Smooth Landing

It was Carols turn to be woken up now. The plane had gently hit the tarmac, and was beginning to pull into the airport as Alexa shook Carol awake.

"Thanks." Carol said, having had a nice dream and none too pleased that she was now awake. But, at least they were at their layover. One last flight, and she'd be back home.

As everyone began to leave, Carol went first, helping Alexa to get her backpack on, while also not having her dress ride up and expose anything. Alexa had remembered dresses don't come with any pockets, so she transferred her phone and wallet to the backpack.

Both women enjoyed their freedom once more, and were walking around the very fancy airport. Carol saw a security guard approaching her and Alexa, and she steeled herself for some bad news. Apparently, Lexi was a magnet for that sort of thing.

"Miss. I apologize for the intrusion, but national law is that you must have control over your child's leash at all times." The older gentlemen said, out of breath from his speedwalking to the girls. Carol thanked him for letting her know, and took Lexi's leash unwillingly. Alexa barely even noticed, enraptured by her phone.

An email had arrived! About her laptop and bag! Thank the lord above. Quickly typing out a response, Alexa lost her notion of the outside world for a second. Tongue sticking a little out of her mouth, she sent the email, providing the woman with more contact information and that she had her bag.

"Someone got my bag, and they emailed me!" Alexa said, beaming to Carol. The two were sitting down at a restaurant in the airport, having been led there by Carol. Menu's were handed out by the waitress, with Alexa receiving the kids menu, much to Carol's amusement and Alexa's chagrin.

"See, I told you sweetie. Someone must've mistaken it for there's. Now, lets try to figure out what we want." Carol said, sliding the adult menu over to Alexa. The giddiness and happiness was infectious, and Carol herself felt much better after Alexa began to smile. Like the sun coming through on a cloudy day.

Looking at both the menus, Alexa tried to choose the best thing between them. Fidgeting in her chair, she opened her legs, exposing to the world her crotch. Not realizing any of the possibility to be seen, she continued until Carol used her feet under the table to help her close her legs.

"Lexi, unless you want to expose..." Carol said, as Alexa nodded, out of focus and thinking.

"Th..thanks." Alexa said, with red cheeks. She felt a vibration from her backpack, and pulled out her phone.

"Is this Miss Johnson?" The youthful voice said on the other end.

"It is. May I ask who I am speaking to?" Alexa said, the waitress coming back. With how busy they were, she wasted no time, getting Carol's order. Alexa pointed at the menu for what she wanted, and Carol repeated it for her; Alexa mouthed 'thanks' to her.

The phone call was brief. Regency Luxury Hotels had canceled their tentative booking of her hotel. She was officially hotel less. For a second, she contemplated calling her boss to figure out a new plan, but she knew he hated getting calls that weren't important to him. Alexa put the phone down, her smile returned to a neutral position.

"Bad news?" Carol asked, the whole mood at the table now shifted.

"Well, not great news. My hotel just got canceled." Alexa said, sipping down her tea and flicking the crayon on the table through her hand.

"Canceled? They can't just cut your reservations like that." Carol said, eyebrow raising. Lexi wasn certainly not world experienced if she wasn't going to fight losing her reservation like that.

"I know, I know. But they were never reservations. My company made tentative plans with the hotel, so they could get the best rate. And, uhm. they just told me now they're booked." Alexa said, looking on her phone. A new hotel would have to be found, right away.

"Oh, I understand. Well, I have 2 open bedrooms, you're more then welcome to stay in one. Not just saying that to be nice, I'm not going to hang you out to dry like that." Carol said, as their food was brought back. Alexa's neutral demeanor changed to a frown as the plate was put down on the table. Pancakes arranged with a smiley face, and a side of eggs and bacon. Definitely not the burger she had wanted. Not going to make a scene, she began reaching for her silverware.

"Did you get the wrong food? I can call the waitress over to fix it." Carol said, used to fussy children who changed their mind after ordering. Pinching herself a bit, she reminded herself that Alexa was not a child, and not being fussy.

"I wanted the burger, but it's alrigh..." Alexa said, cut off by Carol motioning over a waitress and explaining the situation. The woman was apologetic, letting her keep the pancakes and putting in a new order for the burger. The waitress was sure the kid had just changed her mind, or her mom wanted free food, but it didn't matter one way or another.

"Thanks, Carol. I mean it. You've been more helpful then you've ever had to be for a complete stranger." Alexa said, cutting up the pancakes and eating them. They were delicious, and Alexa struggled not to speak with her mouth full. "I'll try to find a hotel, but if you're offering me a spot, I'd really appreciate it. This trip is too important for me to be stressing about stuff like that."

"It's no problem, I promise you that. Now, don't talk with your mouth full little Lexi." Carol said, jokingly wagging her finger at Alexa. Both women giggled and Alexa continue chowing down on her pancakes, and Carol into her salad. By the time Alexa's burger had come out, she had completely forgotten about ever even wanting it. While her eyes were larger then her stomach, Alexa did love a good burger, and she started eating the burger and fries. Carol watched on, fascinated by how a girl Alexa's size ate as much food as she did.

