Chapter 32

The clock read 1:03 a.m. Sookie woke startled, her eyes focusing on the clock. It took a minute for her mind and her eyes to focus to where she was, she was in bed at home. Her kids lay next to her still, their bubbles just as bright as they were when she went to bed hours ago. Eric still wasn't home, she knew he wasn't. She concentrated, opened their bond feeling him, he was enraged and his adrenaline was pumping through him. Closing her eyes she took deep breathes and tried to let the bond close with little luck. Readjusting the pillows she laid back, she felt a dizzy, she put her hand over her belly. "Baby, give mommy a break ok? Daddy isn't here and we need to be on our game, remember? Daddy put us on alert." The feeling began to fade, she felt love. Her eyes blinked, shocked. "Wow." She spoke out loud, she never had that happen with the other kids, Eric of course could do that but not her. It was a cool feeling she thought. Before long she was back to sleep.

When she woke again it was 8:43, Erika was whimpering. Sookie sat up, kissed her daughter and told her she would be right back. She went to the bathroom and quickly took care of what she needed and went out to get her babies. Johan was waking, his little hands were rubbing his eyes. "Mommy!" His sweet face smiled when he realized where he was and his mother was close by.

She took her phone off the charger and put it in her pocket. "Morning baby. Come on, lets go change everyone and get downstairs for some breakfast." She helped Johan off the bed and put him on his feet to walk then scooped up the twins. They headed to the nursery for a quick change of diapers and clothes then they headed down the stairs. Johan was well ahead, he could smell the pancakes and sausage, Trish greeted him and put him in his chair to eat.

"Morning Sookie. Did you sleep well?" Trish smiled brightly at Sookie.

"Yes, me and the kids had a slumber party. You haven't seen Eric have you?" Sookie put the twins in their chair and looked around.

"No, he hadn't come in since I have been here." Trish put the cut up food on Johan's tray with his sippie cup then went back into the kitchen and brought out the babies food and Sookie's. "Here, eat then we can figure out where the Viking is. I am sure he is working." Sookie nodded not sure what to think.

Sookie was cleaning up the kids when she heard the door open, Amelia and Alcide came in. "Morning Sook." Amelia went to Johan and kissed him then put him on the floor, he ran out of the room.

"Hey y'all. Alcide, you haven't heard from Eric have you?" She looked up to him, his face was serious, not his usual expression.

"No. Amelia call me if you need me ok? I've got to run. Have a good day ladies." He was gone as quick as he came in.

Sookie knew something was up. "Amelia?"

Her friend took Erika from her. "What?"

"Does he know something about where Eric is?" Sookie had Enar and they went to the living room. Lily was sitting on chair talking to Johan.

"Sook, his phone rang all night. He says he is going to work but I know he isn't. I don't know what is going on. You haven't heard from Eric?" Sookie shook her head no. "Since when?" Amelia set the baby on the floor to play. Sookie set Enar right next to his sister.

"It was early, maybe eight last night. I went to bed, Eric left to go to Fangtasia and Pam called me telling me to be on alert. Where is he?" Sookie took her phone out of her pocket and checked to make sure she didn't miss a call or text. Neither were there. She text him anyway.

Sookie: Eric, please text me back so I know your alright.

She held her phone in her hand waiting. Sookie asked Lily to watch the kids and she went outside the back door to call his phone. Her nervousness of him not calling started to get to her. His phone rang until it went to voicemail. "Sweetie if you get this just text me back so I know your ok."

Amelia stepped out with her. "I am sure he is fine Sookie, don't worry."

"Would you worry if Alcide was gone all night and didn't call?" She looked hard at her friend.

"Yes, I guess I would." Amelia looked away.

"I am going to take a shower, I will be back in a few minutes." She stopped and told Lily where she was going and went to take a shower. If Eric wasn't home soon she was going to Fangtasia herself. She started the water in the shower, undresses and stepped in. Baby was making her nauseas again, her hand went to her belly. "Baby, you got to give mommy a break this morning ok? Daddy hasn't come home and I really cant be throwing up every second right now." Her stomach began to feel better. She took the shampoo to wash her hair, she felt him the minute he walked in the door. Quickly she rinsed her hair so she could see him. Cracking the stall door she called him, he stepped into the bathroom, his clothes dirty, bloody and tore. "Oh my God Eric, are you alright?"

He smiled to her. "Yes, lover, just had some things to take care of. I am sorry I didn't call but I was on my way home and on the phone when you called. Turn the heat up, I am getting in." She backed up, to let him get in. She could feel his lust, his need, his want for her. She closed her eyes his emotions stunned her. He got in, put his head under the water, grabbed the soap to quickly wash the dirt and blood off his hands and body. When he was rinsed he spun around to pull her to him. "Sookie, I need you." His head moved down to look into her eyes, she saw his look, he wanted her desperately. Her husband's beautiful lips kissed hers hard.

"I need you too sweetie, I was so worried." She responded to his kisses, until she couldn't breathe.

Eric pushed her to the tile of the shower. He moved back breaking the kiss. His hand went to her belly, he looked into her eyes. "Sookie?" She smiled up at him and kissed him again. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her neck then he pulled back again, breaking the skin on his wrist and putting it to her mouth. "Drink my love."

Sookie didn't hesitate, she greedily drank every drop she could get. She leaned against the tile when she was done, putting her hand to her belly, she felt something she couldn't put a name on. "Wow."

Eric looked down on her concerned. "What is it lover?" She took his hand and put it on her belly again. He looked down for a minute then looked up at her. "Is that him?" She nodded. "He almost feels happy. How is that possible? He is so tiny." She shook her head. "Wow, is right then." His big hand holding her belly tighter, Eric closed his eyes and concentrated on his child. "I am here son, I love you very much." He bent down and kissed Sookie's belly. Sookie reached behind her and shut off the water. Her hand reached for his, grabbed a towel to dry them off then she walked them to the bed and knelt on it. Eric's hands went into her wet hair, pulling her close to him. She moaned yes to him. He smiled down on her, his hands began to touch every inch of her with his powerful hands, he moved his long fingers to her breasts, he ran his palm over them. "I told you I knew these so well didn't I? They are swelling even more now my love, amazing." His mouth came down to kiss each slowly, he nibbled on each nipple, her eyes closed and she moaned.

"Eric. I love you so much." He looked up at her at the response she had to his touch. He gently laid her back, his hands never stopped touching her, his hand finally went to her nub and rubbed her quickly bringing on her first orgasm. "Oh Eric!" When she could clear her mind she sat up and pushed him back on the bed, she wanted to taste him, he grunted at her when her mouth went around his cock. He pulled her to him, her center near his face. She continued bobbing up and down on him, he inserted his long fingers inside her center then he moved in and out of her while her behind gyrated on his hand all the while she took all of gracious plenty into her mouth. She was panting against his shaft while she sucked him. Her mouth was doing wonderful things to him, he needed her so desperately, just the sight of her on him made him want to come, but he let her do what she wanted to him and within minutes he was screaming her name, all of his juices overflowing into her mouth, she licked him clean then turned to smirk at him. "Yummy."

