Chapter 14

SPOV

- Come on, Sook… Tell me who the baby's father is! – Arlene asked for the 100th time.

- Arlene! I already promised you that tomorrow you will know.

- Okay, okay… I give up! Are you bringing him to the party tomorrow?

- That's the idea, Arlene. So please stop asking me the same thing repeatedly!

Arlene put her hands in the air and looked at me innocently, heading to a table.

- Sorry about that! You know how she is! Looks like Mickey is getting a friend of his size to play! – said Terry from the kitchen sending me a smile. I giggled and nodded.

- Looks so! – I said.

Since I got to Merlotte's that I have been bombarded with questions and some nasty thoughts! Most people did not know that I was pregnant but they found out today since my baby bump was already noticeable.

Arlene has been asking the same question since I came to Merlotte's and Lafayette wasn't actually helping! Then, there was Portia who hadn't stop thinking about ways to "tell the news" to Bill so that he would give up me. Poor girl, not only Bill knows about it, but he also is the father.

Most people were meaner, thinking that I was a slut and that my Gran would be ashamed of me. I ended up going to the bathroom to cry twice because of it but never in front of those people. I really was trying to block people's thoughts but Merlotte was full and that did not make things easier.

At lunch time, Luna came to see Sam and left me taking care of Emma. She was so sweet and made laugh a lot. She made all kind of question but I least didn't ask me how I got pregnant. I would not know how to answer it and that certainly was not my job to answer! She wanted to feel the baby kicking but was disappointed to know that he didn't kick just yet, but that sadness soon turned to excitement when I promised that she would be the first person to feel it. She also made a drawing and suggested some names to my baby. Barbie, Kelly, Emily, Ken, Jacob and David, were some of the names that she suggested to my baby.

Later, after Luna and Emma were gone, we got the visit of Charlie and David who had arrived at town the day before.

She brought us souvenirs and was very happy about my pregnancy. She was staying for one mouth and already wanted to plan my "Baby shower" that lead to some screams and Arlene grabbing a notebook and pointing ideas. They had already ripped three sheets! Sam came to greet her and they stayed talking for a while.

The rest of my shift was exhausting, looking as if instead of a few minutes it had been hours.

- Sookie! – Sam called – You can go home, your shift is over.

- Thanks, Sam! I am just going to grab my purse.

I went to Sam's office, grabbed my purse and my coat since it was raining a lot.

I hugged Arlene and Charlie and said good-bye to my other friends before I came outside, just to realize that I had not came in my car.

- Crap…

- Miss Stackhouse, I am here to take you home. Mr. Compton iss taking care of some business but he is sorry that he cannot come.

- God, you scared me. Thank you, Simon.

- Follow me please.

I followed him to the car and he opened me the door.

The car was less exuberant then the one in which he brought me to work this morning and that made more than happy, since that fact lead to some talking on me.

After a while driving in silence, just like this morning, Simon said:

- I haven't yet given my congratulations. I heard you were pregnant, Miss Stackhouse.

- Well, thanks Simon. Please, call me Sookie. Miss Stackhouse is way to formal.

- Alright, Sookie it is then.

I smiled and I leaned back on the bench.

- Simon, do you have any children?

- I do, Mis… Sookie. I have a little girl named Elizabeth. She is two.

- Is it very difficult?

- What?

- Raising a child?

- Well, it is not the easiest thing in this world, I admit. Children require a lot of attention and love but don't worry, Sookie, I am sure you will be a good mother and I am also sure Mr. Compton will help you with everything. You have a point on your advantage; Mr. Compton has already raised two kids.

I smiled and nodded:

- Well, you are right he does have experience. I am just nervous I guess it is normal.

- It certainly is. When my wife was pregnant of Lizzie, we were both nervous. I guess I was more than her. But as soon as you have your baby in yours arms, that jitters will the disappear and you will know exactly what to do.

- Thanks, Simon.

We continued talking until we got to Bill's. He told me about when her wife was pregnant and about his daughter Lizzie, as he likes to call her. She was diabetic and made her life a bit difficult but Simon and his wife tried to give a life as normal as possible. We talked about Bill too and he told me that he had never seen Bill so happy since he worked for him. Simon said that I was perfect for Bill and that he wished the best for us both.

When we arrived at Bill's, I only saw one bodyguard and found it strange since all the times I was there was always at least four. Actually, I could almost swear I saw one of them at Merlotte's while I was working. I needed to ask Bill what was going on. Fistly, we was strange this morning. Okay that strangeness lead to really pleasure things.. But he was strange and he sent Simon to pick me and get me to work which meant something was going on.

