A/N I have no excuses on what has taken me so long, so i am just going to shut up and let you enjoy. Let me know what you think!

I awoke feeling well rested, but I was already missing my Viking since I could feel that he was all the way in the house. That was too far away for my liking. "Eric."

He was by my side in a flash. "What is it Lover? Are you and the boys all right?"

"We're fine, I just don't like waking up without you beside me."

He slid onto the bed beside me and pulled me into his arms. "I'm sorry my love, but we do have a wedding tomorrow and there are still many things that need to be done."

I snuggled up against his chest and smiled as I started thinking about our wedding. "I'm so excited. I can't wait to be your wife."

"And I can't wait to be your husband." He settled his hand on my belly and I could feel waves of love and content me coming through our bond from three separate ways. It was very comforting to me. "Are you hungry my angel?"

I ran a hand over his bare chest and up to his neck as a new craving came through me. I had never felt this before and it was quickly becoming overwhelming. "Eric, I want to drink your blood. I need to drink your blood." I couldn't stop my fangs from coming out and without thinking I latched onto his chest about his nipple and started sucking greedily.

I felt him tense as I was drinking his blood. I tried to pull away from him, but I just couldn't get myself to do it. I begged him in my mind to forgive me and that I couldn't control what I was doing, but he quickly relaxed and sent calm and love through our bond while he stroked my hair.

After a few minutes I had finally had my fill and I was able to pull away from him, but I wasn't able to stop the tears from streaming down my cheeks. "Baby I am so sorry. I don't know what got into me. I would never do anything to hurt you. I…" He covered my mouth with his hand to quiet me.

"Lover, I am not angry with you. You're body is going through a lot of changes very quickly. I'm not worried about you taking my blood. If it's something that you need to keep you and our sons healthy I would let you drink every drop." I didn't want to think about that, so I just clung to him as I tried to calm down.

When I was finally calm I realized that I was hungry for food now. I pulled away from Eric and smiled up at him so that he knew that I was all right now, then I conjured myself breakfast. I had a plate full of food on the tray that I had also conjured: I had biscuits and gravy, bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, a plate of watermelon chunks, a bowl of oatmeal, a glass of orange juice and a glass of milk.

As I was digging in Eric excused himself saying that he had some phone calls to make. I was engrossed in my breakfast, so I didn't mind and the sun was shining and it was beautiful out.

As I was eating I started making a mental list of all the things that I needed to do today:

1.) I needed to talk to Jason. I had a feeling that he was not going to be receptive to the sudden changes that were happening to me and our family, but he was just going to have to deal with it.

2.) I needed to talk to Niall. He had two granddaughters the he needed to meet. I was still trying to wrap my head around the fact that I had more family, but I would think more on that later.

3.) I needed to conjure my wedding dress. I'd had an idea for a dress, but I had something else in mind now that I thought would be more sentimental and I knew that Eric would love it.

4.) I needed to find out what we were going to do with the tiger. There was a person under that tiger exterior, but he was still a spy. I would need to go deep into his mind to extract everything that was there before we decided what to do with him.

5.) I would really like to see our new home in person. I could feel my nesting instincts starting to kick in and we would need to set up the nursery sooner rather than later.

I knew that I wouldn't be able to do all that stuff today, there was even more that I hadn't even thought of that I would need to do for the wedding, but at least that was a start.

Just as I was finishing my breakfast I heard a car pulling up in front of the house. I opened my mind to see who it was. "Oh Shit!" I'd forgotten all about my new witch friends with everything that had happened last night.

I jumped off the bed, conjured it and my breakfast dishes away and snapped myself presentable with my hair braided down my back and a yellow sundress with white flowers on it and a pair of sandals. When I was ready I waddled my way towards the house. "Eric, Honey, we have company." I headed to the front of the house and made it around just as they were heading onto the porch. "Hey you two. I thought that you two were coming over last night."

"We knew that you had your hands full, so we decided to wait until this morning. You handled that situation very well Your Majesty."

"Octavia, please call me Sookie when we are in private like this."

"All right Sookie."

I looked over at Amelia and she was standing there with her mouth hanging open staring at my Viking. I could see her imagination running wild and I had the overwhelming urge to put a stop to that.

I went over and stood in front of her. "Hey, I understand that he is a walking, talking sex god, but he is my walking, talking, sex god, so if you could tone down on the fantasies I would really appreciate it."

Amelia looked properly shunned. "I'm sorry."

"It's all right, just don't let it happen again." She nodded and I smiled at her. "Would you like to come in for breakfast or coffee or anything?"

