Great Grandfather

A/N: Blame Talk Talk... our internet provider... we moved home and it took a month to put broadband into a house that already had broadband before... personally I don't know how that is even possible in the 21st century but Talk Talk managed it... Grrr no web for over a month...

So it is my very great pleasure to give this chapter to you... also a very Happy New Year to you...I hope 2011 is awesome for you...

Enjoy JoXx

P.s BIG, HUGE Thank you to every one who has review...some where during my radio silance this story went to a 1000 review's whoop whoop!

That night we had gone home and just relaxed after all the weirdness, Eric had not said another word about the Ancient Pythoness swearing fealty to me. I guess living a thousand years didn't prepare you for quiet everything, so I left him to his time to process it all, hell I needed time to process it all or was that block it out completely.

Pam came home with us too, as Eric didn't want to be without her while things where up in the air so to speak. He asked me to join him in his bed being very careful to make sure I understood it was request, I was touched. However what I did not expect was Pam in the same bed too, the look on my face must have said it all.

"Oh don't worry he's all yours, I've not fucked Eric in over ninety years, I am just here for the snuggling," Pam said in a bored tone. I looked at Eric who looked like it was the most normal thing in the world, I reluctantly climb into bed, shower fresh after my loooong night and made sure I was on the opposite side from Pam. We would be having a talk about this when I was less world weary. This was just weird; was my last thoughts of the day.

The next day I woke, read a few hours later, extracted myself from under Eric's arm. I dressed and headed out to see the fairies.

"Hello Cousin," Claudine beamed at me sweeping me up in a hug. A quick scan revealed we were the only two in the club.

"Ah Claudine, you are never gonna believe what has happened," I sighed returning her hug.

"Oh I am sure I'll believe it, when it comes to you I am sure anything is possible-daywalking Vampire," she said the last part in an over exaggerated whisper and a little giggle that was so Claudine.

I couldn't help but giggle with her. I explained events from the night before minus the sunlight sex and the shameful mess I was in when the whos who of the Vampire world swore fealty to me,"... so now they think I am some sort Demi Goddess, messiah, come to usher in some new age for Vampire kind- ME! can you imagine, I have barely accepted I am one, then I am not really a typical one, then theres the whole..." I didn't get further Claudine cut me off.

"Dear cousin you are positively rambling. I do not see what the problem is did you not want them to see you as all powerful?"

"Yes" I answered impatiently, "but that was just so Sophie Anne would let Eric go, not so people would swear fealty to me,"

"Sookie, Sookie did you think everyone was going to forget about your Queen handing over her sheriff?"

"I guess not. But what happens when everyone discovers Athena was just a lazy fairy, centuries dead- I am so screwed,"

"That won't happen," she smiled.

"How can you be so sure?"

"The Gods, that is one of our families most guarded secrets, they were Brigants," Oh. Fudge.

"What! You never told me that, you said it like it was common knowledge. Sweet Jesus, I told Pam and Eric. Oh God I am so sorry... I am sure they won't say anything,"

"You ramble when you're nervous," Claudine said chirpily, like I hadn't spilt the family beans.

"Claudine!"

"Oh the Prince is here," she stood up and I followed her like a loyal puppy hot on her heels, not really registering what she had said. When she reached the main part of the club, she stopped and bowed.

"My Lord,"

"Claudine, my child you have been well during my return to the realm?" he asked her. I stood in silence, awed by how beautiful the man in front of Claudine looked. When you picture a Great Grandfather, you picture a old gnarly, wrinkly man. Not a six foot man of distinction who doesn't look a day over fifty and wears it ever so well. He had long blond/silver hair tied off his face, he was smartly dress in a designer suit. Yes Pam had rubbed off on me I could tell a designer suit now. In his hand was an elegant cane topped with a silver crane. I suppressed a hiss at the silver.

"Yes Grandfather, our cousin kept us rather busy," she smiled touching his arm running it down till she was holding his hand. Fairies were so touchy feely, the gesture made me smile.

