There were just 3 people plus the minister at the gravesite. As the minister spoke, the three people just stood there, holding hands, with tears streaming down their faces. The three people were Anna, her brother Shaun, and their father Carl Pearson. The person in the casket was the children's mother. Just a couple of short months ago their mother had complained of feeling run down and went to see a doctor. What she found was that she had Stage 4 cancer and it had metastasized to the point that only radical chemo treatments could only slow her inevitable demise. In counsel with her family, she elected to forego the treatments, wanting only to enjoy her last time on earth.
The reason there were no others at the funeral was not that they were bad people. It was just that they were a very insular family. They really just wanted to socialize with their own family members. Until last year, that family had had two sets of grandparents. They too were very insular. The grandparents had been thrown together as orphans when they were young children and bonded in a way usually only found among family members. It was that closeness that led the Pearson family to lose all of them at one time as they were coming back together from a play when a drunk driver crossed the line and hit the car they were in, head on.
Carl Pearson's an accountant and worked out of his house, so he had no work buddies, not that he minded. For him, all he needed was found in the 4 walls of his house, his loving wife and his wonderful children.
Now the children were motherless. Anna, at 15, was particularly devastated by losing her mother. Shaun, at 16 was also devastated by hid it behind a façade of toughness. Carl had married his childhood sweetheart when they were both 18 and now, he found himself a 35-year-old widower.
For the month after the funeral they all moped around the house unless they were at school or working. Evenings usually found them snuggled in the parents' bed, just holding each other quietly. But gradually they moved from the bed to the living room where they snuggled together on the couch. Eventually, one of them turned on the TV and they stared mindlessly at whatever happened to be on. A couple of months later they seemed to come out of their stupor and they looked for shows that would, if not cheer them up, would at least distract them.
Anna and Shaun were much like their parents, preferring the company of family to anyone else. Oh, they were friendly with the other kids at school, it was just that they didn't feel like they needed friends, not when they had each other. They walked together to and from school every day. When Shaun got his driver's license, he drove them to school in the family car.
They got into a routine, Monday through Friday, the kids would go to school, come home, sit down at the kitchen table and do their homework. By the time they were done with their homework, their father had finished work for the day, so the three of them would make dinner. After dinner, they would watch TV until it was time for bed. Weekends would find the three of them up early and they would go for a run. They all liked running, it was a good way to exercise and it didn't force you to interact with others like a team sport would. After they got back from their run and had showered, they each did their chores. Theirs was a rather traditional family, so the division of the chores was along traditional sexist lines. That meant that Anna did the cleaning and laundry while the guys did yard work and home repair.
Their routine changed when Shaun entered his senior year of high school. He joined the cross-country team and started running every day after school instead of immediately sitting down to do his homework. Anna took it on herself to take over the cooking. By the time she was 18, Anna had essentially taken on her deceased mother's role.
Shaun had decided to follow in his father's footsteps and started taking accounting at a local public university. He'd gotten a partial scholarship by joining the college cross-country team so he didn't have to work to pay for college. Instead, he started helping his father with his work.
Although Carl was happy with his family, he missed the other benefits that came with having a wife, namely, sex. Besides, he really wanted another child. He and his deceased wife had been talking about having another child when she was diagnosed with cancer. After agonizing for weeks, he decided to try online dating. It took a few weeks, but he finally got a date with a woman who looked promising.
In the meantime, Shaun had been asked by a classmate to accompany her to a Sadie Hawkins dance. While he was uncomfortable with the whole idea of going out with someone outside the family, he too wanted to get laid. He was tired of beating off to porn and wanted the real thing. So, he agreed to go.
Both of those events happened on Friday and the conversation that night was awkward.
"Kids, I have something to tell you."
"What, Dad?"
"I have a date for next weekend, Saturday to be specific."
"A date! You can't do that. I won't allow it." Anna yelled.
"Yes, I can and I am."
With that, Anna stomped her foot and stormed off to her room.
"Dad, I guess this is not the best time for me to say this, but I have a date the same night."
"No, it probably isn't. I was really hoping you'd be home with Anna. But there is nothing to be done about it. I will talk with her in the morning. Congratulations on the date. Where are you going?"
