Chapter 3
Before Claude and Dermot showed up I dyed my hair reddish brown and cut it mid shoulder. It looked different but good. I was ready.
When Claude showed up he explained to me what would happen and what my part would entail, He drew a circle on the kitchen floor and I laid in the middle.
"Okay Sookie just lay there and think about your new life and repeat the name you have chosen. When you wake up everything will be ready for you. Good luck cousin, remember although we're back in the faerie we're always watching" he said.
I lay there and chant my name Anna Roberts over and over again thinking of my baby and the future. I began to feel sleepy and relaxed. Just before I nodded off I felt sadness pulse threw me and I knew it had come from Eric.
"Eric" I called out and then there was nothing.
I could feel the cold hard ground beneath me and my back started to protest. I slowly opened my eyes and tried to adjust to the harsh sunlight that shone through the trees. Why was I outside laying on the ground? Oh shit my baby! My hand automatically went to my stomach and I rubbed my baby bump. What the hell happened? I tried to remember but I had a lot of blank spots in my memory.
I remember when I found out I was pregnant, I was so happy. There is no father, I went the donor route instead. I know, I know what a strange thing for a 28 year old to do but didn't want complications. I already have more money then I know what to do with and I like my privacy way to much to get involved with a man. I can do this on my own after all I'm an independent women who can take care of herself.
Anyway my memory is fine up to a week ago. I need to go to the hospital and make sure that the baby is ok. Thank god I live in California or being outside like this could be real bad. I turned my head and peered around and noticed I was in a parking lot. Then I noticed the Wal-Mart sign and the Silver Dollar and I knew where I was. I pulled out my cell and dialled 911. Ten minutes later the ambulance pulled up and loaded me on a stretcher. They checked my vitals and told me everything looked ok. I let out a breathe and tried too relax on the way to the hospital.
Once I arrived at the hospital they took me in and within half an hour they had me in a room. I had to stay overnight for observation but other than that I was fine. The baby was ok too. The doctor said that he found a small bump on the back of my head that might be the reason why my memory was funky. HE said that it shouldn't be permanent and in time I would remember.
As I lay there on the hospital bed I began to plan the nursery after all the baby would be here in four months and I hadn't done a thing yet. I was to busy finishing my business degree. I want to open a restaurant that caters to all forms of life, even the undead kind.
Ever since they came out of the coffin I have been interested about learning more but I kept my distance. Something deep inside whispered "unsafe" when they were near and had me hightailing it out of there. Once the baby was here I could start planning and arranging. I hate sitting around being a trust fund baby, I want to do something with my life.
I pulled out my cell and called Dewitt and Sons to come and do an estimate tomorrow afternoon. My house is gracious and spacious and I figured on combining two of the guest rooms to make the nursery. I also want to add a bathroom on so that as the baby grows older they'll have their own bathroom.
"Excuse me Miss Roberts we're here to take you for an ultrasound now" a blonde nurse said as she walked in the room.
"Ok" I replied and set my phone on the table. I got in the wheelchair and sat down. They wheeled me to radiology and I went in right away. It was a good thing that I hadn't peed for awhile. I lay back on the chair and waited for the image to appear.
"We're using 3d ultrasound today. Wait, there they are. Aren't they beautiful, it looks like a boy and a girl, twins" he said.
"Twins? I'm having twins?" I asked in disbelief.
"Yes, you are" he said and printed off a picture for me. The babies were beautiful and now I couldn't wait to meet them.
