A Life Ever Changing

by Angel

#30  Baby Love

 

This sobered us all up and we just stared back at her wondering why she was looking at me like that?...

 

To break the trance we all seemed to be in, Judy and Elaine asked us what was so funny and everybody looked at me. Auntie Harriet said, "Ask Angel, she started it."

I said, "I just realized that I was just welcomed into womanhood by getting my earlobes stabbed clean through and am now my mommy's daughter. I also have a lot more aunts and a whole bunch of friends I never had before. I remembered how it all started I was a boy dressed in an apron wearing girls flowered panties that everybody saw! The funny part is I have never been happier in my life!" I started giggling again which started everybody giggling and then laughing! We were right back where we started from, but Helen was still looking at me but now her head was tilted a little like she was deep in thought.

All the ladies, myself, Judy and Elaine whispered and planned when Sylvia said, "One, two, three."

We all hollered at once "HELEN!" and she jumped three feet in the air! We all were laughing so hard she started laughing too after a second of wondering what had happened.

Helen then said, "Sylvia, you hired Angel to model your jewelry right?"

Sylvia nodded and Helen continued, "When I saw Angel in your jewelry smiling and laughing I was awe struck. I then pictured her dressed in several of my creations and your jewelry. I want to hire her as well and maybe we could combine our ads and promotions to coincide with each other's. What do you think?"

Well, Sylvia thought that was a great Idea and they both looked at my mommy. My mommy looked at them and just shook her head and said, "What was the name and number of that lawyer of yours?"

From boy house worker to singer to girl to soloist to model in a very short time at that! My head was reeling! But I was very happy!

Helen then sent Judy and Elaine to the finishing room to fetch the gown. It was ready for me. I had noticed that the bra I was wearing really began to rub and irritate my nipples and breasts. They were getting real sore, so I told my mommy and she said I would feel better in a little while when they put more medicine on me. She asked me, "Honey, are they too sore to continue with the fitting?"

I said, "Oh no, Mommy, I can do the fitting look at all the trouble everybody went through. I will be ok if not I will tell you right away ok?"

She smiled and said, "That's my girl!"

Next thing I heard was Helen and she said, "Ok, Honey, time to get started and come on up and stand on the platform for us, sweetheart."

I got up and carefully walked over to and stepped up on the platform. Elaine and Judy were there holding the dress and Cindy and Lorrie were holding the petticoats. We did the same thing as last time only a lot more carefully because of my make up and jewelry. Helen checked everything and gave everybody thumbs up when the gown fit perfectly! She asked for the veil and tiara fixing these in place took a long time.

Helen then stood to one side as she nodded to Loraine and Loraine stood at my other side. Helen had me put two fingers in the loop that let me hold up the front of the gown allowing me to walk and said, "Ladies and Ladies, I proudly present Miss Angel O'Hare, soloist and beauty extraordinaire."

Everybody whistled and clapped and hollered. My mom just stood by my aunt Harriet with a smile and a tear in her eye. Harriet wolf whistled at me after I was helped down and walked around the shop.

I played it up to the fullest. I walked like Helen wanted me to, but I added nods and waves like the Queen of England does. Everybody started laughing and Greta said, "Stop that angel, I need some good pictures." She was trying not to laugh when she said that. I played it like they wanted and just smiled and walked like the Bride they wanted me to be.

Finally about twenty minutes later we were through with the pictures and all the checking out the dress routine. Back on the platform I went and the undressing began.

My earlobes stung, my breasts and nipples hurt like heck, my feet, ankles and calf muscles were sore from walking in four-inch heels. My crotch was now on fire and I needed relief quickly. I said, "Mommy, I can't take it anymore, would you please put the medicine cream on me now?"

Harriet ran and got the bag and my mommy took off the bra and panties. Oh, that felt better, but I was very sore and the pain spread all over my breasts and groin area. I was very red and the skin looked raised like it had been scraped with sandpaper. It felt like it to!

While Harriet and my mommy were taking care of me, the other ladies were all putting things away and getting ready to leave. When I was back dressed in bandages, bra, diapers and plastic panties Sylvia came over and I helped her remove all the jewelry I had been wearing with the gown. She thanked me and put it all back in the case she had with her.

