Sam's New Home - Chapter 6: Halloween Party

It had been a couple of weeks now of Jackson wearing diapers. He could often get away with just the pullups during the work week as Jeff was gone most of the day, but on the weekends he stood little chance of escaping them. Jeff had expressed a desire for him to go full baby mode like Sam, but over the weeks Jackson had come to realize it wasn’t really the mindset he wanted. He liked the diapers, and more importantly the benefit of Jeff handling all of the heavy adulting tasks around the house. But to Jackson, he couldn’t regress to the state that Sam did, so they had decided to stop pushing it as much.

Jackson wasn’t looking forward to tonight. He had been dreading it all week. Halloween. It didn’t used to be his least favorite holiday, but ever since he started dating Jeff it had quickly become just that. Jeff liked to party, and more particularly, like to host big parties himself which often meant too many people, half of which were strangers, Jeff getting drunk beyond reasonable means, and a huge mess to clean up the next day that more often than not fell on Jackson because Jeff would be too hungover to help.

They hadn’t thrown a party last year because of Covid, but this year Jeff was more than excited to start the tradition back up, throwing a party that would “more than make up for the missed year” as he put it. But the day had finally come. They had spent the week shopping and the morning setting up.

“You boys excited?” Jeff asked as he poured out some chips into a bowl.

“Yea!” Sam cried out, happily straightening up the living room.

Jackson didn’t understand how he could do it, but Jeff had talked Sam into wearing his simple every day routine to the party. Nothing but a diaper and tshirt with his pacifier. Jeff had described it as passing it off as a costume and nothing more, but Jackson hadn’t been a fan of the idea. Jeff had wanted him to match Sam, going as a ‘couples costume’ as Jeff put it, but Jackson had to draw the line somewhere, and Jeff reluctantly respected that wish. Still demanding that he follow all the house rules but giving him the option of something that covered up the extra details he didn’t want to display to the world.

“Jackson?” Jeff called out.

“Yea…it’s just…you know how I am around crowds,” Jackson said.

“Awww, it's okay little guy” Jeff responded.

“Jeff…”

“I know. Look, it's just one night, and it's the only time of year I do it,” Jeff said, trying to reason with him.

“Right…Just one night,” Jackson thought to himself as he nodded.

The three finished up what they were doing as the start of the party drew closer. Jackson ensured the doors to the office and nursery were locked to keep people out and kept the key in his pocket.

“I can take the key,” Jeff said as he extended his hand out.

“Jeff, you're gonna be…” Jackson started to say.

“I said, I can take the key”.

Jackson handed over the key reluctantly, knowing he would have to ask for it later when he knew he would want to hide away from all of this, but that's probably exactly what he was going for.

“Alright, the two of you. It's Halloween, so that means we’ll make a few exceptions to the rules. First, I know there's gonna be a lot of people here, but all the house rules still apply unless I make an exception. You both can have a few drinks, but you know the rules on cups. Sam you can have Jackson pour your drinks…”

“Jeff, I’m not drinking from a sippy cup with all of these people here…”

“Excuse me, but last I checked little…”

“Jeff, no,” Jackson responded firmly as he cut him off. It wasn’t like Jackson to be firm with Jeff, and he almost never was until today when he felt he had to draw the line at the publicity of it all.

“Well, fine. What happened to the exhibitionist in you? You used to love this kind of stuff.”

“Yea, used to. Besides, that was like a few close friends. Not a 100 random strangers”.

“Fine. I won’t argue with you on that, but that's your last slide for the night, got it?”

Jackson nodded as he rolled his eyes, something he was sure he’d pay for later.

“Alright, where was I…right, looks like Jackson really is going to play the role of the older brother tonight, so if you need something Sam, you ask him. He's in charge. Ummm, I guess last thing is just that your bedtime can be a little later than usual, but I still want you in bed before midnight.”

“Doesn’t this party go till the crack of dawn?” Jackson said in an unamused voice.

“Yea, and?” Jeff responded.

Jackson shook his head, he knew he wouldn’t enjoy himself tonight and it only seemed like those suspicions were coming true.

“Right, any other questions?” Jeff asked.

“Ummm…what should I do all night?” Sam asked.

“It's a party. Dance, chat, drink, eat, whatever,” Jeff said as he went back to the kitchen to finish setting things up.

“You can hang with me,” Jackson said as he nudged Sam.

Sam smiled, “Okay, that sounds like fun!”

—------

There was a knock at the door. “I got it,” Jeff called out as he made his way to the front door.

Jackson felt his gut sink a little, hoping that people trickled in and that only a few showed up. He really didn’t like crowds of people. Besides, there was more than an hour until the advertised start time of the party, who shows up to a party this early?

Sam quickly grabbed the remote and turned the cartoons off and held Jackson’s hand, squeezing hard. He had left the house a few times and gone in public to go grocery shopping and small errands, but never as exposed as he was now. A part of him regretted the choice, but he knew it would make Jeff happy. Besides, it was just a costume after all.

