.

[End of quote]

yes and no. I didn't remove that scene specifically, but I did have a moment planned where Kelsey was about to show Raquel where the bathroom was but stopped herself short. It wasn't to make fun of Raquel she felt bad for bringing up what was still a sore subject between them. I didn't include it because it just seemed like a random addition to me. Like I was just checking the mention diapers box because I had to. I just ruined the pacing so I cut it, and I didn't miss it so I think I made the right call. The scene where Raquel wet her diaper here must not have been a highlight for me because I didn't note it when I was writing down the high points of each chapter.

Content: Chapter 12

Kelsey groggily turned over on her bed, she glanced at the empty pile of blankets on the floor that Raquel had slept on last night, and could smell eggs cooking in the kitchen. With a smile on her face Kelsey walked the short distance from her room to the kitchen. Raquel was frying eggs mixing in whatever spices the Webster’s had in their kitchen, wearing one of Kelsey’s shirts over her diaper. Kelsey wasn’t that much bigger than Raquel though so the look of wearing the boyfriend’s oversized shirt that Raquel was trying to go for, wasn’t working that well.

“Making breakfast?” Kelsey asked Raquel. Raquel jumped a little as Kelsey startled her.

“You scared me,” Raquel said struggling to maintain control of her frying pan. “Yeah I hope you don’t mind, but I stole some of your food.”

“No it’s fine,” Kelsey said happily. “You’re probably better at it than I am anyway. Dad is the only one in the family that can actually cook.”

“Well you got down here just in time,” Raquel said cheerfully raking the eggs on to two plates. She brought them over to the small table where Kelsey was waiting. “Dig in,” Raquel said as she sat the plate down in front of Kelsey. Kelsey took a bite and her face lit up.

“Wow I didn’t know you were such a good cook,” Kelsey said beginning to eat faster.

“Yeah, old foster parents would always make me cook. Eventually I learned to get better at it. Even if there aren't any good ingredients around.” Raquel nonchalantly kept eating but Kelsey slowed down thinking she had unintentionally brought up a bad memory for Raquel. Raquel didn’t seem bothered though.

“So I see you decided to borrow one of my shirts?” Kelsey asked. Raquel grew red in the face.

“I always hear girls brag about how big and comfortable their boyfriend’s shirts are,” Raquel said shyly.

“Doesn’t really work when we’re about the same size, and what was that about boyfriends?”

“Oh I didn’t mean,” Raquel said fumbling. “I thought we were.”

“Relax I’m just teasing you,” Kelsey said laughing. “You’re so on guard all of time.”

“Well this is weird for me,” Raquel said defensively. “I haven’t done this before.”

“It’s ok,” Kelsey said calmingly. “I haven’t either, at least not with another girl.”

“We have to talk about it don’t we?” Raquel said already regretting the conversation.

“Of course we do.”

“But I don’t want to,” Raquel said almost whining. “Why can’t we just … you know. And not complicate things.”

“You mean friends with benefits,” Kelsey said bluntly.

"No," Raquel said not liking the connotation of the term. "I don't know."

“That’s not a bad thing to be Raquel. We can just be friends with benefits if you want to, but even that will eventually lead to a more serious relationship. And besides I get the feeling that you want something more than friends with benefits.”

“I do Kelsey, but I don’t know if I’m ready for that. You really hurt me. You hit me where I’m weakest.”

“I know,” Kelsey said passionately. “I was a jerk, and I was mean. We have something here though. At least I know I have something here.” Raquel did not seem convinced by Kelsey’s speech. Kelsey sighed and gave up. “It’s ok. I’ll take you home. I just want you to think about it. I think we could be really happy together.”

“Ok I will,” Raquel said more positively. “I need to go change and then we can go,” Raquel said getting up.

“Oh don’t worry about it you can keep the shirt,” Kelsey said cheerfully.

“No I mean I need to change,” Raquel said gesturing downward with her head.

“Oh,” Kelsey said embarrassed. “Do you need my help or anything?” Kelsey asked wanting to be helpful.

“No I got it,” Raquel said getting the extra diaper she packed out of her backpack.

“It’s really not a bother to me,” Kelsey added.

“It bothers me though,” Raquel said in a serious tone. She grabbed the diaper and made her way to Kelsey’s room closing the door behind her leaving Kelsey alone in the living room.

“Idiot,” Kelsey said cursing herself. “You came on to strong what was that. Let me help? God what is wrong with you Kelsey,” Kelsey said louder than she knew. Raquel could hear her from the other side of the door as she changed herself into a clean diaper. Raquel wasn’t quite ready to forgive Kelsey yet, but she was oddly touched by the girl’s self-deprecating rant. Kelsey knew she messed up and it seemed like she was honestly trying to make it up to Raquel. Granted she wasn’t trying all that hard to make it up to her before they kissed, but Raquel was also content to never speak to Kelsey again after what she had done. Now that they shared that moment though, Raquel couldn’t deny that there was something between them. She just didn’t want to deal with the complications of a real romantic relationship, at least not one with Kelsey. Raquel lost track of what she was doing and had auto piloted her way through the diaper change to the point where she was surprised when she had finished. Raquel emerged from Kelsey’s bedroom used diaper awkwardly in hand, Kelsey was trying to hide the fact that she was waiting on Raquel.

“Can I throw this away?” Raquel asked embarrassed.

“Yeah,” Kelsey said obviously trying not to make a big deal out of it. Raquel quickly disposed of the used diaper in the trash and grabbed her back pack that now had her clothes from the day before in it.

“Ok I’m ready to go,” Raquel said as Kelsey walked Raquel out to Kelsey’s car.

It was a quiet car ride back to Raquel’s house. Neither Raquel nor Kelsey knew exactly what to say to break the awkward silence for the entire trip. It wasn’t long before they arrived at their destination. Kelsey got out to walk Raquel to the door, and finally broke the silence as Raquel was unlocking it.

“I had fun,” Kelsey said happily.

“I did too,” Raquel answered honestly, but quickly.

“Can we do it again some time?”

“Sure,” Raquel said as she opened the door. She casually walked inside and put her back pack down next to the kitchen counter leaving Kelsey waiting at the door.

“Hey Kelsey,” Raquel said moving back to the door where Kelsey was waiting. “I want you to come back on the cheer squad,” Raquel said abruptly. “I think I jumped the gun when I let you go, and we could really use you.”

“Really,” Kelsey said giddily.

“Yeah really. I’m sorry I ever took you off to begin with. And I think maybe we could use the time to get to know each other a little better,” Raquel said flirtatiously.

“That’d be nice,” Kelsey said quietly. The two paused somewhat uncomfortably. They both wanted to give a good bye kiss but didn’t know how to initiate. Eventually Raquel shyly moved her face closer to Kelsey’s, and Kelsey quickly returned by giving Raquel a quick kiss on the cheek. The two backed off but seemed unsatisfied with the encounter. They moved in for another kiss, this one immediately became more passionate. Kelsey stopped it with an alarmed noise when she felt Raquel’s hand tightly grip her around her back.

“Sorry,” Raquel said awkwardly. Though Kelsey rejected the advance the two were still embracing each other loosely.

“Yeah a little too intense for the morning,” Kelsey said giggling. “Somewhere in between those two is good though.”

“We’ll work on it,” Raquel said cheekily. The two stopped their embrace and with a flirty wave Raquel closed the door. Raquel watched Kelsey get back into her car from a window in the kitchen, catching the girl do a small happy dance in the driveway. Raquel smiled happily as Kelsey did her happy dance with no idea Raquel was watching her. Raquel glanced at her phone to see numerous text notifications from Brittney, wondering where she was the night before.

It was at this point that Raquel came to the realization that not only would she have to explain that she let Kelsey back on the squad, but also her and Kelsey’s now more complicated relationship. Well this will get interesting, Raquel thought to herself as she began responding to Brittney.

Sorry about the longer than usual wait on this one. Abby's diapers got taken down from wattpad for some reason (they never told me) so I've been spending the last week and a half rereading it and editing it for content so I could repost it, hopefully I won't have any more issues with it and I can get back to focusing on this. Anyway this is a short chapter, one that doesn't really have any parallel in the original story. That's because in the original Raquel and Kelsey had this sort of not quite together not quite not together thing going on, with the intention of making them have a full blown relationship in future books. Since I don't intend to write any more books though I'm going to make Raquel and Kelsey more of an actual couple then they were in the original. Having all fo that on again off again stuff with no eventual payoff would just be frustrating for the readers and for me to write, plus I found out in my pony fan fics that I really like writing relationships. This chapter was meant for the two of them to get some stuff out in the open, mainly that Kelsey wants something more than just a passion fueled relationship, but Raquel doesn't really trust Kelsey enough to let her into her life like that. Another difference between this and the original is that here Raquel asks Kelsey to come back to the cheer squad, in the original it was the other way around, and it didn't happen until a little later down the line too. I did this as a way of Raquel showing Kelsey that she is willing to give a serious relationship between the two of them a chance and was giving them a way to spend more time together and as a way to make Kelsey happier. So anyway this is a short little addition to my version, and you should expect more from Rakelsey (Raquelsey?) in the coming chapters. As always I hope you guys enjoy it.

Content: Chapter 13

Raquel sat next to Brittney who was angrily shaking her head as the other cheer leaders were helping Kelsey learn some of the new routines they had changed since she left. Most of them were happy to see her back.

“I take it you’re not happy,” Raquel said gingerly as her friend was silently fuming.

“No I’m not happy,” Brittney said angrily. “After everything she’s done, how awful she was.”

“Brit she’s apologized, a lot. And I’m still the one in charge so I’ll be here to keep her in line.”

“Good you’ll need too.”

“I’m here to keep everyone in line,” Raquel said seriously. “We're all going to have to get along as a team if we want to win, and you do want to win right?”

“I do,” Brittney said begrudgingly.

“Right and like it or not we need her to win.”

“Agree to disagree,” Brittney said with disdain. Raquel looked away from Brittney uncomfortably. “Whatever she told you while you were away at her house must have been convincing,” Brittney said accusingly.

“Brittney,” Raquel said angrily. “It wasn’t like that and if it was that’s none of your business.”

“I can tell you’re lying,” Brittney said bluntly. “Wasn’t like that my ass. You’ve got a crush and a bad habit of letting your crushes on to the squad,” Brittney said gesturing to Alicia Kent who has hanging out with some of the other squad members. Raquel huffed angrily not having a good response to this. “Be mad at me all you want you know I’m right, and forgive me if I’m a little peeved that you bailed on me and Ryan to go suck face with Kelsey Webster.”

“I’m sorry I bailed on you ok,” Raquel said with a huff. “That wasn’t all we were doing though. Mr. Cooper has been cheating with Kelsey’s mom.”

“Oh,” Brittney said feeling bad. “I’m guessing you told her.”

“Yeah, well she knew already. It’s not her first time.”

“Geez,” Brittney said feeling immediately bad for Kelsey. “I had no idea.”

“It’s fine,” Raquel said as the two of them started calming down. “I should’ve told you last night.”

“Well I’m still not happy she’s on the squad, but I’m not going to hold it against you. Hopefully it works out.”

“Thanks I guess,” Raquel said not entirely happy with the outcome of the conversation.

“Well I thought I should tell you that Ryan found out something interesting last night,” Brittney said eager to change the subject. “We wanted to tell you in person.”

“What is it?” Raquel said intrigued.

“Ryan asked mom before we left if she had hear your dad’s name in her case work before,” Brittney began. “Turns out she has, and he’s serving a life sentence in the state prison just outside of town.”

“Really!” Raquel said shocked. She had never thought about her father as being someone that was so close. To her he was basically dead, hearing that he was basically just right outside of town gave Raquel a sense of joy. It was also mixed with uncertainty. Raquel didn’t remember much about her birth parents, she only remembered that fateful night. In that night though she remembered her father moving with precision, showing no remorse as he moved to kill someone, it often left Raquel wondering just what kind of man he was exactly. “Can I go see him?” Raquel asked curiously.

“Yeah they have visiting hours during the week,” Brittney said happily. “But there’s something else you should know too,” Brittney said in a more serious tone. “Mom said that Mr. Cooper was the lead prosecutor in his trail.”

“What!” Raquel said shocked.

“That’s what I thought too,” Brittney said. “I wouldn’t jump to any conclusions though. From what I understand it was a pretty open and shut case. New lawyers often take easy cases like that when they are starting out to build reputation, at least that’s what mom said. I doubt it was anything personal against you.”

“It’s definitely something he should have brought up though,” Raquel said angrily.

“Yeah,” Brittney said in agreement. “Plus you were in the foster system for a few years before he adopted you, and since he worked on the case he had to have known whose daughter you were when he signed the papers.”

“This is too weird,” Raquel said her mind racing. This new bit of information raised a ton of questions for Raquel, and there was only one easy way to get them answered.

“I’ll tell mom you want to see him and she can arrange it for us in the next few weeks. Given what we know about Mr. Cooper though I’d keep it on the dl.”

“Right,” Raquel said with concern. “Thanks for doing this for me Brit.”

“Aww it’s nothing. Long lost father - daughter reunion, it’s not like that happens every day.”

“Oh it’s time to wrap up,” Raquel said looking at her watch. “Ok everyone gather around!” Raquel yelled. The cheer squad soon huddled around her. “First off I want to welcome Kelsey back to the squad,” Kelsey blushed shyly and waved. “I know we’ve all had our differences in the past but we can all be adults and move past them.” A few of the cheer leaders, Brittney included, sneered at this remark. “We need to work together as a team, because Kelsey and I have been working on some new routines that will hopefully let us beat Emerald Beach this year. Take it away Kelsey,” Raquel said moving out of the way. Kelsey took her spot and commanded attention with her old head cheer leader attitude.

“Right,” Kelsey said as she began to flip through a notebook of formations. “What I’m proposing is a restructure of the team, with not one, but four flyers.” There were murmurs among the crowd. “It’s not something that’s done a lot in our region, so it should take the judges by surprise, and it allows us to show off more or our squad members talents. It also means that everyone is going to have to step up to the plate and take on more responsibilities. With this kind of set up there’s no room for any mistakes.” There were more murmurs from the crowd.

“The four flyers are going to be myself, Kelsey, Brittney, and Alicia,” Raquel began. “It’s going to be tough to get these new routines down, but I think we can do it.” The squad did not seem convinced by Raquel.

“You heard her ladies,” Kelsey said getting into her inspirational mojo again. “Hike up those skirts and get to work. Winning doesn’t come easy, and this is not going to be easy. But if winning was easy then everyone would do it. We are the best, we deserve it, and we will fight for it. It’s not easy, but that hasn’t stopped us before and it won’t stop us now.” The squad clapped at the end of Kelsey’s speech. Raquel was transfixed at how proud and heroic Kelsey looked, and thought that when she wasn't being manipulative she must've been a great leader. Even Brittney, who was the most skeptical, seemed to be fired up about this new direction after Kelsey’s speech.

Not long after Kelsey’s speech the rest of the squad started filing out of the gym all of them riled up effectively by Kelsey’s speech. Raquel was hanging back, hoping to get the bathroom to herself so she could change out of her diaper before beginning her walk home. Kelsey walked up behind Raquel and gently tapped her on the shoulder.

“Drive you home?” She said flirtatiously spinning her keychain on her finger.

“Sure,” Raquel said happy to not have to walk home.

“Do you need to change before you go?” Kelsey asked concerned.

“No I’m fine now that I don’t have to walk in it,” Raquel said quietly. Kelsey and Raquel made their way out of the gym subtly holding hands behind their backs as they walked. Raquel stole a glance at Brittney, who returned a knowing, disapproving look, on her way out. Raquel tried to ignore her.

Raquel and Kelsey made the short walk to Kelsey’s car and Kelsey began to drive toward the Cooper’s house, careful not to scare Raquel with her usually reckless driving.

“That was amazing Kelsey,” Raquel said referencing Kelsey’s earlier speech.

“You think so? I didn’t come on too strong did I?”

“Are you kidding? You knew just how to give the right kick in the gut we all needed.”

“Thanks. I’m just worried, that I’ll fall into old habits is all,” Kelsey said concerned.

“I’m here Kelsey. I won’t let that happen,” Raquel said reassuringly.

“Good to know,” Kelsey said happily. “What were you and Brittney talking about?”

“What do you think?” Raquel asked signaling that she wasn’t happy with how the conversation turned out.

“I don’t trust her Raquel,” Kelsey said abruptly.

“Kelsey!” Raquel warned.

“I’m worried she might be using you,” Kelsey added defensively. “It’s still all too convenient for her. She’s too much like I was for it to be coincidence that she’s friends with the new Cooper coming in.”

“Well if she’s like you then she’s in good company.”

“Thanks, but you know what I mean.”

“I do, and you’re worrying too much.”

“Maybe,” Kelsey said suspiciously. “I’m still going to keep an eye out for you.”

“I wish you wouldn’t.”

“Not up to you,” Kelsey added sweetly. Raquel rolled her eyes but was still charmed by Kelsey’s protective nature. “What else did you talk about, you couldn’t have spent all that time gossiping about me.”

Raquel gave Kelsey the brief version about the situation with her father.

“Wow that’s heavy stuff,” Kelsey said not sure how to respond.

“Yeah it is,” Raquel said with a hint of sadness. “But maybe he’ll have some answers for me.”

“Just be careful ok,” Kelsey said showing her protective side again. “I know he’s your real dad, but he’s also a convicted murderer, and it’s been years since he’s seen you.”

“I know,” Raquel said sharing Kelsey’s uneasyness about the situation. “And I’m scared of what I might find, but I have to go.” At this point in the conversation Kelsey had arrived at Raquel’s house. “Thanks for the lift babe,” Raquel said innocuously. Kelsey blushed at the pet name.

“Hey Raquel,” Kelsey asked shyly as Raquel was about to leave the car.

“Hmm?” Raquel asked.

“Did you need any help changing?” Kelsey asked shyly.

“No,” Raquel said a bit off put. “I can do it myself.”

“I know you can,” Kelsey said struggling. “I just thought it might be something we could do … together.”

“You want to change me?” Raquel asked, now just as shy and nervous as Kelsey was. Kelsey nodded yes in response. “Would that lead to uhh…?”

“That’s not what I was thinking,” Kelsey answered honestly. “So it doesn’t have to.”

“That’s not a no,” They both gulped at this. Both of them had become sweaty nervous wrecks as the conversation turned. “Not today,” Raquel said nervously breaking the tension. “I don’t think I’m ready for that big of a step yet.”

“Oh I’m sorry,” Kelsey said sadly. “I really wasn’t thinking of that I just wanted to share a moment with you.”

“I know, and I’m ok with that. Just not today.”

“Soon?” Kelsey asked hoping she hadn’t ruined the relationship.

“Soon,” Raquel said genuinely. Letting Kelsey know that she wasn’t mad.

Kelsey and Raquel looked at each other longingly. They each felt like they wanted something more before leaving, but what unsure what the other was comfortable with. Raquel grabbed Kelsey’s hand and without warning brought it over her breast. Kelsey made an instinctive move to pull away, but Raquel held her hand in place. Realizing what was happening Kelsey grabbed Raquel’s breast. Raquel let out a yelp as she did. The yelp suddenly brought the situation into perspective for Kelsey and she just started laughing. Raquel joined in when she realized how cliché the two were acting.

“What are we gonna do Raquel?” Kelsey asked still giggling.

“Who knows,” Raquel answered.

“Ok,” Kelsey said calming down a little. “Your turn,” She was now sticking her chest out playfully for Raquel. Raquel giggled in response. “Fair’s fair you get to do it to.” Raquel gave a playful grimace as she abruptly grabbed both of Kelsey’s breasts with her hands. Kelsey responded with a loud ticklish kind of laugh causing Raquel to start laughing too. The two continue laughing for a while before they both calmed down.

“Oh shoot!” Raquel said noticing a warm sensation. She stood up in her seat and there was a small wet spot where she was sitting. “I’m so sorry I must’ve wet when we were laughing, and it leaked,” Raquel said quickly getting out of the car to prevent further damage. “I’m so sorry,” Raquel said cursing herself.

“Hey hey it’s fine,” Kelsey said getting out quickly and hugging Raquel. “It’s just a small spot it’s not that big of a deal.”

“It’s not fine,” Raquel said angrily. “Ugh sometimes I hate this. Like no one else my age has to worry about their diaper leaking. Because they don’t wear diapers. Because their bladders aren’t useless like mine is.” Kelsey kept hugging Raquel while she vented.

“Feel better?” Kelsey said after Raquel had finished.

“A little,” Raquel answered. “Sometimes I just wish I was normal. That I didn’t have to worry about this you know.”

“I think they make you cuter,” Kelsey said half joking. Raquel giggled at her comment.

“Shut up,” she said dismissing Kelsey’s comment.

“No it’s true,” Kelsey said playfully. “You can’t deny it. You pick out the cute ones on purpose.”

“Shut up,” Raquel repeated blushing a deep shade of red. “And just what are you doing looking at my underwear,” Raquel said playfully. “Not very lady like of you.”

“Look who’s talking. Want me to give those another honk for you sophisticated lady.” Raquel and Kelsey both laughed at each other again.

“Thanks Kelsey,” Raquel said giving Kelsey a good bye kiss.

“Any time. Now run along and get changed,” Kelsey playfully shooed Raquel along by tapping on her bottom. Raquel skipped toward the door lovingly sticking her tongue out at Kelsey as she went inside.

- - - Updated - - -

Since that last chapter was so short I thought I'd get another out soon. This one I wanted to show Raquel and Kelsey being a couple, being an awkward high school couple at that. I never had a relationship in high school myself, but regardless I tried to capture that endless awkwardness and sexual tension that is prevalent through high school, as well as the constantly shifting emotions that come with being a young adult. Hopefully I didn't loose my pg rating I've been going for with that moment between Raquel and Kelsey, but it seemed like the perfect high school "fooling around" moment. If anyones overly bothered by it I can cut it out. We also learn somehting that probably isn't that surprising if you've read the other version, that Raquel's father is still alive. Look forward to meeting him in the next chapter. As always I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter.

Content: Chapter 14

Raquel struggled to get through the week knowing that a trip to see her biological father was just ahead. Barbra Cheng scheduled the meeting for Thursday, Raquel thought that it was an odd day for something so important to happen.

The day finally came, and Raquel was anxiously talking with Kelsey outside of the gym.

“Nervous?” Kelsey asked concerned.

“Incredibly,” Raquel answered honestly.

“You don’t have to go if you don’t want to,” Kelsey reminded Raquel reassuringly.

“I know, but it’s something I should do.”

“I know it is. For better or for worse you’ll get through it,” Kelsey said kissing Raquel on the forehead.

“Raquel!” Brittney yelled. Annoyed at both how long Raquel was taking and the reason she was taking so long. Kelsey glared in Brittney’s direction bitterly.

“Go you don’t want to be late,” Kelsey said caringly.

“Are you sure you’re ok subbing for me today?” Raquel asked in a stern tone. Kelsey nodded yes.

“I promise I’ll be good,” Kelsey said obediently.

“Good,” Raquel said giving Kelsey a good bye kiss.

“Text me when you get back,” Kelsey said cheerfully.

“I will,” Raquel said catching up to Brittney.

“I don’t trust her,” Brittney said as she and Raquel began walking out of the school.

“The feelings mutual with her if that makes you feel better,” Raquel said frustrated. “But since you and me are both out she’s the next in line for captain.”

“You should have put her at the end of that line,” Brittney said.

“I’m sick of this from both of you!” Raquel said angrily as the two emerged from the school and made their way toward Mrs. Cheng’s car, which was waiting for them in front of the school. “Ridiculous. you guys are acting like children, and that’s coming from the one wearing diapers.”

“Something wrong?” Mrs. Cheng asked as the two had opened the doors of the car still arguing. Raquel sat in the back pouting while Brittney did something similar in the passenger seat.

“Severe difference in opinion,” Brittney said vaguely.

“Well you two need to keep it civil because it’s about an hour long ride, and I don’t want to deal with you two fighting the whole time.” Mrs. Cheng said sternly. “Raquel I brought you two diapers from the house, you’ll probably want to change when we get there.”

“Thank you,” Raquel said gratefully. She was thankful that Mrs. Cheng was nice enough to keep diapers at her house for when Raquel came over.

Mrs. Cheng drove out of town for about an hour. As she drove Raquel and Brittney gradually made up and grew more talkative making the ride a lot less awkward for Barbra. Eventually she drove off of a lonely exit of the highway and took a short drive down a poorly maintained road to the prison.

The prison was appropriately imposing. It had a stark grey brick exterior with four circular towers that stretched into the sky forming the corners of an outer wall topped with barbed wired. Snipers were stationed at the top of the towers, but even from a distance it was apparent they were at ease, having not seen an attempted escape in some time. Then only entrance into the fortress like prison was a comparatively small guard door, big enough for two lanes of traffic and not much else. Mrs. Cheng pulled up to the guard station next to the entrance lane, a rather bored guard approached the driver’s side window and spoke to her.

“Do you have an appointment for visitation ma’am,” The guard said officially.

“Yes Barbra Cheng,” She said handing the guard a piece of paper. The guard spoke a code word into the radio on his shoulder and motioned the car through.

Inside the main wall there were several smaller sections divided with high barbed wire fences. The main road lead to one of the few open parts of the grounds, a small parking lot by what Raquel assumed was the main office. Mrs. Cheng parked the car. A guard arrived to escort them inside, but Mrs. Cheng motioned for him to wait.

“Go ahead and change Raquel,” she said calmly handing Raquel on of her diapers. Raquel nervously accepted the diaper and began changing herself in the backseat of the car, Mrs. Cheng and Brittney blocking the view inside the window with their bodies. Due to her nervousness Raquel rushed through the diaper change so it was taped on rather sloppily, but good enough that it would last through this visit. With that the guard that had been waiting on them proceeded to escort the group into the main office.

Raquel thought the inside looked much more inviting than the outside. Is was a medical white color, but clean and well lit. Several police officers were hanging around talking, but Raquel and the others were ushered quickly down a side door by the guard, and eventually back outside through another guarded door and into a smaller building. It was clearly the visitation room, it looked exactly like the ones from tv shows, a room lined with windows with telephones and speakers attached. To Raquel’s surprise she was led past the long window, stopping just outside of another guarded door.

“I got you two a room for an hour,” Mrs. Cheng explained. “We’ll be waiting right outside if you need anything.” Raquel nodded nervously. After a buzzing sound the guard opened the door in front of Raquel, once Raquel was inside he shut it behind him.

As the door behind Raquel closed the one across the room from her opened. Raquel took in a deep breath as she prepared herself to see her father. He was escorted in by another guard. He was a tall muscular Hispanic looking man, with black hair like Raquel’s that came down to the back of his neck. He had a weathered look, it was clear that he’d seen a lot, but his facial expression and demeanor remained cheerful.

As he was lead in to the room he looked up at Raquel and stood not sure of what to say.

“Look at you,” he said quietly “You’re so beautiful.” Raquel’s composure didn’t last long after that. She ran toward him weeping and embraced him in a hug. Despite his muscular build Miguel hugged his daughter gently and lovingly. “My baby girl, all grown up,” He said happily. Raquel couldn’t respond as she continued weeping into his chest. The guard, seeing that nothing Miguel wouldn't harm Raquel, left the room so Raquel and her father could be alone. “Shh shh it’s ok,” Miguel said trying to calm Raquel down. Raquel shook her head no as she continued crying. “I know baby I know,” Miguel said as he lovingly rocked Raquel back and forth. Miguel’s soothing words and touches began to calm Raquel down almost magically.

“I missed you,” Raquel said still sniffling. “I – I didn’t even get to know you.” Miguel began wiping tears from Raquel’s face.

“Smile,” Miguel said sweetly. “Your smile is so beautiful.” Raquel wiped her face with her shirt sleeve as she finally stopped crying.

The two spent the next several minutes catching up with each other. Miguel wanted to know every detail of Raquel’s life, and Raquel went over as much as she could. Every detail of all of the miserable foster homes she had been to. With every form of abuse she described Miguel looked as if a bit of his soul was ripped out, but he continued to want more details and Raquel continued providing him her life story until stopping by talking about the Cooper’s Jennifer and Sarah specifically.

“I’m sorry,” Miguel said sadly. “I’m sorry I didn’t get to be there for you, and raise you like I was supposed to, but I’m happy that you finally found a home where you are loved.”

“Yeah,” Raquel said quietly. “But all of those others, they never helped me,” Raquel grew embarrassed. “I still wear …” Raquel couldn’t finish the sentence afraid to disappoint her father.

“Raquel, everything about you is perfect,” Miguel said knowingly. “You know your mother had the same problem you did. She wore diapers her whole life.”

“Really?” Raquel asked curiously. “What was mom like?” Miguel’s face grew dim.

“Raquel we need to talk about a few things,” Miguel said seriously. “You’re mother and I. We weren’t good people,” Miguel said seriously.

“Don’t say that!” Raquel protested.

“No sweetie it’s true. Her family had ties to the cartel. She took up the business like her mother and grandmother before her.”

“She must have been forced to,” Raquel said in disbelief. “She didn’t have any other choice.”

“It doesn’t matter. She did it because she wanted to. We both did.”

“Stop it!” Raquel screamed, not wanting to hear it.

“We hurt people Raquel. We killed people. I know it’s hard for you to hear that, but it’s the truth and you deserve to know.”

“So that night, at the hotel,” Raquel said scared.

“Not that night,” Miguel said solemnly. “But there were many others.”

“So you didn’t kill those people,” Raquel said optimistically.

“No it was a set up. They were dead when I got there.”

“So you’re innocent,” Raquel said happily. “My friend’s mom, she’s a lawyer. We can open the case back up, we can get you out, and we can be together again.”

“No Raquel,” Miguel said seriously. “I was innocent that night, but not all of the others. I’ve put those times behind me, but I won’t deny what I did. I deserve my punishment.” Raquel grew disheartened. “Raquel I will always love you, but we can’t be together. I’m a bad influence, I will only lead you down the path that I took.” Raquel grew quiet. “But I will always be here for you if you need me,” Miguel said sweetly. “Here,” he said undoing a necklace from around his neck. “I want you to have this.” Raquel took the round metal locket and opened it. Inside was a picture of Miguel, Raquel’s mother, and Raquel. Raquel was about as old in the picture as she was that fateful night. “This is the last picture I got to take with all of us together. I want you to have it, to remember me by.”

“Thanks dad,” Raquel said hugging her father. Miguel helped Raquel tie it around her neck. “Hey before I go does the name Cameron Cooper mean anything to you?” Miguel’s face grew dim.

“Where did you here that name?” Miguel said seriously.

“It was on you case file,” given her dad’s reaction Raquel decided not to mention that he was also her foster father. Which wasn’t far from accurate since he wasn’t around all that much.

“Listen to me. Don’t trust that man,” Miguel said angrily. “He worked with your mother. He is a snake, only out to serve his own needs. She only kept him around because he was useful. And it cost her in the end, cost us both.” Raquel gave a concerned gulp.

“Alright time’s up,” Came the voice of the guard outside. He quickly came inside and approached Miguel.

“Goodbye Raquel,” Miguel said as he was escorted out.

*****

Mrs.Cheng drove Raquel back to her house.

“You sure you’re ok honey?” Mrs. Cheng said worried. Raquel wasn’t sure if she was ok or not. It was great getting to talk to her father after all of these years, but having his criminal past confirmed to Raquel, and the worrisome remarks he made about Mr. Cooper had her concerned to say the least.

“I’ll be fine,” Raquel said faking a cheerful smile. Neither Barbra nor her daughter seemed convinced by the smile, but they both seemed to think Raquel needed time to process everything.

Raquel walked into her house, Jennifer was already home and baking something in the kitchen.

“Hey Raquel,” Jennifer said happily as Raquel walked in.

“Smells good,” Raquel said the smell of a home cooked meal was just what she needed.

“Well couldn’t have done it without the help,” Jennifer said smirking.

“Help?” Raquel asked confused.

“Hi,” answered Kelsey who was awkwardly standing next to the pantry.

“Kelsey!” Raquel said shocked.

“I thought I’d come over and cheer you up,” Kelsey said shyly. "And then I got drafted to help with dinner."

“Between you and me you could’ve got one that could cook better,” Jennifer said teasing.

“Mom,” Raquel groaned embarrassed. Jennifer laughed.

“You two go have fun. Dinner will be ready in about 20 minutes.” Kelsey grabbed Raquel’s hand and the two walked toward Raquel’s room. “And keep your door open.” Jennifer added sternly.

“She’s nice,” Kelsey said as the two entered Raquel’s room. “She seems to really care about you and …” Kelsey was cut off by Raquel hugging her.

“Thanks for coming over,” Raquel said head burying in Kelsey’s chest.

“No problem,” Kelsey answered sweetly. “I kinda figured you’d want some company. Not a lot I can do with the door open though,” Kelsey said joking. Raquel laughed a little. Out of nowhere Kelsey summoned her cheerleader strength and picked Raquel up quickly carrying her to her bed and crashing down on it with her, Raquel giggling the whole way. Once on the bed Kelsey sat Raquel on her lap.

“What are you doing?” Raquel said blushing.

“We’re going to have girl talk,” Kelsey said as she grabbed a hair brush and some bobby pins. “I’m going to brush your hair and you’re going to tell me all about your day. The good and the bad. Then we’re going to eat ice cream right out of the tub together.”

“You’re stupid,” Raquel said as she started to get up. Kelsey forced her back into her lap.

“No sit,” Kelsey said sternly as she positioned Raquel back into place. Raquel sighed as Kelsey began running the brush through her hair. Kelsey brushing her hair made Raquel feel better than she would ever admit. Kelsey lovingly and tenderly grabbed sever strands of Raquel’s hair at a time and repeatedly smoothed them out with a brush, clipping some of them together with bobby pins once she was done with them. “Someone’s being quiet,” Kelsey said muffled by some of the bobby pins she was holding in her mouth.

Raquel began to recount her meeting with her father. Reluctantly at first but as Kelsey continued to make calming strokes down Raquel’s hair she began to talk more freely. Raquel had finished talking and after a few more minutes Kelsey decided she was done with Raquel’s hair. Kelsey motioned for Raquel to get up and look in the mirror. Raquel gasped at how she looked. Kelsey had smoothed out all of the wrinkles in her hair and had worked some kind of bobby pin magic. Her hair draped perfectly across her forehead before going back behind her ear.

“I know right,” Kelsey said confidently. “I make you look good.”

“Yeah you do,” Raquel said amazed at how nice she looked. The two looked at each other through the mirror before they both abruptly turned around and began kissing each other on the lips. The moment of passion was quickly interrupted, however, by knocking on the open door.

“Hey!” Jennifer said loudly scaring the two girls apart. “Dinner’s ready,” she added in an immediately softer tone. “And try to keep it pg-13 until lights out. We’ve got kids here.” Raquel and Kelsey both blushed as they followed Jennifer down to eat.

*****

Barbra Cheng felt like she had finally started to relax. Brittney was in her room leaving her all alone if her massive living room. The calm silence was broken by a not completely unexpected phone call. A glance at the caller id and Barbra could tell who it was. She had figured Cooper would have eyes at the prison, after all he would want to know as soon as possible if Miguel ever got out. Barbra thought briefly about rejecting the call, but felt she at least owed him the conversation.

“Hello Cameron,” Barbra said answering the phone.

“Hello Barbie,” Cameron said angrily. “You know a friend of mine swore he saw you at the prison today. Now that wouldn’t be true would it?”

“I was at the prison, as a matter of fact. Reuniting a girl with her father after years apart from each other.”

“You’re out of line Barbie. Like or not she’s still my daughter and I don’t exactly approve of you taking her with you into a maximum security prison without even letting me know.”

“She has the right to see her father Cameron. It’s something you should have let her see him long before now.”

“You know very well why I didn’t ever take her. Her father is a convicted murderer and drug smuggler. She’s lucky she got out of his care when she did.”

“Yeah and I’m sure it had nothing to do with your business dealings with the Hernandez’s in Cuba am I right,” Cameron was silent for a while.

“What did you tell her?” Cameron asked seriously.

“Nothing Cameron. All she knows is that you were the prosecutor for his case that’s it.”

“You’re playing with fire here Barbie. Don’t forget you’re just as liable as I am if the truth gets out that our friend is actually innocent. You made a career off of that trial. A career off of a lie.”

“I know, you never stop reminding me.”

“Only because you always seem to forget what’s exactly at stake. The legal ramifications are only the tip of the iceberg The cartels will be after our blood if he ever gets out.”

“I know Cameron, but that’s still no excuse to keep the girl away from her father for this long. She needed to know the truth about her parents.”

“I’ll decide what she needs to know,” Cameron said with finality. “No more stunts like this Barbie. I’m not going to put up with it any more.”

“Please Cameron," Barbra said calling his bluff. "You don’t have the Hernandez’s to back you up any more. You’re powerless without them.”

“Oh I’m far from powerless. Keep pushing it and you’ll find out how much power I have left.”

“Duly noted Cameron,” Barbra said casually hitting the end call button on her phone.

And so the plot thickens. YOU may notice a bit of a change in Miguel's character between my version and the original. That's mostly because in the original his involvement with the drug ring was limited. In my version i stepped up his involvement significantly making him and Raquel's mom something of a drug lord power couple. Raquel's mother being the brains and Miguel being the brawn. Also in the original Raquel's father wanted her to pursue the court case to prove him innocent. That's somehting I changed because, with his now more involved life with the cartels, it made him seem kind of slimy to want to go free because he didn't commit murder that one time when there are other situations where he did. Even if he's seen the error of his ways he still has a lot to answer for. As always I hope you guys enjoyed it.

Thanks for the new chapter! Loving it!

Thanks I'm glad you're liking it.

Raquel and Kelsey were laying down on Raquel’s bed, full from the meal Jennifer had lovingly prepared for them earlier. Raquel was laying her head in Kelsey’s lap, Kelsey was silently playing with her hair. The two were silent for a while only speaking one word sentences every now and then. Eventually the girls could hear Jennifer putting the twins to bed before coming in to Raquel’s room.

“Ok girls I’m going to bed,” Jennifer said sleepily. “There are some blankets for you in the closet Kelsey. You two don’t stay up too late it is a school night.”

“Ok mom,” Raquel said quietly. With a yawn Jennifer went to her room to go to bed.

