The Babysitter

“Be good for the babysitter, ok Jimmy?” Jimmy’s mom told him in front of the babysitter’s front door.
“Don’t cause any trouble, or you’ll be in trouble.” His dad said.
“Yes dad, I know already, you’ve told me a thousand times.” Jimmy said. His parents were going to some lame couple’s retreat for the weekend, and although Jimmy insisted he could stay by himself, they wanted him to have a babysitter. They found Amy’s add while searching through the classifieds, and it seemed like such great service for a very low rate. Thus, they hired Amy.
“Ok, son, we’re heading off now. Just ring the doorbell, Amy said she’d be home.” his father told him.
“Ok dad. See you Monday.”
“Love you, Jimmy!” His mother called from the car as they were pulling out. Jimmy gave them a smile and waved. After his parents drove out of sight, he walked up to the doorbell and pushed the button.
“Coming!” he heard a female voice call. It sounded like a young woman’s voice. The door then opened to reveal a pretty female Latias smiling down at him. Even though she was hovering two feet off of the ground, she was tall! The top of Jimmy’s head only reached her chest. “My my, you’ve never seen a Latias, now have you?” she asked.
“No ma’am.” he responded.
“Well, that’s not a big surprise, seeing as how my whole family lives on one little island. I’m the only member of my family to actually live on the mainland of Hoenn... And I like it here. But enough small talk, why don’t you come in and make yourself comfortable.” Amy told him.
“Yes, ma’am.” he said.
“you can just call me Amy, and you don’t have to use ma’am... Although you do have excellent manners for a kid!” she said, slightly amazed.
“Ok.... Um... Amy.” he said. Jimmy entered the house, which smelled oddly like baby powder to him... But he dismissed it because he knew he was just in a different environment than his usual home setting. Amy’s house was not a mansion, but it was very large and spacious. Jimmy walked over to the couch and sat himself down.
“You can turn on the TV if you’d like, the remote is on the coffee table.” Amy called as she disappeared down a hall and into one of the rooms. Jimmy located a large remote with the letters “TV” written on it in sharpie marker. There was also “DVD player” and “Satellite TV” remotes. He hit the power button on the remote, and the large TV slowly fizzled into life. Whoever was watching it last had turned the channel to the Disney channel, and there was currently a Hannah Montana episode playing at the moment. Jimmy didn’t really like the Disney channel, so he picked up the satellite TV remote and turned it to Cartoon Network after locating it on the guide. No more than ten minutes of “Billy and Mandy” had gone by when Amy reappeared from the room in the hallway. Either Jimmy’s eyes were playing tricks on him, or she had one of those mischievous smiles about her. He glanced again, and it must’ve been his imagination, because she appeared to be smiling normally now. Wow, not ten minutes into the weekend and I’m seeing things. Jimmy thought to himself.

Since she had left for the mainland, Amy had always had the desire to raise children of her own. That would not be a problem, except that no Latios were willing enough to come to the mainland with her, and she was not attracted to any other pokémon enough to have a successful relationship. So, she set up a babysitting service, hoping that would cater to her motherly feelings, which it did for awhile, but then she wanted a little bit more. So, she’d treat her clients in an infantile fashion, observed if they liked it or not, and if they did, she continued this. About 80% of her clients loved it this way, and amazingly, none of the 20% who didn’t had told their parents, with one exception, to which she got the response “well, he probably needed it anyway, seeing as how he acts like that at home too.” Amy had everything ready for the new client in her little nursery room she had made out of the guest bedroom, so she went out to the living room to find him watching TV. He seemed to notice her smile, so she quickly reverted back to her normal polite smile.
“Oh Jimmy, I have a game that I want to play with you, and if you don’t like this game after fifteen minutes, I’ll let you stop playing immediately.” Amy said with her mischievous smile returning.
“Um.... Ok?” Jimmy told her, puzzled. Amy took his hand and helped him off the couch.
“Come, follow me.” she said to him. She led Jimmy down the hallway, and opened the door to her little nursery. When Jimmy saw it, he asked,
“We’re playing this game in the baby’s room?” Jimmy said, despite seeing no baby in the house.
“Why Jimmy, you are the baby!” Amy said, giggling.
“Hey wait-” Jimmy could barely get out before Amy started undressing him in front of a changing table. She was experienced at this now, so she had his clothes off faster than Jimmy could even do it himself. Jimmy tried to run out of the room, but Amy caught his paw just in time. She knew he’d make a run for it, so she was ready.
“Aww, cmon little Jimmy, you agreed to play with me.” Amy said in a mock-sad voice.
“But.. But... This isn’t what I had in mind!” Jimmy stammered.
“Trust me, you’ll enjoy it.” Amy reassured him. She effortlessly lifted him on the changing table, to which she got a surprised look. “Oh, trust me, I’ve easily lifted several times your weight.” She told him, giggling. Amy quickly powdered little Jimmy, and had a fresh diaper on him before he could even resist. Jimmy looked down at himself and blushed a very deep red. “It’s okay, little Jimmy, no one is going to see you but me.” Amy said. She then put a red shirt on him that matched his fur color, and some white socks on his feet. “Aww, you look adorable!” Amy said excitedly, admiring her handiwork.
“You know what? This isn’t that bad!” Jimmy said, looking at himself in a nearby mirror, despite his face still resembling that of a tomato.
“See, told you, silly. Now, one more thing...” Amy said as she inserted a pacifier into Jimmy’s mouth. Jimmy just smiled innocently back at her. “Aww, you’re such a cute baby!” Amy cooed. She picked Jimmy up in her arms, supporting him at his bottom. She was carrying him to the couch when she heard the door bell ring. “Hmm, I wonder who that could be.” She said to herself. She looked at Jimmy, and he had a look of fear about him. “Oh, don’t worry, it’s probably the mailman with a package for me, he sees me with diapered kids of all ages, so you wouldn’t be any different, hon.” she told him. Jimmy still looked a little worried as Amy used one arm to support him while the other opened the door. The instant the doorbell-ringer’s face came into view, Jimmy let out a little cry and buried his face into Amy’s soft downy feathers. It was his best friend from school, Kiara, standing at the door.
“Hello Ms. Latias, I see you have a new client. I just stopped by for a visit and... Hey wait, is that.... Jimmy?” she said, pressing a hand over her mouth to stop the giggling. If it was possible, Jimmy buried his face deeper into Amy’s feathers.
“Yup, this is my newest client, Jimmy. His parents are out of town for the weekend, and they hired me to baby-sit for them. I’ll bet Jimmy didn’t expect to be literally “baby” sat, now did he?” she said, chuckling to herself. Jimmy was feeling so embarrassed, he began to tremble. Kiara looked genuinely concerned now.
“Aww, it’s okay Jimmy, don’t cry ok?” she said. Then she had an idea. “Hey, Ms. Latias... Could I hold Jimmy for a few minutes? I’ll bet it would really calm him down.”
“Sure you can, hon, I was just about to give him a nap anyway, so I’ll let you give him a bottle. Come on in!” Amy told Kiara. The two of them came into the house, and Amy rested on the couch with Jimmy still buried in her downy feathers, trembling. “Kiara, sweetie, would you be kind enough to heat up a bottle for little Jimmy here? You know where they are.” Amy said.
“Of course, Ms. Latias.” Kiara responded.

