Driving in the SUV, and hauling the U-haul behind them spirits were mostly high for the West family after the hell that had been the Christmas, and then all the teasing Kevin had gone through at school they were making their way to a new life in Westfield. Out of the three people in the semi packed SUV only one was pouting, but since it was HIS fault the move even had to happen he just sulked in silence for the most part in the backseat, said silence is broken only by the occasional slurp from his big gulp. The sulker had a name and it was Ben and it was because of him his big brother had spent most of Christmas day in diapers and even ended up having a few accidents and it was because of him that his brother had been labeled a diaper boy. Ben DID feel bad, for the most part, but just didn't understand why stupid Kevin couldn't just grin and bear the teasing while Ben enjoyed the LARGE group of friends he'd made, bragging about how he'd put his brother back into diapers and had been giving tips to other little brothers on how to do the same (well, had been till daddy had found out and spanked him silly) the thought of trying to start over and get that popular again irked him, and he glared at the front seats and willed Kevin or daddy to have an accident... Only for his own bladder to start to twinge causing him to start squirming in his seat. Sitting shotgun was Kevin, the poor boy who had gone through all of that horrible diaper humiliation amazingly didn't hold too much of a grudge against his little brother, and in the time between Christmas and now he had even gone through a growth spurt. Thinking about all the teasing he had gone through he had developed a thicker skin for it but it was still hard at times and he knew he was the main reason behind daddy deciding to move to a different state. He did feel bad for Ben losing all of his friends and tried to cheer him up by reminding him that they could still stay in touch via Facebook and the like, but the brat had just tried to fart on him. Looking back at Ben he saw the little guy squirming again and turned back around, rolling his eyes. Ben who had actually gone up a size or two just had too small of a bladder for the big gulps he kept insisting on getting, and because of that, they were a good hour or more behind schedule, having to stop so often for Ben to take a whiz. He toyed with suggesting they just put Ben in a diaper but knowing how bad that could be... He tried to hold off on that idea. While they still had SOME of the baby stuff that had been given to Kevin, it was mostly being kept to remind Ben of what could happen to him if he was bad. (They had gotten rid of the diapers, giving them to their cousins Alex and Justin.) Kevin was about to say something to his daddy when a police siren went off and they had to pull over. Owen groaned, what else could go wrong with this trip? First, they're moving guys bailed on them meaning they had to move everything themselves (Thankfully they had gotten rid of a lot of stuff to make room in the apartment they would have starting out, it was still three-bedroom at least.) and then Ben going into full sulk mode, and Ben having to pee more often than a nervous puppy... And now the cops. Pulling over to the side of the road, Owen rolled his window down as a young blond officer walked up, stopping to check their plates. "Something the matter Officer? I thought I was going the speed limit." Owen said, flashing a nervous grin. OK, he'd been going a little over it but come on, whoever heard of getting a ticket for doing 53 in a 50 zone? "You're fine, we just had a report of a kid, not in a proper seat." The officer said, and nodded to the back seat at Ben. "What?" Ben squeaked. "Sir, did you know it's illegal to let a toddler ride around in these parts without a car seat? Not to mention just plain unsafe?" The officer asked and glared. "...I'm not a toddler! I'm 8 you dingus!" Ben yelped out, crossing his arms and glaring, while Owen facepalmed. "I am SO sorry about that officer, he's... Sensitive about his size." Owen said. Thankfully the officer just smiled. "Well, that's my mistake Mr.Eight. " He said, talking to Ben then turning his attention back to Owen. "Still, he's too small to be riding without some form of a car seat. Do you have one with you that can be used or do you need me to drive with you to the nearest store so you can pick one up?" "I... I-I have one in the U-haul officer. I'll get him in it asap." "Sir, by law I'll have to stay and make sure the child is secure." The cop said again and smirked. "Whatttt? But I don't wanna ride in a car seat! This is bulls-" "Ben buddy, I don't think you wanna swear in front of a police officer." Kevin said, interrupting his