TUESDAY AFTERNOONE

EPOV

I have been on the phone non stop since I awoke. I want this night to be perfect. I hang up as I hear a knock at the door as Alc enters he says

" I left Sook with the women in the kitchen. They were looking at magazines about baby stuff. You got everything ready yet. You need any help."

I smile raising my eyebrow while I say

" No, I have already ordered the flowers, lights and hired the catering co., they will be here in an hour to start setting up by the pool. And out back. The gazebo is being built as we speak.

All will be ready by 7. The chef is already upstairs baking the ring into the cake. Are you sure she will like this."

I personally think it is a tad bit overkill. But this will only happen once, so might as well make all her dreams come true. As Alc starts,

" Yea she'll love it. It's cheesy and a little juvenile but she deserves to feel like a princess. She'll think it is very romantic. It was how she would always pretend that her boyfriend would propose to her when she was little."

Then we shall make her dreams a reality. I get up as I tell him,

" Do you know I had to call around to a dozen stables to find 2 white horses. The black stallion was no problem.

Your friend with the dress shop is sending the gown over that we decided on. It should be here shortly. I contacted the jeweler and her jewelery will arrive about the same time.

When I told the caterer what I needed and wanted done outside for tonight. She asked if this was a themed party or a costume event.

Once I explained what was happening. She was thrilled to be of help and even offered a few suggestions. I told her to as long as it coincided with what we had planned to go ahead.

Everyone will be back to the house and in the tent, ready for the ball at 10:00 pm.

The hairstylist/makeup artist, Kim I think is her name, the one that Janice recommended will be here at 5:00pm to help Sookie get ready. Was there anything I left out. Or anything else you can think of we need to do."

I am trying to think when Alc asks

" What about the carriage "

That was it. So I say,

" The stables had one for rent. They will also provide a driver. It's being delivered with the horses. So lets go over it all one last time.

Godric will give her the jewelery. Kim will lead her out to the carriage promptly at 7:00pm. As the carriage is underway we will ride up along side her until we reach the gazebo. By then I think she'll have a good idea of what's going on."

As Alc adds,

" Instead of the driver helping her out of the carriage. I think it should be us. One on either side of the door. The food should already be there right."

I nod yes as he continues.

"As we seat her between us. I think we should propose right then before we eat. I don't know if I will be able to eat other wise.

My nerves are already getting the better of me. I think waiting will be to hard on all our nerves and she doesn't need the added stress."

I didn't think of the added stress so I say,

"Agreed. I had simple bands made so that we will have rings to exchange with each other. They call them ring guards I think. This one is yours to give and this one is yours. "

I look at him as he says

" thank you I hadn't thought of a ring exchange. But there beautiful. She'll love them. Did you get one for yourself to match ours."

I watch Alc pocket her ring and take out his ring slipping it on his left ring finger as I mimic his actions I say.

" Yes I did. And they will look perfect with what Godric has made. We will present these rings at that time. Or well after she says yes.

There is a ceremony that Godric has experience in preforming. In which we can be all united to each other. I will explain more at dinner.

Then after dinner I will have the cake delivered with her engagement ring slice delivered to her. The carriage will return for us at 9:50 so that we can take her to the ball and be there by 10:00 when everyone will be waiting for her.

The ball is not just for Sookie though. With Jason proposing tonight also I thought it nice to include their engagement too.

Since Janice and Pam don't know that this is also their engagement party I hope it will be a surprise for all three of them.

I hope with all the hormones flying around everything goes off with out a hitch."

As Alc agrees

" Definitely. I would like to have my future wife , your future pledged , as us all wed, and all of us bonded, Fairy mated by the time the coronation.

I am not sure why but I would feel better if there was no room left for doubt by then.

I think you just about covered everything except for our clothes. I got us both tuxes to wear for tonight. All in white of course.

I know I said white suits would work, but I thought that it being the only time we'll do this might as well do it in style.

They should be delivered at 4:00pm. Do you know what your going to say to her. I have even written down what I want to say to her. See what you think Eric."

Tuesday afternoon

SPOV

I love all my friends I do. But I just can't get into shopping for baby stuff right now. I am still reeling over the fact that I'm pregnant. And with Alc's and Eric's babies no less. Especially when I never thought I would have anyone that special in my life.

I am truly happy that I found them. But there was a time that I came so close to offering my self to Alc just to see if I could be with him that way.

I mean I have loved him for a long long long time. He was always there for me when I needed him no matter what. He is my best friend.

Of course now, I think there might be a reason why I never got around to it.

I can't help but wonder what it'll be like raising all those children that is if his dream is close to being accurate. I don't know whether I am excited or worried about that.

I know we have all our friends to help, but at some point in life, they will go off and have their own family's.

I'm drawn out of my thoughts as I hear Janice say.

" Hey are you even listening to me."

I shake my head no as she starts again smiling.

