Chapter 37

It was before dawn when Eric woke. He got up, took a shower and dressed. He wanted to get some work in, check his messages and emails before taking Sookie out today. Fangtasia was closed today but tomorrow would be the grand reopening of the bar and he wanted her with him for it. There was different celebrations throughout the week and he knew Sookie would want to attend but he didn't want her to tire herself so he would pick a couple of the nights to take her. Tomorrow was a big deal, there would be a lot of important people there he made sure of it. He wanted to show off his Queen. He went to his office and got busy with work.

Hours went by, he began to feel his children wake, Sookie was up and he smiled. He didn't take his eyes off the screen until he heard the knock on the door. "Eric?" Glancing up he saw Jason standing there with a coffee cup in his hand.

"Come on in Stackhouse." Eric nodded toward the chair in front of him for Jason to sit down.

"I appreciate your help last night." Jason looked into his coffee cup and sat down.

Eric turned and stood up. He sat on the edge of the desk in front of Jason. "Jason, leave this alone for a while. When the time comes things will fall into place." Eric had thought long and hard about what needed to be done. He knew he would help Jason in this situation because he knew how important Jason was to Sookie. She could never stand it if he was hurt or worse.

Jason looked up at Eric. He knew what he was trying to tell him. "Ok, I will take your advice on this Eric, even though I know what needs to be done. I should have just taken care of it last night." He shook his head angry at himself.

Eric just looked at Jason. "Have you checked on Crystal?" Eric planned to call Norris himself later.

"Yeah, she is the same, she barely could talk to me. He almost broke her wind pipe, the fucking bastard." Jason's face was red with anger thinking about it.

"I understand your frustration Jason but Sookie does not need for you to get hurt in all this. I will take care of it, alright?" Jason didn't like it but he accepted Eric's request. He stood.

"Thanks again, I am heading home. I appreciate your help Eric." He nodded to Eric and turned to leave.

Sookie saw Jason coming down the stairs, he looked tired she thought. She waited for him to come down. "Jason, I am sorry about Crystal and the baby. Is there anything I can do?"

He looked at her for a second, he expected her to give him hell about the whole thing, he was relieved. "No sis, you and Eric just being here is enough."

"If you need to talk about it Jason were here. We know what your going through." She waited for him to say something. "Your welcome to stay here as long as you want. You know Johan loves having you around, we all do. I don't want you to get hurt Jason, why don't you stay a couple days just to get your head together."

He walked closer to her and hugged her. "Thanks Sook.I think I would feel home. I love ya for thinking of me though." He let her go. "Don't worry I am not gonna do anything stupid. Eric has already talked to me about that. I would rather the bastard was dead but I am not gonna do it." He kissed the side of her temple and walked out the door. Sookie watched him leave then turned to go into the kitchen.

Eric made a few more calls then headed downstairs, his children were in the living room with Claude Crane. "Crane." Eric looked at Sookie's cousin. Claude nodded to him.

"Ok, cousins, lets go outside and get some work done." He smiled at Lily who helped him take the kids outside. Eric watched his kids begin their lessons.

Sookie came in the room and wrapped her arms around his waist. "Morning handsome." She squeezed him tightly.

He turned to kiss her, she smelled of vanilla and shampoo. His hands ran up and down her arms. "Sookie, you smell wonderful." She giggled.

"Thank you sweetie. Are you ready to go yet?" She smiled up at him.

"Well, I think that we are waiting for our friends." Eric grinned down on her and she jumped up on him.

"Really? Amelia is going!" She sounded like Johan when he got excited about something. His face leaned in to kiss her.

"I thought it would make you happy to have her to come with us. Alcide and I can talk business and you both can spend all of our money. What do you think?" He started kissing her on her neck. He was teasing her and she giggled.

She turned her head to his ear. "If I wasn't dressed and we didn't had to go I would show you how much I appreciate you, maybe a little kiss for gracious plenty would convince you?" She didn't have time to say anything more, he had her in the bathroom next to the kitchen. "Eric! I meant later."

"I believe gracious plenty cannot wait that long." He was grinning and she giggled.

