The Tea Party (Patreon)

"I cannot believe I'm doing this," Lilia grumbled to herself, looking in the mirror at the ridiculous sight she'd become. 

She was a professional woman, though you'd never guess it, seeing her now. There were no smart suits for her, or even a nice, fancy dress... She was wearing a shirt with an ice cream cone on it, a pair of lacy, white ankle socks, some pink sneakers... And a diaper. A huge, bulky cloth diaper, hidden only by a white diaper cover with three rows of blue and white lace on the back, which did nothing to disguise what she was wearing underneath.

And the worst part was, she knew it was a joke. She'd known from the moment the anonymous call had come in, telling her she ought to investigate it for her show. She'd thought she'd told her assistant to erase it, but here she was, months later, getting assigned by her boss to cover it. "I don't see any other leads," he'd told her gruffly. "It's this or nothing... And if you don't have anything for me to air, you're losing your spot."

So, to her utter humiliation, she - the person who had uncovered real cases of fraud, of abuse, of shady business practices, and exposed them all on the news - was getting dressed up like a toddler for the sake of some stupid prank. It was that, or go back to covering store openings and traffic accidents, maybe getting on the air for a minute or two at a time, if she was lucky, instead of having her own, dedicated segment.

She wasn't even sure exactly what she was looking for. According to the 'tip', people had been acting strangely after going to a monthly ageplay meet-up. She'd had to look up what that even was, but, after doing a bit of research, it definitely sounded like the things this person said were happening were exactly the sorts of things a person would do at an event like that.

She adjusted the camera, hidden in the bow on her shirt, on top of the ice cream cone, trying not to think about how it was getting a shot of her reflection, recording her in this awful outfit. She was going to have to edit this piece herself, or at least go through and trim out any images of her from it; she wasn't about to let her editor have access to those.

She really wished there was a way to get behind this that didn't require her to dress up, but, on the off chance anything was going on, she knew she had to make them think she was one of them if she was going to have a shot at them letting her see it. And, as dumb as this all was, she did hope she found something... She'd love to rub it in her boss's face, to tell him that she'd told him so, and it was just some fetish thing, after all the trouble she'd went through, it would be nice to have some kind of story.

None of the preparation she'd done had prepared her for what she saw when she walked in, shedding the trench coat she'd thrown over the outfit for the drive, and her shoes, at the door. It was like she'd walked into a daycare, but one that was attended by adults, people her age, dressed like babies. There were diapers everywhere, just as exposed as hers, if not more-so, and, in a lot of cases, drooping, discolored... Used.

She wrinkled her nose, squirming in place, the sight of it almost enough to send her waddling back out the door. She didn't want any of these people to see her, and think she was like them... And what if they recognized her from the news?! Phones had been collected at the entrance, too, so, supposedly, they wouldn't be able to take pictures of her, but she'd gotten a camera in... She knew it was possible.

She jumped as she felt a pat on the seat of her diaper, turning, red-faced, to see a large woman standing behind her, smiling. "Still dry, huh?" she said. "That doesn't happen often... Usually, our guests need a change as soon as they arrive. That long car trip is too much for their little bladders."

"I-I'm not..." Lilia started to protest, before remembering what she was here to do. "I-I didn't have that long of a drive," she corrected. She didn't like that this woman had felt like it was appropriate to just go groping her out of nowhere, though, after another moment, it sank in what had actually happened. The woman had been checking her. A diaper check! The thought hadn't occurred to her before, because she knew she was never going to use the diaper, but the woman didn't know that... And that made it all the worse.

"You're new, aren't you?" the woman asked. "Mommy never forgets a face, and I don't recognize yours. And a simple check doesn't tend to get our regulars so flustered."

A Mommy... That must be why Lilia didn't detect any diaper bulge under her skirt. "I-I'm not flustered," she said. "I-I just didn't..."

"Of course," Mommy cut her off. "Why don't you go introduce yourself? I'm sure everyone would be happy to meet you. Or, if you'd like to start out slow, you could always go to the tea party."

A tea party... Lilia couldn't imagine much that would be more humiliating than sitting around in her diapers, pretending to drink tea... Although, looking around the room, she found several examples, as other guests were building things with blocks, or playing with dollhouses, or sitting and watching some kids' show on TV... Maybe a tea party wouldn't be so bad after all...

The tea party was off in a quiet corner of the room, away from the worst of the hustle and bustle. Two girls were sitting at a blanket, a toy tea set laid out in front of them, and a stuffed animal beside each. One of them was even sucking on a pacifier! Other than their size, and the obvious maturity of their bodies, they really did look like a pair of happily playing toddlers.

