End of the World – Chapter 3

It had been a tough hunt. It was just too early in the year for this. The snow line was still low. It took me a hard day, even following an old logging trail, to get around the mountain to where I wanted to be. Once I got there it was dusk, so I set up my tent, got something to eat and settled into my sleeping bag. I was so beat I immediately fell asleep.

In the morning I had some dried meat and some water. I cleaned up the camp a bit, left the tent and bag there and set out to where I had a deer blind. It was a good spot overlooking a meadow with lots of grass and a small spring off to one side. I had a spot between a couple of trees where I could stay unseen back in the shadows but still had a good field of vision. I have fashioned a kind of high bench where I could rest my weight on my butt and lean back against a tree as I waited.

It was a long day. When I was little and went out with my dad we would just see a single deer or two in a few days. Now, with almost no hunting these past years, I would see small herds grazing. But in the first day everything I saw was too lean from the winter. I decided to stay an extra day hoping to get something that would make the long walk worthwhile.

That night I made a small fire and warmed up my dinner. Sitting with my back to a tree I relived my last night back at home. Susan had taken my cock into her mouth months ago, and that had felt good, but nothing like what mom had done. And I thought she would get mad when I came in her mouth. I tried to warn her but she did not move. She knew what I was going to do and just let me and then swallowed my sperm. I’m heading back tomorrow whether I get something good or not. I checked my strings to be sure they were okay, and then got in the bag and went to sleep with visions of a head bobbing up and down at my waist.

The next day followed the same pattern as the last. Everything I saw was just too thin. Late in the afternoon, just before I was ready to give up, a buck walked out from between two trees and stopped. He looked my way but I wasn’t worried. I knew I was well hidden. He looked around a bit and then moved out into the meadow and began grazing. He had been eating well. He looked to be somewhere between 150 and 175 lbs. That meant if I’m lucky, I’ll have to pack around 125 lbs home on my back.

Moving very slowly, I carefully pulled two arrows from my quiver. If I missed with the first I would probably not have a chance for a second but it’s best to be prepared. I leaned forward off my seat and notched the arrow. I drew the string back, aimed carefully and let it fly. The deer must have heard some sound I made. He looked up in my direction. I watched him gather himself, ready to bolt, when my arrow hit him right behind the front shoulder. He leapt into the air, landed on his feet several feet away, staggered a few feet and then fell on the ground and did not move. As I walked towards him I felt some regret. He was a beautiful animal. I thought the Indians I had read about had a good idea. They thanked the animal for giving his life that they might eat. As I stood there I gave my thanks and then began to field dress him.

When I was finished I made a pack to carry the meat and went back to my camp. It was still light. I packed up the camp and started on my way home. I had been out an extra day and wanted to get home. I knew mom would be worried. She had made a point of asking me to be careful this time. Whatever distance I can get through today is that much less to cover tomorrow.

The next day I needed several rest breaks along the way. It was late afternoon before I was in sight of home. When I was close enough to make out details it looked like mom was on the porch in her rocking chair. She must have been waiting for me. When she caught sight of me she stood and waved. After I waved back she sat down to wait for me. When I was still around 200 yards out I saw movement on the west wing roof. It looked like Susan and Shelly were up on the roof replacing some of the damaged pieces I had been working on.

Mom must have yelled to them as they first looked at her and then in my direction. When they saw me they both yelled and waved to me. As I waved back I saw Terri and Megan’s heads pop up through the large hole in the roof and wave to me. They must be helping fix up the bedrooms also. That was nice. It had been pretty much just my project all this time.

Before going to the house I stopped at our ice house where we stored the game. I hung it up and then walked on to the house. When I got there everyone was on the porch waiting for me. Before I could get into the house everyone came up and hugged me, even Megan. Mom leaned over the top of the group and gave me a kiss on the cheek. “Hey girls, what’s going on? I’ve only been gone a couple of days”.

I was looking at Megan right in front of me so she replied, “You were supposed to be back yesterday. We…They were getting worried. We are just glad you are back safe”.

It was nice being the center of attention. I might have to stay out an extra day more often. I finally was able to break away when I pointed out that I was dirty, smelly and needed a shower.

