True Blood III

Ciela only just woke up and saw Eric looking down at her and he smiled. "What happened?" "You got almost drained I saved your life." Ciela snuggled closer to Eric as he spoke to her softly. "We should think of a name for him." Ciela said quietly. "How about I will pick the first name and you pick the middle?" Eric responded. Ciela nodded and thought. "His name should be Eric." Eric said. Ciela looked at him weirdly. "In Viking times we often named our first son our own name." she smiled and laughed. "Big E and little E." she said happily. "His other name should be alexander." Eric thought that was the perfect name. Ciela fell asleep and dreamt of nothing other than goodness.

Ciela woke up in the comfort of the bed with Eric right beside her. She looked to her side table and saw a note.

Dear Ciela

Make sure to eat something today and have a true blood if you can stomach it. Your BMW should arrive today or tomorrow. Remember that we are going to merlottes tonight to see Tara, if you still want to. Also I have a surprise for you.

I love you and Eric

Ciela sat up and stretched. She went through the draws and laughed. She couldn't believe Eric actually bought her clothes. She put on a yellow summer dress and walked out through the two doors. She came out through the cupboard and had to cover her eyes because she hadn't seen the sunlight in a while. She closed the door and looked around the house for a while. She got to the kitchen and looked for something to eat. "Umm… who are you?" a voice said from behind Ciela. She jumped a bit in shock. "You scared me." Ciela said. "Umm are you the master's lover?" she asked sacredly. "Ah yes, my name is Ciela, who are you?" she asked curiously. "I'm Alicia, a day maid, so I guess I will be looking after you." She said. "Ah well you don't have to…" Ciela said. Alicia smiled. "The master is kind and generous, so I don't mind." Alicia smiled. "Well I guess I am hungry." Alicia smiled and went to the fridge. "Here have this." She said. Alicia passed her a bowl of salad and Ciela started eating it. "Um miss" Alicia said. "The master said that you need special care, is that for a special reason?" Alicia asked cautiously. Ciela stuttered a bit then went to open her mouth but nothing came out. "Umm… ahh…well…i…kind of need a true blood" Alicia smiled. "Yes of course may I ask why you would need it?" Ciela mumbled. "I might wait for Eric to say." Alicia frowned. "Who is Eric?" "Oh, um his name is Eric your master's name." Alicia nodded and took the bowl from Ciela, since she finished it. "Alicia, what's the time?" "It's 5.00pm" "wow I was asleep until 4.30." Alicia laughed and then got back to what she was doing. Suddenly there was a knock at the door. Ciela didn't know whether to answer it or not. She decided to, so she walked up to the door and took a deep breath. She opened the door to see a man standing there. "Ah… can I help you?" Ciela asked cautiously. The man stepped forward a bit then bowed. "Yes, I was wondering if my lord was awake yet." He asked. Ciela looked behind the man and saw the sun going down. "Ah. I don't think he is…" she was cut off by a hand on her shoulder. She looked up and saw Eric. "Yes, I'm here." He said simply. "The car you ordered is here." "Oh good, get one of my guards to park it in the garage." Eric closed the door and hugged Ciela tightly. She smiled at him wrapping her arms around his neck. He let go off her and smiled. "What's so funny?" she asked. He just kept smiling. Then he knelt down on one knee. Ciela gasped and looked around frantically, she blushed beyond belief. "Ciela Stackhouse, will you marry me?" he asked, his blue eyes sparkling at her. "Yes, yes, yes!" she squeaked. Eric pulled out a ring with an emerald cut. He slid it on to her finger and kissed her passionately. "Do you like my surprise?" he asked happily. "Yes, I love you so much. You make so happy." Love, comfort, warmth, support. "He knows." Ciela said. Eric smiled against her fore head. "Do you still want to go to merlottes?" Eric asked. "Yes." Eric smiled at her and picked her up. "We are going to take your new car." Eric said smiling at her. "You really didn't have to buy me a car." Ciela questioned. Eric laughed at her. "You may not want it, but it makes me feel like you are safe." Ciela kissed him and they got into Ciela's car.