" As I was saying. Jason had a premonition of sorts. He said that tonight will change all our lives forever. It'll be a good change.

I know you got a date with the boys tonight. And Jason said we were going out to eat then to a party after wards.

But he wouldn't give any other clues. I mean do you know{ points to her temple} anything that we should know about.

I told Jason that surprising a pregnant woman wasn't a good idea. But you know him.{ rolls her eyes } He just said we would love it."

I am about to answer her as Ames jumps in.

" Well I know that the party is for some very important vampires and other vips. It was very last minute and very hush hush.

I offered to help with the planning but Eric said it was all taken care of. Though I don't think so. He's been cooped up and on the phone and internet all day. After all I love to plan party's and such. You would think that he would want..."

As Claudine chimes in while looking over the hordes of magazines

" Oh yes. I love to plan party's too. Speaking of party's. Are we going to throw one huge baby shower for all 3 of you. Or would you each like to have your own shower.

If what Dr. Ludwig says is true then you all will pop in about 4 months. And these will be a busy 4 months. The holidays are coming up. Shopping for babies and Christmas. Y'all's first Halloween Thanksgiving, and Christmas together.

Not to mention the coronation and ball that will follow. That's less than a month away. There is so much to do and not enough time to do it all properly. Hey did you all realize that the babies will all be here just before Christmas?"

Good gravy I didn't realize it was getting into the busiest season of the year. I wonder if I'll have time to help out at Merlottes before I'm to big to fit through the door.

I know after they all arrive I won't have the time or the energy to work outside the home. As I hear Fran ask,

" Wow. I mean just wow. I didn't realize. Do vampires even celebrate Christmas?"

Good question. I would hate to think I would have to give up my favorite time of the year. As well as all my favorite holidays. I listen as Pam answers

" It all depends on the monarch in that kingdom. Our former Queen used any excuse to through a party at the palace.

She threw more parties than I think any monarch has ever thrown. She even had an annual Ground hogs ball. {rolling her eyes}

Eric absolutely detested going to her parties. While she could throw money away like no ones business. She had no taste and threw the worst parties ever in the history of throwing parties. Of course no one ever dared to tell her that.

While Godric and Eric are much older than the actual holiday called Christmas. It is one of the few that they do celebrate.

Halloween is also a very important holiday to all supes alike. And while we observe other holidays like New Years. Christmas is a popular one among vampires. Dear Abby says..."

Geez Louise the attention span in this room could be measured in seconds. I'm getting dizzy at all the topic changes.

As I listen to them discuss party's and upcoming events. There is one event I would like to take place before the babies are born.

Call me old fashioned all you want but I wish that we could be married in some way before our babies are born.

I don't even care if the ceremony is just in front of our friends and it is not recognized by the state as legal. I don't care. I hear Ames asking me a question when I notice that I'm crying Dang hormones. She repeats,

" Hey there what has you so upset that your crying for. Tell us honey you know it'll make you feel better to get it off your chest."

I wipe my tears as I sigh and say,

" I don't want to be an unwed mother. I know it's stupid and so 1950s but I can't help it. I wish we would be able to get married.

Ya know. All 3 of us. I mean I know it isn't legal or anything. But it doesn't have to be as long as we stand up in front of y'all and God then I think that would be good enough. "

I'm full on crying as I look at Janice and Pam as their bawling too. As Ames and Fran are consoling them Claudine hugs me and says,

" That's a wonderful idea Sookie. We could do it right here with Godric and maybe Niall. I could talk to Niall and see if he would. Then they could officiate a ceremony.

You know there's a pledging ceremony that Vampires have to bind mates together forever as well as a fae ritual that bonds mates together though not necessary for an eternity.

I am not to familiar with the vampire pledging but a fae ritual mating is often for multiple mates. As our race has fertility problems the fertile women often take on multiple mates. As it increases our chances."

I sigh wiping away more tears as I sniffle out,

" That's all well and good but they haven't exactly asked me yet. I mean they might not ever ask me or even think of those things."

I hear Ames say.

" So who say's that they have to do the asking Sook. I mean sure it's traditional and all. But what about the 3 of y'all is traditional anyway?

Why can't you ask them to mate pledge or marry you. You don't have to wait around for it to occur. Hey y'all are going out or having a private whatever tonight. How about you ask them you know after you eat. And just before dessert."

I want to be asked though so I whine out

" But I wouldn't even know what to say. I mean I have been told it will be formal so I mean I couldn't go down on one knee or nothing. Who would I even ask first. What would I say."

They all start in with suggestions. As we discuss what I could say even how to approach the subject. I notice Godric come in with a woman that I think I recognize as he says,

" Hello ladies. I hope I am not interrupting anything of importance. As it is almost 4:00 and I believe we all have things to do tonight yes.

And we all have to get ready for the party later tonight. Sookie my dear. This lady is here per my child's request to help you to get ready for tonight. Your dress has already been placed in your room. I will take my leave of you ladies if you do not need me any further."

