Chapter 38
Eric woke alone, Sookie's side of the bed was stone cold. He got up to shower and dress for the day. Today would be a big event for him. They were reopening Fangtasia tonight and he had to be on his game. He knew the creatures who were coming were important and he wanted his son with him tonight. Johan was important to his world, he had already had many calls from different facets of his world with requests of appearances for his son. He never mentioned it to Sookie, he didn't want to worry her. Eric kept Johan home and away from his kind for as long as he could. He knew that the AP and some of the council would part of the guest list tonight, they would expect to see his son, the Prince. Eric knew he had better talk to Sookie and prepare her for the future, he didn't want it to overwhelm her. When he brought the subject up last night he felt her resistance, she was concerned, reasonably so but he would protect his son at all costs.
He found his family sitting down to eat breakfast. "Good morning my beautiful family." Sookie told him good morning. He kissed his children, his glowing wife and walked to sit in his chair. Eric pulled the twins to him so he could feed them so Sookie could eat. She smiled at him for thinking of her. He heard the front door open and Amelia and Alcide came in.
Amelia came rushing in the room and Sookie jumped out of her seat. Her friend had tears running down her face, Alcide stopped behind her shrugging his shoulder. Amelia could barely talk through the tears. "She said it's a boy!" Sookie hugged her friend and patted her back.
"She has been crying since the doctor told us." Alcide had his hands in his pocket not knowing what to do.
"Sit down Alcide, have some breakfast. She will be like that awhile. Sookie cried for three days when she realized Johan was a boy." He grinned at his friend. Sergio came out with a cup of coffee and a plate of food for Alcide, who thanked Sergio.
Sookie and Amelia were still hugging each other tightly while Amelia cried. Alcide looked at Eric. "Seriously? This hormone thing is enough to make a man lose his mind. How have you done it three times? I would like more kids but jeez, I don't know."
Eric laughed. "Wait until that son of yours is born. You will hold him and see what a gift your wife has given you. You will want more. I told Sookie I would have a dozen, I meant it." He leaned over closer to his friend. "She will give me each and everyone of them." He grinned at his Were friend who laughed at him.
"Your crazy that's why. You are a old crazy vampire with no common sense. A smart man would get fixed. I think I want to be part of the smart population." Alcide was laughing at himself. He wanted more kids, he just needed to get his head around he was having a son. It was powerful stuff he thought, brining a son into his world.
"What did the doctor say about the baby? Is he well? No complications?" Eric was spooning food into the twins mouth. Johan was turned to watch his mother comfort Amelia. Gently Eric addressed Johan. "Son, eat your breakfast." Johan turned back to his food.
Alcide smiled at Eric, he was a good dad. "No complications, she said its like nothing she has seen, well since Enar and Erika. She says he is healthy and growing really fast, faster than a human baby. We got those 3-D pictures, kind of creepy I think, but Amelia, look at her. She hasn't stopped crying."
Eric laughed again. Amelia was calming down. Sergio brought a glass of milk and a plate and set it next to Alcide. Sergio turned to the women. "Come Miss Amelia, eat your breakfast, your son is hungry." She looked at him and started to cry again. "No, no more tears. You are his mother, it is your job to keep him happy and healthy. Sit, eat your breakfast and stop this crying. You knew he would be perfect, now celebrate that." He handed her a tissue and she wiped her eyes and face. She smiled and sat down to eat her breakfast. Alcide and Eric stared up at the chef in amazement. Sergio just winked and left to go back to the kitchen.
They talked and laughed while enjoying their breakfast. Amelia passed the pictures around for everyone to see. Lily joined them and want to look at them too. Trish cooed at how much he looked like Alcide. Johan wanted to see the pictures too. "Mommy, Adam is coming soon." Every pair of eyes looked at the little boy.
Alcide looked like he was going to cry. He looked at Eric. "We are going to name him Adam. What do you mean he is coming soon Johan?"
Johan smiled. "He meets his mommy and daddy soon."
"Johan baby, he isn't supposed to be born for a few months. That isn't soon baby." Sookie spoke calmly to her son.
Johan shrugged his shoulders. He obviously knew something they didn't. Eric chimed in. "Were children are usually earlier are they not?" Alcide nodded knowing what Johan was trying to tell them, their son would be early. Amelia was shocked.
"Your kid is good Eric, really good." Alcide stared at Johan who didn't pay attention to anything but his turkey bacon.
They finished their breakfast, Sookie and Amelia went up to the office, Lily took the kids out to play. Eric and Alcide left saying they had work to finish up before the party tonight. Amelia looked at Sookie from behind the lap top screen. "Did Eric find the dress you bought?" She started typing again.
