FIGHT NIGHT

APOV

I fucking hate this. I let him get to me. I knew he would try to bait me after the shit at the house. I tried like hell not to react to his taunts.

But thanks to Sook projecting everything, I heard every fucking disgusting perverted thing in that bastard's head. I knew Eric heard him too, just by the looks he kept throwing me.

That prick has pulled some crazy ass shit in the past. No wonder he aligned himself with Steve fucking Newlin.

I know that prick wants to rid the world of all supernatural creatures, but to fucking drag the rest of us out... exposing us to humans. You just don't do that shit.

Then he introduces him to a sorcerer. What the hell was he thinking? So he hated his fucking life. He brought it all on himself . A fast death is too damn good for him.

I wish I would have talked with Eric and had Norris made a vampire. Then we could torture him every motherfucking night for eternity.

But no, I had to promise to make it a fast kill, and that I would be gentle with her. That last promise is going to be fucking harder to keep than I originally thought. Shit.

He pissed me off bringing Orrian to the fight tonight. When he used his magic causing Sook to intervene and tried to expose what was happening here I was fucking livid.

I was having a hard enough time controlling the animalistic side of me, and lost it totally when that miserable excuse of a were lunged for her.

Thank fuck for Eric's quick reaction, I was stuck in the god damn cage going mother fucking ballistic as I had to watch helplessly unable to protect her.

Every animal instinct in me was on edge and demanding justice for what he was doing to each of my mates. I could only feel the need to spill his blood now.

The need to kill was tremendous, and I fucking let it take over. Every damn blow, bite and swipe that drew blood, drove me further into my blood lust.

That jack ass put up a hell of a fight. He fought just as vicious as I thought he would. Swipe for swipe. Blood for blood. But he was still no match for me.

I could feel our mutual hate fueling the fight. He knew he had lost when I landed the swipe to his belly. That's a killing blow no matter how long it takes you to bleed the fuck out.

Bastard still cheated every chance he got by climbing the cage to get away from me. Really? Did he fucking think time apart would calm me the fuck down?

His death was over far too soon to satisfy me. I felt almost cheated at not getting to tear into him more, and I barely restrained myself from ripping him to shreds worse than he already was as I sent him flying instead. Even after he was dead I wanted to rip him apart.

All I could do was pace and try to calm the fuck down. But the fucking scent of blood everywhere was not helping me get my animal instincts or my blood lust under fucking control.

I tried hard to control myself as I mounted Sookie. But my animalistic urges weren't happy with just the kill. When I smelled her blood I went nuts, hurting her even more.

I fully expected Eric's wrath, when we entered the room. I had heard him screaming at me to calm the fuck down in my own head.

Hell if the situation had been reversed I would have peeled his skin off and gutted his ass for hurting her.

Hell drawing her blood would had led to him being strung up as I removed certain body parts repeatedly as they regrew each time.

As it was I felt like a worthless piece of shit for what I had done to her. I knew there was a chance that what happened could happen but I still lost all control.

I knew I should never have fucking agreed to letting her in there with me. I should have let Quinn be my second and mate after the fight.

I was so damn lost to blood lust, had I mated with anyone else I most likely would have killed them. I was just as shocked as Eric was, when she defended me to him.

I know for a fact Eric was horny as hell at her show of power over us. Shit I was sporting my own wood with her show of dominance, at putting us in our place.

I watch Eric lick every single drop of blood off of our bodies. I pull her back flush against my chest. I need her to know just how sorry I am. I nuzzle her neck as I whisper.

" I … Tinker bug. Shit I am so fucking..."

Wrapping her arms back around my neck she turned and kissed my cheek, interrupting me.

"Shush. Bear, I know that wasn't this you out there just now. It was my decision to be here for you. Just as I said, I don't blame you and neither should you.

If someone's to blame then leave it where it belongs, on that lying SOB that has been a thorn in your paw for far longer than you are willing to admit to yourself.

He did everything he could to drive you nuts hoping you would make a mistake. He walked in there knowing that to win he had to cheat, get you off your game.

He miscalculated, and now he is dead and gone. You won't have to deal with him ever again. Unless, wait are ghosts or zombies real?"

I know she was trying to lighten my mood. I hug her tight as I chuckle out.

" No Tinker bug there are no such things as zombies. As for ghosts that depends on who you talk to, though I have never seen or heard a ghost before."

I inhale her scent deeply. It soothes me like no other. I feel Eric standing behind me as he reaches around me to fondle her breast. He chews on my neck as my hands work their way south as she continues on saying.

"Well good then. You have know idea how it upsets me to know that you are upset at hurting me even when you lose control and give into you animal instincts.

Especially when it is so much apart of your nature to protect me at all costs. I know you weren't you and that you love me.

I married you Alc, the Were, the man, the supe. I married all of you. Good or bad, but most of all my Bear I married you for being you.

You are the strongest, meanest, most protective, but fairest, sweetest, loving and the most gentle alpha wolf I have had the privilege of knowing.

Mm that feels so good. Don't stop. I need you both of you now."

I chew on her neck as one finger is thrusting in and out of her tight wet center. While my thumb is rubbing circles around her clit, I feel Eric slide around us to her front. I whisper in her ear.

" You my Angel always know just what to say to me. Let us show you just how we feel about you. Spread your legs for us."

Her moans and mewls are music to my ears. I feel his fingers next to mine as I continue thrusting them into her sopping wet pussy. She grinds into my thumb as her first release hits her hard.

Feeling her legs want to give out on her we levitate off of the floor. She doesn't even realize that we are floating as I enter her from behind.

She rides me with our help as Eric swallows her moans of pleasure. I feel him pulling her juices from her as I thrust up into her, using it to lube her clit.

It doesn't take long before I feel her walls flutter and tighten as her orgasm rips through her she milks mine from me as she screams.

"MMMM BEAR YESYESYESSSSSS YOU FEEL SOOOOO GOODDDDD!MMMMMMM"

I lay her back on my chest as she recovers her breath. I feel Eric grab my softening member as her walls release me and lick me clean.

He releases me with a pop, barely moving, he licks our lover clean from between our legs. He is stroking me hard again as he brings her to another climax with his mouth. She moans out.

" OH MY GOD ERIC YESSSSSSS! MORE GOD ERIC I NEED MOREYESSSSSS!"

I feel Eric place me between his legs as he thrust into her. I feel her juices coat my cock giving me the wetness I need as Eric fucks us both earning a moan from us both.

I tighten my legs around his thighs as she has her legs wrapped around his waist. I reach around her and rub her clit as he pounds into us.

He leans down as I lean up on one arm. Our mouths meet swallowing each others moans as he picks up his speed. I hear her moan out.

" I NEED YOU. BOTH OF YOU MMMM YYEEESSSSSSSS!"

I can feel more of her juices sliding down onto my cock as he stills and lines us both up. We push into her slowly as she is still so damn tight.

She holds onto his arms as we thrust in and out going faster as her moans increase. When she clamps down on us as her orgasm starts my sack tightens as I feel Eric's cock start pulse.

I bite into her neck as Eric bites her breast causing me to cum harder than I have in a long time. She is panting hard as I lick her neck clean.

Slowly I lower us to the floor where I call a stack of furs for us to rest on. I lay her down gently as I give her a slow kiss exploring her mouth.

When I feel the need to breath I release her mouth only to have Eric claim my mouth in a very dominate tonguey kiss.

When he licks my canines I nearly come undone. I release his mouth and pull him to his side as I grab him stroking him.

I lean over our love, taking him in my mouth letting him set the pace. It doesn't take long before he starts preparing me to take him.

I moan around his cock causing him to twitch, as I hear our little minx moaning. I feel her her hand stroking my hardening member.

When I am ready to take him. I give him one final lick as I turn around I hear her moan louder as I see her juices flowing out of her. I give her several licks as Eric works his way into my ass.

My moans have her close in no time. When I suck her bundle into my mouth she pulls my hair holding my head to her mound directing me where to go.

Flicking her clit with my tongue has her legs squeezing my head and her heels trying to pull me into her. His thrusts increase at watching us. Only adding to my pleasure.

I add my fingers to the mix thrusting them as she tries to buck. I use my other hand to hold her down. I find her secret spot and have her coming in no time.

Her moans of ecstasy set off Eric as he pulls out and finishes on my back. I crawl up her body kissing and nipping at her moisten skin. Fuck she tastes so damn good.

I roll off her to her side as Eric rolls to her other side. I feel her tiny hand stroke my already painfully hard cock. I moan when I feel his hand join hers in getting me off.

Thrusting into their hands I suck her nipple into my mouth licking and biting it into a stiff peak. I cum all over both of them, when I feel the sting of Eric's slap on my ass.

I am panting as I come down from my high, to hear them both kissing as I watch him heal her lower lips with his bloody fingers.

I call a warm wet washcloth to me and clean off both of their stomachs. Eric calls a cloth moving behind me cleaning up my back. He kisses me between my shoulder blades.

I circle her now swollen bellybutton. I feel a hand or foot push back as she laughs. I lean down laying a gentle kiss and stroke her belly with my finger. I hear her giggle out.

' Sttooppp that you turd. You know I'm ticklish."

Mmm a challenge. I see Eric move just as I look up at her face she starts to move when Eric grabs her feet tickling them and I start tickling her sides.

I love my Tinker bug to death but she kicks like a damn mule when shes being tickled. She's laughing and wiggling trying and failing at getting free.

She's grabs my head trying to pull me off of her as she threatens us in between laughs.

"SSSStoppp it! I'll pee on y'all if you both don't stop it right now. I mean it. I'm as serious as a heart attack. I know where you sleep.

I'll get you both back. I swearrrrrrrrr itttttttttt! SSSSTTTTOOOPPPP IIIITTTT! "

I stop long enough to look back at Eric. He has his smirk firmly in place when he raises his eyebrow at me. I smile and wink at him as I lean down and place a gentle kiss on her belly.

When she opens her mouth to say something I start blowing raspberries on her belly button. She's back to laughing and squirming as she threatens.

"Seriously. What are you like two? Stop it Alc! I mean it. What do you think you're doing? Don't you even think about it viking. I will hurt you bo..."

I hear more raspberries, as I look up Eric is blowing raspberries from her throat to her chest. She starts kicking me and trying to push him off of herself when she growls.

"Both of you stop it right this minute or you both will be the only ones changing poopy diapers that our babies make for as long as they're in diapers. I mean it"

We both back off like she zapped us. There is no way in hell I want to be on diaper duty with my sense of smell. She has her evil glint in her eyes.

Aw hell we pushed her too damn far. Fuck we are so screwed. She mumbles under her breath but we both hear her say.

" Good to know. {louder} You two are in the dog house busters. I was all sated and comfy and now you got me all worked up again. Both of you had better make it all better."

That is just what we did for the next several hours. When we rested we talked about anything and everything.

I found out that ass hat had that throne made so that when we hold court at Fangtasia in the newly constructed throne room we would all match.

Fucker smirked at me while Sook laughed when I threatened to only sit in it in my wolf form. He reminded me that I couldn't levy judgments as a wolf.

