Car Trip (Sneak Peek)
Hunter's family is going on a trip to the cabin, just like many other families do in the summer. The real fun will come in the full story, but this should give some hints of what's to come!
Koda inspected himself in the mirror. When he lifted his shirt, he could see the waistband of his Pull-ups. They did not look the same as his underwear, no matter what mom said. Yet, they really did not show themselves once his shirt was pulled down. Maybe his butt looked a little bigger in his shorts, but that was probably only because he was looking for it.
Turning to leave his bedroom, Koda saw a welcome sight. Hunter, still wearing bright yellow footies, was being led down the hall to get into the car. Judging by his waddle and the sheer size of his diaper bulge, Hunter was still in his overnight diaper. Hunter whined into his pacifier as he saw Koda's grin.
"You can talk to big brother once you're in the car." Their mom said. "We're leaving in ten minutes, Koda."
"Okay mom!" Koda loved that his older brother was trapped in a second infancy. It had been forever it seemed since he had worn underwear of any sort or stayed up past eight or had any of a number of big boy privileges that Koda enjoyed daily. Hunter's mane was fuller than Koda's, but that seemed to be the only area where he had more maturity. Koda doubted that Hunter could even use the toilet if he were allowed to by now.
"Can't I get dressed like Koda?" Hunter asked, shifting bashfully back and forth from foot to foot as he stood in the driveway as his mom got his car seat ready for him.
"You'll be much cozier like this, Hunter." She said. "We're nearly running late and I don't have time to get you dressed." She patted his puffy bottom and had the teen climb into his car seat, his thick overnight diaper just barely fitting. He sucked on his pacifier as she buckled him in, still rather upset about being put in a car seat in the first place.
He could not help but notice the stark difference between him and Koda as the younger lion got into the car. Koda wore a t-shirt and shorts and had an utter lack of a diaper bulge. He could buckle himself and had no car seat or even a booster seat. He smiled at Hunter as if they were best friends.
"You look so cozy!" Hunter wondered if he had heard mom refer to Hunter's outfit as cozy or if he had coincidentally arrived at the same word.
"Koda." Their mom said. "You're going to be in charge of Hunter's things. If he gets fussy, feed him a bottle. I've packed some books and things like that to help keep him entertained. Maybe he can listen to some music too." Hunter's ears flattened and he grumbled. None of those things sounded particularly fun to him.
He watched as his dad got into the car. Hunter was eager to just leave since the sooner that they left, the sooner he would be able to get out of this car seat. His dad looked back at him and Koda, smiling.
"All set, boys?"
"Yeah." Koda and Hunter answered in unison, although one of them was a great deal more enthusiastic than the other.