"Nope, I hid it. He thinks I am wearing pink tonight. I love the dress I bought, the colors of our crest, he will definitely be shocked. I pretended I didn't like anything we picked out and he finally made my buy that pink one. I will wear it on Friday night when we go Fangtasia for the fun party." She was grinning.
"You don't think tonight will be fun? I can't wait to hobnob with everyone." She looked up to see Sookie typing on her phone.
Sookie gave Amelia a look like was she dense. "Amelia, every time that old oracle steps anywhere near something dreadful happens. I told Eric I give her one more chance and if she tries to pull some crap on me, she and I are going at it." Sookie giggled and Amelia just shook her head.
"Sookie, you can't blame her. It isn't her fault all this happens to you. Remember the saying, don't kill the messenger. I believe that really applies to her." Amelia smiled shyly at her friend.
"Whatever." She waved her hand to dismiss the thought of the AP. "So, where are with the nursery? Did the dressing table come yesterday?"
Amelia nodded. "Yes, I just need to order curtains. I don't want anything lacy or anything. The paint is done, the furniture is all assembled. I just need to get through the clothes and closets. Between you and I we have bought half the baby clothes in Louisiana."
"Babies need a lot more than what you think. Day after tomorrow I will come over and get through the clothes for you. I want to see the room anyway." Amelia nodded.
They spent the next five hours organizing, planning, working on their appearance calendar, coordinating the upcoming supe events, returning emails. Sookie didn't realize how late it was until Eric stepped in the room. "Ladies, you need to take a break now. You need to eat and both of you need a nap. I will not take sleepy women to the club with me tonight. Amelia, your husband is waiting for you downstairs for lunch. Then off you go, nap time."
"Eric Northman, when did Sookie and I turn in to two year olds?" She stood and put her hands on her hips.
"When both of you got pregnant, and yes I will be diligent about your care. Now, go." His fangs came down and she scooted out of the room.
"Eric, shame on you." Sookie shook her head.
He walked to her and put his hand out for her to take. "Shame on me for wanting to take care of my pregnant wife and our very pregnant friend. Sookie, you know she will be giving birth soon."
Sookie looked up at him. "No, she isn't due for months Eric."
"You heard our son Sookie. Just be prepared. I think we need to keep a good eye on her." He picked her up and kissed her. "Time for your lunch and your nap wife." He walked down the stairs with her in his arms. Eric sat her down on her feet, she turned and her food was on the table. Sookie sat down and began to eat. There were two warmed True Bloods waiting for Eric. While she was eating she kept looking at Eric's True Bloods. "Lover, do wish to have one?" She shook her head no. He knew she did, he handed her one of the bottles and got up to go get another for himself. Trish had one coming out of the microwave before he went in the kitchen completely. "Thank you Trish." She smiled at him.
Sookie was pushing her empty plate away from her when he walked back. "Thank you sweetie. I haven't really wanted one the last couple days but today, I really did." She took another sip. She took another drink and finished it. "Nap time. Are you coming up?"
He nodded. "I will be up in a little bit." She stood up to kiss him and went upstairs.
Mark opened the door. "Eric, the Johnson brothers are here." He nodded and Mark let them in.
"Good afternoon Mr. Northman." Paul walked to Eric, his brother right behind him. Eric nodded. "We have the final plans, we wanted you to take a look so we can get started. If you approve we can start tomorrow."
He moved them to dining room to put the plans on the table. Eric carefully looked over the plans. "The changes we made look fine. I would like to run this past Sookie. Leave the plans here and tomorrow you can begin. I have made it clear to you that I want this done quickly, we are still on the page about this yes?"
Paul nodded. "Of course, we will work from sun up to sundown, I have hired two extra crews and the we should have the addition in a about three weeks or less."
Eric was pleased. "Good, I expect results. I do not want my wife or family bothered by this so I want this completed quickly. As I told you a bonus will be made available to you if you are done before the promised time."
"Thank you Mr. Northman, we will work as hard as possible to get this done. We will see you in the morning." Eric nodded and the builders left. He headed upstairs to their room. Sookie was sound asleep, he took off his boots, his jeans and his shirt, put on his pajama bottoms and crawled in bed with her. His arms went around her pulling her close. He closed his eyes and fell fast asleep.
Eric woke, it was getting dark outside, his eyes opened. He felt her before he heard her, she was sick. He rushed to the bathroom where she was knelt down on the floor throwing up. "My love." He was beside her in an instant. Her face came up to look at him, she was pale, green and her eyes had circles under them. He looked away and growled, it killed him to see her like that. Standing he went to get her a cold washcloth. "Here my angel, let me put this on your face." His hand reached to put the cloth on her forehead, he wiped her face, going down to her neck. "How long have you been sick?"
