Sorry it took a while.


Eric POV

I could feel my wife very close to me. Then I heard the door open and my child say. "Oh this will be a night to remember." So Sookie was here… at last. I lifted my eyes to look at the front. The image in front of me made me freeze.


Standing there was Sookie in her short black shorts and white shirt. But that wasn't the uniform that made all eyes in the bar turn to look at her. Everyone included every vampire there, every fangbanger, and tourist. All stared in shock.

Sookie looked positively glowing as she held a small boy in her arms. The sight made many of the people there just pause and stare.

"Daddy!" Jr. cried then suddenly flew out of Sookie's arms. Everyone was frozen in shock even Pam and Sookie.

Everyone watched wide eyed as the boy zoomed through the air.

Sitting on the throne was Eric Northman, Sheriff of Area Five, but this time he had a small boy in his lap hugging his neck.


Sookie POV

I stared at the sight of Eric with Jr. And oh god they looked very much like Father and Son. Maybe Jr. bore a resemblance to me but it was only because he had the same blonde hair and blue eyes but that was where it ended. He looked like Eric and you would have to be a blind person to not see how much they looked like each other.

Oh gods he was really mine and Eric's baby. But how? Vampires can't have babies. Can they?


Eric POV

I stared at the boy on my lap. He just called me Daddy. A part of me was asking what the Fuck. Another felt a protective urge to the boy and love? No fondness, no I just didn't know.

I could feel Sookie's mixed feeling. Concern, love, happiness, confusion, disbelief, all wrapped in one. I felt almost the same.

"Who are you?" I whispered at last.


Jr. POV

I let go of Dad's neck and sat down on his lap. Mom and Dad were so weird. Did they just suddenly up and forget my name?

"Silly goose. My name's Tray Naill Eric Northman." I said looking at dad shaking my head slightly at him.


Eric took a large gulp of air that was unnecessary but it made him calm down a little.

"You're my son." Eric stated.

"Of course." The boy said earnestly. "Dad and Mom are acting so silly today."

Eric stood up now holding the little boy to him like a natural. The little boy snuggled into him.

"Pam, Sookie come into my office." Eric said rather hoarsely.

"Pam close the door behind you." Eric said not even bothering to look up. He had Jr. still standing on his lap giggling and was looking at only him.

"Daddy's staring at me funny." Jr. said still giggling as he turned in Eric's arm to face Sookie.

The same time he turned to look at Sookie, Eric did.

It was the first time in a while that Sookie had seen that face of adoration. She hadn't seen it since Eric had amnesia and it tugged on her heart.

Guess he didn't hire a kid. Sookie thought to herself. Somehow she was both relieved and more confused than ever.

"Master may I ask him take him while you and your wife talk?" Pam asked.

Eric looked from Jr. to Pam with a pained look. He didn't want to let him go. As ridiculous as it sounded Eric just knew the boy was his.

"I want to go with Aunt Pam!"

Pam made a small face at being called Aunt again but was expressionless otherwise.

"Yes, my wife and I do need to talk, more so than ever at this moment."

Jr. got off of Eric's lap and walked to Sookie. "Love you." He said before kissing her cheek.

"Love you too sweet." Sookie said kissing the top of his head.

Then walked to Pam and grabbed her hand. He walked out the door holding Pam's hand, chatting excitedly.

"I'd never thought I would ever see that sight." Sookie said.

"Lover we must talk." Eric said looking almost distant.

"I know." Sookie said closing the door.

Jr. sat on a stool spinning around while Pam watched him closely.

Pam noticed that the boy probably acted more like Sookie was with his abruptness, his politeness and well southern manners. But he had moments that he was very much Eric. He smiled like Eric did. He also looked just as you would imagine Eric did when he was a kid. The frosty ice blue eye and brilliant blonde hair. But he also had the charm that Eric just oozed out.

"Aunt Pam can we please go for some ice cream."

Pam raised her eyebrows at the boy. "Ice cream." She said arching an eyebrow.

"Please." He said eyes shining.

"Don't grovel." Pam said before sighing. "Fine we'll get ice cream."

"He just appeared out of nowhere." Eric repeated.

Sookie nodded.

