Lori and Erica got back from school having shit themselves in the car on the return trip. They had to tell Nora the story and cleaned up shortly afterwards. Nora thought it was quite daring to stage a hold during a final exam, as even she hadn't done that.
The girls had no immediate plans for the summer, but had considered going to the beach a couple hours away for a weekend trip, and had considered inviting Nora for a ladies weekend. After a couple days just relaxing, they decided they'd like to take advantage of their summer and a beach weekend was absolutely in the cards. The girls talked with Nora one day over breakfast, and Tom happened to be at the table, not having left for work yet. When he heard the plan, he offered solid encouragement for it, saying it would be a great opportunity for the three of them to connect, and gave Nora a wink, which Lori caught, but couldn't figure out at first. Was there something she'd missed? Her parents seemed much closer than when she'd last seen them. She'd have to keep an eye out, and maybe ask her mom later. She couldn't help but feel like something had changed, and she needed answers.
The girls talked more throughout the morning, and started coming up with a plan for the beach weekend. Nora got a text from Tom later telling her to pick a weekend and he would pay for their hotel room, which Nora thought was awfully sweet, and Lori agreed when Nora mentioned it. There was definitely something different there. Now she really had to ask.
As they sat down to lunch, Lori decided she couldn't keep her thoughts to herself any longer. "Mom," she said cautiously, "can I ask you something?"
"Yes sweetie, what is it?" Nora already knew what Lori was going to ask, as her intuition was strong when it came to Lori.
"Is it just me," Lori asked, "or are you and dad a bit closer than last time we were here?"
"You're not wrong, honey. We are closer."
"Can I ask why?"
"Well," Nora said, "funny story. Short version? He somehow discovered my secret completely on his own!"
"Seriously," Lori said, "and what did he say??"
"Honestly," Nora said, "I'd been holding five days, and suddenly he wasn't leaving for work. I was going to have an accident once he left, and I suddenly couldn't get any time away from him. I got out of the shower, barely holding my bladder and bowels, and he cornered me in the bathroom. I thought our marriage was over. But he came to terms with it on his own, he said, and said he'd love me no matter what. He then asked me to walk him through my entire holding history, and I wasn't allowed to use the bathroom until I told him all of it."
"Holy shit," Lori said, "that's incredible! And did you make it??"
"Hell no," Nora said with a hearty laugh, "I totally flooded and shit my panties right in front of him. Then... well... I won't say the rest." She winked and Lori rolled her eyes.
Erica looked at Lori, and they both shrugged, and Erica said, "I'm glad it made you closer! You two are a great example for us!"
"Agreed," Lori said, "you two seem happy, and it makes me happy. But the thought of you two having sex is still gross."
The girls and Nora continued the planning for their beach weekend, and Lori asked if they should plan to hold it in time for the drive out to the hotel. The other two agreed, thinking that would make it a lot more fun. They could get desperate leading to the drive, then barely make it to the hotel room before they had to use a bathroom immediately.
As the trip approached, the three picked out some good swimsuits, summer clothing, and started packing early so they'd have less to do the night before. They also started holding their bowels a few days out, with Nora starting a little before the girls as she was still able to hold it a bit longer. The timing should be perfect, they all thought, for the drive to be quite a desperate one. They might not be on the edge of an accident when they got to the hotel, but they'd all be close enough to make it extremely fun and arousing as they struggled not to shit themselves before making it to a working toilet.
Finally, the day of their trip arrived, and all three woke up to serious urges from their bowels. All three were prairie dogging, and it was going to be a challenge to keep their bowels in control long enough to reach their working hotel room toilet. And even then, who would go first, second and third? That would need to be decided later, and all three knew it without asking the others.
They carefully loaded up Nora's car, trying not to cause an early release. They left around noon after having lunch at home which didn't help any of them one bit. The drive would be short, but it didn't stop Erica from complaining pretty early on.
"I need to shit so badly," Erica said as she grunted, "it's trying so hard to come out."
"Me too," Nora chimed in, "I'm prairie dogging so badly."
"Me three," Lori said with a chuckle, "I don't know how much longer I can hold it!"
They all knew the answer was they had to at least get into their hotel room. They kept going, not stopping at any bathrooms along the way. It was hard work for all three, especially Lori, who seemed to have a stronger urge than the other two. She complained again about an hour in, "Oh man, I'm almost touching cloth here, I can barely suck it back in!"
"You need to hold it dear," Nora said, "No shitting in my car."
The response was a heavy grunt as Lori fought hard to force her load back into her rectum one more time. She wasn't sure she could last much longer. And though she'd peed before leaving the house, she was starting to feel her bladder filling again to her concern.
