AN: Hello again! I'm so happy that all of you enjoyed the first chapter to this sequel – it has been fun writing it and coming up with ideas on the top of my head. Sometimes I wonder as I'm writing I hope they (you the readers) like what I'm doing with this because I just write whatever comes to mind and just prayed you will all like it and turns out you do lol. So I guess I'm doing a good job *pats myself on the back* lol.

Thanks to my beta reader Sunkisz for dealing with my terrible grammar and such she is just great!

Now on with the story! Enjoyed!

Chapter 02: Evil Twins

It was the twin's first night at home with just me and let me tell ya it wasn't a stroll through the park. Matty would cry first and then it would wake up Erika – visa versa. My house became full of screams and tears.

Eric took a week off of working at Fangtasia to help me with the twins but that week came and went. He was back at work and that left me alone with the evil twins. I did everything I could but they would still cry and cry – I ran out of ideas. Amelia even made a special tea that would help calm them down but that didn't work either.

Cindy was with Erin tonight doing homework over there since the noise of the babies didn't let her concentrate. It was Eric's first night back at the job and he had a very important meeting so that left Amelia and me to deal with them.

He was so lucky that he was able to escape this. They were fed, changed, burped, carried – lets just say I did all of it. Erika was my greatest challenge; she never stopped crying and this was because she was spoiled by Eric and only wanted him. Since Erika never stopped that meant Matty would joined in too.

"Erika Matty I did everything for you. What more do you want from me?" I was desperate and very tired – I haven't slept at all today. I had both of them on my bed looking down at their crying red faces and I began to cry too – from frustration.

I thought that maybe they were missing Eric like I did so I checked the time and he wouldn't be here for another hour or two. "This is so hard," I said in between sobs and now the three of us were crying.

My bedroom door opened and in came Cindy – Erin's mom must have dropped her off. She walked up to us and patted each of their blond heads. "Still crying huh?" she said to me and I nodded that they were still crying and I told her I did everything.

"Try singing to them. My mommy use to sing to me all the time when I couldn't sleep." Cindy gave me some advice and I was gonna use it – hell I will do anything at this point.

So I began to sing a lullaby my mom and Gran used to sing to me and Cindy joined in. By each verse of the song they started to quiet down and looked at us singing.

"Cindy, its working," I said happily and never was going to let Cindy out of my sight – not until they start walking or college. Amelia walked in and has a looked of relief. "Finally they stop crying I thought I had to rip my ears off." She said and sits next to me on the bed.

"But who could stay mad at these cute faces - not me." She pinched each of their cheeks – she was going to be one of those annoying aunts you ran away from in family reunions.

Mattie began to drool a bit and it was going down his chin so I asked Cindy to pass me a napkin but she cleaned it herself. "There all clean my cute baby brother," she said and gave his chubby cheek a kiss.

Cindy then picked up her head in an alerting matter and before the doorbell even rang she said it's Uncle Bill at the door. Amelia and Cindy went down to let him in while I put the twins in their bassinet.

Eric and I kept two white bassinets in our room so Erika and Mattie will be closer to us – once they reach their first month we would put them in the room that their daddy built just for them.

Bill knocked on the door as I placed Erika in her bassinet and I told him he can come right in. When I turned around the look on his face meant he had bad news – so I thought it was best if I sat down for this one.

"Sookie darling I hate being the one to bring you bad news but I just got off the phone with Pam and she informs me that Eric was…called away tonight." Bill looked everywhere else but me. I guess he couldn't bare to see the pain in my eyes.

"What? Eric just had an important meeting tonight and he told me he will be home in an hour. Where did he go?" How could he just leave like that without telling me anything? Was he in trouble – no couldn't be I would feel him through the bond.

"His important meeting was with Felipe and Victor and the King asked him to return to Nevada with him for a few days."

"Bill, what if Eric is walking into a trap? Felipe wants me for himself. Did he go alone? Did Pam or Chris go with him? Well?" I felt my heart was ripping in two and it was becoming harder to breathe.

"He went alone Sookie. Chris, Pam and myself demanded to go with him to have his back but you know Eric – he said we are to stay here and protect you and the children." I knew I did the right thing and sat through this because if I didn't I'm pretty sure I would have fallen to the ground crying.

Bill came to me and wrapped his arms around me as I cried. "It's alright darling. From what Eric had told me that your Great-grand father already threaten Felipe that if any harm where to come to you and your family – that's including Eric that he will have to answer to him and a war will break out." Wow my great-grand father agreed to even protect Eric – now that was amazing and I was grateful for that.

"I don't want a war to break out that will mean death and I don't want to be responsible for more deaths." My head rested on his shoulder as he combed through my blond locks in a soothing matter.

"Me either darling – just know this that I will protect you until my final death – you and the children." He then held my hands in his as he looked into my eyes, "No matter if you are pledge to Eric and had his children – I will always love you and it will be an honor to die for you."

I'm felt heartbroken for Bill; he would always love me and I would never return those feelings to him – yes I did love him he was my first and everything but not the same way that I love Eric. Before I got to say anything to Bill my phone began to ring – I saw it was Eric, leave it to Eric to have perfect timing whenever I'm around Bill.

