Ch 21

"Kerrie, he's cute." Becca said with a grin.

"I know."

"I was still holding out hope that I could set you up with Jon but Sam seems like a nice guy. My brother would have been a good guy for you."

"So you two caved in and found out?"

"Yea, Gerry was driving me crazy. He's excited for a boy but he did

have his heart set on a girl."

"There is always next time. Joey and Breanna are trying for another one."

"Now it's just Kayte and Matt."

"Kayte is anti-baby and I doubt Matt and Jo will have a baby. They

both like to travel."

"2 of my sisters are pregnant too."

"Wow, John and his wife just had a baby and my friend Allison had a

baby 4 months ago."

"How's Dec?"

"Asking a ton of questions. When we got here he asked Sam if we were going to move in with him." Becca started laughing. "My mother says stuff in front of him and he repeats it. At least he's not asking me about his dad anymore or asking for a baby brother or sister."

"He is a funny kid. Go spend some time with Sam. We'll watch him."

"Are you sure?"

"Yea, go have some fun. I know we're going to watch him tomorrow because you have to go to Fangtasia."

"Unfortunately." Kerrie said making a face. Becca pulled out a key from her pocket.

"Let me show you your room and then you two can go."

"Becca, thanks so much."

Gerry and Sam were sitting in the kitchen watching Declan play in the yard with Chloe while having a beer. A few minutes later Kerrie and

Becca walked into the room.

"You two are free to go." Becca said with a smile.

"Let me just tell Dec." Kerrie put down her bag and went outside.

"Dec, Sam and I are going out for a bit. I'll be back later. Becca and Gerry will be putting you to bed ok?"

"Did you tell Becca about the book?"

"I did, I told her we're reading Harry."

"Ok, bye mommy." Declan came over and gave her a hug before running to catch the dog. Kerrie walked back in the house and Sam stood up.

"It was nice meeting you too."

"Have fun." Becca said with a smile. Sam and Kerrie headed out.

"How long do you need to see Sookie for?" Sam asked.

"It might take an hour or so."

"As much as I want us to go back to my place. I'm going to drop you off at her house and then we can spend the whole night together."

Kerrie nodded chills going down her spine at the thought.

They got into the car and the drive to Bon Temps was tense. Both Sam and Kerrie were trying to keep their hands to themselves. When they pulled up to Sookie's house Kerrie turned to face Sam.

"Good luck." Sam said with a smile.

"It's a hard spell, even though I am the one who made it." Kerrie was about to open the door but she stopped and moved forward to kiss Sam. After a few minutes of kissing Sam moved back.

"We don't want to get carried away." Kerrie nodded then opened the door.

"See you in a bit." Kerrie closed the door and walked up the steps of Sookie's house. She rang the bell as Sam drove off.

"Hey Kerrie, thanks for doing this." Sookie said opening the door.

"I'm glad to help. How has it been?"

"Weird, I keep dreaming of Eric and thinking about him. It's driving me a bit crazy."

"How are you with blocking people?"

"Keeping people out of my head?"

"Yea."

"It's usually the other way around."

"I hope you don't mind, that's what I do. I've been around a few telepaths and a few psychic vampires so I've trained myself to keep a block up unless I'm completely relaxed."

"That is fine by me. I hate having to hear people's thoughts."

"With some practice you can block everyone out."

"I try but it's hard."

"If you want I can give you the number of a telepath I know. She lives in Toronto but she can explain how to block people out better then I can." Sookie nodded and Kerrie followed her into the living room.

"Is ok for you to work in here?"

"It's great."