“Finally alone,” Kelsey said cheerfully.

“It has been a long day for me,” Raquel said yawning again. “I think we should turn in pretty soon.”

“But we were supposed to eat ice cream together,” Kelsey said pouting.

“I already told you we don’t have any ice cream.”

“Well that’s no fun. I’ll take you out for some after school tomorrow.”

“If you say so,” Raquel said sitting on Kelsey’s lap again. She went limp and let Kelsey catch her body as she fell into her. Kelsey caught Raquel’s head and was cradling it with her arm.

“Are you serious?” Kelsey asked holding Raquel up. Raquel smiled and wrapped her hands around the back of Kelsey’s neck and buried her head in Kelsey’s chest. Kelsey sighed and adjusted Raquel so that Kelsey could hold her weight easier. They stayed like that for a while. Raquel almost dozed off in Kelsey’s arms. She jolted back awake when she felt a familiar feeling. It was only a momentary bit of movement before Raquel calmed back down and started relaxing again, but it was enough that Kelsey noticed.

“Have an accident?” Kelsey asked guessing what the problem was. Raquel nodded yes too tired to be embarrassed about it.

“I need to change before I go to bed,” Raquel said climbing out of Kelsey’s lap. She stood up on the floor and gave a long stretch. Kelsey sat awkwardly on Raquel’s bed as Raquel picked out a diaper to wear from among her numerous brands. Raquel picked out thick white one, made for adults but with a landing pad that featured cartoony characters, though Raquel didn’t seem to mind that. She abruptly took her pants off leaving her used diaper in full view of Kelsey who got up quickly.

“I’ll go wait outside,” Kelsey said not wanting to intrude. In truth Raquel didn’t think about Kelsey seeing her diaper, but that was mostly because she was really tired. Even if she had thought about it though she wouldn’t have cared if Kelsey saw it or not. Raquel laid down on her bed while Kelsey quietly left and shut the door behind her.

Raquel started to change her diaper but then stopped. While she ignored Kelsey earlier she couldn’t help but think of her now, waiting just outside of her door. She thought of everything Kelsey had done for her today. Kelsey stayed with her and made her feel better about everything, and they spent all that time together not saying anything just enjoying each other’s company, and she wouldn’t have it any other way. Raquel made a decision and swallowed her pride. She opened her bedroom door, Kelsey was waiting just outside. She looked at Raquel confused when she opened the door.

“Hey Kelsey,” Raquel said innocently. “Could you help me change?” Kelsey stammered, nervous but happy.

“Are you sure,” Kelsey said. “I don’t want to if you don’t want me to.”

“I want you to,” Raquel said sweetly.

“Ok,” Kelsey said entering Raquel’s room, shutting the door behind her. “What should I do?”

“You do a lot of babysitting right?” Kelsey nodded yes. Not that she always wanted to, it was usually her mother that made her do it.

“Yeah I do a lot of babysitting, but you said that it was different from changing a baby’s diaper.”

“I lied,” Raquel admitted. “I was just embarrassed, it’s basically the same.” Raquel and Kelsey both took a deep breathe. “I’ve got a changing mat for you to use.” Raquel said getting the changing mat out from under her bed. “It’s something mom uses when I let her change me.”

“Ok,” Kelsey said anxiously. “Well go ahead and lay down.” Raquel obeyed and laid down. Kelsey placed the straps around Raquel, one going over her chest to keep her still and two that held her hands above her head out of the way. Kelsey removed the top set of tapes on Raquel’s diaper but stopped. “Are you sure you want me to see it?” Kelsey asked concerned.

“It’s not that big of a deal Kelsey,” Raquel said plainly. “Part of being incontinent is that eventually everyone that knows sees it. They either have to check your diaper or change your diaper. Mom’s seen it, Sarah’s seen it, and Cameron’s seen it, even the twins have seen it, they’ve walked in on more than one change. Every foster parent and foster sibling I’ve had has seen it so it doesn’t matter.”

“That wasn’t a yes,” Kelsey said seriously. “I don’t care that no one else respects you because I do. I’m not doing this unless you are one hundred percent ok with it.” Raquel started to tear up a little.

“If I could sit up I’d kiss you,” she said sniffling. “Thank you Kelsey."

“So that’s a yes?” Kelsey said knowingly.

“Yes you dummy,” Raquel said masking her emotion behind jokes. Kelsey tapped into all her baby sitting experience and continued to change Raquel. She untapped Raquel’s wet diaper and opened it up. She gasped a little once it was opened and she couldn’t look Raquel in the eyes, but she continued anyway. She found nearby baby wipes and powder. Kelsey grabbed Raquel’s ankles and raised them above Raquel’s head raising her bottom in the process. Raquel was a bit shocked at this method. Usually Jennifer asked her to raise up or she would just do it on her own. Kelsey essentially forced her to by raising Raquel’s ankles like that. It’s a thing Raquel had seen people do before, but being on the other side of it she marveled at its effectiveness.

Kelsey kept Raquel’s legs raised as she gently cleaned her with baby wipes and continued by covering her bottom with baby powder rubbing it in after she had her sufficiently covered. She then lowered Raquel’s legs back down and applied more powder to her front. She stopped just before taping the diaper to glance at Raquel’s face, which was clearly flustered.

“Something wrong?” Kelsey asked keeping Raquel’s new diaper folded over.

“No one’s ever done that leg thing on me,” Raquel said her voice quivering slightly. “And they usually don’t use that much powder.”

“Sorry I guess I got into the baby sitter zone,” Kelsey said as she started taping up Raquel’s diaper, making sure to get the tapes even and keep the diaper on snug.

“I liked it,” Raquel said quietly. Kelsey grew incredibly red in the face as she loosened the straps keeping Raquel still.

“Ok stand up,” Kelsey said grabbing Raquel’s hands and helping her up. Once Raquel stood up Kelsey motioned for her to keep her arms out to her side, and Raquel obeyed. Kelsey knelt down and ran a finger though the leg gatherers of Raquel’s diaper making sure they fanned out to catch everything. “There all done,” Kelsey said playfully patting Raquel’s diaper. Raquel turned around abruptly. “I hope I did it right. I’m sorry if I forced it. I didn’t mean to.” Raquel stopped Kelsey from talking by kissing her.

“You were prefect,” Raquel whispered. “Thank you.” Raquel actually did appreciate how well Kelsey put the diaper on. She could never get it on just right herself, having Jennifer or someone else put it on for her always resulted in a better fit, but Kelsey got it on perfectly, not to lose or tight. “You really did get it on perfectly,” Raquel said moving around. “Can you do that all of the time?”

“Whenever you want me to,” Kelsey said admiring Raquel in just her t-shirt and diaper.

“What?” Raquel asked noticing Kelsey staring.

“You look cute you know that?” Raquel giggled and blushed.

“We should get to bed,” Raquel said happily. Raquel climbed into her bed and Kelsey made a small pallet with an extra blanket.

“Good night Raquel,” Kelsey said getting comfortable.

“Night,” Raquel responded. “I love you,” Raquel said calmly but she looked at Kelsey sweetly while she said it. Kelsey was taken aback a little but managed to stammer out a response.

“I love you too.” The two stayed awake a little longer processing the weight of what they just said to each other but eventually fell asleep.

Raquel woke groggily the next morning to her alarm clock going off. To her surprise Kelsey was already up and taking a shower judging by the sounds coming from the bathroom. Raquel hit snooze on the alarm to get another quick bit of sleep. Kelsey, however beat the snooze to the punch emerging from Raquel’s bathroom happily.

“Morning sleepy head,” Kelsey said towel wrapped around her chest.

“You would be a morning person,” Raquel complained groggily.

“I thought seeing me around might help you get ready faster,” Kelsey said twirling around in her towel flirtatiously. It did have the intended effect and Raquel got up quickly.

“What’s gotten into you?” Raquel asked knowing that Kelsey wasn’t usually this open.

“Just trying to be fair,” Kelsey answered honestly. “I got to see a whole lot changing your diaper. I didn’t want you to feel like it was a one way thing.”

“Really,” Raquel said admiring Kelsey in a way similar to how Kelsey admired Raquel the previous night.

“Yes really,” Kelsey said gently pushing Raquel on to her bed. Kelsey started undoing the tapes to Raquel’s diaper. “Now hurry and get your shower and then we can pick out each other’s outfits,” Kelsey said giggling "Won't that be fun?" The incentive was enough to get Raquel moving faster, she wanted plenty of time to help pick out Kelsey’s outfit for the day.

This was a pretty quick chapter so I was able to get it out pretty fast. i wanted to put it at the end of the last chapter, but it was getting long and it felt like it was loosing focus. Anyway, this is entirely new content, nothing I can remember is a direct parallel in the original. And again this is because Raquel and Kelsey have a more romantic relationship, so they needed a moment where they both (mostly Raquel though) finally let their guard down around each other. I symbolized this by Raquel allowing Kelsey to change her diaper. It's a cute metaphor at least i think so. I debated about putting the diaper change moment here or somewhere a little later, but it seemed a lot more genuine here so that's where it stays. Also in case you didn't pick up on it there's implications behind Kelsey's line "we can pick out each other's outfits" hopefully you can figure it out on you own

Content: Chapter 16

Despite everything weighing on Raquel’s mind, her meeting her father, learning that Mr. Cooper had something to do with his incarceration, and her blooming relationship with Kesley, life at Madison High School still marched on, and that meant that the regional cheer competition loomed ever closer. Thankfully the squad had been practicing their new routine involving four flyers extensively. So despite how Raquel and Kelsey devised the routine only a few weeks ago, the squad was picking it up fast with all of the extensive practice, though Raquel and the other flyers had grown tired of being thrown in the air all day.

Raquel was thankful that most of the squad knew she wore diapers. She had never been as extensively manhandled as she was during these few weeks as her squad mates found numerous leverage points to toss her into the air and many more when they caught her coming down. They never said anything about it, but Raquel could tell from embarrassed faces when they had grabbed her diaper.

Raquel was somewhat relieved to be under this additional stress though. It was taking up so much of her time that she was hardly able to focus on anything else, it consumed all of her time and it was something she liked doing and spending her time on.

Tensions were becoming high as the squad had been practicing rigorously for a little over a month, and it was the last practice before they left for regionals that weekend. Despite the team’s overall good performance, the constant practice was starting to take a toll on the squad. They were either tired or irritable going in to this last practice. Raquel noticed this as she was about to start practice and felt similar herself.

“Let’s take today off guys,” Raquel said sensing the mood. “Rest up.” There was a collective sigh of relief as the squad quickly started filing out of the gym. Brittney approached Raquel who was sitting back going over last minute details.

“Do you think we’re ready?” Brittney asked. “I mean I hope so we’ve been working our asses off.”

“I don’t know,” Raquel said honestly. “I’ve never seen Emerald Beach or any of the other schools perform, but I think we’re looking pretty good.”

“Yeah we are,” Kelsey said sneaking up on Raquel and Brittney. “We’ve got this, don’t worry so much about it,” Kelsey said hugging Raquel and playfully rocking her back and forth. Raquel was thankful that the constant practice had resulted in a temporary truce between Brittney and Kelsey, had the truce not been there Raquel was sure the two of them would be attempting to chew each others heads off.

“You were right to take the day off though,” Brittney commented. “I think everyone is tired.”

“Yeah,” Kelsey said in agreement. “It’s not good to end on that kind of a note.”

“Wow look at you tow agreeing about something,” Raquel said tiredly.

“Don’t count on it lasting,” Brittney said under her breathe though Raquel and Kelsey both heard her clear enough. After a brief silence filled with awkward glares between Kelsey and Brittney, Raquel finished up what she was working on.

“Hey babe change me?” Raquel asked as she was putting her things in her backpack.

“Sure,” Kelsey responded looking around to make sure they were alone.

“I’ll go ahead and leave,” Brittney said not particularly wanting to stick around for that. “See you guys tomorrow.” With that Raquel and Kelsey made their way to the locker room. Raquel began digging through her backpack for her extra diaper she usually brought, but to her surprise Kelsey beat her to it taking one out of her purse.

“I keep one around just in case,” Kelsey said grinning. Raquel was genuinely touched at Kelsey’s consideration.

Kelsey changing Raquel had become something of a regular thing. For one it was practical, Raquel couldn’t tape them on herself very well, or at least not half as well as Kelsey could. Additionally it had become a way for the two of them to spend quality time together, similar to how Jennifer changing Raquel had become quality time for Raquel and her foster mother.

Raquel laid down on one of the benches without saying a word and Kelsey similarly started the changing process.

“Where did you get that?” Raquel asked referring to the pink colored diaper Kelsey had just placed under Raquel.

“I remembered one of the brands you liked and bought some to put in my car,” Kelsey said as she lifted Raquel’s ankles up to clean her with baby wipes that she also kept in her purse.

“So you’re just keeping all this stuff with you now?” Raquel asked cheekily.

“I don’t see you complaining,” Kelsey replied in a similar tone. “Alright up you go,” Kelsey said tapping Raquel’s diaper with her hand.

“I think you like doing this more than you’re letting on,” Raquel teased. Kelsey blushed confirming Raquel’s suspicion.

“It’s just nice spending time with you,” Kelsey said still embarrassed. “We’ve both been so caught up with practice it’s about the only time we have that’s just us.”

“I know how you feel,” Raquel said adjusting her skirt. “Even if other stuff is going on at least we’re together.”

“Yeah I guess you’re right,” Kelsey said throwing Raquel’s used diaper in the trash. The two of them sleepily made their way to Kelsey’s car not saying much else until they got inside of Kelsey’s car. “You know I don’t think I ever took you for ice cream.”

“What?” Raquel asked not knowing what Kelsey was referring to.

“You know that night you first let me change you and then we hung out and you’re closet.” They both blushed heavily at the mention of that.

“Yeah that was fun,” Raquel said with a sigh.

“Well I promised I would take you for ice cream and I never did.”

“So,”

“So let’s go now.”

“I should really get home,” Raquel reasoned.

“Come on you’ve been working hard for a whole month, we both have. We deserve a pick me up before regionals.”

“As long as it’s not too long,” Raquel said giving in. Kelsey giggled as she altered her route to the nearest ice cream parlor.

*****

It was early on a Saturday as Kelsey drove herself and Raquel to the school to meet the other cheer leaders for their drive to Emerald Beach Academy. Raquel was as awake as a high schooler on a Saturday morning, but Kelsey was awake enough for the both of them.

Despite Kelsey’s morning loving nature she was one of the last to arrive at the bus, having spent more time than she thought attempting to rouse Raquel from a deep slumber, and more time packing the last of Raquel’s things as she was too tired to do so competently herself. Kelsey parked her car next to the bus and popped the trunk. She quickly loaded her and Raquel’s bags in to the luggage compartment. In the time it took her to pack all of the bags Raquel had only managed to sheepishly put in one.

“Go lay down on the bus sweetie,” Kelsey whispered in Raquel’s ear. Just judging from the outside of the bus it seems Raquel wasn’t the only sleepy person there and Coach Miles seemed to have done most of the packing herself.

Kelsey parked her car and made her way on to the bus sitting next to Raquel who had already fallen back asleep.

As the trip continued Raquel grew more awake and Kelsey more asleep. Raquel began nervously looking at diagrams of the squads routines as the bus kept making its way toward emerald beach. After what seemed like an eternity, but was more accurately about two hours, the bus arrived at Emerald Beach Academy. The excitement of arrival was enough to stir the sleepy teenagers on the bus awake.

“Ok girls,” Coach Miles said standing up to address everyone. “We’re going to do a quick tour of the gym where we will be performing before we head off to the hotel. We’ve got 10 minutes to do some practice exercises on the court to get a feel for it. We’re not going to let the cat out of the bag during practice though, so keep the routines simple. Alright girls get to it.” With that Coach Miles began ushering the team off of the bus.

Raquel and several of the other new squad members were immediately taken aback by the size of Emerald Beach Academy. Unlike Madison, a public high school, Emerald Beach was a private boarding school, and it showed. The campus was massive and a technological marvel, and it was easy to tell that the students there knew it. They all walked with an air of sophistication and looked down on the cheer teams coming in. It was an intimidating environment, but thankfully Coach Miles kept everyone moving not really giving them time to be intimidated. The group showed up to the gymnasium, which was oddly small compared to everything else on campus. Though small at Emerald beach meant it was about the size of a normal high school gym.

Coach Miles had time it perfectly so that the squad right on time for their practice slot. They were lead to the nearby locker rooms to change. The normally large locker room had been portioned off into small sections so that more than one team could use it at once. This meant that given the small amount of stalls they had to work with the girls would have to partner up. Two or three of them changing in the same booth at the same time. Fortunately for Raquel and Kelsey, being in a relationship eased some of this awkwardness. Raquel and Kelsey found each other among their other squad mates and sneakily found a stall they could occupy together. Without much thought the two started changing quickly, and unlike most of the other girls, did it facing each other not bothered at all by the other seeing them naked.

“How you holding up?” Kelsey asked as she quickly threw her shirt off.

“I’m fine,” Raquel said calmly.

“It’s ok if you’re not,” Kelsey said plainly. “The place is a little intimidating.”

“Yeah it is,” Raquel said as she had just taken off the skirt she was wearing.

“How about this,” Kelsey said tapping Raquel’s diaper with a foot in an attempt to remain discreet so that the other teams wouldn’t find out about Raquel’s diapers.

“I only had one,” Raquel said vague enough that no one could interpret her real meaning. “It can wait until we get to the hotel."

“You’re probably right,” Kelsey agreed. She began dressing into her cheer uniform Raquel followed suit. “We shouldn’t be too long here anyway, just a quick routine and then we’re out of here. Probably won’t even change back.” Kelsey and Raquel packed their street clothes away in their bags and exited. Not being encumbered by awkwardness, they were the first in their squad to finish changing, but the others were not too far behind. They all gathered next to Raquel and Kelsey waiting for instruction.

“Ok guys,” Raquel began. “Let’s do this real quick. Number 27 from our old set and then we’re out of here.” The squad nodded in agreement and they left to perform their quick routine.

After the quick practice they were quickly ushered out so that the next team could have their practice. Raquel happily noted that just from watching the practice routines, she could tell that Madison High was one of the best teams at the competition, and this did a lot to ease her mind.

As they were leaving Raquel and Kelsey, who were bringing up the rear, were approached by a girl that looked to be about Kelsey’s age wearing an Emerald Beach Academy cheer uniform. Raquel couldn’t help but note that their uniform left their mid rift exposed and had a very short mini skirt, a stark contrast to Madison High’s fairly tame outfit.

“Wow what a shock,” One of the girls, spoke up. “I’m surprised you guys even showed up without Sarah Cooper around to carry you in her backpack.”

“Am I supposed to know you?” Raquel asked weirded out that a complete stranger was insulting her.

“That would be Allyson,” Kelsey informed Raquel angrily. “She is Emerald beach Academy’s head slut. Oh sorry I mean cheer leader. Hard to tell the difference with those outfits.”

“The nunnery called they want their 12th century modesty back,” Allyson replied. “Besides I think you should leave the trash talk up to the actual head cheer leaders. Being one for two days doesn’t count, and dating one doesn’t count either.” Kelsey sighed angrily.

“Only you would be vapid enough to pay attention to gossip from other schools,” Kelsey said trying to hide how much Allyson’s insults were getting to her.

“She’s just trying to get in your head,” Raquel whispered at Kelsey.

“What was that?” Allyson said yelling at Raquel. “Speak up I can’t hear you. Or is baby shy,” Allyson said making mocking baby noises at Raquel. Raquel knew this insult was coming. If Alyson somehow knew the details of her becoming captain then she probably knew about Raquel’s diapers as well. The ever familiar baby insult proved this.

“Wow you know I’ve never heard that one before,” Raquel said not following her own advice. “You should write it down its super original.”

“You know maybe it’s a good thing they have you guys dressed as mother Teresa,” Allyson continued. “It’s probably the only way they could keep the big baby’s diaper from flashing everyone.” Raquel and Kelsey both sighed. The constant egging on from Allyson was starting to make them angry and Allyson could tell. Before she could launch another round of verbal assaults at the two of them Brittney stepped in.

“Back off Allyson,” Brittney said fiercely shoving Allyson back from Raquel and Kelsey. Brittney’s mere presence seemed to anger Allyson.

“So you actually showed up,” Allyson said uncharacteristically quiet, she quickly regained her composure however. “Well I’ve beaten you at everything else, so it seems only fitting that I beat you at this too.”

“You can’t beat me at everything captain A cup,” Brittney said pointedly. She clearly knew how to hit Allyson where it hurt as she grew angrier at comment about her breast size.

“Why don’t you take your happy pills and shut up,” Allyson said also attempting to aim below the belt.

“I’m not doing this with you Ally,” Brittney said seriously. “Back off.”

“Fine,” Allyson said spitefully. “Glad to have you back on campus sis. Hopefully you won’t get back in to bad habits.” Brittney chose let that one go as Allyson and her cronies began walking the opposite direction down the hall.

“What the hell was that?” Raquel asked confused.

“That,” Brittney said with a sigh. “Was Allyson Cheng. Captain of Emerald Beach Academy Cheer Squad, and my sister.”

- - - Updated - - -

well here you go another chapter. I'm sorry if this one was a little uneventful, I had to shift gears into this "tournament arc" so I needed a bit to set it up which is what this chapter does. We're going to spend the next few chapters here before moving back to the other stuff. There isn't a lot of difference between this and the original. A minor but important difference is that Raquel and Kelsey changed together, and weren't being awkward about it. A sign of how far their relationship has come. I don't remember if she changed with Kelsey in the last one, but she definitely did it back to back and was awkward about it as you would expect. But here it's a moment to show how comfortable they have become with each other. Next time we'll dive a little deeper, and learn a little bit more about Brittney along the way. Hope you guys enjoyed it.

thanks. I'm not going to lie I was kind of hoping for that too. I think a lot of it was bad timing something else always seemed to update right after I do so I'd loose the top billing, not that I'm blaming anyone, that kind of thing just happens sometimes and I doubt it was intentional. It might also be that this is like the 4th time this story has been told, so I can understand if people have gotten tired of it by now. I don't think I'm done writing though and I've got a bunch of ideas, so maybe next year.

Content: Chapter 17

Raquel, Kelsey, and Brittney all threw their luggage down in the hotel room, Kelsey quickly closed the door behind them to ask Brittney the question that had been burning on her mind since they left Emerald Beach Academy's campus.

“What the hell?” Kelsey asked angrily. “Allyson is your sister?” Brittney meekly nodded yes. “You didn’t think that was important information we should’ve known?”

“Not really?” Brittney answered defensively. “It doesn’t really change anything. We’re still going to compete against them regardless of if she’s my sister or not.”

“But you should have told us,” Raquel said not quite as angry as Kelsey but still mad. “You’re right it doesn’t matter at the end of the day but it’s still something we would’ve liked to have known.”

“It’s not something I’m proud of,” Brittney said rubbing the top of her arm nervously. “I just don’t want to talk about it.”

“Well it’s too late for that Brit. You need to explain what this is about.”

“I’m interested to know how she knew so much about our squad,” Kelsey said accusingly.

“I don’t know how she knows that stuff,” Brittney yelled defensively. “I didn’t tell her anything. It’s not like we get along. She probably just asked around about it. She’s the type to do that.” Kelsey didn’t seem to believe this explanation.

“Ok but what’s up between you two?” Raquel asked both concerned and confused. “Why is she at Emerald Beach? Why don’t you or your mom ever mention her?”

“Because Allyson is better than me,” Brittney blurted out angrily. “She’s better at me at everything I do, and she just loves to remind me about it. The only reason mom doesn’t talk about her is because she knows how upset it makes me.”

“That doesn’t answer why she’s here and you’re at Madison,” Kelsey responded. “Even parents as rich as yours aren’t going to send kids to different schools just because they don’t like each other."

“I got kicked out ok!” Brittney said angrily. “I couldn’t handle being away from my parents. I got out of control so mom took me out and brought me closer to home.”

“Oh,” Raquel said quietly. “I didn’t know.”

“It’s not something I wanted you to know!” Brittney said angrily. “I was humiliated, and mom never looks at me the same anymore. Mom and Dad both think I’m just the problem child while Allyson is their success story. She's always been better than me at everything, and my parents know it.” There was an awkward silence where Raquel and Kelsey weren’t sure what to say. “Sorry I didn’t bring it up before. It’s not something I like talking about.” Kelsey had a feeling that this wasn’t the whole story.

“I guess you’re right though,” Kelsey said with a sigh. “At the end of the day it doesn’t matter who Allyson Cheng is we need to beat her. Do you have a problem with that?”

“Please are you kidding me?” Brittney said laughing. “Nothing would make me happier than to wipe that smug look off of Allyson’s face by beating her at something. I’ve been waiting for this opportunity all year.”

“I like your spirit,” Kelsey said her own competitive nature coming out with Brittney’s. “It’s no contest. We’ll crush Emerald Beach just like we always do.” Raquel was happy the two were finally getting along, though she wished they would be a little less intense about it. A knock at the door caught Raquel’s interest and she quickly answered it. It was Coach Miles who was busy marking things off of a clip board.

“Hey Raquel,” she said officially. “Just wanted to let you girls know a few rules. Curfew is at 11, if I catch you out of your room after 11 you’re out no questions asked. I’ve got the room right by the elevator and I will be watching.”

“I read you coach,” Raquel said firmly.

“Good, not that I expect any trouble out of anyone. I’ve got to say you did a good job with these room assignments, but are you sure you want those two together.” Coach Miles said gesturing to Kelsey and Brittney who were sitting on the bed trying to figure out how the tv worked.

“I got it under control Coach.”

“Alright, well you girls stay out of trouble tonight. You’re free to converse with the other teams but after 11 you better be back in your rooms,” Coach miles ended with a tap on her clipboard and walked down the wall to the next room presumably to give the same spiel over again.

Coach Miles was right, putting Kelsey and Brittney together was a bad idea on paper. The two hated each other at best, but the competitive drive seemed to bind them in comradery. It made them tolerate and even like each other for the moment. Plus the real reason was that the two of them were the only two that have seen Raquel in just her diaper, and she didn’t want to risk being put with another squad mate who might make a big fuss about it.

“Was that Coach giving her threatening speech?” Kelsey asked knowingly.

“Yup,” Raquel answered.

“She does that every year, but I don’t’ think it’s ever worked. People always go to the West High party every year.”

“I’ve heard about that,” Brittney commented.

“Yeah,” Kelsey continued. “West High is one of the few schools around here with male cheer leaders. Not that it does them any good. It seems like the only reason they show up is so the boys can throw their lame party.”

“I don’t know,” Raquel said intrigued. “Sounds kind of fun.”

“It really isn’t,” Kelsey said pessimistically. “You’re welcome to go though, all of the first timers usually do.”

“You don’t want to come with me?” Raquel asked disappointed.

“I’ll go if you want me to,” Kelsey said with a sigh. “But I’d rather not. Been there done that you know.”

“Brit?” Raquel asked.

“I don’t know,” Brittney said conflicted. “I don’t think that’s really a good idea.”

“You two should go,” Kelsey spoke up. “It is sort of a rite of passage, even if it’s a really lame one.”

“I mean what kind of party is it?” Brittney asked concerned. “I don’t want to get in trouble with mom. She would flip out if she found out I was anywhere near anything crazy.”

“Please Brittney these boys are like the least hardcore people I’ve ever met. The hardest thing you’ll find at that party is a beer. One beer. And they’ll pass it around for everyone to share.” This description seemed to make Brittney more hopeful.

“Ok, I guess that does sound kind of fun. Even if we just hang out with the other newbies from our squad.”

“So you’re in?” Raquel asked hopefully.

“Sure,” Brittney said non chilantly. “What’s the worst that can happen? We have to be back here by 11 anyway.”

“You sure you don’t want to come Kelsey?” Raquel asked. “You could watch me dance,” she added flirtatiously.

“It’s really not my place,” Kelsey said politely declining. “It’s kind of just for the new kids, but save some dancing for me to see later ok.”

“Oh barf get a room you two,” Brittney said playfully.

“We did,” Kelsey fired back jokingly.

Sorry for another shorter chapter. The original draft revealed a little more about Brittney, but I had to cut it. Without spoiling anything revealing Brittney's backstory lead to a questionable moment in this chapter, so I cut down on Brittney to be revealed later. Plus it's not as satisfying if I lay it all out there at once, you guys need some time to try and piece it together. Also it would have made this chapter even more of an info dump than it already is. Fear not though I won't leave you guessing to long. As far as differences go in the original the party was jsut something that happened spontaneously. I thought it would be a neat angle to make it a sort of rite of passage kind of thing. There were rumors of something similar happening at my high school, but it was with the band students and a band camp party that was supposedly purposefully awkward and lame. Other than that difference though it's basically the same scene from the original. Anyways hope you guys enjoy it.

Raquel and Brittney made their way down a few floors, and followed the music to the group of hotel rooms where the party was. They could hear faint thumping music from outside and they both waited in front of one of the doors.

“Looks like we’re a little late,” Raquel said nervously.

“That means we’re on time,” Brittney said quickly putting some black finger nail polish on.

“Interesting color,” Raquel said noting the very dark shade of black Brittney had chosen.

“What?” Brittney asked confused. “Oh yeah. Don’t worry about it Raquel I’m just being weird.”

“All right,” Raquel replied wierded out.

“Shall we?” Brittney said gesturing to the door. Raquel nodded and Brittney loudly knocked on the door. Almost immediately a high school age boy opened the door.

“Ladies,” he said smoothly inviting the two inside. There were three hotel rooms connected together the doors connecting them left open. The lights were turned off and there was a cheap strobe light on the small tables in each room. A jukebox in the middle room was playing club music and several bags of chips and other snacks were spread out among the rooms. As Kelsey said, the party was made up of almost entirely of the new cheerleaders and they were each segregated into small circles where girls from all of the different teams were talking with each other while sharing whatever was in the soda cans they had. Despite the boys best efforts though the party was as lame as Kelsey described it, and that was the number one topic of conversation among the groups of girls whenever the boys weren’t around to hear them. Raquel noticed Alicia who was talking with a few of the boys, putting on enough of a show for all of the other girls there by herself.

“Ignore her,” Brittney said noticing Raquel’s stare.

“Yeah you’re right,” Raquel said knowingly.

“Hey you’re Raquel right?” came a voice from one of the small groups.

“Yeah,” Raquel said as she and Britney made their way into the group to start conversing.

The girl that called her over was from Emerald beach, but despite their aggressive captain most of the cheerleaders from Emerald Beach and the other schools admired Raquel for reaching the position of captain so young. Raquel and Brittney continued to mingle among the groups for a while until the group of boys emerged from one of the bathrooms carrying a large punch bowl.

“Hey ladies,” One of the boys said enthusiastically. “Dustin here made this punch special for you, so have at it.” All of the girls gave a halfhearted clap as the boys eagerly began serving everyone cups of the punch. Raquel and Brittney both took a glass a punch without much though as they were engrossed in conversation. Brittney made a face as she drank the punch.

“Something wrong?” Raquel asked noting her friend’s odd expression.

“Does this taste weird to anyone?” Brittney asked.

“Tastes fine to me,” one of the girls.

“It’s got alcohol in it if that’s what you’re wondering.” One of the other girls said.

“Well yeah I expected that,” Brittney said taking another sip. “Maybe I’m just going crazy.” She said pushing the thought out of her mind.

As the party continued Raquel started to feel like the party, and time itself was going slower. She leaned back against one of the walls and looked out into the hotel room. Most of the girls, and two of the guys, seemed similarly tired, and were slumped against walls, beds, and the rest of the random bits of furniture in the rooms. The girls that were still moving around were acting flirtatious, almost to an aggressive degree toward the guys. Raquel took special note of Alicia who was dancing wildly in between a group of three guys, cup of punch in hand. A blurry vision appeared in front of Raquel, she tried to angrily swat it away so she could keep looking at Alicia but she was shocked when she was suddenly and violently hit back. The impact of a hand on her face caused Raquel’s vision to come back in to focus and she saw a worried Brittney in front of her.

“Raquel look at me,” Brittney said waving a hand in front of Raquel’s face. “Focus in on me ok.” Raquel nodded as she focused her attention on Brittney, immediately she felt something was wrong with her.

“Brit what’s going on?” Raquel asked panicked.

“The punch was laced,” Brittney said holding up her hand revealing that her once black nail polish was now red. “My nail polish reacts with LSD we were drugged Raquel.”

“Jesus Christ,” Raquel said panicking.

“Hey listen!” Brittney said calmly. “You need to calm down. We have to leave now. In a few minutes you are going to be out like a light and you don’t want to be here when that happens”

“What about you?” Raquel said sleepily as Brittney grabbed her hand. Raquel knew that Brittney drank just as much of the punch as she did if not more, but somehow it wasn’t affecting her. At least not to the extent it was affecting Raquel.

“Don’t worry about me we just have to go.” Brittney said as she made her way to the door.

“Where are you going sweetie,” One of the buys said approaching Brittney and Raquel. Brittney greeted him with a swift kick to the groin sending him reeling to the ground in pain.

“Holy crap,” Raquel said amazed, but Brittney didn’t leave Raquel any time to gawk as she quickly lead her out of the hotel room and back toward their own room.

Kelsey was sitting on the bed reading when Brittney loudly burst into the room carrying Raquel on her shoulders.

“Woah!” Kelsey said alarmed. She quickly got up and helped Brittney set Raquel down on the bed. Raquel squirmed but otherwise seemed unresponsive. “What happened?” Kelsey said worried.

“Someone spiked the drinks at the party,” Brittney said visibly starting to fade out.

“Oh god,” Kelsey said hysterically. “I-I-I’m sorry. They’ve never done anything like this before.”

“Don’t worry about it,” Brittney said using the bed frame to support her weight. “It was probably just one guy that did it, and you couldn’t have known this would happen.”

“What do we do?”

“Just keep an eye on her. She’s probably going to wake up and start freaking out, just make sure she doesn’t hurt herself.”

“What about you?”

“I’m already there sister believe me,” Brittney said breathing heavily. “I can take it though, this isn’t my first rodeo.”

“What?” Kelsey asked confused.

“That’s why I got kicked out of Emerald Beach. I was addicted to LSD, Among other things”

“Wait what!” Kelsey said alarmed. “You can’t just drop that all of a sudden.”

“I’m telling you that so you’ll listen to me when I tell you I know how to deal with the bad trip Raquel is about to have. It’s going to come in and out, and even when she isn’t panicking she’s not going to be all there. Just keep telling her that it’s not real. Keep reminding her that it’s you talking to her, and try to keep her hydrated.”

“Ok,” Kelsey said not really sure if she’s the best to handle this situation. Just then Raquel began to stir awake, and Kelsey immediately began to look over her. “What about you?”

“I’m just gonna pass out in a little bit,” Brittney said already losing her balance and falling to the floor. “Look,” Brittney said digging into her back. “Raquel is absolutely going to hate this, but it’ll keep her from chewing her mouth to pieces.” Brittney handed Kelsey a purple pacifier before digging another out of her backpack and putting it in her mouth.

“Britney?” Raquel mumbled stirring awake. “Where am I? What’s going on?” Kelsey looked to Brittney for help but she was already unconscious on the floor.

“Shh shh baby it’s me,” Kelsey said calmly. Kelsey grabbed Raquel’s hand, and Raquel immediately jumped into Kelsey’s arms. Kelsey calmly stroked Raquel’s back and rocked her as her breathing got faster. “Calm down honey it’s not real ok.”

“Ok,” Raquel mumbled through tears. Raquel tightly clung to Kelsey as it was the only thing she could be certain was real. Raquel was clinging so tightly that it was actually causing Kelsey a great deal of pain, but she bared it all while soothing Raquel with calm and gentle movements. After a few moments Raquel’s grip loosened and she seemed to calm down. She became aloof in fact and acted more like the traditional high Kelsey was used to seeing on movies. Constantly babbling and giggling, Raquel hugged and lovingly patted Kelsey all over her body. Kelsey struggled to maintain control over the extremely affectionate Raquel who was attempting to take off Kelsey’s clothes. Kelsey brushed off another of Raquel’s gropey hands as she found a bottle of water.

“Drink this,” Kelsey more forcing the water into Raquel’s mouth than anything else. She struggled to prevent Raquel from choking as her drinking would be frequently interrupted by giggling fits. Eventually though Raquel managed to “drink” the bottle of water and Kelsey, following Brittney’s advice, found an opportunity to put the pacifier in Raquel’s mouth. Raquel blathered some comment about it being for babies, but in her intoxicated stated she couldn’t help but be transfixed with the pacifier, in a few short seconds she stopped talking entirely to focus on a combination of chewing and suckling on the pacifier as it seemed to enhance the high she was getting. Kelsey was thankful for this as the pacified Raquel was easier to keep under control and she was less handsy then she was before, though she did steal small pinches and grabs on Kelsey every now and again.

Kelsey breathed a sigh of relief as Raquel started to come down, or at least be not as high as she was. Her erratic movements and breathing slowed to normal and she stared at the ceiling blankly, suckling on the pacifier. Kelsey took the opportunity to put another bottle of water into Raquel’s mouth, and Raquel obediently drank all of it this time without any problems. Raquel began to doze off into sleep as she drank the bottle of water, and Kelsey put the pacifier back in Raquel’s mouth once she had finished drinking the whole thing. She gently laid Raquel’s head down on the bed and she soon fell asleep. True to Brittney’s word Raquel was chewing and biting the pacifier as she slept. No doubt without it being there she would have been chewing on the inside of her cheek instead, unable to feel the pain because her mouth was so numb. A glance down at the floor revealed Brittney was doing something similar.

Now that Raquel was asleep she was surprisingly malleable. Kelsey was able to position Raquel comfortably on the bed without much effort. Kelsey quickly placed her hand on Raquel’s diaper and pushed up. As Kelsey had feared, the euphoric state did not improve Raquel’s continence, and a small groan form the sleeping Raquel as Kelsey pushed the diaper up confirmed Kelsey’s suspicion. At some point Raquel had messed her diaper, something that had only just now become apparent to Kelsey now that she wasn’t dealing with a scared or flirty Raquel. Again Kelsey glanced down at the floor and saw that Brittney was still unconscious and would not be able to help with what Kelsey was about to do. With a tired sigh Kelsey grabbed the changing supplies out of her purse and a diaper out of Raquel’s bag. She slid a towel from the bathroom underneath Raquel and she squeamishly untapped Raquel’s diaper.

