Be True to Your Heart,

Chapter 17: A Special Road Trip

From Chapter 16:

Thursday morning came and they had to get the Excursion loaded with the last few things. They all got up early because Kevin wanted to be on the road before 6am, so they would miss most of the traffic. He had packed the boys' bags and loaded them and some extra diapers the night before. He planned to have them all in diapers for the drive since they likely would sleep the first few hours. He gave them each a yogurt and half a banana for breakfast. Then did a quick diaper change on them. Kevin left them in just their diapers and included a pair of shorts, a tee-shirt, a onesie, and sandals in a bag for them in case they wanted it when they stopped before their final destination. He got them all settled in and buckled up, in their booster/car seats before he did his quick walk-thru to make sure they had what they needed and had turned off the important stuff. All 3 boys were asleep again before Kevin started the Excursion. They had about 370 miles to go. Hopefully, it would work out to about 6 hours so they would arrive in time for lunch. He sent the text, saying they were on their way, and hoped to see them in about 6 hours. Kevin had made himself a large Mocha, to help keep him awake, and he had some soda in the small ice chest on the front-seat, since he could not rely on the boys being awake if he needed anything from it yet. They would be in charge of it once awake, just as they had been on the drive out from AZ. It was 5:55 am, Kevin was pulling onto the main road, and they were off.

Chapter 17: A Special Road Trip

It was a warm morning so the boys were very comfy in just their diapers. They were sound asleep while Kevin had some music playing on the radio. He figured it would be a pretty simple trip. His phone had the trip mapped out. This included a 3-mile detour for road construction. Davenport Iowa was not that big, and very different than Las Vegas had been for the family they were off to see.

Traffic thru the Twin Cities was not too bad yet. Kevin made good time. He was glad he had filled the Excursion up the previous day. On the highway, the 6.0L diesel gets great milage. It was approaching 7:30, and they were almost at the Iowa border. Kevin needed to stretch his legs, so he stopped at the big rest area just before the border. He has stopped there many times before, even when he was a kid and his parents drove this way.

As he was exiting the freeway, he looked to see how the boys were doing. X was awake and looking out the window. Sammy was sucking on his Paci and looked to be waking up. Nicky was in the middle, had his pacifier in his mouth, and was reading his Captain Underpants book. It made Kevin chuckle because he remembered the discussion the boys had about a week ago; they determined Captain Underpants, needed a sidekick, and the logical choice was a boy, and he would be called "Diaper Boy". He would wear a thick diaper, and a cape with a pacifier clipped to it. Sammy suggested he wear a onesie that had DB on the front of it and on the seat of the onesie. They spent well over an hour talking about this and planning it all out. Boys.

"Morning boys. I didn't realize any of you were awake. You were so quiet and well-behaved."

"Morning Daddy. I wanted to see what it looked like around here, so I was enjoying looking out the window. I did not want to bother you because I knew you were focused on the road." Said X

"I woke up and saw X was looking out the window so I got my book out and started to read the next chapter. Are we going to get more food soon. I'm kinda hungry now." Said Nicky.

"I'm kinda thisty," said Sammy around his pacifier.

"Perfect timing. This is a great rest stop. It has all kinds of old pictures and stuff inside the building, and we can get you all something to drink. If my memory is right, there should be a McDonalds about 20 miles down the road, I think. Otherwise, now that you are all awake, you can help me find the next McDonald's or something else where we can get a quick breakfast. I need to stretch my legs for a few minutes, so we can all get out and get some fresh air."

"Okay. Cool." Nicky said while X and Sammy nodded.

Once Kevin got parked, he got out and was going to help the boys out.

"Boys, I have your sandals, here, so you don't risk stepping on glass or anything. If you want a shirt or onesie, I have one for each of you here as well, but that's up to you. I bet they have seen many boys in diapers here before, and will in the future as well. You can leave your pacifiers out here, so you don't lose them."

Surprising the only one that wanted a shirt was Sammy. He was a bit shy with all the red welts he still has after the hornet attack. He also asked to keep his pacifier, which Kevin allowed and clipped it to the shirt. Once the boys had their sandals on they all hoped out.

They spent the next 10 minutes walking around and stretching, while enjoying the fresh morning air. Several families looked at the boys a bit funny, while many boys looked at them and smiled. A few parents even talked to Kevin. He just explained that diapers on a road trip make it faster, and easier for everyone. Not to mention it prevents any accidents from them falling asleep, or not being able to find a rest stop in time. One mom asked about using the bedwetter pants. Kevin explained that they leak rather easily, and most of them are still labeled training pants. His boys are not training to be bedwetters. When a child is asleep he has no choice but to wet if that is what his body, or especially bladder says to do. Diapers work much better, leak less, cost less, and are more comfy for most boys. The boys had quiet conversations with some of the boys they met, and from the smiles they all had, it was clear that many a boy was jealous of them getting to wear soft tape-on diapers for a long car trip.

As they were walking to the excursion, a family of 6 was getting out of a minivan. The father had been driving and the mom was fussing over 2 of the kids. It turned out that they had 3 boys and 1 girl. The boys were 12, 9, and 7, while the little girl was 3. It seems that the 12 and 9-year-old both had wet shorts. The older one was not soaked, but clearly had gone some, and based on how fast he ran, he still had to go more. The 9 yr old was soaked. He looked at Nicky and X then blushed. They both said Hi to him and his little brother who was getting out of his booster seat. The father was upset clearly, while the mother was trying to clean up the mess in the back seat.

"Nate, you were supposed to be wearing one of your GoodNites. When I got you up, I told you to change into a dry GoodNites in case you fell asleep, and you said you would. What happened?" asked the mom.

"I was going to, but I remembered how much Chad and Andy teased us last time because of our bedwetter pants at night. I knew it would be worse if I showed up wearing one in the day. They kept calling us names and even took pictures on their phones of us in them. I hated it last time and I don't want that to happen again." The boy said as he had a few tears which showed his true feelings about visiting his mean cousins.

Kevin offered a hand and also some diapers to help prevent any more accidents. He introduced his boys and both parents were surprised they were walking around in just slightly wet diapers. They talked and the mom was already changing the 9 yr old into a diaper when the older boy returned. He looked at X and asked why he was in just a diaper.

"I have a weak bladder, and I wet every night. On a car trip, it's just a lot easier to wear a diaper and not worry about having an embarrassing accident. A lot of the time we have shorts over our diapers when we travel, but sometimes we don't. No one teases us and it's not a big deal. Well, one boy did last month, but his mom told him if he teased us or his brother again he would be in diapers for a month. Most parents don't want their kids to be mean bullies, because they know it will make them bad people when they get older. Diapers are just another type of undies. Besides they are a lot softer and feel better than the bedwetter pullup style we have tried, and they don't leak as easy. You should try one, I bet you will find it's a lot easier than doing a peepee dance in the car."

"I'm 12, I don't think they make diapers in my size. I have tried the bedwetter pullups and they are ok, but they are scratchy and leak and still got my pjs wet."

"If you had comfy diapers in your size, would you wear them so you would not wet the bed or your pants on a trip?" asked X.

"Yeah, I guess I would. My little brother Adam wears diapers still at night and Nate wears GoodNites normally but sometimes a diaper. I don't wear anything unless we are visiting family or stuff then I have to wear GoodNites. At home, I just wash my sheets when they are wet."

"Wearing a diaper would help you sleep better, and feel better. Besides, they are just another type of undies. It's best to not wear any PJ pants over a pullup or diaper unless it's cold, and then the 1 piece pjs are the best. They don't push and stuff on it so it doesn't leak as much then, and the one-piece PJs hide them great for winter sleepovers and Christmas or family visits. Let me ask my dad something, I think I can help you out." Said X and then he whispered to Kevin.

