Sorry it's been so long people.

It's a holiday finally so I promise to write more sooner.

Enjoy

Eric could feel the last of the sun's rays going down. He waited impatiently for it to set. When the last of the sun set, he got out of the hole. He hated having to crawl into the god forsaken hole every time but to be closer to Sookie…

Eric wanted to immediately go down to see them but he knew that he should take a shower first.

When he came down from the taking the shower he saw three lumps on the couch. Eric raised his brow but gave a small chuckle when he saw that it was Amelia, Sookie, and Junior.

Junior was snuggled against Sookie and you could hear very faint snores coming from the cherub.

He couldn't help but look down at his wife and future child and just stare. He leaned down to brush a lock of Sookie's hair behind her ears. This woman was amazing. He'd known it since that first night he saw her there at Fangtasia with Compton but he'd never imagined that she'd give him a reason to really want to live again. She'd not only given him that but now a chance to be a father again to live again, to have his legacy continued. She was beyond anything he'd ever imagined.

He didn't want to disturb them at the slightest even though he selfishly wanted them to be awake so that he could be with them and the limited time he had with them wasn't wasted… but he couldn't wake them up.

Sookie woke up when she heard the rumbling of a car in the drive way. She almost shot out of the couch until she remembered that she wasn't the only one on the couch.

Jr. woke up when he felt the body beside him shifting. He sat up and rubbed his eyes. "Mummy?"

"Hey Sook why is there a red Mercedes SUV in your drive way. It's a beauty."

"What?" Both Sookie and Amelia shouted.

Jr. had climbed down the couch and was already running out the door to see his uncle. "Uncle Jason!"

Jason wasn't quite ready for a three year old to jump on him but he caught the boy just in time. "Hey… uh kiddo." Jason said a bit uncertainly.

"Jason what are you talking about and be careful with him."

"Um Sook, here you take him." Jason said quickly handing the boy back to Sookie. "The car's right behind me. You're not dating a new vampire are you?" Jason asked.

"Mom's with dad silly goose." Junior said shaking his head at his uncle.

Amelia and Sookie both laughed as the little boy chastised his uncle.

"Oh yeah." Jason said laughing too. "Sorry I forgot about it."

"It's okay." Junior patted Jason's arm before putting his two arms around Sookie's neck again.

"So where's this car that you're talking about?" Amelia asked in between laughs.

Jason stepped aside.

Both the women's eyes widened and their jaws dropped as they peered for the first time at the bright cherry red Mercedes. It was a sleek expensive looking car and was a beauty alright as Jason said.

"That's your car Mom." Junior said looking at it and seeing nothing new.

Sookie looked down at him in shock.

Jason just stared at the two. "Wait what? That's your car Sookie?!"

Amelia went right up to it and peered in the windows. "I think he's right Sookie, there's a car seat in there and… hey look there's an envelope on the windshield." Amelia pointed.

Jason saw it and grabbed it giving it to Sookie.

Sookie looked at it doing nothing. She was hesistant to open it afraid of what it may contain.

"Open it Sis." Jason urged trying to help his sister out.

"Come on Sookie it's not like as if it's a death wish or something." Amelia said. "It has to be from Eric."

"I know but that's what I'm afraid of."

Amelia rolled her eyes while Junior sat in Sookie's arms puzzled.

"Mom it's just a letter."

Sookie knew he was right so she sighed before opening the letter. The first thing she saw inside was a key. It was the key to the Mercedes. Inside was also a note.

I hope that you will forgive me but I saw this as I passed a dealer. I knew it was made for you the moment I saw it. It already has the car seat for our son all set to go. I'll be back tonight. Would you accompany me to the county fair in Shreveport this evening? Of course with Junior. We need to make up for lost time my wife.

-Your husband Eric

"Ahhhhh." Amelia said reading over her shoulder.

"Oh god, Eric." Sookie said in between feeling delighted and slightly angry. He got her a new car without her consent but it was a sweet gesture. It was just that sometimes she wanted him to lavish her with his attention and be there for her not hand her gifts like as if she was a mistress of his. However he had gotten the baby seat for Junior.

Sookie stared at her cell phone. Finally she dialed Eric's number.

"Lover."

"I wish you hadn't bought me a Mercedes. You now a station wagon would've done it."

"Never, only the best for you."

"You didn't happen to get the information from our son did you?"

"No, why?"

Sookie stared at her cell phone. "It was nothing." She said smiling deciding not to tell him as it would only succeed to give him an unneeded ego boost. "Our answer is yes. But Junior says only if Aunt Pam comes with."

