Date: Wed, 19 Oct 2022 02:41:36 +0000 (UTC) From: Knight Timothy Subject: Young Innocence Chapter 6 Mattie got up extra early the next day to get ready for school. He was already dressed and downstairs eating a bowl of cream of fruit when his mommy came into the kitchen. " My my my aren't we up early this morning" " I wanted to meet Cory at the fork in the woods so we can walk to the bus stop together" " Is that the boy that you were practicing hockey with yesterday that came over" " You remember him mommy, he is the son of my teacher, Mrs Preston" " Well, you run along and I'll clean up your dishes" "Have a good day at school sweetheart" So I got up and went into the living room to get my backpack. At the last moment, I turned and ran back into the kitchen to kiss my Mommy goodbye. I got to the place where Cory and I had split off yesterday. I was hoping that he hadn't gotten there yet. I heard a rustling in the brush and slowly turned around. Standing there with its head bent over eating grass was a white tailed deer. Turning my head slightly to my right, I saw a buck with a 6 point rack of horns. There were also two does as well as three fawns. Suddenly they got startled and took off. Two of the fawns brushed against me as they ran by. Cory then came into view. "Hi Cory" "Did you see all the deers" an excited Mattie said. "Yes, they were eating my mommies flowers when I came outside this morning" "So I scared them off" "You know that there's an easier way to stop them from eating her flowers, don't you"? "Really" Cory asked. "All you need to do is put your hair around the areas that you don't want them to go" "How do you know that Mattie"? "Cause my uncle did that for my mommy when she planted her Rose Garden and the deer started eating her buds" "Something about the smell scares them off" "Where did he get all the hair from? "The barbershop, silly" The boys continued walking until they arrived at the bus stop. They didn't need to waot long as the bus soon came and everyone boarded. This morning they decided to take the two front seats across from each other. This way, they saved a spot for their new friends, Palmer and Joey. "Good morning Cory" "Good morning Mattie" "Why are you two not sitting in the same seat"? "You two have a disagreement or something"? "Oh, it's nothing like that Devin, we're just saving a spot for our new friends Palmer and Joey" "Well that's awfully nice of you two boys" "With the two of you in their corner, I'm sure that they'll succeed now' Devin pulled up too the next stop. Palmer and Joey got on and looked around. They saw us smiling at them as we patted the seats next to us. Both of them smiled back at us as they took the same seats they took yesterday. Palmer had his spelling book out and asked if I could go over his words with him this morning. I told him it would be my pleasure. That we're friends now and if he ever needs any help that he can always come to myself or Cory. I looked over to Joey and I told him the same thing goes for him. As I looked at Palmer, I asked him for his first word. It was then that I saw a tear rolling down the corner of his eye. From the smile on his face I really knew that it was a happy tear. Palmer's first word was teacher. So I had him pronounce the word first but he said tea chair. Then he spelled it the same way he said it. I explained to Palmer about syllables. How to breakdown a word into the different sections. I went ahead and pronounced teacher and demonstrated how there were two syllables in the word but the break was at the h and the e. "Teach er" It was like a light bulb went off in Palmer's head. He finally understood what everyone had been trying to explain to him for all these years. Noone had ever taken the time to sit down with him and explain it in more detail like I just did. Palmer started rattling off the words. Now knowing how to say the words properly in syllables, it became a lot easier for him. He still had a few problems with being able to identify the vowels but I told him not to worry about that just yet. As I would teach him that as well. I looked over and saw that Cory was helping Joey to pronounce words. He was reading the book, The Cat in the Hat. Several times I could hear the two of them giggle as Joey read the story. I also saw that they were practically sitting in each others laps. Too soon the bus arrived at the school and we all offloaded and went to our staging zone where our teachers waited for us. I hugged Palmer as Cory hugged Joey. We both wished them good luck on today's quizzes. We all greeted Mrs Preston and followed her