Ames chirps

" Godric can we ask you a couple of questions?"

He chuckles as he smiles saying

" Yes you have my undivided attention."

Ames continues,

" We were talking and Sookie would like to be joined with her mates. You know married or similar. But they haven't asked her and we told her to ask them but she doesn't know how to broach the subject. We think she should propose to them tonight.

Maybe as dessert is being served. There was suggestions that she ask them both the guys at the same time. To be both a pledging and have a Fae mating ritual. What do you think?"

" Well I think that is a wonderful idea. I am sure they would be very receptive. Although they are already mated by the fates and their souls are as one now.

I understand the concept of wanting something that you can see and remember. A story to tell to your future children so to speak.

As to asking that is up to you little one. But I agree, asking them both at the same time will insure they know that in your eyes, you hold your love for them both equally.

As to when I do think it is up to you but I do agree the end of a meal would seem a better choice. I believe that is a more common practice these days, yes.

As they will be both relaxed and full more receptive. You know the old saying does hold some truth. 'a way to a mans heart is through his stomach' .

It originally was told, 'a man full of food and drink is more agreeable to ask of things than a man starving and or dying of thirst.'

Sookie, my dear I wish you luck in you quest tonight. I know as long as your honest in your thoughts and feelings. With the right words you will get what you most desire.

Now as we are now running behind you all need to retreat to your rooms to ready yourselves. I will see you all later."

And with that last word he was gone. I watch Janice as she hugs um I know I know her they used to work together. As Janice's leads her to me she says,

" Hey Sook you remember Kim. We worked together when I was married to Dale. They moved here a couple of months ago and Eric wanted you to have help this evening."

Kim yea she did a great job on my hair that day I visited with Alc, as I say

" Yes hi how are you?"

Kim responds

" Oh I'm great. I understand I'm to help you with your hair, make up and your dress. We need to get started we have a little less than 3 hours to do this."

Dang the day has just slipped away as I tell her and the other girls

" Great. I'll see y'all later. Just follow me Kim. My room is up stairs"

We are silent as we walk to my room. Upon entering she says to shower as she sets up. So I grab my robe and bag that says undergarments on the note attached.

I don't know which one did this but it seems that they thought of everything. I quickly shower and shave.

I leave the towel on my hair as I open the bag there's a pair of white silk bikini panties and a beautiful white strapless bustier .

I think Alc must have had some input as he knows I won't wear a strapless bra ever again after the wardrobe malfunction at the homecoming dance. When I bent over to pick up my corsage and my boob fell out.

I was so embarrassed. But he assured me that no one saw anything and when I checked I saw he was mostly right. All except for Mr Jameson the football coach and Quinn's uncle.

But they didn't have any nasty thoughts at all which made me feel better.

I can't get all the hooks done so I go out and ask Kim for help. I'm so glad they thought ahead. I would have hated to try to find someone to help me now with everybody getting ready to go out tonight.

As she dries my hair out I see the gown for the first time. It is simply to beautiful for words. It is a scoop neck off the shoulders to show the girls off.

Boy I swear I think they've already started to get bigger. God if they get to much bigger I'll be hunched over all the time.

The dress is a shimmery white form fitted dress to show all my curves with long sleeves that flare at the wrist. Just at about the bottom of my hips the flares with what looks like off white cascading fabric it almost looks like feathers the way the fabric lays going all the way to my feet.

I feel just like a princess . I am starting to get excited about asking them to marry me in the way of a vampire and fae.

I feel the butterfly's start as she does my makeup. I try to think of how I want to word it.

' Alc Eric I have a question for you both. I love you both and well I want us to pledge and Fae mate.' Now that sounds so stupid. Um

' Lets see guys I have a question for you both but please don't say anything before I finish. I love you both and I know that our souls are as one for eternity and we are mated by the fates.

But I want something that we do in front of our friends. So when our kids ask what was our wedding day like we will have an answer. I know its illegal to marry you both as its also illegal to marry a vampire.

But I know that we could still have a ceremony of sorts.'

Christ on a cracker why is this so hard. Maybe I should just blurt it out

' I love you guys and I want to mate with you both by Fae ritual and vampire pledging.'

Oh Jesus Mary and Joseph maybe a mixture of all the best parts. I don't see how anyone ever get proposed to. It is absolutely nerve wracking.

I've been so wrapped up in my thoughts that I don't realize that Kim's finished with me an is waiting for me to step in to the dress.

I drop the robe as I stand. I carefully step into it as she lets me steady myself on her shoulder. As she brings it up zipping me up. I slip my arms in the sleeves.

I feel so beautiful. I know everything will be just fine. I hear her say.

" My oh my. You look like a runway model. That dress was made just for you. Their not gonna be able to take there eyes off of you.

It's time to go. Are you ready. I'll help you get down stairs."

