S-pov

I woke up the next morning with brilliant memories of the night before. However we cut it to close to dawn again and now I am trapped under a very dead very heavy Viking. I tried to move him, Nope not working. I glanced at the clock 1:13, well crap Alex will not be awake for hours. Who would be up and close at this hour because I really have to pee? Then it hit me! Yes Lily will be awake she hardly sleeps at all because she is half demon.

I cast out my mental net searching for her signature. Bingo she is just down the hall. I sent out a tiny call and felt her mind respond. I sent out

"Lily can you pop to me? I'm trapped under Eric." I heard her mental laughter then I heard a pop.

"Well Sookie at least this will make a good story." She laughed

"hah well this is not the first time."

"Let me get you out from under him." She said as she began to push Eric over with her very tiny hands. Her strength astonished me. That little girl could pack a punch in many ways. Finally with Eric off of me I got up and said.

"Okay I'm going to take a shower and meet you down stairs in a few."

"That's cool. There is a fairy named Claude Brignat here to see you. He was saying something about you having a new fairy to register and that you owe him $20." She looked like she wanted me to explain the whole $20 thing but now was not the time. I told Claude 100 years ago that I would bet him $20 that we would never find another earth Fae with more than 1/16 blood and he said that ¾ and ½ parts would start coming out of the wood work once they realized they were not ageing right and would begging to seek answers. No wonder Claude and Eric get along so well now, they're like two peas in an arrogant pod. I'm pretty sure Alex is also just as bad as they are.

I took a shower and tossed on a little yellow sun dress. It had a flared super short skirt and square halter neck line. All I could think about when I looked at myself in the mirror was how horny Eric was going to get when he saw me in this. Then I got a great idea! Yes I will stay out of the room until he rises and he will have to come to me then I can tease him all night until after the strategy meeting. Yes I am EVIL! I finished my hair and make-up and walked down to the patio only to find a very smug looking fairy Prince.

"Hello cousin." He said

"Hey Claude here is your money. Is there any way you are not going to tell Eric about this?" I asked with a pout.

"Oh no I'm telling him as soon as he rises. I brought presents for the kids. Lily is already enjoying hers." I saw him hold up two gift bags one hunter green and one pastel pink with delicate bows sprinkled all over it. Then I saw Lily twirling in a fairy cloth dress.

"Oh Claude you didn't have to." I said touched that he always beings gifts for Pam and Alex and also now Lily too.

"Well I have no kids of my own so I spoil yours. I know they will never be too old for me to spoil just look at Pam." I nodded and took on a more serious tone.

"How is Claudine doing?" Claude looked somber

"She is not doing well. Niall's death hit her hard, we knew he was near his end when he started seeking you out but you know all too well you are never prepared to watch someone you love die." I nodded and sighed.

"My coronation ceremony is in 6 months time in this realm."

"We will be there. However we will need another potion to get Eric thru the portal."

"Of course, here you are. I had 3 made so he can come thru for the new babies blessing ceremonies also."

"What are you talking about no one is preg…" Sookie looked up with wide eyes and her mouth gapping open.

"No not yet but you and Lily will be soon. I have seers in my employ after the Fairy war 30 years ago I stopped taking chances." He looked smug

"Yes I'm sure. You know I remember a time when Fairy politics revolted you."

"Well that was before Niall became too weakened with age and had to step down and Claudine was stricken with grief. It was like something inside of me cracked and I knew I had to grow up and do what is right."

"Well you have done a great job. I'm so proud of you."

"I know I have done a great job I'm proud of me too."

"Conceited" Sookie muttered under her breath

"Always cousin, I'm still me after all." Sookie laughed at that

"Call lily over we will have lunch and register her then we can chat until the meeting."

"What meeting?" Sookie asked confused

"Sookie, do you think we would let you go to war with the demons alone? What do you think I am some savage? No no no the Fae are on your side and we are able to move freely thru the rifts and portals so we can fight them on all sides." Claude said grasping my hand

"Thank you" she said at a whisper tears threatening to fall from her eyes.