to our classroom. "First things first this morning" "I'd like to hand back the math quizzes from yesterday" "Then I will go over the answers" Cory picked up his paper and he had scored a 94. He had gotten three incorrect answers. There was a silver star taped to the top of his paper. "What did you get Mattie" "Don't be embarrassed if you didn't get a high score" "I'll study with you" Mattie flipped over his paper and there was a gold star taped on it. "You got a gold star Cory said astonished" "A gold star a girl said sitting next to Cory" "Okay everyone, quiet down please" "Mattie can you please come up here with your gold star" Everyone turned their heads towards Mattie as they stared at him. Mattie got up and walked up to Mrs Preston. " Mattie, look at the board on the wall and find your name" "You can put your gold star under the category that you got it in" I found the math column next to my name and I put my gold star in the Square provided. "The rest of you can come up one row at a time and put your stars next to your names in the math column as well" I didn't know what the big deal was until Cory told me that nobody had ever gotten a gold star in math before. For that fact, only six gold stars had been given out in the yellows class since the beginning of the chart system. All of the classes had their own chart system. It helped in placements each year of where the students would go. Mrs Preston went over all the math problems and after we were done, we switched books to history. We are studying about the Civil War and how we became the United States. I found all the information very exciting. The way that Mrs Preston explained and told us about it all, was almost like we were there as the battles were happening. She was so detailed in her explanation. Our homework assignment for the class, was to write a report on any one of the battles that took place during the Civil War. It had to be at least four pages long. Spelling and proper English would also be graded. It was due on Friday. So we put our history books away and opened up our science books. We went over the local wildlife. Our homework assignments for science was to take pictures of wildlife in the nature aroind us. Then we had to write about the wildlife that we photographed. This assignment was also due on Friday. Everyone was getting restless so Mrs Preston released us. We could get our diapers changed if needed or go outside to the playground while she went to the office to take care of some things. Some got their diapers changed but Cory and I headed straight out to the playground. We saw Palmer and Joey sitting on the bench all by themselves. So excitedly, Cory and I were wanting to know how they did on their test, went over to ask them. When we got close enough, we thought we sense that they were upset and possibly crying. They wiped their faces with the backs of their hands as we got closer to them. When they looked up we asked them. "What happened" "Why are you two crying" "Were not crying" they said defensively. So Cory and I sat down next to them. One of us on each side of the table. I sat next to Palmer and put my arm around his shoulder as Cory did the same with Joey. "Now tell us what happened" "Were your friends and we're here to help you" "Our teacher, Mr Peters said we cheated" "That there's no way, two dummies like us could have gotten all those spelling words and math answers correct" "He told us to go out to the playground while he called our parents and set up a meeting with the principal to have us expelled" "Well that's not going to happen" "Your coming with us" I grab Palmer's hand as Cory grabbed Joey's. We all got up and marched back into the school. Everyone that we passed by had shocked expressions on their faces. They couldn't figure out why would we would have anything to do with these two. But we were determined to help our friends and to have the truth come out. We went past our classroom which was still empty. We soon arrived at the front office where Palmer and Joey stopped us and pointed out their parents. Mr Peters who at the time was explaining to the parents about how their sons cheated on the test. That he was recommending that they be expelled and sent to the trouble youth school. Where they should have been sent to yesterday for fighting. Cory had heard enough. He turned to me and said "Lets go Mattie, we can't let our friends get expelled when they didn't do anything wrong" Still holding Joey's hand and me holding Palmers, we opened the office door and went right into the room that was having the meeting. "They didn't cheat