Another incest story! These are surprisingly popular. A semi-long read, includes elements of mental change, mother-son sex, body modifications and expansion, sundry other unrealistic stuff. If that's not your bag, kindly don't complain to me that you opened somebody else's bag.

"...musculoædificatiarius facerefecund (colloq. "MF virus") virus," read the CDC report, "is a highly-contagious pathogen originating in the Eastern Seaboard; incubation period can last up to three weeks from first infection, followed by rapid onset of intense flu-like symptoms, including high fever, nausea..."
Daphne Ryerson skimmed downwards, flipping the page as her car idled.
"...attending physician reported that over 95% of patients with a high viral load experience overactive pituitary and high endorphin levels..."
She brushed a disobedient strand of silky brown hair out of her face; it had fallen out of her rather severe ponytail.
"...symptoms were most exaggerated in male patients, aged 18-25. Treatment options include..."
She glanced at the front door of the Faculty of Science building. Where was he?
Daphne's lips, painted a dramatic dark red, curled up in a sneer. She rolled up the photocopied pages into an untidy, ragged tube and tossed it into the backseat. If that boy thought he could just *call* and pull her out of a damn hospital board meeting on a *whim*, then he had another think coming; she was going to-
The passenger car door opened and her son, Jack, slid in. He was white as a sheet.
Before he even had his seatbelt on, Daphne dropped the clutch and roared out of the firelane in front of the building.
"And where were you, young man?" She snapped, speeding through a yellow light and onto the freeway. With a free hand, she tugged the hem of her skirt down; it rode up again as she shifted gears, climbing up her smooth, tanned thigh.
"I'm sorry mom," Jack said, in a shaky voice. "I swear, I was waiting right there by the door, and then I had to go and- and-" he burped, and his mother glanced over. His pallor was giving way to an unhealthy green, sweat breaking out across his brow. "I had to go get sick again." The college senior grimaced, then laid his head back against the headrest.
"I *sincerely* hope you did," she said, frowning as she dodged around a minivan that was only travelling five or ten above the speed limit. "In fact, you had better be dying of cholera; you can't just call me every time you get a tummy ache, Jack. You're not in grade school."
Daphne took a sharp right, exiting the freeway.
"You know you pulled me out of a hospital board meeting? There's some kind of a new bug going around and we need to make sure we have the protocol in order before-" gearing down, she reached over and pressed a wrist against her son's forehead. "Jesus, Jack. You're burning up. Did you go to school like this?"
"I felt a little queasy," her son said. He began to shiver. "But nothing like this. Is the AC on? I'm freezing."
"I bet," Daphne maneuvered herself out of her cardigan and handed it across the car. "Here. Wrap this around you." Jack did as he was told and closed his eyes while his mother told him off for spreading infection around and making the university sick, wheeling around another right hand turn so fast it set his head spinning.
"Mom," he said, "if you don't slow down, I'm going to-" the rest of his words were lost in a *basso* belch.
"Not in my car, you won't." She shot him a look. "Don't be a baby. We're almost home. Hold on."
Moments later, the car took a sharp left then came to a stop. Daphne's glossy nude pumps clacked loudly on the asphalt as she strode around the back of the car to retrieve her purse from the trunk.
As she reached inside, a querulous voice called out from across the road, "home for lunch, eh? A little afternoon delight?"
Old Man Crawley was leering from his usual perch, an ancient rattan chair on the front patio of his house. Daphne's white pencil dress was stretched taut across the broad, muscular globes of her ass, horizontal pinstripes clearly delineating her dramatic curves, measuring out a contour map of her body, sculpted from hours spent on the gym equipment installed in her basement when she wasn't at the hospital. She straightened up, shouldering her purse and putting one hand on her hip, just below a very trim waist, wheeled around to face the geezer on the other side of the street.
Without a word, she gave him one well-manicured finger, then strode over to the passenger side of the car, and opened it. Jack slumped in his seat, moaning in a low voice.
