A/N Is there anyone still with me on this? The muses just keep fighting me, that and there is a lot going on in this chapter. I have taken a dramatic license with a lot in this chapter, so we are just gong to run with it. Next chapter may or may not be a wedding, we'll see. Enjoy!

I knew that I was asleep, but I could tell that I wasn't dreaming. I wasn't having a vision, but I was somewhere that felt familiar to me. I was on a beautiful sandy beach at sunset with the waves washing peacefully up onto the shore.

I should have been afraid because I was surrounded by fourteen strange creatures. I could tell right away that they weren't human, but I could feel their power. They looked human and all of them felt very familiar to me and I became confused. Where was I and why was I here?

They were all absolutely beautiful and handsome and I could sense that they were all old, much older than Eric. I knew that they could hurt me if they wanted to, but I knew they wouldn't do anything to hurt me and my sweet babies. I also knew somehow it was these creatures that helped me have my babies that I now carried and any others that Eric and I would be blessed with in the future.

Two of the creatures walked up to me. One was a male and the other was a female. They looked very much alike and I knew somehow that they were twins. "Hello Sookie." The female greeted me, then pulled me into a warm and somehow comforting embrace. Her embrace was like being wrapped up in a warm blanket. It reminded me of Gran in a way. "Sookie my dear, we know that you have many questions about you current situation." She place her hand on my baby bump and there were two hard kicks. "Those are two strong young men that you are carrying in your belly, the first of many."

I didn't really like the sound of that. I wanted babies, but I didn't want to spend the rest of my life barefoot and pregnant. "How many children will I have, um, I'm sorry, I don't know your name."

"My name is Freya and you will bare thirteen children over the next five years. There will be seven boys and six girls. Each of your children have been blessed by each of us for a specific purpose."

I couldn't stop my mouth from dropping open. I didn't know what shocked me more, the fact that I was going to pop out thirteen kids in a short amount of time, or that I was talking to a Norse Goddess. What the hell was a Goddess doing in my dream? "We are all here to help you Sookie?"

"Did you just read my mind?"

"Of course my dear, where else did you think you got that particular power from?"

I think I was in a state of shock that I was never going to come back from after this. "You gave me my telepathy?"

"Technically it was my blood. You have been blessed with the blood of all of those that stand before you except for Heimdell over there. He blessed your little Hunter with his blood."

"I am very confused by all of this. Why would you do this? I am just a barmaid from a small town in northern Louisiana."

Freya stood before me and started laughing at that. I wanted to be pissed that she was laughing at me, but I knew that getting pissed at a goddess was not a good idea. "My dear, you are so much more than that. You were hand picked by us to fulfill you destiny with our Viking. But we don't have time to discuss everything now. Forseti, come here please." I watched as a man walked up to me. "Sookie, this is Forseti, the God of justice, peace and truth. He wants to give you another infusion of his blood. It will help bring forth some new powers that you will need tonight."

"I don't understand." My head was spinning with all of this information that I was getting and everything was making me so confused.

"You are holding a trial of sorts this evening, right?"

"Sort of. We are planning on making examples of those Weres that came after me and my baby. We want the Supe community that will not be tolerated in our kingdoms."

Freya smiled at my words. "And that is exactly what you should do. If you both don't show your power and make examples of them, other Supes will continue to come after you. I'm not saying that nobody will never come after you again, but this will alleviate most of the burden while you bare you children so they can just be children."

That sounded wonderful, but something she said confused me, "Wait, you said both our power. Do you mean his power as a vampire or his power from becoming king?"

"Neither. There is more to your Viking than you realize. He's discovered something recently and he will tell you when the time is right, but you need to trust him and trust in your powers. If you do that, when all of your powers are developed you both with be practically unstoppable." I watched as she conjured a knife and chalice and she sliced Forseti's wrist.

So many thoughts were running through my head. I was going to have thirteen children in five years, all of whom were going to be blessed by Norse Gods and Goddesses. Was I really going to be able to do this? Would Eric and I be able to handle that many magical children? What happens when I grow old and die? Is Eric going to have to watch our children grow old and die too?