A moment later Kevin came back with a few diapers in his hand. He gave them to X who had a big smile going.

"Here, these diapers should fit you. Our friend is about your size, and these are the ones that fit him. They are the thick overnight ones we all like the best. Here are 4 so it should last you for a few days. They last us all day, or from dinner time to after breakfast, sometimes even to lunch, so they hold a lot. Enjoy. They are soft and very comfy. But it's hard to get clothes to fit over them other than one piece Pjs or like sport shorts or sweat pants."

The boy was shocked. He said he would wear a diaper if it was in his size, and now he has 4. His shorts are clearly wet, because the blue is 2 different colors. While he was looking at them, his mom came over and took one. She looked at it and felt it.

"These are very soft, and pretty thick. I think they would last the rest of the car trip for you. Let's get you diapered like Nate is. I am going to have your dad take your little sister and Adam in to use the potty, and see how their pull ups are. I might just put Adam into a diaper too, since it seems you boys are the ones that are in need of them the most." The mom said.

She had him lay down on the back seat and proceeded to remove his wet shorts and cartoon undies. Using some wipes and powder she had in the diaper bag for his little sister and maybe brother, she got him cleaned, powdered, and then diapered just like she had done with the 9 yr old. She thanked Kevin and X for the diapers and asked where she could get some more of them. Kevin gave her the info on the Mega Max, and also got her 2 each ATN and Smart Core from Tranquility so she can try them on him too. He also gave a few of them for the 9 yr old as it was clear the size 6 he was in was snug. He suggested size 7 diapers for him, and then had X grab 2 from their diaper bag. As they were talking the dad came back out, while the boy walked in just his pullup and the girl still had her shorts on.

"I think it might be best to diaper Adam as well. His pull-up is soaked. He went poop so he won't need to do that again today. Sarah had a dry pull-up and she went potty like a big girl, so she is fine." He looked at his 2 oldest boys now in just diapers and a shirt and chuckled. Both had been a pain to potty train and try to get out of diapers before they started school. Now they are back in them for the day. But it will save on pit stops as well as keeping the van cleaner and dry, thought the dad.

Soon all 3 boys were in tee-shirts and diapers, while their younger sister still had her shorts on over her dry pullup.

The parents talked for a few minutes and the boys talked about diapers, games, and other things. X gave them his email so they could be friends and talk that way. Kevin got a picture of the boys in their diapers. The mom wanted one of the 6 boys as well. Kevin mentioned a need for breakfast, and was told there was a McDonalds about 25 miles down the road, and that was their next stop. It had been the planned stop until Nate said he could not hold it anymore after doing the potty dance in his seat the last 5 minutes.

It turns out that they are from just north of the twin cities and live on a lake. They suggested maybe Kevin and boys could come spend a weekend and have some fun on the lake. Kevin gave some ideas to deal with teasing that would teach the other boys a valuable lesson, and if they like taking pictures of others when they tease them, maybe some of them for the family album would prevent that from happening in the future. This brought a smile to the boy's faces as well as the Moms.

Kevin got his boys in their booster seats and off they went. Next stop, McDonalds. The boys wanted to go inside and not do the drive thru, so Kevin let them. They got more looks and even talked to a few boys and told them how comfy diapers are and they are great for car trips, so they don't have to hold it or worry about an accident or having to pee on the side of the road and getting bug bites on their thingy. It turns out the boys really wanted soda, and thought if they went in, they could get it, instead of milk. Kevin gave in and let them share a large soda. X ran out and came back in with the 3 sippy cups he knew they brought so he filled them and the cup up with soda. They could not agree between orange or coke. By using rock paper scissors, it was decided it would be Orange soda. One of the mom's commented how cute it was to see a boy that age in a diaper and how happy he seemed to be. When he ran out to get the sippy cups she chuckled when she saw the sippies. Kevin explained they keep the back seat clean, as well as their shirts when they wear them. She said it made sense and her kids could use them, and she might just do that. Kevin also explained the advantages of pacifiers on car trips, and if the kids argue and or fight with each other, a pacifier that must stay in the rest of the trip, works wonders. He suggested telling them if they are going to act like toddlers and fuss and fight, then they can be treated like toddlers. Say the pacifier is the first part, and if you take it out or keep misbehaving, you will see the next parts. This gets the kids to calm down and realize they messed up and they don't want to push to see what is next, so they get along or sometimes nap. She loved that idea as well. Since all 3 of her kids tend to tease and fuss or bug each other, and a pacifier would help keep it much quieter in the car. She laughed and said her 13-year-old often is whining as much as his 5-year-old little brother does. Maybe the pacifier will help them calm down and chill out.

As they were leaving they saw their other family pull in. The boys were made to get out and walk into McDonald's in just their shirts and diapers. Only Nate seemed to be embarrassed, but he also looked a bit excited too, that included in his diaper. They said Hi to Nicky, Sammy, and X as they passed in the parking lot. The boys said HI and showed their sippy cups full of soda to the other boys. Soon they were in their carseats with their breakfast and sippy cup. Kevin had his breakfast, and a fresh Coke to help him stay awake and focused for the rest of the drive. He had one more pit stop planned so they could stretch in a few hours. But they could stop sooner if needed. At least he knew it would not be an emergency stop because of one of the boys having an accident, which made him smile knowing his boys were good boys and knew that diapers did not make them any different than others and nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed by. He was proud of them.

Once back on the road, and the boys were done eating, Nicky had a few questions.

"Dad, I saw the sign a while back and it said we are in Iowa. Why are we in Iowa? There is not much to do here that I have heard of. Except maybe some Corn festival or something."

Kevin started to laugh after he heard what Nicky said.

"Nicky, Iowa is a great state. It's just not one high on my choice to live in. It's kinda flat, but they do have decent fishing and if you like hunting they have great deer and duck hunting in many areas. I think they have a decent state fair, but the one in Minnesota is better. Granted the LA County Fair in California is larger than just about all the State Fairs. As for why we are here, that is a bit of a surprise. It will make sense to you this afternoon. Trust me, it is a good surprise. I promise."

"Ok, I trust you, and you have not broken a promise to us yet, so I will wait to see what it is. Do I have to be the little or toddler brother while we are here?"

"Yes, you are still the little brother while we are here. When we are out and about the pacifier is optional, as long as you are behaving. But Sammy and X are in charge of you, so you need to listen to them and me. Don't worry about it. You will be fine and have a lot of fun this weekend. Remember school is about to start, so enjoy the freedom. And enjoy your diapers during the day while you can. For you its pullups for school, to start, so that you can get back into undies for school."

"Yes dad, I know, I need to wear the pull ups to school so I can make sure I stay dry and then my undies. You said I can get some cool ones or maybe some cartoon boxers, remember?"

"I remember. I said you and X could both have some, once you were both dry and in undies full time for school, and had been daytime accident free for at least a week. I hope that in 2 weeks we can go get you those undies or boxers. I might even get me a pair of matching boxers."

"Nicky, you and Tanner are in the same class at school. Please be his friend at school, and keep an eye to make sure he is safe at home and his brother and dad are not hurting him. He likes you a lot and trusts you, so please let's all work to do what we can to keep him safe. Okay?"

"Sure dad. I like Tanner, he is really nice. A bit shy and stuff, but I think that is because of his brother picking on him all the time. Han is super nice and cool too. I am so glad they live by us and come over a lot. Can they come over after school?"

"I agree. I think we can figure out some rules so that they can come over after school. Same will apply to Erik if he wants to come over, and most other friends you boys will get."

"What kind of rules?" asked X.

