Chapter 24
"I'm sorry Eric, what did you just say?" Sookie stared at her husband like he just grew an extra nose on his face.
His eyes were still filled with blood tears, he stood to walk away from the others. He needed a moment to process what Johan had just shown him. Sookie followed him. "That baby you were holding was my son Sookie. I saw the mark on his arm, did you see it? My son in my human life was identical to this child in the vision down to that mark. My family believed the mark was our family brand. I told you the son's of my family carried the mark. You've seen mine on my inner thigh, my father's was on his neck, my son in my human life was on his arm like the child you just witnessed through Johan. Even Johan and Enar have one on their backs."
She did see the marks on her sons and on Eric, he had shown them to her before but she just assumed they were birth marks like everyone got. "That is crazy Eric, I can't give birth to a child you and your first wife had over a thousand years ago! Its not possible Eric." She knew many things in their world were possible but this was not. It was not and she would not be convinced otherwise.
"I know what my human son looked like Sookie. I was there when my wife delivered him. I held that child in my arms I know him today as much as I did the day he was born. I watched him grow before I was turned. That baby in your vision looks like my human son." Eric was not going to budge on this and Sookie knew it.
"Ok Eric. I hear what your saying. There has to be a logical explanation to this." What it was she had no idea. Sookie went to stand in front of her husband taking his hand. "We will figure it out Eric. Don't worry ok?" She stood up to kiss him, he nodded to her and went to the restroom.
Sookie went to sit back in her seat. Eric was gone for awhile and was beginning to worry when he finally came out of the restroom to sit back in his seat. He was only seated a few minutes before the pilot told them to prepare for landing.
They were on the ground and were in the cars to head to their home before she knew it, Sookie was relieved. She wanted to try to get some normalcy in her life again and try to get back to a schedule with her children. She needed to figure out what the visions meant and fast.
She absently rubbed Enar's belly while the car was in motion. There was a lot to think about like what was this vision and what did it mean to her family? The car was pulling into the driveway of their home and came to a stop in the front. Her security opened the door and assisted them into the house. She felt like kissing the floor when she walked in the door. The smell of something barbequed made her mouth water instantly. "Sergio." She said out loud and took Enar with her to see what the scent was. He was standing in the kitchen making pulled barbequed pork sandwiches, coleslaw and cornbread. Sookie could have cried. "You are a God Sergio and I don't know if I will live if you ever leave us." He turned with laughter in his eyes and snickered at her. He had plates loaded and headed to the table. She put Enar in his chair and Lily was coming in with Erika and Johan walking behind her. Sookie got her kids in their seats and she went to help Johan with his food. He was such a good eater, put anything in front of him and he would enjoy the experience. She just smiled at her child. Lily had both babies next to her and began to feed them and Sookie took her spot next to Johan to start on her lunch.
Eric came in and looked at Sookie. "My love, are your plans still to go to Bon Temps today?" She nodded her head because she couldn't speak her mouth was so full of food. Eric just grinned at her. "Finish your lunch and get a nap in and we will take the children then. They are probably tired from traveling and you could use a nap." She nodded again with barbeque sauce all over her mouth. He just rolled his eyes and walked out of the room.
When the kids were fed she and Lily put them down for their naps and she went to her room to take hers, she was exhausted. Fluffing her pillow under her head she put her head into it and fell instantly asleep.
Eric could hear Sookie screaming. He moved like lightening to get to their room and he found her crying out in her sleep. Rushing to her side he picked her up to cradle her speaking softly to wake her up. Never in the time he knew her had she ever had a nightmare. "Sookie my love, your safe and I am here. Open you eyes for me." Her eyes were smeared with tears by the looks of it she had been crying in her sleep a while.
Her eyes slowly opened and her crying slowed down. Her reddened eyes from crying looked into his eyes. "Eric?" Blinking she tried to recall what happened.
"Yes lover, were you expecting someone else? You were crying out in your sleep Sookie." He smiled down on her and lightly kissed her. "Can you tell me what you were dreaming about that frightened you so badly?"
Shaking her head no she looked away to concentrate. "I don't know. I didn't mean to disturb you."
"Stop this. You did no such thing. Lay back and get some rest. I will wake you in about an hour and we will take the children to the park, alright?" He kissed her and stood up. She got comfortable again and closed her eyes to sleep.
She heard him calling her name but she didn't respond to him. There was a face in her dreams and she knew it evil. The face turned away from her to look at her son and she would never allow anything to hurt her son. Her third son sat on the floor of the nursery and she could see this being hovering as to take him. Her heart pounded and her screams started again. This time she heard Eric calling to her. "Sookie, please open your eyes. Your having another nightmare." Her eyes opened instantly. "What is you saw Sookie? Tell me."
She only shook her head no, they had enough going on she would let this work itself out. Eric had enough for one day with the visions and she just wanted to forget what she saw. "I don't remember sweetie. I am ok. Let me up so I can run to the bathroom ok?" Eric released her and she got up off the bed to go into the bathroom. Eric sat where he was until she came back. She had washed her face of the tears she had crying again in her sleep.
"Maybe we should stay here and you get some more rest lover. I know you have not slept, you look tired." He stood to caress her face bending down to kiss her lightly at first then it intensified. She wrapped her arms around his waist, she wanted him so badly. Just the feel of his cool skin triggered something in her mind and body, like it turned up the heat in her soul.
She pulled away from his face still holding on to his waist. "No Eric, I promised Johan. Lets take them to the park and let them play. It will do us all good to get out in the sun and enjoy the day. It is so pretty outside."
She turned to get ready but he pulled her back to him. His mouth came to her ear. "I need you so badly my love. I need to feel your body against mine. I crave you more than blood, do you know this? I would go weeks without blood if I had to but yet you I am unable to be without. Your beautiful body is calling to me, I have to be in you Sookie."
She swallowed hard almost panting and giving in. She shook her head no. "Just a bit longer Eric. Lets wait and see what the doctor tells us on Friday ok? We can do this, we went months between the kids."
"Yes, but we did many other things to occupy our needs Sookie. Let me touch you." He started to move up her leg and she jumped out of his reach.
"It is not nice to tease Eric, now scoot. Get ready so we can head to Bon Temps. I want to stop in Merlotte's to see Sam for a minute if you don't mind." She looked at Eric hissed at the sound of Sam's name. "Stop that Eric."
They were getting out of the car at the park before Sookie knew it. Johan was so excited. Eric put him on his feet and their little boy ran like the wind. Sookie watched her son bend his little body down to the grass to touch it, he got up and ran to the sand box. She smiled at her baby and how he was a little person now. He made his own decisions and was becoming more and more independent. Eric took out the stroller from the back of the car then put both babies in it then stopped in front of Sookie. Mark and Maggie close behind them. "Come my love, lets enjoy the day with our babies." She laughed, he never called them babies and he rarely referred to them as theirs, they usually were his never mind the fact she gave birth to them.
The park had quite a few people in it today, kids on swings, walking, sitting on the benches, playing. Gran would have loved this Sookie thought. "You did such a great job with this Eric, I don't know how you do these things. You make anything possible, it really is amazing." She leaned into him to kiss him senseless when she heard her name called.