Kelsey had gotten used to changing baby diapers during her time babysitting, and while that did help her some, it was still a mostly new and unpleasant experience as she cleaned and changed Raquel. The drugs had left Raquel completely limp though, meaning that she was able to complete the process relatively quickly. She was thankful that Brittney and Raquel were able to get back to the room. In this state they were both completely helpless which Kelsey assumed was the intent.

Even if it wasn’t her fault Kelsey couldn’t help but feel a little slimy as she threw Raquel’s used diaper away in the trash. Leaving Raquel naked and helpless like that, even for a moment, just felt wrong to Kelsey, as did Raquel’s numerous advances in her inebriated state. Kelsey wondered how anyone could feel right with themselves taking advantage of someone when they were like that. Raquel wasn’t herself, wasn’t the person she cared about, and no matter how attractive she found Raquel, the thought of doing anything to her in that state repulsed Kelsey to the core.

Thankfully though, nothing bad happened. Brittney was able to get herself and Raquel out of there. Kelsey hoped that everyone else at that party was as lucky. Kelsey looked down at Brittney still sleeping on the floor, the pacifier she was rhythmically chewing on making her look innocent. Kelsey summoned her cheer leader strength and picked the girl off of the ground. The sudden movement stirred Brittney awake.

“Just me,” Kelsey said grunting as she sat Brittney down on the bed. Brittney mumbled something that sounded vaguely like a thank you before quickly falling back asleep.

Kelsey looked at Raquel and Brittney, both asleep on the bed rhythmically chewing the pacifiers in their mouths and gave a tired yawn. The emotional stress as well as the physical exertion of trying to keep Raquel under control had made Kelsey more tired than she had ever been. She quickly tidied up the room a bit before laying down on the bed between Raquel and Brittney. After she adjusted the covers to cover all three of them she began to fall asleep herself. As she dozed off though Raquel moved in closer to her and wrapped her arms around Kelsey’s chest holding her tight. Kelsey could feel the plastic of the pacifier poke her back, and Raquel’s soft hair as wells Raquel’s feet resting gently toward the bottom of Kelsey’s legs. Raquel had snuggled into Kelsey and now held her tightly and lovingly like a large teddy bear. Kelsey’s stomach had butterflies, but she was so tired that she quickly fell asleep despite the enormous tender emotion she was feeling.

Sorry it's been a while since I've updated, had a busy week. This chapter is essentially and extended version of the corresponding chapter in the original. I don't think the original explicitly said that the girls were drugged but mine does. Before you go hating on the guys though I'm going to go ahead and drop a little spoiler and say that they are innocent. As far as they know they were serving your typical high school party punch with nothing more than alcohol. We'll learn who was ultimately responsible later. Another tid bit is that originally I meant to have Brittney out herself as a drug addict in the previous chapter. i moved it up to this one because it felt weird having Brittney come out as a drug addict and then agree to go to a party right after. This will also get explored more in the next chapter don't think I'm going to drop that bomb and leave it alone. As always I hope you guys enjoyed it.

Nicely handled. I think this worked better than the original, possibly due to the drug angle. Not so sure about the color-changing nails that react to LSD though: my first reaction was huh? And my second was: even if they did exist, why would she be wearing them? And my third: did she spill her punch all over her fingers?

[End of quote]

I did a little more research and that kind of nail polish is a thing but it's still in development, seems to be stuck in kickstarter hell. And Brittney carries it around out of paranoia, she's scared she'll go into relapse at any given moment something that will show up in the next chapter. And she didn't spill the punch she dipped her fingers in it after she got suspicious, but that happened "off screen" as off screen as a story can get.

You labeled this one as Chapter 17, although this one was Chapter 17: https://www.adisc.org/forum/showthread. ... ost1436003

But agree with the above poster that the nails might work better if they were litmus style, react when the fingers are dipped in.

Fixed the chapter title thanks for pointing that out.

Content: Chapter 19

The morning came and Raquel and Kelsey woke up groggily. Raquel was slowly recollecting the events of the previous night.

“Kelsey did I?” Raquel asked. Kelsey nodded grimly. “Oh god I’m so sorry you had to deal with that.”

“It’s fine,” Kelsey said giving Raquel a hug. “I’m just glad you’re ok.” Despite Kelsey’s sincerity Raquel still was embarrassed about it.

“God I’ve got such a headache,” Raquel moaned.

“Well luckily we don’t perform until the afternoon,” Kelsey said getting out of bed. It was at this point the two could faintly hear the sound of the shower running in the bathroom and knew that it was probably occupied by Brittney. After sharing a worried glance Raquel decided to knock on the bathroom door.

“Brittney?” Raquel asked unsure. “You in there?”

“Yeah,” Brittney answered in a shaky voice. “I’m fine, Just give me a minute ok.”

“You sure?” Raquel asked again.

“I said I’m fine!” Brittney yelled back. Raquel stepped away from the door alarmed.

“She didn’t mean it,” Kelsey said reassuringly. “She’s probably in a bad place right now.” Raquel and Kelsey were interrupted from their worrying by a knock at the door. Kelsey opened the door while Raquel quickly found some pants to put over her diaper.

“Morning girls,” Coach Miles said grimly at the door. “I’m guessing you guys heard what happened last night?”

“Yeah we uhh, we heard about that,” Kelsey said alluding to Raquel and Brittney's presence at the party without giving them away.

“Everyone ok?”

“A little shaken up, but otherwise fine.”

“Well I’m glad you’re all right,” Coach Miles said relieved. “One of the coaches caught on to what was happening and called the authorities. Everyone who was still there was banned from the competition and sent home.”

“Anyone from our squad?” Kelsey asked concerned.

“Yeah Alicia, Chelsea, and Carly,” Coach Miles said plainly. “Luckily most of our members left after Raquel and Brittney, some of the other teams are having to back out of the competition entirely because have of their squad got sent home.”

“Is Alicia ok?” Raquel asked overheating the name while she was getting dressed.

“She’s fine,” Coach Miles said reassuringly. “The police think that it wasn’t the typical scenario. They found just as much of it in the guy’s system as the girls. I think they were just as unaware of it as anyone else was.”

“Really?” Raquel said confused. Like everyone else Raquel had jumped to the worst conclusion possible, but if the guys actually were the ones intentionally drugging the girls then they wouldn’t have drank the punch themselves. “Then what happened?”

“Honestly,” Coach Miles said whispering. “I think someone set the boys up. Something like this isn’t like those West High Boys, they’re good kids. Some of these schools take this competition too seriously. It wouldn’t surprise me if one of the other schools did it to knock out the competition.”

“Wow!” Raquel said shocked. Kelsey did not seem as shocked as Raquel having seen this very attitude first hand in her years attending the competition.

“Well I’m just glad you guys are all ok,” Coach Miles said optimistically. “We’re going to have a meeting out front before we head back to Emerald Beach to discuss what we’re going to do. We’ve lost one of our flyers, but we still have a shot to win this thing. It’s going to need some restructuring though.”

“Right,” Raquel said already formulating a new strategy. “I’m sure Kelsey and I can come up with something by then.”

“Good,” Coach Miles said proudly. “I’ll go check on the others. I’ll be in touch.” Raquel and Kelsey turned away from the door in back into the room to find Brittney huddled in the corner in a fetal position.

“Brit?” Raquel asked concerned.

“I’ll be fine,” Brittney said quickly. “I just … I don’t want to feel that way again.”

“Well you got through it,” Raquel said trying to be positive.

“I don’t think you understand,” Brittney said meekly. “I loved it. I loved every second of it, and the only thing I want right now is more. That’s what I’m afraid of. I don’t want to fall into that hole again. I’m terrified that if I ever get a taste again I’ll start using.” Raquel abruptly grabbed Brittney’s hands.

“That’s not going to happen Brittney,” Raquel said seriously. “I’m not going to let it understand. You are better than this.” Brittney teared up a little and meekly nodded.

"Thanks Raquel," Brittney said quietly before curling back into a ball. "I'm fine really, I just need some time. Thanks for worrying about me."

Raquel and Kelsey spent the next few hours retooling the routine to center around 3 flyers instead of 4. Brittney spent most of this time quietly sitting by herself, but she seemed to be in better spirits after Raquel’s reassurances.

The girls all met in the front of the hotel before boarding the bus back to Emerald Beach for the competition. They all huddled around Coach Miles.

“Alright girls,” Coach Miles began. “First and foremost, we need to address the elephant in the room. I just want you to know that I’m not mad and you’re not in trouble. You couldn’t have known that would happen. We’ve got the school nurse and counselor ready back home. I want all of you to get checked up with them before you head home.” The girls that attended the party nodded silently. “We’ve also lost a few members to this, so Raquel and Kelsey have changed the routine.” At this point Kelsey stood up with several packets of papers.

“Basically we reorganized around 3 flyers instead of 4,” Kelsey said seriously as she handed out the packets. “It doesn’t look like much has changed at first glance, but there’s some subtle differences so be sure you study up. We’re still in this guys. Don’t get discouraged.” There were murmurs of confirmation as the girls entered the bus.

They soon arrived at Emerald Beach Academy, a noticeably smaller amount of cheerleaders present then there were the day before. Some teams were absent entirely, not having enough members to form a team after the kids at the party were sent home. It was also clear that some teams fared better than others. Some teams had to restructure entirely, while others barely had to make any changes at all. The air was also definitely more hostile then it was the previous day since no one was sure who was responsible for the previous night’s events. As such the teams wordlessly and quickly changed into their uniforms and waited quietly outside of the gym for their turn to perform their routine. The small amount of camaraderie between the teams that was present the day before had was entirely gone. Most of the teams, like Raquel’s team, were busy studying away at pieces of paper, last minute changes to routines no doubt.

Raquel was checking up on Brittney, who had continued to remain distant throughout most of the day, when they were confronted by Allyson. Despite having just finished performing and being out of breathe Allyson still had the energy to taunt.

“Well no surprise you’re here sis you always were a trooper,” Allyson said snidely. “Though I’m surprised Raquel made it out. She isn’t as experienced as you are.”

“Wow you have absolutely no tact.” Raquel said defensively as Brittney shied away. “How can you even joke about that?”

“Wow so sensitive,” Allyson mocked. “You should consider yourself lucky, you got to experience a real party. Not that pansy stuff you have in whatever po dunk town you come from.” Raquel scoffed at how remarkably petty Allyson was being. “How about you sis?” Allyson teased evilly. “I figured you would’ve had an excellent time riding the old horse again.” If looks could kill then the look Brittney shot at Allyson in response would have blown her into a million tiny pieces.

“Why don’t you leave Allyson?” Raquel said angrily.

“Fine be hostile if you want,” Allyson said with a smirk. “I only did it to make you feel more at home.” Allyson stop short as she had accidentally revealed more than she intended.

“It was you,” Brittney said coming to a realization. Allyson gave a shiver and thought for a moment before deciding how to play it off.

“Well when I told some of your old friends you were back in town they were more than happy to give you a welcome back gift,” Allyson said trying to be cool but the reality of being caught by her own eagerness to insult was causing her to lose her nerve.

“ARE YOU INSANE!!” Brittney screamed getting the attention of several people nearby.

“Calm down Brit,” Allyson said quietly.

“I’m not going to calm down!” Brittney said ignoring her sister’s command. “You have lost your damn mind. Do you have any idea what this stuff does to people?”

“Look Brit I …”

“No you don’t! Even if you did you’re so obsessed with winning that it wouldn’t have stopped you from doing it anyway!”

“Can we talk about this later,” Allyson begged as several of the onlookers had pieced together what Brittney was referring to and were now angrily encroaching on Allyson.

“Did you even think!? Or are you that obsessed with being better than me, that you’d put everyone here, even members of your own team, in serious danger!” Allyson was now visibly panicking as she had become surrounded by a circle of angry cheer leaders all glaring at her. Brittney had only now noticed the growing crowd and snapped out of her anger. “I am not going to let you ruin my life just so you can have another trophy to lord over me.” With that Brittney backed into the crow behind her who let her pass without any trouble.

“Wait!” Allyson cried attempting to follow. Only when she reached the wall of angry cheer leaders they stood strong and Allyson bounced off of them and landed on the floor. Raquel wasn’t even concerned about the angry mob forming, she was only concerned about Brittney whose angry facade had faded into crying as she grew out of sight of her sister.

“Brit are you ok?” Raquel asked grabbing her friend. Brittney nodded yes.

“I’m glad I got that out of my system,” Brittney said jokingly as she wiped tears and snot away from her crying face. Raquel gave a sigh. Even though she was shaken Brittney was well enough to joke.

“You really gave her a talking to,” Raquel said admiringly. “She definitely had it coming. Do you really think she would’ve have drugged everyone just to have a better chance at winning?”

“No doubt,” Brittney said seriously, “She’s obsessed. She’ll do anything to win. She has to be the best at everything. I’d like to say that I’m surprised. That she wouldn’t try and throw me into relapse over a cheer competition. I’m not though.”

“You gonna be alright?” Brittney nodded.

“We’ve still got a competition to win,” Brittney said, her competitive drive returning and drowning out all other emotions. “Let’s kick her ass,” Brittney said confidently holding her hand out. Raquel smirked and grabbed Brittney’s hand. The two tightly closed their fists around each other’s hands.

- - - Updated - - -

sorry for the wait on this one. I bought breathe of the wild and immediately went into a 40 hour marathon of it where I didn't do anything else, that put me behind on a lot of things this included. Allyson being the one behind that whole incident was something I thought of to make he more of a villain. I felt like there needed to be a reason to hate her beyond her just being a horrible person to be around, and seeing just how legit insane she is gives a bigger reason for Brittney and her mom not to talk about her all that much. Anyway as always I hope you guys enjoyed it.

Very minor criticism here, but I just want to point out that you did seem a bit fuzzy on the effects of LSD. For one thing, it lasts around 8-12 hours and makes sleeping pretty much entirely impossible for the whole time, and I didn't really get the feeling that the sequence of events lasted quite that long. Another thing is that it's not physically addictive at all, so while someone could be abusing it, it wouldn't really be a drug problem in the same way that heroin or even alcohol would be. Also, usually it doesn't make people flirty and it usually increases energy if anything.

What you were talking about seems more like Rophypnol or something similar, usually called date rape drugs. That generally lowers inhibitions and decreases motor functions, as well as causing people to pass out (some of the motor function loss can last into the next day, which would also make a lot of sense if you wanted to sabotage a team). In addition, nail polish that can detect drugs like that is quite common, since it is much more commonly used to spike drinks. Some types of similar drugs can also be used recreationally and get people to be very addicted. All in all it just really seemed like someone had spiked it with something like that, since it all ties together much better.

Your writing (and this story in particular) is still great in general, it just seemed like you were talking about a different drug for that chapter.

[End of quote]

yeah you're probably right. I wouldn't know the most hardcore thing I've ever done is a weed brownie. If I'm wrong about something it's most likely because I don't know any better, I only have experience with people that are addicted.

Content: Chapter 20

Raquel and the rest of the cheer leaders had huddled together just inside the gymnasium. They shared a silent moment before they were called on to the main floor to being their routine. They quickly gathered in three small groups on the floor, their heads bowed silently as they waited for the music to start.

The anticipation was palpable as it always was in those brief moments before the music started. To them the moment seemed to drag on for hours, in reality though it was only a few seconds.

As the first beats of the song rang out from the speakers, all of the anxieties slipped away and the girls morphed into a well-tuned machine moving in beat with the rhythm of the music. The girls were in small three groups each seemingly operating independently of each other with their own flyers, but still somehow syncing up with the other groups.

As the routine progressed the three groups began forming together and reforming with different members creating a mesmerizing effect that was hard to ignore. As the routine came to a close everyone readied for the big finish. The three groups reorganized themselves into two one with Raquel and one with Kelsey. On the final note of the song they tossed Kelsey and Raquel to the opposite group.

The routine finished with applause from the onlookers in the stand. Though the judges didn’t give any outward signs of being impressed out of professionalism, everyone could tell that they were just as impressed with the performance as everyone else was.

Everyone gave a bow and ran off of the gym floor to make way for the next team. They met an ecstatic coach Miles outside.

“Great job again everyone I knew you guys could do it!” she said happily. Everyone was all smiles and congratulations, as they felt they had surely just secured themselves the first place finish.

As everyone else was celebrating a job well done Brittney snuck off by herself. Not that she didn’t want to celebrate with anyone, but the day’s events had left her incredibly tired and she needed a moment to catch her breathe before celebrating with everyone. While she was sitting off by herself she was surprised by a friendly tap on the shoulder.

“Good job honey,” came the voice of Barbra Cheng who had snuck up on her daughter.

“Mom!” Brittney exclaimed surprised. “What are you doing here?”

“I got an interesting call from the headmaster. So I rushed down here before they shipped your sister off to juvie.”

“So you know what happened then?” Brittney said quietly.

“Yes I do,” Brittney turned her head sadly. “Hey, I’m not mad at you ok,” Barbra said reassuringly. “None of this is your fault, and you shouldn’t have to be put through something like that.” Brittney was still quiet. “And I know that you wouldn’t do anything like that if you had the choice.”

“I’m glad one of us feels that way,” Brittney said grabbing her arm.

“Hey enough of that,” Barbra said gently brushing some hair out of Brittney’s face. “You’ve grown up so much since I brought you back home, you’ve matured into a smart and wonderful young woman, and I am very proud of you.” Brittney blushed.

“Thanks mom.”

“I’m glad I got to see your routine. That was really something.”

“Well that’s all Raquel and Kelsey,” Brittney said casually.

“Don’t be so modest. You went like 30 feet in the air. I don’t know how you do and keep your lunch.”

“Gross mom,” Brittney said giggling. “So what’s going to happen with Allyson?”

“Well she’s not staying here that’s for sure,” Barbra said speaking in a chastising motherly tone. “Honestly I forget what I ever saw in Emerald Beach to begin with. This is not a conducive environment to a child. Your sister is going to spend a month at a behavioral corrections camp for troubled teens.”

“Boot camp?” Brittney said saying what her mother really meant.

“Yes boot camp. It was either that or spend her time in juvie until she turns 18. She’s lucky I’m as good a lawyer as I am.” Brittney couldn’t help but feel a little sorry for her older sister, even with everything she had done.

“You think she’ll be alright?” Brittney asked with concern.

“She’ll be fine. This will probably do her some good. That being said I think I’m going to go down with her for the first week.”

“Doesn’t that defeat the purpose?”

“She won’t know I’m there don’t worry. I’m just going to make sure she’s alright, relatively speaking. Anyway I’m going to leave you to take care of the house while I’m gone.”

“Really,” Brittney said shocked at receiving that heavy a responsibility. “You sure?”

“You’ll be fine Brittney,” Barbra said confidently. “If I’ve learned anything from all this, it’s that you’re more grown up than I give you credit for.” Brittney couldn’t help but beam with pride. Barbra ruffled hair lovingly. “Ok I’ve got to go put out more fires now,” Barbra said getting up to leave. “Try not to do anything too crazy to the house while I’m not there.”

“Ok I won’t,” Brittney said smiling. With that boost in morale Brittney happily rejoined the rest of her squad.

“Was that your mom?” Kelsey said abruptly as Brittney rejoined the group.

“Yup,” Brittney said making an exaggerated awkward face. “Come to take care of Allyson."

“What’s going to happen to her?” Raquel asked curiously.

“Boot camp,” Brittney answered.

“That’s it!” Kelsey complained. “Your mom must be one hell of a lawyer for her to walk off with boot camp. She drugged like 30 people.”

“Kelsey!” Raquel scolded elbowing Kelsey as she did.

“Oh right sorry,” Kelsey apologizing for forgetting that Allyson and Brittney were sisters for a moment.

“You’re fine. I’m just glad that this is over with,” Brittney said with a sigh. The three were interrupted by a message on the school’s p.a. system.

“All competitors please report to the gymnasium for the announcement of the winners,” came the voice of a robotic receptionist.

Everyone giddily made their way into the gymnasium eagerly awaiting the announcement. They hushed as one of the judges calmly began reading out the winners.

“In third place,” The judge began in an official tone. “We have North Ridge Christian Academy,” There were applause as the mostly intact cheer squad came on stage to claim the third place trophy. Raquel couldn’t remember seeing anyone from that school at the party and couldn’t help but wonder if the school’s name had something to do with that. The entire group was ecstatic. Because so many had teams had dropped out they were able to place for the first time. It was difficult not to be caught up in the infectious glee coming from the group of girls enjoying their first victory, even if it was a small one.

“In second place,” the judge continued. “We have Emerald Beach Academy.” There was noticeably less applause as the team quickly grabbed their trophy and left that stage. “And finally in first place we have Madison High School. Applause erupted as the Madison high team happily made their way to the stage. Confetti rained down as the girls grabbed the trophy as a team and happily raised it above their heads.

“Thank you everyone for coming,” the judge said concluding the ceremony. “Congratulations to our winners, and thanks to all who participated, we hope to see you all again next year.”

With that most of the people left. Everyone on the Madison high team staying around a little longer to pose with the large trophy for several reporters. Finally the girls were allowed to leave and made their way back to the bus trophy in tow.

The bus quickly left making its way back to Madison High, all the girls on board filled with the adrenaline of their recent victory. Brittney approached Raquel and Kelsey who were talking quietly with each other in the front seat, sharing several congratulatory kisses.

“Hey lovebirds,” Brittney said ruining the romantic moment.

“What’s up Brit?” Raquel asked leaving Kelsey frustratingly unfulfilled.

“Well Mom’s out for a week making sure Allyson gets settled in. So I thought we could all have a little congratulations party at my place."

“You sure that’s a good idea?” Raquel asked.

“It’s good, I talked with everyone about it, and they are all on board for a very pg-13 party after what happened down here. Nothing but chips and soda.”

“That does sound like fun. I could use something to destress.”

“Tell me about it. I’ll text you details later ok.”

“Sounds good,” Raquel said as Brittney hurried off to another group of girls she was talking to.

“You’re going to make me go aren’t you?” Kelsey whined.

“Yes,” Raquel said teasingly. “You skipped the last party and looked what happened.”

“Fair enough,” Kelsey said giggling.

- - - Updated - - -

another chapter done. This marks the end of the cheer competiton arc, and this is mostly just wrapping up some loose ends. We're approaching the last arc of this story so get excited for that. The big difference from the original here is that Barbra showed up to watch Brittney perform. In the original I don't think she ever event told her mom what happened which is understandable. But since her sister was the villain I felt like she needed some reassurance that it wasn't her fault. Anyway hope you guys liked it.

Content: Chapter 21

Raquel and Kelsey pulled up to Brittney’s house. Sure enough there was a fairly large gathering of cheer leader’s cars outside, with a small group of them and their plus ones standing outside. Kelsey parked the car and she and Raquel made their way inside, the group who was talking outside gave happy waves as they entered. Once inside they were greeted with a fairly subdued gathering. There was a boom box playing not to loud music and the people inside were talking and snacking on chips and other finger foods.

“Hey you two,” Brittney said busily running out from the kitchen. “Glad you could make it,”

“I didn’t have too much trouble dragging grumpy out,” Raquel said cheekily. Kelsey gave a humph in response and pouted.

“Well you two enjoy yourselves. I’ve got to keep food coming out.” With that Brittney ran back into the kitchen, a few of the other less social cheer leaders followed to help her. Raquel and Kelsey moved to a quiet place in the living room.

“Try and have some fun ok,” Raquel said to Kelsey sweetly.

“I think everyone still holds a grudge against me,” Kelsey said concerned.

“And I think you’re overreacting. Just relax.” Raquel said brushing Kelsey’s concern off. Kelsey did not seem comforted by what Raquel said, but she was suddenly distracted by a vibration on her phone.

“Oh Sadie’s here,” Kelsey said relieved. She quickly walked to the door to let her friend in.

Despite her and Kelsey’s relationship, Raquel had spent very little time around Sadie White considering she had been Kelsey’s best friend for several years. She was one of the few people that stuck with Kelsey as she went more and more toward the queen bee that harassed Raquel earlier that year, and you could tell that Kelsey was grateful for it. Sadie was a few inches taller than the average high schooler, which when compared to Raquel and Kelsey, made her look like a giant. She had dirty blonde hair and not quite pale skin. Raquel though that she dressed oddly cute, she was wearing a pink shirt with flower print and a plaid skirt with a good bit of volume. Raquel and Kelsey were pretty plain in comparison. Kelsey was wearing a band t-shirt and some jeans, and Raquel was wearing a plain black shirt and a grey skirt so that she could wear a thicker diaper through the party and not worry about leaks. Even still her skirt did not have the volume and poof that Sadie’s had.

“Hey girl,” Sadie said joking waving cheerfully at Raquel.

“Hey Sadie,” Raquel said a little awkwardly.

“Why have you been dressing so weird lately?” Kelsey asked immediately nit picking her friends outfit.

“What?” Sadie said defensively.

“You look like a little kid. I swear I can’t take you anywhere.”

“Nothing wrong with being a little kid from time to time,” Sadie said trying to sound philosophical.

“Whatever you say Sadie,” Kelsey said condescendingly.

“Anyway how have you two been?” Sadie asked with a wink. “I feel like I almost never get to hang out with you two."

"It's going great," Kelsey said giddily. "I haven't told you about the competition yet. You're not going to believe it"

Kelsey and Sadie continued reminiscing. Raquel felt a bit like a third wheel, but she was happy that Sadie’s presence was helping Kelsey open up more. Raquel gave Kelsey a peck on the cheek as she left to go find Brittney. She didn’t have to look long, she found Brittney busying herself in the kitchen bringing a pan of brownies out of the oven.

“Ok one of you bring that out to the living room,” Brittney said to the group of girls that were helping her. “Careful it’s hot,” She added as one of them picked it up and carried it out to the living room as ordered the rest of them following her. Raquel absent mindedly began helping Brittney clean up. “Where’s your other half?” Brittney asked.

“Talking to Sadie,” Raquel said quickly.

“Do I sense jealousy?”

“No. I’m pretty sure Sadie is straight. Besides, it’s also helping Kelsey open up a bit more and socialize so it’s fine.”

“If you say so,” Brittney said jokingly. “Thanks for the help by the way,” Brittney said as Raquel was cleaning and putting away some silverware.

“Don’t mention it,” Raquel said putting away a used plate. “Picking up after these things can be a nightmare, it’s good to get a head start.”

After putting away a few dishes Brittney and Raquel made their way out to the living room to enjoy the party. Raquel could see that Alicia was dancing very evocatively with Chase Collins and a few guys from the football team.

“I shouldn’t have invited her,” Brittney said noting Raquel’s stare. “I knew she would try and take this party to a place no one wants to take it to. It was supposed to be a nice chill time after that fiasco at Emerald Beach, but look at her.”

“I guess that’s Alicia Kent now,” Raquel said wistfully. "Something tells me she prefers the kind of party Emerald Beach had."

“Hey don't think about her. If you tell Kelsey I said this I'll deny it, but I think you’re better off with Kelsey anyway.” Raquel suddenly felt a familiar pain in her bladder and involuntarily fidgeted with her skirt. “You good?” Brittney asked.

“I’m fine it was just another accident,” Raquel said her voice wavering as she was still going.

“You sure?”

“Yeah,” Raquel said shifting around anxiously. “I think I just drank a little too much soda.”

“We still have a pack of your diapers up stairs in my room from when you were here last,” Brittney said quietly.

"Thanks," Raquel said quietly. She quickly began making her way through the living room to the stairs that would lead to Brittney’s room.

As she made her way up a few of the steps she felt a tap on her shoulder. She quickly turned around to find a slightly flustered Sadie.

“Uh just wanted to tell you, your diaper was showing.” Raquel gasped and blushed. Sure enough as she brought her hand behind her back she found that her skirt had gotten caught in the waist band of her diaper leaving it in full view, and Sadie clearly just saw it.

Even with most of the cheer squad knowing about her diapers Raquel was still extremely embarrassed when other found out about it. So, she found herself unable to speak and began stammering incoherently in front of Sadie.

“Oh I’m sorry I didn’t mean to upset you,” Sadie said calmingly. “I’ve actually been wanting to talk to you for a while.” Sadie said shyly. Sadie motioned for Raquel to follow her up the stairs. Raquel, still unsure followed her up. Once they were at the top Sadie took a quick look around to make sure no one was there. "Kelsey told me that you wore diapers," Sadie said very anxiously. "and well." Sadie stopped talking and shyly lifted her skirt to reveal a diaper, one that was the same brand Raquel was wearing. Like Raquel’s it sport a mildly childish design, with patterns of trains and toy blocks covering it.

“You have accidents too?” Raquel asked amazed.

“Well not exactly,” Sadie said blushing. “You looked like you really needed a change. We can talk after that.” Raquel continued on to Brittney’s room. She walked in to change herself as she closed the door Sadie gave a happy wave.

Raquel’s mind was racing as she changed herself. She had never met another person that needed diapers like she did. She knew they existed, but she had never met one. As a result she had always felt alone. Like she was the only girl in the world that had this problem. Everyone that knew about it always looked at her differently, they couldn’t help it, and there was no way they could ever relate. Now there was someone who could. She had so many questions for her and so much to talk about.

Raquel emerged from Brittney’s room freshly changed. Sadie was waiting patiently for her.

“I was hoping you wouldn’t mind talking a little,” Raquel asked.

“Same,” Sadie replied happily.

“That’s great,” Raquel said happily as she and Sadie found a quiet corner upstairs to talk. “I’ve never talked to anyone that needs them like I do.”

“Well,” Sadie said embarrassed. “To be honest with you, I don’t need them.”

“What do you mean?” Raquel asked confused.

“It’s complicated,” Sadie said truthfully. “Short version is that I just like wearing them. They make me feel safe and small.” Raquel looked at Sadie confused.

“You mean you just wear them for ... fun?” she said in disbelief. “You don’t have accidents.”

“Well they aren’t accidents to me,” Sadie answered. “I still use them, but it’s on purpose.”

Raquel had difficulty finding the words to say. Part of her was insulted that someone would find joy and excitement in something that had long been a source of torment for her. At the same time though, she could see where Sadie was coming from. She felt naked and constantly scared without her diapers, they offered her a sense of protection, made her feel safer. And it’s not like she had room to talk. In the back of her mind Raquel had known that she had let herself go lately. Not even bothering to attempt to make it to an actual toilet. Willingly wetting her diaper was easier than the fruitless struggle of holding it in only to have her bladder give out moments later. Plus just because Sadie wore them for fun doesn’t mean she didn’t go through some of the same struggles as Raquel. Finding clothes to hide them, always having to keep track of how wet you are and where you can change, and dealing with uncomfortableness after too long in a wet diaper were all likely things that Sadie had to deal with as well. She was just doing them by choice, all of those sacrifices making up for, or maybe adding to, whatever happiness wearing diapers brought her.

“You’re mad at me aren’t you?” Sadie asked disheartened.

“No, it’s just a little hard for me to understand,” Raquel said trying to cheer Sadie up.

“It’s called ab/dl,” Sadie blurted out suddenly. “I’m not the only one, lots of people are this way. We like to look and act childish, and diapers are a big part of that. Probably the biggest part for me.”

“Oh so you like to act like a kid?” Raquel asked. This line of questioning was obviously embarrassing Sadie but she explained anyway.

“Yeah basically. Sometimes I will dress a little younger,” Sadie said gesturing to her outfit. “Younger than this even. I have some pacifiers and bottles and other things like that. I thought you might have been one too when I saw the kind of diaper you had.” Raquel shook her head.

“No I was just tired of the plain white print ones. I do like how cute they are though. The baby diapers were because I was out of my usual brand so I had to borrow from my little brother and sister.”

“Oh, my mistake.” Sadie said becoming slightly less nervous as Raquel continued with an accepting attitude. "Even if we are wearing them for completely different reason though, if you ever need someone to talk to about it I’m still here.”

“Thanks Sadie,” Raquel said standing up. “We should head back downstairs I’m sure everyone is looking for us.” Sadie nodded in agreement and the two made their way back downstairs.

The party continued for another hour or two, before gradually everyone left. Brittney, Ryan, Raquel, Kelsey, and Sadie were the only ones left and were picking up a few pieces of trash when they were interrupted by the sound of thunder outside. Brittney opened the front door to try and see the weather, and the whole house was filled with a sudden rush of chilled air. After turning on the outside light Brittney could make out millions of rather thick snowflakes falling to the ground. The others had also come to witness the phenomenon too. Snow wasn’t particularly common in Madison, and much less the thunder snow they were seeing now.

“Well I guess you guys are all staying the night huh?” Brittney said, a loud crack of thunder and flash of lightning answering her question for her.

- - - Updated - - -

Hey guys sorry again about the long wait. I'm a big overwatch player and blizzard made another heros of the storm crossover, and I've been struggling to get through all of those games I need to get overwatch goodies. Anyway this is going to be the first of a three part series that's basically telling the story of one large scene, this party and resulting sleepover at Brittney's house. The first chapter was that actual party, the next will be the night where everyone stays over, and then finally we'll have the day after. Obviously the big turn of events here is that Sadie White, Kelsey's long time friend. has been an ab this whole time. Yep 21 chapters in and I'm finally showing an ab character. I actually took most of the ideas for this chapter from a conversation I had with the author of the original Raquel's only wish posted the corresponding chapter to this one. As far as differences go I don't think there are any. Nothing major anyway. Anyways as always I hope you guys enjoy it.

Content: Chapter 22

The gang all gathered around Brittney’s giant tv in her living room, resting quietly while the blizzard raged outside. Brittney was starting to put on her third movie of the night. Everyone at this point was convinced that the blizzard wasn’t going to stop any time soon and had accepted the fact that they would be stuck there for the night.

“I can’t believe you haven’t seen this movie Kelsey,” Brittney said amazed as she put in a fairly popular cheer leading themed movie. “It seems so up your alley.”

“There’s more to my life than cheer leading you know?” Kelsey said a bit annoyed. “Plus these movies are really unrealistic, the characters are just totally unbelievable.”

“What are you talking about Kelsey? You’re a dead ringer for Sheela.”

“The bully character?” Kelsey responded angrily.

Raquel quietly enjoyed the comical conversation between Kelsey and Brittney, meanwhile a slightly uncomfortable Sadie took advantage of the distraction to pull Raquel aside.

“Hey,” Sadie whispered earnestly. “Did you bring any extra diapers?” Raquel quietly nodded and she and Sadie snuck off. “Sorry,” Sadie said once they were safely out of earshot of everyone else. “I wasn’t planning on staying for this long and I am soaked”

“It’s no problem,” Raquel said giggling. “Brittney keeps a lot of my diapers here for when I come over, and I don’t think she’ll pin it on you if some go missing.”

“Good,” Sadie said relieved. “There comes a point where even I get uncomfortable in them.” Raquel led Sadie to Brittney’s room and showed her the closet where Raquel’s diapers were.

“Here you go,” Raquel said politely. “I’ll keep watch outside and make sure no one barges in on you.”

“Thanks, you’re a good friend,” Sadie said cheerfully. “Oh by the way,” Sadie began to ask, a little embarrassed. “Do you uh … mess in them,” Sadie asked turning red. Raquel also turned red in response. “I need to, but if you don’t I don’t want Brittney thinking you do.”

“I don’t if I can help it,” Raquel said quietly.

“Ok I’ll just use the toilet,” Sadie said quickly retreating to change, very eager to move past that conversation. Raquel continued to blush at the personal question as she stood outside of Brittney’s room so Sadie could change in peace.

After a few moments Sadie emerged as a loud clap of thunder caused the lights in the house to flicker. Sadie and Raquel returned to the living room where Brittney was looking anxiously outside.

“Where have you two been?” Kelsey asked.

“Had to use the bathroom,” Sadie said as if she’d rehearsed it a thousand times.

“I just needed to stretch my legs,” Raquel said.

“I think we all need to go to bed anyway,” Brittney said looking away from the window. “I don’t think the power will last much longer. I’ve got mom’s bed, my bed, and a guest bed, and I’m going to lay down the law no cuddling alright.” Ryan seemed more than a little bummed at this but didn’t verbally complain.

“I’ll take the guest bed,” Kelsey said quickly. “You don’t want to see me without my beauty sleep.”

“It only seems fair that you get your own bed Brittney,” Sadie stated.

“Ok,” Brittney said agreeing. “That leaves my parent’s bed, Raquel?”

“I’m fine sleeping on the couch,” Raquel said politely. “Someone else can take it.”

“And I’d feel weird sleeping in your parents bed,” Sadie said. “No offense.”

“Well if you guys are sure about it I’ll take a bed,” Ryan said with a hint of sarcasm.

“So Raquel and Sadie you two got the couches in here.” Raquel and Sadie nodded. Neither of them were particularly concerned as the two couches in Brittney’s living room were about the size of a small bed anyway. And the two of them were also anxious to be alone, both of them were eager to discuss diapers with each other, as weird as they thought that was.

While Brittney was off making sure everyone was accommodated Raquel found Kelsey alone and was reminded that she really needed a change before bed. Before she had the chance to ask Kelsey though Raquel felt the pain the signaled she needed to make a bowel movement. Normally Raquel would go toward the bathroom as she had plenty of control of her bowel movements. Strangely though Raquel thought of Sadie, how she enjoyed being in diapers, and seemed to relish in using them, at least to a certain extent. Raquel couldn’t exactly put the logic together that made her come to this conclusion, but Sadie’s presence made her want to mess her diaper on purpose, something so hadn’t ever done and was typically loathe to do.

Even though she would never tell anyone this, Raquel lately had been wetting her diaper on purpose, even when she felt it early enough to make it to a bathroom. It felt like it didn’t matter to her since she would still be in diapers at the end of the day regardless. Now she felt similarly about messing.

Raquel made up her mind, she abruptly crouched down and began to mess her diaper. Everyone else was too busy figuring out sleeping arrangements to notice Raquel, and if they had it would have been painfully obvious what she was doing.

It took a few moments before Raquel was able to finish. She stood still trying to get used to the feeling. She had been in messy diapers before, but those were accidents. This she had chosen to do, and that made the experience seem different somehow. Raquel snapped out of the head space she was in and approached Kelsey.