I take a look in the mirror for the first time to see my hair is half swept up leaving it long and curls in the back. My make up is very natural looking only accenting my eyes to match the glimmer in my dress.

As I slip the heels on I take one final look in the mirror the woman looking back looks like a super model or a beauty Queen, and I realize that's exactly how I feel.

I can't even wipe the smile off my face no matter what. As we descend down the stairs I see Godric at the bottom holding something. He say's,

" Little one you are truly a vision. Here, I was asked to give you the final touches to your outfit. Though they pale in comparison to your beauty."

He opens a blue box with a pearl drop diamond inside a solid gold heart necklace . And matching earrings. As Kim puts in my earrings. Godric takes the necklace. Placing it around my neck .i lift my hair. As he says

" Allow me, They are lucky to already be mated to you. Going out looking so beautiful will incite others to want you as their own.

Now relax my dear and have a good time."

He takes my hand and helps me onto the elevator . Kim and Godric help me out the door to the garage. When I looked up I gasped out. In front of me stands a beautiful black horse pulling a gorgeous carriage.

I mean right out of the fairy tales Carriage. Godric assists me into the carriage. But I don't see Eric or Alc anywhere. As if he read my mind he smiles as he says.

" You will see them soon. Good evening Sookie."

As he the door closed I watched him take flight. Kim waved at me as I waved back as the carriage starts to move.

As it circled around the drive I got my first glimpse of the house. Mansion would be a better term. It looked like a cross between a southern plantation style house and the White house.

There was at least 4 story's top side. As the carriage goes around back I can't keep from gaping at the back side of the house.

More of a modern look to it, with mostly glass everywhere you see on the first floor, with balcony's dotting the remaining 3 floors.

The pool area is completely lit up with hundreds of fairy lights. The waterfall at the end of the pool is just breathtaking.

I am practically hanging out the window as I am looking around. The grounds look very well maintained and the lights just give it that romantic feel.

Just as we pass the water fountain with the colored lights. I hear horses coming towards the carriage. I look out the opposite side of the carriage by more fountains when I see to beautiful white horses galloping towards me.

As they get closer I see Eric on one and Alc on the other horse. Both looking absolutely gorgeous in white tuxes.

Oh my gosh. I feel the tears stinging my eyes as I fight to keep them at bay as I realize this is a fantasy of mine.

My Alc. And Eric God I love them I can't believe Alc remembered my childhood dreams. Much less they would recreate them just for me. Its all so perfect. So romantic and breathtaking. I hadn't thought about this in years.

As they ride up one on each side of the carriage. I see beyond the statues and gardens a gazebo. Beautifully lit up, I notice the ground around it covered in flower petals of all kinds.

As we pull up to the the entrance I see the walkway going to the gazebo lined with Rose bushes, of every color imaginable.

I watch as they dismount their horses. They are just so beautiful. I know you aren't supposed to say men are beautiful, but my men are. And they are all mine.

As Eric opens the door both he and Alc offer their hands to me helping me out. As I exit the carriage I see all the taper candles flickering in the gazebo. There is a table centered with 3 chairs.

I can hear soft music playing in the background. Before I can take my first step Alc wraps his free arm around my waist still holding my hand with his other he brushes his lips against my cheek as he says.

"My God you take my breath away. A Goddess. My princess. "

He squeezes my hand gently as Eric does the same before he says

" He is right. You do look like a Goddess Min Angel " { my angel}

Eric leans in kissing my temple. I sigh I just know I'm blushing as I say.

" This is,,, I mean . I well thank you for this. I love you both so much. You both look absolutely gorgeous in your white tuxes. You have made me feel like a real princess."

I squeeze both their hands as we walk to the gazebo they release my hands as I raise the dress enough to step up Eric lifts me by my waist to the top step. I giggle out as he says.

" I hope this comes close to your dreams and more my lover."

I smile as I shake my head yes. I am too afraid to speak even blink. Afraid I'll wake to this only being a dream.

As I sit down. They shock me as they both drop to one knee. OH MY GOD. I feel the tears start again as Alc starts.

" Please we would like to say something before we start with our dinner. You are the only one that has ever evoked these feelings that I have inside me. My love I never felt this way before.

I owe everything to you. You light up anyplace you enter. I have always felt something different for you. I have always known you were special.

You are my life, my reason for being. You are giving us something no one else would ever be able to give me or Eric. Our children. You know how that effected me.

You are my rock. And now because of you, I get to have forever with the ones that I love. And the eternity to love them in.

I love you more with each breath I take. I want you to be mine in every way possible forever. As I am already yours forever.

I want you to be my friend , my lover, my life, but most of all marry me, be my mate with us in a Fae mating ritual. Allow us to give you your hearts desire as you have for us. "

I am crying hard now, I am so beyond happy I see Alc pull a box out of his jacket as Eric says while holding his own box.

"Min Alskare,{ My Lover} you are the first woman I have ever loved in my long life. Human or other wise. I have never loved any other the way I love you.

