Momma's Trauma

(AUTHOR'S NOTE: Read my stories in order of upload if you want them to make any sense. Each upload is a continuation of the last. Momma's Pregnant Part Two contains the backstory being referenced in this chapter.)

Courtney was around twelve weeks pregnant now and her baby bump was starting to show. Phillip had quit his job at the call center after his car got bashed in, so she didn't have to worry about seeing him at work anymore either. Corey had broken the news to his mom that he broke up with Camille, so now it was like the mother and son were truly a couple. Corey had stopped sleeping in his own bed and they were in the middle of turning his bedroom into a nursery. It broke Courtney's heart to see her son's room become more and more empty as he packed everything away for when he had to move into his apartment. But he tried his best to keep her distracted. They at least still had some time left together before he officially had to leave, and he made sure to make it count. He'd been taking his mom out on more dates and accompanying her to all the baby appointments. Today they were going in for the ultrasound that would tell them the gender of their baby.

The two were currently sitting in the clinic's waiting room for their turn to be called. Corey was playing Clash Royale on his phone while slumped down in his chair and Courtney was skimming pages of one of the magazines she grabbed off the table. She feels her phone buzz while in her pocket and she pulls it out to check. Her mother was calling for the third time today. Courtney avoided all contact with her mom as much as she could, so she ignored it just like she'd done with the two previous. Then both of their heads lift up when a nurse opens the door to the hallway and calls her name and they follow her to the ultrasound room. Corey plops himself down on the chair next to the ultrasound table where his mom adjusts herself.

"Great to see you again." She notices that Phillip wasn't with her now or the appointment before, but she doesn't mention it. "Ready to find out the baby's sex today?" She grabs the belly jelly and Courtney rolls up her top so the technician could spread it over her.

"So ready!" Courtney beams and wiggles in her seat excitedly then shivers when the cold gel touches her skin.

The technician spreads the jelly around with the wand and adjusts the monitor. "Glad to hear it!" She then looks to Corey. "I bet you're excited to finally be a big brother, huh?"

Corey grins. "Maybe a little." He winks at his mom but the technician doesn't notice. The wand massages around her stomach for a while until an image finally appears in front of them on the screen.

"There ya are." The technician smiles. On the screen was a greyscale fetus, no bigger than a lemon. They could see its limbs and little nose. The heartbeat was like music to Corey's ears. "Your baby likes to hide." She moves the wand to the side of her stomach to try and get a better view.

Courtney kept a tight grip on her son's hand and he squeezed back. Neither of them knew what to expect. Courtney never thought about what it would be like to have a daughter before, even when she was a kid she always imagined having a son. Corey on the other hand was up tossing and turning in bed last night thinking of both possibilities of having a son or a daughter. He couldn't settle on which one he wanted more, but he was eager to find out anyway.

"It looks like..." The wand moves around some more and the mother and son hold their breath. "You got yourself another boy." The technician smiles at them both. "Congratulations!"

Corey laughs excitedly and tries to reel in his reaction until they were alone. Courtney was in shock at first. Another boy, a little brother and a son for Corey. He was going to have a son to teach baseball and play videogames with, a mini version of him. It gave her small flashbacks of when Corey was little. He was so rowdy and getting into trouble all the time. If their baby was going to be anything like him then she was in for a handful, again. Courtney smiles at Corey and kisses his head. It took a lot for them to not kiss each other then and there, but there would be time for that back at the house where they didn't have to hide their love for each other.

"We won't have to see you back here again until your second trimester. From the looks of it, you'll be due around mid August. A Leo baby!" Corey was an Aries baby and Courtney was a Taurus. Dale however was a Leo, so she had a slight idea of the traits the baby might carry. "You can retrieve your sonograms up front." She hands Courtney a rag to wipe her belly. She then waves to them both before exiting the room and shuts the door behind her.

As soon as the door closes Corey kisses his mother deeply and holds her face. Courtney giggles and kisses him back before quickly pulling away. "Baby! Not here." She whispers but Corey didn't care right now, he loved his momma so much and was so happy she was carrying their son. He had no idea his baby was starting to look like a person already and it made everything feel more real.