"Sookie." I looked up at her as she continued. "Yes, yes with the help that will come to you, you won't so that's not an issue and no because they are all going to be immortal as well."

I went over her answers in my head until I go to the one about me growing old and dying. She said I wouldn't. How could that be? "Am I going to become a vampire?"

She laughed at me again. I was really getting annoyed at her for doing that to me. "Sookie, you won't need to become a vampire. You are already immortal. All of our blood has made that possible."

I watched as Forseti's wound closed and Freya handed me the chalice. "Bottoms up." I was hesitant to drink blood that didn't come from Eric and Freya could sense that. "Sookie, you have already had Forseti's blood before, you just need a bit more. I promise that your Viking will not mind. This will help you see the truth from now on. You will be able to see who you can trust and who will betray you."

That would definitely be a helpful skill to have, so I tilted my head back and drained the chalice. It was more bitter than Eric's sweet and delicious blood, but as soon as it hit my tongue I could feel power flowing through me. It was a major rush.

As I handed the chalice back to Freya I started to feel myself being pulled away. "Sookie, it is time for you to wake up now."

"But I still have so many questions for all of you."

"You'll be back again. Now, go to your Viking."

Everything went dark and I could feel someone gently shaking me to wake me up. "Lover, it's after nine o'clock. You wanted me to wake you so that you could eat and shower before we leave tonight."

I opened my eyes and looked up at the most beautiful sight. My handsome Viking was sitting next to me with one hand stroking my hair and the other gently rubbing my baby bump. "My Viking."

He smiled down at me with his fangs extended. "Did you sleep well Lover?"

"Well, I guess that depends on how you look at it."

"I don't understand what you mean Lover."

"I'll tell you later. There's a lot that I need to tell you and I don't want to be rushed." I sat up and stretched giving my Viking an eyeful of my ever growing breasts. "Is Hunter all right? Has he had his dinner yet?"

"He had been fed and well cared for while you were sleeping Lover. He is in his room coloring and in his pajamas ready for bed."

"Oh Eric, who is going to watch him? We can't take him with us and we both have to go. What are…"

He put his fingers up to my lips to stop me. "Lover, I've got it taken care of already. I called my housekeeper Lulu to come over and watch him while we are gone."

I don't know exactly what happened to me in the moment, but I was willing to blame my ever fluctuating hormones on my jealous outburst. "Is she one of your fang banging whores?" I wrenched myself away from his touch and out of the bed. I stood before him with my hands on my hips not caring that I was completely naked. "I will not having some stranger who you have most likely fucked taking care of Hunter." I knew that I was being irrational, I just couldn't seem to stop myself.

"Lover, she is a sixty-five year old woman with four adult children and ten grandchildren. She's a were-bear with a fierce protectiveness. I think that she is more than capable of taking care of Hunter for the night. She's been working for me for over twenty years and I trust her completely. She's downstairs right now and Hunter seemed to like her before he went to his room. I would never bring anyone like that near our children or into our home and I resent the fact that you think I would." His voice had slowly started to grow more angry and I couldn't stop the tears from streaming heavily down my cheeks.

"Eric, I'm so sorry. I don't know what is the matter with me. There is so much on our plates right now and it's very over whelming."

Eric stood up and pulled me into his arms. "Lover, I know this is a lot to take in all at once, but as long as we're together we can handle anything. We can hire people to help us and I'll always be there for you."

I wrapped my arms around his neck and clung tightly to him. "I know you will Baby and I love you for that. You are too good to me even when I act like a crazy woman."

"I will always take care of you." He lifted me into his arms and carried me into the bathroom. He set my down and started running a bubble bath. As the tub was filling his pulled me back into his arms and whispered sweet nothings in my ear and told me how much he loved me. My little outburst was now past and I was feeling embarrassed and ashamed. I could feel from Eric comfort and love and it made me feel better.

He set me down gently into the tub when it was filled, kissed me on the lips, then started to leave. I grabbed his hand to stop him. "Where are you going?"

