Oh god I'm so sorry it's been so long

I was busy trying to finish my other stories.

Then my computer crashed so I lost all the chapters I had planned,

Thankyou to all the devoted readers. I hope you all had a good Christmas and hope you all enjoy this chapter.

"I want to ride with daddy to the fair." Junior said as he put his arms around his mom.

Sookie looked at Eric's car. It was a death trap waiting to happen. "Uhhh."

"Please Mommy, I'm practically indestructible. Grandpa even said so."

She looked at Eric. They both exchanged looks. If Niall declared that their son was practically indestructible what did that mean?

"I'll drive safely Sookie." Eric said.

"Oh just let him, I'm dying to see action tonight and with you there's bound to be if I ride in the car with you." Pam said leaning against Sookie's new car.

Neither Eric nor Sookie appreciated the comment but Amelia and Sam both gave a very brief laugh. Then flushed as they realized that they had laughed at the same time. There was still an awkward tension since the revealing of their future together… with a baby. Unconsciously Amelia began to rub her belly. Sam noticed but didn't say a word. He just didn't know what to say.

"Please Mom."

"Okay but you are riding in your car seat."

Junior made a groan at the mention of the car seat.

Sookie watched as Eric pulled out of the lot. A part of her was frightened. A three year old shouldn't be riding in a Corvette but then again her three year old wasn't exactly like the others. One he was much too intelligent and he had some kind of super powers. So far she'd found out that he had the ability to fly like Eric and he also had indestructibility. She wondered if he had any other special powers at least any like hers.

She turned on the ignition but she didn't know where anything else was. She had to get used to the car for a couple of seconds.

Eric somehow knew and waited while Sookie adjusted to the new car.

"Daddy."

"Hmmm?"

"Why is everything so different? The house is smaller, no one remembers me…"

Eric looked down at his son. What was he supposed to tell him? The truth? That he didn't exist yet in their time? Or that no one here knew him because they'd hadn't met him yet? That even his own mother and father weren't even sure he was the real thing but they hoped with all their hearts that he was?

"Junior, you know that weird things always seem to happen to your mom and me?"

Junior nodded.

"I think it's happening now. I know you're my son. There is this vague feelings like you're a part of me but I don't remember you or much about you."

Junior looked up at him wide eyed and horrified. "You mean that…" Junior gulped. "No one remembers me?"

"But I know I love you Junior as does everybody else especially your Mom. But I have no idea what your favorite food is? What you like to do? What's even your favorite color? It's like as if we need to know you again so be patient if we don't remember stuff okay squirt?"

Junior nodded solemnly. He was silent until Sookie had finally gotten out of the drive way. Eric looked down at him concerned. He began to worry that he shouldn't have said the things he said. It'd been a very long time since he'd been a father.

"Do you want to know my favorite color?" He asked shyly not looking up.

"Yes, I would love that." Eric smiled.

Sookie and Junior began to dance around the room much to Eric's amusement. The two always seemed to love to do that. Just dance around crazy. But it was one of the things that he wouldn't trade for the entire world. He shook his head as he just watched them. He rarely ever joined in as he didn't quite have his wife's or his son's enthusiasm for just letting go.

Sookie and Junior were jumping on the couches while singing God Love Her by Toby Keith.

It was quite entertaining.

There was a knock on the door. Eric was still laughing when he answered the door.

He opened it and saw nothing. He frowned as he looked around. He stepped out when he heard a rustle and closed the door behind him. He walked to where the rustle sounded like it came from.

"I just want the boy Northman."

Eric took a step back. "Where are you, show yourself." Eric demanded.

"The boy." The voice said again.

"I'm not giving you my son you bastard. Show yourself."

"But you already know me Northman." Then the voice chuckled. "You just don't want to admit it."

"Spend as much time with your son and wife as you can. I'll get him one way or another." Then there was rustling again. Then it was gone.

Eric gave a series of foreign curses before going back into the house.

Once he came back in he saw that Sookie had Junior in her arms and both sat on the love seat.

"Eric is something wrong?"

"Junior go on to bed, I'll be there to tuck you in soon."

Junior looked up at Sookie. Sookie nodded then kissed his forehead. "Night Sweet."

"He's back from the restaurant. I thought Junior may have taken care of him… but he's back and he wants our son now that he knows how powerful Junior is."

"I'm calling Niall." Sookie said standing up abruptly.

Eric didn't disagree for once. That frightened Sookie more than it should have.

When Sookie finished talking to Niall she went back into the living room to find that Eric was no longer there.

Instead she found him lying next to their son on their son's twin bed. It looked a little cramp. If it was any other time she would've laughed.

Eric looked up as if she felt her gaze.

"And that's all for tonight." Eric finished. "Now go to sleep, okay. I'll come back in to see you before I have to rest."

Junior nodded then gave a large yawn.

Sookie came back in to give him a kiss on both cheeks and tucked the covers around him.

"Mommy can you get Raltz and Leo for me?"

"Of course." Sookie said as she picked up the two stuffed animals and put them on each side of Junior.

"So what did Niall say?" Eric asked as Sookie sat on his lap.

"There's going to be a war."

Eric looked up at her sharply.

"Niall says that there will be a war and we must send Junior to safety." Sookie said laying her head against his chest. "He says that the monster wants out boy and he'll stop at nothing to have him. I don't understand but he says that this creature will stop at nothing and Niall isn't going to give Junior up without a fight. So there will be war."

Eric closed his eyes. "I shouldn't have asked Junior to use his powers." Eric said angrily.

"Maybe not Eric but if you hadn't the whole restaurant and the people there may have been harmed. You and I both know that it would've taken more than just you to subdue the creatures."

