Thank you for your lovely reviews from the same and new people! I'm also very happy that I keep getting favorites and followers. I actually got a chapter out, despite my exhaustion. I was reading what I've wrote so far. I'm giving myself a pat on the back for a wonderful story but...I didn't realize how many spelling mistakes I've made, including sentence structure. So I apologize for all of the mistakes. I know this is not an excuse, but this what happens when the brain thinks faster than the hands. So here's the next chapter. Enjoy!

Warning: This chapter contains some sexual graphics. If this offends you, don't read it.

Characters belong to Charlene Harris and Alan Ball.

2 weeks later...

Sookie feels like she needs to just sit and absorb. When she came home from that night of the meeting with the Authority, she felt like her whole world changed again. Granted she got the baby vampire agency deal, but now there was more that came with it. She's going to be the first fairy queen for vampires. Yet she still wants to run the charity, do the Viking bar business, and have a family with Eric. Her mind felt like it's going to explode. How will she be able to do this?

In the past two weeks Sookie written a detailed business plan for the agency. She called it the New Fangs Agency. She even started writing a business plan for her Viking restaurant. While she was doing this, Eric was busy with the construction crew for expanding Fangtasia and preparing himself for becoming King of Louisiana. Most of the time she's been tagging along, not wanting Eric out of her sight. Eric assured her that they'll find a way to do everything that they want to do, while being regents and possibly becoming a family soon. Right now Sookie feels like there's just no way. Right now she just sat at her kitchen table and stared into space, so her mind could quiet down. Too many thoughts...too much to do. Not to mention Eric and herself is still discovering their own powers and mating season is approaching. Sookie felt the stress and decided to let her head rest on the table. All Sookie wants right now is to be with Eric, nothing else. In fact she was feeling a little clingy to Eric, but she felt like that ever since these big changes in her life.

Eric came home early that night. He felt his mate's stress, even he had to admit that he's a little stressed out himself. However this is nothing, at least the tasks were pleasant. There's no war going on or some vampire ego bullshit trying to rule the world. Just many growing everyday opportunities that presented itself all at once. When he came through the door, he saw Sookie asleep at the kitchen table. Around the table was paperwork and plans for her new business ventures. There's even a book of rules and regulations of being a vampire queen. The Authority gave the book to her when she handed in her Agency business plan. Eric knew she'd make an amazing queen; between her love, compassion, and forgiveness, not to mention her fierce fighting spirit.

Eric bent down his knees for him to be eye-leveled with her face. "Sookie...lover?" he whispered gently to wake her up. He kissed her forehead gently.

Sookie's eyes opened slowly. She felt like she has been hit over by a train. Her thoughts weighed so heavily on her mind and shoulders. "Eric...I don't know if I could do this."

"Sookie, yes you can." He knew that this was self-doubt talking. Sookie never had this kind of responsibility yet and she was getting a ton of bricks of it. "We're going to have a team of people working for you to keep an eye on all of your business ventures. You'll also have another team of people to help you set up as queen... Sookie, my mate, you're going to be fine."

"There's also the wedding and the coronation." Sookie began to worry even more.

The Authority agreed to have Eric and Sookie have a wedding and a coronation within the next month. Eric thought that would be enough time for Sookie to be over her mating season and to look for a wedding dress for herself. Hopefully that if she becomes pregnant that her stomach will still be flat enough to fit in a lovely wedding dress.

"Lover, all you have to do is look for a wedding dress, that's it. The Authority is handling all of the wedding set-ups. All you have to do is tell them what you want." Eric had his forehead touching Sookie's and both closed their eyes to feel the calm of each other's presence. Their bond was so precious to them, they feel like how on earth did they live without it.

An unexpected knock came to the door. Sookie didn't want to get up, despite all she did was sit all day, she felt drained. Eric opened the door and there stood Niall. "I told you I'd be back before mating season."

"Good to see you Niall." Eric said as let the fairy king enter.

Niall walked over to Sookie, he can tell she's stressed out just by looking in her eyes. "So my granddaughter, I hear you're going to be the first fairy queen for vampires! Well congratulations my dear, and congratulations to you too Viking!" Eric nodded.

"How did you find out?" Sookie asked tiredly.

"Darling, I know everything, and when something is a secret, it doesn't stay secret for long. You don't sound thrilled."