"Sookie Stackhouse? Is that you girl?" She recognized the voice anywhere, her former friend Arlene. She and Arlene worked together for years at Merlotte's, Sookie considered her a good friend but when Sookie wanted to leave and open the book store Arlene got jealous and stopped speaking to her. Oh, this was going to be interesting and Sookie knew it. She would be the talk of gossip for weeks she was sure of it. Eric looked down at Sookie with an evil grin on his face.
"Hello Arlene, actually it is Sookie Northman. How are you?" She spoke to the red headed woman like she would rather have a root canal then speak to her former friend.
"Northman? You got married Sook and never told nobody?" Her invitation definitely lost in the mail. "That's the name on that plaque over there, the one of your Gran isn't it?
"Yes, Eric built this park for out kids to be able to come and play in." Her eyes were watching her son throw sand in the air. He would be in the tub the minute they got home.
"Eric? This is Eric then?" Arlene's eyes moved up his six and half foot frame and he nodded to her. She looked at the babies in the stroller. "You have a baby and you never told me?"
"Actually I have three. Why would I tell you I have kids Arlene, you made you opinion well known what you thought of me when I left Bon Temps to start the book store with Tara." Sookie's eyes were narrowing at her former friend.
Arlene looked at her surprised. "We were friends Sookie, I didn't mean nothing by it. Besides I keep meaning on coming by and see you its just hard with the kids and working. Your store doing ok?"
"Arlene it was nice seeing you, but were here to take our kids for a walk and enjoy the day. Kiss the kids for me." She started to walk away and Arlene did what Arlene does, throw venom on people.
"That is how you treat people? Like some snotty rich person?" Arlene saw the car she had got out of with Eric and the babies, she could see her wedding rings, she could smell the money on both of them.
"Lets get something straight right now Arlene, my life is mine and none of your business. You have no idea who or what I am. You stand here passing your petty judgment on me and you have no idea what my life is about. I married Eric and I have three beautiful children, we may have money but its not what my life is about. My life is standing next to me and he could be poor as pauper I could care less. You are still as evil as you ever where Arlene, you make me sick." Sookie's eyes were flaming.
"My love, lets take our children on their walk now. I believe this human has taken up enough of our day." Eric took her hand in his squeezing it hard.
"Fine, go you selfish bitch!" Arlene didn't see the blur he was so fast. Eric's face was almost nose to nose to Arlene's and people stopped to watch the interaction. Sookie just looked angrily at her former friend.
Eric's fangs were fully down now, he spoke loud enough for the people watching to hear. "You dare call my wife a bitch. I will rip your throat out do you hear me? You will respect my Queen and if I believe you haven't I will show you what the word means. I suggest you crawl back to where ever you came from before I change my mind and decide to make you an afternoon snack." He was licking his lips at her. Arlene looked like she was going to have a stroke, she ran to her car getting in it and left as fast as she came.
"Eric! I swear you are awful." Sookie giggled at her husband. His fangs went back up and Johan was standing shaking his head at his parents. "I think were grounded husband, your son is giving us the look." Eric looked over to Johan and bent over laughing.
The rest of their afternoon went great. They played, swung on the swing set, Johan fell a few times and scrapped his knee and Eric looked at his son so proud because his son never cried a tear. Johan's little body would just heal itself and Sookie was shocked. He had never cut himself before and neither she or Eric knew he could do that. "That is incredible is it not Sookie? Our son can heal like his father!" Her son had another of his father's vampire traits. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Sookie took the babies out of the stroller and let them play in the grass with their older brother. After a while everyone was getting tired so they loaded up to head to Merlotte's.
The car pulled into the lot and Sookie was about to take her kids out of their seats to go inside. "Sookie, we will wait here for you. Go talk to Sam, I will be here when your done." He kissed her hard on the lips before she broke the kiss to go inside.
Sam was at the bar. His head came up when she walked in the door. She had tried to call him since losing the baby and he wouldn't answer her calls. Sookie knew he just needed to steam a bit but she loved his man, he was her best friend and she couldn't let it go like this. "Sookie? Is everything ok?" He come around the bar in a hurry to stand in front of her.
"Yeah Sam, when you wouldn't answer my calls I knew you were upset so I had to come and see you. Sam, you're my best friend, I love you, please don't be angry at me about the baby. I love my kids, I love Eric and if I can have a dozen more I want them all. It was a freak accident losing the baby and it wasn't anything Eric did. He is just as worried about me as you are." Tears were in her eyes now, Sam looked deep into her eyes before looking away.
"Cher, just when I wrap my mind around you being with that vampire something happens to hurt you. How can I stand here and say that is ok? Sookie, I don't want you hurt or dead! I care too much for you for that. If I wasn't such an idiot and told you I cared about you long ago maybe you wouldn't be in the mess you are now." He ran his hands through his hair like he always did when he was trying to rationalize something.
"It would have never worked Sam and you know it. I am too sassy and pig headed and your too good for me. You would have run yourself into traffic to get away from me after a while. He is my world Sam, I love him. I know you don't like it but its true. I wouldn't change a thing. Nothing." She took his hand in hers to hold. "I need my friend Sam."
He came closer to her and wrapped his arms around her holding her tight. "I love you too Cher. I need my friend too. Go on, get. He is waiting outside isn't he?" She nodded. "Well go on. I will call you later, you owe me a dinner or two I think." She kissed his cheek and smiled going back to the car to her husband and kids.
Eric was sniffing her when she got back in the car. "Sookie, why is it men always have to put their hands on what is mine? How can I ravish you when you smell like shifter?" He spat the word shifter and she laughed at him.
"Sorry Mr. Northman but that door is closed for a bit remember?" He growled and looked away from her. He wanted to kill something she thought. His face was distorted and tortured. If the babies weren't in the car she might have done something to help him with it. She giggled and he looked at her. "Babies in the car, no action for you." She laughed harder and his fangs came down and she laughed even harder still.
They were in front of her families farm house. Sookie never could sell it before she just rented it to a married couple she knew since kindergarten. When Gran passed and left her the little bit of money she did Sookie used every penny of it and a loan to start the book store with Tara. She stood in the yard looking at the house now. This place was no longer her home. She felt a ping of remembrance but now she realized this house was no longer hers, it was like a stepping stone to Eric. She knew she needed to call Jason and decide what to do with it. Eric took Johan out of his seat and put him on the ground and he ran to his mother. Eric had both babies and came to stand next to her as she looked up at the old farm house that stood there for over a hundred and fifty years. "Sookie, you don't need to sell it if you don't want to. Keep it for the children if you want, we will put it in a trust for them. I just want you happy."
"I know Eric, I just know that this isn't my home anymore and it needs to be someone else's now. Gran wouldn't want me hanging on to the past when my future is with you. I just miss her so much I can't even describe it. We made cookies together in that little kitchen, I sun bathed on that lawn, those are just memories. You and my kids are reality." She walked to Johan to take his hand to walk to the little cemetery that was at the end of the clearing between her home and Bill's, Eric fell in step beside her.
When they were standing in front of Gran's grave Sookie bent down to touch it. Johan's little hand came down too. He smiled the minute his hand touched the stone. "Love you Gran." Her son talked to her grandmother's headstone like he had been there a million times and she looked over at her intuitive child smiling.