and we can prove it" Cory said. The stunned adults turned and looked at us. "You boys need to leave this instant" Mr Peters said. The boys ignored him. Never seeing the word before, I turned to Palmer and said "Spell together" Cory looked at Joey and said "Spell tomorrow" They both went to the chalkboard and grabbed a piece of chalk. They said the word in syllables like we had taught them. They broke the words down into sections as they kept repeating the word over and over again. They both spelled the word and the broken down word correctly. We each rattled off ten different words a piece and Joey got 8 correct and Palmer got 9 right. Then Mr Peters stood up and said "That doesn't prove anything" "You two could have coached them before you came in here" Mattie marched up to the chalkboard in the meeting room and started writing down two and three digit addition problems. I knew that neither Joey or Palmer had done three digit problems before. But if they apply the formula that we had taught them, then they would be able to get the correct answers. Cory and I looked on as they got every single problem correct. " How do you explain that Mr Peters" Mattie said. " I don't understand you boy" "Their best friend gave you that black eye but yet here you are defending" them' "Louis wasn't their friend" "He was the only one that showed them any kind of attention" "If anybody would have just taken some time and been nice to them" "Or help them out, then they wouldn't be as far back as they are now" "Palmer and Joey are our friends now" "We helped them yesterday on the bus and we helped them this morning on the way to school" "We're going to be helping them during lunch" "We're going to help them until they get caught up cause nobody should ever be in the situation they are in" "They just need friends but nobody was their for them" "That changed yesterday." "As a teacher Mr Peters, you failed them" I was in near tears as my heart went into every word that I had just said. Palmer and Joey's parents along with our principal had smiles on their faces after seeing this display of friendship. They didn't know that their sons had such good friends. I turned and ran out the door, smack into Mrs Preston. I looked up and said "I'm sorry" When I saw who it was, I wrapped my arms around her waist and cried as all the memories of being bullied rushed back to me. Cory came out next and stood besides us as he hugged me from behind. "What happened" Mrs Preston asked. All I could do was turn and point at Mr Peters. "Do you two think you can make it back to class" I looked up with my black eye that was now red as well and nodded yes. "Go back and roll out the mats Cory" "I've got a good Disney movie were all going to watch" Mrs Preston turned and after knocking on the door, went into them room. Free period library "Hey guys" "Whats up" everyone said back to Carl. 'I just heard that black eye boy just blew up on Mr Peters" 'Did he get expelled"? Carter asked. "I don't know but it had something to do with Palmer and Joey" "So their getting expelled" "No, that's the strange part" "Black eye boy and Cory were defending them" "What, that doesn't make any sense" "I know" "Boys, I know this is free period and all but could you at least look like your doing something other than gossiping" "Yes, Mr Davis" Mrs Preston classroom When Mrs Preston turned the corner to open the door, she saw that all her students were lying on their mats with their pillows. They were all ready to watch the movie. A slight groaning was heard when Palmer and Joey came walking in behind her. "Everyone, I'd like you all to meet our two newest classmates" "Palmer and Joey" Dead silence. Mattie got up and hugged Palmer in front of the whole class. "Everybody, this is my friend Palmer" "He's going to need a lot of help catching up to our grade" Cory got up next and hugged Joey who hugged Cory back. "Just like Mattie said about Palmer, Joey's my friend and is also going to need all our help" "They are both our friends" Palmer, very bravely also spoke. "Joey and I are very sorry for everything that we ever did to any of you" "We hope in time that you can all see it in your hearts to forgive us" "Come on you two, your sharing our mats" "It's movie time" Mrs Preston set up the projector and got the reel ready. "Alright everyone, lay down and don't worry if you fall asleep" "We'll have diaper changes after movie and then eat lunch" I pulled Palmer down as Cory grabbed Joey. They shared a pillow and cuddled into each other. Palmer tensed up when I tried to cuddle up like Cory and Joey were. "It's