You have awoken emotions in me that I thought were long since dead. I want your body and soul, your light, but most of all I want you just as you are.

Your love is more than I deserve and I hope to receive it everyday for an eternity. But all I have to offer is myself, my body, my soul, my love, and my undying devotion to you for an eternity. That is if you'll have me.

Will you pledge to me in a vampire ceremony as well as declare us as your mates in a Fae mating ritual. What do you say my lover."

I am shaking like a leaf as I say

" Yes yes to both of you yes. I love you both so much. "

I hug them both as tight as I can. I kiss them each pouring all my love for them in my kiss. As I sit back wiping the tears and smiling, Eric takes my hand first as he slides his ring on kissing it as he releases my hand to Alc.

I notice that they are already wearing matching rings. I look on as Alc slides his ring up to meet Eric's as they intertwine matching up perfect as he kisses my rings too.

Never letting go of my hands. They both sit as Alc pours us all some sparkling grape juice in champagne flutes. Eric starts

" I know that I can not marry you in a human ceremony. At least not now. Alc and I had a long talk. And while he can give you a human ceremony,

I want us all to blood bond to each other as well as pledge myself to you. As you are part Fae there is a Fae mating ritual. It is similar to an ancient ceremony that I want to marry you both in.

It is where the Wicca ceremony as well as modern day wedding ceremony's all get there basic forms from.

Long ago when supe's were all still living out in the open. It was quite common for people to take on more than on mate.

It is called polygamy. It comes from late Greek poly s gamos roughly translated means often married.

But it can be traced back to the 7th century I believe. This is a marriage that consists of more than 2 partners. Be it 2 men and 1 women or 1 man and 2 women.

I want to marry you both in this fashion. Godric has studied with Buddhists as well as other religions and has in the past preformed the ceremony.

There is some Mormon's that practice polygyny. This is when a man has multiple wives but there is no marriage vows or marriage contracts between the wives. The husband may have a dozen wives but each wife only has one husband.

As I said we both want this with you. You have accepted us as your bonded, pledged, mate. Will you please become Mrs. Herveaux-Northmen?"

I smile as I giggle out

" Of course I will this is what I have wanted."

I am laughing now as I try to rein it in as their both looking at me like I finally lost it, I giggle out

"I'm sorry. It's just that earlier I was talking to the girls and I told them that I wanted us to be married before the babies come.

And well they had suggested that I ask you both to marry me after dinner. That's why I was laughing. I have been trying to think of a way to ask you both since I started getting ready."

Alc laughs as Eric raises his lick able eyebrow saying

" And what did you come up with lover."

I squeeze their hands trying not to tear up again as I reply

" Nothing as remotely beautiful or romantic as what you both said and have done. As well as I wasn't looking forward to my nerves through out dinner.

Every thing is perfect. I thank you for making this so special and I love my rings. They match both of y'all s right?"

Alc wipes my tears as he accepts our salads. I hadn't even noticed anyone approach. I dig in as I'm starving again, as Alc says

" Yes. They all match. Eric gave me my promise ring when he gave me your promise ring to present to you.

We were thinking that with all that is coming up it would be best to do all the ceremony's at the same time.

Keep it intimate. With only a few close friend and colleagues. We only need to mutually exchange of blood once more and the third time can be during the ceremony.

I as well as Eric think that we should have it before the coronation, of you and Eric as King and Queen of Louisiana and Mississippi.

Now I know it's a short amount of time but we think it can be done. The Coronation is on the 30th of October. It will solidify him as King.

Where as you will be announced as his wife and pledged bonded mate. Instead of the future wife, pledge bonded mate of the King.

We were thinking perhaps the 25th. It will give us a couple of days for a honeymoon? What do you think. Tinker bug."

I am getting so excited. As our prime rib and lobster dinner with cheese mashed potato's and mixed vegetables. I smile at the waiter as I accept my plate. I look at Alc and Eric as I say

" Well that's fine by me. Today is September 30th . Everyone that I would want there with the exception of Gran and Granpa live with us.

So all we would need is a minister and Eric said Godric can do that. Claudine said Niall could do the Fae ceremony. And someone to handle the Pledging right."

I start eating as Eric answers

" You are right lover. I believe that the ancient one wants to attend to the Pledging. As I am sure Godric is still ordained by the Church of the free Spirit. Don't ask Godric about it as it was a long story. In the 80's I think. So he can also minister the human part of the ceremony.

All you and Alc will need to do is attain a marriage licensee from the county courthouse. I believe that takes 24 hours.

All you need to do is find a dress lover. Everything else Alc and I will handle."

I put my fork down as I level a stare at Mr highhanded I simply say,

" No."

You heard me buster. He must realize I am mad because he gives me the best excuse in the world. As he says.

" No? But lover I just don't want you stressed out. It is not good for you or the babies. Please allow us to take care of this for you as you preform a miracle.

