Chapter 25

Eric drove home Monday, anxious to see Sookie. He knew she'd gone to the hospital to see Victor and that she was on the way home, but he'd missed her, he'd not seen her since that morning, when they separated at the office.

They were going to meet the real estate agent tomorrow afternoon, there were some houses in Great Falls he wanted to look at. He wanted to stay in the suburbs of DC, near his office. The agent had sent him some listings for a few places in DC, but he just wasn't happy at the thought of living so far in the city.

Parking in his garage, Eric almost ran downstairs, using his key to let himself in the apartment "Hello" he called out, walking through the door.

"Hello" Sookie answered from the kitchen

"Meow" answered Bella from the back of the living room couch, looking at him expectantly.

Eric dropped his bags by the door and paused to pet Bella's head, earning him a purr of approval, before walking into the kitchen to catch Sookie in her nightgown at the stove cooking dinner.

Wrapping his arms around her waist, Eric squeezed, pressing his lips to her hair "I missed you today" he said softly

Sookie smiled and leaned into him for a moment, before turning around and facing him "I missed you today, how was your day?" she asked softly, pressing her lips to his.

Bella interrupted them, wrapping herself around his legs with a loud "Meow"

"It was good, but it sounds like someone is hungry" he said laughing

"She is starving you know, very neglected" Sookie smiled at him, watching as he opened a can of soft food for the cat.

Setting it down, Eric walked to the bedroom, pulling his shirt out and unbuttoning it as he walked.

"How is Victor?" Eric called

"He's better, they are talking about sending him home this coming weekend" Sookie answered from the doorway. She was trying not to drool at the sight of Eric shirtless.

Eric smirked at her, almost knowing the affect he was having on her, as he stepped out of his shoes, his hands on his pants.

"How was the meeting?" Sookie asked, attempting to focus on something other than Eric.

"I decided a no bid, they wanted too risk an insane amount of money with no return on investment, I made an executive decision and I am sure you will hear all about it later" he smirked at her, stepping out of his pants, tossing his socks into the dirty clothes hamper as he walked to the closet to hang his pants.

Eric stood in front Sookie, wearing his gray boxer briefs. Stepping towards her, Eric arched an eyebrow "You seem distracted Sookie" he breathed in her ear.

"Nnno" she stammered, trying to turn but finding herself held hostage by a set of arms "I need to finish dinner" she whispered as her head fell back onto his shoulder.

Eric kissed the side of her neck, working towards her ear as he whispered "I don't think you are worried about dinner Sookie"

"I can't exactly think when you are doing that" she answered as her hands reached behind her body, holding his legs, as his hands pulled her nightgown up, cupping her breasts.

"What are you talking about?" he whispered

"Eric" she moaned as his fingers pinched her nipples. "Damnit….so good…" she said, sucking her bottom lip into her mouth attempting to keep her moan quiet.

"Sookie" he whispered

"What?"

"I bet, if I reach down between those lovely legs of yours, to that beautiful pussy, I am gonna find it very wet, aren't I?" Eric whispered

"Oh God"

"You like being a bad girl don't you?" Eric said in her ear "You like it when I talk that way don't you"

His left hand left her breast, trailing down her stomach, the tips of his fingers trailing on her skin.

"Put your hands on the wall, and don't move them" he told her as his right hand moved down her body. His left hand was on her left thigh and his right hand on her right thigh, his hands stroked her skin lightly, moving up and down her legs, getting closer but never quite touching her where she wanted it most.

Sinking to his knees behind her, Eric playfully nipped at her cheeks, eliciting a moan from deep within her. Forcing her legs wide apart with an arm, his hands switched thighs, his right hand on her left thigh and his left hand on her right thigh as he started kneading the flesh. Sitting between her legs, Eric kissed up the inside of her left thigh, breathing on her flesh as he moved up

"Sookie?" he said

"Eric"

"You're not wearing any panties" he stated, breathing out across the curls of her mound without touching her

"No" she whimpered

"What a naughty naughty girl I have" he said, still breathing on her skin

"uh-huh" she answered

"What should I do with my naughty girl?" he asked, his tongue tracing circles on the skin above her curls

"ericcccc" she whimpered

"How should I punish you Sookie?"

"Oh God Eric"

"I have to do something Sookie" Eric teased her breathing his hot breath across her mound "I need to make sure I show you what happens to naughty girls" he said

"How?" she asked

"I think I have an idea" Eric said, his tongue finally touching her nether lips, separating them as he flattened it, seeking her nub.

"YESSS" she cried out, her back arching, her head falling back as she yelled at the ceiling

After moving his tongue back and forth for a moment, Eric slid a hand up her thigh, sliding a finger deep inside her. Pulling his head back he spoke

"So wet for me Sookie…that pussy is so wet lover….I'm gonna have to make sure we teach you a lesson you don't forget"

"Eric, please….don't…..stop" she begged as she felt his tongue return to her nub, she felt him suck it into his mouth as she struggled to remain standing "Sooo good" she cried out as he slid another finger into her, he began curling them as he was thrusting.