“Hey babe,” she asked Kelsey quietly. “Kelsey turned to give Raquel her attention. “I need you to help change me I had an accident,” Raquel whispered, embarrassed to admit what she had done.

“You mean?” Kelsey asked quietly. Raquel nodded her head, confirming Kelsey's suspicions. “Alright, I brought some wipes with me, I’ll help you.” Kelsey grabbed Raquel’s hand and led her up to the guest bedroom Kelsey had claimed earlier. Raquel gently took off her skirt as Kelsey cleared out a place on the bed for Raquel. “What happened?” Kelsey asked with concern.

“I don’t know?” Raquel lied as she laid down on the bed. “It just sort of happened and I couldn’t stop it.” Raquel didn’t know why she lied. Perhaps she didn’t want Kelsey to feel like she was only useful to Raquel as much as she could change dirty diapers. Or maybe she was just too embarassed to admit that she had done it on purpose, and that she didn't hate it. Kelsey kept on her best face as she opened Raquel’s diaper and began cleaning her with baby wipes.

“Should you go see a doctor about this?”

“It was probably just a fluke,” Raquel said trying to ease Kelsey’s worry.

“Ok,” Kelsey said unconvinced. “You should see a doctor if this happens again though.” Kelsey wrapped up Raquel’s used diaper and replaced it with a clean one, cleaning her up a little more before taping it on. "There all clean. I hope Brittney doesn't mind this diaper going in with the other."

“I’m sorry,” Raquel said feeling suddenly guilty about having Kelsey clean up her purposeful mess.

“Don’t be,” Kelsey said sweetly. “I don’t mind changing you. I think it’s kinda cute actually,” Kelsey said quickly, trying to judge Raquel’s reaction. Raquel blushed and couldn’t think of what to say. Kelsey helped Raquel up and then kissed her on the cheek. Raquel kissed her back on the lips. Kelsey gently pushed her away. “Brittney said no cuddling remember.”

“Stupid Brittney,” Raquel said playfully.

“Put a pin in this we’ll come back to it later,” Kelsey said flirtatiously.

“Good night,” Raquel said as she left the room. “And thanks.” Kelsey smiled as Raquel left and made her way back to the living room.

When she returned downstairs Raquel found Brittney talking with Sadie making sure she and Raquel had enough blankets, and gave Sadie a battery powered lantern in case the power went out. Brittney gave a happy wave as she passed Raquel on her way to her own bed.

Raquel and Sadie sat in awkward silence for a while making sure everyone else was asleep.

“I think we’re all clear,” Sadie said after a few minutes. She turned on the lantern so that she and Raquel had more light. “I’m going to take my skirt off if that’s ok with you,” Sadie said as she already began wiggling out of her skirt. “Am I the only one thinks it gets uncomfortable wearing something over them for too long?”

“No you’re not”, Raquel said as she also got out of her skirt. “Plus it’s just nice not to have to hide it.”

“Yeah you’re right. It’s like I can be more myself.” Sadie said as Raquel nodded enthusiastically. “Hey I’ve got a weird idea if you’ll hear me out,” Sadie began. “We should make a blanket fort. Brittney sure gave us enough blankets, and we can stay up and talk without totally freezing and without wearing anything over our diapers.”

“Ok,” Raquel said giggling. “I don’t think I’ve ever made a blanket for before so you’ll have to show me what to do.”

Raquel and Sadie quickly built up a small blanket fort. They turned one of the couches around and draped a blanket between the back of the couch and the nearby chairs, putting the cushions from the couch on the floor. With the two of the safely and snugly in the confines of their blanket fort, Sadie turned on the lantern illuminating the two of them inside.

“Well,” Sadie began a little awkwardly. “You want to go first?”

“You said that you liked wearing them?” Raquel asked hesitantly. “And you like using them.” Sadie nodded yes. “Did you always like them?”

“As long as I can remember,” Sadie replied. “Mom thinks I picked up from being around my sister but I think I’ve liked them before she was born.”

“Your sister?” Raquel asked confused.

“Yeah Abby. She’s like you she needs diapers. She has a really small bladder, it didn’t grow right or something so she was never able to be potty trained.”

“That sounds familiar,” Raquel said wistfully.

“What do you mean?”

“That’s how it was for me, or at least that’s how I remember it. I never finished potty training either, not for lack of trying.”

“You never figured out why you couldn’t?” Sadie asked a little amazed that Raquel had never wondered the reason behind her incontinence herself. Raquel nodded her head no.

“I guess it was never that important. It was a problem I had it didn't really matter to me what caused it. Plus I didn’t have a whole lot growing up. No doctor visits to tell me what was up.”

“Oh yeah, Kelsey mentioned you were adopted.”

“It’s not a big secret,” Raquel said jokingly. “I mean when you look at me I don’t really look like the rest of the Coopers.”

“How did it work with you being incontinent in a foster home?” Sadie asked, she quickly recoiled at her question. “I’m sorry that was really personal. You don’t have to answer it if you don’t want to.”

“No it’s fine,” Raquel said calmly. “I wasn’t really popular at the orphanage. I guess people didn’t want a kid that had a condition like mine. Most of the homes I got sent to were like halfway homes. Basically a couple would adopt a bunch of kids so they could get government benefits. They definitely didn’t help. Most of them treated me like I was autistic, or they just grouped me with the rest of the babies, and treated me like a baby even if I was two or three years older than some of the ‘big kids.’ And others forced me to stay in diapers because it meant that they got more money out of me.”

“Oh my god I’m so sorry Raquel,” Sadie said after Raquel had finished. “I didn’t mean to bring that up.”

“Don’t worry about it. I get kind of mad when I think about my old homes, and tend to ramble. But really I’m ok with it now. Those kind of places don’t last too long without someone finding out about it, and they all got what was coming to them in the end. I’m with a good home now so I can look back at all that and not have it bother me anymore.”

“Well I’m glad you managed to get out of all those awful homes. The Coopers are ok with it though?”

“Mrs. Cooper is,” Raquel clarified. “And her kids are too. Mr. Cooper is indifferent, which I can put up with. I'd rather have someone be indifferent about it than use it against me. What about you? You talk like your mom knows about you wearing. I she ok with it?”

“Well,” Sadie said blushing. “I told you how Abby was incontinent. Well for a while I would take her diapers and use them. Abby was ok with it, but eventually mom found out what was going on and I had to come clean.”

“How did that go?”

“Well she wasn’t happy," Sadie said with a hint of sadness. "I think she was more upset that I was taking them, and Abby didn't it like it because it made it look like she was using diapers more than she was. Anyway, mom and Abby decided that the appropriate punishment was to make me wear and use diapers full time like Abby.”

“Oh so she’s making you wear diapers?” Raquel asked with a little concern.

“Well it started out that way. That was at the start of the school year. I’ve been in diapers ever since, and I think if I asked she would let me go back to regular underwear, but I haven’t.”

“Liking it too much?” Raquel asked with a cheeky grin. Sadie nodded yes.

“But I did learn a little going 24/7. I think I underestimated how much of a hassle it could be sometimes. I haven’t gotten sick of them yet though.”

“At least you’re enjoying it,” Raquel said thoughtfully. “You know I never really thought of diapers as something I could enjoy. At best they could be not that bad you know. They made me feel safer and more secure, but I wouldn’t describe them as fun. Maybe I've been missing something this whole time. They can be fun.”

“That’s the spirit,” Sadie said cheerfully. “I’m glad I could help you see them in a different light. Abby said something similar after I started wearing full time.”

“I’d like to meet Abby some time if it’s alright. No offense, but I would like to talk with someone who actually needs them.”

“No I totally get it. I’m sure she’d love to talk to you too.” Sadie let out a yawn as she finished her thought. “I’m glad we got a chance to talk Raquel, but I’m ready to go to bed.”

“Yeah it is getting pretty late.”

“See you in the morning.”

“Yeah good night.”

- - - Updated - - -

sorry for the wait guys, I was busy trying to get back in to final fantasy in time for the new expansion so I ended up putting this off for a while. In case you forgot this is the middle to part to the mini sleep over arc. I didn't change a whole lot between this and the old version. One addition I made was the bit where Raquel purposefully messed herself. I debated whether or not to add it in, though it might be too much, but I remembered that I've gone that direction earlier so I left it in. It adds to the theme this chapter is supposed to have. Now that Raquel has accepted that she needs diapers, she can look at Sadie and start to enjoy them like she does, though not to the same extent. She's more open to talking about them and less bothered when Kelsey says that the diapers looked cute. Hope you guys enjoyed it, hopefully I'll be able to put the next part out a little faster.

Raquel was the first the stir the next morning. Both she and Sadie had ended up sleeping in pretty late as they had stayed up the night before. Despite their best efforts Raquel and Sadie couldn’t hope to make their blanket fort as comfortable as a bed so Raquel managed to beat Brittney and Ryan awake, though the quality of her sleep could be put in to question. Only one person in the house managed to beat Raquel awake, Kelsey, who was sitting quietly in a nearby chair. Raquel beamed as she saw Kelsey. She quickly rose out of the pile of blankets with her hair in a mess and wearing nothing but her t-shirt and a very obviously wet diaper. Despite Raquel’s happy expression Kelsey did not seem as amused.

“What’s wrong?” Raquel asked wondering why Kelsey wasn’t returning her happiness.

“Have fun last night?” Kelsey asked accusingly.

“What?” Raquel asked not quite getting what Kelsey was asking.

“It just seems like you and Sadie got really close last night,” Kelsey said gesturing to Sadie who was beginning to squirm among the pile of blankets.

“It’s not what you think,” Raquel said seriously after finally figuring out what Kelsey was suggesting. As Raquel said this Sadie also woke. One glance at Kelsey and Sadie uttered a small screech from her and she instinctively covered up with a blanket as she was in a similar dress to Raquel and did not want Kelsey to find out about her diapers.

“Oh really it’s not what I think it is?” Kelsey asked angrily, Sadie’s shocked reaction not helping to convince her otherwise.

“No it’s really not!” Raquel said more defensively this time. She was about to explain the entire situation until she looked at Sadie and her deathly panicked expression and decided against it. “Can you just trust me?” Raquel said annoyed.

“No!” Kelsey said offended. “Clearly I’ve been trusting you too much as it is! To think that for a second I thought I had found someone that understands me,” Kelsey said beginning to tear up.

“Kelsey,” Raquel said trying to get her to calm down.

“And with you of all people,” Kelsey said angrily gesturing to Sadie. “Not in to girls huh?” Sadie could only nervously quiver in response very aware of how much of her diaper the blanket she was hiding under was covering. "Please. Just so you know I would have been a lot better to you than she will."

“Kelsey it’s really not what you think it is.”

“Then what is it? Why don’t you explain to me what exactly I’m looking at?” Raquel again glanced at Sadie who seemed to be fearing what she thought was going to be the inevitable reveal.

“I can’t tell you,” Raquel said unwilling to sell Sadie out. “You’re just going to have to trust me. I wouldn’t do that to you Kelsey.” Raquel said earnestly.

“Save it,” Kelsey said now fully in tears. “I can’t believe you. It was stupid of me to open up to anyone,” Kelsey said as she ran outside.

“Kelsey!” Raquel said worried. She followed Kelsey out into the cold despite her lack of pants. The ice from the night before was only just beginning to thaw so Kelsey had to be careful as she got into her car. Raquel couldn’t move fast enough to stop her before she shut the door and locked it. Raquel banged lightly on the glass of the driver’s side door. “Come on Kelsey don’t do this to yourself. Let’s just talk about it.” Kelsey abruptly put her car in reverse causing Raquel to lose her balance and fall. Raquel yelled as she fell on her knee in the driveway.

Kelsey gave a brief look to see if Raquel was ok. Raquel had hunched over on the ground attempting to stop the bleeding coming from her knee. She was hurt but not seriously. Raquel gave one last begging look for Kelsey to stay, but once Kelsey saw that Raquel wasn't seriously injured she sped off. Raquel gave a defeated sigh and made her way back inside.

Sadie awaited Raquel inside, she had quickly gotten back into her skirt as soon as she was out of Kelsey’s line of sight. She was a shivering nervous wreck, and was crying almost as much as Kelsey was.

“Oh god Raquel I’m so sorry,” Sadie said bawling. “This is all my fault. Why couldn’t I just tell her the truth? I just panicked and I locked up and.”

“It’s not your fault,” Raquel said sighing. “Kelsey is just a little paranoid about these kind of things. I’ll call her in a few days after she’s calmed down.” Raquel’s calm statements were expertly hiding the feelings she had inside. In truth she was worried. Worried that the only real relationship she’s ever had would be ended over nothing.

Part of her did blame Sadie for it, but she understood why Sadie had frozen up like that. To have such a big secret be revealed to your best friend, in such a sudden and revealing way to boot. Thankfully, or not so thankfully, Kelsey didn’t seem to notice that Sadie was wearing a diaper. Likely she was too distracted with the own images she was conjuring up in her head, ones that were much worse than what had actually transpired.

“I should go,” Sadie said suddenly. “All I’ve done is mess everything up like I always do.” Raquel was silent, because there was a lot of truth to what Sadie had said no matter how harmfully self-deprecating it was.

“Yeah I think we all need to head home and calm down a little,” Raquel said plainly. She didn’t want Sadie to continue down her self-destructive train of thought but at the same time Raquel didn’t really want to be around her right now either.

“Yeah yeah,” Sadie said. “Do you need help with that cut or …”

“I’m good,” Raquel said cutting Sadie off. “It’s not as bad as it looks. Just a scraped knee.”

“Ok,” Sadie said still feeling bad about herself. “Thanks for keeping it secret, and I’m sorry it all turned out like this.”

“It’s not a problem,” Raquel lied. With that Sadie quickly made her way out into the cold and into her truck desperate to escape the situation.

Raquel turned around to see that her fight with Kelsey had roused Brittney from her slumber. Ryan was likely awake somewhere unseen.

“Everything ok?” Brittney asked with concern.

“No,” Raquel said struggling to keep her composure.

“Come on,” Brittney said helping Raquel up. “I think mom has a first aid kit in her office let’s get that cut taken care of.” With Brittney doing most of the walking for the both of them Raquel finally began crying, the weight of losing her first girlfriend catching up with her.

Brittney sat Raquel down in the big chair in her mother’s office and began digging around for the first aid kit. After a brief moment Brittney found the first aid kit buried in a drawer. She moved an open file on her mother’s desk to the side to set the first aid kit down. Brittney quickly got to work putting a bandage over Raquel’s knee. By the time she had finished Raquel had calmed down a good bit.

“There,” Brittney said smoothing out the bandage. “Feel better?” Raquel nodded no. “It’ll be ok,” Brittney said as she began packing up the first aid kit. “We should get you changed into a new diaper too,” Brittney said quietly. “It’d help you feel at least a little better.” Raquel began to get up but Brittney put a hand on her shoulder as a signal for her to stay. “Don’t worry about it Raquel I’ll take care of you.”

“But …” Raquel began.

“You are in no condition to do anything but mope ok, and we’re good enough friends that I can change your diaper.” Raquel didn’t make any further objections. “And next time I get all depressed you can change my diaper and make me feel better. Then we’ll be even.” Raquel let out a small chuckle at her friends joke.

Brittney left to grab a clean diaper leaving Raquel alone in Mrs. Cheng’s office. Raquel couldn’t help but glance at the open file that Brittney had accidentally opened when she moved it out of the way. Raquel guessed that it must have been a file on a recent case considering the others were neatly filed away in a nearby file cabinet. She only took occasional glances at it until she noticed something unusual, her last name. On second glance sure enough she could make out a sentence “This case is related to the case of one Mr. and Mrs. Hernandez Costa del Sol Puerto Rico.”

Brittney returned to her mom’s office, one of Raquel’s diapers in hand to find Raquel reading over an open file.

“Hey are you looking through mom’s case files?” Brittney said alarmed. “That stuff is confidential Raquel. My mom will kill me if she finds out you read it.”

“Brittney come read this,” Raquel said in a hushed tone.

“Didn’t you hear what I just said?” Brittney said annoyed.

“I think it’s about my mom,” Raquel said in disbelief.

“What! Why would my mom have anything on your mom?” Brittney asked becoming more intrigued.

“I don’t know,” Raquel began. “I don’t understand a lot of this, but it talks about someone called Damon Blackwell. He’s the student at Emerald beach that sold your sister those drugs.”

“What does that have to do with anything?” Brittney said eager not to talk about that event.

“I don’t know,” Raquel continued. Brittney’s curiosity got the better of her and she began looking over the file with Raquel.

“Woah. Raquel this is some C.I.A stuff. If I’m reading this right it says that Damon Blackwell is the son of Cynthia Blackwell, and Cynthia Blackwell is a witness protection identity for Carmen Hernandez.

*****

Barbra Cheng stood anxiously inside a side room of the courthouse. She felt pretty confident that she had her case won. Rarely ever was the public defender work she was doing so complicated, however. Drugs, theft, murder, and an innocent little girl, it all was a little more dramatic than what she was used to. Regardless the prosecution had nothing on her client, despite his clear motive and intent, his gun hadn’t been fired and no one was there to see or hear him commit the crime, which was odd considering that the alleged crime happened at a motel. Surely someone else would’ve had to have been staying there and heard something, but the motel was surprisingly empty, and the police seemed to arrive surprisingly fast. The whole thing gave Barbra a suspicious feeling about the whole thing, but she knew a victory when she saw one.

Finally, Cameron Cooper entered the room. He was flustered with sweat beginning to form on his brow, and had that look that said he knew he was losing. Despite this he retained a serious composure as he quickly slammed a suitcase down on the table in the room and began fidgeting with the locks.

“I don’t care what’s in that brief case Cooper,” Barbra said assuming he was about to make an offer. “This case is over and you know it. Motive is not murder, you may have the motive but you don’t have any proof that my client committed the murder. His story checks out they were dead when he got there.” Cooper seemed to not be paying attention to her until he finally managed to get the combination on the brief case locks right. He opened it and stared at its contents. “Well?” Barbra said expecting an offer.

“Listen Barbie,” Cooper began.

“Don’t call me that,” Barbra snapped.

“Look this thing is bigger than you,” Cameron said seriously. “There are a lot of people south of the border that want Miguel Hernandez in prison.”

“Well they can deal with it. He’s innocent. Just who are these people down south anyway?”

“Well his wife for one,” Cameron said with a sigh.

“What?” Barbra said shocked. “I thought she was dead.”

“No she’s very much alive and wants nothing more to do with the cartel.”

“You can’t prove that Miguel …”

“I can’t prove it but everyone knows it’s true. She set him up as a deal to the cartels who are paying a pretty penny to make sure Miguel doesn’t see freedom again.”

“What’s in it for her?”

“A new life, a new identity. Goodbye Carmen Hernandez, hello Cynthia Blackwell.”

“Neat story, but that doesn’t change my mind,” Barbra said with conviction. “Innocent is innocent no matter what the cartel says.”

“If you really believed that then why did you agree to meet me in here,” Cameron said seriously.

“Fine let’s talk turkey. What’s your offer?” Cameron turned the suitcase around. The lid was lined with checks and the inside was stuffed with 100 dollar bills.

“Five million,” Cameron said. “That’s got to be a good deal more than they are paying you to be public defender. Not to mention that these people aren’t ones to be trifled with as I’m sure you’re aware. It would be a good deal safer for you in the long run if you took the deal.”

“Are you threatening me?” Barbra asked angrily.

“I’m not, but they are.”

Cameron was right, and Barbra knew it. The people who came up with the term starving artist hadn’t seen a lawyer trying to make due with public defender money. And she wouldn’t live much longer if she made enemies the cartels. With her stomach growling loudly in her head it didn’t take her long to come to her decision. She quickly closed the briefcase shut and held it to her chest.

“You made the right call,” Cameron said giving a sigh of relief. Cameron slid Barbra a file. “There’s the details to Hernandez’s identity, just so you’re in the loop.” Barbra slid the file in the briefcase before locking it shut. “This doesn’t leave this room understand.” Barbra nodded and she and Cameron quietly left the room.

******

“Wow I can’t believe mom did that,” Brittney said astonished. “It looks like Cynthia's son, if he even is her son, followed in his dad’s footsteps if I’m reading this right. No offense.” Raquel nodded quietly.

“You’re fine,” Raquel said quietly.

“Look here,” Brittney said pointing to a line on the file. “It looks like this is her address. She’s not that far away just in the next state.”

“Really?” Raquel asked amazed. “Wow after all this time I could finally see mom again.”

“Sounds like we got a road trip planned,” Brittney said happily. Raquel’s face lit up. “It’ll be fun. We’ve still got a few days before mom gets back, and I’d like to know more about this woman mom sold out for.”

- - - Updated - - -

This is the last chapter in the sleepover arc, and as you can tell it's mostly just set up for the next and final arc. If you can't tell that flashback scene is suppoused to be taking place while Raquel and Brittney were reading over the file. Think of it like a scene from wishbone where the kids are reading a book and the scene is playing out in a fantasy scene as they read it. Much like the other chapters in the sleepover arc this isn't too much different from the original. There's more emphasis put on Kelsey's thought that Raquel was cheating on her since they are in an actual relationship in this version. And the reasoning for going on the road trip is different. In the original Raquel sort of gave up on Kelsey at this point and was hoping to go on the trip to permenantly leave. In my version she's doing it more just to see her mom and talk to her, not move in with her. And in case you're wondering Damon Blackwell is kind of just a call out to the other version. It was a plot point in the second book that Raquel had a brother, by a different father I think. He's not going to be a plot point it's just a nod to the original. Anyway hope you guys enjoyed it.

Ryan was quickly packing up one of Brittney’s suitcases with her clothes. She had agreed to let Raquel wear her clothes while they were away so there was enough for the two of them.

“We’ll have to go buy your place and get you some clothes too honey,” Brittney said playfully hitting Ryan on the shoulder. “Unless you want to wear some of my dresses.”

“You’d like that wouldn’t you?” Ryan said snarkily as he closed the suitcase. Brittney giggled playfully. “You know we’re only going to be spending one night at a hotel right? It feels like you packed for a week.”

“We have feminine needs right Raquel?”

“Right,” Raquel said nervously. She had emerged from Brittney’s closet holding an unopened package of diapers.

“Still nervous?” Brittney asked. Raquel nodded meekly.

“Don’t be,” Ryan said happily. “I’m sure your mom is going to be just as happy to see you as you are to see her.”

“I guess,” Raquel said quietly. “But what if the reason I ended up in foster care is because she didn’t want me?”

“Well if that’s the case then you get the chance to say ‘screw you’ right to her face,” Brittney said optimistically. “It’s a win win situation. Plus you’re never going to forgive yourself if you skip out on this chance.”

“Right,” Raquel said with new found devotion.

“Good. Whether your mom turns out good or bad though a road trip with your two best friends is always fun. Speaking of, you and Ryan finish packing the car. I’m going to borrow mom’s credit card so we can get a room.”

“You sure that’s a good idea?” Ryan asked concerned.

“Please,” Brittney said with a laugh. “If you knew how much money my mom had you’d blow a gasket. She’s not going to miss the $100 we spend on the motel we’re staying at.”

“If you say so,” Ryan said still not convinced. “If she asks though I didn’t have anything to do with it.”

“Don’t worry your innocence is secured.” With that Brittney hurried off to her mom’s room while Raquel followed Ryan as he carried the suitcase to his car.

Once outside Ryan popped his trunk and set the suitcase inside. He then grabbed Raquel’s package of diapers and placed it nearby.

“She’s not much, but she’ll get us there and back no problem,” Ryan said commenting on his car.

“I didn’t know you could drive,” Raquel said amazed.

“Oh yeah, I’ve had my license for a while. Got it early because mom can’t get around that well. She only recently got me my first car though. Definitely gets me around town faster than my old skateboard ever did.”

“You’re not losing your skater boy edge are you?” Raquel asked jokingly.

“Never. Once a skater always a skater,” Ryan said motioning to the skateboard still in the back seat of the car. “But something tells me you and Brit wouldn’t appreciate skateboarding all the way to North Carolina."

“Yeah I’ll take the car,” Raquel said giggling.

“We ready to go?” Brittney asked joining Raquel and Ryan outside, her mother’s credit card in her hand.

“Yup,” Ryan’s said lovingly tapping his car’s trunk. “Let’s hit the road, next stop our lovely northern neighbors.” Brittney hopped in the front with Ryan and Raquel made herself comfortable in the back.

“You need to change before we go Raquel?” Brittney asked.

“You just changed me,” Raquel snapped.

“Alright alright just checking. It’s a long ride and we aren’t going to be stopping a lot.”

“I’m fine mom,” Raquel said jokingly. Even if it was just a joke Raquel couldn’t help but feel like a child in the back seat with Brittney and Ryan playing mother and father. Raquel could recall a time when she would be more annoyed by this then she should have been. It didn’t bother her that much now though, partly because it was never something she got to experience that much growing up, and partly because she had begun to outgrow her immature desire to appear cool.

After a short drive they arrived at Ryan’s house. Raquel made a note in her mind that she hadn’t seen Ryan’s house before. The only thing she really knew about Ryan’s home life is that his mom was disabled. Beyond that he didn’t like talking about it. Looking at the house Raquel could guess why. It was small and not in a particularly good neighborhood. Probably because Ryan’s mom couldn’t work, so they didn’t have a lot of money to go around, though this never bothered Ryan that much at least as far as Raquel could tell. Ryan was only gone for a few minutes before coming back outside and throwing a backpack in the trunk. He got back in the driver’s seat.

“Alright back on the road,” Ryan said as Brittney hung herself lovingly on Ryan’s arm.

*****

After about 3 hours on the road Ryan pulled off the interstate at a gas station near the state line.

“Finally,” Brittney said stretching. She quickly got out of the car and made her way inside the gas station. Raquel could guess why, she had been holding it for almost an hour.

“I’ve got to pee too,” Ryan said confirming Raquel’s suspicion. “You mind pumping gas?” Ryan asked Raquel handing her the card.

“Go ahead,” Raquel took the credit card from Ryan and started pumping gas. Raquel took the time to check her own diaper. She was wearing a shorter skirt of Brittney’s, so she simply pressed the diaper against her self with her hand when she was sure no one was around. As expected her diaper was wet, almost to the point of leaking. Where Ryan and Brittney had been holding it for three hours, Raquel had been using her diaper and it was catching up with her.

Ryan was the first to return from inside.

“I’m going to change in the back seat ok,” Raquel said motioning for Ryan to finish pumping gas.

“Oh right,” Ryan said knowingly as Raquel opened the trunk. She struggled briefly with the unopened package of diapers before finally opening it and prying a diaper out of it. Brittney emerged from the store just in time to see Raquel triumphantly pull a diaper out.

“There’s a changing station inside if you’d rather,” Brittney suggested.

“Nah, I’m fine with the back seat. Less likely to have someone walk in on me, and a lot cleaner too.”

“Fair enough,” Brittney walked over to Ryan and started talking while Raquel opened one of the doors in the back seat, and laid down as she changed her diaper. Even though it was her doing the changing, Raquel’s earlier feeling of being the kid on a road trip was amplified. A diaper change in the back seat of a car seemed oddly quintessential to the road trip experience for her. Raquel couldn’t tell what, but Ryan and Brittney were discussing something that seemed rather serious from their expressions. Raquel decided not to get into, it was probably none of her business anyway. Raquel taped her new diaper on and threw the thoroughly used one in the nearby trash.

“Ready to hit the road again?” Ryan asked once Raquel was done changing herself.

“Let’s hit it.” Raquel said happily.

******

Another 2 hours on the road and they finally arrived at the motel they planned to stay it. It was in the same town as Raquel’s mother was living, a small quiet town in the middle of North Carolina. This was reflected in the motel which was fairly small, but well taken care of.

Ryan and Raquel waited while Brittney finished the paperwork that comes with renting a motel room. After what seemed like hours she emerged triumphantly holding the key to the room.

“It wasn’t easy, but I convinced him that I was actually over 21,” Brittney said with a smirk. “So we’re good to go.”

“Great,” Ryan said happily. “You girls go on inside I’ll grab the bags.”

Raquel and Brittney made their way to their room while Ryan moved the car closer. It was a modest room. Not very large with two twin double sized beds and an old tv, but it would do for the night. The plan was to only stay in it for one night, leaving the next morning after Raquel finally met her mother. Raquel carried her package of open diapers inside the room while Ryan grabbed the two pieces of luggage. When her suitcase was inside Brittney immediately got to work settling in. Ryan began relaxing on one of the beds, tried from the journey. Raquel decided to join him on the opposite bed, throwing off her skirt so she could lounge on the bed with just a shirt and diaper, maximum comfort level.

After Brittney had unpacked her essentials she too threw off her pants, and lounged on the bed with Ryan.

“Nothing’s quite as comfortable as a hotel bed after a long ride,” Brittney said sheepishly.

“If only they were this comfortable when you’re trying to sleep,” Raquel countered.

“I know right,” Ryan said in agreement. Raquel was glad that she had friends that accepted her enough that she didn’t have to worry about her diaper showing around them.

The three of them didn’t do a whole lot for what was left of the night. Ryan left briefly and returned with some fast food for everyone to enjoy, but aside from that they relaxed in the room watching tv, sarcastically commenting on the old movies that showed up on the few channels the tv had. Before long the three of them were getting ready for bed, and Ryan and Brittney began to grown anxious.

“Raquel,” Brittney hesitantly began. Raquel looked at her friend curiously. “Ryan and I were talking.” Brittney sat on the bed Raquel was laying on and scooted close to her. After a brief pause she placed a hand on Raquel’s thigh. Raquel immediately grew flustered at her friends flirtatious gesture, but didn’t stop her as she wasn't sure what Brittney was asking or how she should respond. “We were wondering if you wanted to have an uhh … threesome,” Brittney trailed off at the end embarrassed to say it. Raquel grew equally embarrassed, and her face grew a beet red and she fidgeted uncomfortably.

“You don’t have to,” Ryan added. “But we heard your fight with Kelsey, and honestly we’ve been wanting to ask you for a while. We thought now would be a good time.” Raquel didn’t know what to say. Her two best friends were looking at her in a way she wasn’t used to, but she’d be lying if she wasn’t interested in the idea. They were both her friends, and she’d known Ryan had wanted to be with her for as long as she knew him, but she couldn’t reciprocate because of her sexuality even if she had always wanted to. This seemed like the compromise she had been looking for. She’d also never particularly felt attracted to Brittney, but that was because she knew from the beginning that Brittney would never be more than a friend, but now that the opportunity presented itself Raquel was interested in the idea. And like they said the fight with Kelsey earlier that day left Raquel newly single.

“Ok,” Raquel said meekly. Ryan and Brittney’s faces lit up.

“This will be fun ok,” Brittney said anxiously. “Come here I brought something for you.” Brittney grabbed Raquel’s hands and led her to the bathroom and shut the door.

“What is it?” Raquel giggled nervously.

“It’s something I picked up earlier. I thought I overheard you saying one time that you thought they looked sexy on you.” Brittney gave Raquel a baby diaper. Raquel giggled a little. “Did I do good?”

“Yeah,” Raquel said biting her lip. Raquel was always frustrated that she could never make her adult diapers look sexy. She had to wear them though, lest there be a stain on the bed later. Baby diapers were a good compromise. She was small enough to wear them comfortably, but they were smaller, tighter and left less to the imagination. The only thing she would have to get past was the inevitably childish designs and appearance, and the fact that they were more likely to leak. These were no exception, and Raquel appreciated the thought and elected to wear them.

Brittney was dressing herself in some more revealing underwear while Raquel was lost in thought.

“There will be time to ogle over me later Raquel get changed,” Brittney said as she fluffed her hair out a little. “Here you can use this one,” she said handing Raquel a pastel pink bra with some matching bows. “I though you could go for an innocent look, so the diaper isn’t that distracting.”

“Thanks Brit,” Raquel said as she began changing into the baby diaper.

“No need to thank me. The show’s for me too remember.” Raquel and Brittney finished getting ready, both of the satisfied at how desirable they looked. “Here this will finish off the look,” Brittney wiped off one of her pacifiers and stuck it in Raquel’s mouth. Raquel innocently began sucking on it. Brittney then tied Raquel’s hair in pig tails with the pink bows. “Perfect.” The moment was finally catching up to Raquel and she was getting excited.

Brittney confidently opened the door of the bathroom and she and Raquel stepped out.

“Wow you guys look great,” Ryan said lustfully. Brittney hopped on the bed on top of one of Ryan’s legs, Raquel mimicked her by jumping on the other, the weight of the two of them kept Ryan motionless. Suddenly Brittney grabbed Raquel and began passionately kissing her, and Raquel was more than happy to return the favor. It was a bit of a shock to Raquel to see her friend whom she thought was straight jump into this headfirst. She was also equally surprised when the tables were turned on her, and Brittney pinned Raquel to the bed. Raquel began to instinctively struggle as Brittney sat on her chest holding her arms down.

“You still ok?” Brittney asked out of breathe. Raquel silently nodded. “Ok.” Brittney stuck the pacifier in Raquel’s mouth and scooted herself closer to Raquel’s face, and Raquel could feel Ryan moving closer.

Despite her excitement, suddenly all Raquel could think about was Kelsey. She couldn’t see anything but Kelsey’s smile, couldn’t hear anything but her laugh, and she was replaying moments with her in her head. A particular flashback played in Raquel’s head. She could see her and Kelsey awkwardly messing around in her closet before school, giggling all the way as neither of them were sure what to do.

“STOP STOP!!” Raquel yelled. Ryan and Brittney immediately changed moods and let Raquel sit up.

“Are you ok?” Ryan asked concerned.

“Yeah yeah sorry. I just …” Raquel was struggling. “I just can’t do this right now,” Raquel said getting off of the bed and putting on a shirt.

“Was it us?” Brittney asked sadly.

“No it’s not. It’s Kelsey. All I can think about is her. I’m sorry I ruined it for you guys. I was having fun but, maybe I just need more time.”

“Yeah sure,” Ryan said comfortingly. Raquel got dress in pajamas and went to sit outside by herself.

After a few minutes of Raquel waiting outside Brittney and Ryan joined her, both out of breathe as they seemingly continued on after Raquel left.

“You going to be alright?” Brittney asked peeking her head out of the hotel room. Raquel nodded as Brittney helped Raquel up and into the room.

“Sorry I ruined things for you guys.”

“Hey no big deal,” Ryan said happily. “It just wasn’t meant to be this time, but I think the offer is still on the table if you feel up to it later. Right?” Brittney nodded enthusiastically.

“What little of it we had was fun,” Brittney said happily. “I hope it doesn’t make things weird between us.”

“Only a little,” Raquel said lightening up.

“Well we’re going to go to bed,” Brittney said hugging Ryan.

“I’m going to stay up a little longer,” Raquel said tiredly. “You guys sleep tight.”

- - - Updated - - -

got another chapter for you guys. I think this one is pretty scene for scene in line with the original except for one exception. In the original Raquel went through with Brittney's offer for a threesome, and they all ended up hating each other afterwords. Brittney thought Ryan was suing her to get to Raquel, and Raquel felt like she was just an object to her friends, they all ended up having a falling out over it. I understand this was done mostly to set up the second book where Raquel moved to Emerald Beach academy, but even with that I always hated that it went down like that, it seemed like a really anti climactic way to end the relationship, and they all had fun during so it was weird to me that it caused them to have a falling out like it did, and in retrospect it was a very obvious way for Raquel to cut ties for the next book. I seriously considered not including it at all, but I thought I could spin it into something I like. Here it's meant to be more of them just messing around and not mean anything. One that Raquel didn't even go through with because she was still hung up on Kelsey. I also tried to keep it as vague as possible, the only thing I really wanted to get across was that Brittney knew Raquel well enough to know that she was self conscious about diapers not making her look attractive, and she cared enough to find a way to make Raquel feel attractive. Aside from that I didn't want to go in to it, trying to keep it pg-13, I think I did ok. At the very least it's 1980's pg-13. Still don't know if I'm really proud of it though, still feels to me like it kind of comes out of nowhere, but hey gave it a shot. Hope you guys enjoy it.

Content: Chapter 25

Sadie pulled her truck up to the front of Kelsey’s house. She sighed nervously. She really didn’t want to do this, but this was her best friend, so she deserved an explanation. Plus Sadie didn’t think she would sleep all that well knowing that she was the cause of Kelsey and Raquel’s break up.

Sadie hopped out of her truck and looked at herself in the rear view mirror. Sadie was wearing an outfit that she often wore before she started wearing diapers, one that was considerably risky now that she was wearing them. It was a short purple dress that fanned out slightly at the bottom. It was fairly short when she wore it back then, and she had grown a good bit since. Now it was even shorter. It actually wasn’t long enough to cover her diaper completely, a small but noticeable bit of white could be seen peeking out from the dress.

Sadie had picked this particular dress out on purpose. The whole reason she came here was to finally tell Kelsey the truth, that she wore diapers, and the only reason she and Raquel were hanging out last night was so that they could talk about it, and not to start a relationship behind Kelsey’s back. Sadie had the feeling, though, that she wouldn’t be able to tell Kelsey this. She’d lock up and not be able to get the entire explanation out. So her plan was to just lift her dress and show Kelsey, and hope that she could piece together what happened on her own. Sadie even doubted her ability to do that, thus the rather revealing dress. Sadie wouldn’t even have to lift her dress to show the diaper, Kelsey could just look, and hopefully she would have enough attention to detail to notice it.

Sadie knocked on the door. After a few noises inside from Kelsey’s footsteps Kelsey opened the door.

“Kelsey I …” Sadie began but before she could get much out Kelsey slammed the door angrily in her face. Sadie’s trepidation quickly turned to anger. “Kelsey!” Sadie yelled at the door angrily pounding on it. “Unbelievable,” Sadie huffed as she got her phone out and began calling Kelsey. “Kelsey!” Sadie said with a huff when the call connected. “Come down here now I need to talk to you.”

“Talk to me about how you stole my girlfriend!” Kelsey yelled.

“Yes,” Sadie began but she immediately regretted her wording. “I mean no, you know what I mean. Just come down here.” Sadie heard a click in response, which meant Kelsey had hung up on her. Sadie growled in anger standing on her toes and angrily throwing her arms to her side. She began angrily texting Kelsey. “Come down here now.” Sadie said as angrily as a text message would allow. This garnered no response from Kelsey though Sadie could tell the Kelsey had at least read the message. Sadie calmed down and composed herself to try a different approach.