There is only so much that we can do for you as we can not carry the babies for you. So please allow us to bear the brunt of any planning if not all of it."

He must have already learned Alc's puppy dog eyes. I can't resist them. Either way I love that they want to make it easy on me. I smile as I say

" Fine you win. On three conditions. one. We move the date to the 18th., so we can have a longer honeymoon.

two. You will let me know what is planned ahead of time. It is my wedding day too.

Three. If you aren't sure ask me or at least ask one of the girls for assistance.

Both Ames and Claudine love to plan things and Alc you know how detail oriented Ames is. Have you tasted the prime rib yet.

I normally don't like it this rare or bloody but it is delicious. Do you think I could have more."

Alc laughs that a hole, as poor Eric just looks confused when Alc explains.

"Tinker bug if you want we'll check. I can't believe you are eating it all. This is very rare. Hell. You always bitched and moaned that I cooked meats to rare.

You even said once that you heard my steak still mooing it was so rare. I tell you Eric man your lucky. Shit.

Before she got pregnant, she wouldn't have touched that prime rib with a 10 foot pole. Even though we both know the bloodier and rarer the meat the better."

Ugh men all the same. They all like their meat bloody and rare. If it wouldn't ruin the night further, I'd give Alc a piece of my mind. That jerk. He has ruined my perfect fairytale proposal. Eric and Alc must have noticed my change in attitude as Alc says.

" I'm sorry Tinker bug. Don't be mad. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. Will you forgive me. Aw tinker bug please don't cry again."

Doggone hormones. I wipe my eyes as I get up and hug Alc. I look at Eric as I say

" All is forgiven. After all it's both y'all s fault. Your babies are why I am craving meat this way. I have no control over this. So you be nice now.

You mister need to learn to watch your language. The babies will be here in no time. And I won't put up with foul language being spoken in front of our babies."

Eric smiles as he says

"But lover what of your brother. He curses far more than I have ever heard Alc curse."

I give him my best impression of his smirk as I say

" I plan on doing like I always do smack him upside the head until the babies come. If he hasn't caught on by then. Well lets say he'll regret each and every curse word."

As I start eating again I see the waiter bring me another slice of meat. I thank him as we all finish eating in silence.

I look around they did such a beautiful job. Just the right amount of flowers with a smell to smell inviting not overpowering.

I can't wait to see what they plan for our wedding day. It is bound to be special.

I see dessert sitting waiting to be served as I motion to the waiter to bring me my carrot cake with cream cheese icing.

I take my first bite Mm mm this cake is absolutely divine. As I take my 5th or 6th bite. I bite down on some thing hard. I roll it around. A ring.

Those two. I notice them watching me. They must be waiting for me to bite into what feels like an engagement ring.

I'm gonna mess with them a little. I finish off my cake as I carefully palm the ring in my napkin as I wipe my mouth. I say.

" Mm. My complements to the chef. That was as good as my Grans carrot cake. Are y'all about done now. Thank you both for dinner.

I thought maybe we could dance to the music playing if that's alright."

I look from one to the other as a look of panic takes over their features. As Eric asks for the remainder of the cake to be brought out.

Alc looks like he wants to jump down my throat to retrieve the ring. I smile real wide showing all my teeth as I start.

" Where do y'all want to go on our honey moon?"

Eric is still distracted watching for the waiter as he answers

" I have a house on a private island in Barbados. With my private jet and air field we can leave as soon as we want. And stay as long as we want. "

I can tell they are getting more and more upset. Just as I am about to show them the ring. The cake arrives and they both pounce on it. Cake is flying everywhere. That poor waiter. It takes them a few minutes to realize I'm laughing my butt off. I hear Alc first.

" What the fucking hell is so damn funny. Unless you swallowed you engagement ring. It's fucking missing. I see noth..."

I've been cleaning my ring in my water since they started their quest in carrot cake. Eric still hasen't looked up as I hear a growl uh oh Alc finish.

" ing. You bitch. Eric look she was joking with us. Although I think she should wear the remaining cake or at least the icing."

Oh fudge. I get up backing away. As quickly as I can I look for something to hide behind. Dang it nothing. I look at them with my best innocent face.

Doesn't help. I quickly turn for the exit. Though with their giant legs their on me in two steps. With their icing and cake hands I say

" Don't you dare. It was a joke. I love you. It's real pretty. Thank you?"

I cringe as they both bust out laughing as Eric says

" Lover don't do that again. You had me about to rip the arms off an innocent man far taking what wasn't his. Do you like it?'

I wipe their hands off as the waiter returns with a large bowl of hot water and soap. I help them to clean up. I am shocked as they only have a few specks of cake on their clothes.

As I finish up with Alc. Eric dismisses the waiter as I hear the carriage come around. Alc smile as he says.

" Shall we Tinker bug."