"The school has a Sadie Hawkins dance."
"One problem, we only have one car."
"No problem, Dad, she is picking me up. Remember, it's a Sadie Hawkins dance."
It was clear the next morning that Anna was still mad as she pushed herself in her run, just to stay away from her father. Later, it was also obvious when she was making breakfast because she kept slamming things down on the counter.
After breakfast was over Carl cornered Anna and said "Honey, we need to talk."
"What's there to talk about! You are breaking up the family for some hussy."
"I am not breaking up the family, I am just going out on a date."
"Why? You don't need a wife, I take care of the house and cook your meals."
"Honey, uh, there are things a wife does that you can't. Uh, a husband and wife do things in the bedroom. Besides, I really would like another child."
"Yew. You mean sex. Aren't you too old? Oh, that didn't come out right. But you know what I mean."
"No, I am definitely not too old. Believe me, I still have urges and, as I said, I would really like another child. Your mom and I were planning to have another child when she got sick. Now, I feel as though I owe it to her to have another baby."
"I still don't like it."
"Well, I have another thing you won't like. Shaun has a date too. He has been asked to go to a Sadie Hawkins dance at his school. It's next Saturday night too."
Hearing that, Anna's face just crumbled and she started to sob. "You are both deserting me. It is the end of the family."
"Now honey, we are not deserting you. It is just one date."
"But why is Shaun going out?"
"Uh, honey, he is a guy and guys get urges. He will have to leave the house one day and start his own family. As will you. Don't you want to get married and start your own family"
To which Anna wailed "But I have a family or at least I thought I did."
"You do have a family and no matter what happens, we will always be your family. We just might not live together."
Anna's reaction to that statement was to storm off to her room and, after slamming her door as loud as possible, flinging herself on her bed where she cried herself to sleep. The rest of the weekend was no better as Anna was still mad at her brother and father.
Sunday evening found Anna alone in her bedroom fuming.
"Urges, I can't believe those guys. Of course, they have urges, so do I. But I take care of them quietly at night, why can't they? And Daddy with his 'I want to have another baby.' Then he goes on to say that Shaun and I will both want to have children someday. Of course, we will. Why can't we just have them together? Wait, what did I just say? Of course, that's the perfect solution! I can take care of their urges and have their babies. Then the family can stay together. Of course, I will have to have Daddy's baby first, before he gets too old. But how do I take care of Shaun's urges? I've heard the girls at school talk about giving their boyfriends blowjobs but they also said their boyfriends were only satisfied with blowjobs for a little while. Oh, didn't Kerry say she satisfied her boyfriend by letting him fuck her ass, that way she could stay a virgin? She also said she'd had to stretch her ass first. I can't remember what she used to do that but I bet I can find something online."
With that, she sat down at her computer and started researching. It wasn't long before she realized she needed an anal dildo and some lube. Thank god for Amazon Prime. She placed an order and had her package delivered Tuesday. She spent the next few nights in the privacy of her own room stretching her ass. The guys had no clue what thoughts were going through her head and were just thankful that she was not storming around the house. Last Saturday when they were watching TV, she even managed to huff while she sat stiffly on the couch. She had just radiated anger.
Saturday came around and the guys were nervously pacing as they waited until the appointed time. Anna flitted around the house. Other than not looking angry, the only other difference was her clothes. She was just wearing panties and a T-shirt, definitely not her usual weekend wear. It was also clear that she didn't have a bra on because her b-cups jiggled as she pranced around.
"God, Dad, what's with Anna? I'm stoked enough about this dance and watching her tits jiggle is keeping me so hard I'm going to have a hard time not jumping my date as soon as we get in the car."
"I don't know but I certainly do know how you feel. I've never looked on her as a woman before, but now..."
Finally, it was time for the guys to leave and off they went. Unfortunately for them, neither had a good time. Both were awkward and uncomfortable. It was clear when they parted from their dates that there would not be a second date for either of them.
The guys were commiserating together in the living room the next morning after their showers when Anna entered the room. She was wearing a robe, something they'd never seen her do other than when she was going to her room after taking a shower.
"I take it from the looks on your faces that last night didn't go well. Good, because I have the solution to all our problems. That includes your urges and your desires to have babies."
