Sawyer handed the streamer to Pam and smiled when the vampire rolled her eyes. Sawyer looked around Fangtasia and couldn't believe what some gold, white and silver streamers could do to the place. That and removing the stripper pole; Sawyer smiled when she remember how much Eric had complained about removing the pole. She rubbed her stomach and sighed. It had been a week since the whole Finn episode. She knew that Eric had felt her pulling away but she didn't know what else to do. She could still feel Finn alive out there and it was starting to drive her insane because Eric had assured that he was dead.

"Pink would have looked better," Pam said climbing off the ladder.

"Arlene didn't want pink and it was hard enough getting her to agree to have her engagement party here," Sawyer said as they walked over to the table to grab some balloons.

"How did you get her to agree?"

"Told her Eric would pay for everything."

"Yes, and now the bride to be wants a swan ice sculpture," Eric said walking into the club from the back office.

"Swan? Does she have any taste at all?" Pam asked shaking her head as she grabbed some balloons and walked back to the ladder.

"Sorry, I got you into this," Sawyer told Eric when he walked over to her.

"There are worse things I could be doing. And of course better things I could be doing as well," Eric said smirking as he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her on the head.

"Let me guess, I am one of those better things?" she asked smiling.

"Oh, definitely."

"If you two are going to have sex, do you mind doing it away from the people who aren't getting any," Pam called over to them.

"Aww, what's wrong Pam? Can't find a plaything?" Eric teased.

"Just watch it or I'll take your plaything."

"You know, Pam that does sound like fun," Sawyer said winking at Pam.

"Not happening. She is mine," Eric stated looking from Pam to Sawyer.

"Selfish," Pam answered.

"I'm with Pam on this one. You are selfish, coincided, pig-headed-," Sawyer said.

"And yet, you love me."

"Yeah, I do," Sawyer paused, "I really have no idea why."

Eric pulled Sawyer closer and held her in his arms. He knew that she was hiding something from him. He could feel it down to his soul. He kissed her head again and wondered why she still insisted on hiding things from him. He had thought that they had gotten over the whole keeping secrets from each other. He turned her around and gently ran his hand over her stomach. He looked up into her eyes.

"Can I speak to you?" he asked softly.

"Of course, Pam, can you handle this?" Sawyer asked her.

"I could do this in my sleep," Pam huffed tying the balloons to the streamers.

Sawyer followed Eric as he led the way back to the office. She had a feeling she knew exactly what he was going to discuss and she didn't want any part of it. Sawyer didn't want to fight or argue with Eric at the moment. She leaned against the desk and looked at Eric. He walked over to her and stood in front of her. He didn't touch her and Sawyer just wanted him to pull her in his arms instead of talk to her.

"Vacker, I know that something is going on with you. I can feel you hiding something from me," he said softly looking into her eyes.

"I don't want to do this, Eric, I don't want to fight with you," Sawyer stated looking away from him. The love in his eyes was causing her to ache down to her soul. She knew that he wanted her to be able to share anything with him but this was just too weird to share. She didn't want Eric thinking she was insane; she had been thinking it enough herself lately.

"We are not fighting. I just wish to know what it is wrong and why you have been hiding something from me."

"It's nothing."

"If it is nothing, then why have you been pulling away from me? Why is it now it seems you cannot sleep for more than a couple of hours at a time? It is not nothing."

Eric watched as Sawyer shook her head. He leaned in and placed his hands on either side of her on the desk boxing her in. He ran his nose along her neck and closed his eyes and took in her scent. He was worried that she was not letting him touch her or comfort her because of what had happened with her brother. He feared that she wasn't able to forgive him for what had happened. He knew he should tell her the truth, that Finn was alive; well barely alive anyway. Eric had been torturing him under the guise of gaining information on Eve from him. However, Eric knew that the real reason he was slowly killing Finn was the scars both visible and invisible that he had cause Sawyer. He placed a soft kiss on his lover's neck and felt her lean against his touch. He opened his eyes and looked down at her hand seeing the ring he had given her there on her finger. It marked her as his and he wanted her to feel that she could share anything with him.

"Eric, it's not that I don't love you," she whispered lifting her hand up and brushing the hair from his forehead.

"Then what is it? Why are you putting this wall between us?" he asked pulling away and looking in her eyes.

"I," Sawyer paused and closed her eyes. She knew she needed to tell Eric. She could hear the worry in his voice. He deserved to know what she was thinking and feeling. "Eric, I can still Finn. It's like... It's like he isn't dead."

Sawyer watched Eric. For a moment she saw something flash in his eyes and could have sworn it was sheer rage. She waited fearful that that rage was soon to be directed at her. Instead it disappeared and he yanked her in his arms. She rested her head on his chest and closed her eyes tear falling. She had finally told Eric the reason she was being so distant with him and she wondered if he would understand the bond that twins had. She thought about her twins in her stomach and wondered if they would be closer then she and Finn had turned out to be. She relaxed when she felt Eric stroking her hair.