"I was going downstairs to get you some dinner. Lulu brought over the ingredients to make cornbread and gumbo. It should be done by now."

I couldn't stop my stomach from growling at the thought of the gumbo, but I didn't want him to go. I was feeling clingy and needy and I needed to feel his strength before we went into this blood bath tonight. "Can't it wait until after I finish my bath. I really need you close to me right now." I looked up at him with sad eyes and pouted out my lip.

I could actual see as he relented. "Of course Lover." He quickly undressed and slid in behind me. He slid his arms around me and pulled me close. This was exactly what I needed right now.

I felt him nuzzle my neck and he tensed against me. "Sookie, why do I smell another's blood in you."

This was definitely going to be difficult to explain. "That is an excellent question and I really want to tell you, but we don't have time now. I promise I will tell you soon." I turned toward him and wrapped my arms around his neck. "I want you to know that the blood I was given was to help me out with tonight."

He looked at me and I could feel his disbelief through the bond. I wanted to explain, but he pulled away from me and got out of the tub. As he wrapped a towel around his waist I couldn't stop more tears from spilling down my cheeks. I felt hurt that he didn't believe me and that he was leaving me. I knew that I was being ridiculous again, but I couldn't help it.

He looked down at my tear stained face and he knelt down next to the tub and took my face in his hands. "Lover, please don't cry. I just can't understand how you could have another's blood in you when you haven't left the house."

He wiped away my tears and a part of me wanted to slap his hands away, but another part needed to tell his touch to be ready for tonight. "Earlier while I was asleep I was taken to a beach somewhere and was given the blood of Forseti." I could feel that he knew that without my explanation. I took his hand in mine. "You know who that is, don't you?"

"He is the Norse God of justice, peace and truth. I just don't understand how that is possible."

"Eric, I was with fourteen Gods and Goddesses on the beach and I've had the blood of thirteen of them. I was hand picked by them to fulfill a destiny, a destiny with you. They didn't give me all of the details, but I was given an extra dose of Forseti's blood to help us tonight." I let him absorb that information. "I'll be able to see who would mean to do us harm and who with help us. I will also be able to tell if someone is lying without having to dig around in there head." As I finished speaking my stomach took that moment to growl very loudly.

"I believe you Lover. I know that we have lots more to talk about, but not now. You finish up your bath and I'll bring up your dinner. After we will get ready to go."

"Okay Sweetie."

He leaned in and kissed me. "I love you Sookie."

"I love you too Baby."

I watched him leave and I really wanted to get out and follow him. My emotions had calmed, but now my libido was raging, but there would be time for that later. I quickly finished my bath, got out, dried off and slipped on my bathrobe. As I tied it I realized that my bump was even bigger than even earlier today. I didn't know whether I should be freaked out that I was getting too fat or happy that my babies were growing healthy and big and strong inside of me.

I didn't really have time to contemplate that because there were two very hard kicks to my stomach that distracted me. They were followed by an overwhelming urge for blood. I was going to conjure a bottle of Royalty Blend when I realized that wasn't what my boys wanted, they wanted real human blood. Without really thinking about what I was doing I conjured a very large glass of 98.6 degree AB negative blood.

I put the glass to my lips and it was the most amazing thing that I had ever tasted next to Eric's blood. It took less than a minute for me to drain the glass and I still stuck my tongue in it to make sure that I lapped up every single drop.

Eric walked in carrying a tray as I was doing this and he stopped short and watched me. "Lover, is that real human blood that you just drank?"

"Yeah. It's what your sons wanted."

I could feel his pride swelling as I said that. "My sons have excellent taste already. That was AB negative if I'm not mistaken."

"Yes and now they are feeling very happy." I stopped when I caught the smell of the food that Eric was holding. "Now it's time to make Mommy happy with human food." I took the tray from Eric and went over to sit on the bed. He had brought my milk, two big bowls of gumbo, a half a dozen pieces of cornbread, and a large bowl of strawberry shortcake with homemade biscuits and lots of fresh whipped cream.

