Jessica's Birthday
By Dr. Discipline
Thursday August 24, 2778
Jessica and I walked slowly through our local mall, on our way to Discipline Zone. We had an appointment there for this morning while mom had some things to do in the mall. Also, Jessica was celebrating her birthday today.
Because Jessica's birthday fell during the summer we had to go to Discipline Zone for her traditional birthday punishments. If her birthday was during the school year then she would have been punished there. We arrived at DZ promptly at 11:00 when we were supposed to.
Jessica got the customary spanking from the supervisor at DZ, on her bare bottom with a nasty paddle. Jessica squealed and bucked as her bottom was quickly reddened.
During the games I tried to lose as much as I could to her so that she wouldn't get punished to the maximum extent possible. I was only partially successful because I had to compete against everyone else there to help Jessica.
After Jessica had received several spankings at DZ and after mom was done her shopping we went home. It was time for a short afternoon nap while mom made the party preparations.
Finally it was time for the party. We had some games and stuff and generally had some fun. I wasn't feeling 100% but I shook it off and acted like nothing was wrong. Mom asked me once if I was okay because she said I looked pale. I told her I was fine.
However I was wrong. When it was my turn at 'pin the paddle on Jessica' mom blindfolded me and spun me around a few times. I got very dizzy and fell down on my side, dropping my paper paddle. Mom came rushing over to me and picked me up as I took the blindfold off.
"Are you okay?" she asked me.
I told mom that I was feeling dizzy and I was sore all over. Mom announced that I was done with the party and that I would be put to bed. She carried me up the stairs and tucked me into my bed. I could still hear Jessica's party going on. I heard one of her penitatas guests win the game and spank her with the brush.
That evening mom brought my dinner up to me and I ate while sitting up in my bed. I ate as much as I could, which wasn't very much. Mom tucked me in again and I fell asleep with the room spinning around me.

The next morning I was no better and was actually getting worse. It hurt to move in even the slightest and I got dizzy just sitting up or even moving my eyes. Mom told me to stay in bed and not to move at all. She fed me breakfast cereal in bed.
Shortly after breakfast I threw up my cereal. Mom cleaned me up and tucked me in to bed for the rest of the morning. I spent most of the morning drifting in and out of sleep, and in violent fits of coughing.
When I got up and mom was sitting next to me in a chair she'd brought from the kitchen. She noticed me awake she brought some soup and a baby monitor from downstairs. Mom set up the monitor on the table next to my bed.
Mom sat on the edge of the bed and spoon-fed me some chicken noodle soup. Mary came in and up to my room and asked mom what she wanted.
"Mary, would you please go to the store and get Seth some cough medicine?"
"Aww mom. I'm tired. I just got in from outside." Mary had an irritating whine in her voice.
"Mary, your brother is sick. Will you please help out?"
"He's not my brother, he's just a penny brat."
Mom's knuckles went white on the spoon, her lips were pressed together and her eyes narrowed to small slits. It looked a bit like mom was shaking.
Mom continued talking in a voice I'd never heard before. It was very cold, and I could hear the anger in it. "Well Mary, since you're too tired to get Seth some medicine, I guess your too tired to go with your friends this afternoon. So, I want you to go to your room and remain there until I tell you to move. Is that clear young lady?"
Mary stomped off to her bedroom and slammed the door. Mom continued spoon feeding me the soup. When it was finished, she tucked me into the bed and turned on the monitor beside my bed. She blew into the unit to make sure it was working properly.
"If you need anything, just ask and I'll come and help you, okay?"
I used all my strength to muster a smile. I don't think I got it quite right. "Okay mom."
Another violent coughing fit hit me. Mom held me and helped me through it. When it finally passed mom gave me a sip of water and readjusted the sheets on the bed from where I'd moved during my coughing.
"Now, I want you to get some sleep mister." Mom gave me a kiss and left the room, closing the door behind her. As I was getting more comfortable I could hear some yelling and the unmistakable sound of a spanking in progress. I knew from experience what it sounded like when Jessica got spanked. This wasn't it.
