Chapter 5
“You’re what?”
Sookie took in a deep breath to calm her nerves, but knew this was going to be a difficult conversation. “I’m pregnant; please don’t ask me any questions. I don’t feel up to talking about it, but I’m resigning at the bar. I’ve been given another offer that will assure the safety of me and my baby. I want you to know that I appreciate everything you’ve done for me, and I’ve loved working here, but it’s time for me to move on. Let’s face it; you would be better off hiring someone else. I’m always taking off for one reason or another; I’m honestly surprised you’ve kept me around this long. I want us to still be friends, but right now I have to put my baby first. I hope you can understand that.”
Sam took in everything she told him, not quite believing it. “Wait, who’s the father? I thought you’ve only been with Bill and last I checked, vampires can’t get you pregnant.”
She held her hand up, effectively cutting off anymore questions. “I already told you I’m not up to discussing it, the father’s not in the picture and that’s really all you need to know. I’ll come back when I know it’ll be safe for us, if that ever happens, but this is the best option at the moment.”
“Where else could you go that would be safer? Does this new offer have anything to do with Eric? You didn’t tell me much about what happened when he was staying in your house, but I know you got close during that time. I don’t need the details, but how do you know you can really trust him?”
Sookie shrugged. “I just do.”
Arlene scoffed, having heard the whole exchange. “I’ll never understand what you see in those dead things. You obviously came to your senses enough to fuck a human man, yet you’re still going off with some vampire. He’s probably just gonna end up eating your baby.”
Sookie clenched her jaw when the red headed woman walked by, trying to control her temper. She could see Bill sitting in the distance, looking angered and hurt at the same time, but it wasn’t her responsibility to make him feel better. “I’m leaving now, Sam,” she said, giving her former boss a hug. “You take care of yourself, okay?”
He nodded, releasing her after a few seconds. “Be careful, I really hope you know what you’re doing.”
Sookie nodded as well and with one last look at her ex-boyfriend, took off into the night.

“Wow, this was so not what I expected.”
Eric grinned, showing her the rest of his house. “And what exactly were you expecting?”
She shrugged, noticing a cute little fireplace in the corner of the living room. “I don’t know, maybe a luxurious mansion with lots of security and rooms that you would have no use for. I definitely wasn’t expecting a cozy cottage; you could never tell that a vampire lived here just by looking outside.”
“That is the point, but this is just one of my homes. I figured it would be the one most to your liking, and it also happens to be my favorite. Pam is the only other woman who has ever been here.”
Sookie smiled. “I’m very flattered you decided to show it to me. I love it, Eric. It’s the perfect place to raise a child. Not that I’m saying I’ll be here forever, I’ll probably go back to Bon Temps at some point. I don’t want you to think I’ll be completely taking over your space or anything.”
He cut her off with the touch of his lips on hers, caressing her cheek softly. “This is your home now, Sookie. You may stay for as long as you wish. You and the little one will always be welcome here. Come, I will show you to the bedroom.”
Sookie followed after him, having a feeling that would be the next thing he’d show her. The room, just like the rest of the house, was definitely not what she anticipated. It was gorgeous, light colors instead of the dark she expected to see. A king sized bed took up most of the area, draped in silk sheets that looked beyond comfy. There were no windows, which had Sookie believing this was Eric’s room and not a place for guests. “So, I take it you expect for me to share this room with you?”
Eric scratched the back of his neck. “It is where I rest, but I suppose if you are uncomfortable, there is always the spare bedroom. It’s not as big, but should be accommodating. I also have a third room, but it’s more of an office.”
She shook her head, biting her bottom lip. “I don’t mind sharing; I just need to know what we’re doing. Are we in a relationship, or are we just two friends playing house? I need to know what you expect to happen with us because if you just want sex, I might not be able to deliver for a while. I know we can’t go back to how things were when you were cursed. You still don’t remember, but I would like to know that we’re actually leading somewhere. You offered to let me stay here and care for my baby, while I’m very grateful for that, I need to know it’s not just because you feel guilty.”
“I do feel guilty, but you being here is much more than that. This is all very new to me, Sookie. I don’t like having feelings, and the one time that happened, I don’t recall any of it. You are unlike anyone I’ve ever known before. I feel this strong urge to protect you, and that urge has carried on to your child as well. If more is to happen between us, it will be on your terms. I won’t push you for anything.”
Sookie knew he was being sincere; Eric had never lied to her before. She wrapped her arms around his tall frame, resting her head against his chest. “Thank you for bringing me here, and for being patient with me.”
He kissed the top of her head, holding her tighter in his embrace. Eric remembered one important thing about the spell that was used to take his memories away, it would lead him to his heart’s desire. Now that he was holding Sookie, and with everything they’d been through since she first came to Fangtasia, it explained a lot of why he was headed toward her house that fateful night.
