“Here we go. Lift your hips.”
Liam planted his feet before lifting. Jude slid the diaper under him.
“Down,” Jude commanded.
Liam plopped his bottom down and gave a wiggle.
“Feel good?”
“Yes, Daddy,” Liam replied around his thumb.
“This will feel even better,” Jude promised. With practiced hands, Jude was able to get Liam wrapped up with the diaper around him. “Just like a hug.”
Liam gave a deep sigh.
Grabbing the handle of the second drawer of the changing table, Jude pulled it open. Inside was a collection of bright shorts and tops. The perfect little clothes for his perfect little boy.
Jude got the shorts up on Liam’s legs before lifting the boy off the changing table. Once Liam was on his feet, Jude pulled them over the diaper. They fit wonderfully, making the diaper that Liam wore noticeable by the padding.
“Alright, now time for the yucky stuff.” Jude picked up the bottle of aloe and shook it.
Liam frowned around the thumb in his mouth but turned and gave Jude his back.
Slathering the aloe, Jude made sure that Liam was covered, then replaced the cap on top. He once again used a wipe to cleanhis hands. The wipes were always so handy. Jude had always kept a pack with him when on duty.
Jude patted Liam’s bottom. “So, what are we going to play.”
“Cars!” Liam said, jumping up and down. “But no cheating!”
“I would never cheat,” Jude lied.
Liam hummed. “Nicky cheats. You no cheat!”
“Okay, baby. No cheating.”
Chapter Thirteen
Liam
“I go potty, Daddy?” He like, really,reallyneeded to go. His Daddy had been making him drink water all damn day. No lemonade or coffee or anything. Just plain water. No fun!
Well, Liam was having tons of fun playing all morning, but he was tired of water. And his bladder was about to explode. Maybe literally!
Jude lifted his head from where he’d been cleaning up the toys that Liam had dragged out. All the toys. They’d made quite a bit of a mess. Being messy was the best! “Are you wet, baby?”
Not yet but he would be soon. Liam shook his head as he squirmed.
“Shit!” Jude crawled over to him. “Forgive me, baby. We didn’t even talk about this. I’m sorry.”
Talk? They needed to talk? But Liam really needed to potty.
“Do you want to use your diaper or would you rather I take you to the bathroom? We should have talked about this before.”
Oh! Yeah, Liam had never even considered using his diaper. That hadn’t been something that any partner he’d had before would even entertain. Liam really shouldn’t be surprised that Jude appeared fine with it. He was a real Daddy. Not a fake man that just liked the use of the honorific in bed.
With Jude pulling Liam into his lap, Liam knew that was right where he belonged. Maybe for the first time in his life. “I gopotty, Daddy?” he asked softly. Liam couldn’t force his voice any louder.
“Daddy will take care of everything,” Jude soothed him.
