Chad was born on Mother's Day 1996, which happens to also be his mom's birthday as well. Tracy always tells him he's the best gift she could ever have asked for, arriving on both her birthday and Mother's Day. It's a true rarity that always made them feel even closer than usual. This Mother's Day was one of the rare years when their shared birthdays once again lined up on Mother's Day, like it did when Chad was born. Chad turned 28 and Tracy 49 this year.
Tracy surprised him a couple weeks before this special event when she plainly and unbashfully asked for them to have sex to commemorate. It completely surprised him. They've always had a very special close relationship, but never like that before. Chad had no clue she was planning this, and apparently she considered it the last time their birthdays lined up with Mother's Day, 5 years ago when Chad turned 23 and she 44. Chad asked her why now and not last time these dates overlapped, she said the timing was better now. She was worried she could still get pregnant last time so decided against it then, and Chad had a serious girlfriend then but he's single now.
Leading up, Chad was struggling to come up with how to show his mom how much he appreciates her this year on her birthday/Mother's Day. His mom is incredibly hard to buy a gift for, especially for her birthday since it's also his birthday. As Chad usually does, he asked his mom for gift ideas, fully expecting her usual "I don't need anything" response. But no. Not this time. She did have something in mind that Chad never expected, something shocking but also appropriate and meaningful.
"There is something I want this year," she said. Chad didn't even know what to say. Even before he knew what she wanted, the mere fact she wanted something at all caught him off guard.
"There is?" Chad asked, confused and surprised.
She said this was something she's been considering for a while, adding that it was the most special and appropriate way for them to celebrate the occasion of their shared birthdays together this Mother's Day. A gift for them both. As she explained it, she wanted them to be bonded like they were the day he was born.
Call him naive, but Chad was confused what she meant by that. "Through sex," she clarified, quick to point out the tender irony of having him return inside her to celebrate their shared birthdays this Mother's Day, given that his literal birthday was on Mother's Day 28 years ago. "Don't you think that would be a truly special way for us to commemorate? You can get some sexual relief and I can have you back inside me."
Chad was flabbergasted by what his mom was suggesting. He never in a million years would have expected her to ask him to have sex and never thought about that himself before. Chad agreed how meaningful having sex to celebrate this rare special occasion would be, and admitted to welcoming relief to a dry spell, but also addressed concerns with doing so to avoid them getting into a situation they could regret.
"I love you more than you know, Mom, but that's intense."
"I understand if you are uneasy with it, but, Chad, I hope you'll see how special it would be for us."
"I never knew you felt that way about me."
"You misunderstand, it's not like that at all. Don't get me wrong, you're a handsome man who any woman would appreciate, but I don't want this because of that. I have this strong compulsion that we're supposed to join like that. You were the best gift I could ever have asked for, and it's a special fate that you made me a mother on both my birthday and on Mother's Day. I can't think of a better way for us to commemorate that now that our birthdays are once again on Mother's Day. I haven't had sex since the day you were conceived, which allowed for this special day in the first place, so it only feels appropriate that you are the one who I make love to again."
"I guess that kind of makes sense, but what happens the day after?" Chad asked, still unsure.
"This compulsion I feel is only because of the way the stars are aligned this year, like they were then, like they rarely are," she explained. If you haven't caught on, Tracy can be rather quirky. She believes a lot in signs and signals, something Chad never quite understood. He believes more in coincidences than fate. Tracy has had a bad history with men, which is why she's mostly avoided entanglements with anyone else. The one night Chad was conceived was a rare sexual event for her, one of a handful and the last she experienced. She has not missed sex, at least not as badly as some might think. At times, she has felt that urge and made the best of self-care. But this wasn't about lust or sexual gratification for her, this was about the symbolism and a way of celebrating her unique bond with her son.
"So we would only share the night together and that's it?" After his mom confirmed that's all she wanted, Chad told her, "I don't think I can just shut it off the next day. Having sex, even just once, would change our relationship and the way we see each other forever."
