"So, Mom," said Tanya with a tone that was equal parts sarcasm and annoyance, "do you want to fuck me now, too?"
"No, dear... I promise to be your old, predictable, and very proper mother from now on... or at least until I go through this
medical
procedure with Rudy and Renee. By the way, what do
you
call them when they're in their joined state?"
"I tried to call the Dyadomorph
Runee
once, but
it
didn't like it, so now I just pick whichever name fits at that particular moment. Umm... if we're done here, can I please get some clothes on?"
"Perhaps you and I should get cleaned up and then get into our pajamas. After that, you pick out the movie and I'll secure the snacks. We can relax in the family room while
whatever its name
is over there sleeps off its sexual bender," Carolyn said as she gave a head nod to the naked, slumbering creature in the center of her bed.
"Mom," Tanya began, "don't you want to ask me questions about what happened when the Dyadomorph and I... joined?"
"Sure, but I imagine it was a very personal experience for you, so I thought better of it."
"Don't get me wrong... I'm glad you
didn't
try to ask. It saved me from having to tell you that I've been blocked from revealing anything to you."
"Something they did to you?" Carolyn asked as she grabbed up her clothes.
"Yes, the Dyadomorph wants to impart this knowledge to you free from any 'interpretations' I think is the way they put it."
"I take it that at the very least you enjoyed the event; you did say it was 'fun.'"
"Fun... and overwhelming on so many levels... and life-altering..."
"I'll say!" Carolyn replied as the two of them made for separate showers. "If I heard right, you are immortal, now, my dear. That's about as life-altering as anything can get!"
"You'll know soon enough, Mom. See you in fifteen minutes or so..."
"It's a date, honey!"
Twenty minutes later — as Carolyn Smirnoff toweled herself dry after a much-needed shower — her mind replayed the events of the last several hours. Her rational self wanted to laugh back into the realm of bad fiction the notion of the existence of a creature like the Dyadomorph. On the other hand, her senses did record what they saw and felt and smelled and heard. To deny the evidence presented to her by her three children would be an act of scientific malpractice.
Carolyn slipped on one of her most sheer nightgowns and wore over that a modest housecoat. Otherwise, she was naked. Somehow, this level of undress felt right to her; which was another way of saying, it felt like she was prepared for what she thought was about to happen. She glanced up at the wall clock in the bathroom. It told her it was fifteen minutes past nine. Opening the bathroom door, Carolyn could smell the odor of hot, buttered popcorn...
"Either Renee and Rudy have recovered in record time, or Tanya took an unusually quick shower... for her, that is!"
On her way to the family room, Carolyn snuck a peek into her bedroom to check the status of the Dyadomorph. It was still as it had been: naked and breathing deeply. That question answered, she turned her attention to which one of the hundreds of movie titles her youngest child had chosen. Tanya was in the process of setting out their bowls and glasses of Pepsi when her mother entered the room...
"Hey, I thought you might like to choose the movie since I went ahead and popped the popcorn and got our drinks."
"Sure, but are you in the mood for something in particular?"
"Umm... how would you feel about watching some porn," Tanya said with a glint in her eyes, "say...
incest
porn?"
Carolyn was shocked into silence by Tanya's new-found cheekiness. It took her almost half a minute to find her voice...
"Do you get into that sort of... stimulating sex-play, my dear?"
"They do say, 'incest is the best!' And after experiencing it first-hand, I have to agree."
"But I doubt we have anything of that sort in our library of DVDs... nor do I think you've ever seen such... trashy taboo!"
"You would be surprised
what
I've seen, Mom. And — while I imagine a lot of it
is
garbage — the two times I saw it, it was absolutely beautiful."
"You've watched incest porn videos?" Carolyn asked incredulously.
"Umm... not so much watched them as I... shot them..."
"You operated a camera while two people related to each other had sex... together?"
"Melanie and Brad Petersen to be exact; and, yes, they asked me to film a couple of their lovemaking sessions."
"The kids from the Petersen family who live down the street?" Carolyn screeched. "They are brother and sister! How old are they, now?"
"They are in their early to mid-twenties. When I filmed them the first time, Melanie had just turned twenty-one and Brad was... nineteen."
"That was over three years ago, young lady! What were you..."
"Please don't say it, Mother. I don't need you pointing out the shame I've reminded myself of practically every day since I was... that age."
"Wait one minute here... Melanie has a toddler. She asked me for a referral to another Ob/Gyn..."
"Yep! And she's expecting another baby any day now."
"Are they..."
"Both..."
"Do their parents know?"
"Yes, Mom... they know and grudgingly accept."
"And you have copies of these
incest fests
they engaged in?"
"Hidden in my bedroom..."
"Go get one of them! I want to see this with my own eyes!"
Some two minutes later as Tanya inserted an unmarked DVD disc into the player and used the remote to turn on the TV, Carolyn grabbed a handful of popcorn and relaxed into the couch. The screen went from snowy to an image blurred by unsteady hands...
"I got much better at keeping the camera focused as the session progressed. You'll see..."
What Carolyn saw was Melanie Petersen dressed in a skimpy outfit of daisy dukes and an off-the-shoulder flowered peasant top. It was obvious to Carolyn from the prominent points poking through her blouse that she was not in immediate possession of a bra. Melanie waved at the camera and began to speak...
"Hi, sweetheart... I'm your mother, of course. I look pretty damn sexy for your old Ma, don't you think? In a moment, your father will step in front of the camera and introduce himself."
Tanya paused the recording. Melanie — in all her blonde-haired, leggy cheerfulness — stood frozen in mid-wave.
"As you probably figured out by now, they asked me to shoot this video as a keepsake for the child they were about to make; in this case, so their daughter would know for sure she was conceived in love; not lust, rape, or for some other dirty reason."
"They actually plan on showing these DVDs to their children?" Carolyn asked in disbelief.
"It wasn't my idea, Mom," Tanya replied. "I just agreed to film them is all..."
"Well, I'm not their daughter, but go ahead and play it."
Carolyn watched as Tanya tapped the remote's play button. Melanie's exuberant image was quickly replaced by the naked body of Brad Petersen. Carolyn's hand went immediately to cover her mouth. It was impossible for her not to be impressed with the then nineteen-year-old's erect male organ. She thought to herself...
"No wonder she fucks her brother! There's not a female on this planet who wouldn't mind being tapped by
