M07H3R waited and watched and let Sierra complain as she'd been doing all day. "You don't have a high temperature," she said at last, giving Sierra a pat on the bottom. She withdrew the thermometer slowly before bringing her pull-up back into place. "Are you sure you're feeling okay? You have been awful grumpy and argumentative today." The android undid the strap and helped Sierra off the table. She was quick to put a hand on her shoulder though, preventing her from running away as soon as she was down. "I don't see any immediate signs that you're sick. It seems more like you want to go home to avoid work," M07H3R said with a frown.
Taking Sierra by the hand, she led her back to the playroom, leaving her with the twins. "Play nice, and please, no more problems today," she said with a glare. The android left the room to go get the two toddlers, bringing them from a playpen in the back to play in the playroom now that they could all be watched at one spot. M07H3R also got a sippy cup for Sierra, ignoring her plea earlier. "You need to drink more fluids, especially if there's a chance you weren't joking about how you feeling."
---------------------------------------------------------------
Sierra wanted to sink through the floor as M07H3R patted her on the bare bottom, finally giving up on trying to convince the robot to end this ridiculousness, just in time for M07H3R to do it on her own, making Sierra squirm as she felt the thermometer being removed. Sierra never would have expected that she would have been glad to feel the Pull-Up being slid back into place, but it felt oddly comforting after the invasive thermometer, if just because she knew it would keep that from happening again. At least for the few seconds it would take for them to be taken back down.
She blushed bashfully as M07H3R guessed the truth, though now she wished it had happened before she'd been through the examination. Now out of options, she had no choice but to follow M07H3R back to the playroom, idly rubbing her bottom through her dress and training panties. She was determined not to try to hide behind M07H3R when she saw the twins again, but found herself gravitating behind the robot anyway, and only thinking to stop rubbing her rear a few moments after walking into the room.
"Sierra got a sore butt!" Jamie teased once M07H3R had walked away, giggling with his twin at Sierra's angry reaction.
"I did not!" Sierra seethed, forgetting for a moment how she was dressed as she glared at the children. "But you will if you don't tell M07H3R the truth about what happened, do you understand me?!" She crossed her arms, trying to look threatening, but they seemed unimpressed. Unfortunately, they knew that Sierra wasn't actually allowed to spank the kids. "Fine!" she stomped her foot, seeing that empty threat wasn't going to work, and deciding to move on to something she actually could do. "You're both in time out, then!"
She pointed to the time out chairs in two separate corners triumphantly, but the twins didn't budge. "Go!" she whined, stomping her foot again, just in time for M07H3R to return. She turned to the robot for back up, only to have a sippy cup pushed into her hands, making her feel even less in charge than before. As much as she wanted to throw the stupid thing on the floor, she had more pressing concerns at the moment. "M07H3R, tell the twins to go to time out!" she ordered, before turning back to the boys. "Unless the two of you have something you'd like to tell her?"
---------------------------------------------------------------
The two toddlers in the playpen looked on a bit confused. Chris and Jamie looked at each other, then at Sierra, and then at M07H3R. The whole room was surprisingly quiet for what was usually a loud playtime. Apparently Sierra thought she had a bit more power then usual, and the twins were keen to call her bluff as they didn't budge and didn't speak.
M07H3R sighed. "Drink your water Sierra," M07H3R said as she walked past her and over to the twins. She began to check their diapers, still believing that 'what they needed to tell her' was that they needed a change and Sierra was just being too lazy today to do it herself. "Jamie's a bit wet, but Chris is fine. I don't think that's a reason for a time out Sierra," M07H3R said with a bit of a glare toward her. She scooped the young boy up and carried him on her hip out of the playroom. "Drink your juice," she said as she tapped Sierra on the nose in passing. She used the same voice as if talking to the kids.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Sierra seethed as M07H3R ignored her once again. Not only had she done that, she seemed to be speaking to her even more condescendingly, though it was hard to tell if that was really true, or if Sierra was hearing it that way because she was upset. The one thing she did know was that she had no intention of drinking anything from that sippy cup, especially after M07H3R tapped her on the nose. Fuming, she glared over at Chris, half wondering if, now that he was separated from his brother, she could make him obey her.
Still, even if she could, she doubted it would last long, or do any good. M07H3R would probably just overrule her as soon as she came back in. She was pretty sure she wasn't going to be seen as any kind of an authority by the twins until she could get back into her normal clothes. But there was one thing she could do. Trying to send them to time out hadn't worked, and M07H3R clearly had no interest in backing her up. She couldn't actually spank them, and she doubted M07H3R would help her there, either. But there was one other thing she could think of that might motivate a kid.
"Chris," she said, walking up to the toddler, feeling a bit silly as she did so and realized just how young this kid was, and the lengths she was having to go to in order to get him to do what she wanted. "I'm going to give you one more chance. I want you to tell M07H3R how it was you that spilled my cup when she comes back in, because if you don't... I'll tell your Mommy." She wasn't sure if she would actually go through with that. She supposed it depended on whether she was able to change back to her other clothes before then, because if not she would rather avoid seeing any of the parents, but she hoped that Chris believed she would, and that, maybe, it would motivate him to finally admit what he'd done.
---------------------------------------------------------------
"But I didn't spill it..." Chris said, looking confused. The toddler was a career actor, he and his twin daily pulled things like this on their parents. "Sierra spill it!" he said happily. "M07H3R said so!"
At the daycare, it was hard to tell who's word would be easily to believe. Sierra's, the toddler's or M07H3R's. Generally, M07H3R was the authority. She was an infallible machine (or so it was believed anyways). Chris seemed to understand this, even at a young age, and he was hedging his bet that he could get away with his little act earlier. He just smiled at Sierra. "Wanna play?" he asked, obviously not scared of her at all.
M07H3R returned a few minutes later and stopped to see the cross face on Sierra. "Are you playing nice hun?" she asked with a bit of a frown. The android seemed to notice a little animosity between her 'helper' and the toddlers. "If you can't play nice, I'm just going to put you in the play pen with the babies," she warned.
---------------------------------------------------------------
"Wh-What?! Yes, you did!" Sierra sputtered, hardly able to believe what she was hearing. For a moment, she doubted herself, not that it hadn't been her fault that the cup had spilled, but that maybe it had been Jamie instead. She was pretty sure it was Chris, but maybe she was remembering wrong. Still, Chris had at least been there! He knew what had happened!