Sookie grabbed the front of his jeans, she squeezed his balls tight and he groaned loudly. She quickly unzipped his jeans and released him. Her hand began to stroke him, he leaned up against the sink and after a few minutes she knelt down to take him in her mouth, his hands went into her hair, guiding her. "Yes, Sookie, that's it, right there." Sookie's pace began to pick up and his grip on her got tighter. His hips were moving in unison with her mouth and she could feel he was ready. His loud groans began as he released in her mouth, she took every drop of him.

She stood up and he was looking down on her with glassy eyes. "Better sweetie?" He grinned at her. She turned to the sink to gargle and he slapped her gently on the ass. "Ok, get your act together, were going shopping." He laughed, turning he cleaned himself up and zipped his pants up. They walked out of the bathroom, Eric was holding her to his side.

"Do you two never give it a rest? You sound like wild animals pawing at each other all the time!" Amelia was smiling at her friends.

"Now, Amelia, look at him. Is he not the hottest piece of ass you have ever seen, well next to Alcide of course." Alcide's mouth fell open, Sookie and Amelia both laughed.

Eric looked down on his wife and stood shocked at her description of him and Alcide. "Sookie, that is Viking sex God, remember." She slapped at him playfully and they headed to the SUV with Mark and Maggie to go shopping.

They drove about ten minutes to Bossier City to the Boardwalk. It had great new shops Sookie loved. Sookie and Amelia were giggling and talking about all the places they wanted to go to. Eric and Alcide just grinned at their wives. "Eric, you better send another car to meet us, these two look like they are ready to go for broke." Amelia who was completely glowing slapped at her husband.

"Alcide, you better stop. I mean it." She was smiling at him rubbing her ever growing belly. She turned to Sookie. "Tomorrow we are going to find out what the baby is. We have been fighting for two months whether we wanted to know, or I should say he's been fighting. I want to know, he thought it would be some great experience to wait and find out when the babies born." She rolled her eyes. "I mean we have a little over months to go but I still need to know. How can I spend all of his money on baby stuff if I don't know what to buy." Everyone laughed. Amelia was beyond rich in her own right, her father was one of the richest and most successful New Orleans businessmen. Amelia's mother was from money too. You would never know her good friend was a woman of great wealth, she just wanted to live her life and do what made her happy. Sookie loved that about her.

Eric looked at her. "I can tell you what you are having." He was completely serious when he said it. Sookie looked up at him. Alcide nodded and Amelia held her breathe. "You are having a son." Alcide grinned ear to ear.

"Eric, how do you know what they are having?" Sookie looked up at Eric shocked.

"Lover, we have been pregnant four times now. I have known what three of the four were. I would have been able to tell what the twins were if my son wasn't as stubborn as his mother." He was right, he had told her their first baby was a boy, he knew the baby they lost was a girl and he knew she was pregnant before they were sure and he knew it was a boy.

"A son?" Alcide pulled a teary eyed Amelia close to him. "A boy? Really?"

"I have no doubt my Were friend. Our new son's will be very close in age will they not? It will be wonderful to see our children grow up together, despite the fact your son will be furry like you." Eric was smiling. "You will see when the doctor confirms it tomorrow."

They pulled into the parking lot and the males helped their spouses out of the SUV. Mark and Maggie fell in line behind the group. They started at one end of the boardwalk and hit each store. Sookie and Amelia spent tons of time in Carter's and Osh Kosh B'Gosh buying tons of new things for the babies in each.

They hit Nike, Sookie loved her little boys in their Nike tennis shoes. She picked up four new pairs a piece for each of the boys in various colors and two for Erika, one in pink and one in red.

Eric pulled Sookie into the diamond jewelry store with Alcide and Amelia behind them. Eric picked out a gorgeous pair of diamond and ruby earrings, she gave him a hard time about them but he said they were a just because gift, she rolled her eyes at him. Alcide bought Amelia a diamond bracelet that had gorgeous emeralds in it. He helped her put it on before they left the store.

They went to Children's Place they picked out some items they would order on line because of the size of the items. There just wasn't enough room for the items during this trip they ladies decided.

