Sookie drove down Humming Bird Lane slowly enjoying the warms sun as it filled the car but even that couldn't stop the need for Eric, she jumped from the car key in her hand she rushed into the house stripping away her uniform and climbing into bed with Eric in the light tight room where everything felt right again.

She couldn't help but feel crazy as she lay there next to Eric going over her day in her head, though stressful it wasn't the worst she had experienced but still she couldn't understand why just being near Eric made her feel calmer than she had since leaving the house earlier that morning. As she sat poking at her dead husband's chest wishing he would wake up and help her figure out what was going on inside of her she settled for wrapping his arm around her and curling under the coolness of his skin.

Not being in control of her own emotions was the one thing Sookie couldn't handle and she hated the thought of worrying everyone around her when it could be something as simple as her hormones which did seem to be running on high the last couple of days, she thought about Arlene and how crazy she acted during her pregnancies with Lisa and Colby and couldn't help but giggle. There was no way of telling if her body was playing tricks on her or if the spell had really worked and if she was pregnant it wouldn't make things any easier, it was still something she had never experienced before and she worried about how she would be able to separate the normal from the supernatural.

In the last few years Sookie had become accustom to just handling whatever came her way weather it was supernatural or not but she knew somehow this was different this would change her life forever and she would always be a mess terrified that she was messing everything up. Her heart started to race and she could feel the panic set in as she curled further into Eric hoping his closeness would help her calm, Sookie couldn't help but think the worst nothing in her life was easy from her childhood until now she had managed to avoid anything that seemed normal and she didn't see that changing any time soon looking back on the last year she started to wonder if she even knew what normal meant.

Sookie didn't regret the spell or the wonderful day she spent with Eric as a human but she did wish the spell had come with instructions something that could tell her what was supposed to be happening, she hated feeling weak and lately that was all she was feeling utterly vulnerable and weak. As she lay their next to Eric dreading leaving his side for even a moment her mind wandered and she started to think about how different her life would be if she were pregnant, how would she explain the pregnancy and what kind of mother would she be, Sookie could feel her head star to spin and she and she wished for just that second that Eric were human and awake to tell her everything would be alright.

After hours of wishing Eric would wake up and tell her she wasn't nuts Sookie forced herself to climb out of bed and make her way up stairs, she needed a distraction and hoped that once she was away from Eric for a while the anxiety she felt earlier that day wouldn't come back. Nothing Sookie did seemed to help her relax the warm bath only left her with too much time to think and she couldn't imagine trying to focus enough to read a book, she looked around the house for anything to keep her mind from wondering and finally settled on some unneeded spring cleaning to keep her busy.

Sookie was determined to pretend things were normal and it seemed to be working aside from the feeling in the pit of her stomach that told her how wrong she was and no matter how much she tried to push it from her mind it didn't seem to go away. As she pulled out a bucket and the pine oil to do the floors she felt happy remembering the way the house would smell when her gran would do the floors

She scrubbed and washed just about everything that wasn't nailed down and just in time because the girls would be home any minute , Sookie pulled the broom closet door open and started to put away the last of the cleaning supplies when the room started to spin. Her first thought was to scream out for help as she fell to the floor but she knew no one would hear her, her hands shot up covering her ears hoping to stop the ringing when a sharp pain shot through her stomach pushing the air from her lungs. It was unlike anything she had ever felt before but and she knew she needed help, Sookie tried to focus willing herself to stand but each time she pushed off the floor her body seemed to get heavier.

Sookie crawled across the floor slowly pulling herself by her arms terrified of what would happen if she attempted to stand up again when another pain shot through her body leaving her gasping for air in the middle of the kitchen floor, her body was limp and heavy but somehow she managed to reach the phone. After quickly running through her mental rolodex Sookie realized that anyone she tried to call would never make it in time and finally dialed 911 cringing as she pressed each number,

"Help" she gasped as another pain shot through her filling her body with a burning sensation as it went.

"I need help" she cried into the phone ignoring the questions the operator asked, she knew she was in trouble and she feared for her life as she clung to the phone. Her eyes fluttered lightly as she tried to hear the woman on the line

"What is the problem mam" the woman's voice sounded odd as Sookie tried to answer but it was too late all she could see was darkness.

Sookie's could hear the room buzzing around her filled with beeping machines and unfamiliar voices and it was taking everything in her not to jump from the bed, she had no idea where she was or how she had gotten there all she wanted to do was call her Gran to come and get her so she could sleep off the pain in her head. Sookie looked around the room for a phone hoping her gran was home and just as picked up the receiver her hospital door flew open and in walked the most beautiful man she had ever seen.

Eric flashed to her side throwing his arms around her and kissing the top of her head; he could feel her body stiffen under his touch but paid no mind to it his only concern was he being ok. Sookie put her hands against Eric's slowly pushing him away;

"Who are you?" she whispered

Eric's eyes widened "Eric your husband" he bit out his words hoping she was messing with him.

Sookie laughed hysterically at the thought "husband, ha husband, I think I would remember getting married"

"Seriously what are you, and who sent you?"

