I Loved your Mother
Synopsis: Gerry returns to Spring Ridge after many years in prison. He is part of a dark family secret.
Spring Ridge — 1980
Camille cried as she stood at the grave. Her friend Bunny thought at one stage Camille was going to faint, and fall in on top of her mother’s lowered coffin.
Mary-Sue Henning was put to rest
There were many friends there from school for Camille. Not much others. And, not much family.
Camille had always noticed a certain distance kept by some of the older folk. She sensed that they didn’t quite accept her.
Pastor Wilkins said his words. He went to her and shook her hand and gave her a few words of comfort.
Some noticed the stranger standing in the distance.
“What is it, Pastor?” Camille asked as she noticed his stares
“I don’t believe it”
“What?”
“Gerry Henning” he spat, “After all these years!”
“Gerry?”
“Your uncle, Mary-Sue’s brother”
“Where?” he asked excited
Then she saw him too.
The Pastor grabbed her arm firmly “He is bad news” the Pastor warned her in grave terms
“I have an uncle?” Camille skipped on the spot
“Where has he been?” Bunny Anderson thought to ask
The Pastor turned to her… “Prison” he said bluntly
“Prison?” Camille asked
“What did he do?” Bunny asked
“I…” the Pastor said releasing Camille and turning away “I don’t want to talk about it”
“I have an uncle?” Camille said to Bunny
“You heard the Pastor” Bunny warned… she’d sensed the massive ill-at-ease she sensed from Pastor Wilkins
“He’s the only family I’ve got that turned up” Camille said, “I must at least go talk to him…”
“I’ll come with you” Bunny said
“No…” Camille said firmly and she moved through the small group of people and went over to her uncle.
Bunny watched, intensively.
“Who was that?” Sue-Ellen asked her daughter as she came up to her.
“That is Camille’s uncle”
“Oh, really?” Sue-Ellen smiled, “I’ve not seen him since before you were born”
Bunny ignored her mom. She watched as Camille went over to him. They shook hands. Held hands for an awfully long time. And then Camille embraced him.
Bunny watched as her friend jumped up into his arms, and wrapped her legs around him. She was shocked. Especially as Camille kissed him on the lips.
She went over, despite not being family.
When she got there they were still embraced. Camille was planting kisses all over Gerry’s face.
Gerry it was her noticed Bunny. “Er… who is this?” he asked
He set Camille to the ground
“This is my friend Jane “Bunny” Anderson” Camille said, her face beaming a massive smile
Gerry offered his hand
Bunny did not accept as she watched him warily.
“Don’t be rude” Camille said, “Take his hand”
Bunny folded her hands behind her back.
“It’s alright” Gerry smiled, “I’m glad to meet you anyway”
“Uncle Gerry’s coming to live with me” Camille said as she turned to stand beside him, they were hand in hand
“What?”
“Maybe for a little while” Gerry added
“No, you must stay with me forever” Camille gasped. She seemed very concerned
“We’ll see” he smiled
And, Camille relaxed
Bunny couldn’t believe it… how her friend was reacting. It was… almost as if Camille was in love with him.
“So, why were you in prison?” she asked bluntly
“Bunny!” Camille growled crossly
“No… it’s alight….” Gerry said, “I did something bad… almost twenty years ago…”
“What?”
“Ah, I hurt someone close to me…” he said circumspectly
Bunny could tell he was going to be evasive
“Come Uncle Gerry” Camille said, pulling him by the hand
As they went she turned and gave a sneer to Bunny… she obviously didn’t care for her friend’s questions.
Camille introduced Gerry to some of her friends and, after a while she insisted that they go home. Gerry said he had some stuff a locker near-by that he had to get first.
Bunny watched intently the whole time. She didn’t like Gerry one bit.
She went up to Camille’s car to say good-bye only to see Camille straddled her uncle in the front seat.
Bunny was horrified as she watched them kiss.
Gerry’s hand kneading Camille’s breast!
Bunny went back to her own car quickly
She got in and drove and made sure to ‘nudge’ Camille’s car
Camille jumped out to see what had happened. She raced around to check her rear-end
“Sorry” Bunny apologised as she backed a little
Camille and then Gerry had a look
“You should be more careful”! Camille growled
Gerry ran his hand along the fender “It’s fine” he said
“But she…”
“It’s fine…” he said
“Yes” Camille said
“We should be going”
“Yes” Camille said
Bunny was so annoyed.
Lorraine was surprised to see Bunny Anderson there.
She’d not seen the buxom blonde in the library…. ever.
Bunny was navigating through micro-film
“Is there anything I can help you with?” she asked
“I’m looking for court cases involving a man called Gerry Henning”
“Gerry Henning” Lorraine said “That name is so familiar”
“It’s from almost twenty years ago..” Bunny added as if that might help
“Gerry Henning!” Lorraine gasped as she personally remembered the case
“You know it?”
“Everyone knows that!” Lorraine trembled
“What happened?”
“Why do you need to know…?”
“School assignment” Bunny lied
“Oh…?” Lorraine gasped “Ah… well… it’s no secret… Gerry was accused of raping his sister Mary-Sue. Mary-Sue was in the year ahead of me, in fact” Lorraine added.
“He raped her?”
