The Life

~~~~~~~~~Liz's POV~~~~~~~~~

After all the excitement yesterday little Jay ended up falling asleep pretty quickly, snuggling his new little friend that he named Gray. He was so precious laying there in his crib I couldn't help but internally squeal as I took a picture of him for the baby album I plan to make.

I woke up to light streaming through the blinds in what was previously Jay's room as I yawned, groggily pulling myself out of bed and making my way to the kitchen after checking the nursery to find Jay still sleeping, bringing the baby monitor with me and setting it on the counter as I pulled out a pan and some pancake mix. I set out making us some breakfast, plating the last pancake as I heard rustling and a yawn from the baby monitor. I cut off the stove and made my way to the nursery to find my baby boy rubbing his eyes with his fists, his paci hanging halfway out of his mouth as I cooed at how cute he looked.

"Good morning, my sweet baby" I cooed, making his head shoot up and look over at me.

"Mownin Mawmy!" He said, bouncing excitedly as soon as he saw me standing there. God I could power an entire nation with his bright smile.

"Did you sleep well, pumpkin?" I asked as I lowered the side of his crib as he stretched out his arms, making grabby hands to be picked up, which I happily obliged.

"Uh huhs! I hads dweam I was astwonaut fwying frough space and visitin pwanets an..." He went on about his dream as I smiled, exhilarated to see him this happy.

I carry him, while he's still holding his stuffie Gray, to the changing table as I felt his diaper was definitely wet. He blushed a little as I started changing him, hiding his face behind Gray as I cooed at him. After he was all changed into a fresh diaper I picked him up again, carrying him to the dining room, setting him in the new highchair I'd set up, locking him in. "Okay baby, time for breakfast" I said sitting next to him with both plates of pancakes.

"Pancakes!!!" He squeals reaching for his plate.

"Nuh uh, pumpkin, mommy doesn't want you making a mess" I say snapping a space themed bib around his neck before cutting off a chunk of his pancakes that I doused in syrup and butter, sticking a baby fork in it and lifting it to his mouth.

"B-buh wha bout chu food, mawmy?" He asks, his concern for me making my heart melt.

"Don't worry baby, mommy will eat her pancakes in between feeding you. Now open wide for the airplane!" I say excitedly, making whooshing and propeller noises as as swoosh the fork, making Jay giggle as he opens his mouth wide. I repeated this process, taking bites of my own pancakes here and there until we were both done with our food. Despite feeding him myself, he still got a good bit of syrup on his cheeks and chin wich I wiped off the bulk of with his bib, followed by some baby wipes.

"There's my little prince, he was buried under all that syrup" I say, eliciting a fit of giggles from my baby boy as I unlocked his highchair and picked him up, making my way to the living room with him and setting him down in his playpen with his toys and Gray, turning on the TV to cartoons.

"Mommy's gonna go do some work while you play, okay sweetie? If you need anything just yell and mommy will be right there, okay?" I said as I leaned over the playpen.

"Otay mawmy!" He said, starting to play with his toys as I kissed his forehead and made my way to my room, sitting at the desk and setting the baby monitor next to me. opening my laptop to start on work.

I work for an hour, listening to the sounds of my baby playing through the baby monitor, my thoughts occasionally wandering to how happy Jay's been the past couple days. A stark contrast to how he's been lately. His job has been bringing him down, getting no respect from management and working extra hard to get work done for not a worth while amount of money and still they expected more of him. A few of the times I had asked to move in I offered to pay the bills so he could quit that god awful job, which I could do easily. I come from a wealthy family who's company I have worked at since graduation. I make more than enough to pay the bills twice over each month and then some, yet he would always turn me down saying he didn't want to burden me with that, despite me telling him repeatedly that it was no burden to me at all. Now with him as my baby, I wanted him to finally quit that job. I wanted to absolutely spoil him and give him the opportunity to let his inner child flourish. Knowing today was his one off day and knowing his work was peeved that I had called out for him yesterday I knew I had to ask him sometime today.

As I think of this I notice an hour has passed and I should check on Jay. I stand and walk into the living room where he's still happily playing, babbling to himself. I walk up, catching him off guard and making him jump as he didn't hear me approach.

"Oh my, sorry my little jumping bean" I say, stifling a laugh as I open the playpen, walking in and bending down to pick him up.

"Mawmy!!!" He squeals with joy as he wraps his arms around me, giving me a big kiss on the cheek.

"Awww, hi there pumpkin, did you miss me?" I asked, giggling a little as I bounced him, taking notice of his wet and soiled diaper.

"Uh huhs! Me an Gway buildin a castle!" He said excitedly, point to his blox that were built up in the rough shape of a castle around his stuffie.

"Awww, do I have a little prince in my arms?" I ask, kissing his forehead.

"Uh huhs! An Gway da knight!" He says excitedly, bouncing in my arms.

"Well I think my little prince needs a diapee change, don't you?" I ask him, making him blush as he wiggles a little, seeming to just take notice of his soiled diaper and burying his face in my neck embarrassed.

"It's okay sweetie, you're a baby and that's what babies are supposed to do" I say giving him another kiss on the forehead as I start to walk to his nursery, stopping in my tracks as he starts to whine and reach for Gray behind me.

I turn around, picking up his stuffie and handing it to him with him thanking me and embracing his friend as I walk the three of us into the nursery. I lay him on the changing table, opening his diaper and starting to clean him up, a process he is still embarrassed by as he wiggles a little, hiding his face behind Gray, making me chuckle a little and coo at him. As I finished taping up his new diaper I feel this is a good a time as any to ask him, so I sit him up on the changing table and bend down to meet his eyes.

"Jay, can you be big for me for a minute. I hate to ask, but what I need to talk to you about is very important." I say, making him blink a couple times, seeing him a little sad to have to come out of littlespace, something I intend to never make him have to do again if he doesn't want to be big.