He pulled her to his chest, they lay chest to chest. "You, my little vixen are amazing." He kissed her mouth, then rolled her over on her back. "Spread you legs for me Sookie." She did. "More and pull them up to you.' She opened wider doing as he asked. "I want you so much, I need to fuck you." Sookie giggled, she loved him like this, playful and possessive. "Watch me my love, look at me while I fuck you." Her eyes never left his, his cock was relentless, he pounded her like it was the last time he would ever have her, she was full of sweat and crying out when he bit her breast taking her blood. Her teeth bit into his arm as she came, as soon as the skin was opened he came hard, so hard his body shook and he lost his balance crushing down on her. He rolled her over to face him. She was giggling. "Why is my wife laughing at her husband?"

"Because you do things to me that make me feel so good they should be illegal." She giggled again.

"You are wicked my bride." He kissed her and pulled her closer. She could tell he was tired and worried.

"Eric?" He hummed her. "Is everything alright?"

His eyes met hers. She asked, he would tell her. "Word has already gotten out about the baby. I got some information on a demon that finds our newest child interesting. I needed to take care of it."

"Is that who I saw in the vision? A demon?" He nodded. "I could kill Niall for starting this."

"I agree, he tried to sacrifice one child to save the other. I have no intensions of anyone harming my children. What I had to do last night was brutal and swift, I know there will be more but I will handle it." He lightly kissed her shoulder.

She looked up at him. "I know you will sweetie, I have no doubt of that."

"How did you sleep last night? I am sorry I wasn't here with you." His hand went to her belly and stayed there.

"Fine, after Pam called I brought the babies in here with me. We slept as good as we could without you." She grinned at him.

"Are you feeling alright?" His eyes looked concerned, his hand rubbed back and forth on her belly.

"Yes, I told the baby to give me a break on the morning sickness and it actually worked." She looked proud of herself, he smiled and gently kissed her.

"I want to talk to you about something. I am considering giving Nevada to Stan. Do you have any input on that?" He looked at her closely.

She thought about it for a minute. "I think that is a good idea. You can focus on Louisiana, your King status and us. You are pretty spread thin. What about Pam? She loves Vegas."

"She is the one wearing herself thin. I have spoken to her and as much as she will miss it I could tell she was relieved. I will have Stan come here and we can finalize it. I spoke with Xavier and he suggested it. He feels I should spend more time doing other things than worrying about that state, he suggested my family. That is something that will always get my full attention. But I believe there is an ulterior motive to his suggestion." He looked at her seriously.

"The community wont think your weak for giving it up will they?" She was concerned.

"If it were in shambles, yes. Nevada is making more money now than it did in its heyday. Every King or Queen in the states wants it. They will be envious of Stan for getting it." Eric pulled her closer to him.

"Your not going to give up Louisiana right?" She looked deep in his eyes, she didn't see any deception in them.

He shook his head no. "You asked that of me and I will not, no. Besides, I enjoy our little state, I would be a fool to let someone else take control of it. No, do not worry lover, your friends and family will remain under my rule." She nodded. "What was it you mentioned to me earlier you needed to speak with me about?"

She had to think about it for a second and then it hit her. "Oh, right. I think that its time I hire someone to replace Amelia, someone I can get to help she and I both, really. She has a lot going on now with the baby, her position as Alcide's wife and I couldn't live without her so I will get someone part time and let Amelia keep an eye on that mundane stuff. That way she doesn't go stir crazy out of boredom and I can spend more time with the babies. Win, win!"

Eric laughed at his wife. "My love, you are something else, but it pleases me you realize you need the help. Do as you wish, I just want you happy. If you need a dozen assistances, hire them. Yours and our children's health and happiness is all I care about. Paper pushers, I could care less about. Have you spoken to Alcide about this?"

"Yes and he thanked me for still allowing her to help. We all know once the baby comes she will be busy so I didn't want to have to make her think she had to give up time with the baby to worry about my queen responsibilities and things." She cuddled closer to him, he looked so tired.

"Allow me to talk with Pam, we may have someone we can recommend that has loyalty to us. I would rather your personal assistant be someone that I have screened for security issues. Alright?"

She nodded. "Ok, now close your eyes Viking."

He pulled back to look at her. "What?"

"Close your beautiful blue eyes and sleep now. You're tired and how can I make love to my husband later if he is too tired to actually do it." She giggled.

"You are asking for a paddling my wife, are you not?" His face softened and he laughed at his wife.

"Sleep now Eric, you're so tired. You would do the same for me. Close them." She put her soft hand to his face and gently rubbed his cheek as his eyes closed. His hand stayed on her belly but the grip on her eased up, she knew he was asleep. She laid next to him looking at his face, the face of an angel. She wiggled out from under his grip and got dressed. As she came down the stairs she heard the voices of her cousins talking to Amelia.

"Hey, what are you two doing here? Did I forget something?" Sookie looked between Claude and Claudine

Claude walked to her and grabbed her hands. "Another child cousin?" He looked down to her belly. She smiled up at him.

"Yes Claude, another one. Why are you here today besides to pester me?" She went to hug Claudine.

"We have to work with the kids. Niall was adamant that we spend every moment we can working with all of you especially the kids. So, here we are!" Her cousin looked so please with her self.

Sookie shook her head. "Well, I have some things I need to talk to you both about anyway." Amelia got up and took Johan outside. Lily grabbed the twins and followed behind her. She would remember to thank them both later. "We need to talk about what happened the other night, with my fairy scent."

Claude stood up, Sookie could tell he was still mad about the whole situation. "Sookie, why do you torture yourself? Come to Fairy with us and be done with this ridiculousness."

"Claude, you know that is not possible, she has important things to do here in her world. Sookie, look, we have a hard time masking our scent sometimes but your seems to be amplifying itself. It's the baby, not you. You can't control his scent. You will just have to be really careful what you do with Eric, you need to stay in control. What Enar did was rare and it took a lot out of him to do." Claudine looked at her cousin then to her brother.

"Why am I craving blood?' Sookie wasn't pulling any punches today.

Claude walked to his cousin, he looked down to her and she nodded. He put his hand over her belly. "He is powerful, I sense the vampire in him and the fairy. I think he might be sensitive to the sun like Eric was, he will need more blood than your other children need. Expose your skin as much as you can to the sun, get him used to it. He is a part of the children of sky, it is important he is out in the daylight."

"You can feel him too? I have been getting pings of something from him for the last couple days, like happiness, or at least what I thought was happiness. He likes when I drink blood and when I am around Eric." Claude stepped away to sit next to her.

Claude's face contorted to anger. "Poor kids, of all the creatures on the planet you mate with that gigantic asshole."

Sookie stood up. "Don't call him that again Claude. I wont stand here while you insult him. If you cant respect him in his home you can just go." Her hands went to her hips.

"Sorry cousin, he makes me angry. I will behave. Come on sister, lets get this lesson going. I have a early date this evening." He grinned devilishly and went out the back door.

"Are you alright Sookie? Are you feeling ok?" Claudine looked nervous.

"Yep, I am feeling pretty good actually. Don't worry." She followed her cousins to the yard to get their lessons going.

Eric found them later laughing and Johan levitating his sister in the air. He stepped into the yard and Sookie turned to look at him. "Hi sweetie, look at Johan's new trick. Put her down baby, do the other one for daddy." Johan slowly put his sister back on the ground. Eric walked to his family, he nodded to Claudine and softly growled at Claude. "Be nice Eric, I mean it." She smiled and turned back to Johan.