Eric stood back to give her space. Tears began to roll down her face, she wiped them away but more fell just as fast. "Gran I brought my babies to see you today. Eric is here too, you would love him Gran. He is so sweet and handsome, he makes me so happy. You would probably have a bit of crush on him too, he has a way with woman. He would have enjoyed telling you some of his life stories. He's over a thousand years old, you and your club would have had a field day with that wouldn't you? Can you image the stories he would tell all of you? I wish you were here Gran, I miss you so much. I wish you could meet my babies, they are beyond beautiful. Will you do me a favor Gran? Our little daughter is there with you, please watch over her for me. I never got to meet her and it is breaking my heart. Keep her close Gran. I love you." She wiped the grass and dirt from her stone and stood up. Johan held his hand up for her to take and she turned to see her husband with blood tears running down his face. She walked over to him and put her arm around him to comfort each other. "Gran will watch over her Eric, I know she will."
They walked back to the car and got in to go home. Sookie cried the entire way home. Lily was waiting for them when they walked in the door. She took one of the carriers and Mark stepped up to grab the other to take upstairs. Johan walked behind Lily and Mark to go with them. Eric walked up to his wife and picked her up to take to their room. Sookie put her legs around his waist and let him carry her. Her head was in the crook of his neck and her arms were holding on tightly.
Eric had them in their bedroom sitting on the bed with her on his lap and began kissing her softly, his hands went into her hair holding her face to his. His lips were so soft and gentle making her cry again. Eric pulled his face away from hers to look into her eyes. The tears fell fast down her face and Eric licked every one of them. "I wish I knew what I could do to take the sadness away from you Sookie. I hate this that you are unhappy and sad."
Her head shook no. "I am never unhappy Eric, just sad. You make me so happy sometimes it over flows like now in my tears. I wish I could change this for both of us. I see the sadness in your eyes Eric. I know it is there but you are too concerned about me you don't share it with me, I need to feel it with you. We have to open up to each other so we can heal our hearts." She leaned into kiss him, her lips barely touching his.
His eyes closed for a moment then opened them to kiss her again before speaking to her. "I am a fool you know. I have tried to do what I believed to best for us and I know now it is not. I worry I will lose you Sookie and the thought is crippling. Why would I want to live in this world if not for you and our children? If I had never met you I would still be walking in the night just existing. I do no exist any longer, I live, I love and I am grateful for everything we have. If we talk to the doctor on Friday and your healing and doing better I would be open for more children. But if she tells us it is too early or you have complications Sookie, I will go to whatever measure I have too to keep you healthy and alive. That may mean no more children and we will have to accept it. Will you be able to do that?"
She looked into his eyes, his loving blue sapphire eyes. She loved him so much and she knew she would have to give him this, he needed her words. He couldn't go through it again, her almost dying on the hope of a child and she didn't want him to suffer anymore over it. She smiled at him. "Yes, I agree completely. If there is problems then I will go on the pill or whatever I have to do. I won't gamble my life with you all for more kids. I have fought too hard to be with you to just let it go selfishly." His hand moved to her breast squeezing it. She looked up at him and smiled. "Eric, I was thinking about buying Pam a gift, what do you think of getting her a new car?"
He looked up at her, his eyes were on fire with lust. "Buy her two I do not care. Order what you wish, I will give you anything you ask for." She fell back on the bed laughing so hard tears came into her eyes and she started to cough. He was next to her pulling her to him. "What is so funny Sookie?" He was getting angry, his fangs were completely down. She just shook her head and thought she would order Pam something extra special for her help.
"I am just happy my husband. How about you show me how much you love me?" She wiggled her eye brows at him and squealed jumping off the bed to head to the shower. He had her pinned to the shower wall and well loved before she knew what happened.
Sookie woke in the middle of the night from the night terrors she seemed to be having more and more frequent. She needed to get a handle on this but she had no idea how to do it. Eric woke and sat up on his elbow to look at her. "Another nightmare my love?" She just nodded and scoot closer to him. Her eyes closed and she fell back to sleep.
Eric woke it was still dark out, a little after dawn. He put on his jeans and t-shirt and went to his sons room. Eric could feel Johan was awake, he was sitting in his bed with his teddy bear rubbing his eyes. The room was completely dark but Eric could see his son smiling at the sight of his father. "Good morning my son." He picked him up out of the crib and went to sit in the chair. "Johan, mommy is having dreams, what kind of dreams is she having? Do you know?" Johan's little hand came up to Eric's face. The vision came quickly, he could see Sookie in the nursery with the child Sookie kept calling her third son. The little boy with light blonde hair was sitting in the center of the nursery, there was a creature in between Sookie and the boy. Sookie looked panicked, the creature looked like a killer, his face distorted like he was going to take the child. Sookie was screaming to the creature to stop and leave her child alone. The creature's eyes changed, they turned a deep blood red, demon Eric thought. Johan's hand moved from his fathers face and he looked sad at his father. "Do not worry, daddy will take care of this. No one will ever hurt any of you, I promise." Eric took his son to bathe and dress him then took him downstairs to feed him. Trish was up and she insisted on making Johan scrambled eggs. Johan sat on Eric's lap until his breakfast was ready. Eric put his son in the high chair and talked to him while he ate his breakfast. Sergio came in and nodded to Eric then began getting ready to make breakfast for the rest of the house. Johan and Eric were talking up a storm when Sookie came down with the twins, Lily behind her.
"Eric, did he wake you? You should have woke me I could have gotten him." Sookie kissed both of them before putting the twins in their chairs.
"No, he never made a sound. I felt him up so I went and got him. My son has been bathed, eaten and we have had lots of fun sitting here catching up on things, haven't we?" Johan was smiling up at Sookie.
Lily and Sookie sat to feed the twins, Lily with Erika, Sookie with Enar. Enar was fussy again so Eric adjusted Johan on his lap to move Enar closer to him. "Give me the spoon Sookie." When Enar was in front of Eric he looked at his son and smiled. "Young man, what is the meaning of this? I thought we discussed this behavior? Your mother is letting her own food get cold while you misbehave. It is breakfast time, my warrior." Enar looked at his father for just a moment then burst out in giggles opening his mouth for his breakfast. Sookie just shook her head and pulled her own plate closer to eat.
Eric's phone rang, he took it out of his pocket and hit the answer button. "Mr. Cataliades." He listened to what was said to him then he looked at Sookie, getting up he handed Sookie the spoon he was using to feed his son. Sookie watched him leave then went back to feeding the baby. She heard Eric turn the flat screen on in the living room, she thought it was odd because Eric never watched television.
When the babies were done she and Lily took the kids to the living room where Eric was standing looking at the screen, the volume was so low she barely knew it was on. He was no longer on the phone. She set the Enar on the floor in front of his toys and Lily put Erika next to him, Johan crawled on the couch to look at his newest book. Sookie stood to see what Eric was looking at on the screen and she took two steps back. It was a picture of a missing person, Quinn. "Lily, could you excuse us?" Lily nodded and left the room. "Crap!"
Eric turned to look at her, his eye brow went up. "Yes my warrior wife, you can say that again."