I sat there and devoured the food as fast as I could. I didn't realize just how hungry I was and I started to feel a little self-conscious when I realized that Eric was watching me. "I know I look disgusting eating this way, but I can't help it."

"You are eating so that our sons will grow big and strong Sookie. It's all right."

"Yes, but I also have to fit into a wedding dress in a few days."

He came over and knelt down in front of me. "You still want to marry me even though you don't have an engagement ring?"

I drank the last of my milk with the last bite of my dessert, then I focused on my Viking. "Baby, I don't need an engagement ring, all I need is you." I leaned in and kissed him and I really wish that I hadn't. My libido was now in overdrive and I wanted to throw him down on the bed and ride him like a stallion.

Eric pulled away from my kiss with a smile on his face. "Lover, has tempting as that is, we have business to attend to this evening."

"I know, but maybe we could do that later."

"I think that we could arrange that."

I really wanted him right now, but I forced my libido to back down for now anyway. "We should probably get dressed now." I went to stand up, but he gently pushed me back down. I looked at him and he had a look in his eye that told me he was up to something.

"Lover, I know that we haven't been together long and I know that everything is happening so quickly." He rest his hand on my noticeable baby bump. "No matter what, I want you to know that I love you and I want to be with you more than anything else in the world." I watched him reach into his pocket and pull out a little velvet box. There came more tears that I couldn't control. He held the box in his hand and opened it, but I really couldn't see it through all of my tears. "Sookie Stackhouse, will you make me the happiest man on Earth and marry me?"

"Of course I will marry you." I wiped my eyes so that I could look at my engagement ring. It was absolutely exquisite. It was at least a four karat emerald cut diamond in a platinum setting and all around the band were rubies. Somehow I could tell without counting them I knew there fourteen of them. I wondered if that was a coincidence. I didn't think it was, but I would think about that later.

He took the ring out of the box and slipped it on my finger and I couldn't stop myself from leaning in and kissing him. "I love you so much Eric Northman and I love my ring, but we really should get dressed now before we start something that will make us late."

I watched him smile, stand up and zipped into the closet. He came out less than a minute later in black jeans, a black tank top and black boots. He stood against the closet door with his ankles crossed. "I'm done Lover, you'd better hurry before I start something that will make it worse for you."

Bastard! Him and that damn vampire speed and that smile and that voice getting me all turned on with no time to play. I would get him back, but I had a trick up my sleeve and I could tease him right back.

I stood up, untied my bathrobe and slid it off letting it fall to the floor. I stood there for a moment completely naked and feeling completely self conscious again until I heard his fangs come out and I felt his arousal through our bond.

I smiled at his reaction, then snapped my fingers and I was fully dressed to kill. I had on black steel toed boots, black leather pants, a black tank top and my hair was braided perfectly down my back. Everything felt like it was made to fit me like it was a second skin, but I was still able to move around in them.

I put my hands on my hips and smiled right back at him. "Top that Viking."

He came over to me and slid his arms around me and pulled me against him as much as he could. "It doesn't matter how fast the clothes go on you Lover." He leaned down and whispered in my ear. "It's how fast I can get them off that's most important."

The sound of his voice and the feel of his cold breath on my neck made me want to melt into a puddle at his feet and fuck his brains out all at the same time. "You are being very naughty Mr. Northman. I might just have to punish you for that later tonight." I couldn't stop myself from saying that and the best part was that I meant it. I had plans for him after our business was complete tonight.

He pulled me even closer and I felt and heard him growl deep in his chest. I had to get away from him soon. "Is that a promise Miss Stackhouse, or are you still teasing me?"

"Oh this is definitely a promise." I forced myself to pull away from him. "I will see you downstairs." I popped out before he could grab me and went down into the kitchen. I saw an older woman who reminded me of my Gran who I assumed was Lulu, but I was more focused on Pam. "Pam!" I couldn't stop myself from throwing my arms around her and hugging her as tightly as I could around my belly. "I feel like it has been forever since I saw you, but it's only been a few days. How are you?"

