Chapter 25: Little Brother
*Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory. – Dr. Seuss*
Jaxon was surprised when his mother said that she had a date. JD was shocked and wanted to know everything about the man. The only name that she gave was Reese but not if it was first or last.
It did not surprise anyone when JD showed up at Ty and Bunny’s house Monday night. Having seen their father without the innocent eyes of a child, he did not want her to go back to him. But he also was not sure if he wanted her dating again.
“Bunny, what would you do if your mom started dating a man you didn’t know?” JD asked sitting on the couch with her as Jaxon and Ty cooked dinner.
“Which one?” she asked pausing the video game.
“What?” he asked confused.
Laughing gently, she turned and faced him. “My mom’s are lesbians. My birth mother was married to my father but after he died, she came out of the closet and her girlfriend moved in. I could see her dating another man. But Bridget? Nope. She kicked the door off her closet in high school. Never even considered dating a man.”
“Oh.” He said. “OK, what if your mom started dating another woman?”
“I was about your age when my mom and Bridget got together. I was all kinds of confused and upset. My dad had died of cancer and less than a year later my mom was moving in a woman.”
“You win. At least your dad wasn’t an asshole.”
“He was.” She told him as Jaxon brought them sodas. “Thanks, babe. I just didn’t know he was an asshole. My mom had asked him for a divorce when I was about six, maybe seven. He refused to give her one because he didn’t want people talking about his wife leaving him for a woman.”
“He had a reputation and bullshit like that. Now, don’t go thinking that I’m getting all this strictly from her. He repented on his death bed. Confessed to way more than I wanted to know. I made Ty get a DNA test to confirm we weren’t related because my dad may have fathered some children.”
“Two that we know of.” Ty yelled from the kitchen.
“Seriously?”
She smirked and nodded at the teen. “Afraid so. What you’re feeling, it’s all normal. Your mom has done great with herself in the last, what six weeks, that she’s been going to the center. Maybe you should consider coming down and talking to someone.”
“Dinners ready and yes, therapy is always the answer for the counselor.” Ty said as he and Jaxon put the food on the table. “Come get it while it’s hot, tacos are better that way.”
“I thought tacos were on Tuesday.” JD joked as they all moved to the table.
“I work tomorrow, so taco Tuesday on Monday.” Ty replied as he began fixing his plate.
“If it involves anything other than the microwave or dumping a prepackaged meal into a crock pot, I’m not allowed to do it. I just show up for the food.”
“It’s true. She cannot cook.” Jaxon told his brother.
“We forgive her.” Ty smiled at his wife. “She has other talents.”
“Sex. I’m really good at sex.” Bunny said and all three men looked at her in shock. She shrugged and began to make herself a plate.
“What? I suck at cleaning. The last time I did laundry you both had to get new uniforms. I can’t mow the lawn in a straight line. Oh, and the only plants that I can keep alive are plastic. But I am damn good at sucking a dick.”
Ty and Jaxon looked at each other. “She’s not wrong.” Ty pointed out and Jaxon agreed.
“Do I want to know how my brother knows that your wife is good at sucking dick?” JD asked.
“I have a bit of a voyeur fetish.” Ty admitted.
“And I like-.”
“That’s my brother.” Jaxon reminded her as Ty said her name in warning.
“- being watched.”
“Way more than I need to know.”
“We could talk about your mom’s sex life.” Bunny suggested with a grin.
“NO!” both brothers said emphatically.
Ty chuckled as his wife mixed guacamole, sour cream and Chipotle sauce together.
“OK, yours.” Bunny replied running a chip through her concocted dip.
“Mine?” JD asked with his eyes going wide.
“Unless you would rather hear about your brothers?” she suggested, making a soft taco.
“Bunny.” Jaxon warned.
“No. I don’t want to hear about you and him. Or you and them. And I certainly don’t want to hear about him and him.”
The two men looked at each other.
“Told you.” She smirked before taking a bite.
“Wait! I was just kidding.” JD said, blushing.
“Well, I, uh…. I’m bi.” Jaxon admitted.
“Me, too.” Ty smirked.
“I’m not.” Bunny laughed. “I just like -.”
“BUNNY!” all three yelled to cut her off.
She calmly smiled at them. “Watching them. Being between them. Being under them.”
“Bunny Kaitlyn.” Ty hissed.
“I’m horny!”
"We noticed." Jaxon said dryly.
“I’m not sticking around for a live porn show.” JD shook his head and then looked at his brother. “If you’re happy, I don’t care what you do or with who.”
“So why is your mom different?” Ty asked.
“Because she’s mom.” The brothers responded.
Bunny arched an eyebrow at them. Jaxon hung his head and sighed.
“It’s not.” He murmured.
JD shook his head.
“Are you a virgin?” Ty asked him.
“No.” the teen answered.
“You like sex?” his brother asked.
“Well, yeah. Doesn’t mean I want to think about my mom having sex.”
“You don’t have to. Just accept that it might happen.” Bunny grinned. “And don’t judge.”
