Alexa wakes up in her bed

Alexa bolted awake. She gasped as she looked around. She pulled the covers off her and sighed as she was dry. She clutched her knees to her chest, her heart thumping as Michelle laid fast asleep next to her. Alexa sighed as she climbed out of bed, making her way to the bathroom. “It’s not real,” Alexa whispered. “I’m past those days. I’m not a b-baby…”

She splashed her face with water and then sat on the toilet seat. She shuddered at the memories of Francine. Unfortunately some of those days were real. But she was different now. She hadn’t wet the bed in 5 years. She had a wife and even was in an entirely different state. She had a job.

“Alexa….” She heard a voice behind her say.

Alexa turned to see Michelle standing in the door. “Michelle, did I wake you? I’m so sorry…”

“What are you thinking about?” Michelle asked as she approached Alexa.

Alexa squirmed. “I had a nightmare,” she said. “Of my stepmother and you and… it didn’t end well.”

Michelle wrapped her arms around Alexa. “She can’t touch you,” Michelle whispered.

“I know,” Alexa said. “You’re so… amazing, Michelle. Thank you for being there for me. For… having me go to therapy…”

“We’re in this together,” Michelle said.

Michelle kissed her forehead. “Michelle… I… I have a crazy idea,” Alexa said.

“What is it?” Michelle asked.

Alexa nibbled her lip. “What if… for Christmas…I… I was a baby?”

Michelle’s eyes widened. “Are you… sure?”

“It’d just be for a night,” Alexa said. “Just you and me… and… diapers…”

Michelle shrugged and then smiled. “Okay… I can run to the store. Now, let’s go back to bed. I miss my wife.”

Alexa giggled as she let Michelle carry her back to bed as they laid in each other’s arms.
