Stages (Chapter 11) (Patreon)

It felt as though Eliza's senses were on overdrive trying to comprehend the foreign yet strangely familiar sensation of wearing training pants. They felt tight but she knew, much to her chagrin, that they fit. They were designed to be firm to prevent leaks. As if on cue Nick snapped the purple waistband against the soft, pale skin of her stomach and declared "Well, they definitely still fit you hey?". Which of course, Nick already knew they would from his previous research. He turned her around and examined her cute little rump all wrapped up in the soft purple padding. He couldn't help himself and had to give her pillowy backside a soft smack "See, not too bad was it? They've even got cute little patterns on them like your big girl undies!". 

Eliza looked down and immediately wished she hadn't. As if feeling the padding between her legs wasn't enough seeing the butterfly, love hearts and "super cool" peace sign disappearing between her crotch made her feel every bit the bedwetting teenager who was pretending they were grown up enough to wear proper underwear to bed. Nick helped Eliza into her High School Musical themed pyjamas. Eliza noted he left the purple waistband of her Pull-Up sticking out above her red pants, featuring various "HSM" motifs. The long sleeved, fleece top with the cast smiling proudly was soon drawn over her head. Eliza was thankful it came down low enough to hide the waistband of her Drynite. 

"Right, come on cutiepie, downstairs to get into your homework while I cook dinner" Nick directed her with his hand on her back. Eliza felt utterly ridiculous. The fact that it was barely Six O'Clock at night and she was dressed in her "Jammies" ready for bed was bad enough, but the thickness of the padding she felt between her legs as she stepped down each step on the staircase was nearly unbearable. She was hopeful that the rustle of the fleece fabric of the pants against her disposable underwear was only in her imagination. Nick watched his charge from behind as she tried to descend the staircase in front of him as gracefully as possible. He smirked as she saw Eliza stepping tentatively down each step, knowing she was trying to adjust to the bulk now held firmly between her legs. 

Everytime Eliza thought she could convince herself to imagine she was wearing her usual, thin, seamfree underwear the Drynite was determined to remind her that was not the case. She sat obediently at the kitchen table completing her homework, all the while feeling as though she had a cushion under her bum. In a way that's exactly what it was, except this cushion was attached firmly around her waist. Around halfway through her homework Eliza mustered up enough courage to ask Nick about going out with Sarah. "Nick, um.. I was wondering..." she tried to stamer out softly. 

"Speak up when you're speaking to an Adult please honey," Nick replied without even turning around from stirring the pot boiling on the stove. 

Fighting the urge to bite back in reply that legally she was in fact an adult too Eliza took a breath, "Nick, I was supposed to see my friend Sarah tomorrow, we were going to go shopping, do you think I can still go? I know I wasn't good today but I've been trying to be really well behaved tonight, I've done all my homework and I tried not to complain when you were getting me ready for bed and..." 

Nick cut her off, smirking at how quickly she was spitting her good deeds at him, just as a child would when trying to convince a parent they had been on their best behaviour. He took a minute to think how this could affect the program. He wanted to be fair, he wasn't out to torture the poor girl, just to keep her in line and he had already punished her behaviour for earlier in the day. In addition, by helping Eliza to feel like she could hang on to her sense of independence, it would make it so much more impactful when it was slowly eroded away. 

"I don't see why not" Eliza's heart leaped in her chest, finally she could buy some new clothes and have a normal day but Nick hadn't finished, "However, I decide what you wear, you're to be home before Four O'Clock and don't play me for a fool, I'll be inspecting everything you buy to see whether it's appropriate. Understand?" 

Eliza couldn't help herself, she leaped up from her seat and wrapped her arms tightly around Nick in a big bear hug. Nick smiled as he placed a hand on her back and one on her hair to hold her close. "Yes, yes! Thank you so much Nick!" Eliza exclaimed and then all of a sudden realised where she was. She pulled back from the hug immediately and began to blush immensely. 

"You're welcome Hon, apart from our little hiccup this afternoon, which you have already paid for," Nick briefly darted his eyes downward to her waist to emphasise how she had paid for her misdeeds, "you've been a pretty good girl". 

"Um, yeah thanks Nick" Eliza said, trying her best to play it cool after her little outburst. She sat back down, ignoring the crinkle and continued her homework.