When I got to my room I quickly stripped and got in the shower. I was washing my hair when I heard the shower door open. I turned towards the door but my eyes were closed to keep the soap out. I was surprised mom would come in the shower with me so early in the day and with all of the kids still up. Just the thought of her in her with me was causing me to rise to the occasion. I continued washing my hair and waited for her to do something. One of her hands grabbed me and squeezed me. Her other hand began rubbing up and down my shaft and I realized she had the soap in her hand and was washing me. I had finished my hair and now was just standing there with my eyes closed enjoying the sensations. I had been away from mom for just four days but it felt like four weeks. I was ready to get out of the shower, throw her on the bed and jump on top of her.

After making sure my cock was sparkling, she took the soap and began working up my stomach and chest. I was so hard that when she moved closer to reach up my chest I was poking her in the stomach. She swayed back and forth pushing my cock around with her stomach. I finally could not take any more and reached for the soap. I lathered my hands and then reached out to where her breasts should be. I began rubbing my hands in circles around her breasts, over her breasts. My hands were slick from the soap and just glided around her body. It only took a few seconds to realize something was wrong. Mom had nice breasts but she had five kids. Her breasts did not stick out like these. I opened my eyes and was surprised to see Susan. She looked up at me with a big smile, “Welcome home Danny”.

She looked great. If anything she had developed more since I had last seen her naked. Her breasts were larger now. “This is nice but you need to get out of here before mom catches you and we both get grounded”. But even while I said this my hands were still soaping her breasts. They had to be clean enough to eat off by now. And she still had me in hand which had a direct bearing on my thinking processes, or lack of.

“Don’t worry about mom. She is busy with dinner. I thought I would come up and give you my own welcome. I have a few minutes before anyone notices I’m gone, and no way is Megan going to be first”.

I did not quite hear her, “What”?

She pushed my cock down and moved forward so it slipped between her thighs. “I said I have a few minutes, let’s use them wisely”. Because she was so much shorter than me my cock was angled down. She rose up on her tip-toes trying to get my cock angled up but was not having any success. I bent my knees, trying to lower myself to her but the height difference was just too great. I finally put my hands around her waist and lifted her up in the air. She gave a squeal and wrapped her legs around my waist and her arms around my neck. I leaned forward until her back was against the shower wall. She gave a much louder squeal followed by, “The walls cold”.

“Shhh, it won’t be for long”. I carefully lowered her, an inch at a time until I felt my cock begin to push the lips of her pussy apart. I thrust up with my hips as I lowered her some more and slid halfway into her. “Oh Danny, that feels so good”. She felt so tight around me. It was like her pussy was half the size of mom’s. I lifted her up a bit, getting ready to let her down on me even harder when she cried out, “No Danny, don’t stop. Put it back in”.

I pushed my weight against her body and then plunged back into her. I loosened my grip around her waist and her body sagged down so that I was fully imbedded in her. I held it for a moment and then began stroking in and out of her picking up speed. Each stroke in brought a little grunt from her. She moved her mouth over to my ear, “As good as this feels, we need to stop pretty soon. Mom will wonder where we are”. I nodded my head but I did not stop stroking into her. Susan whispered in my ear, “Maybe this will help”. She then turned her head a bit towards me and took my entire ear in her mouth. She ran her tongue around the outside of my ear and then the inside. It was like a switch had been turned on. I thrust as deep as I could into her. She gasped and then began plunging the tip of her tongue in and out of my ear. That was the final straw. I grabbed her butt and pulled her tight against me trying to get deeper into her and began filling her pussy with my sperm. I was sure she had not cum but I just could not take it any longer.

It was another minute before I could move. I leaned back pulling her away from the wall. She gradually lowered her legs then we both began laughing. Her feet were swinging around trying to reach the floor and I was still buried deep in her. As I lowered her some more I finally popped out of her. She looked down at my still semi-erect, though quickly deflating, cock. She reached out and hit me with a finger and I bounced up and down. With some mock indignation I said, “Hey, show some respect”.

She just laughed and grabbed the soap again and began cleaning me a second time. “I’m not sure I should do this. He did not stay clean the last time”. When she was finished she handed me the soap, opened the door and stepped out of the shower. She waved to me saying, “I’ll see you at dinner”.

When I stepped out of the shower there were clothes laid out on the bed for me. As I put them on I kept eying the bed. I was so tired, it looked awfully inviting. I was tempted to lie down and shut my eyes for five minutes when I got a whiff of dinner. Roast, my favorite. I made my way downstairs and went into the kitchen. Everyone was already there. No one was eating, they had been waiting for me. They must have heard me coming as my plate was already filled. I sat down and took a bite. “Delicious mom”.