okay Palmer, we don't have to" "It's just that I don't want people to laugh at me" "Believe me when I say that we all understand" "This is the yellow class" "Everyone in here wears diapers" "If I tell you something private, you won't tell anyone" "Not if you don't want me to" "I wet my bed and wear nitetime diapers" "Your secret is safe with me, Palmer" "How's you eye doing"? "I'm really sorry that happened" "It's okay" "It should be good as new by next week " Palmer reached for Mattie's hand and interlocked his fingers. They laid side by side and watched the movie. Soon it was lunchtime so everyone went off to get new diapers. Cory had already left so I went by myself. I was waiting behind the same two boys from yesterday when this younger boy who was carrying a tennis racket tapped me on the back. "Whats your name" the boy wanted to know. "I'll tell you, if you tell me yours first" I said to him. "Connor" "Mattie" "Good to meet you" I said sticking my hand out to shake his. He all of sudden got this big smile on his face as he shook my hand. Then he turned and ran off. The door opened and three boys left. "Mattie right"? "Yes" "Want to join us"? "Sure" All three of us went in and closed the door. After we heard it click, we sat our backpacks down and went to the table to open up the drawer. We pulled out some baby wipes. Then we opened up another drawer and pulled out the baby oil and baby powder. I undid my belt and then I opened my shorts clasp. Pulled down my zipper and let my shorts fall to my ankles. I stepped out of them. Then I pulled the tabs on both sides to release my red diaper I had on. I looked over and I saw my two companions just lowering their shorts to the ground and stepping out of them. They surprise me when they reached over to each other and pulled the tabs back for one another. They both let their diapers drop to the floor and stepped out of them. We all picked up our diapers and put them into the diaper pail before sealing it shut. " I see you're part of teen diaper trials team now" "Yes, our moms went with us yesterday and got us signed up" "That's great" "I'm wearing red the rest of the day" "Were going to wear blue" I changed as they helped each other pull on their blue teen diapers. Watching them was giving me the tingles. I hurried up and secured myself snuggly and comfortable. "I'll see you guys soon" and then left. Gym class "Hey Carter" "Yes Carl" "I had my little brother Connor ask black eyed boy his name" "And" Timmi said "It's Mattie" "Does anyone know where he's at now"? "I believe yellow class is at lunch now and then they have gym class next" "Carl, you have free period next class, don't you"? "Yes but I can't go to the gym" "I have to make up that math test or I can't play in the tennis event this weekend" "Does anyone else have next period free" "I do Carter but you know it's going to cost you" "How much Dylan" "I don't want your money Carter" "I want you" Tommi grabbed Dylan and sent him on his way" Cafeteria I looked around and saw that Cory and Joey were holding hands. I had a strange feeling that they liked each other. I was happy to see Palmer talking to the girl Leeann from our class. Then this boy I've never seen before, walked up and started talking to me. "Hi, I'm Dylan" "You and I are going to be great friends" he said. "I'm Mattie"I said back. "I know that" "Your the talk of the school" "I am" "Yes, ever since you beat up those bullies, everyone wants to be your friend" "Is that your reason" "Cause I didn't beat anyone up" "It was an accident" "Oh no, I just wanted to say hello" "Welcome you to our school" "Besides, I don't think my boyfriend Carter on the tennis team would like it, if he thought I was cheating on him" "Well, nice meeting you" Dylan turned and left. "Carters boyfriend" "On the tennis team" "It can't be the Carter that I know" "Mommy would have told me if I was going to his school" I hadn't realized that I was talking out loud until the boy behind me asked what was I talking about. I put the thought out of my mind. I got my food and decided to go sit outside to eat. It was a really nice day out even if it was 40°f. I finished up and went back to class. The rest of the day flew by and soon the final bell rang. I boarded our school bus but didn't see Cory or Joey. I did see Palmer further back but he was sitting with Leeann. "Everything okay Mattie" Devin asked. "Yea, I guess so" "You haven't seen Cory have you" "Actually I did" "He's riding home with Joey" Devin saw the sad look on my face. "Cheer up Mattie" "I hear your trying out for the 12-u hockey league" "Yes