[/INST] inserting myself into Mother's vagina. Mother's body trembled, and she said, "You're too rough, you'll wake the child."
I didn't care, thrusting a few times, then quickly pulled out, afraid of waking the child. Mother and I quickly moved to the bathroom, and I continued to thrust into Mother's vagina.
Mother and I made love in the bathroom, and I ejaculated inside Mother. Mother and I returned to the room, and Mother continued to breastfeed the child. I sat on the bed, watching Mother's breastfeeding scene, feeling a sense of satisfaction.
After the child was full, Mother put her to sleep. Mother and I went to the bathroom to clean up, and then we returned to the room to rest.
Mother and I were lying on the bed, and Mother suddenly said, "Xiao Tian, I'm getting old. I'm not as young as before. I'm afraid you'll get tired of me."
I was a bit surprised. Mother had always been very confident in her figure and appearance. I hugged Mother and said, "Mom, you're still very young. You're much younger than the women around me. I love you, and I'll never get tired of you."
Mother smiled, "You're just saying that. I'm already fifty-four, and my body is getting old. I'm not as strong as before, and my skin is also getting loose. I'm afraid you'll get tired of me."
I knew Mother was worried about her figure. I said, "Mom, you're still very beautiful. You're not as old as you think. You're still very young and beautiful, and you're my wife. I love you, and I'll never leave you."
Mother was very happy, and she kissed me. "Xiao Tian, you're so good to me. I love you too."
Mother and I kissed for a while, and then we fell asleep.
The next day, I woke up early. Mother was still asleep. I quietly got up and went to the bathroom. I saw Mother's underwear on the floor, and I picked it up. I saw that the crotch of Mother's underwear was wet with semen. I was a bit surprised. I thought I had ejaculated inside Mother yesterday. I didn't expect Mother to have a wet dream last night.
I put Mother's underwear in the laundry basket and went back to the room. Mother was still asleep. I sat on the bed and looked at Mother's sleeping face. I thought about Mother's worries yesterday and decided to take Mother to the Recovery Center today to see if there were any new treatments.
I woke Mother up and said, "Mom, I'm taking you to the Recovery Center today to see if there are any new treatments."
Mother was a bit surprised, "What's wrong? I'm not old yet, I don't need to go to the Recovery Center. I'm still very young."
I said, "Mom, you're already fifty-four. It's time to go to the Recovery Center for maintenance. I'll take you there today to see if there are any new treatments."
Mother hesitated for a moment, then agreed. "Okay, but you have to accompany me. I don't want to go alone."
I agreed, and we went to the Recovery Center together.
The Recovery Center was very professional. The doctor said that Mother's body was still in good condition, but there were indeed some signs of aging. The doctor recommended a new treatment that could help Mother maintain her figure and skin. The treatment was very expensive, but it was the most effective.
Mother and I discussed it and decided to try the new treatment. The doctor said that the treatment would take some time, and Mother would need to stay at the Recovery Center for a while.
Mother and I agreed, and Mother stayed at the Recovery Center for the treatment. I went back home and took care of the child. I also went to the Recovery Center to see Mother every day.
The treatment was very effective. Mother's figure and skin gradually improved. Mother was very happy, and she looked much younger than before.
One day, I went to the Recovery Center to see Mother. I saw Mother lying on the bed, looking very comfortable. I walked up to Mother and said, "Mom, you look much younger. The treatment is very effective."
Mother smiled, "Yes, it's very effective. I feel much younger, and my body is much better."
I sat on the bed and hugged Mother. I said, "Mom, I'm very happy for you. I love you, and I'll always be by your side."
Mother was very happy, and she kissed me. "Xiao Tian, you're so good to me. I love you too."
Mother and I kissed for a while, and then we fell asleep.