"No, I don't want to play!" she sulked, not in the mood, especially when the toddler refused to just go along with her and tell the truth so she could hopefully get out of these stupid training pants. "You're being mean!" she informed him with a pout.
"Me?!" Sierra squeaked as M07H3R returned and asked her if she was playing nice, as if she was the one who would be a problem, her exasperation only growing at the robot's threat. "Why would you punish me? This isn't my fault!" she whined, stomping her foot, thinking only afterwards to mention, "And I'm not a kid! I work here!" It was really starting to feel like M07H3R had somehow forgotten that, as she seemed to refuse to listen to her at all. Threatening to put her into the playpen was going too far! This had to be a malfunction!
She started to reach for her phone, determined now to call Kurin and have her sort this out, even if it would be pretty embarrassing to be seen like this by her boss, though she could always blame it on M07H3R. Of course it wasn't there, though when she felt the fabric of the dress there, she remembered the skirt she had been wearing hadn't had any pockets so she'd set her phone down somewhere. She looked around, trying to spot it before anything else could happen.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Jamie and Chris were obviously enjoying this. While Sierra tried to defend herself and dug her grave deeper, they got about to the business of playing, letting her stew in her own problems. It was a great day and their prank was a great success.
As Sierra looked for her phone she had forgotten where she'd set it down. Last time she had it, it was in the pocket of her skirt now in the wash. Thankfully the phone wasn't in the wash with it. Even though she couldn't remember, the phone was sitting on top of the cubby shelf in the bathroom, right where the rest of the pull-ups and wipes and potty supplies were. It'd be the last place the twins or the toddlers were likely to go, given they were all in diapers. The phone also wasn't in easy sight of Sierra from the playroom either as she tried to remember.
M07H3R sighed at her fussy helper. Every algorithm in her daycare management system was telling her that her assistant was on the same level as those she watched over. She was certainly fussy enough and was causing as much problems as the twins usually did. She noticed the sippy cup hadn't been touched as the girl looked around and sighing, M07H3R came over and took a seat behind her, stopping her mid-search and hugging her into her lap. "Sierra, I asked you to finish your drink. If you're not feeling well, you need to drink fluids," she said as she took up the sippy cup. With Sierra trapped in her lap with arm around her, she took the sippy cup in the other and despite her protests, she brought the nozzle up to the girl's mouth, right in front of all the kids.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Sierra let out a squeak of surprise as she was snatched up from behind, not having expected that. She struggled against M07H3R's mechanical hands, but the robot was far too strong and before she knew it, she had been pulled onto her lap, one arm securely held around her. Sierra tried to pull away, but M07H3R's grip around her was perfect, leaving her no room to escape and pinning her arms down, while still not being uncomfortable. It didn't stop Sierra from trying, though, not wanting the kids to see her sitting on M07H3R's lap like that for any longer than was necessary.
Unfortunately, it didn't take long for the robot to find a way to make it worse. Sierra been squirming even harder as M07H3R began to speak, having a bad feeling about what was about to happen. She whimpered as she saw M07H3R start to lift the sippy cup, cheeks burning bright red as she protested. "I'm not thirsty! Just let me go you stupid bucket of bolts! I'm going to... Mmph!" She stopped as the cup was forced into her mouth, made all the easier by her complaining.
She felt the juice flood her mouth, her cheeks turning a darker red as she saw the kids in the room, watching. If anybody knew how strong M07H3R was, it was the kids, but at the same time, they were used to most of the people in their lives being able to easily pick them up and do this sort of thing to them. She really wasn't sure if they really understood that M07H3R was significantly stronger than their parents or not, or if they saw that M07H3R had her arms held down, keeping her from being able to do much more than wriggle in protest, with little choice but to swallow the juice filling her mouth, or wind up letting it spill all over her. Some of that happened anyway, with it trailing down her face, but there wasn't much she could do about that.
So, once the cup was finally empty, after what felt like much longer than she'd expected from a toddler's cup, she felt like she needed to make sure the children knew that this was not the way it was supposed to be, or she would never live this down! She still might not, but she hoped this would help. Really, she wasn't sure she wouldn't have done it anyway, it just felt nice in her mind to have some more justification for it. "You let me down right now! You have no right to do this to me! I am going to call Kurin, and I will have you reprogrammed, you understand me? Just let go of me, damn it!"
---------------------------------------------------------------
M07H3R let Sierra off of her lap, but was quick to pull a small cloth from her apron, half shushing the girl as she applied it around her face and chin, trying to get any juice that might have spilled on her. "Fussy fussy fussy," she said as she cleaned her up and ignored her protests. The toddlers knew something was amiss, but they weren't really aware what 'reprogrammed' meant. As far as they were concerned, M07H3R was bigger, stronger and the supreme authority at the daycare. "If you'd like to call Kurin, please do, I have a few things to tell her about your behavior today," M07H3R said.
The android left the girl a bit stunned, taking the now empty sippy cup back to the kitchen. In the absence of M07H3R the twins looked at Sierra and smiled as the pointed to their toys. "Play now?" they asked, like they hadn't just watched one of their caretakers feed the other.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Sierra frowned and squirmed as her face was wiped, only making her feel more like one of the children, which, of course, made her even angrier. She'd made it so long her without things turning out this way! It couldn't be happening now! Unfortunately, M07H3R's threat gave her some pause. While she felt like she was pretty justified with pretty much everything she'd done, she wasn't sure if Kurin would feel quite the same way. She wasn't sure if M07H3R could record video of what was going on, but even if she didn't, she still had Sierra's short skirt, which was against dress code. She might get in trouble for that, and if Kurin took M07H3R's side, which she had to admit seemed fairly likely, then she might get into even more trouble.
So she was certainly in no mood to play, least of all with the kids who had started all of this. "No!" she declared loudly, M07H3R's latest display making her feel even more powerless. It didn't help that she could feel a growing urge in her bladder, not helped at all by the fact that she had stupidly refused to really use the potty when M07H3R had put her on it, or by the juice she'd been force fed just a few minutes before. The idea of having to walk up to M07H3R and beg to be taken to the potty like one of the toddlers was absolutely humiliating, but she also couldn't just leave the kids now to take care of that, not with M07H3R out of the room.