brother. "...Spit!" Ben groaned and sulked. As Owen and the cop dug through the trailer to get the car seat out, Ben and Kevin slid out of the SUV and headed to the back. "Uh, officer... Sir?" Kevin said, standing next to the squirming Ben. "You can call me Officer Tagger." The Cop said and smirked. "I really need to pee, so I was wondering if it would be OK to do it at the side of the road while Ben here watches out for me." Kevin said, a slight eye roll. It was clear to anyone with a working set of eyes who really needed to go tinkle but the cop could see Kevin was trying to be a good big brother to the little dork. "Well, normally no... But I'll let it pass just this once better make it count boys." He said, and then turned his attention as Owen finally found the car seat. Hiding from the road on the one side of the trailer Kevin turned his back to try and give Ben more privacy to attend to his urgent business and heard nothing. "Any time now Ben.. We can't wait out here all day with your willy in the air." Kevin said. "I'm trying OK! I got all pee shy!" "Ben, the next rest stop isn't planned for like a half-hour... And I doubt we'll get another chance." "I'll just pee into my cup if I have too!" "Just remember to toss the cup out this time if you do that..." Kevin snickered, recalling yesterday's incident. "Shut up! That wasn't funny!" Ben frowned and then finally, managed to get a few weak streams out... His bladder wasn't emptied but it would last till the next fill up. Hopefully. By the time the boys were finished, the car seat was all set up and ready to go and Ben paused at the backdoor, looking at it, pouting. He had forgotten just how freaking babyish the thing was and looked over at Officer Tagger. "I.. what if I just sat on some books instead!!" He asked. "I'm sorry son, that's just not safe. Just be a good boy and take your seat." Tagger said. Ben gave off a huge sigh, but, scared with the thought of going to jail (and of course not realizing it would just mean a ticket for daddy) he slowly climbed in and sat in the stupid baby seat. "I'm gonna complain the rest of the way there!' He warned his daddy. "Because you've been a picture of sunshine up till now." Owen muttered and buckled him in. Satisfied Officer Tagger nodded the family off and smiled. "...Cute kid. Almost feel bad for lying about the law." He mused, having really been called on because his friend asked him to teach him a lesson after encountering him at a rest stop. Sure it was a slight abuse of power but really, who would argue that with how pouty the little brat was, he didn't kinda deserve it. Strapped in tight Ben was holding his drink with both hands and slurping on it again, clearly in a bad mood so Kevin didn't even bother to try and tell him to hold off on the drinks. They were making good time and listening to an old 80's rock station with Owen singing along and making a dork of himself in the process, which only made both boys groan for him to stop when they were coming up to other traffic. Soon enough Ben's bladder was full up again and he was squirming like crazy in the car seat. Thankfully they were at the rest stop by then and Daddy was parking the SUV, they didn't need gas yet so this was a straight-up snack and bathroom stop. "Alright boys, I'm gonna go get us some munchies, you two go get drinks and use the potty." Owen called out to the boys. Looking in the rearview mirror he spotted Ben struggling to get out of the car seat and smirked. "Kevin, you wanna go and help Ben out?" he asked, getting out and walking into the store after Kevin nodded. Sliding out of the front seat Kevin came around to the back door and opened it. "Awww, is widdle Benny having troubles wiff him's car seat?" Kevin asked. He was having a flashback to Christmas day, and him being stuck in the car seat and his own humiliation at a gas station... Though there was a bit more of a crowd around this time. "S-Shut up and get me out before I soak myself!" Ben grumbled and fussed with the buckles, to no avail. "Well if you'd stop fussing and let me get at them I would!" Kevin said a sudden evil thought came into his head. Fumbling over the buckles Kevin made a face and then kept fumbling over them. "What are you waiting for!? Get me out of here!" Ben whined and kicked his legs, blushing and squirming like CRAZY now. "I think you busted something, they're not coming undone!" Kevin said, faking a worried look on his face. "W-What!?" Ben yelped. "Hang on Benny! I'll go get daddy!" Kevin said and took off, leaving the door open and showing off Ben in his car seat to a family of 4, who's two girls were pointing and giggling. Getting inside Kevin found his dad, having a casual conversation with one of the clerks while