Life As I Know It
It's been six years since Edward left me and it's also been five years and eleven months since Eric and I been together. See after Edward left me in the woods and Sam found me, Charlie died in a car accident the next day and Renee and Phil died the same day in… you guessed it… a car accident. So, I did some research and found out that I had a cousin (from my mom's side of the family) that lived in Bon Temps. Her name is Sookie Stackhouse.
A week after I moved in, the vampires "came out of the coffin" as they like to joke. But they weren't the same as the Cullen's. Another week passed and Sookie fell for Bill (a vampire). She was very curious about the new vampire bar in Shreveport and begged me to go with her (of course Bill was going too), so I went along with it. And that's where I met Eric Northman.
At first I really didn't want anything with him. But after a few gifts and a lot of insisting, I accepted for one date (against Bill's and Sookie's wishes). I didn't think he was going to stick around for too long, but to my surprise we went out on a second date. By our third date I found out I was pregnant. It was Edward's kid. At first Eric was furious (not at me, he was mad at Edward because he left me pregnant). But he decided to raise him as his own. Three months later I gave birth and nearly died but before my heart stopped, Eric gave me enough blood so I could live (without turning me into a vampire).
I had a baby boy named Santiago Northman (That's my fav. name if I have a baby boy I'm going to name him Santiago). He has Edward's hair and my eyes. Santiago is half-vampire half-human. He has three gifts, he can read minds and project them to whomever he wants and he is a sponge. Right after he was born Eric and I decided to move to Dallas for Santiago's sake (we moved in with Godric).
A year after, I got pregnant again (seriously, what is it with me and getting pregnant). This time it was Eric's child. He was very excited and nervous at the same time, because he knew that this time I probably wouldn't survive. After my third month I gave birth but this time Eric changed me.
I had another baby boy named Adrian Northman. He has Eric's blonde hair, his electric blue eyes and his personality (you know that there is always a kid that is the exact copy of one of their parents. Well that's Adrian). He has three gifts, he can fly, he can have fangs if he wants and he is a sponge.
Santiago is now six years old but looks 21 and Adrian is five years old but looks 20. Adrian will stop to grow next year when he will look 21 and Santiago already stopped growing.
When I was changed we discovered that thanks to James venom in my system I can day walk, but I do not sparkle. I have three gifts, I can change who ever I want to human (including myself), I am a mental and physical shield and I am a sponge.
Now I'm in the kitchen making brunch before we leave to Shreveport.
"Adrian! Wake up! We are leaving in two hours!" I yelled.
"Shhh. Mom. I have a massive hangover" he said while heading towards the freezer.
Adrian is just as tall as his father.
"You're not even suppose to be drinking till next year" I told him, while finishing brunch.
"I know mom, but Damon was in town and you know" he said, sitting down in a stool while putting ice in his head.
"Trust me is better if I don't" I said.
Having Adrian and Damon Salvatore in the same room is like having the devil in person. Okay… maybe I'm exaggerating a little, but my point is that having the both of them in the same room is really bad news.
"You're lucky that we are moving this time" Santiago said, sitting down next to him.
"Ha ha ha. Very funny. Last time I checked you were drinking too. Why the hell don't you have a massive hang over like me?" Adrian asked him, very pissed.
"Because, stupid. I had two Tylenols before I went to bed" he said smirking.
"You are fucking asshole. Why didn't you tell me to take some?" Adrian yelled fangs out.
This isn't going to end well and I'm not in the mood for this shit. Thank God Eric wakes up in two minutes. I'll leave the discipline to him.
"Because, I love watching you suffer" Santiago said giving him a fanged grin.
With Adrian's temper I'll give him three seconds before he has Santiago by throat. Three, two, one… Adrian grabbed him by throat and lift up.
"I swear to God that if you weren't my brother, I will have ripped your fucking head off" Adrian yelled.
"I will love to see you try, brother" Santiago said, smirking.
Suddenly Santiago got out of Adrian's grasp. Since he can read his thoughts he knew his every move and he dodge all of Adrian's blows. Adrian using my power, shields his mind, when Santiago notices he got distracted and Adrian hit him on the nose. Adrian
suddenly stopped when he saw a very pissed off Viking.
"How many times have I told you two, no fighting in the house" Eric yelled at them both.