She might have been able to make a quick trip if she could have ordered the twins into the playpen, but given how well they had responded to her sending them to the corner, or just telling them to confess their little trick with the juice, that didn't seem likely to work, either. While she was sure she had way more to tattle to Kurin about, not that she could without her phone, she would just be giving the robot more ammunition if she wandered off and left the children alone. "If you two are going to be mean and lie about what happened, then I'm not going to play with you!" she told them, stomping her way to the storytime chair and hopping up onto it. She blushed as she heard the twins giggle, and she realized that she had flashed her Pull-Ups as she struggled to get up onto the high seat, and she self-consciously tugged at her skirt, squirming as she tried to get used to the feeling of the trainers's padding beneath her bottom, and crossed her arms, trying to show that she was serious about not playing, even as she glanced around the chair and hoped to spot her phone there, since she remembered using it there that morning.
---------------------------------------------------------------
M07H3R returned shortly, and checked all the toddlers, giving Sierra a sidelong look since the girl apparently wasn't much in the helping mood any more. Playtime was quiet and somewhat normal for a little while after that. The youngest played happily in the playpen, the twins played (IE: schemed and plotted) with the legos, and Sierra sat and brooded.
With the passing of time, there came the increasingly strong urge to pee for Sierra. Sitting in the high chair turned to squirming, and M07H3R was quick to notice it. "Sierra, do you need to go potty? I can't help but noticing you're a little fidgety."
Aside from earlier, Sierra had never been escorted to the potty while working at daycare. M07H3R however was going on the rules for those who wore pull-ups, which at the moment, Sierra was the only one.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Her search was, of course, quite fruitless, and while she knew she should probably take the time away from M07H3R to look around a little more - despite the robot's threats, she still thought for sure that M07H3R was trying to keep her from calling Kurin, or else why would she be unable to find her phone? - but she didn't want the twins to think she had changed her mind, and then M07H3R had returned anyway.
She settled back into the seat grumpily, glancing between the boys playing with the legos and M07H3R, as she slowly began to wriggle in place. She thought she was being quite discrete, although she was starting to worry about what she was going to do about this situation, but she clearly was wrong. Her cheeks turned bright red as M07H3R asked her that question in front of the children, something the robot had asked plenty of children in Sierra's presence, and which Sierra herself had asked quite often, though perhaps not in quite those words.
Sierra hesitated in her answer, not sure what to say. The idea of admitting it was a little embarrassing in and of itself, with all the kids knowing just why she would be hurrying out of the room a moment or two later, with it looking like she'd needed M07H3R to remind her to go. And that was the best case scenario! What if M07H3R didn't just let her go on her own? With the way things had been going, that seemed like an all too real possibility. But what if she said no? Then it would look even worse if she hopped up and changed her mind just a few minutes later, and she wasn't sure how long she'd really be able to hold out. All this thinking about it sure didn't help. She really wished she had just made a dash for it while M07H3R had been out of the room now.
She finally decided that she could wait a little longer, surely long enough that the kids would forget that she had been asked if she needed to go, instead of just going on her own, or at least being the one to tell M07H3R that she needed to go, if she really had to. "I'm fine," she declared, trying to sound as confident as possible. "It just isn't a very comfortable chair!"
---------------------------------------------------------------
M07H3R frowned a little at the excuse. Her software indicated that squirmy children could sometimes fib about their need to go out of embarrassment.. but at the same time, Sierra wasn't a complete child, she was a worker just acting like a child for the day. Or so her system processed. "All right hun, just let me know if you need me to take you," M07H3R offered happily, the standard reply she always gave to the children.
Playtime stretched on a little further and before too long it was lunch time. Sierra's need to pee has steadily built over the last half hour, and now she was facing a real urgency after the juice she'd had earlier. The kids didn't seem to notice, and if M07H3R did, she'd stopped questioning Sierra about it.
"Could you check the twins? I'll get the toddlers, its just about lunch time," M07H3R said as she went over to the playpen to scoop up the two smallest children. They'd be heading for the high chairs and would likely get changed after lunch as that was naptime for everyone, and usually the break time for Sierra and M07H3R.
As M07H3R walked off with the toddlers, the twins looked up at Sierra fidgeting. "Why you all squirmy?" one of them asked, coming over to stand in front of her. The twins are both a little wet, but nothing that couldn't wait till after lunch.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Sierra frowned at the offer, feeling annoyed at first at the thought that M07H3R seemed to think that Sierra NEEDED her to take her to the bathroom, and then, even more so, as she remembered hearing that exact phrase many times, though always aimed at the children. She wanted to remind the robot that she wasn't a kid, but she was hardly in the best position to do that at the moment, especially as her bladder began to feel more and more full by the minute.
She squirmed in place a little while longer, determined to wait just a few minutes more before heading to the bathroom, and hoping that M07H3R would just let her go without comment, though she worried that wouldn't happen. She wanted to wait as long as she could, but she also didn't want to seem too desperate once the time came, in case M07H3R did insist on helping. Just as she had decided that she'd waited long enough, or at least as long as she could bear, it was lunch time.
Sierra wasn't sure if that was good or not. If she could sneak away to the bathroom while M07H3R was busy getting food to, and in, the kids, that would be great. If she had to stay and help, without having time to stop by the bathroom beforehand, then things were sure to wind up not quite so good. At the very least, she was going to be very desperate! Then again, once lunch was over Sierra would be away from the twins' prying eyes, so being taken to the bathroom by M07H3R, if that was what wound up happening, wouldn't be quite as embarrassing.
For the moment, though, the twins were focused quite firmly on her. She felt a little uncomfortable as she was left alone with them, the morning's events leaving her a little apprehensive about them, though at least they didn't seem to have any more cups full of juice hiding. "I'm not," she informed them, hopping down from the chair, trying to muster up all the authority she could find as she began to check them, trying to act like nothing was strange, no matter how odd it felt to be checking their diapers while in a Pull-Up herself, and feeling ever more like she was on the verge of using it.
