Author's Note: Bill and I know we have the best fans on the net and we thank you greatly for your patience and support of our little dribble. My Eric and I will also like to thank you for all your congratulations on our marriage. Don't worry, I'm still trying to convince him to change his name to Bill.

We didn't let anyone know I'd given birth yet and Bill had some witches he knew cast spells around the house for our protection. I had thought Amelia and Octavia would be upset with us as we'd not asked them, but when they learned of who the witches were they both were awed at Bill's contacts.

"Amelia please don't be upset with us but Bill says that it would be for your own protection if you and Octavia were not the one's casting the spells. Please tell me that it's OK with you."

"Sookie do you know who those witches are? Do you have any idea how powerful they are?" She looked at me with awe spread on her face.

"No I don't. Octavia is this a good thing? Have you ever heard of them before?"

Octavia got up from the rocking chair and handed little William to me a smile spread across her face, "These witches are older than many vampires we know. They are from a coven that has been around for a millennia or two and few know anything about them, much less how to reach them and have their cooperation. Sookie my dear it seems that Bill has deep connections in the witch world."

Amelia nodded her head in agreement a smile creeping into her face as she leaned in and kissed the baby's head. I on the other hand didn't know whether I felt safer or more scared; what was it with Bill and all of these contacts I'd never heard of before. I wondered if they were all from his database or if they were contacts he made through Octavious.

Claudine stopped by the following night and informed us that Niall would offer us fae magic intervention and that we should accept it as the baby was part fae. She also instructed us not to let any fae know the exact source of the witches' magic or that Bill had been the one to make the contact.

Niall came to visit and was highly surprised at the power of the protection spell cast by the witches. He wanted to know if it had been Octavious idea or if Amelia had powerful friends he was not aware of. We let him believe that Amelia and Octavia were the source of the spell cast.

Niall had fae witches cast double spells around the house so we'd need less security. He played with the baby and looked at him with some sort of reverence; and Bill and I were slowly deciding to confront him about his plans for our son.

All of our witch protection worked perfectly, no one came near the house and if they tried, they quickly turned around and left not being any wiser to their mood change. Everything was working as it should until the night Eric and Octavious came looking for Bill, both immediately smelling the baby on Bill.

Eric's eyes grew wide and black, his fangs descended and his body seemed to elongate itself all in mere seconds. I grabbed William and ran up the stairs to the safe room but I could hear Octavious and Bill growling and snarling. I didn't know what to expect, I locked the door and put the baby in his basinet before heading to the window.

Octavious had Eric by the throat and was shaking him like a rag doll; his long fingers looked as if they had twirled themselves all the way around Eric's throat. Bill was across from them and all vamped out, I think the only thing keeping him from ripping Eric to shreds was Octavious outstretched arm and his deep voice calling out to him to stop and for Eric to snap out of it.

Eric shook his head and appeared to be calming down as Octavious let him fall out of his grasp. Bill straightened himself but still remained on alert as Eric kept shaking his head as if he was trying to snap himself out of a trance. Finally Eric stood up, dusted his pants and bowed to Octavious and Bill.

"Northman if you ever come near my family aga.." Bill started but Octavious interrupted,

"William the Northman reacted like any other vampire will react if he comes near your son so soon after his birth. Luckily for him and possibly you, he was able to restrain himself before he went after them."

"Lucky for me? I would kill him and any other that comes after my wife and son. Even if it costs me my final death."

"Bill, it is lucky for us as he will be needed when we face this next hurdle and to protect your wife and son." Octavious said in his velvety voice that carried so much authority.

"I don't know what came over me… what, what was that? It was fairie and vampire all rolled into one. Bill you know I would never do anything to hurt Sookie or her child but it was an overwhelming essence; it is everywhere on you. You must feel that." Eric said to Bill, he was still trying to control himself but for some reason I believed him.

I called Amelia and asked her to hurry over because I needed her assistance. I called from the door way and rescinded Eric's and Octavious' invitation into our home. Eric appeared offended but he understood my reasons that was until I spoke.

"Amelia is on her way here, she is going to stay with the baby inside. If what Octavious said is true Eric then Bill and I have to be certain that you mean what you said. We need to know that you will not attack our son, either of you. I will tell you this, if any of you attempts to hurt him or any member of my family, I will kill you myself or have Niall do it for me." Everyone just stared at me, no one said a word; Amelia made her way inside the house as I finished my little speech. Bill tried to say something but the look on my face shut him down immediately; Octavious on the other hand smiled, bowed and said, "Spoken like the mother of a true prince My Lady."

