I don’t think she’s pregnant…but you do make good points…. When I read the last book I also puzzled over the comment that Eric lives on in Sookie… Weird…
Also, in the fist chapter of book 10, Sookie complains that she feels too many of Eric’ emotions that the bond is getting stronger…
CH also mentioned a few times that Sookie will not get pregnant from a vampire…I think it’s her way of distinguishing her series from Twilight, where vamps and humans have babies. Or maybe she’s just misdirecting all of us on purpose.
CH also signed a contract with the publisher to write at least 3 more books. Introducing a baby so soon doesn’t sound like a very good idea.
I think the statement that “Eric lives on in Sookie” is because Eric gave Sookie so much of his blood up to this point. There is a lot of him in her, especially with the strong blood bond these two have. That statement was made just after Clancy died giving Bill his blood. Clancy is living on in Bill because his blood is in Bill. That’s why the emotions are so strong. I don’t know.
This may dound far fetched but could Sookie be pregnant? In thelast book Sookie complains of being dizzy twice for no real apparent reason. The after the Fairy War Pam comments that Eric lives on in Sooke. What does she mean because Sooke has had blood from both Bill and Eric and it was never worth mentioning. We need to remember that Sookie is part fairy. Could a baby, being part vampire, human and fairy be on the way? And what about Sookie’s dream where she sees Eric walking in the sunlight? If modern science can make a substance that has the attributes of blood, then why not find someway to allow vampires to walk during the day? Or maybe the witches come up with a way for vamps to be daywalkers.
I think CH has said in a couple of interviews that Sookie would not get pregnant in her series, but who knows.
Hey Joyce and jaxx!!
Wouldn’t it be crazy if Claudine somehow transferred her pregnancy to Sookie before she went to the Summerland!!! After all Sookie could probably carry a fey baby…. I know it’s extremely far fetched but just an idea swimming around in that thing I call my mind (even though this TRUE BLOOD Hiatus is making me wonder if my mind is still intact)… LOL!!
In the CH world, anything is possible. Even those outerspace vampires. LOL.
