A/N: Just a one shot couple chapter fic of my favorite couple. Hope you all enjoy. Rated M for Language.
The nights wintery winds were cold and unforgiving as they blew through the streets of London. Pam paid no mind to Jack Frost's kiss nipping at her checks as she bore down the street of Egerton Crescent toward the flat, her and Tara share along with Jessica. Tara couldn't bear the thought of leaving her with the monster that Bill Compton had become. They had moved to London after the escape from the authority. Not only to escape the down fall of Louisiana, but to work on their future as a couple, well that was Tara's intension anyway. She didn't need to deal with distractions of chaos that plagued the state. Tara needed Pam's full attention, because we all know that Pam isn't capable of any rational emotion. Pam had went for a walk after one of her and Tara's heated discussions about their estranged relationship or lack there of. Pam didn't want to deal with the thought of having any emotions or feelings toward another person other than Eric. Eric was all she knew for the last century and she wanted to keep it that way. Pam recalls the interaction between her and her progeny hours before and is sudden plagued with enormous amounts of grief, had she really gone too far this time?
Pam sat at a quant desk in an elegant study of her Million dollar flat in Egerton Crescent. Scrolling through the screens on her computer looking at the News feeds about Louisiana. Eric had stayed behind to make sure Sookie was safe, when both her and her brother refused to move. Pam talked to Eric on a daily basis, she missed him terribly and wished he would join her without the fairy princess.
Tara watched Pam from the door way. She couldn't help but marvel at the pure beauty that glowed from her.
"Why are you staring at me" Pam inquired, not looking up from her computer screen.
"Because I think you are beautiful" Tara responded.
"Well, thank you for stating the obvious sweet heart, but I am in no mood for sentiments" Pam deadpanned, still not taking her attention off the computer screen.
Pam's response didn't sit right with the young vampire. So Tara leisurely walks into the study and over to the desk. Stands beside Pam waiting for acknowledgement from the blonde. When Tara receives none she does the only logical thing she can think of to get her attention, she slams her computer screen shut.
"Are you fucking stupid!?" Pam belts has she jolts from her chair to stand face to face with the Brunette.
"I had to get your attention some way" Tara answers
"Well being an insufferable cunt is not going to get you anywhere!" Pam exclaimed
Calmly Tara starts speaking " Now, Now Barbie there is no use in the name calling, its not becoming of you. I am just simply tired of this cat and mouse game you and I play. I save you from the authority, kiss those pretty pink lips of yours, move us to London and still I cannot get you to give me the time of night".
Pam quirks her eye brow and places her hands on her hips. " Just because I let my gaurd down for a fraction of a second and let you think you were a knight in shining armour, doesnt mean you are or will ever be in my eyes. You were stupid for riding up in there, putting yourself and everyone around you in danger. I am not appreciative of your act, I could have very well taken care of myself, just like I have for last 140 years. I dont need you, nor do I want you. You are my progeny and it is my duty to make sure you survive and are taken care of". Pam makes sure Tara understands this next sentence perfectly clear, she leans in and slowly whispers "Other than that, you. are. nothing. to me"
Pam's words slowly snake around Tara's dead heart. Constricted with pain Tara lets out a almost silent sigh of defeat, but Tara is to strong willed to give Pam the satisfaction of it. She simply gives Pam a nod and turns to walk away, she almost makes it to the door when she turns to speak. "You know, I have dealt with a lot of horrid people in my life time, but you Pam, you take the cake. I don't know what happened to you in your life to make you such a frigid bitch but it must of been horrible and I feel sorry for you. Sorry that you will never know what it feels like to love or let someone love you. I am sorry that you'll never experience true happiness" Tara draws in an unnecessary ragged breath and stares at the floor for a moment, chuckles to her self and lifts up her head so she is staring right in to the azure colored eyes of her maker. "I would rather meet the true death, than live an eternity with you the way you are." with that Tara turns and walks away.
Upon entering the flat, Pam finds Jessica sitting on the couch watching British television while nursing a bottle of True Blood. She along with Tara really couldn't stand to leave her behind, not with that mother fucker Bill Compton supped up on some kinda of ancient vampire blood. Despite what Tara thinks she is capable of caring.
Pam pulls her coat off and places it on the coat rack near the door, she see Jessica shift and become rigged as she makes her way to the couch. Surprisingly Pam takes a seat next to Jessica and crosses her legs. Jessica whom is in utter shock at the closeness of Pam stutters "A-are you okay"
Pam sighs "I have been better"
"Oh" Jessica replies, feeling a little bit more braver now asks "anything you want to talk about"?
Pam scoffs and crosses her arm "I cannot believe I am confiding in you, but you are the only person within a thousand miles that I can talk to. Eric cares more about Sookie's magic snatch than me"
Jessica covers her mouth to hide the smile the was playing with the corners of her mouth "He cares about you Pam, he just didn't come with us because he knows that Tara will take care of you"
Pam gets scoffs again as she rolls her eyes "See, thats the thing, what in the world makes you all think that I need taken care of"? Pam uncrosses her leg and leans up placing her elbows on her knees and her head in her hands. "Especially from someone like Tara"
Jessica just starts at Pam's sudden posture and crinkles her eyebrow and speaks "I am sorry Pam, I don't want to over step my boundaries here but, what is so wrong with her"? Cautiously Jessica continues "If someone like Tara would bust into a highly guarded facility to save me and throw open a sliver door just to touch me, Id be hooked for life. She loves you Pam and I believe in my dead heart she would die a thousand times over for you without question. I think you need to give her a chance"
Pam sits quietly for a few moments before moving her eyes over to Jessica. Crimson tears threaten to spill over her eye lids. She knows Jessica is right, she knows every word of it is true. Jessica reaches out and grabs Pam's hand giving it a squeeze. At this small sentiment, Pam's demeanor diminishes and she begins to sob. Hearing the pain in Pam's cries, Jessica scoots over and take Pam in her arms for a hug. Surprisingly Pam doesn't resist, as she sinks into Jessica's embrace she chokes back the sob in her throat to speak "I need someone to show me how to love"
Jessica only holds Pam tighter, unable to find the words to comfort her. She starts to speak when she hears Tara behind them clearing her throat, standing with her hands on her hips staring daggers in the back on Pam's head.
