"Bye, dad! And bye little buddy!" Abi gave her dad a hug and kissed the head of her one and a half year old step brother, Stevie, held in her dad's arms. The two guys were leaving to visit with her grandparents for the weekend across state. Abi had a shift to work the next morning so was staying behind with Lynn, her step-mother. Stevie hadn't been sleeping much lately and just wanted to nurse constantly, tiring Lynn out and leading her to ask for a well-deserved weekend off.
"Bye hun. Take care of your step-mom ok? She needs to relax this weekend."
"I know dad. Don't worry about it. We're just going to hang out and watch movies tonight and tomorrow she can sleep in."
"Ok, that sounds good. Bye sweetie." Her dad gave her a peck on the forehead, picked up the suitcase of baby supplies in his free hand, and walked out their front door.
It was 5:30 on a Friday in mid August -- and hot. Abi was wearing shorts and a loose t-shirt with her hair pulled back in a pony tail, leaving her small, 110 lbs, 5'3" body underneath -- simple and relaxed. She had been working at a candle store in the mall on weekends to save up a little cash before heading to college in a few weeks. Together with the $400 she received for her 18th birthday a few months ago, she had saved up nearly $2,000 in spending money. Her dad was covering tutition and living expenses -- one of the perks of being raised in a split family perhaps. She didn't have to be into the store until 10 the next morning so figured she and Lynn could stay up late and watch some cheesey chick flicks. Maybe Lynn would even offer her a glass or two of wine!
Abi's parent's split up when she was five and her dad married Lynn when she was fifteen. Abi always liked Lynn -- she was kind and good to her dad. Definitely nothing like the evil step mothers you hear about in movies. This was Lynn's first marriage and she had wanted her own kids right from the start. Being 32 when she married (ten years younger than Abi's dad), she was worried about waiting too long so Abi knew they had started trying right away. She wasn't sure exactly why it took so long, but after a year and a bit, Lynn finally got pregnant with Stevie. He's a super cute kid and lots of fun to have around -- except for the fact that he's never been a good sleeper and has an unusually strong attachment to nursing. As a result, Lynn's milk supply has been tremendous for the entire year. So much so, that she has had to buy a hospital grade breast pump just to keep up with her production.
Lynn was taking a nap in her room. She had been up all night with Stevie and most of the day while everyone else was out. Abi decided to start on dinner and try to get everything prepped for the night. Her goal was to pamper and relax Lynn as much as she could. She pulled out two chicken breasts to prepare a fancy chicken alfredo pasta dish she had seen online. Just as the oven had heated up she head Lynn curse from her room - 'Oh fuck'. Lynn never swore so this must have been something serious. Abi left the oven waiting and ran to Lynn in her room.
"What's wrong!?" Abi asked -- half panicked.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you. It's just, my pump won't turn on. I think it's jammed or something."
Lynn was sitting on the bed wearing track pants and a nursing bra. Her engorged breasts spilled over the cotton just slightly and, despite the extra thickness, small wet spots were visible on the outside of the beige fabric.
Lynn pressed the on switch and a loud, shrill, grinding sound came from the pump. She let it ring in the air for a couple of seconds and then turned it off.
"The one weekend where I really -- really -- need this piece of shit and it breaks, and it's after 6 which means the hospital's supply store is closed until Monday. Shit shit shit shit..."
Abi watched her step mom smack the pump repeatedly. She felt bad because it was her job to help Lynn relax and it's already off to a horrible start.
"Maybe it just needs some time to cool down or something," Abi offered, timidly. That pump was worked hard on a daily basis after all.
"Maybe. This has never happened before and I barely got 5 ounces out before it jammed. I mean, I'm fine now, but in a few hours I'm going to need it."
"I'm, uhh, making chicken alfredo..."
Lynn chuckled. "Thanks dear. That sounds wonderful. Let me get cleaned up and I'll be right out."
Abi walked back to the kitchen and got the chicken in the oven. The sauce required some prep work with cream and cheese so she got started on that. Being honest with herself, she was nervous. She had spent a lot of time with Lynn over the last few years, obviously, but with going from her dad being a newly wed to the baby, this was the first "girl time" she's had with Lynn and she wanted it to go well. The chicken alfredo was just that start of her plans. A shirtless Ryan Goslin was for dessert but if Lynn ended up in pain all night due to her stupid pump being broken the whole weekend would get ruined.
An hour and a half later, Abi and Lynn were finishing off their chicken alfredo with linguini. The sauce was fantastic and Lynns spirits were up. Both Abi and Lynn were optimistically hoping that the pump would fix itself and plans would continue without hinderance.
"That. Was. Fantastic. I don't know where you get it, but you can cook girl!". Abi stood up and started to clear the table.
"Thanks Lynn! I'm still learning and this was my first time making this recipe but it turned out pretty good!"
"Well, I think you've earned yourself a glass of vino -- but only if you don't tell your dad." Lynn winked commically at Abi and Abi laughed back.
"Thanks! I'd love a glass of wine!"
"Ok. I hate to leave you with these dishes, but I'm going to go see if that stupid milker is working again."
"Oh, no problem. I'll clean up here and get everything ready for the movie. Don't worry about it!"
It was getting on towards 8 now and the heat still hadn't disipated. Abi could feel her skin sweating and thought it might be easier to change into something a bit looser now that dinner was over. It was just her and Lynn after all -- she could totally ditch her bra and hang out in a light nightgown for the rest of the night. After putting the dishes in the sink, she walked back toward her room, past her dad and Lynn's room, and heard the pump whirring away. Thank god it seems to be working again!
In her room Abi pulled off her shirt and immediately reached back to unsnap her 32C bra. Her release of tension felt amazing and the instant exposure to the air made her skin feel just a little bit cooler -- if only for an instant. With her top off, Abi reached down to her shorts, undid the button, and pulled them down her smooth thighs. Her panties, a light white lace, were damp with sweat, but she kept them on for now knowing that any new pair would be the same in no time at all. Ruffling throuh her drawer, Abi pulled out a light white nighty she often wore on hot summer nigts and pulled it on over her head. The material was ever so slightly transparent, falling to mid thigh length, but not scandalously so. It let her body breath which was the goal after all.
