Upside Down 46 Chapter 44: Airi & Pt Part 1

One saving grace about the whole walk and how long we were out is I was exhausted when we got back. Chinatsu insisted that we still sleep nude which I didn't mind at all, until we spent a half an hour making out. That was a wonderful session, but it just about got us in trouble. Had I not been so tired, it would've been extremely hard to resist going even further. So, since we both have a rather high libido, I think taking long walks in the evening might very well be a new thing for us for the next few days.

Which bring us to Wednesday morning. I wake up when someone sits on the bed beside me. Glancing at the clock, I see it's still early and I do mean early, as in at 5 in the morning. Even Mama shouldn't normally be up at this time of day, but here she is for some reason.

"Good morning Mama. Did you need me?" I whisper, trying to not wake up Chinatsu.

She shakes her head, whispering back, "Good morning Sora. No, I simply wanted to check on you. Sorry, I woke you up."

I realize if this was most any other family, this would already be at the screaming and crying stage for both parties involved, but you should already know we're far outside the norm. Why do I say this? Because both of us girls are nude. My quilt is in the floor, so the only thing remotely covering me is my sister. I'm not shy, being nude around my mama doesn't bother me, so her looking me over doesn't make me even blush. It kind of feels like she's making sure I'm really alright.

"Mmkay. Mama, please don't worry, I really am fine. I know that's easier said than done, but I'm a lot tougher than I look."

I pause for a few moments looking at her thoughtfully. I have no idea how I lucked out to have her and Dad as my parents, but I'm extremely grateful they are.

Gently, I move Chinatsu off of me, so I can sit up. Once I do, I lay my head against Mama's breast and wrap my arms around her waist.

"Sora, you're my daughter. I'll be worried about you when you're 1000 years old. That's simply how it is."

"Thank you Mama. I…" I trail off what I was saying when it hits me what she said. "Mama, you're infected too, aren't you?"

She kisses the top of my head, "Mhmm. It happened the day the house was attacked. I'm fine and the babies are fine. It seems your nanites like me and your little sisters. They're taking good care of us."

I lean back to look into her eyes and quietly ask, "You aren't upset?"

"No sweetheart. Why should I be? They didn't hurt us. In fact, Dr. Sato said they'll be the healthiest babies ever born. He also said I should recover in at most in a day or two after the birth instead of weeks. This also means I will be around for a long, long time. The sad part is I'll have to watch the man I love grow old and die, but there's good in this too because I'll be here for my four girls and any other children I have."

"Mama, thank you. I don't know how I lucked out in having Dad and you as my parents, but I'm extremely happy and grateful you are. I do wish you weren't so overprotective, but I know you do it because you love me."

She chuckles softly and tells me, "Sora, you aren't indestructible. You have this habit of acting first and thinking later. I would truly love it if you could moderate that trait. It makes me worry a lot, so yes, I suppose I am overprotective of you. You also have a bad habit of thinking about yourself last."

"Mama, according to the copy of the report about my nanites Dad gave me, I almost am. I could have an arm cut off and it would be regrown by my nanites. Although I don't even want to find out how painful that would be, it was bad enough when they made my b.o.o.bs and hips bigger. I'm curious though. Why are you up so early?"

"You're father is going in early today. He has to go see Mitty this afternoon to work out the transfer of the stocks your mother and father had." She chuckles softly. "You were already a wealthy girl, but now, well, let's just say you'll never have to work or worry about money."

"Mama, you ought to know I don't really care about that. I wish that you and Dad would take and use some of it for whatever you want. That money is my family's and I would like to see it used to make us happy. Buy new cars, buy us a bigger house, buy clothes or jewelry. I don't care."

I place my hand on her abdomen. "We have two more members of our family joining us in a few months, so a bigger house makes sense. Umm, Mama? Did Dad tell you that you'll get pregnant if you have s.e.x and aren't already carrying a baby? The report said the nanites carry the sperm to the egg to make sure of it."

"Yes, he did. Thankfully, it means no more fertility drugs for me. Many times when I told you girls I was going shopping, I actually went to a fertility clinic. Your father and I have wanted more children for a long time. I've always wanted a large family. One of my friends in junior high had five brothers and sisters. I loved going to her house, it was always so lively."

