A Little Too Late Chapter 21: Sookie's Memories

Eric and I sitting on the couch waiting for Dr. Brigant to come in and shrink us we talk about ours feeling Blah Blah Blah.

When he finally comes into the room he reminds me of Robin Williams in Good Will Hunting. He shakes both of ours hands and told us to sit and we start to talk.

Dr. Brigant said, "Sookie I have work with Eric since he was diagnosed with cyclothymic. I have seen him every time he has been put into the ward."

I look at Eric and said, "Well Doc has Eric talk about me or Corbett when you saw him. Did he show you my ultrasound?"

Brigant replied, "Eric would shut down his emotion when Stellan brought you up and I hope since you are here in this session that maybe we can put Eric on the right medicine and help Eric live a normal life."

"So let's get this started. Sookie how did you and Eric start?"

I was at work doing my Pre-algebra homework. Tara was sweeping the hair off the floor.

Tara said, "I heard Yvetta is planning to ask Eric to homecoming dance. You think he win prince. Sookie you there."

I heard the door open and said, "Thornton Beauty Salon what can I do for you."

I look up and see Eric Northman and Bill Compton walk in the salon wearing their Bon Temps Letter jacket. I was so nervous I thought I was going to throw up.

Bill said, "I see that Miss Book-worm Stackhouse is studying for her Math class."

I slam my book and told Bill, "I am trying to get into a great school and I need the grades to get into Tulane."

Eric just sits by and watches Bill literally tease me for being smart.

Bill said, "Sookie I know that you like to keep your Virgin Image and keep having good grades, but homecoming dance is coming up and I want to know if you are going or you taking your books as your date. That you wanted to go with me."

I was shocked and surprised that someone asks me to a dance but the truth I wanted to go with Eric and I knew Yvetta was going to ask him.

I looked at Bill and said, "Sorry but I not going to the dance. I have to work that night."

Eric kind of laughs and told Bill that they need to go. I heard them leave.

Tara look at me and said, "Girl, go after him. I know you want him. You need to ask him before shank cheerleader does."

I ran out the door and yell," Eric waits up." Eric stops and turns to me.

I jump into his arm and shove my tongue into his mouth. I kissed him like we only had this moment.

Eric eyes got big and I said, "I want you. Don't go with Yvetta. Will you go with me?"

I was scared that he was going to say no so I put my tongue back into his mouth.

Eric put me back on the ground and said, "I knew you had a thing for me, but Compton knew that was a lie and to prove the point he was planning to take you to homecoming."

I said to Eric, You have not answer my question"

Eric smirks and said, "Yes I did."

Eric pick me back up and started totally making out with me and said, "Pick you up about 7."

I knew after he left that Eric Alexander Northman was my future husband and father of my children.

I notice that Dr. Brigant was writing a lot of what I was saying down.

Dr. Brigant said, "Sookie, you have a child. You want to talk about the child."

I look at the doctor and decide to continue my thought.

I am looking at the EPT test hoping to see – but in a few seconds I will see if I past or fail the test.

The timer goes off so I look at the test and see the + there. My world just stood still.

I had to tell Eric that I am pregnant.

My mom knocks on the door and said, "Sookie, we need to start getting your graduation party together before your guest gets here."

We went to Wal-Mart and got decorations and the food.

My mom looks at me and said, "Sookie, what wrong? Is it me planning to move to Kansas? You have been lost into your own world today."

I lied and said, "No mom I just a little tired. You know how I am finally getting into Tulane and now my hard work is paid off."

When I got home I called the clinic and schedule an appointment to have my abortion. I was going to get rid of my child in few weeks.

I went outside and saw the most beautiful thing I ever seen. It was Eric holding Hunter in his arms.

Hunter came up to me and said, "Aunt Sookie, When are you and Uncle Eric having a baby?"

"I don't know Hunter." I am crying a little inside.

"Sookie, what do you want Eric to know how you feel about this moments you bringing up about your child?" Dr. Brigant said.

"I want Eric to know that he needs to understand what he did not just me but his son as well. Yea I said your son."

I am sitting in the doctor's office waiting for my check-up.

I heard my name being call so I get up and go to room 24.

My doctor gave me my examination to check-up on my baby.

My baby, I am so scared to see it and I am hoping to find out what I am having.

The doctor asked me pulls my shirt up and put that cold ass gel on my belly and turn the room dark.

I am hearing the heartbeat. Doctor said, "We got a strong heart Miss Stackhouse."

I replied, "It must get that from me doctor." This baby is very tall from being 18 weeks.

I laugh and said, "It's get that from it father, He 6'4."

Doctor moves the ward and stop. "Miss Stackhouse, do you want to know what you having?"

I just nodded my head yes, doctor said, "You have a healthy BABY BOY."

I cried, "It's a boy. I am going to have son."

Talking about Corbett to anybody just make me cry.

Dr. Brigant handed me a tissue to wipe my tears.

I look at Eric and said, "You should have been there for me. I needed you more than you ever know. The day finding out what Corbett was that is best day of my life before he was born. I wanted you to be there with me. You should have come to the appointment with me but you were too busy with Salome to see him. "

Dr. Brigant looks at us and said "Well your hour is over and I will see you after Thanksgiving."

We went our separate ways and were going to send Thanksgiving at my house and with my family. Cannot wait to see what drama that Eric will bring for the holidays.
