Chapter 44
Eric watched as his wife began to pass out, he hissed and dived to catch her. He had her in his arms and carrying her to the bed. "Nigel, call the doctor." Nigel did so as Eric rushed Sookie to the bedroom the two of them shared.
"She is on her way Eric, what can I do?" Nigel asked as Eric laid her on the bed gently.
He looked over his shoulder. "Tell Pam and Bill to stall the meeting. I will be there as soon as I can." Nigel bowed and was gone in a blur.
"Viking? What has happened?" Dr. Ludwig appeared.
He shook his head. "I do not know for sure, she had been acting strangely for a while tonight , shaking and telling me something was coming. She was vomiting just before she passed out."
"Move and let me take a look at her." Eric let go of her and let the doctor have access to her. The doctor held her hand over her belly. "This isn't the baby that caused this. Gunnar is fine, Sookie on the other hand is not. Something is trying to affect her nervous system." Dr. Ludwig closed her eyes and held her hand up in the air then opened them to examine Sookie again. "You need to call Niall, hurry!"
Eric got his phone out and dialed the Prince's number, he answered. "Northman?"
"Sookie needs you, hurry!" Eric hung the phone up and as he did their was a popping sound and two Fae stood in front of them.
Dr. Ludwig hissed at them. "Fairy, leave before you regret this."
The one laughed at her. "Do not get involved in what is not yours, Doctor."
Eric howled and was armed swinging his sword before the intruders knew what happened. "Touch my wife and I will kill you."
"Now, that is something I want to see Viking. Give Niall my regards." As he moved toward Sookie the sound of thunder erupted, Niall and his warriors appeared. The two turned to see him, snickered and moved toward Sookie. Eric was standing between them and the bed.
"Stop! She is a child of the sky, touch her and you will die!" Niall's warriors were slowly moving toward the two who knew they were incredibly outnumbered and they disappeared, Niall's warriors going after them. Niall, dresses in all white walked to Sookie. "I am sorry about this Eric. They will be taken care of now, they will not bother you anymore." He blinked and his face changed, he glanced at the doctor. "What is causing this?"
"I don't know yet, I didn't get a chance to find out what it was before I sensed those two killers coming. Do you have any idea what it is Niall?" Dr. Ludwig looked at the Prince.
"It is strong and evil, hum." He closed his eyes.
"You mean this isn't from the Fae?" Eric put his sword down and came to the side of the bed to hold Sookie's hand.
"No, something is effecting her mind and I am unfamiliar with it." Dr. Ludwig got out instruments and began to examine her again.
Eric looked shocked. "I thought it was from the baby, she was sick to her stomach. Can you wake her? Maybe she can tell us."
"I will try." Niall walked up to her and put his hands over her. Sookie's head shook back and forth, her eyes never opened. "Where is Little Eagle?"
Eric's head jerked up. "What?"
Niall looked at Eric. "Where is Little Eagle?"
"He did not travel with us." Eric knew of Eagles powers, he never was in the position to use them.
Niall pulled out his phone. "Claude, can you find Little Eagle and bring him to Sookie? Yes, I believe so. Thank you grandson, I will see you soon." He hung the phone up. "Claude will bring him to us."
Dr. Ludwig looked at her watch. "Eric, you have to deal with your Sheriff's, go take care of that. I will call you as soon as we know something."
"No, I will not leave her." He stood and began to pace.
Claude popped with Little Eagle. Niall stepped forward. "Thank you for coming Eagle." He nodded to the Prince. Claude hissed at Eric, Eric just gave him a look of death.
"Hello Eric." Eagle bowed to Eric and Eric nodded to him.
Dr. Ludwig got off the bed and walked to Eric. "It is almost eleven. Go take care of your business. You are King, you have responsibilities Eric. Sookie would be upset if you left those creatures in there like that." He looked at her like he wanted to kill her, his fangs were down.
"Eric, I will not let anything happen to her. I promise." Eagle spoke gently to him. Eric nodded and reluctantly walked to the door. He watched for a moment as Eagle went to the bed and put his hands up and closed his eyes. He trusted the doctor and Eagle, the Fairies not so much but she was right, Sookie would give him hell for not taking care of what he needed to. He headed to the ballroom to quickly get the meeting done.
Little Eagle looked at the Prince. "How long as she been like this?"
