Chapter 4

As the morning woke the three lovers in their bed, Jason's mind reviewed the previous day's events. Meeting Vincent was a stroke of luck that couldn't be denied. His outlook and perspective would be useful to Jason in ensuring that Vincent's dire warnings did not come to pass. In the future, their family would have to be very careful.

As he considered Jessica, Jason realized that she needed to be brought under control soon. He briefly considered giving her to Vincent, then decided that she was too much of a security risk. Unsure of how to deal with her, he decided to ask Janet.

Finally, his new relationship with his sister and mother came to the fore. Both of them were caring lovers, but there was an undercurrent that he didn't catch the previous evening. Immediately, he scanned his sister and found that she was having erotic dreams about him. The previous evening, when he joined with her, he had experienced her love and devotion. That same emotion was still present, and seemed to be growing.

As he focused his powers on his mom, he found the problem. Her emotions were a mix of love for her children, and profound fear: Fear of where the path of incest would take her family. Her children having sex didn't seem to bother her too much. However, Jason and her making love frightened her. She felt that she would lose her family if they were to take that step. Coupled with the loss of her husband and feeling unfaithful to him, she was scared of where they were headed. Jason wished there was some way he could relieve her unfounded fears.

As Jason lay in the bed pondering these revelations, he attempted to make sense of them. He felt he needed advice. Perhaps now would be a good time to talk to Vincent. He started to slide from between the two lovely women bracketing him, only to find Janet moving to let him out. She looked up at him with eyes that spoke of worry and a mother's love. Jason mentally kicked himself. The only advisor he could need was here, waiting to guide him through life as only a mother could.

"How long have you been awake? I am sorry if I woke you up Mom."

"I have been laying here, trying to figure out a way to talk to you. Jason, sweetie, I don't think that us making love is such a good idea. There are just too many..." Janet began to say.

Jason interrupted her with a peck on her lips. "I understand mom. I was lying awake, trying to figure out what to do. There are a lot of issues that need to be addressed, and I was thinking of going to talk to Vincent. That is, until I realized the worlds best advisor to any person is their mother. Mom, would you listen to my concerns and maybe help me come to some answers?"

Uncertain of where Jason was going with this, she nodded her assent. She stood, grabbed her bathrobe and his clothes from the day before, took Jason's hand, and led him out of the room. "We don't want to wake your sister. Let's go sit in the kitchen while I make some coffee and breakfast."

Sighing inwardly, Jason followed his mother to the kitchen. After throwing on his clothes, he sat and watched as she busied herself preparing her coffee and breakfast for the family. While she worked, they chatted about his school, his interests and other minutia, all the while avoiding the subjects that Jason felt needed to be discussed.

After placing a plate in front of Jason, Janet sat with her cup of coffee and said "Okay Jason. Before you begin, may I please say something?"

"Uhh... Sure mom. Go ahead."

"Well, Son, I was thinking this morning. I love you and your sister dearly, but, I don't think that you and I should have sex. There are enough issues that already come up with you and your sister making love. Plus, I miss your father. Last night, well it was wonderful being able to share that with the two of you, but I don't think that we should continue with you and me."

Greatly relieved, Jason responded "I was feeling some odd feelings about our relationship this morning. That was one of the things I wanted to ask your opinion on. I love you Mom. The last thing I would want to do is make you hurt or feeling like we are doing something wrong." Saying that, he leaned in and kissed his mom on the cheek. Jason then linked with his mom, showing her his heart, and told her, "You know I love you both unconditionally and would never do anything to hurt either you or Kelly. You feel that beyond any doubt by listening to my heart. Hopefully, we can put your doubts and concerns to rest."

"We have more serious issues we need to deal with. What are we to do with Vincent, the Order and Jessica?"

"Jessica? The nurse? What does she have to do with anything?" Janet inquired.

Sighing deeply, Jason told his mom the whole story, leaving nothing out this time. He knew he needed advice, and without the whole story his mom might offer advice that was made without good information. When he finished, Janet drained the rest of her coffee in one gulp, stood, and walked into the kitchen to get another cup. With her back to him, Janet asked "Was she any good?" with a quiet tone that Jason had never heard before.