"Coffee would be great, thank you Sookie."

I took Amelia's hand and headed inside when I saw that Octavia wasn't following. I could sense that there was something troubling her, so I conjured a pot of coffee in the kitchen and sent Amelia inside with Eric.

When they were inside I went over and took Octavia's hand. "What's the matter Octavia?"

"There is someone who is coming after you. I don't know who it is, but something is going to happen. Whatever it is you can't stop it from happening. You need to stay strong until help can get to you and not believe what is happening around you."

"You are the second one to give me a message like that. Do you know what is going to happen? When is it going to happen? Eric and I are about to get married and we have another monarch with a grudge that is going to come after us. Is that whatever is going to happen part of the attack? Is there someone else out there plotting against us? Is there nothing I can do to stop this?" My breathing was starting to become erratic and I was feeling very dizzy.

"Sookie you need to calm down before something happens to you."

My whole world was spinning with all of this information and there was only one person that could calm me now. "Eric! ERIC!"

He was by my side in seconds pulling me into his arms. "Lover, what is it?"

I was breathing too heavily to answer, so Octavia answered for me. "Something is going to happen to both of you some time soon. I don't know when, but it's too much for Sookie to handle. She needs to calm down or she might go into premature labor."

Before I could panic even more about what Octavia said, I was whisked upstairs at vamp speed into my old bedroom. He got us both situated on the bed and held me close and gently stroked my hair. "Lover, you need to calm down for the well fare of our sons as well as yourself."

"Eric, something is going to happen and there is nothing that I can do about it."

"Sookie, whatever is coming our way we will handle it together. We are a team and we'll do what we have to do to keep our family safe."

I cuddled up closer to him as I let his words sink in and tried to calm myself down. "Eric, I know that whatever is going to happen is going to happen to both of us. I don't want anything to happen to you. I wouldn't want to go on if anything ever happened to you." I could feel humor coming from him at what I'd said and that was not helping my disposition. "What could you possibly find funny at this moment?"

"Lover, I have discovered that you are not the only one who has become more powerful."

"What are you talking about?" Hearing Eric's voice was calming me down, but I wasn't really getting what he was trying to tell me.

"I discovered recently that the woman who I thought was my mother, really wasn't. My real mother is Freya, one of the Norse Goddesses."

"Oh my God!" My mouth was hanging open, not really believing what he'd just told me."

"I'm a vampire and a demigod. I've discovered that I have some new powers of my own."

I was finally calm now and was starting to get excited about what Eric was telling me. "Honey that's fantastic. What kind of powers do you have?"

"Well, I haven't tested them out yet, but I should have the power to throw lightning bolts from my hands, I'll have moderate power over the elements and I now have gained true immortality. Nothing, silver, stakes, decapitation, none of that will hurt me anymore."

I was completely relieved. "Oh Baby, I am so glad, but I'm still worried about whatever is going to happen to us."

He pulled me closer to him and tilted my face up so that he could look into my eyes. "Whatever comes our way we will handle it together."

"Okay." He held me for a few more minutes before we headed back downstairs.

Octavia and Amelia were talking quietly at the table while drinking their coffee. I felt like I was being a terrible hostess, but Octavia interrupted my thoughts. "Sookie, you have no need to apologize for being overwhelmed. Things are happening so fast for both of you, but as long as you two are together you can make it through anything."

"Thank you Octavia. That's just what I needed to hear."

"Now that you are calm, you and Amelia are going to your home and check on your family and do what you need to do for the wedding tomorrow and I'm going to stay here and help your Viking with a few things."

I could see that she knew about Eric's new powers and could help him, so who was I to argue. I really didn't want to leave him after everything already this morning, but I did need to check on everyone and I had some errands to run. I needed to find a wedding ring for Eric, a needed to make a final decision about my wedding dress and there were other things that I knew that I would have to pick up. "Okay, I do have some errands I have to run. Is that all right with you Amelia?"

"Yeah, I love to shop and I can't wait to meet the little ones."

"You don't mind popping do you Amelia? It's a lot faster than driving." She was jumping up and down and squealing in her head and out loud at the same time over her excitement at getting to pop with me. "Amelia, now you need to calm down." I went over to grab her hand so we could be on our way, but Eric pulled me off to the side before I could. "What is it Honey?"

"Are you sure that you are all right to go out with Amelia today? I don't want you to panic again and have me be too far away to get to you before something happens."