“Heyyyy!” Jackson heard Jeff call out as he opened the door, quickly recognizing the sound of the voice responding as Chad’s. In the early days of Jeff and his relationship, they were a lot more explorative, oftentimes involving Chad in their activities which typically just lead to him being passed around between him and Jeff. It was fun for a bit, but as their relationship merged into less of a hook up situation, and more of a serious long term relationship, they had both mutually agreed that maybe it was best for something like that to end.

“Oh shit, what's up Jackson!? How have you been?” Chad said as he made his way into the living room.

“Not a whole lot,” Jackson said, not getting up from the couch to properly greet him.

“Right on, and who's this guy?” Chad asked, grabbing a seat on the couch. “Love the costume! Haven't seen one like that in person before”.

“Hi,” Sam said quietly, scooting up next to Jackson in an attempt to hide.

“This is uh, Sam,” Jackson said, reaching his arm around Sam. “He’s…”

“The newest addition to the family,” Jeff called out from the kitchen. “You want a beer, Chad?”

“Hell yea, it’s Halloween after all!”

“So, where's your costume?” Jackson asked, trying to make small talk to break the awkwardness he felt.

“Oh, I don’t dress up. Think I’m too old for that.”

Jeff let out a scoff from the kitchen as he made his way over to where the three of them were sitting. “Too old? Man, look at the three of us. It’s a fucking costume party”

Chad shrugged, taking the beer from Jeff and cracking it open.

“So new to the family, huh? Does that mean like, y’all fuck?”

Jeff let out a laugh as Jackson starred with a blank expression, having forgotten how intolerable Chad was. Probably the real reason he and Jeff stopped hanging with him on a regular basis.

“Subtle,” Jackson muttered.

“Yea, we fuck alright,” Jeff said as he glanced between Jackson and Sam.

Chad let out a laugh as Jackson stared back at Jeff annoyed. “Right, so just out of curiosity, what does that dynamic look like? I know Jeff is the large and in charge type, and we all know what Jackson’s like…” He said as he looked over at Jackson, causing Sam to look at him with a face or curiosity.

“I’ll tell you later,” Jackson said to Sam as a side comment.

“What was that?” Chad let out.

“Talking to Sam, Chad…”

There was a moment of silence as Chad stared at both Jackson and Sam, a face of puzzlement as he looked the two up and down.

“Shiiiiit, don’t tell me,” Chad said as he looked over at Jeff with a big smirk. “One wasn’t enough, was it?”

Jeff shrugged with a smirk himself as he took another drink.

“I’d bet that's not even a costume knowing you Jeff,” He said as he looked over at Sam and laughed.

Sam’s face turned red as he buried it behind Jackon’s arm.

“Fucking hell…” Chad said as he shook his head in disbelief. “You always were the guy, Jeff. Got all the girls in college, but now…”

“Yeaaaa,” Jeff let out. “Now I’m settled down and starting a family”.

Jackson and Sam blushed as Jackson looked at Jeff with a quick loving glance. It was demeaning, sure. But Jackson knew that what he and Jeff had, or rather what the three of them had was unique. Something that Jeff cherished and would do anything to protect. That was the part that made Jackson feel safe. Loved even. Knowing that Jeff was serious about the relationship, no matter how much shit he was given.

—--

It was another hour or so before guests started to pour into the house, causing Jackson and Sam to hide out on the couch in an attempt to escape the masses. Drinking what little beer they had grabbed before the crowds had swarmed, making it too difficult to get up and grab more. Besides, they both had already soaked their diapers and weren’t sure they could handle much more before leaking through.

Sam sat up and sat next to Jackson, peering out into the crowd before them and stared in disbelief. “You guys really do this every year?”

“Unfortunately…” Jackson said, leaning over to give Sam a kiss on the cheek.

Sam blushed and returned the favor, stopping to whisper into Jackson’s ear, “I really need a change”.

Jackson laughed, “I thought I remember there being something about how you can’t ask for that…”

Sam shrugged, appearing slightly buzzed. He wasn’t kidding though, looking down at Sam’s diaper he could tell it was saturated to its max, bulging out in every direction.

“Right uh, I’ll go see if I can get the key from Jeff…you stay here,” Jackson said, slowly getting up from the couch before realizing just how much of a lightweight he had become.

Sam did as he was told and waited patiently on the couch, alone, as he waited for Jackson to return. Jackson got up and pushed his way through the crowd, feeling his own diaper pushing its limits as he walked, crinkling with each step of the way. But it was a crinkle that he was sure only he could hear as the music was far too loud.

“Jeff,” Jackson called out as he shoved his way through the crowd of people, making his way towards the kitchen where he knew Jeff would be. “Jeff?”

