Ch 15

Sam came walking back to the office just as Kerrie finished her conversation with Bill.

"What's with him?"

"I happened to pick up on some information that wouldn't be great for their relationship. I was trying to help him but I know he's not going to listen and Eric is going to step right in."

"How do you feel about that?" Kerrie shrugged.

"Eric and I are better as friends. I'm the one who iniated the whole friends with benefits thing before I found out I was pregnant. It was an on and off thing but it's over. He butted in when I started dating and that was it." Sam nodded.

"There must be a lot to him that I don't pick up on." Kerrie nodded.

"I don't want to talk about Eric." Kerrie said with a smirk as Sam took her hand and pulled her close to him.

"Can I take you out tomorrow before you leave?"

"Sure, it may have to be brunch. Our flight's at 3."

"That's fine." Sam and Kerrie's lips met again. A few minutes later they moved apart.

"I should get going. Declan will be ready for bed soon."

"How about I pick you up at 10:30?"

"Sure, that sounds good." Kerrie walked to the table to see Bill sitting with Declan who was telling him about his vacation plans.

"Mom, I'm telling Bill about Disney World."

"Ok, two minutes then we're going to go. It's almost time for you to go to bed."

"Mom, why were you in Sam's office?" Kerrie stifled a laugh.

"We were talking." Declan nodded and started putting his things in his bag.

"Bill, I like you. Your Sookie's boyfriend right?"

"Yes, I am." Declan was going to ask another question but stopped.

"Bye Bill. Bye Sookie." Declan said walking over to give them both hugs. "Mommy might bring me down again. I want to visit again so I can ride in Eric's car."

"Thanks for keeping an eye on him. If you need help with anything give me a call ok?" Sookie nodded as Kerrie and Declan headed out of the restaurant. Kerrie got Declan into his booster seat and they drove back to the hotel.

"Momma, I'm tired." Declan said in the elevator.

"We're almost there." Once they got to the room Kerrie got him in his pjs and before she could read to him he was asleep.

An hour later Danny came into the room not in a good mood.

"She was a freaking fang banger. After we went to eat she brought me to Fangtasia." Kerrie covered her mouth so she wouldn't laugh.

"Would you mind watching Declan for a bit tomorrow?"

"Your going out with Sam?" Kerrie nodded as she packed up Declan's clothes into his bag. "So your not going to give me any more info?" Danny asked crossing his arms.

"I have never gone on about who I was seeing. You tell me all about your love life but I never said I would do the same." Kerrie said in a whisper.

"Ok, fine." He said with a huff as he sat down at Kerrie's computer flipping it open. Kerrie silently finished packing everything that she didn't need then grabbed her bag of supplies.

"Pam will be here soon. I'm going to go to the lobby." Danny nodded but didn't look up from the computer. Kerrie walked down to the lobby to see a station wagon parked in the lot. Pam got out of the car wearing a skirt and a top and not her typical gothic style dress she wears at Fangtasia.

"I hear you have a date." Pam said with a smirk.

"Who told you?" Kerrie said with a laugh.

"Eric said that he disturbed a moment with you and the dog." Kerrie shook her head as she laughed.

"Where should we go?' Pam asked as Kerrie got in the car.

"Somewhere quiet will help you concentrate." Pam nodded and drove out to a quiet road and pulled to the side.

"Nothing is around here." Pam said scanning the area.

Kerrie took out her things and made a makeshift alter and set up the surrounding circle. Pam watched in interest as Kerrie explained what she was doing. She went through everything she set up and explained what everything was used for and what each piece symbolized.
