AN: Happy Christmas, Boxing Day and New Year's. Hello everyone. I tried to upload this yesterday but I could not get to my account so it had to wait. I know it has been forever and I am sorry for that. All I can say is that real life can get in the way when you want to write. Also I have had horrible writer's block. I have written and rewritten this chapter four times now and finally found a sequence I wanted. My creativity has also been focused elsewhere. I hope you have had and are still having a nice holiday. Anyway I hope this chapter can make up for the ridiculously long wait. As always read, enjoy and review.

Chapter 16 Milkshakes, Mornings and Mommies

Sookie's Point of View

I really need to quit waking up like this. For the second time in so many days I woke up in a strange room with Godric and Eric hovering over me. Thank Fraye she is awake. I thought we were going to lose her.

"Why did you think you were going to lose me?" I asked confused. Both of their faces changed from concern to surprise back to concern.

"Lover I did not say that out loud." Eric answered my question.

"I believe our little one has started to hear our thoughts." Godric looked between us.

CHEESE AND RICE, I'M SERIOUSLY OUT LUCK. I think to myself. Both my guys look at me with awe in their eyes, maybe this is not as bad as I thought.

"Sookie calm down we will do nothing to harm you. This could potentially be a good thing." Godric reassures me joining me on the bed.

"Godric is right lover we could use this in an emergency to communicate without the risk of being over heard. We should test how far this will reach and if we can hear you. Lover I want you to try and think something at me." I want to laugh at the excitement in his voice.

I'm skeptical that it will even work but I concentrate on how much I would like to take a bath. I think about the water been soothing and warm both Eric and Godric chuckle. "I think we can make that happen. We might even be persuaded to join you." Godric answers my thought rushing into the bathroom to start the water.

"Lover let me help you." Eric offers me a hand helping me to my feet. He slowly unzips my dress or I should say what is left of it, taking extra care not to hurt my thigh. He then moves to take off his own clothes. I peel my blood soaked undies off throwing them in the trash. When I walk into the bathroom I find Godric already in one of the largest bathtubs I have ever seen. I pause for a second before climbing into the tub with him. Eric not wanting to be left out wastes no time climbing in after me. The two of them work in tandem to clean me. I could totally get use to this. Once I am thoroughly washed them move a vamp speed to clean themselves. Godric helps me from the tub and dries me before wrapping me up in a fluffy white robe. My stomach growls ferociously with hunger.

"Little one when was the last time you ate?" He asks leading me over to the bed. I notice that the sheets have already been changed and turned down. Eric is lounging against the head board with sleep pants riding low on his hips.

"At breakfast this morning." I answer sheepishly as my stomach gives another mighty roar.

"Let's get you feed and then we can all go to sleep for the day. Also you need to take this after you eat." Godric says picking up a glowing vial.

"What's that?" I look at the vial intrigued.

"We had Dr. Ludwig see you. She said you need to take this when you eat for the next few days. It will make you feel better. Now let order you some room service so you have a dose before you go to sleep." Eric insisted handing me the room service menu. While I am hungry I don't want to eat a ton if I was going to be going to sleep after. I ordered a milkshake and a plate of fries. I down my fries and shake quickly followed by the glimmering vial minutes before sun rise. I curl up between the two of them on the bed and fall into a dreamless sleep.

Claude's Point of View

Popping into a vampire hotel is not on my list of things to do but I need to check on Sookie. I find her sandwiched between two the world's most beautiful, yet deadly creatures. I perch myself up on the dresser to wait for her to wake up. About ten minutes later she starts to stir. I watch as she realizes her predicament and can't help but laugh. Her head whips to look in my direction.

"Who are you and what are you doing in our room?" She queries.

"Well I'm Claude." I smirk at her before continuing. "I'm your cousin. Your grandfather sent me to check on you. I can see that you are doing great."

"That's great and I am sure it's lovely to meet you, but can you get me out. I'm stuck and I really need to pee." Sookie blushes.

"Oh it is I will soon be your favorite cousin. I think you could get out if you tried. Imagine that you are standing in front of me. Shut your eyes and really concentrate." I instruct her hopping down to the ground from my perch upon the dresser.