"Oh God Eric, what is that? Who would report him missing? He's a supe! They don't go missing on a human level!" Sookie couldn't take her eyes off the screen.
"We believe his sister did. She is not shifter. It seems Quinn was caretaker to his younger sister and very mentally disturbed mother who is also tiger." Eric's voice was like nothing she recognized, it was frightening.
She had to sit down, her legs were about to give out. "What now?"
Eric turned to look at her, his fangs were down, his eyes changed like when he was hunting. "I will handle it."
"Eric, this can't be happening. If the police get involved it is known what happened to him." She was angry that tiger was causing her more anguish. If he were still alive she would kill him again just for spite.
"I told you, I will handle it Sookie. Do not worry about this" He turned and left the room, phone in hand.
Sookie sat there for awhile watching her kids play. Her hand reached the remote and shut the flat screen off, she couldn't look at it any longer, she just got more livid. About an hour later Lily came in the living room. "Sookie, Eric told me to come take care of the children. He would like you to go upstairs to the office." Sookie thanked her and got up to go to Eric.
He was sitting in his chair behind the desk. "Sookie, I have a meeting I have to go to and it may run late. I have instructed the security no one is to come up to the house for no reason without clearing it with me. Mr. Cataliades will be here later tonight to talk with us. I hope to have this cleaned up by tomorrow."
"How Eric? You can't make him reappear. His mother isn't going to just forget he son existed and the police won't just close the case." She was spitting mad now. Her magic getting stronger.
Eric was looking at her build up and he came around the desk to calm her down. "Stay calm about this Sookie. We can clean this up and everything will be fine. Trust me."
"It isn't you I don't trust Eric, it is everyone else in the world! I swear that fucking tiger is laughing from his grave." She was pacing the office, her hands fisted at her side.
Eric stopped her to pulled her to him and kissed her hard on the lips. "I will be home late, call me if you need anything my love. I will call and check on you later. Please take a nap. I am seeing bruises under your eyes again. I will have to tie you to the bed if you do not lay down and get some rest." He was grinning when he said it to her. Her handsome husband kissed her and left.
Sookie decided to do some work before taking a nap. Her email box was overfull and she had tons of messages to return from the weekend. Boy, the vampire community was needy she giggled to herself. The phone calls would have to wait but she got busy sending emails and texting everyone she could before she went to sleep. Eric was right, she needed a nap, she was beyond tired. After hitting send on the last email she turned her lap top off and went to the bedroom to sleep. She was out instantly.
Her phone was ringing and her eyes never opened, she just reached trying to find it next to the bed. "Hello?"
"Are you alright lover?' He sounded worried.
"Yes sweetie? Why wouldn't I be?" She smiled at the phone. He was sweet sometimes she thought.
"It is almost nine o'clock. Lily called, she didn't want to wake you but she was worried." Eric's tone was calmer now.
"Nine o'clock, in the evening?" She sat straight up. She had been sleeping almost 8 hours. "Crap!"
Eric laughed at her. "Sookie, if you want to sleep twenty four hours you can, I just wanted to make sure you were alright. I am at Fangtasia and will be home in an hour. Mr. Cataliades will be there at ten. Do you need me to come home now?"
"No Eric, I am fine. I will see you in an hour. I love you." She was up and turning the water in the shower to get dressed as she spoke to him.
"I love you too." He hung the phone up and she set her phone on the sink to get in the shower. She dressed quickly in a white panty and bra set with a light cotton blouse in white and jeans. Her hair she left hanging down her back and put on just a touch of makeup. She went down the stairs to see Lily taking a sleeping Johan up to his bed.
"Let me take him Lily. Thank you for being so good to me. I was exhausted and didn't even know it." Lily smiled and handed Johan to her. She turned and went back up the stairs with her son. It was all she could do not to smack kisses all over his adorable little face, his fathers face. Sookie found it amazing looking at this child and his appearance every day mirrored more and more of Eric's. Giving in she kissed him lightly on his cheek and laid him in his bed next to his teddy bear. She walked to leave turning off the light and went to check on the twins. Both were sleeping so peacefully, she leaned in to kiss each and rub their little backs. As she shut the door to the nursery her phone rang. She cringed and moved away from the door to not wake the babies. She answered on the second ring. "Hello?'
"Sookie, it seems I have a new car sitting in my driveway with a bow on it. Where did it come from?" Pam was snickering through the phone.
"A new car? Wow! You must have been a good girl this year for Santa to bring you a car." Sookie put her hand over her mouth. She had ordered Pam a new convertible two door Mercedes in opaque, it almost looked pink in the sun. She knew that was the car for her wing man.
"You must have really worked him up. Well done mistress!" Pam was really proud of her.
Sookie smiled. "I couldn't have done it without you Pam. Yes, I think I could have gotten a house out of it but I decided not to be greedy. He told me to buy two but my conscience wouldn't let me, so I felt you did most of the work, you deserved it."
Pam laughed hard. "You really are my favorite breather Sookie. You are hours of fun you know. Is all well?"
"We have some issues here Pam. I think Eric will update you as soon as we have it nailed down. Have you spoken to him this evening?" Pam told her no but he was next on her list to call. "Its big Pam and I think I really screwed up."
"Eric is nothing if he is not efficient. That vampire can take dog shit and make it look like roses. Do not doubt my master. Kiss the babies and Johan, good night" Pam hung the phone up. She was serious and Sookie believed her.
Sookie was sitting in the dining room with a huge bowl of homemade strawberry shortcake with whipped cream when Eric came in with Mr. Cataliades. The demon nodded to Sookie. "It is wonderful to see you well Sookie. You have given us all cause to reevaluate our own mortality with all the issues you have had recently." He was smiling and Eric busted out laughing. Sookie just grinned and shoved more shortcake in her mouth. Eric told the demon to sit, he did.
"What can you tell us?" Eric always got right to business.
"His mother has been a facility for awhile. She had an incident a few months ago and killed four men. Quinn locked her up so she wouldn't hurt herself. She escapes and ends up right back in the same place. It seems it is hard to find some place to put a shifter with the genetics she and Quinn possess. His sister is a trouble maker and Quinn had tried to straighten her out. I believe we may be able to use his mother as the source of her sons demise." Mr. Cataliades was shrewd Sookie thought, Eric liked the idea and nodded.
"Do it. I want this done immediately. I have already started on the police chief in New Orleans. He has been an ally to Sophie-ann and myself for more years than I can recall. I want no connection to my wife in this. I will take this on first." Eric was serious when he said it to their attorney. Sookie started to protest and Eric put his hand up. "Sookie, this is the way it has to be. You are seen as a human and fall under human laws, I do not. I can sweep this away where if you get involved it will not be so easy. We will do what we need to get this done. I told you to trust me." Sookie just nodded, he had a point but she didn't have to like it.
"It will be done. I will call you when it is arranged. Here is the paperwork you asked me to bring for Sookie to sign. The trusts have all been set up in the three children's name and I took the liberty of adding with the exception of future children which we can change in the future if need be. The trust has both the children and Sookie's names and she is beneficiary as you instructed." He handed the paperwork to Eric to review, Eric nodded and flipped pages looking thoroughly at each. Sookie knew he has started trusts for the kids, he told her the day Johan was born he was having it done and not to worry about a thing.
