Sookie held Eric's hand as she felt the Doctor's hand move around in her opening. "Alright, Sookie I need you to push, right now." Sookie pushed and lay back, sucking in a breath.

"Good, now push." She pushed as much as she could. "I see a head, give me one push, and this one is out." She pushed and lay down. The first baby came out, and gave a loud burp, that caused both parents to laugh. "Congrats you guys, this one is a boy." Sookie cried and then gasped as she felt another contraction. "I need you to push for me Sookie." She pushed, and sucked in a breath. "One more, come on you can do it." She gave all she had left and pushed, screaming. The second baby came out crying. "This one is a girl and she was born five minutes after her brother."

Sookie looked down at her children and cried happy tears. Her family was complete, they were all she needed, and she was forever thankful to Eric for giving her a precious gift. "Gabriel Nathaniel Northman, and Nicoletta Rayne Northman, you like the names?"

Eric looked down with pride and possessiveness; no one was going to hurt his family. "Yes, they are good strong names. They are human, with Faye blood, but they have vampire hearing, strength, and speed. No Sookie, they will not have fangs and try to bite you. Once they are older, they will know who their mates will be, with one look, they will know. It won't be blood; it would be their true mate. Feed them, they are hungry; I love you Sookie, you and our children mean more to me than you will ever know."

She rolled her eyes. "Yeah you say that now, wait until they turn one and get into everything and they hook you with those puppy eyes, then we'll see if you still love me." She cradled each baby in her arms and feed them. She leaned up and kissed her husband. "I love you, my Viking vampire."

One year later

Eric ran after a naked Gabe and his squealing sister, it was their bath time. "Get back here right now, and get in that tub." Nicoletta and Gabe shook their golden heads. "No dada, we want to play, no bath time." Nicoletta put her thumb in her mouth and looked at her brother and father. Gabe ignored them and went to the toy box and got his monster truck, and sat on the floor and did wheelies.

Eric had his hands on his hips and an evil smirk on his lips. "If you don't get in the tub, I'm going to call Aunt Pam over here, and she'll take care of you." They stopped in what they were doing. Gabe dropped his toy and went to the bathroom, and Nicoletta looked at her dad and cried.

Sookie walked in and went to her. Cooing and kissing her, to make her feel better. She glared at her husband and walked by him to the bathroom and shut the door in his face. "What the hell did I do now?"

A half hour later, she walked out with clean and polished babies. She dressed Gabe and let him play with his truck, while she got Nicoletta dressed. Eric walked in his daughter's room, as Sookie was getting on her diaper. His daughter turned away not wanting to look at him. It hurt when she did that, it tore at his heart to see her or his son upset at him. "Want to tell me what it was I did to make Nicoletta cry?" Sookie got up with her daughter and brought her in the play room with her brother; she sat at the table and colored in her coloring book.

"She cried because she's afraid of Pam. Pam yelled at her one time for getting in her purse and dropped her phone in the toilet. She thinks Pam is going to hit her. So when you said, "She'll take care of you", she thought slapping and punishing."

Eric walked into the play room towards his daughter. He crouched down next to her and rubbed her soft cheek. "Daddy's sorry, princess. I won't mention that evil certain again, I promise. I love you, angel." Nicoletta looked at him and gave him a dimpled smile. "Love you too, dada." She got up and kissed his cheek. He hugged her to him, and kissed the top of her head. He kissed his son, and ruffled his golden wavy hair. "Dada, don't do that to my hair, mama just brushed it." Love you too." He picked him up and tossed him in the air, hearing a squeal of delight. "Love you too, buddy." He left them to play and smiled at Sookie.

"What am I, chopped liver? You didn't tell me you loved me or kiss me? I feel neglected; maybe my other husband can meet my standards." Squealing, he picked her up and held her several inches off the ground. "What was that about another husband? As I recall, you only have one and that's me and that's all you'll ever need." With that he kissed her, taking her breath from her lungs. "I love you Sookie, a lifetime of forevers, and many more children."

Nicoletta and Gabe giggled. "Dada, is kissing mama, dada is kissing mama." Eric let her go and laughed. "I love you Eric, a lifetime is all I need. Whoa buddy, slow down, I want at least three." He looked at her and smirked. " Let's get these guys to bed and get a start on number three?" He looked down at her with a smoldering heat, which said all it had to say.

He grabbed the kids and tucked them into bed, with a book and kiss. Sookie each kissed them goodnight and walked to her room. Eric shut their door, and took off their clothing. He pushed her into bed and made love to her nice and slow. That night, they did in fact, make their third child.