"I am fine, but I hear that you and my Master have been very busy these past few days." She held me at arms length and looked down at my baby bump in awe. "So it's true?" She put her hand on it and there were two little kicks. I watched her eyes grow wide in astonishment. "What the fuck was that?"

"That was the babies. They were saying hello to there Auntie Pam."

"But it's only been a few days. How is this possible?"

"I know. It's magic Pam. Apparently Eric and I were suppose to be together much sooner than this, so the boys are growing rapidly to compensate for that. It scared the shit out of me when I went to sleep with a flat stomach and woke up with a bump."

"I can only image. Does all this scare you?"

"Not anymore. I know that I should be freaking out about everything, but I have a lot of very powerful people watching out for me and Eric and our babies." I didn't want to explain everything to her just yet, since I hadn't explained it all to Eric yet, so I changed the subject. "So are the vamps excited about the execution tonight?"

A smile spread across her face and it was kind of creepy. "Sookie, you know that we love any type of bloodshed. The real question is are you excited about it?"

"I wouldn't say excited, but glad to take care of those bastards. Nobody is going to fuck with me and my family without paying the consequences."

"Well, I see that you maternal instincts are kicking in already."

"Yeah, nobody is going to hurt me and my kids." I could feel my power building up inside of me, so I took a deep breath to pull it back in until later anyway. I needed to change the topic yet. "Have you met Hunter yet?"

"No, I don't really know how to act around teacup humans."

I giggled at that term. "Come on Pam, it will be fine." I took her hand and practically dragged her upstairs. I stopped outside Hunter's room and I could tell that he was awake and still coloring. I knocked before opening the door. "Hey Hunter, I brought somebody up here for you to meet."

I barely had the words out when he was off of his bed and running over to Pam and wrapping his little arms around her legs. "Auntie Pam, you're here! I've been waiting so long to see you. You and I have to spend a lot of time together so that you can help me fulfill my destiny."

Holy Shit! I didn't know quite what Hunter met by that, but I knew that he was right. I didn't think that I could handle any more surprises tonight. I wanted to ask him what he meant when Eric walked into the room. "Ladies, we need to get going and my little man her needs to go to sleep,"

Hunter pulled away from Pam and ran over to Eric and Eric lifted him up into his arms. "Goodnight little man."

"Goodnight Uncle Eric." Eric brought him over to me. His slid his little arms around my neck and kissed my cheek. "Goodnight Aunt Sookie."

"Goodnight Sweetie."

Eric went to put him in bed, but Hunter reached out as he walked close to Pam. She stepped closer to him and he put his arms around her neck. "Good night Auntie Pam, I love you." He kissed her on the cheek and we all stood there stunned. Pam was the last person who would be involved with children in any way.

After a minute of nothing, Hunter wiggled his way out of Eric's arms and curled up in his bed. I managed to pull myself out of my stupor and drag the two stunned vampires downstairs.

Eric started loading the car with swords and silver chains in case there was trouble tonight and I went into the kitchen. Lulu was putting away the gumbo and I realized that I was rude to her before by not saying anything to her. I decided to fix that. "You must be Lulu. I am so sorry for being so incredibly rude before when I didn't even say hello. I'm Sookie Stackhouse soon to be Northman."

"It's a pleasure to meet you Miss. I'm Louisa Carmine, but everybody calls me Lulu."

"I wanted to tell you how delicious dinner was tonight and how grateful I am that you are kind enough to stay here with Hunter tonight."

"It's no trouble Miss. He is a sweet boy and I've arranged to spend the night here because Mr. Northman didn't know how late you were going to be."

"That's not going to be a problem for you is it? I don't want you to be inconvenienced or anything."

"No Dear. You are so sweet. It's no problem at all."

I could see that she was just what Eric said. She was completely trustworthy and I could see that she would be around a lot more in the future. "Thank you. I hope we won't be too late, but you never know. Maybe tomorrow we can talk."

"Of course Miss. Everything will be fine here, you better get."

"Thank you Lulu." I noticed Pam was standing in the doorway, so I pulled her with me out to the garage. I led her over to the SUV that Eric had just finished packing up when I noticed that she wasn't saying anything and seemed kind of weird in general. "Pammy, are you okay?"