He handed the paperwork to her and nodded. She knew he approved of the changes or additions on the pages and she turned the pages as he indicated items of interest to her. "This will be amount for the children in case something were to happen. It will pay out this amount monthly to the children if something happened to me until they were eighteen and the rest will be in a fund with you in control of it until they turn twenty five." She looked at the number and she counted it twice, it was ten figures and she almost choked at the amount. Eric was tapping her on the back. She saw his finances and this money was separate from his other income, it was staggering.
"Eric, our children cannot possibly use this kind of money. What are they going to need this much money for?" Her eyes just blurred at the sight of the figure.
"My children will always be taken care of. I know you would be able to provide for them but I do not want you to have to do that. You are their mother and you do not need to worry about finances. If I meet my final death Sookie, I want you and our children comfortable for the rest of your lives." Sookie wanted to cry at the thought of something happening to Eric. She knew he was a shrewd business man and powerful, he didn't get that way by sitting on his hands all day. Her husband only wanted her taken care of. She leaned over and kissed him. She signed where he indicated and handed the paperwork back to Mr. Cataliades.
Eric looked at Sookie before speaking again. "Has there been any rumblings in your world as to interest in Sookie or my children?" Eric eyes never left hers. She gasped, shocked her knew what her dreams were.
Mr. Cataliades looked strangely at them both. "I have heard nothing to that affect. Is there something going on you would like me to look into?"
Eric nodded. "See if you hear of anyone asking about my family. If you do please let me know. I need to put an end to some future issues well before hand. I believe one of your kind will try to hurt my children and I will not allow that to happen."
"I will call you as soon as I know any information on this and the situation has been handled. Good night." Mr. Cataliades stood and let himself out.
Sookie stood up to pace. She knew this was her fault, another mess for Eric to clean up. He came from behind and wrapped his arms around her. "Stop this Sookie. You should have confided in me. I am your husband. I will take care of you and our family, never doubt that." He always knew what she needed.
"With everything that is going on I couldn't put that on you now Eric. It is a hypothetical attack on a baby we don't even have. It just freaked me out is all. I have had the same version over and over. I am sorry I didn't say anything about it." She turned to look at him. His eyes were so gentle and loving, she reached to touch his face running it down his cheek. His fangs ran down, she put her fingertips on them and he sighed at the feeling of her touching them. Standing up she took his mouth in hers and kissed him. The kiss so intense Sookie was dizzy. He placed his hands under her behind to bring her up to him, she wrapped her legs around his waist.
He walked them toward their bedroom as they kissed. Her eyes never left his, she didn't even notice what was around them until he started to undress her. He took off her shirt then his, he unbuttoned his jeans then laid her on the bed to slid them down his legs, then he reached to undo hers and pull them down her legs. He ripped off her panties and sat her up to undo and discard her bra. She watched her vampire, his perfectly chiseled body standing before her, she moaned from the sight of his amazing body. Her hand came up to run it down his stomach, his cool skin felt wonderful on her fevered body. She sat up wrapping her arms around his ass to pull him closer to her. His gracious plenty was right at the perfect height for her to take into her mouth, Eric's hands went into her hair pulling lightly. She began sucking him, teasing at first until she could feel his eagerness. She placed her hand at the base of him and in unison her hand and mouth worked on gracious plenty. Her other hand she reached between her legs and began to pet herself. He was grunting at what she was doing, he couldn't hold out any longer, just the thought of her playing in her folds drove him over fast, his hips moved into her mouth to release into her. She licked every drop swallowing it all. She leaned into his thigh biting him hard, his head flung back and he moaned as she licked the wound until it was closed.
Her eyes moved up to his face, he was looking between them where her hand still was. Eric pushed her back grabbing her hands pinning them above her. "That is mine Mrs. Northman. I will do the honors of making you scream and come for me. All mine, only mine." She laughed and wiggled to try get out of his hold but he held her firm. His other hand began on her breasts, his fingers pinched her nipples over and over making her cry out from the pain and pleasure. His tongue went to each licking them then blowing the cool air on them making them so hard and sensitive. His fangs scrapped the tender skin under the nipple making it bleed slightly. His tongue licking the droplets until the scrapes were gone. His body moved up to her neck, he kissed her making her pant and buck under him. His fangs went to their favorite place on her neck and bit her hard making her bleed, she moaned feeling his lips sucking every drop he could. His tongue closed the puncture. Eric knew she was so wet, he put his fingers in her folds, the moisture was intense. "Your so wet for me Sookie. I need to fuck you, I need you so badly."
Sookie's eyes closed. "Eric, I need you too. I hate this! I want you in me so bad!"
"Just a few more days lover. I hope it is only a few more day." He pushed her legs open and his head went into her curls to her nub. His tongue licked her center, then moved back to her nub. He moved back to her center, sticking his tongue in her entrance licking it then he put his finger firmly on her nub, stroking her slowly then fast then slow again then finally doing it fast. Her hips were off the bed and moving with the rhythm of his tongue and fingers. The orgasm started raining down on her and she began to scream so loudly she began to get hoarse. She said his name over and over with so much passion he didn't know how he could resist not making love to her. The smell of her fairy blood over took him, it was everywhere, his face, his tongue, his fingers, the air. He closed his eyes to make the thoughts of taking her go away but he was unable. He released her arm and got up quickly from the bed, going into the bathroom. His blood lust was so high he was seething, his body contorted to attack, he gripped the sink and pulled on it almost dislodging it out of the wall. His fangs were completely needing something to bite. All he could see was red, blood red.
Sookie came rushing into the bathroom. She had never seen him act like this while they made love. His control was always impeccably secure and she never worried he would hurt her, even now she didn't feel threatened, she was just worried about him. "Sweetie?" His head whipped around as she spoke to him, his eyes were full predator at that moment. Sookie knew she should take a step back but she couldn't leave him there. "Eric, its me, its Sookie. Turn the shower on Eric, open the stall and turn the cold water on ok?" He hissed at her. "Come on Eric, turn the water on and get in the shower." Again he hissed, his back contorting more as if he would attack any moment. She took a deep breath to clear her mind in case she needed to throw up her protection shields. Sookie concentrated with everything she could, her magic turned the water turned on, she almost collapsed from the exertion. "Eric, get in the shower." She knew she couldn't get closer to him, he was too fast and would hurt her before she could stop him if he got his hands on her. "Get. In. The. Shower. Now!" Eric's head shook like an animal who had been knocked in the head. He turned to look at the water and turned to her narrowing his eyes like he wasn't sure which to do. "Got into the water Eric, it will make you feel better, come on sweetie." He turned to the water again and moved to get in it. He left the shower door open but he was under the water. Sookie's legs almost gave out she was so relieved. She stood there holding onto the door jam while she made sure he didn't get out of the water. His head was totally under the water and she was glad about that. After a few minutes she saw him put his hands on the tile as support. She could feel in the bond he was calming down and the blood lust was passing. In that moment she sent him love and comfort, she knew he would be outraged he did this.
After a long while she finally heard his voice. "Sookie?" He sounded so upset she moved to the shower. She could see the water was running pink. She put her arm in the water and turned on the hot water to mix with the cold. Waiting a moment for it to warm up she stepped in behind him and shut the glass door.