"Well, the first rule would be no rough-housing or fighting, especially nothing where anyone could get hurt. Next, homework MUST be done first, before any playing of games or playing around. I expect at least a text when you all get home, and I want to know who else is there. Chores need to be done once your homework is done. If you are going to leave the property or even go exploring in the back area, you need to text me and let me know, and then text when you get back. Stick together when you are out doing things. I think it might be best to carry the phone with you if you do go out into the wooded area to play. I hope most of the time you will be at home, either in the house or the backyard playing in your fort, the swings, or riding your bikes around our road and the grass. When it gets dark, I expect you to be home and inside." Kevin explained. These were the main concerns he had and as they rolled down the highway, they talked about them for a while.

"Sammy, you are very quiet today. Are you feeling ok buddy?" Kevin asked

"I'm tired and sad. I don't want school to start because I like playing all day. I had some weird dreams the last 2 nights and last night I had a bad nightmare. I was awake for a while because I was scared to go back to sleep."

"I'm sorry buddy. If you had told me I would have come cuddled you or even let you sleep with me if you wanted. I have a feeling tonight you will sleep well cuddled up to someone special. I made sure to pack some of your stuffies too, if you want one with you now, let me know and I can pull over and get it for you."

"I'm ok for now. I know I am just a little kid, but I was thinking about Matty and X and all the bad stuff they had happen to them and how their parents were mean and treated them badly and stuff. I was upset because we lost daddy, but I learned you really do love us and think of us as your sons, and that made me happy. I am happy X is with us too. But Matty was in the hospital because his mommy let her boyfriend hurt him. Why would a mommy do that? Why did my mommy leave us?" said Sammy as he was trying to hold back tears.

Nicky put his arm around his brother and gave him a side hug, as best he could with them in booster seats.

"Sammy, I can't answer that, because I don't know his mommy. I know most mommies would never do that. I know your mom loved you both a lot. But something changed with her when you were a toddler. I don't know for sure, but I think she started using drugs and that is why she started doing weird things, and then ran away from you and your daddy, so she could be free from any responsibility. Sadly too many kids have a parent, or both parents that do not care about them. They are more interested in their jobs, or how they look to the neighbors and others, or using drugs, instead of loving and doing what is best for their kids. I hope Matty is safe with his grandma and cousin. He deserves to be loved and wanted for who he is. What I do know is, I love all 3 of you boys very much, and am happy you are in my life, and I can call you boys my sons."

Everyone was quiet for the next 30 minutes or so. Then some gentle talking between the boys and an occasional question for Kevin as they kept on trucking to their destination.

The boys were starting to get antsy. Kevin had planned to stop at this next rest area, since it's about 2 hours from the final destination. He knew he would need to stretch by then. It was about 5 minutes away.

"Boys, there is a rest stop a few miles up the road. I plan to stop, as I know I need to stretch, and I can tell all 3 of you need to burn off some energy for a few minutes. Stay together. Do any of you need a change?"

"I'm really wet, and need a change," said Sammy.

"Sounds good buddy. I can get you changed quickly. I figure your brothers should be good for a while, since they are in the thick youth diapers. Do you want a Paw Patrol diaper?"

"Yeah, can I get a Paw Patrol diaper pleaseeeeeee" said Sammy. It made Kevin smile, at how some of the simple things can make the boys so happy.

As they pulled into the rest area, Kevin parked in the shade. It was a large area with lots of room for the boys to run and play. This was evident because there were many kids of all ages out running and playing on the grass.

"Nicky and X, please wait until I get Sammy changed, and then I want the 3 of you to stay together. Thank you."

Within a minute or 2, Kevin had Sammy in a dry diaper. Sammy wanted to keep his shirt on, and Kevin let him. He made a mental note to talk to Sammy about how he feels about the welts, and also to talk to Nicky and X about it as well, so maybe they can help Sammy feel better and not worry about his image as much.

"Ok Boys, we will be here for 5 to 10 minutes. I suggest your sandals, even with-it being grass, because you never know what you might step on or in. No rough housing. I will be either near the excursion or that picnic area there. Now have fun"

With that being said, the boys took off. Kevin headed into the bathroom to take a leak. He had thought about wearing a diaper today, but decided against it. Maybe on the trip home, where he won't have to worry about where to discard it. Especially since it will likely be a longer drive since they will hit traffic with the afternoon departure on Sunday.

He walked around and stretched his legs a bit. His back was a bit sore, so he took some ibuprofen. He does not like to take muscle relaxers during the day, especially when he will be driving. He will just suffer thru the discomfort for the rest of the drive. At least the driver seat is comfy and has good support. He got the ice chest out, and grabbed himself a fresh Coke. He got some juice boxes out for the boys. He had their bottles with but did not think to fill them this morning before they left, but on the return trip, they will have them and their sippy cups full of juice. He still had a few bottles of water in the ice chest. He grabbed a few things of string cheese. One for each of the boys and 2 for himself, as well as a sleeve of Ritz crackers for them to share. He put it where X could get to it, since he had asked to be in charge of it, and was doing a good job.

The boys had fun and talked to many other kids. Some asked about their diapers and why they wore them, and some just ignored them and acted like it was no big deal. Which in reality, it is not a big deal, nor should it be to anyone. They were panting from running and just being kids, as they raced back to the excursion where they saw Kevin getting things out of the back seat.

"I hope you boys feel better now that you got some exercise and got to stretch your legs. Let's get you back into your booster seats and buckled up, so we can hit the road. I have some cheese and crackers for us to nibble on as we drive the last leg of the trip. It's about 126 miles so a little over 2 hours is my guess. It's about 10:20 so we should be there around 12:30, and in time to get some lunch."

Once the boys were buckled up, Kevin gave them a juice box, cheese, and the rest of the Ritz crackers. They were soon back on the road.

They talked about all kinds of stuff as they traveled down the road. Kevin was happy to see that in general the boys were all looking forward to school and meeting more kids and making friends. They also talked about what kind of activities they wanted to do, like karate, dance, gymnastics, swimming, little league, scouting, football, soccer, or anything else. It turns out that X was interested in soccer, karate and maybe gymnastics or swimming. Nicky wanted to learn more about taking dance or gymnastics or even swimming. Sammy said they should all join the scouts. He also wanted to try karate, swimming, gymnastics and he loved to sing when his daddy played his guitar. Kevin shared his knowledge of each of the options. Nicky was thinking ballet, but X was thinking more like Dancing with the Stars type dancing. They all loved the water and looked forward to going swimming in a big pool again. They talked about scouting or other options like it, and Kevin agreed to look into what was in their area. Kevin thought he might even see what Tanner and Han were interested in, and maybe they could all do something.

The boys were getting antsy again, especially once they exited the freeway. As Kevin followed the directions on his phone, he could hear them talking in the back seat, trying to figure out where they were going and what they were going to do.

They finally pulled into a driveway in front of a newer home. It was in a quiet newer neighborhood. They had seen a few kids out playing but it was a warm day, so most would be indoors, or maybe playing in the water be it a slip and slide or maybe even just the sprinklers.

"We are here. Let's get you guys out of your seats, and then I want you each to carry your duffle bag, while I carry mine and your diaper backpack. You don't need sandals if you don't want, but they need to come in, and the concrete will be pretty warm if you are barefoot."

Kevin helped to get them all out of their booster seats. Only Sammy wanted his sandals. Kevin could tell Sammy was still a bit uneasy and scared from what had happened to him, and clearly needed more reassurance and support over the next few weeks so he could put it behind him.

Once they had what they needed, Kevin had them follow him to the front door. He figured it would be best and safest if he had them stand in front of him as he rang the doorbell.

Once the bell was rung, you could hear a bunch of noise inside. As the door opened, Nicky started to cry and ran into the house, past the little boy who had opened the door. Sammy got excited and hugged the boy. X was confused as he had no idea who the boys were. He assumed they were friends of Nicky and Sammy, but that was all he could guess until he heard Nicky say a name.

