A/N: So we are back for round two. You guys asked for it and here it is. If you are a new reader welcome, but you are going to want to read my story She first otherwise this will make little sense to you. This one you get to learn more about Sookie and her family and if Eric and she can make it back to each other; though I think it will be mostly in Eric's POV, I might have other ones when they are needed. Hope you guys like it as much as you did She.

Disclaimer: I own none of it Charlaine Harris does and Allen Ball

Enjoy….

Chapter 1

"So I take from my dotter floating around like she's walking on air you plan to stay for a while." The King asked

"If your majesty will permit me to, I would very much like to stay. I have an apartment in town that I can go to if you want me out of the palace, but she and I have much to discuss so I wish to stay near." I answered.

The Ball was two nights ago and I had not seen Sookie since. I was told that I must first meet with Stellan before I would be allowed. So here I sat in his study with him. I felt like a man asking a father for permission to court his daughter. In a way I guess I was.

"You understand that this is her choice? I know of your relationship quite well and I know she made mistakes also, but I will always side with her." His eyes narrowed and I nodded. "You must rebuild your cracked foundation and that cannot be done on a bed of furs. Do you understand?You must also understand she has had a very good life here and you cannot expect her to drop everything for you as you did not do that for her. So what she wants to continue doing she can and what she decides to stop and give to you she can also. I will not have her stop living as she has because of guilt she might feel by hurting you." I nodded once again "Also, we have kept her in a kind of Scandinavian bubble here. This has been primarily for her protection. None of us, that includes my regents and Lords in Denmark and Norway, have any real ties to the states like other countries do so, word as you know, does not spread here. We would all go to war for her if it was required, but she would not like it. She is still soft-hearted and does not take well to people dying because of her. I prefer not to be the one to leave a dark mark on her heart. That is not to say she is ignorant of our world." He narrowed his eyes at me again "At least any more, she has attended court and lived with me here at the palace to know that sometimes things need to be done that her human self would not approve of, but as a vampire she accepts what must be done."

"I understand what you our saying your Majesty. I have no ties in the states either. I sold all my business interest 50 years ago and held no other position than consort to the Queen in Oklahoma. I do have a few spies still watching over the Stackhouses and one that watches over her nephew Hunter now. I do not know if you are aware that he is Bill Compton's child and goes by the name Remy Comton." His eyes grew big with shock at the news. He gestured for me to continue obviously wanting more information on this. "Compton was awarded Victor Maddens spot as Regent about five years after we killed him. I was unaware of the boy's talents and therefore did not watch over him. By the time I knew of him, he was living with Compton and was turned at the age of 21. To my understanding Compton had promised the boy that his Aunt would be joining them if he agreed to be turned. I am assuming Sookie kept her gift and so I would guess the boy did too. Right before her death I know that Hunter began continuously questioning his maker about this. Compton took a vacation soon after he returned Sookie's ashes were delivered. I met the boy at her funeral. He was very distraught about her passing. His maker did not allow him to attend the service. I would guess that was in fear of Jason seeing or meeting him. He was allowed to say his peace after all was gone. I just happen to be there at the time. Compton made sure the boy did not talk too much, but having seen him as a child I remembered the features he had. I knew who he was almost immediately. That was the last that I had seen of him. I had my court spy dig up as much as I could about him after that and to keep an eye on him. My spies say he travels frequently between Louisiana and Nevada. I can only guess he is used by the King. He is well protected from what I have been told"

Stellan rose from his chair and began pacing the room. "She will not take this well. Like I said we don't have many ties to the states so when we did search for the boy many years ago to ease her mind we found different information. Our contacts reported that the boy and his father lived and ultimately died in New Orleans. A car accident I believe. That idiot Compton was the reason we faked her death. I should have asked him more when he was here." He stopped briefly then began pacing again. Within a few seconds the twins appeared in the room.

I was told to explain everything I knew to them. They did not look happy about this news.

"You two spoke with him the most while he was here. Did he speak of any of this?" the king requested from his children

"He did joke that he did not know how you handled making us so close together. He said that his child was a handful and he was thankful for the short break from him." Johan stated

"I knew we should have just staked him and been done with it" Walter added "Does Baby know of this yet?" I shook my head no.

"We should not tell her until we have a plan." Johan said

"If I am to get back in her good graces I cannot keep this from her. She would never forgive me." I barked at him. I knew he was right, but if I kept it from her I would be repeating the same mistakes that had driven us apart in the first place and I refused to do that.

"He is right and we cannot order him not to tell her. It would just bring her ire onto us. The last time that happen she left court for almost 2 years." I raised an eyebrow to this and he explained when he requested Freyda release me from my contract.I was never aware such a request was made. He said she went to Norway and refused to talk to him. He truly was a caring maker; most would not allow such behavior. He explained that at this point all his children other than Sookie were released and could come and go as they pleased and though she was not released, she was still free to travel his countries; usually going with him or one of her siblings. "We have to tell her and it would be best if she heard it with us all present. We can include her in the plan on how to get him back. It is her family we owe her that. We all know how important they are to her. Johan go fetch your sister." He instructed. Johan left with a bow.

Once again I raised an eyebrow to him, surprised he did not just call her to him. "The maker call hurts her head and commands if not taken willingly by her also cause her pain. That is why I always request to do the commands. I do not like causing my children unnecessary pain." He explained and sat behind is desk.

Walter almost looked worried about what was going to happen and to be honest, so was I. This was not the way I wanted to start off our new beginning.

A/N: So what did you think? Let me know what you think. I have to admit this story was a very people driven story the more love you showed me the more I wanted to get this to you.