"I'm glad you think so Octavious, but I can tell you that you are wrong… I do not speak as the mother of a "prince" but as a mother period. A mother that would do anything to keep her child safe; so all of you better listen carefully, I will accept your advice but I will not brook any deals that place my family in jeopardy particularly those that place little William in jeopardy."

I stood my ground and dug in my heels into my position, nothing they said was going to change my mind about what I was going to do next; but I needed to know who I could trust around my family.

"Bill sweetheart, I love you but I need for you to stay where you're at and not move unless I ask you to. Can you do that for me darling?"

"Sweetheart, you know I would do anything for you but you have me at a loss what are you planning? I can feel…" He stopped himself short as I cut off my emotions from him; he just stared at me and after a couple of seconds nodded his consent to whatever I had planned.

"Octavious, I have to ask you for your assistance in this. I need for you to hold Bill if he can not control himself, I also need for you to keep to your word of meaning no harm to my family or me. Can I count on you for that?"

"My Lady, I gave you my word not as a vampire but as a friend of your grandfather. I will do as you ask but please know that if you are placed in any danger I WILL defend you whatever the cost may be." He bowed to me and nodded to Bill and Eric.

"I need for all of you to stay where you are for a minute, I will be right back and Eric, I'm going to need for you to be you and not worry about what is going on around us. This is about you and me right now. Do you think you can do that…, for me?"

"My lover, I would do anything for you this you know but please think before you do whatever it is you are setting your mind to do as I might not be able to control myself." Eric spoke totally ignoring Bill and Octavious; he knew those words where enough to send Bill into a frenzy but I understood from them that he would comply with my request.

I turned and walked back into the house, I went up to our bedroom and removed baby William's onesy; then I asked Amelia to cast a spell around the bedroom and remain in it no matter what happened outside, I also handed her Bill's cell phone cued into Niall's number.

"Amelia, I am trusting you with my heart, if anything happens please do not leave this room, you call Niall immediately but do not leave William's side." I kissed the baby and hugged my friend and walked out of the room and out onto the front yard.

The moment I passed the safety of the front porch I could see Eric tensing up, his eyes grew black, his fangs descended and he was fighting to control himself as he caught the scent from the baby's onesy. Bill was struggling with himself, trying not to pounce Eric as I made my way over to Eric. Octavious on the other hand appeared to remain calm as he watched my every move.

I walked up to Eric and held the onesy to my chest, I knew that the scent from the baby was mixing with my own and I also knew that any vampire would be highly intoxicated and ready to attack and drain me any moment. However, I needed to be sure.

I continued to walk up to Eric until I was in front of him. His eyes were pools of black lust, I could hear a growl forming in his chest and I bit my lip until it bled. Octavious and Bill shot their heads towards me as they smelled my blood. Bill started to snarl at Eric but I calmed him by simply winking and smiling at him.

I took my finger and traced it over my bleeding lip then I presented my bloody finger to Eric; his eyes widened and it was as if the entire world had melted away from his sight. He grabbed my hand and brought it up to his nose inhaling my scent…, "my Lover" he said before his tongue darted out and licked the blood from my finger.

I could feel Bill's jealousy and hate for Eric as I pulled my hand from Eric and pushed the baby's onesy into his face. My other hand was shot in a stop motion behind my back towards Bill. I needed for him to know that I was in full control of my emotions and that he needed to regain control also. But from behind me I heard him growl… "ENOUGH!"

I turned to look at Bill and as I was getting ready to walk to him Eric grabbed me and pulled me to him; I thought all hell was about to let loose until Eric spoke.

"Sookie, thank you. I promise you that I will never harm your family, especially not your son. Now go to your husband." He let go of me as fast as he had hugged me, he nodded towards Bill and then he pushed me towards him.

"Bill, we need to discuss what we have learned regarding De Castro but in light of tonight's events, I believe it can wait until tomorrow. So unless you or Octavious want to finish this tonight I will be taking my leave." Eric was back to being his pragmatic self and from the safety of Bill's arms I let Bill feel what I wanted us to do next and for the first time Bill shot me down.

"Sheriff I would like to introduce you to our son," Bill said and I almost fell on my ass from the shock of his words, I was never happier he was holding on to me. They exchanged nods and we entered our home as I gave Eric & Octavious permission to enter it again; but I was dead ready to rescind Eric's invitation if he even looked at the baby wrong.