Simon opened the door for me and said:

- Mr. Compton asked you to wait in the living room.

- Thanks, Simon.

I wanted to take a shower and change my clothes but for what I understood this morning, it was needed a password to enter the room. Besides, if Bill had asked that I wanted in the living room we probably wouldn't take long.

I went to the living room and looked around. This morning I had done a tour with Bill by the house but I had not paid attention to the details. Bill's renewed house was so… alike his old one but a bit… no a lot different at the same time. I mean, the structured looks the same but the fortune and paints are very different. His living room was an example of that. It had a fireplace in the same place bringing so many memories… The couches were soft and comfortable, there were some beautiful painting but in the end it was not Bill at all… That's probably because he is a Vampire King.

I sat on the sofa, closing my eyes and enjoying the silence. A few minutes later, I decided to go to the kitchen and prepare something to eat. I opened the cupboards and as I noticed that morning, there is plenty food. I prepare some macaroni and cheese, and sat on the table, eating. When I finished, I washed the dishes.

When I was coming back to the living room, I heard voices and saw Bill leaving the office followed by a tall and elegant woman. She was wearing a long black dress. Her hair was dark and curly and she was… beautiful I guess. Bill smiled… yeah he smiled and then looked at me.

- Sookie. Come here - The woman looked at me as I approached them. Bill put a hand around my waist protectively and kissed me softly. - How was your day?

- Fine.

- Sookie this is Salome Agrippa. Salome this is Sookie…

- Your human – added Salome and Bill nodded. – It's nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you too.

- Well, Bill, I am leaving now. Thank you for receiving me. I had a very pleasant time.

- I am the one thanking you. I will walk to the door.

Bill released my waist and followed Salome to the door. They exchanged a few more words before Bill closed the door and turned his attention to me.

- How are you, Sookie? – he asked with a little smile in his face extending his arms in my direction.

- Who's that woman? - I asked crossing my arms in my chest. Bill's smile disappeared and he sighed.

- Sookie… Let's go upstairs, okay?

I nodded and followed him upstairs. When we were in front of "our room" as Bill called it, Bill typed the code and which was not my surprise when I found out that the code was in fact the date of the day we met. Bill shocked his head at my surprise and opened the door. He grabbed my hand and pushed me inside the room, closing the door behind him. The room was exactly as we left him that morning.

I sat on the edge of the bed and Bill took off his smoking.

- Sookie, please… I am not cheating on you.

- Are you sure Bill… I mean Salome did mention that she had a very pleasant time.

- Sookie, Salome is a member of the AVL. To be more precised she is more important than me or than Nan Flangan. She came here to give a very important information, it was noting romantic or sexual. It was work, simply work. Don't forget that now I am the King of Louisiana, I have a lot of work and I receive a lot of people in here. And… Damn, Sookie I love you. Not her or anybody else. I love YOU. – Bill sounded so desperate and he looking in to my eyes with such a strong looks that it was impossible to not believe in him – Please, Sookie, believe in me. I can't lose you…

- Then, why don't you show me just how much you love me…

I was in Bill's arms in one second. He kissed me deeply and I wrapped my legs around his waist and pulled him closer to me making me feel how arousal he was. Bill's mouth teased in all possible ways my neck and he gave kisses in the place. His fangs clicked into place and he landed me in the bed. He then raised my shirt and after lose my bra, sucked my breasts making me moan. I stroked his chest under his shirt, running my hands through his soft chest hair. He turned his attention to my mouth again, kissing me passionately and urgently.

I took my hand to his hair and pulled the wires, surrendering myself to the pleasure. Bill let go of my mouth and walked away from me a little enough to look mischievously at me in the eyes and take my shorts. When he was about to kiss me again, I put a hand on his chest and whispered in her ear as I unbuttoned his shirt:

- You have far too many clothes on, Mr. Compton

Bill shook his head and leaned down to kiss me again. Now I started caressing his back, free from the fabric of the shirt, making my movements easier. Bill put a hand between us and took off my panties. He pushed back our lips again, kissing my neck. Then we turned to sensitive pregnant breasts, giving special attention to each one of them, licking one nipple and then the other. My hand went again back to his hair squeezing it between my fingers, feeling the smoothness of the wires. Bill had now turned his attention to my belly, kissing every inch of the baby bump and landing there his ear to hear the heartbeat of our child. He looked up at me sending a sweet look before returning to kiss every inch of my skin. Continued down my body, giving small and soft kisses on my thighs and legs.