"Will we be having desert?" The waitress said, having the desert menu with her. This time, she didn't catch Alexa at a bad time, and Alexa took the menu. Wanting a malt milkshake, she convinced Carol to get some cake. They went back to talking, as Alexa finished eating her burger and fries. Carol had finished awhile ago, and was just enjoying conversing with the girl. Dessert was enjoyable, especially for Alexa, as the milkshake was delicious. When the check came, Alexa was quicker, and paid for them both.

"You didn't have to do that." Carol said, smiling at Alexa's good manners.

"I didn't. But you definitely have earned some free food after your...help." Alexa said jovially, causing a slight laugh in both.

The women left the restaurant, and realized they had awhile until they would need to head to their last depature point. Carol recommended they head to a lounge her husband knew about, and on the elevator ride up, Alexa squirmed a bit.

"God, my stomach hurts. I might've eaten too much..." Alexa moaned, rubbing her tiny little potbelly.

"I was wondering how you even ate that much." Carol said, leading the two to the front desk. Business seating was avaible, but since Carol's husband was a rewards member, they could get a small private cabana. They were down a hallway, and sounded incredibly comfortable.

"Just so you know, our company requires any customers using a cabana to take their shoes off prior to stepping on the carpet. I apologize, this is just our policy." The worker said, sounding just as annoyed as he expected the two to be. Both women agreed, and left their shoes out on a rack as they went into the room. A bed, chairs, a hammock, and a computer with internet access. Privacy as well. Alexa oozed into the hammock, grabbing for her phone and that number she had gotten. Texting someone would take her mind off her pained stomach.

Alexa: Hey, it's Lexi :)

A few minutes passed with no response, and Alexa swung in the hammock. Carol was enjoying the internet access. Her phone dinged.

Devin: Airport girl!?!

Alexa: That's me.

Devin sent a picture of himself in a car, smiling with a thumbs up. Alexa blushed a bit, not expecting a photo, and not knowing if she should send one back.

"Carol, would you send a photo of yourself to a guy you're flirting with?" Alexa said, not really having any experience in that area.

"Duh. Send one of your cute face. Have you never flirted before?" Carol said jokingly, which produced a bashful nod from Alexa. Internally, Carol realized she was dealing with a cast of a true wallflower, and someone who needed a bit of help bringing themselves out into the world.

Alexa responded with a photo of herself, which prompted a good response from Devin.

Devin: Thanks for the photo, you look great.

Alexa: Thanks! What are you up to.

The two chatted away over text, until Devin had to handle some things. He left Alexa with a goodbye text, and Alexa got herself out of the hammock. Shoot. A hour had passed, and her stomach now no longer hurt; instead, it was a pressure on her bowels and bladder.

"I, uh, bathroom." Alexa said, rushing to the suite's private stall. Carol followed the girl, having seen her doing the potty dance while she was in the hammock. Thankfully, this time, it was near impossible for Alexa to fail. Carol helped get the diaper off her and Alexa sat down. Carol threw the diaper into a wastebin and went to grab stuff from Alexa's bag.

Alexa enjoyed finally having reached a toilet on time, and was in a very good mood, even as Carol changed her. Not even protesting anymore, Alexa willingly let herself be covered in anti rash cream, lotion, and baby powder. Taping the diaper up, Carol helped Alexa off the station.

"Good job on making it." Carol said, hoping to get some positive reinforcement going. She was sure she could help the girl escape her use of diapers.

"Thanks, I, uhm, well thanks for changing me." Alexa said, getting back into the hammock. The baby powder and lotion were taking effect, and Carol could smell them from across the room. A decade or so ago, it was a familiar scent to her. All those warm memories were coming back. Carol rooted through the bag, and discovered exactly the thing she was looking for. A part of her knew maybe it was a step too far, but Carol remembered her early days as a mom. These things were life savers, and stopping Alexa from staining a nice looking dress might be worth it. The waistband had a mark saying 'Wed', and Carol rolled her eyes a bit; who in their right mind labeled diaper covers by the day of the week?

"Hey, I think I found something you might like." Carol said, pulling out what looked like a pair of pink granny panties from the bag. Some ruffles were on the butt of them, as weird as that looked to Alexa. "This would do a pretty good job of hiding your diaper from being seen."

"Are those granny panties? I doubt it would cover my diaper." Alexa said, taking them from Carol. The material wasn't silk or anything of the like, it felt...plushy. Was this thing a cloth diaper?

"It's a diaper cover. To anyone who might accidently catch a glance up your skirt, it'd look like you just have pink panties on." Carol said, letting Alexa feel them. "Usually, kids wear them to stop leaks."

Alexa nodded. She never had heard of this! It was genius, really. A pink diaper cover would look like a pair of lame granny panties, but it'd look better then an exposed diaper!

"So do I just pull it up...or.." Alexa said, excitement taking over her. Carol helped shimmy them onto the girl. They just fit over the girls tiny waist, stretched just a bit. Alexa took a trip to the bathroom, getting a 360 view of the new ornament. It didn't look as much like panties as she would've liked, but it looked a helluva better then someone seeing her padding. Of course, the ruffles were weird, and the padding of her diaper was somewhat visible, but all together, it was quite an improvement. Carol smiled, seeing Alexa happy at her new cover. Alexa got what she wanted, and Carol stopped her from potentially leaking onto another moms dress. Win win for all involved.

Eventually, well before their plane was to leave, the women started getting ready to leave the lounge. It was a two hour rental window, and that was coming up.
