Coming Back to the Nest
by Swiggy 3000

Chapter 1

Allison Bryant was proud of herself. She had been able to finish college in four years and was ready to find a job and start her life. She was a beautiful young woman, had celebrated her twenty second birthday a few months before graduation. She had graduated with a degree in history from the University of Illinois.

Although originally from Ohio she had family in Illinois and had felt that it would be best to get away from her parents for a bit to go and find her own life for herself. Which she had, she had gone from a kind of dorky high school girl to a beautiful young woman. She felt like she had finally blossomed.

Allison was about 5’5’’, no more than 115 pounds, kept herself fit by playing volleyball in high school and then intramural sports in college as well. Her figure was a bit straight forward, not too many curves but her butt was round and firm and her chest was a 34B, not right for a porn star but for her she felt that her figure was near perfect.

Her face while not cover girl material ended up getting her more than a few men at college. Her hair was raven and dark; honestly if not for her sunny disposition in high school she could have easily gone Goth with a few purple highlights. Her green eyes were bright and ready to take on the world. Her smile would light up a room, she was sure that she’d be hired somewhere right away.

Sadly for her she hadn’t realized that while she loved History and it meant some great times in college. It wasn’t the kind of thing that a ton of companies were looking for or really anyone outside of teaching. She had debated going for her Master’s but didn’t want to spend the money and teaching would mean babysitting kids all day while trying to teach them. No, that wasn’t for her at all.

So despite starting her job search back in February, she hadn’t found anything and had no choice but to go and move back in with her parents. Her parents weren’t bad people or mean or rude or overbearing or anything like that. Still though she didn’t want to go and move back in with them. Still it was better than taking a job at Wal-Mart and trying to pull that off. No, she’d just relax for a bit while applying for jobs. She gave herself a month or so and then she’d find that job that she wanted.

She was just unpacking the last of her boxes when her mom knocked on her door. Her mother was in her late 40’s, mother of two, and shared many of Allison’s traits. Honestly the biggest difference between the two of them was weight. Years had made her mother, Rachel, a bit chunkier than she’d like. She wasn’t obese but she was overweight.

“I’m glad to have you home honey” she said pulling Allison into a soft and comforting hug.

“Aww thanks mom but you know that this isn’t for too long. I’ll be out of your hair soon enough just like Laura was” Allison said thinking of her older sister. She was only a few years older than her but she was already married and living across the country.

“I know but that doesn’t mean that I can’t enjoy you while you’re here. Now you just go and relax for a bit. I’m going to make some cookies. M&M cookies, your favorite” Rachel said pinching her daughters cheek and heading downstairs to get to cooking.
Allison just sighed and rolled her eyes. She was only unpacking her clothes and things that she needed, after all she wouldn’t be here for long. Still at least she could enjoy the perks of living at home. She changed into some comfy volleyball shorts and a t-shirt and took out her Mac Book to start checking for jobs online.

She ended up doing that for about half an hour. She wasn’t really finding anything that she loved but she applied to a few things, at least things that she could do. She decided to aim high, after all she had a college education and even though her degree was in history she felt that she still deserved a nice salary for that. Just then she heard the oven beep from downstairs and decided to take a break from applying for jobs for a bit.

She went and grabbed three cookies fresh from the oven and was surprised to find a glass of milk already poured for her. “A mother always knows” Rachel said knowingly smiling at Allison. It had been so long since either of her daughters had been home. Laura had moved in with her future husband right away and while she did visit she never got any time with her. She wanted Allison to get a great job but it could wait a bit. She had her whole life to work; Rachel only had a little bit of time left with her daughter before she left the nest for good, might as well make the most of it.

She went right over to the couch, sat down, and turned on her parents satellite TV. She flipped around for a little bit and found a ‘Say Yes To The Dress’ marathon on. Well she’d been working hard over the past four years. She could afford to take a break for now. Besides it was the afternoon, job applications were just as good at five as they were at three.

Rachel just smiled as she watched Allison relax for a bit. She always felt that her daughter was a bit high strung and some relaxation would do her good.
Allison had only meant to watch one episode but well one thing led to another and her mom ended up bringing her a few more cookies and before she knew what had happened her mom was putting dinner on the table. She stretched her muscles which weren’t used to lazing around most of the day.

“What’s for dinner mom?” she asked making her way the ten feet from the couch to the kitchen table.