I called up to Amelia and met her at the top of the stairs where she handed William to me. Eric stood in between Bill and Octavious. All three had strategically placed themselves so that if Eric couldn't control himself they would be able to hold him away from us. I kissed our son and handed him to Bill who proceeded to walk over to Eric. Eric's eyes were dark but I could feel that it wasn't from the kind of blood lust fairies caused but from something else. I motioned for all of us to sit on the sofa as Bill introduced our son to his sheriff.

"Sheriff, this is our son, William Samuel Octavious Compton." Both Eric and Octavious shot a surprised look at us and finally Octavious spoke.

"Octavious? I am honored but why?" He bowed to us and remained still until I spoke.

"Octavious, you have done so much for us in the past couple of months without asking for anything in return that we felt it was only fitting that he would be named after one of his godfathers." I smiled up at him and I could swear I saw the old evil and powerful vampire get misty eyed.

"Plus, fate has deemed our choice worthy as the angel Claudine has approved the choice," Bill added matter of factly.

After other pleasantries and Eric awkwardly holding William, our guests bid their goodbyes. We asked Amelia to take the baby home with her for a couple of hours. Octavious agreed to stay with her at the house until we returned to pick him up later.

We drove the baby and Amelia over and with all the spells cast between both homes we felt safe at leaving them both at gran's old house so that Bill and I could have some alone time.

Since the baby had been born we hadn't really had any alone alone time and with the surges of lust coming from Bill I was never happier that Amelia, Octavious and Octavia doted and loved the baby so much. It actually didn't hit me until that moment that Octavious and Octavia had similar names; the things that fly through your head when you are nervous never ceased to amaze me.

I was actually shaking in my skin by the time we drove back to the house; I felt as if it was the first time I'd been alone with Bill. A part of me wondered if he would let us at least get into the house, while the other side of me was trying to control itself from jumping him in the car. Bill on the other hand seemed his cool and collected self, a small smile edging the corners of his mouth; of course he could feel me and the bundle of emotions and lust I was rolled up into.

Bill politely opened my door and held his hand out to me as I stepped out of the car. He nodded his head to me as I entered our home and then he just walked into the kitchen to warm up a bottle of blood for himself and asking me if I wanted some wine. What gives, was I just feeling my own lust not his, I thought.

"Why don't you go take a shower sweetheart and then maybe we can watch a movie or just sleep a while before we have to pick up William for the night?" He was so cool and collected that I was sure I had felt my own desires not his.

"Um, yeah that sounds like a good idea. So just pick something and I'll be right back then," I tried to sound sure of myself but couldn't deny that a part of me was disappointed; the one thing I was sure about was that I was about to use up all the cold water in Bon Temps.

I finished my shower and went to our bedroom expecting to join Bill in the livingroom later; but I found him on our bed in downtime. My ego was on the floor as he didn't even flinch when I entered the room.

"Great we've turned into a regular human couple after they have kids..," I mumbled as I was pulling on my night gown. Before the gown had traveled past my waist line I was lifted by two strong arms and the gown was shred into pieces.

"Bill you know I hate it when you do that…" I tried to be mad at him but in that one swoop he had me feeling all tingly again and I was sure that the lust I felt earlier was as much his as it had been my own.

"Are you really sure you hate the way I do that or are you grieving the robe?" He asked coolly as he nuzzled my neck.

"Honey, I just thought that you didn't want me any…" Bill quieted me with a searing kiss that burned me to my core and left me breathless.

"My love I would always want you. I just was waiting for the appropriate time as I know doctors ask for humans to refrain from sex for a while after giving birth. I also wanted to be certain you wanted as much as I did. But if you are not certain we can wa…," this time I silenced Bill with my own kiss.

Bill set me down on the bed and the smile on his face only intensified my need for him, I tried to pull him to me but he apparently had plans of his own as he set himself over me and started to kiss every part of me.

"Are you doing ok Mrs. Compton? Do you want me to stop or should I continue?"

I couldn't help myself and stuck my tongue out at him as I smiled and shook my head no. Every nerve ending in my body begging for his touch.

"Oh but it isn't your tongue alone that I want my darling. I want to taste every part of you tonight." My heart started to beat a mile a second, for a moment I thought it was going to pop out of my chest.

"Lie back on the bed my darling and let me bury my face in you!" He threw my legs over his shoulders taking in my scent as I wrapped my fingers around his hair.

