A/N I know that I left you guys at cliffy, so here is the next installment. Enjoy!

I own nothing, i just like to play around!

I was asleep and I knew that I was asleep, but I also knew that I wasn't dreaming. I was in a bedroom that I wasn't familiar with and I was in my own body, but only as a visitor. A visitor in a shit load of pain. It was the most excruciating pain that I've ever experienced (and with me that is definitely saying something). I thought that I was dying, but the real me was filled with joy mixed in with the pain.

I pushed aside the pain and tried to focus on what was happening around me. I heard myself speaking and it was a very strange sensation. "Oh God, Eric I really want to be a normal woman and blame you for this, but it was my own magic that got me into this mess."

"And you are doing wonderful Lover. They are going to be so perfect."

"Okay little girl, I want you to push as hard as you can, then you can see the first of your babies."

I was in my own head and I had no idea what was happening until I could feel something coming out between the real me's legs. I took a chance to glance down and there was a head coming out of me.

I sat up like a shot in bed. I looked around trying to get my bearings back. I was alone in bed and I wondered where Eric had gone to. I started to get up to go and find him, when I noticed that my center of gravity seemed off. I looked down at my stomach and I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

When I had gone to sleep my stomach had been flat, now there was a very noticeable bump there. I realized that I had eaten enough to feed an army today, but there was no way that it all went to my stomach like this.

I put my hand on top of this strange bump and it actually moved under my touch. I quickly pulled my hand away and I couldn't stop the scream that escaped my lips. There was definitely something terribly wrong with me and I was freaking out.

When Eric appeared in the doorway I managed to stop my scream, but I couldn't keep the panic off of my face. He looked my up and down not noticing at first. When he took a second look he finally noticed my stomach. The look on his face was not one that a thousand year old vampire should ever have on their face. He looked stunned, surprised and utterly shocked. "Holy Shit!" He came over and sat down beside me on the bed.

"Eric, what is happening to me? My stomach was moving!"

He took my hand and stroked my palm with his thumb. "Sookie, I need you to stay very calm as I explain what had happened."

"You know what's wrong with me? How?"

"I talked to your great-grandfather tonight. I sensed a surge of magic inside of you while you were asleep. I thought that he had done something to you, but he told me that it was your own magic that did it."

His words brought me back to what I'd said in my dream/premonition. I realized what was wrong with me. "I'm pregnant?" It was barely more than a whisper, but I knew that he had heard me. I felt like I was going insane. From the look of my bump it would seem that I was at least a few months along, but that was impossible.

"Yes, you are." I could feel him tense up while he was still holding my hand and I could feel my own panic building inside.

"Eric, is this really something that you want? We've barely gotten together and we are being thrown into the very deep end of a very big pool with everything that is happening. I didn't even realized what I was doing when I made this possible let alone consult you about it. If you really don't want this, well I guess I'll figure something out, but you seemed so happy in my vision…"

"Wait a second. When did you have another vision?"

"When I was sleeping. I saw the day that our children area going to be born. You were so happy as you were holding my hand while I was pushing but…"

"Children? More than one?"

"I'm not sure exactly how many, but I have a feeling that it's going to be twins."

"Twins?"

I couldn't tell if he was pleased with my information or not. I also couldn't stop the tears that started streaming down my face, "Maybe it would be better to not be your Queen. I could take the babies back to Bon Temps and raise them there." I couldn't really believe that I was saying that. I was going against the little bit that I seen in my vision, but I just couldn't stop myself. If Eric was having any doubts than I'd be willing to go against my future happiness if that is what it takes.

I looked up at him through my tears and I could see that his own eyes were rimmed with the beginnings of his own bloody tears. "You would keep me from my own children?"

I got up on my knees and took his face in my hands. "Not if you don't want me to Eric. I would never keep my children from their father. I just don't want you to have any doubts about this. Everything is happening so quickly."

He took my face in his hands mirroring my hold on him. "Sookie, you are giving me something that I thought had been lost to me for over a thousand years. I never had children as a human and I had just excepted the fact that I never would. I want these children and I want you. I love you Sookie Stackhouse."

A new river of tears flowed down my cheeks. "I love you too Eric."

I watched the biggest smile appear on his face and I slipped into his mind. I should have told her sooner. I can feel how happy she is and I wish that she could feel my own happiness.

