That night, was the night of dreams for both Sookie and Eric. For Sookie she was in the garden. The garden was covered with roses and mixture of different species of flowers. Up ahead of her was the same beautiful mansion that she dreamt of before. With the pool and the same water fountain. She looked down and she was about eight months pregnant. She was in a long flowing chiffon dress with flowers in her hair. She rubbed her stomach and felt life being within her.

"Mama? Sookie looked and saw a toddler. A baby boy with blonde hair and the same icy clear blue eyes that Eric has. "Mama! he said again with an innocent smile.

Sookie knew that this was hers and Eric's son. But there was a couple of things missing. "Hey baby! Sookie said with a bright smile. Where's your brother?" For some reason Sookie knew there was another one.

Then she heard "Mama!" through the bushes.

Sookie looked through the bushes and saw another pair of icy blue eyes looking back at her. "I found you!" The other toddler squealed with delight and came out. For his mother had found him. Sookie looked at the both of them, well and behold they're identical twins and they were like clones of Eric especially when Eric lost his memories and was very child-like. They were all smiles and laughter.

"Where are my boys!" Eric shouted across the yard. Both boys screamed for joy "DADEE!" Eric vamp-speed and picked both of them up giving them a tight hug. They were laughing and Sookie felt pure happiness from her mate, the boys, and herself.

"How are you feeling lover?" he gave her a kiss while still holding the boys.

"I'm wonderful." Sookie said and looked at Eric. There was so much peace and happiness in him. Sookie knew he going to be a perfect father and husband. Funny how this is what he was running from when he was human. "I love you." she said to Eric.

"And I love you." he put the boys down so he can touch Sookie. "How's our daughter doing?" Eric asked as he rubbed her stomach.

"Strong as ever." That's all Sookie remembered in her dream, before she went into a deep sleep.

For Eric, it was almost the same experience. He saw his twin sons as well, except he saw them in their 20's and they were training to be great warriors. Both of them were very tall, almost the same height as he was. Including they looked so much like him. It was like he cloned himself, twice. The only thing he saw of that was Sookie was her nose and their genuine smiles. He was so proud of his sons for they were great fighters of both technique and the heart. They were young Vikings of today.

That's when Eric woke up. It was a wonderful dream, he hopes that is what is held in the future. He looks at Sookie and smells her scent and he notices that his mate's scent has changed, and something deep and primal in him moves. All of his senses become hyper alert around her. Just when he thought being over protective would be done when mating season was over, he was wrong. His instinct is telling him that he will have to keep all other vampires away from his wife because they will know too, just as soon as they catch the scent of her. Sookie smells like a pregnant female. He loved that scent, but what he loved even more was that Sookie was carrying his child. He was going to be a father! Tears of blood was starting to fall from Eric's eyes. He's afraid to say anything, but the knowledge sings in his soul like a valkyrie, and he wants desperately to grab her and spin her around while they jump for joy.

Then Sookie started to stir, for she felt Eric's excitement through the bond. As she woken up, she too has an instinct that there was something different, other than Eric's excitement. She woke up with the knowledge that she's pregnant. She didn't know how to explain it, she just knows. Sookie looked at Eric, who has a smile on his face and then she rubbed her abdomen as she used her fairy energy to feel what's inside. Sookie gasped with joy, she doesn't know the details but the energy just told her that there's life inside. Her eggs were fertilized. "Eric, I'm pregnant."

"I know lover, I can smell it." Eric smiled as Sookie jumped into his arms as she was crying with tears of joy. "How do you feel? Are you still in heat?"

Sookie stopped to observe what's going on with her body. "Um, I'm still horny, just not overbearingly so, like it was. Like my body did its mission and its accomplished. So it's satisfied completely and I'm happy. But I'm still part of the mating season just because it's in the air. So yes my husband, I still desire you for the whole two weeks. I just have more control now. Like my hormones don't run the show unless I let them."

