CHAPTER 9

Pam heard a knock on her bedroom door. She knew it was the girls by their heartbeats. Only they were beating faster then normal. She hurried to open the door.

"What is wrong girls? Has something happened?" Pam asked

"Aunt Pam can we talk to you?" they asked at the same time

"Of course" Pam said as she opened the door for them to come in. It had been almost 5 years since Pam had returned and she still wasn't used to the way the twins talked sometimes.

They sat on her bed while she sat in her chair. She waved her hand letting them know that she was ready to hear what they had to say.

"Well, you know we finished school a couple years back" Elly started

"And we don't really need to work." Erica said

"Yes. It was the first milestone of your life I was there for of course I remember. I thought you girls liked working for the organization?" Pam asked. About 2 years ago she opened a branch of SAVE FROM RAPE in Bon temps. The girls loved working there. They were also the ones that figured out that the name was an anagram for my name minus 4 letters. Smart those two are.

"Oh no. We do. It's just you know Erica has been dating Ikaika again for a long time now" Elly said

"And Adele's Blood Pies Bakery is doing fine. She hardly ever needs to be there" Erica said

"and were turning 30 this year so" they both said

"So what girls. What is that you want? You already know I am going to say yes. So out with it." Pam said

"She wants to get married. She wants to be turned " they said at the same time while pointing at each other.

It was a very rare occasion that Pam was speechless, but she had nothing to say she didn't even know who said what. All she could do was just stare at both of them with her mouth wide open.

"Auntie your catchin flies there." Elly said.

She closed her mouth and continued to stare. No movement at all. Pure shock.

"Great we finally killed her of shock. Can vamps die of shock? Is she flaking any where?" Erica said

"No we cannot." Pam said finally getting her voice back "Ok slowly now and one at a time."

"I'll go first. So you know that Ikaika and I have been having a long distance relationship again for a while now. Well, he flew in two nights ago and surprised me. We got to talking and..."

"Your rambling Erica get to the point." Elly barked

"Soorry. Anyways, He asked me to marry him. I said yes. I have loved him since I was 16." Erica said in her normal bored tone. Then she pulled the ring out her pocket. It was beautiful. It was a platinum dolphin curved around with the nose and the tail touching on the sides of two one karat sapphires the same color as her eyes and a 2 karat diamond in the center

"It's about time he manned up and asked you. I am very happy for you, but I saw you last night and you did not have that. If Ikaika is in town where was he how come he didn't come to family dinner?" Pam asked

"He wants to talk to dad and you." Pam was shocked. She could understand Eric but her.

"why me?" Pam asked

"I told him your history. He told me that even though you were not physically here for most of our lives you have followed us like a shadow since we were born. He made me realize that it was harder on you then us. We didn't even know you existed til after mom's passing but you. You had to watch us grow in letters and photos because of the actions you took. That was your true punishment to have a family that was unavailable. Aunt Pam I am sorry I am so sorry." Erica was crying. Pam wasn't sure if she should take a picture to prove it really happen or comfort her niece. She chose the latter.

When Erica was finished crying she straitened up and wiped her face . "So now it's Elly's turn" Erica said

"Yes then, so you want to be turned" Pam said. It was a statement not a question

"Yes auntie I have no desire for children or any of that. I have no desire to die. I would prefer to stay with you and daddy forever. You don't think mom would disapprove, do you?" Elly looked kind of worried.

"Well, first of all stop scrunching your face like that. You must learn to control your facial features. You can feel whatever you like, but you cannot show it. Not to mention you don't want to have worry lines for the rest of eternity. As for your mother, she would be proud of you no matter what you chose." Pam told her.

Pam knew that this was the moment that Sookie had meant when she asked her to look after her girls and help them.

"Ok Erica you will have Ikaika over for dinner tomorrow and we will announce your betrothal to your father. Then after they leave Elly we will speak to your father." Pam stated " Also I am proud of you girls."

The next night we sat in the dining room waiting for Eric to arrive. That boy is going to faint. I know it. Oooo...I wonder if I can make him Pam thought. No Pam Sookie would not approve.

"So Ikaika will you be moving here?" I ask. I have to do something to calm him down. He's as stiff as a corpse ha ha I crack myself up.

"Don't worry sweetie, He can only kill you once. " Erica chuckled

"Well technically he could turn you then kill you, there by killing you twice, or he can turn and torture you for centuries or he could just..."

"PAM. Stop your just being mean. Besides he can't turn him against his will." Erica said Oh this is to much fun. Why did Erica stop me?

"As opposed to what killing him against his will." Erica must really be nervous because usually she is joking right along with me. Poor Ikaika was getting paler by the minute .He hadn't said a word.

