A/N I own nothing, characters belong to the wonderful Miss Harris, I just like to play with them.

I was absolutely mortified. I reached up, grabbed a pillow and covered my face with it hoping that I could stay like that for a while. "What's the matter Lover?"

I pushed the pillow away and looked at him like he was retarded. "Are you insane? My great grandfather just saw me naked and watched me have a mind blowing orgasm and now he wants to talk to me. How the fuck am I suppose to face him now?"

"A mind blowing orgasm? And I really wasn't even trying…"

I took the pillow and smacked him with it. "Focus Eric. I am completely mortified. How am I suppose to face him after what he just saw?" I tried to burrow into his bed, but he grabbed me around the waist and set me on his lap so that he could look at me. He gaze immediately went down to my exposed breasts and I quickly covered myself as best I could. "Eric."

"Sookie there is nothing to get so worked up about. Supernatural beings have different views about nudity and sex than humans do. I am positive that Niall is not totally bothered about what he saw like you think he is."

"Are you sure?" I wanted to believe him, but I had my doubts. All these morels and ideals that had been ingrained in my brain from a young age were not letting my doubt and panic go just yet.

"Yes. You really need to learn how to relax more Lover." He slid his hand up my thigh. "I think I know of a very good way to help you relax." His hand started to travel even higher, but I quickly scrambled off of his lap before he could go all the way up.

"Eric please, I can't do this now with my great grandfather in the house."

He looked up at me like a child on Christmas morning. "Do you mean that we will be able to continue this later this evening?"

I couldn't stop the smile the spread on my face as he looked at me. "That will all depend on what Niall has to say to me."

He was before me in an instant and slid his arms around my waist. "Would you at least stay with me here in my bedroom?"

I was shocked. From what I knew vampires don't like humans to know where they rest for the day. Not only was Eric letting me know, he wanted me to stay with him. When we were in Dallas it had been a luxury to sleep in the same bed as Bill and I really wanted to have the same feeling with Eric, but I had to make sure that he was sure. "Are you sure Eric? I don't want you to be inconvenienced in any way." I placed my hand on his chest and without realizing it I slipped into his head once again.

She could never inconvenience me no matter what she did. If I had things my way she would never leave my side. I have never cared for a women has much as I care for Sookie. I wish that I was human so that I could give her the life that I knew deep down she really wants. I can picture her belly swollen with our unborn child. Oh stop it. I can't think of such things that will never come to pass.

I couldn't stop the stray tear that rolled down my cheek at his thoughts. Just the idea of having a child with Eric made my heart swell with joy and sink with despair. He was right, it was no use thinking of things that would never happen. I quickly wiped away the stray tear, but not before Eric noticed. "Lover, what has made you so sad?"

"Nothing." I pulled out of his arms to try to compose myself. I knew that I would have to face Niall at some point, but I definitely needed to be dressed to do it. "Where did you put my bag? I need to put some real clothes on if I'm going to be able to face my great grandfather."

"I put your bag in the guest room. I'll go and get it." I walked out of the room at human speed and I couldn't stop the tears that flowed down my face. I sat back down on the bed with my hand resting on my flat belly and let my tears flow. That was one of the biggest things that should effect my decision, but could I ever really take the chance that I might pass my disability onto a child? I would be able to help my child if that did happen, but still that would be practically torturing a child. I don't think that I could do that. If I did I would be completely selfish and that just wasn't me.

I was lost in my sad thoughts and I never heard Eric come back into the room. "Sookie?" I looked up at Eric not even trying to hide my tears from him. "How long have you been able to read my thoughts?"

I was usually able to hide my surprise at things that I heard, but what he said I just couldn't hide it. I felt like I was going to be sick. I just wanted to dig a hole and hide from the world. I knew I couldn't hide it from him anymore and I just prayed to God that he wouldn't kill me. "Since you drank from me at the bar before you went out into the sun." I scrambled up the bed to try to put some distance between us.

"Sookie, what are you doing?"

"Please don't kill me. I never wanted to hear vampires thoughts."

He walked over and stood at the foot of the bed. I could see the calm on his face, but I could feel that his emotions were conflicted. I should have taken the extra time to try to sort through them to see if I should run for my life, but it wouldn't matter anyway. "How many other vampire's thoughts have you heard?"

I was trembling all over. I was more scared of Eric right now than I was when Steve Newlin had me locked in the basement of the Fellowship of the Sun church. I didn't want to be scared of Eric. I wanted him to understand that I didn't want to hear his and Bill's thoughts. "Just you and Bill. I heard that he was sent by the Queen to procure me for her." I watched him take a step forward and didn't want to see it coming. I buried my head in a pillow and prayed it would be over quickly.

I felt him get on the bed and instead of hurting me he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me against him. As he touched me he opened his mind up willingly to me. Lover, I would never do anything to hurt you. As long as we keep this a well guarded secret, then we could use it to our advantage and it would help keep you safe. He paused for a second. Can you project your thoughts into my mind?

I had never tried that before, but if I could communicate with Eric telepathically that would be a huge advantage. I opened up my mind and focused on the buzz of his mind. Can you hear me?

Clear as day. This could be fun. He sent me a slide show of all of the things that he wanted to do to me when we were finally alone. I started trembling for a whole different reason. "Eric I need to get changed so that we can go down and talk to Niall."

I felt his fingers trail up my thigh and under my shirt. "He can wait. He did interrupt us earlier after all. It would serve him right." He started kissing the back of my neck and it was really hard to pull away from him.

