Chapter thirty-seven
Eric's POV
"Lover, I wish to take you out shopping" I tell her as I walk into the kitchen after just rising. I have spent all week thinking about what we did in Fangtasia, I find that I rather enjoy seeing my Lover dressed up in sexy uniforms as she role plays for me. We could make a weekly habit of it; maybe we could film each one and have our own porno draw. Now that definitely is a thought.
"What are we shopping for?" she inquires as she walks over to me where she passes me a warmed up bottle of True Blood. I notice that she has gained a little bit of weight, but she is just over one month pregnant, which, based on normal human pregnancies, is almost two months pregnant. In less than a month she will have a more visible baby bump, one that I can cherish.
Watching my Lover's stomach get bigger with our children is like a dream come true, one that I will not take for granted. But I still cannot help but wonder how it was even possible for our children to be conceived. That is one mystery that I want solved ASAP, I hate being out of the know.
"I thought we could buy some more of those delicious role playing outfits. I thought that maybe we could make a habit of it, maybe we could role play once a week and film it. Then one day we can watch one of our home made sex video's together" I whisper in her ear seductively before pulling back and downing my True Blood. I find myself more horny than hungry, but the blood should satisfy both needs for now.
"What costumes did you have in mind?" she queries innocently as she grabs her trainers and pulls them on. I follow pursuit and put on my black boots before grabbing my leather jacket that I open up for Sookie to wear. She smiles at me as she accepts my gesture; I enjoy seeing my Lover in my clothing. Anyway, this shows everyone that she is mine; I have allowed her the privilege of wearing my jacket, which is one privilege I want her to have for the rest of our lives.
"I was thinking along the lines of naughty nurse and sexy policewoman" I murmur to her as I guide her out the door.
"Hmm, will I be modelling them for you when we get back home?" she inquires seductively as I help her into the car.
"I would enjoy every second of it if you did" I breathe in her ear before capturing her lips in a kiss. I then pull away and leave her high and dry, she pouts at me but all I do is wink at her as I close her door and walk around to the driver's side. Once I'm settled in I start up the car and start driving towards the shop that Pam tells me sells good quality sexy costumes for bedroom playtimes. I do adore Pam for knowing her shops; although how she knows about this one I will never know. Also, I don't want to know how she knows the owner of the shop so well.
What Sookie doesn't know is that after buying her some costumes, and maybe some sex toys for us to use, I will be taking her to a furniture shop where we will choose the furniture for the babies' room. I will also be taking her to a toy shop so we can choose some teddies and things for our children as well, not to mention blankets and whatever else they may need. Although clothes shopping and diapers for them will have to wait till later on in the pregnancy. When we get to the shop I pull into the parking lot before leading Sookie into the store. When we get inside we are instantly greeted by a woman.
"Ah, you must be Mr Northman! Pam has told me so much about you, now, how can I help you and your wife?" she says wife loosely, obviously not knowing if she has the correct terming or not.
"Me and my bonded are just browsing, if we require your help I will let you know" I inform her as I walk Sookie away from her and over to the clothing rails where I start to look through each costume. Sookie does the same before she brightens up completely.
"What have you found, Lover?" I inquire with a raised eyebrow. She grins at me as she pulls out a sexy red lacy thong and bra set.
"Now what ideas did you have in mind here then?" I probe lightly as I walk over to her and pull her into me, my lips teasing hers; the hand with the lingerie set now lowered.
"I thought I could do something for you, but it will have to be a surprise" she murmurs as she places it into the basket. We spend the next hour just picking out things and placing them into the basket; when we eventually leave we have a car boot full of costumes and sex toys. The toys were obviously chosen by me and approved by Sookie. I will admit that the one I am looking forward to using the most is the PVC bedsheet that will allow us to use oils and lubes. It will also allow us to try any food orientated sex, but I think we will stick to the body oils and lubes for now.
Hmm, I can just imagine us both all oiled up and lube all over my cock; both of us sliding all over each other as we make love. Perfect.
"Where are we going now?" Sookie asks confused as she looks out of the window, blatantly picking up on the fact that we are not going home quite yet.
"I thought we could buy some baby furniture ready for our two miracles. You did say that Alcide was going to be painting the room tomorrow" I remind her.
"He just thinks we're redecorating, he still doesn't know about the babies. We really need to plan a date on telling everyone. We can't just wait until I'm showing before we tell them. Better yet, how are we going to explain that you're the father? You are a vampire and everyone will think that you can't have children, and then everyone will think that I'm a cheater. I can't have everyone thinking that, Eric" Sookie starts to panic, my hand moving to hold hers where I bring her hand up to my mouth. I kiss each knuckle before smiling at her.
"I love you, no one will question my paternity, well, as long as they know what's good for them they won't" I assure her.
I keep Sookie's hand in mine for the rest of the drive; when we get to the furniture store I help Sookie out of the car before we head inside the shop. We start to look around all the cribs that are there, but we agree on only getting oak ones. Might as well keep it natural seeing as we don't know the genders of our children and we won't for another 3 and half, maybe more, months. After deciding on two oak cribs we pick up some other much needed furniture such as; baby monitors, a rocking chair (on Sookie's orders), some teddies (which the shop actually sold surprisingly, I guess that's one less trip to the toy store) and some blankets for the cribs.
We also picked up some baby mobiles while we were there, figuring that our children would like something to keep themselves occupied if they turn out to be one of those difficult children to get to sleep.
"Okay, we'll have all of this delivered to your home tomorrow night" the cashier informs us as I pay for everything. I demanded that it be delivered at night time so that I can be there when it arrives. I would quite like to take part in putting the furniture in our babies' room.
"Thank you for all of this, Eric" Sookie smiles as we get back into the car.
"You are welcome, Lover. They are only necessities for our children's lives" I point out, trying to sound modest about it.
"Well, I wouldn't say that the costumes and sex toys were for the children…" she trails off before grinning at me with a wink. She has something up her sleeve. I can tell.
"Is Fangtasia closed now?" she knows perfectly well that it is. Fangtasia has been closed all night today, because there hasn't been enough staff. Most of my human staff have come down with flu.
"Yes"
"How long until the sun is up?" she probes lightly, trying to act natural about the questioning.
"Five, maybe six hours" I inform her after consulting with the time on my phone.
Can we go to Fangtasia then? I want to do that surprise for you now" she tells me, a seductive grin plastered on her face. Oh, now what could my Lover possibly have planned for me?
AN: Sorry for the short chapter, but I promise to make up for it in the next chapter by making the next chapter extra-long. Not to mention I will make the next chapter filled with lemony goodness xx