"Baby, I promise that I am fine now. If I need you I'll pop right back to you." I paused as a thought came to the front of my mind. I pulled him closer so that I could whisper into his ear. "Well as long as I don't pop to you like I did the first time."

I heard him growl deep in his chest and I couldn't help the smile that spread across my face. "Lover, if you don't stop teasing me I will have to punish you."

His voice had dropped low and sexy and I could feel my arousal pooling in my panties. I wanted to fuck him so badly right now, but I managed to reign myself in since we both had a lot of work to do. "Well Honey, we do need to save something for the honeymoon." I gave him one very tonguey kiss before quickly grabbing Amelia and popping away.

I popped us into the backyard so that we wouldn't scare the crap out of anyone, but I was the one that got scared at what I was seeing. "Oh my God! Hunter!" I could feel my magic building inside of me watching that fucking tiger on top of my son.

I was about to let my powers loose when I felt Amelia's hand on my arm and I heard Hunter laughing. "Sookie, they are playing."

I pulled my magic back into me as Hunter got out from under the tiger and ran towards us. He threw his little arms around both of us as best he could, but he was more focused on Amelia. "Auntie Melia, I'm so glad that you are here." I looked over at Amelia and she just smiled at me. "Where's Auntie Tavia?"

Apparently I wasn't the only one happy about having our new friends in our lives. "She's spending the day helping Uncle Eric." I looked down at him and brushed away the grass that was in his hair. "Now, what are you doing out here in the first place with the tiger?"

"We were just playing."

"Well, I don't want you to play with him anymore. He's not a pet Hunter and we can't keep him."

"Why not? Please can't we keep him Aunt Sookie?"

"Sweetie, he's a were-tiger. His name is John Quinn and he was sent here to spy on us. Uncle Eric and I need to ask him some questions and then we need to send him back to his home and family." I could see and feel the sadness coming off of Hunter and I didn't like it. "Don't be said Sweetie. How about I talk with Eric and maybe we can fill up our new home with as many pets as you like. How does that sound?"

"Awesome!" He threw his arms around me as best he could and said something that I will never forget. "I love you Mommy."

I couldn't stop the tears of joy from running down my cheeks. "Baby, did you really just call my your Mommy?"

I watched his oops face appear and I smiled through my tears. "I wasn't suppose to tell you until tomorrow. Daddy thought that it would be a good surprise for your wedding."

"Oh Hunter, are you sure that you're ready to call us Mommy and Daddy?"

"Yeah. You are my Mommy and Daddy now no matter what." He rested his little hands on my belly. "And I can't wait to meet my new little brothers."

Okay, I really needed to move away from this topic or I was never going to stop crying and we had lots of stuff to do. I wanted to make my son happy no matter what. "Hunter, you are the sweetest little boy ever and I don't care if your Daddy does get mad at me." I looked into Hunter's mind and conjured up the black Labrador retriever puppy that he wanted and everything that he would need to take care of him.

I watched Hunter's eyes grow as big as baseballs seeing his new puppy. "Mommy I love him. He's so cute." The puppy looked up when he heard Hunter's voice and came barreling over and jumped into Hunter's arms. He started licking Hunter's face and Hunter was squealing with delight.

It brought me so much joy seeing him so happy like this. "So what are you going to name your puppy Sweetie?"

"Toothless!"

I could see that he named the puppy after the dragon in the movie "How to Train Your Dragon". "I like that. Why don't you take Toothless inside and show him to Eden."

He held Toothless gently in his arms and raced into the house. Me and Amelia followed inside, then we headed for the kitchen to talk to Lulu. I had saddled her with a house full of guests without even coming home myself and now I was adding a puppy to the mix. She was going to be pissed.

I snuck into the kitchen and Lulu was cleaning up the breakfast dishes. "Hi Lulu."

She turned towards me when she heard my voice and smiled as she dried her hands on her apron. "Good morning Sookie. How are you and the little ones doing this morning?"

"We're just fine thank you."

"Are you hungry? I made an apple and a raspberry Danish for breakfast and there's still plenty left."

Even though I had already eaten that sounded really good right now. "That would be wonderful. Lulu, this is my new friend Amelia, Amelia, this is Lulu." They shook hands and exchanged pleasantries as I sat down at the table taking the pressure off my aching back. "Lulu, are you mad at me?"

She set the most delicious looking pastries in front of me with a tall glass of milk and gave me a confused look. "Why would I ever be angry at you?"

"I saddled you with a house full of guests and didn't even come home last night."