“I’m pulling the bff card,” Sadie texted seriously. “We’ve been friends long enough, you owe it me to at least hear me out.” After a few awkward seconds Sadie received a response.

“Fine,” came Kelsey’s reply. Sadie couldn’t tell the tone of Kelsey’s tone from the text message so she had to wait patiently as she heard familiar shuffling from behind the door. Kelsey opened the door and crossed her arms expectantly. “Go ahead,” she said impatiently waiting for Sadie’s explanation. As Sadie predicted she clammed up immediately and couldn’t admit to the truth, instead screaming internally as every fiber of her being cried out to just tell Kelsey but her mouth was unable to do so. Fortunately Sadie also predicted her friend’s attention to detail, as Kelsey noticed a now familiar bit of white visible under Sadie’s dress after looking at her for a few seconds. “What are you wearing?” Kelsey asked in a mixture of anger and disbelief. “Turn around,” Kelsey commanded. Sadie meekly obeyed and spun around, from the back the diaper was more obvious. “Why are you wearing a diaper?” Kelsey said keeping her same confused and angry tone.

“I’ve been wearing them for a while,” Sadie said nervously her back still to Kelsey, “Not to long after school started.” Sadie continued lifting her dress up so Kelsey could see the whole thing. Kelsey had seen the brand before, it was one Raquel wore. It had a lot of cartoony designs on it and an overall childish look to it.

“Quit standing outside flashing everyone,” Kelsey said annoyed pulling Sadie into her house and shutting the door. “Now why exactly have you been wearing diapers? Did you have some kind of accident or something? Is it the same thing your sister has?”

“No,” Sadie replied embarrassed.

“No? Then why? Are you doing this just to make fun of me? Because if you are it’s weird and I don’t appreciate it.”

“I just like them,” Sadie finally said. “I like to wear them. They feel nice. They make me feel small and cute. Normally I only do it when I'm at home, but then mom found out. Long story short I'm wearing them full time. I’m sorry I should have told you after you saw me with Raquel.”

“Oh,” Kelsey said feeling awkward.

“We weren’t doing anything honestly. I just wanted someone else to talk to about it.”

“You could've talked to me,” Kelsey said sympathetically.

“Were it so easy.” Sadie answered. “You know how I get sometimes. I just clam up and can’t say anything. That’s why I never told you. I couldn’t ever get it out. I came over wearing this hoping you would just see it because I knew I wouldn’t be able to tell you.”

“Oh god!” Kelsey said coming to a realization. “So I had that big fight with Raquel …”

“Over nothing yeah,” Sadie said finishing Kelsey’s sentence. “I’m sorry I ruined it for you.”

“Stop whining about it you big baby,” Kelsey said delivering her usual loving insult. “Yeah you messed up, but your little diaper butt is going to help me smooth things over with her and that’ll make it up to me.”

“Fair enough,” Sadie said laughing. “And thanks for understanding.”

“Girl I’m about a million miles away from understanding you, but what kind of a friend would I be if I didn’t love you weird quirks and all. Sorry I got mad at you. If I had known.”

“Don't worry about it,” Sadie said hugging Kelsey. Kelsey dropped her sarcasm and hugged her back and the two shared a moment.

“You should put something else on though. You look like an overgrown toddler.”

“That’s usually the idea.”

“Ah now your recent wardrobe changes make sense,” Kelsey said coming to a realization. “We’ll stop by your house on the way.”

“On the way?” Sadie asked confused.

“To Raquel’s house,” Kelsey said anxiously. “I’ve got to win my girl back remember.”

*****

Raquel looked at herself in the mirror while Ryan and Brittney packed up to head back. The nervousness and anxiety of meeting her birth mother was catching up to Raquel and she was obsessing over her looks, making sure she looked perfect for her mother.

“Raquel you’re fine,” Brittney said knowing what Raquel was doing.

“Are you sure?” Raquel asked nervously. She turned around and looked at her back in the mirror. “My diaper isn’t showing is it? Raquel was wearing a one piece dress with a black top and pink skirt, the skirt trailed slightly past her knee completely hiding her diaper from any conceivable angle.

“Raquel, you need to try and calm down,” Brittney said reassuringly. “You are fine. You’re just nervous.” Raquel nodded in agreement. “Come on. We’ll go eat breakfast and then go see her.”

“Ok,” Raquel said still clearly nervous. Raquel heard her phone vibrate and she glanced at the screen. It was a text from Kelsey.

“I’m sorry babe I shouldn’t have gotten mad at you. I’m coming over to talk now pls forgive me .” Raquel was relieved that Kelsey had gotten over her misplaced anger at her. With everything on her mind though, she didn’t feel like dealing with Kelsey at the moment, and she was still somewhat mad at Kelsey for not believing her in the first place. Raquel decided that Kelsey could wait.

“Raquel you ready?” Ryan asked.

“Yeah,” Raquel said packing up the last of the make up quickly before getting in the car. Between Mr. Cooper who had been calling her since she had gotten back from the state competition and Kelsey, Raquel's phone was being nothing but distracting so she quickly put it on silent. Raquel was angry enough at both Cameron and Kelsey to not want to talk to them, though for very different reason admittedly. She knew she would forgive Kelsey eventually, just not today.

******

“You sure that was a good idea?” Kelsey asked Sadie as the two exited Sadie’s truck in front of the Cooper house.

“Totally,” Sadie said now in a significantly longer dress in a soft white. “You don’t want to call her before you’re at her house so a text is the right move. Plus you ended it in a winky face and who doesn’t like winky faces?”

“I guess you’re right,” Kelsey said as she knocked on the door. The door was answered quickly by a worried Jennifer Cooper.

“Kelsey,” Jennifer said quickly. “Have you seen Raquel lately?”

“She’s not here?” Kelsey asked with similar concern.

“I thought she was with you,” Jennifer said in a hushed tone. “Cameron tried calling her last night and she wouldn’t pick up her phone,” Jennifer said leaving the door way inviting the two girls in. “I thought she might just be staying an extra night at her friends because of the storm, but Cameron was worried and it’s not like her to not answer her phone.” Kelsey knew exactly why Raquel wasn’t answering, and it was because of Mr. Cooper’s infidelity as well as the fact that he just wasn’t pleasant to be around. Kelsey guessed correctly that Raquel had blocked phone calls after Cameron had tried calling her so any calls from Jennifer didn’t get through either, and unfortunately she would just have to wait until Raquel decided she wanted to talk again.

“I’m sure she’s fine Mrs. Cooper,” Kelsey said calmingly. I’m sure she and Brittney are just off hanging out somewhere.

“You’re probably right,” Jennifer said though she still looked worried. “Cameron went out late last night, he said he knew exactly where she was going, and I haven’t heard back from him either. I hope they are both ok. Cameron’s attitude has a knack for getting him in trouble.” Kelsey was troubled by the knowledge that Cameron somehow knew exactly where Raquel was going, but seeing as she didn’t know where exactly that was she couldn’t really do anything.

“We can just wait here for them to get back ok,” Kelsey said putting her hand around Jennifer’s shoulders. “Why don’t we stay and help out with the twins?” Jennifer nodded and shuffled off to the kitchen to make her a calming snack. Sadie followed nervously not sure of what to do.

- - - Updated - - -

Here's the next chapter. I wanted this one to be a brief meanwhile kind of chapter, that sets up some stuff that's going to happen later. One of the big changes in this chapter is that Sadie finally tells Kelsey about her liking diapers. This was something that was never done in Abby's Diapers or Raquel's Wish back in the day, even though I'm pretty sure me and emly both wanted to do it. I can't speak for emly but for me I was a little scared to write this scene because Kelsey wasn't my character and I didn't want to write her in a way that emly would disapprove of, and I assume that she felt the same. I feel fine doing it now not so much because it's my version of things, but more because I feel like I've gotten better as a writer. I plan on touching this reveal more in the next chapter, here it's just introduced and Kelsey was just so happy that her fight with Raquel was over nothing and they can get back together that she really didn't feel like questioning Sadie too much about it. Additionally they've been close friends for a long time so of course neither of them would let something like that get in the way. Regardless though the next chapter will address that some more so look forward to that. Also Saide's line "Were it so easy" is my ongoing thing where I put a line from Halo somewhere in my stories. Hope you guys enjoy it.

Content: Chapter 26

Sadie and Kelsey had just put on a cartoon for the twins, taking a bit of a break from entertaining them for the past few hours while Jennifer was busy worrying about Raquel and Cameron.

“So?” Kelsey asked after she was sure the twins were sufficiently distracted with the movie they were watching.

“Here we go,” Sadie said mildly annoyed. “Do we have to do this now?”

“No,” Kelsey answered honestly. “But it’ll distract me from worrying about Raquel.”

“Fine,” Sadie said defeated.

“So what exactly is it?” Kelsey asked abruptly. “Is it like a fetish or something?”

“Yeah,” Sadie answered bashfully. “But don’t call it that. It makes me feel weird.”

“It’s ok to have a fetish Sadie. We’re all a little bit kinky,” Kelsey said reassuringly.

“I know that!” Sadie said defensively.

“Then don’t be so upset about it. We’re all friends here we can be honest about it.”

“Ok ok. It’s me. Honest Sadie. All out in the open.” Kelsey giggled.

“Sadie you’re all flustered.” Sadie pouted and blushed. “So is it like a sexual thing or not?”

“No,” Sadie answered quickly, this line of questioning not helping her be any less embarrassed. “It’s not sexual. I don’t know how to describe it. It just helps me calm down. It makes me feel soft and quiet not … excited.”

“Interesting,” Kelsey mused. Kelsey and Sadie were quiet for a while. “Sadie,” Kelsey began seriously. “I don’t want you to take this the wrong way.” Sadie grew a little nervous. “Do you like it when you’re babied?”

“Yeah,” Sadie answered quietly. “Like I said it makes me feel safe and soft.”

“So like when people take care of you, change your diaper and stuff?”

“Yeah,” Sadie answered. “Change my diaper, feed me from bottles, give me toys,” Sadie said beginning to loose herself to a flight of fancy before she snapped out of it. “You know things like that.”

“If I could do that for you, would you have gone out with me?”

“Kelsey!” Sadie said worried.

“It’s purely hypothetical,” Kelsey said quickly. “I know you’ve already said no more than once, so I’m not asking again. I just want to know. If I could do that for you would you have said yes.” Sadie looked down at the ground a little ashamed.

“Yes,” Sadie answered quietly. “I would have said yes. I would have done everything to make it work too. Despite how much I wouldn’t have wanted it.” Kelsey was quiet for a moment.

“You wouldn’t have liked it?” Kelsey asked. Sadie shook her head.

“It wouldn’t be your fault Kelsey. I just don’t like girls that way.”

“Right,” Kelsey said understanding. “I know the relationship part of it wouldn’t work for you, but if it was just the babying part.”

“If you were just my mommy?” Sadie said giving Kelsey the term.

“Yeah I guess.”

“Kelsey, for a while I was just desperate to express this part of me. I didn’t have any outlet for it. I had to do it in secret. I just had a pacifier and whatever diapers my sister would give. I was always paranoid that someone would find out, and that people would think I was weird. I was so worried that it was somehow bleeding out into who I was normally, that people could tell by looking at me you know. I was so desperate just to let that part of me out without being judged, that I would have said yes to anyone.”

“Even if they were doing it to take advantage of you?”

“Yeah,” Sadie said sadly.

“That’s a scary thought, but I think I understand where you’re coming from. It sucks having to hide a part of yourself like that. It can make you do stupid stuff.” Sadie suddenly rested her head on Kelsey’s shoulder when she finished talking.

“If it helps, you probably would have made a good mommy,” Sadie said with a sigh.

“You think so?” Kelsey asked intrigued. Sadie nodded with her head still on Kelsey’s shoulder.

“You care about me. That’s all that really matters. Well that and I’d rather you want to be a mommy too. I wouldn’t want it to be one sided,” Sadie said with a chuckle.

“I don’t know,” Kelsey said pondering. “It’s not a totally unappealing thought. Taking care of an overgrown baby.”

“It’s more than just changing diapers you know,” Sadie said seriously. “I know Raquel lets you change hers, and that’s great, but having a little is a lot more than that. We’re emotional, and we’re constantly having mood swings and wanting attention and needing affection.”

“You’re an overgrown kid,” Kelsey said summing up her friends point. “A kid that’s also an adult and has adult needs. It would be a lot of work, but for someone that I really care about I’d do it. It might even be fun. You get all the fun games of a kid and then an adult to talk about all your problems with later.”

“Best and worst of both worlds,” Sadie said giggling. Kelsey joined in with her and the two started laughing. “Well now I feel bad. It sounds like letting you be my mommy would have been great. I guess I missed out.”

“Hindsight’s 20-20 eh?” Kelsey said letting Sadie know there wasn’t any hard feelings about it.

“Kelsey,” Sadie said seriously. "Would it be ok if I acted little around you? You don’t have to say yes if you don’t want to. And I don’t want to come between you and Raquel. And it’s not me asking you to be my mommy," Sadie started talking faster and faster loosing herself in worry.

“Shush,” Kelsey said quieting her friend. “You don’t have to hide yourself around me ok, I don’t want you to if it bothers you that much. And I’ll talk to Raquel about it when she gets back, but I’m sure she won’t mind either. Be as little as you want to be. You’re my best friend, and I’ll support you.” Sadie was growing teary eyed as the fear of being rejected by her friend completely faded away. “I don’t mind keeping an extra eye on you.”

“You don’t have to do that part of it if you don’t want to,” Sadie said. “I may act like a kid but I can take care of myself.”

“I know you can,” Kelsey stated. “I just don’t want you holding back because of me anymore.”

“I think I can do that,” Sadie said giggling.

Jennifer stood nervously around the corner. She knew that she probably wasn’t supposed to hear as much of that conversation as she did, but she became too engrossed in it to leave. Now she was stuck silently waiting behind the wall, not wanting to go out and ruin the girls moment with her snooping. Fortunately they seemed to be done talking and were just enjoying a quiet moment. She waited long enough that she wouldn’t appear suspicious and then revealed herself.

“Thanks for watching the twins girls,” Jennifer said as if she didn’t overhear them. “I ordered us all some pizza, if you guys don’t mind could you go pick it up.”

“Sure thing Mrs. Cooper,” Kelsey said cheerfully. She and Sadie quickly got up and made their way to Sadie’s truck.

******

Ryan pulled the car to a stop behind some bushes. After making a few rounds around the block the group confirmed that this was the house of Cynthia Blackwell, the alternate identity that Raquel’s mother was using. It was a fairly large sized house on a nice property. It wasn’t quite a mansion, but was comparable in size to the Cheng’s house, and they spotted two or three servants working from the road so she wasn’t hurting for money.

“Well this is it,” Brittney said turning around to face Raquel who was struggling to maintain composure in the back seat.

“Let’s just leave,” Raquel said nervously.

“Hell no,” Ryan said seriously. “We drove all this way, and I’m not going to let you pass this up." Raquel took in a breathe.

“Ok,” She said psyching herself up. “I’m ready.”

“That’s the spirit,” Brittney said encouraging. “We’ll wait out here. You go introduce yourself. Call me if you get uncomfortable and we’ll see about getting you out.”

“Ok.”

“After you two get acquainted send me a text, I’d like to meet her too, but I’m not going to spoil the moment between you and your mom.”

“Right. Wish me luck.” With one final wave Raquel left the car and made her way to the front door of the house. Despite the large estate and the few servants she’d seen security seemed to be pretty light, at least as far as she could tell. Once she arrived at the door Raquel gingerly rang the doorbell and heard it echo from inside the house. It wasn’t long before the door was answered by a stereotypical looking servant. He was an older slim gentlemen with grey hair and a serious mustache. He wore a black and white tuxedo without a coat and a small white apron that covered his pants.

“May I help you miss?” He said in a slightly condescending tone.

“Yes,” Raquel said intimidated but still determined. “I’m here to see Cynthia Blackwell.”

“I’m sorry but lady Blackwell isn’t expecting any company today. Perhaps I could make you an appointment.”

“No you don’t understand I’m her daughter.”

“Miss Blackwell doesn’t have any daughters, I’m sure you’re mistaken.”

“I am her daughter,” Raquel said seriously. “I’m Raquel Hernandez, and she is my mother Carmen Hernandez. My father is Miguel Hernandez.”

“Where did you hear that name?” The servant asked seriously. Raquel didn’t answer and just shifted around nervously. “Wait here,” The servant said shutting the door on Raquel. The door was quickly reopened by a female servant, wearing a similar dress to the male servant except more feminine, with a long dress instead of pants and a black headband.

“Uhhh,” The servant began awkwardly. “I’m really sorry about this miss, but Lady Blackwell has asked us to ask you to uhhh … lift your skirt.”

“What?” Raquel asked shocked.

“Miss Blackwell had instructed me to ask you to lift your skirt to prove that you’re her daughter like you say you are. She says that will prove it without a doubt to her.”

“Oh,” Raquel said with a sigh. “The diapers right?” Raquel asked embarrassed as she lifted her skirt letting the servant see her diaper. “See there it is. That’s what you wanted to see right?” The servant nodded and Raquel quickly dropped her skirt back down.

“This way please,” The servant said inviting Raquel inside. “So sorry about that. The Miss can be very peculiar sometimes, but despite how invasive it was I suppose it makes sense.”

“What do you mean?” Raquel asked.

“Oh nothing,” the servant said quickly. “This way please.” The servant led Raquel up the stairs in the foyer and down another hallway. The house was very dark in color. The floors and ceiling were made of a dark wood and all of the furniture was black or dark red, combined with the dim lighting and some rather interesting choices in wall decor, different animal skulls and some fairly violent art, gave the whole house an intimidating vibe. The servant motioned for Raquel to wait outside a door as she stepped in. After a few seconds she came back out. “Miss Blackwell will see you now,” She said courteously. She opened the door fully and motioned for Raquel to enter what was either a study or office.

It was a medium sized room. The biggest feature was a large window that took up the entirety of one of the exterior walls. It looked out onto a lake and a small garden and was the major source of light for the room. The rest of the room was decorated similar to the other parts of the house, though Raquel noticed that the colors in here were a little lighter and it was overall more inviting. The numerous amounts of filing cabinets, safes, and groups of large bills from different countries laying around still left Raquel a little on edge.

Standing in front of the window with her back turned was Cynthia Blackwell, or Carmen Hernandez, or whatever she choose to call herself. She was wearing a black dress with red accents, one that Raquel would describe as cute, not fitting the rest of the room or the house at all. It was accented with white lace, and had a large red bow on the back where the bodice of the dress fanned out into the skirt as well as several smaller red bows on the sleeves and around the waist line. Raquel felt under dressed. She was wearing just a simple white shirt with a long pink skirt. She was also fairly short, not more than one inch taller than Raquel, her jet black hair looked eerily similar to Raquel’s. After a few seconds she turned around.

“Well I guess I can’t deny you can I?” She said to Raquel with a smile. Indeed the resemblance between the two was uncanny. Raquel was speechless. “I know it must be hard for you. After all these years.” She approached Raquel and then abruptly hugged her. “I’ve missed you mija. What happened to you?”

“I don’t know,” Raquel admitted. “I was hoping you could tell me. All I remember was one night I was with dad at a hotel, we thought you were dead.”

“Well no need to worry about that,” Carmen said happily stopping Raquel before she got through the rest of her story. “I’m very much alive and very happy to see you. You were probably traumatized and don’t remember anything. No child should have to see what you saw and I’m sorry you had to see it.”

“Well,” Raquel said shuffling. “I’ve come all this way and it’s been so long, I don’t know what to say.”

“It’s ok darling,” Carmen said lovingly. “We’ve got plenty of time to catch up. Let’s start with some small talk. I’m sure you’d like to know why I had Cindy there lift your skirt.”

“I assume it has to do with the diapers,” Raquel said embarrassed. She had gotten used to telling others about her condition at this point, but somehow telling it to her birth mother made her feel disappointed in herself. Carmen apparently picked up on this through the tone in her voice.

“Yes it is,” Carmen said as she lifted her dress to reveal a pink diaper with a flowery pattern adorning the front of it. “It’s the curse of the family some say. All the women in our family have the same problem. None of us have ever mastered potty training no matter how much some of us have tried. I remember your grandmother would tell me stories about her trying into her twenties before she gave up. Me and you though, we never even tried,” Carmen said laughing.

“Wow,” Raquel said amazed. “I never knew. So everyone in our family has this problem?”

“All the women anyway,” Carmen said happily. “Some of us are lucky enough to have people to help with the diapers, ain’t that right Cindy.” Cindy bowed professionally.

“Of course miss. You know I will change your diapers anytime.”

“And you do a good job too, that’s why I pay you the big bucks.” This garnered a somewhat nervous laugh from Cindy.

“Of course miss. And I would be happy to help change you too little miss if you require it.”

“Wow!” Raquel said impressed. “You seem to have done well for yourself.”

“Of course,” Carmen said. “You know as much trouble as the diapers are they have their uses.”

“What do you mean?” Raquel asked curiously.

“Well mija. You know people always seem to underestimate us. The diapers, our height, our everything. We just don’t look threatening.”

“Yeah,” Raquel said confused. “And.”

“Well with everyone underestimating us it's pretty easy to use them to our advantage. Everyone just loves to help out the poor innocent girl in diapers don’t they?”

“I suppose,” Raquel said getting a weird vibe from the way this conversation was turning.

“Oh I’m sorry,” Carmen said happily. “That came out wrong. You know I’m just doing what I have to. It’s hard for women to advance in our business, especially women with our condition.”

“What business is that?” Raquel asked concerned. She was suddenly reminded of her father who admitted to being in the drug trade. Carmen gave a quieter chuckle than usual.

“Listen Raquel,” Carmen said seriously. “I know it seems strange to you now, but this game. We were born for it. Hell we were bred for it. Generation after generation the women of our family have pushed their way to the top of the cartels on the backs of men. We’re the brains behind their brawn, they help us get to where we need to, but in the end they are just pawns to serve us.”

“So dad was just another pawn to you. And you dumped him whenever you didn’t need him anymore.” Raquel said sadly.

“I know it sounds horrible,” Carmen said sweetly. “But you have to remember that these men, your father included, had chosen to be in this themselves, and would kill people and sell drugs without us. If they were going to do it anyway why shouldn’t we use them to rise above our station on the way?” Raquel did not seem convinced. “You know for generations we have been bred to do this. It was our duty to pick a man with the right genes to pass on to our daughters. That means, that as good as I am at this, you could be even better with some time. This is your destiny, it's out family's destiny. Of course you'll have plenty of time to see that when you move in.”

“That’s not what I came here for,” Raquel said slightly scared. “I’m sorry but I already have a family. I just wanted to see you. I didn’t mean to come here and live with you.” Carmen’s face changed to a sour expression before it returned to its usual perky expression.

“I haven’t convinced you have I?” Carmen said cheerfully.

“I wouldn’t say that,” Raquel said becoming anxious and wanting to leave.

“Cindy here!” Carmen commanded. Cindy’s happy expression grew serious and scared as she hurried over to Carmen’s side. She sat on her knees and bowed her head in an effort to make herself smaller than Carmen. Carmen then grabbed what Raquel assumed was a necklace until this point, but was actually a metal chain that had been run into her dress, it was attached to what at first appeared to be a part of the necklace but was actually a metal collar adorned with black lace for decoration. Cindy visibly jumped as Carmen grabbed the chain and seemed terrified. “You know Cindy here, funny story actually, she is actually the daughter of a very powerful cartel drug lord believe it or not. One of my biggest rivals actually. Aren’t you sweetie?”

“Yes ma’am,” Cindy answered quickly.

“Cute ain’t she?” At this point Raquel was too terrified to respond. She wasn’t sure what she expected from her birth mother, but it wasn’t this. The look of genuine terror on Cindy’s face was more than enough to tell Raquel that what she was seeing was real. “Needless to say as long as she's here her father won't be making any moves against me. See her collar here,” Carmen continued casually as she grabbed inside the collar and roughly dragged Cindy closer to her. “It's actually tied to an underground fence, she can’t go more than 5 feet out of the house without getting zapped.” Carmen violently threw Cindy to the floor, but Cindy quickly got up and returned to Carmen’s side. “Boy that was a fun week training her to know her boundaries wasn’t it Cindy?”

“Yes ma’am,” Cindy said sobbing.

“What did I tell you about crying?” Carmen said threateningly. Cindy did her best to stop crying. “Good girl,” Carmen said giving Cindy pats on her head. “See here is the daughter of one of my biggest enemies, and I’ve trained her to change my dirty diapers,” Carmen said giggling. “Among other things.” Carmen approached Raquel holding the chain, with Cindy crawling behind her when the chain became taught. Carmen handed the end of the chain to Raquel who took it out of fear. “This kind of power, this absolute control is what we strive for Raquel. And let me tell you there is no greater feeling then when you finally have it,” Carmen said licking her lips as she finished. “Ah but I’m getting ahead of myself. I’m not going to force you to stay with me, but at least spend a few nights here, get a taste of the lifestyle before you decide against it.” Raquel looked at Cindy who had obediently crawled and sat by Raquel’s leg, trying her best to keep her composure. Carmen wasn’t paying attention she was too busy relishing in the humiliation of her enemy. "All of this could be yours if yours if you let me show you the way."

“I’ll think about it,” Raquel said as calmly as possible. In truth she was concerned about her own safety, and Carmen seemed to be pleasant to her as long as Raquel at least entertained the idea of staying with her. Though Raquel had no intention of doing so. A look at the girl quivering at her feet was enough to remind Raquel that her birth mother was completely insane, and power hungry didn’t even begin to describe her.

“That’s good to hear,” Carmen said happily. “You’ll see. It’ll come naturally to you with enough time. Cindy!” At the sound of her name the girl obediently shot up.

“Yes ma’am,” Cindy said in terror.

“You belong to Raquel for the weekend. Do whatever she tells you to, and don’t let me find out you were holding back on her.”

“I will make myself available fully and completely to her ma’am.”

“Good girl. Now show her to the guest room on the east wing.” Cindy bowed and began walking toward the door. “Please walk with me young master, and I will show you to your room,” Cindy said politely to Raquel, though Raquel could tell she was eager to get away from Carmen. “If I am walking to fast for you do not be afraid to pull on my lead.”

“Play nice you two,” Carmen said with a grin. “And try not to break my favorite toy Raquel.” Raquel put up a fake grin as Raquel followed Cindy out of the room still holding on to the end of the lead.

Cindy quickly lead Raquel to a bedroom in the opposite wing of the house, on that was decorated with more lively furniture and colors. Once they were inside the room Raquel shut the door and immediately got her phone out. Either Carmen didn’t think about it, or more likely was too wrapped up in herself to remember that Raquel would likely have a cell phone. Raquel busily began texting away to Brittney urging her to leave quickly.

“There are several receptacles on the wall which you can attach my lead to with a lock,” Cindy began struggling to maintain a professional tone. “I assure you that any and all needs that you have …”

“Hush Cindy please!” Raquel said nervously. She was vague in her message to her friend but hoped she had understood it enough to leave immediately. Raquel’s prayers were answered when she saw Ryan’s car drive away. Raquel looked back to Cindy now that her friends were safe to find the girl kneeling on the ground with her head down. “Sorry Cindy I didn’t mean it like that,” Raquel said calmly. “Please don’t be afraid of me, I’m not going to do anything to you.” Cindy seemed unconvinced.

“Please do not tease me young master,” She said starting to cry again. Raquel hugged the girl tightly.

“I’m here for you girl let it out,” Raquel whispered quietly. Not able to keep her composure any longer Cindy cried several years of tears out on to Raquel’s shoulders, even with this release of bottled emotion though she was careful to do it quietly so nobody else would hear her. “Are the other servant’s like you?” Raquel could feel Cindy nod no.

“The others all work for her,” Cindy began. “They just dress like that to avoid suspicion. My sister was here, but she was given away to someone else. God I don’t even know how many days it’s been since then.” Cindy suddenly stopped crying and grabbed Raquel’s shoulders. “You have to get out of here!” Cindy said in a panic. “She’s insane.”

“You don’t have to tell me that,” Raquel said comfortingly. “I can’t believe I came from that woman. Regardless I don’t intend to stay and I don’t intend for you to stay either.” Cindy shook her head no in defeat.

“No leave me. I can’t escape. Every time I’ve tried it just gets worse for me. Leave me here. I’ll be fine. It’s not so bad on the days when she’s in a good mood.”

“I’m calling the cops,” Raquel said getting her phone back out.

“You think they don’t know,” Cindy said desperately. “They do. It was the cops that gave her this house to begin with, and to them she’s the model citizen. Thanks to all those donations to the police ball.” Raquel slowly put her phone away. The girl spoke as if she had already tried that once before and it didn’t work out well.

“Well on the bright side I’ve got you for the weekend at least, and I’m not going to do any of that to you.”

“Thank you,” Cindy said gratefully. “You have to keep acting like you’re interested in her offer ok. If anyone asks you have to tell them that I …”

“I understand,” Raquel said seriously cutting Cindy off before she could finish. “We’ll get through this. And I promise you, even if I leave without you, I’ll come back for you.” Cindy bowed her head. Though Raquel could tell she didn’t believe the later part of her statement, it seemed to be enough for Cindy that Raquel would escape at the least.

Here's the next chapter you guys, and since we're getting close to the end you're going to start seeing a lot more original content from here to the end. For example this whole chapter is original content. I also feel like I should explain some things. Firstly the ending of the scene with Kelsey and Sadie is not implying that Kelsey is going to be a mommy to Sadie, only that Sadie can act little around Kelsey if she wants to. It's more of Kelsey being worried about her friend hiding that part of her. I don't know how well I got that across in my writing so I'm explaining it here. This story isn't likely to go into that dynamic, but it's likely that Sadie wouldn't even be little around Kelsey that often, it's just she doesn't have to stop herself because Kelsey is around. Also worth noting that I based a lot of Sadie in this scene on myself. Actually in general I base a lot of Sadie on myself as I realized after rereading Abby's Diapers again recently. So that conversation is one I've often had with myself (in my head not out loud just fyi) so it comes from a pretty genuine place. Secondly a lot of you are probably raising your hands saying I'm showing my bdsm side with new character Cindy. And you're not entirely wrong, but that's not what I'm trying to do. She's legitimately only there to prove how insane and power hungry Carmen is. The original would likely have revealed this over a slow burn in the second book, at least I think so. From the little bit we see of Carmen in the original she seems nice, and cute enough to win over the affection of two men at once, but we get hints that she's not all what she seems. At the end of the day she's a Colombian drug lord, usually not the most stable people. I don't have as much time to set this up as the original was going to, so I needed some wow moment where Raquel finally sees past the facade she puts on and realizes the truth, and that's what Cindy is there for. It's the young girl hostage trope you see in a lot of action movies. Just trying to alleviate some concerns I know some of you are having. I'm not trying to take the story in that direction. Anyways hope you guys enjoy it.

It's good, but not really very believable. I mean Raquel has not seen her mom in practically a lifetime, shows up entirely without warning, and Mom is automatically opening up about the biggest and darkest secrets of her business and life? Without knowing anything at all about the person this girl has grown to be? (Terrible move as it turns out, and predictably so.) This comes from rushing the plot. I liked the Kelsey/Sadie scene though.

[End of quote]

That's fair. I'm not going to pretend I'm having to introduce Carmen's character rather quickly. There is a reason she's as open as she is though, maybe one I should have touched on more. To her there never existed any alternative for her than being a drug lord. She mentioned that she was born and bred for it, that it was her destiny. She means it as literally as possible, and she thinks the same way for Raquel. She's her daughter, of course she's going to want to follow in her footsteps she bred herself for that purpose. The idea that Raquel wouldn't want to follow in her footsteps doesn't exist in her mind.

Content: Chapter 27

Cindy had given Raquel a rather uneasy tour of Carmen’s house. Judging by the looks of Carmen’s men, none of them trusted Raquel nearly as much as Carmen did, but were too scared to say anything about it. Despite her small size and cutesy demeanor, Carmen was apparently someone to be afraid of. Raquel only caught glimpses of this side of her, but she could believe that it consumed more of Carmen’s personality than she let on.

Cindy concluded the tour by leading Raquel to a small sun room, which offered a view of the lake similar to the view from Carmen’s office. Raquel shut the door as she and Cindy entered the room, thankful for the moment away from all of prying eyes and not wishing to be disturbed. After a brief moment of silence she felt her phone vibrate. Raquel had forgotten that she had her phone on her, dejected by the thought that the police wouldn’t be able to help her she had pushed it's existence entirely out of her mind. A glance at the caller I.D. told her that she was being called by none other than Cameron Cooper. If ever there was a person that could make Raquel entertain the thought of living with Carmen it would have been Cameron Cooper. Raquel couldn’t be picky, however. Cameron wasn’t a cop, but he was a leading prosecuting attorney, he might be able to help her out. Raquel motioned for Cindy to stay quiet and she answered the phone.

“Cameron,” Raquel answered professionally.

“3 O’ clock behind the bushes,” Cameron answered quietly.

“What?” Raquel asked confused. It took her a second to realize he was telling where to look, and after squinting her eyes she spied Cameron behind some bushes next to the house. “What are you doing here?”

“Thought you would be a little happier to see me,” Cameron said gruffly.

“I’m about as happy to see you as I can be,” Raquel answered honestly. “How did you know I was here?”

“Find my phone app,” Cameron answered quickly. “Plus I had a hunch you would end up here eventually. I was trying to call you and explain things to you before you ever got this far, but you appear to have blocked my number.”

“You’ve had years to explain this to me Cameron, don't make excuses.”

“We can talk about that later. Tell me, have you seen a girl about your age by the name of Cindy Montoya?”

“Wait you aren’t even here to get me out?” Raquel accused angrily. “You’re here for Cindy?”

"No," Cameron said seriously, "I did come here for you. Your mother, however, has made that complicated. She’s announced to the criminal underworld at large that her long forgotten heir has returned.”

“Wish I could be as excited about it as she is,” Raquel said sarcastically.

“Well the other drug lords aren’t happy about it. Suffice it to say that even if you were to escape you’d be dead as soon as you went into any town. I’ve made a deal to prevent that from happening.”

“Explain.”

“It’s easy, Mr. Montoya would like his daughter back, and the criminal underworld at large wants your mother dead. In exchange for both of those you are free to live.”

“Fun times,” Raquel said plainly. “Well you’re not going to hear me complain about either of those.”

“Didn’t think so. Fortunately for me your friends stumbled upon a blind spot in her security that got me this close, but I can’t get inside without setting off an alarm or getting shot to pieces, and Cindy isn’t going to leave with the underground fence still on.”

“Well what do you want me to do?”

“You need to find her security room and flip the main breaker. That should shut everything off.”

“I don’t know where her security room is,” Raquel said exasperated.

“I do,” Cindy answered meekly. “I know where it is.”

“Good,” Cameron said overhearing Cindy. “And I’m glad that you found Cindy too. I’ll wait out here, don’t call me I might have to move and lay low. When her security is down find somewhere safe to stay put I’ll come get you.” With that Cameron abruptly hung up.

“Who was that?” Cindy said excitedly. “Is someone coming to get you?”

“And you too,” Raquel said happily “That was Cameron Cooper.”

“Cameron Cooper?” Cindy asked confused. “Why is he helping us?”

“You know him?” Raquel asked surprised.

“Isn’t he mistress’s lawyer?”

“That’s news to me,” Raquel said with intrigue. “He’s my foster father, not a very good one either.”

“That doesn’t make sense,” Cindy said confused. “He works for mistress. Why wouldn’t he have brought you to her sooner?”

“We can ask him when we leave,” Raquel said focusing. “Where’s the security room?”

“First floor under the stairs,” Cindy said quickly. “But the guards won’t let anyone inside.”

“They may make an exception for Carmen Hernandez’s daughter. I just have to act like her and they’ll let me in. And I can act like her right?”

“I’m not sure what the polite response to that question is,” Cindy answered nervously. “I do know that the guards will do anything mistress says. They’re terrified of her. If you can pull it off it could work.”

“I like that confidence Cindy.”

Raquel followed Cindy down the stairs in the foyer. Sure enough there was a small door in the wall underneath the staircase, in a nook of the room you wouldn’t see if you weren’t looking for it. There was a lone guard sitting on a stool outside the room. Raquel prepared herself mentally and grabbed Cindy’s lead, pulling it taught.

“I need you to help sell this Cindy,” Raquel said apologetically. Cindy nodded her head in understanding.

“If it makes you feel better I’d much rather be acting it then actually doing it,” Cindy said optimistically. Raquel donned a stern demeanor and Cindy a meek one. Raquel marched up to the door of the security room sternly, Cindy following behind attempting to be stiff and proper. Raquel got all the way to the door before the guard stopped her.

“I’m sorry miss. Boss’s orders nobody is allowed inside cept for the tech.”

“Perfect,” Raquel said happily but sternly. “I’ve been looking all over for a private room to try out the new toy,” She said jerking Cindy’s lead forcing her to stumble closer to Raquel before quickly regaining her composure.

“I’m sorry miss, but you’ll have to find somewhere else to have your fun. I would suggest the barracks, it gets boring out here and we could use a good show,” The man said snickering. Raquel let out a small fake laugh.

“I’m afraid I insist. I need somewhere quiet where we won't be disturbed. Maybe I should ask my mother where a good place would be. I’m sure she would agree with me,” Raquel said more threateningly.

“Either she kills me for letting you in, or she kills me for not letting you in,” The guard said calling Raquel's. “At least if you have to go run and get her I’ll be alive for a little longer.” The man said giving the same cheesy laugh he did earlier.

“Not as long as you might think,” Said Carmen emerging from the shadows behind one of the stairs like a wraith. Raquel and the guard both lost their composure as she approached.

“Boss,” the guard said begging. “You said no one was allowed inside except you and the tech. I was only following your orders.” Carmen moved in a flash and slammed her fist on the wall beside the guard angrily.

“That was before I had my daughter back idiot,” Carmen screeched hunching her back at an abnormal angle. “Listen to me you worm. Nothing less than royal blood flows through my girls veins, and you will treat her like royalty, or I will put your head on a spike like a real mad queen. Is that clear?”

“y-y-yes boss,” the guard said now in tears.