Kevin guided X into the house. The little boy showed them to the kitchen where his mommy was. As they walked through the family room Nicky and a boy were in a full-body hug on the sofa. It looked like Nicky had hit him at full speed and knocked the boy on his back, onto the sofa as he was given a bear hug. As they got to the kitchen the introductions were done.

"Mary, and Billy, this is Xander, but we normally call him X. X, this is Billy, Sammy's buddy from Las Vegas, and the boy over there under Nicky, is Bobby, his best friend. This is their mommy, Mary, and their Daddy is John and will be home later I assume." Said Kevin.

"It's nice to meet you maam. Hi Billy, Sammy has told me a lot about you. Nicky has told me a lot about Bobby too. Nicky and Sammy are my brothers now and Kevin is our daddy."

"You can call me Aunt Mary, and please call John, Uncle John. You all are family. I am glad you made it and that everyone is ok. Sammy, I heard about what happened to you. I was so worried and scared. Hug me, so I know you are ok." Mary said. She opened her arms, and Sammy went to get a hug. She held him and he broke down and just started to cry. He missed a mommy type hug, and he finally had one again.

It took Sammy several minutes to calm down. Mary and Kevin were not too surprised as to how he reacted. Kevin let Mary hold Sammy, while he took X and Billy into the other room, so X could officially meet Bobby.

"Nicky, you need to let Bobby up. You have a few days to spend together, so please let go of him, be a good brother, and introduce your special friend to X."

Nicky had tears of joy on his cheeks. He was so happy and excited to see Bobby. Bobby was just as happy. It was a challenge for the parents to keep this reunion from the boys, but Kevin insisted it be a surprise for Nicky. He knew Bobby would let it slip if he knew when they did their weekly call. Bobby only found out after breakfast this morning and kept looking out the window every 15 minutes.

Kevin ended up having to lift Nicky off Bobby and put him on the sofa so that X could meet Bobby, then he went to check on Sammy. It was clear that Nicky was happy to see Bobby, his wet diaper was even tented a little bit, showing he was very excited and stiff. Bobby had a small tent going in his shorts, showing how happy he was to see Nicky.

"X this is my best friend Bobby. I missed him so much. Bobby, this is my new brother X. I'm lucky because now I have 2 cool little brothers."

"Who are you calling little?" said X with a bit of an attitude. This shocked Kevin a bit.

"I am older than you and Sammy, that makes you guys my little brothers." Said Nicky, a bit surprised.

"I might be younger, but I am bigger than you and I act older and more mature than you. That is why you are our little or toddler brother now. You are the one that was being selfish and then almost killed Sammy and could have hurt all of us by your stupidity!" Nicky said in an angry tone that was getting louder as he talked.

"I didn't think anything would happen. Besides, he was acting like a baby. If he had not been such a scaredy cat, he would not have gotten stung. I guess I was being a bit bossy that day, but the older brother gets to be bossy at times, right Bobby?"

"If I boss Billy around, I get in trouble, you know that. That was the rule in Vegas. Just like your dad didn't like you bossing Sammy around then either." Said Bobby showing he was not going to just agree with Nicky when he knew it was wrong.

Nicky was lost. He figured Bobby would agree with him, but he didn't, and he even talked about the rules his dad had.

"You didn't think. You just wanted to look tough and like a bad-ass. You were trying to show off. You got most of us stung, because of how stupid you were, and your attitude put Sammy in the hospital and could have killed him. We are lucky he is alive, and you just ignore how much hurt you caused. Maybe I should show you some hurt!" and with that X lunged at Nicky and hit him on the chin.

Kevin tried to grab X but he moved too fast. Bobby tried to get between them, but X pushed him out of the way.

When X hit Nicky, it caused him to stumble backwards. X tackled Nicky to the ground and tried to get on top of him. As he was doing this he heard Kevin trying to get his attention.

"Xander, Stop. Now! Xander STOP this, you will regret it later."

X thought for a second and in that time, it gave Nicky the opportunity to hit him back. He could only hit him on the side of his arm, since he was laying on his back on the ground and X was on top of him. This seemed to upset X. He then hit Nicky with a solid punch to the side of his face. As the fist made contact, both boys heard Sammy, crying and yelling for them to stop fighting.

Kevin was getting more and more upset by the second. When he heard Sammy cry and call out to his brothers to stop fighting, he had enough.

"Alexander, STOP NOW! Let Go of Nicky and get over here. Nicky, you stay there. No more fighting or else I will show you what getting hit can feel like!"

The boys stopped for a second. Neither of them moved, until Nicky tried to worm out from under X, which seemed to provoke X. They made eye contact and Nicky knew X was furious. X could tell Nicky was scared but also shocked by the look he got. X was about to let loose on Nicky when they heard in a loud booming voice.

"Alexander NOW. Alex, don't make me spank you!"

Alex stopped. He wanted to let Nicky feel the hurt he felt when he thought he lost Sammy. But he knew he was upsetting Kevin, and he didn't want to do that. He was in turmoil over what to do. Nicky took advantage of the pause and pushed X off of him and then ran out of the room. As X got up, Kevin put his hand on him and turned him around.

"Alex, what has gotten into you? I think we need to go talk in private."

"The bedrooms are down the hall. The guest room is on the right at the end. Why don't you guys go there? I will calm everyone down out here." Mary said as she was picking up a crying Sammy.

Kevin escorted X down the hall. X knew he was in trouble, and deserved whatever punishment Kevin gave him, even if it was a spanking.

Kevin had X sit on the bed, and then sat next to him. He first gave X a big hug and held him for a minute. X started to cry, because he felt bad for hurting Kevin and upsetting Sammy.

"Alex, talk to me. What happened and why did you attack Nicky?"

"I don't really know. I guess I am still mad at him for how he hurt Sammy. When he was telling Bobby about it, he made it sound like it was not a big deal that Sammy got hurt. He skipped over how hurt he got and that he just stood there while we tried to get the hornets off Sammy. He even said if Sammy was not acting like such a big baby, he never would have gotten stung. He made it sound like it was Sammy's fault or he deserved it. I just lost it. Next thing I knew we are on the ground and I wanted to hit him as hard as I could over and over. I know I hit him once. I stopped because I didn't really want to hurt him, but I wanted him to know how he hurt us. I am really sorry I upset Sammy and disappointed you. I deserve whatever punishment you give me."

"X, my little Alex. I love you so much. I love all 3 of you boys. I know you will argue and even fight at times. I respect the fact you were standing up for Sammy and even yourself when Nicky misrepresented what happened. I will talk with him about that and make sure Bobby knows the facts of what really happened. As for your punishment. I think it will be multipart. The first part is you must apologize to Sammy for upsetting him. Then I expect you to apologize to Mary and Bobby for starting a fight here. You can apologize to me when you are ready and tell me why you are apologizing. You have the rest of the day to do that, and it can be done in private if you prefer. Finally, you must apologize to Nicky."

X looked at Kevin with anger and resentment in his eyes when he was told he had to apologize to Nicky. Kevin noticed this and figured he should clarify the requirements.

"Please don't look at me like that. I am your dad, and I know what is best. I am only making you apologize to him for attacking him instead of trying to work the disagreement out. You don't have to actually apologize for hitting him, because I know you believe he deserved it, and maybe he did."

X realized what Kevin was saying and that calmed him down. He understood the difference between what he did and what he was apologizing for.