I am" "Well, if you haven't heard yet, they start the tryouts the two weekends" When Palmers bus stop came up, I saw that Leeann also get up. "Mattie, I wanted to tell you the same thing I told Cory" "Thank you" "Anytime you need help Palmer, all you need to do is ask" "Leeann here is going to help me out" "She lives just 2 houses down from me" I was sad but happy for Palmer. Cory had Joey and Palmer had Leeann but I had noone. My stop came up and the rest of us kids got off the bus. I got home and went up to my room to work on my homework assignments. I choose to write about the Guinea Station. It wasn't a battle in sense of a fight between the north and south. But I read about it online and discovered plenty of facts to easily get 4 pages worth. It was where Stonewall Jackson fought and lost his own battle. He died of pneumonia. I called my daddy and asked to use his camera. He let me borrow his old Polaroid instant camera. I headed out to the woods behind our house. I found some deer tracks and followed them. The tracks lead me to a small herd of deer. I saw two bucks with 8 point racks, 4 does and 4 fawns. I took 3 pictures of that group. Then I decided to go further into the woods. I came across another set of prints that looked feline. But they were to big to be a cats. I took a picture of the feline tracks. Then I tripped over something and landed on the ground. Feeling around I saw that it was a stick that had a vine wrapped around it. It was about 5 feet long. It took me about ten minutes to get the vine that had grown around it off. The vine had indented a spiral swirl into the full length of the stick. I found it very useful as a walking stick. Flipping over rocks and small logs. I came to a small clearing and saw off in the distance through the trees to the right what looked like a couple of houses being built. I decided to steer clear of them and took the path to the left. I continued on when I heard what sounded like a baby crying. So I rushed forward but stopped suddenly dead in my tracks when I came face to face with the largest cat that I've ever seen. I panicked and dropped the camera as I swung my stick at the large cat. The flash went off on the camera which somehow scared the big cat as it turned and bolted off through the woods. I reached down and picked up the camera from the ground. I pulled the picture out and put it with the other four that I already had taken. Then I turned and took off in a run, not looking back until I made it to our house. I slammed shut our back gate and slumped to the grassy ground in relief. I decided that I'd practice goal tending for a little while. So I geared up and then loaded the shooter with all thirty of the puck balls. I used the remote to start them firing once I was in position. I was very proud of the fact that I was stopping every single one of the puck balls that shot out at me. I then reloaded the shooter and took a small table and put it on its side. I set it up to reflect the puck balls back at me after my initial stop. It would seem as if another player was hitting a rebound shot back at me. Them all of sudden, I heard a loud bumping noise. It was like something was banging against the outside of our fence. At first I thought it was the cat. But that thought quickly past when I heard another crash followed by a loud. "Oh crap" I went over to the fence near where I heard the voice. I climbed up on mommies compost box and peered over the top of our fence. It was the same boy who approached me at school today. "Connor, what are you doing here"? I asked. "I feel asleep on the school bus" "When I woke up and got off the bus, it was parked in a person's driveway" "But how did you get here" "My friend Terry lives on your street" "How do you know that"? "Because I've slept over his house a few times "Mattie, dinner will be ready in twenty minutes" "Come through that gate over there" "Then you can call your mommy to come pick you up" "That's going to be a problem" "Why is that Connor" "Because my parents are out of town" "I was suppose to stay at Terry's house until Sunday when my mommy comes back" "Well come inside and we'll see if Terry is home" I said. So we went inside. After we explained everything to my parents, Connor called Terry's house. The phone was on speaker, so we all heard the recorded answering machine message. It said the family had to go out of town and would return this weekend. Connor started to cry as soon as he hung up the phone. I wrapped my arms around his body and hugged him tightly. "It's going to be okay Connor" "Your going to stay with me until