Wednesday morning we went into town and grabbed my Cobalt from the mechanic and paid them for the work they did, it had a clean bill of health. Found out that my mechanic was waiting for the needed parts for doing the oil change and transmission service on the fiat, since it required special filters and such. He should get it in next Tuesday.
I tossed the keys for the Cobalt to Max, as he was going to drive it to his parents that evening. We both stopped at the grocery store and got some groceries, gassed both vehicles up and headed back to the house to unload the groceries.
Before he left he changed my diaper, and as he walked out the door he kissed me goodbye. He had a 90 minute drive to his house.
As he pulled up to his parent’s house his mom was surprised to say the least.
“What are you doing home? I didn’t think you could get off this soon, and who’s car is that?” She asked
“Surprise, I was able to make it home. The car belongs to a friend, he let me borrow it for the weekend” Max said
“Nice little car” she said. “So how’s your work been”
“Uh, good, was glad I could get back home after starting this soon” He said, trying to make up how his non-existent job is going
“Your dad’s still at the store, closing at 7:00 tonight. Did you have any laundry that needs done?” His mom asked
“Nope, got it all done before I came” He said
Just then his dad’s pickup truck lumbered into the driveway and he soon came in.
“How’s it going son, who’s car is that?” His dad said
“Going good, and the car is my friend’s car” He said, wondering where his siblings were. “Where’s everybody else at?”
“Your brothers and sister went to the church to youth group, they are setting up for the community Thanksgiving tomorrow. They should be home soon” His mom said
Max sat down in the family room and started texting back and forth with me. He said he was thinking about coming clean, and telling them about me, but wasn’t sure.
Just then his brothers and sister arrived from church. His brother Michael, who was 6 years younger than him was driving. His 4 siblings ranged from 5 to 18 years old.
They all sat down for dinner, which was meatloaf. Then it went downhill when his little brother Riley got ahold of Max’s phone and looked through the photos and saw a selfie of Max and I and of all the places that we had been. Of course the photos just happened to have a few of me in baby clothes.
“Give me that” Max said as he grabbed the phone
“Who’s that weird kid in your photos?” Riley asked
“A friend of mine” Max said
“That one photo it looks like he had a diaper on. Why does he dress so weird?” Riley said
“He just does, quit snooping in my phone” Max snapped.
After dinner when the little kids were sent off to bed and the older 2 went to their rooms, it was just Max and his mom and dad.
“So, what is up, you about ripped Riley’s head off earlier. You run off and start a job right after getting done with a vacation and haven’t talked about this job either, so what gives” Max’s dad said
“Ok, I have not been truthful. While on the cruise I met somebody and have been spending time with him.” Max said
“Him, Him! Are you saying that you are gay?” His mom said
“I don’t know. It is complicated. I’ll try to explain the best I can” Max said as he unlocked his iPad.
“This is Jason, he is basically a giant toddler. He’s 25, but mostly lives as if he is a 3 or 4 year old, who pretends to be an adult.” Max said as he showed his mom and dad Jason’s photos and some short video clips.
“Ok, yeah that is weird” His dad said
“On the cruise the first night he came to dinner dressed like this. I seriously thought he was mentally handicapped or some sick freak, but he is neither. He’s just a big kid and he is fun to be with.“ Max said
“What is he one of those people who wear diapers and sleep in cribs? I saw them on the discovery channel, very weird people.” His mom said
“Yep, and I guess that makes me his daddy” Max said getting agitated.
“You have student loans to pay for, and don’t think I am going to be sending money to you while you gallivant around with him” Max’s dad said
“No problem, he takes care of that. He has more than enough income for us both to be able to travel around. I was worried about that too. To be honest he agreed to pay my student loans for as long as we’re traveling together, plus 6 months, and I will always have a way back home anytime I wish to leave or just want to come home.” Max said
“So what is it he does for money? Is it legal?” His mom asked
“He came into money, and he is a travel blogger, he has a YouTube channel that brings in money. He has invested money and is making good returns off of it too” He said. “We spent several days on the cruise together, and a week texting, and then the next two weeks in Florida, before taking off and heading up this way. Next week we are going to Iceland to shoot the northern lights and tour.”