"Eric said she started sensing something a couple hours ago and finally just blacked out." Dr. Ludwig nodded to Eagle.
"Alright, you all will need to step out. I need the energy in here to be free of any thoughts or energies if I am to help her. Doctor, I will call you when she comes back if she needs you. I may need your word to convince the Viking she is well." Eagle smiled at the little doctor.
"Remember, she is very stubborn but she is strong. If you need me call." She smiled at the gorgeous Native and left.
"We will be leaving then if you do not need us. Please know I will be the one offering tribute to you Eagle, not Eric, I will take care of it as she is my blood." Niall nodded to him and he and Claude popped.
Pam knocked on the door. "Eagle?"
He turned and smiled. "Hey. I thought you were in a meeting?" He walked over to her and put his hands on her face and kissed her.
"Eric asked me to check on her. Can I help?" She looked at Sookie who was out like a light.
"Well, I suppose if you just want to hold her hand that will be fine. Do not let Eric in until I tell you alright? His emotions are too strong where she is concerned. Keep your mind clear for me ok?" He smiled at her.
Pam nodded and Eagle went to the bed and stood over her. He closed his eyes and stood over her silently for a moment. He began to chant, softly. Pam looked up at him, his beautiful face was emotionless, his native language he spoke quickly. Pam could feel the energy that came from the both, it was swirling around the room, she looked up to see the energy above them both. Pam lost track of time, she was mesmerized by what was happening in front of her. The energy that Eagle was generating was calming, peaceful almost loving. She had never felt anything like it in her life. This man was incredible, she had come to really care for him and smiled slightly thinking about him. Then she remembered what he told her, keep her mind clear, she did just that and went into her downtime.
Eagle was searching for her, his mind and energy were reaching out to her. "Sookie? Can you hear me?" He was talking to her through their minds.
Sookie even in this state was gracious. "Hello Eagle, how are you?"
His mind was reaching farther to hers. "Better now that I have reached you. You ready to come back?"
"I haven't gone anywhere." She said to him.
"Well, that remains to be seen, Eric is waiting." Eagle was assuring her.
"Their energy was really strong Eagle. I didn't know what else to do." Sookie told him almost in a whisper.
"Yes, you did all you could. You are alright now. You did just fine my Queen. Are you ready? I can help you."
"Ok, but is it gone?"
"I will need your help to take care of it. That is why I need you to come back. You and I will banish it.
"It is really evil Eagle. I don't know."
"Sookie, trust me. I can handle it alone but you can help me. Eric will be really proud of you."
She giggled. "Ok, I am ready."
"Follow my voice Sookie."
Pam's downtime was broken when she heard Eagle being to speak louder. How long had they been at this she wondered, it seemed like hours. "Follow my voice Sookie." Pam looked up him, he repeated it a few times and smiled. Sookie's eyes opened. "Welcome back Sookie!"
She smiled and sat up. "Eagle, I can still feel it."
"Yes, can you stand now?" Eagle held his hands out to her. She nodded and took them. "Good, hold onto my hands." She did. He began to chant again. The energy was even stronger now, it was swirling fast, it sounded almost like a wind storm in the room, Pam stood and began to back out of the room. She ran smack in to Eric who was standing in the doorway. The two of them watched as the magic and power Eagle and Sookie brought forth, it was white, it was pure and it was powerful. Eric stood watching and he heard what sounded like a wild, hurt animal howling. It caused goose bumps on the back of his neck. Sookie's light appeared around them, it was engulfing them standing in the middle of the room. Eagle's chants got louder, the howling continued then what sounded like a freight train whirled around the room.
Pam looked at Eric. "What the fuck is this?" Pam had never seen anything like it.
Eric shook his head. "I have no idea, I do not know if I want to know."
Sookie's eyes began to glow and then the room went dark. The light on the table came back on and Eagle smiled at Sookie and released her hands. "Nice job little one." He leaned over and kissed her on the cheek. "You feeling better?"
She giggled and nodded. "Yes, thank you Eagle."
"You are the power Sookie, next time do not run from what is around you. You have the ability to push it back, destroy it. It is very important that you never forget this lesson." He smiled at her.
She hugged him quickly and let him go. Sookie turned to see Eric and Pam standing in the room in awe. She turned back to Eagle. "Will you teach me Eagle? Stuff you know?"