"And he knows, Amelia, the shifter, and your brother not to mention Pam." Eric looked up. "I do not know how to explain the circumstances. I've never heard about this happening before. Ever. I do not want to be weary because a part of me knows he is my son but at the same time I do not know if this is a trick of some kind."

"Welcome to Baskin Robbins." The boy behind the counter said before looking up. Before him stood a tall blonde women in all black emphasizing her pale skin. "Ya yo you're a vamp." The boy stuttered. He knew there was a vampire bar near but he never knew Vamps would go to an ice cream parlor.

"Really." The blonde vamp said in a bored voice.

"Ugh um ugh can ah ugh help you?" The boy said starting to sweat despite the frigid temperature.

"Not me" Pam looked at the boy as if he was an idiot for even asking. "this one wants ice cream."

"Hi there I would like a small waffle cone and chocolate chip ice cream."

The poor ice cream boy just stared at the little boy in shock. His eyes lifted to meet the vampires. He had a horrified look on his face as he imagined the many scenarios of the little boy being bitten. Then it turned to a glare as he narrowed his eyes at her.

"Get out now, I have a stake." He boy said shakily.

Pam rolled her eyes. "Boy just get the ice cream. I'm not going to hurt a hair on the boy."

"Don't talk to her like that; Aunt Pam would never hurt me." The little boy cried outraged.

Pam's face shifted though laughter at the little one's remark, to annoyance at the pathetic human, to a sort of warmth from the boy defending her even though it was unnecessary, to blank again.

"The only explanation that would make sense is a fairy but Niall closed the portal." Eric said. "But then again you never know, you might have a rogue fairy that got stuck here or they somehow found an opening."

"Eric I just, Eric I want him so much to be the real deal. Never in my wildest dreams had I thought about a child with you but now that's he's here in front of me. I don't care if he's a trick." Sookie said smiling sadly. "I finally found someone that loves me unconditionally and I-"

Eric looked up sharply at her. "What did you just say?" Eric asked his voice laced with anger.

"Eric you heard me." Sookie sighed. "You may think that you love me Eric but the words have never really come out before." Then she looked up but Eric was no longer in his seat.

Eric took Sookie by surprise when he lifted her out of her seat and onto the edge of his table. "Have you ever heard the saying actions speak louder than words?" Eric said his eyes burning before leaning her over his desk.

In the end Jr. got the ice cream for free without Pam even having to glamour him. They both sat on the chairs outside.

"Let's play a game!"

"Like what."

"I spy."

Pam looked at the child. "No."

"You never like to play that game." The boy humphed. "Twenty questions."

Pam thought about it. Maybe she could find out answers while indulging the boy. "Okay."

"What was your favorite food to eat when you were human?"

"Probably Pastries."

"Why?"

"Isn't it supposed to be my turn to ask a question?"

"Oh yeah Sorry Aunt Pam." Jr. said smiling, with ice cream around his lips.

"I guess I might as well answer though." Pam said then winced. She'd never been this indulgent of human's before not even Sookie but then again if he was Eric and Sookie's he wasn't all human then.

"My cook used to sneak pastries just for me because my mother disagreed with them. She said they caused our skin to become ugly and that we did not need them. So I of course loved them and ate them any chance I could."

Jr. started bursting into peals of laughter. Pam even cracked a small smile at the boy.

"When were you born?" Pam started subtle.

Jr. looked at her confused but answered nonetheless. "April 21, 2011."

Pam looked up sharply. "What's today's date?"

"June 6, 2014. Silly." Jr. said before taking another lick of his ice cream.

"Hold on tight." Pam warned as she swooped the little boy in her arms and ran.

They both made it back to Fangtasia in mere minutes.

"Indira take care of him for now." Pam said giving Jr. to the surprised vampire.

"Wait Pam what am I supposed to do with him?"

"Just whatever he wants."

"We need to talk. I found out something important master." Pam said barging into Eric's office.

Eric's hair was a mess and Sookie's uniform looked very wrinkled. Eric's eyes were red. "Pam." He growled.

"Where's Jr.?" Sookie asked as she saw that Pam no longer had him.

"With Indira, she'll take care of him." Pam said abruptly. Sookie opened her mouth to protest but before either could say anything. "Your son thinks it's 2014."