I got up from the bed and picked up the call and started giving him an ear full. "I can't believe you will do a thing like this after leaving me for a year! Why didn't you come here and tell me yourself that you were leaving? Did you leave yet? What mission do they want you to do? Are you okay, did they hurt you? You said you will be home in an hour or two. You big lying A-hole!" Let's say that the hormones didn't go away just yet.

"Sookie, one question at a time. I don't have much time to explain myself but I am sorry. I'm on my way to the airport right now with them." I then heard Eric excuse himself and he spoke again but this time in a hushed tone.

"Lover do not come looking for me. Felipe is up to something and I don't want you to put your life in danger. Think of Cindy, Mattias and Erika they need you more than I do. Think of them before doing anything rash. I must go." All I heard was the dial tone at the other end.

"Bill he's in trouble, I can tell – just the way he sounded on the phone just now wasn't his usual Eric-self." I was shaking so much that my phone fell to the floor.

Bill grabbed me and placed me on the bed again. "Sookie, Eric can handle himself – he's made it this far. If you continue to be like this you will make Mattias and Erika edgy as well – they are connected to you. They will feel what you are feeling. You must be strong for them." What Bill said made perfect sense – I didn't want Erika and Matty to feel what I was feeling.

"You're right Bill, thanks," I said to him and glanced over at my children; they were sound asleep. They had no clue that their father was in danger – oh to be them.

EPOV – Night of His Final Day of Vacation

I decided to take the first week off of the twins being home to help Sookie out – and I'm glad I did they are quite the handful. It seemed Sookie never got to rest the twins had weird hours – they woke up any part of the day. I told Sookie I would take the night shift that way she can rest but with two crying babies no one could sleep.

The one that caused the most trouble was Erika she demanded our attention and expected to always be held mostly by me. Once we put her down in the bassinet she would cry for bloody murder and that would wake up Mattias.

Sookie and I finally got the twins to fall asleep. I placed Erika gently in her bassinet and had my hand over her stomach so she could still feel me close – I stayed this way for about five minutes until I knew she was in deep sleep. I looked over at Sookie and she was beyond exhausted – she could barely keep her eyes opened.

While Sookie was getting ready for bed my phone began to ring and I saw that it was Pam – maybe something happened at the bar.

"Master, Felipe De Castro and Victor are here and they wish to see you. I told them you're on vacation and will be back tomorrow – they were not too happy when I told them that news," she said and also told me that right now they were just sitting enjoying the bar and drinking some True Bloods.

"Thanks Pam and be careful around Felipe and Victor. I do not trust them one bit," I told her and hung up the phone. I began to pace back and forth trying to figure out why they were here.

What the hell were they doing here? I need to find a way to get rid of Felipe and Victor and be my own vampire – maybe if I become King I won't have to worry about anything any more and those who work for me will have no choice but to protect my family.

I knew whatever the King and Victor threw at me I would have protection from Sookie's great-grandfather – he said so himself one night at my office before the twins were born.

A Week Before the Twins Were Born…

Argh all these damn paper work to sign – so much to do before the twins are born, I thought to myself as I signed paper after paper. As I was signing one of the many of paper works a bright light shines through my office – similar to the bright light that appeared when Sookie and I were held captive by Jacob.

The light went away and I saw it was Sookie's great-grandfather Niall, I wondered why he came to see me I wasn't his favorite person in the world. Niall asked if he could have a seat and I motion with my hand he may. Once he sat he went right to business. "Vampire I come here today to offer you my protection," he said to me.

Now I was very confused by this Fairy Prince. "Protection? Protection for what?" I asked. Why would I, a 1,000 year old vampire need protection? "Protection from your king. Felipe De Castro can't be trusted and he wants you out of the picture to take my great-grand daughter away," he replied. "Yes I am aware of this which is why I pledged her to me."

"That won't stop him – if you are dead she is set free and any one can have her." I was getting angry hearing this, that anyone can take my lover and make her do things that she doesn't want to do. Fucking Felipe just won't give up.

"She loves you and I can sense you love her in return – you have after all always protected her and put her above all others. You're a good man, vampire. This is why I offer my protection to you – I don't want to see Sookie in pain again even more so now that there will be children involved. You need to be there for them – you have a family now and you must protect them."

I was taken back by everything he told me – he basically gave me his blessings for being with his great-granddaughter. "Thank you Niall and yes I will accept your offer to protect me. I appreciate it." Niall nodded his head and poof he was gone.

Now Back ToEPOV – Night of His Final Day of Vacation

Hearing the bathroom door open broke my train of thought and out came Sookie in her light blue cotton nightgown and ready for bed – I wished she was ready for something else besides bed.

She went right under the covers and I followed suit. I took her into my arms and rested my chin in the crook of her neck and I wished that I didn't have to return to work and stay in bed with her forever.

"Eric, do you have to go back to work? Can't you just work from home?" I felt from the bond that she was really hoping that I too can stay with her forever like this and never leave her side.