Claude gave Eric a dirty look then looked at his little cousin. "Ok sport, remember what I said." He nodded to Johan and Johan told him ok. Johan raised his hands and Claude went flying backwards through the yard. Eric's oldest son jumped up and down, Eric went to stand next to his son. Claude was getting back on his feet to come back to them.

"Johan! That is amazing. Come here my son!" Eric held his arms out and Johan folded into his father's embrace. "He is coming along well then?" Eric was addressing Claudine.

"Eric, he is amazing, I have never seen a child so powerful this early, really. Even Enar, shall we show him cousin?" Claudine looked down to Enar then to Eric.

Sookie grinned and went to kneel beside Enar. "Ok, my little warrior, show daddy, remember, don't hurt him." She moved to let Eric see what his son could do. Enar remained sitting on his diapered butt, he looked up at his mother and she backed away. The light began around him and his sister, when Enar protected himself, he protected his sister. "Try to penetrate it Eric." Eric sat Johan down on his feet and went over to try to put his hand through it and he couldn't. "He puts more force into but because its you he isn't, its similar to the one I do, but his jolt is way more than mine." Eric turned to look at Sookie, he was shocked.

"This is a good thing is it not? If he feels in danger he can protect them. That is a relief." Eric bent down to him and his light disappeared and he pick him up. "My little warrior, you are truly a gift to your mother and I." He tickled the sides of his stoic son and he began to giggle, he called to Eric.

"Alright sister, we have worked these kids enough today. We will see you in the afternoon tomorrow cousin." Sookie said her goodbyes and they popped.

"Sookie, this really is amazing what our children can do. It was good Claudine and Claude came today." Eric stood looking around the yard, his children were growing so quickly, Enar was pulling up on a chair, he wanted to be mobile so desperately and he took every opportunity he could to strengthen his little body to prepare for it. Johan was running around yard and Erika was crawling on the grass.

"Yep, Niall sent them to us today. He said something at the summit about us being prepared for the new baby. I got the impression he is really worried about this baby. I just hope no one ever figures out it is Enar they are really looking for." She looked worried. Lily picked up the kids and took them into the house.

"We will take care of it, do not worry about this lover. I have already begun my assault on the demon world. I will be meeting with representatives of the Demon world in two days. I need to call Niall and ask if he can be present. We need to be a united front on this, with Niall, myself and Alcide, I believe that may give them pause before attacking us. The demons fear Niall and his warriors, that is definitely a plus in this situation." Eric walked to her putting his hands around her, kissed her neck.

"Call my great grandfather, I have got to get these little ones fed and down for a nap." She pulled away.

"Sookie, we have help here, Lily, Trish, let them take care of the children, you will wear yourself out. You need rest, the doctor was adamant about that." He was giving her the look, the one that said he wanted her to do something and he didn't want no for an answer.

"Eric, these are my kids. If I can I want to be the one to feed them and take care of them. That is my job. We are home and its important to me sweetie. They need me." Her eyes welled up.

"Do not cry my love, let Lily help you please. Then I want you lay down and rest a bit alright?" His arms tightened around her.

"Do you have to go to work?" She wanted to change the subject.

He nodded his head. "Yes, Stan will be here tomorrow evening to sign the paperwork to take over Nevada. I need to make some arrangements for that and speak with Niall."

"Ok, you go take care of what you need to do. I am feeding my kids lunch now." She started to walk away.

"Sookie, I forgot to mention I have a contractor coming out in the morning to meet with us." He knew she was going to throw a fit and he braced himself for it.

"Why do we need to meet with a contractor Eric?" Her hands went to her hips. He was ready.

He looked down at her. "I would like to add some rooms to the house."

"You didn't want to talk to me about this before you made the decision? Why do we need more rooms Eric and what kind of rooms?" Her face was turning red.

"I believe with our growing family we need more bedrooms, I would like a big play room for the kids." To start with he thought.

"I see." She turned to walk away from him.

"Sookie?" She turned again to look at him. "I know your angry, I did not ask them here to make you mad, I want to think of the future. When we built this house we did not know we would have four kids, possibly more. They will grow, they need their own space and we need to prepare for that."

"Ok, fine Eric." She leaned up and kissed him and went to find her kids.

Eric left to go to Fangtasia or where ever he was needed. Sookie told Amelia to go home and rest. Lily and Sookie got the kids bathed, changed, fed and down for naps. They were practically asleep during their baths they were so tired after the session with Claude and Claudine. Sookie ate her lunch and got a True Blood out of the refrigerator and dank it quickly. When that was all done she went to her room to take a bath. The water she made really warm, her skin would be red she knew when she got out but she didn't care. The bath oil she added was a vanilla. She took her clothes off and slipped into the water. When she was settled in the water her stomach started to do flip flops. She put her hand on her belly. "My sweet baby, that is enough of that. We need to come some sort of agreement. I can't spend weeks being sick. You will make daddy worried and make mommy weak. Can you help mommy with this?" Her stomach stopped jumping around and she smiled. "Thank you baby, I love you." Her eyes closed and she was sound asleep when Eric came in.

He rushed to the bathtub concerned. "Sookie?" He reached his arms into the water fully clothed, her eyes opened.

"Hi sweetie." She smiled at him.

"Are you alright? Are you sick?" His face was tortured with concern.

She sat up and he pulled her out of the water bringing her naked chilled body to his. "I fell asleep, you were right, I was tired. Baby and I took a bath. I got comfy and fell asleep."

He grabbed a towel and wrapped it around body and carried her to the bed. "You aren't sick are you?"

"Oh, no. He tried to make me sick but I talked to him and he stopped. We took a bath, I didn't mean to fall asleep, I am sorry sweetie." She looked away ashamed she scared him.

His hand went to her chin to pull her face back. "Do not apologize my angel. You did nothing wrong. I am just glad you got some sleep. Lets get you in the bed and you can sleep properly."

She shook her head. "No, I want to spend sometime with you." She pouted a bit.

"I am here my love, I am not leaving you. I will lay with you. Come on, lay down." He went to the dresser and got her a t-shirt and pair of shorts. Eric went around the bed and sat her up and put the Fangtasia t-shirt over her head then slid the shorts up her legs then pulled her up to pull them up her backside. "Eric, I am able to get dressed. Stop fussing." She was giggling at him.

"You are my life Sookie, I want to take care of you. You need me, I am here." He took off his wet shirt and undid his jeans after toeing off his boots. He got his pajama bottoms out of the drawer and climbed into the bed with her. He pulled her close and put his hand on her belly. "Can I talk to him?"

"Eric Northman, you don't have to ask me that. He is your son too!" He smiled at her.

Eric got right next to her belly, his hand still resting on her belly. "Hello my son, I hear you were being a good boy today. You need to help mommy, not make her sick. I love you son." Sookie smiled at him, he was just so big and strong and now here he was laying against her belly talking to their child. "Sookie, have you thought of any names yet?"

"No, I haven't even thought about it to be honest. I picked the twins, which of course you loved, but you can pick his name if you want. Do you have something in mind?" She saw him smile at her, he already had something picked out she knew it.