He then kisses down on the side of her stomach. "Hey, buddy." He whispers to her belly. Courtney pets the top of his head and lets him have his moment with their son. The baby wasn't big enough to start feeling him kick or swim around yet but seeing him in there was more than enough until then. Corey puts his ear up to her stomach to see if he could hear anything. He could only hear his mother's breathing and a similar sound to being under water.

Courtney twirls his hair in her fingers. "Y'know, if you keep talking to him he'll know your voice." She leans back while remembering when she was pregnant with Corey. "Your dad would play you his favorite albums and read to you." Corey lifts up his head and kisses her wrist. This gave him some ideas on how he could interact with his son during pregnancy, he had a bunch of music he could share and tell him about each winning baseball game. He couldn't wait to finally meet his boy.

"We should start thinking of some names." He kisses each of her fingers and it makes her blush. Courtney hadn't considered any names yet but she was more interested in any ideas Corey would come up with first. Letting him name their son just felt right.

She kisses his head. "We gotta get out of here before you get us into trouble." She spoke in a hushed voice and they shared another secret kiss before getting ready to leave. They picked up their ultrasound prints at the front then headed into Corey's car.

While driving home, Courtney kept admiring the photos of their son. There he was, small but real. He looked almost like a gummy bear with his tiny little arms and legs. She couldn't wait to kiss his toes and have his hands hold onto her finger. Corey caught a glimpse of his mom fawning over their baby and it makes him feel warm. He reaches over and holds her hand.

"So... What about Tobias? Toby for short?" He gave her hand a squeeze. It was the first name he could come up with so far, he liked the ring to it. 'Tobias Webber'. They'd still need a middle name but it was a start.

His mom takes a moment to think about it. "Tobias... It's a little biblical, but Toby is cute."

"Biblical?" Corey looked at her then back at the road and half laughs. "What do we know about the Bible?" She doesn't laugh along and instead clears her throat.

"Toby..." She says it out loud just to hear what it sounds like.

Corey couldn't really read her reaction, she seemed really in her head but he doesn't pry. "Have I told you just how sexy you are carrying my baby?" His hand moves from her hand to her thigh. Seeing her baby bump start to show made him weak in the knees. All he wanted to do was worship and pamper her. He couldn't keep his hands off of her for the past few weeks; granted they were always intimate but it was becoming a daily thing, sometimes multiple times a day. And it was never about him, he wanted his mom to feel good. As long as she came then he was doing his part.

Courtney grins and rubs his arm. "Several times." Almost every chance he got, Corey was pouncing on her. She thought it was cute but it made her so worn out afterwards. He was pumped full of teenage hormones and she could barely keep up. If he came once already, he was up and ready to go again within minutes. He could go all day long if she let him. Now that they were sharing the same bed, each morning started off with sleepy sex. He'd spoon her then slip it in when she was finally awake and hold her belly from behind as they'd fuck. This morning he wanted to go another round and nearly made them late for their appointment.

She spreads her legs further apart and his fingers creep closer to her crotch and slip under her jeans. Courtney bites her lip when his index and middle finger start to massage her sweet spot. Corey makes a turn to take the long way home on the back roads so they have more time to kill. He was about to move her panties to the side but then she unbuckles her seatbelt and repositions herself in her seat.

Corey raises an eyebrow but doesn't look away from the road. "What are you-" He jumps when his pants begin to be unzipped then she leans down towards his lap. "Whoa- hey!" He laughs and leans back further into his seat. "Are you sure?" He wasn't expecting this but he wasn't against it.

"I'm sure." She kisses his stomach then rubs her hand over his crotch. His bulge pulses at her touch and begins to grow bigger for her. Corey places a hand on her head to pet her with approval. His whole body reacts to his mom's touch as she starts pulling him out of his boxers. He swallows the spit in his mouth when she kisses his tip and it makes his erection pulse again. Precum already began to drip down in anticipation and his mother smiles. "So eager." She kisses it again before licking up the side of his length.