Grazing his teeth on her clit, Eric moaned, knowing the affect he was having on her as he felt her walls tighten on his fingers, milking them. He felt her body shake above him, as her cries got deeper and louder, "I'm ….. I'm….. gonna…..o god…I'm cuming Eric YESSSS!" she cried out.

Eric let her ride out the orgasm before standing and picking her up. He set her down on the bed, taking a moment to pull her nightgown off of her and to remove his own boxers before joining her. He kissed her deeply and slid himself inside of her, his hips pressing into her own.

"I've got to go to the doctor" Sookie said, her eyes closed in pleasure

"Shit" Eric said, pulling out of her "I'm sorry Sookie, I don't know why I keep not paying attention" he said, fumbling to reach a drawer in her bed side table.

"No" Sookie said, grabbing his arm "You're fine Eric, don't worry about it now" she demanded "I need to feel you, please"

Eric moaned and rolled back over, sliding inside of her "I'm pulling out" he said "Its immature but I've not been the best at maturity lately" he said as he thrust into her slowly

"Just fuck me" she demanded "I want it and I want it hard Eric Northman, don't you dare pull out of me" she said, squeezing her muscle and earning a groan from Eric as she did so.

"My naughty girl" he moaned as he increased his speed. Pulling her legs up he hooked his arms under he knees and started pounding her as she pushed her hands up under the pillows and against her headboard. "SOOKIE" he yelled as she started clenching him, his seed filling her.

Releasing her legs, Eric settled on the bed, pulling her close to him. "I'm sorry Sookie" he said "I keep acting so irresponsibly" he panted

"My appointment is next week and I'm not fertile this week, I don't think" she replied

"You don't think?" he asked laughing

"Everyone I've talked to says its almost impossible to know for sure, so I'm not sure" she said.

"When was your last period?" he asked softly

"Eric!" she answered her face turning bright red

"Sookie, I have a sister and I am a sexually active male, did you think I didn't know about periods and fertility?" he asked smiling as Sookie buried her head in a pillow.

"Well…no…but I didn't expect to discuss my time with you" Sookie mumbled through the pillow.

"Sweetheart?" Eric said, pulling the pillow from her face, his eyes meeting her "Sookie you realize I am going to figure these things out" he said gently "Its going to be evident when it happens"

Sookie's eyes grew wide and her face bright red again. "It was before you were here" she whispered.

"I got here 3 weeks ago Sookie" Eric stated, "Are you late Sookie?" he asked quietly

"I don't want to talk about this Eric" Sookie said trying to get up off the bed "dinner" she said grabbing a robe as she ran to the kitchen.

"Sookie" Eric called out "We need to talk about this" he said, pulling on his pajama pants and walking into the kitchen. "Sookie" he said, wrapping his arms around her "sweetheart, are you late?" he asked

"Eric, please, let's just figure out dinner" she said refusing to look at him. "I need to run" she said, moving back to her bedroom. Closing her bathroom door, she pulled on the workout clothes she kept behind it.

Eric followed her back to the bathroom and was sitting on the bed as she came out, "Sookie, we have to talk about this" he told her "I need to know" he took her hands in his, pulling her close. "Please, talk to me" he begged "Let me in, talk to me about this"

Sookie shuffled her feet, moving her weight between her feet, unable to stand still. "I…..I….I don't want to talk about this Eric, I need to run" she said quietly squeezing his hand.

"No" Eric said "You are not running from me, we are going to discuss this Sookie if you are late, I need to know, and if you are late, that means you are pregnant with our baby, and I'm not letting you run until you see a doctor, and you are also not taking anymore of the Ambien" Eric told her firmly.

"Eric, you do not get to tell me what to do" Sookie told him, releasing his hand "I am not discussing this right now, because I don't know"

"You don't know if you are late?" Eric asked her, his eyes narrowing

"No, I didn't mark the last time I …. Did" Sookie said, rolling her eyes "I normally keep track of it and I didn't mark it on my calendar so I don't know exactly when, but I didn't want to say anything til I had an answer. Why even discuss this until I know what the hell is going on?" she turned then, heading for the door, when Eric grabbed her arms and pulled her into him.

"I meant what I said Sookie, you are doing nothing to risk your health until we know for sure, I was an irresponsible prick, not following my own rules about protection, but I am not going to fail you, and our potential child with more stupidity. You will not be running or taking anymore of your prescription, not until you can prove you aren't pregnant"

Sookie sighed in anger. "Eric –"

"No, now, have you taken a home pregnancy test?" he asked her

Sookie shook her head, "No"

"Alright, I can run out now, or you can get one tomorrow" Eric said

"Eric, I just need to slow this down" Sookie said pulling away from him "I know you want to know, but you don't want this baby, and I'm just not sure I can think straight right now, can we please talk about this tomorrow?"

