Hey everyone! Long time no write eh? Well here is another one. Hope you are still with me! Review and let me know.

Chapter 41:

Oliver blinked rapidly, looking around the darkness that seemed to blanket her mind. She felt as though she couldn't move and every bit of effort she put into trying only made it harder for her. "Hello?" She yelled into the blackness. But nothing met her cries. The cold made her shiver and she wondered where she was. But one thing was very clear. She wasn't alone here.

"How long have you waited to call me Pamela?" Eric asked, a worried look written across his features as he looked down at the woman he loved. He wasn't sure he would ever feel as helpless as he had when she had run away. Or when she had come back... When she had told him she wasn't really back to be with him. Another thing he had forgotten about Oliver over the short time he had with her recently. He hated hearing the words no from her.

"A few hours." Sookie interrupted. "There was yelling and then a loud thump. I came to check on her and she was like this.. I can't wake her." Pam couldn't either. If her friend was gone.. And there was nothing Sookie could do.. She would be heart broken.

"Pamela, call Doctor Ludwig. Now. Tell her only that we have a friend who is not waking. I will pay her whatever she requires." The strange goblin of a woman was the only one he could think of who could do anything for Oliver at this point. "Sookie. I would ask you to go get some rest. I will stay with her for now." He didn't look up at her as he spoke, instead watching as Oliver lay still in the large bed.

Sookie was about to protest when she saw the sadness behind his eyes. But these days it wasn't as hidden as before. These days it was almost breaking through his rough exterior. She sighed, giving in to the viking. One thing was clear to her now; He loved her. Even if she didn't want the trouble that came along with Eric Northman at least she could be sure that he would take care of Oliver. No matter what.

Eric stared down at Oliver, pained as he did so. None of this made any sense to him. But that was Oliver wasn't it? Nothing about Fae made any sense to him. He knew she was special. He knew he loved her. But how to save her? That wasn't always something that would come easily to him.

"How long has she been pregnant?" The small, grumpy woman asked Eric.

"I.."

"I think she is around four months along." Sookie told her, not knowing one hundred percent. But she did the math.

"Hm." Doctor Ludwig looked down at the very pregnant girl. "This." She said, taking out a measuring tape and running it up over the baby bump. "This is not a normal four month measurement my dear." She eyed Eric and Sookie.

"Well... She's fae." Sookie shrugged, "That could have something to do with it."

The small doctor's eyes widened. "Why didn't you tell me that before? Don't you think it would be an important fact?" She scolded Sookie. "DO you know her lineage?" The woman asked, taking Oliver's arms and looking them over.

"You mean her family?" Sookie asked her. She nodded. "She's related to queen Mab." Sookie wasn't so sure the woman would know who that was. Or that most would.

Ludwig stopped, dropping Oliver's arms. "She's royalty?" She asked them. Eric wasn't sure what Olive's family was like or who they were. That wasn't something they discussed often. He had always thought that she was his family and nothing more. "You are aware that this is most likely related to Mab. I shouldn't even be here helping you. We could all be in great danger." The woman began packing up her doctor's bag.

"No. You must stay and fix her." Eric said, reaching for the tiny woman.

But she stopped and looked up. "That is not a normal child in there Mr. Northman. I am sure there is a lot more you haven't told me about all this and I am very sure that whatever it is I do not want to be a part of it."

"Just.. Please tell us what is happening?" Sookie pleaded. "Please.. She's important to us. Will her children be alright?"

Ludwig stopped, clasping her bag together. She sighed and leaned into Oliver, whispering quietly to the girl. Then she leaned in and waited for something. Her head moved closer as Oliver's mouth opened, her lips moving slowly. Doctor Ludwig moved away again and picked up her bag. "Her and the children are.. Stuck." She said.

"Stuck?" Sookie raised a brow.

"That is really all I can say Miss Stackhouse. Now if you would allow me to leave I really can't continue this examination." The woman pushed her way out the door and down the stairs, leaving Eric and Sookie to worry once more about Oliver.

"Please?" Oliver called out again. "Please.. Someone help me!" She breathed heavily, tears rolling down her face. "Please! I know you are there! Gods!" She bit down hard on her bottom lip, "WHY WON'T YOU ANSWER ME?"

"Oliver." The voice drifted towards her in the darkness. But with it came a small flicker of light.

"HELLO?" She yelled back, fighting whatever held her down.
