That night, Andy Bellefleur showed up at my house.
"I heard Darla quit her job at Merlotte's…" he began as soon as I opened the door.
"Hey to you too"
"She still living with you?" he raised an eyebrow.
"…no…she eloped with that boyfriend of hers. Just came in, told me she was getting married, and then swept off with all her stuff" I shrugged.
"If that's true…then you won't mind me taking a look up in her old room…"
"Sure…but Bill will be here soon, he and I are going out…" I started.
"I'll try to hurry…" he smiled, it wasn't exactly a nice smile either. He searched Fawks' room top to bottom but found nothing, Bill and I had been sure to be thorough. When Andy finished, he seemed a little disappointed about not being able to implicate me in a kidnapping.
"Sorry you couldn't find anything" I said, putting on my nicest smile. Bill was sitting on the couch when we came down the stairs. He shot Andy with his dark eyes, "Bellefleur…"
"I heard about your great-granddaughter running off with that guy…bet that put you out…" Andy began.
"…He seemed like a nice enough guy. Besides, Darla's a grown woman, I have no say in what she does" He shrugged shutting his eyes. Andy was silent for a moment before he nodded to me, heading out the door. We waited for his car to pull away before we began.
"Ready to go?" Bill smiled, he was excited, his fangs glistened at me.
"Yep" I nodded. Fawks was being hidden in a hotel Eric owned in New Orleans. It was a long drive, but it was worth it to see her one last time before she left. It was a very big and expensive looking, just the time of place I would expect a flashy vampire like Eric to run. So it wasn't much of a surprise to see Pam and the blonde vampire waiting for us in the lobby. Bill gave me the room key.
"She's in the penthouse on the top floor. Start up without me…"
I nodded heading to the elevator, it was private, the only going up to the top floor.
The penthouse suite was huge and empty. Fawkeisha was nowhere in sight.
"Fawks?" I began. Then, I heard sounds coming from the end of the hall. Looking back, I probably should have know better, you follow your ears and find that the bedroom door is partly open and the sounds coming from inside, you usually go back to the living room and wait till they're finished. But stupid me just had to take a look. I headed down the hall way towards the sound. Soon as I found it was coming from the bedroom, I stopped.
I hadn't noticed Bill standing right behind me, he had this frightful look on his face.
"…Bill…we shouldn't…" I began, trying to keep him from the sight he was about to see. But he walked right passed me, wrenching open the door. I put a hand to my forehead, hearing Fawks give a squeal.
"Shit…"
Fawks and Bill stood in the living room while I sat on the couch. She looked like a scolded teenager about to lose her car keys, standing there in her Batsmaru shirt. Bill was the epitome of rage. It was then that Mr. Taiyo came down the hall, adjusting his clothing.
"Sorry about this…" She sighed as he came to kiss her goodbye.
"We will continue this later…"He whispered back, they were making sure Bill couldn't understand them. Mr. Taiyo gave Fawks as deep kiss before heading out of the door.
"What the hell did you think you were doing?!" Bill began trying to keep his composure.
"…nothing…" she began. Bill glared at her, she sighed.
"We were making love…isn't that what you and Sookie do?" She said coming to sit next to me on the couch, knowing I'd protect her from the worse of Bill's anger.
"You're just sixteen!"
"So? The first time we slept together I was fifteen!"
"…That was just once…!"
"What do you think Sessho-maru meant by 'mate'?"
This had Bill, he shut his mouth. She sighed, leaning her head into my neck.
"How do you put up with him?"
I bit my lip, trying not to laugh, Fawks giggled softly. Bill gave us a look.
"Anyway, if you get so upset over the thought of me and Sessh-kun sleeping together, then you're not going to like us living together, are you?"
Bill looked paler than normal, even I had to look at her.
"What?!"
"We're going to Paris until I turn eighteen…" She shrugged.
"Why?" Bill's voice was a feral hiss. Fawks looked up away, standing up from the couch and going over to the great bay window.
"Fawkeisha…" He began warningly.
"…Sessho-maru's coming with me because…I'm late…"
My heart stopped, Bill looked completely white.
"…You're pregnant…?" I asked. Turning back to us, she nodded.
"We're getting married there…"
"Fawkeisha…" Bill began.
"It's alright, I'm in love with him so I don't mind. I'm happy to have his baby" She smiled at us. I didn't know what to say.
