Laura Ruth (Ruthie) McFarland (4) – Tom and Laura’s third biological child. One could theorize Laura’s hyper-fertility caused Tom’s vasectomy to reverse itself, but whatever the cause, the 4,000-to-1 shot hit home, getting and Laura pregnant a final time. It was a high-risk pregnancy, with Laura going into labor early. After having the baby Laura almost died due to hemorrhaging, but a post-partum hysterectomy saved her life.
With Ruthie being her last bio child, Laura has done everything she can to keep Ruthie a baby for as long as possible; at 4 years old, her daughter has moved on to solid foods, but will still climb into her parent’s bed to nurse from Laura every now and then.
Other Key Characters
Walter Connor (54) —Tom has done some work for Quiet Sal Bartolo, a mob boss, in the past and they respect each other. When Brad Maddox gets Olivia pregnant and then claims the baby is not his, Tom goes to Quiet Sal and requests some help in persuading Brad to step up and do the right thing by his precious Olly.
Quiet Sal provides it, in the form of two enforcers: Mr. Green and a Mr. Orange, both well over 6′ and easily 250 pounds. Enough things happen (including Brad’s Corvette mysteriously catching fire) to convince Brad that meeting up with Olivia to talk about their baby’s future is a most excellent idea. The reconciled lovebirds decide to get married, and at their wedding to deliver a new vehicle as a present from Quiet Sal, it’s revealed that Mr. Orange’s real name is Walter Connor.
While at the wedding, Walter sees Tom and Laura having a sensual moment and realizes that he’s tired of paying for sex; instead, he wants a real relationship with a woman just like Laura. In the fifth chapter, her meets her: Laura’s younger sister, Dotty.
Dorothy “Dotty” Terhune/Harmon/Connor (47) — a red-headed green-eyed wet dream Terhune sister, and a younger version of Laura. Dotty first appears in the fifth chapter, arriving on the McFarland Farm in search of her oldest sister, whom she hasn’t seen since Laura left to marry Reverend Wright nearly 20 years prior. She’s on the run from her abusive drug-dealing husband, to protect her son Trent. Tom feels inadequate to protect her, so calls in some help: Walter, now 50 and retired from the mob.
One look at Dotty and Walter is hooked. She’s his perfect woman, and he’s determined to win her, not knowing in Dotty’s eyes that he’s already won. Walter also bonds in a fatherly way with Dotty’s son Trent (now 9). Having the Terhune family fertility, Dotty gets pregnant and marries Walter, and before long Trent has two sisters, Jackie (now 3), and Athena (now 2).
Inspired by James’ wife Melissa, Dotty also has a sexual roleplay alter ego, a hooker named Destiny, who usually teams up with Laura’s alter ego Angel to get their husbands stirred up.
A detailed version of Walter and Dotty’s romance can be found in the Mother Road spin-off, “Walter and Dotty — A Love Story“.

Mother Road Ch. 8 — Lost Highway
Author’s notes:
• All sexual activity in this story is between adults 18 and over.
• This is a continuation of a very long series. If you haven’t read the first 7 chapters of Mother Road, in order to fully understand Tom and Laura’s relationship – and their children’s relationships – you probably should.
• This story picks up immediately after Mother Road Ch. 7 — Passing Lane, and 19 years after the original Mother Road.
Thanks as always to my writing team, RiverMaya and JuanaSalsa. They are “simply the best, better than all the rest.”

February — Wellston, Oklahoma: The Special Order
Spooning was just the best. After 19 years of marriage, I never got tired of feeling Laura’s ass pressed against my crotch with one of her tits filling my hand, with my nose pressed into her sweet-smelling hair. It was one of the things I missed most, back when I was on the road as a consultant. Even at 52, Laura’s red hair, green eyes, and soft flesh still managed excite me.
Probably second to that was giving Laura oral. Since her hysterectomy after our youngest, Laura Ruth, (aka Ruthie) was born, periods were no longer an issue and you better believe I took every opportunity to go down on my wife.
Of course, our regular fucking itself was also great. Sometimes it was gentle and loving, other times it was me roughly folding Laura almost in half, her thighs pinned against her tits as I went at it like a piledriver.
No, my sex drive hadn’t diminished, but these days the windows of opportunity certainly were fewer.
Ruthie was now 4 and had her own big-girl bed, but would still sometimes wake up in the middle of the night, walk down the hall and crawl in ours. Since she was our last baby, Laura was in no hurry for Ruthie to grow up; rather than put our sweet little cockblocker back in her own bed, we allowed her to sleep between us.
It could be frustrating, but since she was our miracle post-vasectomy baby I just accepted it. Using the cabin was not really an option since Ruthie would hunt us down there as well, ignoring the ‘do not disturb Mommy and Daddy in the cabin’ rule that the other 9 children had so faithfully followed for the last 19 years. To relieve my sexual tension, sometimes Laura and I would have a date night at a local motel; it was like being on a honeymoon for a few hours.