He rubbed his nose against my mound, and his tongue flicked out to part my wet folds and then he inhaled deeply. My body shuddered at the feel of his tongue and hot breath. He pushed his tongue deep into me, moving it from side to side, clamping his lips on me and sucking hard. I moaned, my back arched and my hips lifted themselves to meet his mouth as he wrapped his arms around my thighs, pulling me up into his eager mouth.

I felt myself building a climax my release building intensely as he moved his lips and tongue to my mons and sucked hard. He rubbed his chin against me as my juices ran down his face. He moaned lustfully into my folds, lapping me up with his tongue. He pulled away and dragged me and placed me on top of him as he begged me for his own release.

"Darling please, please."

I wrapped my mouth around his straining shaft and he rocked into me at the feel of my mouth closing around him. His shaft getting harder.

He moaned into me but his moans were muffled by my body on his face. He reached up and cupped my breasts, pinching my nipples hard as he continued to buck his waist into me. I felt him hit the back of my throat and Bill started to shake; I could feel his release threatening as I pushed him deeper into my mouth. One more push and Bill growled and his release took over as he moved his mouth to my thighs and bit down; my own climax taking me over.

"Oh shit honey I'm cumming again," I screamed out as Bill growled into my thigh. He licked furiously at my wound and returned his lips to my folds. He took in the taste of my orgasm and sucked me in harder as I shook over him; in a flash he had me sitting on his lap and then he entered me.

My body ached for him and rocked itself in unison with his; I met his every thrust and pushed myself further down on him. We groaned, growled and moaned into each other and as our new climaxes threatened to take over Bill hesitated on biting me again. I moved his mouth towards my breast and pushed him down into me, the moment he bit we met our simultaneous climaxes.

After we collapsed into each other and I fell asleep as Bill licked my wound closed. By the time I woke again, Bill had already cleaned me, dressed me and was preparing something in the kitchen. I opened my eyes and when I looked at the clock my heart leapt to my chest and my breasts felt like if they weighed a ton; Williams feeding time.

I ran to the kitchen to tell Bill we needed to go get William when I found him heating up a bottle for the baby. I froze almost in mid air at the hilarity of it all but then I saw the baby snuggled in his car seat. I wondered how long it had taken Bill to miss the baby and go get him from gran's house.

"Honey, why didn't you wake me, we could've gone to get him together," I said as I kissed the baby on his head, I could swear he gave me a little smile; well either that or he had gas.

"You looked so peaceful and I missed him so much that I didn't want to bother you." Bill smiled and brushed his lips against mine as I took William out of his seat.

Before we knew it the baby had pulled my breast out of my open nightgown and had latched himself to my breast and was sucking powerfully. Bill's and my eyes widened as we watched what little William was doing.

"Ow, Will slow down sweetie, ow, Bill?" I said as I felt the baby's pulls get stronger and realized he had latched on to the wound Bill had created. He wasn't just drinking milk; he was actually pulling at my blood.

"Bill, he's drinking my blood, he opened your wound. Honey what do I do? Do we let him or pull him?" I was starting to freak out; our son wasn't a vampire was he?

Thank God Claudine popped in as I was starting to feel weak.

"So what is going on that I've been sent back here cousin? Ooh I see..." she said as she took in the sight being played in front of her.

"Um, Bill grab on to Sookie and I'll take the baby," she pulled the baby from my breasts which took some doing as he did not want to let go. The moment she managed to pull him off, he started to cry, his little mouth stained with my blood.

"Well kids, I think we know what this little one is, don't we now." Claudine said as she played with the baby in her arms.

"You a wittle wittle vampy awent you scheety. U hum… yes you are." She smiled down at the baby and he immediately stopped crying; Bill and I on the other hand looked like we were deers caught in headlights.

"Claudine, how can this be?" Bill asked as he held me tightly.

"Well Bill, I think it is time you both had a conversation with Niall. I think it is time you both know exactly why Niall gifted you with this wittle precious one." Always cryptic Claudine gave us more questions than answers and I thought, here we go again.

Time to clear the air and put Niall in the hot seat. Bill and I needed answers and we needed them now. I took out my phone and dialed.

"Grandfather. Yes, could you come over for dinner tomorrow night? Yes, everything is fine; I hope you don't mind the short notice." I didn't want to give anything away before we got a chance to meet so I tried to keep our conversation brief and unemotional.

"Good, we'll see you then. Goodnight Grandfather."

I turned to Bill and said, "He'll be here tomorrow."