Sookie pulled Eric into Guess to buy him some underwear with the bands on it so when he wore low riding jeans they would show 'GUESS' across his gorgeous belly. She thought he would be really sexy in them and Amelia totally agreed. Sookie looked at the cute sales girl who was about twenty one when she went up to the counter to pay. She looked at her name tag. "Leslie, wouldn't that guy right over there look amazing in these?" Eric was standing by the door with Alcide and could hear everything she was saying. He grinned at his wife and waited to hear the response. The young woman looked to Eric and she looked back at Sookie. "Hell yeah, he looks like he models for us. Has he?" Sookie looked over at Eric before answering. "He needs to doesn't he. He is nice looking isn't he?" Leslie looked at Sookie grinning. "Nice looking, he is hot. I would do him, definitely." Alcide laughed so hard he had to go outside, Sookie smiled at the girl and paid for her purchases. Eric shook his head and went outside with Alcide.

As they made their way Eric saw the Day Spa and grinned. "Lets all go get a massage." Everyone laughed and followed behind Eric. He went to the counter and asked if it were possible for them to all get massages now. A petite woman of about twenty five smiled and told him of course. "Now, we have two requirements, our wives must only have a woman masseuse and both of our wives are pregnant. Can you accommodate that?" She assured him of course they could. Eric was happy with that. "Good, now we would like the works. My treat." He smiled at the group.

Sookie stood with her hands on her hips and Amelia was about to go off. "Eric, what do you mean we have to have a woman masseuse?" Sookie was shocked.

Eric turned to his wife, his fangs came down and he grinned. "See these two hands lover?" She nodded. "Those are the only two male hands that will ever touch your body and I am sure my good friend over there would agree the same for Amelia." Alcide sat down, he was laughing so hard.

The young lady came and got them. They were two to a room, Eric and Sookie went in one, Amelia and Alcide in the other. The woman told them to get comfortable and someone would be with them shortly. Eric of course stripped his clothes off and waited for Sookie to undress. "Eric? I cant take all my clothes off." She was looking around.

Her husband shook his head at her. "Sookie, let me help you." He had her undressed down to her thong and on the table before the two females entered the room.

"Hi, I am Tasha and this is Emily. We will be doing your massage today. Please, relax." Eric hopped on the table and grinned like nothing she had ever seen. Not only did she get a female, he did too. He was a sneaky thing she thought.

"Paybacks are a bitch husband." Sookie gave him a evil look until the girl started the massage. Eric turned his head to watch his wife the entire time, he smiled at her and reached to take her hand. She was relaxed and almost asleep by time they were done. Sookie was smiling and Eric was thrilled.

When they were done they walked back to the chaired area, Amelia was on Alcide's lap and were making out like teenagers. "Why is you two are always pawning at each other like wild animals? Hum?" Eric threw Amelia's words back at her. She giggled and kissed her husband again.

"Eric, if I wasn't married to this man I would jump your bones. Any man that gives me a massage like that deserves some form of repayment!" She walked to him and kissed him on the cheek. He threw his head back laughing and Sookie squeezed his hand. He was too sweet she thought.

"Are you ladies getting hungry?" They both said they were. "Mutt, any idea where we should go?"

"Oh, yeah, lets go get a big juicy steak up the boardwalk here, they cater to the fanged now too." They went to the Salt Grass Steakhouse. They took a table so everyone could sit together, even Mark and Maggie, and they had a fantastic lunch. Everyone ate like they were half starved, Eric had two True Bloods. Eric ordered big pieces of chocolate mouse cake for them to split. Mark and Maggie said they weren't about to eat that junk, to go ahead and enjoy it. Eric told the server to just bring two. Sookie's eyes got huge when the plates were dropped off. "Eric, I can't eat this by myself. Amelia has Alcide to help her eat it."

He looked at her. "I will try a bite." She shook her head and Alcide cleared his throat.

"Sweetie, you cant eat this. You will get sick." She pulled the plate closer to her.

"Alright then, you eat and I will kiss you, it will result in the same effect." She took a big bite and he leaned over to kiss her.