"Well, what if it turns out to be a girl?" His smile turned into a grin.

"If that is so then every supe group we know will be shocked and discredited, including you! I am pretty sure we are having a boy." She hugged him tighter.

"Alright, I was thinking of a name from my homeland, since we seem to have a pattern with our children. How does Gunnar sound?" He smiled at her. She sat straight up and looked shocked. He took her hand in his. "If you do not like the name Sookie, we can name him something else."

Her head shook no and tears welled up. "No, I love it. I had a dream and I heard myself calling him that. Oh my Eric." Tears fell from her eyes.

"You did not tell me about the dream Sookie." He looked at her concerned.

"I forgot all about it until you mentioned it." She wiped her eyes, Eric leaned in to kiss her face where her tears fell, his tongue licking the moisture off her face.

"What was the dream about?" He asked her again, he wanted the answer.

"Gunnar was about two sitting in the middle of the nursery, I was sat with him playing with him. I saw his eyes, your eyes of course, his birth mark and his smile is just like yours. I had the dream the day before we found out we were pregnant. That was it really, I just remember thinking when I woke that his name was from your homeland." Sookie finally stopped crying.

"Yes, it is. Do you like the name?" His arms pulled her close again, he wanted to hold her.

"I love it, Gunnar Northman. Gunnar." The last she whispered then her hand went to her belly. "Gunnar, do you like that name baby?" Sookie felt something and gasped. "Eric!" His hand went to her belly to feel what she did. He smiled at her.

"You and my son need to rest now." He laid her down and kissed her softly. Sookie had other ideas, she didn't want to sleep, she wanted her husband.

"Eric, please." She pulled him closer to her.

"Sleep lover, you are tired." He tried to kiss and move away. She had other ideas.

She rolled over to straddle him. "No Eric, I don't want to sleep, I want you." She moved her hands to his lap to pull his pajama bottoms down.

"Sookie." He warned her, he wanted her to sleep, not exhaust herself.

She took him in her hand and began to stroke his cock, slowly. He growled at first then he began to moan. His eyes closed and he was fighting his self control. "Let me love you Eric." She went up on her knees to move the tiny shorts she was wearing out of the way, Eric's hands came up to her hips and in on pull had them in shreds. Sookie laughed and leaned down on his chest. "Sweetie, that really wasn't necessary."

"Anything that prevents your body to be close to mine, yes, it is necessary." She leaned to kiss him, her teeth taking his lip and pulling.

She ran her hands over his body, she moved down and bit his skin lightly on his neck, his chest, his muscular arms. His arms came up to touch her, one pulled the t-shirt over head then went to her breasts, the other to her thigh stroking both. Eric's hand moved to her belly, he then moved down to her center to reach her nub. His phone began ringing. He growled and she moaned. "Damn it!" She rolled off him and handed the phone to him.

"Yes." He sat up on his elbows to listen to who ever was calling. "How many?" His eyes were changing before her. "I am on my way. Do what needs to be done." He hung the phone up and looked at her. "I am sorry I have to go."

"Eric? What is it?" She looked at him frightened.

"There was an attack on Fangtasia, Pam had been out taking care of some business, when she returned there were armed demons making quite a mess in the middle of the bar. I take it they do not wish to negotiate with me." His voice was low and very lethal.

"I can go with you." She got up to get dressed.

"No, you need to stay here. I do not want you coming in contact with them until we know exactly what is happening. Call your cousins, ask them to meet me at Fangtasia as quickly as they can alright?" He kissed her and was gone.

She picked up her cell on the table and called Claudine. She answered the phone on the third ring. "Claudine, Eric needs you and Claude to meet him at Fangtasia, there is some demons attacking there. Hurry." Claudine told her she would and hung up.

This was the part she disliked, the waiting for something terrible to happen. She put on long work out pants, a bra and one of Eric's tank tops. She went down stairs. It was dark out and she opened the door to the house, Nigel stepped to the door. "My Queen."

"Nigel you should be at Fangtasia, they are having some issues there." She was wringing her hands.

"No my Queen, Eric was insistent on me being here. He will not leave his family unprotected." Nigel's head snapped around. "Get in the house, lock the door. Go to the children and use your magic to protect them. I will come for you when I can." He was gone. Sookie slammed the door and locked it. She hollered for Lily, who ran out with Mark.

"Mark, something is here. Nigel told me to lock the door and not open it."

"Take Lily and go upstairs to the nursery, stay there. Use your magic if you need to Sookie, do not come down, do you understand?" He was heading out the door, he was on the phone the minute he turned his back.

Sookie and Lily ran up the stairs to the Johan's room and took him out of his crib then they ran to the nursery. Johan, she placed him the crib with Enar. Sookie went to the wall, took the heavy dresser and moved it in front of the door then went to her kids and put their protection light over them. Lily looked scared to death. "Stay calm ok?"

Debating on whether to call Eric she did. He answered right away. "Sookie what is it?"

"Eric, Nigel sensed someone outside the house. We are in the nursery with the door locked." She wanted to cry but she wouldn't. She needed to gather her strength and she took a deep breathe.

"Do as Nigel tells you. I will be there as quickly as I can." She could hear the clashing of swords in the background where Eric was, he quickly hung the phone. Sookie heard the hard knock on the door and Lily jumped.

"Sookie, it is me, Bill, let me in." Sookie walked to the door.

"Put your hand against the door." She put hers on the door and felt for him. It was Bill, she knew his energy. She moved the dresser and opened the door. He looked worried. "What is happening?"

"There are about a dozen demons on the front lawn. Nigel and the others will have it handled in no time." He sound convinced, she noticed in that moment he had a huge sword next to him. Great.

The sounds from the front lawn were faint but she could hear the screaming and the clashing of swords. For over an hour Sookie sat on the floor next to Lily who was scared half to death. "Don't worry, our guards will never let anything happen to us."

She looked up with tears in her eyes. "What about Mark? He isn't a supe. He's human!" Her hands went over her face.

"Lily, Mark can handle himself. He knows what he is capable of. I have known him a long time. He is good at what he does." Sookie took Lily's hands away from her face so she could look in her eyes. "Bill, if you let me out there I can end this, quickly."

"No, Eric said for you to stay away from them and let the guards handle it. I agree. We do not want them to know anymore about you than they already do. Besides we might have a replay of when you were kidnapped. Not happening Sookie." Bill stood ready at the door.

Sookie concentrated on the light around her kids. She tightened the energy as much as she could, she would not let anyone touch her kids. If something happened to her she would need help. She stood up and looked at her sleeping son, Enar. She knew he would protect his siblings. Leaning down she kissed her son. "Enar baby, use your light on your siblings baby, ok?" His little eyes opened and he began to fuss. Sookie rubbed his belly and he calmed down. The light Sookie placed over all three grew in color and intensity, the two magics were so strong it took her breath away, she backed up and sat back on the floor.

She felt the creature before she heard anything. Standing she whispered. "Bill." He looked at her and nodded. He felt it too. Sookie was shaking her hands in front of her. She was ready, nothing was going to hurt her kids or family. Her hand went to Bills arm. The demon was outside the door. Bill put his hand on the door knob and looked at her. She closed her eyes and he flung the door open and her hands were throwing her light, the demon was on his knees engulfed before he knew what hit him. Sookie walked to the doorway and looked both ways, nothing was coming she could see or sense.