I watched as bloody tears of joy streamed down his cheeks. I wanted to feel what he was feeling more than anything. I leaned in and licked up his bloody tears. The taste of his blood on my tongue was sweet and intoxicating and I wanted more.

I ran my tongue up his neck and I was desperate to bite him, to taste his blood the same way that he tastes mine. I was going to bite him, I just wished that I had fangs to leave the same marks on him, even if his would only be temporary.

As I pulled back to put enough into my bite that I could draw blood on the first try I wished more than anything that I had a set of fangs. I wished for it so hard that I barely heard the click and I would have taken Eric's neck out if I hadn't eased up on my bite.

My new pair of "fangs" slid into Eric's neck and the blood instantly pooled into my mouth. For some reason his blood tasted even better from his neck and the flow was steady and filling. I was too intent on what I was doing that I didn't even notice that Eric had sunk his fangs into my own neck.

The instant my blood was inside of him it was as if the two of us were one. I could feel the joy and happiness that he felt about the babies and the fact that I had told him that I had loved him. I felt his anxiety about the changes that were happening and his anxiety that this all was going to be too much for me to handle.

I wanted to believe that I could handle everything that was being thrown my way on my own, but I knew that wasn't possible. We were both going to need help with out ventures, but as long as Eric was by my side I knew that we could get through just about anything.

When we pulled away from each other we both had each others blood dripping from our mouths. I looked up into his eyes and it was like I was seeing him for the first time all over again. It was like I looked into his eyes and I could see all the way into his soul. I felt closer to him then I had ever felt to anyone before, but it just wasn't close enough.

We had barely touched since the night before and it was like I needed to touch him now more than I needed to breath. I needed to feel his cold chest pressed against mine, to feel his perfect gracious plenty buried deep inside of me. I reached out to touch him and it was like are bodies were humming, just waiting for the final act to make us completely one.

I ran my hand over his bare chest and I could feel his whole body vibrating, waiting, wanting my touch. I ran my hand up to his neck and noticed that my bite mark hadn't healed yet. I thought that was very strange so I ran my fingers over it. I was about to ask Eric about it, but the second I touched it he pulled me against him and he smashed his lips down onto mine. Our blood mingled together on our lips just seemed to bring our new bond to a whole new level. I wanted to be as close to him as I possibly could. I wanted to feel him pressed against me from head to toe.

I could tell that Eric was feeling the same thing as we both started clawing each others clothes off getting to bare flesh. I wanted to feel his cool marble flesh pressed against my own slowly heating flesh. I wanted his touch more than I even wanted my next breath.

When we were finally naked and pressed against each other everything seemed to slow down. We were just touching and caressing each other, trying to memorize each others topography. I ran my fingers and lips over every inch of him, paying special attention to every scar or dimple. Those marks seemed so special and made Eric distinctly Eric.

Eric was doing the same to me, but soon it wasn't enough. I slid my arms around his neck and looked into his eyes. "Eric." That was all that I needed to say to him. He pinned me down on the bed and thrust into me. I expected it to be rough and fast sex, but he was being slow and tender with me. This was something new for me and I couldn't stop the tears from streaming down my face.

He stopped mid-thrust and looked down at me with concern in his eyes. "My love, am I hurting you? Please do not cry."

"You're not hurting me Eric. I've just never had anyone make love to me so tenderly before. I can't stop my tears, but I don't want you to stop," I pressed kisses all over his mouth and face to let him know he wasn't hurting me. "I love you so much Eric."

"I love you to Lover."

We made love sweet and tenderly and as we were both about to come we each bit into the others neck and drank. I knew that was the final step in completely our body. I felt his life force thrumming steadily inside of me and it brought me more comfort than I ever could have realized. We were both part of each other now and this was exactly how it should be.

After we lay curled up in each others arms and I had never felt so content in my entire life. I wanted to stay wrapped up in Eric's arms forever. That thought brought a whole new set of problems to my mind that I wasn't ready to deal with yet, so I pushed them aside for now.

"Lover, where did your new fangs come from?" He was smiling down at me and I smiled back.

"I wanted to bite you, but I didn't want to do it with my own teeth. I wanted to leave my own fang marks on you, even though they have probably already healed by now."