On the way to bon temps Eric played his Swedish music, Ciela was deep in thought. "What is keeping you in thought, lover?" Eric asked putting a hand on her shoulder, still focused on the road. "Oh, it's just that I don't know what to say when all the people ask why I am walking around with a vampire." He smiled at her. "It makes you feel uncomfortable with me." She shook her head. "No, I just don't want an argument happening." Eric laughed. "Well I'm going with you anyway, it don't trust Sam." Eric lowered his voice. Ciela sighed and patted her small bump. Eric pulled up into the merlottes drive way.

"Hey look at that, that's a good looking car." Lafayette said. "That guy must be loaded, or he is just showing off." Said a women standing just behind him. "I'm going to talk to him" she said walking up to the car. As she got there she felt a gush of wind and saw the car door open. She saw a tall 6'5" Swedish man with longish blood hair. He helped someone out of the car and growled at Lafayette and the woman. "Holy shit! Eric! The fuck!" Lafayette yelled. Eric smiled at him then ignored him. Lafayette looked closer and saw Ciela. "What the fuck Ciela!" Lafayette yelled at Ciela. He walked toughly up to her. Eric stepped in front of Ciela, one hand on Ciela, protectively. "Take another step, I dare you." Eric growled, possessively. Ciela put her hand on Eric's shoulder, and turned around. He pulled her hand up to his face and rubbed it. "Ciela, you whore. You're such a slut!" Eric rolled his eyes and looked at him. "You really shouldn't have said that." Eric grabbed his neck and slowly lifted him off the ground. "Eric stop!" Ciela yelled. He looked at her and she looked at him sorrowfully. He put him down and grabbed her hand. They walked off into the bar. As soon as they walked in the bar everyone stared at them. "Just ignore them." Eric said pulling her towards the bar. 'Fucking slut should've been killed by René when he had the chance'' she could've done so much better than that' 'look at the way she looks at us like we are the freaks here' 'we should burn this mother fucker right now' 'what would her grandmother say?' 'I wonder if René is still around.' 'I heard that René was still alive and is after her good riddance' 'what's Ciela doing with this vampire?' 'Great first bill and now this, what a whore.' Ciela couldn't block all the thoughts coming to her head, but she had to persevere. Tara looked at Ciela with a funny smirk. "Eyes on things that concern you people!" Sam yelled as he walked out into the bar area. Everybody had their eyes back on what they were doing except for one table. "Tara can we talk to you outside?" Tara nodded and put her towel down. "Cover me Sam." Tara said, not looking at him. Tara and Eric got out the door but Arlene blocked Ciela off. Eric looked back and growled. No, Ciela sent through the bond and he just waited outside. "Arlene move." Ciela said. Arlene stood still and didn't move. "What's that? Why are you bruised?" Arlene smirked. "Because everyone thought that bill was nice, and all he did was tried to kill me, now move." Ciela a slight bit agitated. Everyone gasped; even Eric looked surprised from what she could see. "And what's going to make me?" Ciela rolled her eyes. "I will." Eric whispered in her ear. Arlene stepped forward, and just tried to hide her fright. 'Fucking bitch! Why come back? Haha she even gained a bit of weight… hang on that's not all over, it's just stomach! I bet that bitch is pregnant. Maybe I should tell everyone. Or maybe tell the FOTS!' Ciela stepped back and was shocked. If this got to the FOTS Eric and everyone she cared about are dead. Arlene knew straight away that Ciela read her mind. "You fucking bitch! You read my mind!" Arlene yelled. She came at Ciela like a killer bat from hell. She wrapped her hands around her neck.

