Chapter 6
Sookie called Eric to let him know where his wandering daughter was. She assured him that Olivia was well taken care of, and that she would bring her straight home after they ran a few errands. He seemed suspicious, but eventually gave in.
“Why do they have so many to choose from?”
“Everyone is different,” Sookie told her, taking her hand when she made her selection. Once they left the store, Sookie wasn’t watching where she was going and bumped into someone. A person she hoped to never see again. “What are you doing here, Bill?”
He gave her a startled look, glancing down to see that she wasn't alone. “I knew that you went on our trip by yourself, so I came to make you realize what a mistake it would be to leave me. This is ridiculous, Sookie. I’ve given you space by not coming the second I found out, but now it’s time to go home. We've been together for two years. I messed up, but who hasn't? It's not worth throwing our entire relationship away. Is this why you came here? To get back at me?”
Sookie glared at her former boyfriend. “Not everything is about you, Bill Compton. I came here for me. I've been looking forward to this trip for a long time. I wasn't going to let your betrayal ruin it for me. You wasted time coming here; I wouldn't get back with you if you were the last man on earth. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have an elsewhere to be. Come on, Olivia,” she finished, pulling the girl away. “I'm sorry about that.”
Olivia shrugged. “That's the guy you used to date? I don't blame you for leaving him. What a douche.”
She laughed. “You sound like my friend Amelia; she’s always calling him that.”
“You definitely need my dad in your life.”
Sookie smiled. “Very subtle, but we’ll talk about that later.” She finally reached Eric’s place, taking a deep breath before knocking on the door. When he opened it, she almost forgot how gorgeous he was. It felt like she hadn’t seen him in forever.
Eric took his daughter in his arms, lifting her off the ground. “Don’t ever do that to me again, all right? If you wanted to visit Sookie, I could have taken you,” he said, placing her back on the floor.
“I didn’t think you would take me if I just asked.”
Eric nodded. “Well, now you’re grounded. You know better than to wander off on your own.”
Olivia groaned, stomping off to her room, but taking a peek in on her sister first.
“Is Sookie here?” Emma wondered.
Olivia sat down on her bed. “She just dropped me off, hopefully they’ll talk now. I’ve done all I can.”
Emma rested her head on Olivia’s shoulder. “Do you think we’ll be getting a new mommy?”
She shrugged. “I don’t know, Em. It’s up to them now, but adults are so confusing.”
Emma had to agree, praying that everything would work out.

“Thank you for bringing her home. I’m very sorry about this.”
“It was no problem, I actually had fun. You have a very bright daughter,” Sookie explained.
Eric smiled. “That worries me sometimes, but she takes after her mother.”
Sookie inhaled another deep breath of air. “She needs you a lot right now, even if she won’t admit it right away. You two should talk.”
He agreed, grabbing her arm to stop her from leaving. “I think we should talk as well, but not here. Pam is coming by later tonight to watch the girls. I can be at your hotel at eight, if you don’t have other plans.”
“That’s fine; I was just going to stay in tonight.”
Eric was pleased with her answer, taking her hand and placing a kiss to her palm. “I’ll see you then.”
Sookie blushed, pulling her hand away. With one last nod, she left the apartment, thinking about what she would wear later that night.

“You look very handsome, Dad.”
He smiled at his daughter. “Thank you, princess, but you’re still grounded.”
Olivia shrugged. “It’s a small price to pay. Sookie will be unable to resist you, especially since her ex-boyfriend is here.”
That got his attention. “What are you talking about?”
“We ran into him earlier. He gave her some crap about trying to win her back, but she totally told him off. This guy is a complete loser, Daddy. You’re ten times better than he is.”
Eric was touched by that, but couldn’t ignore the rest of what she said. “That’s not nice, Liv, whether it’s the truth or not. I raised you to be more respectful than that.”
She shrugged again. “Aunt Pam said that she can always spot a loser from a mile away. I bet she would agree with me. She always says a loser is someone who doesn’t have a pair of…”
He cut her off with a raise of his hand, rolling his eyes in the process. “I’m going to kill that woman. You shouldn’t be listening to everything your aunt says. I’ll be back in a few hours. Watch your sister, and make sure Pam doesn’t burn the house down. You will ignore anything that comes out of her mouth, understood?”
Olivia nodded, giving him a hug before he could leave. “Don’t let her go, Daddy. You’ll regret it for the rest of your life.”
“I wish I didn’t have to, sweetheart. Don’t stay up too late, I want you both in bed by the time I get home.” He kissed the top of her head, and with a few last words to Pam, took off to meet with Sookie.

Sookie fixed her hair one final time when there was a knock at her door, smiling as she went to answer it, but her smile quickly faded at who was standing there.