your mommy gets back" "Right mommy" "Lets call his mommy and talk to her first Mattie" "But in any case, if we can't locate her, you'll be staying with us until something is worked out. Connor let go of me and rushed to my mommy and hugged her tightly still with tears in his eyes. "Thank you Mattie's mommy" he said "Okay sweetie, let's call your mommy now and put it on speaker " "Hello, may I help you" the lady said cause she didn't recognize the number. "Mommy it's me" "Terry and his family had to go out of town until the weekend" "Oh dear, my little baby boy, that's not good" "Hello, I'm Mrs O'Brian" "Your sweet baby boy is over our house" "He goes to the same school as my boy" "We will be happy to have Connor stay with us until you return or other arrangements can be made" "Can you hold on a moment and let me discuss this with my husband" "Of course, take your time" A few minutes past. "Okay Connor, now I expect you to behave yourself while you're there and you listen to" "Oh my goodness, I'm sorry, it's Mary and my husband's name is Bob" "I'm Lisa and my husband's Paul" "Another thing Mary, my little sweet baby boy needs to wear diapers" "I'll reimburse you, if you need to purchase any" "OH Mommy, that's personal stuff" "That's perfectly fine Lisa" "My little sweetheart also wears diapers and they're about the same size, so I'm sure everything will be just fine" "Mommy" a red faced Mattie cried out. "Goodbye baby boy and you behave" " I will Mommy" Click "Mattie sweetheart, take Connor up to your room and get out of your clothes and those smelly diapers" "I can smell the pee from here" "Then I want you to put on fresh nighttime diapers" "Give Connor one of your sleeping shirts and you grab one for yourself too" "Then you boys come back downstairs and we'll eat" "Yes mommy" Mattie grabbed Connor's hand and the boys ran up to Mattie's bedroom. Mattie immediately started to remove his clothes right down to his wet soggy diaper. Connor was a little hesitant but instead stared at Mattie as he removed his clothes. "Come on Connor, don't be shy" "We both have the same things underneath" "I won't laugh, I promise" So moving slowly, he began to remove his clothes. He unsnapped his shorts and pushed them down his legs. He then stepped out of them. Now both boys were just wearing their super wet diapers. They stared at each other's diapered bodies. Mattie took Conner's hand and led him over to the diaper changing table. He helped Connor up on the table and had him lay back. Mattie then very gently pulled the tabs back on Connor's diaper. "Hey Connor, can you lift up your butt so I can pull your diaper off of you" Mattie then opened the bottom drawer and got out some baby wipes. He proceeded to clean up his pee off of the super soft skin of Connor's front. Mattie grabbed one of Connor's ankles and slowly lifted it up into the air. Then he took another baby wipe and ever so gently wiped between Connors butt cheeks. When Mattie put Connor's leg back down onto the changing table. He couldn't help but stare at Connor's hard 3 inch dick. Mattie grabbed the baby oil and started to pour it into his hand. Then Mattie rubs his hands together and began to rub the oil into Connor's skin around his diaper areas. Mattie slipped his fingers between Connors butt cheeks and rubbed his tiny boy hole. Mattie heard Connor moan when his finger passed over his tiny pink butt hole. Mattie put more baby oil directly onto Connor's front side. Not knowing what came over him or what he was doing, Mattie wrapped his right hand around Connor's dick. Mattie's squeezed his hand and felt the hardest of Connor's dick between his fingers. Then he slowly started stroking Connor's dick up and down with his oiled hand. Connor moan louder as his hips thrusted upward into Matties baby oiled hand. Mattie picked up his stroking speed moving even faster. Connor's toes curled up as his eyes rolled back into his head to show only the whites of his eyes. He then cried out in escasty, as his body shook violently. Unknown to Mattie, Connor had just experienced his first ever dry orgasm. Right before he passed out. Mattie finished putting on Connor's diaper while he was still passed out. When Connor woke up, Mattie was smiling at him. "What was that" "I'm not sure what it's called but my friend Carter and I called them the tingles" "My brother Carl has a friend named Carter" "He's also on the same tennis team" "I'm on the junior tennis team" "You have a brother named Carl"? "Plus you know a boy named Carter that plays tennis"? "Yes" "Why do you want to know"? "My best friend is named