She shook her head and got sick again. He waited while she did, his concern growing. When she could talk see looked him in the eyes. "Couple hours."
Eric was taken aback. "You have been sick a couple hours and you did not wake me? I am calling the doctor." He was out of the room and on the phone before she could stop her. When he returned she was still getting sick. He knelt behind her and rubbed her back. Sookie heard the doctor call out to them before she entered the bathroom.
"Viking. Move so I can see her." Eric stood and moved to sit on the lip of the tub. "Little one, what is this you have been sick for a couple hours?" Sookie nodded her head then got sick again. "Eric, grab the waste basket and set it next to the bed and come back to get her. I need her laying down to examine her." Eric did as the doctor ordered. When Sookie was on the bed the doctor told Eric to have a ginger ale brought up for her. He quickly went to retrieve it. "Ok, Sookie, lets see what is going on. Have you been having a lot of morning sickness the last week?"
"No, today was the first day. Usually I ask him to ease up on me but today I think he is paying me back for the missed days." She closed her eyes and tried to make the spinning go away. Eric was back with a cold and a warm ginger ale both with straws in them. He sat next to her on the bed and took her hand, the other he held the warm ginger ale up to her lips and she sipped a bit of it.
Dr. Ludwig was doing what she always does, her hands hovering over Sookie's body. Then she took out her stethoscope, listened to her heart, her lungs, then put it down to Sookie's belly. "Any cramps?" Sookie said no. "Any bleeding" Again Sookie said no. "You are dizzy?" She said yes. "There is nothing out of the ordinary. I will give her a shot to help with this bout of sickness because I know you have the party tonight. I don't want her taking this if it isn't an emergency." She put her instruments away. "Be at my office at eleven a.m. I want to do a full work up on her. It is time for her check up anyway. Eric, give her your blood, drink the ginger ale and when she is up to it have her eat. It will help settle her stomach. See you in a few hours." Eric nodded. The doctor patted Sookie's hand and left.
Eric laid down next to her, he put his head on her shoulder. "Sookie, next time wake me, call me if you are sick like that. I do not like knowing that you are sitting in that bathroom alone and sick."
She turned and looked at him. "Thank you sweetie." The shot was making her feel better.
Eric put his hands on her belly. "Gunnar, you have been too hard on mommy tonight. You need to help her, not make her sick. Can you stop making her sick now? Please son." Eric rubbed her belly and it was like a genie granting a wish, the dizziness and the sickness began to pass. Sookie was relieved. Eric looked down on her and her face wasn't as pale any longer. He smiled. "See if you would have woken me I could have spoken to my son and made this all go away." Sookie just stuck her tongue out at him. Eric got up and went into the bathroom, he ran water in the tub and went back to her. He set her up, took her shirt off, pulled off her shorts and took off her bra, he slipped her panties down her legs.
"Eric, I can get undressed." She frowned at him.
"Sookie, you are sick. Do not fight me. You are taking a bath and going back to bed." He started to pick her up and she backed up.
"No, I am not. I am taking a bath and getting ready for the party." She stood up and put her hands on her hips.
"Absolutely not. You are going back to bed." He bent over her, his fangs came down.
She gave him a dirty look. "Listen mister, I am fine. Its just morning sickness, I am going to the party."
He pulled her closer to him. "Sookie, please. Why do you insist on making things difficult. You need your rest. I wish you would just lay down and take care of our son."
"Eric, tonight is important, I feel so much better. Come on, take a bath with me, I need some of your blood. If I feel bad before we leave I will stay home. How's that?" She smiled up at him and he nodded.
They went to the bathroom and climbed into the tub. Eric pulled her close to wash her hair, then his own. She got the soap and layered them both before rinsing off. Eric's brought his wrist to his mouth and ripped it open putting it to her mouth, she leaned back against his chest and drank until it closed. "Feeling better my love?"
She nodded. "Yes, actually I am feeling a lot better. Are you ready to get out and get dressed?"
His hands went around her pulling her close. "No. I would rather stay here and make love to you but since you have been ill I think I will wait. I do not wish to overtire you tonight." He kissed her neck and she turned to kiss his lips. They kissed for a long time, caressing each other until he broke the kiss. "Lets dress lover. We have much to do tonight." He pulled the drain on the tub and got them out of the tub. Eric wrapped her in a towel then got one for himself. He went to the bedroom to dress. Sookie took her time, she towel dried her hair, brushed her teeth, shaved her legs before moving to the bedroom. Eric was dressed, he looked so handsome. He was wearing a black suit with a blood red dress shirt, and a beautiful silk tie in black, blood red and off white, he looked amazing. His hair was combed back and Sookie gasped at him.