"No" Eric said "We are discussing this Sookie, do you think you are pregnant?" he asked his eyes wide in surprise

"I don't know" Sookie insisted

"Why would you think I don't want this baby?" Eric asked

"We aren't married, Felicia, you don't want that one…." Sookie said her voice trailing off "I'm just not sure" she said, her arms wrapping around her tummy "I can't get rid of it Eric, I won't. If I am I mean, I won't end this pregnancy"

"Sookie, stop" Eric said as she started pacing "If you are pregnant, I want this baby, I would never make you get rid of it. This mess with Felicia is a mess, but I am fairly certain she isn't pregnant"

Eric stood up and put his arms around Sookie, forcing her to stand still "If you are pregnant, Sookie, I want this baby, I want you, I am marrying you…remember? We didn't plan for this, but sometimes life happens, you cannot plan your entire life in a daytimer"

Sookie smiled, remembering Gran's words to her not that long ago. "I know, but I just don't know how this is going to affect us Eric, we aren't married and I could be pregnant"

"Sookie, I will marry you tomorrow if you want, will that make you feel better? We can run to Vegas and elope, I don't care, I figured you would want a wedding with a dress and your friends and family?" Eric asked.

"I do, at least with Gran and Jason" Sookie said, rubbing her forehead with her hand "But Eric…I just don't know what to think, I don't want you to think I'm like Felicia. I don't want you pressured into something you don't want. I don't want you to wake up in 10 years and say you've made a terrible mistake, and that you don't love me"

"Sookie, please listen to me on this, I will want you, I love you" he spoke gently, his hand running down to her belly "And if we have a baby in there right now, I want it to, even if we didn't plan it. I want you in whatever way I get you and I want you happy, if you want to stay home and have 20 kids, I am ok with that, as long as you are happy Sookie, if you want to work, I'm ok with that too, we will figure this out as we go, that's part of the plan"

"I have to work Eric, I don't know how much you make but we will need the money if we are having a baby" Sookie said laying her head on his shoulder.

"Sookie, we need to talk about this too, I was going to have this conversation later, but I need you to know, we are not going to be hurt for money Sookie, you could have 20 kids and I would be able to support them all, effortlessly. My parents left Pam and I a very large amount of money and property, we will not want for anything … ever" he told her, rubbing his hands up and down her back "Why don't you get comfortable, and I'll figure out what to do for dinner?"

Eric smiled at her as she nodded and grabbed her nightgown off the bathroom floor. Walking towards the kitchen, he sighed running his hands through his hair. 'I'll be a Dad' he thought to himself.

The thought hit him like a ton of bricks 'I'll be responsible for a baby. My son or daughter, a child….with Sookie' he realized. He was standing in the middle of the kitchen then, looking around and seeing nothing.

Sookie walked out then, and found him standing in the kitchen, walking up behind him, she wrapped her arms around his waist and pressed her head into the middle of his back "I love you" she whispered.

"I love you Sookie" he said, wrapping his arm around her and pulling her close to him "What do you want to eat?" he asked

Sookie let go of him then and moved towards the fridge, "I'm not very hungry, what do you want?" she asked

"Want me to go grab take out?" he offered

"I have some lunch meat, want to split a sandwich?" she offered. At his nod, she grabbed the items from the fridge and piled on the last of the lunch meat and cheese.

"Can you live without mayo? I hate it" she told him

"You're from Louisiana and you hate mayo?" he asked, shocked

"I'm probably the only southern woman that can say that, but yes I hate mayo, its almost a mild allergy, it makes me sick" she told him, giggling.

"I don't care one way or the other, whatever you want" he told her smiling at her.

Sookie cut the sandwich in half and set it on a paper towel and grabbed a bag of chips and walked to the table.

"What do you want to drink?" Eric asked her "no caffeine this late" he said

"Milk is fine" she said with a sigh

"Got it" he told her, grabbing two glasses from the cabinet and filling them with the last of her milk.

"I need to go to the store tomorrow" Sookie told him

"Why don't you go in early and go on the way home? That way you can get out early before traffic is bad and the store is swamped" Eric offered

"I might take you up on that" Sookie smiled at him.

"When is your appointment? I want to go with you" Eric told her

"I am going to call tomorrow and see if I can get in earlier, I'll let you know" Sookie told him taking a bite of her half of the sandwich.

Eric nodded and flipped on the TV then, finding the business channel and watching.

"Oh God" Sookie said with a laugh "Any more shocking news and I am baning TV from our home"

It wasn't long before they crawled into bed and fell asleep, wrapped around each other.