“Yes…” Lorraine added… “She accused him of years of abuse… claimed he had some control over her…”
“Control?”
“Maybe he brain-washed her…. “ Lorraine said “I think he threatened her… don’t believe any of this ‘mind-control’ rubbish”
“So what happened?”
“Well it seems that they were in a car accident and when she woke up in Springtown General she rambled on about how her brother had been controlling her”
“So the accident broke his control?”
“If you believe that… I just think that as she was finally separated from him she felt she could tell people about what he was doing to her…”
“What happened then?”
“Well the Springtown Police got a warrant and they arrested him, took him to Springtown and the court cast only went about a week…”
“Oh?”
“Yeah, and Mary-Sue was pregnant!”
“Pregnant?”
“Yeah… she ended up giving birth to a baby girl… I’m not sure what happened to that child… I think she should have put that child up for adoption”
“Camille?” Bunny gasped
“Who?”
“That was her name”
“Was it?” Lorraine asked
“Look…” Lorraine added “I can draw up the tapes from that era…”
“No…” Bunny said as she rose from her seat “No need… I have all the information I want”
“But it won’t take a moment…” Lorraine said
“No… thank you… I’m right” Bunny said as she walked away
Lorraine huffed as she was left in her small, quiet library.
Bunny thought about the danger her friend was in. “Uncle” Gerry was in fact Camille’s father.
Bunny decided she’d have to warn Camille.
She drove to the Henning farm as fast as she dared.
She went to the front door and it was locked. That was unusual. In those parts most folk had their doors unlocked.
She banged on the screen door.
Moments later the main door opened. Camille was there, in her Chinese silk robe… only it was open and she was naked underneath
Bunny also noticed that Camille had shaven her bush. She stared for a moment… she’d not seen a hairless cunny … ever.
“Camille?” she gasped
“What?” Camille snapped coldly
“Can I come in?”
“No”
“But… I need to talk to you…”
“About what?”
“Please…can I come in?”
“No….” Camille said “Say what you want here”
“It’s… it’s about Gerry?”
“Uncle Gerry?”
“Who else?” Bunny said a bit petered by such a stupid question
“What about him?”
“He… he’s not your uncle…”
“What do you mean…?”
“I think…. I think he’s your father”
“I know that”
“You know?”
“He told me”
“He told you?”
“Yes” Camille said “He told me everything”
“Everything?”
“Yes… how he loved my mother and looked after her but she betrayed him”
“Betrayed him?”
“Yes…” Camille said angrily “She betrayed her own brother!”
“Who was raping her”
“It wasn’t rape…!” Camille snapped
“How can you say that?”
“They loved each other and… and I’m the product of that love…”
“Your mom was raped… she said so in court”
“She… she lied” Camille said
“Why would she lie?”
“She obviously had something wrong with her”
“Your mom?”
“Yes” Camille said, “And Gerry’s come to look after me… just like he looked after her…”
“Looked after?” Bunny gasped…she didn’t like what that implied
“Is there anything else?” Camille asked coldly
“Please… let me in…” Bunny gasped
“Go away”
“What?”
“I said ‘Go Away’” Camille said “I don’t want to see you again”
“What?”
And, to emphasise the point Camille slammed the door, and then Bunny heard two locks clicked into place
She stepped back off the porch and looked up.
She decided to ‘sneak in’. She’d done it a dozen times before when Mary-Sue had grounded her daughter.
Bunny went around back of the house and used the wooden trestle there to scale the wall to the small open window on the top storey
She slithered through… not as easy to do at her age. Much easier when she was just a kid.
She brushed herself down and straightened her clothes and then… to her shock… she heard it…
A low rhythmic grunting
“Ah…. ah…. ah… ah…. ah…”
She followed it to the main bedroom and then to her shock she saw them.
Camille was still in her robe. She sat atop Gerry… who lay there on the main bed.
“Ah…. ah… ah…. “ Camille sighed as she rode him
His hands came up to grab her breasts “Yes, Daddy” she sighed
She rode up and down and then she screamed out in orgasm “Fuck meeeeeee!” she cried as he came in her.
Quickly she slid back off of him, onto her knees as the foot of the bed. She began sucking his cock. “Let me clean if for you, Daddy” she whimpered
Then she stopped “Unless you want to join us too?” she smiled, turning to see Bunny there.
“Come, join us” Sue-Ellen said. Bunny hadn’t seen her mom there
“Mom?” Bunny cried “What are you doing?”
“Didn’t you know?” Gerry said as Sue-Ellen went over to him, knelt down and sucked his cock
“I loved your mother”
“What?”
“You are my daughter too”
“No!” Bunny cried “This isn’t true”
“Come”
He pushed Camille and Sue-Ellen away
“Take my hand” he said, “You’ll understand”
“Get away from me”
“Do it” Sue-Ellen urged
“Yeah” Camille smiled
“No” she said as he neared her.
She backed away
He moved closer
“No” she cried, shaking her head
“Come, my daughter”
“No…” she continued to cry
He reached out, took her hand.
And she felt it… a relief in a way
It washed away from her—her sense of self
She looked at him and suddenly she realised she loved him
She leapt into his arms, her legs wrapped around him as they kissed
“Daddy” she whimpered