Finally Eric showed up. "Sorry I am late, but now I have the whole night free. Let's enjoy our meal. Ikaika good to see you. What brings you to town? Another water park to design?" Eric asked

Ok here comes the fun part. Wait for it...

"Well sir,.. Mr. Northman sir, me and Erica have something very important to talk to you about. You see I love your daughter and last month we had a little scare..." There it is the mistake of wording towards Eric Northman. Most humans do it at one point or another. It all ends in the same result. Just like this one humph...

"Oh Eric put the boy down for pete's sake." I said in my normal bored tone.

"Pamela I don't give a fuck about Pete. I give a fuck about him dishonoring my daughter." Eric snarled at me.

"Eric. Drop. The. Boy." Eric growled, but dropped him.

Kai scurried back to his seat. We all heard him whisper" Nice save there killah."

"What was I supposed to do wrestle my own dad? Don't worry he wouldn't kill you any way he loves me to much to hurt me like that." There was the Erica I know and love.

"Eric" I can't believe I'm about to go here, but he needs to hear the kid out. "Sookie would be so ashamed you treating our GUEST like that. Now the boy has come to talk to you at least hear him out."

Well at least it worked he sat down and shut up. He gestured for the boy to continue. Now if the boy has any sense at all he think about what the fuck he's about to say this time.

"Mr. Northman, I have been a fool. I have loved your daughter for years. Since the moment I saw her actually. We wasted a lot of time with our stupid actions. Last month I was in an accident at work. A pretty bad one. No worries though my Uncle got to me in time and healed me. But I realized that out of all the people I saw the only one I wanted near me was Erica. So I come to you today to ask permission to marry her." Well that was a good speech. Then I saw Eric's eyes soften towards Erica. Oh that's it he's going to say yes.

Erica got up handed her dad one of Elly's special blood suckers.

" Please daddy." she said and he smiled softly at her then looked at Kai.

"Yes young man you may have my angels hand." Well fuck a zombie. I need to get me some of those damn suckers

The rest of dinner went smoothly. They explained that they would spend half the year here and the other half in Hawaii. She wanted to open another branch of Save from Rape there. Kai could do his job from any where he said as long as he was with her he didn't care. I liked the idea. That meant more tropical time for me. Plus, I did like the Queen she had a very talented tongue if your picking up what I'm putting down.

When Erica and Kai left it was time to handle Elly's issue.

"Eric would you join us in the living room." He gave a questioning eyebrow raise but came.

"Yes ladies what can I do for you. I am not helping you plan the bachlorette party. Sookie already got me on planning your 21st. 'come see the dancers auditions.' Sookie told me. Never telling me they were men." Eric said and rolled his eyes. I laughed hard. I could imagine him watching men in thongs. We had done it for Fangtasia a long time a go.

"This has nothing to do with you admiring schlongs Eric. What you do on your own is personal." I teased.

"OK. Enough please. Dad I have something I need to talk to you about." Elly started

"your not getting married are you?" he asked

"NO I..."

"Your not pregnant?" He interrupted

"Heavens no...I"

"Your finally going to tell us that Oni has been your lover for 15 years?" He smirked. I just rolled my eyes. He hadn't even known that until I went out to Hawaii for the whole Nani mess

"No...wait. You knew?...Oh of course you knew, but I..."

"Well then tell me already" Eric said with a smile.

"I ...I " she looked at me. I squeezed her hand and nodded. "I want to be turned Dad." She said with determination in her voice.

His smile disappeared and shock took over on his face. Oh hell...did Erica leave any of those fuckin lollipops.

"Elly I would be proud to have you join us for eternity. Your mother knew that it would be a possibility one or both of you would want to be turned. I promised her that I would tell you everything. As you heard at dinner and I'm sure you have talked to her, Erica wishes to have a mortal life with Kai. Could you live on burying your sister in the future? A piece of you will be missing for eternity. Also, we will bury all of our descendents that choose not to turn. Pam and I have had centuries to learn this hardship. Your heart is soft, which I love about you, do you honestly think you can handle this?" Pam sat there in shock again. She knew that Sookie had asked her to prepare them, but she never thought of any of what Eric just asked.

Without batting an eye Elly answered "Yes daddy I have considered all of these factors. Erica and I spoke about this very issue. With her decision she asked that I always take care of her family and also every first born girl after her children be named Erica." she giggled "I know that this is the right choice for me. I have been thinking about this for a couple of years this was not a spur of the moment decision."

Then she rose handed Eric a lollipop and said "Please Daddy" His eyes immediately softened and Pam knew he was going to say yes to her. I need to invest in those damn suckers she thought.
