Chapter 18

What’s that, someone’s crying. I think it’s Dad. Am I dreaming this or is it really happening? I hear voices but I don’t recognize them. This is so scary. It seems endless. When will I wake up? I don’t even know where I am. Was it days or maybe weeks ago when Jinny was with me. It felt so good. Then it slowly went dark again. You always wake up from dreams right? I don’t want to die. Someone please help me.

Jake held Brad’s hand and watched for a sign that he had any awareness of his surroundings. But, there was nothing. After half an hour, feeling miserable, he left the hospital and drove back to the condo. Jinny and Amy were watching the news when he joined them in the living room. Jinny hadn’t covered up. Her breasts looked even larger, now that she was pregnant and he had a momentary surge of passion but it didn’t last long as he thought about Brad.

“Jake, how is he doing?” Jinny said, sitting there, proudly displaying her tits.

“Not good.” He explained to them what the nurse had to say. “There doesn’t seem to be a lot of hope right now.”

“Fuck, we can’t just give up. Isn’t there anything they can do for him?” she said, putting on a t-shirt.

“Jinny is right, although from what I understand about comas, after a week or so, it is less likely that they will ever recover. There is a study that I read online, by a respected medical researcher that has a graph showing the percentage chance of recovery with time. After two weeks, it is down to less than twenty percent,” said Amy, using her nerdy scientific voice.

“Well then, we should wait. There is still time. We’re not at two weeks yet. I’m going back to the hospital tomorrow morning. Can you please come with me Amy? Maybe between the two of us we can get some sort of response from him.”

“I’d be glad to. I don’t have anything pressing right now at work.”

“Is there anything new on the threat you received?” said Jake.

“I scanned the note and emailed it to my boss. He said that he’d look into it but he didn’t think there was much he could do considering that there was no evidence to confirm who it came from.”

They binge watched several Netflix episodes and then went to bed. They slept together but due to the worry about Brad, there was cuddling but no sexual activity between them.

Jake was first up and made the coffee. He ate a muffin and scanned his emails while the women slept. He had some meetings that morning and was off to work just as Jinny and Amy surfaced. He kissed them both and then headed out the door. He was feeling like shit but life must go on, he thought, joining the slow commute to work.

“Jinny, have you got any idea what might help Brad to gain consciousness?”

“I’m not sure. Maybe just keep talking to him to see if we get some sort of reaction. I have this feeling that he’s somewhat aware of what is going on and if we just keep pushing him to wake up, it might work.”

“Well I suppose it’s worth a try. There are some unusual cases where people wake up years later and nobody knows what triggers it.”

They took the monorail to the hospital and went up to his room. They waited for a few minutes while a nurse freshened him up a bit with a sponge bath. She left the curtains in place when she was finished.

“How is he doing today?” Jinny asked the nurse.

“His vital signs are good but there is still no indication that he’s coming out of the coma. I wish I had better news for you.”

She left and then Jinny and Amy stood on either side of his bed, leaning over close to his ears and started talking to him. They kept at it for ten minutes or so, talking about all kinds of things, his family, the weather, world events and especially his upcoming airport mechanics training course. Nothing.

“Okay, now is the time for drastic action. I think I got some sort of reaction last time so I want to try it again. Are you with me, Amy?”

“I am pretty sure what you are referring to but to be sure, are you suggesting that we suck his penis?” she said, in a hushed voice. “Kind of like resuscitation only instead of mouth to mouth it’s mouth to cock?”

“Hey you made a joke! That’s exactly what I mean.” Jinny said, laughing and peaking through the curtain. The three other patients in the room were sleeping.

“Now’s are chance. I’ll go first.” You keep watch and let me know if you see any staff coming into the room.”

Jinny pulled the covers down and lifted up the hospital gown exposing his cock. She put her hand around it. There was little response at first but after a while it started to grow. When it was at half-mast she started licking the tip and then took some into her mouth. She looked sideways to check out his expression. No change. She moved her lips up and down, while she swirled her tongue around the tip. After about five minutes she beckoned to Amy and then whispered “It’s your turn. Maybe you’ll have better luck.”

Amy got really into it, taking his cock down her throat and then quickly moved up and down on it. Jinny was half looking out through the gap in the curtains and half back at Brad’s face. “Oh my god, his eyes just flickered,” she said, loud enough for the whole room to hear. “Keep going! Oh shit, there’s someone coming down the hall. It’s okay, he walked by.”

Brad suddenly opened his eyes wide, let out a big grunt and yelled “Oh, fuck! Amy?”

“He’s cumming,” Amy said, continuing to suck him deeply. Brad stared at her for a couple of seconds and then closed his eyes.

“Keep sucking him, Amy. Don’t let him go back to sleep!” But it was to no avail. His cock gradually became limp and he was comatose again. They tried talking to him, and then shook him, gradually increasing the intensity, but he was back into a deep sleep.

“This is so fucking frustrating,” Jinny said, with a big sigh. “He was almost there.”

“Yes, I agree. He had that kind of surprised look on his face when he briefly focused on me sucking his penis. That is something I guess he would never think I would do to him.”

“Well I’m certainly not going to give up now. I think he’s possibly only one blowjob away from waking up for good. But now he needs some recharge time. How bout we come back in a few hours and try again?”

“Sounds good to me. I’m going over to the lab for a while. I’ll be back around 3 pm, okay?”

“Sure, I’ll just hang out here. I have to go to work around four. We’ll have time to give him another treatment before I leave.”

“You did what?”

“We gave him blowjobs and he woke up for a few seconds. Isn’t that great?”

“Well I suppose, but just imagine if you got caught by one of the nurses there. You’d be in a lot of trouble.”

“I don’t give a shit about that. I just want to do everything we can to get him out of that bloody coma.”

Jinny and Jake talked for a bit longer on her phone. He finally agreed that everything was on the table if it worked to get a reaction from Brad.

It was hard for Jake to concentrate for the rest of the afternoon. He was in a meeting but was only vaguely aware of what the presenter was saying. He had been convinced that there was virtually no chance for his son, but now by extraordinary means, there seemed to be a ray of hope. Could this possibly work? He decided to leave early and head up to the hospital. He wasn’t going to accomplish much anyways.

Well that was weird. I’m not sure if I’m still dreaming, but it sure looked real seeing Amy sucking my cock. Why would she be doing that? And I think I came. What the fuck. And then everything dimmed and went dark again. Well one thing I’m pretty sure of ... I’m lying in bed. But whose bed and why would there be curtains all around it?
