Chapter 15
Six years later…
Sookie lounged back in the lawn chair, loving the feel of the sun on her skin.
“Mama, look at me!”
She glanced up to see her little girl swimming like a fish in the pool, her floaties keeping her above water. Adele only had a few lessons before she was swimming like a pro, and now wanted to show Sookie all of the moves she learned. “That’s great, baby, I’m very proud of you.”
One of Eric’s many homes was located in Georgia, and after some consideration, she decided that would be a decent enough place to raise their daughter. His house was on a farm, about twenty miles from civilization; it was very quiet and peaceful. There were all kinds of animals, which Adele just loved, including a stable with horses, but she wouldn’t be allowed to ride until she was a little older. It took much debating to even let her take swim lessons, but at least the pool finally came in handy. Sookie loved to sunbathe and wasn’t much for swimming at night, that being the only time Eric would be able to join her.
Sookie still kept in touch with everyone back in Bon Temps, but her visits were limited. After a while, they stopped pressuring her about who Adele’s real father was, but knew that her little girl would have to be told the truth eventually. Baby steps, as of right now, everything was perfect.
“I wish Daddy could see me,” Adele said, a sudden frown on her features.
Everything except for that, the look on her daughter’s face just about broke her heart. They kept quiet about Eric being a vampire, not sure yet how such a small child would take it. All they told her was that he had a bit of a sun allergy, but knew that lie couldn’t last forever. Eric never said anything, but Sookie could tell how much he hated not always being able to do things with Adele. He stayed awake once a year during the day, bleeds and all, just to see his little girl enjoy her birthday party. No matter how much it weakened him, he wouldn’t have missed that for the world.
As for Pam, not only did she own Fangtasia, but she was now Sheriff of Area 5, the youngest vampire to ever be given such an opportunity. She would visit them occasionally, and even managed to take a liking to Adele, now that she was growing up.
Sookie was brought back to reality, smiling at her little angel. “I wish he could, sweetie. Daddy loves you very much, maybe we can go for another swim later tonight and you can show him then, okay?”
“Perhaps now would be a good time.”
Sookie jerked around with a gasp, stunned to see Eric standing behind her in broad daylight. “What are you doing out here? Do you want to burn up?” After a moment of him standing there giving her a goofy grin, Sookie realized that he wasn’t on fire. “How is this possible?”
Eric took the chair next to her. “I will tell you if you promise not to get upset with me.”
Sookie didn’t like the sound of that, but waited for him to elaborate.
“I found a witch that I knew could be trustworthy. Pam recommended her; she was having a relationship with the woman, who introduced Pam to her mentor, an Octavia Fant. We talked, and after much convincing on my part, she decided to give me one day in the sun. The magic is powerful, like nothing I’ve felt before. I didn’t think it was achievable, but after I went to rest a few hours ago, I suddenly awoke without any problems. That is when I knew it must have worked; she gave me today to spend with both of you. I know it’s not enough…”
She cut him off with a kiss, pulling away to rest her forehead against his. “It’s more than enough. I can’t believe you did this, especially after already being cursed by a witch once. Anything could have gone wrong.”
“It was worth the risk.”
“Daddy!” Adele yelled, climbing out of the pool to run over to her father.
He picked the excited child up, sitting her down on his lap. “Have you been a good girl for your mother today?”
She nodded adamantly. “Did you come outside to see me swim? Your skin won’t hurt, will it?”
Eric smiled, kissing her cheek. “No, my love, today I am all yours.”
Adele beamed up at him. “Can you come swim with me? Please?”
Eric knew that when it came to his daughter, there was nothing he wouldn’t do for her. “Will you join us?”
Sookie shook her head, leaning back in the chair. “That’s fine; I think I’ll just watch you two. Only for a little while, it’s almost time for lunch.” She smiled when Eric went to play with Adele in the water, laughing at the sight of them and the pure joy on her daughter’s face. It saddened her that this would only be for one day, but it was more than she could ever ask for.

“God, I can’t feel my legs.”
Eric chuckled, nuzzling her bare shoulder. “I must admit, you are good for a man’s ego.”
Sookie snuggled up at his side, Adele having gone to bed an hour ago. Luckily, their daughter could sleep through anything. She took a deep breath, knowing this would be a hard conversation, but it was something they really needed to discuss. “I’m ready to talk about it again.”
He let out a sigh, having a feeling of what she was referring to. “I won’t force anything on you, Sookie. As I have told you before, I will not turn you unless you ask it of me.”
She sat up, shaking her head. “That’s what we need to talk about, Eric. I’ve thought a lot about this, and I realized that I’ll never ask you to turn me. I just can’t do it, even though it pains me to know that I’ll have to leave you some day.”
Eric nodded, as much as he hated what she was saying, he would respect her wishes, but she wasn’t finished.
“After I’m gone and if Adele is over eighteen, I give you permission to turn her, but only if she wants you to.”
That was definitely the last thing he expected to hear. “Are you certain?”
She took another breath, tears forming in her eyes. “I don’t want you to be alone. It makes me sick that I’m basically telling you it’s okay to kill our daughter when the time comes, but I know that you wouldn’t hurt her. And if it means you’ll always be together, it’s more than worth it, but it has to be something she wants. I need you to promise me that you won’t do anything without her consent.”
“I promise, but that is not something we need to worry about for a long time.”
Sookie hoped he was right, it would mean everything to her if she was around to see her baby grow up. The chances were bigger now since they’ve moved away from Louisiana; no one was out to get her. “Today was pretty amazing; I loved seeing her little face light up when you came outside. She thinks the world of you.”
Eric smiled, pulling her back down to his side. “She is my world, along with her beautiful mother.”
Sookie smiled as well, feeling her eyelids start to get heavy, wrapping her arms around him in a tight embrace. “I love you.”
He kissed the top of her head, feeling content for the first real time in his long existence. “I love you as well, dear one. Always and forever.”