“Yooooo, what's up kiddo!” Jeff said as he drunkenly grabbed Jackson and pulled him into a big hug, to which Jackson quickly pushed away, realizing he was now inside a circle of Jeff’s friends, all of which were staring at him.

“You guys have met Jackson, right?” Jeff let out as he held on to Jackson to keep his balance.

Jackson felt embarrassed, but recognized a few faces, including Chad’s.

“Can I, uh. Can I just get the key real quick?”

“The what? Speak up buddy”

“The key,” He said in a firm tone, not in the mood to play games.

“Oh, are you boys going to bed already?” Jeff said with a laugh, obviously trying to enlist a reaction from his friends.

“Oh, that's right! I have got to meet your new partner, Jeff!” One of the guys said.

“Totally! Jackson, where's your…”

“Dammit Jeff, can I just have the key?”

There was some awkward silence as Jeff stared at Jackson in a drunker gaze. “Well someones cranky…” He reached into his pocket and pulled out the key which Jacson quickly snatched and dipped back into the crowd, having just about had it with Jeff.

He made his way to the nursery door and unlocked it, quickly squeezing in through the door to avoid anyone from peaking in. He just needed a moment to himself. It was nice to be in an empty room. The noise was still as loud as if he were in the kitchen, music blaring and people talking, screaming, but for a moment he was alone. Bracing himself, he got ready to exit to go find Sam so the two of them could escape, and of course get Sam changed.

He stopped leaning on the door and got ready to open it as it quickly opened, and a taller woman dipped in.

“Excuse me! This room is off limits,” Jackson said, having just about had it with the night in general.

“Oh it's okay, I’m a friend of Jeff’s,” She said as she looked around the room.

“I don’t care, get the fuck out,” Jackson shouted.

“Harsh, and I mean like a good friend. We used to hook up back in college.”

“Great, and I’m his current hook up, so if you could just get the hell out”.

“Okay hun, let me start over. I’m Amanda, and I just could tell that you were really frustrated with Jeff out there, reasonably so, and…I guess you could say I was curious to see if the rumors were true,” she said as she gestured to the room.

“Lady, for the final time, I don’t care, please leave”

“Look, why don’t I go get… Sam is it? That way you don’t have to go back out there.”

Jackson wasn’t really sure what to say. “Sure. Fine. Just say that Jacky said to follow you”

“Jacky?” Amanda said with a smirk.

“Yea, and?” Jackson said looking back with a stern face that clearly communicated that he didn’t care what she thought.

She shrugged as she exited the room, promptly shutting the door behind her.

“FUCK,” Jackson thought to himself, pacing through the room. The night just kept taking turns for the worst and he was ready to just head to bed, even if it would be a struggle.

A few minutes passed before the door swung open and Sam and Amanda quickly entered the room, closing and locking it behind them.

“Jacky!” Sam said as he ran over to Jackson.

“Hey bud, let’s get you changed,” Jackson said. “You- You can leave now, Amanda,” Jackson said, turning back to face her.

“You boys don’t want help getting changed?”

“What the fuck?” Jackson thought, who did they think they were?

“No. No we would not like…” Jackson started to say.

“I, uh…I wouldn’t mind…” Sam said quietly.

“What?” Jackson asked, somewhat puzzled.

“I wouldn’t mind if she changed me…it’d be kinda nice”

Jackson stared at Sam completely bewildered.

“Are…are you sure? I can change you, Sam,” Jackson said.

Sam nodded, “I want to see what it's like”.

Amanda smiled. “See, at least some little boys know how to have fun,” She said sarcastically.

Jackson stared blankly as Sam climbed up onto the changing table as Amanda made her way over. He shook his head as he walked over to the closet to change out of his costume, grabbing a clean t-shirt to throw on as Amanda wrapped up changing Sam.

“Alright, you're all set, baby,” She said as she helped Sam off the table. “And what about you, mr?”

Jackson looked up to see her staring at him. “Oh no, I think we're done here”

“You’re going to go to bed in a soggy diaper then?”

“If that's what it takes, yea,” He said aggressively, tired of dealing with people.

“Alright, sweetie. I’ll let your daddy know you guys are in bed for the night”

“Thanks, Amanda!” Sam called out from the crib as she made her way to the door.

“Anytime, sweetheart. You boys sleep well now,” She said as she quickly opened the door and left. Jackson could hear the key turn from the other side locking it from the outside.

“Jesus christ,” Jackson let out with a big sigh as he climbed into the crib with Sam.

Sam rolled over and gave him a big squeeze as he laid down in the bed, “Long day, huh?”

“Yea, you could say that.”

“Sure you don’t want a change? She forgot to put the gate up,” Sam said.

“You know…if you wouldn’t mind…”

“It’ll be our little secret,” Sam said with a smile as the two of them crawled out of bed.

“Right, like I’m sure you won’t cash that in at a future date,” Jackson joked as he climbed onto the changing station.

“First time for everything I guess,” Sam said with a laugh.