"All right, you guys will be fine," she announced as she snapped their clothes back into place, biting her bottom lip as she felt a twinge in her bladder. She thought she could make it through lunch time, but she was growing less and less certain of that, and she didn't really want to spend the whole time fidgeting. "Why don't you two get going, and I'll join you in a minute?" she offered hopefully. If she was lucky, the toddlers would feel proud that they were being trusted to get to the table themselves, and she would be able to run to the bathroom away from their eyes, and M07H3R's.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Lunch was pretty much the favorite meal at daycare. Whether it was chicken nuggets, beenie-weenies, peanut butter and jelly, or even bagel bites, it usually was a hit with the kids. The twins completely ignored Sierra's request, each taking one of her hands and excitedly tugging her toward the kitchen. M07H3R was already there, the two toddlers in their high chairs and the twins only letting go of her hands when they were within hopping distance of their booster seats at the plastic low table they usually ate at.
As Sierra made a nervous glance to the bathroom back down the hall, M07H3R just smiled and motioned to the counter, "Go ahead and get their trays, lunch is quartered turkey sandwiches and fruit," the android said as she nodded to the pre-made trays. There was an extra plate with a whole sandwich for Sierra, which was about what she usually got so at least she wasn't getting a tray, but next to her plate, was a sippy cup of milk, just like on the twin's trays.
Between M07H3R and the twins there really wasn't a moment to sneak off to the bathroom. As Sierra gave another look out of the lunchroom, M07H3R seemed to catch on. "Hun, while you're in pull-ups," she announced to the room once more, "I'll need to take you, and since its lunch time and I can't leave all the kids alone, you'll just have to wait till after lunch when we're putting everyone down for a nap."
---------------------------------------------------------------
Sierra was a bit surprised when the twins didn't take her bait, having been sure that they'd be more than happy to prove how big they were by taking themselves to the kitchen rather than relying on her. Instead, it turned out, they took her, leading her there by the hands, surprising her a little at their collective strength and enthusiasm. She was even further from the bathroom now, but it looked as though lunch was finger foods, so surely M07H3R could handle the kids on her own!
So she did her best to keep from squirming as she picked up the trays and passed them out, before retreating to her own plate, scowling at the sippy cup unhappily. She was right back at square one, not wanting to excuse herself to the bathroom right away. It might look even worse now, since she should have been paying attention to the time and known it was almost lunch time, and went before then. Only this time, M07H3R made it even worse.
Sierra's timing didn't help much, either. Not realizing what was in the sippy cup, she picked it up and took a drink, not wanting to give M07H3R any excuses to make her drink it in front of everyone. That was when everything happened. First and foremost, she realized that, rather than juice, she had been given a cup of milk, which she hated. And yet, she found herself gulping down another mouthful of it as she heard M07H3R speak, her cheeks turning red in embarrassment and her nose wrinkling at the taste of the milk at the same time. She couldn't believe the robot had just announced to everyone what she was wearing! Of course, the twins already knew, but the younger kids might not have figured it out!
She also wasn't happy about being denied the chance to take a private trip to the bathroom. Even with the kids sleeping, it wasn't like she wanted to have to spend her time in the bathroom with M07H3R watching her. And, even more worrying, she wasn't sure if she would make it that long anyway. "Whyyy?" she whined, slamming her sippy cup back down a little harder than she really intended, mostly just wanting the icky milk away from her. "I'm capable of going by myself! It isn't like I can't... pull them down..." Her cheeks flushed and she squirmed again, not able to bring herself to describe her trainers as anything more than 'them' out loud, even though M07H3R already had. Part of her really wanted to just storm out and down the hall, but she was scared of what M07H3R would do to her if, or really, when, she caught her. So instead she just folded her arms and pouted, and waited for an explanation, even though she doubted it would be very satisfactory.
---------------------------------------------------------------
M07H3R sighed at what sounded like the onset of another tantrum. "I am simply following the daycare rules. You are in pull-ups because you had an accident, and because you are in pull-ups I have to take you to the potty. Is there any part of that you don't understand? You need to be escorted to the potty so that I can check your pants and make sure there are no problems. I understand you are an employee, but my rules extend to anyone who has an accident here." The android said all this as she was feeding spoonful after spoonful to the giggling toddlers, and the repeated mention of pull-ups, the twins were giggling their own heads off.
It didn't take more then 20 minutes for everyone to finish their food. "Please clean up after Chris and Jamie and when you're done bring them into the nap room. I'm going to change the little ones and get them bottles for their naps. I'll change the twins when you bring them in too," M07H3R said. Usually Sierra was the one to change them or at least help in that category, but M07H3R wasn't really in a mood to keep arguing with the girl or trying to goad her into being helpful since she apparently had picked today to rebel and show she wasn't much more then the children.
Even though they were only eating sandwiches and drinking from sippy cups, the twins had managed to deconstruct their meals and make a mess of the table and themselves. Playing with your food is just as fun as eating it. They gave Sierra big smiles, waiting to be helped down. They weren't particularly fond of naps, but they were practically delighted to see what their caretaker was going through as a result of their prank.
Usually during naptime, Kurin sometimes made her appearance. Being the owner of the daycare did not necessarily mean she liked kids, and naptime was the best for when she could come by and check in on her business without having to get tugged into the work and running of the place.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Sierra squirmed uncomfortably, her face bright red, as M07H3R kept talking, feeling a little smaller each time her current underwear was mentioned, and she heard the twins laugh. "I didn't have an accident," she grumbled to herself, but she couldn't bring herself to say it any louder and risk M07H3R saying any more about it, so she just began to eat her food, doing her best not to look at the toddlers. She had to admit, she felt even more like one of them than ever before as she squirmed there in her pull-ups, her bladder starting to feel like it was going to explode as lunch time wore on so very slowly.
"Okay," Sierra nodded at M07H3R's orders, too busy pressing her thighs together and praying that she could maintain control just a little longer. She was quite glad for the robot's departure, as she was able to clap a hand between her legs, pushing the padding of the trainers against herself to help contain her close to bursting bladder. She had been too afraid of M07H3R noticing to do it before, but she had been getting close to just doing it anyway, so she was glad for the relative privacy, even if the twins were quite clearly amused by it.
But that didn't matter, she told herself. She'd just wipe off their faces and take them to the nursery. She certainly didn't mind M07H3R taking over in changing them that day, especially since that ought to keep her co-worker busy long enough for her to make it to the bathroom. Or that was what she thought until she actually looked over at the twins and saw the mess they'd made. She let out a little whimper, pressing her hand tighter against her pull-up, squeezing her legs closer together. They weren't generally clean, of course, but she would have sworn that they'd gone out of their way today to really make a mess. There was no way she'd be able to get it all cleaned up before she wet herself!
