Chapter fifty-two

Sookie's POV

"Jesus Christ Sheppard of Judea! How much money?" I exclaim when Pam tells me the amount I can spend on the wedding. $50,000! Is he mental? That is far too much for this wedding, who does he think I am? The Queen? We don't need that much money to have a perfect and happy wedding, so why has he gave me this much? Is he trying to make me a kept woman when he knows I hate it when he makes me feel like one? Do you know what? No, I'm not going to think like that. I am not a kept woman, Eric loves me, we are engaged, and I am having his children; he just wants to make sure I am provided for, and this is his way of making sure I am. I need to stop being so stubborn about it, but still. $50,000, really?

"Oh, there is also $3000 in the safe for you dress" Pam informs me, my mouth hanging open.

"Like I'm going to spend that much on a dress!" I shake my head just as Pam throws a bridal magazine onto my lap.

"Give over; he just wants you to have the best day of your life. Now choose a maternity wedding dress; I can get straight on the line and we can have you down at the shop and trying on the dress before morning" Pam insists as she starts to flick through another magazine. Oh, God, I have to choose my wedding dress now? Jesus Christ, this just makes it all real how soon we will be married…

I shake my head again before flipping through the magazine, trying to find a lovely maternity wedding dress, one that will make me feel like a princess while still being at a reasonable price. I refuse to spend that much on a wedding dress, unless I am actually having it hand made in a completely different country, there is no reason for it to be that price. As I go through the magazine I find several very beautiful wedding dresses, but none that quiet made me think 'that's the one', plus I didn't technically need a huge maternity dress. Just one that would cover my two month baby bump (3 month in a normal pregnancy), in fact, my baby bump will most likely be slightly bigger than an average woman's. I remember Ludwig saying that once I hit 8 weeks my babies would increase in growth very fast. Joys. At least I'll be horny and getting plenty of sex off of Eric, that's just about the only bonus I can see here. Other than having two very gorgeous babies once it's all over, of course.

Eric's POV

"Hello there, my little Fairy. Care to explain yourself?" I probe as I circle him, how Pam managed to secure this Brendan I will never know; but she did, and for that I am thankful. This way I did not have to waste time tracking him down, but instead I got to spend that time with my pregnant fiancé. Who is much more important to me than anything in this world. But this Fairy has pushed his luck; he opted to hurt my Lover, my bonded, my fiancé, and potentially my children. He could have killed my children, he would have paid big time for that, especially if he had killed Sookie as well. He wouldn't even be here right if he had succeeded in killing my family.

"And why should I answer to a no good Vampire" he hisses as he rattles the chains he's strapped to. Pam was cleaver for spraying Lemon juice on the chains, watching him squirm is hilarious. If only I could film it. Actually…

No, no I shouldn't film it; I may enjoy it greatly, but if Sookie or, God forbid, the twins, when they're old enough, ever found it, I would be screwed. I would be killed on the spot. Sookie's wrath is something I very much want to avoid.

"Because I am the man who has you held hostage. I am the man who can kill you with the flick of my wrist. I am the man who will rip you into pieces if you do not tell me why you tried to kill my Lover and where Alcide Herveaux is" I snap at him, my fists clenching at my side. I walk over to my weapon cabinet where I start to pull out certain weapons, my favourite ones, where I place them on the table in front of the Fairy. I grab the lemon juice on the side and squirt it on all of the weapons. There you go; he will feel twice the amount of pain. Plus, I could technically instantly kill him, one of these weapons are made of iron.

He stares at the table before him with both distaste and horror before looking at me, but avoiding my eyes of course.

"Sookie. She is only part Fairy, part Fairies are vile creatures who should have been killed at birth. Pure Fairies are the only ones who should be honoured and protected, vile creatures like Sookie Stackhouse should not!" with that I grab his throat with my hand, just one squeeze. Just on squeeze will end this worthless piece of shit.