He steals a kiss as they both lead me to the carriage helping me in. I scoot over for them to get in as Alc closes the door.

I watch my mates mount their steads as we all take off for this party for some vip vampire. I know I gotta get used to this but this was my fairytale night.

It seems to take no time to reach a large tent. I see a few cars. I sit and wait as Eric dismounts and goes inside to check on things as Alc dismounts and comes over to wait with me. He opens the door helping me out he wraps me in a hug. He smiles at me as he says.

" Have I told you how much I love you lately my fiancee."

I hug him tightly as he leans down capturing my lips kissing me with a passion. As he licks my lower lips I open my mouth as our tongues duel and dance.

I can still taste the cake and the sweetness of the icing mixing with his own natural taste. Before we can get to carried away.

I hear Eric approach us just as Alc breaks the kiss. I look up in time to meet Eric's kiss. Just as hot and as passionate as always.

He breaks the kiss with me. He murmurs in Alc ear. Alc breaks our hug and takes my hand wrapping it in the crook of his arm.

As Eric does the same. We walk towards the tent. The tent flaps are opened to reveal a very elegant room.

There are chairs placed around tables scattered around a wooden dance floor. There is a bar set up close to the entrance and a long table with finger foods.

There are thousands of fairy lights adorning the walls and roof of the tent. In the far corner is a live band playing.

I see all our family. They are all sitting half way between the bar and the band. Behind Jason I see the Fae royal guard in full uniform and looking ready for anything.

There are several vampires here, that I don't know. I also see most of the long tooth pack. All are mingling around.

I see Jason sitting with Pam and Janice and little Jc. Jc spots his Uncle. As Jc breaks free of his mom and comes running towards us at full speed leaving Alc just barely enough time to bend down and scoop him up. He starts with.

" Untel Alt are you marrn An Tootee. Momna gowin marrn Untel Jasn an An Pam. Momna say Pam wol be my momn too. Whoss he untel Alt."

He's so cute hiding his face in Alc's neck. Only to peek out at Eric. Alc 's gonna make a wonderful dad. He looks at Eric as he says,

"Jc this is my future husband Eric. He and I both are going to marry Sookie soon. So he will be your uncle too. Can you say Uncle Eric."

He looks so cute as he scrunches up his little face as he tries.

" Untel Ewit."

He's so adorable. Alc hugs him as he says.

" That's close enough buddy. Say good bye to Uncle Eric and Aunt Sookie. Go back to you mom now. I'll see you in a little bit. Okay?"

I smile at him as Eric pats him on the back. Jc shyly says.

" Ta byd Untel Ewit An Tootee"

He starts squirming to be put down. As soon as his feet hit floor he's off like a rocket. He's so cute. I can't wait as Eric asks.

" Alc how old is Jc."

" He is about to turn 3 on Nov 22nd. He's still having problems with pronouncing some of his letters. But he's getting better every time I see him. Are you ready to make the announcement Eric."

He smirks and waves at Jason then we all walk to where the band was playing. As Eric takes the microphone everyone quiets down He announces.

" Thank you all for being here this evening. As you may or may not know Queen Sophie Ann is no longer our Queen. Her Husband Russell Eddgington has met his final death.

The Council and the Authority have ruled. I am to be crowned King of Louisiana and Mississippi on October 30th . All here are invited to attend the coronation and following Ball.

I would also like to announce that I have found my mates. Mr. Alcide Herveaux and Miss Sookie Stackhouse Brigant Princess to the Sky Fae.

On this very night I have asked for them to become mine in all ways possible. They have both accepted.

Mr. Herveaux has also ascended to be both states Lead Pack master. As my mate we will also be Royal consort to the crown. I intend to make Princess Brigant my Queen.

Those of you who do not agree with this have until October to find other places to live and work. Every one else will pledge their fealty to us all.

I will announce my Sheriffs and Lieutenants and Second in command at the coronation. For those of you who know of the prophesy and know of my part, we are the Trilogy,

Mr. Stackhoue Brigant Prince of The Sky Fae as well as his mates are the Triad. This bit of information is now public knowledge.

All other information will be made public at a later date. You all know my second and Child Pamela Ravenscroft. She Has a announcement to make. Please enjoy your evening."

Eric hand the mic to Pam as she speaks.

" Thank you King Northman. I too have an announcement to make. My mates ad I are also too be joined together in a ceremony in the not to distant future.

On another note I am proud to be the first to congratulate my maker and our Future King on his upcoming nuptials. As well as to welcome our future Queen and concort into the family. Welcome Mistress, Sir."

I nod as does Alc as Pam raises her glass of blood once again as she continues.

" May your Kingdom's only prosper and you find nothing but happiness in married life. Hear hear. Hear hear. Hear hear."

I hear nothing but cheers and clapping. As the music resumes and my mates ask.