I watched as he ran his fingers over his neck and he stopped short. "Um Lover, I think you might want to have a look at my neck."

I wanted to believe that he was just screwing around with me, but I could tell that he wasn't. I sat up, looked over at his neck and there were my fang marks still very predominant on his neck. I wanted to laugh and ask him how he felt being marked like a common fang banger, but I had a thought instead. It popped into my mind and I wondered if it would work.

I managed to pop out my new fangs and pricked my finger. I rubbed the drop of blood that had pooled on the tip over the fang marks and watched them disappear. "There, all gone."

"Lover, you are absolutely amazing."

"I am also starving."

"What can I get for you? I will fix anything you want."

"I've got it. I want to show you my new power."

"Well, dazzle me my darling."

I closed my eyes and focused on what I wanted. I wanted a bacon double cheeseburger with ketchup, mustard, mayo, extra pickles, peanut butter and hot fudge, chili cheese fries with a side of honey mustard to dip in, and black raspberry ice cream with bananas, cherries, marshmallow, butterscotch and hot sauce with a tall glass of strawberry milk to wash it down with. I opened my eyes and there was everything I wanted, I had even managed to conjure a tray to set everything on.

My stomach growled as I looked at my dinner and I dug in with gusto. I could feel Eric's eyes on my and his emotions were swirling around inside of him. I swallowed the bite of fries that was in his mouth and looked over at him. He looked absolutely disgusted. "What?"

"Sookie, you can't possibly be enjoying that, can you?"

"Yes I am. This is exactly what I wanted."

"Now I know that I haven't eaten food in more than a millennia, but that looks absolutely repulsive."

"I'm pregnant. I can eat whatever the hell I want. If you don't like it you can just leave." I was angry at him for picking on my food choice, but as he started to get up I grabbed his arm to keep him from going. "No Eric, please don't go." There were tears in my eyes and I almost felt panicked at the thought of him leaving my side.

He pulled me close as he sat back down. "Don't cry Lover, I'm not going anywhere, no matter how foul your food choices are."

My tears instantly dried up and I went back to eating. It only took me a few minutes to finish and I realized that I was still hungry. I decided that I needed something healthy after all that junk food. I conjured a fruit salad and a bowl of yogurt with granola in it and another glass of plain milk this time. "Eric, I'm sorry that I seem to be going crazy. I can't seem to help myself."

"Sookie, don't be sorry. Your body is going through some intense and rapid changes. You have all of your new powers, plus two beautiful babies that you need to care for. It is going to be an adjustment, but we will be able to do this together."

"But what about our new titles as King and Queen of Louisiana and Mississippi? When will we have to officially take over?"

"We were given a month to make the decision. The Authority is going to keep things running temporarily until then. I think that it would be wish to take that time and relax, just the two of us."

I looked up at him and smiled. "I'd like that."

"There are some things that I will need to take care of ahead of time, but I can do that over the phone or through Pam."

"Oh God, Eric, how do you think that Pam is going to handle our news? What are we going to tell people?" I put down my yogurt, not really hungry anymore. I felt panic build up inside of me. My babies were going to be targets now. They were going to be human/fairy/vampire hybrids. How was I going to be able to protect them during the day time. There was only one way that I could feel safe during the day and that wasn't possible.

I could feel the tears start to well in my eyes, but before they could fall Eric pulled me into his arms offering the comfort I needed. "Sookie, I will do anything and everything that I have to so that you and our children will be protected."

"But what about during the day?"

"You let me worry about that. Sookie, you and the babies are my life now. The three of you will come before anything else, including vampire politics."

"But how am I suppose to believe you?" I don't know why I was doubting him now, but I couldn't stop myself.

"I think that four simple words can make you believe in me."

"That's really hard to believe." I focused on his feelings to try to figure out what he was talking about, but his emotions were in a frenzy.

"Let's find out." He stood up and he started pacing the room. He was completely naked and totally distracting, but I pushed that aside.

I sat up in bed and grabbed his hand as he walked by. "Eric, what is it?"

I looked up at him and he did something that I never would have ever expected Eric Northman to ever do in a million years. "Holy Shit!

I know that I did it again, and I personally hate cliff hangers, but I just can't help myself. But this is how I get myself motivated to write. I have to find out for myself what is going to happen next!