A smile spread across her face. "Oh Darling, your Viking called me before hand and filled me in on what happened last night. I told him I didn't mind taking care of guests. I love taking care of people and seeing another young one for Hunter to play with warms my heart." I felt relief wash over me. "Now you just relax and when your finished you head out and take care of whatever you need to get ready for the wedding tomorrow." My smile grew thinking about my wedding as Amelia and I dug into our food.

As we were eating I told Amelia what I needed to pick up while we were out today; a wedding ring for Eric, a wedding present for him and I wanted to try and find something sexy to wear for our honeymoon that wouldn't make me look too much like a beached whale.

When I started thinking about our honeymoon I realized that I had no idea where we were going. I needed to talk to Eric for a minute to find out if I would need any special clothing for our honeymoon. I grabbed the house phone since I didn't know where I had left my purse and checked the bond to make sure that I wouldn't interrupt anything important. He was happy and didn't seemed to be exerting a lot of energy, so I dialed his cell. He picked up within half a ring. "Lover are you all right?"

"I'm fine Honey, I just wanted to ask you what I should pack for our honeymoon."

"Well, if it were up to me you wouldn't need to pack anything. Where we are going is completely private so you wouldn't have to wear clothes if you didn't want to."

His voice had gone deep and dripping with sex and my panties were even more soaked than before. I wanted him more than anything, but it would just have to wait. "Alone or not I don't think I'm comfortable enough walking around naked."

"All right my love. We are going someplace sunny and warm and that is all I'm going to tell you."

"Okay Viking. Amelia and I are heading out in a bit to do our shopping."

"Why don't you take Hoyt and Eden with you. Eden's going to need new clothes and toys and who knows what Hoyt and Jessica lost when their home was destroyed."

"That's sweet, but I don't think that Hoyt has the kind of money right now to make those kinds of purchases."

"Lover, I wouldn't expect them to. I meant that we would purchase for them whatever they needed. There is an envelope in my night stand that has a black American Express card in it with your name on it."

My mouth was hanging open in shock. I didn't know much about credit cards since I'd never had one before, but I knew that a black card didn't have a limit. "Holy shit Eric! When did you do that?"

"I have my ways my love. Enjoy your shopping, but don't overdo it and don't forget to eat. You're taking care of yourself and our boys."

"I will. I love you Eric."

"I love you too."

We hung up and I popped upstairs to retrieve my new card. I pulled it out of the envelope and it had Sookie Northman on it. I liked that and I couldn't wait until it really was my name. I needed to get everyone together, but I had two phone calls I needed to make first.

I called my purse to me and got out my cell phone and dialed Jason's number first. "Hello?"

"Hey Jason, it's Sookie."

"Hey Sook, did you need something?"

His voice sounded off. "Yeah, I was wondering if we could talk."

"We are talking."

"I mean in person Jason."

"I'm a little busy Sook."

"Well I'm getting married Jas."

"What?"

"I said that I am getting married."

"Are you and Bill going to get married even after everything that he did to you?"

Wow, had it really been that long since I'd talked to Jason. "No actually Bill is dead, I am marrying Eric Northman tomorrow night."

"The tall, blond vamp? Tomorrow night? Sook are you crazy?"

"No I am not. I love Eric and we are getting married tomorrow night and we are having twins."

"I didn't think that vamps could knock someone up."

"You are such a smooth talker Jas. Normally they can't, but Eric is special and we are in love and getting married and I would really like you to be there. It's tomorrow night at ten at the house."

"I don't know if I can make it."

I could not seriously believe what I was hearing. My own brother was telling me that he couldn't come to my wedding! "Why the fuck not?"

"I've got a lot of stuff going on right now and I can't make it."

"You remember that the next time that you need something from me. Actually why don't you forget you even have a sister. Goodbye Jason." I had to hold myself back from throwing the phone against the wall. I couldn't believe Jason, but I had a feeling that something wasn't right with him, but I couldn't deal with him right now.

I took a few deep, calming breathes, then I called Niall. All I got with him was his answering service. "Hi Niall it's Sookie. I don't know if Eric invited you or not, but we are getting married tomorrow at the farmhouse and I would really like it if you and Claudine could come. There are some people that I would like you to meet and I would really like it if you could walk me down the aisle. If you can't make it, that's all right too, but if you could call me either way, that would be great. Okay, um, bye."

I closed the phone and I sat on the bed and let the tears flow. I didn't know how much more I could take. People were out to get us, my brother was a complete and utter tool and I was becoming a panicky mess.

Before I was full on sobbing Amelia was beside me on the bed with her arms around me. "Sookie, it's going to be all right. Everything is going to be all right."