"Why are you here?" She needed an answer and she would try to get it before she killed him.

His face was contorting, his pain level was unbearable, she could feel the pain she was inflicting on him. He fell on all fours. His head barely able to look up, she asked him again. His eyes went to her belly. "Child."

"You are here to get a child that isn't even born yet! What is the matter with you?" She wanted to choke him.

"You and baby." His skin was turning dark, he was barely able to breath.

She flicked her wrist and the creature and the light were gone. Lily stood looking like she had never seen anything like that in her life. "Bill, keep her here with the kids, I am going to check to see what is happening out front." Bill tried to stop her but she jogged down the stairs and the door flung open stopping her quickly. Eric stood in the doorway, he looked to her and rushed to her. "Oh Eric!"

"Sookie, are you alright? Are the children ok?" His face was full of concern and anger.

"Yep, were fine. I just killed one of the demons outside the nursery, but everyone is fine." She hugged him and she realized then he smelled of blood. "Eric?" She looked down and his shirt was full of it. "Oh my God, are you hurt?" Sookie began pulling his shirt open, breaking the buttons off his shirt as she did and he moaned.

"I will be fine. I am healing now." There was a long slice directly across his belly. It was healing she could see that but it was still pretty deep. She put her arm around him and took him to sit on the couch in the living room, she pulled off his boots and put his legs up on the couch.

"Do not move from this couch until your healed and I mean it." She rushed out of the room and brought him a True Blood, she had warmed it and was shaking it as she came back in. She opened it and handed it to him. "Is there anything I need to know?"

He put the bottle to his lips and drank half of it. "No casualties on our end. We had some injuries as you can see, they are quick bastards, but we got them taken care of at Fangtasia. The ones outside Nigel had pretty much taken care of when I arrived. I am surprised he let one slide by."

Sookie smiled at him. "Let me go up and get Lily, she is a mess." He nodded and she ran up the stairs. Bill was still standing guard over her kids. "Its over Bill, thank you for everything. Eric is downstairs." Bill nodded and headed down. Sookie flicked her wrist and the light was gone over her kids. Sookie put her hand down to help Lily up. Lily looked relieved. "Go, he should be in by now." Lily ran down the stairs and there at the end of the stairs was Mark.

"Oh, Mark!" She rushed to his waiting arms and kissed him hard. "I was so worried."

He laughed. "Sweetheart, this is what I do. I have done this my whole life. It would take more than marshmallows out there to hurt me. You have to be strong." Lily threw her arms around him and he picked her up to take to her room. Sookie smiled at them.

Eric looked upset. "Is our Lily kissing that bastard?"

Sookie was shocked. "Sweetie, they have been a couple for a while."

He shook his head. "No, they have not." He was in denial it seemed.

Sookie laughed. "Yes sweetie, we are losing another one. I swear all this love and happiness makes me sick."

Eric laughed at her. "Well in that case, bring some of that love over here wife. I am an injured warrior and need the help of the kind southern belle."

Sookie grinned at him. She walked over and put her hand on his chest, his injury was almost gone. "I would be happy to help my beautiful husband any way I can." Leaning over she kissed his lips lightly but he pulled her over his lap before she knew what happened. She moved to straddle his lap. "I don't want to hurt you sweetie, lets wait until your feeling better." She sat up on her knees.

Eric's hand went to her belly. He looked up at her. "I have such desire for you Sookie, I think about little other than making love with you." His hand moved under his tank top she was wearing and under her bra to her breasts, he gently rubbed them, they responded to his touch, her nipples hardened and she began to pant. Her eyes closed, she needed him so badly. Eric leaned forward, putting her back to the couch. His eyes were hungry for her, she could see that and it made her heart melt, the feeling this magnificent creatures desire for her. His jeans were unzipped and opened, he pulled her pants down, he didn't want love, he needed the act and she was more than willing to give it. Her back arched and she moaned loud in anticipation.

"Now, Viking!" She growled at him and his head tilted slightly at her, his fangs were down, his lips and fangs grazing her skin as he entered her. It was hard and forceful but she was ready for him, she brought her body up to meet his impact on her body. "Yes!" She wanted him as desperately as he wanted her. Her nails were digging into his skin on his back, her eyes never left his, their bond opened wide and Eric was growling with every thrust he took into her. He moved his body up to get more power to his hip and she groaned at the feeling, his hard cock was relentless. Her body took little time to begin the climb up, she was ready so she turned her head to reach the inside of his arm, biting as hard as she could his head threw back as he growled, Sookie smiled into the wound and moaned sending her over climaxing, Eric leaned down to bite her on the neck and followed her panting. He collapsed on top of her, the feeling of him on her made her feel safe and loved. She rubbed his back, sides and arms as he lay on top of her.

Sookie heard someone clearing their throat from the door way. Eric looked up, he covered her body with his. "What Nigel?"

"I am sorry my King. We need your guidance at your convince Master." She knew he was already gone but she tucked her head into his neck embarrassed.

"No, Sookie, do not be ashamed of this. You are in your home making love with me. There is no shame in that." He kissed her and pulled out then sat between her legs pulling her leg into his lap, he absently rubbed her legs while she pulled her pants back up and adjusted herself. His shirtless body was so beautiful as he moved to zip his zipper back up.

"Easy for you to say, you're the Viking sex God." She giggled and Eric's eyes looked to hers and he laughed too.

"My love, this household hears us making love day in and day out. We scream to the top of our lungs to each other every time. Are you that naïve to believe our family and employees do not hear you screaming my name like a banshee daily?" He was grinning now.

"Oh my God, I never even thought about it! Eric!" Her face turned beat red. He laughed again.

He rolled his eyes and leaned closer to her. "Later when I am fucking you hard and you are screaming my name don't think about it. It is what I love about you, your passion and your need for me. The only vampire here that probably is affected by us is Bill Compton. He really does need to get a life." Eric laughed as he got up then picked her up. "He was probably standing at the door listening." He continued laughing.

"Not funny Eric, not one bit funny!" He took her upstairs to their room.

Her hand went to her belly. Sookie felt something, what it was she couldn't place, she grabbed Eric's hand and put it to her belly then looked up at him. "Do you feel that?"

Eric nodded. "My son is very emotional is he not?"

"I don't know what it is do you?" She looked to him for help. He laid her on the bed and sat next to her.

"It feels like love, does it not?" His hand moved back under her shirt to her belly, his large hand went over the skin of her belly. "Yes, it does. My son." His eyes looked at her belly and she could feel his pride and his ego building.

"Nigel needs you sweetie." She put her hand over his and their fingers entwined together. He nodded and bent down to kiss her. He got up and went downstairs. Her hand stayed on her belly. The feeling the baby was sending her was warming her body, it was incredible. With her other pregnancies she felt their magic, them moving or kicking, but emotions she never felt like this. She realized she wanted to True Blood and as she moved to get up Eric was walking through the door with a cold one.

