A/N I really am trying to get these two married and I am hoping to do it in the next chapter, but don't hold me to that. Enjoy and let me know what you think:)


I popped myself into the living room and I could feel my Viking rushing towards me. Before I could fully get my bearings back I was in his arms and being kissed breathless. This was what I had been thinking about, what I'd been craving all day. I needed this closeness with him and it would be hard to leave him later on, but I wouldn't think about that right now.

"I've missed you today Lover."

"I missed you too, so much." He lifted me into his arm bridal style and carried me upstairs. He was walking at a human pace up the stairs and I could feel magic in the air. "What have you been up to today baby?"

He smiled down at me. "Well, Octavia helped me with my powers, she helped me with some of the wedding arrangements and she worked her magic on my little surprise." He stopped outside my old bedroom door and I could hear soft music playing inside.

He opened the door gently and set me down just inside. I looked around and my jaw dropped and tears came to my eyes at what I saw. "Oh Eric!"

"Do you like it Lover?"

Like it? I loved it. The room was in pristine condition, not the mess that it had been before after the Mary-Ann debacle. There was a new king sized canopy bed where my old full sized bed had been, there were candles all around lighting the room and rose petals spread everywhere. "I love it so much Eric. I wish that the whole house could look this good again."

He led me over to the bed where I sat down and he knelt before me. "It will Sookie." I looked down at him a bit confused about what he meant. "I was going to have it be a surprise, but while we are on our honeymoon I've hired a crew to come in and clean and repair the entire house."

My tears were streaming down my face even faster than before. "Oh Sweetie, you are so good to me. What have I ever done to deserve you?"

"I know how much you care about the appearance of your house and I wanted to make it perfect for you. I want to make you happy."

"You have already made me so happy." I leaned in and kissed him with all of the love and passion that I had in me. "I love you Eric Northman and I can't wait to finally be your wife."

"And I love you Sookie Stackhouse and I can't wait to finally be you husband."

Eric moved us both up onto the bed and instead of ripping my gown off like I expected he made love to me gently and tenderly. There was no rush, there were kisses and caresses and eventually we both were brought to our climaxes.

I would have been happy to just stayed curled up in bed with Eric for the rest of the night. I felt safe and content in his arms, but I needed to get back home. I wanted to check on Hunter and Eden and I needed to conjure up clothes for the wedding. I was sure that it would take a lot out of me and I would need to probably eat again, then sleep for a while.

I forced myself out of the bed, snapped my fingers so that I was now wearing a tank top and shorts. I looked down at Eric still lying on the bed and he was actually pouting at me now that I was dressed and really leaving. "Lover, don't go." He got up and slid his arms around me from behind and went to pull me against him, but I popped to the other side of the room before he could pull me against him.

"I have to go. I don't want to, but I have clothing to conjure for the wedding and I want to check on Hunter and Eden and I still need to decide on my on dress as well."

He raced over to me at vamp speed and grabbed me before I could pop away again. "Stay just a little while longer."

He pushed my hair aside and trailed his lips, tongue and fang over the sensitive spot behind my ear. "You don't play fair."

"No I don't, I play to get what I want and I want you to stay." He slid his hand under my tank top to cup my breast, but I quickly pushed it away.

"Honey, I promise that this will be the last night that we will be apart. After tomorrow night I will be your wife and you will never be able to get rid of me then."

"As if I would ever want to be rid of you Lover." He leaned down and gave me one last kiss before I had to go. "I love you Sookie."

"I love you too." We shared one more kiss before I popped away.

I popped home up into our bedroom and it just didn't feel right being here without Eric here with me. I knew that it was just for tonight and that I could make it through, but that didn't mean that I had to like it. I needed to focus on what I needed to do so that I wouldn't be tempted to pop back to the farmhouse to Eric.

I went over to the bed and found that the girls had left me pictures of the dresses they wanted and Pam left a note that said that she was going to stand up with Eric during the ceremony. I thought that was perfect, but I also felt bad that I had two people standing up with me while he only had one.

I didn't think that was fair, but I didn't know anyone around here who he would want to stand up with him. I knew in my heart that there was another person that he would want to stand beside him, but that wasn't possible. Godric was gone and he wasn't coming back. You can get him back Sookie, you have the power with a little bit of help. You and Eric will need his help with the trouble that is coming your way. He wasn't meant to die on that rooftop. You can do this.