"Sweetie, you look incredible." She was glad he had picked a red shirt, it would compliment the dress she was going to wear. Sookie went behind him and hugged him.
"Thank you lover. I am going to get our Prince dressed for the party. If you need me please call me. Promise me." He looked at her seriously and she nodded.
Sookie dried and curled her hair, she put on her make up and put on ruby and diamond drop earrings and a elaborate ruby and diamond necklace Eric gave her when they became King and Queen. It reminded Sookie of something English royalty wore. She went to her closet and got out a new strapless push up bra and panty matching set in off white and put them on. Next she put on thigh high stockings and a garter belt. Amelia tapped on the door. "Sook, can I come in?"
Sookie turned to the door. "Come on in." Amelia came in, her long hair was up and neatly styled, she wore a sage green dress that was flowing and beautiful against her skin. She was wearing the bracelet Alcide just bought her, she also had on a gorgeous emerald choker necklace that made her neck look long and stunning. "Amelia, you look gorgeous!" Her friend twirled around in her dress, he baby belly really showing itself.
"Thank Sook, you ready to get dressed. Your hubby is going to eat his tongue when he sees you." Amelia went over to help her friend. The dress was one shouldered, floor length, off white and beaded with the same color blood red as Eric's shirt, the entire dress hugged her body, the bodice of the dress hugged and lifted her breasts up, the entire dress left little to the imagination and she looked jaw dropping gorgeous in it.
Sookie stood in the mirror looking at her reflection. Eric was going to have a stroke she thought. "Eric is going to never let me out of the house in this dress." She giggled and put on her high heels on and grabbed her clutch purse. "Are we ready?" Amelia grinned and followed her friend down the stairs.
Eric was knelt down at the end of the stairs adjusting his sons dress shirt and tie, her little boy was in a black suit with a shirt a little darker than Eric's. That was Sookie's plan, she wanted her family to wear the colors of their Kingdom, red, off white and black. Alcide walked behind Eric and he stood to watch his wife come down the stairs. "Sookie." He barely said it, his fangs came down, his eyes were glassy with lust. He held his hand out to her as she came down the stairs. "Your dress, I thought we chose a different one."
She looked up at him. "You don't like this one?"
He shook his head at her. "I love this dress, why did you not tell me you were wearing it?"
"I wanted to surprise you, are you sure you like it?' He moved to her and kissed her, he definitely liked it she thought.
"Ok, you two come on, we need to go. You can make out later." Alcide took his wife's hand and lead her out the door to the waiting car.
Sookie went to take Eric's hand . He leaned down to whisper in her ear. "I will show you how much I like this dress when we return home my wife. Do not doubt this for one minute." Eric picked up his son who was giddy to be going our with his parent and they went to the waiting car.
When they arrived at Fangtasia they parked in the back where Pam was waiting for them when they entered. She looked fantastic, she was wearing a short sapphire blue cocktail dress with the most amazing pair of heels in silver Sookie had ever seen. Her hair was flowing down her back. Sookie went to her and hugged her. "Pam, if I ever decide to leave Eric, I would definitely change teams." Pam's fangs came down and Sookie giggled. Eric growled at her.
Fangtasia looked amazing, it had new elements to it but it still had the old Fangtasia feel to it. Felicia and her several other vampires were working the bar. There were several waitresses working the floor getting drinks for the guests. There was a DJ on the stage that was usually set up for Eric's throne, there was a bar set up with finger foods.
The bar was already getting full, Sookie looked around to see King Stan Davis, Bill, Thalia, Nigel, the Mayor of Shreveport, the Police Chief, several local wealthy businessman, a senator and two congressmen, the AP, Robert and Xavier, Mr. Cataliades and his niece, Calvin Norris, Sam Merlotte, Dr. Ludwig, Niall and her cousins Claude and Claudine, all of the Sheriff's of Louisiana and their seconds and the pack leaders of the local areas. Sookie saw a group of woman that looked like they were Witches. There were still a handful that were turned around or talking Sookie couldn't make out.
The first person to come to her was Niall. "My child you look amazing." She thanked him. "How are you feeling my dear?" He took her hand in his.
"Fine, thank you Niall." She smiled sweetly at him.
"Eric, you picked a good evening to show Johan to us. His birthday is pinnacle, it is important that you and Sookie celebrate that event with all Kingdom's. Have you begun the planning?"
