As Katie and her mother drove to the restaurant, her mother began asking her how her weekend was. "Well," Katie said, "After you made me go out into town, I was laughed out of an arcade and ran away crying." After that she explained about meeting Laurie and what had happened then. 
"Katie, I'm sorry about that. I didn't mean for you to be embarrased that much," her mother said, much like earlier she seemed genuinly repentant for what she had done. 
"It's ok. Lets just change the subject. But really, I had a good time with Laurie and her mom. It was...different, but kind of cool. I'm beginning to think that it really doesn't matter how everyone else looks at me. I mean sure, I'm in diapers. But I have to wear them and, mom I know this sounds kind of weird, I'm actually starting to kind of like them." Katie said slowly. She was a bit embarrased by that last fact. Afterall, despite what Laurie said and what she'd found out this weekend, she'd always learned that diapers were bad. Toilet training was really important to how society thought of you. But she we beginning to think that it didn't really matter. Just like what people thought of her, it was just another thing that she was beginning to not really care about. 
"Well, honey, I guess it's not so weird in your situation. I mean, you have to wear them, so you might as well get used to them. And Katie, if you like them, that's fine. It's better diapers than drugs, right?" her mother replied, smiling a bit. Katie smiled back. Well, at least that hurdle was over. "So," her mother said, "Where do you want to go for lunch?" 
Katie thought about that for a minute. Well, Mexican food, although she enjoyed it, was probably out of the question. Not unless she wanted a rather smelly diaper later. And most of the fancy places were probably also out because of her rather odd attire. "How about a burger?" she said. Katie figured that most places in a beach town would probably let in women wearing bathing suits and shirts on, so why not a shirt and a diaper? Afterall, she did have the shirt and shoes on. 
"That sounds good. So, we have two weeks ahead of us. What do you want to do while your here?" her mother asked. 
"Well, I think I'd like to have Laurie over at some point, spend some time with her. Maybe go see a movie, and definitly go swimming. Though I'm not sure how to handle swimming in my diapers. Maybe Laurie knows something about it." Katie said thoughtfully. There had to be some answer to it, afterall it would be awfully unwieldly to go swimming with a soaking wet diaper on. 
"Alright. Maybe we can do something together sometime, you know a kind of mother and daughter thing? And, if we need to buy something for you so that you can go swimming, that's fine." said her mother as they pulled into the parking lot of the hamburger place. Katie gathered up her courage as she got out of the car, her diaper very obvious. She checked herself and saw that she was just a bit wet, her mother looked at her as she was getting out, "Katie, do you want me to bring the diaper bag along, or leave it in the car?" 
Katie shrugged, not like she was going to be more obvious. "Bring it along. I'm probably going to need to be changed before we leave." Her mother nodded and grabbed the bag and together they walked into the burger place. They got odd looks while they waited to be seated. Katie just ignored them and her mother didn't comment. When the waitress arrived she gave Katie and odd look, Katie shrugged. She saw that several people in the restaurant looked like they had just come off the beaches, swim suits and all. She just gave a little smirk to the waitress, who sighed and led them to their table. 
Lunch went fairly uneventfully after that. Katie and her mother made small talk, but a few minutes before they were done Katie flooded her diaper. "Mom," she said in a low voice, "I need to be changed." 
"Do you want me to do it or do you want to try by yourself?" her mother asked, this time deciding to give Katie the choice. 
"Could you do it for me? I'm not sure I'd be able to do it right." Katie replied, a bit nervous despite her earlier resolution to be totally cool about this. Her mother nodded and led her to the washroom where she quickly changed Katie's soaking diaper. 
"All done. Now, how about some ice cream before we go back to your aunt's?" her mother said once Katie was in a clean diaper. She felt kind of odd, acting adult now even though she was wearing a babyish looking diaper made for mentally handicapped teenagers. 
"Yeah, sure." she said as they went back to their seats. They ordered ice cream and ate it in silence, payed for the cheque and headed back to Aunt Amanda's. Katie was rather pleased that lunch had gone so well. It definitly gave her more confidence in herself and with her diapers, though she was going to have to talk more with her mother about this whole liking diapers and babying thing.