Then he looks at Santiago's bloody nose. Since he was half-human he could bleed, but he didn't heal as fast as Adrian. Since Edward never got hurt, he never healed. I took a good look at Santiago's nose and I think it might be broken. I was now by his side.
"Baby, are you okay?" I asked him.
"Yeah, mom. But I think my nose is broken." He said while touching his nose and flinching. "Yeah, definitely broken" he said.
"Serves you right" Adrian said.
"Why were you fighting about this time?" Eric asked pissed.
He looked at Santiago for an explanation.
"We were out last night with Damon Salvatore and Adrian started drinking. I was drinking myself, but when we got home I took two Tylenols before going to bed and didn't tell Adrian to take some so, now he has a massive hangover." Santiago said.
Eric looked very pissed off. Godric just stood there like he couldn't believe they just fought for something so stupid. Stan on the other hand was chuckling.
"So you decided to break his nose! You really got to control your temper" Eric yelled at Adrian.
"The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, Eric" Adrian said coldly.
"Adrian! Don't talk like that to your father!" I scolded at him.
Eric looked like he was about to kill him. I was still standing next to Santiago. Godric was now next to Eric.
"Eric" Godric started, putting a hand on his shoulder. "cred că ar trebui să le mănânce şi apoi vom discuta despre pedeapsa (I think we should let them eat and then discuss punishment)" he said in Romanian.
Eric looked at Santiago then at Adrian and finally at me. He took a deep breath, which means he is very frustrated. "You are right, Godric" he said looking at his maker.
"Adrian, Santiago. Eat, we are leaving in a hour" Eric said and left the room to cool of a bit.
I turn to Adrian and smack him on the back of his head.
"Ow! What was that for?" he asked rubbing the back of his head.
"That was for talking to your father like that! Now give me your iphone" I said extending my hand.
"Why?" he whined.
Seriously he sometimes acts like a five year old.
"I'm confiscating it for six months for breaking your brother's nose" I said.
"That's my only punishment?" he asked with a little hope.
"Hell no! I'm taking your iPhone, computer; I'm donating your Xbox 360 and not buying you a new one till next year." I said.
"Come on. Mom. Don't be so cruel." He whined.
"Do you want me to donate your corvette?" I asked arching my right eyebrow. Behind me I heard Santiago chuckling.
"If you don't want the same punishment you better stop chuckling, Santiago" I told him and he immediately stopped.
"Adrian I want all of it, in five minutes or you will lose them all for good" I warned him.
In a blink of an eye his iPhone, computer and Xbox were in the kitchen counter. Adrian was now eating.
"Mom, is this yours and dad punishment?" Adrian asked with a little hope.
"You wish. This is only my punishment. You will have to wait for your fathers and by the looks of it; it's not going to be pretty." I told him.
Eric and I believe that each of us should give a different punishment. I always confiscate stuff. Eric on the other hand makes them work till they beg for mercy.
"Come on, Santiago. Let's fix your nose" I said.
"Seriously we should've teleported there" Adrian whined for the fifth time. "We would've gotten there in a blink of an eye. I mean taking an air plane is so boring" he finished.
"Shut the hell up, Adrian! I'm sick and tired of your selfish ass..!" Santiago yelled.
I could see that Eric was growing impatient with the two of them. I put my hand in his and gave it a little squeeze. He looked at me, his electric blue eyes full of love but at the same time he looked like he was about to snap. I kissed him, which always did the trick. As soon as I kissed him his anger was nonexistent. The kiss could've lasted longer but we were interrupted by Adrian's yelling.
"Who the hell do you think you are? You're not my fucking father, hell you're not even my fucking brother you're my half brother. You don't even know who your fucking father is..!" Adrian yelled.
Santiago's expression was blank. He just sat there staring at nothing. Adrian started to say something but got cut off by Eric.
"I think you've said enough, Adrian. Why don't you teleport yourself to the bar." Eric said coldly.
Adrian got up and went to Santiago. "I'm sorry Santi. I didn't mean to-" he got cut off by Santiago.
"The damage is already done, Adrian" he said coldly without looking at him.
With that Adrian was gone. Eric and I are now sitting next to Santiago and Godric is sitting across from us. We sat there in silence for at least two minutes, before Santiago finally spoke.
"Mom, I want to know who my biological father is." He said.