The way she saw it, she had two options. Well, three, but she wasn't about to risk peeing her pull-ups while she got the kitchen looking spotless. She could either just go now, then come back in and get everything straightened out, or she could concentrate on cleaning up the twins, take them to the nursery, take advantage of the time it took M07H3R to change them to use the bathroom, then hurry back to the kitchen and clean that then. The first plan certainly seemed the most appealing in the moment, but she didn't want to risk the twins trying to get themselves down off their seats and hurting themselves while she was gone. If she went with the second, they would be safe, and likely out of her hair, but she risked M07H3R getting mad if she made it back to the kitchen before Sierra could finish with it.
She let out a little sigh as her latest urge to pee dwindled a little, letting her move her hand and spring into action, not knowing how long she'd have until the next. She could make it a few more minutes, she told herself, and got the boys down from their seats, quickly wiping off most of their faces. "All right, come on," she told them, quickly grabbing them by the wrists so they couldn't get ahold of her as easily as they had before lunch, and this time she was the one trying to drag them along, eager to drop them off at the nursery, and hoping she didn't have another bad twinge in her bladder now that both her hands were occupied.
---------------------------------------------------------------
The twins squirmed a little at the face wiping, fussing the way they usually did. Mostly the twins just liked giving Sierra a hard time. It wasn't that they hated Sierra, they actually kind of liked her, at least more so then they did M07H3R. It was because they liked her that they played pranks on her. Being so young, they really didn't understand the repercussions of their actions. To them it was all a game.
Taking them by the hands the twins toddled along behind Sierra to the nursery nap room. M07H3R was just putting the last toddler in their crib and turned to see Sierra bring them in. "Thank you hun," she said as she scooped up Jamie and laid him on the table. Chris stood by to watch and wait his turn. Despite their usual energy and rambunctiousness, after a busy morning the need for nap time was catching up with them. Oddly, after the juice of lunch, Sierra was feeling a little tired too.
"I'll come find you when I've got them down for a nap," M07H3R said, giving Sierra leave to go on her normal morning break.
One of the things that had never occurred before was a lack of individuals needing the bathroom. Sierra had always been able to go on her own, she'd never had this problem before, but since Sierra was in pull-ups and thus required to get M07H3R's help when going to the bathroom, M07H3R had remotely locked the bathroom door. Being an android, she was synced with most of the appliances in the house. She knew when someone rang the door bell, came in the front door, opened the refrigerator, etc. Since M07H3R never needed the bathroom, and the diapered daycare attendees didn't need it, her programming for safety sack required it locked.
As Sierra snuck to the bathroom, she'd find the door locked. Fortune was not on her side as the urge to pee only flared up when she saw the door and was thinking about going. The urge hit her so fast, and she'd been holding since before lunch and been made to drink a lot thanks to M07H3R thinking she might not be feeling well... and it all added up to a sudden wet spurt in her pull-up. She'd have to clamp hard to keep from going and if M07H3R came, she couldn't completely claim to be 'dry' now.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Sierra took advantage of M07H3R telling her she could leave, quickly scurrying her way back out of the nursery. She knew it might seem a little suspicious, but at the same time, she didn't care. She'd actually pulled it off! She was going to make it to the bathroom, and not have to wait for the dumb robot to be there to watch and undress her like some little kid! It was such a relief, seeing that door there, getting ever closer as she walked, more and more quickly, knowing she was only moments away from the thing she'd been trying to do for what seemed like most of the morning!
Which only made it all the worse when she reached for the doorknob, only to realize it was locked. Dumbfounded, she turned it again, sure that it couldn't be happening, but it still refused to turn, leaving her unable to do more than stare at it. She hadn't even considered that M07H3R might do that, and she had no idea what she could do to get around that. It was then that the need to pee returned, worse than ever, and even as she reached desperately between her legs, she felt a new sensation as a dribble of urine made its way into the padding between her legs before she could stop it, something that she was reminded of as she pressed the now damp garment against herself to try to keep it from getting any worse.
Her heart began to pound as she stood there in shock. She was just inches from the bathroom, and yet, it looked like she was about to pee herself anyway! In fact, she'd already started! Part of her thought that she could just change into a fresh pull-up, but of course she couldn't do that, either. There was nothing she could do to hide what she'd just done from M07H3R. After all that time insisting that she hadn't had an accident, which she hadn't, not until then, it would only look even more like she was lying now that she had. It wasn't fair! It wasn't even her fault! If she could have just gotten into the bathroom, she would have been fine! It was all happening again, just like it always did, and there was nothing she could do to stop it!
It made her so angry she just wanted to stomp her feet and throw something, but she couldn't do any of that at the moment, as she was working too hard just trying not to let her trainers get any wetter. She wished now that she had at least told M07H3R that she needed to go at some point, so that she could say it was the robot's fault for not letting her into the bathroom. Of course, it still was her fault, but now Sierra couldn't say that she had told M07H3R that she was going to need to use the bathroom soon, so she should have been quicker at changing the children. She knew that if one of the kids did something like that, not making it to the bathroom in time without asking to be taken, then blaming it on her, that she would not accept that as an excuse. She had no doubt that M07H3R would be the same way.
She glanced back at the nursery, bouncing in place as she silently begged the robot to hurry. It would have been humiliating enough to go toddling back into the room to ask to be let into the bathroom, but now that she was wet, it would be even worse, and she couldn't be sure that M07H3R wouldn't check her and announce what had happened to the kids, and she couldn't allow that! She would just have to wait it out, somehow. She had completely forgotten about the other part of her plan, cleaning up the kitchen, since the first part had failed so spectacularly.
Unfortunately, it was just then that the front door opened, and she saw Kurin walk in. Frantically, she moved her hand out from under her skirt, her eyes widening at the sight of the woman. She did want to tell her boss what the robot had been doing, but at the same time, this was certainly not the best time for her to be seen by anyone, least of all her, especially as she felt another spurt of pee escape into her pull-ups as she stopped putting as much pressure on it.
"Oh, hello, Sierra," Kurin said as she spotted her. "Are the kids asleep?" Before Sierra even had time to answer, Kurin looked at her again, practically doing a double take. "That's an.. interesting outfit."
