Chapter 3.

    Luca giggled at the face George was making, along with the other two of her friends as they continued to draw in their coloring books.

    She found herself realizing how much she enjoyed her day at the daycare, even though she was now sitting in only a diaper and t-shirt.

    Still, nobody seemed to care at all about the change in underpants she had gone through, if anything the preschoolers seemed to completely take it in stride, even complimenting her on her diapers.

    She could do little but blush, especially when she found herself wetting once more, without warning.

    She looked down, appearing rather crestfallen as she felt the front of the diaper grow warm and moist, the absorbent material thirstily drinking up all of her little accident.

    Ms. Maggy had come over a few minutes later and had gently wrapped her arm around her chest and whispered into her ear.

    “Stand up for just one second, sweetie."

    Luca, confused at first as to what was happening, had obeyed and stood up, her chair moving behind her as Ms. Maggy continued to bend over her.

    She let out a small 'Meep!' of surprise as she felt Ms. Maggy slip a finger inside of the front lining of the diaper, checking her to see if she had wet.

    “Just a little soggy, nothing to worry about just yet, honey bunny."

    She gently patted the back of Luca's diaper, before withdrawing from her gentle embrace and telling her that she could get back to drawing now.

    The other preschoolers had hardly taken notice of any of this, and were continually and diligently working on their coloring, occasionally asking each other for specific colors. 

    Before Luca knew it, Ms. Maggy was once again ringing her cowbell, and she realized that preschooler must have ended for the day.

    “Everybody grab your backpacks from your cubby holes now, time to go home!"

    The kids had scrambled for their possessions, leaving Luca wondering what she should do with her herself.

    Ms. Maggy had come over to her with her belongings, gently encouraging her that next time she should try and ask some of her classmates to help her find the cubby holes so she could learn to fetch things for herself if she ever needed anything.

    “Like when you bring your favorite plushie from home! You wouldn't want to leave them all alone in your cubby hole, now would you?"

    Luca had somberly shaken her head, quietly wondering to herself whether she was going to have to walk outside wearing only her diaper and t-shirt.

    She felt a feeling of anxiety rise up out of her chest, and she flitted nervously. Her heartbeat rose as she began to feel more and more uncomfortable, her head flooding with worries.

    What if somebody I know sees me? What if they call me a freak? What if only Ms. Maggy sees me as a preschooler and everybody will know that I'm an adult? What if they make fun of me? What if-

    “Luca? Sweetie? Are you feeling alright?'

    Luca looked up, tears welling in her eyes as she saw the worried face of Ms. Maggy looking down at her, an expression of genuine care and concern displayed on her face.

    Luca sniffled, and then opened her mouth to speak, her words quivering.

    “W-wha… what if… what if somebody…"

    Without warning, she burst into tears. She bawled and scrunched up her fists, rubbed her eyes, and cried freely. She felt as if the world were closing around her, and everywhere she looked were faces that were looking at her judging her, making her feel as if she was doing something wrong.

    The strong arms of the kangaroo were wrapped around her, and Luca found herself being gently squeezed as she stuck her muzzle gently into Luca's large left ear.

    “Luca you don't have to worry about anything, I'm not going to let anybody hurt or say anything to you that you wouldn't want. You're safe here honey, I've got you darling."

    Luca leaned her head against the kangaroo's shoulder and continued to cry, feeling as if all of the emotions and bad feelings of the past were spilling out of her and onto Ms. Maggy's now slightly wet shoulder.

    The kangaroo patted her back, gently cooing and whispering into her ear that everything was going to be alright, and that she would take care that she would feel better after a good cry.

    After a minute, Luca withdrew from the embrace, looking down as the tears were still freshly displayed on her slightly red cheeks.

    “There, there now dearie. It's always nice to have a good cry and feel better afterwards, isn't it Luca?"

    She looked up, gazing into the Ms. Maggy's eyes as she nodded agreeably, finding that she actually did feel a bit better after being able to express her unpleasant feelings.

    “Come on now sweetie, let's go outside with all the other kiddos so the parents can pick them up."

    The two padded outside, Luca holding Ms. Maggy's hand the entire way as she hopped slowly ahead of her, making sure to go at the best pace Luca felt most comfortable with.

    Ms. Maggy opened the door, and the entire class spilled out into the front courtyard, many of them leaping into the arms of several parents who had arrived early to wait for their children.

    Luca waited patiently beside Ms. Maggy, standing just a little bit behind her in an unconscious attempt to shield herself from the view of any potential adults looking her way.

    To her surprise and relief, none of the parents seemed to pay her any attention at all as she continued to stand there, nervously holding her long tail between her paws while she watched each and everyone one of her new classmates wave goodbye to Ms. Maggy.

    Luca felt a small impact in her side, causing her diapers to crinkle in response.  She jumped a little in surprise, and looked down to see Annie wrapping her arms around her crinkly waist as she gave her a tight hug. 

    Luca smiled in response, stooping down and returning the hug, her nervousness forgotten as she waved goodbye to her new friend.

    “Bye bye Luca! See you later!"

    A few minutes later, the courtyard had emptied. Ms. Maggy looked down at Luca and beamed.

    “Well then, I think it's time that I take you home now, isn't it?

    Luca opened her mouth, stuttering in response.

    “B-but I'm a-"

    The kangaroo promptly interrupted. 

    “Ah ah, no buts about it! We probably need to get you out of those soggy diapers too!"

    She kneeled down, running her hand inside the front lining of her diapers once more as she did earlier and reaching around to pat her diapered bottom, which crinkled in response causing Luca to blush profusely.

