Lilith the Witch - Chapter 4: The End to a Perfect Day

“Who's ready for something to eat?” Lilith cooed from the kitchen as she made her way back into the living room where Mikey was happily bouncing, carrying a big bowl of the baby food he had smelled earlier.

“Me! Me! Me!” He shouted happily, kicking his feet off of the floor as he eagerly awaited what would happen next.

Lilith pulled a stool over and set it in front of Mikey in his bouncer before taking a seat, revealing the big bowl of freshly made applesauce just for him.

Mikey’s face lit up with excitement as Lilith happily smiled back. “Alright, sweetie. Open wide!” She said, scooping up a spoonful to guide into his mouth.

Mikey’s face turned red as he opened wide, letting Lilith guide the spoon in before wrapping his lips around the spoon, pulling the sauce off the spoon.

“Good job!” Lilith cooed, already scooping up another spoonful of apple sauce and carefully brought it to Mikey's mouth. He opened his lips happily taking each spoonful with a smile as he lightly bounced around.

Lilith raised her hand, guiding another spoonful in as it slipped, splattering the spoonful onto his lower lip, which ultimately dribbled its way down his chin.

"Whoops!" Lilith giggled, trying to wipe the mess with a napkin. But the apple sauce had already started to drip down Mikey's neck, making a trail of sticky spots on his shirt.

Mikey giggled too, knowing full well that it wasn’t a mistake at all. He was just glad that Lilith was enjoying all of this as much as he was. Spoon by spoon, she carefully scooped up the apple sauce and offered it to Mikey, who eagerly accepted it with a smile as he ate it all up.

“Alright, Mommy’s going to leave you right here for a bit while she does some stuff in another room, okay sweetie?” Lilith said, using a wet wipe to wipe Mikey's mouth clean. “Do you want me to turn on some cartoons or something?”

“Yea, yea, yea!” He shouted, eagerly kicking himself into the air with excitement.

“Alright, sweetie,” She cooed, picking up the bowl she had brought with her and grabbing a remote to switch the TV over to some cartoons.

Mikey happily bounced about as Lilith disappeared into the back hallway, leaving him alone in the living room with a couple of the magically enchanted items still dancing around as they performed their tasks. Dusters flapped about from one surface to the next while a broom slowly swept itself along in the kitchen, picking up the scraps that the knives and spoons had made from their previous engagement.

Mikey smiled as he felt a warm, calming sense come over him and he realized just how perfect everything was. He quickly picked up the pacifier that was still clipped to him, and plopped it in as he turned to face the TV again. Everything just felt so magical.

~~

It had only been a couple of episodes before Mikey was brought back to reality as he could feel his stomach start to rumble. He smiled as he thought about it. In the past he’d always refrained from making big messes, mostly because cleaning them himself was a real mood dampener, but now he didn’t have to worry about any of that. He held it back for a few minutes, slowly bouncing up and down before giving a big push.

The familiar warm, mud like substance shot out and into his diaper, quickly filling in the void space between the diaper and his bum. He smiled as he felt its warm embrace, spreading in every direction before another wave hit him as he gave a second big push as he giggled a little while starting to bounce. Though, he quickly realized that might have been a mistake.

After a light push off the ground, he quickly was brought back down by gravity, only to push the muck even more, forcing it to go in the only direction it could. He felt the warm muck spread up his butt before shooting out the back of his diaper and up under his onesie.

He held himself still, afraid to move anymore as he felt a little disgusted. It was certainly fun when the mess was contained, but he didn’t like the feeling of this. He spit out his pacifier, letting out a loud cry for the only person that could make all of this better.

“Mommy!” Mikey cried as he watched the dusters begin to hop away. “Mommy!” He said as tears started to form in his eyes, quickly overflowing and making their way down his cheeks.

Lilith quickly stepped out from around the corner, gently walking towards him. “What is it, sweetie? Is everything okay” She asked.

Mikey gave a slight sob, not wanting to say what had happened.

“Oh dear,” She said, quickly picking up on the scent as she got closer. “Did somebody have an accident?” She cooed, not having realized the full extent of what had happened.

Mikey forced a nod as he looked up at her, tears still flowing out of his eyes.

"Oh…” Lilith said, finally seeing the full extent of the situation. “Somebody had a REALLY big accident!”