"Can you stand?" Daphne asked, watching her son struggle to undo his seatbelt. Leaning inside the car, Jack would have gotten a good eyeful of her fulsome bosom as it pressed against the clingy jersey of her dress, if he hadn't been semi-conscious. As it was, she undid his belt, and hooked his arm over her shoulders. Together, they half-walked, half-dragged themselves into the house. She could feel the heat radiating from his body; his clothes were damp with sweat.
"You are going straight to bed," she said. "Then we'll get some Tylenol into you and fluids; if that doesn't bring your fever down, we'll try an ice bath. I am *not* hauling you back across town to the hospital today." Jack just nodded, then burped, then groaned.
They stumbled into the house and up the stairs, which took an agonizingly long time, as Daphne had to occasionally stop to nag her son back into the real world and out of his fevered fatigue. Eventually, she nudged his door open with one pointed-toe pump; a cat in a bow tie and round spectacles stared down at her from a poster on the door, making an H20 joke from behind a chemistry set. As she helped him onto the bed, another poster above the bed declared his allegiance to Tyson/Nye. A stack of library books balanced precariously on the edge of his desk, next to his opened laptop.
"Well," she said, standing up, surveying the room. "At least you cleaned up in here like I asked." Daphne tucked the errant strand of hair behind her ear, and stood over her son, arms akimbo. "Now, you get in the bed, and I'll be right back."
Jack looked back up at her with faraway eyes, but nodded. His mother wheeled about on one five-inch heel, and strode back down the stairs.
When she returned, several minutes later, bearing an electronic thermometer, a tall glass of water and some painkillers, he hadn't moved much, if at all, and he certainly hadn't gotten *in* the bed.
Daphne clucked her tongue.
"What did I tell you?" She said, laying her load down on his desk. "Get *in* the bed."
"Mom," Jack mumbled, "it's all so sore."
She rolled her eyes. "It's just a stomach bug. You're feeling the effects of dehydration if you threw up all over the university. Undress and get in the bed, and we'll get some water into you." Jack made some weak movements to do as she asked, but he wasn't moving fast enough for his mother.
Her phone, a five inch lozenge tucked into a pocket in the front of her dress, buzzed. Daphne pulled it out and tucked it between her shoulder and her ear as efficient, clinical fingers lifted her son's shirt out of his waistband.
"Ted?" She said, yanking Jack's sweat-damp polo off him. "Yes, I'm home now. How did the meeting go?" Daphne tossed it aside. Her son's skin was slick with moisture, and paper-white, but there was no stink of sweat. "They what?" She worked at Jack's belt. "How could they not accept *any* of the guidelines? That came straight from Atlanta!" His jeans came unbuttoned, and she hooked her sharp fingernails into his belt loops. "You're right. It's not particularly lethal. Yet." Jack lifted up his hips with a soft moan, and his mother worked the pants down over his legs, struggling against the dampness. "Well?" She dropped them next to his shirt. "I, for one, would like to get ahead of it before anyth-"
Daphne's breath caught in her throat. She stared down at her son, clad only in his black boxer briefs. An obscene, swollen lump pulsated beneath the cotton fabric, a thick black tube tucked to the left, some nine inches long at least. A damp spot the size of a quarter grew around the end of it.
"What?" She said, coming back to her senses. "T-Ted, I'll have to call you back shortly okay? I'm just looking at- after my son at the moment."
Standing again, Daphne peeled back the sheets with embarrassed haste, then covered the object of her attention with a flap of the bedcovers.
"Jack, I'll be- I'll be back in a bit to check in on you." She took a step back as he regarded her, nodding. "Try to- try to drink some water," she placed the glass next to his bed, "and take the Tylenol. That'll bring your fever down."
"Sure mom," he croaked, seeming more himself already.
"And try to get some sleep," Daphne instructed, backing away. "It'll probably do you a world of good."