"Next, I think it is best if you sleep in here with me tonight. I was not sure where you would be sleeping, and was hoping maybe you could sleep in with Nicky and Bobby one night, and that might still happen, but for tonight you will be in here, and most likely will be in bed early. However, you might not be the only one sent to bed early. I will not tolerate any more fighting this weekend. If you have issues, please either try to talk them out, or else bring them to me and we can work to resolve the issues. We are guests here, and I expect you to behave yourself, and do it better than you do at home. You are such a good boy, and you watch out for your brothers, so I guess that is one reason I am shocked. Now I want you to tell me what Nicky said to Bobby."

X told Kevin what he heard, and how Nicky was playing off the hornet attack and tried to make it sound like it was Sammy's fault or that he deserved it. Kevin was upset at this and figured he needed to have another talk with Nicky, and maybe doing it in front of others, might be the wake-up call he needs.

Kevin gave X another hug. X grabbed onto Kevin and hugged him back for a few minutes.

"Dad, you don't call me Alex much. I know I told everyone I don't like that name, but I told you when you called me Alex it sounded different and I liked it. You normally call me X like everyone else. Why?"

"I guess it's a habit. I know if I called you Alex in front of others, they would call you that also, and that it would upset you. When we have our own quiet time, I try to call you Alex or my little Alex. Today was the first time since you moved in that I have had to call you Alexander. I noticed when I called you that, you stiffened up. Like you knew you were in deep trouble."

"Yeah, when you said Alexander, I knew I was in deep doo-doo. I figured that meant I was going to get a spanking and maybe making Nicky hurt some too, would make it worth it. I understand why you call me X now. I am fine with that, but if you can still call me Alex when we have our quiet time, I would really like that. Thanks daddy. I love you. I am sorry if I embarrassed you. I am really sorry for disappointing you and letting you down. Can you forgive me?"

"Alex. I love you too. Don't worry. Mary has boys and she knows how they act. Now that I know what happened and why you acted as you did, I understand. I don't condone your behavior, but I can understand why you acted as you did. Of Course, I forgive you. Just don't make these outbursts a regular thing. Understood?"

"Let's head back out, sit down, and talk this issue out."

Kevin and Xander went back out to the family room. Sammy was sitting on Mary's lap, while Nicky was sitting next to Bobby. They were so close you could not fit a piece of paper between them.

"Mary, do you mind if I have a conversation with my boys, and I think Bobby should be in it as well? Billy can listen in if he wants, and it might be good for you as well, so everyone understands why this scuffle occurred."

"Feel free. I am curious about this as well." Said Mary.

Kevin rearranged the boys. He had Nicky and Xander both stand side by side in the middle of the room in front of them all. Kevin sat at one end of the sofa. He offered to have Sammy sit on his lap. With some coaxing from Mary, Sammy went and cuddled to Kevin. Bobby sat between Kevin and his mom, while Billy sat on his mom's lap.

"Nicky, before Xander does his apologizes, I want you to tell us, what you told Bobby, about that day in the woods and how the accident happened. Bobby, I want you to listen and if he changes it from how he told you, please speak up and let us know what he told you. This is important because it is what caused this scuffle."

Nicky started to tell what happened. However, since Kevin was there, and so was Mary he was trying to be more normal and not make himself look so good. Every time he changed something Bobby spoke up and said what Nicky told him. Nicky kept looking at Bobby and giving him the look that said, "Please don't say anything, let me just get thru this."

After the 4^th time, of Bobby correcting Nicky, Mary suggested Bobby should tell them what Nicky told him. So that is what Bobby did. He told them what Nicky told him and it seemed to pretty much match up with what Xander had told Kevin in the other room. As Bobby told them what he was told, the look on Nicky's face got more and more sad and upset. Just as Bobby finished, Nicky had an outburst.

"You all hate me that is why you are teaming up against me. I can't change what happened. If I could have died to make sure Sammy was safe, I would have, and I still would. I thought I killed my little brother, I feel like shit because of it, and I know my daddy in heaven is disappointed in me. I know I let Kevin and Sammy down. I don't think I can ever get them to trust me anymore. If I tell people exactly how stupid I was they will hate me too. I'm sorry but I don't want everyone to hate me." Said Nicky thru tears. His voice was one of hurt, fear, and anger. He turned to leave the room. Bobby got up to hold him, but Kevin was faster this time. Even with Sammy in his lap, Kevin got to Nicky before he got out of the room. He just grabbed him and held him.

"Excuse us, I think we need a few minutes. Xander, can you please bring Sammy to the guest room in about 5 minutes? Please stay, because I will have you come in after Sammy. Then we can get Bobby and get this all resolved. But first Nicky and I need to talk."

Kevin carried Nicky to the guest room. He was crying and the tears were flowing. It was not an act. It was clear it was the feelings he has had bottled up and did not want to let out at home, now all coming out.

Kevin sat on the bed and just held Nicky. He talked softly in his ear telling him it was ok and that they all loved him. He was part of the family and his brothers loved him a lot. After a few minutes he calmed down. Kevin and Nicky talked about his feelings for about 5 minutes. He told Nicky they would talk about them a few times over the next few weeks. At that point a soft knock on the door, Kevin called Sammy in. It was clear he had been crying. He went to Nicky, who was on Kevin's lap. He put his arms out showing he wanted a Hug. Kevin shifted Nicky so he could hug his little brother. They hugged and cried a bit.

"Nicky I love you. What you did hurt me a lot. I trust you, but sometimes you still try to act like my boss and that scares me. We are brothers. The only boss here is Daddy Kevin. Xander told me why he attacked you. He was upset you tried to make it sound like it was my fault I got stung. I hope you don't think that is true or that I deserved it." Said Sammy thru a few tears.

"I am so sorry Sammy. I never meant to hurt you. What I did was stupid and mean. I did not want Bobby to be mad at me or hate me for getting you hurt so I just told him part of what happened. I was so scared when I thought you died. I cried all night. I was so upset because I thought I had killed my little brother. I promised daddy that I would look after you and keep you safe. I broke that promise to him and to you. You have been quiet this last week and I thought maybe you hated me and did not want to be near me. I would do anything to prevent you from getting hurt. I would have traded places with you, even if it meant I died, just so you would be safe and not hurt. I hope one day you can forgive me."

"I do forgive you. Kevin told me that I needed to forgive you because you did not try to hurt me on purpose. That you were just being stupid and trying to act tough instead of being yourself. Just promise me you will not tell people it was my fault or that I deserved to be stung. If you tell them the truth you can tell them that I still love you and forgave you for being stupid. If anyone has a reason to be mad at you it's me, and I am not mad anymore."

"Well said Sammy. I am very proud of you."

"Nicky, you also need to be honest about your punishment. You might be older, but you are not the big brother right now. You can explain to Bobby and Billy too, what your punishment is and that for a while you are the little or toddler brother. I know that upset X a lot when you told him he is your little brother, and that you are the big brother."

"Xander, if you can hear me, please come in." Kevin said in a loud voice.

Xander came into the room. Kevin saw Bobby was out there and he invited him in too. They came in and closed the door. Kevin had to rearrange everyone so they could talk.

"I want everyone to understand something. Nicky did not try to hurt Sammy or anyone. But his actions did lead to them getting hurt. So, in a way, he is responsible for that, because he should have known that throwing a stick at a hornet next could make them sting people. We call his actions negligent, and that means he did something stupid, and it caused others to be hurt in some way. But he did not mean for them to get hurt."

"Nicky, I want you to tell X why you said what you said. Then I want Xander to explain to you how that made him feel. Bobby is family, so he can hear this and should hear it, so he knows what actually happened."

For the next 10 minutes the boys all talked. They worked it out. Kevin even got Sammy to show off his sting marks, and Bobby told him he was very brave.

