Sorry it's been so long

Hope you all enjoy


"This room brings back… very pleasant memories." Eric said as he leaned against the door frame, his head nearly reaching the top.

Sookie shrieked as she pulled her shirt back down. But she was only in her underwear and shirt. Sookie grabbed the nearest thing and flung it at him while yelling get out.

Eric left the bathroom laughing and closed the door just in time for the soap to hit the door.

"Daddy what'd you do?" Jr. asked standing in the door way, pajamas in his arms.

Eric looked down and saw Jr. He grinned as he picked up the blonde haired blue eyed cherub.

"Nothing."

"Uh huh." Jr said unconvinced.

"You aren't doubting me are you?" Eric asked raising an eyebrow then wiggled them comically.

Jr bit his lip but then busted into peals of giggles.

"Now son, men don't giggle. We smirk or give a chuckle." Eric said much too seriously.

"Don't tell him that!"

"Mommy!" Jr. wiggled trying to get down so Eric took the hint and put him down.

"Hey sweetie. Now don't you listen to your father. I personally like your giggles."

"I know that Mom." Jr said almost exasperated. Like as if he'd heard it a thousand times before. For all they knew he might've. "Mom why is my room all different?"

"Uhh." Sookie said. Then she turned to look at Eric. The two shared a look.

"Jr. we need you to tell us exactly what you remember last." Eric said as he sat his son down on the bed.

"Mom?"

"Please sweetie." Sookie said placing him in her lap and brushing a curl behind his ear.

"Well Mom was talking to Grandpa…"

"Grandpa?" Sookie asked.

Jr. looked up at her. "Um hmm. You and him were whispering to each other. I couldn't hear anything. Then dad and aunt Pam came into the room and said that it was time. Then you all took turns hugging me and kissing me. Even Aunt Pam kissed me." Jr. giggled at that.

Eric and Sookie both smiled trying to see it. Eric couldn't really but Sookie imagined it in her head and it brought a smile to her face.

"And then Grandpa told me to get into dad's car and he would come get me when it was safe. Until then he told me to tell Mom that he's still the prince, that there are always loop holes and he's always watching her. Also he loves us this much." Jr. stretched out his arms as far as they could go.

Eric and her shared a look.

"What's your grandfather's name?" Eric asked.

"Grandpa Niall silly."

Sookie felt a tear make its way down her face. It was Niall then. It had to be. Niall made Jr. possible.

"I should have known it was the fairy." Eric muttered. But Jr.'s story had him wondering. Naill must've sent Jr. to them, the past but why? Was something the matter or was this meant to happen to make sure that Sookie saw their future. He hoped it was the latter but he couldn't see himself letting the fairy especially Niall to take his son away from him. It must be the first but what could it be?

"Ugh I ate too much ice cream." Jr. said falling back dramatically, his stomach sticking in the air sitting between the two on the bed.

Sookie gave a laugh as she ruffled his hair.

"Now what are those?"

"Aunt Amelia bought me new pajamas!"

"Did she really?"

"Uh huh. They have airplanes on them!"

"Cool. Do you need help putting them on?"

"Please." Jr gave a tooth showing grin.

Eric silently sat on the rocking chair just watching the two. He was just living in the moment watching as his son and his wife.

"Okay arms up cutie." Sookie said. Jr. lifted them quickly.

"Why don't I get nicknames like that?" Eric pouted. Both mother and son turned to look at him.

Sookie rolled her eyes at him then turned back to the task at hand. She just missed Eric winking at their son.

Jr. giggled as Sookie buttoned up his pajamas, lightly brushing his sides.

"You're not ticklish are you?" Sookie asked.

Jr's eyes widened. He shook his head frantically.

"Uh huh." Eric echoed Jr's earlier words.

The both of them began to tickle him.


2014

"He should be safe for the time being." Niall reassured his great granddaughter.

"I know but I just I… I'm just worried, I guess motherhood just makes you that way doesn't it." Sookie said shakily.

"He's fine lover." Eric said kissing his wife's head. "He'll be fine with us in the past. Once this war ends, we'll bring him back but it's not safe for him here yet. But we'll make it safe soon enough so that he can come home to us okay?"

"I know he's safer there but I haven't felt him this far away from me ever. I can't even feel him. I've never had this feeling before. I've always been able to feel him, how he is, when he needs us. Now if he needs us…"

"I know sweet heart but he'll be fine I promise."

"It is for the best. You know that the first chance they get, they would take him." Niall said softly.

"Where's Pam?" Sookie asked suddenly looking around noticing that the female vampire was missing.

"She's somewhere in the woods so that we can't see that how attached she is to the boy."

"Sounds like Pam." Sookie said giving a weak laugh.

"Yeah, she'll never admit that she's the one that comes in each night to make sure he's safe at night even though we all know it."


"Good night sweetie." Sookie said tucking Jr in. She gave him a kiss on the forehead as she pulled the covers up.

"I love you." Jr said as he reached his hands out for a hug.

"Love you too." Sookie said hugging him. Then gave him a kiss on his button nose.

Sookie passed Eric on her way out.

"We have a lot to talk about."

"I'll heat up a trueblood for you. Now say goodnight to your son."

"Wouldn't miss it for the world."

Sookie sat down on the kitchen table a tea for her and a trueblood for Eric.

She looked at the clock. It said one thirty-eight. She blinked trying to keep herself awake. "Maybe I'll just rest my head a little…"


Eric came down half an hour later because Jr had wanted him to read him a bed time story. One that Sookie apparently had in her room. Harry Potter. Even he was amazed, his three year old son could understand Harry Potter. He didn't even think that was possible but… Jr wasn't fully human. He was something. He wasn't vampire. Liked Ice cream a little too much for that. And he could fly. He just remembered that now since the night seemed to have stopped spinning. So was he half-human, half-vampire? Or was there some other strong otherworldly blood in him. Fairy perhaps. But he didn't smell like one.

Eric got down to the kitchen still contemplating but stopped as soon as he spotted Sookie asleep on the kitchen table. That brought memories too.

He picked her up bridal style and as he began to walk to the stairs, he heard a noise from outside. He looked up and caught the culprit. It was Bill Crompton.

Eric growled. Bill glared back.

"Over my dead body will you get her again Crompton."

"You're already dead."

"I don't act like it." Was all Eric said then he walked up the stairs.


How was it?
