Sookie reach the porch of Bills house and stopped looking up at the open door unsure of what her next move was, she crept up the stairs looking around slowly expecting Bills to jump out of nowhere but nothing happened she moved further into the house and still nothing but what Sookie did find was enough to make her stomach turn.

The walls and broken furniture that lay scattered through the foyer were splattered with blood and she wasn't sure but the tiny white specks in the puddles that covered the floor looked like teeth, was it possible that Alcide had killed Bill earlier that evening Sookie didn't think he would considering the two of them seemed to be inseparable but she knew he was capable.

She walked slowly through the house avoiding the puddles of blood and broken glass as she made her way to the living room, a battered Eric trailed close behind neither of them prepared for what they were seeing but she needed to find Bill for her plan to work. The sick games the Alcide and Bill liked to play made them question the scene in Bill's house and as they walked through the rest of the spotless house with no sign of its owner she couldn't help but wondered if it could be a façade set up as another mind game for her from Alcide to make her think Bill was gone for good.

After searching the entire house only to find it completely empty Sookie's heart sank as she realized how drastically her plan had changed, earlier that day she seemed to have it all worked out in her mind and now nothing seemed to be going the way she wanted. Sookie knew not to just assume Bill was dead it would only leave her vulnerable and open to another sneak attack, the one things she did know for sure though was that if Alcide had killed Bill he would never leave the body where it could be found in fact part of the reason she thought something was weird about the state of Bill's house was that there was way too much evidence left behind.

Eric hadn't said a word to Sookie since he appeared in the bedroom jumping to her aid when Alcide was ready to kill her, it wasn't reunion she wanted and hoped for when she imagined freeing him Sookie had pictured it so many times in her head that there were moments when it almost seemed real. She would pull the door open to the cellar climbing down into the darkroom where she would untie him before covering him in kissing, she imagined then running off into the sunset where they would one day get married and raise a family.

Sookie reached for his hand as they made their way out of the house pulling the door shut and locking it behind them, Bill had no family and Alcide was his only friend so she had plenty of time to figure out what to do about the mess before anyone would come looking.

"What do want me to do with his body" Eric asked as they walked quickly back to the house

Sookie looked up at him wondering why he didn't just run the second he was out of the cellar instead of coming to look for her and now here he was willing to dispose of the body of her ex-husband who had kidnapped him and tortured him for weeks all because of her. Sookie shook her head

"No I will deal with it" she snapped trying not to look up at him

"You should go Eric, you don't have to be here" guilt washed over her as she released his hand and fought back the tears that filled her eyes.

She hated herself for bringing Eric into this mess and even though she loved him more than she had ever loved any man she couldn't ask him to stick around and help cover up a murder, not to mention she had no clue how she would break the news to him about the baby. There was a child growing inside of her and she wasn't even sure if she could love it because it would have part of the man who spent most of his time hating her in it so how could she ask anyone else to love it. As they stepped out of woods behind her house Sookie turned to face Eric prepared to tell him everything and watch as he walked away never turning back but as she started to speak he wrapped his arms around her pulling her close and holding onto her as if she would float away any minute.

"I'm not leaving you" his words were simple and sweet but it didn't change the fact that she had a monsters baby growing inside of her

"Eric I have to tell you something and I think it will change your mind," his hand shot up covering her mouth his eyes brightened as he smiled down at her and she noticed the dried blood and massive bruises all over his face making her feel even worse for involving him in her mess.

"I already know" Sookie shook her head as the sincerity in his voice cut through her like a knife

"No Eric you don't understand I'm" his hand moved to hover over her stomach "pregnant, I already know."

Sookie's looked up at his eyes in shock as her heart sank in her chest she was sure once she told Eric about the baby he would run for the hills and as she stood staring at him in she started to wonder if he was crazy or if he really loved her.

"No I can't ask you to stay, you're not, I mean, its" she couldn't find the words as he looked deep in her eyes assuring her he wasn't going anywhere.

Sookie quickly turned away from him walking toward the house In her heart she knew she loved Eric and she had dreamt of him every night for weeks hoping he still wanted her once all the mess with Alcide was over but to know he loved her as much as she loved him scared her to her core. Eric trailed after her reaching for her hand again and again each time she walked faster trying to put some distance between them and focus on what she needed to do next, they both knew they needed to deal with Alcide's body but Sookie had no clue how she was going to handle it would she just toss the body in a deep dark hole and hope for the best or would she call the police and pray they understood.

Sookie pushed the kitchen door open to find Earl still sitting where she had left him sobbing into his hands and talking to himself, she had no clue how to help and she wondered for a split second if the young boy would ever be the same but one thing was for sure she didn't want him around if she did call the police. She walked past him rushing into the bedroom slamming the door behind her somehow being alone with the dead body of her ex-husband would be easier than facing either of the men in the kitchen at that moment.