"Of course it will. I don't want you to block it out after, I want this to stay with us forever, something we can both cherish forever. That's the whole point. We will always share it between us, something that makes our special day even more special. I just don't want you to feel like you have to be tied down with me by it."
Tracy made valid points that helped Chad overcome most of his hesitation, even though he still felt apprehensive mostly because of how embarrassing it would be. Chad acknowledged, "They way you describe it sounds charming, even if unusual."
"Exactly! So you're open to it?" She asked, hopeful.
Chad couldn't give her an immediate answer. He found it slightly appealing but he was conflicted, torn with indecision. He appreciated why his mom wanted this, and it oddly seemed rational. It was the biggest gift she ever asked for, a meaningful way for them to celebrate the rarity of him being born on both her birthday and Mother's Day. His mom had obviously given this a lot of thought -- for years, wanted it badly, and this alignment wouldn't occur again for another 6 years. But Chad also understood how having sex with her would change things. It was an extreme form of intimacy. Despite his misgivings, how she described it felt charming, almost romantic, and Chad couldn't decline her invitation. Chad couldn't decline an opportunity for sex when it had been so long for him either, but that was not the deciding factor for him. He's only had the one serious girlfriend, which ended 3 years ago. His mom's attitudes towards romantic couplings have influenced his own making it difficult for him to commit to romance.
It helped Chad to perceive this through the lens that it wasn't just having sex with his mom. He couldn't see himself having sex with her just for the sex, no matter how badly he needed sexual relief. He took comfort in how his mom described it, as a rejoining of their bodies to commemorate the rare alignment of their shared birthdays with Mother's Day. It felt like an important ceremony more than an erotic night of pleasure. With that, he agreed, albeit with some hesitation, causing his mom acute joy. They made plans for how the event would go down. They wanted it to feel special and not just a rump around the bed. An actual date of some sort, one that ends with their "rejoining."
Night of event
Chad and his mom spent a wonderful Mother's Day evening that began with a romantic dinner and ended with champagne at a nice hotel before conjugating their special day. As they planned, Chad picked her up like he would a date, presenting her with a corsage. So far, Chad wasn't too anxious about the rejoining he was about to experience with his mom. It didn't seem real to him yet, like someone else's fairytale. He told his mom she was pretty, and she returned the compliment. He gave her a nice kiss on the cheek and they left for the restaurant. They dressed up for the occasion, and some people probably wondered about this couple clearly old enough to be mother-and-son dressed so elegantly out together on Mother's Day acting like a couple. There were mostly entire families there celebrating. Chad and Tracy didn't care. This was their special day and no one else's business. They had specific and justifying reasons for doing what they were doing.
After dinner, they went for the hotel. They didn't even bother with packing luggage. They were there for a special purpose that didn't require a change of clothes. Chad quickly checked them in, Tracy right by his side. The front desk clerk probably wondered the same thing as those who witnessed them at the restaurant. Chad thought to himself, almost wanting to confirm aloud to the clerk, "Yes this is my mom, and yes we are about to have sex, and no we're not ashamed of it."
Despite the brave face he put on, Chad started to feel anxious for the first time that night, as the reality of their anticipated rejoining neared. He calmed his nerves by reminding himself of the significance of making love to her, that it wasn't because he was lustful for his own mother. That felt wrong to him, but doing it for the reason they were felt appropriate and not something anyone else could understand.
Chad had requested ahead that champagne be waiting for them on ice. He prepared a glass for each of them. They toasted their special relationship, on this special day, before sipping from the bubbly. First they wished each other a happy birthday, then Chad wished her a Happy Mother's Day. This was going to be a birthday and Mother's Day that would forever stand out in their memories -- hopefully for the tender love and not for the embarrassing awkwardness. They had never seen each other naked as adults, barely talked about sex, and were now about to join their naked bodies together in tender love.
They spent a long time just talking while they sipped on champagne, comforting their nerves. They reminisced about their lives together, special moments they shared over the many years. It made him realize just how strong their love for each other was, and further convinced him why what they were doing was good.
"Are you nervous?" Chad asked at one point.
