The atmosphere in Norman's room was gloomy and filled with silence, the oil lamp barely lit up the cheerless space. Just on the foot of his bed sat Norma on a rocker; it's wooden base creaking against the floor as Norma slowly swayed the chair back and forth. She tapped her fingers gently on the armrest, her nervousness and fear still occupies her head, imagining all the possible scenarios of what her son has gone through when Nick Ford kidnapped him. Norma's longing eyes stared at him the whole time he was peacefully sleeping on his bed.

"Norman" Her voice vibrated through out the whole room.

It's 11pm and sleep hasn't come her way yet. Norma looked exhausted, she's famished, and her dress unkempt, the past few days had been a roller coaster ride for her. But now that he's finally here, the last thing she wants is to keep her son away from her sight.

"I'm here Norman. Everything's okay now."

Norma stood, walked towards Norman, and she knelt on the floor beside his bed. Norma placed her right arm on his cheek, gently caressed it with her thumb as she carefully examined the bruises under his left eye. Norman's face was pale, his wounds still fresh and his lips are dry.

"I don't know what I'll do without you. I honestly don't know."

The pain she felt when she was raped by her brother and Keith Summers, the abuse from Norman's dad and Shelby- she managed to endure every single pain inflicted to her and that made her numb. But the emptiness she felt when he was missing was totally unbearable. The thought of Norman being beaten helplessly because of her just crushed her heart into pieces. It was like nothing she has ever felt before. It felt a hundred times worse.

Tears about to fall from the edge of her eyes. She raised her left hand and started threading his hair. She leaned even closer to him, and her elbows anchored on the mattress as she remained in a kneeling position against the hard wood floor.

"Had I stayed that night I would've been there to protect you."

"I am so sorry Norman. I never should have left that night. I slept with George to forget you. I'm sorry Norman." She cried as she raised her voice with an attempt to wake him up this time.

When Sheriff Romero rescued him from "the box" and brought him home, he never spoke to his mother. Norman's eyes full of anger, his glare to his mother screams of distrust. Norman looked so exhausted but his face looked fierce, as if he's about to kill a lion. But he immediately went to his room, slammed the door to her face, fell onto his bed and slept, without saying a single word to Norma despite her attempt to open up to him.

"Sorry." She muttered once again. Her voice shaky.

Norma stood up from kneeling, and sat at the edge of the bed beside Norman. This time, Norma leaned even closer to him, positioned her mouth over his ear, and whispered:

"I love you so much Norman. I love you."

Tears streamed down from her eyes, and it fell onto Norman's cheek.

She stared at his face and placed her right hand on his chest. His face still unexpressive, but she can feel his heart beat faster every second- it's as if his heart reacts to her words, but his body remains unmoved. He's still sleeping.

Norma threaded his hair with her fingers, and cupped his cheeks. The heat of her palms on his face, and her fingers circle his lips.

"I won't lie to you ever again. I promise."

She leaned, her face inches away from him. She tilted her head and kissed him from his forehead... slowly moving towards his right cheek... before darting a glance to his lips.

She closed her eyes and kissed his lips softly, her palms still caressing his face. It was a lingered gentle kiss- her lips move slow on his still lips and she pressed it even deeper, her breath is warm. She loves him more than her own self. To kiss him was the only way she could think of to express her love to him at this moment. But it just proved that she loves him more than just being her own son. It was wrong but she needs him now more than ever.

Her breathing became hitched, and she pulled her lips away from his.

But suddenly, she felt the heat of his hand at the back of her neck, holding her tightly as if to stop her from pulling back from the kiss.

"Mother..." He mumbles and Norman's eyes were open.

Norma's bright blue eyes widened with shock. Little did she know that he was aware the whole time she was kissing him.

"You love me?" he lifted himself to sit up next to Norma, his hand sliding from the back of her neck to caressing her cheeks.

"Norman" her voice is soft and sincere.

"That was the only thing I've wanted from you Mother. I've always wanted to... " he paused and he shook his head to recall his memory.

"I had a dream. I saw myself running in the woods, looking out for you, screaming your name. I was lost and I couldn't find you. And then I heard your voice but I didn't see you. You said Goodbye. Your voice still lingered in my head."

Norman moved closer... and closer to her that they gently rubbed noses. Norma placed her hands on his shoulders as they locked eyes.

"I missed you so much. But I am always here Norman. I will always be with you. You don't have to worry."

"But you left me for George that night!" he raised the tone of his voice as he gave her a baleful glare. Tears were about to drop from the edge of his eyes but he's still confused and angry. However, this time, something's keeping him from pushing her away. He has never been this close to her before, gazing at her piercing blue eyes, feeling the warmth of her breath, inhaling her sweet scent.

"You are the only person I love. Nobody could have me but you." said Norma.

"Promise me."

"I promise." Norma kissed his cheek, and embraced him tightly but he remains still.

"Prove it to me Mother."

She released him from her tight embrace. She was left speechless after realizing what he meant.

"I've always wanted to kiss you Mother. I felt your lips brushed against mine when I was on a trance and then I woke up from my nightmare. I need you more than anything in this world."

Norman moved up the last half inch so their lips could touch. He closed the gap between their mouths with that sentence and he closed his eyes as he deepened the kiss. Norma remained motionless, it gave her chills down to her spine. She knew it was wrong, but her heart didn't want to resist. Still perplexed at the fact that their "need" for each other was mutual. She thought it was unrequited but his kiss assured his undying love for her.

He sucked on her bottom lip as he threaded her blonde hair. Norman was aggressive as ever, and he felt the heat below his belly. Norma gaped her mouth as he deepened the kiss, brushing her sweet lips with his tongue. Their tongues danced in their mouths.

Norma wrapped her arms around his shoulder, while he pulled back from her lips to kiss her neck. He has always missed her smell. She was unlike Bradley and Cody. Her distinctive sweet scent lured him every time they embraced before; he couldn't keep himself whenever he's beside her. Her fragrance added a further spur to his aggressiveness.

His hands rush to unbutton her floral blouse, exposing her flawless skin. He unhooked her bra, allowing her breasts to spring free and he buried his face between them, slowly teasing them with his tongue.

Norma reclined as he kissed her passionately, his lips moved from her chest to her belly; his hands trying to reach for her skirt and dragged them upwards, before removing her undies. He teased his fingers on her belly, then slowly moved down until his fingers touch it between her legs.

Norma heaved. She can't believe this is actually happening. She's stunned at the sight of Norman on top of her. This was like a dream she always wanted to have- to be with Norman, and to share this special moment with the person she truly loves.

Norman's vigorous, aroused, and desperate; at the same time, dazed by her beauty. He paused to stare at her eyes.

"I love you Norma."

"I love you too. I would die without you. We're like the same person."

Those words reassured his trust for her. That sweet gentle kiss he felt as he woke up a few moments ago was enough to make him believe in her again.

"I missed you so much Norman."

Our love for each other is genuine and unbreakable.

Norman sealed their mouths once again, while his left hand pulled the back of her right thigh to wrap her leg around his waist and she spread her legs wide. He swiftly pulled his whole body towards her and thrusted it inside her deeply. She panted as her hands crumple the sheet of the bed. She felt him hard as a rock inside of her. His hips maneuvered the rhythm, his pace moved faster and faster until they climaxed, and Norma let out loud repetitive moans. He buried his face on her neck, their bodies damped in sweat. Norman was breathing through his teeth.

"I love you Norma."

"I love you too."

They both got lost in the moment.