She looked up at me and I could see her eyes were rimmed with bloody tears that were about to fall. "Sookie I…"

She didn't finish her sentence, but I could tell that she needed to talk. "Eric?"

"Yes Lover?"

"We will meet you there, okay?"

"Is everything all right?"

"Pam just needs to talk to me. I'm going to pop us to the warehouse so we can talk, so take your time." It was just after eleven so there was time.

"Ok, but you girls be careful."

"We will Sweetie. I love you."

"I love you too Lover."

"Hold onto me tight Pam." She put her arms around me and I focused on the warehouse and I let my magic wash over both of us. In less than a minute we were in the warehouse. The Weres were still frozen in the corner and the rest of the room was empty. I conjured two chairs for us to sit on so we could talk and also because my back was starting to hurt.

We both sat down and I took Pam's hand in mine and without even asking my mind was flooded with what had happened to make Pam completely stunned, Hunter had given her a vision of the future. I didn't even know that he could do that, but apparently he could.

Hunter had shown Pam flashes of the future. It showed him and the boys that I was carrying now playing outside, but it was more than that. Hunter was watching over them. I don't know how, but I could tell that Pam was the one who had taught him the subtle details that I could see as he was watching the boys. He would keep looking around and he was listening for any slight difference in the air around them. I don't know why it wouldn't be Eric teaching him to do that, but I would think about that later.

I watched the flashes, but I never saw him with more than seven of the children Eric and I were destined to have. There were the boys that I was carrying now, the twin girls I was going to carry next and three more boys that I knew were triplets, but there were six children that he wasn't shown anything about. Maybe he wasn't meant to know about them yet.

I saw my new boys that I hadn't seen before and they were about three in this vision. They were absolutely beautiful and all three of them were the spitting image of Eric. They had his clear blue eyes and his long blonde hair. They were so perfect and I could feel the tears streaming down my face as I got pulled back to the present. I looked up at Pam and saw bloody tears streaming down her face. "They look just like him. That's why you're crying, isn't it?"

"Partly. They are so beautiful Sookie. You and my Master make beautiful babies."

I conjured a box of tissues so that we could wipe up our tears. "Yes we do, but can I tell you a secret Pammy?" She nodded her head and leaned in closer while she wiped her eyes. "That's not all of them."

She stopped wiping her face and looked at me completely shocked at that bit of information. "I saw seven children. How many more are you going to have?"

"Six more, two more sets of triplets, one all girls and one two boys and one girl."

"Sookie, are you nuts? I hope they're going to be spread out a bit."

"Actually, I will have all of my babies within the next five years."

"Oh my God Sookie! You are going to be exhausted. How are you going to handle all of these kids, being queen and being a wife to Eric? I know that Eric will want a lot of you attention no matter what."

"I have those same worries Pam, but I know that everything will work out how it's suppose to. I'll have the help that I need and I've come to discover that I am less human than I thought."

"What are you?"

"I'm not completely sure yet. I need to talk to some people who are pretty powerful first." I felt Eric pulling up to the warehouse followed by a caravan of other Supes. "We have company."

"Wait Sookie, that wasn't the whole reason that I was crying." She took my hand again and her mind was wide open to me. I saw memories of when she was still human. She had met a young man who she had fallen madly in loved with named Thomas. They were planning on running away to keep Pam from having to marry a man that her father had picked for her to marry. His name had been Oliver and he was more that twice Pam's age. He was dull and boring, but he was wealthy and prestigious, that's why he had been chosen, but Pam was completely repulsed.

The night before Pam and Thomas were suppose to run away together, Pam found out that Thomas had been murdered. She was beside herself and absolutely heartbroken over this news. She stayed in bed for over a month lost in her grief. She would hardly eat or sleep, but her family continued to plan her wedding to Oliver.

It was during this time that she discovered that she was pregnant. It wasn't what she expected, but it was a part of her and Thomas' love, so she would love this child more than anything.