“Thanks son but I didn’t cook it”. She pointed all the girls. “You need to thank them. They fixed everything, dessert too”. Mom looked at me a bit longer then added, “You might want to take shorter showers though. I think you used all the hot water we have until tomorrow”. Then she looked from me to Susan. I looked over at Susan and noticed her hair was wet. Uh oh, busted. But mom did not say anything.

I looked around at them, “I’m sorry mom. Thanks everyone. The food looks great. I guess I need to stay out more often”.

After some small talk we all dug in and began eating. Every now and then I would look up and catch one or more of the girls looking at me. They would smile and then look down and resume eating. I even caught Megan looking at me funny. Is it just that I’m too tired or is there something going on here? Finally I had to ask, “What’s going on with you all? Why do you keep looking at me like that”?

They looked around at each other. Finally Shelly looked at me and stroked her chin with her fingers. “Are you growing a beard? We were just wondering if you were growing a beard”.

“Am I what”? I reached up to my chin and realized my stubble had grown quite a bit. “No I’m not. I’ve just been out in the woods for several days. I could not shave out there”.

They all just chorused, “Oh” and everyone looked down and continued eating. After a few minutes we were all pretty much finished. Susan got up, went over to the kitchen counter and returned with a large chocolate cake. “This is my contribution”.

All I could think was ‘wow’. We had not had cake in a long time. “That looks good enough to eat”. It was quickly passed around and disappeared in no time at all.

Everything tasted so good but I was beat. I needed to go to bed. I gave my apologies for leaving so early. They all said good night and I went upstairs while they remained sitting around the table. As I climbed up the stairs I could hear some giggling from the kitchen. I wonder what’s up with them. And Megan most of all. She has been really nice to me tonight and she has tormented me for years. What’s with that?

As I was getting into bed the door opened and mom walked in. “Honey, I need to talk to you before you go to sleep”.

I turned over to face her, “Can’t it wait until morning? I’m really tired”.

Without speaking she quickly undressed and got into bed. She moved over to my side and put an arm over me. “Mom, I’m really tired. I’ll be able to do a much better job if we wait until morning”. After the long walk, and mostly after Susan, I did not have much left.

“No Honey. That’s not what I want right now. I need to talk to about something and I need to get it out now”.

“Okay, but give me a shake if I fall asleep”.

“Have you thought about the possibility that we might be the only people left”?

Oh no, we are going to get philosophical. I’m too tired for that. I tried to stifle a yawn but was unsuccessful. “Sure mom. I’ve thought of that. I’m the one that has been out looking for signs of people. I’ve been watching the town, the freeway and local roads. No one. No sign of fires, even in winter. No answer on the radio when we broadcast and we don’t hear anything from anyone else and we have a huge range. Yes, I think about it”.

Mom’s face brightened up. “I’ve really given this a lot of thought while you were gone. I think we need to do something about this. We have been really lucky so far. We have all been healthy and safe from accidents but we cannot count on that forever. Attrition will take its toll on us at some point. Sickness and accidents are bound to happen. We have very limited medicine and no doctors”.

“I try not to think about that. What are you getting at mom”?

“How long can we last? When we are gone that will be it”. She looked down for a moment and then back up at me. “We need to help this situation, change were we are headed”.

“What do you mean? I don’t know anything about medicine. We could try and go down to the town and see what is there. I don’t know if it would still be good after all this time, and the big question is, is the virus still there”?

“Honey that is not what I meant. There is going to be seven of us. We need more people”.

“How are we going to get more people? I’ve been watching and I’ve seen no one”. What did she say? “What do you mean seven of us? There are only six of us”.

“Well that is one of the things that I wanted to talk to you about. I’m pregnant”.

My jaw dropped. “You’re what? How did that happen”?

Mom smiled and tilted her head a bit and just looked at me.

“Oh yeh. I forgot”. How could I be so stupid. “That is so cool”. Then I remembered. “What are the girls going to say”?

“Let’s not worry about that right now. We still have something else to talk about”. She seemed really nervous. Before I could say anything she continued, “We need more people or we are going to die out. My getting pregnant gave me the answer”.

Now maybe if I had not been walking all day I would have caught on quicker. So I just went ahead and stepped in, “That increases us by one but I don’t see how that helps much”.

“You are right Danny. Adding one every year or so does not help us much”. I could see mom was giving me time to figure this out but I was just not up to the task. The news of mom being pregnant had given me a shot of adrenaline but it was long past now. My brain was in a very low gear.

Seeing I was not connecting the dots mom continued, “Danny, there are five of us.
