Mrs. Asken's Dilemma: Tom comes home
"I don't quite know what to tell you Mrs. Asken," Dr. Hamilton conceded, "I can't find a anything that would explain it. No head trauma, nothing neurological that we can find. Tom is just dehydrated and exhausted."
Janet Asken looked at Dr. Hamilton with pleading eyes. Her son Tom had been rescued from a wilderness trek in Alaska and was on the verge of death when they finally reached him. He got separated from his friends and wandered 23 miles in the wrong direction. His survival skills saved him, but at considerable cost.
When she got him home from the hospital, Tom would lapse in and out of consciousness, frightening her at times. Dr. Hamilton reassured her that Tom was just going to need a lot of care and a lot of rest, but nothing otherwise was wrong.
She was so happy to have Tom home again. After leaving for college, she only saw him on school breaks. The winter trek robbed her of an extended time with him. But the trauma of the ordeal and the need to recuperate guaranteed her at least an entire semester of nursing Tom back to health.
"So, you're saying that even though he is sleeping a lot and seems not to be aware of his surroundings, he is okay?" She asked flatly.
"That's what I'm saying," Dr. Hamilton reassured. "He's alert when he is awake isn't he? And he has a healthy appetite. And he, by your accounts, is getting stronger each day. Isn't all that true?"
"Yes, I suppose it is. I just want to be sure he is going to be okay." Mrs. Asken looked down. She was embarrassed at what she was going to ask next.
"And the erections? Are those normal too?" She drew a deep breath. She had noticed a tent beneath the sheets several times as she watched Tom sleeping. Being too modest to look, she did not pull back the covers, letting her son have his privacy, even though he would not have awoken if she had peeked.
"Yes, Mrs. Asken. Completely normal. All men get erections at times during their sleep cycle. Very often in the morning, when they have to urinate. Guys call them piss-hard-ons."
Janet looked down, blushing. She was not naΓ―ve. She had been married and had a son, after all. It was just that she was not as used to such frankness. "Yes, I know about that," she said softly.
"The best thing you can do is to stop worrying and start observing. Just watch him and enjoy his regaining his health. You are really blessed, Mrs. Asken. Tom's been through a lot. So, let his body teach you what it needs. You'll know what to do. Just relax and do whatever his body is suggesting it needs. You'll know whether it's chicken soup or ice cream when the time comes." Dr. Hamilton stood from his chair and extended his hand. Janet got the message and shook his hand then turned to leave.
"Thank you, Dr. Hamilton. It's good advice. I guess I have been so worried, that I over-reacted. You have really helped me today. Yes, I'll just let nature take its course. That's just what I'll do."
As she drove home, Janet's mind cleared. She didn't need to worry any more. Tom was going to be all right. She only had to be his nurse and she had several months to dote on him. What could be better?
She crept upstairs and peeked in him Tom's room. He lay on his back sleeping, the sheet pulled only up to his chest. His strong shoulders seemed so thin now. But he would soon regain his strength and bulk. Janet stepped into his room calling softly, "Tom? Are you awake, dear?"
"Hmm? Oh is that you, Mom? Yes, I was just having a dream. About you actually. It was really nice. I am glad you're here. I have been meaning to thank you for all you are doing for me. I am sorry to be such a slug."
"Oh, sweetheart, I am just so happy to have you back here alive. I was so scared. And now Dr. Hamilton tells me you are going to be all right. I just need to be a good nurse and to let your body tell me what it needs. 'Chicken soup or ice cream.'" She smiled at him and crossed the room to sit on the edge of the bed.
"Can I get you anything, sweetheart?" She asked.
"Well, Mom, I hate to ask you, but could you get the urinal for me. I have to pee pretty bad. I am just so exhausted, I can't get out of bed." Tom looked drained and not the least self-conscious about asking his mother for the urinal. Perhaps he had already given up his privacy from the two weeks in the hospital with nurses and doctors poking and examining him every hour of the day.
"Sure, sweetheart. Here it is. Would you like me to go out while you use it?"
"No, Mom. You can stay here. In fact, I am going to need a little help. Could you roll me to my side? I think I can manage if you sort of prop me up a little on my side." Tom asked without looking at her.
She slid down on the bed a little farther down toward his knees. As Tom tried to roll over, his mother pulled on his hips and helped him shift his weight. She moved her hand farther back until she was cupping his ass cheek, his hip fitting in the shallow of her inner wrist. Her fingers just reached his ass crack. As she balanced him, her fingers gently touched his cleft.
"This isn't going to work. I have to pull the sheet down and take my pajamas off." Tom sighed. Just the rolling over took it out of him. "Could you help?"
Janet smiled sweetly at her helpless boy and gently lay him on his back again. Then she pulled the sheet off him and reached for his pajamas. His hips stuck out sharply and his belly was sunk in. Hooking her fingers in the waist of his pajamas, she tugged them down.
She expected to see his pubic hair, but was surprised that he was shaved. Then his cock came into view. It was half-firm and lay against his skin. His ball sack was relaxed and his balls were clearly visible beneath the skin. Janet. Inhaled sharply at the sight of her son's manhood. Trying to maintain her composure, she continued to pull his drawers off.
"Go ahead and pull them all the way down, Mom. I won't need them. Thanks." He was too tired to care that he was fully exposed to his mother's view.
"Okay, now what?" She asked. "Tom? Tom? Honey" A frisson of fear caught her.
"Oh, sorry. I just fell asleep again. It's like that all the time. And I had a dream about your again. Roll me over again, Mom. I really have to go."
Janet pulled him over and held his ass as she had before. This time, her hand moved farther across his ass and her fingers cupped his cheek, the tips reaching down into his crack. Tom's cock slipped down, but he was not helping to direct it to the urinal.