"Here lover, sit and drink your blood. I will give you more of my blood if you want later." Her husband stood in front of her with just a pair of jeans on that hung low on his waist, it took every ounce of self control not to reach out and stroke the skin above his button of his jeans. Her eyes couldn't look anywhere else. She heard Eric laugh softly and she looked up at him. "I love you Sookie."

"You too sweetie." Her eyes went back to his six pack and his beautiful body. She licked her lips at the sight of him. He turned around and walked slowly out of the room. She knew he was on to her. His rock hard gorgeous ass was it, she moaned and he turned to look at her, grinning and shaking his head. He was gone. Sookie wanted to run after him and run her hands over his body but instead she finished her blood and laid down.

She finished her blood and laid down. Her eyes closed and she was asleep within minutes. Her dreams began, she saw Eric in the nursery, his clothes bloody and torn. She watched Eric standing over the crib that held Gunnar. The look on Eric's face was of anguished, his face was full of blood tears, they were still falling on his face. She watched as her husband put his hand in the crib and rubbed his sons blonde head. Gunnar never woke but Eric stood there a long time before turning. Sookie could feel the pain pulsating off of him. In her dream she tried to reach out to him even though she wasn't in the room with them but he didn't stop, he continued out of the room. Sookie woke with tears in her eyes. "Sookie?" Eric was sleeping next to her. He was woken by her.

"I am sorry sweetie, go back to sleep." She rubbed his arm and he laid back down. Giving him a quick kiss on the lips she went to the bathroom and turned on the shower. She needed a minute and distraction from her husband. He had enough on his mind for her to burden him with dreams. She wasn't convinced that's what it was, could it be a vision and if it was what was it trying to tell her. The water was screaming hot, she stepped in and put her hands on the tile for support. Her head leaned against the cool tile. Never moving she stayed there for a long while until she felt him. She straightened up and grabbed the soap.

"Sookie?" He opened the stall and got in with her. "Tell me what is wrong." He turned her around to face him. He wasn't asking her, he was telling her.

"Nothing Eric." She tried to pull away but he wouldn't let her go.

"My love, I am not asking you. I have felt your feelings the entire time you have been in this shower. I let you have the time in here to work out whatever is going on but now you still stand here and you are upset. Tell me." He looked down on her and he was getting angry.

"I am fine Eric. Ok?" She removed his arms from around her waist and finished lathering her skin.

"No, it is not ok. Sookie." He was warning her now and she was in new territory, she never kept things from him.

She shook her head. "I had a dream, that's it. It was just a stupid dream, alright!"

He looked at the back of her for a moment. "I see and you have no intensions of telling me what you saw. I am disappointed in you Sookie, we have moved to a different level in our relationship over the last month or so. I know I do not keep secrets from you." He started to get out of the shower and Sookie stopped him.

"Wait." She felt like a jerk and she knew that was his intent. "I saw you in the nursery, standing over Gunnar's crib. Your clothes were bloody and torn and you were crying. That's it, that's what I saw."

He stood for a moment not moving taking in what she said. "Nothing is set in stone yet my love. Do not let these visions upset you. I believe that the reason you are having them is to get this threat taken care of and believe me I will. I will have my hands on the throat of the one I saw in your vision. When I do he will meet his final death, trust me." His hands went around her waist and pulled her into a kiss. Her tears started, not because she was scared but because she let her old insecurities creep back up on her.

"I am sorry Eric, you are right, I was just trying to protect you. I didn't want you to worry and I should have told you from the beginning. Please forgive me."

His hand went to her face and he wiped the tear with his index finger then put it to his mouth. He smiled at her. "I could never stay upset with my bride. Sometimes you are more stubborn then anything I have ever seen but you meant well. Do not keep things from me Sookie, I am your husband, it is my job to be your protector and I can not if you do not tell me what you know." She hugged him closer and nodded. "Your cousins will be here soon and we must get you through the day. I plan to stay home with you today. You will need a nap before we go to Fangtasia tonight. You will go with me, yes?"

She looked up at him. "You want me to go with you to meet Stan?" He nodded. "Sure! I would love too. Yeah, a nap will definitely be happening if we are going to be out late. You can take one with me." She was giddy.

They got out of the shower, dressed and went to get the day started. Kids were collected, fed, bathed and change. Claude and Claudine arrived on time and the group moved to the back yard. Eric sat on the bench with a True Blood watching his wife and kids practice their magic. He thought how much confidence Sookie had now, she was evolving into a power super natural being now. She was no longer the unsure or frightened woman she was three years ago or even a year ago. His smile was beaming at her as she jumped up and down with each magic she leaned. Johan was the same, he would grin and squeal to Sookie and a couple times they ran to him in all their excitement. Eric got up and went to bend down to Johan when he came over to him. "Nice job son. I am very proud of you!" Johan smiled and hugged his father then went back to the training session.

Sookie came over and hugged him around his side. "Isn't it cool, the stuff we can do? I had no idea, did you?"

"It is definitely cool. No, I had no idea the magnitude of the magic either of you had. Johan is like a sponge, there is not one thing he has difficulty with." Eric stood looking at his son.

Claude walked to them. "That is because of his age. He can open his mind and focus where Sookie has other thoughts and things in her head that she has to tuck away before getting it. Eric, you need work with him with the sword now." Eric had brought them out and put the behind the bench he was sitting at. Sookie looked at Claude like she wanted to punch him.

"Alright, are you all staying for this?" Claude nodded. "Good, you can spar with him when I am done." Claude nodded again. Eric wanted no one teaching his son to use a sword but him but he would allow others to spar with him, it was good practice. "Johan, get your sword son, it is time."

Johan bounced to behind the bench and grabbed it. "Yeah daddy! I get to use my tricks."

Eric looked down on his son. "Your sword is the extension of you son, you may use your magic for defense but when you have your sword in your hands you must respect that and use it properly." Johan nodded and got into position.

Sookie sat on the bench and watched her son and husband practice, her son was getting really good at handling the weapon now. He was graceful and quick like his father, sure he would be practicing for years but Sookie looked at her child, the mini version of Eric and saw him grown, tall and strong like Eric, wielding the sword sparring with his father. She wanted to cry at the thought, she was so proud of her son and her husband. When Eric thought it was time he moved to allow Claude into the mix. Claude was just as poised with the sword, his long black hair flowing behind him, he looked like a God standing before them. When the males were done Sookie rushed to her son and picked him up twirling him in the air. "Baby, I am so proud of you!"

Johan giggled. "Mommy, I not baby, I warrior!" Everyone laughed, Sookie apologized and hugged him tighter.

"Yes, my son will be a great warrior!" Eric was beaming.

They all went inside, Claude and Claudine left and Eric took the twins to get them down for a nap. Johan was too wired to sleep so Lily took him to the living room to read a story to him. Sookie went to the kitchen to get a blood when Mark walked in. "Sookie, the contractor is here to see you and Eric." She had completely forgotten about that. Her eyes narrowed and Mark backed up. "Hey, don't kill the messenger, I am just letting you know they are here." Sookie could hear Eric talking to men in the foyer. She went out to greet them.

There were two nice looking men in their forties standing next to Eric. She walked up and held her hand out and shook their hands. "Hello, I am Sookie. Please come in, would you gentlemen like something to drink? We have fresh coffee." She smiled at them.

