Part Six: The Part Where I Suspect Mom Might Remember What Happened
Mom slept in the next morning and didn't come down at all before I left for school. That had me worried. Had she awakened to find her snatch a gooey mess? Had she figured that there could only be one explanation? Had she not wanted to come downstairs out of anger towards me, or embarrassment? Or was I just making a big deal out of nothing, and she hadn't even noticed? Or had she just slept in and all the answer to all those questions were still in the future? And what about pregnancy?
I was distracted all day. When I got home from class, Mom wasn't home so I went into her bathroom and snooped around for any sign of birth control methods. To my relief, I found a container of birth control pills. That marked one of my worries off the list.
I went to my room, opened my laptop and decided to do a little research about somnambulism. I learned that there was a sub-category called sexsomnia, in which the sufferer acts out sexual fantasies, sometimes very aggressively and with far less inhibitions than they might have during their waking hours. There have only been about 100 verified cases since it was first identified in 1986.
One of the symptoms is the inability to remember it the next day, or the denial of it if it is remembered. I had blown that second part; how could she deny it if there was semen dripping out of her as proof? Another point was that a common symptom is the inability of the person to "come out of it" during the episode. As I was reading, I heard her car pull up out front followed by the front door of the house closing a minute later. I decided that I might as well go downstairs and face the music as soon as possible.
When I got downstairs, Mom looked tired and a little disheveled, which was not a good sign, as she was usually very put together. She was putting away groceries, and I noticed a bag from a local sex store on the counter with the grocery bags. I wondered how much her dreams were driving her waking behavior without her being aware of it.
"Hi, Mom," I started with as a neutral opener.
Mom looked over at me and replied, "Oh, hello, honey. I'm going to make a nice dinner for us tonight, and I stopped at the Red Box and got the new Wonder Woman movie."
"Great, Mom," I answered, thinking perhaps I had dodged the bullet. I decided to pry a little more. "I noticed that you weren't up this morning."
"Yeah," she replied. "I think I must have had a big episode last night." She looked over at me. "Did I see you last night?" That was a tricky question. I knew what the truth was, but didn't know how much of it I should reveal.
"Um, yeah, for a bit," I said, trying to be vague. That was a truthful answer to her question.
"Oh!" Mom said, covering her mouth with the palm of her hand, and her eyes going wide.
"I'm just confused. Nothing seems to be out of place in the house, but I know I've been sleepwalking." There was pain and confusion in her eyes. "I have some vague memories, but they're indistinct, just out of touch. They're troubling, though. Did I talk to you?" She glanced quickly at me, then looked away.
That was a question I could answer again truthfully. "Yes, but you didn't make much sense."
"Oh," she said again and looked away. "Well, I don't know..." and her voice trailed off.
I walked over and gave her a hug. "Mom, whatever it is, it's okay." I felt her relax in my embrace.
"Oh, thank goodness," she cried. "I've been so worried." I had no idea how much she remembered, or if we were talking about the same thing, but it seemed that all my worries were unfounded. If she did know, and if she had found my sperm in her, then she wasn't blaming me, she was blaming herself. Preparing a nice dinner for me was her way of making herself feel better.
I sensed that she didn't want to delve any deeper into the truth. "It's okay, Mom," I reassured her, and gave her another hug.
"Thank you," she said quietly, and hugged me back. As I held her my cock began to stiffen. It didn't help when she hugged me even tighter and cuddled into me, evidently feeling safe in my arms. I was confused about whether she knew what we had been doing in the middle of the night or not and I was feeling like I needed to pull away for fear that she would feel my rising cock against her leg. If she did know, then probably it was no big deal. But if she didn't, it would be really, really, inappropriate.
Deciding to err on the side of caution, I gave her one big squeeze, then pulled away. "Got to study, Mom, if I'm going to get into the U this Fall."
I studied for a while, then we had a nice dinner. She made one of my favorites, beef stroganoff over wide egg noodles with peas on the side. We finished up the leftover banana cream pie. The only odd part was whereas she had been looking at me when I wasn't looking at her before and would avert her gaze, I caught her looking at me surreptitiously five or six times over the course of the evening, but she didn't look away. She smiled lovingly at me when I met her gaze.
The movie was great, and I was safe in my bed by 10:30. I seriously doubted that we would have a third night in a row of sleepwalking. Guess I was wrong.