"Ah yes, let me look at you," he smiled at me, suddenly I felt all this warmth radiating from him and I felt like I was coming home after having been away forever, I couldn't help it I hugged him and he wrapped his arms round me.

"Blood of my blood," he whispered.

We stood holding each other just looking at each other, "You look so much like my beloved Einin," he said wistfully.

And you look so much like no one I have ever met before, but I settle for saying; "What should I call you?"

"Officially I am to be addressed as Prince, my Lord or your Majesty, unofficially it would please me greatly if you called me Niall or Great Grandfather,"

"The Ancient Pythoness swore fealty to our Sookie last night," Claudine grinned, I glared at her.

"Splendid," Niall looked really pleased with this bit of news. Huh?

"Splendid?" was he kidding me.

He chuckled at my outburst, "Yes, splendid. You are safe, your turning could have been seen as an abomination," his expression turned serious for a moment.

"Is Eric in trouble?" I blurted out, then I clarified myself, "you know for turning me?"

"Yes it is most unfortunate,"

"YES? He's in trouble? Oh my God, I would be dead, dead if it wasn't for him. He saved me. He can't be, I won't allow it," I all but screeched as I rose to the balls of my feet ready to defend Eric with my life if necessary.

Niall laughed like I was the funniest thing he had heard in a long time, "your turning is most unfortunate, the Viking is not in trouble, I guess I owe him gratitude. There are not many I fear in this realm, but he would be one,"

"Funny, that what he says about you," I smirked, laughing at myself for getting the wrong end of the stick earlier. We all shared a moment at my blond-ness.

"So he is more than maker, he is your mate?" Niall asked.

My face went scarlet, when you say mate all I could think of was two rabbits going at it or something from the discovery channel, I refused to let my mind go there, but it went all by itself throwing me major sex flash backs of hot monkey sex we had at the Queens palace, "we are dating, it all quite new," I continued to blush.

"I see, tell me of Sophie Anne?" Niall asked.

I explained everything to him, all that I knew. His face turned to one of thunderous murder, instinctive I leaned away from him, not that I thought he would hurt me. His eyes bleed into a supernatural blue glow, I took that was not a good sign.

"What of Compton?" he snarled his teeth were pointy- scary biscuits.

"I don't know last I saw him he was at the palace," I shrugged, watching this beautiful man turn into something alien and terrifying still beautiful but terrifying. I'll take scared with a side order of shitting myself, remind me never, I mean never get on his bad side.

"He will die,"

"NO," I yelled, then I spoke more quietly, as Gran would have said I used my indoor voice, "No, I couldn't stand it, then his blood would be on my hands," I implored.

"Yours is on his," he snapped, not angry at me but at Bill.

"I know, but if his is on mine, that makes me no better than him," I took Niall's hands in my own, "my Gran would always say and eye for an eye and the whole world goes blind, another classic from her repertoire was 'two wrongs don't make a right', those are the values I have been raised by, these are the values I choose to keep her memory alive with. That being said I will defend myself if he was to attack me but I don't think he will, he feels remorseful at his actions,"

"I can see all the qualities your Vikings must have been taken with, you are so like my son your Grandfather and his mother," he smiled and left it at that. If you had told me Bill would have to die the night I discovered his betrayal, I'd have happily staked him myself with a smile on my face, but now I had calmed down, slept on it as it were... I couldn't do it even how much he had hurt me. I guess in the Vampire world that made me weak, I thought sadly.

We finished up and I returned to Eric's with a letter for him from Niall. When I got back to the house I toed off my shoes and lay on top of the covers full dressed and let death take me.

When I woke my heart no longer beat, Eric was licking and nibbling my jaw, "Stop," I groaned. He pulled back to look at me, "I can't with Pam in the bed, you wanna go outside?" I asked knowing it would be another good hour before Pam would rise.

