Sookie stood outside in the dark, it had begun to rain and she could have sworn it was at least an hour since she had last talked to Isabelle. She shrugged her shoulders, maybe she got caught up in something. She turned around and started heading for the nearest place to sit down. She came to an abrupt halt when she found herself staring at Godric. He had been standing there watching her for some time but she just assumed that he had only just gotten there. Sookie felt her knees buckle as his intense stare bore into her. He dashed and caught her before she hit the ground. When she was steadied and had regained her own composure she shrugged him off almost violently.

"What do you want Godric?'

"You are acting like a child."

"Am I? I could have sworn that I said you were."

"Sookie please…"

"Please what?"

By this time Godric had lost his patience with Sookie. He growled and grabbed her arm yanking her to him so that his mouth was against her ear.

"Enough! You have disrespected and insulted me in front of my maker. Do you have any idea how bad that makes me look?"

"I hardly think he cares about how you look in front of him. Let go of me."

Godric did but he stood very close to her still, eyes burning into her soul.

"Isabelle called me, she isn't coming I told her not to. You will stay here with me and when I decide to leave then so will you."

"The hell I will. Who in the hell do you think you are?"

Godric released his fangs and snarled. She flinched but stood her ground. He grabbed her arm again and closed the distance between them, he made her look him in the face, he wanted her to see how angry he was, and while he had no desire to hurt her he wanted her to fear him at that moment.

"I am your child's father."

Sookie's heart sank and her anger quickly dissipated and was replaced with regret. She was acting like a child.

"I know you are." Sookie sighed. "I'm sorry I shouldn't have…"

"Shhh, please don't explain yourself. I understand that you are mad. I just recently admitted to you that I couldn't take care of this child because it wasn't mine. I want you to know that I just didn't change my mind about that because of the news that Matthias gave me. I was thinking about it before hand, shortly after I had told you I couldn't accept this child, and realized that I was wrong. Not just for saying it but for allowing myself to believe that I couldn't."

Sookie only stared at him, she had no way of telling rather or not he was telling the truth but something deep inside her, something deep in his eyes and his words told her that he was sincere. She wrapped her arms around him and hugged him tightly.

"Please forgive me Godric."

"Do you forgive me?"

"Of course."

"Let's get back inside then. I want you to eat."

"I'm not hungry."

"The baby is."

"How do you know?" Sookie giggled shoving Godric.

"Because if he is anything like his father than he has a very large appetite."

Sookie laughed and they quickly made their way back into the mansion. Once inside Godric led her up a large winding set of stairs and into a very large room. Sookie marveled at the large fountain that sat in the middle. There was a bed sitting in the back that was littered with pillows galore and Sookie was sure you could fit ten people onto it. At the far end of the room was a set of double doors that were wide open revealing a beautiful, luxurious bathroom. Godric leaned into her ear and nibbled on her lobe.

"When you are done eating we can bath together."

"Okay." Sookie replied with a big yawn while Godric eyed her.

"Or if you'd prefer we could go to sleep."

"But it's too early for you."

"Well I could put you to sleep if you would prefer that?"

Sookie blushed at the evil smirk that had taken over Godric's angelic features.

"I think not." Sookie shoved him away a bit playfully. "Besides you have a tendency to make me…well…"

"Yesssss?" Godric urged.

"Well….to make….I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO HEAR US."

"Oh I do believe it's you they will hear my love, not me."

Sookie crossed her arms and frowned, she was too tired for the games.

"Shhh, I am only playing with you. Teasing is a favorite sport of mine you know."

"Mmmm, I'm sure it is."

"Make yourself comfortable here. I am going to get you some food."

"Okay."

Sookie watched Godric leave and then went to sit on the edge of the fountain. She bent down and ran her fingers through the water. It was really very beautiful, she couldn't help but become entranced with it. She sat there twirling her fingers in the water and before she knew it seconds turned to minutes and she lost contact with reality. She saw something to the left of her jumped. She looked up to see the smiling face of Matthias. She turned back around not wanting to keep eye contact with the mysterious vampire.

"Please if I am bothering you I will leave."

Sookie had to remember where she came from. She was taught to keep manners no matter the circumstance or the character they had to go to. She turned back around and gave him a softer look.

"No of course I don't want you to leave. Besides this is your home, I can't wish for you to leave even if you wanted to. I am sorry I've just been a little irritated lately is all. Please, forgive me?"

"Of course Miss Stackhouse, if you will forgive my waywardness?"

Sookie smiled and nodded. Matthias moved to sit next to her taking her hand in his as he did so. Sookie felt a little uneasy but didn't pull away.