Her arms went around his waist. He moved one of his arms behind himself to touch her. "It's ok sweetie. It was an accident. You didn't mean it." She kissed his back.
"I would have killed you." The water was now a darker pink. She knew his tears were coming faster now. He was mad and upset she knew she had to comfort him.
"No, you wouldn't. You are my husband, you would never hurt me like that. I never doubted that for a second there Eric. You just lost control for a minute. See, your better now." She squeezed him pushing pride and strength through their bond.
He turned his body and Sookie could see the tears now. His eyes were red from the tears. She reached up to wipe them away. "Please forgive me." He said it to her like he knew she never would.
She smiled at him, pulling his face to hers to kiss. "There is nothing to forgive. It was an accident Eric. Look at me." His eyes moved to hers. "It was an accident. You would never hurt me. I know that with all my heart."
He pulled her to him crushing her body against his. Every fiber of his body was raw, she could feel him unsure and distraught. Sookie freed herself and took the shampoo and washed their hair. Then she took the body wash and cleaned them both. She reached around him turning off the water and reached out for towels for both of them. She took his hand leading him to her bed, sat him on her side of the bed then leaned his head down to towel dry his hair for him then moved to his body. When she felt he was dry enough she pulled the blankets down and eased him back to lay down. Sookie pulled the cover up his body to his chest. She quickly towel dried her hair and body and put her hair in a pony tail then climbed in the bed with her husband. Tonight it was her that pulled him to her. She wrapped her arms around him, pulling his head to the crease of her arm while she pet his damp hair. "Sleep Eric, it will make you feel better. Don't think about this any more. Its over and were fine. I love you sweetie, more than anything in the world." She kissed his temple and his eyes closed. They both were sound asleep within minutes.
Eric's eyes opened. He knew the minute they did what he had done the night before and he was ashamed. Looking over at his sleeping wife he couldn't believe he turned on her like that. The conversation they had the night they found out about being pregnant with Johan played over and over. Sookie was distraught about being pregnant and he promised her he would never hurt her or his kids like that and what did he do, he almost attacked and killed her. Sookie stirred and rolled closer to Eric. "Sweetie?" She could feel him and he was still upset. Her eyes opened and adjusted to the morning light. "Eric, stop, ok?. You didn't hurt me, I know you would never do that."
He leaned over and kissed her. "You have much more confidence in me this morning than I have in myself." He kissed her again. "I have to check in with Mr. Cataliades and I have to go to New Orleans to tie this up. I will be home late tonight." She nodded at him and he got up going to the shower.
Sookie got up and put on a bra, t-shirt and jeans then she left her room to go check on her kids. They were all still sound asleep so Sookie went downstairs to get a cup of coffee. She took the coffee and went out on the back deck. Sitting out in the sunrise she missed it. Her favorite past times before her children was to put on her bikini and sit in the sun, it was her vice, she missed it so much. Thinking she would do just the thing today, she would bring her babies out after lathering them with sunscreen of course and sit in the sun for a little while today. Laying her head back in the chair she must have dosed off because she felt fangs against her skin. "Who goes there?" She giggled and opened her eyes.
The Viking kissed her. "I believe if you do not know by now you will definitely be spanked until you never forget." He smiled and kissed her again. "Will you be alright while I am gone?"
"Eric, your just going for the day. I won't burst into flames while your gone. Besides I believe the gardener is coming today for our afternoon quickie, I need to get you out of the house anyway." She jumped to get away from him, but he caught her mid air.
He pulled her up over his shoulder getting a few light smacks on her behind before setting her back down. Her face was full of laughter and he was shaking his head laughing too. It felt great to them both. "Let me catch the fool who tries to touch what is mine and I will have him processed for doggie treats." His eyes were so bright and mischievous.
Sookie jumped on him wrapping her legs against his waist. "Maybe I will cancel then. I do enjoy gracious plenty and I hate to have to give him up. He does make it worth it." Eric was tickling her and they fell on the grass kissing. "I love you Eric." Her mouth was pressed hard against his and her panting almost drove him crazy. He pulled his head back to inhale. "Your fine Eric, don't second guess yourself. Look at me." His head came down to look at her, she was surrounded by the green grass, her hair fanned out behind her and her eyes full of love and lust for him. "You wont hurt me. Tell me."
His lips touched hers. "I won't hurt you Sookie. I would never hurt you." She smiled at him and the glass door opened and Eric saw his toddler running at them, Lily standing inside smiling. Eric caught him and pulled him down to his mothers side and he tickled them both. Johan was howling with laughter and Sookie laughed so hard tears were coming out of her eyes. Eric felt happier than he had in a while. Sookie was right, they needed each other, it wasn't a one way street he traveled alone trying to take on everything. He stood and helped Sookie up then leaned down to pick up his son. "Son, daddy is going out of town. You take care of mommy while I am gone. I will see you all late tonight." Kisses were exchanged, Sookie and Johan watched Eric leave then went back inside with Johan to get her day going.
Sookie was anxious, it was almost midnight and she hadn't heard from Eric. She was on the couch waiting for him, she had turned on the flat screen to watch one of the gossip channels. She missed that, she and Gran would always buy those rags and read the pages about celebrities like they knew them personally. Her eyes were half asleep when she saw the teaser for the next segment. It was Eric and he was standing with a young woman she had never seen, he had her up against the wall. The announcers voice almost screamed at her. "Local heart throb and sexiest vampire Eric Northman caught cheating. Stay tuned for the shocking video." Sookie's eyes never left the screen. She waited for the video and sure enough it was Eric he was wearing what he left the house in this morning and he had a woman up against a bar wall his face against her neck. The announcer said the video was shot at a local bar in New Orleans that very night. All she could do was shake her head, it wasn't possible. How could he do this?
Sookie grabbed her phone and dialed, her hands were shaking. "Pam, Eric is on tv. He is standing in a bar with another woman."
"Sookie that is ridiculous, Eric would never cheat on you." Pam wasn't buying it.
"Pam, turn the fucking television on. Its on that gossip channel. They are going to rerun it and discuss it after the commercial. I saw the video Pam. He has a woman against the wall and it looks like he kissing her!" She was livid and so upset she started to hyperventilate.
"Calm down Sookie, there has to be a reasonable explanation. Hold on, they are showing the video now." Pam went silent. Sookie watched the same video in time with Pam again and she just got angrier. "Fucker! I will stake him and chain his body with silver. I will call you back Sookie, please do not do anything until you hear from me." She disconnected.
Sookie sat on the couch for what seemed like hours. She couldn't move. Her cell phone finally rang. "I have not been able to locate him. He was last seen in the bar with the woman. I have got a location on her, I have Nigel looking for her now. We should know something soon." Pam hung up again.
Sookie did the only thing she could, she dialed Eric's cell phone. It went to voice mail. She hung up and called again. He answered this time and she could tell by his voice something was off. "Sookie?"
"Eric where are you?" Her voice was flat and cold.
"I completely lost track of time." She could tell he avoiding her and he was lying.
"I think maybe you should stay there Eric. I don't want you coming back here." She was angrier than she ever had been in her life.
"What do you mean? I do not understand Sookie." He seemed distracted like he had something more important going on.