"Of course." Eric smiled.

"I have to go. See you soon then?'"

"Of course." Eric waited for Sookie to hang up first before doing so himself.

Eric was sitting in his booth at Fangtasia. He stared at the male in front of him.

"The information will not be cheap rest assure that."

"I don't care about the damn price Whitler. Just find the information on these zombie like supes."

"Fine. But I've never heard of such a thing before. It may take a while for me. Each day will be a hundred that I didn't make finding other cases."

Eric gave him a stare that stopped him.

"Okay so maybe it's sixty per day." Whitler said.

"My accountant will be in touch." Eric said. Then he got up. "If I find that you are slacking off, be prepared for unpleasant visits."

"Pam we will be closing early tonight."

"For what?" She asked in her bored tone.

"Because we are going to the fair."

Pam looked at him like he was crazy. "I'm sorry but I just swore you said WE were going to the fair."

"I did."

Sookie was wearing a pair of jeans and an of the shoulder top. Meanwhile Junior was adorable in his white shirt so much like his dad's trademark and a pair of tan overalls. Sookie found it more fun to dress up her son than it was to even dress up herself.

"I want to put like a cowboy hat on his head." Amelia gushed.

Junior shook his head. "No thanks Aunty Amelia. Is uncle Sam going with us to the fair?"

Sookie and Amelia both looked at each other than back to the boy.

"No we weren't planning to sweet. Why?"

"Well it's just that Aunty you won't go out without uncle Sam unless it's you and Mummy together in a girls." He stopped trying to find the right words. "Daddy calls it your girls' night." He finished.

Amelia looked at Sookie half horrified. "You don' t think?"

Sookie didn't answer, she was honestly baffled too.

"Sam, Sam Merlotte." Amelia said wide eyed.

"Junior, what is Amelia's relationship with Uncle Sam?"

"They're married, don't you remember?"

"Honey, there's a coat on your bed, can you go get it?" Sookie told her son.

Junior nodded enthusiastically before going off.

"Oh my god, oh my god."

"Amelia breathe, breathe."

"Sam Merlotte. What, how, but I mean, he's cute yes. But still he's in love with you Sook."

Sookie thought it through. Sam and Amelia. They would make a cute couple. Actually they'd make a great couple and were both her best friends. Sam was stable, exactly what Amelia needed. While she had a wild fun side that Sam desperately needed too.

"Obviously not for very long." Sookie couldn't help but smile.

"Wait does this mean I'm carrying Sam Merlotte's child in the future?"

They heard a thump in the front of the house.

Both ran to the front to find the subject of their conversation passed out from the shock of hearing their words.

"Oh dear." Amelia said. "You think he heard us?"

"Yeah Amelia, I think he might've."

Sam felt a cool cloth be placed over his fore head. His eyes fluttered before he stared into warm brown eyes.

"Hey Sam." Amelia said brightly.

"What's this about you carrying my child?" Sam asked lightly grabbing Amelia's hand on his forehead.

"Oh you heard." Amelia said weakly.

Sam nodded.

"It's a long story."

"We have all night."

"Yes do tell Amelia." Pam said coming into the front door followed by Eric.

"I would love to hear this story." Eric added.

"I bet you would, it has to do with your son from the future."

"What?" Sam asked.

"Oh, yeah you know the little boy from yesterday?" Sookie asked.

Sam nodded.

"He's our son… from the future." Eric answered.

"Oh." Sam said. "Sookie why do all these things seem to happen to you?"

"I ask myself that everyday Sam."

"Daddy!" Junior yelled when he came thumping down the stairs. He flew right to Eric, whom caught him in his arms.

"Hello buddy." He said without thought.

Sookie couldn't help but laugh.

"I missed you all day. Guess what we did today?"

"I don't know, what did you do?"

"We played Scrabble! I beat Aunty Amelia but Mommy still won."

"Oh really."

Junior nodded. "Next time we can play together and we can beat Mommy together." Junior put his small hands on his dad's face.

Eric took Junior's fingers and blew a raspberry.

Junior went into a giggle fit.

Eric smiled as he held his son in his arms.

"I love you daddy."

"Love you too Junior."

"Daddy why doesn't Aunty Amelia have the bump anymore?" Junior whispered into Eric's ear.

Pam gave a laugh while Sam's curiosity was once again peeked.

Sookie you are going to explain everything to me by tomorrow

Sookie looked at Sam then nodded.

"So you joining us to the fair then shifter?" Eric asked.