Eric's eyes narrowed at the Fairy Prince. "No, we have not decided what we will do for MY son's birthday. What is your interest in this Brigant?" Eric's fangs ran down.
"This is just as an important event as the day he was born. You must plan to show him to the world on that day Northman. I believe New Orleans would be a grand location." Niall looked at Eric with the most serious expression Sookie had ever seen.
"Niall, what we decide to do with our kids is our decision. We will not be forced by you or any other supe group where our kids are concerned. Eric and I will discuss it and let you know." She pulled away from him.
"My child, please. I know I have not done everything I should for you but this is important. Speak with the council, they will agree with this." He nodded and went to mingle.
The DJ announced the King, Queen and Prince Northman. Eric and Johan came to stand behind her and took her hand. He walked her to the stage and they stood together.
The music stopped, the entire room looked at the three of them, the vampires bowed to them. Sookie could see the expressions on the faces of those who had never met Johan, they were shocked at the resemblance of father and son. If there was a question Eric was able to father this child, it was squashed in that moment. Sookie smiled at the crowd.
"Welcome to Fangtasia. My Queen and I would like to thank each of you for coming to celebrate with us this evening. We would like to introduce you to our son, Prince Johan Northman for those who have not met him. Please enjoy yourselves." Johan clapped his hands and the entire room bowed, stood up then began to clap.
They exited the stage and they didn't need to mingle too much because everyone came to them to pay respects. Sookie smiled and was gracious to everyone that came up to them. She thanked each and everyone of them for coming. Johan smiled and thanked those who told him he was handsome or offered their fealty to him. He was just like his father, her little boy would nod back to those who nodded to him. Eric was never prouder in his life, his son was born to be the Prince he thought to himself.
Felicia brought drinks to them, a goblet of royalty blood for Eric, a ginger ale for Sookie and a sippie cup of milk for Johan. The music was loud enough to enjoy but everyone could still mingle and talk easily. Robert and Xavier came to them. "King, your Queen is stunning as usual." Eric nodded and smiled at his old friend. "How are you and your family Eric?"
Eric bowed to them both. "Thank you your Highness, we are well. I am glad that you came."
Johan leaned forward to speak them both. "Hello Robert, hello Xavier." He had the brightest smile on his face. Both vampires shocked her remembered them.
Xavier looked at Johan with such kindness. He glanced at Sookie who nodded and smiled at him. Johan held his arms out and went to Xavier. "Hello our little Prince. Are you having fun here with your parents?"
Johan nodded. "Oh, yes!"
Everyone laughed and Xavier touched Johan's face. "You are the light little Northman, you will do amazing things for our world. I look forward to living to see it." He handed Johan back to Eric, nodded and the ancient vampires went to mingle.
Eric was pleased. "My Prince, you are just like your mommy. You can charm even the oldest and jaded of our world." Eric turned to Sookie and smiled at her. He was so proud of his family, he was almost beaming. "This is your world son, these beings are important and they will swear their fealty to you for eternity. Remember that." Johan nodded at his father.
Johan had to use the bathroom so Sookie took him from Eric, set him on his feet to walk, Eric looked to Pam and nodded. Pam followed them to the bathroom. "Sookie, we have been so busy, I am sorry I couldn't take Johan on Monday. Can we reschedule for next week?"
Sookie looked at Pam before she walked into the stall with Johan. "Pam, he is your sibling. If you want to take him on Monday I have no problems with it. Just check with Eric ok?" Pam nodded and waited patiently while Sookie helped Johan undress to take care of things.
"How is everything Sookie? I haven't had much time with any of you since all the changes. Are you feeling well?" Pam looked at her nail polish.
"Yes, we are great. Things have been really good. The kids are great, Eric and I are doing really well. I couldn't be happier. You need to come over and visit with me, I miss you." Sookie took Johan to the sink to wash his hands.
"I will, I miss you too." She looked sad Sookie thought.
Johan smiled at Pam. "Pammy can we dance?" Pam's face lit up. She picked up Johan and hugged him.
Pam looked at Sookie for permission. "Go on, just one dance and do not get him dirty, Eric will kill us." Pam smiled and walked out with her favorite little person. Sookie saw Eric watching what they were doing, he grinned to see his child and his son hugging each other dancing. Sookie walked to Eric, he put his arm around her. "She asked, I hope your not angry I let her dance with him."
Eric looked at her shocked. "Sookie, I love that she is close to him. She is important to me and I only want to see her well and happy. If our son makes her that happy how can we deny her that?"
"Good, I told her she can take him next Monday. No making her work Eric, she deserves the evening with him." He nodded, the promised her they would allow her to take him for the night, Eric would just make sure that they were well protected.