Her snickers only got louder when I threatened to mark my territory on each of the thrones making them unusable. I was pouting. So fucking what.

She reminded me that it is nothing more than a fancy smancy chair and that if I damaged them in any way she would let Pam design the next thrones.

I backed the fuck down when Eric shuddered and looked ill. When he told us about a house he let her decorate everything was a different shade of pink.

From the appliances to the cars. He said it looked like a Barbie house on steroids. I made the mistake of asking him how he knew what Barbies house looked like.

Let's just say Pam went through her second childhood already. She still has every Barbie that has ever been made as well as accessories.

Once we're through sating our lover, we finally left our room all clean and redressed. We found CC waiting for us. Every one else had already gone home.

Apparently we were in there for quite a while. With out missing a beat she launches in just like Godric and Eric do. Must be a vamp thing.

" OK he must of be spelled himself to look and smell differently to us. We never saw or smelled him enter the building or the woman. We smelled no magic. We let only 4 weres enter.

Once Sook broke the spell we could see them and have since removed them. Orrian isn't talking and the girl doesn't know jack about anything.

The frames had a video feed to a van about 3 miles down the road. Godric had already found them when he did a fly by to check for humans.

Turns out the woman and the two men in the van were Fellowship. They were to broadcast this fight to the church. There was live feed from the church in the van.

This church just so happens to be where the good Steve Newlin along with his whole congregation, happen to be hosting a impromptu news conference right then.

He was debating with Nan and we did some digging and it seems that he had hinted that there was other creatures out there to fear.

He ended it by saying that he was on a mission and that God told him of all these vile and evil creatures that he needed to rid the world of.

So Godric glamored the humans to believe that they never found the fight and that they don't know what happened to Norris and his friends.

Since we can't kill Orrian, Godric contacted Niall to see if he had any ideas as to how to prevent him from using his magic. Unfortunately he pulled a Houdini before Niall called back.

I was volunteered to wait for you three and bring you all up to speed. Though I didn't think it would take you all damn night to do what ever it was you three were doing. (smiling)

I swear rabbits don't fuck as often as you three do. We need to go, it's past dawn and I really don't want to have to deal with some one recognizing me."

She hooks elbows with Sook as they walk off to get in the car. I look around the warehouse for the first time. Hell looks like nothing has happened here.

There is no damn sign any fighting cage or even that a death occurred in here. We finally get to relax a little and have a bit of normalcy in our lives.

About fucking time. We are still in the honeymoon stage after all. Knowing what I know now I just wish that night could have lasted longer.

Godric did find out a lot before Orrian disappeared. Turns out Orrian was in it just for the money that Newlin offered him and Norris.

He owed quite a few debts and couldn't pay. Apparently our Newlin has a few skeletons in his closet, of the supernatural kind.

He admitted that he had long since known about witches and shifters. But he knew he would look like an idiot with out proof.

He sent out requests to the local covens to see if they would help him in the war against vampires and shifters in exchange for keeping them secret.

He hoped with them on his side that they would help expose us all and then sit back while the humans take us all out.

When Orrian approached Newlin he never corrected him that he wasn't a witch. He was negotiating with Newlin for money when Norris walked in.

he said that Norris lied and told him that there was only a small group of shifters left. That they were dieing off due to too many modern diseases.

Orrian talked as though he had a plan to even things out and hide the Supes that hadn't been exposed, after his debt could be paid off and he had some spending cash.

It wasn't exactly a great situation but like he pointed out he wasn't the one to expose weres or witches which is what Newlin believed he was. Hell I still don't trust him.

The next two weeks flew by. We all relaxed and acted like the newlyweds we were. It was perfect. No distractions, disasters, death threats, not even a single vision.

Before we knew it Thanksgiving was upon us and the girls were growing bigger everyday, and more out of control with their hormones.

I do not fucking remember Janice ever being this damn bad but I didn't live with her either. Hell any female in the pack was never this bad. We had a really nice but hormonal Thanksgiving. Nice for them hell for us.

All the weres at the house and all three of us changed and hunted the day before only to have the women tear us each a new asshole for getting mud in our fur and on their floors.

They insulted us further by refusing to clean and cook the deer we had killed. It wasn't a traditional Thanksgiving meal they all said. What fucking ever.

The bigger they get the less content they are. If I have to rub one more set of swollen ankles or hear them bitch about being fat. I'm gonna damn scream.

Apparently Jason doesn't do it right. Not to mention he's not sensitive enough to their swollen joints and a complete bastard for being a male.

Pam's the worst. She zaps first then cries about it later. Just because we decided to help each other out since there was three of them and three of us.

That doesn't mean I'm willing to do it all. Jason and Eric both need to man the hell up. I am not Pam or Janice's mate for Christ sake.

I am only Sookie's mate and not her only one either. Each of those damn women are never on the same page hormone wise. I feel like I'm being torn apart.

Each one wanting you on their side. Choosing sides was dangerous at best, deadly at worst. I learned that the hard way by being stuck to the roof for three hours for simply saying Janice didn't look as swollen as the day before.

Sookie didn't like the comment. Makes me want to sleep in the guards' rooms up stairs until the babies are born. Hell maybe till they are all born.

I just want to feel safe in knowing all my parts will still be attached when I wake up. Especially after what they did to Jason, poor bastard..

I get that they finally don't feel comfortable having sex. But that was just cruel and frankly uncalled for in my opinion. Not that I'd tell them that right now.

I know he's not the brightest bulb in the pack when it comes to common sense. But they both knew he was a horn dog when they married him.

Getting racked hurts like a motherfucker. I know it all too well. But I don't even want to know what it feels like to have them ripped off .(his words)

I still cringe and check myself when ever I see the poor fucker. They're called the family jewels for a damn reason.

I've woken up more than once to two if not all three girls fighting. Each one with the threat, if I don't pick their side I'll end up like Jason.

All the other mated men and non mated men in the house keep hiding when those three are on the war path. Chicken shits all of them.

When I hide they all whine that I don't care. But never a word about the rest of the men hiding. When the hell did I become Dr., Phil and Oprah?

Godric gets daily updates from Arlene. Hell I'm almost positive he's been having fun sending Newlin on wild goose chases.

For a 2,800+ year old vampire, he truly acts the age he looks. He not only has a very vindictive side but he can pull pranks you wouldn't believe. So damn glad he doesn't pull that shit on family.

Newlin's been seen at an all night deli opening that he thought was vampire owned. Why the fuck would a vamp own a deli?

Hell then he was informed that newly risen vampers were being reunited with their loved ones at a party Godric set up.

He got the address wrong and crashed a family reunion. They weren't real happy with him. Word is that some of the family members, all Gypsies placed a curse on Newlin.

The next party he crashed wasn't even Godric's doing. He had Intel that there was a secret supe party going on.

Dumb ass that he is got there just as the sun set. Most of the guests were Demon's and were's. The vamp's hadn't got there yet.

That fucker thought he had us about one and a half weeks ago. He surrounded a ball room full of reporters with silver, guns, and stakes. They were having their annual awards banquet.

Needless to say Newlin didn't like being on camera that time. I laughed my ass off as he ran into the room spouting his anti vampire hate filled words. Best footage I've seen in a long ass time.

It took a good ten minutes for him to realize there wasn't a vampire in the room. To say he looked like the clueless fuck tard he is would be an understatement.

The cake taker was when he and his soldiers of the sun descended on a bar mitzvah like locusts. I heard the Jewish community was suing him.

But the reporters had said that several angry moms had beat the ever loving shit out of their asses. The whole time Newlin was said to demand to be taken to the vampires in attendance.

When he crashed the Mayor's Ball, with guns, smoke bombs, and silver spray, I thought he would never see the light of day again. There were actual vampires there that had gotten sprayed and shot at.

Well, yea so they dove in front of said bullet to save the Mayor's wife. It was their job after all as security. The news made them vamps out to be heroe's against our local terrorist group.

The shocked look on Newlin's face when the guard got up and held his hand out as the wooden bullet pushed it's way out of his sternum, then giving it to the Mayor,

It. Was. Priceless. Absolutely fucking priceless as they hauled his ass off to jail. He didn't count on them wearing Kevlar.

Of course when he and his crony's broke into a Christmas party that some big wig company was throwing, he had all types of weapons with him that time.

That fucker had fire shooters and stun grenades that he used this time. When the Christmas tree went up in flames, every one panicked.

When the sprinklers were triggered and doused the flames, Newlin looked just like what he was. A drowned rat on a sinking ship. The film crew got a lot of great footage that night.

I'll say this, that shit head is persistent. Stupid, crazy, and gullible as hell but definitely determined in what he's doing. It just makes him more dangerous in the eyes of the law and us.

He's upping his game too. We all know that he is starting to look like the fool he is. I'm worried that this can and will make him even more unstable.

This last one got him arrested and held at the Federal level for being a terrorist group. I heard that he and his men have been unable to raise bail this time.

I know for a fact Eric owns the company that had the Christmas party he was arrested at. I know it was done intentionally too. Hell the cameras for that news show gave that away.

I mean who has a Christmas party before DEC 1st. Seriously. Them vamps are good with excuses though. The party was held early for editing of the footage. Even the CEO bought it.

Hell even Arlene's group left the Fellowship after that embarrassment. They cited he was crazy but I think Sook's suggestion had finally kicked in. Either that or Godric released them from his command once he finally had his fun.

Those three women of ours have made it their mission to see if they could buy every holiday decoration out there. Store or internet didn't matter.

We, as in all the men living here, had to put up ( read find a spot not all ready full ) all the decorations they bought or made. It was babies' first Christmas. They haven't been born yet.

Hell if it was in the wrong place, we got our ass chewed out. Even if that is exactly where they said to put it , it was still our fault.

It was hell on earth if they didn't agree. We got bitched, threatened and cried on till it was placed in it's proper place. They even got the non pregnant women crying and hiding from them.

The single men, yea they abandoned us after that, ( can't blame them a bit). Let me tell you it's scarey as fuck when a 26 year old 5 ft short preggo threatens a 900 year old taller than her vampire with the true death.

All because Aley implied, while she was dodging light zaps, 'Sookie at three months was bigger than the Virgin Mary on display outside at nine months.

First off it was a life size replica of the nativity scene. And uh hello, she is bigger. She's having quints for fucks sake.

Not that I told her that. I value my balls more than that, Then she went after Eric, for making the brat, threatening him with no sex ever again for making her.

Course I'm the lucky bastard that got to hear all about how unfair everyone was being towards her. All while she sobbed and hiccuped her way through a gallon of chunky monkey ice cream about being hormonal.

Jason that asshole keeps phasing out and hiding from their hormonal out bursts. Cheeky dip shit he is, gifted Eric and me that power only for Sook to take it away and bitch, moan and cry for two solid days that we didn't love her enough or we wouldn't hide from her like that.

After that Janice started carrying a base ball bat every where she went. She would swing at the air when he would disappear.

Dumb ass, stays invisible and just keeps hollering every time she lands a shot, he will never learn. All the while she's screaming that life's not fair that we can't carry the kids for a while.

