A/N: Thanks so much for reading! Enjoy!

Thanks you Sweet Sookie for looking over this! You are awesome!

Not my characters. They belong to HBO or Charlaine Harris. But I just love S and E together so much.

"Eric! This is crazy! I told you a rental!" I said, when my thoughts finally came back to me.

Sitting in my driveway was a brand new Corvette with a big red ribbon on top.

"This is my gift to you for carrying my child and making me the happiest man in the world. It is yellow, your favorite!" He looked so excited to have done this for me. "It's even specially made with a backseat for my son. I ordered it yesterday when I went to Fangtasia while you were sleeping."

"Well, I suppose if that is the purpose of this crazy gift, but Eric, please don't buy me anything else." I felt slightly uncomfortable, but realized that I now had a reliable car for me and my son.

"Do you not like it? I thought you would. We match now. I even got a vanity plate that says 'zapper'." He looked thoroughly disappointed and I felt terrible for not being more gracious. He thought he was doing a really nice thing for me.

"Oh! Eric, of course I like it! It's just I don't want you to feel like you have to buy me things. I can take care of myself, I have job. But this will make it easier to drive back and forth from my house to yours," I said with a huge smile. I was still a bit apprehensive, but I was actually really happy about the car.

"I enjoy taking care of you, Lover. Do not worry about money. I told you, I am very wealthy. We have much to discuss about living arrangements, but I think that you should quit your job and come live with me in Shreveport."

"Oh, Eric, I don't know about that. I mean we just got back together."

"Sookie, my son is growing inside of you. You will be where I am."

"Eric, just because we are having a baby doesn't mean that we need to live together!" I was getting a bit annoyed.

"Sookie, you are so fucking stubborn." He started to pace in front of me. "We WILL be living together. That is final. You and my SON need protection. You WILL be where I am." His voice had risen slightly and I started to tear up.

"Why are you yelling at me? I was just letting you know how I felt and you are yelling at me."

He looked over to me and I saw great regret come over his face. He walked back over to me and kissed me on the forehead.

"I am sorry, min kärlek," he whispered against my forehead. I nodded and stepped back.

"Eric, you really need to get your temper in check. You can't be like this around a baby."

"I know. I would NEVER harm my son. But it is very possible that I might scare him and I do not want that. You deserve better. I am sorry Sookie."

"I'm sorry too. I really am stubborn, aren't I?" He smiled and nodded at me. "But, I don't know about my job. I guess I will have to talk to Sam about it. He's going to be so mad that I'm back with you. He keeps wanting to ask me out, but he never does. And he's my boss. Maybe a while back we were friends, but not anymore."

"I understand. We will go and talk to him tomorrow. Now, come and check out your new car!" He looked very excited.

We walked towards the car and he opened the door for me to get in.

"Eric, where are the keys? Oh, and get in! I thought we were going shopping." I was actually excited to go shopping, even though I wouldn't be able to get many things because I worked with such a tight budget.

He vamped over to the other side of the car and got in, folding his tall frame inside the little sports car. He handed me the keys and I started the car.

"I have to admit, it's nice to not hear loud, sputtering noises when starting my car."

He smiled at me while I pulled out of the driveway.

"Where to, Mr. Northman?"

"Shreveport. I own the Shreveport City Mall, so we will start their, future Mrs. Northman."

I chose to ignore the name for now. No point in arguing again tonight. He leaned over, put the radio onto a rock station, and stretched his arm around my shoulders.

"What's your favorite type of music?" I asked, realizing I didn't know much about him.

"I like the song, not the genre. Pam becomes very mad at me when I listen to Ke$ha, but I have to admit, some of her songs are very catchy." I looked at him in shock. "What?"

"Nothing, I just didn't think you would be a Ke$ha fan. I agree, by the way. I like the song, not the genre."

"Really? I thought that you Southerners were all under some oath to only listen to country music." I laughed at that.

"Well I hate country. Just because I'm southern doesn't mean I like country music." I was still laughing. "I love this. You make me laugh and it's so easy to talk to you."

"Thank you. I enjoy hearing your laugh and seeing your beautiful smile light up your already beautiful face." I smiled and blushed, which caused him to laugh.

We arrived at the mall in record time. In my old car it would have taken at least a half hour more. I pulled into the parking lot, parked and before I could even take the keys out of the ignition, Eric was around the car, opening the door for me.

We walked into the mall and looked at the directory. We saw where the maternity store, Moms and Babes, was. He took my hand and we headed in the direction of the store.

"This is weird. I mean, I've been coming here for years and now I find that my guy owns it?"

"It's a small world. It must be fate. We were destined to meet. A match made in heaven." I was slightly confused, but he then asked, "Any other clichés you can think of?"

I started to laugh then and I guess I was kind of loud because some people turned their heads and stared at us. I heard a mixture of thoughts. Some young women were jealous, while some older ladies thought we were adorable. I smiled because I felt very lucky.

We made it to the shop and Eric stopped me before we went it.

"Sookie, I think that you will be fine by yourself for a little while. I am going to go to some other stores. Call me if you need me." He kissed my forehead and walked away.

I entered the store and the girl at the checkout counter turned to me and smiled.

"They all leave. For some reason men are afraid to shop here. I'm Jocelyn by the way. Do you need any help finding anything today?" I shook my head no. "Well, don't be afraid to ask. We don't close until midnight, so take your time."

I smiled and headed over to the rack of sweaters by the front door. I looked up out the window I saw Eric going into a jewelry store. I smiled and shook my head.

I browsed for a bit, but didn't pick out much. However I did find the most adorable onesie. It said, 'Guys, stay away from my Mommy. Daddy will mess you up.' I put it in the cart with my other items. I made my way to the checkout counter just as Eric came into the store.

"Hey! Did you get what you needed?" I asked, very happy to see him.

"Yes, I did," he said with a smile of his own, that turned into a look of confusion.

"Look what I found!" I said with a huge grin, while holding up the onesie. He smiled too.

"It's perfect. Hey, Sookie, why did you not pick out more? You are going to be growing in the next few months. You will need more than this."

"Well, this is a really expensive store, and I'm working with a budget," I said, trying to be discreet.

"Sookie! My dear! I am going to buy these clothes for you. It is, after all, my fault that you need new clothes."

"Oh! Eric, wow! I don't know what to say. You really don't have to do this."

"Sookie, I want to do this. Now go and pick out items you like, or I will pick out items that I think you will like, and that I will definitely like," he said with a lust filled look. I rolled my eyes and began walking down the aisles. Every time I thought I had enough, Eric would just shake his head no. Finally, he seemed satisfied with all my items. Which was lot. I almost fainted when I saw that the total came to $1036.59. Eric pulled out a debit card, paid, grabbed the bags in one hand, put his free arm around my shoulders, and we walked out the door. I smiled up at him and for once, I felt wanted and needed.

This amazing man wanted me. And I got to have his baby.

Could life get any better?
