Chapter 3

Veronica poked her head in to Delaney's office. "Delaney, It's time to get ready for bed, sweetie."

"But it's only seven thirty..." Delaney whined. There was a longstanding rule that if Delaney (or Alex for that matter) leaked it meant the whole next week in diapers. It didn't matter if the leak was because Delaney couldn't take the diaper off or not, a leak was a leak.

"I know, but I want you to be ready to go to bed when the time comes." Veronica said, the motherly tone coming out in her voice. "Besides, you leaked this morning. That means that mommy's in charge." She winked at Delaney.

"OK," Delaney said, standing and waddling toward Veronica. "I needs a change anyway..." The diaper that she wore was visibly sagging, almost hanging below the hem of the skirt. "We really going to go to the zoo tomorrow?"

"Yep, and Mommy will let you pick if you go as a boy or a girl." Veronica said, giving Delaney a quick pat on the butt as she passed the doorway of the room. "I've already laid out what you're going to wear to bed, as well as diapers and plastic pants."

Delaney frowned. She didn't like wearing plastic pants to bed, they always made the diapers hot and uncomfortable; especially on warm nights like this night were forecast to be. "Do I have to wear the plastic pants?" she asked, knowing what the answer was going to be.

"Yep, Can't have you leaking in mommy's bed..." Veronica replied. Following Delaney into the master bedroom. Sitting on the bed was a pink Hello Kitty night gown and sitting on top of that was a pair of pink diapers.

Delaney knew how many diapers were in the diaper closet. She could be kept in diapers twenty four hours a day, seven days a week for at least three months without needing a restock. When they had first ordered the diapers, Delaney was skeptical about wearing them, not believing that she would become a better worker because of them. Turned out, like usual, Veronica had been right and knew that not having to stop to go to the bathroom would help Alex focus better. Veronica had picked the pink diapers, partially to remind Alex who was in charge and partially to help bring the girlish side of Alex out to play a little easier. Delaney laid on the bed, next to the night gown and placed her hands behind her head. It was where Veronica wanted hands while she was diapering Alex. Babies didn't help with their diapers, after all. Veronica quickly removed the saturated diapers, placing them next to Delaney on the bed, before sliding the first dry diaper under Delaney and wiping the area that would be covered by the diaper. Picking up the lavender scented powder, Veronica sprinkled a fair amount on Alex's skin, before pulling the diaper up and taping the first one in place. She quickly repeated the process with the other diaper before snapping the plastic pants up. Delaney visibly relaxed as the plastic pants got tighter.

"Remember when you said that this wouldn't relax you?" Veronica asked, a chuckle escaping her lips. "Insisted on it even..." She held her hands out to help Delaney sit up and put the night gown on. She picked the night gown up and dropped it over Delaney's head, helping her pull her arms out of the sleeves.

"Yes..." Delaney blushed. Any time she was up against a deadline, she was wearing a diaper. The first few times that she had stress incontinence urges, it had taken her by surprise. The diapers had helped with that, and as a result, it was one less thing that Delaney had to worry about. If there was a deadline, diapers were in her future, and there were no shortage of deadlines... "You were right, just as you always are..."

Veronica gave Delaney a kiss on the forehead. "I just try to look out for you, that's all," she said. "Go work on one of your projects. I want you to try to get to bed early because tomorrow is going to be a long day at the zoo."

"Yes, Mommy." Delaney said, skipping toward her office.