Eric looked at Ciela step back a bit, something wasn't right. "You fucking bitch! You read my mind!" he heard Arlene yell. Then she raced up to her and wrapped her hands around Ciela's neck. No way was he going to let this happen to her again. He was up next to Arlene and grabbed her hands before anyone could react. "Stop this right now!" Eric yelled in his threatening voice. Everybody except Sam, Tara and Ciela got frightened. "Oh, before I go a word of advice. We know when a human has wronged us, we can smell it." Eric picked up Ciela and carried her outside. Once they got outside Eric still didn't put Ciela down he just held her like a child would a puppy. Tara stared at them.

Tara looked at how Eric went in and helped Ciela, maybe he was different? She thought of how a vampire could be so gentle to one person. Well if Ciela was happy that was going to make her happy. She saw Eric walk out, with Ciela in his arms, and thought of how sweet they looked. He reluctantly put her down and told her he would wait in the car. "Tara I have something really important to tell you." Ciela squeaked. Tara couldn't help but smirk, her best friend was so childish sometimes. "Yes, what is it?" she asked, wanting to know the answer as quick as possible. "I'm pregnant." Tara's smile got bigger and bigger than she screamed, "eeeee!" she held Ciela's hand and jumped up and down. "Do you have a bump? Can I see?" Tara asked excitedly. Ciela nodded and made sure no one was looking. She smiled and lifted up her shirt a bit so she could see. Tara knelt down touched it. "Wow… how far?" Tara asked and Ciela knew she had to lie. "Three months." Tara looked weirdly at her. "Shit… already through the first trimester." "Tara I have something else to tell you." Ciela said with a huge smiled on her face. "I'm getting married." Tara almost fainted. Ciela held out her hand and Tara looked at it then pointed towards Ciela's BMW. Ciela nodded frantically. "When did he ask you?" Tara asked in surprise. "About an hour before I got here." Tara smiled at her. "Is this his to?" she asked pointing to her stomach. Ciela nodded. "I'm happy for you Ciela, but… I still don't like him." They both laughed and Ciela had to say goodbye. "I love you Tara." Ciela said, hugging her tightly. Tara said the same but didn't hug her as tight. Eric opened the door for Ciela and waited for her to get. Once she was in he closed the door. Tara told him to come to her just for a second. "Yes?" Eric asked surprised that Tara would even let him get this close to her. "Take good care of her please… she tends to walk into a lot of trouble." Eric smiled. "Don't worry no one is going to harm her." He waved to Tara and she waved back, and with that they drove off.

Ciela fell asleep on the way home, but Eric wasn't taking her straight home. He drove through Shreveport and pulled up next to a weird old hut. He carefully lifted her up and locked the car. She moved in his arms, not awake yet. He walked up to the door and knocked on it. "Northman? What can I do for you?" doctor Ludwig asked. "This is who I told you about." Doctor Ludwig looked at her over and over. "What a perfect specimen of a female human. I suppose you have proposed to her yet?" Eric nodded and Ludwig motioned her hand for him to come in. he walked in and placed her on a bed. "How long is she and do you know how long it will last for?" Eric asked, trying to find out whether the fae were right or not. Ludwig pressed on her stomach a bit a moved her hand a bit. "Well I would say she is about a month and a half of a 4 month pregnancy. But I believe she will need blood to sustain the baby. It comes to my attention that it will be mostly vampire." Ludwig said lifting her hand off Ciela's stomach. "Take good care of her Northman, she will need it. If anything comes up call me straight away." Eric nodded and Ludwig shooed him outside.

When they got home Alicia had already left but left a note on the counter. Miss Ciela, there is a chicken salad in the fridge and fruit on the table. There is also already cooked meat in the fridge and true blood; you just have to warm it up. Eric picked it up and walked up the cupboard. He opened it and pressed his hands to the sensors again. He had already set Ciela's hand prints onto them. He slowly undressed her, with just her bra and underwear on. Pulling back the covers, Eric tucked Ciela in. he could just watch her all night. He knew the sun was coming up but didn't want to go back to sleep. He went upstairs to his office on the third floor.