"I'm happy that Eric got his promotion in vampire politics. I just feel like I can't keep up with everything that I want to do."

"Darling," Niall started by having his hand cover hers. "When there's a will there's a way. For supernatural's, when there's a will, we can do multiple ways." Niall chuckled. Sookie gave a small smile. "Don't worry so much my darling, Eric can teach you how to do everything. All you need is a team of people who work only for you. Am I right Eric?"

"I just told her that several minutes ago." Eric responded.

"Well I'm here because something tells me that you have more questions, sense mating season is on its way. This would be my last night seeing you until mating season is over."

"You're not going to be here for that?" Sookie asked in concern.

"Darling, mating season is a wonderful experience to enjoy. It's also a dangerous time for any other male who isn't that fairy's mate to interfere or simply be around. Although the female is the one in heat, but the male would automatically be very hostile to any male interference. Knowing you're Viking, he's possessive to begin with." Eric wanted to growl for the assumption, but the old man was right. With Sookie being in heat and ready for reproduction, any male is considered a threat, no matter how friendly they are. It's was hard enough when Sookie is just being friendly to any other male that isn't him.

"If I become pregnant, how long will the pregnancy last?"

"Yours is a different circumstance, because you're mating with a vampire. This will also be the first time children will probably be born half vampire. So in a estimated guess, maybe five months? Give or take."

"That's quick! I hope my body will be able to stand the changes."

"That's why we have Dr. Ludwig."

"After our honeymoon is over, we will be moving to a new place to live that the Authority has set up for us. Including there would be a wedding and a coronation. " Eric informed Niall, just in case the news didn't yet.

"Yes, I know. Everything's moving so quick in motion aren't they?" Niall noticed. "Well the night of Beltane is tomorrow night, there will be a fairy celebration in the middle of the woods. Sookie, would you like to go?"

"What about Eric?"

"It's best if he didn't come, just because there's going to be many fairies there from different blood lines. They don't know Eric well like I do, he'll scare them off."

Sookie wasn't going anywhere without Eric by her side. Her intuition was screaming at her for it. "Then I won't go. I won't go to any celebration without Eric. Besides didn't you say that mating season is at the night of Beltane?"

"No, I said mating season is around the night of Beltane. The holiday is pretty much like a marker as to when the possibility of it starting."

"So it's possible for me to starting mating tomorrow night?" Sookie was starting to become more alert when comes to timing.

"I doubt it Sookie but,...yes it's possible." Niall looked at her doubt.

"Don't forget Niall, I'm a hundred percent fae. Maybe I'll start earlier than the others."

Niall was amazed at her prediction and Eric looked at her in awe. 'She's using her fae instincts, the instincts that tell her intuition when something special or important is approaching.' Eric thought.

"Yes my dear, anything is possible...especially now that you're a hundred percent fae."

"Then it dangerous for me to go. My instinct right now is telling me to stay close to Eric. I just know, I need to stay with him at all cost."

"Then my dear, you follow that instinct. It' s very important. Well I have to get going, I've been researching an old parchment that might have something to deal with the two of you." Sookie and Eric looked at him with concern. "But I'm not sure yet, I'll let you know when I know something solid."

"Do want me to make you dinner Niall?" Despite her becoming queen soon, she still feels like she needs to be a good hostess.

"No, it's okay my dear. With your instinct telling you to stay close to Eric, that means you're going to be in heat very soon. That means I must take my leave now."

"How will I know that I'm in heat Niall?"

"Trust me Sookie, you're body will know on its own." With that Niall left with a hurry. Like if he didn't get out of there, there would be trouble for him.

Sookie looked at Eric with confusion on her face. "That was odd."

"Yes, it was. At the same time...no." Eric got the hint Niall was making. How many times when a supernatural being's instincts kick in, the result happens around the corner. "Sookie how long have you been feeling to stay close to me as possible?"

"Since our transformation, but I've been really clingy to you since..."

"After the meeting with the Authority?" Even though Eric said it as question, but it came out more as a confirmation.

"Yeah, may be a little." Sookie said with uncertainty.