His lips licked the chocolate off her lips and tongue and he smiled. "Tastes almost as good as you do." He winked and Amelia almost spit water out of her mouth. Eric kissed her with every bit she took, the chocolate on his tongue was amazing. He was pushing his tolerance for human food he thought but felt great. He enjoyed the cake and the kisses.

When the bill came Alcide and Eric fought over who was paying. "Eric, touch that bill and I will make Sookie a widow, I mean it." He growled at Eric before Eric handed the bill to Alcide who handed his credit card to the server. Sookie and Amelia laughed, Mark just rolled his eyes.

"I have another place I would like to go to if you ladies are up to it." Sookie looked at Amelia who shrugged. "Good. I wanted to see what this place is like, if it is safe I want to bring the kids back, maybe this weekend." Sookie's curiosity was up now. They walked hand and hand to Uncle Bucks Alligator Bayou. Each took a spot at the fence and watched the alligator wranglers feed the gators and give the spectators tons of information on the creatures. Sookie and Amelia were talking amongst themselves having a great time. Eric was pleased, it looked harmless enough, he and Sookie would bring Johan and the twins here. His oldest son would love this.

"Eric, thanks for this today. You have really made Amelia's day." Alcide slapped Eric on the back.

"Yes, I believe we all have had a great time. It is nice to have some fun. I need to give my family more of this. I have lived a long time, my children won't be little forever. Johan is so big now, Enar is trying to walk and my little Princess, I just don't know what I am going to do when she gets bigger. I want them to stay small forever." Eric looked out at the crowd, he looked melancholy.

Alcide turned to the pin of alligators. "You have great kids, a beautiful and loving wife in Sookie, you have really hit the jackpot. Your kids are magical Eric. Have you ever found out if they will be like the Fae? You know, their life spans?"

Eric had thought of that. "I need to but part of me is concerned about the answer. I buried three children in my human life, I do not know I want to outlive my children this time. They mean too much to me, they all do." He turned to look at Sookie who was laughing at something she and Amelia were talking about.

"It is always better to informed Eric, even if it is hard to take." Alcide was going to change the subject. "We better get these girls home, Amelia is going to wear herself out if we don't." Eric agreed and they went to collect their wives to head home.

Eric had Mark take Amelia and Alcide home first, Eric and Mark helped the couple get their purchases in the house. When they said their goodbyes Eric climbed in the SUV and closed the door. Sookie moved to straddle him. "Thank you for today Eric. You are more than I deserve." She kissed his lips soft at first but then deepened the kiss. Her hands went around his neck to pull him closer. Eric's hands went to her jean clad hips, his hands pulling her closer onto his lap. Their tongues were twisting, his fangs were scrapping her lips. They could taste her blood between them. The car stopped in front of the house but they didn't move to get out. Mark and Maggie got out and left them alone. Neither Sookie or Eric even noticed they were gone. Eric's hand moved up her shirt, then under her bra. His fingers were pinching her nipples. He left one hand on her breast, the other he moved down into her jeans, sliding his hand down the front of them. She moved her hips forward so he would have better reach. Sookie wanted to feel him, he hands went under her lap and undid his button of his pants then the zipper. She moaned and her head went back when she could feel his cock in her hands. Eric pushed her up and pulled her jeans down around her knees. With one yank her thong was gone, she giggled against his neck. His hands guided her hips onto his long, rock hard shaft. Sookie cried out when she took him inside her. "Oh, God Eric." Her hips began to rise and fall, Eric's eyes closed, he put his head back onto the seat, he was grunting. Sookie leaned forward and caught his lips in her teeth. "You feel so good inside me Eric, oh so good."