"You were on the television Eric. You and the woman you were making out with." She could barely say the words.
"Sookie, I need to call you back." He hung up on her. She threw the remote to the television across the room.
Pam called again. "Nigel found her in the room she rented at a motel but she is gone. I will send the plane back to get you, bring the kids and come here. I will not allow him to hurt you, or you can go to Stan. He will protect you."
"I can't leave Pam, Enar will get sick, I wont let that happen to him again. I have to figure out what do to for my kids. I called him and he hung up on me. He is with someone I could tell." Pam told her she would try calling Eric and she would call when she knew something. Dawn came and went and no one called. Sookie was exhausted, she went up to her room. She was about to get in the bed when she felt him coming closer. Running down the stairs she flung the door open, Mark appeared.
"Sookie, what is going on? Is everything alright?" His eyes were searching hers.
"Stay here Mark, I will handle this." She began running further down the driveway, she wanted him as far as she could get him from the house. She didn't want her kids to hear her fighting with him.
The car stopped at the gate and Eric jumped out of the car. He knew she was waiting there. "Sookie, this is all a big misunderstanding. Let me explain." His hands were up as if to say he wasn't going to hurt her.
"Explain what Eric, I saw the video. Who is the girl you were with Eric?" Her eyes were glowing, Eric stayed where he was.
"Quinn's sister. I had to meet with her to glamour her. I know what you think you saw but it was not that Sookie. I had her meet me there to talk to her, she was drunk when she got to the bar and I kept trying to glamour her. I got angry and almost bit her because she would not cooperate. That is what you saw, I did not kiss her, I only had my hands on her to push her back when she would not do as I told her." He looked serious, he moved to come closer.
Sookie could only shake her head, her husband, the one that claimed to love her, let her sit for hours without calling. Her eyes flashed, her magic began to build. "I sat in that room for hours Eric, you never called me back. How could you do that to me? I sat thinking you were out cheating on me. You were on the tv Eric! You couldn't call Pam or send a fucking text message so I wouldn't be sitting here thinking the worse of you!" She ran in the house as fast as she could. She took the stairs two at time running to her room.
Mark stopped Eric before he could pass him. "I won't kill you because she loves you but if you ever do that to her again I will consider it. You really don't deserve her, you selfish prick." Mark turned from him and Eric growled but decided he needed to find his wife.
She was sitting on the bed with her arms crossed. "Sookie, I am sorry. I should have called before this all got out of hand. I did not know about the video until you called. I was in the middle of a meeting with the police chief and trying to get this Quinn situation under control. I thought you were sleeping and I didn't want to disturb you, I knew we would talk about it when I got home." He moved closer and she shook her head at him.
"No, stay away from me. You think I am going to forget this? Ok, you met with Quinn's sister and the picture is deceiving, I get that. But in the last eight hours you couldn't find five minutes to call me back. You could have called Pam, she has been the one on the phone with me since this happened trying to help me. She sent Nigel looking for you. She called me back Eric, you chose not to. You left me sitting here thinking that about you. I hope your proud of yourself." She looked at him in a way she had never in all the time they were together, with hate in her eyes.
"Your right, I screwed up. I should have called." There really no words he could say to make it sound better, he knew it.
"Whatever Eric." She stood to leave and he moved to her trying to put his arms around her.
"No. You can't fuck me and make this better Eric. Leave me alone." If she had staked him he would have been less surprised.
"I know your angry Sookie, I am sorry. Please lover, what can I do?" He was desperate.
"I don't want it fixed. I want you to leave me alone for awhile. If you don't I am going to say or do something I can never take back." She went to the bathroom to close and lock the door behind her and she slid down the wall to the floor devastated. She needed to think and she couldn't with him looking at her. She was angry and she needed some space. The cool tile was the only thing that kept her from bursting into flames. She had no idea what time it was when there was a knock on the door, it was Eric.
"Sookie, please open the door." His voice was low and gentle. Sookie didn't answer. "Come on Sookie open the door." This time his voice was firmer. Sookie didn't answer again. She felt him walking away. She would stay in there forever, that's what she wanted to do, lay on the tile and stay there forever.
She knew it was evening, she could feel the pull of the sun going down. There was a knock on the door. "Sookie open up, its me." Pam. Sookie jumped up to answer it. Pam stood in front of her looking beautiful as ever. "Sookie, why have you locked yourself in the bathroom? You are a Queen! Come on, come sit and talk to me." Sookie went with her but she didn't feel like talking. "I thought about bringing chains just to teach him a lesson but I do not think I have to worry about this one. He really did mess this up did he not?"
"Pam, this isn't funny. There is no part of this that is funny, not one second." Sookie's eyes flashed at Pam and Pam nodded.
"I know Sookie. He explained what happened. I do not understand how a vampire who has lived a thousand years seems to get into so much trouble where you are concerned in this short amount of time." Pam was trying to downplay this.
"Stop it Pam! This is not a joke. Do none of you realize what he did? Does no one care? I am sick of this. I am supposed to just take it and act like nothing happened? This is my life! I have given this relationship everything I have got and this is how I get repaid by him lying and dismissing me. So I just lay down and take this? Is that what I am supposed to do?" Sookie's face was beyond angry.
"No I do not think you should lie down and take it. You are better than this Sookie. Time after time you have had things happen to you and you always stand up to face it. Face him, teach him what he has done can never be done to you again. You teach people how to treat you Sookie. It is time you teach Eric a lesson he never forgets." She stood and kissed Sookie on the cheek before leaving.
She sat on the bed for a while before she went to find Eric. He was in the office and when he saw her he came around the desk to stand in front of her. Sookie stood straight looking his square in the eye. "Maybe I should go back to Vegas with Pam. Give you some space. I won't take the kids Eric, because Enar needs you. He will be alright without me."
"No!" His head was shaking no over and over.
"No? After what has happened you think I should stay here and take this from you?" She stayed calm, if she didn't she would cry and get no where.
"I was wrong Sookie. I know that. I tried to do what I thought was best and I was wrong. Please do not leave. I need you Sookie." His eyes were searching hers for what to do.
She would set this right this moment. "If you do that to me ever again Eric, I will leave. I am not one of your employees. I am your wife and your partner. You may have things you can't tell me at the time, but you cannot just ignore me like you did Eric. I would never let you sit for hours thinking something bad happened like that. Do you really understand why I am upset Eric, really?"
"Yes, I do. I made a horrible mistake. If the roles were reversed I would have probably done a lot worse by this point then just give you the silent treatment. I am not unfaithful to you Sookie, I never will be, not in my heart, mind or body. I have not even taken a human donor since we met that night we met in the parking lot at Fangtasia. You are the only woman I have touched like that since we met. I stopped myself from biting that girl last night because I do not want to taint our bond with someone else's blood. I want it perfect and pure. I will give you my word to never do something like this again. You are my mate and I need to respect that." He walked to her slowly then stopped giving her room. If she wanted this he would let her come to him. He would not force her.
