SPOV
And, of course The Thing, whatever it was began to chase me, advancing quickly on me, before stretching out one of it's claws, and slashing down my back. The last thing that I remember before passing out was seeing Eric standing in front of me.
SPOV
"Ahhhhhh" I screamed as the pain seared up my back. I jerked and bucked all over the sofa where I was lying, trying to do anything to take the pain away.
Hold on a second … sofa? How the hell did I get here? Wasn't I running towards the bar – Fangtasia when I was attacked? But that thought was quickly pushed – no, sorry, shoved from my head whenever I felt another searing pain shoot up my back.
And then I felt my vision blur once again just before I passed out again.
I don't know how long I had passed out for, but when I came around again, Eric was sitting on another stool, with his hands clasped in his lap, leaning forward, wearing a completely different outfit that he had been wearing before I was attacked.
This time the outfit was a tracksuit. He looked like what I would imagine a human would look if he or she hadn't slept for a week.
"Eric" I croaked, my voice feeling dry and crackly.
"Lover … are you alright? How are you feeling? Lover … tell me, tell me you are alright, please … please" Eric begged, his own voice shaking, as he moved to my side, laying his shins on the floor, and moving the hair out of my face with his fingers.
He leaned forward to place a soft, chaste, but yet still passionate kiss on my lips. When he pulled back, I immediately mourned the loss of his lips on my mouth.
"Eric, what happened?" I asked since I had no idea about what happened after I had passed out.
"Lover … I don't know. When I found you, you were unconscious, and blood was pouring out of your back. I don't know much about human medicine, but I do know that being unconscious and bleeding severely is bad. Horrendously bad. Naturally, I tried to give you my blood, but your body rejected it. It started bouncing, and jerking around. Since I had no idea what it was, I didn't want to ingest it because I might not get all of it out, and because of that, it made no sense to do that. But … lover, rest assured, if you hadn't have come around, if you had have died, I'd have met the sun so that we would be together. But, I called Dr Ludwig. If she hadn't have gotten to you when she did, you would have almost certainly died. " Eric told me.
"So … am I a vampire now?" I asked.
"No … lover, I know you have no desire to become a vampire, even though you'd make an amazing one." Eric said.
"Great .. so how long was I passed out for?" I continued, reaching out to touch Eric's face.
"Three Days. Dr Ludwig should be here soon with your test results," Eric said.
"Test results?" I repeated in a questioning voice.
"Yeah … she took some tests to try to determine how far the poison had seeped into your system. Into your beautiful body" Eric admitted, smiling slightly, even though it wasn't a happy smile. It looked grim at best.
"Ludwig is here" Pam announced from the doorway. "Thank God you are awake Sookie" she continued, before showing the doctor in.
A few minutes later, a small hobbit – like woman, walked into the room.
"Move it , Northman . . . I like to see my patient's as I treat them and talk to them." Ludwig snapped.
Well … at least she was joyful.
Surprisingly, without a word, Eric moved from my side, and went to sit in his office chair. He also didn't take his eyes off of me. I tried not to be hurt with the fact that Eric had moved so easily, but the simple fact was that I was.
"Is it alright if I sit up. I am feeling kind of cramped lying here?" I asked, since I knew that doctor Ludwig would give me a straight answer.
"Sure, if you can that is, but you are to do nothing heavy for a little while. At least a week without doing anything. Especially no sex. You got that. Are you feeling me, Northman?" Eric nodded, before coming to stand beside me.
"Northman … come and give Sookie a little support here" Ludwig squeaked, and then proceeded to tell him which way he should sit. Eric was sitting on the sofa in an instant, and after another 15 minutes of shuffling, I was cradled in the protective circle of Eric's arms.
I was also naked … well not exactly naked … topless.
"Are there any clothes I can wear?" I asked, feeling embarrassed with my nakedness.
"Pam" Eric called, knowing she would be able to hear him. She was in the office in an instant, eyeing me appreciatively. "Get Sookie something to wear.
Pam returned with Eric's red robe, and I pulled it on.
"So … what were the results of the tests you did?" I asked, surprised with my own abruptness.
"Well … it seems that we managed to get all of the poison out of your system, and without any lasting damage to your organs either. You will, however, be left with a scar on your back, but if Northman rubs blood on it, the scar should fade. I also carried out various other tests in regards to your general health and well – being. Your blood pressure, cholesterol level and heart rate are fine. You are the appropriate weight for your height. But, I do also have to ask you, Sookie when was your last period?" Ludwig asked.
"3 days before our wedding … so about 5 weeks ago" I answered, and when I realised what she was asking, and comprehension dawned on me, and the pin dropped, my hands flew straight to my stomach, not knowing what to say.
"Sookie … you are pregnant" Ludwig announced.
Well … what do you think? What will Eric's reaction be?
Also … I can't remember if I spelled out about Sookie being a fairy in DUDMY so in the next chapter, I am going to spell all that out.