Trust me they looked into it very thoroughly. I think they even contacted Claudine and Niall for a spell. Thank every God out there wasn't one.

I feel bad for what they're going through. And I would gladly carry them if I was able to. But yea thank fuck I don't have the right equipment. So fucking glad I'm a man.

We've been to the bar only once with the women. It was a fucking night mare. They made Vamps want to defect and fang bangers cry.

They may not have looked preggo at all or hormonal, but they damn sure acted like it. Even though some of the vamps knew that they were pregnant.

They still made a wide path to avoid their wrath. You know your wife is a scarey hormonal bitch when she can make old as dirt vamps turn tail and run with just a look.

But when we tried to go back the next week for a business meeting and court you would have thought we were killing them. They didn't want to go cause everyone was so mean to them.

Since then my role, if you will, has been to keep Sook happy while Eric tends to vampire bullshit. He only deals with Sookie when I have pack business to attend to.

Thank fuck he and I don't have much to deal with yet. Though right now I would much rather deal with an all out pack war than riding their bullshit hormone train.

Yesterday was the Sheriffs Ball. Everything went off with out a hitch. We all sighed with relief when it was over. We only needed to put in an appearance for that one.

Friday is the Black and White Ball. It is for all the Kings and Queens, Pack Leaders and mucky mucks to get together and pat each other on the back with a good job or another great year.

It's the last of the three balls we have to attend. But with Newlin incarcerated with the Feds and his church falling apart at the seams. We can breathe a little.

It's still a few days away, but the babies are due any time now. I know that Sookie's nervous about her vision. Even though I can't see Newlin trying anything like her vision now.

With the drastic drop in memberships at his church he could become desperate enough to try something. We're all still being vigilant and aren't taking any chances.

Hell right now I'm more worried that they're gonna go into labor all at the same time. Or even worse while we're at the ball. Now that would be a shit storm of epic proportions.

I roll onto my back as she snuggles into my side resting the babies on my stomach. These days it's her most comfortable position.

One arm is above my head as I rub her belly with my other while Eric rubs her back. Evidently I don't do it right and his stomach is way too hard for her to get comfy.

I get kicked awake every time when the babies want to play. I just don't see how she stands all the kicking and wiggling around they do.

They enjoy kicking me as much as they like to kick Eric in the face. Yes they know when his face is on her belly. Godric is the only one of us they won't kick.

He has spent hours talking to the girls' baby bumps. Often laying his head on their belly's to listen to ' min barns'. I just hope they can speak English when they start talking.

Just not what ever fucking ancient language Godric and Eric talk to them in. I don't think I'll ever understand his native tongue no matter how hard he tries to teach me.

A kick to the ribs brings me back to the present. Eric is spooned up behind her rubbing her back and chuckling. Sook giggles out.

" Bear. Where you been? The baby's have been really active this morning and you've been some where else. I told Eric I don't think it'll be long now. "

All I fucking heard was Bear and not long now. I start freaking the fuck out. I look at them both trying to will them to add some more damn information.

Shit they just keep staring at me like I grew a unicorn horn out of my head. What in the holy hell is wrong with them? Shit I finally find my voice and stammer out.

" What? When ? How long? Are you... pain? Do we need... call the Doctor call? How in the hell can you two be so fucking calm? "

I know, eloquent of me, but my brain to mouth filter took a fucking vacation. I rub her belly and I feel a tightness in her muscles that I haven't felt before.

Shit shit shit. That is a fucking contraction. She acts like she didn't feel anything. I tap into our bond just to check and I feel her discomfort then it's gone.

Well hell that didn't help. I look over to see if he caught it too. He looks like he's surprised almost confused. Shit shit shit. I barely catch Eric saying.

" My lover I told you to choose your words more carefully..."

What the hell? Is he fucking high? Drunk? I can feel her tense so I know his ass can. How in fucking hell can his ass be so damn calm? Clueless even.

Jesus fucking Christ he's supposed to be the one keeping me calm and he's acting like he's got Alzheimer's all the sudden. I feel her tense at his words as she snaps.

"Don't you tell me what to do or say. You big overgrown Viking sex god of a vampire a hole. It's not my fault he doesn't listen to what..."

If someone doesn't start telling me what I want to know I'm going to go bat shit crazy. Now shit head is backtracking like hell.

He knows as well as I do how hormonal she's been in the last few weeks. How hard is it to just kiss her ass till their born. Finally he apologizes,

"I am sorry my lover but I only meant that we're both nervous and worried about your comfort. I do not like seeing you in pain. Nor does Alc. If your..."

I can't take this any fucking more. We're getting no where fast. Someone's gonna need to be the sane one soon, and it's not gonna be me if I don't get some fucking answers soon. I growl out.

" Would someone tell me what the fuck is going on? Tinker bug you are in labor aren't you? Are you in any pain? Do you want or need anything? Do we need to call the Dr.? Please give me some answers one of you before my head explodes."

I am still rubbing her belly as the tension seems to leave her muscles once again. But the babies seem to be more active than usual.

She grabs my face, this is not going to be good. She's rubbing her thumb soothingly across my cheek with her hand cupping my neck as she replies.

" No I'm fine. Mostly. Just a few twinges...ugh..ohm.."

Just as I start to feel better I look at Eric and I see confusion, surprise, fear, and concern as he asks her the million dollar question.

" My lover you are in..."

WHAT THE FUCK SHIT? This so doesn't make me feel better. She's been hiding her contractions from us both.

He was supposed to monitor her feelings, and her body language since he is more used to separating himself from outside emotions in his bonds.

Where in the fuck has this ass hole been? He looks like he just joined us in the here and now. What in the hell is wrong with him? Is he freaking out too?

The look on her face is like someone getting caught with their hand in the cookie jar. So not good as she starts to explain to us. I reach for her again and I can't move, why can't I fucking move( growl)

"No. um well... Well yea kinda, sorta? It's been real irregular, kinda. Not really painful per say. More like I'd feel better if I could go to the bathroom.

You know like cramps sorta, only it comes and goes. I was gonna tell you both, I swear when it got worse or more steady."

Cramps and going to the bathroom do not sound like what I felt her belly do. It felt like every muscle drew in on itself. I hear her continue.

" Remember she said to call her only once they were 5 minutes apart and the labor was consistent, or if we all went into labor at once we could call her.

If you all start freaking out on me then I will get Godric to restrain you both from bothering her until I think it's time.

Now back to the beginning. I was, well we were laughing that the babies were using your back as a punching bag in between twinges. When I told them to stop.

You murmured 'that's okay babies it doesn't hurt daddy. Play if you want to.' and you rolled over as they started in again.

You're already spoiling them and they're not even born yet. They have Eric and Godric both wrapped around their little fingers already and now you too."

She giggles trying to lighten the mood. She fucking knows I'm gonna freak out. Deflecting us is so not gonna work this time.

There's more to what's going on or she wouldn't be freezing me now. Dammit! She must be close to giving birth. Shit shit shit.

She knows how the fuck I am in these situations. Just as I am about to say something that would possibly end in a fight with her. Eric asks.

"My lover, why are you holding me still and I am not wrapped around anyone's little fingers. Now will you please quit trying to ignore our questions and answer them? "

Wrong way to ask motherfucker. God I'll be glad when her hormones are under control again. Hell she's got that I'm gonna tear you a new asshole look as she starts.

" Oh no? Then how do you explain the pain in my butt prodigy of yours. Even Godric agrees with me that they have you wrapped around their fingers.

As to holding you still I just don't want y'all to go off half cocked, not that either of you could ever be said to have half cocks.

I mean you of all people know how scrumptious both of your cocks are. And they are big huge even, a gracious plenty you could say.

Both of you, really. From your gorgeous behinds, to you delectable front sides. Could someone turn the air on, is it getting hot in here? What ..."

I laugh quietly as she keeps trying to distract us. She looks like an angry kitten baring her teeth at a mountain lion.

Eric though, his ass ain't buying what she's selling. I can see the aggravation grow in his fucking eyes as he interrupts her.

" My lover, I will admit to spoiling my children. Now while you keep trying to ignore our questions. It only makes us both more determined to get the answers.

I already know you are in labor I can feel it in your back. I know you are in a great deal of pain for short amounts of time. Now do we need to call Ludwig? "

This is going over like a lead balloon. I feel her release me and Eric when he moves to get up. I lean up against the headboard bringing her up with me. I cup her face as I add.

" Tinker bug, it is not hot in here and you are being evasive and changing the subject. That being said we answered you when you asked us questions.

Will you please do us the same and answer us. Are your pains consistent? Do we need to call the Doctor now?

I felt the contractions in your belly. Please don't hide this from us. I don't want to overreact. But you aren't being exactly forth coming either. You are freaking me the fuck out. Please!"

She stares into my eyes. She knows me well enough to know all my tells. I wear my fucking emotions on my face when I'm upset. She needs to just come clean. Fuck.

I watch Eric pace beside the bed as she gathers her thoughts or musters some courage. Who the fuck knows at this point. It feels like fucking forever before she answers us.

"Don't freak out Bear. I am not hurting right now. Everything will be okay. I am sorry if I am scaring you both.

But it's not like I have a detailed itinerary. Jeez. You two act like just cause I'm a woman and I got the right equipment, that I'll automatically know what's gonna happen now.

Sorry to inform you, but I didn't get the memo of the what, where, when, or how this will go. So just cool your jets. Y'all will know when I know. Sheesh. We have plenty of time,(whispers) I think.

(louder)You,( point's finger in Alc's chest) know your the one who spoiled JC, to the point he expects to be given everything he sees on t v or sees his friends have. If either of you think of spoiling my babies like that..."

Her hormones are out in full force. She starts out almost sorry and ends up madder than a wet hornet as she continues,

"Well let's just say that the rest of my pregnancies will be by divine intervention and not cause y'all got me knocked up.

You both won't have me ever again. Am I understood. Don't test me on this I know where you sleep and I have no problem... OW!"

Shit she doubles over in pain as she nearly breaks my hand griping it. I can't tell if she's having a contraction or if the babies kicked her too hard. I ask her as I feel her belly for any contractions.

" Tinker bug what's happening? Was that just a kick or labor pains? Baby? Shit breath baby."

Eric kneels next to me laying his hand on her belly too. She pats my hand then his on her belly trying to reassure us. She looks up at us and says.

" I'm not sure but I've been having twinges since last night. But they were light and never consistent. Most definitely not like this."

He glances at me. Fuck me running. He is scared shitless. What the hell happen to him being the one in control. Shit shit shit.

She's been in labor since last night and she just now decides to tell us. What the hell is she thinking. This is not good. So fucking not good. He states the obvious pissing her off.

" My lover you are still hurting? What can we do for you?"

Sook rolls her eyes while she sarcastically reply's,

" Gee ya think big guy? Uh I don't know, how about you have them shoot out your dick. Let me know how that works for ya. "

He and I both cringe at anything shooting out of our cocks. She grabs my hand crushing it doubling over again she grunts out.