The AP and her assistants came up them. "Evening Northman's, I must be leaving, I have an important ceremony I must perform." She turned to Sookie. "Your children are growing quickly are they not?" Sookie didn't know what to say to her, Eric nodded to her. "They will walk this earth a long time Eric, do not doubt this." She was whisked away in that moment. Eric stared at her as she left.
"Eric, what is she talking about?" Sookie looked baffled.
He looked down at her, he was a bit taken aback by the AP. "I was talking to Alcide yesterday about the life spans of our children. She must have detected my concern about that."
Sookie nodded and Eric was approached by a group of politicians. Sookie spoke to each, thanked them all for coming, shook hands of some, nodded at others and graciously walked away to let them have privacy.
Claude and Claudine were standing talking to Mr. Cataliades. Sookie went to say hello. "Hello cousins, Hello Mr. Cataliades, I hope your enjoying your evening." She leaned to kiss them both of her cousins and smiled brightly at the demon lawyer.
"Sookie, you look amazing! I swear, isn't she stunning Claude?" Claudine was smiling at her.
Claude moved closer to her and took her hand. "She is lovely. How are you feeling cousin?" He looked down on her concerned. It was like a trigger, Sookie's hand grabbed Claude's arm and she looked up at him. She was having a cramp and it made her want to double over. Sookie held onto Claude like an anchor. "Sister, get the doctor, I am taking her to Eric's office." Claude smiled like nothing was going on, put his arm around Sookie and moved her toward the back. Claudine and the doctor were behind them. Eric's head snapped up, he felt Sookie's anxiety, he excused himself from the group and shot Pam a look to watch Johan and he rushed to the office.
Sookie was laid out on the couch and her cousins were standing next to her, the doctor's hands were over her belly when Eric stepped in the office. "Sookie! What happened?" Eric looked frightened.
She grabbed his hand. "Sweetie, I am ok, just cramps is all." She smiled up at him. The cramp started again and she closed her eyes to breathe through it.
The doctor's hand hovered over her belly. "Yes, you seem to be having growing pains. Be at the office in the morning and we will get a view of this baby. He seems to be growing at Fae rate by the looks of it." Sookie looked confused.
"Fae give birth in about six to seven months." Claude told his cousin.
Eric growled turning to the doctor, he needed an answer. "Is she alright?"
"Viking, she is fine." She smiled up at him and his face angry. "Eric, she is ok, the baby is ok. Her body has to adjust to the baby and its rapid growth so it is cramping up on her."
He looked a little better his wife thought. Sookie looked up at the doctor and her cousins. "Thank you doctor. Ok, give us a minute could y'all?" The doctor and her cousins left them alone, she sat up on the couch and reached for him. "Come here Eric." He stood there, she could feel his emotions, he thought something was happening to her again. He didn't move, she spoke to him again, "Sweetie?" Eric finally moved to sit next to her. "Were fine Eric, Claude freaked out when I had the spasm, he didn't even give me a second to do anything. I had them with the other kids, this one was just a little stronger. Look at me Eric."
Eric's face lifted to look her in the eye. "I thought….I felt your concern…I…." Her beautiful husband needed to get his bearings together. She reached over and took his chin in her hands and smiled then she kissed him slowly.
"We are fine Eric, I promise. I would tell you if something was wrong." His feelings of concern were changing, he regaining his composure. He closed his eyes and when he did he was back, her powerful and in control husband. She grinned at him. "Ok, lets go get this over with, shall we?" He stood and took her hand leading her to the main bar again.
Their guests seemed to be having a good time Sookie thought, creatures were talking, sitting, drinking, some were dancing. Sookie let go of Eric to go to Pam to get her son. Johan was in his glory, he was still in Pam's arms smiling at the Mayor. "Thank you for coming Mister Mayor." Sookie smiled at the older man.
"Sookie, it is good to see you and Eric again. You look incredible and this child you have is incredible. He is like a mini version of Eric is he not?" Pam laughed and Sookie smiled.
"Yes, Sir, he definitely is. I tell Eric that all the time, he is just like him. I couldn't be happier."
The Mayors' wife stood next to him. "Yes, Sookie that dress is spectacular! Johan is beautiful my dear. People say that about children all the time but this little boy is just darling." She leaned in to whisper to her. "His eyes, they are just like his father's." The woman thought she was revealing some mystery to Sookie.
"Yes, actually all my children have Eric's eyes. That was the deal, if I had to give birth to them they all better have his eyes." Her guests laughed and told her they were going to say their goodbyes to leave. Sookie thanked them again for coming.