I giggle quitely, "There's no problem now with having lots of children. I promise I'll be a good big sister to all of them. The only issue is having rooms for all of them, so let's buy a new, bigger house. Oh! Better yet, we can have one built the way we want. One thing is I could use a larger closet. A bigger bed wouldn't hurt either. What do you think?"

"That's something we can talk to your father about. It's a good idea though. Sora, I'll try to not be so overprotective of you, but I worry about you... Would you like to help me make breakfast and pack a lunch box for your father?"

"I would, thank you. I thought for sure you wouldn't allow me to do anything to help out for a while. I need to put something on and at least put my hair up. Would you mind helping me?"

"You know, this is the first time you've asked me for my help. I'd be happy to."

Mama moves so I can get up and dress. Once I put on a bra, panties and nightgown. Mama brushes my hair to smooth it out, gathers it up into a ponytail, and puts a white bow adorned hair clip in place. Up like this my hair falls midway down my thighs.

"Mama?"

"Yes sweetheart?"

"Why won't you let me get my hair cut?"

"Sora, I told you before, you have beautiful hair and long hair suits you best. Oh I almost forgot, we'll need to go to the salon Sunday morning. We'll be having our hair done. I think we'll have an updo done for all of us. There's a client of your father's that we have to attend a party he's having that evening."

"Okay, that's fine. It's gives me a chance to show off in the cape dress you ordered me. About my hair though. I don't mind long hair, even though it's a pain to deal with, but can I at least have it trimmed to my waist? It really hurts when I sit on it."

She shakes her head. "No Sora, you can't. You might not see how well it suits you and you might think it's a pain, but you'll not be cutting your hair. How often am I wrong about these things? As a matter of fact, your sister will not be getting her hair cut either. I have no idea how you got her to wear it down, but thank you for doing it. I've been trying for years to convince her to do so."

I smile. "I didn't really do anything. I simply told her I liked it that way and she said she'd wear it that way for me."

"Thank you anyway. Let's go make your father his breakfast and lunch."

We quietly leave the room and I close the door as we head to the kitchen. Once we get there, Mama asks me to start some miso. I set a pot with water on the stove to heat and begin dicing the tofu.

Suddenly, I gasp as terror rips it's way through me. I'm completely freaked out.. Airi said I was likely to have PTSD from the attack, but just whoa! I never expected anything like this. I know nothing is about to happen, but tell my body that. I'm frozen in place and shaking like a leaf with tears endlessly streaming down my cheeks, if that tells you anything.

Mama takes the knife out if my hand, lays it on the counter, envelops me within her arms while I cling to her as if my life depended on it. She gently rubs my back while softly whispering, "It's okay. I've got you. You're safe. Nothing's going to happen."

It's going to require some time, but her gentle touch and soft, velvety voice will eventually calm me down. I've told you before she's a wonderful mama and has always been able to calm me down. I truly am a very lucky girl to have parents like this.

The really freaky part of all this is when Chinatsu comes barreling into the kitchen nude less than a minute after this asking, "What's wrong with Sornee?" She took one look at me and immediately wraps herself around me from behind.

I hadn't made a sound that could've woken her, but when it comes to what I'm thinking or feeling, I truly believe that she's psychic. Kinda wild that she's knows something's up with me even when she's asleep.

Surrounded by her and Mama, it was very warm, very comforting, and I felt safe for the first time since this episode began.

Unfortunately, the result of this is it took far too long for me to calm down and we were unable to make Dad's breakfast and lunch for him before he had to leave. Chinatsu didn't even bat an eye when Dad came through. Honestly, I doubt it even occurred to her she was still nude.

"Chinatsu, thank you, but you might want to get dressed." I tell her after Dad leaves.

She looks confused for a moment, then looks down at herself and chuckles. "I was in too much of a hurry I guess. I woke up because I felt something was wrong and you weren't there, so I jumped out if bed and went looking for you. I didn't even think about it at the time." She shakes her head slightly while grinning sheepishly and she says, "I'll be back in a few minutes." then leaves the room.

