Sookie ran her finger across his lips and up over the rosy blush that covered his cheeks watching as a single salty tear fell from his eyes Eric was alive warm blooded and beating heart he was alive.

A smile spread across Sookie's face she had dreamt of this moment many times waking up feeling utterly guilty that she could want Eric to be any way other than he was, she loved her vampire Viking but she had always wondered what it would be like to have sex with someone who's body tempter was above ninety degrees. Unsure of how it would feel or if it would affect the way it felt for him Sookie suddenly became nervous as if it was her first time and she was a virgin terrified of the pain that would come with the deflowering when suddenly Eric kissed her and her fears melted away.

"I love you" he whispered pressing his warm body against hers closing the space between them, Eric felt his heart beating in his chest it was pounding with nerves and excitement and he wasn't sure if he should tell her how terrified he was at that moment or if it would ruin it for her to remind her that he hadn't had sex as a human in centuries. Though was confident that as a vampire he was a more than suitable lover he couldn't remember his sex life as a human all that well, Eric took a deep breath before kissing her again pressing his lips against hers trying to ignore the knot in his stomach.

Her reaction to his touch excited him as he moved his lips down her neck dragging his teeth along her flesh out of habit as he caressed her thighs and pressed his growing bulge against her warmth making her shake under his touch, her anxiety growing with every kiss she couldn't bear the anticipation she met his hips with hers wiggling her hips as he grinded. The ache between her thighs was too much something took over her and she found herself reaching between his legs taking his thickness in her hand and stroking as she nibbled on his shoulder hoping he would get the hint and ravish her.

Sookie was use to a cocky Eric who had always taken charge in and out of the bedroom she wanted him to ravish her like he had done many times before, she looked into his eyes the crystal blue she found there was different from before there was a softness that took her breath away. Sookie closer her eyes listening to his breath catch in his throat and his heart start to race, the human sounds Eric was making excited her more than she could have imagined she had never had that effect on a man before and it made her feel powerful and sexy.

Her grip tightened around his member eagerly guiding him toward her warmth she was ready for him and the deeper he breathed the more she wanted him inside of her, Eric's body stiffened shocked by her actions but thoroughly turned on he pressed forward following her lead as she guided him deep inside of her pulsing warmth. Sookie's body jerked as Eric moaned into her ear her warmth felt wonderful around his stiff manhood as he pushed every inch inside, his breath caught in his throat he gripped the sheets around her hesitating to move his human senses intensifying the sensation he hovered inside of her taking it in.

"Eric" she moaned running her tongue along his lips snapping him out of his trance Sookie giggled as she realized he was as nervous as her, pressing his shoulders back she rolled on top of him hoping to ease the nerves both of them were feeling and it worked as she rocked back and forth slowly watching as he bit down on his bottom lip letting her know he was enjoying her. Sookie shook with every movement Eric filling her perfectly as she wiggled her hips making tiny circles as she grinded down on him panting and clawing at his chest, feeling like he was ready to burst Eric gripped Sookie's thighs rolling her onto her back her legs resting on his shoulders.

Sookie gasped and moaned gripped his arms as he pounded into her eager to feel her climax around his manhood, Sookie screamed out gripping his arms digging her nails in as she shook all exciting him again he continued to push deep inside until the two of them collapsed onto each other enjoying the aftershocks of their human love making, "that was" Eric said questioning the experience. "That was Amazing" Sookie blurted out smiling as she watched the relief wash over his face "how was it for you" she asked hoping he was as satisfied as she was, Eric looked up at her brushing the hair away from her face "are you kidding me" he said laughing at the fact that she felt she even needed to ask.

"I am human again and weather it last an hour or a day this is how I want to spend it" he kissed her before rolling onto his side propping himself up on his arm next to her, they laid in bed both silently enjoying the human intimacy that they had never had with each other before Eric drawing tiny circles on her flat stomach as she stroked his hair. "Do you think it worked" Sookie said placing her hand on his chest still amazed by the beating that came from inside, Eric smiled down at her lifting his hand to cup her face and kiss her soft lips before answering.

"Amelia didn't tell me how it would work but I assume it will take a few weeks to find out" Eric said misunderstanding her question, Sookie laughed dropping her head back on the pillow "I know how that works" she said rolling her eyes. Sookie still couldn't believe this was possible she had told herself years ago when she fallen in love with Bill that having children was just something that wasn't in the cards for her and now here she was with her vampire husband raising two children and possible making one of her own, she refused to get too excited about the possibility of a baby but when she was completely honest she couldn't wait to find out if Amelia's spell had worked.

After a few minutes of talking about the future Sookie couldn't help but pull Eric closer and whisper into his ear letting him know she was ready to go again and they did over and over until she passed out both satisfied and exhausted. She had no clue how long she had slept but when woke up rolling over reaching her hand out across the bed searching for Eric she was surprised to not find him there, sitting up rubbing her eyes Sookie realized she was above ground in her bedroom tucked neatly in her bed and her heart sank in her chest as she wondered 'was it all a dream.

Looking out the window the bright orange and pink that cast across the sky told her that it was late and though she thought she spent the better half of her day in bed making love to her now human vampire Viking husband she was left feeling confused and lonely. Positive she had dreamt the whole thing Sookie bounced off to the bathroom for a quick shower before she went off looking for Eric, she washed slowly letting the hot water run over her body as she remembered the warmth of Eric's skin and the beating of his heart against her back as he held her close and she wondered if their sex life would ever be the same.

