A stroll

Gail went into the kitchen and came back with a large baby bottle filled with brown liquid. "I know it's not appropriate to give a baby iced tea," she said, "But it's part of your punishment."

Kelly did not really pay attention. She continued to struggle to free her hands. Finally, the ribbon gave way and she plunged her hands down the front of the diaper and frantically started scratching.

"What a shameful display!" said Beth Ann.

"Oh my god!" said Addison.

"Grab her!" said Gail. "Bring her to the garage."

Addison, Beth Ann, and Maggie pounced on Kelly. Addison and Beth Ann grabbed her arms, and Maggie grabbed her ankles. They carried her to the garage while the sweating, red Kelly squirmed and mumbled into her pacifier.

In the garage, Gail waited with the bottle and stood by a large jogging stroller. "Put her in."

The girls dropped Kelly into the stroller. She was too big and her legs hung out. She plunged her hands down her diaper again and began scratching again.

Gail buckled Kelly in. "Can you control yourself for one moment? I mean, come on!"

Kelly pleaded her with eyes as she kept scratching. She had realized a few minutes ago Beth Ann had put itching powder on her, and knew that until it was washed off, it could keep itching.

Gail untied the pacifier.

"That bitch!" said Kelly, "She put....."

Gail stuffed the nipple of the bottle into Kelly's mouth. "Here's the thing. We keep pushing you around the block in this stroller until that iced tea is finished. Got it?"

Gail pushed the button to open the garage door.

Kelly started to suck on the nipple. The nipple would only let a very small bit of iced tea through with each sip. She held the bottle with one hand and scratched with the other.

Gail started to wheel the stroller down the driveway and to the sidewalk.

Kelly was ****. She wanted to relieve the itch. She pulled the bottle out. "It's itching powder. She put..."

Gail reached down and put the bottle back. "No more of your lies, young lady! Finish that bottle."

Kelly did not even wonder why she was being given iced tea instead of apple juice or even formula, but Gail knew the caffeine in the tea would act as a diuretic, and Kelly would have to pee before long, and Gail was going to test out the absorbency of the diaper.

Kelly kept sucking at the iced tea as she looked around praying they would not run into anyone, especially anyone she knew on this stroll.
