A heavily pregnant Sookie walked around Merlotte's taking orders and waiting tables. Sookie tried her best to stay out of people's heads as they eyed her belly. Some people thought she was carrying a demon or monster inside of her but they were all wrong... she was carrying a miracle inside of her... Eric's son... their son. "Sam, you mind if I take five?" Sookie asked. Sam gestured to one of the stools at the bar. "Sit down mama." Sam said. "Sorry I'm just really hurting today, and my feet are probably so swollen I won't be able to get my shoe's off without a crowbar." Sookie Said as she leaned back against the bar to catch her breath for a second. "Rikki, are you giving your mom a hard time?" Sam said jokingly to Sookie's swollen belly. "Okay, I think I got my second wind, I'm going back out." Sookie said to Sam as he slid off the bar stool. "Go get um" Sam said. Just as Sookie stood up she felt a pressure between her legs and something liquid. "Aww Fuck." Sookie said, as she made a face that said you've got to be kidding me. "Sookie?" Sam asked as he poured someone a drink, "you ok?" "Yeah uhh I think my water just broke." Sookie stammered. "What?!" Sam said. Arlene rushed to Sookie's side and took her hand. "Sweetie how long have you been having these pains and cramps?" Arlene asked. "Couple hours. Why?" Sookie asked as she started to panic, "Is something wrong? Is the baby ok?!" She had no idea what she would do if something happened to this baby. "Everything's fine darling he's just coming is all." Arlene said, stroking her arm. Sookie mouth fell open. "What you mean like right now?!" "No hun but soon. Couple hours at the most. Sam, call the hospital and Jason would ya. I'll drive Sookie there myself." Arlene said grabbing her stuff. "No it's only 4:30. It will be a while before the sun goes down. Eric should be there to see his son! I'll just hold it in." Sookie said as Arlene helped her out of the bar and Sam made the necessary phone calls. "Sweetie, I'm afraid it doesn't work like that." Arlene said as she struggled back a laugh. Sookie began to panic and get excited all at the same time. She was having a baby.


Jason rushed into the hospital and up to the front desk. "Sookie Stackhouse?" "Down the hall and to the left, room 111." The nurse said. "Thank you!" And with that Jason sprinted down the hallway. "Am I an uncle yet!?" Jason said as he ran into the room. Sookie was in a gown and hooked up to a couple of monitors. "Jason" She said with a smile on her face. She looked sleepy. "What time is it?" Sookie asked. "About two hours till darkness." Jason said as he took a seat. "I'm almost all the way dilated... Eric's gonna miss it... Damn." Sookie said in a frustrated tone. "Well.. can't ya just... hold it in?" Jason said. Sookie chuckled, "I've been told it doesn't work like that." "Well I'm here for ya." Jason said.

30 mins later...

"Owwww! Oh my God! Ahhhhh!" Sookie was in labor. Jason pasted out within the first 3 mins and had to be carried out of the room. "Push, Push!" She heard a nurse tell her. "I'm trying!" Sookie screamed. She had been pushing for a good while now and she was starting to tier. With every last bit of strength she had Sookie gave one final push as she cried out. That's when she heard it... A baby's cry. The cry of her son. The nurses wrapped him in a blanket. He was beautiful. Handsome just like his father. They placed him in Sookie's arms. She cried and held him. "What is the name for the birth certificate?" The nurse asked. "Godric Northman." Sookie said, smiling and wiping away her tears. "Hello Rikki.. Hello my son." The sun was just starting to go down.


Sookie must have dosed off because when she woke up Rikki was asleep in her arms and Eric was beside her, smiling. "I look into his face.. and all I see is you. That makes me very happy." Eric said as he bent to kiss her. Sookie met his kiss. "He has your eyes." Sookie said. "He does?" Eric asked. Sookie nodded, "Do you want to hold him?" "I don't want to break him.." Eric said, "He is part human.." "Oh he's stronger than he looks." Sookie said, sitting up and placing the baby into Eric's arms. "He's magnificent." Eric whispered as he brushed his son's blond hair. "He's a miracle." Sookie said and Eric nodded, not taking his eyes of the boy. "Do you think one's going to be enough?" Sookie asked quietly. Eric gave her a look of confusion. "Since I don't imagine the impossible will ever be made possible again.. will one be enough?" Sookie said. Eric looked deep into her eyes. "In a 1,000 years when the impossible has just been made possible... one is more than enough. One is a blessing. It makes me almost believe in something besides myself. All most." Eric said with his cocky half-smile. Sookie smiled too. Just then the nurse came in to give little Rikki his shots. The nurse quietly stuck the needle in before Rikki had time to cry. As soon as the needle was removed the tiny hole heal. "My word!" The nurse said in astonishment. Sookie and Eric exchanged grins. "Miss. Stackhouse, Mr. Northman, there's some people out here wanting to see you, Shall I send them in?" Another nurse asked. "Yes please, send them in." Sookie said as the one nurse placed her son back into her arms. Pam, Tara, Jason, and Jessica all came into the room. "O Sookie.. he's beautiful!" Jessica exclaimed. Sookie nodded in thanks. "He looks like his father." Sookie hummed. "I hope not.. kid's got enough problems as it is." Pam said, kidding of course. "Jess, would you and Jason like to hold him?" Sookie asked. "Would we!" Jess said with a huge smile as Sookie placed the baby in their arms. They were so good with him. Sookie looked at Eric and Eric nodded. "Jess, Jason" Sookie started, "Eric and I have discussed it and even though he's not religious we have decided to have Rikki baptised. I want him raised in the church. Since Rikki is part vampire and human and you both are religious... I was hoping you'd like to be Rikki's God parents." They both nodded, huge smiles on their faces. "We'd be honored." Jason said. Pam was the last to hold the baby. But as soon as she touched him, her face softened and looked almost human. Pam smiled at him and said something in swedish. Eric later told me it ment "welcome to the world little brother." Soon Eric and Sookie would take their son home. All was right.