"Nicky, for your punishment for not being honest when you talked about what happened and how you unintentionally caused your brother's injuries, tonight you are not allowed to play at all, and this lasts until after breakfast. Bobby, can I trust you to make sure this punishment happens, otherwise Nicky will have to sleep in here with me tonight? If Bobby gives me his word, that he will enforce that punishment tonight, then I will still let Nicky sleep in Bobby's room, if that is what they want."

"Mr. Kevin, I will make sure that punishment is enforced. It hurts and affects me too, so maybe Nicky will think more next time. Because again his actions hurt others. But we will not play or do anything like that tonight. I guess you already know about us. When we go to bed, we will talk and cuddle, but that is all. Is cuddling ok?"

"Cuddling is fine. But no kissing or rubbing anything. I will get Nicky in his night diaper around dinner, and it should last well past breakfast. It might be a bit thicker than normal, just to make sure Nicky does not try to rub on anything. Now that this is resolved, let's go out and get some lunch."

They had lunch. Then the boys went to play legos. About 3pm, Sammy and Billy came out to ask Kevin and Mary a question.

"Mommy, I know you said Sammy could sleep in my room if we wanted. We do. But can we have X sleep in there with us too? Please...?"

"I don't see why not, how about you Kevin?" said Mary.

"I had told X that part of his punishment was that he had to sleep in my room tonight, however with everything being discussed and hopefully resolved, I think I can let him sleep with Sammy and Billy, if that is what they want. I know Sammy has had some nightmares lately, and maybe having X and Billy next to him tonight will help him sleep better."

"However, I want to talk to Sammy in private for a minute before I give my final ok."

Sammy looked at Kevin and knew he was busted as Kevin knew what they had planned. He looked at his feet and waited. Kevin took Sammy to the sofa in the family room to talk.

"Ok Buddy, I know that look. You know I know why you want X to sleep with you boys. I need you to be honest with me. How much stuff have you and Billy done with each other?"

"Well, we have rubbed each other's stiffy, then we sucked on them and even put our fingers in each other's butt when we do that. He put his stiffy in me and I put my stiffy in his butt and it felt good when we did that. I told him how good it feels when X and I do stuff and he wants to try it if X will do it with him."

"Thank you for being honest with me buddy. Because you were honest and I trust you and X I will say yes. However, you boys need to keep the noise down. I suggest maybe your pacifiers so that you guys don't make too much noise. You are a loud moaner and when you have your tingles you are even louder." Kevin said to the young boy.

Sammy blushed, but also smiled.

"I will also put X in a diaper like yours so it's easier to take off or adjust. If he was in the thick night diaper, it would be very hard to take off and adjust more than once. Just have fun, and if anyone says NO, or stop, you do that. Understand?"

"Yes, thanks Daddy Kevin. Your awesome." Said Sammy and then he gave Kevin a big hug. As he was hugging Kevin, he whispered in Kevin's ear, "I love you daddy". Then Sammy ran off to find Billy so they could talk and ask X to sleep with them.

"Looks like my youngest is wanting to play more with Sammy and now X. I know he and Sammy had done a lot before we moved. I am pretty sure he and Bobby play around too, especially when they take their bath together. I can tell it's not forced, so I let them have their fun." Said Mary

"I asked Sammy to try to keep the noise down and suggested maybe sucking on a pacifier since he tends to be loud. I hope your bedroom is not too close to them."

"Nope, our room is on this end of the house, that hallway is to the garage and the boy's rooms. We won't hear them if we are in our room, however, you on the other hand, will." Mary said with a laugh.

"I will just play my sleep music. That reminds me. I got some sleep music for the boys and they love it. I brought a CD copy of it as well as a copy on a thumb drive. If your boys have a tablet or something they can play music at night we can put it on there. It's designed specifically for boys ages 5-16. It seems that their brain works on different frequency and wavelengths than a girl's brain does. Between the age of 16 and 19, most boys' brains shift to the wavelength that a man's brain works on, and with. A sleep specialist did a bunch of studies and found that if music or sounds are played and the sine or cosine wave is played with the ambient music it focuses the boy's brain and that helps him get into REM sleep faster and stay in it longer. This means they get better, longer sleep that will help them heal and grow more because of it. Some parents have even added some wording in it so that their child will focus on school work, not be so shy, want to be a good boy, or other issues their son might have. This seems to work as well. It turns out that a friend of mine knows the researcher and his wife who is a child psychologist. When I talked to them and told them about the boys and the stress and loss they have suffered, he offered to send us a CD with some Ambient music on it to help them relax and sleep better. It's a mixture of ocean waves, rain, thunderstorms, rain forest, and stream sounds. The whole playlist is between 8 and 9 hours, and I just have it repeat. They seem to sleep better and have fewer bad dreams or restless nights once they started listening to it. I have it play in each room thru small speakers I mounted to the headboard. When they first started listening to it, they used headphones."

"Sounds interesting. Both my boys seem to have a lot of restless sleep, so if it can help them, I am all for it. They both have a tablet. We can upload the music to it and create a sleep playlist. Bobby has a Bluetooth speaker as he likes to listen to music in his room when he is drawing or playing with his legos. Billy has a wired speaker for his. He likes to listen to music and dance around his room. He looks like a crazy monkey sometimes. I walked by and had to keep walking before I busted out laughing when I saw him dancing around his room. I just wish it could make them want to clean up their room and do their chores and homework."

"Actually, it does have some soft wording in it. I know it does say several times that good boys do their chores and homework. It also says how nice it is to be a good boy. So I suggest calling them or telling them you are proud of them and they are good boys. When I did this, I noticed a change in a week or so. It seems me telling them they are good boys and then the suggestion that good boys do chores, just clicked."

"Perfect. I will go get their tablets now and we can add it and set up the playlist and the auto start time." Mary said as she got up to get the tablets.

Kevin smiled as he knew there were a few other comments embedded into the music as well. Some are linked to good boy, while others are linked to diaper boy and then even a few are linked to other terms or phrases. Since Bobby and Billy seem to like diapers, the diaper boy ones would not seem any different than they already are, but might keep them in diapers longer, and being good little diaper boys.

A few minutes later X came out to talk to Kevin.

"Daddy, I'm confused. Sammy just asked if I wanted to sleep with him and Billy tonight. I told him I can't because I am sleeping in your room as punishment. He told me that you said I could if it was what we wanted. So, can I sleep with them in Billy's room?"

"I think it would be ok if you slept with them tonight. However, I know why the younger boys want you to sleep with them. Sammy has told Billy about the fun you boys share in bed. You don't have to do anything you don't want to, or with anyone you don't want to. If you want to play with them, it's fine. Just be gentle and try to keep the noise to a low roar. I suggested to Sammy he suck on his pacifier. However, he might prefer to suck on something else depending on what positions you boys are in. I will also put you in a size 7 diaper instead of the normal thick night diaper. Because of this, I do want you to try to go pee in the potty before bed."

Alex gave Kevin a big hug. "Thanks daddy. You're awesome. I love you." And then he went back to play with the younger boys.

The rest of the afternoon went well. Just before dinner, Kevin noticed Nicky was pretty wet. He took him in and had him try to use the potty. When done, Kevin put one of the mega max x-small diapers on him and used a stuffer in it to make sure it lasted well past breakfast. It was so thick that Nicky could not walk normally in it, even with his experience all summer of learning how to walk in thick diapers. Kevin knew that even if Nicky did try to rub his stiffy thru the diaper or rub it on anything, the thickness of the diaper now would prevent him from getting enough stimulation to get any real pleasure from it. It was in a way a chastity device, however it did let him get stiff, but it prevented any stimulation when erect.

"This diaper is super thick. I can't walk normally in it. I really look like a big toddler."