He shivers and his cheeks burn red. "Well, it's been a while..." He gasps when he feels the warmth and wetness of her mouth take him all in. He grunts out a moan and his grip of her hair tightens. "Fuck..." He whispers under his breath as she starts to bob her head. Courtney kept her eyes closed and made sure to lick him all over while taking him down her throat. She made sure not to go too far down to avoid gagging and triggering her pregnancy nausea. She then grabs a hold of his balls with her hand and begins to massage them over. Corey breathes deeply and can't help but shift his hips around. Her mouth felt almost as good as being inside of her but just not as tight. And she was so much better at giving him head than his ex. Each stroke of her tongue was ecstasy. He wanted so desperately to start bucking his hips forward but he didn't want her gagging either.

He grips the steering wheel so hard that his knuckles pop and he slowly inches closer to cumming. "Shit, momma..." He sighs out and leans his head back against the headrest. Courtney starts moving her head faster and swirls her tongue around the head of his cock. She squeezes his sack once and hears her son gasp loudly, then her mouth gets flooded with his hot load. He shoves his hips upward as he cums, his legs almost shaking. She doesn't pull away until he's all done and completely drained empty. Corey laughs again as she lifts her head up and sighs out. "Here, don't swallow." He grabs an empty water bottle that was beside him and hands it over. Courtney takes it and twists the cap off before spitting everything into the bottle then wipes her mouth. She twists the cap back on then kisses his cheek.

When they arrive back home, Corey tosses out the cum bottle then heads inside with his mom to get back to setting up the nursery while Courtney gets started on making lunch. The bassinet was already put together so right now Corey was assembling the changing table he had gotten her. Now that they knew they were having a boy, he was excited to start making the room look more boyish. He wanted to go all out for his son and spoil him just as much as he was spoiling their mom.

While Courtney was cutting up the head of lettuce, she felt her phone vibrate again. She didn't have to guess to know that it was her mother calling for the fourth time in a row, and she wasn't going to let up until she finally answered. She sighs out heavily before taking her phone out. She stares at it for a moment before anxiously answering, then Corey comes into the kitchen to grab himself a drink.

She takes another deep breath before speaking. "... Hey momma." Corey looks over after cracking open a soda and taking a sip. He was surprised that his grandmother was calling and even more surprised that his mom answered. He could hear her voice on the other end and couldn't make out exactly what was being said, but she could tell she sounded emotional. "Wait- what? What's going on??" His mother stops what she's doing and puts her hand on the counter to hold herself still. "Momma, calm down. I can't understand-" She's cut off by more frantic muffled talking. Courtney pauses and stops moving then slowly runs her hand through her hair, and stays silent as she listens to her crying mother. She then sighs and pauses in between to let her mother talk. "Okay... Okay, momma. Yeah, I'll be there... I'll start heading down as soon as I can... Right... I'll see you then..." She puts the phone against her shoulder and lifts up her head to take a moment then holds it back to her ear. "I'm sorry, momma. It'll be okay... Bye." She hangs up the call and tosses her phone to the counter then just stands there staring down at the cutting board.

"... What did grandma say?" Courtney jumps at her son's voice then turns to face him. Corey could tell something was wrong and his face showed concern.

She clears her throat and moves her hair out of her face. "Um." She thought about how to word it, but Corey wasn't a kid so she didn't have to sugarcoat it for him. "Your uncle Matthew shot himself. The funeral is in two days and they want me to be there." She didn't have much emotion or reaction in the way she spoke. The two siblings weren't ever close, they barely spoke while living under the same roof and never maintained a relationship as adults. Corey had only met him a few times but he was too small to even remember, so he didn't feel much upon learning the news either.

"Shit..." He rubs his neck and frowns. "Are you okay?" He sets his drink down and walks towards her in case she needed comfort.

Courtney nods and even though she was fine, she pulls him close anyway. "Yeah, I'm okay." She kisses his chest. "I'm gonna have to leave tonight though..." Her thoughts trailed off to what she'd have to pack.

Corey rubs her arms and looks down at her. "... Do you want me to go with you?"