I didn't know what to think at that moment. Did I really and truly have the power inside of me to resurrect a dead vampire? The voice in my head that I knew was Freya certainly thought so, but who would be the little help that she told me about? Was it Niall or some other fairy? I really didn't think so.

There was a knock on the door and Hunter's little face popped inside. "Hi Mommy."

"Hey Baby. What's the matter?"

"Nothing, I'm here to help with Daddy's surprise."

No, this couldn't be right. Hunter was just a little boy and he didn't have any powers besides his telepathy. "Hunter, Sweetie, I don't think that you can help me with this."

"Yes I can. I don't have my powers yet, but I have the magic deep in my belly that you need to bring back Granddaddy Godric."

I couldn't stop the giggles that escaped my lips. I couldn't imagine anyone calling Godric granddaddy, especially since he himself was so young when he was turned, but I pushed that aside for now. "Hunter, are you sure about this?"

He came over and scrambled up on the bed so that we were face to face. "We can do this Mommy, we have to do this. We need Granddaddy Godric."

I couldn't fight with that sweet face. I sat down on the bed Indian style and Hunter mirror my position. "Okay Baby, what do we need to do?"

"We need to hold hands and focus on him. You'll know what to do once we start."

I was still skeptical about this, but it wouldn't hurt to try. I took a few deep, cleansing breathes to calm down and clear my mind, then I took Hunter's hands and focused on Godric.

I let myself remember that morning on the roof. I never wanted him to stay there and meet the sun and I wished that I had done more to get him to come down, but I could fix it now. I imagined him standing here in this room and I poured a little bit of extra magic into it so the Godric could walk in the sun like Eric could.

I felt the magic flowing through Hunter and myself, then out of the house. I knew the magic was working it's way to everyone who knew that Godric had died and making them believe that he didn't.

The magic kept growing and growing until I heard a pop in the room. I had closed my eyes and I wanted to open them to see if he was really here, but I needed to stay focused for just a little while longer.

The magic flowed back into me and Hunter and when it was done I opened my eyes. I looked next to the bed and there stood Godric. I got of the bed as quickly as I could and threw my arms around him. "Oh Godric, I am so glad to see you."

He gently pulled out of my embrace and smiled down at my baby bump as he set his hand on top of it. "I see that you have been a busy woman since I last saw you Miss Stackhouse."

"Godric, please call me Sookie. We are going to be in-laws of sorts after all."

His smile grew even bigger at my words. "I knew that you and Eric would find your way together, but what about your child? Who is the father?"

"Eric is the father of these two sweet boys that are growing inside of me right now."

"How is that possible?"

"Magic." I was going to explain further about what I was, but Hunter was going crazy jumping up and down next to me, so I knew that I had to introduce him. "Godric, this little jumping bean beside me is my son Hunter."

Before Godric could ask how that was possible, Hunter had jumped up into his arms and hugged Godric as tight as he could. "Granddaddy Godric, I've been waiting for you to come back."

Godric seemed very confused for a minute until I saw his eyes glaze over and I could feel the magic passing into him from Hunter. I knew that Hunter was showing him what he needed to know.

I watched the haze clear and he smiled at me. I could see that he was content holding Hunter so I suggested that they head downstairs to visit with everyone and that I would be down shortly.

When they disappeared out the door I went back to the bed and looked at what the girls had picked out for dresses. Pam had picked out a soft lavender dress with off the shoulder straps that went down to mid calf with a slit up the side, Jess had picked out a red satin dress with spaghetti straps that was full length and Eden had picked out a deep amethyst satin gown that had short sleeves and fell just below the knee. They were all different, but I knew that they would all look beautiful.

I conjured up the dresses along with all the shoes and accessories that they would need, then I conjured up a tuxedo for Hunter and one for Godric as well. I went over everything making sure that I hadn't forgotten anything before I popped myself and everything downstairs.

I laid everything out on the sofa in separate piles, then I turned and found everyone gatherer around Godric. Pam was filling Jess and Eden in on who Godric was, while Godric was telling Hunter stories about his travels with Eric way back when Eric was first made. I really wanted to stay and listen to the tales, but my stomach was grumbling after all of the magic that I had used and there was a wonderful aroma coming from the kitchen.

I followed the smell through the house to the kitchen and I found some kind of cheesy beef-a-roni thing hanging out in the crock pot. I quickly filled up a bowl, grabbed a root beer from the fridge and sat down to eat.

It didn't take me long to get through the first bowl and I quickly started on a second. I was half way through that bowl when Godric walked in and sat down next to me. I conjured up a bottle of AB negative blood for him so I wouldn't feel so bad about eating in front of him. "You've become very powerful, haven't you?"