Eric hand went under her to stroke her nub but she moved it away, she wanted to just feel him inside her. He smiled up at her as she rocked against him. Eric thrust up against her with every downward push she made. She wanted to keep a steady pace but Eric needed her so badly he began pumping harder taking control. His eyes looked at her face, her hair was falling in her face and she leaned down each time. His mouth went to her breast, his tongue teasing her then he softly nibbled until her moans made him bite down, she screamed and her head went back, he grinned against her warm skin taking in her blood as fast as it would flow into his mouth. Finally when he had enough he closed the wound. Eric's steady pace never wavered, Sookie was panting, he knew that pant, she was almost there, Eric's eyes closed, he would come with her. He ripped his arm open and put it to her mouth and as she sucked his blood she began to climax, her body rocked against his as she cried against his skin. Eric opened his eyes and followed her to completion. He growled and her arms went around his neck, her head falling forward. She was panting against him. His hand went under her, her fold were so wet he used her juices and rubbed her clit hard and really fast, she moved against his hand, her head still on his shoulder. She whispered against his ear. "Oh, oh, yes, yes, oh God Eric. Please don't stop. Pleassssseeee." Her body convulsed to another orgasm. She fell against him breathing hard.

Eric rubbed her back until her heart beat slowed down. "You are amazing my wife. How I got so lucky I do not know." His teeth bit her skin on her shoulder, he didn't break the skin but his teeth and fangs left a mark on her. She giggled against him.

"I told you paybacks were a bitch. I believe you deserved a little gift for how great today was. Today was one of the most fun days we have spent together in a long time, just being us, laughing and enjoying each other and our friends. I had a great time. Thank you Eric." She kissed him softly on the lips.

"Yes, we need to make time for more days like today do we not? We need to live our lives and I want to make more time for us and time with our children." He looked her in the eyes. He meant what he said.

She smiled at him. "I would love that. I know we have responsibilities to the supernatural world but we have a responsibility to our kids too. We brought them into the world, I want to show them the world too. You have been around for a long time, seen so many things, I would love it if you would share some of that with us."

He felt like weeping, his wife was so giving, she didn't have a clue how much he appreciated what she said to him. "Yes, we do don't we. Lets make plans to take the kids on a trip. It doesn't matter where we go, we could go to Disneyland for all I care, just that we take our children."

Sookie giggled at him. "Why don't we start with the zoo this week and we will work up to Disneyland ok?"

"Whatever my wife wants." He began getting them redressed so they could go into the house. Sookie giggled at how she just jumped on his lap and didn't care who heard or saw. She had come a long way she thought. He stopped her before she opened the car door. "Would you be ok with us taking Johan to the reopening of Fangtasia tomorrow?"

Sookie looked at him for a minute. "You want to take him tomorrow night?"

"Yes, he is a Prince Sookie. I would like to introduce him to some of the important beings that will be at the party tomorrow." Eric sat still.

"Eric, it is so late at night and he is just a baby. Do you think its safe to let them see him?" She was worried about this.

"He is part of this world Sookie. I want to teach him early about this life, it will be good for him to begin his role in our world. I would never let anything happen to him." He gave her the Sheriff of Area 5 look.

"Ok, if you think it is safe. He will have to have a nap late or he will be miserable." She would trust him on this. Eric would never do anything to hurt their kids, she knew that. It was just everyone else around them she was worried about.

When they were presentable they went into the house. Lily was sitting in the living room with Johan, the twins were in the portable crib sleeping. Johan climbed off Lily's lap to run to his parent. Eric caught him mid stride. "Hello my Prince. Did you have a good day?"

Johan smiled and hugged Eric around the shoulders. "Yes daddy, I missed you and mommy." He hugged Eric again.

"We missed you too. Tomorrow night mommy and daddy have a party to go to at work. Do you want to go with us?" Eric rubbed his son's back.

His little face was almost nose to nose to Eric's. "Daddy! Yea! I get to go?" He squirmed down and rushed to Sookie.

She laughed and picked him up. "Hi baby."

He looked at her serious. "Mommy, I am not a baby. Enar and Gunnar are babies. I am a big boy."

She looked to Eric who just shrugged his shoulders not sure where he was getting it from. Lily laughed at him. "Claude. He told Johan he is the big brother and his little brothers and Erika are the ones he is supposed to look out for."

"That fairy is always a pain in my ….." Sookie looked down on Johan who was just about to correct her. "Never mind. Johan, you will always be mommy's baby. You were the first baby mommy had. Mommy will always call you that."

