I sighed. "Not really, but I suppose that I am going to have to be. Plus, both of your parents are staring at us out of the window".
And that part wasn't any kind of an exaggeration. Eric's mother was looking out of the kitchen window at us, and his father was trying to discreetly watch what we were doing directly out of the living room window.
"Well then, my lover. I think that we should give them something to stare at" Eric replied, with a sly grin and before I knew what was happening, he had gotten himself out of the car and had made his way around to my side of the car before opening up the passenger side door.
"My lady ..." he said, holding his hand out to me as well as doing a bit of a bow.
I couldn't help but laugh at him.
I then slid my hand into his and allowed him to pull me out of the car. However, instead of leading me up into the house, Eric – being the ever charming boyfriend that he is – closed the car door before pulling me up against it and laying one hell of a smacker on me.
My arms went straight around his neck and into his hair, as his own hands made their way to the side of my face once again. His tongue also forcefully made its way into my mouth in a desperate and carnal battle for dominance.
But then far, far too soon for my liking, the kiss came to an end whenever Eric pulled away for air. By this stage, my legs had also managed to wrap themselves tightly around his waist.
I had no idea how they had managed to get there, and whenever I realised just where exactly we were – outside in the driveway of his parent's house – my face went beetroot red with pure and utter embarrassment.
But, on the other hand I didn't make any efforts to untangle myself from Eric's arms or his tight grasp.
"Eric ... put me down! Your parents are watching!" I said, but Eric just laughed and rubbed his nose against my own.
"Lover ... you are my girl, and my parents are just being too nosey for your own good! Why on earth shouldn't I be allowed to kiss you?" he questioned, being completely and totally serious.
"You should kiss me, but whenever we are outside with both of your parents watching is just pure inappropriate!" I defended. I was sure that Helen and Godric wanted to see Eric and I making out just as much as we – I – wanted them to see us.
"Fine, then. Are you coming inside?" Eric questioned, as he placed me back down on to the ground.
"Yeah. It's not like I really have an awful lot of choice is it?" I retorted, somewhat sarcastically. Eric just ignored my sarcasm, and I was somewhat thankful, because an argument between the two of us was really all that either of us needed right now.
Especially whenever we were going to tell his parents that I was pregnant.
"Mum, dad ... I'm back" Eric called out as we opened up the back door to the Northman house.
"I can see that, son" Godric said, walking into the kitchen where his wife was peeling potatoes at the sink. "And I can see that you have brought Sookie here with you" he continued, and then nodded at me.
"Hi" I said, and then gave a timid wave with the hand that wasn't gripping Eric's as tightly as I could.
Godric just gave me a smirk that was the complete double of his son's, while Helen turned around to face the both of us.
"I take it that you are staying here for your dinner tonight, Sookie?" Helen asked.
"Yes, mum" Eric replied, before I got the chance to say anything.
"And what this rude boy is trying to say is that yes, I would like to stay for my dinner tonight if that is alright with you" I said.
"Of course it is, Sookie. You know that you are always welcome here, even if my son is being rude" Helen replied, with a smile on her face.
Yeah. I wasn't just so sure about how welcome that I was going to be whenever we eventually told them about the pregnancy, and that the only reason that I was pregnant was that the cling film which we had wrapped Eric in had split.
"So, dinner will be ready in about three quarters of an hour to an hour, you kids go on upstairs or into the living room and I will call on you when it's ready." Helen said.
"Isn't there anything that I can do to help you?" I questioned, figuring that she would probably be able to digest the news easier if I was firmly placed into her good books.
"Don't be silly, Sookie. Godric here will help me. You kids go have fun" Helen said.
"Actually, mum ... Sookie and I were wanting to talk to the two of you about something" Eric spoke up.
"Oh yeah? What is it that you were wanting to tell us?" Helen asked, putting the potato and knife down as well as wiping her wet hands along her trousers to dry them.
"You might want to sit down first, mum" Eric said.
"You as well, Godric. We want both of you to hear this together" I said, whenever I spotted Godric trying to leave the room.
"Okay" Godric answered, and the two of them sat down beside each other at the kitchen table.
Well, it was almost certainly now or never, I thought to myself as Eric and I took our places directly opposite his parents.
So ... how do we think that the Northman parents are going to take the news? Review to give me your thoughts ...