I lay in my bed for quite a while, unable to get comfortable enough to sleep. I started coughing again and vomited my soup all over my sheets. I started crying and continued coughing. Mom came into the room, cleaned me up and changed the sheets yet again.
Mom gave me another drink and produced a bottle of cough syrup. "You can thank Jessica for getting you the cherry flavoured stuff. I had to send her to the store because Mary is too busy sitting in the corner."
"Thank-you Jessica." I said softly. She was standing in the doorway and flashed me a thumbs-up from behind mom's back. Mom gave me two spoonfuls of the medicine and it did taste quite good. Mom again had me lay down and tucked me in tightly.
"Jessica, please sit with Seth for a minute while I find the portable delta inducer."
"No problem mom" Jessica replied.
Jessica sat on the bed next to me. "You look pretty bad."
"I feel like I've been stomped on by a brontosaurus. By the way, thanks for the good stuff."
Jessica smiled at me. "It's my pleasure. Mom was a little upset because I was supposed to get the penitatas formula, but I uh, accidentally got the wrong one. I think she said something about spanking me later for it."
When Jessica said 'accidentally' she made a quotation mark gesture with her fingers. I knew it was no accident that I got the good stuff. I used the last of my strength to put my arms up and gave Jessica a hug and whispered another thank-you in her ear.
Mom returned at that point with a portable delta inducer. She fastened the device to the headboard of my bed and asked if I needed anything before she activated it.
"No" I told her. "I'm fine."
Mom gave me a gentle kiss and triggered the inducer. I instantly fell asleep.

The next time I opened my eyes, mom and Lori were standing above me.
"It's time to take you to the doctor's Seth" mom said.
Mom bent down and lifted me out of my bed, blanket and all. She wrapped the blanket around me and carried me down the stairs. Lori opened and closed doors and helped mom strap me into my car seat. Lori sat next to me and held my hand and stroked my hair during the ride.
At the doctor's office, mom carried me inside and sat with me on her lap waiting for our turn to see the doctor. Mary and Jessica had come along and apparently also had appointments to see the doctor. Mary sat next to mom and Lori sat on mom's other side. Jessica was allowed to play with some of the toys in the waiting area.
Lori stayed in the waiting room when we were called into the doctor's office. The four of us waited less than a minute before the doctor showed up. When he entered the room he pointed to Mary and mom nodded.
"Mary, will you please get undressed and sit on the exam table?" the doctor asked.
"Uhh, I'm not a penitatas sir. You're just supposed to scan me" Mary replied. She held up her hand to show the doctor the letter emblazoned there.
"I know what you are, and I know what to do. Follow my instruction so I can examine you."
Jessica and I looked at each other and exchanged confused glances. Mom stood up and put me in the seat she just vacated. She moved towards Mary and started to undress her. Mary pulled away from mom and practically started shouting at her that she wasn't supposed to be treated this way.
Mom and the doctor quickly cornered Mary and removed her clothes so fast that I'd have missed it if I were to blink. The doctor hoisted Mary onto the table, face down. He raised his palm and started to spank Mary's bare bottom. Mary was screaming and trying to get away from the smacks.
After the doctor had spanked Mary for a solid five minutes, mom asked him to step aside. I saw the mother's helper paddle in her hand. Mary hardly had time to catch her breath when mom started cracking the paddle down on the 11-year-old's bare and red behind.
"You will learn to follow instructions missy, IS THAT CLEAR?"
Mary howled affirmative and renewed her struggles to escape her chastisement. Mom paddled Mary for another five minutes before finally stopping. Mary was completely spent and simply lay on the exam table, naked and sobbing.
The doctor took a rectal thermometer and inserted it into Mary's bottom. Either Mary didn't notice or she didn't care because she had no reaction. The doctor removed the thermometer after the required time and looked at the results.
