"Please Mommy! Not the belt!"
It is always amusing for me to hear how quickly I go from being Jeremy's "Mom" to "Mommy" when my belt is in play. It's as if he regresses into that toddler stage in an instant.
Sadly I don't have any insights on how my Remy's toddler stage was as I'd have been in his current position at the time, getting my ass blistered by my Daddy - erm Dad...Guess even I'm not immune from baby girl syndrome when faced with a parental belt or cane! And I'm a grown woman raising a teenager as a single mom right now!
My name is Sabrina and I'm currently at least over thirty eight- though no one would think that as my ageing stopped when I reached around Jeremy's age. Everyone outside the community who knows me thinks I'm nineteen, many mistaking Remy for my little brother and not son.
He's not my biological boy of course. Jeremy and the three other boys were adopted by me and my three besties just about six months ago. It was our way of giving back to the community- the four of us girls were literal child soldiers, terrorists from our old home nation. Lab experiments given treatments to slow ageing so we could infiltrate the country and figure out its secrets. At the end of the war, we were captured by the army in isolation wards before being taken in by three kind folk at Robert's Bay. .
It required many years of patience, love and regular punitive trips across our Daddy's and Mommy's laps that we managed to assimilate into this intense but loving community. So when another batch of boys raised under our old command got captured, the four of us volunteered to raise them in the same way we were, to give them all the love and discipline they need.
I'd imagine Remy would've been very cute back when he was little. He's still extremely cute, the cutest of his merry band of mischief makers as far as I'm concerned though I'm sure their moms would consider their boy as the cutest. It's tough to gauge objectively, all four of them are utterly adorable little hellions who keep our arms worn out. They have thankfully assimilated much faster than us, their lack of a childhood getting them to behave a few years younger than regular eighteen year old boys.
Like, for instance, being utterly petrified of their Mommy's belt.
"And why not, hmm? Why shouldn't I give you the belt?" I stand my ground. His offense wasn't a major one- he just talked back to his teacher but Remy has been getting very lippy as of late. Remy dislikes the belt the most because it's what I use the most to spank him. It leaves nice welts for the whole day and the boys aren't allowed to wear clothes after their spankings as a general rule throughout Robert's Bay.
It wasn't uncommon to see other boys and girls their age naked, sporting red striped butts but Jeremy and the other trio are famous throughout the town just like we used to be, so there would be a lot more finger pointing and teasing.
"Because I was planning to go over to Jimmy's place later. I'm not going over there if I have to be naked! Aunty Emy would be wearing something skimpy and she's just like you but way way worse. She's gonna start making fun of me if I get..like stiff." He gave the most adorable pout, the one which I still have yet to master not kissing him for.
Emily, Serena and Amanda aren't my real sisters just as Jeremy, James, Peter and Rory aren't real brothers or cousins. But the boys call the other moms as aunts anyway as we are all best friends and we treat all the boys like family.
"Would you prefer I deal with this at bedtime?" I offered with a smile.
"Yes please!" He nodded. "That'd be helpful."
"Fine. But I will use the belt. There won't be any sweet talking your way out of it then." I put my belt back on. There was a meeting at the town centre so I was dressed more formally than normal with a blue shirt and pants. Remy in contrast had his red superhero Tees and yellow shorts on.
"Then? So may I try sweet talking my way out of it now?" He asked cheekily.
"You can try," I reply, walking over to the couch and plopping down as I extended my arms if he wanted to cuddle. And Remy walked, practically jumped into my arms as I peppered his face with wet little kisses.
"Eeww! Mom! You got lipstick on!" He complained.
