A/N Two chapters in one night! Holy cow. Just don't get excited that this will happen all the time, this is just my muses being very nice to me. I have more to say, but I'll leave it for the bottom. Enjoy and let me know what you think!

EPOV

I was pulled out of a sound sleep by little bumps against my stomach. I opened my eyes and saw that my boys were kicking me through their mother's stomach. I gently slid down the down the bed so that I was face to stomach with the boys. I slowly slid Sookie's tank top up and gently stroked her tummy. "Good morning my sons. Are you both well this morning?" A wave of love and happiness came through the bond from both of them.

I couldn't stop smiling. This was going to be the most incredible day in all of my one thousand years. I was going to marry and become pledged to my soul mate, the woman that I loved more than anything in the world.

She didn't know about the pledging ceremony because I wanted that to be a surprise. I wanted her to be my wife in every way possible. I made sure to ask Lulu to have Sookie bring the velvet bundle with the knife in it with her so she could present it to me during the ceremony. I couldn't wait.

I went back to talking to my sons, this time in Swedish. I wanted them to be able to speak that as well as English. It would be advantageous for them to be bilingual, but it would also annoy their mother when we spoke in front of her and she couldn't understand. It would be amusing to annoy my beloved, but not too much.

I was so engrossed in what I was doing that it surprised me when I felt Sookie's hand running through my hair. I turned my head to look up at her and she was smiling down at me. "Good morning my love. How did you sleep?"

"Very well thank you. How long have you been talking Swedish to my tummy?"

"I have only been talking to my sons for a few moments. They were kicking me to get my attention."

"They want your attention because they love you. You are their daddy."

"And I love them as well." I slid back up the bed so that I was face to face with Sookie. "And I love you as well my angel." I leaned in and gently kissed her lips.

"I love you too baby." I tried to deepen out kiss, but Sookie gently pushed me away. "As much as I would enjoy being pillaged right now Viking, I have a surprise for you that has just arrived."

"Lover, you didn't need to get me anything."

"Oh, I think that you are going to be very happy when you see what I did just for you. Get dressed and meet me downstairs in a few minutes." She kissed me once more, then she popped away.

I quickly changed into jeans and a t-shirt before heading downstairs. I had no idea what she could have possibly gotten for me. I hadn't heard any type of vehicle pull up, so I was very intrigued by this.

I reached the bottom of the stairs and was heading into the living room when I stopped dead in my tracks. My eyes were practically bulging out of my head and my jaw had dropped to the floor. I really couldn't believe what I was seeing before my eyes. "Godric?" It was barely more than a whisper, but I knew that he'd heard it.

A smile spread across his face. "Hello Eric."

"Are you really here? I'm not seeing things again am I?"

"I'm really here this time. Your bride had brought me back. You are going to need my help in the future and I was too rash when I made my decision to go up to that rooftop. I was selfish and I promise to never do it ever again."

I didn't know what I wanted to do with myself in that moment. Part of me wanted to hug him, touch him to make sure that he really was real, but there was another part of me that wanted to chain him up in Fangtasia's basement so that he really wouldn't try to meet the sun, but I knew that I couldn't do that.

I was lost in my jumbled, chaotic thoughts when I felt Sookie's hand on my arm. I looked down at her, but I was still in shock. "Sweetie, I'm going to go now."

"Okay." I knew that I needed to say so much more, but I just couldn't get myself to speak.

Her hands moved up to my face and she pulled me down so that I was eye level with her. "Eric, it's okay. He's here and he's not going anywhere. Okay?" I nodded my head and she leaned in and kissed me. I wasn't really focused on kissing her and she wasn't happy about that. She slapped my cheek to force me out of my shock. "Eric Northman, this is our last kiss before we get married and that is the best that you can do? I am very disappointed in you." That was a definite blow to my ego and I couldn't have that.

I gently grabbed her, pulled her to me and kissed her like there was no tomorrow. I poured all of my love and devotion and joy into that one single kiss and I kept kissing her until she was completely breathless. "Thank you Lover. What you have done means more to me than anything else in the world."

"Your welcome. I would do anything for you, but right now I have to get going. I have a wedding to get ready for and you and Godric have some catching up to do." She kissed me one last time before she popped away.

"Now my child, why don't we talk about how you feel having your maker help you run your states."

"Godric, you don't have to do that. You have been gone for months. Don't you want to take some time to get back into the swing of things?"

"Eric, I've never really been out of the swing of things. I have been watching over you since I was gone and Sookie's filled me in on some of the finer details. This is where I am suppose to be and this is what I am suppose to be doing."