Sookie was sure she was sexually satisfied by Eric before but earlier that morning she not only enjoyed the sex but the way his body felt against hers and it scared her that she would enjoy Eric being human, what if it changed the way she felt about him Sookie started to panic quickly turning off the shower and searching the house for Eric. She yelled through the house as she checked each empty rooms with no signs of him "Eric" she yelled as he opened the glass doors to find him standing in the back yard watching the sky grow darker, he rushed toward her with a concerned look on his face, "what's wrong" he whispered wrapping his cool arms around her and Sookie looked up at him as she started to cry.

"You're a vampire" she sobbed as Eric looked down at her confused by what she was saying "was it real, was I dreaming" Eric finally understood what she was talking about, once she had fallen asleep after their afternoon of love making Eric had carried her upstairs and tucked her into bed all the while wondering if things would be the same between them after being with him as a human would Sookie still want him as a vampire. Eric pulled her in closer kissing the top of her head and trying to think of the words to explain what both of them were feeling, "Sookie its ok, I know" but her sobs stopped her from hearing his words and she continued to cry into his chest.

Eric held her until she calmed neither of them speaking afraid their words would start the tears again, her sobs quieted and she wiped the last tear from her face letting Eric know it was safe to talk "it was real Sookie and I'm scared too but," Sookie cut him short wrapping her arms around his neck and pressing her lips to his she knew there was only one way to put her fears to rest and as she pushed Eric to the floor grinding on top of him she was determined to do just that. Three hours later Sookie lay smiling up at the ceiling feeling at ease as she stroked the tiny hairs along Eric cool chest "I'm sorry" she said kissing his neck, Eric didn't reply just holding her and knowing she still loved him was enough.

"It's only been nine days" Sookie yelled through the bathroom door at Arlene "well I've seen that shade of green three times in my life and their names are Lisa, Colby and Mikey so take a test already, Sookie had never been pregnant before so she had no clue what she should or would be feeling all she knew was the last four days had been the weirdest of her life. Eric laughed when she ate a whole jar of pickles for breakfast and the girls thought she was sick when she kept falling asleep on their bedroom floor while they were playing and the nausea always came at the weirdest times but the worst thing was the constant need to be close to Eric.

It wasn't her usual wanting him around and it seemed to grow stronger each day, the constant discomfort when the sun was in the sky and he was resting for the day made her feel drained and distracted, Sookie found herself looking for reasons not leave the house and even spent her free time laying in the cellar cuddling up next to his cool body as he rested. She hadn't told Eric about the strange need to be in his presence but he was noticing the not so subtle things like her weird diet and mood swings, everyone had noticed the change in her personality but most stood ignoring her tears of rants while Arlene seemed to the only one calling her out.

"Three days Arlene my doctors apt is in three days she argued back through the door, She wasn't completely against taking a home pregnancy test in fact she had already taken one without telling anyone and as she read the instructions realizing it was negative she cried hysterically in the Wal-Mart bathroom. Even though every sign was there and everyone around her was convinced she was pregnant the test said she wasn't and until she knew otherwise she couldn't stand to disappoint Eric especially since they moved back into her childhood home and Eric had arranged the bedrooms to fit the girls and a new addition.

Sookie tried going on with her day being normal was something she had gotten good at faking in her life but everything in her body wanted to go home and just be near Eric, Sookie watched the clock unable to focus on the paper work that was stacked up in front of her when the smell of cabbage filled the air making the tiny office nearly unbearable. She pushed the papers aside laying her head on her desk preparing to fight off yet another rush of nausea when she felt the buzz of a familiar brain, a knock at the office door confirmed what she thought and the sound of Hattie May's voice was like knives in her ears.

Her eyes drifted to the calendar as she stood heading for the door, it was about this time every month the alcoholic mother of her best friend would show up ranting and raving about her concern for her grandchildren and how they were being raised. Sookie knew the end result was that Hattie was here to ask for money again; somehow Tara's mother felt that when Sookie took on raising the girls she took on supporting her too but today was a bad day and she was definitely not in the mood.

"I'm not giving you cash Hattie so what do you want" her words took the woman by surprise, Sookie normally played along letting her pour out her issues before feeling sorry for her and giving her money to get her out of the bar but the last four days had left her feeling drained and completely out of patients. Hattie disregarded Sookie's warning following her behind the bar stomping her feet and swinging her arms as she went drawing the attention of the entire Bar, "you can't be back here mam" Terri tried to intervene only making things worse.

"You know what I want Sookie I want my granddaughters away from that monster, he has killed my whole family" Sookie turned shocked by her words she stood listening to her rant feeling embarrassed and angry, "Tara wanted me to raise those babies, she wanted them with family not a nut job and her vampire boyfriend." Sookie stared at the woman who had tortured her daughter since birth and her anger started to boil up inside of her, she knew Hattie was a drunk but now she realized she was completely out of her effing mind "shut up" Sookie screamed throwing her hands up and stepping toward the booze soaked big mouth, "I have given you money because I felt sorry for you but I am done" she shoved Hattie toward the door "Tara hated you and if you show your face around here again it won't be the monster who kills you" Sookie slammed the door shut behind her. She kept her back to the bar her mind quickly becoming over loaded by the thoughts of the room behind her and she found herself swooning as another bout of nausea twisted in her gut, Sookie tried to focus she needed her walls up at this moment but no matter how hard she tried the annoying thoughts of the people around her pounded in her mind.

Without thinking Sookie pushed the bar door open stepping out into the warm air hoping for silence and control, she took a few deep breaths as she walked to her car she knew she could handle this she knew that she of she gave herself a few minutes she would be able to go back inside and face the rumor mill again but every nerve in her body ached to be near Eric. Sookie drove down Humming Bird Lane slowly enjoying the warms sun as it filled the car but even that couldn't stop the need for Eric, she jumped from the car key in her hand she rushed into the house stripping away her uniform and climbing into bed with Eric in the light tight room where everything felt right again.
