Awkward awakenings

    by: Unknown Dude Author IconMail Icon
Elizabeth's POV

I half expected to wake up in my own bed, in my own body. That would have been great. But, of course, that was not to be. It would never happen anymore. Instead, I woke up on the right side of a queen size bed, in an obviously female body. Something else was off, though. I felt something on my breasts. I looked down: there was someone's arm lying over me! I looked to my right, confirming my suspicions: Dad had rolled over in his sleep, unconsciously cuddling up to me. Startled, I pushed him away and jumped out of bed as quickly as I could.

"Huh? What's going on?" asked Dad, still half asleep. "Betty?"

Betty was what Dad usually called Mom. "Dad, it's me. David. You were... you were almost on top of me!"

"Wait, what... Oh God, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to do that."

"It's okay, I was just startled," I replied. "I just didn't expect to wake up to this."

"Betty..." Dad started. He was fully awake now; guess he really did plan on calling me Betty instead of David. I'd have to get used to this. "I don't want to make you uncomfortable. If it makes you fell better, I can sleep on the couch for a while."

His offer was tempting, but I felt bad about it. I couldn't just kick him out of his own bedroom; it wasn't right. Maybe I could sleep on the couch instead? That wasn't tempting either. Which left one option.

"Look... Phillip." Mom usually called him 'honey', but I wasn't ready for that yet. "We can keep sleeping in the same bed. If waking up with your arm over me is the worst that can happen, I guess I can live with it. Just... nothing more than that."

"Thanks. It means a lot to me that you're willing to do that. The faster we get used to this, the faster things can return to normal."

Yeah... to normal... To him, and to everyone else, that's what it would be. When we'd all have adjusted to this, Dad would have a wife and a son again, and my sisters would have a mother and a brother. For them, it would be almost like nothing had ever changed, and they'd just go on with their lives. For me and Mom, though, everything had changed forever.

I took a look around. I was still in my parents' bedroom, obviously. Guess it was my bedroom, now. It was much bigger than the room I shared with Cassie, and it had its own bathroom, so I guess that was one of the few things I'd like about my new life. What I didn't like was my father lying in my bed. At least he was wearing pajamas; last night he mentioned that he usually slept in his underwear, but that he wouldn't do that so as to not make me uncomfortable. As for me, I was wearing one of my moth... my nightgowns. It was a white, opaque, knee-length one, and pretty much the least feminine choice of nightwear I found in my new wardrobe. Some of the others... well, let's just say I'd never wear them. I shuddered just to think of it.

I looked at the alarm clock on Dad's bedside table: it showed 6:23. Strange, I never woke up at that time before. I always went to bed and got up late, even more so now that it was summer vacation. It wasn't rare for me to get up past ten. But Mom wasn't like that... She and Dad had always been morning people. Guess I had her biological clock, now. I didn't feel sleepy at all anymore, so I decided that I might as well go get breakfast.

David's POV

I felt strange... down there. My entire crotch felt entirely different from usual. And it felt like it was about to explode. I quickly opened my eyes and looked down. I was partially surprised when I didn't see breasts on my chest, but it was nothing compared seeing a large tent in my blanket. Suddenly, I was fully awake, and the events of yesterday came back to me. I was in David's body, and what I was experiencing was his morning wood.

After a quick look to my right confirmed that Cassandra was still asleep in her bed, on the other side of the room. To think yesterday I woke up next to my husband, and now I was sharing a room with my daughter... Safe in the knowledge that Cassandra wouldn't be looking, I pulled off blankets, staring in amazement at my new body part. Not bad; it isn't as big as Philip's, but still a decent size... I really shouldn't be thinking like this.

"Like what you're seeing?" asked an amused Cassandra.

"I thought you were sleeping!" I replied, startled.

"Sorry, I just wanted to know how you'd react to this." She pointed at the visible tent in my boxers.

"How did you... This happens every morning, doesn't it?" I asked.

"Yep! Welcome to being a guy."

"And how do I... deal with this?"

"Well, David just... you know, unloaded."

"Right here?" I asked. There was something deeply wrong about this image.

"What? No! I don't watch my brother jerking off, that's f**king gross!" Cassandra replied. I decided not to comment on her swearing. "He does it in the bathroom. That's probably what you should do."

I poked my erect member through the fabric of my underwear. It felt weird. Somehow, the prospect of "handling" it was exciting... but it also made me feel uncomfortable. This is my son's body! I wasn't supposed to experience that.

"I think I'll just wait it out," I said. "I'm not comfortable with this."

"Yeah, I'm not sure I'd want to do that on first day either, if I was the one who swapped, replied Cassandra. "Anyway, I'm gonna get dressed. If you're staying here, could you look away?"

I turned my head the other way, looking away from my daugher and the tent in my boxers. I breathed slowly, focusing on other things instead of my "problem". Behind me, I could hear the sound of drawers opening and closing, followed a few minutes later by the door doing the same. Cassandra had left. Finally, my morning wood began to go away. Now more comfortable, I sat up and looked at my alarm clock: 10:24. How did this happen? I never wake up so late! But... David does. I must have inherited his sleep pattern. All that wasted time; I could have done so many things this morning. I'll have to work on getting this back to normal. Wasting no time, I jumped out of bed.
