Chapter 7
Miss Stackhouse, you can come in.
I stood and followed her into doctor's Sophie office.
- Good morning Miss Stackhouse. How are you feeling today?
- Fine.
- Great. Please have a seat. You too Mr. Stackhouse.
We sat and so did Dr. Sophie.
- So, Ms. Stack…
- Sookie, please – I asked for the third time
- Okay. So, Sookie, how have you past the last month?
- Very well. Better than the month before because I didn't feel sick. But I woke up many time during the night.
- It is normal during this first phase. And tired have you been feeling tired?
- Well a little.
- But you have followed the diet I gave you?
- Yes ma'am.
- Very well. You know that it is important that you follow that diet so you will feel good and have the nutrients you need.
- I know.
- So what do you think about we go check your weight?
- Of course, doctor.
I stood and went to the scales.
- Well you have just gained 2 pounds, that's quite normal. And have you been taking the iron, the vitamins and the others pills I prescribed?
- Yes, I do.
- Is everything okay with your foot?
- Yesterday, I feel and hurt it.
- I will check it in a moment .What do you think about seeing our baby, hum?
I smiled and nodded.
I lain in the kind of bed.
- Lift your blouse, Sookie.
I did it and the doctor passed a gel in my very small bump. We started hearing the rhythmic sound that always brought me peace to my heart.
- Do you hear this, Mr. Stackhouse? It's or nephew/niece's heartbeat.
- It's so strange and fragile… - said Jason – Can you see if it is a girl or a boy?
- Well, let me see… No not yet. You baby is not collaborating, Sookie.
I laughed.
- It's a shame I wanted to start doing the baby preparations.
- Oh don't worry! You have a lot of time. And there is still the baby shower…
Jason and I giggled.
- You are totally right!
After I get cleaned from the gel, we sat back in the chairs in front of the doctor's desk.
- Well, Sookie, I would say your little one is much like a human being. He is growing a little bit faster but nothing especial.
Doctor Sophie Berry was a friend of Sam that was used to work with supernatural beings. The first time I came here, Dr. Sophie told me her boyfriend is a hybrid (vampire+werewolf).
- Now I will have to prescribe you another medicine because I'm quite sure your blood is different from the baby's for what I saw in your blood test.
- Whatever is necessary, doctor.
- It is very important that you rest, Sookie. After the blood lost you had in beginning of the pregnancy, I am afraid that it will affect yours and the baby's well-being and health.
- I will try to do fewer shifts.
- It's important.
I nodded and mentally thought of how I was going to tell Arlene I was pregnant and that the baby was Bill's. Okay, I could omit that part. Otherwise, I would have to explain how I was still pregnant if I had broken up with Bill one year and three months ago. May be she didn't have to know every detail.
- Now let me check your foot. Take off your shoes.
I did as she said. She examined my foot and then said:
- You spread your ankle, Sookie.
N
- Oh – I exclaimed.
- Well it is nothing serious but it will better if you don't effort the feet too much. I am going to call my colleague Marcus so he will do a more detailed exam. Don't move.
I nodded. Doctor Sophie left the room and I felt Jason's gaze over me.
" Did vampire Bill hurt Sookie? May be that's why she didn't tell him…"
I looked at Jason with a "of course not" look in my face.
" Fuck! I always forget about that… Stop reading my mind, Sook. Nunmnmnm sexy back. Yeah!..."
- Seriously, Jason? Justin Timberlake?
- At least you can't hear other things.
I showed him my tongue and we both laughed.
The next moment, Dr. Sophie appeared followed by a men in his forties. He had dark hair and a strange tone of orange-brown eyes.
- Good morning Mister and Miss Stackhouse. My name is Marcus Waterfield. I am here to exanimate you Miss.
- Thank you Mr. Waterfield.
The doctor asked me to go back to the stretcher. He checked my foot, asking me to make certain movements and see if they would hurt.
- Well, it is nothing serious but you can't obviously be standing 5 or 6 six hours. I think you should ask a few days off in your work. The best would be for you to make the minor efforts.
- Certainly.
- You won't need crutches or gesso, but I want to take some put ice twice a day and to apply cream when you feel pain.
I nodded and heard the other recommendation he made me.
- Well, it is everything, Sookie. I want to see you in a month, okay?
- Yes, doctor.
- Please, call me Sophie.
- Yes, Sophie.
- That's better. Follow every single recommendation, will you?
- That's for sure.
- I will make sure she will – promised Jason smiling at me.
xXxXxXxXxXx
After Jason drop me at home (and after he carry me to my bed), I decided to take a nap. I was just falling asleep when my phone starts ringing.
- Hello.