"Mm owwww that hurts Bear. Make it stopppp. Aauuggghhhhh ooooowwwwwwwwww!"

Fuck why me. I don't know how to make it stop. Shit now's she's crying. What the fuck did the Doctor say to do. Shit. Hell Eric's panic is rolling off him like stink on shit.

What the fuck happened to him being calm and cool under pressure.' I 'll be able to handle everything.' yea right. So much for that idea. I take the bull by the horn and say.

"Time her contractions. I'll go check with the Dr. I will be back soon. Don't let her out of bed."

He gives me this look like I'm stupid and says.

" And what do you suggest I time her with. I don't wear a watch, you do numb nuts. I'll call Ludwig you stay and time her."

He's the one to talk he's the vampire who can tell time by fucking instinct. Taking my watch off and handing it to him, I stand my ground and argue.

" You stay with her. Hell your the vamp use your sense of time, or just take my watch. I won't be gone long. You can tell by her feelings how long and far apart they are. Just keep her as calm and as comfortable as you can. I'll be right back."

He has an almost fight or flight look in his eyes as he looks at me as if I'm retarded and argues back,

" Why can't you stay with her? You're the human/ were not me. You've been around women who were giving birth not me.

Hell it's been over 1,200 years since I've been around anyone pregnant. I have never been around anyone about to give birth. We weren't allowed around when they gave birth in my human life much less as a vampire.

At the first sign of pain the men would leave, calling for the midwives and not return until it was all over. You stay. You have experience in child birth and what to do.

I'll call Ludwig and even check on everyone else. I'll get the birthing room set up and ready. I'll even send Aley up to let you know the eta on Ludwig and when to pop down to the birthing room."

That mother fucker thinks he's going to leave it all to me, he is high. There is no fucking way in hell I'm doing this without him to help.

I know enough that I don't want to be left alone with her. She gets pissed enough I could end up missing vital organs. I start to argue when Sook interrupts with a angry tone.

" Her is still here and still hurting. You A hole's get your crap together... Aaawwww ccccrrrraaaappppp! This is both of..."

A knock at the door stops us from arguing more, when Jason doesn't even wait for an answer. He barrels through the door like his ass is on fire. He rushes out.

" Pam, it's like she's broken somethin inside her. She says shes not hurtin but when she got outta bed she flooded the floor.

I know she's in labor but shit she tenses and growls at me every time I ask her if she's okay. If I go near her she threatens to slice and dice me till they're in college.

I'm worried about her cause she won't sit down and she gets even angrier at each pain. I'm afraid of what'll happen if she delivers standin up.

I hollered for Janice ta see if it was her time too. Ya know cause of what Doctor Ludwig said. I couldn't find her nowhere.

I called Godric to look for Janice and CC'c sitting with Pam. Dr. Ludwig's been called and she's meetin us all in the birthin room.

She wants us all down there right now. What ya grindin ya teeth for sis? That's not good on your teeth ya know. Are ya, oh shit... not you too?"

Well shit. That answered most our questions. Sook growls out. Fuck not good.

" Get me downstairs. You three are as useful as a rock being used for a floatation device. I swear by all that's holy y'all had better start oooowwwwwwww!"

I swear Jason's brain filter to mouth is stuck on stupid when he tries to get us fucking killed by asking her.

" Sis. Are you hurting? You really are in labor. Well hells bells this ain't... OOWWW STOP THAAATTTT DAMMITTTT! FUCK SIS THAT SHIT HURTSSSSS!"

Well hormonal in labor Sookie, is not one to piss off. She shoots bolts of lightening at Jason. Poor bastard brought it on himself.

Hell I feel for him but I am soo not getting on her bad side right now or ever. At least not more than I am already. Eric reasons with her as Jason throws up his shields, finally.

" My lover, he is only concerned for you. Please stop hurting your brother so that we can get you downstairs, that way the Doctor can check you out.

Please do not cry. We all love you and are only concerned with your health and the health of the babies."

And there go the waterworks. Shit no matter what we say or do she's gonna cry. I don't know what to do when she cries dammit.

She's like Niagra falls one minute, next she blows like Old Faithful, and I want to run and hide either way. She sniffles out, wiping the tears from her eyes.

" You don't care about me, you are only concerned with the babies. I am nothing more than a glorified pez dispenser to y'all.

I'll shoot them out one after the other then y'all will have what y'all want. But me I'll be the fat all stretched out one.

I'll just be laying there getting sewn back up after they rip me open from stem to stern. Y'all won't ever look at me the same way again.

(sniff ) I'll be fat and somebody's Mom from now on. You two a holes did this to me. This is all your fault. Ooowwwww

UUGGHHH AAAWWWW MMMM OOOOWWWW. Get me downstairs now unless y'all want to deliver them in here by yourself."

I lift her up into my arms, when she squeezes my neck hard through a contraction. I hear my bones pop and I know if I wasn't immortal already, she would have just broken my neck.

I kiss her temple. I hate it so much that she is in so much damn pain. Pain that we can't take away from her or seem to alleviate in any way. So I do what I do best, and say.

"Breath Tinker bug. Remember the breathing techniques that Dr. Ludwig showed us. Just know that we love you and I know that you're scared. But you will be the best Mom in the world.

You know if I could I would take the pain for you. I hate seeing you like this. So you squeeze as hard as you want."

With that I pop us downstairs where I hear Janice screaming and I hear the Doctor barking out orders to everyone. I lay Sook down on the bed and arrange her on her side where she is usually the most comfortable, as she grabs my hand. I ask her.

" Are you comfortable? Any pain? Do you want anything?"

Fuck what stupid questions. I sound like Jason for fuck sakes. She ignores my dumb ass questions for the most part, and responds.

" It hurts too much Bear. I've changed my mind I'm not ready to deliver. I'm scared. Please just make the pain stop and tell the Doctor I'm not having them today.

I'm not ready to be a Mom yet. I want to wait until she can find a drug to numb the pain. They can stay in there as long as it takes. AAAHHHH!"

I watch as Ames and Fran strap the fetal monitor on her. Dr. Ludwig checks her quickly. I hear a commotion in the corner of the room.

I look over to see Jason and Aley both suspended in the air with little bolts of lighting hitting his shield. Pam looks pissed and Eric is holding her down.

I see her zap him, sending him flying across the room. Aw hell the shit's about to hit the fan. I am so glad Sook is facing the other way and can't see what's happening.

I hear Janice cursing and crying as Godric and CC goes over to try to restrain Pam only to find themselves attached to the ceiling getting assaulted by her bolts of lighting too.

I see Eric blur back over there trying to keep her in the bed, as Sook screams out.

" BEAR MAKE IT STOP. IT FREAKING HURTS. TELL YOUR BABIES TO STOP MAKING ME HURT, OR GET THEM OUT RIGHT NOW.

BREATHE THROUGH THE PAIN. HA! YOU BREATHE THROUGH THE PAIN DUMBASS. IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT I'M IN PAIN IN THE FIRST PLACE.

AAAAAWWWWWWWWWWW OOOOOWWWWWWWWW MMMMPHHHHHH UUUUNNNNGGGGGHHHH.

I MEAN IT MAKE THEM STOP OR YOU WON'T EVER GET ANY NOOK NOOK FROM YOUR SOOK SOOK EVER AGAIN. YOU GOT ME?

YOUR THE REASON WHY I'M LIKE THIS YOU KNOW THAT DON'T YOU? YOU'RE NOTHING BUT AN OVERGROWN 6 FOOT HUGE SEX MACHINE.

IF YOU WEREN'T SO FUCKING SEXY EVERY GOD DAMN MINUTE I WOULDN'T WANT TO JUMP YOUR BONES EVERY TIME I SEE YOUR SEXY ASS.

AUGH I HATE YOU SO DAMN MUCH RIGHT NOW. THIS IS SO NOT FAIR YOU GET TO LOOK ALL SEXY WHILE I LOOK LIKE I JUST RAN A DAMN MARATHON."

Damn who knew she had such a sailors mouth on her. If I wasn't so scared outta my mind right now I would be really turned on. Shit cussing on her just looks sexy as hell.

I wipe the sweat from her face, then go back to rubbing her belly. She wiggles and squirms trying to get comfortable.

I grab the ice chips just as another contraction hits. She grunts through the pain as I try to sooth her through the contraction.

When I try to offer her some ice chips. She glares at me and sends the cup flying hitting Amelia in the face, ice going everywhere.

I must have stayed too damn quiet for too long. Shit the looks she's giving me just has me scared shitless as to what she'll do next.

After seeing the light show from Pam and the constant crying my sister is doing, I am afraid that Sook's head will explode any second from the near constant changing of emotions.

I'm afraid to ask for my hands back since she has broken most of my fingers. It seems so weird that such a tiny person could be that fucking strong.

Thank fuck she wants Eric now. As she always seems to be sweeter and less like a lunatic when he's around. Though I won't hold my breath as she screams for him.

" DAMMIT IT HURTS. YOU ARE SO NOT HELPING ME. YOU ARE AN ASS IF YOU THINK I'LL EVER LET YOU NEAR ME AGAIN.

IT WOULDN'T HURT SO FREAKING MUCH IF Y'ALL WEREN'T SUCH FUCKING GIANT REDWOODS. THESE BABIES ARE GOING TO BE HUGE.

YOU WON'T MAKE THEM STOP HURTING ME. YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT HOW IT FEELS TO TRY TO PUSH A WATERMELON OUT THROUGH AN OPENING THE SIZE OF YOUR PINKY.

YOU ARE JUST ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY USELESS TO KNOW WHAT NEVER MIND FORGET IT .

WHERE'S MY ERIC? IF YOU WON'T MAKE THEM STOP MAYBE HE WILL. ERIC? ERIC? ! DAMMIT ERIC GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE RIGHT NOW.

YOU HAD BETTER MAKE YOUR BABIES BEHAVE AND STOP HURTING ME OR YOU WON'T EVER SEE MY HOOTCHIE AGAIN!

DO YOU HEAR ME VIKING. ERIC! ERIC?! DAMMIT QUIT HIDING FROM ME YOU OVERGROWN VAMPIRE VIKING A HOLE! MAKE THEM STOP. OOOOOWWWWWWWWW!"

Aw hell! I feel something wet on my leg. Shit shit shit! I holler for Ames to grab some sheets to change the bed. When I pick her up she growls at me. God help me. What the fuck is keeping Eric.

As I lay her down I see Eric approach. Finally.

She grabs my hand breaking several if not all my fingers as a really hard contraction starts. Crying out as I wince out.

" Tinker bug breathe. Hee hee ho hee hee ho. Breath through the pain. Your doing great. Just a little longer..."

I watch the monitor closely helping her breath just like the Doc showed me. When she takes her cleansing breath. You don't have to be telepathic to know how pissed she is when she throws the ice chips again. She hisses out.

" No I want some damn pain killers. Lots and lots of drugs. I want your and Eric's dicks on a pike. I want the babies to come out and not have to suffer..."

