Growing Up Too Fast - Part 3 (Patreon)

"Now, I need you to be a big girl for me today... Can you do that?"

Angel could hardly believe her ears; could it really be happening?! She'd lost track of the time early on... Between bouts of hypnotic fuzziness, enforced naptimes, and early bedtimes, it was hard to work out just how many days she'd really been there. It felt like it should be time to go home by now, but she'd thought that after her first full day of having to consciously act like a baby.

"Yes, Auntie!" she replied quickly from behind her pacifier. Was it finally the day of her return flight?! 

"Good girl," her aunt smiled. "We have some schools to go visit, so you can't just play all day, okay? You're going to have to do some walking, too... Can you do that?"

Schools... Angel had almost forgotten that was the reason she'd come here in the first place. After dropping out of two different colleges back home, she'd thought it might be better to try something a little further away, to force her to be more independent... Of course, she didn't want to have to be too independent, and there were several good universities around her aunt's place, close enough that she could drop by on the weekends and have the woman do her laundry...

For the first time, her aunt dressed her in something that covered her diaper. Angel probably wouldn't have chosen the short with built-in suspenders herself, but they were certainly better than nothing... Or so she thought until her aunt helped her to her feet and she was able to get a good look at herself in the mirror, where she could easily see the top of the diaper over the waistband of the shorts.

"Auntie!" she whined.

"Shh, shh, none of that," her aunt said. "I was going to save this for when we're done, as a reward, but I suppose it wouldn't hurt to give it to you early."

She handed Angel a lollipop with a ribbon tied around the stick, taking the girl's pacifier so she could lick it, which Angel immediately began to do, if only to keep the silicone nipple of the paci away. Still... Her aunt couldn't really expect her to go on a college visit looking like this, could she?!

It turned out she didn't, but only because the schools they were visiting weren't colleges after all... They were daycares. Her outfit fit in much better than she had been dreading on the ride to the first one, and it was enlightening, and mortifying, to see how realistic her play-acting as a toddler had been. 

"Yes, we found the perfect school for her," her aunt said into the phone, once they were back to her house and Angel was back on the floor, trying very hard to play with her dolls in a way that would keep Auntie happy, without looking too much like what the actual children had been doing, knowing that, despite all evidence to the contrary, she wasn't actually a baby. "I'm sure she'll be very happy there... Oh, you want to talk to her? Sure!"

Angel felt a surge of hope as her aunt handed her the phone. If she could just speak quickly enough, she could tell her parents what was going on, and they'd help her... Sure, they were all the way across the country, and her aunt would probably trigger her back to baby babble before she could say too much, but this was definitely her best chance...

"Mom, Dad, she didn't take me to any colleges! She put me in diapers and she enrolled me in preschool and she hypnotized me and turned me into a baby and..." she blurted out, as fast as she could talk.

"Well, of course," her mother replied calmly from the other end of the phone. "That's what we asked her to do. She doesn't have any kids of her own, and we obviously needed to start over with you, but didn't have the time ourselves, so she was happy to help... Are you being a good little girl for her?"

"B-But..." Angel could hardly believe her ears. Her parents had not only known, they were the ones who had come up with the idea?! That couldn't be true... "But... I-I'm not a baby..."

"No, you aren't," her mom agreed. "You're just growing up too fast. Behave yourself, okay?"

Angel couldn't respond; the words were too complicated, and speaking was far too complex for her now, but the goo's and ga's that escaped into the phone she had fumblingly dropped on the floor in front of her were enough. 

Auntie smiled, retrieving her phone and saying goodbye to her sister before turning back to Angel, patting her on the crinkly diaper. "I think it's just about time for somebody's bath..."