Bill opened my legs and licked my thigh over the femoral artery, then kisses spreading through the area, before bringing his mouth to my sensitive spot.

My hand gripped his hair tighter holding his mouth where I needed it.

Bill tortured me, licking every inch of the area that was craving for him until I came in his mouth. He licked his lips and sent me a satisfied look. I was seeing stars and felt my body like jelly. Bill got rid of the rest of his clothes. He kissed me again and entered me making us both moan each other's names. He continuing thrusting inside me, entering in and out making me throw my head back and roll my eyes in pleasure. Bill was moving slowly but soon he turned into a faster pace, continuing his moves in a perfect rhythm.

We were both closed I could tell, I was already feeling him pulsing inside me and I was sure he was feeling the same about me because he opened his eyes. He looked at each other and I offered my neck. Bill was reluctant about it but he must I have seen the look in my face because he kissed my neck and then bit it, making me come. I could hear Bill moaning and I knew he had came too. He dropped my neck, licking the blood that was flowing out of it. I saw him bit his finger and pass it through my wound.

- I am sorry… I could resist…

I shook my head and sat on his lap.

- Bill there is nothing to apologize; I offered you my blood so you could take it.

- Yes but…

- But nothing…

- I promised I wouldn't drink from you again.

- And I made you break that promise.

- Alright… Are you now convinced?

- About what?

- About just how much I love you?

I smiled and whispered in his ear:

- Well, I guess you showed a bit of your love. We we'll have to repeat it for me to be sure.

- I have no objections. – he said already kissing me again.

- No, no, no… - I said pushing him back – First we need to talk.

- Do we need?

- We do. But, first, we need to put some clothes on. – I said grabbing his boxers and handing them to him. I dressed his shirt and saw a small smile in his lips. – What is it? – I asked sitting in front of him. He shook his hair and pulled me to his arms, smelling my neck and kissing the top of my hair.

- I had forgotten just how much I love to see you in my shirts. – I giggled and hugged him pulling him closer to me before I asked:

- Bill what's going on? Why were so strange this morning? Why did you put a bodyguard following me?

- How did you discover that?

- Well, I was sure that I had seen him today but now you confirmed it. So Bill tell me what's going on!

- Sookie, I can't. I can only tell you will stay with me for a while, that Simon will take to work every day and that Mason will go with you everywhere when I am not with you.

- What? Are you crazy? You can't control my life like that. I am not your possession! And if you don't tell what's going on, I swear, do you hear me, I swear William Thomas Compton that I will leave your house today! – I pushed him away and sat with clenched. fists

- And I will go get you. Sookie, don't you understand that I am protecting you?

- God, Bill! You are telling me what going on! Or I will go to the Fae's Land and I don't care how many years I will be gone, but you certainly will regret!

- Sookie, there is no need to be so dramatic. I am protecting, making sure no warm will come to you or to our child. Do you wish something bad happening to you or to him? – Bill said serious pointing at my baby bump.

- Of course I don't. I have been protecting our son from the very first moment I knew I was pregnant! I don't wish any warm to him but I have the right to know what's going on when I am also evolved, don't you think that's fair?

- I don't want to worry you!

- Well, Bill you are failing! The fact that you don't want to tell me what's going only makes my preoccupation bigger! And you are making me angry and that is not good for our baby, so please Bill tell me what's going on!

- God, Sookie! Why are you so stubborn? I won't tell what's going on period. And you won't be leaving this house unless you are going to work.

- What? You can arrest me in this house as if I was some kind of criminal! – I shouted already crying – Bill just because we are together that doesn't give you the right to make decision or give me orders!

Bill sighed. He hugged me, or tried because I didn't make his job easy and whispered on my ear:

- You are correct, I don't have that right. I am sorry, please don't cry. It breaks my heart.

He released me and then wiped the tears of my face.

- Tell me what's going on…

- I can only tell you that it is about Russell Edgington. And I promise you that you both will be fine.

- Russell? Bill, you…

- I can't tell anything else. – He sighed again and hugged me again – You can leave whenever you want but please take Mason with you, for me…

It was my turn to sigh.

- Alright Bill Compton!

- Thank you, Sookie!

- Tomorrow you are coming with me to a party!

- I am?

- You are! It's Merlotte's New Year Party.

- Okay, sweetheart, I will go with you.

- Thanks Bill. Let's take a bath.

Bill nodded and picked me in his arms.

- Bill!