I catch Eric out of the corner of my eye cringe at the impaling our dicks on a pike comment. If I wasn't scared shitless at her making her threats come true I'd laugh my ass off at the look on Eric's face.

I don't think I have ever heard her curse as much in her entire life as I have heard come out of that mouth since her hormones went haywire.

I feel her belly tense as the needle starts to move on the monitor. She squeezes my hand re breaking my fingers again.

As I help her with her breathing Eric sits behind her and rubs her back then wipes the sweat from her face. As bad as she's hurting and as mean as she's been she is still beautiful.

Between the cursing and snarky snide comments arguing with Eric. She accuses him of lying cheating and being a general asshole.

I personally don't see how in the hell he's even had time to cheat. I mean shit she would have known that shit right away. For that damn matter I would have smelled it.

I stopped trying to interrupt her. My hand hurts bad enough. I need everything else attached and unharmed. Threats are one thing but the closer to delivery the more I think she'll make good on her threats.

Every time he tries to say something even apologize she bitches him out. When he backtracks she seems to get even more pissed off. Hell she seems to be getting worse. Fuck I wish the Doc could have found something that she could take to calm her ass down.

I can hear the pops announcing the fairies arrivals. I glance up in time to see Gran's smile falter and that look of you are in deep trouble take over her face.

At hearing her her full name cross Gran's displeased lips in a voice that you did not reply to. I hear and see Sookie cringe and whimper.

She look like a scolded puppy would at having a rolled up news paper waved in their face. Gran was always good and putting you in your place. I was on the receiving end of that face more often than I cared to be.

When she berates Sookie chewing her a new asshole, I am real careful not to show how relieved I am that Gran's here. I don't want to piss either of them off. Tinker bug might actually be less bitchy now.

At the very least the threats to my body parts will cease. When she fucking cries softly as she apologizes to us, after letting go of my hand,. I bend over a kiss her temple as I wipe away her tears and rub her belly. I murmur.

" I know Tinker bug. I love you. No matter what. I only wish that we could aleviate the pain for you somehow."

I slip her some ice chips when I hear Godric chuckle as he comes over and then proceeds to glamor her with a suggestion type trance that makes it easy to reverse once she has had the babies.

Thank fucking God. Or well anyone else who's listening up there too. My girl won't be in pain any more.

I listen and look around for the first time since Eric came over. I notice that both Pam and Janice are laughing their asses off. Well hell looks like Godric glamored them all. I look back over to see Janice baring down when I hear her grunt out a loud snort. Shit way more than I wanted to fucking see.

I look over then to see Pam fucking smiling.

Holy fucking hell I think I must be fucking dreaming. Either that or we have been transported to the god damn twilight zone. Pam hasn't fucking smiled in weeks.

This is the most fucking docile these three have been in weeks... hell months. Shit why the fuck didn't he fucking do this shit weeks ago. We could have all been spared living in hell.

When her first contraction hits after Godric did his thing. I was fucking amazed. The difference between her attitude is night and day to all her previous contractions.

I hope like hell it sticks. If we go through with having more kids. I'm going to fucking insist Godric glamor her. Daily if necessary.

Looking down on my mate as the Doctor examines her and give us our final instructions I am blown away by what I see. She is still the most beautiful woman I have ever seen even though I know she wouldn't agree with me right now. But then again that's just the way she is.

I still can't believe that all this is happening. I had long since accepted that I wouldn't ever have a cub of my own.

I feel her tense as another contraction starts. I breath with her through it and sure enough she giggles the whole damn time. Yep like this Sook way better. Much less terrifying.

Laying her down I give her a few ice chips to keep her mouth moist. I rub her shoulders. I can tell by the tense look on Eric, he can feel her pain. I lean in and say.

" You my beautiful are doing much better. I am so glad that it worked. I hate to see you hurt even if you can handle it.

Call me a stubborn or pigheaded what ever you want to but it hurts me to see you in pain. If I haven't told you lately that I love you then I'm sorry. You should be told that at least hourly."

I feel her contraction begin again. As she smile and laughs through it, Eric though is showing concern and worry. I check the monitor and I don't see any difference in the intensity of the contractions.

It doesn't take long to realize he's worried about what he feels through the bond. I knew he was pulling pain from her and monitoring her pain level with his blood.

But I had no fucking idea that he could feel so much even the need to push. Damn I'm so glad he's the one to monitor the bond.

We giggle our way through several more contractions. Each of us laughing right along with her. When I hear Ames say.

" Okay Sook you're crowning. It's go time guys. Count to 10 push 20 off then 10 push again then you guys catch your breath while I reassess."

At her next contraction I pull her up with Eric's help as she gets in a sitting position. She giggle snorts as she pushes while I count down.

" OK ready push for ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT, NINE, TEN, relax ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT, NINE, TEN, ELEVEN, TWELVE, THIRTEEN, FOURTEEN, FIFTEEN, SIXTEEN, SEVENTEEN, EIGHTEEN, NINETEEN, TWENTY push ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT, NINE, TEN, rest you did great."

She moaned and giggled till Tori Lee Elizabeth Herveaux-Northman arrived. Our little princess was the spitting image of Eric and Sook.

But she has her mothers stubborn personality already. Refusing to cry no matter what Ames did. She just whimpered and growled as I counted ten perfect little toes and fingers on my perfect little girl. A true beauty like her Mother.

I watched Eric's eyes follow her Aunt as she carried our daughter to be cleaned and checked. He even growled a little.

I heard a yelp from across the room. Looking quickly I smiled at my sister and brother at the arrival of Jason Joseph Stackhouse-Brigant.

As I hear Ames voice we start all over again and soon our Love blesses us again with our son hollering his way out of his Mom.

Sebastian Earl has mine and Sookie's features but definitely Eric's body style. Long and lean with all his fingers and toes. And all three legs. One hell of a handsome boy.

As Quinn scooped up our boy I heard the monitor go off and Sookie grunt out.

" I can't I'm too tired. I need time to rest. Ugh! You damn Herveaux- Northman men are impatient little butts. "

We both smiled as we got her into position. I continued to count down for her as Eric sent her strength and helped her push.

Johann Zander was in a hurry to greet us apparently. He wasted no time in coming out and announcing himself to the whole room.

My son has a strong set of lungs on him. He resembles me a little more than his brother does. But you can see Sookie's lips and chin proudly displayed as we cut his cord and count ten little fingers and ten little toes and one two three yep. Now that's my Boy!

I watch Lala as he carried Jo over to Claude. I smile as he wails all the way there and at getting wiped down only to hush as Gran goes over and coo's at him as Aley picks him up. Already a ladies man.

I hear another loud laugh as Pam has her first girl Coribeth Marilyn. You can tell by the scowl already attached to her adorable little face who this baby girl will take after.

I hear Janice crying. When I look over I can see they're happy tears. I watch as Jason holds Anthony Jeffrey. He looks just like JC did when he was born.

I heard Pam shout as Catherine Lizettee was announcing herself. Crying loudest to be heard over her brother. Their already competing with each other. She is truly Pam's daughter

As the minutes pass I get more and more worried about our youngest. Her heartbeat is just as strong as ever. Sookie has been laying here with her eyes closed. Giggling every few minutes.

Finally Ames goes and gets Dr. Ludwig. Poor Sookie is so tired that she just doesn't seem to have it in her to push any more.

The Doctor verifies she's turned the right way as Eric pushes on Sook's belly every time he feels her need to push to coax Little Mel down the birth canal.

Soon Ludwig has the forceps out and I lift a nearly lifeless Sookie up as I encourage her to push as hard as she can as Eric continues to help her push and Ludwig pulls with the forceps.

Melikia Anna is by far the smallest baby I have ever seen. Tiny like her Momma. We should have known she would be the stubborn one just like Eric.

She came out in her own sweet time, quiet with a smile for her Dads. As we cut her cord I felt it. Remembered what Piathia had said.

" She will return to you. She is your soul mate. Such an old soul is she."

My smile hasn't left my face since my little ones started coming into this world. I just can't believe it. I'm a DAD!

BIRTHDAYS GALORE

EPOV

I'd like to say that since the coronation life has gotten better, safer, and easier. Only in the loosest sense of those words is that even close to being true.

Granted Alc had his fight with Norris who was supposed to already be dead. Something that I will look into at a later date.

But Alc damn him, at the time I wanted to kill him when he hurt our mate. Hearing his thoughts screaming at me did not help me at staying calm what so ever.

But after thinking about it and replaying everything. He did better than I would have given the circumstances we we're in.

He restrained himself quite well. I have heard of the women who were brought in to be mated with, end up being killed after a fight between weres with that much bad blood.

Godric and I both had a lot of fun at the FOTS expense. Not that I would admit to anything but well let's just say I haven't had this much fun since the humans started documenting historical events.

Of course after the fourth time of sending them false information, and watching them make fools of them selves. Godric decided that we should be more careful how we set them up.

Newlin was getting desperate and we all know what happens when someone gets desperate. Godric did not want to feel responsible for any human casualty.

Especially after he shot at the Mayor's wife. If Newlin decided to start delivering on his threats of death and bombings to all who converse and tolerate the demon spawn, we will all be in a world of hurt. I however wanted to continue to make a fool of Newlin in front of his human peers and of course the news media.

They were always so helpful. Nothing like owning your own news channel. Not to mention several companies that will do whatever you say when you say.

No one will ever say having a CEO willing to jump thru hoops isn't entertaining. It really is, especially when Newlin is the surprise guest speaker.

Not that he knew that though. I doubt he would have gone in guns blazing if he had known. Oh well my bad. My only regret was ruining their Christmas party.

I stopped fucking with Newlin after that. That Dr. Ludwig had said their hormones would likely get worse the closer they get to delivery.

If they get much worse there won't be anyone left speaking to them, much less living with them. As it is they don't go out anymore.

They say it's because everyone makes fun of them. Thing is as much as I wanted to kill the offenders for making fun of my lover, she was acting crazy.

She was very hormonal but didn't appear pregnant. What did she expect the vermin to say? You can't go up to someone who thinks you're fat and bitch them out for it.

Pam had to be commanded not to drain one vermin for calling her cranky. When they all three went after Thalia we left.

Even I didn't want to see what Thalia would do to the vermin after my mate and her hormonal sisters, lit into her for growling at a man who got too close.

Even my balls aren't that big. The Goddesses must use pregnancy hormones as a punishment for all men just for being men.

Seriously, my master has had to command me twice in the last week not to speak my mind to them at how irrational they are all being.

I can understand that their body and every fiber of their being is going through a change at an accelerated rate.

But why for the love of Odin is it my fault that they're all acting as though they lost any common sense or the capability of being rational or even sane at any given time.

Everything is done either to excess or fought over till no ones happy and speaking to each other. I really feel for the females here.

They are getting trashed for being female. Two of which will never have children but are still subjected to the hormonal out bursts.

I now understand why the men in my village left pregnancy, and birthing solely to the women to handle by themselves.

We tried to not interfere with them once they were with child until after the child was born. I always thought it was to insure the baby's health. Now I'm not so sure.

