Huge thanks to everyone who is reading I love the reviews they make me wanna write more so let me know like it or hate it, Oh and if you think you know who the killer is think again.
Opening night went off without a hitch the bar was packed and Sookie was shocked at the crowed out front when she went to open the doors for the night, they opened at dusk so that Eric could be there with her for opening night and they stayed busy all night.
Eric was in his element entertaining the bar patrons even the few that were still uncomfortable with vampires, he put on his most human face and moved around the room conversing and making people feel welcome. It was a total opposite from the role he played at Fangtasia posing and treating everyone as if they were a stain in the carpet.
It was clear to see he was proud of Sookie for everything she was doing and he told her about a thousand times since she started working on the bar, he watched her as she moved around the room laughing and serving drinks but she was not the only one he had his eyes on.
Eric found it strange that Lafayette showed up just after they had the trailer hauled away, he tried to talk to Sookie about it last night but she insisted it was just bad timing. There were many things he believed in but bad timing was not one of them, he continued to watch Lafayette who was sitting in a booth with the girls playing and laughing.
Sookie could see Eric watching Lafayette and it was starting to bother her he was the only piece of Tara the girls had left and she wouldn't let him chase him away. After a few last minute to go orders and dividing up the tips it was closing time.
Sookie had enjoyed fixing up the bar and now that it was done and she had hired Arlene and Teri to manage it Eric was pushing her to plan their wedding. It wasn't that she didn't want to marry him but she was ready for a small ceremony and reception but Eric had other plans.
"Sookie you only get married once" he busted out laughing until she shot daggers at him with her eyes "I mean you only get married to me once and I want you to have it all." Imagine her surprise when he mentioned a huge ceremony in a church with tone of guest's vampires and human, after a joke about him bursting into flames while entering the church she realized Eric was proud to be marrying her and he wanted everyone to know about it.
The thought of them walking down the aisle made him happy so she agreed to the big wedding the town car and the live band, her and Sam had driven to the court house and married with only Arlene and Terri to witness the event. Her heart still ached when she thought about Sam and she hoped everyday they would find out what happened to him.
With the bar closed Eric and Lafayette carried the girls to the car while Sookie locked up, she still felt eerie in the rear parking lot even now with the trailer gone so she had parked in front of the bar under the street lamp. They made in home on one piece and put the girls to bed before having a celebratory drink with Lafayette who Sookie insisted stay with them as long as he needed.
She knew Eric wasn't happy with her decision to let him stay but he went along with it anyway, it was odd for him to give in so easily so she figured he must have had a reason. Lafayette and Sookie joked and cut up about the girls while Eric stood silent making both of them feel a little uncomfortable.
Sookie pretended to stretch saying goodnight and heading toward the bedroom hoping Eric would follow, he did and when she turned around and closed the door behind them she knew he was angry.
"How long is he staying?" Eric said calmly but Sookie could tell there was an alternate meaning
"As long as he needs why what is the big deal Eric"
"Do you think now is a good time to have house, someone is trying to kill us you know" and there it was Eric had always had a way of saying things without saying them so she wouldn't know how to react. Sookie turned and looked at him she was ready for the fight until she saw him removing his clothes, his shirt was gone and he was standing in his briefs and suddenly she didn't feel like fighting.
She walked over to stand in front of him running her hands up and down his chest before wrapping them in his hair and pulling him in for a kiss, Eric's arms wrapped around her pulling her to him.
"You want me?" he asked teasing her,
He knew what she wanted and he let his hands wander her body tugging at her clothes, Sookie fumbled with her belt eager to feel his cool skin on hers. Eric lifted her up wrapping her legs around his waist and slamming her against the wall,
"Tell me you want me"
"I want you Eric" Sookie gasped at the shock of hitting the wall she could tell he was angry about Lafayette and he needed to ease some of his frustrations and she was more than willing to let him.
She twisted her hands in his hair pulling him back just enough and sinking her teeth into his bottom lip,
"I need you Eric" She moaned as she sucked the small drops of blood from his mouth
Sookie could feel her body throbbing for him as he lifted her arms locking both her wrists in his grip,
"You want this" He said using the other to message her clit slowly.
He pressed his body against hers stopping her from wiggling free from his grip before slide his fingers deep inside rubbing her sweet spot moving his finger in and out while her juices flowed down his hand.
Sookie moaned against his shoulder begging him for more she wanted him hell she needed him "Fuck me Eric."
There was no air between their bodies and he could feel when she started to jerk making him move his fingers faster and deeper until she couldn't take anymore, her muscles tightened around his fingers and she whispered his name as she came.