Lilia was still getting used to the bulk of the diaper between her legs, the soft rustle of her diaper cover, just the whole experience, so she stumbled as she approached, which made her feel even more out of place, and clumsy... And, in a way, like she might belong there. She hadn't spoken to anyone other than Mommy, hadn't worked up the courage to talk to any of the other people wearing diapers, and now she was facing down two of them.

"Hi!" one of them, the one without the pacifier, chirped, looking up at her. "Do you want to join the tea party?"

Lilia nodded bashfully, starting to sit down. The other girl looked to the first desperately. "She doesn't have a friend!" she mumbled from behind her pacifier.

"Oh, that's right," the first observed. "You came here all by yourself?"

"Y-Yeah," Lilia said. If she could have brought her cameraman, she would have, but that would have drawn way more attention than she'd like... And she couldn't trust him not to film her in this outfit, or to dispose of the incriminating evidence once they were done. "I-I didn't know there were so many people around who..."

"No," the second one giggled. "A friend!" She held up the teddy bear at her side.

Lilia blushed, laughed. "Oh, no," she shook her head. "I-I didn't think..."

"You can borrow one," the first girl told her, pointing to a pile of stuffed animals behind them. Most of them were huge, nearly as big as Lilia herself - which didn't take a lot, to be fair - but she managed to find a normal sized bunny, sitting down with that at her side. "My name is Amber," the first girl introduced herself finally, satisfied.

"I'm Juno!" the other added, still not taking her paci out.

"Nice to meet you," Lilia said politely. "I'm Lilia."

"That's a pretty name!" Amber smiled. "Do you want some tea, Lilia?"

Really, Lilia wanted to sit and talk, to see if she could find any hints for anything she should look into, but maybe, if she let this 'party' get started, she could steer the conversation in that direction. "Sure," she agreed.

"Tea!" Juno clapped her hands, removing the pacifier. "I love our tea so much! It always makes me feel so good!"

Lilia blushed, watching the way the girl squirmed, diaper rubbing against the floor, and, surely, against the girl's body in turn... She'd felt that a couple times, as she adjusted her position in the car, and immediately been mortified, but Juno didn't seem to have any qualms about it, even in front of a stranger like Lilia.

"You'd better watch it," Amber warned. "You know what happens when you have too much!"

Lilia assumed it was part of the game, nothing more than pretend... Until Amber started to pour the tea into the tiny, plastic cups, and Lilia saw that it not only wasn't an invisible 'liquid', the way she remembered most of her tea parties as a child being, or even just water. She couldn't tell what it was, but - especially after hearing what Amber had told Juno - she wasn't about to actually drink it.

Maybe there was something going on here after all, she thought to herself, pretending to take a sip. And maybe she'd gotten lucky, and stumbled into the heart of it...

"So," Lilia tried to think of the best way to get information, once they'd all had their 'tea', "how long have you guys been coming here?"

"Shh," Amber scolded her, picking up a pacifier and pushing it into Lilia's mouth. "You hafta be quiet, and give the tea time to digest. Isn't it your turn to clean up, Juno?"

"Nuh-uh!" Juno whined, shaking her head as she put her own paci back where it belonged. "I did it last time!"

"All right, all right," Amber didn't sound convinced, but she started picking up all the parts of the toy tea set, putting them back into their little box. 

Lilia blushed, feeling the nipple of the pacifier filling her mouth, unable to stop thinking about Juno, sitting there beside her, with the same thing, how much the girl seemed to love it... It felt strange to her, foreign, like an invasion, silencing her... And it made her feel like so much more of a baby, as if it had been the last piece needed to complete her outfit.

She wanted to spit it out, but she didn't want to raise any suspicions, so she kept it in, trying not to let her tongue explore it too much, feeling like that was too close to sucking on it. 

Watching Amber clear the tea set away only made Lilia more certain something wasn't right. Everything, all the snacks, and plates, and the cream and sugar, were all toys... Except the tea. She wished there had been a way for her to get a sample of the tea away, to have it analyzed, and perhaps she'd figure something out... In the moment, she hadn't been able to come up with anything, had been forced to spill it, then inconspicuously shift over, hide the wet spot with her diaper, grateful the cups were so small.

"Amber!" Juno started to bounce in place. "It's happening!"

Lilia glanced between the two girls, confused. Juno didn't seem panicked, but she wasn't sure what the girl was talking about, and Amber wasn't any help at all, nodding and otherwise ignoring her. "What?" she asked finally, struggling to speak normally around the paci, impressed at how skilled Juno was at it after trying it herself.