Kiara wandered into the kitchen and opened the large refrigerator. Inside were several bottles of milk that Amy had added various ingredients to, such as honey for flavor and vitamin powder for nourishment. She selected a random bottle and put it in the microwave for the set amount of time. After it was done, instead of dabbing it on her wrist, she took a careful sip out of the bottle itself. The formula was just right, and she wanted to drink the rest, blushing slightly to herself, but she knew it was for Jimmy. She walked into the living room and handed Amy the bottle, who removed his pacifier and inserted the nipple. To Jimmy’s amazement, the milky mixture actually tasted quite good, and it was just the right temperature. While Jimmy slowly worked on that bottle, to his surprise, Kiara asked Amy,
“Um... Ms. Latias.... You don’t mind if I have one of them, do you?”
“I’ve told you before, of course you can, hon! In fact, as soon as I put Jimmy down for a nap, I’ll get you ready too.” Amy responded.
“Thanks, mimi.” Kiara said, using Amy’s pet name that most of her clients called her eventually. After Kiara warmed a bottle for herself, she sat down on the couch with it and Amy gently set Jimmy in Kiara’s lap. Jimmy was about halfway done, and he looked halfway asleep, too. He certainly had calmed down, but he was still afraid of what Kiara thought of him, so he quickly took the bottle out of his mouth and turned his head away from her. “Ah ah ah, that won’t do, you’re supposed to finish your bottle, silly! Just think of me as your big sister.” She said, giggling. She gently turned his head back again, and put his bottle back in. Jimmy glanced away shyly. Kiara set her bottle to the side, opting to have it after Jimmy was laid down for a nap. She started running her fingers through his hair, and she said softly, “Don’t worry, Jimmy, you’re safe with me. I won’t tell a soul, and in fact, you look adorable as Amy’s baby.” she said softly. After Jimmy was done, he still wasn’t all the way asleep, and he asked so softly that he was barely heard,
“Um... Can I have another?”
“Of course you can, baby. Kiara, will you be a dear and get him another one?” Amy asked. Kiara playfully rolled her eyes and agreed to it. Amy giggled and said, “What, you don’t remember how much trouble you were on your first day here?” which made Kiara blush and Jimmy confused. Kiara stayed here once? That was news to him. Oh well, he was too tired to think much about it, in fact, when Kiara came back, he only finished a quarter of the new bottle until he was sound asleep. “Come help me put him down for a nap, then I’ll go get you ready for yours, too.” Amy instructed Kiara.
“Yes, mimi.” she said as she walked down the hall with Amy, who was gently carrying Jimmy. “So, how hard was he to baby?” Kiara questioned.
“A lot easier than you!” Amy said, giggling.
“Hey, that’s not fair! You used diapers as my first time out, so I didn’t enjoy them the first time!” Kiara said, laughing.
“Hey, don’t wake the baby.... Hand me his pacifier while I tuck him in.” Amy said as she gently set Jimmy in a large crib. Kiara handed Amy a baby blue pacifier. “Now, go to the spare nursery, and ger yourself ready, I’ll be right with you.” Amy said. Kiara walked into the next room, which was a spare nursery for the rare occasion that she had two clients at once. She was just finishing undressing when Amy walked in. Amy patted the changing table. “Hop up.” she instructed. In the same manor as Jimmy, she quickly diapered Kiara, but this time she used a light pink shirt, but still used white socks. She handed Kiara her pacifier, and Kiara stuck it in her mouth. She then took Kiara’s hand and lead her to the room that Jimmy was sleeping in. She quietly lowered the rail, handed Kiara her bottle from earlier, and tucked her in beside Jimmy, who was sound asleep. “Sweet dreams, little ones.” Amy said as she turned out the light and shut the door.