She kept putting off the wedding as long as she could until one day her father noticed that she had put on some weight in her middle. He knew right away that she was pregnant and he was furious. He told her that she had shamed their entire family. He told her to get out and that she was no daughter of his anymore.

She felt hurt by her father's words. She went running down the stairs to leave the house and she tripped and fell. She lost the baby and was confined to bed for two weeks. Pam was lost in her grief until she over heard her father tell her mother that it was a blessing to get rid of that nuisance. She became furious at her father's words and she wasn't going to stand for this anymore. When she was well she snuck out into the night with only the clothes on her back and that's when she meet Eric.

I pulled out of her mind and I realized that Hunter was the baby that she was suppose to have way back then. We both had more tears streaming down both of our faces. All this had happened in only a minute, so we had to quickly get cleaned up again before the others came in. "Oh Pam, I am so sorry."

She wiped her eyes and put on her vampire face. "It was a long time ago, but I want you to know that I will do anything for Hunter."

I pulled her into a quick hug before people started walking in. "I know that you will." I pulled away from her and waved my hands so the chairs and tissues disappeared, then I turned to the still frozen Weres. I didn't want everyone to know the full extent of my power, so I focused on them being chained in silver and gagged. I waved my hand and said, "Go Now."

The Weres started to struggle in their confines, but the chains were wrapped all the way down their legs, so they all fell into a pile on top of one another. I turned towards the door and watched Eric come in and I couldn't stop myself from running/waddling over to him. I threw my arms around his waist and snuggled close to him. Being close to him made me feel grounded and ready for this. "Hi Sweetie."

"Are you all right Lover? Your emotions have been all over since I left the house."

"Pam and I have been talking. It's nothing. Um, should we have a platform of some kind so that everyone will be able to see us better?"

He looked around, then back down at me. "That is a wonderful idea Lover. Can you do that?"

"No problem." I concentrated on a raised platform big enough for the three of us to stand on and to display the Weres, I waved my hand and there it was, exactly how I wanted it. I moved the Weres up onto the platform and called Eric's weapons in from the car in case there was trouble, but kept them where they couldn't be seen.

"Nice word Lover." He took my hand and with Pam close behind we went up and stood tall and proud on the platform.

We watched as vampires, Weres of all different types, shifters and my Fae relatives came in to witness this. There were some familiar faces, but most were strangers to me. I could see like someone shining a light on them the people that would help us. There were very few of them, but I knew that those few would be very helpful indeed. I took not of them, then focused on the ones that were surrounded in a black fog. I took notice of them as well.

There were others that had nothing surrounding them and some that had a gray mist around them. I realized that those were the ones that could go either way. I would keep an eye on them.

I watched as Eric stepped forward to get things started. Pam stood back to his left and I stood to his right with my hands resting on my baby bump. The boys were doing a jig inside of me. They were feeling Eric's growing bloodlust and they wanted to fight too. I sent calm to them and Eric, then I turned all my attention to Eric.

"Attention everyone." He waited a moment for everyone to settle down. When they did they turned and focused on Eric wondering what was happening here. "Not all of you have been made aware of the change in the vampire hierarchy. Queen Sophie-Anne had been found unfit to rule and with the death of Russell Edgington I have been offered the position of king of both states and I have accepted. I will rule with my bonded and soon to be wife Sookie Stackhouse." There were whispers and scowls all throughout the room as Eric took my hand and brought me closer to him.

He was waiting for them to settle down again, but they were too irate at the thought of a human vampire queen. It was time to show them that I wasn't entirely human. I raised my hands and let my power flow through me and out into the crowd. "SILENCE!" The room was instantly silent, you could have heard a pin drop. I looked up at Eric and he smiled down at me. "Continue Sweetie."

