Dad - Chapter 3 -
Matthew 13.8
- Iss 1x
a) Nightmare
Mum smelt Rose on me as soon as I got close to her.
She looked a little sadder, but said that Rose wasn't a bad person, and could even improve my life.
I couldn't say anything to that, but I felt like I had betrayed Mum - in some way. But I still looked forward to Rose being actually able to improving my life.

The scream woke me, my heart thumping, and confused about where I was. The 'where' was my bedroom. As for 'Who' - I thought it had to have been Mum. I left my bed; and stood outside Mum's bedroom.
Funny - that - really! Even before Dad... left us ... to me it was always 'Mum's room'. Even though Dad always slept there. Apart from family holidays - ALWAYS.
I could hear Mum... calling for Dad, and her voice was panicky and breathless. I opened the door, and hesitantly peered in. I could just about see her, illuminated weakly through the curtain by the street light outside.
She was in constant motion, which had caused the top sheet and bedding to be 'kicked' off her onto the floor. Her head was continually moving around, as if looking for something, and her arms were alternately waving slowly around in the air; or gripping the under-sheet.
She continued to call for Dad, and would sob when he didn't reply, prompting her to choke, and plead for him to answer her.
"Mum!"
I crept closer to the bed.
"
Mum
!"
I wanted to wake her. To break the cycle of dream (she already lived the nightmare, when awake, in real-life!)
I reached the bed. "Mum! Wake up! You're dreaming!"
"Teddy?"
"No Mum! It's Andy?"
"Andrew? Where's your father? I can't find him. And I've called and called, and he won't answer me. He was supposed to be back from that hospital hours ago!"
Dad had lasted barely six weeks from the cancer diagnosis, and for nearly a third of that he had been in a coma. That hospital thing seemed to have been built into her dream.
"Where are you?"
"I'm here Mum!"
"Oh Teddy! Where have you been? I've been searching for you for days! Where have you been?"
"No, it's OK now. Wake up."
"Oh Teddy! I've missed you so much."
And while still in the clutch of the dream/reality blend, she reached for my hand, and pulled me to her.
I sat on the side of the bed, turned slightly to my right, as she gripped my right hand.
"Mum! Wake up. You are dreaming."
She giggled. "Don't be silly Teddy! Why have you started calling me 'Mum'? If you think that I'm going to start calling you 'Dad', the way your mother calls your father 'Dad' - you've got another think coming!"
"Oh Mum!"
"Shush Teddy! Stop this nonsense now; and get into bed. We've both got a busy day tomorrow with Andrew's birthday party."
I was lost. She was lost - in her memories, fears, and fantasies.
She kept tugging the hand that she was holding, pulling me onto the bed. As I moved with her, she started rolling away from me, onto her left side, and I continued until I was, basically, spooned in behind her, with my arm over her.
"What did you do with the bed-clothes Teddy? I'm cold. Put them back on the bed!"
"Mum!"
"I told you to stop that! Just put the bedding back over us, so we can sleep."
I gave up - and joined her dream. It wasn't ideal, by any means, but if it allowed her to sleep, or at least to rest, then I expected that to be to her advantage.
"OK, give me a moment."
She just "Hmphed"
I got off the bed, sort of toss-flapped the sheet out so that the 'far edge' flipped out over the bed, then settled gently. Then I just spread the duvet across the bed; and slid under them both.
"Thank you, Teddy."
And she kissed me on the lips, took hold of my right wrist as she snuggled in, pulling me in behind her; shuffled her shoulders, sighed me a 'Good-night', and pulled my right hand up under her pyjama top, and squeezed it round her left breast, before rubbing her nipple with it, 'Mmm'd'; shuffled her shoulders again, sighed in contentment; squeezed her breast with my hand again, and started to snore.
And she went so deep, in only a few seconds, that my erection, as it poked against the cheeks of her bum, didn't disturb her.
Mind you, it disturbed the hell out of me!
As carefully as I could, I backed my hips away from her, then I tried to slide my hand out. But all that did was to stimulate her nipple, which, even in her sleep, caused her to grip my hand harder, and push it harder against her breast.
I kept trying to remove my hand. The thought of the emotional pain it would cause her if she awoke to find her son in bed with her; and, it could seem, feeling-her-up while she was asleep, was enough to give
me
nightmares.
I don't know how long I tried to get away, but in the end, I sort of surrendered. I just decided that it would be best to play the waiting game, and not disturb her now. She was already emotionally disturbed enough because of Dad's death.
So, I just relaxed; well, most of me did. And, at some point, I drifted off to sleep.
*
I was nudged rudely awake, to feel that my cock was uncomfortable, and some female voice was moaning at me for something. Once again, it took me a few seconds to get my head together.
But when I did: -
"Come on Teddy! I know you've been with her again, I smelt her on you. And you know our agreement - I get two orgasms for every visit. And 'Yes', I do still believe that you love me, but an agreement is an agreement!"
