Chapter thirty-seven

Ammy's POV

"We haven't done anything!" I quickly halt any ideas that may be flooding dad's mind. We have not done a single thing and I do not need dad on my case right now.

"Then why give us all these gifts?" he demands, her eyes narrowing on Alec. Both of us shifting uncomfortably. I don't know whether we should tell them or not, I mean, I will be getting married and surely I would want my family there. But I'm scared crap-less how they will react. Maybe I can wait and tell them after it has taken place, they can't stop it then. Maybe that's a good option, but that isn't the real reason why we're here.

"Do you know how you have that online Fangtasia website? The one where people can order Fangtasia goods and you guys send them out to the people?" I probe, dad nodding slowly as he watches me suspiciously.

"Yes" he drags out the word, challenging me as to what I was about to ask him about it.

"I was wondering if I could have 10 metres of the bubble wrap you use? I know how you don't like giving people things so I thought the presents would sway you, plus they are useful" I note, smiling at him awkwardly. I watch as dad rolls his eyes, dropping his crossed arms to his sides.

"You do not need to give us things for that. You are my daughter, my family, you can have what you want for free" he assures me, whipping out his phone. I will assume he's phoning Pam.

"What are you hiding?" mom demands the second dad walks out of the room. How she guessed I was hiding something I will never know. It must be a motherly instinct or something.

"Um" I stall, not quite sure where to begin. I look over at Alec hopelessly, him looking just as unsure as I feel. He takes a deep breath as he takes my hand in his, gently tugging me closer to him.

"Come on, we'll go upstairs and talk in your old room, Alec, I think you should join us as well" mom tells us, motioning to the door just as dad comes into the room.

Sookie's POV

I cannot believe what I am hearing. I am not hearing this correctly, surely. But if I am, all I can say is thank God that I got Eric to stay down there with the twins, God knows how he would have reacted if he had been here listening to this.

"Why didn't you tell me that this shadow woman was stalking you? We could have thought up something! You don't have to do this, Ammy, we can think up something else. I promise" I try to change her mind, Ammy shaking her head in denial.

"It's not that simple, mom. This is the only way" she tells me, looking at Alec for back-up, him nodding in agreement. Even I could see that he was unsure of himself.

"You're children! You are not ready for a marriage and...God...I don't even want to think about the other God damn responsibility you will be taking on. You are only 16! You're still a child, you can't just go from being a care free child to a full grown mature adult like that" I click my fingers, tears rolling down Ammy's cheeks. The situation taking it's toll on her. Before I can even act and go to hug her, Alec already has her in his arms where he's holding her as close as possible. Trying to soothe her the best way he can.

"Ammy, have you really even thought about this?" I ask as I become over whelmed due to all the emotions attacking me due to this whole thing. I cannot believe what my daughter – albeit not my biological one – has got herself into. Why didn't she come and talk to me? Talk to Eric? Why did she think she had to hide all of this and just rely on Alec? Now look what she has got herself into. She is still just a child, she can't cope with such a huge life change. It's my responsibility to keep her safe and on track, she shouldn't have to put herself into such a position at such a young age. Why didn't I see this coming? How did I not see that something was bothering her? But even if I didn't pick up on it, she should still have come and talk to me. I could have helped her, I don't know how but I'm sure we could have found a way... It is my job as a mother to do that sort of thing after all.

"I have done nothing but think about it. You don't know how stressful and confusing this has all been on me! On me and Alec as a couple"

"You're sixteen, Ammy, can you really deal with all this responsibility. I mean, marriage is one thing. Ideally you shouldn't be getting married until your in your twenties. But this whole baby thing. That's just ridiculous, I don't think I could stand by and let you ruin your life like that. You're 16, you have just left home and you have only just entered into a relationship with a boy. You are not ready for the strain of a marriage and a child. Ammy, even I struggle with my marriage sometimes, that strain of needing to feel perfect for your husband right at the beginning, it really affects you. And as for a baby, well, I struggled with the twins, you were there. You saw how I struggled to manage them, it was difficult trying to bring up a young child who had just hit that terrible stage of temper tantrums, and then trying to deal with babies. It's not easy" I point out, trying my hardest to put her off of this ridiculous idea she has in her head.

"That's you, mom, not me. You were and still are in a completely different position to me, you're married to a Vampire so you were on your own during the day. You had two babies at the same time to deal with along with me and I'm not even your daughter. You chose to care for me like a mother would a daughter. With me it's different. I would be married to a Were who I have known for ten years, I'm in love with him and him me, if I need help with the baby I have loads of support. Not only do I have you, Alcide, Sam, the twins, dad and Pam, I also have Alec who would be there for me and the baby every step of the way. Twins don't run in either of our families so the chances of twins for us is very slim" she reasons, making me think about this logically and calmly.

"But twins didn't run in my family nor your dads and yet we still had twins" I counter, Ammy shaking her head.

"That isn't the point, mom!" Ammy yells, anger overriding any tears she may have once had.

"Did I really just hear all of that correctly?" dad probes, making us all whip around to see him stood leant up against the door frame, his arms crossed over his chest, his face contorted into many different emotions. But anger was the main one that stood out. Maybe I should get Alec to run for his life now.

AN: I hope this chapter was okay for your all, please let me know what you think and if I can get 5 reviews I will make the next chapter twice as long and I'm thinking that the next part may contain the wedding, or may be the rest of this argument, or a bit of both. We shall see :D xx