Mikey sniffled as he held his hands out for Lilith, who instead started to remove the harness from the elastic straps that attached it to the ceiling. “Sorry, Mommy,” Mieky said, feeling a little embarrassed.

“Don’t be sorry, sweetie! Sometimes little munchkins like you make big messes!” Lilith said with a smile, now pulling the harness off of Mikey who stood awkwardly as his mess began to stiffen in his diaper. “Mommy’s gonna make it all better though, don’t you worry,”

Mikey stood still as Lilith finished removing the harness before carrying it over to the kitchen sink.

“Alright, what do you say we get you cleaned up?” She said, gesturing for Mikey as she started back towards the hallway.

Mikey nodded before quickly scuttling his feet along as he followed after Lilith, being forced to waddle by the extremely soiled diaper between his legs. Lilith stopped just before the nursery to turn around. “On second thought, we should probably get your rinsed off,” She said, opening the bathroom door.

Mikey furled his eyebrows. “No!” He shouted, not wanting to get wet. “I already took a bath!” He protested.

Lilith grabbed one of his hands, pulling him into the bathroom. “That was before you made a big mess, sweetie. It will be quick!” She giggled.

“No!” He shouted again, “I want Mommy to clean me up!” Mikey protested.

“Shhh, sweetheart. Mommy is going to clean you up, we’re just gonna rinse you off real quick so that it's easier on Mommy” She said, sensing that Mikey wasn’t going to like that answer.

“I don’t want to shower!” Mikey pouted, throwing his hands to his side as Lilith tried to carefully unbutton his soiled onesie.

“Sweetie, you made a big mess. Mommy needs to get you all clean and pretty again,” She said.

“No, no, no!” He pouted. “I want Mommy to clean me up!”

“I will, sweetie. Just calm down and lift your arms up,” Lilith said, trying to sound calm.

Mikey did as he was asked, raising his arms so that she could pull the onesie off.

“Mommy!” He cried, starting to tear up again as he felt the onesie pull the ick further up his back on its way off.

“Shh, it's okay baby,” Lilith said, trying not to seem flustered as she carefully balled the soiled onesie up and placed it in the sink. “We’re gonna get you in the shower right now,” She said, gesturing for him to climb.

“I don’t want to shower!” He cried, tears now fully running down his face again as he turned around to wrap his arms around Lilith.

“Sweetie-” She said, trying to avoid his messy lower half. “I need you to get in the shower so Mommy can get you all cleaned up,”

Mikey continued to cry as Lilith pulled his arms out from around her, guiding him to the tub. “Sweetie, I’m going to need you to get in the tub, or Mommy isn’t going to be too happy,”

“No…Mommy, please!” Mikey cried. “Can’t we just use some wipes?”

“In,” Lilith said, stepping around him as she started to untape his diaper, carefully catching it to prevent the mess from further spreading. She balled it up and placed it on the counter for now before turning back around to grab the shower head as she turned the water on, not turning the knob much farther than it needed to go to be on, meaning only cold water would be coming out.

Mikey sniffled before hesitantly stepping into the tub, not having realized that she hadn’t turned the water temperature up. He let out a yelp as Lilith suddenly turned the shower head to him, spraying him with the cold water.

“Mommy!” He shouted.

Lilith didn’t stop the water. She continued to wave the shower head back and forth, slowly working off the layer of muck that coated most of his underside.

“Spin around for me,” She said in a not so joyful tone.

Mikey stood in the shower, shivering and miserable, as Lilith sprayed him down with the freezing water from the shower head. The cold water hit his skin like daggers, making him gasp and wince. He tried to move to avoid the water but Lilith quickly shut that down.

“Don’t you move an inch,” She said, waving the shower head around to further soak his body.

Mikey shivered as the water hit him, clenching his arms around him in a crisscross pattern to try to keep some warmth. He tried to protest, but Lilith didn’t seem to be in the mood to listen. She sprayed him down, making sure to cover every inch of his body. Mikey could do nothing but endure the punishment. He could feel the cold water washing away all the mud and grime from his skin.

After what felt like an eternity for Mikey, Lilith finally leaned in, turning the shower off and hanging the shower head back up before grabbing a towel for Mikey. Lilith said nothing as she patted him dry in a few spots before wrapping the towel around him and helping him out of the tub. He was definitely cold to the touch, and was quite thankful for the towel.

