She took a good look at her dress. The top half was fine, but the bottom half was only hanging by a few threads. If Katie pulled it off she could still wear the top half as a proper shirt, but she had nothing to hide her diaper with.
Or maybe she did? In her hand luggage she could've sworn to see a small skirt when the TSA woman was searching her bag.
Suddenly the plane encountered heavy turbulence. For a second time she pulled a bit too hard on her dress, and the bottom and top piece split. Katie looked at what she had done, but there was no time to mourn her dress.
The only option Katie had now was to wear her skirt as a shirt and hope nobody noticed. Her seat wasn't far from the toilet, she only had to cross like three rows. It was the line standing at the toilet that she was afraid off.
Then there was more turbulence, followed by a message by the captain.
"Ladies and Gentlemen we've encountered some turbulence. Please return to your seats and put your seats in the upright position."
The captain had more to say, but Katie knew this was her chance. She waited a minute until she was certain everyone from the line had returned to their seats and she opened the toilet door.
She looked left and right and saw nobody stand in the path. Hastily Katie walked out of the toilet and to her seat. With her hands she covered up the diaper as good as she could. It had been five rows when she finally found hers. Quickly she sat down and covered herself with the blanket that the airline had given her.
Now she faced a problem she hadn't thought off. Her hand luggage was in the space above her head, which she could only reach by standing in the aisle.