"And Mommy and I's favorite song is God Love Her."

Eric gave a smile. His son was three and had better grammar than most humans. And he also loved Country. Eric knew it must've come from Sookie because he sure as hell didn't listen to country.

"My favorite color is yellow. And I like Tigers. Especially the Bengal Tigers."

Eric frowned. What the, his son liked that stupid weretiger's animal? That was just not right. The fates and Niall were probably laughing their asses off at the moment.

"And my favorite time of the day is when you wake up so that we can do things together."

Eric smiled softly.

"You taught me how to fly for two months. I remember the first time Mommy saw me fly she told me that she was going to kill Daddy in his sleep."

Eric could definitely see her saying that.

Sam sat in the front seat much to Pam's disappointment.

"So you two are going to be having a baby." Pam said looking at Sam.

Sam tightened up while Amelia mumbled something under her breath about damn nosy vampires.

"What kind of baby names have you guys picked out?" Pam asked.

"Pam!" Sookie said.

"I'm genuinely curious. They're like the odd couple. One's too serious while the other isn't. This kind of relationship is like the one's Dear Abby calls Opposites Attract."

Sam groaned. "Since when do Vampires read Dear Abby?"

"Just Pam." Both Sookie and Amelia said together.

Eric and Junior waited by Eric's car as Sookie drove up with the rest. Junior jumped off the front of and then ran to Sookie's car.

He grabbed Sam's hand. "I want to get a candied Apple." He said then proceeded to drag Sam with him.

"Why does he like the shifter?" Pam asked with just a hint of jealousy in her voice.

It was pretty funny to Sookie that Pam was jealous that Junior had taken Sam's hand. Not that she dared laugh out loud.

"I'm pretty sure that Sam's, Junior's eating buddy." Sookie explained.

"Yes really remember Junior was saying about an eating contest…" Amelia said. "Oh my god I'm married to someone who competes with a three year old in a pie eating contest."

Even Eric had to chuckle at Amelia's outburst.

"Let's catch up to the two before we lose them." Pam said.

The four of them had caught up with the boys and found them in line for candied apples. They were second in line.

Eric strode towards them just as they got to the front.

"Two candied apples please!" Junior said holding Sam's hand.

The woman leaned down to look at him. "Coming right up two candied apples. Now how old are you young man?" She was a pleasant lady with a soft old face.

"I'm three." Junior replied.

"Three, oh my. You look much bigger than three are you sure?"

Junior puffed his chest a bit. "Mom's says I'm like Daddy so I'll grow even bigger and just as tall as Daddy and that's why I'm bigger than other three year olds." Junior said.

"Oh I see. Now you must be Daddy." The woman smiled pleasantly at Sam.

Sam shook his head.

The woman looked confused, but then Eric came into view and picked Junior up.

"Uncle Sam's not my Daddy, he is." Junior pointed to Eric.

"Good evening." Eric smiled but showed no fang.

The woman blushed. "Well shut my mouth, I'm sorry I just assumed…"

"It's not a problem."

"Well here are your two apples." The lady said smiling as she handed one to Eric and the other to Sam.

Eric took out a bill and handed it to her. "Keep the change."

The woman looked down. It was a twenty. The two apples had only cost two-seventy five each.

"Thank you." Junior waved from Eric's arms, the candy apple swished side to side. .

While the guys had gone to get the apples Sookie, Pam, and Amelia were all playing the game where you had to aim the water gun into the target. Sookie and Pam were tied thus far when the guys came over. Amelia didn't really know how to shoot so she missed the target half the time and Pam knew minimally how to shoot but with her keen vampire skills she could match up with Sookie whom had been taught to shoot a shot gun at a young age.

In the end Pam was distracted when a particularly attractive person had waltzed by. So Sookie ended up winning.

"Yay Mommy!" Junior cheered.

Eric looked at Pam with a raised eyebrow.

She gave him back an insolent look. "Like I want one of those horrifying plush thingies."

Sookie and Amelia and Junior cracked up while Sam merely looked on and shook his head.

"Miss, which one would you like?" The attendant asked Sookie.

"I don't know, Junior which one do you like?"

Junior looked up at them thoughtfully. Then he pointed to the stuffed Panda.

"I like that one too." Sam said.

"Can you turn into it too?" Pam asked.

Thankfully the attendant didn't hear.

Sam and Sookie both gave her a warning look.

"What I am genuinely curious."

Sam sighed as did Eric.

"She was never this… sarcastic before I met you." Eric said looking at Sookie.

Sookie shrugged "I thought she has always been this sarcastic."

"Here's your Panda Miss." The attendant handed Sookie the Panda.

"And this goes to you sweet." Sookie gave it to Junior.

"Cool." Junior said. "It almost looks like Raltz, but white!"

"Raltz?" Amelia said.

Junior nodded. "Um hmmm. Raltz is my stuffed Panda and he's grey and black. Mommy you want a bite?" Junior held up his apple.

"I can try some?"

Junior nodded.

Sookie smiled then leaned down and took a small bite. "Hmmm that is good."

"Lover you have a bit of caramel." Eric whispered.

Sookie looked at him confused. But then Eric leaned over and kissed the side of her lips where it was.

"Got it." Eric said practically on her lips.

Amelia looked at the scene of Sookie being a mother and felt a pang in her heart. She envied Sookie at this very moment with Eric and Junior. She looked down at her belly. She put a hand on her stomach, she would soon be a… wife and mother if what Junior said was true.

Amelia looked up to look at Sam and found that he was staring at her.

I hope it wasn't a dissapointment.