“Do we need to have a talk about what that was?” Lilith asked, slowly pushing him forward and out of the bathroom, leading him down the hall to his nursery.

Mikey shook his head, still feeling rather cold.

“Big messes can be uncomfortable, but Mommy needs her little boy to do as he is told, understood?”

Mikey nodded, feeling the soft plush carpet as they finally entered the nursery.

“Okay then. Let's get my little boy all suited up for play time then. Sound like a plan?”

Mikey nodded again, this time with a little smile. Lilith quickly picked him up, setting him up on the changing station where Mikey quickly laid back, already feeling refreshed from the cold shower.

Mikey let his mind wander as Lilith quickly got his diaper situated, making sure to nicely powder everything before taping him up and lifting him up into the air and setting him down on his play mat and heading over to the closet.

“Alright, sweetie. Arms up,” She said, returning with a white and blue onesie that had a little hood attached with some ears. Lilith quickly slid it over his head and let it rest for a second before making a second trip to the closet.

“Keep those arms up for a second,” Lilith said, returning with a pair of mittens that caused Mikey to blush when he realized what they were.

“Mommy…” He said, struggling to hide his excitement. “Do I have to?”

“Oh yes you do. If my baby wants to act like a little baby, he’ll get treated like one too,” She said with a smile, sliding one of the mittens over his hands before securely tightening it on. She finished tightening the second one and buttoned him up before pulling the hood up over his head and clipping his pacifier back to the shirt.

“Perfect!” She said, bopping him on the nose with her finger.

Lilith played along with Mikey and his stuffed animals, happily engaging in the story that Mikey was making as she waited for her queue to chime in with a specific animal. She giggled as she watched him try to pick things up with his stubby hands, struggling at first but quickly getting the hang of it after a few tries.

~~

Finally, she caught Mikey’s first yawn. Signaling an end to the eventful day. “Alright, sweetie. I think it's time for somebody to get to bed,” She said, getting up off the floor.

“What? No! It's so early!” Mikey protested, looking up at Lilith in disbelief.

“It's been a big day for you!” She said, slowly picking up a few of the animals and returning them to their spot on one of the shelves. “Come on,” She said.

“Just a little longer?” Mikey pleaded.

“Not tonight, sweetheart. Mommy’s gonna go prepare a nice warm bottle for you. Can you pick up your toys?” Lilith said, heading for the door already.

“But…” Mikey started.

“Uh-” Lilith said interrupting just before leaving the room. “No buts, Mr. Unless you want an even earlier bedtime in the future?”

Mikey shook his head.

“Alright. I’ll be right back, sweetie,” Lilith said, finally exiting the room.

Mikey slowly got up, feeling the bulk of his already wet diaper droop beneath him as he let out a smile. One by one he slowly picked up each stuffed animal before carrying it back to its place in the room, making sure to grab his Bjorg Bear and carrying it with him as he crawled his way into the adult sized crib just as Lilith returned.

“Oh sweetie!” She cooed. “Mommy could have helped you into your crib,”

Mikey pulled one of the blankets up over him, actually ready for the idea of sleep, though he wasn’t going to admit that to Lilith.

“Here you go, sweetie,” Lilith said, handing Mikey the warm bottle of milk before taking a seat in the rocker next to his crib.

Mikey began to eagerly suck at the contents of the bottle, enjoying the warm liquid as it entered his mouth. He let his eyelids close as he felt the soft embrace of his crib.

“Rock-a-bye baby, in a treetop. When the wind blows, the cradle with rock,” Lilith began to sing softly.

Mikey continued to suckle as he slowly drifted off. The soft bedding, the warm milk, and the soothing sound of Lilith’s voice were just all too much to fight off.

“When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall…” Lilith continued.

It wasn’t long until Mikey was fully out. His suckling stopped as the bottle fell to his side, having not even finished more than half of it. Lilith knew he had been exhausted. Afterall, what little wouldn’t be after the day that he had just had?

“Good night, pumpkin,” She said, leaning in to give him a kiss before sliding up the crib wall to lock him in. She knew this was only the first day of many to come, and she was excited to see where the two of them could take this together.
