TRIGGER WARNING: BULLYING, VIOLENCE, AND STRONG LANGUAGE

~~~~~~~~Ethan's POV~~~~~~~

Walking into school something seemed....off. It felt like everyone was staring at me funny. Getting halfway to class someone yelled out. "There's the big baby!" Making my head turn before feeling someone smack my butt. "Oh my gosh, he's even wearing a diaper!"

"Wha?" I asked in fear, turning to see one of the popular kids, Lewis standing behind me with the biggest wicked grin on his face, making my heart drop.

"Hey! It's not nice to make fun of people because of their disabilities" Marcus said, getting between Lewis and I, his face contorted into a protective look of anger.

"Disability my ass! How do you explain this, huh?" He said, pulling out his phone, showing us a picture of Marcus carrying me out of my mother's house in childish clothing, paci in my mouth and Chompy in my arms, followed by another of him buckling me into my car seat.

Daddy tried to grab at his phone, but he was too fast. "Uh uh, you ain't getting my phone, not that it matters anyway, I already sent the pictures to the whole school so EVERYONE knows what a big baby little Ethie-wethie is." He said, making tears start to roll down my face as I realized everyone HAD been staring at me as Daddy looks like he's about to kill Lewis.

"Hey, what's going on here?" A familiar voice called out as Thomas walked up with a girl holding his hand I assumed to be his girlfriend.

"Thomas, man you've got to check this out! This little freak is a huge baby!" Lewis said, turning his phone to Thomas.

"What the fuck!? How did you get this picture!?" Thomas asked, staring wide eyed at the screen.

"I live down the street from his "mommy's" house apparently and saw the little freak being carried out by Marcus. They're such losers, right?" He laughed, a crowd forming around us, chattering, some laughing with him, some looking angry, and others looking uncomfortable.

Before Lewis knew what hit him he was on the ground after Thomas punched him. "What the hell!? What was that for!?" He yelled, looking up at Thomas.

"You little shit, how could you do something like this to him!?" Thomas yelled down at him.

"What!? You're taking the freaks' side over your best friend's!?" Lewis yelled angrily.

"Best friend? Not anymore. And if you got a problem with Marcus and Ethan then you've got a problem with me! They're not the only ones here in the age regression community" Thomas spat back.

"He's right, Ethan's not the only "big baby" here. I am too!" Thomas's girlfriend said, staring down Lewis, reaching into her purse and pulling out a paci before popping it in her mouth.

"What!? Kate you're one too!?" Lewis asked shocked as an uproar of gasps broke out amongst the crowd as the two came to stand side by side with me and Daddy, Thomas wrapping his arms around both me and Kate.

"They're not alone!" someone called out from the crowd, as one of the students I previously saw looking nervous, Max, stepped forward, his nervousness having dissipated. "I'm a little!"

"Me too!"

"Yeah, same here!"

"You got a problem with it, Lewis?!"

Several students stepped forward, each joining the four of us in the center of the crowd.

"I...you... you're all freaks!" Lewis screamed as the majority of the crowd started to turn against him, backing him into a corner.

"That's enough! What in the blazes is happening here!?" Mr. Wright, the psychology teacher yelled, stepping through the crowd to us, seeing our little group, noticing Kate and Max with pacis in their mouths.

"Lewis here decided to distribute an embarrassing picture of Ethan throughout the school and came up to us harassing us as soon as we got here today, Mr. Wright" Daddy said, pulling me close as my tears had started to dry up from everyone standing up for me.

"Is that so? Might I see this picture if that's okay with Ethan?" He asked, making me nod hesitantly, not that it mattered much with the whole college already knowing.

Thomas handed Mr. Wright his phone, the text from Lewis pulled up. "Mr. Wright, Ethan uses age regression as a coping mechanism to deal with the trauma of having been...abused by his father as well as being bullied by his fellow students in school for his disability that causes him to need diapers" Daddy said in somewhat of a hushed tone to Mr. Wright.

"I see... Mr. Smith, do you have any idea what the college's policy is on bullying, especially when it has to do with another student being disabled?" Mr. Wright said, looking sternly at Lewis.

"I...n-no sir" Lewis said, shrinking into himself.

"I suggest you march on up to the dean's office and hope by some miracle after this little stunt you don't lose your scholarship and place at this college" Mr. Wright said in a slightly raised voice, making Lewis take off running to the office. "And no running!"

He then turned to the crowd. "And all of you, get to class, NOW!" He said, making the crowd disperse. As we started to leave too he turned to us, a softer expression on his face. "Wait a minute, may I have a word with all of you?" He asked the group of people that stood up for me.

Everyone nodded, turning towards him. "I'm assuming that the two of you are also regressors?" He asked, addressing Kate and Max, pacis still in their mouths.

The two nodded as he turned to the rest of the group. "And the rest of you?"

Thomas explained how he was Kate's caregiver, another, Sarah explained that she was Max's, as well as a couple of other's also being caregiver and little.

"I want to tell all of you that what you did here today, standing up for Ethan and revealing this very vulnerable part of yourselves was extremely brave and I want you all to know that your coping mechanism is valid and if anyone, ANYONE picks on you for it, then you have me in your corner and you can come to me anytime, okay little ones?" Mr. Wright said, making all of us smile and nod. "Okay, now all of you get to class, I'll inform your teacher's of what happened so there will be no issues with your attendance.

As we walked away Daddy pulled my paci out of his pocket, holding it out to me. "I guess there's not much point hiding it with the whole school knowing baby. Would you like your paci?" He asked as I smiled and nodded, taking it in my mouth, sucking on it contently as he wrapped his arm around me, guiding me to class.