"Sookie I…I know I may have done hurt you during my ignorant little scheme to entrap my son. But I need you to understand that I…that a maker….cannot lose his or her child. It is detrimental. Do you understand?"

Sookie turned back away to look at the sparkling water, wanting to dive into it and get away.

"What you did was wrong. I am not ready for a child Matthias, I am only sixteen. I'm still in high school and I have no idea what to do with a baby. Well I do, but what about when it is older? How am I to raise it?"

"Godric will provide the financial side of it and you well…women use to give birth to children far early in their years than sixteen. I'm sure you'll do just fine."

"Yeah but those were many, many years ago. And besides that I don't even know if Godric is the one I want to spend the rest of my life with…"

"Really? Sookie after all that you have been through with him, do you think that he deserves that?"

Sookie began to feel bad.

"I'm sorry it's all just…I…I feel rushed Matthias. I am so scared."

"Shhh, I understand, believe me I do, but it will all be okay in the end trust me."

"Will it, I guess I don't really have a choice any more now do I?"

"You really don't, you have to do this for the child."

"NO, don't say that. That isn't fair, to say that I have to do this for the child, how dare you! I am going to stay with Godric because I want to, not because I have to for this baby, for you, or for anybody, because I want to. If I need to leave for some reason then I will. I have family back in Bon Temp who are more than willing to take care of me and my child."

Matthias placed his hand on his head and closed his eyes. This girl was a piece of work, he was amazed that his child could even put up with her. The Godric he had always known would never had stood for this sort of ranting and disobedience from any human, let alone a woman. But then again, his child was different, he and Eric had established that he had changed dramatically quite some time ago.

He looked back up at Sookie. He also forgot how independent women had become these days. It was really quite beautiful. Especially for a human to be so strong willed in front of a vampire, he had never seen anything like it in all his years. His child really had found the perfect human.

"May I kiss you?"

Sookie looked taken aback and immediately silenced her continued ranting. What did he just ask her?

"I…I…."

She glanced towards the door. Where was Godric, why hadn't he come back yet? Matthias caught on to this and smiled. He reached for her face and turned it around to face his. He didn't care if she'd given him an answer. He leaned in and watched as her eyes grew bigger. Before she could pull herself out of his trance and turn away she found his lips against his. He lightly kissed her and then slightly pulled back. But only enough to look her in the eyes, they shared one glance before he leaned in a second time. This time he latched on to her bottom lip with his teeth. Sometime before he had released his fangs and now she found them grazing her lip. She let out a small moan of disappoint as he released her mouth and gently kissed her cheek. He had gone back to his sitting position on the fountain but he kept her hand in his. He found himself not wanting to let go.

"Godric is..." Sookie started before being cut off.

"Right here?"

Both Sookie and Matthias turned their heads towards the doorway. There stood Godric holding a plate of food and a glass of water. He placed the food on a nearby table and slowly made his way to the two at the fountain. He bent down and kissed Sookie. She stared at him dumbstruck when he pulled away from her. He wasn't mad? Surely he was, she was sure he had seen the kiss, or at least the last part of it.

"Did you enjoy the kiss?"

Sookie's assumption was confirmed, he had seen the kiss. So why wasn't he upset?"

"You're not mad?"

"No."

"But I just kissed your maker."

"Actually I believe he kissed you."

Sookie watched as Godric turned to Matthias and they shared a smile.

"But when you walked in on us before, when you thought he was….raping me, you were angry."

"Of course, he had been forcing himself on you."

"So he thought." Matthias added.

Sookie's head was spinning. She couldn't believe this.

"So…" Godric began turning back to Sookie. "Would you like him to do it again?"

Sookie's mouth fell open in awe, this was insane. She placed her hand on her lower abdomen as she felt it heating up with desire. Both the vampires noticed and released their fangs.

"She does." Matthias smirked.

"Well my maker, like old times?"

They shared one last look and gave off the most evilest of grins.

"Like old times." Matthias replied.

"Godric turned back to Sookie and picked her up. He carried her to the bed and placed her on it. Both vampires took to lying on either side of Sookie, Godric on the right and Matthias on the left. Godric bent down to Sookie's ear and whispered.

"Shhh…I want you to let my maker do to you whatever he wishes."

"Why?"

"Because in return, I will give you immortality."

"Now?"

"After my child is born."

Sookie moaned as Godric continued to whisper into her ear. Matthias had long ago traveled down between her legs.

"But I am not a whore Godric."

"No, you are wrong my love." Godric cooed.

Matthias looked up from between Sookie's legs and gave that evil, yet very sexy smirk again. It was his turn to add his two cents.

"Tonight you are our whore."