Eric's heart was breaking he could tell from her expression that this was not a joke at all that she truly had no idea who he was; "I am Eric Northman a vampire and you are my wife Sookie Northman" he tried one last time hoping none of this was real.

A nurse came in just as Sookie was asking him to leave; she was insistent that someone was playing a cruel joke on her and she wanted him to leave and never come back. Eric did what she asked and walked out if the room he couldn't help but look back studying her face for any sign of his Sookie but there was nothing there.

Sookie hated having to lie still while the doctors ran yet another test hoping this one would let them know what caused her to pass out and loose several years of her memory. Once she got ahold of Jason to ask if he knew where gran was he rushed up to the hospital and answered all of her questions, Sookie not only found out that yes she was married to a vampire named Eric but Gran and Tara were dead and she was a mother to Tara's twin. She cried for what seemed like hours while Jason held her and helped her deal;

"How can this be true, how can they be dead, a vampire, how could I have been with a vampire they are cold and dead."

Jason smiled his crooked smile and Sookie looked at him confused as to what part of this situation was funny, she wiped her tear filled eyes and crossed her arms waiting for an answer.

"Ok it's not funny but you kinda just repeated what I told you when you started dating Bill"

Sookie looked at her brother "who's Bill?"

Jason rubbed his face in frustration as he stood and stretched "you don't remember Bill?" Sookie shook her head no "

"Well Bill Compton is a vampire he lives in the old Compton house across the cemetery, Sook what is the last thing you do remember?" Jason watched as she tried to remember how she had gotten to the hospital and instantly regretted asking her the question when she started to cry again.

"Sookie its ok I am sure that whatever's happening is only temporary; and your memory will come back soon." Jason was only trying to comfort her but his words seemed to make her more anxious,

"Temporary what is temporary about Gran and Tara being dead; or that I somehow married a vampire who I'm raising Tara's kids with. How is any of that temporary Jason?" Sookie felt like she was at her limit as far as information went for the day; so she decided to ask Jason to leave before he announced that he was getting a sex change and her head exploded.

Once she was alone Sookie realized how exhausted she felt it had been a long day and she couldn't even remember most of it. Her heart sank as she tried to sort out everything she had been told and she couldn't help but try to find the silver lining behind it all. She told herself that if Gran was dead she was in heaven with the lord that she loved so much and even though Tara was gone she had trusted her enough to leave her daughters with her; not to mention that is she had to be married to a vampire well Eric was no ugly duckling.

Hours had passed since Jason left and Sookie was trying to rest peacefully but the sounds of the machines buzzing and beeping around her were more than she could bear; she wanted to be home in her bed where it was quiet. She could hear the blonde vampire talking to a nurse in the hall, he had been sitting outside of her room for most of the night stopping every nurse and doctor that walked by telling them he was her husband and hoping someone would let him know what was going on.

Eric hadn't tried coming back in the room since Sookie told him to leave but he didn't seem to be leaving any time soon and Sookie was beginning to feel bad for how she treated him. Sookie never pictured herself as being married especially not to a vampire; even if he was worth drooling over.

The whole thing was terrifying to her the hospital, the vampire and the fact that she overheard a doctor telling Eric that he suspected she was pregnant,

"Um Eric" Sookie called, thinking that if he was going to stay until they figured out what was wrong with her the least she could do is invite him in and talk to him.

Eric appeared in the doorway watching her as she straightened herself in anticipation of him entering the room,

"You're beautiful" Eric said forgetting for a moment that she had no memory of their life together.

Sookie blushed awkwardly pulling the blanket up around her chest "uh thank you?" the sound of hesitation in her voice made him want to meet his true death; they had been through so much together and he couldn't handle the thought of her forgetting all of that and living her life without him.

Eric decided to sit in the chair furthest from the bed trying to make her comfortable and avoid being kicked out of the room again. The two of them sat in silence him staring at her and Sookie staring at the blanket that she had tucked tightly around her chest,

"So did I hear the doctor say they think I'm pregnant?" Eric wasn't sure if he should answer

"If you're my husband and a vampire how is that possible?" Eric opened his mouth to answer "oh gosh did I, oh is this, did I have an affair?"

Eric couldn't help but laugh at her expression Sookie was nothing if not loyal "No Sookie no you didn't have an affair, we wanted a baby."

"Do you remember Amelia?"

"Who's Amelia?"

Eric ran his finger through his hair not only would he have to explain who Amelia was he would also need to tell her that Amelia was a witch. Eric ran through the story of Amelia and New Orleans pausing while she cried for the loss of yet another relative and finally he finish by explain in great detail the day the spent together and watching his first sunset in centuries with her.

Sookie was astonished by the life she shared with Eric and she wanted to know more; everything seemed like a fairytale and she was the princess. She rattled on questions faster than he could answer and even though he knew it was wrong he did his best to skip over the near death experiences and feedings; he planned on telling her everything if her memory never came back even if it meant her hating him but for now he just wanted to be near her.