He grinned. "Absolutely, it will be an honor to pass it on to you. But you have to remember I am obligated to keep some things to myself." He winked.
She giggled again and turned back to look at Eric. "Sweetie?" Eric was in front of her in a flash.
"My love, are you alright?" His arms went around her and pulled her close. Eagle walked to the doorway and took Pam's hand leaving Eric and Sookie alone.
"Yea, I am fine now. What time is it?" She was starving.
"It is almost three am." He looked down on her. "Come, lets get you something to eat and you can explain to me what happened." She giggled and took his hand as he lead her to the kitchen.
"Eric?" He looked at her as they walked. "Are the kids ok?" He knew she was asking if any of this touched her kids.
"Enar was fussy all night but I stopped at the nursery before coming to you. He was asleep." He smiled at her, she was relieved.
Eric sat her on a chair inside the kitchen at the table and went to the refrigerator and made her a sandwich, opened a yogurt and poured her a big glass of milk. She smiled as he set it in front of her. "Sorry I scared you Eric." He took out a True Blood for himself and warmed it.
He turned to sit next to her. "Yes, you did do that." He smiled at her then drank his blood.
"I felt something, it was really strong and I kept trying to keep it away, I could feel it trying to come at me and the kids. I fought it until I passed out." She took a bite of her yogurt.
"What was it?" He wanted to know.
"Some kind of energy, a dark, evil energy. I think it was trying to kill me but I passed out before it could. See, when Eagle was in my mind I could feel him, his power. He was pushing it back and the black energy was afraid of him. I could feel how to copy that. He really is powerful." Sookie drank some of her milk.
Eric grinned. "Yes, I have heard over the years of his power. He has walked this earth a long time, he is a shaman to his people."
"Yes and I really want him to teach me some stuff, his power is stronger than I have ever felt, even more than Claude's. I know that Johan isn't tapped into this side of me but Enar is and Gunnar will be. I want to learn everything I can. The more I do the better I can control this kind of stuff." She leaned and put her head on his shoulder.
"I think that you should let the doctor look at you." He pulled her close to him.
"Gunnar is fine. Here, put your hand here." She took his hand and put it to her belly.
Eric looked at her, his eyes welling up. "Sookie? Is that him?"
She grinned. "Yes, can you feel the energy? Its crazy isn't it? He is so small and he had that kind of power already."
The bond was open, the three of them could feel each other, Eric gently rubbed her belly. "Incredible. I sense he is fine, it is like he is telling me he is."
"Yeah! I think what Eagle and I opened in me tonight did that. Gunnar is tapped into that, I can feel him, really feel him." She put her hand over Eric's.
He leaned over and kisses her, his hand still on her belly. There was a surge of energy and the bond was full of love. Eric stopped kissing her and laughed. "Is that you or him?"
She laughed too. "Him. Your son likes that you are kissing me." Eric kissed her again just to test it. The bond filled with love and security. "See!"
"Eat, its getting late and I want you to get some rest." He shook his head. "You know my love, since the day you have come into my life, things are always fresh and exciting. We always have some miracle, our children, your powers, our children's powers. You have definitely kept me on my toes."
She giggled. "Well, I got to do something to keep my Viking entertained!" Her food was eaten, he picked her up and rushed her back to their room.
"This week we need to work on planning our son's birthday party." She nodded. "Lay down angel, get some sleep." Sookie yawned, Eric took off his clothes and got in the bed next to her. "I love you Sookie."
"I love you too Eric." Her eyes closed and she was asleep in minutes. He pulled her close and closed his eyes to sleep.
Eric woke to giggling, his eyes opened to find his children all in the bed with him and Sookie was sitting back against the headboard smiling. "Good morning my family."
Johan pounced on his father, Enar right behind him. His sons were jumping and rolling all over him. Eric's face burst into laughter. "Boys, let daddy wake up before you attack him!" Sookie was holding a squirming Erika who wanted in on the action.
"Mommy, it is time for daddy to wake up! He promised to take us to the zoo!" Johan was grinning.
"Eric! You promised the kids we would go to the zoo?" Sookie was shocked.
He pulled his sons to him and tickled them both, both were howling to the top of their lungs, Eric was in his glory. Eric put them back on the bed and looked at Sookie. "Only if you are up to it." Sookie smiled and nodded at him. 'Good, I do recall you mentioning us taking baby steps, it was your idea about taking them to the zoo." He winked at her.