“I decided that since you’re home I’d make your favorite! Spaghetti with meatballs, my homemade sauce, Italian sausage, and garlic bread” Rachel said. She wasn’t Italian in any way but she enjoyed cooking and over many years had perfected a pasta recipe. It was a heavy meal but most of the time Allison needed it to carbo load or something like that.

Allison smiled at the meal. She had been on her own at college and while she cooked most of her own food she couldn’t really do anything like this. She had been too busy in high school and college to really let her mom teach her how to cook. Maybe she should ask some questions now, just so she wouldn’t have to do crappy frozen dinners all the time once she had her job.

Her dad came downstairs. He was a bigger man, he had a beer gut and his head had started balding. He still retained his good looks into his older age. Honestly Allison wasn’t that close to her father, Laura had been the daddy’s girl but Allison got along well with him.

Dinner conversation was light, Allison and her mother mostly talked about celebrity gossip. Hey she was still a college aged woman; she couldn’t help but pick up a few trashy magazines. Her dad, Frank, just rolled his eyes at the conversation. Honestly he was happy that Allison was home but still he wished she would talk about something else.

Allison ended up getting so into the conversation that she wasn’t realizing how much she was eating. Allison had always been able to put her mother’s food away. It was always so good and well she was an athlete, she burned a lot of calories at practice and had needed to refuel. She’d go for a run tomorrow and burn this off with little problem.

“Well mom…I’ll give you this, you can still cook like there is no tomorrow” Allison said happily patting her stomach and sipping on her wine. She hadn’t wanted wine originally but her mother convinced her that she was an adult and besides it wasn’t like she didn’t drink at college. Allison had blushed at that, turning as red as the wine but happily accepted.

Rachel smiled at her daughter.

“Well I’m glad that you liked it dear, and don’t worry about the dishes I’ve got them. Just head to the living room and I’ll bring you some dessert” she said.

“Well you girls have fun I have a bit of work to do” Frank stand grunting as he stood up and went to his office. ‘Some things never change’ Allison thought as she watched her date retreat to this computer addiction. She took the bottle of wine with her to the living room and flipped through some channels until she found ‘Friends’ oh this took her back. She smiled happily as she sipped on her wine.

Rachel came in about fifteen minutes later with a slice of Turtle Cheesecake for her daughter. “Here you go something special we bought last time we were at the Cheesecake Factory. We were saving it for something special and I think this counts” she said putting it in front of Allison.

“Thank you so much. This beats having a bag of M&M’s or something for dessert” she said forgetting that she still had cookies that she could be eating.

“Well you’re home now! I remember what college was like. I barely ate anything good then and when I started working it was worse. You better enjoy this while you can! You’ll be starving soon” Rachel said taking a bite of her cheesecake.

“Oh don’t worry about me. I’ll find a great job and I’ll be fine. I’ll be out of your hair soon enough and you and dad can enjoy some alone time” Allison said. Rachel said nothing and just focused on the TV. “So who’s your favorite character? I think Chandler is the funniest but I just love Rachel…” she started.

Allison and Rachel ended up gabbing late into the night. It actually felt nice to talk to her mom woman to woman. Of course they were still mother and daughter but it was different now. She was grown up and could talk about more adult things and drink wine. They ended up talking until about one in the morning. Neither of them had anything to do and Frank had gone to bed a long time ago leaving them to talk.

“Well I think it’s time that I go to bed” Allison said.

“Your father is going to be so mad that I’m coming to bed this late but I think he’ll live” Rachel said doing her best to be quiet so she wouldn’t wake her husband. The house was two stories and the master bedroom door was probably closed but still she didn’t want to give him an excuse to be cranky tomorrow.

“Good night dear” she said giving her daughter a hug and made her way upstairs. Allison stayed downstairs for a few more minutes. She took her glass to the sink, and just happened to pass the cookies along the way. Well why let them go to waste? She picked up one more as a midnight snack and made her way back up to her room for a good night’s sleep.

During college Allison had always been an early riser. It was just her nature and even though she went out partying she was still up at a fairly reasonable hour. That trend continued at home as well. She woke up at nine, getting her eight hours of sleep and went right to the shower and got clean. The only problem was…she had nowhere to be and nothing to do. This was a different feeling she normally had a class or homework. Well this was interesting, a chance to just do nothing. She opened up her laptop to look up jobs when there was a knock on her door.

“Oh honey I’m glad you’re up I went and got donuts this morning after your dad left. I got your favorites….strawberry frosting with sprinkles” Rachel said.

“Oh sounds good!” Allison said happily walking downstairs to munch on some donuts, totally forgetting about her intended job hunt.
