“How about Sunday? Do you have plans? My shop is closed on Sundays.”

Avery glanced over at him. Jace nodded in encouragement. His boy had been trying to get up the nerve to invite Hayley to the house for a playdate. Hayley wasn’t as patient as Jace though. Hayley had quickly invited himself over which had thrown Avery off.

It was cute to witness.

Avery took a deep breath. “Hayley, would you like to come over on Sunday for a playdate? We can play in my sandbox and my nursery. We can’t go swimming. My Daddy says it too cold now.”

Hayley bobbed his head. “I’d love to come over. It’s okay if we can’t go swimming. I’m sure they’ll be lots of other stuff we can do. I bet you have lots of toys.”

Those were the magic words.

Jace smiled. Hayley was one smart little cookie. Whoever ended up claiming Hayley as their own was going to get a boy that was a handful.

“I do!” Avery exclaimed. “You like animals, right? I have a zoo, a farm, a ranch, an aquarium. I have lots and lots to do.”

“I can’t wait!” Hayley hugged Avery tight.

They went back to playing but Jace was starting to notice how often Avery was shifting around.

Jace rose from the large recliner on the corner and crouched down behind his boy.

“I’m getting hungry,” Hayley said suddenly. “Caleb said he made lots of treats. I’m going to go get something.”

“Okay.” Avery continued to build the wall for his castle.

The other boy quickly left the room. Jace waited until they were alone.

“Do you need to go to the bathroom baby boy?”

Avery turned his head before pressing against Jace’s stomach. “I already did. When I was playing.”

“It’s okay love. That’s why I put you in a diaper. In case you got too busy playing and forgot to go.”

“Will you change me?”

“Of course.” Jace rose before he lifted Avery to his feet. “Grant let me put our bag in one of the spare rooms. Come with me.”

Jace led Avery out of the playroom and down the hall to the spare room Grant had shown him earlier. Almost every room had been redecorated. This room was light and breezy. Perfect for his boy or any of the other boys if they needed a break.

The giraffe diaper bag was on the bed right where he’d left it. Jace walked his boy over and patted the mattress.

“Come up here and let me get you all changed. Then we’ll go back to the party.”

“K Daddy.” Avery grabbed the binkie attached by the clip and put it in his mouth. Jace was pleased that his boy hadn’t conveniently lost the clip like he normally did. He was being such a good boy. Even though Jace had caught him several times sneaking candy.

With his binkie in his mouth, Avery spread himself out on the bed.

Jace took hold of the zipper under Avery’s chin and pulled it down. He kept unzipping the costume until the wet diaper was revealed.

“All that juice went right through you.”

Avery hummed, sucking harder on his binkie.

Jace was either going to have a super hyper boy on his hands or an exhausted one. Maybe there was a way to get some healthy food into his boy instead of nothing but sugar.

He pulled Avery’s feet from the footed part of the costume before he untaped the diaper.

Jace peeled the diaper away from his boy’s sensitive parts.