"Ok, well you better get up and get ready then husband. I have never been to the Audubon, I heard they have a great aquarium!" Sookie took Erika and stood up. "Come on boys, lets get you ready while daddy takes a shower." Johan got down and she took Enar. "Do you want me to let Mark know?"
He shook his head. "No, he will be ready, I told him last night. Just tell him we will leave in about forty minutes." Eric pulled her into a big kiss before strolling into the bathroom.
Johan was bouncing all over when Lily headed their direction. "Lily, we are going to the zoo! Are you ready?"
She smiled and kneeled down. "Yes, my Prince, I am. Is your daddy going with us?"
"Yes, ma'am, he is getting in the shower now." Johan was smiling.
Lily stood up. "I can stay here if you want it to be a family outing."
Sookie shook her head. "Lily, you are family. Besides Mark is going, it will be nice for all of us." She winked at Lily who took Enar. "Come on lets get dressed!" Johan was squealing all the way down the hall to the nursery.
They were dressed and in the sitting room when Eric came in. "I take it everyone is ready?"
Mark stepped forward. "Yes, Eric, the security team is in place and the cars are out front ready to go. We are ready when you are."
Erika was crawling toward her father, Eric bent down and picked her up. "My Princess, you are beautiful today. Daddy is glad to see no bows in my daughters hair." Eric was playing with the diamond barrette in her hair Eric had bought her when she was born.
"Eric, where are my daughters bows?" Sookie's eyes narrowed at her husband.
"I have removed them from her wardrobe. My daughter does not wear those dreadful things, she is to only wear diamonds." He smiled and adjusted the barrette.
"Eric, she isn't wearing diamonds, she is too little for that." Sookie frowned at him.
He smirked at his wife. "This barrette is Harry Winston my love. It is about three carats of diamonds. It cost about what you made a year at that dreadful shifter bar."
"What! Eric that is not possible!" Sookie and Lily stood with their eyes wide open gawking.
"My plan is to go to the jewelry store you bought my bracelet and order a few pieces for her while we are here. Then we will make a trip to New York to the diamond district, I plan on buying you both many new pieces, Pamela too." He was gently kissing the side of Erika's blonde head.
"Eric, I swear, you are a pain in my…." She stopped when Johan cleared his throat. "Actually you both are." She stuck her tongue out at Eric and Johan laughed.
"May we go now mommy?" Johan was waiting patiently for his parents to finish their conversation.
"Yes baby, lets go." Sookie took his hand, Mark took Enar, Eric took Erika and they walked to the door to leave. They all piled into the cars and headed to the zoo. Johan was chatting the entire ride telling Eric the things he wanted to see when he got there. Sookie looked at Eric. "How does he know about the zoo?"
Eric grinned. "I believe we have Lily to thank. She has begun his lessons. I meant to speak to you about it but with everything that going on I have not had the opportunity." Eric filled her in on the thoughts of Lily and what she was going to be doing with their son.
"You think he can learn at that level? Really?" Eric nodded. "Wow, I mean, I know he has always been really smart but he isn't even two yet." Sookie looked down on her son and was shocked.
"Incredible is it not? I will be interested to see how he progresses." Eric had already noticed Johan's vocabulary was expanding, his speech was less baby like and he was using fuller sentences.
The ride was short and they were at the zoo pulling into the parking lot. When they were parked Mark and Tray helped them out of the car. There were in two cars today, the other car held Maggie, Stephen and two other guards, Gary and Ted. They were part of the New Orleans pack that were both former swat and served time in the military. Both were big and bulky making most people nervous to be around. Sookie found them nice. "Gary, Ted, have either of you been here?"
Gary spoke up. "No my Queen, I have never been. It will be nice to see." He said it with the most serious look on his face. Ted just shook his head no and remained quiet.
The four guards flanked them only Mark and Tray stayed very close to Sookie and the kids. The twins were in the stroller and Johan wanted to walk. Sookie had a firm grip on Johan's hand, Eric pushed the stroller with the twins. They stopped at every exhibit, looked at every animal, every fish, every tree. Johan was fascinated at everything he saw. Eric would bend down and talk to him in Swedish or English telling him things. Johan would stop, look at the animal. Eric would lean over the stroller and tell the twins things in Swedish making them squeal. One time Johan stopped and pulled Sookie's hand. She looked down on her son. "Mommy, that gorilla is forty years old." Sookie blinked looking at Eric for help.
