What can I say … I am a truly shitty person for not updating this sooner but with the near daily updates on other chapters, as well as everything else that has been going on (reading fanfic, reading 50 shades trilogy, driving lessons ect …) I just simply haven't gotten anything written for TTOYL. That and I am also really, really, reluctant to upload two new chapters in one day so that it gives me longer to write new updates.

Disclaimer: Not Mine

Enjoy!

Fucking Pam! She always picked the right fucking moment to interrupt. Just when things were starting to look promising, she had to fucking interrupt.

"Hey, you must be Pam" Sookie said as she pulled away from me, holding her hand out for Pam.

"Yeah. You must be Sookie" Pam replied, taking her hand and giving it one firm shake. "So … are we all ready to go?" Pam continued.

"Erm … no I just need to quickly get changed" Sookie said, reaching out for the change of clothes that Amelia had brought with her the day before.

"Are you alright to get dressed on your own?" I asked, completely unwilling to leave her on her own for any length of time. I just hoped that I could convince her to go along with it.

"Yeah. I should be alright." She said, and then she very slowly swung her legs out of the bed. I gave her a chaste kiss on the forehead.

"Pam, come on, let's go and stand outside." I said, as I stood up. Pam just nodded and followed me outside.

"Eric … I meant what I said earlier. I am so, so sorry for sending the therapist over to Bill's …" Pam started.

"Pam … honestly, don't worry about it. You didn't know and I won't hold it against you." I said, and then paused. "Maybe tonight … if Sookie agrees, she might fill you in on everything that has been going on. But only what she feels comfortable sharing with you." I said, and Pam nodded, looking slightly creastfallen.

"No .. Pam … it's not you that she is personally taking everything out on. She is really private and might not want to share everything" I said.

"Of course. Everyone is entitled to their privacy." Pam said.

"Or she could surprise everyone and share absolutely everything. I just don't know with Sookie." I said.

"Are we ready to go?" Sookie suddenly said, poking her head out the door.

"Yeah … lead the way Pam" I said, taking Sookie's hand in mine as we walked down the corridor.

"We just need to stop at the reception desk first to sign my discharge papers" she said.

"Of course, Sookie" Pam said.

When we eventually arrived at the house Sookie shared with Amelia around three quarters of an hour after we left the hospital, and just as I expected would happen, as soon as Pam stopped the car the door flung open and out came both Gran and Amelia.

Where in the hell was Jason? Shouldn't he be here too? I thought to myself, but I didn't dwell on that thought for too long, and after helping Sookie get out of the car, I took her hand and helped her up in the front steps at the house, but when she tripped going up the top step, I was glad that I was standing behind her since otherwise, she could have re-broken her nose.

Then a wicked thought crossed my mind, and before I could second guess myself or Sookie could figure out what it was that I was planning on doing, I bent down and picked her up bridal style.

"Eric … what are you doing? Put me down!" she laughed, and tried to free herself by kicking her legs up in the air.

I just grinned at her, and after a few seconds, she stopped trying to fight me and wrapped her arms around me as I walked into the house.

Pam just shook her head at our antics, while both Gran and Amelia made "Aww!" noises.

It just made me and Sookie grin even further.

"Umm … where am I going?" I asked but then I noticed that there was only one door in the hallway.

"Through the door" Sookie laughed. Why did I get the feeling that she is laughing at me? I thought to myself.

"Stop laughing at me, woman!" I said, and then nipped at her backside with my hand. She yelped, and I got my chance to laugh at her.

"Eric!" she said, slapping me in the chest.

"Seriously … it's like we aren't even here!" I heard Pam say to Amelia somewhere in the background, but I didn't really care.

I made a point of ignoring her.

When I (we?) made it through the door, I found that I was standing in a sort of an open plan house. Literally. Down at one end of the room was the kitchen (although there was a separate door that entered in to it, but it was lying wide open. After this came the dining area which led down into the living room / sofa area.

I settled both Sookie and myself down onto one end of the sofa with her still sitting on my lap.

Pam took a seat at the other end of the sofa, Gran sat in the chair that was closest to the window and Amelia settled into the other chair. I could hear movements coming from upstairs and I assumed that it was Jason.

"So … aren't you going to introduce us to your friend?" Gran said after a short but extremely awkward pause.

"Um … yeah …. Sure" I said, not knowing why I was stuttering "Gran, Amelia this is Pam … my older sister, and Pam this is Sookie's Gran Adele Stackhouse and best friend Amelia …." I paused, since I didn't know what Amelia's surname. Either that or I couldn't remember.

"Broadway" Amelia finished for me, and turned her gaze towards Pam.

"It's nice to meet you, Amelia" Pam purred. Oh God. I thought to myself. Pam is going to try to ensnare Amelia. Watch out, Amelia. Run while you still can ….

So … review to let me know what you think …