"Yeah, you do look a bit like a big toddler with that cute waddle you have with that diaper. Just imagine how much waddle you will have after it's wet. I can't wait to see you waddle in the morning, both before and after breakfast. I figure that diaper should last until lunchtime. Here is your pacifier, enjoy." Kevin said as he handed Nicky a pacifier that was on a lanyard so it could hang around his neck, as he was only in his diaper.

Kevin had made sure Mary was ok with Nicky being in just a diaper, and no shirt at the dinner table. She chuckled and said it was fine, because half the time in the morning one if not both of her boys are that way for breakfast, esp with how warm it has been the last few weeks.

They ended up talking about PJs for the boys and both agreed the 1 piece sleeper pjs, work the best. They hide and hold the diaper as well as keep the boys warm. It also helps to keep hands or fingers away from the diaper too. She also agreed that when it is warm it's best to just have the boys sleep in their diaper or a shirt and diaper if they want. She had noticed that having pj pants or sleep pants on over the diaper seemed to increase leaks so they stopped using them on the boys. When they have friends over, they wear shorts and a shirt to bed normally, except for the 3 boys next door, since they are bedwetters, so when they did a sleepover she had her boys in just their diapers, which shocked the new boys but also strengthened their friendship.

After dinner they had planned on watching a movie, but instead, it became a family games night. John excused himself since he had a long day planned the next day, and his 2 favorite baseball teams, Twins and Angles, were playing each other so he wanted to relax and watch the game.

The boys, along with Mary and Kevin started playing card games. It started with double deck UNO. It was a riot, especially when everyone played a draw 2 card, which went back to Bobby whom started it. He ended up with a fist full of cards that hand. After an hour or so, the boys wanted to play a different game so Kevin and Mary went out back to sit and chat. The sun was setting, and the temp was much more reasonable, especially with the slight breeze that was blowing.

"We put these misters in when we got here, because we had some in Vegas and it was a huge help. However, with the higher humidity here, they don't work as well as we would have liked, but it does help lower the temp here on the patio. The sprinklers should come on in about 15 minutes and that will help drop the temp too. Most people water in the morning, but we found doing it in the evenings helps cool the air going into the house and the patio so we can enjoy it more."

"Makes sense. Yeah, misters are great when you have a dry climate, like California, Arizona, Nevada, etc. But with the humidity here in Minnesota and Iowa, they are not as effective. When I had the people working on the old farmhouse, I had a whole house fan put in. It sucks air into the attic so when the air is cooler outside it helps cool off the house much quicker. We have AC and have used it some, but I prefer to rely on fans when possible. Not only is it less costly to run, but also better for the environment."

"I have seen the pictures of the boys' rooms and the cribs in Sammy's room. That is so cute and I was surprised to see twin sized cribs, and a larger changing table. But it makes sense and I am sure they enjoy them."

"Yeah, they make those cribs for kids with special needs, be it autism, or other issues. I have seen some bunk beds where the bottom bunk is enclosed, so it is like a crib as well. I have seen 2 different versions, as a matter of fact. I am having one delivered to the house tomorrow. One of the rooms had the metal framed bunk beds which I don't like. I ran across a bunk bed crib set and decided it would be good for that room. The store also had another big kid sized high chair. Sammy has enjoyed the one we have, but all the boys have had a try in it. I figured this new one will help Nicky realize that he is not the big brother right now when he is put in it, and I let X feed him."

"That would be so cute to see. Can you record it and send it to me? I bet Bobby would love to see it too. I have a feeling Nicky will protest at first, but if you stay firm, he will give in. He tried that stuff with his dad, and as long as he was firm Nicky gave up pretty quick normally."

"I had figured that tonight Nicky and Bobby would be busy playing around and up rather late making up for lost time. I heard what the punishment you imposed on Nicky is. Bobby told me about it and that you trusted him to make sure the punishment was enforced. He was upset a bit about the punishment, but so proud and happy you trusted him enough to let Nicky still sleep in his room and that Bobby would make sure they behaved. I appreciate how you did that. It also showed Bobby that you are ok with their special friendship and relationship, because that was the one thing Bobby kept worrying about."

"They are young, and what I have told the boys is that I am okay if they want to play with their friends. However, NO means NO. If someone does not want to play or do something do not try to force them to do it or make them feel guilty by saying no. I also put age range restrictions on them, as a safety net. When we had the 2 boys that they met at the Hotel pool that originally picked on Sammy when we were near Mt. Rushmore, come and spend a long weekend, I felt it was best to set out some standard ground rules for all of them, and that included age ranges that they could play with. The older boy is 13, and I told Sammy that was too old for him to play with. I also explained that to the guests as well. I wanted them all on the same page. I did give one exception, and that was if Sammy asked the teen to suck on him, and the teen wanted to, that was allowed, but the butt was off limits. They all understood and agreed. Sammy said he did not really want to play with the teen too much and the teen was not interested in playing with Sammy, because he was too much a little kid. So it worked out well and they all know the rules."

"That is smart. I like that idea. If we see the boys starting to play with more friends or maybe their older siblings, then I will need to do the same. Would you mind talking to Bobby about that a bit. I was hoping you would be willing to talk to him about boy-boy sex. We have tried and he turns beat red and won't talk. It took him a while to admit that he liked boys, but when he and Nicky said they loved each other that told us what we had felt. You are not his parent so I think he would talk and listen more to you. I see how Nicky and X do, and how Sammy respects you. I heard how you drove over trees to get to Sammy when they called and said they needed help. The story makes you sound like a superhero. Granted, I think you saved Sammy's life by your actions and am very thankful that those boys have you as their new daddy. I know they are in good hands."

"I just did what I felt needed to be done. My boy was in danger, and I had to get to him ASAP. I acted and did not think about it. Just like using the bug spray as a torch, it was a reaction, not a planned action. Thank you for that. I know they wanted to go live with you and the boys at first, but I hope they know I love them and see them as my boys."

"As for Bobby, I will be happy to talk to him. I think I will do it as a group and then separately to answer any special questions. I think the age limit is a good thing for both your boys, as I know Nicky has told me that Bobby learned about sex from an older cousin, and then Bobby showed Nicky what he learned." Said Kevin, realizing he might be sharing information that Nicky did not want him to share.

"Sammy does. When I was holding him he told me about his dream, and that he felt bad for not being as nice to you as he should have been. That you were so nice to them, loved them, and treated them just like they were your kids. The accident seemed to help him see that you are there for them, no matter what. I thought it was strange that he thinks he talked to his daddy, but I guess it was a way for his subconscious to relate his actions to him."

"I was not aware of that. Then I really would like you to talk to him and maybe even Billy, especially about a safe age range to play with." Said Mary with a hint of concern in her voice.

"I believe Sammy talked to Sean when he was in the hospital and died. They told me he officially died 3 times. But he came back each time. The last time was the longest and they almost stopped trying to resuscitate him. Then his heart started again, he opened his eyes, and looked at them with tears on his cheeks. The one that was using the mask to help him breathe saw the tears and told them to keep going, because he had tears and was not gone yet. The tears were because he told his daddy goodbye I think. That night Sean came to talk with me, Nikolas, and even Josh. I thought it was just a dream, but when we all talked the next morning I was not sure if it was a dream, or if it was real. Did you hear about the radio?"

"Wow, I never knew that. I would believe Sean would try to keep an eye on the boys if he could, and help them. Telling Sammy it was not his time and that he loved and missed him but that you and his brothers needed him. Wow. What about the radio?"

Kevin then told Mary about the strange dedications and songs that came on the radio as they drove home from hospital. Especial since the station was not one that Kevin normally listened to, and had not programmed into the excursion's radio.

"I can see why you think Sean was watching over you all. I have to agree after hearing about what he told you guys and then the radio. It is kind of spooky in a way, but also very touching, as his love is so strong he can reach out at times from heaven."

