Forever and a Day

Chapter 1: Secrets

Disclaimer: I do not own either the Sookie Stackhouse Novels/Southern Vampire Mysteries nor do I own any of the Highlander series. I wish I did but I don't, lol.

AN: This is my first fanfiction, well I did have one before but I had a lot of criticism from a reader and took it down after the first chapter. I had planed to re-put it up, but lost it when my computer crashed. I hope to finish this story and not let anyone put me down enough to discourage me enough to take this story down. I don't know how long this story is going to be, but I plan for it to be at least a few chapters. I had thought about making this a one-shot, but I keep getting ideas for the story, for once, lol. I hope you like this story!

Setting: This is set right after Eric has Sookie give the ceremonial dagger to him in front of Victor Madden. I don't remember if Victor left right after that, but in this story he did, and left Sookie and Eric in the office by themselves.

SPOV

**************************************************

He had me pledged to him in front of Victor Madden! I did not think he would be willing to go to this extreme to protect me. He is trying to keep the king and Victory from taking me against my will. I think I can really trust now. He seems to only have the best of intentions for me. How could I deserve him? I could spend forever with him.

"Eric, now that you are done with Victor, can we go somewhere we can talk in private?" I asked.

Eric looks at me wondering what I would want to talk about. I bet he is wondering if I am going to chew him out for doing this to me without talking to me first. Ha wouldn't he be in for a surprise when I am through with him.

"Where did you have in mind Lover?" he asks me, he does seem a little hesitant, and I can not blame him.

"I was thinking maybe your place or someplace you know that is more private than here if you do not feel comfortable showing me your home." I say quickly, I don't want him to feel obligated to show me where he lives. I understand how most vampires do not want others to know where they live. He has to protect his resting place to survive and Eric has survived for over 1,000 years. He must be very protective of his homes, no matter what he may think of me, his instinct would be to keep his home secret.

So I was very surprised when he said: "You are right, I have not gotten the chance to show you my home. And now that you are my wife, it is my fault you are not sure I want you to see it, in this I must apologies. I never meant for you to feel I would not welcome you into my home, our home if you would allow it?"

"Eric Northman, are you asking me to move in with you?" I exclaim. I was not expecting this. This just proves to me that I really can trust him, and I really should, if he was willing to share his secrets with me I am willing to share my biggest secret with him.

"Well Lover, if you would consent to come live with me, I would love to have you!" Eric said, and if he needed to breathe I think he would be holding his breath waiting for my answer.

I took pity on him and said, "That will be something we need to discuss while we are at your house. I have something I need to tell you first then you can see if you still want me to move in with you."

"What could you say that would make me change my mind, Lover? I have wanted you for a long time now. I cannot imagine anything that would change my mind." Eric said still confused.

"Just wait till we get to a more secure place to talk, please. I will tell you everything you want to know after that." I said.

"Okay Lover, if that is what you want. Let's take my car. And IF you want to go home tonight I will bring you back here to get your car." said Eric confidently.

"That sounds fine to me." I said as we walked out the back of Fangtasia and to his car. The ride to his house was surprisingly short. He did not live very far from his club. His house was a very big house. I had no idea he had that big of a house. I know he had quite a lot of money, for living 1,000 years, but I did not expect him to put that much into a house he most likely does not use often, other than to spend his days in.

"Wow, Eric, this place is huge. I did not know you had such a big place!" I said.

"Yes, Lover, I have a very big place because I wanted you to come live with me. I have not had this house long." He confessed.

Now I was getting suspicious, "How long have you had this house?" I ask him.

He sighed because I have caught him, "Since Rhodes my Lover. I have had it since we bonded, hoping you would concede to me and be willing to live with me when you allowed me back into your life."

"Oh Eric, I did not know you felt that way, I wish you would have told me. I still felt that you did not really want me for more than a bed partner at the time. I am sorry it has taken this long to let you back into my life again." I said a little sadly. If I had know that his feeling were real, I would have submitted a long time ago. I did not want to be just a bed partner to him.

He turns to me and takes my face into his hands, "Do not fell bad Lover. You are here now, and that is all that matters. Now come, let me show you my home, and then you can tell me what you want to tell me."

"Okay." I said as I follow him into the house. He shows me around his home. I fell in love with his house. It has things from all the different ages Eric has lived through. And he has them in such a way that they all go together. Finally we get to the living room and he sits me down.

"Alright Lover, what do you want to talk to me about?" Eric asks his curiosity getting the better of him.

"Eric, when you have been thinking of us, where you thinking of turning me?" I ask. "Did you want me forever not just for my human life span? Or did you just want me to be your bonded and stay with me until I died?"

Eric was surprised I asked him this, "My Lover, I would love for you to be with me forever and a day if I could. But I know that you do not want to be turned into a vampire. I would never wish to force you to do that even though it would sadden me when you die. I would learn to live with that pain and sorrow when the time comes. Why Lover, have you changed your mind about being turned?" he ask hopefully.

"No, Eric, I do not ever want to be turned. What I want to say to you, Eric, is you do not have to turn me. I will be with you forever as long as you want me." I said while looking deep into his eyes.

"What do you mean my Lover? How can you promise me that if you do not want me to turn you? I do not understand." Now he was even more confused.

I take a deep breath, look deep into his eyes again and say, "Because Eric, I am Immortal!"

AN: LOL, sorry cliff hanger. I know just when it was getting good. Well, I have to do some research on the Highlander timeline and try to make sure I have dates correct for what I plan with this story. I hope you like my story.

I have been inspired to right it because I am currently watching all my seasons of Highlander. I am only to the 2nd season, but I am getting there slowly. I think this story should fit into the time somewhere in the 5th season of Highlander, before the end, because I don't want to touch the part where Duncan has to fight that great evil and when Richie dies. I just get to dark after that. I hope you enjoyed my story so far. I am sorry to say I most likely will not be able to get the next chapter up until I get to at least the end of season 5. And I may try and get a hold of the last to Sookie books, the only ones I don't own, before that. I know I will not have the story out until a few weeks from now. I have a paper due I think next week and I will need to do research for that too. So please be patient with me. I can't wait till True Blood season finally tonight! Hope you all enjoy it!

Love you all for reading my fic,