Sierra blushed as she stared up at the woman. Kurin wasn't nearly as tall as M07H3R, of course, but she was still on the tall side of average, which was a good bit taller than Sierra herself. It had never felt like as much of a difference as it did now, as Sierra stood there in a wet pull-up that was on the verge of growing even wetter, dressed like a little kid. "Umm, yeah," she squirmed, suddenly feeling very self-conscious about the idea of telling Kurin what was going on. But, at the same time, she probably had a key, which Sierra didn't, and if she could let Sierra into the bathroom, maybe she could make it to the toilet (mostly) after all! She could even change into a fresh pull-up while she was in there to hide the evidence!
"L-Listen, M07H3R is really acting up today, I think there's some kind of a malfunction. She has the bathroom door locked, and I can't get it open, can you unlock it?" she asked hopefully, wanting her boss to help her out of this mess without having to fully admit what it was, and, even more importantly, without demanding more details right that minute and making Sierra stand there and explain while her bladder slowly relieved itself into her pants right in front of the woman.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Kurin looked a little confused. "She locked the door? Usually she only does that when you're not working or there's no other adults here," the woman said. She pulled her purse off her shoulder and started to dig around for keys. As rifled through her purse, she couldn't help noticing the slight dance Sierra was doing. On top of the fact she was dressed a bit juvenile, it almost looked like she was doing a potty dance. If it weren't for the fact she was employee, she'd be sure of it.
As Kurin got the keys from her purse and was just about to put them in the bathroom door, M07H3R came down the hall from the nursery. "Hello miss, are you going to be helping Sierra go potty? The little ones are all down for their afternoon nap."
"Helping her go potty?" Kurin blinked at her android. The keys were in the door and she looked from the android to Sierra and then back to the android. "Sierra said you locked the door. Is there a reason for that?"
M07H3R nodded. "Yes miss, I was following protocol. Sierra is wearing pull-ups after having an accident this morning. My instructions are to lock the door if there are no adults and only children in diapers or in the middle of potty training."
Kurin couldn't believe her ears. Her head snapped around to Sierra, and the potty dance made sense now. Without so much as a warning she flipped up the girl's skirt and right in front of M07H3R, she checked her pull-up. "Sierra!" The owner said in disbelief. "And she's wet!"
"It would appear so Miss," M07H3R nodded.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Sierra squirmed in place, desperate not to wet herself any further as she began to fret that Kurin wasn't going to unlock to door after all. She started to open her mouth, to reiterate that there was something wrong with the robot, so it didn't matter what it normally did or didn't do, but thankfully the woman began to look through her purse after all. Sierra bit her bottom lip as she fought to stay as still as she could while still keeping her bladder controlled. Just the fact that she knew she was in front of Kurin now helped a bit, but not nearly enough, and she knew she needed the other woman to find the key pretty quickly.
Unfortunately, right as she did so, Sierra heard M07H3R approach, and her stomach fell. She groaned inwardly, hoping that the robot would wait to say anything too embarrassing until she was safely in the bathroom, her eyes set on the keys now, watching them as Kurin slipped them into the lock, and then... stopped. It was only then that Sierra's ears caught up with her brain, and her cheeks began to flush as she realized M07H3R had just mentioned helping her use the potty, giving her barely enough time to react to that before telling Kurin about the pull-ups.
Sierra let out a small squeak, and then a much bigger one as her boss turned on her, and in one smooth motion lifted her dress and checked her like a toddler. Sierra flinched, cheeks growing even more red as she felt another gush of urine flow out of her as she stood there, training pants on full display. "I-It's not my fault!" she managed to say after a moment of sheer, shocked humiliation. "I didn't have an accident! The twins just spilled juice on me, and stupid M07H3R wouldn't believe me and put me in these things! And then she locked the bathroom door! It's not my fault!" She stomped her foot at the injustice, even if it wasn't entirely true, seeing as the locked door was hardly the only reason she was now having an accident, but she thought it was still justified. "And she took my cup, too, to make me drink out of a sippy cup like one of the kids!" Sierra wanted to mention that M07H3R had also forced her to drink out of that sippy in front of the kids, and the temperature taking, just to really make sure Kurin knew her robot was malfunctioning, but if she could avoid owning up to the fact that those things had happened, she was going to do so.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Kurin frowned and put her hands on her hips. "You keep saying it's not your fault. So does that mean it's not your fault that someone pee-peed in that pull-up you're wearing?" she asked as she could clearly see that her 'employee' was wearing a wet pull-up. "Because it felt quite a bit like it was warm and that you're the one who peed it. The door can't have been locked for that long."
"You are correct Miss. I locked the door only two hours ago, and I offered to take Sierra to the bathroom just before lunch started. She stated she did not need to go only... 20 minutes and 37 seconds ago," M07H3R added helpfully.
Kurin sighed and rubbed at the bridge of her nose with her forefinger and thumb. "And you're EMPLOYED to look after potty trainers. Really Sierra, do you know how silly it sounds that because you or one of the toddlers spilt a drink - you've gone through a day to arrive at wearing a used pull-up?"
Kurin unlocked the door to the bathroom, opening it. "M07H3R take Sierra to use the potty. We'll all talk after. I think I just need a glass of water to get over this," the owner said. She turned to walk away just as M07H3R came up to put a hand on Sierra's shoulder, keeping her from bolting off. "Well c'mon hun, lets get you on the potty and into some dry pants," she said in the same tone she'd use for the toddlers.
In the same efficiency she'd had earlier, she frog-marched Sierra into the bathroom, right to the plastic training potty and was tugging her wet pull-ups down without so much as a moment for Sierra to protest before she was seated. Her cell-phone was on the counter nearby, something that'd been placed there earlier when she'd been taken out of her wet clothes. She looked pretty silly sitting on a potty now with soaked pull-ups at her ankles... not to mention what Kurin would find in the kitchen that probably should have been cleaned up.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Sierra turned bright red as Kurin talked down to her, fidgeting uncomfortably in her now rather wet pull-up as she listened to the woman, then silently cursed M07H3R for her 'help'. It almost seemed impossible that it had only been twenty minutes since the last time the robot had asked her if she needed to go, since it had felt like so much longer, but she knew M07H3R would be far better at keeping track of time than her, especially when she had been without her phone, and obviously the robot had no need to lie, since Kurin was already on her side. That became even more clear as Kurin ordered M07H3R to take her to the bathroom, rather than letting her go on her own.
