Chapter 10
Sookie knew that Eric wouldn’t be happy about her doing some last minute baby shopping by herself, being only a month away from her due date, but he was busy at the bar and she hated having to always rely on him to do everything for her. She was still more than capable of handling things on her own, except for getting herself there in one piece, which was why she had Eric’s day man, Bobby Burnham; drive her to the local market. He took off to do his own thing, but really hoped he would be back in an hour or so to pick her up. It was no secret that Bobby didn’t exactly care for her, and if his thoughts were anything to go by, he wondered why Eric was wasting his time with such an unpleasant woman, but wouldn’t risk defying his Master by not doing as she asked.
When Sookie left the store after not finding anything useful, she silently cursed herself at the sight of Bill Compton, having a feeling that he was waiting for her and suddenly wishing she would have done her shopping when it was still light out. “Are you stalking me now?”
“I need to speak with you.”
“We don’t have anything to talk about,” she said, trying to walk by him, but he grabbed her arm.
“Please, Sookie, I just need a moment of your time. I’m trying to understand this. Why would you choose to be with Eric? Is he using you for something? Whose child are you carrying? I know it can’t be his, everyone is talking about you in Bon Temps, but I’m finding the rumors hard to believe. I know you have every right to hate me, but I still love you very much. I only want the best for you,” he explained.
Sookie ripped her arm out of his grasp. “Oh, now you care about what’s best for me? This baby is not your business, and neither am I for that matter. What I’m doing with Eric is between us, you need to stay away from me. You are no longer a part of my life.” Before she could storm away, an abrupt pain stabbed her in the abdomen, clutching her stomach in pure agony.
Bill was at her side in an instant. “Are you all right?”
Tears clouded her vision as she tried to answer him, shaking her head. “No, I can’t have the baby now. It’s too soon.” She cried out at another stab of sharp pain. “I need Eric.”
Bill was willing to do anything to prove that he was all she needed, wrapping his arms around her hunched form and trying to sooth her as best he could, but before he could respond, the bane of his existence swooped down from God knew where and pulled him away from her.
“Sookie, what is it? I could feel your distress.”
She gazed up at Eric in relief, never before so happy to see anyone. “I think the baby’s coming.”
He nodded, gently picking her up and taking off through the night sky. It looked like Dr. Ludwig was out of the question, what she needed right now was a hospital, and Eric was determined to get her there as quickly as possible.

“Fuck, someone get this kid out of me!”
Eric told her to grip his hand as hard as she needed to, there was no way she could hurt him, but he didn’t take in the fact how very strong women in labor tended to be. If he were human, the bones in his hand would surely be broken by now. “Breathe, lover, you’re doing very well.” The doctor explained that everything looked to be okay, even though she was a few weeks early, it was pretty common.
“He’s right, Sookie, just keep taking deep breaths. We’re almost ready for you to push.” To say Dr. Sanchez was shocked to see a large, extremely pale man making his way through the hospital corridors, with a pregnant woman in his arms would have been an understatement. He lived in this town long enough to know when he was in the presence of a vampire, but the fact he could be having a child was astonishing. He decided to lessen his suspicions by asking, “are you the father?”
“Yes,” was all the vampire said, no hesitation on his part. Dr. Sanchez only nodded and got right to work, he had a baby to bring into the world.
“God, I can’t do this. It hurts too much,” Sookie cried when the doctor told her that it was time to push, once was enough to leave her entirely exhausted.
Eric brought her hand to his lips, kissing her knuckles. “You are the bravest woman I know, dear one. If anyone can get through this, it would be you. Only a couple more pushes, and you’ll have a beautiful baby in your arms.” There was no doubt in his mind that her child would be anything but beautiful.
Sookie did just that, shutting her eyes and squeezing his hand even tighter as she pushed with all the strength she possessed.
“I can see the head. We need one more, Sookie. Can you do that?”
She nodded, letting out a bloodcurdling scream as she gave a final push, lying back and feeling utterly drained, but it was hearing the cries of her baby that really brought tears to her eyes.
“You did it, lover. I knew you could.”
Sookie had never heard such praise in Eric’s voice before, it touched her heart.
“Congratulations, you have a girl,” the doctor said, handing the bundle over to Sookie after she was cleaned off and wrapped in a fuzzy, pink blanket.
“She’s so perfect,” Sookie whispered, staring down at her little angel. “I can’t believe I made you.”
Seeing her with the newborn, Eric wished more than anything that he was gazing at his own child. Yes, it was not feasible for him to have children, but this was the first time since being turned that he wished it was.
“I think I’ll name her Adele, after my grandmother.”
He smiled at her choice, bending down to touch his lips to her forehead, a lone red tear making a path down his cheek.

Eric was about to cause a scene in the hospital when he left Sookie’s room to let her rest, but would have no regrets. He grabbed Compton by the throat, pinning him against a nearby wall.
“You are not welcome here.”
The dark haired vampire sneered, grasping hold of Eric’s arm. “I only came to see if she was all right.”
He let him go, taking a step back. “She is perfectly fine, you may leave now. It would be best for your wellbeing if I did not see you around my bonded again.”
“What has happened to her? I know Sookie; she would not have a meaningless one night stand. It’s not in her nature. Who is the father? Did you have him killed, just so you could be the big hero and play ‘Daddy’ with her? She’ll see right through your act.”
Eric was losing what little patience he had left. “Sookie is of no concern to you; I suggest you remember that because if I see you anywhere near her again, I will be far less kind. This is your only warning.”
With one last scowl, Bill took off in the other direction.
Eric returned to the room after his retreat, seeing that Sookie was fast asleep, little Adele resting beside her in the bassinet the nurse brought. He watched over them, until it was time for him to be dead for the day. No matter what anyone said, they were his family now and no one was taking them from him. He would kill anyone who tried.