King Davis stepped up to Sookie smiling. "Hello my Queen, you look lovely this evening. How are you?"
Sookie was so excited to see Stan, she would have hugged him but she knew that was a big no, no in public. "I am great Stan. How are things in Texas and Nevada?"
He looked at Pam who was talking to a congressmen across the room. "She outdid herself, Eric is lucky to have her. That state is in better condition than it has ever been. Eric gave me a great gift, I will have to repay him for his generosity."
They chatted and caught up. He promised he would come to Johan's birthday party when they had it planned out. He wished her goodnight and went to find her husband so he could get going.
Their guests began to slowly leave, Sookie couldn't have been happier. She wanted to take Johan home, he didn't seem to be tiring but she wouldn't feel better until he was home safe. Sam came up to her. "Cher, I wish I could have had more time to sit and chat with you." He smiled at her then Johan held his arms out for Sam to take him, he did and hugged him tightly.
"Just you being here means a lot to me Sam. I know you are really trying to accept Eric." Sookie reached over and fiddled with her sons hair.
"I heard something, a rumor. Can I ask you a question?" She nodded. "Is it true, about another baby?"
Before she could say anything Johan chimed in. "Gunnar, baby Gunnar." Sam's eyes closed.
"Don't freak out Sam. We will be fine." She took Johan back kissing him on the side of the face.
"You really need to have him fixed Sookie." He was talking through his teeth.
"Do not give my wife a hard time about this shifter." Sookie jumped at the sound of Eric behind her.
Sam looked like he was about to advance on Eric. Sookie shot him a dirty look. "Didn't you learn anything vampire? You almost killed her." His voice was low enough only they could hear him, Sookie was thankful for that.
"Another time for this argument Merlotte." Eric shot him a warning look.
Sam turned to look at Sookie. "I will call you later Cher, when we can talk." His hands went through his hair and he stormed out.
"That went well." Sookie just rolled her eyes and turned to look at Eric. "Trouble maker." She grinned up at him. Eric grinned at the door where Sam just left out of.
Alcide and Amelia were sitting in the booth, softly talking to each other, their bodies were glued to each other, Sookie smiled at her friends. When each of their guest were finally leaving and Eric was saying their goodbyes, Sookie handed a now sleepy Johan to Pam. "Take him please Pam." She did, Sookie needed to sit, take off her shoes and her stomach was doing flip flop. Sookie looked toward the bar. "Felicia, could I have a ginger ale please?" She nodded to her and got one right away. It was opened with a straw in it and sitting in front of her in a flash
"Here my Queen. Do you need anything else?" Felicia's hand came out to steady her and help her to stool.
"No, thank you so much." She was on the stool in her expensive gown sipping a ginger ale when Eric came up behind her.
"They are all gone. Nice job everyone. No blood shed, no murders, Sookie didn't even have to zap the AP like she thought she would." His hands were wrapped around her and her family laughed at her.
"Yes, make fun of the telepath!" She was joking and laughed with them.
Eric kissed the top of her head. "Are you alright my love?"
She nodded and sipped on her ginger ale. "Gunnar is being difficult this evening." Sookie's hand went to her belly to rub it. "Son, please. Mommy is tired. Let's just finish the night and get home ok, we will go to bed as soon as we get home, I promise."
Eric grinned and his hands went to her belly. "Yes, son, daddy was worried earlier. Give mommy a break alright?" Sookie's stomach felt better instantly.
"Thank you sweetie." She smiled up at him.
They began to get ready to leave. Sookie wanted to go home herself and get Johan home. Just as they were leaving Little Eagle came the door and Pam's face lit up. She went to him to hug and kiss. They walked to where Eric and Sookie were standing.
Eric looked at his friend. "Eagle, how are you this evening?"
"I am well Eric, I am sorry I did not get here sooner, I had some issues that needed to be dealt with." Eric nodded and would get an update on whatever things they were working on Sookie thought.
Eagle turned to Sookie. "My Queen, you look like a Goddess but tonight, you are absolutely ravishing in that gown you are wearing." He was smiling and bowed to her.
"Thank you Eagle. I am glad you could come by. I wish you were able to come earlier. Pam would have had someone else to dance with other than Eric, Jr." Sookie looked up at Eric who was staring at his son and Pam talking to his son across the room.