I was waiting for them to put me back in my dress when Helen made an announcement. She said, "It is after midnight, ladies, so I think those that can should stay over here at my place. You can all get a fresh start in the morning and it will be much safer. I know I am too tired to travel anywhere tonight."

Harriet then said, "Well, I for one have to get back to my place. I have so much to do in the morning and a client will be showing up at 7:00 am. Julia, you have the medicine and enough supplies for Angel to last. I packed enough in the bag for two more changes. Why don't you and Angel stay and I will come back to get you around 10:00am, ok?"

It turned out that my mommy and I were the only ones that would be staying the night at Helen's huge house. My mommy swabbed my ears with alcohol. OUCH that stung! Not too bad though. She put a pair of nice plain pearls studs in both ears that Sylvia gave her to give to me.

We all hugged and kissed each other goodbye and everybody but we three remained. Elaine and Judy had rooms in the little house upstairs that they stayed in. They were college kids and went to school at the nearby community college. I asked my mommy for something to wear and Helen smiled saying, "Honey, you look so cute that way and you seem very comfortable. I love your diapers and plastic panties. You are just so adorable dressed like that."

I looked at myself in a nearby mirror and groaned. A real lacy bra and my plastic panties were pink with little girls holding dollies printed on them. The worst of it was these panties had five rows of white lace across the fanny! OH GEEZ! My mommy said they were the cutest Rumba panties she had ever seen. Helen agreed saying, "Those are so adorable you can't cover them up! I know I have just the thing you can wear Angel."

She left and came back shortly with a silky pull over shirt tank top. It was pink and had rows of white lace on it. GEEZ! It was short too and only came down to the very tops of the rumba panties. Oh Brother! Helen gave me some pink fluffy slippers as well and they were neat. Very comfortable and soft to wear and walk in. Well my mommy took one of my hands and Helen took the other, the two girls giving me a hug and a kiss as we left the little house and walked outside back to the main house.

The outside grounds were lit softly by many lamps made of pretty, wrought iron posts with frosted glass globes that cast a gentle light across our path. The sky was clear, illuminated by many brilliantly shining stars and the moon was full and glowing a soft orange the air was cool which I could feel against my bare arms and legs. It was very quiet and I could here the sound my plastic rumba panties made as I walked each hand held by someone who loved me and I felt happy. As we mounted the many stone steps to the big double wooden front doors an older woman opened the doors pulling them both inward and greeted Helen and as she nodded to my mother in greeting she then looked at me and smiled.

We entered the huge house into a foyer that was large and open. WOW, my eyes must have gotten huge because my mommy and Helen chuckled and Helen said, "Angel, what do you think of my home so far?"

I said, "It's beautiful and so big!"

The older woman laughed along with Helen and my mommy. Helen introduced us to the older woman, her name was Miss Mary Denton and she was the person in charge of the operations and of all the other staff that took care of this huge place. She asked me to call her Miss Mary and she picked me up and hugged me and kissed me on my cheek. I hugged her back and kissed her cheek and told her she kept a wonderful home and it was so clean and beautiful.

She really smiled then and said, "Angel you are so adorable and such a sweet child I think I will keep you here forever!" I laughed and everyone else laughed along with us. She put me down and said to Helen, "I have had a light snack and refreshments prepared in the library as you requested Helen. The guest room has been prepared and the other items you mentioned are in place." Helen thanked her and took hold of my hand and led my mommy and me to another huge room.

Helen said, "Welcome to my favorite room in this big old museum of mine. This was a conservatory at one time and I had it converted to a combination room as you can see." She gestured by swinging her arms apart and pointed to one area furthest from the entrance doors. (They were two huge etched glass doors.) "This is my wall of ancestry and of course the history of my shop as well."

There were paintings from very old to new ones. There were a whole series of pictures of a clothing shop and then more as it grew in size and changed locations. Helen pointed to a large picture of a beautifully designed interior of a shop with several people posing in a group photo in the center. She said, "This is my present store which is operated by the staff you see. I no longer run it myself I prefer to stay here and do my own thing."

She chuckled and stroked my cheek looking down and smiling at me. She led us over to the most central of the walls where there was a huge fireplace. It was cool! She said, "In the late fall and winter I love to have a fire and sit and look out to the sleeping gardens and trees." She gestured to the outermost wall and it was all large panes of glass.