paying for some hot dogs and potato wedges and Kevin tugged on his dad's leg, giving a perfect performance. "Daddy! I can't get the buckles undone on Ben's car seat and he's gonna burst any second!" He said. "Crapppp! Kevin stay here and get our food when it's ready!" Owen said, having been waiting on the fresh wedges to be done, and he dashed off. Ben was on the verge of tears and trying to cross his legs, repeating a little poem out loud as he willed himself NOT to pee his pants. "C-Cross your legs, do a dance, that's the way to keep dry pants..cross your legs, do a dance, that's the way to keep dry pants." Looking up he was glad to see daddy who smiled. "Heyyy buddy, relax... Well don't relax too much... But daddy's here." he said and bent down, and pressed down hard on the buckles, figuring they had been jammed and Kevin just hadn't been strong enough and the buckle clicked free. Scrambling out of the SUV Ben tried to get inside and to the boy's room, making it all the way to door before well, the unthinkable happened. The pain in his bladder was JUST too much and as the bathroom door opened, and out came Kevin, there was Ben, soaking his pants like a toddler. A few things happened rapidly following Ben's soaking. A) He started to howl like a banshee as tears flooded his eyes. B) Daddy showed up and tried to calm him down C) Kevin ran out to the SUV to get Ben a change of pants and D) The workers at the gas station grumbled about another little friggin brat pissing on the floor. Changed and in dry pants and undies, Ben was sulking big time and almost crying, holding daddies hand as they went back out to the SUV, glaring at the stupid car seat. "I don't want to go back in it. It's that things fault I peed myself!" Ben whined, sounding like a toddler. "Well, buddy it's the law... But you're right. It is the reason you had your accident... " Owen said and ruffled Ben's hair. "Well, what if I get stuck again!?" Ben huffed. "We could always just go get some diapers for Ben." Kevin spoke up making Ben turn and glare at him. "Kevin, I don't thi-" Owen started. "Hear me out, Ben's not wearing them cuz he's a baby he's just wearing them so no more accidents happen and going in a diaper is better than getting it everywhere." Kevin said, holding his hands up. "No! I'm not gonna! You can make me! Right daddy!?" Ben huffed and turned to look at Owen, who.. Had a thoughtful look on his face. "...Oh, shit.." Ben muttered under his breath. It's quite possible that at some point, there had been someone who had a much louder fit, or who squirmed, kicked and fought every second of a diaper change, but somehow Owen doubted it. In the end, it took three warning swats to Ben's butt to get the diaper on him, and another warning swat for Ben not to remove it. That wasn't even mentioning the crying fit they'd put up with in the parking lot as Owen had been forced to send Kevin in to buy the diapers. (They'd had no less then 3 people come over, sure that Owen was assaulting Ben from the screaming, and Owen had been forced to explain the situation out.) Not helping matters was apparently the only diapers the store had, had were the thicker overnight diapers, which meant that the crotch and butt of Ben's red shorts bulged with the padding and if he lifted his arms up too high his white t-shirt rode up and showed the waistband of the diaper poking out the top of his shorts. (Kevin had tried to tell him he could just lose the shorts, and well, that went over about as well as you could expect.) Right now Ben was munching lightly on his third hotdog, having demanded one of Kevin's two as payment for having to go through all of this. (Though it had been pointed out he didn't normally have this big of an appetite and he might be overloading his tummy) He was also slurping loudly so as to annoy Owen and Kevin with it. "You... Might wanna slow down there on the fluid intake Benny." Kevin tried to offer. "That's kinda what got you int-" Kevin trailed off as Ben glared at him and raised his drink as if he was gonna toss it at Kevin. "Orrrr not, go ahead, chug." Kevin sad hastily. It was another 15 minutes after Ben finished off the last of his food and his drink that some soft snoring was head from the back seat and Kevin and Owen smiled. "Heh, stuffed himself and conked out. He's actually pretty cute like this... When he's sleeping." Kevin chuckled softly. "Well don't get used to it. You know we're not gonna keep him in diapers." Owen said. "I know daddy and I wouldn't wanna make him stay in them anyways. I'm just saying, he's pretty freaking adorable... Again, while asleep." "Yeahhh here's hoping he stays conked out till we get to the apartment. I could really use a break from the fits." Owen agreed.