"We will leave you two alone. Good night Eagle, I will call you in the morning." Eagle nodded to Eric. He turned to where Sookie was sitting and picked her up. "Bill, get Johan." Bill did, he and Nigel followed the couples to the car. Johan was put in his car seat by Bill, Eric put Sookie in the car and Alcide helped Amelia up to sit. The men got in and they headed out for the short drive home. Bill dropped Amelia and Alcide off first. Then they drove a few more minutes to the house, both Sookie and Johan were sound asleep when they got to the front of the house. Eric picked up Sookie who was didn't stir and Bill took Johan out of the car seat to take in the house. Lily was standing in the doorway when they went in. "Lily, take Johan upstairs and put him to bed please." She smiled and took the little boy out of Bill's arms to take to up.
"Goodnight Eric." Bill nodded and went outside.
Eric took Sookie upstairs, he gently laid her on the bed, took off her shoes, then he sat her up to unzip the back of her gorgeous dress. He smiled thinking his wife had gone out of her way to buy a dress to surprise him, they all three looked amazing in their Kingdom colors. Carefully he moved her to pull the long gown up and over her head. His fangs came down the minute he saw her thigh high stockings and garter belt. His hands barely touched her as he ran them over her thighs feeling the silk on her skin. She stirred under his light touch. "Eric." She whispered his name and opened her legs for him. He closed his eyes, she was driving him mad with desire. "Please Eric." Again she whispered to him. Her legs came up and Eric touched the little bit of fabric that covered her center. It was wet completely. He leaned down to smell her, his fingers pulled the little panties off of her. He didn't want to destroy these, he wanted to save them, he stuck them in his jacket pocket before he took it off. He unbuttoned his dress shirt, leaned over to take off his shoes and socks, then his pants were next to be removed. His gorgeous body was nude and ready for his wife. Sookie's eyes were blurry from sleep but she saw every inch of him, his muscular body was knelt between her legs, his hands moved to bring her up to kiss him, the were chest to chest.
"Sookie, I am going to roll you over, can you do that tonight?" She knew what he wanted and she did to. Her head nodded to him and she put her hands under as he rolled her over. Her behind was in the air close to his lap, he placed his hands on her hips to bring her closer to him. Leaning over to the table next to the bed he opened the drawer to take out the bottle of lubricant. Sookie gasped and her body moved in anticipation of what was happening. She heard him open the tube and felt the coldness against her backside. Her hips continued moving, she felt his hands grip her hips again a little tighter as she felt his cock begin to move into her. At first Eric was slow and careful but Sookie's needs began to spur him on, she was demanding, pushing harder on him as he moved inside her. Her movement was making Eric insane with need, he thrust grew harder and harder, her screams were longer and deeper. He knew what he was doing to her, he was building her up as much as he could, he was ready but he needed her to finish with him, that was his only goal. Eric's hips were ruthless, her body was trickling with sweat now, he leaned down and licked her spine, he nibbled on her skin and as he searched he found the perfect spot to bite her. Her body came up and she moaned so loud with her orgasm he came too. She fell forward and he landed on top of her, he moved just enough to take the weight off her but he wanted to be close to her. "Are you alright my love?" She grunted. He smiled at her. "I take that is a yes."
She rolled on to her side to look at him. They were chest to chest. "You betcha!" Her eyes were clear now and she was grinning. Her hand came up to gently stroke his face. "I love you sweetie." His head leaned into kiss her. Her eyes closed and she enjoyed the kiss until she broke away from him. "Eric, what did you think about what Niall said about Johan's birthday party?"
He knew she would worry about that. He closed his eyes, if he had a moment with that old Fairy he would strangle him for upsetting her. "I believe that the supernatural world is ready to meet our son Sookie."
"I don't know if I am ready for him to meet them. I know the ones he met tonight, most wouldn't hurt him, he's just a baby." She looked Eric in the eyes.
"Sookie, we knew this day would come did we not? How can we keep him from this life? It is our destiny, his destiny." He absently rubbed her arms. He pulled his arm up to his face, his fangs popped down and he ripped his arm open to give her blood. She closed her eyes and sucked hard. When she was done and his wound was closed her pulled her to him, her head was in the crease of his neck. "Tomorrow the Johnson brothers will be here to begin work. We need to look over the plans, they are to the specs we asked for."
She sighed. "Ok. First thing right?" He nodded. "I have the interview with the assistant you recommended at eight. Amelia will sit in on it with me. You have checked her out?"
"Yes, she has worked for Pam on several occasions. Toni was also an assistant to the King of Maryland's day man. She came highly recommended." Sookie was relieved, but she would feel her out tomorrow.
"That's good. Then we have the doctor's appointment at eleven. Will you be able to go with me?" Sookie was getting sleepy, her eyes were closing.
"Of course, I would not miss it and you know that, min kärlek." He kissed her temple speaking to her softly. She was asleep in minutes. He held her close, shut his own eyes and fell asleep with his wife.