Jason that poor bastard has it double. I had to hide all the weapons and command Pamela not to purchase anymore weapons or use them to hurt any one until after she regained control of all her faculties.

She cried that I didn't love her or I would beat Jason to a bloody pulp for just being a man. I have had to put out more than one fire between Aley and the girls.

Aley loves to tease and see how far she can push but if she keeps it up I won't be able to save her from all three of them.

It has gotten so bad that I look forward to court and state work, just so that I have the excuse to not be here caught in the crossfire.

I remember that my father and I went a viking when my mother was pregnant with my sister. Though somehow I don't think she was this bad. At least I hope not.

I have watched each of the men living here be ripped a new asshole for no reason. Only to have to spend hours to days listening to the women cry or apologize.

I have wanted to kill Alc on more than one occasion. It seems he is always missing when the woman's hormones choose to erupt.

Hell most of the men including Godric seem to be hiding at times. I thought I was going to have to separate my mate and Godric when she lay into him.

In all the time I've known him I have never heard anyone human or supe speak to him like that and live to see the next day.

The other women have it as bad as we do because they get ridiculed for not being pregnant. They don't know how tough it is.

They have been threatened to be ended for just being skinny. Godric sent CC to NOLA for two days to handle a state concern.( she escaped my Sookie's wrath.)

I was all packed and set to go. But no that would have apparently been read as abandonment by my Sookie. She cried for three hours until I told her I wasn't going.

She felt so guilty that I stayed for her, and cried for another three hours. I can't win no matter what I do or say it seems.

No matter how much or how little Alc hides from her wrath. He never seems to get attacked by her roller coaster ride of hormones. This is just not fucking fair.

My lover's powers are getting almost too strong. I have found guards and even the servants upstairs as well as our family, suspended in mid air or held to the ceiling unable to move or scream.

Needless to say we have lost quite a few guards and servants. I can't even blame them. Who wants to be tossed to the ceiling and frozen there for no reason. ( in their minds anyway)

It's not like we advertised our powers or well we aren't supposed to. Apparently that doesn't apply when someone thinks badly of you.

When it first happened I questioned my Sookie about it and found myself pressed against the ceiling unable to move.

Thank the Gods that Godric came in at that precise moment and diverted her attention while diffusing the situation and getting her to release me.

Thing is she is never any where near them now when we find them. Gods be praised that Jason has now learned the power to reverse hers.

All though he's been harder and harder to find lately since Janice started carrying a huge stick around with her.

All three have tried all of our patience bringing some past the breaking point with each passing day only to cry out an apology and ask that we ignore their hormones.

I am not sure how much longer I can take it. What scares me the most is that we will go through this at least 3 more times according to Alc's dream.

Why any sane man or supe for that matter would willing go through this more than once is beyond me. They deserve a medal for surviving the pregnancy.

It truly amazes me that every man or supe who survives pregnancy hasn't gone bald headed, or isn't drooling in some corner mumbling to themselves about hormones.

I almost laughed when Alc approached me a week ago and asked me to monitor her when the time comes, the poor prick was freaking out after being pressed to the ceiling all morning.

He knew I had never witnessed a live birth in my 1200+ years. So when he cornered me and pressured me into agreeing to be there with her during their births, I was impressed.

If I didn't know better I would have thought he has been taking lessons on how to manipulate me from my children and master.

I have gone over that conversation in my head countless times. The more I replay it the more I think Alc is trying to insure I do all the work.

That won't be happening. I watched several movies like 'what to expect when you're expecting.', and we are all equal partners it this. He's gonna pull his weight just like me.

After all if she is going to be as they say a pain in my ass then he can very well share in that pain with me. I wasn't born last century after all.

I have been downloading as much of their hormonal out bursts that has been recorded. I have every intention of showing them just how crazy they have been.

Of course I'll wait until I know for sure that they are back to their normal selves first. I hope that by showing them this it will help them with the rest of the pregnancies we will go through.

I shut down my computer and leave all my paperwork to finish later as I head up stairs to my mates. Just before I head down the hall I hear Godric's soft voice as he starts.

" I didn't want to bring this to you with everything you have going on at this time. But I feel that it is imperative that you, as the king know what is occurring in your Kingdom."

I look at him to continue. He has a look that I have never seen on his face. His eyes show his age and his wariness and caution as he continues.

"My child, we have a real problem that involves several states and missing vampires from last night or today. At first it was thought to be a mixture of draining s and runaways.

But the circumstances are too similar to not viewed as a threat to our kind. They appear to all be young vampires with no makers or have been released.

A few entire nests have been taken. All have disappeared during the early morning and throughout the daytime leaving no trace behind.

At first when I contacted the monarchs of the surrounding states, they too had dismissed them as draining s or runaways.

Once I informed them of ours and the others they were alarmed that so many were missing. Eric there are 97 missing vampires in 11 states.

In your 3 states alone 39 are missing. We do not know at this time how many if any have met the true death. But the numbers are alarming.

I took the liberty of having Quinn coordinate the were packs with the sheriffs in each area to search for any clue as to who might have them if they are still alive.

The sheriffs have been told to check on each vampire in their charge once at sunset and again at dawn and to know where they are resting.

We have informed each sheriff to go to ground in a different place each and every night until further notice. They are to provide assistance to those who need it.

If the vampires do not have the money for several safe houses they will be encouraged to seek shelter with were packs who can defend them if necessary.

The Monarchs and Pathia will be here day after tomorrow night to meet with you and to see if we know anything new or a way to help.

I have requested the weres infiltrate the Newlins church. To try and sniff out anything amiss. If Orrian is helping them to kidnap the Vampires we only have a short time to get them back.

Hopefully they are feeding them or at least they were well fed when they were taken. If not it won't matter who took them or who has them.

If one baby vampire doesn't get fed and drains another vampire it will cause a war we won't be able to cover up. A vampire high on another vampires blood is disastrous.

With that many young lings gathered in one place blood lust would run rampant. We have at best four or five nights to get them all back or face a war we will not win or recover from.

The last time war broke out between the humans and the supes we almost wiped out each other. As it was, entire species were wiped out of existence. Human and supe alike.

I was only forty vampire years old when it happened. Most thought that the Gods were angered with them and sent us to kill them.

It was then that I learned to bury myself in the bottom of the rivers and side of mountains. The humans were primitive but scared and smart enough to learn and adapt.

When they learned we couldn't be in the sun they would dig us up. When they learned a stake would kill any of us. They would stab spears into the ground.

The only difference between now and then is there are more humans and they have a lot more resources and technology at their disposal.

I will keep you appraised of the situation. If you have any further suggestions please notify King Stan of Texas or myself.

Let Alc know that he may need to command all the unwilling weres under his command to assist us until the threat has been eliminated.

None of our spies have any knowledge of the missing vampires. Newlin was released two days ago. If this is him then he is not telling any of those in his chain of command.

I fear that we may have pushed him too far. He has become increasingly violent over the last few weeks. I will let you know of anything new."

This is not what we need right now. I turn and walk away from him with out another word. I walk past Pam's room when I here her growl.

I do not know what he has done now but he had better not faze out on her. She has a memory like a vault. She will remember everything he's done and take her revenge later.

As I close the door I can see Sookie wiggling in her sleep as Alc is on his side snoring as the babies kick his back.

I slip into bed behind her as she sighs and Alc rolls over shifting her closer to me. I love my mates more than I thought I would ever be capable of.

Even though we have abstained from having sex since shortly after Thanksgiving. She said it made her too uncomfortable for any position that we tried.

We both knew it wasn't the whole truth but we didn't press her. Even Alc and I have chosen not to partake in our own pleasures. Even when she insisted that she wanted us to.

Most of our time now spent in bed seems to be well choreographed movements to keep her comfortable. She needs at least one of us just to help her to roll over these days.

Alc though he is bigger chest wise than me is apparently softer than my rock hard pecks and abs. Her words. Just as I give better back rubs apparently, and he's better at belly rubs.

I have been checking her periodically since the last check up when Ludwig said she was dilated to two and could go at any time.

It took Janice to explain what the hell that troll meant. She is the most insufferable being. It is as if she lives to aggravate and confuse me to no end at each visit.

I spent five hours on the internet reading up on what a mucus plug was and why my lover would need to lose one. I saw far more than I ever wanted to.

I now wish I had not promised to be there for them both. This may be totally natural and happens multiple times a day, but not to me it hasn't.

I woke up to My lover wiggling again. As of late she never seems to be able to get comfortable or stay that way for long.

I feel the babies moving more than usual. I feel her tense in her back. I make a fist rubbing with the right amount of pressure just in line with her hips below her tailbone. I hear her purr out.

" Mmm I'm sooo glad you are awake viking. Your babies don't seem to want to let me sleep much. All they seem to want to do is play.

They have been kicking the crap out of Bear's back for at least two hours now. Every time one settles down the others seem to wake him/her back up.

I swear they're using his back as a spring board to see how far they can jump around. I don't see how he can still be asleep with all their kicking."

I smile at my lover. She seems content just uncomfortable, which she has been for weeks now. I chuckle out,

"He does sleep soundly. I can remember during his college years being hell to wake up to let me out so he could lock up just before dawn.

I used to tease him that it was easier to wake the dead than him. He would always grunt and just rollover. I often wondered if that was normal or just him.

That is until I met your brother at the house. I would have sworn Alc had a problem waking. I went over two nights in a row and you brother was face down on a couch in the same position and the same clothes both nights.

I was curious enough to ask if he had even moved. I would have thought him dead if I couldn't hear his heart beating.

Alc and Quinn both said that was normal for him. I was surprised to say the least when he got up and walked to his room still snoring only to come out a half an hour later wide awake."

I rub her belly and then go back to rubbing her back as she says.

"You think he's a sound sleeper now it's nothing compared to when he was a teenager. I thought him and Jason were having sleeping contests.

You know to see who can sleep the longest and the soundest. My Gran used to say a nuclear bomb could go off next to them and neither of them would stir enough to roll over.

But you stick Grans biscuit and gravy under their noses and they would be wide awake in seconds.(laughing) Only to pass out from eating themselves into a food coma. Those two have slept enough to be caught up till the year 2250.

I swear I don't know how Gran did it sometimes with all us kids. She took in any and all who needed her and a place to stay.

When I told her that I could sleep better around Alc and Janice than alone. She never batted an eyelash that her ten year old granddaughter wanted to sleep with a fourteen year old boy.

She knew just how hard it was for me. When Jason found out that Gran was letting them sleep with me he threw a hissy fit that he wasn't included.

He knew why they were sleeping with me but he still felt left out. It took Janice going in there and sleeping with him... that pervert. Oooh just you wait... "

Kissing the top of her head I laugh at her brother's teenage hormones as she shifts again tugging on Alc's side to get him to roll over. I laugh as she snickers.

"Roll over Bear the babies need their pillow so they'll go to sleep. Momma wants to rest for a while too. I swear he's like having a trained lap dog in your bed .

You say move, and he complies without ever waking. Just you wait till he's on night shift for feedings. The way he sleeps he's gonna have to stay up all night just so he's awake to hear them.