- Sookie! Where are you?
- Home, why?
- When what are you doing there? It's…
- Arlene, today is my day off. And I hurt my feet, so I am just resting. Did something serious happen?
- Sookie, today is THE SHOPPING DAY!
Oh… Yeah I forgot that…
- Can't I just cancel? You go with Holly and have fun.
- No way! You ARE coming too. We have to choose the outfits together like we always do. It New Year, Sookie! It's not just a not important day.
- I don't have an escape, do I?
- No. If you are hurt then I will pick you up in twenty minutes. Don't be late.
- I won't.
- Great!
XxXxXxXxXxX
- Arlene, let me just sit for a minute. All my body is hurting and I am sick.
- God Sookie! You have been complaining all the time. It almost looks like you're… It…
- What Arlene?
- Sookie, are you pregnant? – Arlene asked, almost screaming.
- Shhh… - was the only thing that occur me.
- Sorry. Are you or aren't you.
I sighed.
- Yes, I am – I mumbled .
- Oh My… Who's… Who is the dad? Is it that fancy friend of yours… Alcide?
- No! – I shouted and Holly appeared from the bathroom.
- What happened?
- Well, I just found what that this girl – she said pointing at me – is PREGNANT!
- Arlene, you are not supposed to go telling this to everyone! – I exclaimed
- Sorry…
I shocked my head.
- Congratulations! – grated Holly.
- Thanks.
- We were talking about who the father was… - tried Arlene.
- When the time comes, you will know who the father is.
- Okay. Okay. I am not insist 'cause I don't want you to turn to your pregnant irritated side.
Holly and I laughed.
- I was like that in the beginning of the pregnancy. Now I am in a better mood. I can start crying but I won't have an anger attack.
They giggled.
- Oh… From how many months are you?
- Almost four.
- Hum… Then it mean you got pregnant before you came back…
Something like that. If you mean before I came back from Mississippi that would be close to reality…
- Arlene, stop imaging things – yes I have been reading her mind and only you should see what combinations she has made – I have told ya you will know. But PLEASE don't tell anybody yet.
- I won't! – she promised.
That's what he will see…
XxXxXxXxX
I was sitting in my sofa, watching television, while talking with Alcide. He had come over to know how I was and to control Eric.
- So, Arlene found out.
- Yup, she did. And know I am screwed.
- Why…
- Arlene is worse than you can imagine. She can't keep her month shut up about anything!
- So you really have to tell Bill, before he finds out for someone else, which won't be me, that I can guaranty you.
I smiled and hugged him.
- Thanks, Alcide.
- Well, I hope that what you have to tell Bill has nothing to do with my stay – treated Eric who was standing next to a door.
- Good evening Eric. – said Alcide standing too.
- Goode evening. So…
- It has NOTHING to do with you! – I screamed.
Eric's look passed to my right feet, which was resting on the coffee table, and then to my eyes.
- What happened?
I opened my eyes wide open, closed, and opened my month many times.
- You must be kidding me! Have you forgotten about what happened last night? You punched me to the floor.
- It didn't happen like that.
I rolled my eyes.
-Whatever, I spread my ankle. Do you need anything else, or are you just checking?
- Sookie, you are a little too aggressive this evening… Has your conversation with Compton been that bad?
- N… You have nothing to do with that.
- Eric. Leave her alone. Go do something useful and that doesn't bother anyone.
Eric smiled at me and then went to the kitchen.
- Huuufff, I am suck of him, Cide!
- I know baby. But in a few days everything will be alright.
- I just wanted to know how long does "a few days" long?
- Well, my dearest Sookie, I will have to stay here while they are in the high season to finding me. Then I will leave the country or something like that. But since Compton hates me so much, I guess that season will last, at least three or four months?
- THREE OR FOUR MONTHS?
- Don't worry Sookie. We can do so many different things during that time.
Alcide started making dog noises.
- I do not want to do anything you! I just want to out of MY house!
Eric laughed and then went away from the living room.
- I want to kill him- said Alcide.
- Not the only one.
We continued watching a vampire and werewolf film that was passing on the tv and some minutes later, Alcide asked:
- Do you want me to spend the evening here?
- No it is not necessary. Thanks.
- Then, I guess I am coming home.
He went to the porch to say our good-byes and suddenly, Alcide picked me up from the floor and gave a round .
- CIDE, PUT ON THE FLOOR! – I shouted and he did.
When I put my left foot on the floor, I realized that Bill was standing in the end of the stairs with a confused and heart-broking look.
- Yeah Compton – greeted Alcide and Bill nodded
- Bi… - I started but then everything went black and I felt the floor disappear under my foot.