There were so many questions that I wanted to ask him, but I didn't want to overload him on his first day back and there would be time to talk later. I was ready to just be happy having him back and to have him here for the happiest and most important day of my existence.

We spent the rest of the afternoon doing what the two of us did best together, strategizing our attack against De Castro. I'd had a tentative plan in place, but with Godric's help we now had a solid plan. That Spanish prick was not getting anywhere near my wife, my kids or my kingdoms.

Late in the afternoon we turned to finishing up some last minute wedding details and by the time it was full dark there were already guests starting to arrive.

Lulu arrived with a whole van full or people: Hunter, Pam, Jessica, Hoyt and Eden. She came over to me carrying my tux as well as Godric's. I checked with her to see how Sookie was doing and to make sure that she was still bringing the knife with her. She said that everything was all set.

After greeting everyone and seeing that everything was running smoothly, I went upstairs to get changed. I let my mind relax as I put on my tux and focused on my bond with Sookie. She was feeling anxious, but very happy as well. I smiled as I sent love and excitement back to her.

I quickly finished dressing and went back out to the backyard. People were coming and going setting up the tables and chairs for the reception. They were also setting up the buffet of human food and the blood fountain that I had ordered for the vampires.

I went through the crowd of people being the polite host that Sookie would expect me to be, but there was one person that I was looking for that wasn't here yet and that was very bad.

I was making my way out of the crowd to call my special guest to find out what was keeping him when I felt someone come up behind me and put a hand on my shoulder. "Stop worrying Brother, I'm here."

I turned around and let the relief wash over me. There stood the man who was going to marry Sookie and I and who was also my younger vampire brother Alexander. Around the time that I made Pam, Godric had made Alexander. Godric had been lonely with me off on my own, but once we each had our new children the four of us spent almost three decades together before we all went our separate ways.

"Are you trying to frighten me? I have enough to worry about tonight without you being late."

"It's been a long time since we've seen each other. I just wanted to keep you on your toes."

"My bride does that enough, I don't need you to do that as well."

"Where is your bride? Is she hiding from your view?"

"No, she is not here yet."

"Are you sure that she will show up at all Brother? Maybe she has changed her mind about marrying you."

"She wouldn't do that, not with my sons growing in her belly."

He stood there shocked at what I had just told him. I didn't want him to be completely out of it, so I gave him the abridged version of my relationship with Sookie. "You always were one lucky son of a bitch Brother."

"Yes, I am very lucky." I excused myself to check on the little details one last time while Alexander went to get set up.

I was in the middle of triple checking everything when I felt Sookie pop into the house. I was very, very tempted to run inside so that I could see her and touch her and kiss her, but I was able to restrain myself.

I announced to the crowd that we were going to start soon and I watched as everyone started taking their seats. I watched Jessica and Eden head inside to help Sookie and Godric and Pam followed me up to the altar where Alexander was waiting for us.

When I was in my spot I called out mentally to my bride. Lover, it's time for you to become Mrs. Northman.

We'll be right down honey. I love you.

I love you too. I signaled to the DJ to start the music, then all of my attention was focused on the house. I barely noticed Hunter, Eden and Jessica walking towards me, all I was focused on was seeing Sookie.

When she stepped outside if I'd been breathing she would have taken my breath away. She was more beautiful than I had ever seen her before in her wedding gown. She had conjured a dress that was like the dress she wore the first time that she came to Fangtasia. It was white with red flowers on it, but instead of form fitting to her curves, this dress flowed out and down to her ankles to make her baby bump not so obvious.

She had her hair pulled up off of her neck and held back with a veil that was covering her face, but I could still see her smiling at me. I could feel her happiness flow through our bond and I sent it right back to her.

She stepped up to the altar and I already wanted to pull her into my arms and kiss her senseless, but we had a ceremony to get through. She turned to me and handed me the bundle with the ceremonial knife in it. I pulled the knife out of the bag, kissed it and made a showing of it to all of the vampires present before handing it to Alexander.

The next ten minutes went by in a blur. There were vows spoken, blood and rings were exchanged and tears were shed. It was absolutely perfect.

When Alexander announced that I could kiss the bride, I gently lifted Sookie's veil, pulled her against me and dipped her into a kiss that was mostly appropriate in public, but still had enough passion to express how happy I was that she was now my wife.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to present to you Mr. and Mrs. Eric Northman." The applause from our audience was enough to get me to pull away from our kiss and set Sookie back on her feet. She was smiling up at me and I knew that her smile matched my own. I had never been so happy before.

I led Sookie back down the aisle, then around to the front of the house. I took her to the porch swing so that the two of us could just have a couple of minutes to ourselves.