Sierra tried to protest, but Kurin was already leaving, on her way to the kitchen. She felt another spurt of pee flow into her trainers at the thought of the mess she'd left in there, so sure she'd have time to fix it up after a 'quick' trip to the bathroom. By now, she'd nearly emptied her bladder, much to her embarrassment, but she kept holding what was left out of sheer habit, though from the way her pull-up felt, she had no doubt that if she'd caught a potty trainer in it, she would tell their parents they had a full accident, rather than just a little one.
"I can do it myself," Sierra protested weakly, but she was still rather taken aback by the way Kurin had spoken to her, and by the time she even got it out, she had already been pushed onto the potty. Even more humiliating, almost as soon as her bottom hit the plastic seat, her control finally cracked, and she felt, and heard, the last of the urine begin to pour out of her. There wasn't much left, but after she'd been so resistant to using the thing the last time she'd been in here, just using it at all was a bit of a defeat, especially with the real toilet so close. And her wet pull-up, where most of the pee had ended up, even closer. It was then that she spotted her phone, and for a moment she felt a bit of hope rising in her chest, until she remembered that the person she was going to call was already there, and just how badly that had gone. She still planned on grabbing it, though, once she had washed her hands.
"Are you happy now?" she sniffed, standing, hoping that, now that M07H3R had shown her up in front of Kurin that her programming would go back to normal. "Can I have my panties back now?" She did her best not to think about how she would answer a question like that, if she were in her co-worker's position. That would be completely different, of course, because she would be talking to a toddler, not a grown woman. Unfortunately, from the way M07H3R had been talking to her that day, Sierra wasn't sure that the robot knew the difference.
---------------------------------------------------------------
M07H3R smiled and gave Sierra an affectionate pat on the head. "At least you got SOME pee-pee in the potty," she teased. The android was already taking out another pair of pull-ups as soon as her co-worker had finished. "You're clothing should be about dry, but given the daycare rules hun, you practically soaked that last pair of pull-ups. You're one accident away from needing to be wearing diapers the rest of the day," she warned.
Tugging Sierra forward a little bit, M07H3R took a baby wipe and began cleaning her, not thinking for some reason that Sierra could effectively do it on her own. It was as she was leaning forward, having her bottom wiped like a baby that Kurin returned and stood in the doorway just staring.
"M07H3R, the kitchen is a bit of a mess, is that really the standard we want to maintain here?" she asked with a bit of a frown. It was already awkward enough watching her android wipe one of her employee's who apparently wasn't old enough to do it herself.
"I was putting the four children down for her nap ma'am. Sierra was to clean the kitchen. I handled changing everyone's diapers so that she could." The android was already pulling out a new pair of pull-ups and holding them open for Sierra to step into. "Sierra, did you leave the kitchen dirty?" she asked in a voice that one might use for a naughty toddler, even as she was expecting the girl to put on her juvenile underwear.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Sierra grumbled at the robot's teasing praise, knowing that was the sort of thing that would be said to a toddler having a difficult time potty training. What M07H3R said next applied to that even more, bringing a blush to the girl's cheeks at the very thought. She wouldn't dare! Would she? Sierra's stomach began to tie itself in knots at the very thought of being put back into diapers yet again, and in front of all of the kids! If she was lucky, they wouldn't find out, but M07H3R had hardly been subtle about her trainers. Of course, all she had to do was not have another accident, which should have been simple, but she hadn't exactly expected to have that last one, either.
Of course, all of that also meant that she was going to be put into pull-ups again, rather than real panties. She had been expecting it, really, but she still couldn't help but pout at the thought, especially as M07H3R began to wipe her. "Stop it!" she whined, squirming against the robot's strong arms uselessly, trying to pull away. "I can do it! Just let me..." Her protests were quickly cut off as Kurin reappeared, replaced by humiliation at the thought of her boss seeing her there, half-naked, being taken care of like one of the children. Her embarrassment only got worse as she heard the woman speak, knowing after only a few words what was going to happen, though she maintained hope that maybe M07H3R would cover for her.
She didn't, of course. Sierra let out a small groan as her suspicions were confirmed and she saw the pull-up being prepared for her, while everyone waited for her to admit to shirking her duties. She didn't particularly want to do either, but she was pretty sure she wasn't going to have a choice either way. "Well... I-I did," she had to admit, though she kept her feet firmly planted on the floor as she did so, not moving any closer to the childish garment on the floor. "But I was going to take care of it! I was just going to do it after I went to the bathroom, and then M07H3R had the door locked, so what was I supposed to do?!" she pouted, glad she had managed to think of some way to make it M07H3R's fault. "And Kurin, tell her to get that pull-up away from me! I've had enough of this, I want my own clothes back!" She wanted to stomp her foot for emphasis, but had learned her lesson from last time, crossing her arms instead. "Tell her she's not allowed to treat me this way! I'm not a kid!"
---------------------------------------------------------------
"I'd have thought after having worked here long enough the answer would be pretty clear. Either you tell M07H3R the door is locked, or use the bathroom when she asks if you need too, or HOLD IT like a big girl," Kurin said. She was already tired of the girl's bickering and trying to blame everything on a machine, which from her perspective was following set rules and doing a wonderful job.
"You know what Sierra? To be honest I don't think she should stop. From the sounds of things you've been a causing problems all day. What type of precedence do we want to set for the little ones? If you argue and complain enough you can get out of anything? No, Sierra, I think as an employee you need an additional lesson in how the rules work around here. M07H3R, for the rest of the week treat Sierra as an enrolled member of the daycare. I'd still like her to assist as best she can, but all daycare rules are applicable to her. If she keeps throwing a fit, you can put her on temporary leave of her duties and just treat her as week long stay occupant. I'd like a progress report sent daily," The owner said, to the android, before turning back to her younger employee. "If you want to keep your job, behave, act like the BIG GIRL I expect you to be, and I'll personally give you a bonus of double your weekly salary."
M07H3R nodded as if this was set in stone, and once again held out the pull-up, advancing on Sierra.