When she looked down at the lump in the middle of the floor she figured out what Eric had been doing in the room while she was trying to calm Earl, Alcide's body was wrapped tightly in the plastic liner from her master bathroom and though she could still see the wet spots where the blood had drained from his body the blood was partially cleaned up. Sookie pressed her back against the door sliding down it onto the floor she couldn't believe how wrong things had all gone, moving back to Bon Temp wasn't an easy decision but somehow she thought it would be safe and she could move on with her life and nowhere in her mind did she think disposing of a body would be part of that life.

Earlier that day when she went over the plan in her head she figured by now they would be standing in front of the police explaining how she had no choice but to kill Alcide when he broke into her house trying to rape and kill her all the while admitting he had Eric trapped somewhere intending to do the same because she was with him. Sookie knew she would have all the evidence she needed to prove Bills part by showing the video of him and Alcide beating Eric in the cellar, between the video and her and Eric's story it should have been more than enough to send Bill away for life but know here she was her plan ruined with no sign of Bill and blood on Earl's hands.

Sookie knew she needed to make a decision on what to do or all three of them would be rotting in jail but Earl couldn't handle being part of what happened next and she didn't want Eric to have to be, her heart pounded as she started to panic. Feeling like all the air was being sucked from the room and Sookie admit to herself that she had no idea what to do next and what she really wanted to do was run, Sookie rushed over to the window shoving it open pausing for a split second before slowly sticking her head out into the night air.

She looked around making sure there was no sign of Bill lurking in the shadows, the last thing she wanted was for him to sneak up on her when she was already feeling so weak and fragile. Her hand resting on her stomach she closed her eyes as she felt the room start to spin, she snickered as she realized the child that was growing inside of her was the cause for her sudden weakness and Sookie couldn't help but cry as she realized how badly she had messed up her life.

Her body was shaking and her legs felt like noodles as she leaned against the window feeling helpless and weak, Sookie knew what needed to be done and as Scary as it was she reached for the phone on the night table next to the bed and dialed Sheriff Andy's home number hoping that somehow she could make him understand. His voice was heavy with sleep and he wasn't too happy to see that it was her number on his caller ID,

"Sheriff this is Sookie Stackhouse" her voice quivered

"Sookie I know who you are what the problem" Andy was blunt and she knew he probably thought it was odd for her to be so formal,

"Sheriff I need you to come to my house right away there had been an incident and I need your help"

Sookie hoped the fact that Andy had known her since she was a small child and also him being married to Tara her lifelong best friend would somehow tug at his heart strings but she also worried that his friendship with Alcide would having him locking her up and throwing away the key.

"Are you in danger Sookie" his concern for her safety eased her mind slightly

"Not anymore" Sookie spoke softly for fear that her voice would break and she would lose it,

"Is anyone hurt?"

Sookie hesitated to answer afraid that if she told the truth Andy would show up with an army of police officers armed and ready,

"I, I just need you to come please" she said unable to hold back the tears this time as she sobbed into the receiver

"I'm on my way" Andy said hanging up the phone.

As Sookie hung up the phone she remembered Eric's statement from earlier and realized he had assumed they were getting rid of the body another way and she started to wonder if she had just made a huge mistake, a knock at the door made her jump as her eyes darted from the door to the body lying in the middle of the floor

"Sookie its Eric are you ok."

She wanted to scream no she wasn't ok she was she was close to cracking up, between her dead ex-husband, the baby she was carrying, her love for Eric and the sobbing teenager she was now responsible for she wouldn't breath. Eric knocked again and Sookie knew she still had to tell him about the phone call she had made to Sheriff Andy; she walked over to the door taking a deep breath before pulling it open

"Eric we need to talk" he smiled at her,

"Sookie I'm not leaving no matter how much you try to convince me to" his voice was smooth and calm and she found herself wishing she could feel the way he sounded.

"No Eric I called Sheriff Andy and asked him to come" the look on his face confirmed what Sookie thought Eric had assumed they were just going to get rid of Alcide's body themselves,

"I'm sorry" she said in a whisper

Eric could hear the fear and sadness in her voice and he knew she was trying to be strong for not only herself but him and earl too and he wanted her to know he wasn't going anywhere any time soon.

"Sookie I love you but do you think that was the best idea, Andy is" Sookie raised her hand wanting him to stop

His answer was far from what she expected and she couldn't help but smile as she saw the love in his eyes.

"It is what needs to be done, I can't live in fear anymore" Sookie started to cry as she spoke and thankfully Eric nodded letting her know he understood so she didn't need to finish,

They both knew they had allot to talk about and she hoped that when everything was said and done they would be together but for right now they had to deal with the Sheriff and manage to keep Earl from cracking up so the two of them walked out on the front porch and waited for the Andy to show up.