Carter and I meet a boy named Carl at the ice rink last weekend" "That's weird" "What's weird, Connor" "My brother Carl went ice skating with his circle of friends last weekend" "I didn't know that Carter was also there" I hurried up and got into a nice soft, thick and absorbent diaper. I got Connor and myself each one of my night shirts that go all the way down to just above our knees. They cover the diapers but didn't hide the fact that were wearing one. We washed our hands, then I grabbed Connor's hand and went downstairs. "There you are boys" "Grab the milk and pour yourselves each a glass" "Then have a seat and we will eat dinner" We all sat down and mommy filled our plates with food. "Mattie, did you get any good pictures today"? "Yes daddy" "I got pictures of a whole group of deer" "Then I took a picture of a large feline track" "You need to be really careful Mattie, when your out in those woods" "Word has it, that a bobcat has been seen in the area" "Hold on one minute daddy" "I'll be right back" I got up and ran up to my room and grabbed the five Polaroid photos I took. Well four, one was an accident. "Here daddy" "These are some really good pictures you took son" "Holey crap Mattie" "Bob, language" "We have two little boys here" "Sorry Mary" "What daddy"? "You didn't see this one"? "No daddy" "That went off on accident" "We'll lookie here" I looked at the picture and it showed the bobcats face as he swiped it's claw at me as my stick hit him in the head. The camera went off at the perfect time that captured what happened. Connor also saw the picture. "Sweetheart, your not going into those woods behind our house anymore" "Ah, mommy" "That cat was way over near the old quarry" "There was also what looked like two new houses being built off the otherside" "But I stayed away from them" "I don't care" "Now now Mary" "Lets not get ahead of ourselves" "I'll call Jim after we finish dinner" "He'll get that cat and take it to a safe place where it can live safely" "Mattie, mommy is right" "Until that cat is caught, your going to have to walk around the block instead of cutting through the woods" "Okay daddy" We finished eating and helped mommy clean up. "Who has room for hot cherry pie" "I do" both Connor and I said raising our hands. "I'm with the boys on that also Mary" Mommy bought out 3 bowls with a slice of hot cherry pie with a scope of vanilla ice cream on top. We all dug in. "Mommy" "I need to ask you a question" "Am I going to the same school that Carter is going to"? "Why do you ask sweetheart" "Cause there's a boy I keep hearing about named Carter and he plays tennis that goes to my school" "Also Connor's brothers name is Carl" "I met a boy named Carl at the ice rink" "Plus Connor said that Carl went skating last weekend" "It all fits mommy" "The boy makes a good case Mary" "Sweetheart" "I'm right, aren't I" "I'm not sure sweetheart but I have an idea" "Tomorrow, why don't you find Connor's brother Carl and ask him" "I'm sure your new friend Connor will help you" "You bet I will" "Okay, the two of you need to go to bed" "It's late and time for bed" "Where am I going to sleep" Connor asked. "With me, in my bed silly" The boys headed upstairs and got into bed. Mattie spooned in behind Connor and wrapped his arms around him. Connor pushed his diapered butt back until he was pressed tightly against Matties diapered front side. He closed his eyes and soon was asleep. Downstairs "Mary, did you think it wise to lead Mattie on like this"? "If he finds out that you knew, it might turn out bad" "Now Bob, we all agreed that the boys need to find out on their own" "I know we did but I'm wondering if we made a mistake" "I'm going to call Jim and send him this picture Mattie took" "Then I'm going upstairs to bed "Okay Bob" "Don't forget that were celebrating Mattie turning 10 Friday night" "It's a shame that Carter will miss this year's event due to his tennis tournament this weekend" "That's okay, cause Dale and I have already set up a surprise for the boys the following weekend" Kisses Bob called his friend Jim and sent over the picture of the cat. Bob said that he'd set up some traps and keep him posted. Mary checked in on the boys and found them snuggled up to each other. She couldn't pass up the opportunity to take a few pictures of them together. Well that ends another chapter. Sorry for the long wait. Life got in my way as I got grounded by my papa. I'm already working on the next chapter that will see some changes. Don't forget that nifty needs our donations to keep this sight free. So give what you can. Au Revior Mattie
