Friday night was awkward in the Higgins house. Earlier that day, Sam's mom, Joyce, had put Sam's thing inside her again. She'd sworn she wasn't going to do that. She looked at her Husband, Paul, sitting across the dinner table, and felt her cheeks flush with guilt.
Sam and his older sister, Bex, seemed to be having a hard time too. Joyce had overheard them having a fight shortly after Bex got home. They were upstairs and Bex had yelled at Sam, "I don't care. It'll never happen again. Got it?" And she'd slammed a door. Now, they weren't making any eye contact and they both glumly poked at their food. Joyce thought it better not to intervene. Let them sort it out.
Paul was oblivious to it all. He regaled them with tales from poker nights past. Tomorrow was his monthly poker night with the guys, and he was excited. Joyce smiled and nodded at his stories.
Bex interrupted her father. "I need to get out of the house this weekend. I'm going to spend tonight and tomorrow night at Sarah's."
"That's fine, honey." Joyce tried her best warm smile, but it wasn't as bright as usual. "How about you, Sam? Are you getting out of the house this weekend?"
"Well, actually." Sam looked up from his plate of food. "I have a date tonight. Can I stay out late?"
That broadened Joyce's smile.
"That's great, sport. Who's the lucky girl?" Paul said between mouthfuls.
"Ashley. She's in my class." Sam poked around his food again.
Bex rolled her eyes at Sam.
"Well, your mother and I want you home by eleven." Paul winked at Joyce. He was such a dummy sometimes.
"Thanks, dad," Sam said. "That'll be great."
"Have fun you kids." Paul smiled at his family.
Joyce's smile faded. She had faith in Sam, but he really needed to make it work with this girl. She thought about might happen if he didn't. She fought off the frown that tried to form.
Both kids pushed off from the table and carried their plates into the kitchen. "I guess that means dinner's over," Joyce said. "Have fun you two."
The kids grumbled back their affirmation. Paul kept on happily eating his chicken.

The next day, Sam spent the morning at the library studying. He stopped by a friend's house for some video games and got home in the late afternoon. He wandered around the house, but couldn't find anyone. He walked out into the back garden and found Joyce pruning the flowers. "Hi, mom."
"Hi, honey." Joyce looked up, she was on her knees in the flower bed, pruners in hand. "Have a good day?"
"Yeah." Sam walked over to where she was working and leaned on the old wood fence.
"How was last night?" Joyce stood up. Her jeans were covered in dirt. Sweat stained her Harvard t-shirt. She wiped off her brow with the back of her hand. Her hair frizzed in the humidity and was generally a mess. To Sam, she was the most beautiful woman in the world. He took in the outline of her bra straps and the swell of her boobs that her frumpy t-shirt couldn't hide.
"It went well." Sam offered a sheepish smile. Should he be guilty telling his mom about a date? "I took it real slow. But she laughed at my jokes and she was fun to talk to. I think she'll want to see me again."
"That's great, Sammy." Joyce lowered her voice so the neighbors wouldn't hear. "How slow did you take it?" A positive date was a good start, but she needed more than that. She needed to stop helping her son with his thing. She needed things to go back to normal.
"Slow." Sam shrugged. "I gave her a goodnight kiss." He lowered his voice too. "She seemed to like it."
"Okay, honey. Well, that's a start." Joyce brushed off her jeans. She was filthy.
"Where's dad?" Sam offered the phrase with complete nonchalance.
"Well." Joyce's eyes narrowed at her son. "He left early for his poker game."
"And Bex?"
"She's still at Sarah's." She shook her head. "I see where you're going with this. Weekend rules apply, young man. I'm going to go take a shower and make us some dinner. I won't help you with your thing on the weekends."
"But I could really use some help." Sam straightened and picked up the basket of flower clippings. Eager to help in any way. "My penis hurts, and I did good with Ashley, right?"
"Shhhhh." Joyce stepped over to Sam and dropped the shears in the basket. "You cannot talk about this where someone might hear you," she whispered. She looked around the fence line.
"Come on, mom." Sam nodded toward the house. "Please?"
Joyce put her hands on her hips. She looked him up and down and sighed. "Fine. But first I need a shower." She turned and walked toward the house.
"I don't care about that." Sam followed her. Clutching tightly to the basket. His eyes fixed themselves on her round butt.
"Listen to my words." Joyce said over her shoulder.
"Yes, mom." Sam followed her inside and into the laundry room.
Joyce unbuttoned her jeans and started to shimmy out of them. Once they were about halfway she looked up to the doorway.
Sam stood, the basket still in his hands, jaw hanging open.
"Give me some privacy, Sammy."
"Okay, mom." Sam didn't move.
"I mean it, Sam Higgins. Only your father sees me naked." She furrowed her brow. Her deep, brown eyes fierce. She was still bent over, hands on the waistband of her jeans midway down her legs.
"Okay mom." Sam didn't move.
"Sammy, you can't keep pushing me like this." She pulled the dirty jeans the rest of the way off and tossed them into the hamper. She straightened and looked at her son. His mouth agape. His bulge more than obvious in his pants. She shook her head. "What am I going to do with you, Sammy?" She reached down and pulled off her shirt and tossed it in the hamper.
"You're so beautiful, mom." Sam couldn't believe his luck. There were so many soft curves to look at that Sam didn't know where his gaze should go. Her boobs, her hips, her tummy. All perfect.
"Thank you, sweetie." Joyce looked down at the checkered linoleum floor. Was she really doing this? "Really, I'm dirty. Go wait in your room."
Sam nodded but didn't move.
