Chapter 13
“What do you really know about this guy, Sook? He could be an axe murderer.”
She rolled her eyes. “I’ll take that risk. All I know is that I care for him and his daughters, I feel like they’re the only ones who really appreciate me these days. I love you, Jason, but you’re never around. Whenever you do come by, it’s usually just to borrow something. You have your own life to worry about, and a new baby on the way. Let me handle mine, okay? I’m a big girl now.”
He nodded. “I know that, but I’m your big brother. I haven’t been the best one lately, but I’m always gonna worry about you. I hope this isn’t just an excuse to get away from Bill.”
Sookie rubbed her eyes in exasperation. “God, I wish everyone would stop assuming that I’m only doing this because of Bill. My life does not revolve around him; this is because of how I feel for Eric. I don’t expect for you to understand, but I’ve never felt this way before. It completely took me by surprise, but now it’s the most natural thing in the world. He makes me feel special, like I can do anything and won’t be judged for it. I hope you can accept this, Jason. I’ll still visit occasionally, we’ll have the phone and e-mail, not much has to change.”
Jason let out a breath. “I was just hoping you would be here for the birth of my baby. I don’t know anything about being a dad, and you already have his kids to take care of. I want you to be a part of this baby’s life, too.”
Sookie teared up a bit, but held them back. “Even though I’m not Crystal’s biggest fan, I’ll always be here for you and your child. I want you to send me pictures as soon as you can, and I will definitely visit after she’s born. You may think you’re not ready now, but as soon as you set eyes on that baby, I guarantee everything will work out.”
Jason gave her a hug, pressing a kiss to her cheek. “You’re the best sister, Sook. I’m sorry if I never appreciated you like you deserve, but a lot is gonna change when I’m a daddy, you’ll see. I’ll make you proud.”
She patted him on the back. “That’s all I can hope for.”

“I hope I’m doing this right. Technology has never been something I’m good at.”
Eric chuckled. “I can see you, so I would say you’re doing a fine job.”
Sookie sat back in her chair, waving at her boyfriend through the screen. “Hey, baby, it’s so great to see you. This last week has been awful without you.”
“I can relate. Olivia and I finally had a much needed talk, she told me about that boy she likes. Surprisingly, I managed to sit through it without having a stroke.”
She laughed. “I told you it wouldn’t be so bad. Trust me, this is nothing. There are going to be a ton of boys in her life.”
Eric groaned. “That makes me feel so much better. I think this may be the first time that I’ve regretted not having a son.”
“Well, just think, you might still get another chance.” She caught herself, blushing at how that may have sounded to him. “Not that we would be having kids or anything. I mean, I want them somewhere down the line, but there is definitely no rush. I haven’t even moved in yet, and for all we know, I might be a complete nightmare to live with.”
He smiled warmly, putting her fears to rest. “I’m not worried about that, and just so you know, I do want more children. If they were with you, that would be perfect, but there’s no pressure.”
Sookie sighed in relief, glad to know that she didn’t freak him out. Anything else she would have said was cut off by the arrival of Amelia, who pushed Sookie out of the way, her eyes widening at the sight of him.
“Holy crap, hey, Eric, it’s nice to meet you. I’m Amelia, and whatever my dear friend told you about me, it’s all true. Could you do me a favor and stand away from the computer for a second? I need a look at the whole package.”
He raised his eyebrows, watching as Sookie tried to fight her way back in front of the screen, but Amelia wouldn’t budge. Eric stood up, moving a few steps back, but making sure he was still in view. “Is that enough?”
Amelia gave a low whistle, eyeing him from head to toe, and turning back to Sookie. “Have I mentioned how much I hate you? It’s just not fair that you get to move in with that eye candy, and have sex with him whenever you want. Where can I find one?”
Eric laughed, sitting back in his seat, noticing the sudden redness in Sookie’s cheeks. “I can still hear you.”
Amelia waved her hand in the air. “You’ll soon realize that I have no shame. I say what’s on my mind; you’ll learn to adore that about me.”
“I’m beginning to think you’re right. Any chance you might be interested in women? My sister would love you.”
Sookie pulled her friend away before she could respond. “All right, I think that’s long enough. You can go now, Ames. Eric and I only have a few minutes here.”
Amelia pouted, but decided to give them some time to themselves. “Fine, but we will be having another chat later,” she said to Eric, blowing him a kiss, and then making her way out of the apartment.
“I’m sorry about her, but I did warn you.”
“Don’t worry, I like her. I was serious about hooking her up with Pam,” he claimed.
Sookie laughed. “Amelia’s been involved with women before, so I doubt she would be totally against it. I somehow don’t think she’s quite ready to move to New York, though, but I’ll definitely talk to her about that.”
“How did your brother take the news?”
She shrugged. “Better than expected, he freaked at first, but he knew how much I really wanted this. I think he’s just more afraid of raising that baby on his own. Crystal probably won’t be much help, he was most likely expecting me to handle everything, but Jason is a grown man. He can’t rely on me forever; it was time he learned to take care of himself. If he didn’t want this responsibility, he should have paid better attention to birth control. That was my last obstacle to get through, I just have some more packing to finish, and then I’m good to go. Amelia is going to ship the bigger stuff to me, but I promise it won’t be a lot. I only need a few essential things. I don’t want you to think I’ll be taking over your entire apartment with a lot of junk.”
Eric smiled. “You really do worry a lot, don’t you? My place is big enough to fit anything your heart desires, Sookie. I even have a spare room if you don’t think you will be comfortable sharing mine, at least not at first. It’s the room Pam sometimes uses when she stays the night, but I promise there should be nothing inappropriate in there. We can figure anything else out later. Right now, I just want you here, nothing else matters.”
Sookie touched the screen, smiling when Eric placed his hand over hers. “I wish I could be with you now. I never realized just how lonely it is here. Even when I shared this apartment with Bill, I always spent a lot of time by myself. I guess that should have been a hint that all wasn’t right in our relationship.”
“You’ll never have that problem here, dear one. I just hope after a while, you won’t be wishing for the quiet again.”
She shook her head. “That won’t happen, but I should get some sleep now. Big day of packing tomorrow, and I need to talk to Sam again. I hate how I left things with him.”
Eric nodded, kissing the tips of his fingers, and pressing them to the screen. “Sleep well, lover.”
Sookie shivered at that word, agreeing to do just that as they disconnected the chat. It was going to be a long night.