I laugh self-deprecatingly. "Well, I definitely have something to talk to Airi about today."

"Sora, please don't do that. You can't help what happened, so don't mock yourself like that. We've talked about this before." She says sadly.

"Sorry Mama. You know, Sora offered to help, but I think it might be best if I do this on my own. Yes, it's really scary, but if I work through this I might very well come out of it a little stronger…" At least, I sure hope so. I sigh and turn to her, "Mama, can I have another hug?"

"Of course, you never need to ask me something like that. Sora, you to know you can always come to me if you have a problem. I'll help anyway I can."

I wrap my arms around her, rest my head against her shoulder and murmur, "Thank you Mama. I really appreciate it." Then I have a random thought that pops into my head. "Mama, have you picked out names for my sisters yet?"

"No, we haven't given it much thought."

"How about Eri and Kaede then?" I've no idea why this subject popped up into my mind, but it's better than dwelling on what happened.

"Eri and Kaede? Cute names. I'll talk to your father about it, but I like them." She tells me while squeezing me tighter for a moment.

"Mama, why don't we leave early and go eat breakfast somewhere before my appointment? My treat, but let's make it somewhere that has waffles. How does that sound?"

"Okay, as long as you're sure you're up to doing that, I don't mind at all. I'm sure Honoka and Chinatsu would like it as well."

"Umm… I think I'm alright. What I mean is, I'm not freaking out right now. Probably doing the same things as when the attack happened triggered it. Uh, one other thing, I need something to work out in for physical therapy. I don't really want to show my panties to everyone. Can we go find me something suitable?"

"Of course. I hadn't even thought of that."

"I had yesterday, but you know." I laugh lighty, trying to play off the seriousness of what had happened. I really don't want to worry my parents anymore than they already are. Of course, it didn't work and I got a look for even trying.

Giving Mama a final squeeze, I head back upstairs to wake up Honoka, do my morning routine with Chinatsu, and get dressed.

After waking Honoka, I went to Chinatsu's room, hug, kiss, "Good morning. I love you," on both of our parts. We also decided to go pure white for today.

I've got a super cute pure white one-piece mini dress. Another one that Mama ordered me after the fact. I'm not complaining though, as I said it's really cute. It has a lace top which comes down to the top of my b.o.o.bs, and full lace back all the way to my waist with 5cm of lace along the bottom of the skirt. The top is kinda form fitting. As I said it's really cute. The bad thing about this dress is, you got it, I have to wear an adhesive bra again. Some girls might not care if they show their bra straps, but I think it's trashy to do so. Add to this a pair of red ankle strap heels and some white stockings and I'm ready to go. I'm going to be lazy and leave my hair the way Mama put it up.

Chinatsu chooses a white silk spaghetti strap halter top, a white ruffled mini skirt, white stockings and black heels. When we go to Honoka's room, she is standing there in the pair of shorts and t-shirt she uses for pajamas, looking at her closet with an anxious expression bordering on despair. Chinatsu announces she should match us and chooses a white sleeveless b.u.t.ton up blouse, white mid-length pleated skirt, white stockings and her black strappy sandals. Obviously, we still have a lot of work ahead of us helping her gain a fashion sense.

Breakfast is at a family restaurant called Benny's. They have a huge menu to choose from so I love the place. I used to eat here a lot. My enjoyment of our meal isn't not what it should have been, because this creepy old man across from us keeps staring us. Yes, I know we are cute, but that is just gross. He keeps it up until Honoka went to ask him if he had a problem, which brings all this to the attention of the manager. This leads to his being escorted out for bothering other guests. Apparently, it's not the first time this has happened. Why they keep letting him back in is beyond me. The really sad thing is, I love waffles and I didn't really enjoy them this time.

Which leads to shopping for a workout outfit for me. I end up with a sport bra and panty set, yellow with purple trim workout skort and a fairly tight fitting yellow top. They're comfortable though and that's the main thing. Costly things too, as the top and bottom cost me ¥23,491.

Now the only thing left is my appointments with Airi and physical therapy. I hope they don't try to kill me in them.