"Feel!" Juno grabbed her hand, pulling it over to her diaper, pressing it against the bulk. Lilia still couldn't tell, at first... And then, she felt a warmth, slowly spreading...

She couldn't be... Was she?! Lilia wrinkled her nose, but, at the same time, she couldn't move her hand away. "A-Are you...?" she squeaked, hardly able to believe it. 

"Uh-huh," Juno grinned shamelessly, proudly, in fact. It was unsettling, yet Lilia's hand still refused to budge, feeling the warmth spreading further and further throughout the cloth...

"D-Did the tea make you do this?" Lilia finally remembered her job, what she was here to do.

"Well, duh," Juno rolled her eyes, then giggled again, looking at Lilia. "When you drink, you hafta pee! See, it's happening to you, too!"

Lilia gasped, following her gaze, seeing the little puddle under her diaper. It definitely did look like she'd wet herself, so much so that she'd leaked.... She wanted to deny it, but that would require telling the truth, admitting to not drinking the tea. And, if they thought she was one of them, it might be easier to get the real story out of them.

"Leaky Lilia, Leaky Lilia!" Juno chanted. "You must be a big baby, to leak through that huge diaper!"

Juno reached out for Lilia's diaper, ready to give it a squeeze, the way she'd had Lilia do to hers. Lilia's mind raced, trying to think of a way to stop her, knowing, if she did that, she'd discover the truth, that the wetness was only on the outside... And, in the heat of the moment, only one solution came to her...

She crinkled her nose, feeling the warm wetness spread through her diaper, the cloth soaking it up growing heavier between her legs... Next to this, the pacifier had been nothing, she thought. Now that she had both, she couldn't help thinking Juno must be right, that she must be a big baby after all...

"Wow, you really are soaked," Juno observed, groping at the padding. "I never go this much!"

She was going to have to cut this footage out, too, she thought to herself, squirming in her seat. She didn't think it was noticeable, from outside the diaper cover, but the puddle would be, and, try as she might to explain it, that combined with what Juno was saying would be enough for people to assume she had, indeed, leaking through all those layers of her diaper, and her cover....

"That's just because you can't hold it long enough to go that much at once," Amber teased.

Juno blushed, opening her mouth like she was going to deny it, then closing it again, changing the subject. "Do you wanna go get changed?"

Changed... She needed a diaper change. The thought threw her completely off-balance. She hadn't brought a change, had never thought, in a million years, that she'd need to, but here she was, sitting in a soggy diaper. She very much did want to get out of this thing, but she had to shake her head, knowing she didn't have that option available to her.

"Me neither," Juno confessed. "Wet diapers are so much fun! Just try not to leak too much more, okay? They're already gonna have to clean the rug anyway, so it should be okay."

"All right," Amber interrupted. "What do you two want to do now?"

"Tea party!" Juno shouted.

"Juno!" Amber sighed. "We just did that... And I just got done picking everything up from it!"

Juno giggled, making it obvious she'd intentionally waited until Amber was finished to say that's what she'd wanted to do next. Amber tickled her in retribution, as Lilia watched, and wondered what she should do. If they had another round, she'd have a chance to get a sample... Or, she might not get as lucky, and be forced to drink. She'd wet herself on purpose, and that was bad enough... She couldn't imagine having it happen on accident, like it seemed had happened to Juno... Much less enjoying it, the way the other girl had.

"What do you think, Lilia?" Amber asked, when she was satisfied, and Juno was in a pile on the floor, recovering. "What do you want to do? You're the new one here, you should get to pick."

"Umm..." Lilia swallowed, then made up her mind. She was here for a reason, after all... She had to get this story. "Tea party?"

"Fine," Amber rolled her eyes. "But this time, you're serving!"

Was that okay? Ethically, if she suspected the 'tea' was the root of all this, what had sent her here in the first place, could she really justify giving these girls more of it? They didn't appear to mind, at all, and, in fact, Juno had already asked for it... Were they even in their right minds anymore, even capable of making that decision?

"O-Okay," Lilia nodded slowly.

"All right, I'll go get more tea," Amber got up, carrying the teapot away. Lilia started to stand up, to offer to help so she could see where it was kept, in case she missed out on getting a sample this time, too, and had to get one from the source. She froze, feeling her diaper droop, positive everyone here would notice, too, would know what she'd done... By the time she told herself she had to do it anyway, Amber was out of sight. 