“Good,” Carmen said in a cheery voice, the polar opposite of the one she had donned not two seconds earlier. “I can’t be too mad at you. You were only following orders. Why don’t you take the rest of the day off,” Carmen said patting the guard lovingly on the shoulder. The guard quickly took the opportunity to run away. “I’ve been looking all over for you two,” Carmen said plainly. “I was hoping to borrow Cindy from you for a little bit. I could use a diaper change. I’m surprised to see you down here though.”

“The little mistress was concerned about the cameras in the guest bedroom,” Cindy spoke up politely. “She didn’t want there to be an unknown audience while she had her way with me.”

“And tell me, how did she know there were cameras in the guest bedroom?” Cindy froze up with fear as Carmen looked at her giving an all too familiar look.

“I asked,” Raquel said speaking up. “I figured you had them. I just wasn’t sure where.”

“Smart girl,” Carmen praised. “You’re right I do keep cameras going all of the time. Helps me keep an eye on everything. I have them in my room too, and that’s never stopped me. Though I suppose you’ll have to grow out of that shyness. At least let me show you how it all works before you two have at it and mess the whole room up,” Carmen said coyly opening the door. The slightly obese man watching the camera feeds turned around as Carmen opened the door.

“Ma’am?” He asked politely.

“Steve we need the room,” Carmen commanded.

“10-4. Needed a smoke break anyway,” Steve said making his way out of the small room shutting the door as he left.

“Well it’s all pretty self-explanatory, but cool none the less,” Carmen said gesturing to the wall of screens. “You’ve got every room in the house recorded except for this one, over here on the left that’s a map matching each of the rooms with a camera number, and over on the right you’ve got a power monitor it’s got the main line status as well as stats on the two backup generators. You know I’ve had the power cut to this place no less than 5 times. My rivals tend to forget the existence of backup generators. Oh and Cindy you’ll get a kick out of this, see that red line around the house, that’s the underground fence line. I could have showed you that earlier I guess, but I think learning it the hard way is better don’t you?”

“You can’t deny the success of your training methods mistress,” Cindy said swallowing most of her pride as she did.

“You’re still a work in progress, but we’re getting there,” Carmen said giving Cindy backhanded praise.

“So people can’t stop the power from the outside?” Raquel asked changing the subject. “What about from here? If they turned the power off from here would it stay off?” Carmen gave Raquel a questioning look for a moment before her face returned to its “happy” expression.

“That’s my girl, always making strategies,” Carmen said proudly. “Yes if you shut off power to one of the systems from here then the backup generators wouldn’t turn it back on. That’s a general rule for compounds like this. Never try and cut the power from the outside, you have to do it from the inside. And you should never cut off the whole system at once, that’s a good way to get spotted. Only cut off the pieces you need.” Raquel looked at her mother feigning interest, but secretly reviling the fact that her mother was giving her a lesson on infiltrating enemy compounds. “Oh silly me I rambled there,” Carmen said giggling. “You are probably anxious to have your fun. We’ll have time to discuss this later.” Carmen said moving toward the door. “Don’t be too long or Cindy’s going to have her work cut out for her changing me,” Carmen said giggling as she shut the door.

“Ok let’s find that breaker,” Raquel said looking around the small room. As she looked over all of the screens she noticed the map Carmen gestured to that had the underground fence labeled on it. Beyond the weird misshapen red circle that represented the underground fence was a series of yellow cones, Raquel noticed that the bush Ryan had hidden behind when he arrived was situated in between two of these cones, with a bush blocking them, and if you were to crawl through the bush you would come out in between the coverage of the two cones. Raquel marveled at the luck Ryan had, as Cameron stated it was the only blind spot around the house and he found it by accident.

“Here it is,” Cindy said flipping a small blue lever on the wall. When she flipped it Raquel saw all of the lights on the maps dim. “Now what?”

“I guess we wait,” Raquel said with a sigh. “This seems like the safest place in the house.”

Raquel and Cindy waited inside the security room nervously, afraid that Carmen would come in at any moment and see her security system disabled. They could only hope that Cameron got there soon.

The quiet was interrupted by a strange sound from outside the room followed by a thud and a dragging sound. Then, just as quickly, Cameron opened the door, stepped inside quickly and shut the door behind him. Instead of his usual suit, he was wearing an all-black jumpsuit, and had a pistol with a silencer drawn. He crouched next to the door and put his ear to the outside.

“Alright,” Cameron said once he was sure the coast was clear. “Stay close, we are moving fast and quietly. Exfil is in the front west wing. I’ve marked a tree outside with a red x. That’s the most direct path past the underground fence, keep running past the tree until I tell you to stop clear?” Raquel and Cindy nodded.

Cameron opened the door and began quickly moving down one of the hallways on the first floor. Raquel and Cindy noticed significantly less guards around and realized that Cameron did not make it to them unchallenged. Cameron abruptly pushed the girls into a bathroom and followed them inside. He stood point his gun at the door as the girls heard the sound of footsteps run past the door. After another few seconds Cameron opened the door again and began running with Raquel and Cindy following.

Cameron made his way to the end of the hall to a slightly ajar window. He quickly opened the window. He turned around expecting to see the two girls following him, but he was shocked when he saw a concerned looking Cindy, and, further down the hall, stood Carmen, who had at some point snuck up behind the group, and was able to grab Raquel, who she now had in a choke hold, a butcher’s knife pressed to her throat. Cameron quickly pointed his weapon at Carmen who was using Raquel as a shield.

“Fancy seeing you here Cameron,” Carmen said menacingly. Raquel was too terrified to move, as any slight movement would cause the blade of the knife held against her throat to cut. Cameron was silent. He tried adjusting his position to get a better angle, but Carmen shifted with him, in such a way that she pushed him closer to the wall. “To think that you were hiding my Raquel this whole time. Right under my nose,” Carmen said with a grin. “Clearly being around you has made her weak, it’s no wonder it took her so long to find her way back to me.”

“Let her go Carmen,” Cameron said sternly. “We both know you aren’t going to kill her.”

“You’re right. I’m not going to kill her. She is my legacy, a prodigy. She will carry on the line whether she like it or not. There is no other option for her. So no, I’m not going to hurt her,” Carmen said licking her lips. In her free hand Carmen reached into a pocket of her dress and pulled out a black remote. “Cindy however.” Carmen said as she pushed a red button on the remote. As she pressed it Cindy fell to the ground screaming in pain, clawing at the collar around her neck. Cameron doubled his efforts to find the right angle on Carmen, but Cindy’s screams was making it more difficult. “Make your move Cooper.”

Another chapter for you guys. It's a bit of a shorter one, but combining it with the next chapter would have made it way to long. Also I somehow didn't catch this until I was writing this chapter, but Carmen and Cameron have remarkably similar names. That's my bad, should have noticed that sooner but oh well. If you think I mixed the names up somewhere I probably did, let me know and I'll correct it. Anyway as always hope you guys enjoy it.

Content: Chapter 28

Cameron and Carmen stood in a nervous standoff. Whenever Cameron had an angle, Carmen would hit the button on her remote, causing a shock to ripple out of Cindy’s collar, which made her scream and Cameron loose his focus. When he lost focus Carmen seized the opportunity to move closer to him. Slowly but surely she was backing him up to the end of the hall. Once he had his back against the wall, he would have nowhere to go, and Carmen would be in range to hit him with the knife she held to Raquel’s throat. Carmen hit the button on the remote again. At this point Cindy was beyond screaming, she was merely crying meekly, the shock only made her cry more.

“Cameron do it shoot her,” Raquel said screaming.

“I can’t get the shot,” Cameron screamed back.

“She’s going to kill her.”

“You are weak!” Carmen screamed at Raquel tugging her hair. “She is nothing but an object, and there will be another that will take her place. You have a lot to learn Raquel. You will learn to be stronger and I will teach you.”

“Cameron please,” Raquel said begging.

“I can’t hit her without hitting you,” Cameron said exasperated.

“Weak both of you,” Carmen teased. “You have to be willing to sacrifice to defeat your enemies or they will defeat you first. First I’m going to drive this knife in your throat, and then Cindy’s and I’ll make her watch. Maybe that will finally get her to grow a spine.”

“Cameron do it now,” Raquel said crying. Carmen held the remote in the air with her in her right hand. Cameron took a deep breath and aimed.

Three shots rang out and echoed down the hall. Raquel closed her eyes tightly. She was expecting to feel a sharp pain as three bullets passed through her, when that pain never came though she opened her eyes. Carmen’s right arm that was once holding the remote to Cindy’s collar was bloodied and covered with three holes, including one through her hand where the remote was, several bits of plastic and wire remaining in the place of a functional remote. Carmen was staring behind herself angrily. Raquel managed to glance behind her as well and saw a masked figure in a similar black jump suit to Cameron charging at Carmen. Raquel seized the opportunity to elbow Carmen in the gut, causing Carmen to loosen her grip on Raquel enough for Raquel to duck out of the way.

Immediately after Raquel ducked Carmen was tackled and picked up by the masked woman who continued charging at the end wall. Carmen flailed as she hung over the woman’s back, but was unable to get her to stop. Cameron casually stepped out of the way as the masked figure slammed Carmen into the wall, and then threw her on the ground over her back. Carmen attempted to get up but was met with a kick to the face. The force of the kick caused her to roll over on her back. In a flash the masked stranger drew a sword from a sheath the rested on her hip. She drove the sword into Carmen’s left arm and Carmen let out a scream in response.

Carmen attempted to remove the sword with her other hand, but she was too weak due to the three bullet holes in that arm. Once she was assured that her prey couldn’t move the stranger removed her mask. She was a girl around Raquel’s age, with tan skin and blonde hair. She walked past Raquel as if Raquel was invisible and made her way to Cindy who was curled up fetal position on the ground. She gently knelt down next to Cindy who turned to look at her in amazement.

“Ramona?” Cindy asked excited. The girl nodded yes and offered her hand to Cindy. “Ramona!” Cindy said happily embracing her in a hug.

“Good to see you too sis,” Ramona said happily.

“Ah hell,” Carmen said angrily. still pinned to the floor. “I thought I sold you to Cortez.”

“Yeah and he’s as dead as you’re about to be,” Ramona said with a snicker.

“You don’t have the guts,” Carmen teased.

“It’s a good thing I’m not doing it then,” Ramona said as the removed a knife that was strapped to her shoulder. She held it by the blade and handed it to her sister. “Don’t cut yourself,” she stated cautiously as Cindy took the knife. Cindy slowly began approaching Carmen who was desperately trying to free herself to no avail. Raquel was watching in horror until Cameron tapped her on the shoulder and motioned for her to follow him outside, a notion that Raquel was happy to oblige.

Raquel and Cameron waited by Cameron’s car. Nearby was the black van that Ramona must have arrived in. Ramona soon emerged from Carmen’s mansion holding Cindy under her arm. Without saying much to Raquel or Cameron she opened the back doors of her van and motioned for Cindy to sit inside. She began picking the lock on the back of Cindy’s collar. Now that she was close Raquel could see the Cindy was still wearing her collar from Carmen, though hers was painted with a floral design and skulls, but it was unmistakably the same collar that Cindy was wearing. Cindy remained quiet while Ramona worked.

“Why are you still wearing your collar?” Raquel asked. Ramona perked up slightly causing Raquel to jump a little. “Sorry,” Raquel said apologizing. Ramona sighed, and kept working as she talked.

“It’s fine,” Ramona said. “It’s just once you wear it for so long, it feels wrong if you aren’t. I made it a little more stylish though. Don’t worry, I took out all of the electronics myself, something I’m going to do to Cindy’s if I ever … ah ha!” Ramona said proud as Cindy’s collar abruptly opened and fell off of her neck. Cindy immediately grabbed her throat with her hand. “I know sis, give me a minute and I’ll give it back to you.” Ramona said as she began picking at the two prongs on the inside of the collar with a screwdriver until they popped off, she then began digging at the wires inside with needle nose pliers.

“So are we good?” Cameron asked breaking the awkward silence.

“Yeah we’re good,” Ramona said gruffly. “I’ve got my big sister, and Carmen is dead.” Ramon said sarcastically. Cameron did not seem convinced, but also didn’t want to upset Ramona considering what she just did to Carmen, and how it seemed relatively easy for her to do. "I'll keep up my end of the bargain too. Anyone comes after Raquel because of what happened here, is going to have to deal with me first." Cameron at least seemed confident that Ramona would hold up that part of the bargain so he relaxed a little.

“I’m sorry for what happened to you two,” Raquel said quietly.

“It’s not your fault,” Ramona said seriously. “Take it from me, you’re not the same as your parents. You’re not like Carmen, no matter how much she would’ve liked you to be." Ramona ripped out the last bit of electronics from Cindy’s collar, and started affixing an easier to open lock.

“So you’ve been preparing all this time?” Cameron asked.

“Yup, ever since I escaped from Cortez. Thankfully he wasn’t near as paranoid as Carmen, so it was easy to get away from him. After that I was just waiting for a reason. I wanted to come back for Cindy sooner, but I couldn’t get any backing. Carmen's got friends in high places, but when I saw you were the one offering the hit. Can't imagine what you had to do to get everyone else to sign off on it."

“Yeah well it’s been a long time coming.”

“I’ll bet,” Ramona said giggling. “Not that it excuses anything you’ve done for her.” Cameron’s face turned grim. “Don’t worry, as long as you don’t get into any trouble, you won’t be hearing from me anymore,” Ramona said to Cameron. As she said this she finally fixed Cindy’s collar and locked it to her neck, showing her how to get it off. Cindy hugged her sister tightly.

With her work on the collar completed Ramona started packing things up in her van. Cindy gave Raquel a farewell hug.

“Thanks for being nice to me,” Cindy said quickly before getting in the passenger seat of the van. Ramona approached Raquel once Cindy had gotten in the front of the van, and she had closed the back doors.

“Seriously though stay out of trouble,” Ramona said seriously. “This ain’t the kind of life you want, it turns you into people like your mom, and like Cooper over there.”

“Yeah,” Raquel said in agreement. "Trust me you don't have to worry about that."

“Like I said before, we ain’t our parents. We’ve both been through some rough times because of them.” Ramona slipped Raquel a piece of paper. “That’s my number, if you think anyone is after you give me a call, I’ll take care of it. Also,” Ramona said fidgeting nervously. “If you just need someone to talk to about stuff. Cindy will probably be with me, and she’ll need someone to talk to, and I do to,” Ramona added quietly. “So don’t be a stranger,” Raquel stuck the piece of paper Ramona gave her in her pocket as Ramona got in her van and slowly began to drive off. Raquel reluctantly got into Cameron’s car. As soon as Raquel was safely in the car, Cameron drove off in the opposite direction as Ramona.

“I’m dropping you off at that motel with your friends,” Cameron said bluntly.

“They’re ok?” Raquel asked concerned. Cameron nodded.

“I noticed when I was tracking you that you spent the night there so I thought I would check there first. Lucky I did I wouldn’t have been able to find that blind spot without them.” There was a brief silence.

“So care to explain?” Raquel asked. “Cindy said you were Caremn's lawyer,” Raquel said judgmentally.

“I don’t need your judgement,” Cameron answered gruffly. “Yes I worked for Carmen as a lawyer. Most people of her position have one, and she paid well too. That’s the reason you’ve been living in such a nice house this whole time.” Raquel gave an annoyed sigh.

“That doesn’t explain me,” Raquel said angrily. “Why did you adopt me, you knew I was her daughter.” Cameron gave a sigh.

*****

A young Cameron watched the lonely Georgia Motel from the top of a nearby hill though a pair of binoculars. He watched quietly as a confused Miguel Hernandez was dragged out of the hotel room by several well armed cops. On seeing Miguel in custody Cameron made a call.

“It’s done,” Cameron said officially.

“Excellent,” Carmen said excitedly from the other end of the line. “That sympathetic fool was holding me back. He served his purpose, it was past time that I got rid of him. And for taking care of this for me, you’ve got a nice raise waiting for you when you get back. I’m sure your wife will be happy,” Carmen said with a giggle. Cameron let out a small nervous laugh in return.

“I’ll report to you when I’m back,” Cameron said seriously.

“See that you do,” Carmen said with a hint of finality as she hung up the phone. Cameron put his phone away and looked through the binoculars once again, to make sure the scene was wrapping up as expected. Through the binoculars he saw a young Raquel running toward the police until she was abruptly grabbed by one of the officers, and put into the back of a car screaming. Carmen neglected to tell Cameron about her daughter, and the resemblance between her and Carmen was unmistakable. Cameron watched the scene unfold, and for the first time, he suddenly had second thoughts about what he was doing. He couldn’t undo what had been done, but he had the strong sudden urge to insure that this innocent girl did not suffer because of his actions.

Cameron ran to the police, only managing to get there as they were wrapping up.

“Mr. Cooper,” one of the officers said. “Thank you for the tip, he was right where you said he would be, it must have taken some expert detective work to know this was going to happen.”

“The girl, Miguel’s daughter,” Cameron asked angrily, ignoring what the cop said. “What happened to her? Where’s she going?”

“I had Rogers take her to social services. They’ll put her into the foster system.”

“I need the number for center now,” Cameron demanded.

“I’m afraid I don’t have the number on me sir,” The cop said apologetically. With a huff Cameron stormed off to his car. He knew time was short. A girl like Raquel won’t last long in the foster system before someone adopts her for extra government money. That’s not the life he planned for her, and it wasn’t going to happen if he could help it.

******

It had been two years since Cameron last saw Raquel. After what seemed like an endless stream of wild goose chases and dead ends, Cameron found a trail from foster home to foster home, until he finally found Raquel at a foster home in South Carolina, lucky him, the same state he resided. With a quick pull of a few strings, Raquel was back at the orphanage, just in time for Cameron’s wife to pick her up. Cameron sighed in relief as his daughter Sarah sent him the text that they arrived and had gotten Raquel.

What little he could do he had done. No doubt Jennifer would be a much better mother than whatever foster mother she was with now. And Cameron’s cover as a typical family man, and his knowledge of local laws proved effective in quickly securing Raquel’s adoption. Before she had even entered the orphanage Cameron had adopted her.

“Cameron?” came Carmen’s voice from the end of the hall. Cameron was snapped out of his thoughts and brought back into his reality. Currently he was waiting outside of Carmen’s office after excusing himself from a meeting to “take a call.” Apparently he had been gone for too long as Carmen approached him, holding the leads to Ramona and Cindy in her hand. The two girls meekly followed behind her.

“Sorry,” Cameron said apologetically. “Wife troubles.”

“The cost of a cover,” Carmen said knowingly. “Well I hope you’ve got it taken care of."

“It’s not an issue any more,” Cameron said bluntly.

“Good, let’s get back to it then,” Carmen said cheerfully. She turned around and walked toward her office with Ramona and Cindy following her at the distance of their leads. Cameron walked behind Carmen at a similar distance walking next to two girls, they both looked at him, silently pleading for help. Cameron returned a sympathetic gaze. He wanted to help, but at this point he had gone in too deep, He’d risked his life by adopting Raquel to give her a good home. If Carmen ever found out, well, he knew too much to just be simply let go. He couldn’t make any moves against her until he was sure Raquel was safe. “Keep your hands to yourself,” Carmen said noticing that Cameron was gazing at the two girls, though not noticing the intent behind it.

“Sorry,” Cameron apologized. “It wasn’t like that.”

“Sure,” Carmen said in disbelief. “These two are mine, so don’t get any ideas.”

******

“So you saved me?” Raquel asked as Cameron finished telling his story.

“Yes.” Cameron answered. “I don’t know why, but I just couldn’t let you suffer because of something I did. You would have grown up to be another Carmen. You’d be worse than Carmen, if she had her way.”

“Well I guess I should thank you,” Raquel said unsure of how to feel.

“No you shouldn’t,” Cameron answered honestly. “It doesn’t excuse everything else I’ve done, and you’re right, I should have told you all of this sooner. I was worried that you would run back to her if you found out the truth.”

“Telling me the truth would have prevented me from wanting to see her at all.”

“Hindsight’s 20-20,” Cameron said as he approached the motel. Raquel could see Ryan’s car parked out front, likely Ryan and Brittney were waiting inside. “You should meet up with your friends and go back home.”

“What about you?” Raquel asked. Cameron sighed.

“I’m leaving Raquel.”

“Leaving?”

“I’m not coming back with you, back to Jennifer.”

“So you’re just going to run out on her?” Raquel asked disgusted. “You’re a real piece of work.”

“I need to lay low, if I go back it’ll only put you and Jennifer and the kids in danger,” Cameron said as an excuse.

“You just don’t want to go back,” Raquel said seeing through Cameron’s lie.

“I’m not a very good father. It’s not something I ever wanted to be. But a nuclear family makes for a good cover. Now that my boss is dead, I don't need or want a cover anymore.”

“Maybe you’re right. Maybe you should go. If that’s all they are to you, it’s better if you’re gone.” Cameron was silent. Raquel angrily opened the door of Cameron’s car and stepped out. “Well thanks for getting me out of foster care hell, but go screw yourself for putting me in there in the first place.” After her mic drop moment Raquel closed the door and walked toward the hotel room. Cameron sped off as soon as Raquel was a safe distance away from his car.

Raquel didn’t know how to feel about all of this. She did owe Cameron for rescuing her, keeping her from her mother and letting her be with Jennifer as a part of her family. But there was no denying what he was, and what he did. He was almost as bad as Carmen was. Not to mention that a huge weight was lifted off of Raquel’s shoulders now that he was gone. No more having to keep his infidelity a secret, and no looming threat of being placed back into foster care over her head. Though, in retrospect, it seems she was never really in danger of being sent back to the orphanage, but it just goes to show what kind of person Cameron was that he would actually use that as a threat.

Raquel quietly opened the door to the motel room. Brittney and Ryan looked at their friend and looks of relief spread across their faces upon discovering she was ok.

“Let’s go home guys,” Raquel said solemnly.

Got another chapter for you guys. If you can't tell things are coming to a close. My big goal with this chapter was to sort of take you back to the beginning, and explain Mr. Coopers motivations. I have been subtly dropping hints that not only was he the one behind Raquel being adopted, but that he wasn't what he appeared to be. It's mostly in line with the original though, from what I remember. The original had another angle where Cooper had a fling with Carmen when they were young and he was an exchange student, that made most of his actions dirven by passion. I went with a more professional thing. My Mr. Cooper is only in it for the money and the power, and he's beginning to realize that he bit off more than he could chew at some point, and was loosing control of the situation. It was also my plan from the begining to have him just sort of leave when everything was taken care of, without a lot of pomp and circumstance, to sort of drive home that there really wasn't anything keeping him tied down, that his family didn't mean much of anything to him. I'll look into his backstory a little more in the next chapter, through the lense of Jennifer Cooper so be excited for that. Also I've decided that, like I did with Abby's diapers, I'm going to finish off by adding two cut chapters as a bonus. Just like then these are chapters that I already have written out for the most part, but I decided against putting them in, and I'll go over why when we get to them. Last not, the line "don't cut yourself" is from a cutscene in Halo Reach (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjrzhkKwMWc) in keeping with my dumb tradition of having a halo line somewhere in my stories. As always hope you guys enjoy it.

A very good chapter, B. I think you've done such a good job with this story that, in all honesty, I'm not even sure which version I prefer. I've put both on my "recommended" list, in case you haven't noticed. One question I'm going to have if you don't resolve it: with all of this, will Miguel be exonerated?

[End of quote]

Nope he won't, but he also doesn't really want to be. He knows he was set up for this crime, but he also knows that he's committed several other worse crimes. He'll stay in prison because looking back in retrospect he feels like he deserved what he got.

Content: Chapter 29

Ryan slowly pulled the car in front of Raquel’s house. Raquel, Ryan, and Brittney were all mostly silent on the way back, both because of the weight of what had happened, and because they were all exhausted.

“Sorry about how everything turned out Raquel,” Brittney apologized. “I was just trying to help. I didn’t think all of this would happen.”

“It’s not your fault,” Raquel said forgivingly. “No one could have guessed what would happen.”

“Ain’t that the truth,” Ryan chimed in. “What are you going to do now?”

“Well I’ve got to break the news to Jennifer about what happened,” Raquel said meekly. “Especially about Cameron leaving. Then I’m probably going to take a nap.”

“That’ll be all you get to do,” Brittney added jokingly. “If your mom is anything like mine we’re both going to be grounded until the end of time.”

“One thing at a time,” Raquel said with a sigh. She quietly got out of the car and Ryan drove away. Raquel calmly knocked on the front door. She was greeted somewhat unexpectedly by Kelsey.

“Kelsey?” Raquel asked in shock.

“Raquel!” Kelsey said hugging Raquel happily before quickly letting her go. “Where have you been?” Kelsey asked sternly. “I’ve been worried sick about you! You didn’t call, you didn’t text.” Kelsey was interrupted mid rant by Jennifer, who quickly moved Kelsey out of the way and embraced Raquel in a hug.

“Hey mom,” Raquel said innocently.

“Where have you been?” Jennifer asked sternly. “I’ve been worried sick about you! You didn’t call, you didn’t text, and when Cameron went out looking for you I was worried that something happened to you.”

“I’m fine,” Raquel said quietly. “And I’m sorry I left without calling you.”

“What happened to you? And where’s Cameron, I thought he would come back with you.”

Raquel calmly moved inside the house, and then took a few minutes to explain what happened to Jennifer. How she had met her real mom, and how it turned out she was a drug lord. Thankfully Cameron was able to save her. Raquel took more care in explaining how Cameron had left, and how he wasn’t coming back. She even finally came clean about his affair with Kelsey’s mom, his secretary, with Kelsey meekly confirming the truth. A huge weight was lifted off of Raquel as she finally revealed the secret she had kept from Jennifer for so long. She had expected a more surprised reaction from Jennifer. Instead Jennifer was calm and quiet.

“I’m sorry mom,” Raquel said quietly “About everything. You deserve better than that.”

“Come sit down Raquel,” Jennifer said calmly, motioning for Raquel to sit at the kitchen table.

“Are you mad at me?” Raquel asked concerned.

“No I’m not mad at you,” Jennifer said sweetly. “I understand why you felt the need to do what you did, and I’m glad you’re home safe, and that you got some closure out of all that crazy mess. Just don't do anything like that again, you nearly gave me a heart attack.”

“What about Cameron? What are you going to do?” Raquel asked. Jennifer sighed.

“To be honest, I’ve expected this would happen for a while now. Cameron’s always been distant. I never knew the exact reason why, but now that I do I’m glad that he’s gone.”

“What about Erica and Andy. Me and Sarah,” Raquel asked with concern.

“Shh,” Jennifer said rubbing Raquel’s back gently. “We’ll be fine. Years ago it would have been a problem, but now that I’m tenured at the university I’m not worried about it. As long as I’ve got you kids I’m happy.” That seemed to cheer Raquel up. “I think I’ve known this would happen for a while. If I’m being totally honest, the only reason I stayed with him so long is because he helped me while I was trying to get in with the university, and then I stayed because we had the kids. It felt like that was really the only thing keeping us together at that point.”

“I’m still sorry it had to happen to you.” Jennifer sweetly kissed Raquel on her forehead.

“Thanks sweetie. I’m sure you’re probably tired, why don’t you take a nap.” Raquel nodded and made her way up to her room. Kelsey, who had been waiting on the stairs followed behind Raquel until the two were alone in Raquel’s room.

“Raquel I …” Kelsey began, but she was stopped as Raquel embraced her in a hug. “I was going to say I’m sorry. Sadie told me everything. I should have trusted you.”

“Shut up dummy,” Raquel said jokingly. “I forgive you.”

“That’s good,” Kelsey said relieved. “I had come over with Sadie to apologize earlier, but you were gone. Sadie and I got kinda roped in to helping out with the twins.”

“Thank you,” Raquel said sincerely. “Where’d Sadie go?”

“She headed home,” Kelsey said laughing. “I guess the only kid she can handle for too long is herself.” Raquel giggled too.

“You’re wrong for that,” Raquel said laughing. Raquel’s exhaustion was getting to her as she suddenly slumped into Kelsey’s arms.

“Woah,” Kelsey said catching Raquel. “Easy girl,” Kelsey said laying Raquel down on her bed.

“Kelsey,” Raquel mumbled. “Change please.” Kelsey sighed.

“You know we only just got back together,” She said jokingly as she moved Raquel’s skirt up to see her diaper. "And you're already putting me back to work."

“I said please,” Raquel mumbled quietly.

“I guess that’s good enough for me,” Kelsey said already part way through the diaper change. Raquel passed out before Kelsey could finish, so she had to tape the diaper on a sleeping Raquel.

Raquel woke up with a groan. Judging from the light in the room, she had slept into the night. And although the stress of the day was catching up to her, causing some aching joints, it was one of the better naps she had in her life. After her sleepy vision cleared a bit Raquel could make out the shape of Kelsey sitting on the edge of her bed on her phone.

“Mornin’ sunshine,” Raquel said groggily, playfully poking Kelsey with a toe.

“It’s 7 o’clock Raquel the time for sunshine is over,” Kelsey replied. Raquel had now noticed that Kelsey was wearing Raquel’s pajamas. While they fit her well enough, Raquel was a little shorter than Kelsey, so Raquel’s pajamas exposed Kelsey’s belly button which Raquel found oddly attractive. “Hope you don’t mind," Kelsey said noting Raquel's stare. "I borrowed some of your pjs,” Kelsey said quietly.

“Not at all,” Raquel said trying to hide her attraction to Kelsey.

“Easy there tiger,” Kelsey said seeing through Raquel’s poor attempt to hide her feelings. “You should eat. Your mom made some killer soup.” Kelsey said as she wordlessly began to change Raquel’s diaper. Raquel hadn’t even noticed that she had wet the bed again, though it wasn’t completely unexpected. She quietly allowed Kelsey to change her, strangely happy to have her girlfriend changing her again. There was something genuinely caring about the way Kelsey did it, that was wholly unique to Raquel. Before she simply allowed Kelsey to do it because Kelsey had asked and it brought them closer. Raquel was now finding that she enjoyed it when Kelsey changed her instead of just tolerating it. Once she was finished Kelsey helped Raquel up. “You really do need to calm down a little,” Kelsey said knowingly. Raquel blushed a deep shade of red. “I’ll consider it a compliment.” Kelsey grabbed Raquel’s hand and led her down stairs.

Jennifer was in the kitchen cleaning up. There was a bowl of spicy smelling chicken soup meant for Raquel on the counter. It had been there long enough to grow cold.

“Oh you’re awake,” Jennifer said cheerfully. She wordlessly put Raquel’s soup in the microwave to heat it back up. “I’d ask if you had a nice nap, but you’ve been asleep most of the day.”

“Don’t worry Jen,” Kelsey said cheerfully. “I’ve been watching her.”

“With the door open?” Jennifer asked sternly.

“With the door open,” Kelsey confirmed.

“Mmm hmm,” Jennifer said authoritatively. “I think this one might be a keeper Raquel.” Raquel and Kelsey both blushed deeply at Jennifer’s comment.

Raquel enjoyed a normal evening conversation with Jennifer, who was happy to embarrass Raquel plenty in front of Kelsey, but was just as quick to offer plenty bits of embracing advice to Kelsey. By the end of the dinner Raquel and Kelsey both felt like their skin may have actually been stuck red. Eventually it ended and Raquel and Kelsey retired to Raquel’s room. Raquel was dressing in pajamas of her own while Kelsey was blowing up an air mattress at the foot of Raquel’s bed.

“Think you’ll make it to school tomorrow?” Kelsey asked. Raquel paused. With all that had happened to her over the past few days, school seemed a million miles away. All of the petty drama that came along with it seemed especially pointless considering all Raquel had gone through. “Is that a no?” Kelsey asked at Raquel’s silence.

“Maybe,” Raquel answered unsure. “I don’t know. It’s just not something I’ve thought about. It seems like it’s been so long since I’ve been to school, but it’s really only been three days.”

“Yeah you missed Monday, not that anyone could blame you.”

“Anyone worried about me?”

“No, people skip all of the time. I think a lot of the squad did, we were all tired from Brit’s party.”

“God that was this weekend,” Raquel said amazed.

“It sounds like you're taking a day off to me.”

“Nah,” Raquel said cheerfully. “It’s just school. As long I got you it shouldn’t be too bad.” Kelsey responded to this by kissing Raquel on the cheek.

Despite the intensity of the weekend’s events, Raquel had a relatively easy going time at school, and didn't have any problems getting through her classes and cheer practice. As the day came to a close Raquel loudly announced the end of cheer practice for the day. Despite all she had been through, she got back in the routine surprisingly well. Practice was starting to ramp up as the squad prepared for their next competition. The pressure wasn’t as high for this one. The girls were good, but there were some groups at the upcoming competition that were on a whole other level. They knew they weren’t going to win, and so did everyone else. They were practicing to put on a good show, but were only going to have a good time.

Raquel caught up with Britteny who was getting ready to leave.

“How did it go with your mom?” Raquel asked curiously.

“Not too bad,” Brittney answered. “She was still mad at me, but since it was partly her fault she went easy on me, only one week. You?” Raquel shook her head.

“Nothing as far as I can tell. Mom is pretty understanding, and I think she forgave me for not filling her in given the circumstances.”

“Yeah, it was mostly Cameron’s fault that we felt the need to go in the first place,” Brittney said following Raquel’s reasoning. “How did she take Cameron leaving?”

“Hard to tell,” Raquel answered honestly. “I guess after everything he did, she didn’t want him to stay. He did just leave her though, that can’t feel good. If it’s bothering her though, she hasn’t told me.”

“I hope she’ll be ok,” Brittney said concerned. “I for one hope to put that whole mess behind me. I don’t want to think about it, unless it involves me writing a screen play about it.” Raquel laughed a little.

“I guess it would make a good movie thinking back on it.”

“Dude you were saved by a friggin ninja. It’d make a great movie. A really good book too.”

“I don’t know if I’d call Ramona a ninja.”

“She dressed in black and stabbed someone with a sword on her quest for vengeance. She was a ninja Raquel.”

“Well when you put it like that, yeah I guess she is a ninja,” Raquel said laughing.

“I gotta get back home,” Brittney said in a panic looking at her phone. Before Brittney could leave she saw Kelsey approach. “Still with her?” Brittney asked exasperated. Raquel shrugged innocently. “Ugh I’ll never get your taste,” Brittney said as she quickly made her way to her car, not eager to incur the wrath of her mother further.

“Hey cutie,” Kelsey said giving Raquel a quick kiss as she approached. “Sadie’s picking us up, she wanted to go out for ice cream, her treat. She thinks that she has to apologize for you.”

“She doesn't," Raquel said quickly. "But ice cream sounds like fun so I'll go along with it."

“I should mention,” Kelsey said as the two began walking to meet Sadie. “When Sadie told me about her, you know.” Raquel nodded saying that she understood. “She was hoping you wouldn’t mind if she acted little around us.”

“I guess,” Raquel said caught a little off guard. "I'll have to see how she acts when she's like that. As long as it doesn't get too weird."

“Great,” Kelsey said happily. “Don’t worry I’ll take care of her and make sure she doesn’t get too crazy.”

“Does that mean you’ll be changing her too?” Raquel asked quickly.

“Jealous?”

“No,” Raquel said unconvincingly. “Just concerned.”

“Don’t worry,” Kelsey said giggling. “You’re cuter so I’ll let you go first."

“Why does she get to go first?” Sadie asked surprisingly sneaking up on the two.

“How long have you been listening?” Raquel asked shocked.

“Long enough,” Sadie said giggling.

“And you think giving her sugar is a good idea?” Raquel asked jokingly.

“She can handle it,” Kelsey said hopefully. “She’s and adult, mostly.”

“Let me text mom where we’re going before we get too carried away,” Raquel said busily texting Jennifer on her phone. Raquel was given the green light by the time the girls made it to Sadie's truck.

After ice cream, the group decided to hang out at Kelsey’s house since her dad was out of town, and her mom had been missing for a few days, Kelsey showing no obvious concern about her mom's absence. The group was watching an animated that Sadie had picked out. It wasn’t long into the movie before Raquel and Sadie were wearing just their shirts and diapers, and Kelsey had slipped into more comfortable clothes. As the movie was entering the third act Raquel made her way into the kitchen and began cooking something to eat.

“I’m confused,” Kelsey said to Sadie who was laying on the floor suckling on a pacifier. “Why does that girl want the orb of power anyway?”

“Because it has all of colors in the world,” Sadie said muffled slightly by the pacifier.

“This movie is dumb,” Kelsey declared.

“Nuh-uh, you just aren’t paying attention.”

“I keep getting distracted by the songs,” Kelsey complained.

“The songs are the bestest part,” Sadie countered.

“Ok kids,” Raquel called out subtly making fun of the two girls. “Made some chicken tapas,” Raquel said proudly holding a plate of food gesturing the two to sit at the table. Sadie and Kelsey quickly made their way to the table, and began taking tapas from the plate as Raquel handed them sippy cups of tea, while she poured hers in a glass. Kelsey gave an accusatory look, but Raquel drank her tea innocently. Sadie giggled happily as Kelsey resigned herself to drinking from the sippy cup.

“These are good baby,” Kelsey said struggling to get any liquid from her sippy cup.

“Thank you,” Raquel said proudly.

“Slow down Sadie,” Kelsey scolded. “You’ll choke eating that fast.” Sadie meekly obeyed and ate her food slowly. Kelsey and Raquel shared a knowing look and laughed a little. As Kelsey was finishing her food, Raquel elbowed her and gave a quick glance. Kelsey interpreted the silent message, quickly finished the last bite of her food and stood up, offering a hand to Raquel. Raquel grabbed Kelsey’s hand and followed behind her as Kelsey began to walk to her bedroom. Kelsey had a thought before she got completely out of the room.

“You too Sadie,” Kelsey said sweetly. "I bet you need a change as much as Raquel does am I right?” Sadie didn't directly respond but she quickly go up and joined the other two. Raquel offered her free hand to Sadie, the three of them making a small chain, as Kelsey led them to her room for changing.

After they were changed, Sadie calmed down a little. Growing up, for lack of a better term as she got ready to drive herself back home. After getting the ok from Jennifer, Raquel had decided to stay a little longer, wanting to have some time alone with Kelsey. After they finished the last bit of the movie they were watching, Sadie packed up her things in her backpack.