"Yes lover I do have to return work and it be hard for me to work at home," I explained to her because it's true I can't have important meetings and handle paper work at home especially more so now that the twins are here. I don't want them to be exposed to any other super naturals out there.

She rolled over and looked at me with those beautiful eyes of hers. "But I don't know if I could handle Mattie and Erika on my own – you see how they are. Can you just stay another week?" she asked with hopeful eyes.

I pushed back a strand of her blond locks behind her ear. "Sookie I can't you know that. It was a miracle that I was able to take off this week and don't worry you can handle them alone you are after all their mother." I tried to give her some confidence in handling the twins – she was nervous and scared of being a mother, which was natural; every new mom feels this way.

"It's just so hard Eric. I know people said it isn't easy but boy did they speak the truth. You think it will ever get easier?" she said and pushed back one of my blond locks back.

She moved in closer to me, tracing my chest with her index finger in a playful matter. "You think you can take Erika with you? She's just a handful like her daddy I don't know if I can handle a little you on my own. And it seems she only likes for you to hold her." This made me laugh. She really wanted me to take Erika to Fangtasia – Sookie really has lost it.

"Lover, Erika may prefer me but you are her mother and you two had formed a bond that I will never have with either of them. You carried them for seven months and she doesn't hate you. You need to handle them on your own Sookie." She punched my chest and there was a pout on her face. "I hate you," she whined like a little girl and turned away from me.

I guess I won't be getting lucky tonight so I turned on my side but she called out to me. "Eric when will you be home tomorrow?" I wasn't sure if I would be coming home at all but I couldn't tell her that – she was stressed as it is and I didn't want to add more to it.

"Maybe by eleven or midnight depends how long I have to be there. Plus liked Pam said that the vermin miss me so I have to entertain them for a little while." She quickly turned around and gave me a cold glare. "What kind of entertainment hmm? If it's what I think it is then don't come home at all!" She was on a roll tonight – lack of sleep has her all fired up and feisty tonight.

I brought her closer in my arms and she tried pushing me away because she was upset with me but I wasn't having it. I tickled her sides which made her laugh softly – she didn't want to laugh too loud and wake up the twins.

I was inches from her pouty lips and wanted to kiss them so badly – it has been too long since we made love. "Now lover why on earth will I even consider a fangbanger when I have a beauty like yourself at home waiting for me." My right hand began to trail up and down her bare legs until they stopped at the warm spot between them. "I only want you Sookie."

Our lips were seconds from reaching each other then Erika decided to wake up at that very moment. Sookie and I let out an annoyed groan and she quickly jumped out of bed and went to Erika before she woke up Mattias.

Sookie placed Erika between us on the bed and gave her a pacifier. Erika looked up at the both of us and soon her eyes began to closed. "You see she doesn't even want us to kiss, cuddle or well you know. She wants you for herself; I can't believe I have to compete with my own daughter," Sookie said and now Erika was fully asleep. She had a little smug look on her face since she got her way.

Only a week old and she was so sneaky, that's my girl. Sookie and I said that Erika was just like me and Mattias was like Sookie. Sookie laughed as she saw the little smug look on Erika's face. "She is so your daughter, god help the man she ends up with," Sookie said and made herself comfy again on the bed ready for sleep.

"Man? No she is not dating until she is 30 or never. If she is anything like me then she will never date. She will be home school and locked away in her room until I decide it's ready for her to date," I ranted. No way was I going to let my little girl date and become a female version of me – I was quite the dog back in my day but once I met Sookie all I could see was her face and hear her laugh and I couldn't be with another until I had her.

"Eric shut up and go to sleep." Was last thing Sookie said before she too drifted off to dream land. I watched my two girls sleeping soundly away and I wasn't even tired it was only one in the morning – vampires are still going bump at the night.

Since I wasn't tired I decided to check some things around the house to make sure everyone was okay: Mattias was sound asleep in his bassinet, Cindy was sleeping too and clutching her favorite doll and even the witch was knocked out with the werewolf in her room.

That left me really alone in the house. Usually Sookie and I will make love until the sun rises but she's been so tired we haven't had any time for that – which was killing me slowly each day not being able to touch her, and feel her warm hot body.

So like these past few nights I have been just sitting in the living room and watching TV. I felt my phone vibrate and saw it was a text from Victor I let out a frustrated sighed, what do they want now.

Northman,

The King is not pleased that you took time off. We shall meet tomorrow at your bar at 10PM – no later to discuss some business matters. Be there or we will come to you and I'm sure you wouldn't want that.

Just from reading his text I could see that stupid smirk on his dumb face and I wanted to punch the hell out of him. I sighed out loud, great now I have to deal with a pissed off King.

AN: Uh oh what has happened to Eric? Is he okay? Who will save him if there is any trouble in Nevada? How will Sookie handle Erika without Eric? Will Eric become King and Sookie as his Queen? Find out in chapter three lol.

So sad the season finale of True Blood is this Sunday! What am I gonna do until next summer?! Oh the withdraws I will have lol.

Please leave me a review.