Johan just rolled his eyes and squirmed down again. He went to the floor where his book was and opened it up to read.

"How were they today Lily?" Eric looked at her smiling about his son.

She smiled at them and looked past Eric to see Mark coming in the door. "They were great. Erika was a bit fussy. Her teeth are bothering her. The doctor came by because Claude called her. He thought something was wrong with her. Dr. Ludwig slapped him upside his head. That was worth its weight in gold, let me tell you." Every one laughed at the thought of the tiny doctor smacking Claude. "She gave me a vial to put on her gums. I did, I hope that's ok."

Sookie went to look at her sleeping twins. "That's fine. She gave Johan the same stuff when he was teething. You did just fine." Sookie turned and smiled at her. "You can go ahead and go see Mark, I will get them fed and ready for dinner." Lily got up and went to find Mark.

"I just do no see what she see's in that man." Eric growled.

"What are you talking about? He is handsome, funny, and he is great at what he does. Mark works hard, knows what he wants and tells it like it is. You just don't like him because he stands up to you." She frowned at him.

"No, he is egotistical, rude and sticks his nose in where it doesn't belong. You think he is handsome?" It took him a minute to realize she had said it.

She laughed. "Eric, he is handsome. Not Eric Northman, Guess underwear handsome, but yes, I do."

Eric laughed. "You need a spanking wife. One of these days you will get the spanking of a life time."

"I believe the only time you are spanking me is for fun hubby." She stuck her tongue out and went to pick up a whimpering Enar. She walked him to Eric and handed him his son. "Take your son and change him please." She turned and he grabbed her arm. He pulled her to him and kissed her. "Get Eric." She laughed and went to get Erika.

After the twins were changed they met up in the dining room for dinner. Sergio and Trish had the table set and the food was on the table. Eric took the twins to feed, Sookie set Johan up in his chair, arranged his food and cup for him and let him dig in. They ate, laughed, talked. Sookie was so thrilled, they were getting into a rhythm now, breakfasts and dinners they had every day together. "Eric, I appreciate you rearranging your schedule to come and have breakfast and dinner with us. It means a lot to me and I think its good for the kids that we do this as a family. I know we can't always but when were home it makes me happy that you do."

He leaned over and kissed her tasting the butternut squash she had just eaten. "I thought it was a good idea. I am glad your pleased my love. I want to spend as much time as I can with all of you. I have pushed as much as I can back to make time to be together. I can not always do that but when I can I will be here with you like this."

She smiled and finished her dinner. They took the kids outside after dinner to look up at the stars. Eric had Enar and Johan in his arms and was telling his sons how to find their way home by looking at the stars. Sookie had Erika on her lap talking sweetly and softly to her in her ear about Princes, love and how lucky she was to have found her Prince. She told her to never give up on her dreams, to never let anyone tell her she was anything less than amazing. Sookie told her daughter to reach for the stars, to remember her daddy showing her those stars and to always keep her hand up grabbing them. Sookie told her daughter she and her siblings were special gifts, gifts Eric had given her. She wanted her daughter to know to never be ashamed of her magic, to use it wisely and be proud of what she was given. Erika never made as sound the entire time. She listened to what her mother said and when Sookie was done her little head went back to her mothers shoulder. Sookie could feel her daughter heard her, understood what she was telling her. Erika was giving her mother love and strength.

Eric turned around to look at his wife, she was so pretty, his daughter was too. "Ladies, are we ready to take these sleepy boys in the house to sleep?" Sookie stood and they took the kids to put to bed. When the last child was in their bed Eric grabbed her around the waist and carried her down the stairs again. She put her head on his shoulder. He put her on the couch, went to start a fire and turned off all the lights. When the fire was going he walked to the couch, she sat up and he slid in behind her. His hands wrapped around her, resting on her belly. "I feel him. Can you feel him my love?"

She turned slightly to look at him. "Yes, I can. I knew we would have him, but after we lost our daughter I was so scared Eric. You know what a hard time I had losing her. I didn't know if I could love another child, I knew I was being selfish, we have three. That should have been good enough, you know." She sighed relaxing at the sound of the logs crackling. " I can feel him, I know he is in there and getting bigger. I love him already."