They talked and relaxed for a while longer. Both enjoying Mary's special Mojito she makes, using fresh mint she grows.

Kevin's phone beeped, telling him it was time to send the boys to bed. He wanted Nicky in bed about 8:30, and felt that was good for Sammy too. So, he headed in to see how they were doing and get those that needed a dry diaper, changed into their night diaper.

"Ok Boys, it's 8:30, and I think it's time for you to head to bed. I know a couple that need a soggy butt change. Let's go get you guys into dry diapers. If you need a dry diaper for bed, come with me and I will get you changed. Nicky, please see if you can help Mary get you all something to drink before bed."

Kevin took the other 4 boys and they went into the guest room. He sent Billy and Bobby to go get their diaper. He proceeded to change each of them. Little Billy was excited and his little 2 incher was stiff as could be. Sammy was looking and smiling. Billy was not embarrassed to be hard and naked infront of the other boys. However, to get the diaper to fit right, Kevin had to give his little balls a squeeze and a pinch. Billy yipped and then he went soft, which allowed Kevin to tape the Luvs overnight diaper in place. Kevin gave each of the boys a raspberry on their belly once he got them taped up. He also told them all how cute they were.

"You boys are super cute in your diapers. I know you are good boys, and also happy diaper boys. Have fun tonight. Behave and keep the noise down. Bobby, I trust you to keep your word. Happy diaper dreams."

He gave each of them a hug and a gentle pat on their padded butt. They all headed out as he told them to go get their drink in the kitchen.

In the kitchen waited Mary and Nicky. They had sippy cups for each of the boys filled with juice. Once they got their juice, they were all given hugs and sent to bed. Kevin reminded his boys that if they want their pacifier they are in their bag. He and Mary would be in to tuck them in and say final goodnights in a few minutes.

They went and checked on the boys. Kevin went to Bobby and Nicky first while Mary took care of the other 3.

"Nicky, I love you, don't forget that. I know you had plans to play and have lots of fun tonight when you got here, but you know your punishment. If I find out you boys broke the rules, you will not have any time to play while we are here. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes sir" was said by both of them.

"Sleep well, enjoy your cuddles and happy diaper dreams. I suggest talking and getting caught up on everything you have missed over the last few months." He gave each boy a kiss on the forehead. As he was turning around Mary was just walking in. She talked to them for a minute and then gave each a kiss as well. She picked up Bobby's tablet that was charging and started the sleep music, just like she had before she left the younger boys.

Kevin went to check on the younger boys. He saw them all in Billy's bed with X in the middle. He could not help but smile.

"Boys, have fun. Be gentle, and try not to be too loud. I know you are good boys and happy diaper boys. Have fun, and I love you. Happy Diaper Dreams." With that, he gave them each a kiss on the forehead, and then closed the door as he left.

John came out and the adults talked for an hour or so. They could hear the younger boys having fun. Billy was as loud as Sammy was when he had his "tingles" or boygasm.

"I wonder if X will have any energy tomorrow. I have a feeling the 2 younger boys are going to wear him out. I hope they remember to make sure their diapers are on before they fall asleep, but part of me thinks they will end up passing out instead."

This got a laugh from John and Mary.

"Yeah, I would not be surprised if they did pass out. I think we need to make sure Xander has a good breakfast, because based on the sounds now and the looks they were giving each other today, I think the younger boys had a plan to use him as their toy." Said Mary. John chuckled and agreed.

The boys were still going strong when the adults headed for bed. Kevin did check on each set of boys. He knocked on Bobby's door before entering. They were both cuddled together and looked as if they had been talking. Kevin just told them what time it was and then wished them happy diaper dreams and closed the door. Next, he went to Billy's room, knocked on the door, and then opened it. He was not expecting to see what he did.

In the middle of the bed was Billy. He was in the doggy position. X was buried balls deep in the little boy's cute ass, while Sammy was infront of him with his little stiffy pushed all the way into Billy's mouth. They were split roasting the boy and all 3 seemed to be enjoying it. All 3 diapers had been removed, and were at the foot of the bed.

"Looks like you 3 are having fun. I'm going to bed now. Don't stay up too late, and happy diaper dreams."

"Thanks daddy, I'm getting tired, but it's a lot of fun for sure." Said X while Sammy nodded in agreement and Billy looked at Kevin and smiled around the little stiffy he was sucking on.

Kevin smiled, took a mental snapshot of the 3 of them going at it, and closed the door.

Kevin got ready for bed and grabbed his book. He was still trying to finish the Iron Druid Chronicle series. He was now on book 5, Trapped, and was looking forward to relaxing and enjoying it tonight and on this trip.

Over the next hour, as Kevin was trying to enjoy his book, he kept hearing the moans, groans, and squeals from the horny younger boys. Then it got quiet. He gave it 10 minutes or so, and decided when he finished the chapter he was on, it would be wise to check on them.

When he went to check on the boys he was in shock and took all he had to not start laughing.

X was laying on his back, with his butt propped up on a pillow. Sammy had been riding him, and Billy had been fucking him. It seems they all must have cum together and then passed out. Sammy and Billy were leaning on each other and that was the only reason neither of them fell over, yet. Kevin figured it was best to get them all diapered and lying in bed. He also wanted to make sure none of them looked bruised. Over the next 10 minutes, he got all 3 diapered, and none of them woke at the least. He took some baby lotion and rubbed it into each of the cute little boy pussies as it was clear each boy had at least one stiffy in him, if not multiple and several times at that. The lotion should help to keep it from being too sore in the morning. He decided to have fun and arranged the boys differently. He had Billy in the middle with X behind him. He put Sammy in front of Billy. He gave all 3 boys a pacifier. It was cute and looked much more innocent than how he found them. Billy and Sammy were literally nose to nose and their pacifiers were touching.

Kevin whispered into each boy's ear that he was a horny diaper boy. Kevin knew the person who made the sleep music was a boy lover. He also liked boys wearing diapers and or submissive, as well as flaunting their diapers, speedos, and body. Kevin did not know if there were any suggestions for the term horny boy, but figured after what they did, he would call them it, because it was fitting. He actually mentioned to the person that he told his boys Happy diaper dreams each night and the man thought that was very sweet and to keep doing that. So he figured that phrase had some suggestive properties in the music. He had been intending to call and find out what all was in the music but kept putting it off and/or having other things take priority. Kevin set a reminder on his phone to do that next week.

When Kevin got into his room, he had to jack off and blow a load after all the moans and groans he heard, and what he saw with the boys. He would not touch his boys, and Billy was too young in his eyes, as was Sammy. But it still made him horny and he had to blow a load. He ended up grabbing one of their thick diapers and shooting his cum in the seat of it. Depending on who is in thick diapers tomorrow, be it either Nicky, X, or most likely Bobby, one will end up wearing that special diaper. Only time will tell.

Kevin put the diaper away and decided he needed his sleep now too. He took a swallow of water, turned off the light but left the ceiling fan going, and stretched out on the bed. He was almost asleep when his door opened and in walked a boy. He climbed into bed with Kevin and cuddled up to him. Kevin was half asleep so he just hugged and cuddled the boy and fell asleep. He never heard the soft crying the heartbroken boy was doing, nor his mumbling of "daddy".

_______ End Chapter 17 _______

Who came into Kevin's room, and why is he so upset?

How will the rest of the long weekend turn out, and which of the boys ends up getting the most sex? Who gets it from the most different people?

Are they ready for school? How will X and Nicky do in pull-ups at school?
What programs or activities do they want to do and sign up for? Are the boys influenced by what Bobby and Billy do?

How does the sex talk go with the boys, especially Bobby and Billy? Is it only 1 older cousin or are there more or others?

You will need to keep reading to find out the answers to these questions and many more.