It won't be long now and those babies will have him well trained. He's already spoiling them rotten with what he's bought them. You haven't been any better.

If we're going to have any chance of disciplining our babies through positive rewards then you both will have to stop with the spoiling. Ugh help me roll him over."

I check her and she still feels uncomfortable. But I sense no pain from her. I whisper to her,

" I am sorry that they are keeping you awake my love. Soon this will all be just a memory. They will be out and wiggling in their own cribs. You will be able to get a full night sleep once again."

I pull on his arm to start him moving. Alc rolls over getting into position so that Sookie can rest. He must have still heard us talking I hear Alc mumble out.

" That's okay babies. It doesn't hurt Daddy. Play if you want to."

I laugh at him, he's still so out of it. His eyes are barely open, he looks more like someone fighting sleep than trying to wake up. She just winks at me as she giggles out.

"Bear. Where you been? The babies have been really active this morning and you've been somewhere else. I told Eric I don't think it'll be long..."

If I couldn't read expressions or feelings I still would have known that she just freaked him out. Panic was written all over his face.

I felt her tense at his quick succession of questions. None of which were even a complete sentence. I notice his eyes widen when another contraction starts.

She is either still not feeling any real pain or she's really good at hiding it. I try to levy a joke to get him to calm down when I feel my masters call.

Apparently I pissed off Sookie . It wasn't my intention so I try to apologize. Only to have Alc start in with his questions again.

I feel her tense again and this one is sooner and stronger than the previous ones. Checking the bond I detect a tiny amount of pain, but it is gone before I can zero in on it.

I feel my masters call again along with Pam's pain and worry. Repeating what I had heard to make sure it was correct was met with a mirage of emotions from my tiny warrior princess.

As she admits to her contractions I am hit with my masters call with curiosity, and concern. Just as Aley's call comes to me urgent and full of distress.

But I get a sharp pain and anger with hurt and fearfulness call from Pam. It is so overwhelming that I try to get up to go to them only to find I am being held in place.

The urge to go to my children is getting stronger. I feel her sudden pain as if it was my own. I try not to sound accusatory or even upset when I ask her.

" My lover why are you holding me still and I am not wrapped around anyone's little fingers. Now will you please quit trying to ignore our questions and answer them?"

Apparently I pissed her off. It was getting harder and harder to stay in the here and now with so many pulls. I felt like I was having what humans would call a panic attack.

I try once again to get her to answer our questions all while Alc lays there acting like a mime afraid of his own shadow.

Growling at the pressure building as their calls continue to go unanswered. My patience is all but gone when I spring from the bed as she releases me.

I can feel her contractions getting stronger and closer together. I know that Pam must be in labor too from her growing call to me. I feel like a caged lion pacing the room. I promised to stay by my lovers side. But my children and makers call are crippling me.

I can barely contain myself and not pop to their side when Pam and Aley both send me fear with their call. The only thing to stop me is her sharp pain and the sudden need I feel from Sookie.

I am on my knees pushing calm while trying to pull as much pain from her as possible. She admits to her contractions as I feel Godric release my makers call to him.

I feel Pam's panic and pain at the same time as Alc stares at me as if I should have all the answers. The need to get to Pam and Aley is still getting stronger and harder to ignore.

Alc picks this time to try and bail on our lover. As I argue with him as who is to stay I can feel her contractions as if I was having them.

I am way to close to my lover and bound to tightly to have our bond this open to be of any use to anyone. I am having a hard time trying to pull her pain away.

At this point I would be willing to chew off my own dick if it would get me far enough away to dampen the bond enough to be in some control.

Not to mention the overwhelming urge I am getting to heed my children's call. Something is going to have to give and soon.

If vampires could get headaches I am sure this would be a migraine. When I feel amusement, comfort and mischief from Godric's side of the bond I know once again Aley has pushed her sister too far. Some how I know he is involved. As my lovers continue to argue.

I can only hope that his grandchildren ' min barns' as he calls them will be a pain in his ass daily. I am saved by none other than her brother.

I am pleased to know that ,that infuriating troll of a Doctor is here. As soon as Jason pisses his sister off for the last time. I dampen my bonds with my children.

I grab him and pop to the birthing room. I close my bond with Sookie as I see exactly why they were both calling to me as well as my masters amusement.

Pam has Aley pinned to the ceiling zapping her while fire drips from Aley's fingertips. Poor Frann and Amelia are left hopping around putting out the fires.

As soon as she spots Jason he's up there right next to Aley. I can feel her pain and her fear as if it were my own. She is growling and crying through the pain.

I see Tara go to strap the fetal monitor on her as she throws her across the room. I pop in front of her catching her just before she crashes into the wall.

We had discussed this some and she had promised to not take her pain out on the family. She wasn't hormonal yet though.

I go over to restrain her and command her to behave if necessary. When I touch her she throws me into the wall, stunning me for a second.

When I stand up shaking off the drywall I vamp over to her grabbing her wrists just as my maker and CC go to the ceiling. I have had enough of her hormonal childish behavior.

I have tried to be patient, understanding even going so far as to listen to her constant bitching and not gripe at her. But no more. I growl out.

" Pamela, you will release everyone from the ceiling. We are here to help you. I know you are in pain but that does not mean you can punish everyone who tries to help you.

Pamela I didn't want to do this but you are forcing my hand. From this moment until the babies are two days old I release you to Godric's command.

He will be your master. You will heed to his call, command and order. You will be under his complete control to do as he sees fit.

I love you my child but you need more than I can give you. Once the babies are two days old you will become my child again and will no longer be Godrics."

It pains me to see her hurt face. The shock on Aleys face betrays that they never thought I would go through with it.

What neither of them know is my master is much more powerful than any vampire I have ever known. He can glamor other vampires and supes that are younger than him.

He was very surprised when he glamored a vampire into not killing me after I stole his meal and fuck toy for the night.

It has taken him over two hundred years to perfect his glamor so that the supes do not know what he is doing to the one he's glamoring.

When he had suggested this if she wouldn't comply with my commands, he knew I would never force her into compliance knowing that it was only her hormones to cause her to rebel.

We had even kicked around the idea of glamoring all the girls into being not so hormonal but that was shot down when Sookie broke through his glamor on the humans.

I am still hopeful that he will be able to glamor her enough to take away some of her pain during childbirth.

After watching my master command her release everyone. He softly glamored her to only feel tickled during a contraction. Pam was like a different person once she no longer was in pain.

I heard her say.

" I am so sorry for being a bitch. I didn't realize that it would hurt so much. I mean they all tried to explain it to me but well I guess when that part hasn't worked in such a long time.

You can imagine how terrifying it is for it to suddenly be hurting from the inside out. The pain is nothing like what I have ever felt in either life.

I am so sorry Jason for lashing out at you even if it was your fault for knocking up the only female vampire in existence. And now to be able to give birth, it is a gift I will always cherish.

After all it is something that I can do and Aley can't. Which will make me the better..."

Even under Godric's command and glamor Pam is still Pam. Snarky as ever and always looking to one up her sister. Somethings will never change.

I take a deep breath and adjust my bond with Sookie so that I will be of some use. I can hear Janice crying as everyone is doing their jobs.

I am about to pop to our room to check on them when I here her screaming. I whirl around to see my lover sling a cup of ice at Amelia's head.

Alc winces as she has his hand in a death grip. I did not realize that she had progressed this far. To say she was getting as bad as Pam would be close to accurate.

I start to pull as much pain from her as I can when I hear her scream out.

"DAMMIT IT HURTS YOU ARE SO NOT HELPING ME. YOU ARE AN ASS IF YOU THINK I'LL EVER LET YOU NEAR ME AGAIN.

IT WOULDN'T HURT SO FREAKING MUCH IF Y'ALL WEREN'T SUCH FUCKING GIANT BABIES ARE GOING TO BE HUGE.

YOU WON'T MAKE THEM STOP HURTING ME. YOU DON'T CARE HOW IT FEELS TO PUSH A WATERMELON OUT OF THE OPENING THE SIZE OF YOUR PINKEY.

YOU ARE JUST ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY USELESS TO KNOW WHAT NEVERMIND FORGET IT.

WHERE'S MY ERIC? IF YOU WONT MAKE THEM STOP MAYBE HE WILL. ERIC? ERIC?!DAMMIT ERIC GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE RIGHT NOW.

YOU HAD BETTER MAKE YOUR BABIES BEHAVE AND STOP HURTING ME OR YOU WON'T EVER SEE NY HOOTCHIE AGAIN.

DO YOU HEAR ME VIKING. ERIC? ERIC?! DAMMIT QUIT HIDING FROM ME YOU OVERGROWN VAMPIRE VIKING A HOLE! MAKE THEM STOP. OOOOOWWWWWWWWW!"

I pull even more of her contraction and pain as I walk over there. He wipes her brow and puts pressure on her back when I hear Alc wince in pain as he tells her.

" Tinker bug breathe. Hee hee ho , hee hee ho. Breathe through the pain. You are doing great. Just a little longer. Hee hee ho hee hee ho.

Great now take a deep cleansing breath and let it out. You did great Tinker bug. Do you want me to get you come ice chips?"

I move over behind her and watch her as she growls at him.

" No. I want some damn pain killers, lots and lots of drugs. I want yours and Eric's dicks on a pike. I want the babies to come out and not have to suffer.

You won't make them stop hurting me Eric's hiding from me. It is just so unfair that I have four gigantic fetuses in me and they get to have normal regular size babies.

If you two think for one second I am ever letting you near me again. You will both be missing some limbs. OOOOOWWWWWWWWW."

That was much stronger than the last one. It is all I can do to stay upright and not moan out in pain. I take over rubbing her lower back as Alc looks at a monitor and murmurs.

" Here comes another one. They seem to be getting stronger. Breathe... "

Even I knew that with out the bond or monitor. If looks were anything to go by I 'd say he would definitely be pressed against the ceiling. She sneers at him.

" No shit Sherlock. Shut up ass wipe. God I hate men so much. Finally decide to join us, grace us with your presence Eric. UNGH OOWWW OOOOOWWWWWWWWW"

What did I do now. All I was trying to do is help calm everyone and ease her pain. I must remain calm though. It will only make it worse to get upset. I start to explain.

" My lover I have not been far. I was just helping..."

Oh Gods give me the strength to not run out of here screaming at her interrupting me again. I know she does not mean it. I know that she... to hell with it. I just listen as she gripes.

" Oh shut up you lying, cheating ass. God if you don't get them out soon. Ungh. Aaawww ooooOWWWWWWWWW!"

Now I'm cheating. How? For the love of Odin... I sigh as I take a breath I don't need and continue to explain.

"Please my lover, I am trying to take as much pain from you as I can..."

I can't talk long enough to explain with out getting interrupted. Please Isis tell me why am I even here as Alc instructs.

"Breath Tinker bug. Hee hee ho. Hee hee ho. Ahhh. Good again..."

I can feel how much pain she is in as she growls out.

" Oh shut up both of you. Mmm awwww oooommm uunnngggghhhh."