" Dance"

I give them a smile and my hands as we proceed to the dance floor to dance the night away. At a little after 2 in the morning. Things are winding down as I sit with Alc as he's talking to someone and Eric is off doing his own thing. Godric approaches me but asks Alc if he may have a dance with me. Huh must be a vampire thing. So as we start to dance I ask him.

" Why did you ask Alc if I could dance. I was sitting right there. Did you know that they were going to propose to me tonight?"

" First my I say that you look absolutely beautiful tonight you seem to be glowing. Generally when a bonded is with her mates. It is only polite to ask permission from the mate not her.

It is old fashion I know but most Vampires see it as a sign of respect and acknowledgment of possession, ownership.

I know that is not accurate for you and your mates. This is what normally occurs when a vampire bonds with a human.

But you have to understand there hasn't ever been a situation such as you and your mates. So until you are ruling it is best to er on the side of caution.

I am sorry if I upset you. It was not my intent. I would have said something to you but your mates wanted this to be a surprise for you. I hope that it was a pleasant surprise."

" Thank you. Yes it was very pleasant. Though I am starting to wonder if this is what being married to a King and Pack master will be like.

I have either followed Eric around as he talked to several people till my feet started hurting. Alc comes over and we go and sit while he discusses Were politics.

The only difference between the 2 of them was I was standing with one and the other I was sitting. I mean what's so special about tonight's party except for our engagement and Eric's announcement. I am sorry to gripe to you. But your just so easy to talk to."

" Little one I'll always be here for you to gripe to. As well as if you have questions. As to answer you question unfortunately this is a supe ball.

Meaning that everyone here is a supe or knows if all supes. As you can tell there is only a handfull of humans and they are either glamored or are married to a supe.

Therefore making it a perfect ans safe place to talk shop openly so to speak. At normal party's, supes cannot talk about supe business for fear of being outed by a human.

This we all hope with you and your mates as well as your siblings will be able to help all supes who want to live out in the open.

They will have that choice. As well as being able to coexist with humans as equals. History has proven that humans are by far the most fickle and temperamental species.

They think all not human should live as second class citizens. Vampires chose to come out to gauge the response of the humans.

Mostly because at one time 80% of us were human before turned. We are the least likely to enslave the humans. And we are the least magical of supes.

We may live longer are stronger and faster and have unique ability's. We are not the worst out there by far.

We can't turn into an animal. We can't produce things from thin air nor pop from place to place. We can not manipulate the air or water.

We can't control others with mind control. We have Glamor but that allows us to erase someones mind even change their memories.

Though humans have been fascinated with magic for the last few centuries. As it is now we are not sure that same fascination would still be there if they knew what was really out there.

It is why there are already supes against you and your mates. They are afraid of living in the open. Though I think they will never admit it as that would be considered a weakness so much so that most are willing to kill you all to prevent it from occurring.

They want to simply over take this realm and enslave the humans that inhabit it."

" You are a wonderful dancer. Um Godric would you be able to do our ceremony. Eric said that there is a polygamy ceremony that you could preform for us. I would like to marry them both under the constitution. But I know that isn't possible."

" You are as well my dear. I think I can handle what ever you want. I had suggested this very ceremony to Eric and Alc the other day.

I am ordained to preform humans ceremony's as well as supe matings. I will talk with Eric and Alc as well as Jason and we will come up with the perfect ceremony to incorporate it all.

I see they gave you a beautiful promise rings. I even noticed Eric and Alc were wearing matching rings. Your engagement ring looks beautiful. Right at home on your hand."

" Thank you Godric. I love my rings. Will the wedding band match as well as my ring guards do?"

" Did they tell you about the rings?"

" No I get snippets when they think about the same thing and are really nervous. It really didn't make sense until I saw Janice and Pam's rings. I saw the box you gave to Eric. So thank you I love it."

"It was my pleasure little one. It was something I saw in my head when I was studying with a master Jeweler. Are you ready to leave, I believe your mates are ready to go."

"Yes oh gosh though I have enjoyed talking with and dancing with you. Um Don't say anything about me knowing about the ring.

I think they will tell me and they know I get snippets but I think its sweet that they were so nervous that they were broadcasting loudly"

" Of course. I will see you tomorrow."

I see Eric approach as Godric gives my hand to him as he nods to Eric. We walk to where Alc is as Eric says.

"My lover are you as ready to leave as we are."

I blush as I say

" Yes. The sooner the better."

I take their arms as we leave the tent. The carriage and horses are waiting for us. They must see the disappointment in my face as they both smile as Alc says.

" We won't be separated for long and you will have us forever. Besides you need to rest as much as you can cause your going to need your strength. "

I blush even more as they help me into the carriage. I watch as they mount their horses imagining what their muscles look like rippling as they move.

Mm mm. Oh my. He was right. The ride back to the house just flew by. Before I knew it I was being swept up Eric's arms as he helped me out but didn't let go right away. As I slid down his body I felt just how much he was wanting more privacy. Oh lordy.
