Here I just have two little things to say … firstly, I am sorry about the length of this, but when I tried to expand it, it just wasn't happening, and secondly, I am sorry about my review replies lately. I will try to get better at replying.

Disclaimer: Not Mine

Enjoy!

"So … Eric?" I asked.

"Yes, lover?" he replied easily as he put some milk into the fridge.

"I was thinking about the pregnancy today. About Little Baby Northman." I said, unsure of how exactly I was going to say this.

"What about him?" Eric asked.

"Oh.. Are you sure that we are going to have a son?" I teased him.

"I am 100% positive lover. But what was it that you were thinking about today?" he queried.

"About when we should tell my family and friends" I said.

"Lover … I am leaving that entirely up to you" he said.

"I want you to be there when I tell them because you are my husband therefore you are part of my family. I want to share that with you" I said, and Eric nodded.

"Why don't we just get them all over here for dinner tomorrow night?" he asked.

"Excellent idea, Eric … but won't this place be too small for everyone to fit?" I said, surveying the room.

"Don't worry about that, there should be more than enough room in here for everyone" he disagreed.

"Who were you thinking of inviting, Sookie?" Elizabeth asked as she entered the room.

Damn vampire hearing.

"Um … Gran, Jason, Tara and Lafayette" I answered.

"Cool" she said.

"And you thought that this house was too small!" Eric said, shaking his head.

"But with Gran, Jason, Tara, Lafayette, Godric, Elizabeth, Pam and Daniel, plus you and me, that makes ten people!" I defended myself.

Eric just raised his eyebrow at me.

I pointedly ignored him.

"So what are we doing tonight?" Pam asked, coming into the room.

"Well we need to call both the magister and the Authority to request a meeting with them." Eric said.

"And I need to prepare for tomorrow night" I said.

"What's happening tomorrow night?" Godric asked as he and Daniel sauntered into the room.

"Tomorrow night is when we tell everyone in Sookie's family and circle of friends that she is pregnant. We have decided to fill everyone in in recent happenings over dinner tomorrow night. Everyone needs to be there no excuses" Eric said, glaring at Pam in a commanding voice.

"So, I need to go straight back to the supermarket?" I said, disbelievingly.

"No, lover. Just use the online store for it. And that reminds me of another thing that you need to do lover. You need to select your own personal staff, and the staff for the household." Eric said.

"But I don't need any personal staff!" I pouted.

"Lover … I mean along the lines of chef, cleaner, housekeeper, because once you are officially recognised by both the Authority and the Magister as my Queen, your workload will dramatically increase, even though you are pregnant and I will try to do as much as I can for you, but you will still have a lot of work to do" Eric said, and immediately my earlier argument of how being pregnant didn't mean that I was disabled came to my mind.

I forced myself to swallow that thought – Eric was only trying his hardest to look after me and to protect me.

"So, now that we know what is happening tomorrow night, what is happening tonight?" Daniel asked by way of changing the subject.

Erm … tonight I need to phone the magister and the Authority to start the whole process our our ascension." Eric said after a pause. "And I could also do with heading back to Fangtasia later on."

"Wont the Authority already know that we are King and Queen?" I asked, figuring that they would already know of everything that had happened here recently, since Nora is a member of the Authority.

"Why do you say that, lover?" Eric asked.

"Isn't Nora a member of the Authority?" I questioned.

"Ah. So you figure that she has told them by now?" Godric figured out. I nodded by way of reply.

"Even if Nora has told the other members of the Authority of our ascension to King and Queen of Louisiana, it is still best if I tell them too. If I don't it will appear to them as if I am hiding it." Eric said gently to me.

"Of course" I said. "Do you want me to come with you to Fangtasia?"

"Only if you want to, lover. But don't feel as if you are under any sort of obligation to go. If you would rather stay here, that is fine by me also" he replied.

"Nonsense, Eric!" I chided him "I should come with you, and even if I do end up sitting out in the bar at least I am making my presence known, after all, if you can't even make sure that your wife puts in time at the bar, how can you make sure that all of the vampires in the kingdom put in their time at Fangtasia."

"Lover … I don't care what anyone else thinks. You should know that by now" he replied.

"I know you don't care, but it still doesn't change my mind." I said.

"Do you want to make those calls from Fangtasia or from your home office, Eric?" Elizabeth queried.

"I'm gonna make them from home since the chances of the home office being bugged are slim to none" he answered.

"Sure" she replied.

"Do you want us to wait on you, Eric? Or is it alright if we go on?" Pam asked.

"No … you go on and get opened up. I'll come on ahead later" Eric said.

"Are you coming with us, Sookie?" Daniel asked.

"I'll come with Eric, so as I will have a chance to finish putting these groceries away and get something to eat" I answered.

"Alright then … let's go" Godric said, and together the four vampires exited the room.

So … review to let me know what you think, and I apologise in advance for the length of this chapter!