He pulled her close and inhaled her scent. He took his hand to lift her chin up to look at him. He kissed her softly. He brought his arm up to his mouth and opened his wrist up for her. Her eyes went to his and her lips began to suck from his wound. When it closed he opened it again. She shook her head no but he nodded, she took his wrist in her mouth again. "We want you healthy for your check up tomorrow. Lets go check on the children then we will get you to bed. Alright Mrs. Northman?" She nodded.
Sookie woke it was morning, Eric was gone. She got up to shower and dress. She wanted to spend some time with her kids before she went to see Dr. Ludwig. The last two days were like a dream, a bad dream. Quickly she took a shower and dressed for the day. Her family was in the living room when she came down. Eric was on the couch holding Erika, Johan and Enar were playing on the floor with Lily. Eric had the flat screen on, she didn't like that idea at all. Walking to them she leaned to kiss her husband and kids. "Is there something I should know about?" She was looking at the screen concerned.
"They are coming back with the update in a moment. Watch for yourself." He was looking at her seriously.
Sookie saw a face of someone she recognized. Mr. Cataliades, he was going to be interviewed on behalf of Quinn's mother. The newsman came back on to address the demon lawyer.
"Mr. Cataliades, you are representing the mother of John Quinn correct?" He nodded and said yes. "Since she has confessed to killing her only son why is it you want to help this woman?'
"It is only fair and just. This woman is mentally incapacitated and what was done she cannot be blamed for. I have petitioned the court to put her into the best mental facility that will cater to her kind specifically. Mr. Quinn was diligent about assigning his estate to the care of his mother, he was quite a wealthy man on his own. I believe that in this tragedy comes a light at the end of the tunnel and that is Mrs. Quinn will get the help she deserves." Eric turned the tv off.
Sookie's mouth fell open. "Holy crap!" Johan scolded his mother. She giggled. "Well, I have to say that demon couldn't have said it better. She really is going to a better place?" Eric nodded. "Good and Quinn had enough money for her care?" Eric nodded again. "What about his sister?"
"She has a guardian assigned to her. Someone Quinn worked with, she will be fine." Eric would keep an eye on them for years to come. They were bricks in the mortar of his life he never wanted to come loose.
"I am grabbing breakfast. Did the kids eat?" He rolled his eyes and Lily giggled telling her yes. "Just checking my Viking." She high tailed it to the kitchen to eat before going to the doctors.
They were in the car and headed to downtown to the doctors office. Sookie thought she would be more anxious but in her heart she knew she was doing better. Her bouts of crying had gotten better, she was eating regularly, sleeping when she wasn't having nightmares and she was feeling pretty good. Mark pulled the car to the front of the building and he opened the door for them. Mark gave Eric a nasty look and Sookie just looked at Mark. She will deal with that later she thought.
The nurse led them to the exam room and Sookie knew the routine, undress and put the gown on. She did it and Eric helped her get up on the table. "Whatever she tells us we promised each other we would do what was right, remember Sookie?" She smiled at him. Yes, she agreed and she had no intention of braking the promise she made.
Dr. Ludwig came in. "Northman's, how are we doing?" Sookie smiled and Eric answered .
"She is doing much better, sleeping, eating, she really is remarkable. I couldn't be prouder of her." He smiled and held Sookie's hand tighter.
"Good, no cramping or bleeding?" Sookie shook her head no. "No vaginal intercourse?" Sookie giggled and Eric looked at her seriously then answered no. "Good, lets take a look." She had her machine next to her, she pulled Sookie down to the stir-ups and draped the sheet across her middle and legs. "Relax Sookie, this will only take a minute." Sookie blew her breath out and Eric kissed her softly. The doctor made a noise that sounded like humph and Sookie froze. "Ok, done. Let me take a quick look and I will be right back." Sookie couldn't move, she laid perfectly still until the doctor came back in. The tiny doctor had pictures in her hand, Sookie was about to panic. "Well, here is where we are, see these pictures? We are looking for spot of scaring or inflammation." She handed one picture to each of them to review. "I don't see either, no bleeding, tearing, or scaring. That is exactly what we wanted. When is your next period due?" Eric answered saying next week. "Your cleared for sex, keep an eye out for severe cramping but I would guess that if nothing unforeseen pops up you should be pregnant before you know it." Eric was up and pulled Sookie off the table hugging her and she was giggling.
"Dr. Ludwig, thank you." Sookie was so happy.
They walked out of the doctors office and Eric told Sookie he needed to run by Fangtasia. When the arrived they went to the empty bar and entered through the front door. Eric told her security to stay in the car they would be fine. He walked ahead of her to the office, sitting on his chair he moved to his computer and was tapping something on the keyboard. She just sat on the couch to wait for him, he took his phone out his pocket and dialed it.
Sookie sat there staring at him, his lips were delicious, his long neck was bare but for his necklace and the tank top he had on was low and it showed all of his gorgeous neck, his long fingers were moving quickly on the keyboard. Standing she went to her husband and he turned in his chair patting his knee for her to sit and she did. Her legs went around him, her finger trailed his long neck, top to bottom then up again. His fangs ran down, she leaned into him to put her tongue on his fang, her hands began running under his tight shirt to feel his cold skin of his muscled body, they ended up in his lap to unzip his jeans. She had wore a dress today so she lifted the material up and over her head sitting on her husband with just a bra and panties on in the color of aqua. Gracious plenty was free and she moved her body a little to move the material separating her center and his. Her arms went around his neck and she pulled her self up and down on him. She gasped at the impact on her tiny body, her insides stretching to make room for his large size. Eric's phone he tossed on the desk, he pulled her to him to kiss her so hard she could feel the swelling of her lips immediately. "Oh yes Sookie! I have dreamt of this every day, I thought I would explode if I couldn't feel you on me soon!" He was panting, Eric never breathed but what she was doing to him made him pant.
Her bodies rhythm was quick and easy on her husbands lap, her insides squeezing her husbands length with each push up. She was calling to him, while his hands moved from her breasts to her hips trying to slow her down, and she did, she wanted to savor every second of him inside her. Sookie's eyes closed and her head moved back the intensity was over taking her, her moans getting louder. Eric bent his head down to her breast to lick then he bit her, the blood trickled quickly and he took what he could before licking it closed. Eric grasped her hips again and began to set the pace, his body moving to thrust up against her, Sookie's hold was slipping, she placed her hands on each side of his neck to hold on. Her eyes came to his. "Look at me Eric, God I love you." Her voice was shaking from the pleasure they were causing each other.
Eric's eyes never left hers, he took control building them up and when he was ready to finish he thrust hard against his wife to bring her with him, she was screaming and he began to growl as their orgasm rolled over them. Sookie put her head on his shoulder to steady herself as her aftershocks continued. "My love, you are more incredible than I can describe." She giggled against her husbands body. Eric pulled her face up to look at her. "I love you." He lightly kissed her lips then pulled her to his chest to rub her back. "I will finish my work at home, lets get you home to rest." He stood to put her on the side of the desk and he bent down to get her dress she had discarded on the floor to put over her head. She pulled the material down her body while Eric adjusted his zipper on his jeans. Sookie moved to stand but he picked her up carrying her with her legs wrapped around his waist, she rested her head on his shoulder.
They were on the road and almost home before she even knew it. When they pulled up there was a police car sitting in the front of the property waiting for them, a New Orleans police car. "Crap!" was all Sookie could say.
