* I noticed in the last chapter that Erika's name when it went through a spell check system got changed to Erica. Please ignore that and I am greatly sorry for that happening. I did not catch it til after a few told me so. I also noticed the spell checker is ignoring a lot of spelling issues so again I am sorry. I will try to do a bit better an more double checking as we continue.

I had the strong urge to straddle him with us still sitting up entangled in one another. After positioning myself properly I felt Eric's gracious plenty touching my hot center slightly. I moved my hips slightly to get him close to me again and proving despite what happen I need him.

I brought myself down just right feeling Eric fill me up to the brim. Hearing him moan and groan alongside me was music to my ears. I honestly can not think of having another man other than the one inside me now ever. I slowly rocked my hips holding onto him my hands placed on his shoulders.

Our kissing became very heated while I grinded my hips slowly into his. Both of us letting on just how much we enjoyed this contact with one another. I loved feeling his hands grip onto my hips forcing me to be slow. It was a different to feel him being so cautious, but also so gentle almost as though he needed it as much as me this time. We took our time slow and steady just feeling each other an reclaiming one another after what happened.

It lasted a good while despite still being slow and passionate with one another. Eric didn't seem to want to speed up or anything. Which I was fine with as long as he was. Just feeling him filling me up completely and stretching me was heaven.

I am not just saying this for him being the only man to be within me, but because I can't imagine anyone else ever. I love Eric with everything that I am. When we finally reached our peaks it was beyond weakening. We ended up curled up under the furs holding onto one another drifting off to sleep.

Over the next few days Eric was only away from me as needed to be. He still seemed distant at times, but I know he had alot on his mind. The summer raids where coming upon us much quicker now. My mother ended up showing up to visit briefly only to return to my father. She told me while others are gone during raid season she will return for a while.

I was changing even more, even was hearing others thoughts it scared me briefly, but I kept it hidden from all. I was also foreseeing things before they happened. I just knew I had to wait til my mother could have time for me an explain things further.

~*~*~Skip 4 months ~*~*~

I was swollen by our child, but it pleased Eric greatly knowing after everything that happened. His first child is strong and surviving yet sadly trying to come early past two weeks. I am not due to have the baby until Eric is gone for the summer raids.

I was standing down by the sea enjoying some quiet. I soon felt Eric standing behind me wrapping his strong arms around me resting them on my very tight swollen belly. I felt stretched and out of room. Even though I should have room to grow for a few more weeks.

He asked me how is our little one doing? I told him feel for himself and sure enough when he moved his hand atop my belly he felt the powerful little kicks causing him to grin some. It made me smile knowing he finally came around to his little one.

We played in the sea a bit. We started kissing until it got very heated to the point I burned with need for him. Which has happened often through my pregnancy causing Eric great joy. So I told him I burned with strong need for him to fill me. We were still in the sea a bit near the shore and he pulled my dress up over my hips exposing myself to him. As he helped me down to my knees in the sand and he positioned himself behind me.

Eric slid his pants down then pushed himself inside me til he could go no further all the while moaning. It amazed him how I was still so tight every time he filled me completely. Soon we were moving with one another in perfect harmony he'd thrust forward as I thrusted back. This carried on til we couldn't take anymore an yelled out a little loud as we both exploded together and I felt his seed filling me again.

Some few hours later we were rinsed off an standing there for a while longer. Enjoying the sea and one another. I was mostly just enjoying being in Eric's arms. I felt a lot of pressure again, yet more different than before. Then I felt a trickling down my legs like I may have peed on myself. I nudged Eric as I gasped sharply at the pain suddenly enclosing in on me from within.

We had noticed after a bit of Eric holding me that my stomach was tightening several times and it got worse. It made him realize that it was possible for it to be time despite being to early. He picked me up like I was nothing an ran back up to his fathers home yelling out to all.

I was just trying to breathe an stop from panicking, but I looked at Eric and told him it is too soon for the baby to be coming. I noticed after entering the house that my mother was here shockingly. A few hours later I was screaming at Eric for doing this to me. He seemed nervous and scared as well.

So His mother and my mother ended up kicking him out of the room after I threatened to cut his throat in his sleep. I was left with our mothers and the healer. I was thankful for my mother being with us to. I told her when we were left alone for a bit that I was getting stronger with need of guidance. She knew right away I was speaking of my gifts. I also told her this baby is going to be a strong boy for sure.

I learned that my Mother had come with the men from my fathers part of the lands. The men were to go on the raids with Eric and his men. I had asked her questions about why I was different, but she has yet to answer then told me when the time is right she will do so. She and Astrid helped me through the next several hours being in great pain. Eric even tried to help off an on as he was allowed.
