The next time Sookie woke she found Dr. Ludwig beside her, examining her, Raeanne was half unconscious in the chair next to her bed. The sun was setting beyond the curtains.

"Where's Eric?" Sookie asked.

"He's asleep. He would have stayed at your side, but erm, Dr. Ludwig was being a pain." Raeanne seemed to be struggling to stay awake.

"Why aren't you asleep?"

"Me? I don't have to be asleep."

"I'm studying you next."

"And then there's that, I'm not letting her poke and prod me while I'm sleeping." She stifled a yawn and got up to walk twice around the room and sat down again.

"I think it'd be better for me to keep an eye on her, but I need to return to Florida." Dr. Ludwig told Raeanne, "Do you think Eric will mind."

"Sookie's sitting right there, ask her." Raeanne snapped rudely.

"Sookie, do you think Eric will mind."

Sookie narrowed her eyes at the doctor, "I think I'll mind." She replied angrily.

"Well, I'll just have a talk with him when he wakes soon." Ludwig said and sat down in the other chair, watching Raeanne with extreme interest. Raeanne glanced at the clock, almost time for Eric to rise. Raeanne was quickly becoming more alert, the sun disappeared and the moon rose, and Eric was next to Sookie before any of them could blink.

"I wish to study her." Ludwig said, "And I need to keep an eye on your wife." Eric nodded.

"So where do you need to move her?"

"Florida."

"Oka-."

The door burst open and a frantic K.D. came in, blood stains on her face, tears, "Something's happened to Pam!" she sobbed, Raeanne was at her side in an instant as she fell to the ground, crying.

Eric was at their side seconds later, "what do you mean? I don- this morning..oh god. K.D, do you know anything?"

She nodded and extended her cell phone, "there holding her for ransom, Eric, they're going to take more of us if we don't pay them."

"Fine I have money."

"Look at what they want Eric." He glanced back at the phone.

"They want you two." Eric whispered. Raeanne's face remained stony. Eric growled in frustration. Ludwig took the phone and examined the message.

"Wonderful you can still come to Florida." Raeanne picked the doctor up and flung her out the door quickly returning to K.D's side. Eric got up and went to Sookie's side, she was horrified and shaking.

Sookie whats wrong?

My stomach..it got bigger. Raeanne glanced up at the bed and saw Sookie was right, she hadn't been round at all a few seconds ago, now she looked as if she was 3 months pregnant.

"We have to go to Florida." Eric replied, "Raeanne, K.D, your coming with us, I know you've been on your own for awhile, but I need to keep an eye on you."

Raeanne looked away, ashamed.

Last night

Raeanne walked into the house, Eric was sitting on the couch anger etched into his face. She slowly sat down in a chair, not looking at him.

"How many?"

Raeanne didn't answer right away, she shrunk back into the chair, "5 or 6, for K.D. 10 or 12 for me." She whispered, "its not like in twilight where BAM! You're a vampire but you don't have the uncontrollable urge to rip someones throat out and eat them."

Eric sighed, "I know, but you shouldn't have left if you were ready."

"I left so you wouldn't have to deal with your mistake." She hissed, "I left so you could live your little happy life. It's not my fault its gotten worse, humans, the ones we attacked, they smell like Sookie."

"Your attack fae?" Raeanne nodded, "I understand that its hard to control but you have to try harder."

"I am, I mean, Sookie I haven't and I don't feel compelled to eat her. Probably because she's marked as yours and you're my m-creator."

"Yes, I am your creator. And I demand that you stay with me, you and K.D, until I can trust you again."

"You make it sound like you've trusted me at all." Raeanne snapped.

Sookie was puzzled, "what do you mean?"

"Another time lover." Eric replied.

"We need to leave tonight." Ludwig intoned from beyond the door.

"Go pack girls. I'll help you pack Sookie." Raeanne and K.D disappeared, coming back an hour later with their bags. They packed up a van and drove to Ludwig's private jet. They we're in Florida shortly after that. But where they wound up had Raeanne paralyzed in shock.

"You work in my old house?" they all stood outside the tiny place, Raeanne frozen feet behind them.

"Yes, come on get your vampire but in the house." Ludwig said, spotting a human boy walking toward them. Raeanne glanced over at him, her jaw dropped and she was in the house in seconds.

"You and K.D may have that retched purple room down the hall." Ludwig said, Raeanne growled at her and went down the hallway.

"It's Scooby doo purple and magenta pink." She mumbled to herself.

"Eric, Sookie, the room next to theirs." Eric and Sookie moved into that room and shut the door, Raeanne and K.D closed theirs as well, locking the door.