"No, ma'am, thank you very much. I am Paul Johnson and this is my brother Mike. Mr. Northman asked us to swing by and talk with you both about an addition. I know when we built this house I told him he should have gone bigger but he assured me you would want something more comfortable not grand." He grinned at Eric who smiled down on him. Eric obviously knew these men and took their kidding well.

"I did and still do just want comfortable. My husband on the other hand has other ideas. He is hoping we raise a football team so he wants to get the dorm rooms ready now." Eric laughed and so did the men.

"Mrs. Northman, we will do all we can to keep the house the way you like it but still give you some more space for your growing family. It will take some time and I think Mr. Northman is wise to start now before the space is really needed." He looked at his brother who smiled at her.

"Come this way please, I see you have brought some plans with you." She nodded at the rolled up plans in his hand. He nodded and she took him to the dining room table so he could lay them out and show the plans to them.

They spent about thirty minutes going over the plans and revising here and there. Sookie still was not happy about the idea of construction workers and people in and out of the house. She knew she would get used to it and the men promised it wouldn't take too long. Eric was thrilled at her acceptance and the thought of filling the new rooms with children. She on the other hand thought he was nuts.

When they were done and the contractor left Sookie looked to Eric. "Sweetie, when they are ready to get started maybe we should take the kids and go to New Orleans for a few weeks."

He looked at her. "I suppose we could, let me see what happens between now and then. I do not like to leave Fangtasia too long."

The day progressed, Eric had some phone calls to make, Sookie spent the afternoon reading and playing with the kids, when Sookie laid the kids down for their afternoon nap she laid down for an hour. Later that night dinner was served and she and her family sat to eat. Sookie was laughing at the faces Enar was making at the sweet potatoes she was trying to feed him. "Your son definitely does not care for these. Look at his face Eric!" She put her hand to her mouth to keep from laughing at her son, he looked upset at being teased.

"Lover, do not tease my child. He does not like whatever that is you are trying to force on him. Here, give him to me." Eric took his son from his chair, pricked his finger and put it in his sons mouth. Enar smiled up at his father. "See."

Sookie rolled her eyes and spooned the potatoes into Erika who had no issue with them. Her daughter was turning in her chair to see why her brother got to sit on daddy's lap and she didn't. Johan was said something to Erika, she turned back in her chair and opened her mouth for another bite. "Thank you Johan. You are such a big help to mommy." Johan said your welcome and went back to eating his dinner. Eric laughed hard at his oldest son.

"Sookie, how is it these children are little people already? They are each so different." He continued laughing.

"This is your punishment Viking. You passed your genes onto them. If they were like me they would be perfect angels." She grinned teasing Eric. Her children really were angels but she wanted to give him a hard time.

"I believe that one is just like you." He pointed to Erika, it was true the little girl was just like her she thought.

"Ok, so what about those two, hum? You have silly Eric and warrior Eric. What will this baby be?" She rubbed her belly.

He laughed at her again then tried to look offended. "Silly Eric? Sookie, I am not silly nor is my child. I am over a thousand years old. I am vampire, I am not silly."

"Yes you are. Sometimes you are really silly. Get over it." She stuck her tongue out at him.

"Mommy, that is not nice." Johan saw her stick her tongue out, he looked at his mother and frowned.

"See! Just like you!" She told Johan sorry and giggled.

Eric almost spit the True Blood he was drinking out of his nose he laughed so hard. "Feed your daughter Sookie, we need to get ready to go." He snickered and rubbed Enar's blonde head.

Alcide came in to the dining room. "Hey are we still on for the meeting at Fangtasia walking dead?" He was smiling.

"Yes, soon to be neutered, we will be leaving at seven. Stan's airbus van should be at Fangtasia at eight. Are you still meeting us there?" Enar was done eating and he was climbing up his father's chest to blow on Eric's face. Eric was laughing at his son and returning the gesture to Enar's cheeks.

"Ok, I will see you there at seven. I am headed to check on the wife. See you in a bit." He strolled out the door, Sookie watched him leave.

"Like what you see wife?" He was giving her the eye.

Her eyebrows went up. "Eric, I was not looking at him like that. I just thought he is awful happy, is all." Eric laughed again.

They got the kids dressed for bed and took them to Lily in the living room so they could get ready for their meeting with Stan. They got in the shower together, the water was warm and Sookie couldn't keep her hands to herself. She was bent over with Eric thrusting into her backside before she knew what happened. Her screams were like fuel for him to push harder, she laughed wickedly at what her husband was doing. Sookie's panting turned to groans and then together they climaxed biting into one another. Eric finished washing them then took her out of the shower, dried her off, then himself. He pushed her back on the bed and rubbed himself all over. "Sweetie, what are you doing?"

"There will be vampires there, I want no one to dispute you belong to me Sookie." His eyes were dark and possessive.

"Eric, I am married to you, bonded to you, had three of your children, pregnant with another and I seem to have a bite mark on my neck you did not heal for some reason. What the hell is going on?" She sat up to look at him.

"I just want to make sure no one mistakes who you belong too. That is all." He was smirking.

He got up and went to the closet to get dressed, she laid on the bed propping herself up on her elbows. She would get his for this she thought, she had just the thing. Going to her closet she pulled out a dress she bought while in St. Louis. It was silk and the top of the dress button up to the v of her cleavage, it has short sleeves and hugged her bodice tight, the skirt of the dress was very narrow on her hips and the skirt hugged her like a glove. She put on a red bra and thong, slipped the dress over her head and bent down to get a leopard print five inch high heel. Eric's back was still to her so she hurried to the vanity table and put on her make up and brushed out her hair putting it in a high pony tail. She put on rubies on her ears and wrist and left her neck bare. If he wanted everyone to see the bite mark on her neck she would leave it naked. She grabbed the wrap she bought to go with it and turned around to see Eric staring at her backside. "Do I look ok?'

He stood completely still. He was in a white dress shirt, black jeans and boots. He looked good enough to eat. "Sookie." He whispered her name. He slowly walked toward her and pulled her up to kiss. "Amazing. You are so incredibly gorgeous."

She giggled, grabbed his wallet and phone and handed it to him. "Lets go hot stuff. You are looking mighty scrumptious yourself."

They took the corvette to Fangtasia. They got there early like he had told Alcide, Eric took them to his office and he helped her to sit on the couch, he went to his chair and began making calls and checking emails. She sat for a few minutes then realized she was hungry. "Sweetie, I am going to get a blood alright?" He nodded and she went out to get it. She ran into Alcide coming in the door. "Hey Alcide, he's in the office. You want something to drink?"

He smiled and nodded. "Coke's fine. Were working." He winked and she went to get their drinks. She warmed up a blood for Eric while she was at it. When she got back to the office Eric was off the phone and his eyes never left her. He watched her come in, hand Alcide his drink, set hers down on the desk and then his to him. "Thank you lover." She smiled shyly at him then he patted his lap for her to sit, she climbed up as lady like as she could. He turned her a little so no one who came in could see up her dress, she appreciated his thoughtfulness. Alcide and Eric talked about business while she nursed her blood.

Time flew quickly, Pam appeared in the doorway. "Well, good evening all. What do we have here? Sookie, you look like a little doll in that dress. Maybe Master will let me play dress up?" Pam smirked at Eric.