I looked up at her while wiping the tears out of my eyes knowing what she meant. "Are you sure Amelia? Are you really sure?"

"Yes I am. I wish that I knew what and who was coming after you, but I do know that everything is going to be just fine."

I took one more deep breath and pushed my worries aside. "I'm good now. Why don't you go get everyone ready and I'll be down in a minute."

"Okay." She gave me a squeeze, then headed out the door.

I went into the bathroom, did my business, changed my panties, washed my face and hands and brushed my hair. When I was presentable I grabbed my purse and popped downstairs where everyone was waiting. "Who's ready to go shopping?" Hunter and Eden were jumping up and down, but Hoyt seemed hesitant. "What's the matter Hoyt?"

"I don't think that I can go Sook."

"Hoyt, I know that you have lost everything and my husband to be wants to help you and Jess and Eden. Anything that you need is on us and we will not take no for an answer."

I could see that he wanted to fight me on this, but he finally relented. "Thanks Sook."

"Your welcome, now let's move out."

We all loaded into the SUV with Hoyt driving, Amelia in the front seat and me in the middle of the back seat between Hunter and Eden. I was able to sit back and relax a little while the kids talked around me and to my belly. I just rested my hands there as I was sent calm and love from my boys. I couldn't wait to meet them and I hoped that all of this drama was over before they were ready to come into the world.

We spent most of the day at the mall and we all went a little crazy. Hoyt, Eden and Jess all got whole new wardrobes, Eden got tons of new toys, Hunter got some new toys and clothes, I found a simple platinum wedding band for Eric, a beautiful, white peignoir set for the honeymoon, plus some simple maternity dresses and bathing suits, some onesies for the boys that were adorable, and even some clothes for Eric as well. I didn't find him a wedding present, but I still had some ideas that I would ponder over conjuring in the morning.

By the time we got home after stopping at Wendy's for dinner and bringing everything inside it was almost eight o'clock. I had popped all of mine and Eric's things up to our room, then I popped down to the living room where I had my second shock of the day.

Not only had Pam brought that tiger into the house, but she was now wrestling with him in the living room. "What in the fuck are you doing Pamela?"

She quickly pinned the tiger under her and looked up at me with a smile on her face. "We're just playing."

What is it with the people in my life "playing" with this tiger? I went and sat on the couch next to Jess who was cuddling Toothless. "Pam, he was outside for a reason. I didn't want him in the house."

"Okay Sookie."

I watched Pam lead him outside and I focused on Jess and smiled. "I see that you and Toothless have become fast friends."

She laughed at the name. "Yeah, he's really a cutie pie." I realized that now would be the perfect time to tell her and Eden that we were family.

I called Eden into the room and while she cuddled with Jess and Toothless I told them that we were related. They were shocked at first, then they were both so excited. "When can we meet our grandpa Sookie?"

"I don't know Eden. He might be at the wedding tomorrow, but I'm not sure since it's not safe for him to be around vampires." They both looked disappointed, but I had a couple of ways to cheer them up. "I did call him this morning and he will return my call and we'll set up a time when we can all get together." They smiled at that, but I wasn't done yet. "I also wanted to know if you guys would like to be my bridesmaids tomorrow night."

"Oh Sookie that would be so much fun."

"Of course Sookie."

"Great. You guys can decided on what dresses you want to wear and I can conjure them up in the morning." Our conversation was interrupted by the sound of my phone ringing. I pulled out my phone and checked the caller ID and smiled when I saw that it was Eric. "Hello future hubby."

"Good evening my future wife. How are you and the boys?"

"We're good, but we miss you."

"I miss you too. That's why I called. I planned a little surprise for you tonight."

"What did you have in mind?"

"Well, Octavia left a little while ago to head for the house, so I thought that you could pop over here with me so we could spend a little more alone time together."

"I think that I can do that, but I won't be spending the night."

"Why not?" I could actually hear him pouting over the phone.

"Because it's bad luck."

"There's nothing I can do to change your mind?"

"Not on this Viking, but we can play for a little while. Actually we need to play for hours." I hadn't realized how horny I was until I started talking to Eric and thinking about be with him. I needed him very much right about now.

"That sounds like the best way to spend my last night as a bachelor."

"Yes it does. I'll be there in ten minutes."

"I'll be waiting."

I popped downstairs and ran slash waddled around the house making sure everyone was all right for the night and telling them that I was going out. When everyone was good I slipped into the garage, snapped myself into a sexy gown that I wouldn't mind getting torn and popped myself to my Viking.