Eric looked back within the past two weeks of Sookie's behavior. She was being extra clingy. Everywhere he went, she went. The only reason why she stayed at home tonight was because she had to get some paperwork done. Including Pam noticed Sookie's attitude change. Like she couldn't live without him near. Sookie I think we should prepare for mating season. I mean right now!" Eric felt the sense of urgency. If there's one thing that never fails when it comes to supernatural beings and that is trust the instincts. They are always right. He thought if they moved now, Sookie and himself can go to a private island for their mating season in time. He vamp-speed up to their bedroom and started packing his and Sookie's things.

"Eric!" Sookie ran up the stairs quickly to catch up, and she saw him packing. "Eric what are you doing?"

"Packing for us to go to our pre-honeymoon."

"What's the rush?"

"Sookie, you've got to learn to trust your instincts, if they're telling you to stay close to me...that means it's coming Sookie. You're going to be in heat soon. So help me get ready, so we can go." Eric continued to pack.

"Okay, I just got to grab the paperwork from the kitchen." Sookie went back downstairs. She went into the kitchen to and grabbed all the papers into a pile. Then she started to feel weird. She was beginning to feel...hot. At first she thought it was the fast pace of her coming down the stairs. Then her clothes were starting to feel tight, like she wanted to shed them off because they were suffocating her. Well she instantly took her sweater off, and felt a little better. Her body was still feeling hot and a little dizzy. She was starting to lose her focus and started to hang on to the edge of the wall.

Then she heard Eric's voice calling out to her from upstairs. "Sookie! Come on lover, we've got get going!" His smooth voice was like a siren calling her and made feel aroused. Her panties was starting to soak and her body's temperature was a little bit on the fever side. Her breasts felt a little sensitive and when she caressed herself...it felt so good. Her body was full sexual urges. The last logic piece of her brain, was telling her she's in heat. It has begun. Mating season has come for her. She laid against the wall and started touching herself through her panties, she never felt so aroused by listening to her mate's voice. She felt like rubbing herself was not enough, she ripped her offending fabric almost like Eric does and tossed it aside. She then started penetrating herself with her fingers and started to moan.

Eric was hearing the moans and feeling major sexual arousal through the bond. "Oh no." he thought. He might be too late. He vamp-speed downstairs and there he saw Sookie pleasuring herself as she's lying against the wall. Eric's fangs slid out fast and his erection was ever present for the sight to behold. Seeing Sookie in masturbating between the kitchen and the living room. Seeing her fingers move in and out of her pussy. He could smell and see her juices glistening. Eric's male dominance had awoken. He feels the animal lust and protection taking over his vampire nature. Sookie saw him and she was more aroused. Her body was instantly telling her that not only there's a male in the room to mate with, but it's her mate. Eric went to her cautiously, not sure exactly what to do. Sookie instantly jumped him and started kissing him feverishly. She even grinded her hips to his erection giving her some kind of satisfaction of friction.

"Mmmm, Eric I need you now." she said as she kept kissing him while moving against him.

Eric used all of his strength to remain focused "Okay lover, it's going to be okay. Change of plans, were obviously going to have our mating season here. But lover I need to separate from you just a moment..."

"No!" Sookie held on to him tighter.

"Lover, I need to secure the house, making sure no one will come inside, okay?" Eric knew that Sookie was gone, she's delirious with arousal. No wonder Niall said condoms wouldn't work because she wouldn't care. He was right. All Sookie wants is Eric inside of her. She even started to unbutton his jeans.

"Please Eric!" Sookie moaned in frustration. "I need you so bad, it feels awful that you're not inside me!" Sookie looked at him with tears in her eyes.

"I know lover." Eric quickly gave her a kiss. "Just keep pleasuring yourself, imagine that it's me and I'll lock and secure the doors to the house. Then I'm all yours."

Eric vamp-speed throughout the house locking anything to make the house secure. He was even moving furniture to block the doors.

"Hurry Eric." Sookie moaned as she penetrated herself even more and rubbing her clit. Imagining it's Eric's cock penetrating her. How long will she be able to stand this? Not having him inside of her is making her upset. Then a knock came to the door.

"Sookeh, can we talk for a moment?" It was Bill as he shouted through on the other side of the front door. The door that hasn't been locked or blocked.

If Sookie was in her right frame of mind, she'd see him as the ex-boyfriend who she wants nothing to do with. Now in her mating season, she's looking at him as another male to mate from...she stopped for a moment and started to open the door...