Mary's exam continued with the doctor feeling her neck and other parts of her body. Her peered into her throat and checked her ears and eyes. Mary simply sat on the table, a broken and contrite girl. The doctor announced her exam was over and ordered her to stand in the corner.
Mary obeyed, running to the corner of the office nearest the door. She stood there and cried. Her bottom was quite red and I could tell that it was sore from the way she walked and stood. When she went to reach back and rub her bottom, mom yelled at her to put her hands on her head.
The doctor then called Jessica to the table for her exam. Jessica removed her clothes when she was told to do so. She climbed up on the table with some help from the doctor and sat there quietly. I could see that Jessica's bottom was still red from her birthday spankings, evidently she didn't get nano-lotion.
"It looks like someone has been a naughty girl" the doctor observed when he saw Jessica's red bottom.
"She just had her birthday" mom supplied.
The doctor smiled. "Are you going to be a good girl for me?" the doctor asked.
Jessica nodded in reply.
The doctor examined Jessica without incident. She lay on her tummy and allowed her temperature to be taken without a fuss. The doctor felt the glands in her neck and used a tongue depressor to look down her throat.
"She's healthy" he proclaimed.
Now it was my turn. The doctor picked me up and placed me on the exam table. He passed the scanner over my body for a moment. I was surprised that I wasn't treated like a penitatas patient. It was like Mary and I traded places!
After the doctor finished his scan he looked at the results and then began feeling my neck, chest, arms and legs. He asked me a bunch of questions, what my arms and legs felt like, if I had trouble breathing and so on. Finally, after about 10 questions he patted me on the back and told me that my exam was over.
"He has a severe case of Relnoid flu" he told mom.
"Relnoid? I thought Humans were immune to that" mom said.
"Yes, most Humans are. However the scan indicates that the gene that controls the immunity is dormant in Seth's system. The problem can be corrected through rejuve rather easily. I'll note it in his file and the medical board will decide whether or not to correct the gene on his next cycle."
"What do we do for the time being?"
"I'll write a prescription to take care of the infection. It will take about a week for his system to fully recover. Keep giving him a cough suppressant and painkillers for as long as necessary. Also, I'm issuing a no spanking order for him for that time. Keep him in bed and feed him lots of liquids. No heavy foods for him either. Soups and other light snacks several times a day or whenever he gets hungry will suffice."
"Thank-you doctor. What about the girls?"
"They're both healthy. It appears that they are both immune to Relnoid and are in no danger."
Mom and the doctor wound up their conversation and we left the doctor's office, again with mom carrying me the entire time. Mom strapped me into my seat and we drove to a pharmacy. Mom had Lori wait in the car with Mary, Jessica and I while she went in to get the prescription filled.
After the pharmacy we went home. Mom carried me into my bedroom and tucked me into my bed. She had Lori get a spoon and fed me the first dose of my medicine. It tasted gross, as all penitatas medicine does. Mom gave me a drink of juice to try and wash the taste out of my mouth.
"Mom, why did the doctor just scan me and not Mary?"
"Because I asked him to. I didn't like Mary's behaviour this morning and I decided to punish her further for it. And her behaviour at the doctors has earned her another spanking later. I really don't know what's got into that girl. I think her voluntaras status has gone to her head."
"Oh. Mommy, can I have a sandwich, I'm hungry."
"Of course, just give me a few minutes."
Mom left and returned a few minutes later. I ate my sandwich and lay down for the evening. The cough medicine was working well, I hadn't coughed since leaving for the doctors. Mom gave me my final kiss and hug and left the room with Lori.
***
The next few days were a blur of eating, being sick, bathing and sleeping. Jessica was allowed to play with me in a very limited fashion. I also did some reading and colouring in my bed. I was steadily getting better and stronger the whole time.
Finally a week had passed and mom took me back to the doctor's for a follow-up. He gave me the penitatas regime and declared me healthy. Mom took me home and spanked me hard on the bare bottom with my own spanking paddle before giving me lunch and putting me down for my afternoon nap.
