Disclaimer: Fine I'll just say it normally this time. C. Harris owns TSVN not me her. For now MUHAHAHA. Seriously all I really want is Eric. She can have the rest. I'll even settle for Sam. But not Bill she can keep him. :)
When I came back to it wasn't to blissful quietness. No, in fact when I awoke all hell was breaking loose. Little Jason was standing of to the side of my bed stroking my hand and doing his best not to start crying. Pam who was usually calm was dropping towels and swearing like a sailor. It was rather comical and I did my best not to laugh. That's when another sharp volt of pain hit into me like a tidal wave. I screamed for everything I was worth. It felt like someone was stabbing red hot pokers into my stomach.
Calm down lover. I'll be there soon. I promised I'd come back for you.
Eric it hurts……Gasp……A lot
I know honey. I'm sorry I'm not there already.
Not totally your fault did you get the master?
No he wasn't there the coward took off the only thing that was left was the scent of sulfur and death. James is out continuing to track him.
I was going to reply but Pam came back over placing a fresh towel across my head then she moved down towards the other end of my body.
"Sookie I need you to lift up those legs much like you did in lamas class okay?" I did as she asked watching as she got to work.
"Your good at this huh?" Another wave of pain hit me and I did my best not to close my legs up and knock Pam in the head. She must have sensed that she was about to be knocked and helped me to hold my legs apart.
"Yes back when I was human along time ago I helped deliver my sisters and brothers. Then I helped out as a midwive. Never fancied having kids of my own after that. As I said it was along time ago but delivering babies is like hopping on a bike. Once you learn you don't forget." I frowned at Pam comparing the two. That just didn't seem right to me. Pam smiled and went back to her task.
"Okay well that's not fucking good." I tried to sit up when she spoke only to be held back by little Jason. I had forgot about him being next to me.
"What is it? Is the baby okay?"
"Huh? Yeah sure everything is okay. Look this baby is coming and I am very good at this never lost a baby yet but there is two very important things I want you to remember one push when I tell you." she pause for a moment to wipe up.
"And Pam is a great name if it's a girl."
"No way kiddo." We both jumped slightly then broke out into a manic grin. Eric moved over to the free side of my bed.
"You made it." I said gritting as another wave of pain hit me.
"Oh course you really didn't think I wouldn't be here for this did you?"
"Can I go now?" Little Jason piped up. Hoping he wouldn't have to watch his new sibling being born. Upon closer inspection I could see he was turning a lot paler and maybe even a little green around the gills. He maybe a vampire but he was also trapped in the body of a little boy. Poor kid to be forever a child I think would be one of the greatest curses ever. And had his sire still been alive I would have had Eric torture him for a long long time.
"Yes" Pam replied without taking her eye's off her task bringing me out of my fantasy's of killing the already dead man. Which also happened to remind me that my whole body was in agony. Little Jason leaned up and kissed my cheek and in a flash the kid was out the door slamming it behind him.
"Huh for a vampire you'd think he'd have a stronger stomach." Pam commented.
"He's still a child in may ways Pam. Surely you remember what that's like." I shot back it's funny that when I was distracted the pain seemed to lessen. Which shouldn't surprise me this child's birth would probably be different because it's was half vampire.
"No not really. Childhood was along time ago." I was about to respond when another freaking wave of pain hit me. I gripped Eric's hand in a death grip and screamed in pain.
"OWW!" He complained and I shot him a dirty look. One that was full of promises of death. He had done this to me. It was all his fault and damn it all I still loved him with all my heart. He looked back at me somewhat sheepishly.
"Sorry Lover. Squeeze away." He reached over and offered me some ice cubes. I smiled brightly and gladly took them.
"Well kiddies saddle up this is going to be along night."
4 four uneventful hours later. ( Even I don't want to be around to witness Sookie think about hurting Eric ) :)
"One more push Sookie."
"I can't it hurts. Please don't make me do this anymore." I begged.
"One more Lover the baby's almost out. One more push and your home free." Eric whispered into my ear. I was so exhausted I couldn't go on anymore. My whole body felt like it hand been put through a washer and then crumpled into a basket to dry.
"Please one more push." Pam said again. Just to shut them both up I gritted my teeth closed my eye's and pushed with all I had in me. I waited a moment until I heard a light slap and then a baby wailing for all it was worth. Both my eye's popped open and I saw Pam handing the baby over to Eric.
"Is it okay?" I was beyond petrified this baby had been born way to early and god only knew what condition it would be in. Eric held the baby for a moment and beamed at me. He had bloody tears in his eye's and any moment now I was sure they would fall.
Instead he handed the baby over to me and I got to hold the miracle of my life. The baby was much bigger than I thought it would be.
"The baby is just fine Sookie dear. Seven pounds twelve ounces. Perfectly normal."
"Even though it's a preemie?"
"Sookie the baby is half vampire. Of course it's going to be perfectly healthy. Something's will happen normally others wont. Like for example if it suddenly sprouts fangs I would highly discourage breast feeding." Pam said with a cheeky grin.
"Ha ha your funny Pam."
"That's what I'm here for." She leaned over and cooed at the baby.
"Aunt Pammie Whammy is going to teach you so much about being a smart ass. Oh yes she is. Plus your daddy owes me a new pair of shoes from when mommy's water broke." Eric let out a bark of laughter.
"Shut up Pammie Whammy. Now more importantly before I fall asleep or some other end of the world disaster happens I have to know. Girl or Boy?"
AN: HA Ha I get to be evil and leave it there. I'll update soon. LOL! My hubby is right I am slightly evil but oh well. I can deal with that. Please review : )