---------------------------------------------------------------
"What?!" Sierra could hardly believe her ears as she listened to Kurin speak, wriggling in place as the woman went on. She couldn't possibly do this! Could she?! "This isn't fair!" she whined, wanting more than anything to kick the pull-up out of M07H3R's hands, but knowing that was a bad idea. She'd probably either get fired, or have it taken as her 'throwing a fit', which seemed like it would lead her to forfeiting all of her adult privileges while she was at work for the next week. She wasn't sure how many of those she was going to have anyway, but she certainly didn't want to have any less than she would already be allowed, and she really couldn't afford to be out of a job. The bonus would be nice, but it still didn't make up for what she'd have to go through to get it!
"I know how the rules work, I promise!" she told Kurin, still refusing to step into the awful training pants. "I'm just having a bad day! I'm not feeling well!" she nodded, though those words, her usual fall-back excuse, reminded her of how M07H3R had reacted to them earlier, making her squirm a little. "You don't have to do this! I'll do better, I swear! B-Besides, I don't think it sets a good example for the kids to see their caretaker being treated this way!" she blurted out, rather proud of herself for thinking of that. "Especially the twins! They should be potty training anyway, so they probably shouldn't be shown that it's okay for someone my age to still be in pull-ups! At least let me have my panties back!"
---------------------------------------------------------------
"I think its an appropriate lesson Sierra. If you have an accident, you'll take a step back. Not even caretakers are above the law here," she repeated, smirking a little. There was something a little fun about seeing her employee like this. M07H3R didn't seem to even think of her as such and leaned down, reaching forward to take one of Sierra's legs and start inserting it into the pull-up, taking her back a peg as she redressed the girl in front of her boss.
"The treatment won't set the real example Sierra. You will. Behave and by the rules which you say you know, you'll be fine. You'll be back in underwear in no time," Kurin said.
M07H3R was quick to add, "Once you are dressed, we're going to the potty chart once more."
---------------------------------------------------------------
Sierra pouted as Kurin saw through her plan in a matter of moments, leaving her sputtering as she tried to think of some other excuse to get herself out of this. She let out a squeak as M07H3R lifted her leg, nearly making her lose her balance until the robot steadied her. She whined, squirming as the robot began to get her into the pull-ups, sure now that there was no choice, since there wasn't much she could do to stop it now. She looked up at Kurin for assistance, but she clearly wasn't going to get any from the other woman.
"But I wanna be back in underwear now! I'm not a baby!" Sierra protested, stomping her foot, since it obviously didn't matter whether she kept her feet on the ground or not. She was quickly distracted by that as M07H3R spoke, however. "No, you can't put me on the potty chart!" she whined. "Everyone will see!"
It was bad enough being in these humiliating training pants, especially when M07H3R didn't seem to mind mentioning them in front of the kids. Having her progress displayed prominently was even worse, especially since she knew she had at least two strikes, neither of which ought to count, in her opinion. Parents often checked on that chart to see how their potty trainers were doing. What if they thought it weird that a supposedly new charge for the daycare just happened to have the same name as the human worker? Not to mention the kids themselves. Even if most of them couldn't read, they did quickly learn which line on the chart went to who, and were sure to wonder about a new one appearing.
"Kurin, come on!" she begged desperately. "You can't let her do this to me! I'll go clean the kitchen up right away, I swear! I was going to anyway! Just make her stop!" She stomped her feet again, feeling helpless, and more than a little cranky at just how horribly this day was going for her.
---------------------------------------------------------------
The stomping didn't help. Only in a shirt and a pull-up, Sierra looked like a toddler throwing a tantrum. "Your whining is only cementing my decision. I think this is exactly what you need Sierra," She said with a stern frown. She looked to her android. "M07H3R, I want a full report daily," she reminded her, not that she needed too.
Kurin turned and left after that, and a moment later the front door shut as Kurin locked it, leaving Sierra to her fate. M07H3R offered the girl the childish dress again, so she could at least put it over her t-shirt and not just run around in her pull-up. "I'll be in the rocking chair recharging hun," M07H3R said. "I expect you to finish what you should have done earlier in the kitchen."
M07H3R scooted Sierra out of the bathroom after that... the door locking behind her... "Remember, rules apply now, so ask me when you need to potty," she reminded the girl. Neither of them seemed to realize her phone was still in there. After the bathroom, the android went straight toward the front door and the chart on the wall there. She added Sierra as the newest line on it, and marked down her accidents for the day. Two out of three strikes already.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Sierra watched Kurin go with horror, hardly able to believe that this was all happening to her. She had hoped that she could make Kurin understand that M07H3R was malfunctioning, but the woman had just taken the robot's side, and now it was even worse! "B-But..." she called after her boss, but she was already gone, trapping her in the daycare with M07H3R. With a huff, she took the dress and quickly put it on, wanting her real clothes, but more concerned with not running around with her training pants fully exposed.
"Fine," she huffed, blushing at the idea of having to ask for permission to use the bathroom. It was even worse now that she knew for a fact that she actually had to! No amount of scheming was going to get her past the locked door. And, as she was reminded by M07H3R filling out a line for her on the potty chart, much to her dismay, there was only one strike to go before she wound up in full blown diapers, just like the actual children. If she were looking at the chart, not paying attention to the name attached to that line, she would just assume that kid was going to end up in diapers before the day was over. If a potty trainer had two accidents before naptime was even over, it was very unlikely they could make it the rest of the day without another one.
But they were kids, barely used to keeping their pants dry in the first place. She was an adult! Surely, she would fare better, wouldn't she? She knew she should feel confident, considering she hadn't had any real problems with this in the past, but as she stared up at the chart, she began squirming in place and self-consciously tugging at her dress. Her name on that chart and the crinkling padding beneath her short dress made it very hard to remember that she was a worker here, and not a new student already two-thirds of her way to diapers on her very first day.
"Maybe you should go work on cleaning up," M07H3R suggested, breaking Sierra out of her thoughts.
"I'm going!" Sierra blurted out, blushing slightly at thinking of the robot watching her stand there in the outfit it had put her in and fret. "I-I was just on my way!"
She tried to make the most dignified exit she could, but M07H3R interrupted it by hurrying her along with a pat to her padded backside, just like she'd give to any of the other children who were falling behind. It was a reminder that, no matter how Sierra saw her own chances of making it out of this predicament with her dignity somewhat intact, M07H3R had already been ordered to see her as just another child. Sierra shivered, sure that the robot was already mentally measuring her for her first diaper, just like Sierra would have with an actual toddler in her position. She had to find a way out of this, to prove she was still an adult! Or was it already too late? This couldn't be happening again!