~~~~~~~~~Jay's POV~~~~~~~~~

I shake my head a little as I blink, pulling myself out of littlespace, feeling a little sad to leave it and also a little nervous about what Liz has to talk to me about.

"O-okay Liz, what do you need?" I ask, sounding more nervous than I'd intended to.

"It's nothing bad Jay, I promise. There's just been something on my mind the past couple days....You know you have work tomorrow, right?" She asked me, making my heart sink a little. In truth I'd totally forgot about that.

"Oh...yeah....right...." I said, sad knowing that the bulk of the next few days would be spent in that hell instead of here playing with my toys and watching cartoons.

"Jay I've can't help but notice how much happier you've been the past couple days. Happier than I think I've seen you since we graduated and you got that job. Jay I've asked you a few times, but I want to ask you again. You know I make more than enough to support us. I don't want to see you anything but happy. Will you please quit that job? I want you to be free to regress as much as you like and also let me take care of you fully.

I was almost shocked. This isn't the first time she'd asked, though this time was different. She wanted to baby me full time. The offer was so tempting, but after all she's done for me the past couple days I didn't want to put that burden on her full time.

"Liz, I appreciate it, I really do, but I don't want to be a burd-" I started to say before she cut me off.

"James Edward Hayes, I don't want to hear that word come out of your mouth again. You are and NEVER will be a burden to me, no matter what. I love you, more than anything . I WANT this. I want to take care of you. I want to give you this life. Please, I don't want you to put up with that crappy job anymore. If you REALLY want to after a month or two, you can look for another job. Will you at least quit that place and try it?

I could help but start to tear up again for the second time I the past three days. "A-are you sure?" I ask.

"Of course I am, Jay. I wouldn't have suggested it if I wasn't." She said, kissing my forehead.

"A-alright, but if you ever feel like it's too much and want me to start working again, I want you to tell me immediately, okay?" I said, smiling wit a couple tears rolling down my cheeks.

"Of course baby boy. mommy'll call and tell them you quit. You can go back into littlespace now, sweetie" she said, as I sighed, smiling brightly as she wiped away my tears.

"Tank chu, Mawmy!" I said, slipping back into littlespace almost instantly as she started to pick me up again, carrying me back into the living room to continue playing.