"What do you mean you can feel him?" he asked and she could tell it was taking everything for him to keep his voice calm and even.

"It's this bond we have. When Finn and I were little we would be able to sense if the other one needed us. This was before my ability started to show itself and before Mom started to turn Finn against me. We were brother and sister in every form. And now, after years of not feeling anything, suddenly that feeling is there again. It's like he is calling to me from somewhere that he needs me. But that is crazy and stupid because he is dead," Sawyer paused softly, "you killed him."

"It is not stupid," Eric answered softly vowing that Finn was not going to live past that night. He would not allow the man to cause more pain to Sawyer.

"It feels stupid. I have been thinking all week that I have finally lost my mind."

"You haven't. Did you ever think it is just all the stress of everything? Worrying about our children, Arlene's party and what happened with Finn?"

Sawyer nodded. She felt herself smiling. She always smiled when she heard Eric call the twins theirs. She truly saw him as their father in every way. She pulled away from Eric and placed a gentle kiss on his lips when he looked down at her. She loved him with every part of her soul and she knew that coming to Bon Temps and finding him hadn't been just chance; it had been meant to be. She pulled away and gave him a soft smile.

"I should go back out there and help Pam," she said feeling Eric still holding her close to him.

"I do not want to let you go just yet though," he said leaning down and kissing along her neck. He smirked against her skin when he felt her run her fingers though his hair.

"Too bad, Mr. Northman there will time later on for you to hold me as close as you want."

"Is that a promise, Ms. Hampton?"

"Yes, it is."

Eric pulled away. He leaned down and rubbed her stomach and whispered to the twins in Swedish. He placed his hand on Sawyer's stomach and smiled when he felt them kick in response. He leaned in and kissed Sawyer on the cheek and whispered to her not to work too hard. She nodded and then pulled away from him and left the office closing the door behind her. He sat on his desk and felt his anger rising. It was taking everything in him not to get up and just walk down to the basement and rip Finn limb from limb. The one thing that was helping him keep control of his anger was the fact that Sawyer was there and he did not want to even take the risk that she might find out the truth. Not now. Eric closed his eyes and sighed then grabbed the phone to call Rueben. He had a feeling that he would need him to help dispose of Finn's body later on.

Sawyer rubbed her back and looked around Fangtasia. It looked great. She turned when the door opened. Sookie and Jessica walked in carrying boxes that held the vases that Arlene had demanded be used to hold flowers on every table. Sawyer, Sookie and Jessica all thought the vases were beyond tacky but none of them had said a word against the painted yellow vases. Sookie put down a box on a couch and looked around the club. She walked over to Sawyer.

"I am impressed. Really, I didn't think this place could ever look normal," Sookie said.

"Removing the stripper pole was all that needed to be done," Sawyer said sitting on a chair and sighing in relief as she placed her feet on another chair. Carrying twins was no picnic.

"How much did Eric bitch about that?" Jessica asked sitting across from Sawyer.

"A lot. You'd think that damn stripper pole was a family heirloom or something. How did it go with Arlene and deciding the food choices?"

"It went... Well," Sookie said pulling up another chair.

"Oh no, what happened?"

"She hated every suggestion that the caterers came up with," Jessica said.

"Why?"

"Cause she's pregnant and she can. Terry tried but it looks like this party is going to foodless."

"For the humans at least," Sawyer added sighing. She got up and stretched, "I'm going to go see if maybe Eric doesn't have the number for some awesome caterers in the office."

"Where do you want these vases?" Sookie asked also getting up.

"Just put them by the stage. Pam and Eric went out on some important business and when they get back I am sure Pam will order you to put the vases where she thinks they belong."

"Sounds like so much fun," Sookie muttered.

"Hey, don't diss Pam, Sook. She is cool," Jessica said getting up and grabbing the boxes.

Sawyer laughed at the look that Sookie gave. She walked to the back and to Eric's office. She went to walk in but stopped when she heard something. It sounded like a faint scream. She looked around and listened closely. She heard Sookie and Jessica in the main room of the club laughing. She walked away from Eric's office and more down the hall. She stopped and listened again. She heard another loud yell and it sounded like it was coming from the basement. She leaned against the wall and closed her eyes.

"Oh God," she muttered knowing that Eric had probably chained someone up in the basement as punishment. She didn't want to think about who could be down there and she knew it was none of her business. This was Eric acting as the Sheriff of Area 5 and not as her lover and partner.

She turned to walk away but stopped when she heard another yell. Someone was down there yelling for help and the part of her that cared about helping people just couldn't walk away. She thought about all the trouble that she was going to be in if Eric found out but she still couldn't walk away. She cursed and turned back and walked down the hall to the basement door. She opened it and walked in the door closing behind her.
