Chapter 40:
I blinked out of the office so fast I forgot to even mention to Eric that I could do that now.. When I was emotional enough that is. It seemed to fail me any other time. It also made me very dizzy. I wasn't sure if it was the baby's or if it would always be that way. Would I ever learn my true potential? Or would I always be shocked to find I could do something new, something I couldn't control.
"Your back." Sookie said, peeking around the door way of the kitchen. "How did it go?"
"As well as it could. I think I may have broken his heart and the ran away.. But what did I expect? It's what I do." It was what I would always do to him.
"Relax Olive, focus on being home for a little while. Eric may be the father of your unborn children but it doesn't mean you have to think about him so much. Think about a nursery or finding a doctor." She was right as usual, I would need both of those things. But to stop thinking about Eric would take a miracle, he was the only real family I had. I loved the stupid man. The fact that I carried his children only increased my thoughts of the man.
Would he be a good father? He would have been back home, I was sure of that. He was happy then.. We were happy then. We had the makings of what would have been a great home for our kids. He had so many things he could have taught them. Things were easier, there was less we had to worry about. Now I knew that Mab might be coming for me or my little ones. I had no idea what that meant or how I would protect myself. All I knew is I hated the idea of raising kids in this world.
"Stop that." Sookie grumbled, handing me a glass of water. "Stop thinking about him."
"I can't and you know that." I said smirking back at the woman. "It's like it was with you and Bill.. The difference is I have been doing this dance for many years now and I am afraid that this pregnancy only speeds it up."
"Will you at least give it a shot?" She sighed, touching my shoulder, "That man stresses you out."
"I try every minute of every day Sook. But for you I will keep trying." I lied knowing that I couldn't live up to that promise. The man would be around a lot more in the near future.. There was no hope for me.
That night had been awful, I didn't sleep once again. I hadn't slept in so long that I was sure half the things that had happened around me recently had been a hallucination.
"Claudine." I whispered into the cool air outside my open window. The night was clear enough that I could see the moons light through the trees. "Please.. Claudine I need you." In the past calling her hadn't done any immediate good but I couldn't think of another way. I was exhausted, I was alone and I was sick. I was always sick.
'Oliver.'
"Claudine?" I yelled into the darkness, "Claudine!"
'Oliver, down here.' Soft whispers filled my head as I reached up and ran my hand through the tangles of my un-brushed hair, 'Oliver you must jump.' It called out to me again.
"No.. No I can't jump. I can't jump!" I called back to the unknown voice from bellow my open window. "Please! Please help me! Claudine!" I couldn't escape this place. I needed sleep, oh gods.. Why couldn't I sleep?
'Oliver please..' It was almost a wail that floated up through the darkness. But it didn't make any sense! Why wouldn't Claudine just show up like she normally would? Did Oliver really have time to decide?
"Okay! Okay I'm coming down." She agreed finally deciding it was the only way. She placed one bare foot on the ledge and swung around so she could climbed down the trellis. The night was cold and she cold see her breath in the air as she climbed the never ending ladder towards the sound.
"How long has she been like this?" Pamela asked Sookie as they both stared down at the unmoving form of Oliver. Her face was pale and they couldn't seem to wake her no matter what they seemed to do.
"Since last night. I heard her screams from the kitchen.. I tried to wake her but I couldn't." Sookie replied as she removed the warm cloth from her best friends forehead. "It can't be right.. She needs help."
"If you would just let me call Eric I am sure he would know what to do." She muttered, "Have you changed your mind?" Sookie had refused her advice multiple times already. Calling Eric made her feel as if she was betraying Oliver in some way.
"Then she stays like this. There isn't anything I can do for her." Pam shrugged, denying any form of help. She was certainly loyal.
"Hang on a minute Pam! Those.. Children in there belong to your prized father! Do something or risk them dying." How could Sookie feed Oliver? How could she make sure she took her vitamins? There was just no way that was happening.
"The fact that you believe that makes me think you are dumber then I had originally thought. Whatever they are they are certainly not Eric's. It isn't possible. Now.. You let me call him or I leave." She laced her arms over her chest as she watched the small blonde girl.
"Fine. Just.. Just call Eric." She said, caving.