She looks up and her eyes grew soft. "... Yeah... Please?" Courtney really didn't want to go back to her hometown, she was hoping that she'd never have to set foot back there but now that she had to she didn't want to do it alone.

He kisses the top of her head to reassure her. "Of course, don't worry about driving either." He then softly kisses her lips.

His mother sighs and pinches his cheek. "Go ahead and pack a bag then. We're gonna have to be on the road all night if we wanna make it by tomorrow." He nods and they both head off to get ready to leave.

Courtney had to rummage through the back of her closet to find anything appropriate to face her conservative religious parents in that was also funeral friendly. Corey just grabbed the suit he wore to his graduation. He figured his grandparents would be happy to see him too, they hadn't seen him since he was a toddler. They weren't the type to use Facebook or the internet in general, so they had no idea how big and older he was now. And he was going to finally see where his mom and dad grew up, to him this would be an interesting trip.

His mother on the other hand was dreading the whole thing. Not only did she hold years of resentment towards her mother and that town and had unresolved trauma and unfaced demons, but she hadn't told her parents that she was pregnant either. The thought of being pregnant in front of her estranged mother filled her with dread. Her becoming pregnant with Corey was the whole reason she ran away in the first place. Courtney couldn't keep her hands from shaking as she packed everything. There was no use in trying to hide her baby bump since it wasn't so subtle anymore. She'd have no choice but to face the shitty music.

The sun was still out when they finally hit the road but eventually nightfall came and they still had a long way to go. Corey could tell by his mom's demeanor that she wasn't in the mood to make conversation and he didn't really blame her, so he kept the radio at a soft volume to fill the silence. Courtney just stared at the window and thought about what awaited her when they finally arrived. The only thing she had to look forward to was seeing her dad again. Though she had no relationship with her mother or brother, she always loved her father and he always had a soft spot for his little girl too. It broke her heart just as much as his when she left, but he understood why she did it. He never was thrilled about Dale though. He always blamed him for his daughter running away, and never approved of their relationship. He thought Dale was much too old for her when they met. Courtney knew what her mom's reaction would be upon seeing her pregnant, but she wondered what her dad's would be.

Corey yawns and checks the time and how much gas he had left. It was already past two and they'd need to refill the tank soon. "Can you look up the nearest gas station? If I fill it up all the way, we can get there by morning."

Courtney could tell he was getting tired, and so was she. Pulling an all nighter on the road sounded like hell and she didn't want to show up facing her parents feeling worse than she already did. She shakes her head. "We can just stop at a motel for the night and we'll leave again in the morning." She takes out her phone to find the nearest place. Corey was relieved, he really didn't want to keep driving.

Her heart drops when the only motel they were approaching appears on the map, the same place where her mother had taken her all those years ago. She swallows down her feelings but her eyes still held an anxious and stressed look in them, and Corey saw. She rerouted the map to take them there but mentions nothing about it. His mom was acting weird ever since getting the call which would have made sense, but she gave off the same awkward and anxious tension when he had mentioned the Bible earlier today. Something was going on in that head of hers but he wasn't going to force it out of her, he didn't want to stress her out more than she already was.

When they arrived, Courtney only became more visibly uncomfortable. Corey parks then goes around to the back of the car to retrieve their bags as his mom goes to check them into a room. The building was exactly how it was when she was a kid, on the inside and the outside. The closer they got to her hometown the more it felt like she was going back in time. Back to the worst year of her life, back to the worst thing to ever happen to her. Her signature was shaky as she signed and she could barely look the receptionist in the face. She kept her head low and snatched the keys then stormed off to join her son outside and lead the way to their room.

She rushes to the bathroom upon opening the door and Corey sets their bags on the bed. He frowns when he hears his mom start to throw up into the toilet. "You alright?" He calls out while removing his shirt to get ready for bed. He hears the toilet flush and Courtney slumps over to the sink to wash out her mouth.

"Yeah... Just car sick, I guess." She lied. She grabs her toothbrush and toothpaste from her bag and starts cleaning out her mouth thoroughly.