Eric nodded in understanding and he looked at her abdomen and used his hand to rub it. "You're carrying my child, Sookie." Eric said in awe, he didn't expect a response. It was just a statement. "I had a dream about our children."

"So did I! Oh Eric I hope it's real! They were twin boys! I saw them as toddlers and they looked so much like you! They were so beautiful and they were happy. I was also pregnant with our daughter!" Eric was bewildered.

"Sookie, I dreamt of the twin boys too, except they were older like they were in their 20's."

"Really?! Did they look like you?" Sookie asked excitedly.

"I thought I was looking at myself in a double illusion." Eric smiled. "They were training Sookie, they are meant to be warriors! They are meant to rule, just like we are meant to rule." Eric was showing his pride and Sookie was feeling it in the bond so strongly.

"My god Eric there's so much we have to do." Sookie was starting to get excited and to panic.

Eric was seeing Sookie starting to stress, he knew that this was not good for her or the baby. "Sookie, you have to calm down. Stressing out is not good for the baby or babies. Now your number one priority is to take care our children, being a good mother. Part of being a good mother is to relax, so the baby or babies can relax too." Sookie stopped and took a deep breath to calm herself. "Okay lover, once again one step at a time you can do all of this. Right now we are still on our pre-honeymoon for the mating season, so don't think about your projects, the restaurant, the agency, or being queen. Okay, for the next two weeks we are relaxing, feeding, fucking, and loving." Sookie laughed at the last sentence. Eric continued "We are also going to celebrate our love and the gifts our love has created.

Sookie gave a heartwarming smile. Then she started to touch Eric in a sensual manner. There was seduction and a tiny bit of lust, but there was mostly love. "How about we celebrate in a way that has created our children."

Eric smiled lovingly and started to kiss her with all the love he can pour into the bond. The words children and babies are starting to bother him. He didn't want Sookie's hopes up for those twin boys they both saw in their dreams. "Lover, even though we both dreamt that we had twin boys, doesn't mean that it'll happen. I just don't want you to be disappointed."

"Eric I know that the egg was just fertilized only several hours ago, but I know we're going to have those twins. You told me to trust Freya and the outer body experiences we had with Godric. I'm doing it. I trust Freya is giving us those twins."

"You amaze me every day." Eric said as he kissed her gently. "Now let's continue celebrating." Eric continued kissing Sookie in a loving caress. He decided he was going to make love to her. Besides the fact that they were mostly feeling love instead of lust, but he was afraid of what rough sex can do to their soon to be children. He felt like every part of her was warmer and sweeter than it had ever been before. He ran his hands down her whole body. It wouldn't take much for him to think he was acting like a romantic sap, but somehow, knowing that this time it was permanent and official in a way it never had been, and it was the first in a way it never would be again, made it almost a religious experience for him.

Sookie could tell that he was moved and taking his time, so she didn't push, she just let him take it as slowly as he wanted and tried to memorize how every touch and every kiss felt, the way he did sometimes. She wanted to remember every moment of this too. "My lover," he whispered in her ear, as he rose up and reached down to guide himself into her. He kissed her deeply, keeping his tongue in her mouth as he slid into her. Sookie did a soft moan and wrapped her legs around him. They made love like it was a gentle art form. The moved together in sync and their hands touched every part of their mate as a silent way of saying I love you. He nuzzled her neck beginning to take stronger, deeper strokes as she responded by rising to meet him in perfect rhythm.

It was just them, a perfect union along with their children, a complete unit, whole unto themselves, and they were floating in white light, swirling around each other, unable to tell where one's release ended and the other's began, blooming into a bright hot spasm and then stillness in each other's arms, Sookie's panting the only sound they made. They clung to each other, and Sookie saw Eric wipe a bloody tear away from each eye as he was kissing her shoulders and neck. Both Eric and Sookie felt happiness, love and perfection. Total Bliss.