“This was fun guys,” Sadie said as she made her way to the door. “I hope I wasn’t too much of a bother,” Sadie stated looking at Raquel for confirmation.

“You were fine,” Raquel said happily. “It was actually kind of fun.” Sadie smiled, happy that she had gotten Raquel's approval.

“Well we should definitely do it again,” Sadie said skipping off to her truck. "See you guys at school tomorrow.” Sadie said as she got into her truck. Kelsey shut the door as Sadie left.

After only a few seconds alone Raquel and Kelsey embraced each and began passionately kissing, tripping over the arm of a couch and landing in the seat with a fit of giggles. They continued kissing until Raquel had to stop to catch her breath. Kelsey was perched over Raquel, both of them lying down on the couch. They looked at each other. Both were breathing irregularly. After a moment Kelsey helped Raquel off of the couch.

“What are you doing?” Raquel asked quietly.

“Raquel I love you,” Kelsey said seriously.

“I love you too,” Raquel said after a moment of thought. Kelsey abruptly grabbed Raquel’s crotch, her fingers pushing into the diaper. Raquel gasped and looked at Kelsey longingly. Kelsey pushed against Raquel forcing her to the wall. The two shared an intense look before quickly making their way to Kelsey’s bedroom, throwing off their clothes quickly when they made it inside. They met on Kelsey’s bed in an embrace.

“You want to do this?” Kelsey asked nervously. “Are you sure?”

“Yes,” Raquel said though her voice was wavering.

“That doesn’t sound convincing,” Kelsey said seriously.

“I’m scared and nervous,” Raquel said honestly. “But I want this I want you.” Raquel heard the familiar sound of Kelsey untaping Raquel’s diaper. Raquel felt it fall loose as Kelsey laid down on the bed allowing Raquel to gently fall on top of her.

Content: Epilouge

Sarah was impatiently waiting in the lobby of her dorm. Not only did she have homework to do and exams to study for, but she also didn’t want to see the particular person she was meeting. After what seemed like an eternity she finally received a text from her father Cameron Cooper. It read simply “outside.” Sarah let out a sigh and made her way out to the parking lot of her dorm.

She had already been called by her mother Jennifer, and been given the details of not only her father’s criminal dealings, but his infidelity as well. Sarah had assumed that he wanted to give some final words to her before leaving forever. Sarah had enjoyed a closer connection with her father than most of the other members of her family, it was obvious to her that she was his favorite even if he never admitted it. Now though she wouldn’t use the word “enjoy” to describe anything about her father.

Sarah walked out quickly and angrily to her father’s car. Cameron was casually smoking a cigarette trying to look inconspicuous. Sarah approached him.

“What?!” she asked abruptly and angrily.

“You too huh?” Cameron asked sadly.

“What did you expect?”

“Which one is it? The job or you mother?”

“Mom obviously,” Sarah said indignantly. Cameron chuckled.

“You always suspected didn’t you.”

“What? You mean where the money was coming from? Yeah I always knew it was from something illegal.”

“You didn’t know what?”

“I had suspicions it was from drugs. I couldn’t ever find proof.”

“You were always smart,” Cameron said admiringly.

“Shut up,” Sarah said disgusted. “The only reason I was ok with it, was because I thought you were doing it for your family. Clearly you were only doing it for yourself.”

“You can believe whatever you want, I did it for you. So you could have an easy life.”

“Whatever you have to tell yourself to sleep at night. I’m sure that’s why you bothered with Raquel too. Just so you could feel better about yourself.” Cameron was silent, Sarah had hit home. “Well if you weren’t so terrible to her the whole time, I would say that’s the one good thing you did.”

“I just wanted to tell you goodbye, and good luck before I left,” Cameron said growing tired of Sarah’s criticisms. “Thought I owed that to you.”

“Well thanks I guess,” Sarah said with a sigh.

“You’ll be alright,” Cameron said proudly.

“I guess I can thank you for all the times you were there,” Sarah said more positively.

“Your welcome,” Cameron said, happy that his daughter said something positive about him.

“So that’s it. You’re gone.”

“Yup I’m gone. You’ll probably never hear from me again.”

“Well,
” Sarah said seriously. “I’m not going to say I’m sad, because of what you did to mom. I’m also not going to say I’m happy, because of all the times you were there for us. That’s the closest you’re going to get to a heartfelt goodbye from me.”

“I’ll take it,” Cameron said with a small laugh. He began to make his way back to his car as Sarah turned her back on him and made her way back to her dorm. She hated her father, no doubt. But there was a part of her that was glad he stopped to say goodbye to her. For as flawed as he was he was still her dad. Sarah watched silently as Cameron drove quickly toward the exit to Sarah’s university.

There's the epilogue. Really the only reason I didn't just upload this with the last chapter, is because I was running behind, and didn't have a chance to edit it. There's not a whole lot here, but we get one last look at Sarah before wrapping up, and get a condensed version of her feelings about everything. Hope you guys enjoy it.

Content: Bonus Chapter 1

Breaking tradition a bit, but I'm going to post the "author's notes" section at the beginning instead of the end. That's so I can set up this chapter better. First off think of this chapter taking place some time between chapter 10 and 11, in between the time when Raquel became head cheerleader, and when she and Kelsey started dating. Just so you know the context this is in. Also I'm going to mention that this is a deleted chapter. So I don't consider it cannon, i.e. it didn't actually happen, also keep in mind that these ideas were scrapped for a reason. I'm not saying that I'm slacking off, I'm still giving these all the usual effort, but I would ask that you keep an open mind when reading these. I'll save the reason why this was deleted at the end to avoid spoilers.

Jennifer pulled up to the Cheng’s house, Raquel was waiting excitedly in the passenger seat of the car, a bag of clothes in her lap. Brittney had invited Raquel over for a sleepover, this one more planned than their last which was spur of the moment, caused when Kelsey randomly showed up to babysit at the Cooper house.

“Wow. Barbra must be doing well for herself,” Jennifer said amazed at the size of the house.

“I know right,” Raquel agreed. Jennifer pulled her car into the end of the driveway, just outside of a large garage that housed the Cheng’s vehicles. Raquel followed behind Jennifer carrying her bag.

“You packed your toothbrush and shampoo right?” Jennifer asked as she knocked on the front door. “And they already have some diapers for you?”

“Yes mom,” Raquel said annoyed.

“I’m just making sure sweetie,” Jennifer was interrupted by Barbra who answered the door, Brittney waiting behind her.

“Hey Jennifer,” Barbra said happily.

“Hello Barbra. I’m just dropping Raquel off. She mentioned that you guys had some protection for her, so I assume you know about her problem.”

“Mom!” Raquel huffed annoyed.

“Yes we do,” Barbra said with a giggle. “We’ll take care of her.” Raquel grew increasingly aggravated at this conversation. Jennifer picked up on this and quickly changed the subject.

“Well I’ll leave you girls to your fun,” Jennifer said happily. “Raquel you be sure and call me if you have any problems all right.”

“Yes mom,” Raquel said obediently. Jennifer kissed Raquel on the forehead before leaving. Once Jennifer was gone Brittney ran up and hugged Raquel.

“Glad you could make it,” Brittney said happily taking Raquel’s bag of clothes from her.

“Oh it’s no problem,” Raquel said. “I don’t think I’ve ever been to a real sleepover before. I’m kind of excited.”

“Really? I haven’t either. I was always too worried everyone would get the wrong idea about me from the size of the house.” Raquel and Brittney continued talking while they made their way to Brittney’s room.

“I guess its new territory for both of us,” Raquel said as they made it to Brittney’s room. “I was hoping you would have some idea of what girls are supposed to do at sleepovers.”

“Just what I’ve seen on movies,” Brittney said setting Raquel’s bag down in the corner. “I think a big part is talking about boys, but I get the feeling that’s not something you’d be interested in.” Raquel shrugged innocently. “I thought of some other stuff though. I picked us out some movies we could watch, and if you want we could make some smores out back. We’ve got a fire pit on the back patio.”

“Of course you do,” Raquel said quietly so as not to upset Brittney. “Why don’t we just take it easy for a bit? Mom’s already embarrassed me enough dropping me off. I guess she’s just worried, but the way she talks makes it sound like I’m a little kid.”

“Yeah it did,” Brittney said sympathetically. “I guess it’s just the nature of it though.”

“Yeah. I kind of expected it honestly. I know she’s just doing it for the right reasons, and that she can’t really help it, but sometimes she treats me like I’m a baby. I shouldn’t complain,” Raquel said stopping herself. “Mom’s great, a hell of a lot better than all of the other foster parents I’ve been with.”

“I’ll bet. Compared to them, her being overprotective must be a walk in the park.”

“You have no idea.”

“Want to talk about it?” Brittney asked sympathetically lying on her bed.

“Don’t get me wrong,” Raquel said plainly. “It doesn’t bother me to talk about it, but some of it’s actually pretty bad, you probably don’t want to hear it.”

“You’re probably right,” Brittney said thinking about her request more. “Did you ever tell Jennifer about any of it?”

“Yeah, after the first few moths living with them. She never asked me about it, I had to sit her down one day and tell her. I think we both ended up crying all night.”

“Well like you said you’re out of it now.”

“Ain’t that the truth? All of this petty high school crap is a cake walk.” Raquel and Brittney both shared a laugh.

“All right I’m going to brighten the mood,” Brittney said getting up and making her way to her tv. “I’ve got the first three Crazy Clown Killers movies for us to watch.”

“Movies about killer clowns? I thought you were going to brighten the mood not scare me.”

“I’ve seen them,” Brittney said laughing. “Despite the name they are not the least bit scary. The box says horror, but I promise you these movies are comedies.”

True to Brittney’s word the movies were poorly shot, poorly acted, and poorly constructed overall. So poorly, in fact, that it was actually comedic how bad it got. Raquel and Brittney were both having a good time making fun of the movies. The second movie had just ended, Brittney had gotten up to take it out and replace it with the third and final movie.

“Hold on a minute,” Raquel said quickly. “I need to change before you start the movie.”

“Oh did you want me to leave?” Brittney asked.

“You don’t have to,” Raquel stated plainly. “Everyone else in my family has seen it, I don’t really care if you do.”

“Regardless I think I’ll just look away until you’re done.” Brittney busied herself changing out the dvds while Raquel quickly changed.

“Ok you’re good to look behind you,” Raquel said as she taped up her diaper. Brittney turned around in time to see Raquel stand up from the ground. Raquel decided to take the opportunity to grab a more comfortable shirt from her bag, putting the shirt and skirt she came in next to the bag. Brittney sat back down on her bed as Raquel changed shirts. Seeing Raquel in just her diaper brought memories of the last time Raquel was over into Brittney’s mind.

“Hey Rae?” Brittney asked.

“What’s up?” Raquel asked innocuously.

“You remember last time you were here.”

“Yeah,” Raquel answered as she put on some sweat pants. “I remember you kept me up all night asking weird questions about how my diapers felt.”

“Yeah, well I was curious. It’s not something I had ever thought about before, and it just seemed so normal to you.”

“I also remember you said you wouldn’t mind trying them out,” Raquel said as a joke.

“Well …” Brittney said trailing off embarrassed.

“You’re serious?” Raquel asked amazed.

“I’m just curious,” Brittney said defensively. “I just want to know what it feels like. And they’ve been in my closet since then so the curiosity hasn’t died down.”

“Ok,” Raquel said giggling. “Well I’m not going to stop you. Did you need help?”

“Yeah,” Brittney said quietly. “I just don’t know what the best way to put it on is.”

“I got you,” Raquel said happily. Raquel went to Brittney’s closet where several packages of diapers were stored while Brittney began to take off her pants down to her underwear. “Ok lay down,” Raquel said gently. Brittney obeyed slightly nervous. “Wow it’s kind of weird seeing it from this perspective.” Raquel said with a giggle.

“Well walk me through what to do. In case I want to try them again.”

“Been thinking about this a lot?” Raquel teased.

“Maybe,” Brittney admitted.

“Well the first thing I always do is stretch it out and then fold it long ways,” Raquel instructed. “Makes it fit better.” Raquel laid the diaper down near Brittney’s bottom and then removed her underwear as professionally as possible. “Now if it’s just you, you can just sit down in the middle, and adjust it until it feels right.” Raquel said as she lifted Brittney’s bottom and slid the diaper under it. “Normally you also wipe and put powder on, you don’t have to do it every time though.” Raquel said bringing the front of the diaper up. “Now pull it up as tight as possible. Start with the bottom tapes, angle them up, and then the top tapes angle them down. All set,” Raquel said as she finished. “Think you got it?”

“Yeah it didn’t seem too hard,” Brittney said standing up. “Two or three more times and I should have the hang of it.”

"Two or three more?" Raquel asked curiously. Brittney just smiled in response as she felt the outside of the diaper. “Well what do you think?”

“It’s not as different as I thought it would be. It’s definitely different though.” Brittney continued to make movements as she got a feel for it. As Brittney was getting a feel for it the girls were interrupted as Barbra barged in.

“Hey girls, I thought you guys might want some,” Barbra stopped mid-sentence on seeing her daughter in a diaper.

“Ah mom!” Brittney said shocked as she tried in vain to cover the diaper.

“Wow Raquel how did you convince her to do that?” Barbra asked jokingly. Raquel and Barbra shared a laugh as Brittney grew more embarrassed. “Glad to see you’re both having fun, I’ve got some pizza for you down stairs.”

“Thanks mom,” Brittney muttered mortified. Barbra left the room giggling and made her way downstairs.

“At least she was cool with it,” Raquel said optimistically.

“Yeah. Well I guess that pizza won’t eat itself,” Brittney said as she made her way out of her room.

“You going without pants?” Raquel asked following her friend.

“Well cats already out of the bag, and like you’re always saying these things are warm.” Raquel began to feel sympathetic toward her friend, so she quickly threw off the sweat pants she was wearing.

“There now we’re matching,” Raquel said as she caught up to Brittney who was already half way down the stairs. Brittney and Raquel happily made their way to the kitchen, Barbra was finishing up her own share of the pizza when they walked in.

“Looking good girls,” Barbra said jokingly. Raquel and Brittney both giggled. They both innocuously sat down and began eating their pizza. As they were finishing Barbra approached them. “Anything I need to be worried about Brittney?” Barbra asked. Brittney nodded her head no.

“No mom,” Brittney said whining a little. “I just didn’t want Raquel to feel weird being the only one in diapers.”

“Oh please,” Raquel fought back. “You were practically begging me. Please Raquel,” Raquel made fun of Brittney with a mocking voice. “Show me how to put them on. They look so comfy, and I’ve always been jealous of you.” Brittney blushed as Raquel wasn’t completely wrong.

“Well it’s ok if you want to try new things,” Barbra said motherly. “We might have to have a talk if you want this to be a regular thing though.”

“I don’t know if I like them that much,” Brittney said happily. “Maybe just when Raquel comes over.”

“Well that’s fine with me honey,” Barbra said sweetly. “You can always talk to me about it if you want to,” Barbra added, leaving the girls alone.

“So,” Raquel said deviously. “Have you thought about if you’re going to use it?”

“I have,” Brittney said plainly.

“And?”

“Well I don’t think I could truthfully say I gave them a shot if I didn’t.”

“I wouldn’t let you get away with it either,” Raquel said craftily.

“That too,” Brittney added. “Come on, we’ve got a movie to finish while we wait for nature to call.”

Raquel and Brittney finished the last horrible killer clown movie, which was a regrettably short tv special. Afterwards they decided to make smores on the Cheng’s back porch, since it was getting dark out. Brittney tried to convince her mother that her and Raquel were old enough to light and maintain a fire by themselves, but their attire did not help convincing her, so Barbra elected to sit outside with the girls. Raquel and Brittney talked about school and popular culture while roasting marshmallows over the fire. During the conversation Raquel had wet her diaper without really thinking about it. After she noticed it she reasoned that Brittney was probably about to follow suit. Sure enough there was a lull in the conversation and Brittney began fidgeting with a strained expression.

“Everything ok Birt?” Raquel asked in a way that let Brittney know Raquel knew what was going on.

“No,” Brittney said defeated. “I’ve got to go, but I just can’t let it out. I don’t if I’m going to be able to do it.”

“Well I give you credit for trying,” Raquel said happily.

"Thanks, it might take a bit before I can work up the nerve to actually do it," Brittney said getting up to go to the bathroom. As she walked into the house, Barbra, who was hiding behind the open door, jumped out and scared her daughter. Brittney let out a yelp and then froze holding her breath. After a few seconds of standing frozen Brittney let out her breath and grabbed her diaper. She looked back at her mother with her mouth open in a shocked expression. Barbra was worried for a moment that she may have over done it, but as Brittney got over the shock and playfully hit her mother giggling. Seeing that no harm was done Barbra gave her daughter a gentle pat on the bottom. Raquel, having seen what had happened walked over to Brittney.

“Well?” Raquel asked.

“Heart attack aside,” Brittney said jokingly. “It’s not bad. Felt kind of good actually.”

“Glad you liked it,” Raquel said giddy. “No one ever believes me when I tell them it feels good at first. I’m guessing you probably want a change though.”

“It can wait,” Brittney said plainly. “I thought I’d be grossed out by it, but it’s not that bad. It feels like I'd be wasting it if I changed now.”

“Girls,” Barbra said sing songy. “You two just look so stinking cute together,” She said getting her phone out. Brittney seized the opportunity to hug Raquel. Barbra took several pictures of the girls in different poses making different funny faces. Neither of them seemed concerned that all of the pictures made it pretty clear that they were both in wet diapers. When they were finished Raquel and Brittney were both looking over the pictures laughing, pointing out pictures that were their favorites. After an ok from Brittney Raquel sent the pictures to Jennifer who found them as funny and cute as Brittney and Raquel did.

“I think I’m going to run in for a change,” Raquel said with a laugh. “Remember, you promised me I could try out some of your underwear.”

“Wait really?” Brittney said following Raquel up to Brittney’s bedroom. “Have you really never worn regular underwear before?”

“Not that I can remember,” Raquel said quietly. “I’ve always been too scared I’d have an accident. That being said pick out a pair you don’t mind being ruined.” Brittney sighed as she ran in front of Raquel. She dug through her drawers until she found some undies she didn’t mind throwing away, white ones with hearts on them that she wore when she was younger. Raquel excitedly took them and began changing into them. As she got them on she made moves similar to the ones Brittney made when she first tried on a diaper. “Wow, they’re so thin, it’s like nothings there.”

“It’s more like your diapers are thick,” Brittney corrected.

“I don’t think I could wear these all of the time. Feels so empty.”

“Want to change back?”

“No it’s different, I want to wear them a little longer if that’s ok. I’ll try and keep my mind on my bladder so I don’t ruin them.”

“Its fine,” Brittney said with a hand wave. “I’m a little too old for those anyway, so no skin off my bones if they end up in the trash.”

“Hey Brit,” Raquel began. “Can I try on skinny jeans?” Raquel asked hopefully.

“What?” Brittney said shocked. “Why?”

“I’ve never been able to fit in them. Diapers are too big.”

“Well you’re not missing much,” Brittney said as she threw a random pair at Raquel. “I’d almost be happy if you wet those. I am so glad I’m over them.” Raquel began struggling to get into the jeans as Brittney was talking.

“Am I doing something wrong?” Raquel asked struggling with one of the pant legs.

“No you just have to be rough with it,” Brittney encouraged. After a good deal of struggling Raquel managed to fit into the jeans. Her face lit up with a smile when she got them on. “You like them?” Brittney asked.

“No they feel terrible. I can barely breathe and I feel like I’m losing circulation to my legs, but I feel normal for once.” Raquel ogled herself in Brittney’s mirror, almost crying at the lack of a noticeable diaper bulge, or the fact the pants weren’t incredibly baggy. She mentally saved the image of what she would look like if she was a normal girl.

“Raquel?” Brittney asked causing Raquel to snap out of her trance, and notice the growing wet sensation.

“Oh shoot,” Raquel exclaimed as she ran to Brittney’s bathroom and hopped into her bathtub. With no padding, Raquel soaked though the underwear and stood embarrassed as the urine ran down the legs of the jeans and pooled into the tub she was standing in. The jeans changed color as they grew wet. Raquel could do nothing but wait until she finished. When she was finally done the jeans were absolutely soaked, with a very revealing wet spot in the center and down one side of both legs. “Sorry,” Raquel said as Brittney walked in to see her.

“Don’t worry about it,” Brittney said seriously. “Raquel do you really feel like you’re not normal?” Brittney asked seriously. Raquel turned away ashamed. Despite Raquel’s urine soaked jeans Brittney gave her friend a hug. “Raquel you’re one of the nicest, most sincere persons I know. Please don’t beat yourself up over not being normal. Heck normal people should be striving to be more like you,” Raquel turned away shyly not convinced. “Look we both just took a bunch of pictures goofing off in wet diapers, and we had fun. It wasn’t normal, yeah, but who cares. Don’t worry about being like everyone else, you’re fine the way you are.”

“Ok,” Raquel said quietly. “You’re right, I shouldn’t worry about that kind of stuff so much. I just can’t help it sometimes. Thanks for letting me try these on though, sorry I ruined them.”

“They’re just clothes,” Brittney said dismissively. Raquel struggled to get out of the soaked jeans and underwear. Once she was free she excused herself to change back into the security of a diaper. Despite how nice it felt to be wearing regular underwear, Raquel didn’t feel right without the extra padding. She helped Brittney throw the jeans and underwear away, and clean up the small stains she left on the carpet and cleaned out the bathtub where thankfully most of the accident was contained.

Brittney and Raquel enjoyed a little more time together, after a few hours they grew tired. They each took turns changing each other into clean diapers, having gotten over their initial shyness after all the bonding they had done that night, and soon began to fall asleep in Brittney’s bed.

So the reason that I decided to cut this was mostly because I didn't want characters to be wearing diapers for no reason, even if it was crazy cute. Another reason was, that as much fun as the scene is, it doesn't really add anything to or progress the plot at all. The only thing it does is show some bonding between Raquel and Brittney. Originally it was a part of that first sleepover too, and that was already a really long scene, and it didn't make logical sense that they would be able to fit in all the scheming they do and all of the diaper antics in one night, plus the tonal shift would be crazy bouncing between cute diaper fun and serious scheming by Brittney. All of that made it a perfect candidate for a bonus chapter though. Hope you guys enjoyed it.

Content: Bonus Chapter 2

Ok another preface to this one. This chapter takes place in between chapters 15 and 16. In chapter 15 Raquel had just come back from visiting her father in prison, and, after spending time with Kelsey, Raquel allowed Kelsey to change her diaper for the first time. In this chapter though it ends differently. Instead of letting Kelsey change her Raquel sort of shuts down at being asked and it doesn't happen. I go over it a little more in the first few chapters. Enjoy.

Raquel quietly followed Kelsey after cheer practice. Kelsey noticed that Raquel still seemed quiet and a little shaken from the encounter with her father the day before, though she seemed to be coming out of it. Kelsey had attempted to make her feel better by offering to change her diaper for her. Raquel refused, and abruptly put an end to what was a cheerful night between the two, though Kelsey did stay the night into the next morning. Kelsey cursed herself for even suggesting that. To be fair she didn’t know that it was such a touchy subject for Raquel, as she had heard Raquel off handedly mention that most people she knows have changed her, so her sense of privacy was almost gone. It was though, and attempting to breach this personal sanctity she had while she was vulnerable caused her to immediately retract and shut Kelsey out. Kelsey couldn’t blame her, she did cross the line, and had been quietly giving Raquel her space today as penance, but now she could Raquel was slowly returning to normal, and thought now was the time to apologize.

Kelsey and Raquel entered Kelsey’s car. Kelsey started it but didn’t immediately drive off. She waited in the parking lot for a few minutes before abruptly starting the conversation she wanted to have with Raquel.

“Honey,” Kelsey began nervously. “I just wanted to say, I’m sorry I brought up changing you last night. I didn’t think it was that big of a deal to you, and I didn’t mean it this way, but it came off like I was taking advantage of you during a bad time.” Raquel quietly looked up at Kelsey.

“Don’t be sorry,” Raquel said quietly. “You didn’t mean anything bad by it, and I shouldn’t have shut you out like I did. You were only trying to help, I should have been more open and talked to you about it.”

“Want to talk about it now?” Raquel looked at Kelsey inquisitively.

“I guess we can.”

“Ok,” Kelsey began seriously. “I guess I just want to know why you don’t want me to change your diapers. I know about them, and you’ve said that you don’t really care if I see down there or not. Do you just not trust me? Are you afraid that this is just some kind of elaborate trick I’m playing on you?” Raquel was uncomfortably quiet. “Please be honest with me.”

“Yes!” Raquel blurted defensively. “Yes you’re right, you happy?”

“No! Do you know how ridiculous that sounds,” Kelsey said more accusatory. “We both agreed that we had something special, that we wanted to be together.”

“I know its ridiculous Kelsey,” Raquel yelled back. “But you blackmailed me with my diapers. How do you expect me to just let you change me after what you did? It’s going to take time.”

“Oh please. Raquel I’ve apologized over and over. You kicked me off the squad, humiliated me in front of all them, and got them all to hate me.”

“And I let you back on. I mended the bridge between you and the rest of the squad, or I’ve tried my best to. Besides I don’t know why you’re blaming me for something that’s your fault!”

“I know it’s my fault, it’s all my fault everything’s my fault!”

“Everything is not your fault Kelsey!” Raquel and Kelsey stopped as Raquel said this, as they had been yelling loudly and it had caught up to them. “Listen honey,” Raquel said sweetly. “Everything is not your fault. And I don’t hate you, even if you did that to me. I forgive you.”

“I can’t ever say sorry enough for that,” Kelsey said sadly.

“You don’t have to.”

“Yes I do. You’re still hung up on it, and there has to be something I can do to prove to you that I only want the best for you. So what do I have to do for you to trust me?” Kelsey said with sincerity.

Raquel looked into Kelsey’s eyes and found them deeply supportive and endearing. She asked with such enthusiasm and sincerity, that Raquel had already forgiven her, and already made up her mind that she would let Kelsey change her. She also knew that unless Kelsey did do something to prove her worth, allowing Kelsey to change her diapers now would only make things worse. She would think that Raquel was just giving in, and letting Kelsey exert her will over Raquel. Plus, it presented an opportunity for the two to become closer, as acts of romantic passion tended to do.

“There is something you can do,” Raquel said slyly. “Take me home and I’ll tell you.”

Kelsey and Raquel made their usual idle conversation on the way back to Raquel’s house. Despite the hostility of their conversation, the displaying of raw emotions had mended their relationship from Raquel’s slightly depressive episode upon meeting her father. Raquel cautiously opened the door to the house with her keys. As she had suspected she beat Jennifer home, she was greeted by Erica and Andy running up and hugging her.

“Sissy!” They said in unison.

“Ahh there’s my brother and sister,” Raquel said with a growl hugging the two. The three of them became one large singular being made of giggles as they embraced in a hug. “Sorry I’m late getting home, you guys didn’t burn the house down while I was gone did you?”

“Aww come on Raquel we’re not little kids anymore,” Andy complained.

“I know,” Raquel said defensively.

“Well then why is the babysitter back,” Erica said gesturing to Kelsey. Kelsey over dramatically faked being offended.

“You say that like I’m not the best baby sitter ever,” Kelsey said happily. “Come on I know you miss me.” Erica and Andy moved from Raquel to Kelsey and embraced her in a hug. “I’m not here to babysit, unless you want me to. I’m here to see your sister.”

“Kelsey and Raquel sitting in a tree,” Erica began.

“Yeah yeah,” Kelsey said with a smirk.

“You two be good down here or I’ll send Kelsey down to straighten you out,”
Raquel said playfully.

“And I don’t play,” Kelsey said jokingly. Eric and Andy ran off to the living room while Raquel and Kelsey continued up to Raquel’s room. Raquel quietly shut the door and the mood grew more serious.

“So,” Raquel said sitting on her bed.

“So,” Kelsey mimicked with a gulp.

“I’ve thought about it,” Raquel said as she began looking through her closet. “I know of something you can do.”

“Anything,” Kelsey said seriously. “I just want to make it up to you.” Raquel returned holding one of her more babyish looking diapers in her hand. It was white, with blue trim around the wings and leg guards, the center had an all over design with large cute animals and stars that faded when wet. Kelsey took a gulp as she realized what was coming.

“Wear this for a day, and then I’ll let you change me,” Raquel said seriously. Kelsey grabbed the diaper nervously.

“Do I have to use it?” Raquel nodded yes authoritatively.

“I want you to know what it’s like to walk a mile in my shoes, or diaper rather.”

“Ok,” Kelsey said with determination.

“And I get to change you, and take pictures,” Raquel added quickly.

“Pictures?” Kelsey began, but she stopped when Raquel gave her a serious angry look. “No, no you’re right I get it.” Kelsey nervously began taking off her pants while Raquel got her changing mat from under her bed. Kelsey gingerly laid down on it. Raquel ran the strap across Kelsey’s waist and put her hands in the cuffs at the top.

“Comfortable?” Raquel asked devilishly as she removed Kelsey’s underwear. Kelsey blushed deeply. “Raise up,” Raquel commanded. Kelsey meekly obeyed as Raquel slid the thick diaper underneath her. Kelsey tried to get a feel for the diaper laying down but couldn’t get much success. Raquel gently wiped Kelsey with baby wipes and applied baby powder, making a show of both to Kelsey. Raquel then tightly taped the diaper up, releasing Kelsey when she finished. Raquel thought Kelsey might try to move around and get a feel for it. She just stood still with her hand nervously over her mouth. “Kelsey,” Raquel said snapping Kelsey out of her trance.

“Sorry I was just,” Kelsey began but she stopped. She looked at herself in Raquel’s mirror, seeing the reflection of her in just her t-shirt and the very childish diaper. Looking at herself like that made Kelsey feel small, and weak, but also oddly protected as Raquel looked on approvingly.

“You ok?” Raquel asked.

“Yeah,” Kelsey said quietly. “Does it look right?” Raquel answered by kissing Kelsey lightly on the cheek.

“Yes it does,” Raquel answered with a giggle. “So it’s not as bad as you thought it would be right.”

“No,” Kelsey answered honestly. “But they are really thick, it’s kind of hard to walk.”

“I picked the biggest ones I have,” Raquel said with a sly giggle. “Don’t worry about it, you get used to it and it won’t bother you as much.” Raquel lifted her skirt to reveal she was wearing the same kind of diaper as Kelsey. “See I’m in one of those too, and I can walk just fine.”

“Yeah but you wear them all of the time.”

“Not these in particular,” Raquel corrected. “These are thick even for me. I don’t wear them that often, and usually only at night. I’ll make an exception so you don’t feel so bad about it.”

“Thanks,” Kelsey said sarcastically. Raquel gently handed Kelsey some sweatpants to cover her diaper.

By this time Jennifer had come home from work, Raquel and Kelsey emerged from Raquel’s room as Jennifer was coming in.

“Nice to see you again Kelsey,” Jennifer said surprised.

“I hope I’m not too much of a bother?” Kelsey said asking permission.

“It’s no problem dear, just be sure to call your parents and make sure it’s ok. How was your day at school?”

“Same old same old,” Raquel said with a sigh as Jennifer planted a kiss on her forehead.

“The twins doing well?”

"Last time I checked.”

“You didn’t watch them?” Jennifer asked sternly.

“You know how they’ve been since Cameron got Kelsey to babysit,” Raquel responded defensively. “I’m not starting that argument again. Besides they’re big enough to watch themselves.” Kelsey nodded in agreement.

“They didn’t take it too well when they figured out I’d been called to babysit,” Kelsey added. “They were fine otherwise took care of themselves.”

“Well you got out of it this time thanks to your backup,” Jennifer said defeated. “What do you girls want to eat?”

“I was going to cook Kelsey some chicken Alfredo,” Raquel said fancy.

“Ooo,” Jennifer said happily. “What’d Kelsey do to get you to cook for her?”

“She let me put her in one of my diapers,” Raquel said plainly as she was getting ready to cook. Kelsey couldn’t hide the honesty of Raquel’s statement because of her shocked and embarrassed reaction.

“Raquel!” Kelsey complained. Jennifer laughed.

“How did she convince you Kelsey?” Kelsey was still silent from embarrassment.

“She wanted to change me,” Raquel answered.

“Oh?” Jenifer responded curiously.

“I thought that she should wear one before she put one on me.” Kelsey was mortified with embarrassment, she nervously fidgeted with her shirt through the whole conversation. Thankfully for her Raquel left out the bit about Kelsey blackmailing Raquel with a picture of her in a diaper being a big part of it. Jennifer did not seem the type who would take kindly to someone doing that to her family. “I do think she’s being a good sport about it though, so she deserves a nice meal at the least,” Raquel said as she finished her cooking. Raquel become putting some of the pasta onto some plates.

“Well let’s see what it looks like Kelsey,” Jennifer said with a more soft tone. Kelsey continued to be embarrassed but slowly dropped her sweat pants to reveal the diaper. “Those look so cute on you,” Jennifer said nicely, figuring she should complement Kelsey after all the embarrassment she just went through. “I thought those were really cute when I was ordering them. I thought you said they were too thick?” Jennifer questioned Raquel.

“Well they are, but today is a special occasion,” Raquel said sneakily. “Plus they’re starting to grow on me.” Kelsey was beginning to pull her sweat pants back up, but before she could the twins came running in smelling the food. They gasped when they saw that Kelsey was wearing a diaper.

“Kelsey wears diapers too!” Andy said suddenly. Kelsey quickly finished pulling the sweatpants up.

“No well yes but I,” Kelsey stammered nervously.

“Erica Andy,” Raquel said sternly. “Now Kelsey doesn’t need diapers, but she’s wearing them because she wants to know what I feel like every day ok, and mom and I have already embarrassed her enough so I don’t want to hear it from you two understand.”

“Yes Sis,” Eric and Andy said in unison.

“Ok I made you two some plates,” Raquel said sweetly handing the twins food. Kelsey followed in behind them and Raquel handed her a plate. She gave Kelsey a kiss before they made their way to the dining room table.

“Thanks for being a good sport,” Raquel said lovingly.

“It’s all in good fun right?” Kelsey said quietly.

“Yes it is,” Raquel said seriously kissing Kelsey again to remind her of how Raquel felt about her. The Coopers and Kelsey enjoyed a nice meal thanks to Raquel, with most of the conversation centered on how school was going for everyone, and if Kelsey had any colleges in mind. Once everyone was finished Raquel grabbed all of the plates. Kelsey got up to use the bathroom, but was immediately reminded of the diaper she was wearing when she started to move. Kelsey couldn’t believe how, given how thick they were, but she had forgotten during the dinner conversation that she was even wearing it. She quietly followed Raquel into the kitchen not sure of what to do.

“Need to use the bathroom?” Raquel asked having noticed Kelsey following her. “You’re not getting out of using your diaper.”

“I know,” Kelsey said quickly. “I just don’t know if I can. Kelsey was visibly fidgeting, the pressure to go was clear, but she couldn’t get past the mental barricade to use her diaper. Raquel quickly finished giving the dishes a light rinse and walked to Kelsey.

“Let’s go upstairs,” Raquel said taking Kelsey’s hand. “I’ll try and coach you through it.” As Raquel and Kelsey made their way to Raquel’s room they were stopped by Jennifer.

“Girls,” Jennifer called. “I’m going to put a movie on after the twin’s finish their homework so don’t be too long.” Raquel nodded and continued her way to her room, leaving the door only slightly ajar when she arrived. Kelsey was moving around nervously.

“Ok first thing is you need to lose my sweat pants,” Raquel said seriously. “The longer you hold it in the more likely they are to leak, and you look like you’ve been holding it in for a while.”

“It’s not like I’m meaning to,” Kelsey whined, as she removed the pants.

“I know, I’m not saying that you are,” Raquel said as she took off the sweat pants she was wearing revealing her diaper that, if the absence of stars were to be believed, was very wet. “See look, I’m leaving it out in the open too, no judgement here.” Raquel sat on her bed and invited Kelsey to sit on her lap. Kelsey quickly obliged, the strain from her holding it making it hard for her to move slowly. “Just hold still and let it happen,” Raquel said gently. She grabbed Kelsey’s wrists with her hands, and clamped down tightly on Kelsey’s legs with her own legs. With Raquel holding her back Kelsey couldn’t fidget around, and was losing her ability to hold it. Kelsey groaned as her body was slowly losing the battle to hold it in. Finally with a huff she lost, and the liquid could be audibly heard hitting the diaper.

“Oh thank god,” Kelsey said under her breathe thankful for the relief. She found that once the mental barrier had been broken once, it didn’t pose as much of a problem. Raquel stood Kelsey up off of her bed.

“Keep your legs together tight,” Raquel instructed. “You’re probably going to flood it and you don’t want to leak everywhere.”

“What do you mean?” Kelsey asked concerned, as she was remarkably still going.

“You’re not meant to go that much all at once, you held it in too long, it’s not going to have time to absorb it all right away.” Kelsey could feel a puddle begin to form inside the diaper.

“Gross,” She exclaimed.

“I know,” Raquel sympathized. “Most of the time it won’t be this bad. Just stay still for a minute until it soaks everything up. Kelsey listened. She stood straight legs closed tightly and hands clenched in a fist. After about 45 seconds she stopped peeing, a sizable liquid puddle had collected inside the diaper, but as Raquel said it was slowly begin absorbed. Kelsey waited until she felt like it was all gone. She cautiously spread her legs, the diaper fell sagging in response. Kelsey felt a few drops run down her legs, but it appeared that most of it was contained.

“Aww,” Kelsey whined.

“I know,” Raquel giggled. “It’s usually not that bad though I promise. As long as you don’t hold it in for too long that won’t happen.” Raquel hugged Kelsey and gave her a loving kiss.

“Can I get a change now or do I have to wait?” Kelsey said jokingly.

“No you need a change now,” Raquel said giggling. “We both do probably.” Raquel grabbed two more of the same diaper, and motioned for Kelsey to lay down, and began to diaper her similarly to how she had earlier, only a good deal faster this time. She finished with Kelsey and sent her off with a loving pat on the butt. “Go ahead and head down, I’ll be there in a bit,” Raquel said laying on the changing mat. Kelsey gave a loving smile and made her way back into the living room. The twins were already snuggled together under a blanket at one end of the couch, Jennifer was at the other end. The dvd was sitting idle on the main menu screen.