"I wish every day could be like today, a perfect day. Sometimes I think I should pack you and the children, move far away from here. I could take you to my homeland, we have property there. Go anywhere just to keep us like this." He put his cheek next to hers and kissed the side of her face.

"I couldn't let you do that Eric. You have worked so hard, you have accomplished so much. I know you wouldn't want to just walk away from it." She put her hand on his on her belly.

He hugged her tighter. "I would give it all up in a minute Sookie. I have lived like this for a thousand years, watching my back, looking over my shoulder. I turned Pam to curb my loneliness, which she is a good child but it didn't fill what I was missing. That was you and now our children. I would leave it all if you wished it of me."

"You would want to leave Eric? Leave it all behind?" She couldn't believe he would want that.

"Yes, if it meant us being happy, not having to worry about our safety. Our children could grow up happy, I would leave tonight." He sounded so sincere.

"Are you asking me Eric? Or is this something you just wanted to put out there?" She turned to look him in the eye.

"Both. Don't answer me, think about it. If the time comes I will ask you again. I want you to be prepared." He smiled at her.

"Ok, I will think about it." She bit her lip. Sookie never thought leaving all this behind was an option. She thought she would live this life with him here, forever. She put her head on his chest, he adjusted to let her get more comfortable and she closed her eyes.

He kissed the top of her head telling her how much he loved her. She gently fell asleep. He whispered to her. "I will do everything to keep us like this Sookie. You and my children give me reason to live." He held her while she slept, when he finally moved to take her to bed her sleepy eyes opened.

"I am sorry sweetie, did I fall asleep?" She yawned.

"Yes, angel, you did. Come, lets get you up to bed. We have a big day tomorrow." He smiled at her lightly kissing her neck.

"Eric?" She whispered to him.

She rubbed his strong hands that were still on her belly. "Yes, my love."

"Make love to me." She turned slightly to him.

Eric growled softly, he stood and held his arms open for her and she stood. His arms went around her. His lips kissed her neck, her face, her lips. He pulled her close and she jumped up, his hands went under her behind to hold her to him. Slowly he walked up the stairs to their bedroom, his lips never left hers. They removed each others clothes, Eric gently laid his wife on the bed. He knelt between hers, his face moved to hers. "I love you Sookie." She smiled up to him. His lips gently kissed hers, his tongue, his fangs met her kisses, soft and giving. Eric took his time, slowly he moved putting kisses all over her body, his hands touching every part of her body with the slightest touch. The bond they had twirling around them, it was full of love, want, comfort. Eric moved her legs up to rest on his shoulders, slowly he entered her, her body meeting his. Everything he did to her was gentle, he wanted her to feel the love he had for her, he needed to feel it from her. There were no screams, no crying out tonight. Sookie closed her eyes as the feelings of her husband slowly moving inside her as it overwhelmed her, his hand moved to her face, he gently caressed the side of her face, her neck. Sookie's arms went around his neck, her legs came down to wrap around his waist. They were chest to chest, Eric's body keeping the pace of their joining. Sookie panted almost silently with every thrust of her husbands shaft inside her. Eric's eyes never left her face, this woman was his life line, his soul. He felt the love she had for him, she gave him every ounce of it in that moment. Sookie put her head on his shoulder, her head turned to kiss his neck, his chin, his earlobe. They spent hours loving each other completely and gently until the two peaked and climaxed quietly against each other. Sookie wrapped her arms tighter around her husband when she came, their eyes looking into their mates. Gently Eric laid her back and hovered over her. Sookie's eyes could barely stay open. "Sleep my love." She shook her head no, she wanted to savor the feeling of love and the connection she had with him. He smiled down on her, he knew what she was feeling and thinking, he felt it to. He rolled over taking her with him, their bodies chest to chest.

She laid her head on his chest. "I adore you Eric. You make me so happy."

He softly laughed. "You too my love." She yawned again and he felt her relaxing to sleep. He pulled the covers up their body and the warmth helped lull her to sleep. He rubbed her back lightly for a while before he finally followed her to sleep.