Eric smiled at her as he licked her juices from his hand he loved everything about Sookie her smell, her moans, the way her body felt against him, the thought of her being his forever was too much. He pictured her walking toward him in a beautiful gown willing to be his forever and he felt the need to be inside of her.
Sookie was still recovering from her orgasm when he shoved her onto the bed kneeling behind her as he pulled her to her to him and with one swift motion he filled her with his manhood. Sookie thrust her hip back and forth moaning as he pounded into her she could feel him through her body as she sagged to the mattress screaming her way into another orgasm.
Eric grabbed her shoulders pulling her back into him pounding inside of her he wanted more, he pulled her back only to slam her forward again as he pushed inside of her. Sookie's moans came out in gasps her words jumping syllables as she fought for air, Eric pulled her up by her hair running his tongue over her shoulder.
She tasted like the sun and he craved it with everything in him as he pounded into her again, "I love you" she whispered before he sank his fangs into her shoulder and drinking from her as he filled her with his seed.
"I love you too" he moaned as they collapsed onto the bed their bodies tangled in each other, Eric lay their watching her stomach move up and down as she breathed neither of them ready for what he was about to say
"I want a child" Sookie glared at him as he rubbed his hand along her stomach,
"What are you serious?"
"Yes very serious I want to make love to you while you carry our child" Eric looked up at her giving his best puppy dog expression.
"Eric I" he held his finger over her lips quieting her,
"Just promise after the wedding you will think about it" Sookie stared at him and she could see his heart was on his sleeve in this moment and she agreed to think about it after the wedding. It would be a hard decision to make the girls had been thrown into her life and she hated the danger that put them in, she wondered if she could bring a baby into a life where someone always seemed to be trying to kill her.
Two weeks later and Lafayette was still staying with them thing were good, Eric had lightened up a lot about him being around and he help with the girls while Sookie worked some nights at the bar. It had also been Two weeks since they had been shot outside the bar, she still felt uneasy locking up and heading to her car at night even with Eric there.
Sookie had started the wedding planning and just as she thought it was spiraling out of control, the guest list was up to four hundred people and all but twenty of them were from Eric's list. They made all of their appointments in the evening so he could come along and she found it hilarious how he got excited over the tiny details, Sookie wasn't asked what roses she wanted or how tall the center pieces should because Eric had already decided.
It had only been a few weeks since they had started planning and already more than half of the to do list was done; she stood in the kitchen cooking dinner when he came alive for the night. Sookie heard his footsteps when he tried to sneak upon her but she wasn't in the mood, with everything wedding related starting to feel rushed Sookie wondered if there wasn't an ulterior motive behind it.
"Why do you want to marry me?" she said turning and stopping him in his tracks, he looked at her confused surely she had lost her mind if she didn't know why he was marrying her.
"What now" he said pinching the bridge of his nose and sitting at the table, Eric had thought they were happy truly happy but like always with Sookie she had to over think their lives together. The last she questioned their relationship she married Sam.
"Why do you want to marry me?" he asked looking up at her "Sookie I love you that why I want to marry you"
Sookie walked over and say beside him without saying a word, "Sookie what is this about?" he was waiting for her to break a lot of things had happened in the last year, she was almost killed several times, she lost her childhood home, the girls were taken and Sam had died. There were lots of good things in between but he knew it would catch up to her soon enough.
"Get dressed I want to show you something" Sookie went and dressed while Eric asked Lafayette to watch the girls, once they were in the car Eric slid a blindfold over Sookie's eyes "don't peak." No one spoke as they drove for what seemed like forever Eric had been planning to show her this on their wedding night but her could see she needed a reason to smile right now.
Eric pulled the car to a stop and in seconds he was pulling her from the car, he held her hand as they walked she could feel wet grass under her feet and the smell of roses filled the air. He pulled the blind fold off slowly and Sookie couldn't believe her eyes,
"Eric how?" Sookie stood on Humming Bird Lane staring at her childhood home, Eric had been planning working on it for months. She walked around the yard as he pointed out the additions he had made a pool, a swing set that belonged in an amusement park, and an expansion on the deck that was loaded with old fashioned patio furniture.
When they walked inside Sookie started to cry he had saved what he could of her grans things but what he couldn't save he found its match her childhood home looked sparkling new yet still the same. Eric drug her up the stairs he could wait to show her one last thing he had extended the second floor to include three more bedrooms which he had decorated to down to the wall decals.
"What do you think?" he said whispered as he wrapped his arms around her
"I think I want marry you and have you make love to me while I carry our child"