"Sookie is not a vile creature. She is beautiful and amazing, she deserves the world. You, on the other hand, deserve to be 6 foot under the ground. You. Are. Nothing" I spit in his face before slamming his head against the wall behind him. Thank God for my wall chains.

I only ever use the chains in the middle of the room when I am fucking someone, that someone only being Sookie, of course.

"She is a descendant of Nial, he is my enemy. He is a bastard who needs killing, just like anyone he is related to. Sookie being among them. I have already destroyed Fintan and Dermot. Sookie and her sleazy brother, Jason, are all that are left now. Well, other than Nial. But once I am gone from here I will destroy him to"

"Fine. be like this, you have made your motives clear. Now tell me the fucking Were who was supposed to be looking after my Sookie is" I order the God damn Fairy, what I would do to just kill him right now.

"Oh, the man, yes. I sent him on a holiday with his girlfriend. I met him a couple weeks prior to my attempt at killing the vile creature, he told me how he wished him and his girlfriend, who he had only just gotten back together with, could go away for a while. I told him I had two spare tickets to Spain, he agreed to accept them from me. I told him that I was Sookie's cousin and that I would drop them at your home for him. When I got there, I gave him the tickets, told him that he had to leave immediately if he wanted to catch his plane in time. Once he was gone, I attacked your Sookie. Thought I had killed her too. But no, it seems that I had failed. Oh, well. Maybe next time" I could have sworn that he would have shrugged his shoulders if he had not been chained up.

"For how long is the Were away for?"

"The tickets allowed him a 3 week holiday in Spain with his beloved" he informs me as I observe my chosen weapon of torture.

"Interesting. I will be having very serious words with him, actually, no, I will be beating the shit out of him. He should not have left her like that; I was paying him to look after my Lover. But, no, he failed me. He failed Sookie. You could have killed our unborn children you fucking asshole! You could have killed my family" I roar as I sling my arm in his direction, slashing all the way across his face with my lemon soaked iron knife. Fucking Fairies. I will destroy him until he is nothing but blood, gut, bones and skin on my floor. I want to see him suffer; I want to watch his guts drip out of his useless body. I am going to fucking drain this bastard.

Sookie's POV

"Anything? Come on, Sookie; there must be something in there that has caught your attention" Pam sighs. It has been just over two hours since we started going through wedding things, we have planned quite a bit. But the dress isn't one of them. All we have decided on so far is the wedding cake, a bottle of royal blood for Eric as an alternative for the cake (what with him being a Vampire) and we have also decided on decorations. But the Venue, wedding dress, bridesmaid dresses and several other things haven't been decided on.

"No, I haven't spotted anything. Do you have any more magazines?" I probe as I watch Meekus play fighting with Sam. Sam has turned himself into a husky puppy as well and they are having a fantastic time together. I giggle when I Meekus takes Sam down, Meekus letting off a howl of victory.

I look over to Claudine and Claude who are gushing over some hunky guy in their magazines. Jesus Christ. I feel something heavy smashing down on my lap; I look down to see a pile of thick magazines on my lap.

"How many, Pam?" I exclaim when I look to find about ten different bridal magazines on my lap. Why does planning a wedding have to be so stressful?

"Have you at least decided on a date, so that I can book the venue in the country Eric has chosen as a surprise for you?" Oh, so now she is teasing me. I can't believe Eric chose the country without me, but I guess I can let him off. I do love these type of surprises, these are nice surprises.

"The 25th of December" I inform her, feeling over joyed at the date we decided on. A Christmas wedding; I have always wanted to get married on Christmas when it is snowing. I hope it snows.

Think how romantic that would be… I sigh just thinking about it. But that sigh then leads on to me thinking about Eric making love to me under the moon while the snowflakes full around us. The only thing keeping us, well, me warm is our bodies rubbing up against each other. Great, now I'm aroused. Thank you pregnancy hormones, I do love you very much. I can only imagine how horny I will be when I'm about 7 or 8 weeks pregnant and onwards.