"Pam wouldn't mind," he waggled his eyebrows.

I rolled my eyes at him, choosing to ignore his comment, "Do-you-want-to-go-outside?" I repeated sounding out each word. He chuckled.

"We could go skinny dip in the pool," I suggested, I felt like a little bit of a hussy at that but I trapped down that feeling.

"Well lover, why didn't you say earlier," he got up pulling me with him we stripped as we went leaving a trail of clothes through the house, Eric keyed in the code and was first out of the house into the secluded garden and the afternoon sun. I stepped out my heart starting once more.

"This is so amazing, us, your heart beat, the sun," when Eric said 'us' he motioned between us, closing the distance he folded Mr happy up so he was pressed against my tummy our naked bodies flush to each other. Eric brushed some loose strands of hair out of my face, we just stood looking at each other the lust building in both of us, only the sound of my heart filling the silence.

Eric got a wicked glint in his eye, seconds before we flew though the air Eric still holding me we landed in the pool with a large splash.

"ERIC!" I yelled.

He roared with laughter. I could do nothing but admire him, God he was gorgeous it was times like this I could pinch myself, he was just so vital and alive. He just looked like a giant kid on Christmas it filled me with such happiness to see him so carefree.

"What?" he grinned.

"Make love to me," I watched as his eyes turned almost black with lust, he lifted me out of the water laying me at the edge with my legs still dangling in the water I leaned back supported on my elbows, he kissed up each leg and my breath hitched as he got closer to my centre.

My hands wove into his hair as he buried his face in my heat, he lapped at my nub, drawing moans from my mouth, "don't stop...pleeease don't stop," I hissed as I was getting closer and closer to coming undone with each lick and nibble.

"Lover, you taste divine," he murmured, he added fingers into me pumping in a steady rhythm that was building and building serving only to drive me crazier and crazier.

"Eric, Yeeeeeesssss," I felt myself release an explosion of pleasure, little aftershocks causing me to gasp and moan involuntary. "Mmmmm,"

Eric pulled me back into the water lifting me up and swiftly back down filling me in one hard thrust I cried out at the suddenness of it. "Feel what you do to me," he thrust into me my back pressed against the side of the pool. His hardness filled me so completely we fitted perfectly, I had to just admire that.

I tried to meet him at every thrust, "My breasts," I moaned out wanting him to give them some attention, I loved having them touched, so far Eric had proved he was an expert. He lowered his face to my nipple he sucked greedily at it cupping other with his hand.

"Ahhhh.. Yes... just like that,"

"Mine," Eric growled out.

When his fangs slid into my flesh it sent me, I raked my nails down Eric's back, the smell of his blood smelling like the sexiest thing on earth to me; him, safety and now love filled my senses, my fangs tore into his neck, I feasted on his blood taking him into me deeply.

"Oh Fuck Soooookie," Eric growled as he shot load after load into my hot wet centre , I was panting I could barely breath, my heart beat like a wild thing. I felt on fire for him.

"Lover speak to me," I heard Eric call to me, then I realised he had been calling my name for some time.

"Wow,"

"Wow?" he repeated.

"Like wow," I laughed like a crazy person. I hated that I thought of Bill at that moment but I did, whatever Bill and I had done wasn't that, in fact I was beginning to think he might have been doing it wrong all along. "Just wow," don't even mention Bobby we all knew he was doing it wrong at least he got an A for effort.

Eric held me close as my heart rate and breathing returned to normal, well normal for a day walking, heart beating Vamp.

"I love you," I kissed him, somehow feeling even closer to him than I had before.

"Sookie, I need to tell you something," Eric murmured, but I could feel from the bond it was important and he didn't know how I would take it.

"What is it?" I couldn't keep the concern out of my voice, I was angry at myself that I instantly thought it must be bad or this is where he broke my heart, betrayed me.

Come on I've been a way a month gotta get my kicks somehow?... Evil cliffy's are so much fun!
