Delaney walked into the office that her husband had in their home. Sitting in front of a bank of three monitors, sat Nathan. If she didn't know the person sitting in the chair, she would have assumed that the person was a girl wearing a pink top and hair in a high ponytail.
"Nate..." Delaney said, loud enough to be heard over the soft classical music that played from the speakers on the desk. She watched as Nathan spun in the chair. The pink shirt was obviously a men's shirt, but Nate wasn't wearing pants and the diaper that he wore was rather puffy.
"Yes, Mommy?" he smiled; behind him on the desk, Delaney could see several, now empty, water bottles.
"For starters, let's get you changed..." She smiled. "Secondly, we're scheduled to meet that girl, Lilly, at the coffee shop in two hours..."
"Ok!" Nathan said, smiling at his wife, and mommy. The pair had decided to try polyamory and had started to search for someone that shared their own ideas for life. Nathan spun around and looked at the bank of monitors. The monitor on the left was showing a program compiling, the one on the right was showing a real time chat that the developers where Nathan worked used to collaborate, and the center one was showing the background which Delaney recognized as the Transgender Pride Flag.
"She knows about all of you, right?" Delaney asked, watching as Nathan stood up and waddled toward her. She had put him in double diapers that morning so that he wouldn't have to break concentration to get his work done for the day. The last few months had been rough for the young couple, Nathan was coming to terms with the fact that he might be Transgender and with Delaney's encouragement they had spent quite a bit of time together as girls...
"Yeah," Nathan said, walking into the bedroom that they shared in the house with more rooms than the two of them needed. They had the bedroom, and each had their own offices and there were still three bedrooms unoccupied. "She knows all about Kirsten as well." He laid down on the bed so that Delaney could remove the soggy diaper. She quickly, as one would with a baby, undid the soggy diaper, cleaned Nathan up, and rediapered him, snapping the crotch of the white onesie he wore before helping him to sit up.
"Ok," Delaney said, giving him a kiss on the forehead. "Go get your pants on and get ready to go, I want to be there when she gets there."
"Yes, Ma'am." Nathan replied and went into the closet, returning wearing a pair of black slacks. He looked like it was a normal day at the office.
Delaney looked at him. "You're in a dress tomorrow, Kirsten." Nathan looked at her and nodded. This was a common occurrence. Delaney often picked out clothes for Kirsten, much like a mother dressing her child for the day.
"Ok." Came a soft, almost inaudible voice that didn't match the body that it came out of. There was something about the tone of Delaney's voice. The next day was Saturday, and depending on how the meeting in an hours time went, Lilly might be coming over for dinner.
"Are you taking your laptop?" Delaney asked, walking into the hallway toward her own office.
"Yeah," His voice floated down the hall. "I figure I can keep an eye on this compilation, It's got the new database stuff so I expect something to break." Delaney walked into her own office and looked at the three monitors on her desk. They showed her email, a web browser, and the software that she used to talk to her coworkers. Hers wasn't as fancy looking as Nathan's. Her laptop sat in a dock on one side of her desk. It was always synced to the desktop through the magic of the network. She closed the dark lid on the ThinkPad X220, looking at the stickers on the outside of the lid. She still did some coding on websites and the stickers on the lid reflected that. The computer had been purchased when she started her first programming job as her employer had a bring your own device policy. Two docks and four monitors later, she was more productive than she had been at any other job she had worked. She slid the laptop in her bag and walked out of the office. In the hallway, Nathan had done the same thing.
"I sent you the picture and description that she gave..." He said, as Delaney's phone buzzed in her pocket.
"Ok." Delaney said, ignoring the phone now that she knew the message was from Nathan. "When we find her, I'll start the talking. You get excited and based on what I know about her, I don't want to scare her off. Your diapers might do that on their own..." Delaney winked at Nathan.
"Hey!" Nathan protested, "She wears too, her bio even says that she's curious about wearing 24/7..."
"Well, I'm sure that you can tell her what it's like..." Delaney said, opening the door to the garage. "I mean, you've only been wearing for the last six months... Do you even remember what it's like to not wear a diaper?"
"Yes," Nathan said, sounding unsure of himself. Delaney glanced at him as the garage door went up behind the small sedan. Back when Nathan had first brought up the diapers to Delaney, he had told her that one thing he was curious about was being unpotty trained, which would ultimately make him dependent on his diapers. "You've not made me completely dependent on the diapers yet."
"Key word there, princess." Delaney said, backing the car out of the garage. Nathan blushed and looked away when Delaney called him princess. She would do it in public quietly just to see the reaction from him. "I mean, you do go to bed dry and wake up wet every morning." She turned onto the street and drove toward town. Nathan suddenly blushed, hoping that Delaney didn't notice. He had felt the front of his diaper get warm. He still had bladder control during the day, but to him it seemed like it was fading fast. It wouldn't be too much longer and he wouldn't have a choice but to wear the diapers.
Delaney backed the car into a parking spot outside the coffee shop. She looked at the cars in the parking lot. "Any idea what she drives?" She asked Nathan. There were tables sitting out in the front of the coffee shop, umbrellas up. The sun was shining and while it was fall, it was still in the mid sixty's. Both of their laptops were rated for viewing in direct sunlight, so it wouldn't matter where they sat. "I'll get the coffees and you see if you can find her. If she's not here, pick a table and I'll join you."
