Chapter four
Eric's POV
"You're doing the right thing, Eric, letting her have Alec round. But I will admit that I'm not too thrilled about having to have this talk with her. I'm sure I had the same talk with her last year" Sookie points out as we sit down on the couch, waiting for Ammy to come join us.
"And that is why I am here as well. I will take part in this chat; I just want my daughter to be safe. Although I would prefer to put her off of sex for as long as possible; the amount of teen moms I have seen in Arkansas is ridiculous! I do not wish for Ammy to be a teen mom, she would never cope. She can barely look after herself, let alone a baby" I grumble, just as Ammy walks into the room.
"If I'm not capable of looking after myself, then why are you leaving your children in my care, hmm? Am I capable enough to look after them?" great, now I've set her off.
"Honey, your father didn't mean that. He was trying to make a point" Sookie tries to assure her, but Ammy still looks as pissed off as ever. Damn it, now I've gave her another reason to hate me.
"Ammy, I'm sorry; I didn't mean for it to sound like tha-" I try to apologise but she cuts me off.
"Whatever, I don't care. Let's just get this over and done with so you can get on with your romantic evening" she insists as she leans back into the chair. I take that chance to observe her clothing; I could feel the frown as it pulled at my face. She's dressed in shorts that come down to mid-thigh and a long sleeved black top. I could see the scars on her legs from where those sick Weres bit her when she was younger. At least I managed to kill that no good Uncle of hers for putting her through that. She was only six years old! And he was probably putting her through that years before I ever turned up in her life.
"Ammy, we just want to make sure that you know about sex. Not just briefly about it, but what having unsafe sex can do and put you through. There is the chance of STD's and getting pregnant. Could you cope with a baby at your age?" Sookie asks her softly.
"If Alec stayed by my side and you two offered support, then yes. Yes, I could cope with a baby" she answers honestly.
"You may think that now, honey, but once you actually have a baby you'll see that you can't cope. Not at your age. You are far too young, you're only sixteen!" Sookie emphasises Ammy's age, just to help get her point across.
"I don't see why we're having this talk. Sex is only for responsible adults, and if you do decide to have sex always use contraception. Whether it is in the form of a condom or pill, or any other type of contraception. Preferably use both the pill and condoms because then you are protected fully from both STD's and getting pregnant. Not only that but you should always make sure that the person you have sex with is clean and that they actually have a genuine interest in you. No point in a one night stand, you're better off giving your virginity to someone you love and care for rather than some random stranger you will never see again" Ammy recites to us.
"Hmm, maybe she doesn't need this talk" Sookie mumbles making me nod my head in agreement. It would seem that the school is actually teaching her properly, now that pleases me greatly.
There is a knock at the door, causing Ammy to jump up and run over there where she opens the door to Alec. She flings herself in his arms where he holds her close; he places a soft kiss on her lips before she guides him into the living room. I eye him sceptically; I will be keeping an eye on him. Any sign that he is about to break my daughters heart and I will kill him. Literally.
"Sir, ma'am" he nods his head to both of us. Well, at least he has manners unlike most young men. I will have to give him that.
"Alec, Ammy, we will see you when we get back. And no funny stuff" I warn them as me and Sookie make our way out of the house. Tonight is going to be very special, for I have a very important surprise for my beautiful bonded.
Ammy's POV
"Thank God" I sigh as me and Alec cuddle on the sofa. The twins are in bed, after they did their homework of course. I told them to tell me if they needed help. But it seems that maths is both of their strong points. Funny, I've always been rubbish at maths. But with their homework done they're now sat in bed watching a film; I can guarantee that they will be asleep within the next hour or two.
"Was the talk that bad?" he inquires as he strokes up and down my arm soothingly.
"You could say that" I mutter.
"Want to talk about it?" he probes lightly as he switches the TV onto some film that's playing.
"What? You want to talk about sex as well?" I ask as I look at him. His expression telling me everything.
"Dad was right. You do just want sex, he said that you would try to push me into it one day" I shake my head as I remove myself from his arms so that I'm stood in front of him.
"No, it's not like that. I'm not trying to push you into anything; I really like you, Ammy. Heck, I think I'm on the road to falling in love with you. Sex is the least of my worries, but it would be nice for us to talk about it. We don't have to actually do anything, just talking. I promise" he tries to reach out to me emotionally. Did he just say he was on the road to falling in love with me? Oh, my, God. Maybe he isn't after sex, maybe he really does just want to talk about it. Maybe he just wants to know what I want, maybe he's just thinking about me.
"What do you want to talk about within that topic?" I query as I sit back down in the sofa, this time facing him rather than cuddling to him.
"I just want to know what you want to do. Do you want to wait until you're married, or do you want to start having sex as soon as you're legal? I just want to know, I don't want to hurt you or mislead you" he informs me as he gently pushes a strand of my hair behind my ear.
"Um, I never really thought about it. I guess…I guess when the time comes I'll know" I shrug, figuring that that is a pretty logical answer. He nods with a small smile as he pulls me into his arms.
"So, then. Tell me about your day?" he asks hopefully, I laugh as I start to relay the events of the day to him. I wonder if this is what mom and dad do in the evenings when we're all in bed. You know, talk about mindless little things.
I wonder how their evening is going, I know that dad has a pretty big surprise for mom; I walked into the room when he was looking at the item he's bought for her. All I can say is that he is as nervous as a child just starting a brand new school. But he won't let it show, he wants to look all manly for Sookie. I roll my eyes at the thought. Men, I will never know.
AN: The next chapter will be about Eric and Sookie's date; as well as Eric's little surprise xx