“Don’t ask me what it is, but I just love being his daddy. When I was with Susan, she got me into playing the daddy role, she liked to wear diapers and have me baby her too” He said.
“Really? She always seemed to be such a normal girl” His Mom said
“Mom, there’s no such thing as normal, everybody has something that somebody else finds strange. Jason is just that kid that never wanted to grow up, and now he doesn’t have to grow up” Max said
“So not that it is my business, but you two aren’t having sex, you are just changing diapers and helping him film his blog and drive?” His mom said
“Yep pretty much so. We were currently sleeping in the same bed, but that was just because the bed in the back was more comfy than sleeping on the sofa. He is getting the bedroom switched so it has twin beds next week. I’m not attracted to guys or girls, I’m just not wanting to be alone.”
“Ok, is there more?” His dad asked
“Now Jason is gay, or so he says. He has never seen me as more than a daddy, and I see him no more than my little boy. I care for him and want nothing wrong to ever happen to him. He said he was just tired of being alone on the road. He travelled to some very remote places, where it would not be safe if you cannot protect yourself.”
They talked for a couple more hours about Max and Jason being together, and it was agreed that the story remains that Max is working doing forestry work around the country. This was so as not to have to explain topics to his younger siblings at this time, but Max did say that at some point they must tell them the truth.
Max had told his parents that he was going to Iceland next week and would be back again for Christmas.
My Wednesday night was pretty much mundane too. Mom made some casserole of sorts, it was good and she sent me home with the recipe.
We talked a bit about Max, and what our relationship really was and where it was going and more importantly where we were going physically next week.
Thursday was Thanksgiving and we both celebrated with our respective families, Max with his parents and brothers and sister. My parents and I went to my Aunt’s house, she always hosted thanksgiving
It was the first time in many years since I had been there, since the feeling always was that I was not welcome, ya know my dad throwing me out and all. Not to mention, I was usually working since nobody else wanted to work it.
It had started to get cold so I wore a pair of jeans, onsie, sweatshirt overtop my diaper. I packed my diaper bag with a couple changes in them and set out to go into town. At my aunts I quickly found that I was way too hot in the sweatshirt, and took it off leaving me in a onesie with baby prints on it, which raised a few heads. I also was still at the little kids table too, I mean after all, it is who I am.
I sat down and was just about ready to eat when my mom came up behind me and snapped a bib around my neck. I got this for you, I saw it online and it was just you.
So here I was trying to be a grown up, and my mom just put me back into toddler role. In the end it was good, because I got the bib dirty. When dinner was done I took it off and put it in my diaper bag and would take it home and add to my growing collection.
Nobody really said anything about the bib, the clothes or anything. They were more interested in my travels. I ended up sitting down and showing off all my photos that I had not already put on my blog and in videos. I had to excuse myself at one point to go to the bathroom. My mom noticed and directed me to the guest bedroom and offered to change me, which I mean who am I to turn down a free change at this point. I came out holding the printed diaper and put it in the kitchen trash can.
“All better?” My aunt asked
“Yeah” Was all I said
“What are you and Max doing tomorrow?” My mom asked
“Dunno” Was my only reply “it depends on when he gets back home, it might be tomorrow”
“You boys are always welcome to join us for dinner Friday night” She said
“We’ll see” I said as I gathered my stuff up and headed out.
When I got home Max was not there. This seriously was the first time in over a month that I was alone, it felt weird. I got myself ready for bed and sound asleep. Only to awake the next morning to an empty house. I got up and took a shower and changed and worked on the computer at the kitchen table, by noon I was growing tired and bored, so I went in my room to take a nap. I was awoken when I heard the beep of the alarm signaling the back door opening, soon my bedroom door cracked open as Max checked on his sleeping little one.
The rest of the weekend was kind of a bore, Max came back about 2:00 PM Friday, I knew that he would not be back till sometime that late Thursday night or Friday morning. He had gotten some of his stuff from his parent’s house. Including his handgun and some ammo, his MacBook, warm winter clothes, passport and legal documents, pocket knife, and other stuff that he wanted. He also brought some groceries, after all when your folks own the grocery store you might as well hit it up.