“Where’s Raquel?” Jennifer asked.

“Getting changed,” Kelsey said casually.

“I hope you already have,” Jennifer said motherly.

“Yes ma’am,” Kelsey responded.

“Good. You stay too long in those and you’ll get a rash. Especially someone like you whose skin isn’t as used to it. You two can have your fun but stay safe.” Kelsey took a seat in between Jennifer in the twins, as she was getting comfortable she was joined by Raquel who had brought a blanket from upstairs, which she used to snuggle herself and Kelsey together warmly.

Everyone began watching the movie, a mediocre comedy about a poorly planned wedding. The twins and Jennifer were conversing about the plot of the movie, while Raquel and Kelsey stayed quiet, content with the closeness they had with each other. By the end of the movie, the twins had fallen asleep, Raquel and Kelsey were quickly on their way. Raquel had propped her head under Kelsey’s armpit, and Kelsey was laying her own head on top of Raquel’s.

“Off to bed you two,” Jennifer suddenly snapped at Raquel and Kelsey. The two shot awake from their near sleep. They quickly got up and began folding their blanket up. Jennifer, being the mother she is took the time to check diapers. Both Raquel and Kelsey were wet, it seemed Kelsey had broken through her earlier mental barrier easily as no one noticed her have difficulty using her diaper the second time.

“Come on let’s get you girls changed for bed,” Jennifer said as she made her way to Raquel’s room. Raquel and Kelsey followed sheepishly.

Jennifer started changing Raquel while Kelsey absent mindedly began brushing her teeth. She finished in time to see Raquel stand up in a clean diaper and make her own way to the bathroom. Jennifer motioned for Kelsey to come over next. Kelsey briefly looked around nervously.

“It’s ok I won’t bite,” Jennifer said calmly. Kelsey laid down on the changing mat embarrassed. Jennifer seemed to pay it no mind, she effortlessly changed Kelsey’s diaper. “See not so bad,” Jennifer said calmly.

“Yeah I guess you’re right,” Kelsey said warming up to this treatment.

“Nah she’s the best,” Raquel said tiredly getting into her bed. “You’ve got a lot of work to fill her shoes.”

“Thanks honey,” Jennifer said giving Raquel a kiss on the forehead before leaving the room.

Kelsey grabbed the air mattress she slept on last night that was still aired up, and set it parallel to Raquel’s bed, and Raquel turned out the lamp that was the only light source left in the room.

“Hey babe,” Raquel mumbled.

“Yeah,” Kelsey answered.

“You don’t have to wear them to school tomorrow.”

“What?” Kelsey asked in disbelief.

“You don't have to wear diapers to school tomorrow. You’ve suffered enough already,” Raquel clarified. “I’ll let you change me now, whenever you want. No more diaper wearing required.”

“Thanks Raquel,” Kelsey said happily. “But you know it’s not so bad. I think I can wear them at school tomorrow. Besides you never got to take your embarrassing pictures of me.” Raquel turned her lamp back on and turned over to look at Kelsey.

“Kelsey you really don’t. It’s not going to make me think any more or less of you.”

“I know,” Kelsey replied. “But I agreed to one day in diapers, and I do not go back on my word.”

“Stubborn as ever,” Raquel laughed.

So the biggest reason this chapter got cut was because it made Raquel seem remarkably petty to me. While I do think it's a fair thing to ask Kelsey to try diapers for herself, to maybe get some perspective of how horrible she was acting, a this point Kelsey has apologized numerous times and had realized how wrong she was. So Raquel asking Kelsey to go through a trial to earn the right to change her diaper seemed unneeded. It also shook up their dynamic in a way I didn't really like. I liked it because I always thought that it sort of flipped the roles of dominance in a diaper change, usually the one changing is in charge. In this case it's reversed. Raquel has Kelsey pretty well wrapped around her finger with these by the end of it. Kelsey changes Raquel's diaper whenever she asks her to without much resistance. To the point where Kelsey brings it up when they have their fight at the end of the sleepover arc. I'm finding it difficult to explain exactly how, but this scene messed that up to me, maybe it makes the dynamic too on the nose. And like the last bonus chapter, it felt like I had characters in diapers for the sake of them being in diapers which is something I tried to avoid. Also you'll notice that it kind of ends with Kelsey saying she would wear them to school tomorrow and there were no Kelsey in diapers at school adventures. This is a result of extreme writers block on my part. I scrapped this idea before I could think of something fun to happen while Kelsey was diapered at school, and since this wasn't going to be in the final cut I didn't go back to it. All that said hope you guys enjoyed it.

Content: Bonus Chapter 3

So unlike the other bonus chapters this one does not take place in an au. This one takes place after everything else. Also just forewarning that this is a lot, like a looooot more ab/dl than the rest of the story, so if that's not something you're looking for you may want to look away. Also going to take this time to remind you that this still isn't cannon. with that said enjoy.

Raquel waited nervously on Kelsey’s sofa as she was busily packing some clothes in the same room.

“What’s wrong?” Kelsey asked innocently.

“I’m just nervous.” Raquel said quickly.

“Why are you nervous?” Kelsey asked sweetly.

“Why wouldn’t I be?” Raquel questioned, a little aggravated. “We’re going to play baby with Sadie.”

“Why would that make you nervous?” Kelsey asked packing the last of her clothes up. “We both agreed to try it. And we both said that we might like it.”

“I know we did, but it’s still a little weird for me.”

“I don’t know why you're the one that's nervous between the two of us,” Kelsey said quietly.

“I don’t appreciate that,” Raquel said with a huff.

“Ok sorry,” Kelsey said apologetically. “Look just try not to worry about it,” Kelsey said rubbing Raquel’s shoulders comfortingly. “Sadie said that her sister would be there, and she’s inviting Samantha and her sister too. So we’ve got plenty of people there to help us ease into it.” Raquel moaned nervously. “It will be fine,” Kelsey said giving Raquel a kiss. “And if you don’t like it, it’s just for the weekend so you won’t have to do it for too long.” Raquel sighed.

“I’ll be ok,” Raquel said quietly.

“You will because I’ll be there for you the whole time,” Kelsey said happily. “Now try and smile. Sadie will be here to pick us up any minute” Almost on queue Sadie happily knocked on the door. When Kelsey opened it the two immediately embraced in a happy, giggly hug.

“I am so excited,” Sadie said squeaking.

“I am too,” Kelsey said giddily. “This is going to be so much fun.” Raquel quietly began picking up her and Kelsey’s bags and loading them into Sadie’s truck. Sadie took one of Raquel’s bags with a smile and helped her put everything up.

“Mom’s going to some kind of conference this weekend,” Sadie began. “So it’ll just us baby sisters and our baby sitters,” Sadie finished with a giggle.

“Who are you calling baby sister, I’m definitely older in real life and pretend,” Kelsey countered.

“Wait a second,” Raquel stopped. “I’m confused.”

“What’s up?” Kelsey asked in a happy mood.

“I thought I was going to be playing the baby.”

“Huh?” Kelsey asked confused. “Didn’t I tell you?”

“You were never specific about it. I just assumed I was going to be the baby. Already half way there and what not.”

“Oh,” Kelsey said embarrassed. “Well no, I thought me and Sadie would. I’m sorry.”

“No no it’s fine,” Raquel said suddenly becoming a lot happier. “I’d much rather be the one in charge.”

“You sure it’s not going to be a bother?” Kelsey asked.

“No,” Raquel said with a laugh. “I change my own diaper all the time, changing yours should be no problem, and I basically take care of you anyways. Fix all of your meals, help you clean up.”

“Alright alright don’t rub it in.” Kelsey giggled as they all entered Sadie’s truck.

“Kelsey is definitely the baby between the two of you. Raquel has you whipped girl,” Sadie said jokingly.

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Kelsey questioned,

“Hush,” Raquel commanded, playing her role up. “You know it’s true.”

The three enjoyed a quick ride to Sadie’s house. It was about the size of Raquel’s house, possibly a little bigger, difficult to tell since it was one story and Raquel’s was two. Sadie pulled her truck just outside of the door. Between the three of them they managed to get all of Raquel and Kelsey’s things in one trip. Sadie stopped in front of her door.

“Ok Kelsey you ready?” Sadie asked.

“Quit being so serious you dork!” Kelsey snapped back. Sadie sighed and opened the door. She sat the bags just inside of the door, she was quickly greeted by Abby and Samantha, and Katie who was shyly hiding behind Samantha. Abby was the most boldly dressed of the three, wearing just a plain white t-shirt and a cloth diaper that was extremely thick, and covered in a pair of pink plastic pants, adorned with white frills and a pink bow on the back. Samantha had on a black spaghetti strap top and a plain white skirt that covered to her knees. Though she was hard to see hiding behind her sister, Katie was wearing shortalls with a cartoon bird embroidered on the front, and buttons on the crotch for easy diaper access in the likely event she needed to be changed. Katie was wearing a onesie underneath the shortalls with an animal pattern and was currently nervously suckling a pacifier attached to the shortalls by a green pacifier clip.

Abby and Katie were about as short as Raquel and Kelsey, though it was clear to both Raquel and Kelsey that they were both just late bloomers, and would likely grow past them with enough time. Abby had dim red hair, and Katie had dirty blonde hair similar to Sadie’s. While Sadie remained the tallest of all of them Samantha wasn’t that far behind her. They were both average height, with Samantha being a little thinner than Sadie, so they stood about a foot taller than everyone else. Samantha’s hair was black, but unlike Raquel’s it shined a bit in the light, where Raquel’s didn’t have any shine to it at all.

“Is this the new one for the weekend?” Abby asked gesturing to Kelsey.

“Kelsey,” Kelsey answered.

“Abby,” Abby replied. “And that’s Samantha, and the shy one hiding behind her is Katie.” Samantha tried to get Katie to say his, but Katie nervously buried her face in Samantha’s back.

“I’m Raquel,” Raquel offered. “I’m Kelsey’s girlfriend, and apparently her mommy as well. Your sister has told me a lot about you.”

“She’s told a lot of people about me apparently,” Abby said a little annoyed. “But it’s not like I’m trying to hide it anymore.”

“That’s great,” Raquel said happily. “I was hoping we could talk later though, because I’m the same. We both need diapers.”

“Wow really?” Abby said happily. “I never thought I’d get to meet someone else who actually needs them like I do.”

“Me neither,” Raquel said with excitement.

“We can do that later though,” Abby said happily. “Now we’ve got to get the new baby changed. She’s not even wearing a diaper she could have an accident at any moment.” Sadie giggled at Kelsey’s misfortune, but she was stopped by Abby wagging a finger at her. “You shouldn’t be laughing missy. Do you think that outfit is appropriate for someone your age?” Sadie looked at her rather innocuous outfit. A plaid skirt and a concert tee, Kelsey was wearing something similar, but jeans instead of a skirt. Sadie knew that really Abby just wanted her into something cuter. Abby grabbed Sadie by the hand and lead her to the girls bed rooms, Raquel followed suit. Katie hid behind Samantha as they passed.

“There’s a changing table in my room and one in Sadie’s room,” Abby explained. “I’ll take Sadie into mine, and you two can use Sadie’s. There’s plenty of clothes in the closet, you guys can pick out your favorite outfit."

Raquel and Kelsey made their way into Sadie’s room. Kelsey looked over Raquel’s shoulder as she looked through Sadie’s closet.

“We might have been better off looking in Abby’s closet for something,” Raquel said sadly. “I don’t think any of these will fit.”

“That one that one,” Kelsey said pointing to a smaller onesie. Raquel pulled it out. It was a light green and had a pattern of yellow frogs on it. Kelsey clapped happily at the onesie.

“Ok but first we need to get you diapered,” Raquel said clearing off space on Sadie’s changing table. Kelsey slowly laid herself down on it, Raquel quickly secured Kelsey in the straps, one going across her chest, and two more securing her wrists above her head. Kelsey seemed nervous as Raquel began to remove her pants, thinking quickly Raquel found a nearby pacifier. After a quick trip to the nearby bathroom, running the pacifier under some hot water, she returned and offered it to Kelsey who hesitantly accepted it. Kelsey was a bit surprised at how effective the soother was. Raquel continued to change her into one of Sadie’s babyish diapers. Kelsey was so enthralled with her pacifier that she didn’t even notice that Raquel had finished so she jumped a little with surprise when Raquel helped her off of the changing table.

As Kelsey was standing up Raquel helped her out of her shirt. Kelsey looked at herself in a nearby mirror, completely naked except for the diaper and the pacifier she was still lovingly suckling. The diaper was white, with faint pink and blue stripes circling the diaper around the legs guards, and had a plastic landing strip decorated with a single pink cartoon bear. Kelsey giggled looking at herself, and slowly getting into the mindset. Her giggling was stopped by Raquel suddenly and quickly dressed her into the onesie. Kelsey gave a vaguely complaining muffle as Raquel was beginning to snap the onesie closed.

“I can’t let you run around here naked,” Raquel said sternly. “Not only would it be rude, but you’d also catch a cold.” Kelsey hugged Raquel sweetly. “I know love you too,” Raquel replied holding Kelsey’s hand as they made their way back to the living room with the others. Abby and Sadie had finished first, as Sadie didn’t need to be put into a diaper just change clothes. Sadie had donned a short pink dress that was princess themed. It cinched about three inches above her waist and the skirt didn’t extend far so her diaper was completely exposed, though that seemed to have been the intention. Sadie was standing around waiting for Kelsey to come out, while Katie was playing with a stuffed toy near Samantha. Sadie squealed happily and she and Kelsey embraced in a giggly hug. Raquel came in behind Kelsey with a good deal less fanfare.

“Before you two start getting distracted,” Samantha began seriously. “Kelsey we expect you to behave and follow rules.”

“I know Sam I can be good,” Kelsey said innocently.

“I’m sure you will be, but if you’re anything like Sadie or Katie you may get carried away.”

“Yeah it’s easy to lose yourself a little,” Sadie admitted.

“So if you’re going to play along,” Abby interjected coming in from the kitchen. “You’re going to have to agree to punishments for when you act up.” Kelsey looked at Raquel nervously. Raquel nodded quietly, saying that she agreed to the deal.

“It’s usually just some corner time for you to calm down,” Samantha said calmly. “Or some extra time in a dirty diaper.”

“Usually?” Kelsey questioned nervously.

“Well this is up to Raquel,” Abby began seriously. “But if you’re really bad she might want to spank you.” Kelsey looked at Raquel nervously. Raquel was conflicted. While normally spanking Kelsey would be an appealing thought, in this scenario Raquel found that she’d rather not have to do it, and hoped she wouldn’t have to.

“It almost never comes to that,” Samantha said reassuringly. “Sadie’s never been spanked, and I’ve only had to spank Katie once. She might not show it now, but she can be rowdy when she’s hyper.” Katie buried her head in Samantha’s leg.

“SAM!” Katie whined embarrassed. Samantha giggled and let Katie sit pouting in her lap.

“Hey enough of that stuff though,” Abby said changing the mood. “I’ve got bottles for all of the little ones.” Sadie and Katie beamed happily at this news, Kelsey remained a little unsure. Abby handed a bottle to Samantha, Katie bouncing excitedly near her, and one to Raquel who took it cautiously. Raquel and Kelsey looked on as Katie and Sadie settled into Abby and Samantha’s laps. Raquel and Kelsey looked at each other, before trying themselves.

It took a few tries for Kelsey to find the right position in Raquel’s lap, but once she found it she settled in with a smile. Raquel put the nipple of the bottle in Kelsey’s mouth. Much like finding a cozy spot in Raquel’s lap, it took Kelsey a few tries to get the rhythm of suckling the bottle right. She eventually found it though and was drinking happily from the bottle. Kelsey and Raquel both felt a feeling of warmness as Kelsey drank the bottle. Raquel smiled on as she watched Kelsey finish the last of the bottle, and couldn’t resist planting a kiss on her forehead when she finished.

Once Kelsey was finished, Raquel led her over to where Sadie and Katie were playing with stuffed animals, having a pretend tea party with them. Kelsey happily joined them, struggling a bit to get into the groove that Sadie and Katie had, not helped by how shy Katie was being. With encouragement from Sadie though, and careful cheering by Samantha to get Katie to open up, Kelsey was finding her place. Raquel took the time while the three were distracted to talk to Abby who was watching nearby.

“Having fun?” Abby asked coolly.

“Surprisingly,” Raquel said happily. “You know when Kelsey first told me Sadie wanted us to come over, I thought I’d be the one playing baby.”

“That’s funny,” Abby giggled.

“So what kind of diaper is that?” Raquel questioned. “Is that a cloth diaper?” Raquel had heard about cloth diapers, but had never had the opportunity to try them. .

“Yeah,” Abby said doing a little twirl. “You ever tried them?”

“No. never really had the chance to. Foster care and all. They look crazy thick.”

“They are,” Abby answered. “They are. It’s almost like wearing a towel, and that’s without adding any stuffers to it.”

“Stuffers?”

“Extra layers, so they can hold more. I’ve got three stuffers in this one, and it usually lasts me half of the day,” Abby removed her plastic pants so Raquel could look at the diaper itself. It was a once white, but now noticeably stained, large piece of cloth, folded into shape and pinned on with large safety pins. “They make cloth pull ups, and ones that have a Velcro outer part to get on easier. That’s what I usually wear, but I was feeling the plain cloth today,” Abby said pulling her plastic pants back up.

“Wow. I might have to get some to try for myself.”

“I actually prefer them to regular diapers myself, even if they are a little more work. You have to clean them, and you always have to wear plastic pants.”

“And I doubt you’ll be able to wear pants with them.”

“Not like you could wear pants with any diaper that can actually hold anything anyway.”

“I know right,” Raquel said knowingly.

“So why do you need diapers? If you don’t mind my asking. Was it a car accident or something?”

“Nope,” Raquel said shaking her head. “Born with it. I never really was potty trained. I would try and try, but it just seemed like I could never feel when I needed to go or …”

“You would feel it, but you never had enough time,” Abby said finishing Raquel’s thought. “Me too.” Raquel and Abby reveled in the strange connection they just shared.

“So do you know what causes it?” Raquel asked.

“Doctors say I have a shrunken bladder, that it didn’t grow with the rest of me or it was damaged when I was a baby or something.”

“I probably have the same problem, if I were to guess,” Raquel said happily. “Did you ever try to train yourself?”

“Yeah,” Abby nodded. “I got close too, but looking back I was just constantly paranoid and on edge. I had to be ready to bolt at a moment’s notice. It was too stressful.”

“I’ve never really tried to get trained after I turned five or so. I was never in the right environment for it. By the time I was in a good home, I had been in diapers all of my life it felt weird to not wear them.”

“Yes yes,” Abby said happily. “I feel the same way. Especially after wearing these cloth diapers for a while.”

“By the way are you like your sister?” Raquel asked cautiously. “I mean those plastic pants look cute but it make me wonder.”

“Not really,” Abby answered shakily. “I’m not going to lie. I’ve worn some onesies, suckled pacifers, drank from bottles, all of that. It’s not the same though. I’m just doing it because it’s something different. I’m usually not this showy about it either.”

“I think I get it,” Raquel said. “It’s like when I got these,” Raquel said showing off a diaper that was the same brand she had put on Kelsey earlier. “It’s not like I want to feel like a baby, it’s just different from the plain white diapers and it makes me feel cuter.”

“That’s how it starts,” Abby giggled. “You should try some onesies, or cute plastic pants while you’re here. I know I have plenty I can lend you. I think Kelsey stole my froggy onesie anyway.”

“That’d be great,” Raquel said happily.

“No problem. Id offer to let you try cloth diapers too, but I’ve used all the ones we have here. And I don’t think you’d want to wear them no matter how well I wash them.”

“Yeah no thanks.”

“I’ll give you the website we buy them from though, you can get your own.” As Abby was looking for the website on her phone the two were interrupted by the sounds of a scuffle. They ran to the living room where Sadie and Kelsey appeared to be arguing over a box of crayons, with Katie crying nearby.

“Hey!” Samantha shouted protectively before Abby or Raquel could intervene. Samantha snatched the box away from the two and went over to comfort Katie. On seeing Katie crying both Kelsey and Sadie already seemed to regret their actions.

“What was that about?” Abby asked sternly. Sadie and Katie just stared nervously at the ground in response. “Neither of you want to explain?”

“I was coloring,” Kelsey pleaded, “And Sadie came over and wanted to take all of my crayons.”

“You were hogging them all,” Sadie replied defensively. “And I wanted to color too.”

“And you two thought that was a reason to get into a big fight,” Abby scolded. “Do you think that was the right thing to do?”

“No?” Abby answered ashamed. Kelsey nodded no as well.

“I think you both need a time out,” Abby said finally.

“But …” Sadie began but she was cut off.

“Sadie. Corner. Now,” Abby said angrily pointing to one corner of the room, Sadie meekly made her way there and faced the corner sadly. Kelsey looked at Raquel hopefully, but Raquel was not happy. She wasn’t prepared for this part of the experience, so she was mostly following Abby’s lead, but she did feel like Kelsey shouldn’t get away with that scot free lest it set a bad example.

“You need to go to the corner too Kelsey,” Raquel said seriously. Kelsey hung her head low and made her way to the opposite corner from Sadie.

“15 minutes and then you two can come out,” Abby said setting a nearby egg timer. Abby and Raquel then moved to console Katie who was still sniffling when they got to her, but was starting to cheer up. Samantha sat with Katie on her lap in the floor and cooed and admired her as she colored some pictures. Katie showed he pictures to Abby and Raquel who also gave approval, in between looking at their two charges, who could faintly be heard sniffling in their corners. After what seemed like an excruciating wait the egg timer finally dinged and Sadie and Kelsey moped to Raquel and Abby respectively.

“Do you two know why you had a timeout?” Abby asked.

“Cuz we got in a fight,” Sadie said with a sniffle.

“And fighting is bad,” Kelsey said in a similarly sad mood.

“Good,” Abby said happily. “Now what do you say to each other?”

“I’m sorry,” Sadie said sadly. Kelsey answered by hugging her friend tightly.

“And what do you say to Katie?” Raquel added. Sadie and Kelsey turned to Katie who had walked up behind them and was standing quietly behind them suckling on her pacifier.

“Sorry,” Sadie and Kelsey said in unison.

“It ok,” Katie replied quietly, as she went back to her coloring. Kelsey made grabby hands at Raquel and the two made their way to a couch, Kelsey promptly sitting in Raquel’s lap buying her head in Raquel’s chest. Raquel could feel the plastic from Kelsey pacifier move rhythmically move against her chest.

“Are you mad at me?” Kelsey asked quietly, her head still in Raquel’s chest.

“No I’m not mad at you,” Raquel said happily. “You just got carried away, it happens.” Kelsey grunted affirmatively, but still cuddled into Raquel. Sadie and Katie continued playing on the living room floor, but Kelsey seemed content with cuddling, though she had turned her head around, and no longer had it buried in Raquel’s chest. She watched Sadie and Katie play while suckling on her pacifier and looking over a stuffed animal that Samantha had given her. Raquel felt Kelsey's bottom and noted that she wet her diaper.

“Did you have an accident?” Raquel whispered. Kelsey blushed.

“I wasn’t opposed to leave the corner,” Kelsey replied, quietly confirming that she had used her diaper.

“Well I think your diaper can hold another so we’re going to wait. Is that ok?” Kelsey nodded yes and continued snuggling with Raquel. After a few more minutes Abby emerged from the kitchen.

“Who wants macaroni?” Abby said happily. With that everyone made their way to the kitchen, Samantha and Katie lagging a little behind. Kelsey and Sadie were the first to sit at the table as Abby put them some macaroni on a plate. Behind them Samantha was affixing a tray to Katie’s chair and tying a bib around her.

“Why does Katie have to eat like that?” Kelsey asked.

“Well in addition to being a messy eater,” Samantha said happily. “Katie hasn’t been eating her veggies like she should, so I’ve been making sure she eats them,” Samantha said opening a jar of green baby food. Katie made a sour face and whined as Samantha brought a spoonful of the mush to her face.

“I know you don’t like it, but three jars and then you can have mac and cheese ok.” Katie let out a groan but opened her mouth. “Good girl,” Samantha said putting the mush inside Katie’s mouth. Katie closed and kicked her feet in protest as she tried to swallow it.

“Yucky!” Katie complained after swallowing. Samantha took the opportunity to put another spoonful in her mouth.

“You are doing such a good job Katie,” Samantha said proudly even if some of the food dripped on her bib. Kelsey and Sadie looked on in fascination as Abby and Raquel populated the rest of their plates with green beans, broccoli and apple slices.

“Are you going to eat your veggies?” Raquel asked Kelsey. “Or are you going to make me feed you?” Kelsey honestly considered for a moment. Despite how Katie protested at the taste it looked a little fun to her. Before Kelsey could confirm though her chair had been moved next to Katie and a tray was placed over by Abby. Raquel tied a pink bib with white flowers on it around Kelsey’s neck as Samantha showed Raquel her collection of pureed food.

“I recommend two veggies and a fruit,” Samantha said as Raquel looked through them.

“How about green beans, sweet potatoes, and peaches,” Raquel said holding the jars up to Kelsey for approval. Kelsey seemed hesitant.

“I like peaches,” Kelsey said quietly.

“Well we’ll save that for last to be a little good job treat,” Raquel said opening the jar for green beans. Samantha continued to feed Katie who, while compliant, was struggling to stomach whatever food she was being given. Raquel moved a spoonful of the green much to Kelsey’s lips. Kelsey hesitantly opened her mouth and Raquel seized the opportunity to force the whole spoonful in. Kelsey’s face scrunched at the taste. “Don’t you dare spit that out!” Raquel said covering Kelsey’s mouth with her bib. Kelsey struggled but managed to swallow the food. She breathed a sigh of relief and Raquel took the opportunity to shove more food into her moth. Kelsey was about to protest when her open mouth drooled food onto her bib, Raquel grabbed what she could with her spoon and put it back into Kelsey’s mouth. Kelsey quickly discovered that she wasn’t going to win so she did her best to eat it as fast as possible.

“Almost done,” Raquel said scraping the last of the food out of the jar. As usual Kelsey was still trying to finish the last bite as Raquel put another in. Thankfully this was the last bite. Kelsey gave a final whine of protest as Raquel wiped her face off with her bib, which already had a healthy amount of spots on it. “You did such a good job,” Raquel praised, offering Kelsey a sippy cup of juice as she opened the next jar. Kelsey quickly drank the juice hoping to wash the taste out of her mouth. Katie had already moved on to her second jar, and wasn’t putting up as much of a fight with this one.

“Ok these are sweet potatoes,” Raquel said with a spoonful of the food. Kelsey decided she had enough and shut her mouth tightly and turned her head away. “Come on Kelsey,” Raquel said trying to bring the spoon to Kelsey’s mouth, Kelsey turned away in response. They repeated this a few more times before Raquel had enough. “Kelsey you can open your mouth or you can go to bed without any macaroni.”

“Nooo!” Kelsey cried.

“Well you better open up then.”

“I don’t wanna,” Kelsey abruptly stopped talking as Raquel took the opportunity to stick the spoon in Kelsey’s mouth. Kelsey expected it to taste as bad as the last, but she found that it wasn’t. She wouldn’t describe the taste as good, but she could tolerate it. In the back of her head was the voice of her little self, craving positive attention from Raquel, so Kelsey obediently and innocently opened her mouth for another bite.

“Wow!” Raquel said with a gasp. “You must really like this one.” Kelsey nodded no, but calmly accepted the bite of food. “Well you’re eating it so that’s good enough.” Kelsey halfheartedly let Raquel feed her, since she was complying more Raquel let her finish one bite before giving her another. They quickly finished the second jar and Kelsey drank more juice as Raquel opened the last jar. “Ok peaches for my little peach,” Kelsey giggled and blushed heavily at this comment. She waited with her mouth open while Raquel opened the jar and got a bite ready. Kelsey ate the bite without any coaxing and her face lit up. Unlike the others, this one was sweet and tart and Kelsey really liked it. “You like that one?”

“Yes. More please,” Kelsey said eagerly opening her mouth. Raquel laughed and continued feeding her. This time Raquel struggled to keep up with Kelsey who was eagerly eating the bite almost as soon as Raquel put it in her mouth. “All done,” Raquel shrugged as Kelsey ate the last bite. Kelsey seemed disappointed but the look of disappointment disappeared when Raquel brought her the plate of the long awaited macaroni. For a moment Kelsey was concerned as Katie had started eating the macaroni with her hands, Samantha keeping her as clean as she could. Raquel seemed to read Kelsey’s mind though, and offered Kelsey a spoon as she sat her own plate of food on Kelsey’s tray and ate with her. They both smiled happily enjoying a quiet moment together. Kelsey finished her food first, but waited patiently while Raquel continued eating, happily suckling her pacifier and watching Raquel eating, earning some shy giggle from Raquel.

Raquel and Kelsey were the last to finish their meal and thus the last to return to the living room, where Sadie and Katie were acting more their age, though they were still suckling on their pacifiers as they talked. Sadie had changed into a blue footed sleeper adorned with cupcakes and other pastries. Katie and Samantha were wearing matching onesies, both were purple Katie’s with the words “Little Sis” and Samantha’s with the words “Big Sis” written in cutesy print on the front.

“I bet Kelsey needs a change too,” Katie blurted out as Kelsey walked in. Kelsey blushed, and blushed deeper when Raquel abruptly opened her onesie and began to check her diaper.

“She’s right,” Raquel teased.

“I guess I had an accident while you were feeding me green vomit,” Kelsey said jokingly.

“Yeah yeah,” Raquel said patting Kelsey’s diaper urging her into Sadie’s room for a diaper change. As they entered Sadie’s room Kelsey stopped suddenly.

“What is it?” Raquel asked.

“I think I’m going to make another accident,” Kelsey said squinting.

“Go ahead,” Raquel sighed. On command Kelsey pushed a mess out into her diaper, a look of mild disgust grew on her face, but she seemed to get over it quickly. “Well I can’t change you now,” Raquel said.

“What do you mean?” Kelsey said in a panic.

“Well when babies make messes you’re supposed to wait to make sure they’re done before you change them.” Kelsey groaned, that was something she had told Raquel and she wasn’t happy with how this had come back to bite her. “Come on just 30 minutes,” Raquel patted Kelsey’s diaper playfully. Kelsey was not as happy about it this time.

“All clean?” Samantha asked as Kelsey and Raquel came back into the living room.

“No. She decided she wanted to make a mess before her change, so we’re going to wait to make sure she’s done.” Kelsey was extremely embarrassed, but both Sadie and Katie didn’t seem phased by this news, though Abby and Samantha did laugh a little when Kelsey squinted when she sat back in Raquel’s lap. Despite this the group enjoyed slightly more adult conversation. Sadie, Kelsey, and Katie acting a little more their age. After a few minutes Raquel patted Kelsey’s bottom again, and Kelsey was again not very happy about it. “Ok let’s get you changed.”

“We should probably get the young ones to bed too,” Abby said with a yawn.

“It’s only like 8,” Kelsey complained.

“And babies need their sleep,” Samantha added snarkily. Kelsey groaned.

“We've got bars for mine and Sadie’s bed to make some cribs so the babies can sleep there.”

“Kelsey and I are definitely sharing a crib,” Sadie said hugging Kelsey.

“And I’ll bunk with Katie in the other crib I guess,” Samantha said begrudgingly. Katie hugged Samantha making a happy noise.

“I guess you and me got moms bed Raquel,” Abby said.

“Weird how the only people who we have to worry about wetting the bed don’t get the cribs,” Raquel said snidely. Everyone had a good laugh at that and Raquel went to change Kelsey. Abby was in the same room, Sadie helping her put the sides on the bed to make a crib.

Raquel watched Abby and Sadie assemble the crib out of the corner of her eye. Kelsey was embarrassed being changed in the same room as them, and unable to cover up thanks to the straps on the changing table. Despite having to clean up extra mess Raquel managed to finish changing Kelsey before Abby and Sadie finished with the crib, with little time to spare though, as they had just finished when Kelsey stood up. Sadie’s bed was now surrounded on all sides by large wooden bars that were secured to the bed frame and extended to about the height of Kelsey, preventing her or Sadie from being able to simply hop over it. One side featured a gate that opened allowing entry and featured a clasp in the corner that kept the gate shut and could also be locked if needed. Once finished Sadie and Kelsey eagerly entered the crib. Abby closed the gate and locked it shut, securing the two of them inside until released. She sat a baby monitor on Sadie’s nearby desk.

“Ok if you girls need anything just ask, we’ll be listening on the baby monitor.” Sadie and Kelsey both waved by as Abby turned the lights out and exited, though it was clear neither of them would be going to sleep. Abby and Raquel peeked into Abby’s room, where Samantha had just set up similar bars. Katie was laying down inside the crib.

“We’re going to stay up a little bit longer, and then I’ll crawl in bed with you,” Samantha said locking Katie into her crib and turning on a similar baby monitor. Samantha turned out the light, but left the door cracked open and she, Abby, and Raquel returned to the living room. Abby went to make the three of them some coco as Raquel and Samantha eavesdropped with the baby monitors. Kelsey and Sadie were gossiping, with more infantile topics strewn in, such as favorite colors or cartoons, while Katie was humming to herself, reading a book that Samantha had left for her. It was at this point Raquel noticed a bit of a diaper peeking out from Samantha’s onesie.

“You wearing to bed too Sam?” Raquel questioned.

“Well, I was still going to lock the crib, and that means I’m not going to be able to go to the bathroom,” Samantha explained. “It’s a sacrifice I’ll make to keep Katie from running around hurting herself of getting into trouble. I know for a fact she’ll try and break Kelsey and Sadie out to cause problems.”

“Really she seems so well behaved.”

“She is when you give her attention,” Samantha giggled. Abby returned with coco for the other two.

“So are you having fun Raquel?” Abby asked. “As much work as it is for us, I like it as much as Sadie likes being little.”

“It’s more fun that I thought it’d be, but really it’s mostly seeing how happy Kelsey is. I didn’t think she’d like as much as she does.”

“She definitely got into the groove fast,” Samantha commented. “You did too.”

“Just following your leads,” Raquel said modestly. The three talked for another hour or so. In that time Katie had dozed off to sleep quiet breathing coming from her baby monitor, while Sadie and Kelsey were still up and talking. Raquel and Abby followed Samantha to Katie’s crib. Katie stirred awake when Samantha joined her, and immediately attached herself to Samantha lovingly.

“You’re wearing a diaper like me,” Katie commented happily.

“Yes I am, because I’m going to get Abby and Raquel to lock us in.” True to Samantha’s word Abby shut the gate of the crib and locked the two of them in. Samantha handed Abby her baby monitor through the bars. “I’ll let you know if I need out.”

“Sure thing,” Abby said knowingly. “See you in the morning.” Abby and Raquel moved on to Sadie’s room where the two were still energetically talking.

“Bed time means bed time you two,” Abby said sternly. Kelsey and Sadie quieted down. Abby handed the two of them bottles of milk through the bars, Raquel gave Kelsey a good night kiss.

“Seriously though get some sleep,” Raquel said sternly. Kelsey and Sadie groaned, but snuggled up together in an effort to get some sleep.

Raquel and Abby retired to what Raquel guessed was Abby’s mom’s room.

“You care if I change in here?” Abby asked.

“Only if you don’t mind me doing the same,” Raquel countered. The two quickly changed their diapers, Abby taking a little longer to give her cloth diaper extra stuffers for the night. They both crawled into the bed, a respectful distance from each other.

“Oh here’s that website by the way,” Abby said showing Raquel the website where she ordered her cloth diapers from on her phone. Raquel couldn’t help but not that the site also sold adult sized pacifiers, bottles, onesies, and other similar items.

“I see they sell more than diapers,” Raquel commented as she saved the web address in her own phone.

“Well you have it in case you or Kelsey wants to buy anything. Oh speaking of,” Abby said with sudden realization. “I snagged a onesie from my room before we left.” Abby said holding a simple purple onesie. “We look like the same size, and I got you one of the least childish.”

“Thanks I totally forgot,” Raquel said excitedly. “You could’ve gotten one a little cuter though,” Raquel said getting into the onesie. “I’m already wearing a onesie and diaper may as well go all the way.”

“I’ll remember that for next time,” Abby laughed.

“This is so comfy,” Raquel said hugging herself in the onesie she was wearing.

“Helps keep your diaper up too,” Abby pointed out.

“Yeah, I could see these becoming my go to pajamas.”

“Why do you think I wear them?” Abby asked hypothetically. The two got back into bed, this time getting a little closer.

“Thanks for all of this by the way,” Raquel said genuinely.

“Don’t mention it, Katie is over all of the time, so one more isn’t too much trouble, especially with you around to help. I should be thanking you for giving me someone else to talk to who actually need diapers.”

“It is nice to have someone to talk to who gets it,” Raquel said happily. “You can call any time as long as you’ll let me do the same.”

“For sue, and you and Kelsey can come over whenever you or her get in the mood to play baby.”

“Her or me?” Raquel questioned.

“Not going to judge. I’ve tried it from their side, Samantha has too. Only natural to be curious.”

“Yeah, I definitely am. Despite how cliché it is to have the girl in diapers play a baby.”

“You get over that pretty fast,” Abby said turning out the light.

I think the reason that this chapter was cut should be pretty obvious. I didn't really set out to make a cutsey ab/dl romp with this one, though some of that did get sprinkled in. It's supposed to be more ground, more dl and less ab. Doesn't mean I didn't have a bunch of cute idea though. That's what this is, a modest collection of the cute ideas I had. It's also a love letter to those that have read both Abby'd Diapers and this one. I feel like it's pretty common knowledge at this point that the two take place in the background of each other, and this presented the opportunity to have the much anticipated crossover episode. So thanks for you guys that stuck around this long. And now that sad part, that is going to be the last chapter for Raquel's Wish. I am fresh out of material that I had written for it. I feel like I accomplished my goal of giving the original a satisfying conclusion, and giving my take on a story that was definitely a large inspiration for me to start writing. Just fyi though I have absolutely no plans on continuing this as a series. I was pushing my luck to make one story with characters that weren't really mine, and it wouldn't feel right for me to take it any farther. Doesn't mean I'm gone though. I already know what my next story is going to be so stick around for that. Hope you enjoy.