Nathan looked at her. "Yes, Ma'am." He said, quietly. If you looked at the pair of them, you would probably think that they had shared roles within the relationship, but that would have been farther far from the truth. Delaney was defiantly the one in charge. The pair got out of the car and walked toward the front door of the coffee shop. Nathan was looking for Lilly. Seeing no one that matched the description that she had given him, he found a table out of the way where they could see everyone that entered. Sitting down he pulled his laptop out of his bag and sat it on the table. He connected to the WIFI in the store and then connected to his desktop at home to check on the compiling software at home. The software was done compiling and he tried to test the application. It started and then promptly crashed. He furled his brow as Delaney walked over with the coffees, or more precisely a hot chocolate and coffee...
"I don't get coffee?" Nathan asked after taking a drink of his hot chocolate. The look on his face was priceless.
"No, you don't..." Delaney said, smiling at Nathan. She leaned close to him. "You don't have a change with you and I don't want you to leak..." She said sternly into his ear. She sat back up and watched as a short girl with reddish-blonde pigtails walked into the coffee shop. "Therefore, you get the smallest hot chocolate I can get you and you'll like it..." She watched the girl walk up to the counter and order a coffee. A moment later the Barista pointed toward their table. The girl turned and walked toward the table, coffee in hand. If Delaney stood up, she would be almost a foot taller than the girl. She walked up to the table and smiled at the couple, biting her lip shyly. She watched as Nathan gave a little grimace.
"Delaney?" she asked, her voice almost inaudible over the sounds of the coffee shop. Delaney looked at the girl. The girl was wearing a pair of khaki overalls with a maroon long sleeved top under it.
"Lilly?" Delaney asked, cautiously. The girl nodded and smiled. "Sit..." Delaney said, Her tone was a little bit more dominant than she intended. Lilly sat down and looked at Delaney.
"Yes, Ma'am" Lilly said, brushing one of the pigtails back over her shoulder. "So, I'm assuming that's Nathan?"
"Yes, I am..." Nathan replied, glancing up from the display on the laptop. He had been hyper focused on the laptop because looking at Lilly in person was causing more than a few issues in side of the diaper that he wore; or more specifically, the chastity device that was inside the diaper; Lilly knew about the device, the question was if she knew what she was doing to him. "It's nice to finally meet you in person." The two of them had been conversing for the better part of eight months. Nathan had been providing updates on a blog that he had started when he had first started to acknowledge that he was transgender. Lilly was one of the first people to both ask and tease the girl known as Kirsten about the status of her diaper. Lilly and Delaney had spoken about teasing Kirsten.
"Well, you're so much cuter in person than you are in photos." Lilly said, smiling. Nathan blushed, and then grimaced.
"So I know what your interests are and they seemingly mesh with ours," Delaney said, smiling at the young girl. Delaney knew for a fact that Lilly was over 18, but she thought that Lilly could pass for much younger, possibly as young as twelve or thirteen... "What exactly do you do for a living, As you know, Nathan is a programmer," She glanced at Nathan who was back to typing like his life depended on it. "And I am a consultant specializing in networking."
"Well," Lilly said, a smile on her face. "As you said, you know most of my interests, I am a systems administrator, focusing primarily on Linux systems. I hold all three levels of the Linux Professional Institute certifications with a focus in virtualization, as well as the Red Hat Certified Engineer certification." Nathan glanced up at Lilly. He had known that she was a systems administrator, but hadn't realized that she held certifications. Delaney nodded, she held a certification: her CCNA. She had started to branch out into some specialized areas, mainly focusing on WAN and wireless technologies.
"I've thought about going after certifications, How hard were they?" Nathan asked, suddenly interested in the conversation. The distraction of tech kept the grimaces away.
"They're hard, but worth it." Lilly said, sipping her coffee. "I got a four thousand dollar a year raise when I passed my RHCE. Let's just say that can buy a fair amount of supplies..." She let the thought trail off, Delaney and Nathan understood. "Speaking of which, I should probably change before we leave...
"I'll remind you," Delaney said softly, the voice maternal. "What do you have on?"
"Paws..." Lilly said, after glancing around to see if anyone was paying attention to the three of them. No one was. The paws that Lilly was mentioning was a diaper manufactured by ABU, called Lil' Paws. Called such because of the cartoon animals printed on the diaper as well as the paw prints that would fade when they got wet. "They are only part of my stash."
"Good choice..." Delaney said, nodding. She needed to order some more diapers for Nathan and had been hearing good things about the Paws, and would have to order a pack for a trial run with as much as Nathan wet...
"So," Nathan said, "As I've told you, Delaney is a consultant, and I'm a programmer, focusing on a few obscure languages, namely Python, Java, Rust and good old fashioned C++..." Nathan winked at Lilly, who winked back. "Have you heard of any of them?"
"Maybe C++," Lilly replied, "Rust is something I have on my car, Python is a type of snake and I've got the Java right here..." She held up her coffee cup. "About the only thing I can write is scripts in bash... Well, those and kickstart files..." She let the thought trail off and then looked out the window briefly, and then blushed. Nathan missed it, Delaney didn't. A few seconds later the blush cleared from the young girls cheeks.
"Kickstart?" Nathan asked, clearly confused. "What's that?"
"Kickstart lets me configure a system, start the install, and walk away from it, to return and have the system be ready to go. It's kind of an automated way to install a system." She said, smiling. She was enthusiastic about her job and loved talking about what she did. "It's actually fairly simple once you learn the basics of how the file is laid out. What do you use for a developing environment?"
"Uh... Visual Studio..." Nathan said, glancing down at the laptop. "Why?"
"How heavy is that?" Lilly asked.
"Uh," Nathan replied, reaching up for his hot chocolate. "It weighs about three pounds..."
"I meant what does it take to make the software run?" Lilly glanced at the laptop. She could guess the specs on the laptop.
"I," Nathan stammered. "Uh, don't know..."
"What if I told you that you could do it with less resources and probably longer battery life?"
"How?" Nathan asked...