"Pamela, do you have nothing better to do this evening than to anger me?" He was smirking right back at her.

"Why should you be the only one having all the fun Eric? You get all the goodies, can you blame me for trying?" Alcide was covering his mouth to not laugh.

"Do not encourage her mutt. She really needs to be punished but I seem to have a soft spot for her." He clicked his tongue at her and she came in and sat.

"Lets get this over with shall we? I am losing my baby tonight, I believe I may need to go on a killing spree to heal my broken heart." She pretended to pout.

Sookie leaned into Eric's chest and laughed hard. Eric was rubbing her back to calm her down. When Sookie got her bearings back she looked to Pam. "Come to the house and pick up your sibling. That should help you take your mind off Vegas Pam." Pam's eyes lit up.

"I will do that on Monday!" She got up and flashed out of the room.

Alcide looked at Eric. "That one really is a handful isn't she?"

Eric looked serious at his friend. "You really have no idea Alcide, it is traumatic to me sometimes." Sookie swatted his chest and giggled.

"Master, King David is here." She moved and Stan came in the office. Pam stood in the doorway.

"Well, you have brought the light of my long life! Sookie!" She stood and hugged him, he hugged her back holding her tightly.

"Davis, unhand my bonded before I get my sword down off the wall." Eric sat perfectly still.

Stan laughed and looked Sookie in the face. "Are you packed sweetheart? We can be on our way to Paris within the hour." Sookie leaned in and kissed his cheek and she heard the wood on Eric's chair creak he was holding onto it so tightly.

"Sweetie, I told you I am interviewing new husbands. You have been naughty and given me everything a girl could ask for." She hopped back on to his lap and kissed him, his hand went behind her head and pulled her in for a long, tongue twisting kiss. Pam was making kissing sounds to them.

"Stop before I stake myself, you flighty little thing. Just when I had my hopes up the Viking prevails again." Stan looked down on them smiling.

"Get in line old man. Half the supe community would stake him over her." Alcide was getting a jab in on his friend.

Eric set Sookie on her heels and stood. "Lets get this done shall we?" Eric went to the file cabinet and pulled out the paperwork setting it in front of Stan. "Sign the paperwork my friend and you are now King of Texas and Nevada." Stan looked it over, it was standard and he signed his name on the line.

They moved out to Eric's booth in the bar. The bar began to fill with vampires and fangbangers. The music was low enough for everyone to talk to each other. Pam stood at the end of the table interjecting when she needed too. The males talked business, the meeting tomorrow night, money, issues with some vampires and Sookie was listening carefully. The song changed to a dance song Pam and Sookie loved and she pulled her out of the booth. "Dance with me Sookie." She laughed and looked at Eric, he nodded and they went to the little dance floor where a couple other creatures were dancing. Sookie and Pam found their groove quickly, their hands were all over each other, Pam danced behind her, her hands on her hips moving to the music. Sookie turned to see Eric and the males at the table were watching, both Stan and Eric's fangs were down. She glanced around and many of the vampires in the bar had their fangs down. She leaned into Pam giggling. "Behave Pam, your going to get me in trouble." That made Pam throw her head back and laugh. Pam's hand went to Sookie's breast and Sookie laughed so hard she almost fell backwards, Pam catching her and laughed with her. When the song ended Eric was up and standing in front of her, he looked like he wanted to either kill her or fuck her.

"Sookie." He moved to pull her up and kissed her hard. The room was a blur after that, he had her in his arm taking her to a secret room she didn't even know existed. It was beyond the torture chamber he kept, the door was almost not visible because it was so dark. He used a key and opened it up the door. Inside it was like nothing she had ever seen, it was dark, the bed was gigantic, above the bed were things she had no idea what they were, chains and straps, above the headboard was a shelf with oils of all different sizes and colors. He put her on her the edge of the bed and leaned into her.

"Eric, what is this?" She looked around and her eyes narrowed.

He ignored her, his lips were on her neck, his hands were all over her. He pushed her back and crawled up her, he began removing her clothes, he was pulling his shirt over his head. He was between her legs before she knew what was happening, his hard cock was pushed in with one thrust then he began pounding her so hard it almost hurt, his fangs were biting her skin making little gashes in her skin. His hands were all over her, squeezing every where they touched and it they were inflicting pain on her body. It took her a few minutes to acclimated to what was happening and he leaned down to kiss her, she turned her face away from his. She moved her hips up to meet his and her anger built, this wasn't going to be love, this was something she never felt with him. They grunted and growled at each other, Eric occasionally hissing at her. Her eyes never met his, she bit, scratched, gouged every place she could touch. Her hips met his every push into her and she met it with just as much force as he gave. She knew she was going to come so she leaned up to his neck and bit him so hard it had blood splattering at her, she licked and pulled on the wound, he growled angrily. Her body bucked as she climaxed, she screamed, not his name, just a moan of satisfaction of the act. His face moved down to bite her breast and he bit her hard, she cried out and he sucked and came at the same time. Eric fell on top of her spent. Her head was swimming, she loved his creature but what they just did was no where near love or claiming, it was something she had no name for and it made her confused. She looked into the room and realized this was Eric's sex room, this is where he took woman to fuck and discard. She laid perfectly still afraid to move because her mind was churning so fast.

Eric could feel her emotions were on overload. "Sookie, look at me." She wouldn't, she just turned her head. "Sookie."

She breathed deeply a few times. "Just give me a minute ok?" She was trying to compose herself, she knew that Eric wasn't a saint, he had sex with other woman, a lot of other women but in this room she could sense the woman and what this room was for. He waited patiently, he rolled over and pulled her to him. She didn't cuddle with him or return the petting, she was trying to work out what just happened in her mind. "Why did you never show me this room Eric?"

"I was unsure if you were ready to see it." She got up and started to put her clothes back on, she tossed his to him. He looked at her shocked. "Are you upset with me?"

"I just wish you would have told me about this." She was trying shoving the insecurities back down as hard as she could, the evil head of it was thrashing around her and she tried desperately to not sound like a spoiled child. Standing in the middle of the room she knew she wanted out of, she began to walk around it. She touched things, there were toys, whips, leather straps, cuffs, clothes on shelves on the wall. She walked to the bathroom, there were antiseptics, oils, condoms on the counter. Moving back into the room Eric was putting his clothes back on. Standing on her toes she pulled on the chains that hung from the ceiling, she unhooked the leather to examine it. It looked like it had been used many times. She wouldn't cry, she breathed deep not to cry. Here she was married to this vampire for almost three years and he had this room in the basement of his bar and he never told her.

He came to her putting his hands on her arms. "I should have told you. It just never came up."

Every ounce of her being wanted to yell at him and say things to hurt him but she didn't. "Don't worry about it Eric. I am fine with it. I know its here now. Its done." She moved away from him and as she did she felt something. Something was wrong. "Eric?" He looked at her and as soon as he did the entire building shook, the sounds of what Sookie thought was a bomb. There was a boom like she had never heard, her hands went over her ears, the sound was deafening. The ceiling began to crumble and fall on top of them, small pieces at first then it came in large chunks down on them like rain, dust was everywhere.

"Sookie!" Eric was over her body in seconds as the ceiling began to collapsed on top of them completely.