She hesitated when the girl returned, but, in the end, she did pour the tea, let them drink another cup of it, despite what she knew it might do to them. It was much easier to keep herself from having to join when she was holding the teapot, pouring just enough into her own cup to make a sound, planning to offer to clean up, and take the pot to go rinse it out, after finding something to pour the remaining tea she'd left in there into, of course, to sneak out.

Before she had a chance, however, Mommy walked over. "How are you girls doing?" she asked with a smile.

"Good, Mommy!" Juno and Amber replied automatically, almost in sync. Had they just done this enough to know what to do? Or was Mommy the mastermind behind it all?

"Wonderful!" the woman said. "I thought I'd better come check on you, because I know what time it almost is."

Juno grinned, looking over at Amber, who seemed a bit more embarrassed, though Lilia could see a hint of excitement under it. "Messy time!" Juno announced, and the other two turned around. Lilia followed suit, assuming this had to be a part of what was going on here, not wanting to make it obvious she hadn't drank the tea.

She couldn't quite piece together what was going on, what she should do next... Until she heard the grunts coming from the other two girls. No way... They couldn't really be... She nibbled at her pacifier, heart pounding. Mommy had them dosed up with whatever the tea was, so well trained that they were willing, and able, to mess their diapers on command...

And, if she didn't want to blow her cover, she was going to have to do it, too. She was in too deep now... She didn't have a choice. She closed her eyes, pretended she was in the bathroom, sitting down on a toilet, not on her hands and knees, soggy, diapered bottom in the air, and started to push. She gasped as, at last, it started to work, her diaper bulging out in the back, a thick, warm mass flowing into it, easily trumping everything else she'd done to become the most infantile thing she could imagine.

It was for the story, she told herself, face burning as she felt the mush spreading throughout her pants. It was all for the story... She was pooping her pants like a helpless little toddler for the story...

"Very good!" Mommy praised them, as Lilia stood there, sucking at her pacifier, hugging her stuffed bunny, stunned, feeling the load in her diaper squelching between her legs as she squirmed. "Such sweet girls... Now, I think I'll take Lilia for her change first, since she's new."

Lilia didn't want anyone to change her, to see what she'd done to herself, but she also didn't want to stay in this diaper any longer than she had to, so she let herself be led away, taken to an oversized changing table. Mommy helped her up onto it, though, instead of laying her down on it, she sat her on the edge, legs dangling, to look her in the eye. Lilia squealed as her backside sank into the mess in her diaper, practically able to feel herself shrinking down further and further away from her adulthood.

"Now, Lilia," Mommy said, making the girl recall that she'd used her name before... But she hadn't introduced herself to Mommy, had she? "Yes, that's right," the woman grinned, seeing the panicked look on her face. "I know you... I knew you when you walked in, young lady. I certainly hope you aren't here to do any of your silly stories... If I hear anything about us on your show, I might just have to send in the video I'm about to take of me changing your very stinky diaper in to your boss..."

"N-No!" Lilia shook her head, imagining him seeing her this way, hugging her bunny hard to her chest. "B-But.... There's no cameras!"

"That's for you babies," Mommy said, reaching into her pocket and taking out a phone. "I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you really are just into AB/DL, and that's why you're here. Of course, if that's the case, I expect you to show up more regularly now."

Lilia wriggled, diaper squishing beneath her. She couldn't let anyone else find out about this... But, to do that, was she going to have to come back and do this again, every month?! It definitely sounded that way. "O-Okay, Mommy," she gulped, nodding obediently. And then, a second later. "Umm... Mommy? I-I don't have another diaper to change into..."

"That's all right," Mommy patted her on the head. "You can borrow one of my spares... You'll be back to return it next time, won't you?" Reluctantly, not daring to risk the woman's wrath, she nodded. "Good girl."

She did manage to get a sample of the tea - it was much easier, once Amber was gone for her own diaper change - and had it analyzed, only to find that it was, in fact... tea. That was it. There was nothing more to it, nothing that would make her have accidents, or be suspectable to hypnosis, or anything like that... Thankfully, since she'd at least made an effort, her boss understood, and agreed to air a rerun of one of her older segments for that week, and not take it away from her altogether. 

It was a joke, exactly like Lilia's instincts had told her. She'd convinced herself it could be something more, and, in doing so, had ended up completely humiliating herself, playing along when she easily could have not, and nobody would have cared... Giving Mommy the ammunition she needed to ensure Lilia would continue having to come to the parties, pretending to belong there, so Mommy wouldn't find out the truth about why she'd been there to begin with. And, since she'd already demonstrated how willing she was to use her diapers, it would be awfully suspicious if she didn't continue to do so...