    “Maybe that can wait until we get home, come on sweetie, I've already grabbed your backpack and pants. Take my hand now."

    Unsure of what else to do, Luca did as she was instructed and followed behind the kangaroo once again as she was lead over to a large family sized SUV, exactly the type of car she expected the kangaroo to drive.

    Ms. Maggy opened the front sliding door after unlocking the car, and to her utter surprise Luca saw an adult sized baby seat with a heavy looking harness positioned behind the front passenger seat.

    “Up you go!"

    Luca let out a small cry of surprise as she found herself being lifted up by the armpits by the kangaroo, who Luca realized was incredibly strong.

    Before she had a chance to even protest, Luca felt the straps of the seat being pulled around her and felt the buckles snap into place.

    She squirmed the harness holding her firmly but comfortably in place.

    “All buckled up, now let's go home!"

    The kangaroo started the car, and pooling out of the small parking lot in front of the preschool, quickly merging into traffic and heading off in the direction of what Luca assumed to be her house.

    The kobold spoke up, hesitantly at first.

    “Uhm… Ms Maggy?  I do have an apartment dorm that's not too far from the local campus… You could drop me off there!"

    The kangaroo chuckled, promptly shutting her down gently as she replied.

    “Oh nonsense dearie!  I've got to babysit you until somebody comes around to pick you up silly, but don't worry my humble abode has all the supplies needed to take care of you. I'll even let you pick out a stuffed animal if you're a well behaved little girl!"

    Luca found herself a little bit lost for words, it really did seem like the kangaroo saw her as just a little kid who needed to be taken care of for the afternoon.

    Just as Luca was trying to figure out what else to say to perhaps demonstrate to the kangaroo that she really wasn't the age that she viewed her as Ms. Maggy turned off the main road and had smoothly reversed into the drive of a comfortable looking home.

    “Alright dearie, let's get you changed out of those wet diapers and into something more comfortable!"

    The possbold watched in a mild helplessness as the kangaroo unbuckled her from the child's seat and to her surprised hoisted the oversized looking baby onto her hip, shutting and locking the car door behind her as she padded up to the front door of her house.

    Luca looked around nervously, reflexively clutching the kangaroo as she glanced around to see if anyone was outside to witness the spectacle. To her relief, there wasn't a soul to be seen in the comfy neighborhood that Ms. Maggy lived in. 

    Luca barely had enough time to notice much other than the surprising amount of space inside of the living room and kitchen as she was carried over to a set of stairs, which the kangaroo ascended with surprising speed and agility.  

    Luca gasped, unable to contain her wonder as Ms. Maggy hopped through a door marked, “Nursery."

    The largest set of baby furniture she had ever seen greeted her eyes.  An oversized crib, changing table, a toy chest which looked like she could comfortably hide in, and even a diaper pail and rocking chair designed precisely with large kangaroo caretakers and big college sized babies in mind.

    “Where… Where did you- mmpf!"

    Luca crossed her eyes, trying to see what was suddenly placed into her muzzle by the kangaroo.

    Her cheeks blushed bright scarlet as she noticed that she had just successfully been pacified, and a small cry of surprise left her lips as she Ms. Maggy deposited her on the changing table.

    “Alright sweetie, let's get you out of those soggy diapers."

    Luca's cheeks were still red as Ms. Maggy withdrew a large, colorful diaper decorated with little patterns of babyfurs sporting their diapers as well as a container of baby powder and diaper rash cream.

    A small realization crept into the front of Luca's mind as she lay there, feeling helpless in the situation she was in.

    To her surprise, she found herself giddily looking forward to having her diaper changed and the overwhelming amount of sweet attention she could expect from the kangaroo as she received it.

    I'm… kind of enjoying this… 

    Luca bit her lip, the mixed emotions inside of her making her wonder whether she really did want to convince Ms. Maggy of her actual age. 

    What if I just waited to see how long this goes on for?

    Ms. Maggy had at this point prepared all of her changing supplies, she hummed merrily under her breath as she gently lifted up the bottom of Luca's shirt, exposing her soggy diaper.

    Deftly she ripped off the tapes of the diaper, moving methodically she pulled the front of the diaper downwards, which only furthered Luca's blush as she found herself utterly exposed in front of her.

    Paying no mind to the kobold's bashfulness the motherly kangaroo made short work of wiping up, creaming, and powdering her subject.

    Luca raised her bottom instinctively to allow for the kangaroo to slip the fresh diaper underneath her, which elicited a coo of praise from Ms. Maggy.

    “What a good little girl I have! Thank you for making changing time a little easier."

    With that she brought the front of the diaper over her subject's tummy, patting her gently on the thigh as she placed the various changing supplies back into their cubby holes.

    “Now then, let's make you an afternoon snack."

    She gently scooped up Luca and deposited her on the floor next to the changing table, she hopped over to the door. She paused for a second, looking back with a sweet smile displayed on her face.

    “Well dearie, are you coming along?"

    Luca hesitated, she realized that at this point she wasn't going to be going home any time soon.  

    Still… she thought about how miserable she was in her classes, how the semester had seemed nothing but a chore to her that she was constantly unwilling to do.

    She bit her lip, weighing her options. Her eyes met with Ms. Maggy's kind, reassuring gaze and her mind was made up.

    “Coming Ms. Maggy!"

    She chirped happily, padding up to the kangaroo's side. Ms. Maggy smiled, placing a hand on top of the crinkly kobold's head and ruffling it gently.

    “There's my sweet little girl."

    Luca happily suckled on the pacifier in her mouth in response, the nuknuk noise she made indicating just how happy she was with her current predicament.
