Playing Baby Scene 14

Sandra drove in silence. She was deep in thought and it troubled her.It had been a tough couple of weeks and she was glad go get out of the house for a while, still some thought would not go away. Would her daughter really want to stay a baby forever? That certainly couldn’t happen. Still the thought nipped at her mind like a dripping faucet that would not let go. She began to have images cross her mind of her daughter. She saw her daughter graduating high school and getting married still in diapers. The thought made her shutter. She needed to be sure that Lizzy would give up this idea by the end of summer. Sandra parked the car at the front door to the restaurant and headed inside. Hariot was already seated and motioned for Sandra to join her. Soon Sandra was sitting across from her old friend. Sandra sat in silence and looked at Hariot.
” Your oddly quiet this evening. ” Hariot commented.
” Lot on my mind. ” Sandra responded.
” Like what?” Hariot asked simply.
Sandra took a deep breath and let loose. She told her friend about her conversation with Keri and the concerns that Keri had raised. She expressed her concerns that her daughter may never want to give this up and the fear that this brought her. She even talked about the image of her daughter walking down the isle still in diapers.
Hariot listened to her friend and thought for a moment. After a few minutes she looked Sandra straight in the eye and simply said. ” So.”
” what do you mean so?”
” I mean the very thing you think I mean. If the summer ends and Lizzy does not want to give this up then so be it. Its not the end of the world.”
” Are you kidding me?”
” Not at all.”
” Not the end of the world it would be disastrous.”
” Why. ”
” Well ” Sandra stopped and tried to think of a reason. Truth be told nothing was coming to her mind.
” Listen up Sandra. Your my friend and I want whats best for you and for your daughter. Being an infantilist is not the end of the world. Sure its different but its not crazy or anything like that. The purpose of this summer is to help Lizzy.
” Yes ” Sandra interrupted. ” to help her get rid of this desire to be a baby and grow up.”
” No. ” Hariot said. ” The purpose was to get her to be OK with what she is and wants. You hope that this is to give them up for good. That’s your feeling and it may in fact be hers. But she has to come to the decision all on her own. Otherwise it will do more harm than good in the long run. ”
” But I don’t want my baby in diapers fro the rest of her life. ”
” Your baby may in fact be in diapers for the rest of her life and that’s OK. At the end of the summer she will just have to learn how to take care of herself and not have you to help her. ”
Sandra sat in silence and thought threw what Hariot was saying. It made since to her in some manor and she was begging to see the light of of the conversation. As dinner was winding up Sandra remember something that Lizzy and she did every year during fourth of July. An idea popped into her head. This would cure Lizzy of her baby desire once and for all. Standing up Sandra looked at her friend. ” I just can not have that in my life. She will give it up if I have to force it out of her. ” She said with assurance and walked away. Hariot grabbed the check and watched her friend leave. ” God help her. ” She thought as she reached into her purse to grab her credit card. A pacifier fell out onto the table. Hariot quickly picked it up and went to pay the check.