Well at least he's finally getting berated with me. I roll my fists on either side of her spine trying to alleviate some of her pain. I am almost afraid to say anything to her for fear of my temper getting the better of me. But I try again.

My lover please you have to know that we don't like to see you in pai..."

By the Gods we will not be going through this again ever. I hear Alc wince again. She still hasn't let go of his hand even though you can clearly tell it is broken. She starts whining.

" Fine you don't want to see me in pain then go somewhere else. Cause I sure the hell can't move and since I'm the one in pain, just leave both of you.

Both you ass holes don't give a damn about me. I'm in this mess cause neither one of y'all could keep your dicks to yourself. You just..."

I see several fairies pop in when I her my lovers full name. The woman yells as my lover flinches and whimpers.

" SOOKIE STACKHOUSE BRIGANT HERVEAUX-NORTHMAN Language. I taught you better than that.

You need to get you head out of your backside and start acting like I raised you . Use the sense God gave you. You are not the first to give birth nor will you be the last.

Most women not only give birth with out any medical help or family support around them. There are those that become single parents.

The way you are acting now is not the way that you were raised. Let go of poor Alc's hand child you've broken every finger in that poor boy's hand.

You have two wonderful mates trying their best to keep you happy and comfortable. And from what I have seen and heard you have been terrorizing both your mates and your family.

You know that they love you more than anything. I know that it pains them to see you hurting. They feel helpless and you belittling them is just hurtful.

Now, I can't wait to see my Great grand babies. We're going to go and say hello to Jason, and then I'm going to give a talking to, to Janice and Pam as well as the others.

You know how much I love you and how proud I am of you. That will never change my darling girl. We'll see you in a bit."

Ah this must be the infamous Gran. I can see where my lover gets her spunk. I can also see how Adele was able to put up with so much. She shows no fear and speaks her mind.

I hear my lover whimper and sniffle at her remarks. Well shit. Now here come the water works as well as her remorse as she says.

" Sorry Gran. I'll do better I promise. I love you. Y'all know it's just the pain talking you guys. I do love you both so much. (sniff)Why are they laughing? Why aren't they in pain?"

I feel my makers amusement at what has been happening. He always loved to watch me suffer at the hands of the fairer sex when there was nothing I could do about it.

I know he has heard every word that has been said. I only hope that he will offer to try and help my lover with her pains as he did for Pam and Janice. He chuckles out as he explains.

" Little one, it is not known what I am about to say. I can glamor Supes and vampires that are younger than me. I did not know I could until recently.

It is not the same glamor as with humans. I can not take away memories. Nor can I create something that was not there.

With your permission I would like to try to glamor you to help you with your pain. Your mind must remain open to me as if you are sending me your thoughts.

Keep your mind on your pain. How it feels. How your body responds to it. What will be the end result of your contractions.

Now play these on a continues loop in your mind. Good. Relax. Keep your mind open to me Sookie and breathe. Concentrate on my mind.

Each time you start to feel a contraction start, instead of the pain you would feel. it will now register in your mind as you being tickled.

You won't feel the intensity of the pressure or pain of your contraction. Just tickling throughout the contraction. Your mind will registrar the contraction just not the pain.

As you begin to want to push you will still feel the urge to push but you will not feel the pain or pressure only the feel of dozens of feathers tickling you.

When you hear the word crowning and you feel the need to push you will allow your mates to help you as you push. You will not feel pain only the need to push.

Once the last child is born you will feel the relief of birth but you will not remember any pain, pressure, any discomfort, or the feeling of being tickled as you heal.

Once you have healed, you will once again feel pain, pressure, and discomfort as you always have. You will remember giving birth and all associated with it.

But you will not remember my helping you or of me being capable of glamoring you or other Supes and vampires."

I watch as my lover visibly relaxes. With a smile on her face Alc gives her a spoonful of ice as he monitors the machine. I can hear the other girls laughing and giggling through a contraction.

I feel Sookie's body tense at the onset of another contraction. I hear the most wonderful sound I have ever heard.

My lover is laughing with tears in her eyes. Even though I still register it as pain. I can feel her elation and relief at only feeling tickled. She giggles out as the Doctor approaches.

" Thank hee hee ha you Godric. Haha. This definitely gives new meaning hahaheeha to the phrase tickled pink."

I help Alc get my lover into position to be examined. She is still laughing and Alc checks the monitor as I check the bond. This is by far the longest contraction she has had.

The troll waits out her contraction staring at my lover with disbelief on her winkled face. As my lover quietens down the Doctor checks her over. Then she says.

"All righty little girl. You are fully dilated and ready to go at any time. Janice is crowning with you not far behind her.

Pam still has a little ways to go yet. As we discussed if you all went at once, Tara, Frannie and Amelia will be the midwives and report to me when you are crowning.

I'll float from patient to patient to assess and help if needed. I've trained them to be able to deliver on their own if I am tied up in a delivery.

Quinn, Layfette, Sam, Aley and CC will take the babies to Claude and Claudine to be cleaned up and checked out by Niall.

Godric is helping Jason and your Gran and Grandaddy Earl will help where needed. The fae will be here for as long as needed.

We have planned for every possible problem, and everyone is doing just fine. All the babies heartbeats are strong and the babies are where we want them to be.

Okay Dads, your job is to keep her as comfortable as possible in between contractions. Amelia will check with each contraction to see if she is crowning.

When she tells you she is crowning on the next contraction you are to help her into position and encourage her to push.

With them all under Godrics glamor we don't know how they will react to pushing. We have practiced what you are to do to help her along.

If she is unable to push find Godric first to bring her out of the glamor. Then you come get me. Don't wait. I will be back shortly."

I watch as my lover is still laughing as Ames gets into place and Alc checks the monitor. As she calms so does the line on the monitor.

I wipe her brow as Alc rubs her belly. I feel the contraction start just as the line starts to jump all around.

Ames checks her and just shakes her head no. But I feel her need to push. I know she isn't but it concerns me non the less.

As the contraction wanes I am curious and I can not contain my concern as I kiss my lovers hand then her temple as I ask.

" My lover, I felt your need to push just then. Yet you didn't. Were you unable to? I am concerned that you did not feel the need to push."

She smiles at me when she replies.

" Well yea I felt like pushing. Kinda like the desire to do something but the urgency of doing it immediately wasn't there. Don't worry sweetie I'll know when to push."

After only eleven more times she was ready to start pushing. I am a viking vampire and I have seen many things. Nothing has scared me like watching my mate give birth.

The pain I felt coming from her was excruciating and it felt like there was no relief in sight. We got her into position. We each had our own job to do.

Alc monitored the machine for any kind of stress as he would hold one of her hands and support her upper back as she pushed with his other hand. He would count down the seconds.

Mine was to monitor our bond for stress, pain and tiredness as I pull as much pain from her as possible. I hold her other hand helping her to push.

Then I will apply pressure to her lower back during the resting phase and keep her as comfortable as possible between pushes. It amazes me just how much of her tiny body is apart of the delivery process.

Even though I couldn't feel the physical delivery. The pain radiating through my body alone has me reanalyzing everything I had thought about childbirth up to this point.

I was wrong men have the easy task. We may have to put up with the hormonal emotions. But to basically grow a child from seed then traumatize your whole body to deliver that child.

There isn't a bone or muscle in her tiny body that isn't tensing or cramping to help push the child from her womb. Even now I feel pain every where.

Her legs hurt from stiffening repeatedly. Her hips feel like there being pulled apart. Her lower back feels like it is in a constant state of cramping with no relief between contractions.

Her stomach feels like someone pulled a string tightening all the muscles a little tighter each time with out releasing the tension from the previous contraction.

Her chest neck and upper back muscles burn with the need to release some tension. Her arms feel like rubber bands that have been pulled to tightly and are about to break.

She is feeling all this almost non stop at this point. I can feel her exhaustion as she bears down once again. Each of us doing our job. But none working harder than my lover.

I feel the tension leave her entire body as I groan in relief when our first child is born. Tori Lee Elizabeth grunts and whimpers her way into this world but refuses to cry.

We both lay our lover down to rest for a bit, then we cut Tori Lee's cord. She is the perfect little angel looking just like her mother. I quickly count all her fingers and toes.

CC sweeps her up to get her cleaned up and it is all I can do not to run after her growling. I look down at my lover as she has her eyes closed resting. I send her all my love and admiration.

I could not have imagined this feeling. I have never felt such a love as I do right now. This gift that we have received is more than joyous I thought it could be.

My child was born and I feel the love, pride and protectiveness of any new father. No matter how long I am on this earth I will never take for granted the gift of my mates or our children that the Gods and Goddess have chosen to bestow upon me after 1200 years.

It seems like no time and my lover is pushing again. I feel just how tired she is and how hard this is becoming for her. Sebastian Earl comes into this world screaming. Unlike his big sister he wants everyone to know he's here. Bas is the perfect reflection of both Alc and Sookie.

Jo didn't want to give his mother any time to rest that his brother had. He was most eager to see everyone. His cries were loud and as strong as any warrior when he joined us with wide open eyes staring us down. Johann Zander is the opposite of his brother in looks but still the perfect mixture of my mates.

I kissed her forehead as her eyes fluttered closed. She was utterly wiped out. I wiped her hair away from her face, and whispered in her ear.

" My lover have I told you that you are the most extraordinary woman. You are beautiful, loving and giving. I love you my wife. Our babies are perfect."

When she graced me with her smile, it was a tired one but beautiful none the less. I was worried when ten minutes had past and my love was showing no signs of needing to push. I could hear little Melikia Anna's heart rate and it was as strong as the rest of our brood.

I didn't want anything to happen to her now that we were so close to her being born. When another ten minutes had passed Amelia, who had delivered the others had became concerned, she went to get the Doctor.

I was terrified as to what could be wrong. I wanted desperately to give her some of my blood to give her strength. But I knew it would also heal her too. There by making her possibly have to have a Cesarian section to retrieve the baby safely.

As the Doctor worked to assess our youngest child's health and position, Sookie was beyond exhausted, she could not move with out help any longer.

Finally with a plan and several pushes on her belly by me with Alc keeping her upright, the baby was in a low enough position of the birth canal that the Doctor used a medieval looking device to extricate our child as I help Sookie push her the rest of the way out. Mel was the opposite of her sister and brothers coming into this world.

Quiet. Stoic even, one could say. With her eyes open she looked directly at both me and Alc and smiled. She had my eyes but she was by far the most like me.

Once we had cut her cord, I lifted her up, just like with her siblings I counted every finger and toe. I kissed her forehead as I welcomed her into our world.

She was the last to be born but it made her no more or no less special. They are all Gifts from the Gods and Goddesses. One that I will cherish always.

Mel is a very old soul. When Godric came over and took her from me, I saw it. Just a flash but it was of the future. Her future. Theirs.

A/N I HOPE YOU ALL LIKED IT. I WILL CONTINUE IN EPOV FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER WE WILL BE MEETING FAMILY AND THE ANCIENT ONE. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK. THANKS