"Think nothing of it there are so few of us left now it is important that we defend what's ours and keep our alliances strong." Sookie smiled and looked up

"How is the breeding going?" Sookie asked

"Great now! It was hard at first to convince the female's to find a human to breed with but now that things are not so forced or arranged we are losing very few babies. Even the full fairy couples that have decided to mate are having better luck. It seems we were doing things all wrong by breeding for numbers instead of creating life with our feelings. Really we should have known better our race's health is closely tied to our emotions and I'm surprised we never thought that forcing Fairies to have children with people that they did not love and sometimes hated because it was a good match would cause the pregnancy to fail."

"Your race owes you. If you had not refused to mate with Lennea the race would be too far gone to save by now."

"Yes well being gay was making breeding a female hard enough and having her shaking crying for her human lover was my breaking point. I'm an ass hole not a monster."

"Do you think this will mean the fairies will hate Eric a little less?"

"Not likely, however he will continue to be tolerated." He said with a smirk and a chuckle

"Well I guess he has a typical in-law relationship with my family." I said laughing

"Yes now lunch and paper work. I want to have some time to hang out with Eric and Alex before the meeting starts." I nodded and had our lunch brought over and I summoned Lily who was lost in dance watching the swirling sparkling colors on her new Fairy cloth dress.

L-pov

I was jumping on the bed next to Alex. It was about an hour until sundown but I was excited and in no mood to wait for him to wake up.

"Alex" I shook him a little and he groaned "Alex wake up!" He rolled over and looked at me with an eye brow raised and said

"Where is the fire my love?"

" ha ha ha very funny. I met a Fairy today and he was awesome!"

"Yes Claude is awesome. However you have meet fairies before. You are half, I'm a quarter, my mom and dad are each and eighth." He said running his hands up my new dress.

"Yes well this was different he is full fairy… what wait your Dad is an eighth?"

"Yes darling we think he was sky Fae but there is no way to tell his specific lineage now."

"Wow, how did you find out he was part Fae?"

"My Mom got pregnant by a vampire." He chuckled at that

"No really." I said

"Really, My Father was 1/8 Fae before he was turned he also possessed the essential spark and when he met my Mom he was drawn to her and after they bonded it triggered my mom's spark and BAM! She was pregnant. It was old magic it happened because they both wanted to have a child together so much and here I am." He said gesturing to himself

"Hmm… I know this is a weird question but do you have any children?"

"No my love the magic only works with your mate." He chuckled lightly into my hair

"Oh okay good. I want all of your babies to come out of me." He laughed again and said

"Me too!"

"Wait I thought you were able to be conceived because your mother was made goddess?"

"That's what we tell people so as not to draw attention to the Fae."

"Oh that was probably a good call."

"Yes my dear it was." He said snaking his hands up my dress cupping my breasts

"Why…" Alex cut me off with his mouth is a steamy kiss then pulled back to say

"Talk later okay? We have forever." I lustfully nodded the power of that kiss had knocked and desire to talk right out of my mind.

E-pov

I woke at sunset but to my surprise My Sookie was not in the bed. I growled with frustration as I got up and took a royalty out of the warmer and tossed it back as I got ready to take a shower and get ready for the night. The warm water felt good on my skin. Not as good as my lover would have felt but whatever. I really wonder where she is. She is probably out there playing the grand southern hostess to all of the Supe leaders that are coming tonight for the meeting. But the meeting is not until midnight and it is just now 6pm. Oh well I'm not going to dwell on how horny I am. I got out and dressed and headed down stairs.

I walked down the hall and I could hear Lily screaming my sons name in ecstasy. I smiled and puffed out my chest with pride. My son is a stallion and a gracious lover just like his Father. I widened my smile when I realized that my son inherited all of my most important gifts strength, flight, warrior attitude and being an excellent lover. Prior to my Sookie I had always prided myself on the ability to spoil women for other men. However with Sookie she spoiled me for all others. I mean really, I get "miffed" as Sookie says when she is not there to make love to when I rise so how I could ever want another. It has always been only the best for Eric Northman and that will never change.

Then I made it into the living room and I smelled him. "Claude my brother how are you tonight?" I asked pleased to see one of the only fairies that I really like.

"I'm well Eric. You were making an awful lot of noise coming down here." He said with a smile as he rose to greet me.

"Ahh Sookie told you yes?" I asked as I grasped his fore arm and patted his back in greeting.

"No it was our dearest Lily who told me at lunch. Earth Fae are skittish creatures you should have known better." He said with a laugh

"Yes well hind sights 20/20 right?" we sat back down and I caught sight of my Sookie in the sexiest little yellow sun dress. Now I know why she was not with me when I woke she is going to tempt me all night. I took a small sniff. Oh Gods be praised no panties!