"Yes I have. It's scary sometimes, but as long as the people that I love and care about are safe and protected, I'll deal with the powers I have."

"You weren't given anything that you couldn't handle Sookie."

I looked up at him and I felt that he knew something that I needed to know about. "Godric, what do you know?"

"I know that you're worrying about something that you can't control, that nobody can control. I don't know what is going to happen, but I know that everything will turn out just fine."

I don't know why, but Godric's reassurance about everything being fine made me feel better about whatever was coming our way. "Thank you." I couldn't stop the yawn that escaped my lips. "Excuse me."

"You're tired. You should rest up for your big day tomorrow."

"That's what I want to do, but I don't know how well I will be able to sleep without Eric beside me. I'll just have to deal with it."

"I've never understood that particular tradition. There are people who get married in the spur of the moment in Vegas all the time and they don't spend any time apart. If it bothers you to be away from your intended, you should go and be with him."

"But what about Hunter and my houseguests? I haven't been spending enough time with Hunter and don't you want to go and visit with Eric before the wedding?"

"You've made me a day walker, haven't you?"

"Yes."

"Well then I will stay here tonight and watch the children and get to know young Jessica and Hoyt better while you spend the night with Eric. I'll come over there in the morning, then you can come back here and spend time with Hunter before the wedding."

I wanted to argue with him, but I just didn't have it in me. I wanted to be with Eric and so did the boys. From what I was getting from them, they wanted to be with their Daddy tonight. I couldn't deny my babies what they needed. "Are you sure that you don't mind Godric? I don't want to be selfish your first night back."

"You aren't. You need to be with him, so just go before I change my mind."

I jumped up and threw my arms around his neck. "Thank you so much Godric."

"You might want to remove my scent from you if you want to keep my arrival a secret."

I quickly pulled away from and snapped my fingers. I was in a fresh tank top and shorts and I was magically shower fresh. "No problem. You'll let everyone know that I'll be back in the morning."

"Of course. Have fun."

"We will." I was sleepy and really just wanted some cuddling tonight, but who knew what I'd feel like doing when I got close to Eric.

I focused on where he was through our bond and he was in the shower at that moment. How in the hell was I suppose to keep my hands to myself when he was all wet? I was just going to have to retrain myself.

I focused on the bed and popped myself there. I landed with a bit of a thump and I knew that Eric heard me. I managed to prop myself up against the pillows as he came running out. Any restraint that I'd had left me when I saw him standing before me all naked and wet. In that moment he wasn't the only one who was dripping wet. "Lover what are you doing here? I thought it was bad luck or some such nonsense."

"I had a change of heart. That and the boys really wanted to be near their Daddy tonight."

In less than a second he was lying next to me, pulling up my shirt and rubbing my stretched out belly. "How are my boys tonight?" Happiness came through the bond from the boys and we both smiled at each other.

"You know Sweetie, we really should start thinking about what we're going to call our sons."

"Eric Jr. does have a nice ring to it."

"I don't think that the world could handle two Eric Northmans in the world. What about the name Teddy?"

"I will not have one of my sons named after a stuffed animal. What about the name Ulfrik? That was my father's name."

"I think that would make a good middle name." I moved to try and get more comfortable on the bed, but it wasn't really working out for me.

"Are you all right Lover?"

"Not really. My back is killing me, my ankles are swollen, and I feel like a beached whale."

"You are beautiful my love and our sons are going to be perfect after all of your suffering. Would you like a massage Lover? Would that make you feel better?"

"That would be wonderful Honey, but could you do something for me first?"

"Anything for you Lover."

"Could you put some clothes on? It's distracting having you all naked next to me and I'm feeling too achy and sleepy to do anything more tonight."

"Alright Lover." He disappeared into the bathroom and came back out less than a minute later with a pair of boxer shorts on. I would have asked him to put a shirt on too, but I couldn't bare to have him cover up that gorgeous chest of his.

Eric sat down on the bed and started massaging my feet and for the next two hours he got me totally relaxed as we discussed baby names. We had a few that we both liked, but nothing solid. There was still a little time for us to decide.

When I was completely relaxed I could barely keep my eyes open any longer. Eric moved in so that he was spooning behind me and rested his hand protectively over out boys. He started whispering soothing words in my ear, but he was speaking Swedish so I had no idea what he was saying. I was quickly fast a sleep with a smile on my face and looking forward to the following day.