I forced myself off of the bed and grabbed my bag. "Eric I have to talk to Niall. He might have some more information about my Fae heritage."

He got up and came over to me. "Alright, I will go downstairs and entertain the fairy while you get ready." He bent down and brushed his lips against mine. I wanted to deepen the kiss, but we had company waiting.

I watched him leave, then grabbed my bag and went into the bathroom. I pulled out a bra and panty set along with a pair of baggy sweatpants and an oversized hooded sweatshirt. I wanted to cover up as much of myself as I could after the little show that Eric and I put on for my great grandfather. I could feel my cheeks grow hot again and I took a few deep breaths to calm myself down.

When I felt I was calm enough I made my way downstairs to the living room. Niall was sitting on the sofa where I'd had my very erotic dream earlier and I could feel the embarrassment come over me again. I pulled the hood of my sweatshirt over my head to try to hide and sat across from him in an overstuffed chair. It was very comfortable and I wanted to disappear in it.

I looked at the two men and Niall was smiling at me and Eric was smirking at me. I wanted to die, but I decided to just put on my big girl panties and get this over with. "So great grandfather, what can you tell me about my fairy heritage? Where did fairies even mix with my bloodline?"

The smile he had on his face vanished at that question. "Sookie, what do you know of your grandmother Adele's husband?"

"My grandpa Mitchell was a good man. He worked hard to give my Gran, my dad and my Aunt Linda a good life."

"Yes he did Sookie, the problem with that is that he was not the father of Corbett and Linda Stackhouse."

My mind seemed to check out for a minute. What he said couldn't be true. He was my Gran's husband. He had to be there father. "That's not possible."

"Your grandfather wasn't able to give your grandmother the child that she wanted so desperately. One day a young man wandered into the yard when you grandfather was at work and you Gran was hanging clothes on the line. That young man was my son Fintan. The moment he saw your grandmother he was instantly smitten. He went and spoke to her and the feeling was mutual."

I felt like my whole world was being turned upside down. "Wait a minute. Are you telling me that my grandmother cheated on her husband?"

"Yes. It was the only way for her to conceive the children that she so desperately wanted.

"After the children were born Fintan returned to the Fae Realm. He loved your grandmother very much, but she would never leave her husband and he couldn't stand to see it. He watched his children grow from afar, but never interfered. He was watching for traits of the Fae to manifest, but the only thing that appeared was that your father had the natural charm with the opposite sex that the Fae possess."

"So what makes me so different?"

"You my dear child, possess the essential spark of the Fae. I have done some research and found out that you possess more than just your telepathy."

My mouth dropped open. I possessed more powers? I knew about the glow that came from my hand when I was angry, but I didn't have any other powers. I would know if I had more powers, right? "What kind of powers?"

"You will be able to teleport, some call it popping. You are able to pop from place to place by just focusing on it, you will have the ability to see the future, you will be able to move objects with your mind and conjure anything that your heart desires."

That last one didn't sound so bad along with the teleporting power. Being able to get myself out of danger would be a definite perk, but I didn't know how I would feel being able to see the future. And being able to move things with my mind, that definitely has it's perks as well. "When will my new powers start to manifest themselves?"

"That's the tricky part. There is no way to tell. It could be a few hours, a few days, weeks, months, even years. There may even be other powers that are dormant inside you. Only time will tell."

Well that was just peachy fucking keen. Just more reasons for people to come after me. "Is there anything else that I need to know for right now. I'm famished and I would like to eat and then go to sleep."

"I think that is more than enough information for you to muddle over for now my child. " He stood up and walked over to stand in front of me. "I should go now. Would it be too much to ask for a hug from my great granddaughter?" I wanted to tell him no, that I really had no idea who he was, but deep down I felt a kinship to him and knew that I couldn't deny him this simple request. I stood up and wrapped my arms around him. The moment we touched a ball of white light exploded around us. I was freaking out on the inside, but Niall seemed very pleased. "Apparently you won't have to wait long for your powers after all." He placed a gentle kiss to my forehead and disappeared.

I closed my eyes and sat back down in the chair. I felt slightly dizzy after that little light show. I didn't know what to do now. I was more confused than ever about who and what I was and I had no idea who I could trust or even turn to. I dropped my head in my hands and was about to start crying when I felt a pair of cold, strong hands on my arms. "Sookie, are you all right? I know that this must all be very hard for you to deal with and I will help you as best that I can. Can I get you something to eat or drink?"

I looked up and was met with his face just inches from mine. I looked into his blue eyes and I wanted to get lost in him. I wanted him to take away these confusing thoughts and replace them with passion and pleasure. Before I even thought about what I was doing my lips crashed down on his and I tangled my fingers in his hair. He tensed at first, then deepened the kiss. He slid his arms around my waist and lifted me up into his arms. I wrapped my legs around his waist and pressed myself close to him, but it just didn't seem to be close enough. I needed him more in this moment than I needed my next breath.

After a moment Eric pulled away and looked me in the eye. "Sookie, are you sure? I can still stop now if you're not, but if we continue, I won't be able to hold back."

I didn't want him to hold back anything. I could already feel my new power flowing through me and it made me feel strong and invincible. I wanted everything that Eric had to give. "Eric, I have never been more sure of anything. I wanted you to take me upstairs and make love to me until dawn."

A smile spread across his face. "Anything for you Lover."

Next chapter I will have some lovely lemons. Thanks to all for reading and reviewing. It gives me all the more reason to write now that we don't have our weekly Skargard fix. (Nine months is far too long in between seasons). We'll just have to do what we've got to do to get through.
