Chapter 4
Sookie awoke to find Eric staring at her, a glance at the clock showed that she’d only been asleep for a couple of hours and it was still dark out.
“Hey, I thought you would have left by now.”
He nodded, putting a bag down in front of her. “I left to pick something up for you.”
She raised her eyebrows, perusing through the contents to see three home pregnancy tests inside. “Is this some sort of joke?”
Eric shook his head. “I wish it was, lover. With my enhanced hearing, I can detect a second heartbeat in you. I knew you weren’t likely to just take my word for it, so I brought you these. I hear one is not always accurate.”
“No, I can’t be pregnant. You heard wrong.”
He sat down beside her, taking her trembling hand in his. “I know I didn’t, but that is why you have these. Believe me; vampires don’t make a habit of purchasing pregnancy tests. I must have gotten several confused stares at the store, and it had nothing to do with my looks. I’m sure everyone there knew what I was.”
Sookie gazed at the tests, not knowing what to do, but it would definitely explain her sudden queasiness. She headed to the bathroom with the bag in her hand, closing the door behind her. It was now or never.

Eric waited patiently for her to return. When she did, her eyes were red and puffy.
“Three pregnancy tests and they were all positive. God, how could this be happening? I’ve always wanted kids, but not like this. I wanted them with a loving husband, and I wanted it to be planned. It wasn’t supposed to be like this.”
He took her in his arms, letting her cry against his chest. “I’m very sorry, dear one, but you will get through this.”
She shook her head. “My life is too dangerous, how can I bring a child into it? And what am I going to do when she starts asking questions about her father? I’m not ready for this.”
“There are other ways, if you do not wish to keep the baby.”
Sookie gasped, moving away from him. “You mean abortion? No, I could never do that. This baby may not have been conceived in the most conventional way, but she’s already a part of me. I could never get rid of her, or him. That’s gonna get confusing, so I think I’ll stick with her for now.”
Eric nodded in understanding. “I have another suggestion. You come to live in my house. I have a very trustworthy security system. Only a select few have access, Pam being one of them. No one else would ever be permitted unless I allowed it. You and the child would be safe there. I can hire contractors to make the place more suitable for the both of you. We can raise her together.”
To say Sookie was shocked would have been an understatement. “Who are you, and what have you done with Eric Northman?”
He rolled his eyes. “I may be a vampire, but I do know a thing or two about children. And no, I do not eat them. This is your child, lover; she is already precious to me. I promise that I will do everything in my power to protect you both.”
Tears were streaming down her face, and she planned on blaming the hormones. “I can’t believe you would do that.”
“It is what I would have done when cursed, right? From what you have told me, I was willing to give everything up for you. I know you would have no reason to lie. This is my chance to prove I can be that person again, if that is what you want.”
Sookie wrapped her arms around his waist. “I just want you.” It was about time she finally admitted that, there would be no going back now.
He lowered his head, kissing her lips tenderly.
“I know you can’t really give up everything. A lot of people depend on you, but just you offering to do that is enough for me. I just don’t think I’m ready to give up my life here. My friends, my job, but I don’t know what the hell I’m going to tell them. The truth is bound to come out now, or maybe I can just say it was a meaningless one night stand. I’d rather them think I was a slut instead of a rape victim. Give me a few more weeks; you said that your place needed to be fixed up first. I just need a little more time to get everything settled here.”
Eric smiled. “Does that mean you are going to take my offer?”
She let out a breath. “I guess it does, but you better not make me regret it. I just hope you know what you’ll be getting yourself into.”
“Oh, I know that very well, but I am surprised by this. You usually would put up more of a fight, give me some speech about not wanting to be a kept woman.”
Sookie scrunched up her nose. “It is annoying how well you know me. Normally I would, but I actually think your idea is a good one. If it was just me, I probably wouldn’t even be considering this, but I have my baby to think of now. I would feel safer with you, and it’s not like you could move in here. I’d feel guilty for you having to sleep in that hidey hole every night. Besides, it would be great to live somewhere and know that my ex-boyfriend wasn’t so close by. I feel like I can’t even go for a walk anymore without him watching my every move.”
“That will not be a problem,” Eric told her. “I have wooden firearms surrounding my house that are triggered to go off at the first sight of Bill Compton.”
Her eyes widened. “Seriously? I think that’s a bit drastic.”
He chuckled, taking her back in his arms. “I wasn’t being serious, but you just say the word and I will have them installed.”
Sookie pretended to consider it. “As tempting as that is, you don’t have to bother. I think he’ll be leaving me alone now, and if not, Bill knows that he has you to deal with. He smelled you on me when he came in the bar the other night.”
Eric growled. “I will be glad once you rid yourself of that place, but I know the shifter is important to you. If you would like, I could give you a job at Fangtasia. Even though you will never have to worry about money, I know how you like to feel useful.”
“Thanks for the offer, but I really don’t see myself fitting in there. After what happened, I’m a little reluctant to go back. It would be more dangerous than working at Merlotte’s.”
He shook his head. “I need some assistance with the paperwork; we get a lot of it. That is something you can do at home, you won’t have to go to the club if you don’t wish to.”
Sookie sighed in relief. That sounded like a better plan to her, and with a new baby, she wouldn’t want to leave the house very often. Sookie never saw herself as the stay at home mom type, but with how hectic her life had been lately, she would welcome it at the moment.