"Thank you Lover." He turned back to the crowd with his badass face on. "Now when Sookie and I are officially crowned King and Queen, we want to be sure that what happened today does not happen again." He motioned to Pam and she dragged the chained Weres front and center. "These four Weres broke into my home earlier today when my bonded and you queen was alone. If not for her new acquired magic she and my sons would have been abducted and possibly tortured and killed." When he said my sons I had watched as every eye went wide and you could feel the shock rolling off the crowd. "It doesn't matter at this point who sent these Weres, they will be dealt with when the time is right. All that matters now is that this will not be tolerated in my kingdom. I am prepared to be a fair king, but any threat to my retinue or my family will be met with swift justice." Sookie, I need you to conjure two swords.

Are you sure that's a good idea?

You need to show how much power you really have so they will respect you as their queen.

All right. Eric sent me a mental picture of the swords he wanted me to conjure. I focused on them until they appeared in my hands. One was much heavier than the other, so Eric took that one straight away. I had know idea how to wield a sword, but as I wrapped my hand around the handle it felt very natural and it was like the sword was instructing me through touch. It was strange, but hopefully effective.

Eric stepped to one side of the Weres and motioned for me to stand on the other side. He projected to me to slice through the neck hard and fast to get a clean cut. I only had to deal with one and he would take care of the other three. I nodded slightly to let him know I understood.

He nodded his head for me to go and in the time it took for me to bring my blade down and decapitate one Were, he had dispatched the other three. We were both quickly covered in blood and I could feel Eric's bloodlust growing stronger by the minute and building my own. I had to fight the urge to throw him down and fuck him right here in front of everyone. I knew that he could feel it and was fighting it back just as much as I was.

He turned away from me as he reigned himself in and focused on the still silent crowd. "This is the penalty for coming after me and mine." He picked up one discarded head and tossed it into the crowd. "If any of you plan on trying to come after anyone that I care about, you should rethink it very quickly. Next time the punishment won't be as swift." I watched the gray mist on some disappear, but the black fog around others just seemed to get even darker. People were apparently still going to come after us, but at least the ones on the line had now decided to change their minds.

Eric turned to Pam. "Clean this mess up. I'll need you at the house at first dark tomorrow night." He came over to me and swept me up into his arms bridal style. "We have something very important to plan for Saturday night."

Before Pam could ask what he was talking about Eric had me outside and at the car. He opened up the back and laid me down. I could see where this was going and I wanted it to go there, but I wanted it somewhere else. "Eric, stop." He looked like I had just threatened to stake him instead of telling him to stop. "Baby, not here. Take me to Fangtasia." I projected what I wanted and within seconds we were in the front seat and on our way.

It took less than ten minutes with Eric driving for us to get to Fangtasia. I was glad because I didn't know how much longer either one of us could wait to start fucking.

The car had barely stopped when Eric had me in his arms and heading for the basement. He tore my clothes of as he raced downstairs. I'd been thinking about this ever since I saw Eric down here with Yvetta and even more so lately with my over active libido.

He set me down for less than a second while he shredded his own clothes, then lifted me up in his arms. He reached up and locked my wrists in the manacles hanging from the ceiling. I expected it to feel awkward, but I really did like it. It made me feel uninhibited and more aroused than I had ever felt in my life.

Eric lifted my legs up and the locked around him as he thrust hard and deep inside of me. He was so deep with me in this position that I came instantly. I clamped down around him and cried out with my pleasure. I didn't care if anybody could hear me. I was getting fucked like I'd needed for hours and it felt so good.

Even though I had just come, Eric was no where near done with me and kept pounding into me at vampire speed. He was so deep and hitting me just right that I kept coming almost constantly. I wanted to touch him and I knew that if I really wanted to I could free my hand, but I didn't want to ruin this. More than touching him though, I wanted to taste him. I felt my new fangs slid out seconds before his slid out.

He knew what I wanted, so as he kept pounding me he exposed his neck to me and I sunk my fangs into his neck as he sunk his into my breast. We drank deeply from each other and within seconds we were both coming harder than ever before.

I could immediately feel exhaustion wash over me and Eric could feel it to. He quickly, but gently uncuffed my wrists and held me tightly in his arms. I clung to his as I whispered in his ear, "Take me home."

"Of course Lover." I waved my hand so that we were both clean and dressed and I was asleep before Eric even had me in the car.