You could look out and see how extensive her grounds to this house were. Many different gardens and a huge tall fountain, it seemed to go on and on. She took my hand and led me over to a panel and picked me up asking me to press a certain button she pointed to. I did and one of the big panes of glass started moving as a big screen took its place as the glass disappeared into a wall. She laughed as she saw the expression on my face and I giggled and said, "Wow this is so cool, Aunty Helen!"

She smiled real big when I called her that and she hugged me tighter and kissed me. She said, "Well, sweet niece of mine, this is how I enjoy the sounds and smells of the gardens without all the bugs." She chuckled and let me down. She said, "Angel, there are a lot's of hidden surprises in this house and I want you to have fun here and enjoy all of it. You and your mommy are always welcome here and I hope you both come back often.

I ran over to my mommy and said, "Mommy, mommy, can we come back lots of times?"

Both Helen and Mommy laughed and laughed at what I had said and my mommy said, "Of course darling, you really like it here do you?"

I said, "Oh yes, mommy, it's real cool!" They laughed again and so did Miss Mary who had come in then.

She said, "Julia, I have laid out some sleepwear for you on the bed and the adjoining bath is now ready as well."

My mommy thanked her as Helen said, "Thank you for everything, Mary, and now you two let us eat and drink something before we retire, ok?"

Miss Mary just had to pick me up and hug and kiss me again before she left. She said, "You are so adorable and sweet I think we will just have to keep you locked up here forever."

We all laughed and I said, "Oh no Miss Mary, you would have to lock up my baby brother and my mommy and Aunty Harriet and a lot of other people too!" They all laughed real hard then and we ended up all sitting down with me on Miss Mary's lap. She decided to stay while we ate.

I don't know what happened but all of a sudden I woke up a little and saw I was being held and carried upstairs by Miss Mary and my mommy and Helen were with me. They were looking at me while they were whispering to each other. They must have been real wide stairs because they were all next to each other.

We entered a huge room and I couldn't believe it! This was a bedroom? This was a guestroom? WOW! Miss Mary laid me on a table that was covered with something very soft and had a little pillow for my head. She turned to my mommy and said, "Julia, this was Helen's changing table when she was a child and that over there was her crib."

I looked over where Miss Mary was pointing and saw a pretty bed it was white and had high rails on each of its sides. One side of the rails closest to us was lowered. It was bigger than my baby brother's crib that used to be mine, twice if not three times the size and had stuffed animals in all the corners. My mommy smiled and said, "I am sure Angel will enjoy sleeping in it won't you, Angel?"

I said, "Aunty Helen that was yours?"

She said, "Yes, Angel, and when I got bigger the rails were removed and the legs were lowered and I used it all the way up until I turned thirteen. That was when I had my own room and I no longer stayed here."

I asked her, "Aunty Helen, where did you go?"

She said, "I was sent to Miss Porter's school for young ladies in Connecticut. There I met the future wife of President Kennedy. She also went there, as many influential family's daughters have been going there. It is a famous and very exclusive school. I only returned on holidays and a brief week in the summer. Then I was sent abroad to study in Switzerland and Europe. I finally was to return home when I was twenty."

I said, "Mommy, you aren't going to send me away like that are you?"

She hugged me and kissed me a lot of times saying, "Oh Honey, I will never send you away, NEVER!"

I was happy and said, "Good, because it would be lonely and I would really hate that."

Helen who was smiling at our exchange said, "Oh Angel, it wasn't all that bad, but I was lonely for my family. I got to see and experience many wonderful things. But, you are right, I would have much rather have stayed here much more often than I was allowed to back then." Then she said, "It's very late and it is time for your change and off to sleep, young lady. We have much to do tomorrow and I think we will be getting a late start as it is."

She gave me a kiss and a hug goodnight and did the same with my mommy and left. Miss Mary asked my mommy if she needed a little help and my mommy said she did so Miss Mary stayed and helped my mommy clean me and put new cream and fresh diapers on me. I had wet them and didn't even know it! Miss Marry hugged and kissed me goodnight and did the same with my mommy and left. My mommy carried me over to the crib and tucked me in and gave me a teddy bear to hug and I fell asleep real fast.