"How is imagining I'm over there going to do me any good?" She huffs.

"Just humor me. Shut your eyes and take a deep breath." I wait while she does. "Now picture the spot on the floor in front of me." With two soft pops she is standing with her nose touching my chest. "See I told you could do it."

Her eyes snap open in amazement. "Oh my … but I was … and now I'm. How the heck did I do that?"

"Simply put you are a fairy and we can pop anywhere we want." My smirk broadens. She smiles before making a beeline to the bathroom. I look around the room and locate the phone. I ring room service and order everything on the menu that a human would want to consume. While I have watched my cousin from afar I have not made a note of what it is that she likes to eat. She is bound to like something on this table.

Andre's Point of View

She is getting absolutely ridiculous. I have gone from being her most trusted warrior to a fucking errand boy. If I could get away with disobeying my crazy bitch of a maker I would. I honestly loved her at one time. She knew what it was too be used and abused. She knew what it was like to be taken from your home and sold off as chattel. Now I am afraid she has become the abuser forgetting her own past and essentially repeating.

I almost feel sorry for her pet. I know that Hadley has never wanted to be in the palace. She was stoned out of her mind when we found her. I don't know how she has survived as long as she has in this gilded cage. I have done everything I can to help her and I will continue to do so. Sophie's over use of her maker's command has forced my hand. I am going to take my sweet time locating Hadley. Maybe I find her when she has gone to another state and asked for protection. Maybe I help her into the arms of someone kind.

I don't know how much longer my brothers and I can take this shit. While the Berts are not as well-spoken as I am, I know from our interactions that they are just as sick of her stupidity. As much as it pains me to think this I am going to have to get help from Northman if I am ever going to be free of her.

I tracked Hadley's smell to the interstate where it dissipates. It appears she is headed north towards Shreveport. Well if I am going that way then I might as well stop in and have a chat with Northman. I pull my motorcycle into traffic and speed to my new destination.

Sookie's Point of View

I can't believe that I actually did that. I mean how the heck did that work? I know that the guys have said I'm a fairy as has Fintan but I mean really that is just weird. Then again I guess that it is just another thing that will be changing.

It's kind of cool to know that I have a bigger family then I thought. I wonder how many of them there are? I have so many questions for Claude. I guess I know how he got into here. Is that how fairies travel all the time? What else can he do? For that matter what else can I do? I finish my bathroom business and return to my new cousin. I must have been in the bathroom for a very long time upon reentering the room I find Claude lounging on the sofa with a rather impressive spread of food.

"I hope you don't mind I found that I was a bit famished. I figure your boys won't mind." He smirks offering me a plate of fruits.

"Oh sure they will just love that another man has been in the room while they were asleep." I plop myself down on the plush club chair.

"If you don't tell them then I won't." His smirk widens. "Now I am sure you have loads of questions so go ahead and fire away." He leans forward and pops an orange segment into his mouth. Before I can there is popping sound on the other side of the room.

"What is it with strange fairies popping into the room unannounced? I mean really. Is it so much to ask that you use the door?" I ask no one in particular.

?'s Point of View

I knew he was up to something, the cowardly little shit. This is the last straw he has gone too far this time. There is only one thing I can do. I will go now it must be done now. Stepping away from the pond's reflective surface I take a deep breath and pop.

Hadley's Point of View

Nancy the truck driver wakes me when we enter town. A few minutes later my breath hitches when I see the house I thought I would never see again. I thank Nancy for the ride and make my way to the front door. I am afraid at what he will say. I have not seen him in three and a half years. Not since I was in the hospital. I can remember the way his head smelt. I wonder if Remy told him anything about me. Granted I don't know that I would want him to have told him much about what I was like. I know that I never had the chance to be a good mom but I want it now. I knock and wait. I can hear little feet running to the door. It opens a crack to reveal a small blonde boy with the bluest eyes. I can't help but to think just how much he looks like Jason. I know instantly who he is and it makes me smile.

"Hi honey is your daddy here?" I ask.

He shakes his head yes before hollering at the top of his lungs. "Daddy, my Mommy is at the door can I keep her?"

AN #2: So what do you think? Thoughts and Questions let me have them. Until next time happy reading.