SPOV

I was now Mrs. Eric Northman! It felt even more amazing than I ever thought possible. When the ceremony was over and Eric pulled me away from everyone I was assuming that he was taking me inside for our first man and wife quickie, but I was wrong. He surprised me by taking me to the front porch where he sat down on the swing and pulled me into his lap. "Was your wedding everything that you ever dreamed of Lover?"

I had to stop and think about that for a moment before I answered. This had been a beautiful wedding and I was so happy, but there was a very big part of my dream that had been missing tonight. "It was perfect Eric, I just wish that Gran and Jason had been here." I couldn't stop the tears that started streaming down my cheeks. "I'm sorry baby, I just wish that I knew what was wrong with Jason. It's not like him to brush me off the way that he did."

He pulled me tighter into his arms and stroked my back. "Lover, it will be all right. Would you like me to send Pam over to check on him while we are on our honeymoon?"

"Would she mind? I'm just really worried about him."

"He'll be just fine, I'll make sure of that." He leaned in and gently kissed me and we just sat there cuddled together for a few minutes, but I knew that we had to go back to our guests. "Are you ready to go back to our reception Lover?"

"I guess so."

He leaned in close and whispered in my ear. "The sooner we get the reception over with Lover, the sooner we can get on to our honeymoon."

That brought a huge smile to my face. "I like the sound of that. Let's go." He set me down on my feet and we made our way out back.

We mingled with our guests for awhile with Eric introducing me to some of his vampires that I hadn't met yet and him being polite to my friends. He was going to get an extra special treat for that. But it didn't take long for my feet to be killing me and my stomach start to rumble. Eric led me over to our table and had me sit down while he went to get me a plate of food.

I was watching everyone dancing and drinking and enjoying themselves when the vampire that had married Eric and I came over and sat down next to me. "Good evening Mrs. Northman. It is so nice to meet you. I would have introduced myself sooner, but you were busy. My name is Alexander and I am Eric's vampire brother."

"Oh, it's nice to meet you. I didn't realized that Godric had another child."

"I tend to keep to myself, but when Eric called and asked me to do this for him I jumped at the chance. You know that this is the first vampire/human wedding in Louisiana."

"Well thank you for that and for performing the pledging ceremony as well."

"Eric said that he never told you about the pledging."

"It's very hard for my husband to keep a secret from me." I didn't elaborate more because that was when Eric came back with my dinner. I kissed him and thanked him, then focused all of my attention on my food while he and Alexander spoke.

After I was done eating Eric and I took a few spins around the dance floor before throwing the garter and the bouquet into the crowd. That was when my new husband then announced that it was time for us to go. I was more than okay with that, but I had to check on Hunter first.

Hunter and Eden were playing with Toothless on the grass, but when Hunter saw me coming, he ran over and threw his little arms around me as best that he could. "Hi Mommy."

"Hi baby. Are you having a good time?" He nodded enthusiastically, "Good." I crouched down so that I was closer to eye level with him. "Mommy and Daddy are getting ready to go now. Are you going to be a good boy for Lulu?"

"Of course Mommy."

"Good boy. Now give me a hug and a kiss." He did and I smiled at him. "I am going to miss you so much. Now you know that if anything bad happens you can call Mommy and we'll be right home."

"I know Mommy. We'll be fine."

"Good." Eric helped me back up, then swept Hunter into his arms while I went to talk to Lulu. "Lulu, are you sure that you don't mind watching Hunter while we're gone?"

"Of course not. I'll take him and Eden to play with my grandkids and we'll all have a great time. Don't worry about a thing."

"I'll try not to."

Eric came up behind me and slid his arms around me. "Are you ready to go Mrs. Northman?"

I was as in love with my new name as I was with my new husband. "Of course Mr. Northman." We both waved goodbye to everyone as we made our way inside. Eric gathered up our luggage in one arm and me in the other. "So, where are we headed hubby?"

"I have it pictured in my mind. Do you think that you can pop us there?"

I saw the beautiful house and I was more than ready to go there. There was a secluded beach and it just looked very relaxing. This was going to be so much fun. "No problem. Let's go." I focused on the house in his mind and in seconds we were popping away to our honeymoon.

I feel like I rushed this chapter a little, but I really wanted to get these two married and now they are. They are going to have a little peace on their honeymoon, but I am warning you guys now that that horrible thing that keeps getting mentioned is going to happen on their honeymoon. Now neither of them or the babies are going to get hurt, they are just going to be messed with for a while. So if one of the upcoming chapters seems out of place you'll know why. Again, let me know what you think:)
