24 year old belle has ***** up horrified she has wet the bed for the third time this week. She has had enough of this embarrassment and phones the clinic for an appointment.

when in the waiting room she spurns the magazines and takes more than normal interest in the play pen and kids toys that have been placed there for mommies to place their babies.

nurse bridget asks belle if she has had any odd behaviour and she admits to sucking her thumb and eating tinned baby food.

bridget has not come across these symptoms before but insists she diaper belle to at least prevent any embarrassing day time accidents.

the nurse bridget leaves to consult her colleagues and returns with the theory that belle is regressing and for the benefit of her mental health she should not resist.

belle is horrified at the thought but her nurse is insistent that she should be babied and treated like a baby at the clinic even if that means sitting in the play pen in front of everyone else in the waiting room.

after initiating belle to all things babyish, such as having her diaper changed, eating in a high chair and being breast fed she leaves belle for an afternoon nap ion the play pen.

back in her office she receives an email from a colleague to say that poor belle's regression condition is permanent.