"How was your rest baby?" She said feigning innocence and snuggling into my chest.

"The rest was good but the wakening was lonely." I said jutting my lower lip out in an exaggerated fashion.

"I'm sorry but Claude was here." She said with an unusually thick southern drawl that she knows melts me.

"Yes I'm sure those were your motives." I said running my finger along the hem of her dress.

"Think what you want." She said flicking my hand away and winking at me. "Honey go tell Kevin to have the meeting room fully stocked and to dismiss all of the staff that is not necessary. Then can you go tell Alex to stop humping Lily for a few minutes and get ready for the meeting because the regents, pack masters and covens will be here soon." I got up to do that and said

"Claude will you be joining us?"

"Of course Eric your battles are our battles." Claude's time in the human realm did wonders for his personality. He has very few Fairy like qualities for me to hate.

"Sookie, Pam told me to tell you that she will be late because she is picking Amelia up from the airport but that she got everything you need on this trip so she does not have to go back." Pam had turned Amelia after she was involved in a car accident and that act of impulse created a very good maker child relationship. Plus it made it so Sookie did not have to watch one more person in her life die. On a slightly more selfish note she became infinitely more useful because her magic increased with the turn. She had been in Japan for the last two months gathering all of the herbs she needs to reinforce the wards on our compound. Now that she is coming back maybe Pam will stop acting like such a spoiled brat.

Sookie nodded and I set about my duties. I gave the instructions to Kevin and he set about his duties. He is annoying but very efficient. Then I knocked on Alex's door and shouted

"You need to be in the meeting room in one hour." I heard a thud and heavy panting

"Fine an hour we got it!" He shouted back and I laughed and thought that's my boy! As I saw smoke beginning to seep from under the door.

As I headed into my study to finalize my plans for the evening I felt a tug at my brothers bond with me. He was here and I have to say I was excited I have not seen him in 2 years and we have always been very close. He often shielded me from my maker and for that I will be forever grateful. I got up again and walked to the foyer and I saw the door fling open.

"Brother are you well?" Maximums said as he embraced me

"I am and you?"

"Never better you know I love a good fight." He said as we disengaged and saw Sookie run in.

"Aww Max how are you? It's been too long." She said with a winning smile and a big hug "Hi Celesta would you like your gift now or later?" Sookie asked, Celesta is my brother's child and Sookie likes to think of her as her niece so every time we see her Sookie has a gift ready for her.

"Now please!" she shrieked jumping up and down clapping her hands. My brother pinched the bridge of his nose in exasperation. Sookie grabbed her hand and lead her out of the room towards wherever her gift was being kept.

"Remember to mind your manners!" Max yelled after them only to be returned with giggles and unison "yes Master".

"We have created monsters. Perhaps we should have been firmer makers? Or we should have turned men." I said

"Sookies not even turned! I think we take some sick pleasure in bending to the will of our women. Speaking of which how is your Pamela?"

"She is well her child is coming home tonight. Thank the Gods she has been the biggest pain in my ass ever since she left. She made the shifter boy cry no less than 6 times and she pushed Sookie to far one night and Sookie took her shopping privileges away for three days. Max I swear you would have thought I had met my final death she was crying like she had just seen her maker staked." He was rolling with laughter red tears rolling down his face.

"Oh Eric, I cut up celestas Black card once and she went on a 4 night killing spree. I had to chain her with silver to subdue her." We walked together and exchanged stories about our spoiled children until just before midnight.

"I think we should go start the meeting. It seems the demons have been plaguing much of the world. I want to coordinate a worldwide attack to dispatch this threat all at once. We cannot allow them time to regroup it has to happen all at once so we will need to have every vampire, were, witch, fairy, goblin, troll and trusted demon on the same page." I said

"Well Eric that is ballsy but we all know you have balls of steel so let's get to it." I chuckled and we walked into the meeting room. Every faction was represented all of the screens on the walls were filled with supe leaders faces from around the world. Lily must have been nervous because she shot out a little flame that set a piece of paper on fire. Alex quickly patted it out and gave her a kiss to clam her. I took in a deep breath and began the meeting.

"Well who is ready for a good fight?" I said as I watched the whole room perk up.
