Chapter thirty-six

Ammy's POV

Mine and Alec's talk didn't exactly go ahead, we sort of got to the field, and then I remembered that my family would probably be home by now, which means that they have most likely tried to contact me. So we had to hurriedly head back into our world so that I could pick up signal again, allowing me to phone dad.

"It's about time you phoned up. Your mother has been worried sick, not to mention me and the twins. We have tried to call you over 20 times; we have left you several messages plus about 10 text messages. You should really learn how to answer your phone" dad grumbles, notifying me instantly that I have to deal with one pissed off father. Wait until he finds out about these acts of purity. But then again, we don't have to exactly tell him about it until after we have done it. That would probably be more ideal…or maybe it won't be. God, I'm so confused.

"I'm sorry, I've been held up with some things. But it's all fine now" I lie, my eyes latched onto Alec as he paces across the room deep in thought. I am putting him in such a difficult position here, but at least he has extra time to think things through before we sit down and talk. I don't want to pressure him into this, I will find another way if he isn't happy about it. I don't want him to be upset.

"Hmm, fine. I will accept that answer, but, Ammy, is there anything you wish to tell me?" crap, he's on to me. I can sense it.

"Um…no, look, I need to go, but I'll come down and see you all tomorrow? I'm just really tired right now" I quickly rush out, figuring that now he knows I'm fine I can go and talk to Alec. He looks as though he has come to some sort of decision.

"We will talk tomorrow, and you will talk to me about whatever is on your mind" then with that he puts the phone down, making me stare at the phone in disbelief. He never was big on saying goodbye. But the main though on my mind right now is how do we tell him? Or do we not tell him and wait until it's all over? After all, he would only just turn all overprotective and try to stop me.

"We should do this" he assures me, coming over to me where he takes my hands in his, his eyes meeting mine.

"Alec, this isn't a decision we can just make like that," I click my fingers "it requires talking and time. Think about what we would be getting ourselves into. Think about how much responsibility will be on our shoulders and most of all, think about how are parents will react. You have so much on your plate right now, what with your family and everything, I just don't want to add anymore to that" I sigh, Alec shaking his head as he drops my hands.

"Don't you think I know that? I know all of that, Ammy, and I still want to help you. Surely that should tell you something? My brother is going to be fine, the doctor told us that, and that's all that matters. He's going to be fine, you on the other hand… I worry about you, and, Ammy, just so you know; I want all of this with you one day anyway. You are very mature for your age, you are wise, beautiful, and intelligent, and I think you could handle anything that is thrown at you"

"Only if you are by my side" I tell him without missing a heartbeat, his hand finding mine again.

"Do you really not want this? I know we're young, I know that we're probably not ready, but what I do know is that I love you and together we will be able to do anything and everything. Just as long as you are here with me, alive and well with no demons after you" he chuckles, making me giggle as random tears begin to well up in my eyes. Only he can provoke this sort of emotion in me.

"So, what do you think? Shall we do this, or shan't we?" he probes, his eyes boring into mine.

Eric's POV

"Baka, baka liten kaka, rulla, rulla liten bulla, ringla, ringla liten kringla, mjöla den och pricka den och… skjuts in i ugnen" I hear my twins sing together as they sit in front of the oven, I couldn't help but chuckle at their little song. They have been baking with Sookie it would seem.

"Have you two been good while I have been asleep?" asleep sounds so much nicer than 'dead to the world'.

"Oh, yes. We have been very good, dad. We have been baking all day, right now we have a cake, some buns and pretzels in the oven!" Annika tells me excitedly. How they fit all that in I will never know, but then again I did buy a huge oven for the kitchen.

"Are you making Ammy and the boy a buffet?" I chuckle when Sookie comes into the kitchen covered in flour.

"You could say that" she mumbles, checking on the cakes before coming over to me for a hug. When she finally pulls back I wipe away some flour from her nose, causing her to giggle.

"Are you sure you were not rolling around in the flour rather than cooking it? Actually, did it put up a fight? Is that why you are covered in the ingredients?" I probe, stroking over her powdery white cheeks.

"Yes, they went ninja on my ass" she admit embarrassed, I couldn't help but release a full hearted laugh before there was a sudden ding that sounds through the room.

"They're ready, mom!" the twins shout simultaneously, Sookie sighing as she goes to turn around.

"Lover, you go get cleaned up, I will take them out" I assure her, ushering her towards the door before I head to the oven. Sookie smiling back at me before heading upstairs. This is a random thought, but we need to start ordering baby furniture and arranging the nursery out. The baby will be here soon after all.

"Do not touch the oven or the cakes, otherwise you will burn yourselves" I warn the twins as I place the goods on the cooling rack, the doorbell going just as I finish up.

"Ammy!" Annika shouts as she runs into the corridor and to the front door. I couldn't help but chuckle as I go to the fridge to grab myself a blood where I pop it into the microwave.

"We got you something as an apology for leaving you on your own with Zach" Ammy tells Annika as they come into the kitchen, Ammy passing Annika a bag. Clothes.

"We also got you and mom this, it's not much but we thought it would help" Ammy smile as she passes me a bag just as Sookie comes into the room. After Sookie has finished hugging the new arrivals she comes to stand next to me, her eyes on the bag.

"You didn't have to do this, Ammy. We understand why you had to go" Sookie assures them, but Ammy just insists that we open the bag. But I cannot help but notice how the Were is being very quiet. What are they up to?

"Oh, Ammy" Sookie gushes, pulling out several baby outfits and a teddy bear. Along with a couple of baby blankets.

"Thank you" I thank them for both me and Sookie as Annika squeals, I look over to her to find that she has a brand new dress in her hands.

"What about me?" Zach probes, crossing his arms over his chest defiantly. He reminds me of me.

"We got you those new trainers you wanted" Ammy tells him, Alec passing him the shoe box.

"Okay, enough of this. I want you to tell me right now what is going on, it is obvious that these gifts are to butter us up. What have you done now?" I demand, wasting no time in getting to the point.

AN: I hope you all enjoyed that chapter and the little song the twins said means this:

"Bake, bake little cake; Roll, roll the little buns, Coil, curl the small pretzel, Flour it and mark it And... shove in the oven!"
