Dear Sookie,
It's been a year to the day since I lost you to the coma. I've tried to be strong and raise our kids the way I think you would want them to be raised. Well more like they are raising me and I'm just along for the ride. Little Jason's nit wit father has finally perfected the formula to reverse being a vampire. I allowed him to administer to the kids after it was well tested . They are now wholly human again and happy. They opted for boarding school as being here without you is to depressing . Sadly, for the not so good doctor I had to kill him and have the formula destroyed. I know you would be frowning heavily at me if you were awake, and I understand why. But my dearest you have to understand why I had to do it. If that formula was to be leaked our race would be wiped out and I would surely never get you back. At least now that you've been turned you are safe from dieing of old age. I have eternity to get you back and I will if it's the last thing I ever do. I've taken to writing in this journal so you have something to look at when you awake. Until then may you have sweet dreams and remember this lover…. You are my sleeping beauty.
A knock at my door caused me to loose my train of thought and without waiting for my permission to enter Pam barged in toting my little pixie of a daughter. She was dressed in a pink princess dress with little flowers attached to the little hair she had. Her shoes were pink and sparkly. Yes, I the big bad vampire had a very pink loving child. Oh if the boys in the grave yard could see me now.
"Here she is the birthday girl." Pam announced and deposited the small bundle of joy on my lap. She giggled and held up her newest doll. I looked as if it was the most amazing thing ever. Then I did a double take. The doll had dark brown hair and blue eyes with the name Bill stitched across it. It also had little cloth fangs hanging from it's mouth. I groaned out loud. Yes it was true my daughter simply loved her Uncle Bill. Sometimes I think more then she loved me. She held it up further as if the doll was going to kiss me and I pulled away. No way on this earth would I allow Bill in any form to kiss me. They would have to tie me up with silver and poke stakes through every part of my body first. I would not kiss that doll Sam I am. I would not could not with a fox. I would not could not in a box. I would not could not Sam I am. And I really need to find a new bed time story to read to Rose.
Rose with her big blue eye's turned on her charm and sent me the biggest set of puppy dog eye's ever. I would be strong. I would prevail. I chanted to myself. I tried to look away from her but finally she beat the big bad Viking and I leaned down and puckered up and quickly kissed the doll. The things I do for the love of my daughter.
She laughed happily and then binged me in the side of the head with the Bill doll. "Bonk" She laughed and tried to do it again and I let her. Just to hear her laugh. Pam who had been quite the whole time finally spoke up.
"Jason Stackhouse is here and so are the other guest." I got up and plastered on my biggest cheesiest grin and Pam winced. It couldn't be that bad of a grin. Or was it?
"Eric just be yourself. We know it's been hard on you this past year and no one expects you to just forget Sookie." I let my cheesy grin go and looked at Rose. For her I would be well behaved and pretend that everything was okay.
"Well baby girl what do you say to some cake and ice cream?" She cocked her head at me in a classic what a stupid question poss. Then she hit me in the head with Bill the doll again.
"Bonk Da" She said and giggled again.
I made my way through the crowd of people who had gathered to celebrate the birth of my daughter. This day was both a blessing and a curse for me. It was the day I had gained Rose, but also the day I lost my Sookie.
I settled Rose behind the cake and waited for the party to sing happy birthday. Then I helped her blow out the candle. I made the wish for her since I knew she missed her mom to.
Please come back Sleeping Beauty.
An: I'm back again. So a few things this is going to be various one shots of Eric raising Rose up until she figures out how to save Sookie. Yeah I know I'm going to make Rose more advanced then most kids, but she is part vamp so I figured it would be okay. So review let me know if I should continue with this.
