Chapter 28
“Are you sure she’s okay?”
Sookie nodded. “We had a nice talk, and I made her realize that breaking up is just a part of life, but it’s not the end of the world. Olivia’s almost fourteen, like I told you before; she’s bound to get a lot of interest from boys as she gets older.”
Eric groaned. “Why must you keep depressing me?”
“Aww, poor baby, you knew this would happen. Just think, you still have two more girls who will go through the same thing.”
“That son is sounding more appealing every day,” he said, only somewhat teasingly.
She laughed. “Give me time.”

“So, how’s official motherhood treating you? Is my niece behaving?”
Sookie smiled. “She’s only twelve weeks old, but yes, she’s a perfect baby. I was worried about her crying at all hours of the night, but she actually sleeps pretty well. We still have her in our room, I’m just not ready for her to leave and we haven’t finished turning the guest room into a nursery yet. It looks like you’ll be sleeping on the couch next time you visit.”
Amelia shrugged. “Or I could just stay with Pam, how’s my girl doing?”
Sookie thought what Amelia and Pam had would just be a fling. That it would end as soon as Amelia headed back to Louisiana, but they managed to shock her and Eric by deciding to keep seeing each other, even if it meant having a long distance relationship for the most part. Something she didn’t think either woman was capable of, but as far as she knew, Pam seemed pretty faithful to her friend, which was saying a lot. From what Pam and Amelia told her, they were still keeping in touch, calling each other every other day or so, and even started video chatting of their own. Beyond that, Sookie didn’t want any of the details. “She’s doing well, but I think she misses you. When are you planning for another visit?”
“I don’t know, but I’ll be seeing her soon when ya’ll come down here for the wedding.”
That was something her and Eric debated about, where to have the wedding. It seemed that the most logical thing to do would be to have it in New York. This was where Sookie’s life was now, but she knew it would be hard for her friends to travel there for her nuptials. That was why Eric decided they would all go to Louisiana instead. He knew how much she missed it there, and that she always dreamt of being married in the church where her parents were wed. Even though traveling in a plane with a small infant was not something she was looking forward to, it would give her a chance to show off her new baby to everyone in town, and finally meet her niece in the process. Jason sent her plenty of pictures, but it just wasn’t the same. So, it was settled, they would be going to Bon Temps in a couple months to get married. Sookie didn’t believe in long engagements, and just really couldn’t wait to be Mrs. Northman. The only thing she dreaded about going back home was the possibility of running into Bill, although she wouldn’t mind rubbing in his face about how happy she was now, but that wouldn’t be a very mature thing to do. She just prayed that he finally moved on.

Sookie hated winter, even more so in New York. She wasn’t prepared to leave the house and get bombarded by the freezing wind. When it began snowing again, she might really start to regret moving there. Of course, that was only the weather talking; she could never really regret it. Bon Temps would get chilly every now and then, but it was never this bad. Sookie hated the winter even more when she went by the construction site, knowing that her fiancé wouldn’t be shirtless. He was wearing a leather jacket instead, which was just as sexy, but she still felt a severe loss. The only good thing about it was the lack of horny women gazing at the men, her man in particular.
“Hey, what are you doing here?” Eric asked once he noticed her.
“I was in the mood to eat something that I didn’t have to cook, but I don’t think I realized how cold it would be when I decided to leave the house. How can you stand working out here in this weather?”
He shrugged. “I love this weather, but I’m more used to it than you are. I only have a week before the site is closed for the winter. I’m trying to put in as much work as I can, but I can take a break now if you didn’t wish to eat alone.”
Sookie smiled, content when he wrapped his arms around her, and suddenly feeling a lot warmer. “I was hoping you would.”

* * * * *

She couldn’t remember enjoying a cup of coffee so much in her life, but once the hot liquid hit the back of her throat, Sookie sighed in sweet relief.
“That may be the best thing I’ve ever had in my mouth.”
Eric grinned, giving her a seductive look. “I highly doubt that, lover.”
Sookie blushed, putting her cup down.
“Oh my God! Eric Northman, is that you?”
He cringed at the voice, while Sookie was confused to see a strange woman calling his name. She had red hair, and was wearing way too much make up, with a fuzzy coat adorning her petite frame.
“How long has it been?”
Eric glanced up at her. “Not long enough. I think the last time we saw each other was when I found you fucking Quinn.”
She flinched, nodding her head. “Okay, guess I deserve that. Would it help if I told you what a complete mistake that was?”
He shrugged. “I don’t really care either way; it was the best thing that could have happened to me.”
The woman seemed taken aback, but turned her attention on the other person at the table. “Oh, sorry, didn’t mean to interrupt your little date.”
Sookie knew that tone all too well. It was the attitude of a woman who thought she was better than everyone else, and certainly didn’t think much of Eric’s company. Before she could say anything, Eric beat her to it.
“Sophie-Anne, this is Sookie Stackhouse, my fiancée. We are to be married in a month,” Eric introduced them, enjoying the look of shock on her face.
“Wow, I didn’t realize you were seeing anyone. I thought you weren’t looking for anything serious?”
Eric was becoming bored of the conversation, but the woman never could take a hint. “I wasn’t with you, but when I met Sookie, I just knew she was someone I could spend the rest of my life with. In fact, we have to get going now. My sister is watching our baby, and I really should relieve her of the duty.” He was willing to say anything to get away from her. She was by far one of the biggest mistakes he ever made.
Sophie-Anne’s eyes widened. “I guess you really have been busy. Well, it was great seeing you again. Good luck with everything,” and with that said, she left the café.
Sookie spoke up once she was gone. “That was your ex, huh?”
“Hardly, she was just someone I took up time with, but she’s nothing but a heartless bitch. Not only did I find her cheating on me, but she also grabbed Olivia, telling her that I would be sending them both to boarding school once she became a permanent part of my life. I wanted nothing to do with her after that. She could fuck whoever she wanted, I could have cared less, but no one lays a finger on my kids.”
Sookie had never seen him so pissed off before, but it was definitely justified. If she knew this information beforehand, she would have taken a swing at that bitch herself. “I’m glad you got rid of her. That just shows how very low class she is, and to choose someone like Quinn over you? What a moron.”
That brought a smile to his lips. “You are the best choice I have ever made. I don’t think anyone else could have cared about my girls the way you do.”
She was touched, leaving some money on the table as they both headed out, suddenly in a hurry to get home.