Eric knelt down. "Son, how do you know this?" He looked at Sookie while he spoke to his son.
"He told me, he was born in South Africa and was once free." Sookie eyes brimmed with tears. Eric lifted his hand and squeezed it. Johan began to move to the next exhibit. Sookie and Eric stood looking at their son then slowly followed behind him.
The day went by quickly, they were laughing and having a great time. Eric started to notice two men that seemed to be going everywhere they were. Eric nodded at Mark who already noticed them. "Stay here please." Mark indicated for them to stop where they were. Mark and Tray walked in the direction of the men. Eric moved closer to Sookie, she let her shields down.
"Eric they are Fellowship." She looked at him concerned. He nodded and she reached out farther to see if there were any more, she felt two more that were a distance away. "There are two more, males." Eric turned to Maggie who nodded.
Mark approached the two men, Tray beside them. Eric was listening and watching carefully. The two men looked at Mark like they were innocent. One of them seemed to be a little sassy and Mark took a step forward and opened his coat. The man on the left put his hands up and the other backed up. Eric turned to Johan. "Son, I think we need to get our mommy and siblings home now."
Johan watched the exchange ahead of them, his face looked angry and something none of them knew would happen, Johan's fangs came down. Sookie's hand went over her mouth. "Eric!"
He turned to look at his wife who was staring down at Johan. He was in front of his son in a flash. "Son, open your mouth for daddy." He did and there were two little fangs. "Sookie, he….." He looked up at her, Eric grinned and looked at Johan. "Son, put your fangs away please." Johan did as his father told him.
She shook her head and just continued looking at her oldest son. "They are leaving daddy. Do no worry, they know they need to leave us alone." Just as Johan turned to look at his father the two men turned and went back out the way they came. Johan smiled at them and his fangs went back down. "See." He took his mother's hand and pulled her to the next exhibit. Eric just shook his head, looked at Johan who put his fangs up again.
Mark and Tray were on their way back. "They don't want any issues, they are leaving. I think they believed you were less armed." Mark emphasized armed and he grinned.
"Thanks Mark, Tray." Sookie said to them both who just nodded. She was really grateful they were with them today.
About another hour went by and Sookie was getting tired, Johan was slowing down and the twins were already asleep. Eric stopped the caravan and knelt down to his son. "Johan, everyone is getting tired son, it is time to go back to the palace."
"Yes, daddy, mommy is very tired." He looked up at his mother.
She shook her head no. "I am fine."
Eric growled. "Sookie Northman, I can sense you, please do not try to pull this on me."
She rolled her eyes. "Fine, ok. Lets head go back to the residence." She half grinned. Even though she and her family had a great time she was ready to go. Her stomach was doing flip flops the last few hours.
After getting loaded back into the car Eric pulled her to him. "Sookie, are you sick to your stomach?'
Looking up at him she nodded. "For the last couple hours."
"Lover, you should have said something." He told Mark to hurry to get back to the palace as quickly as possible.
"Eric, I am fine." She put her hand on her belly.
"No, you are not. I have known you do not feel well but you have endured it because you knew Johan and I were having a good time. I appreciate your doing that but now it is time to get you back to rest." He was giving her the look.
"Thanks sweetie." They were driving the entrance to the palace as she said it. "That was fast." He smiled at her.
Everyone was out of the car and Lily was taking the kids to get them fed and down for a nap. Trish met them at the door and assured Sookie she and Lily had it under control to go and lay down. She was tired so she let Eric carry her to the room, he gently laid her on the bed and began to take her clothes off, he started with her sneakers, lifted her up to take off her button up sweater, t-shirt and then started tugging on her jeans. She giggled the entire time. "What is so funny my bride?" When her jeans were gone he began to run his hands over her the front of her panties.
"That you have an entire Kingdom to rule, Kings and Queens coming from all corners of the country and you are knelt down on the bed taking my clothes off for me." Her eyes were looking at his handsome face.
"Well, I believe as your husband it is my job to also take care of my Queen. How about a quick massage then you rest, hum?" He leaned over to kiss her softly.
"Ok, I guess if you are going to twist my arm." She laughed and he growled.
Eric got off the bed and was gone in a blur. He returned with a couple little bottle in his hand. "Alright, roll over." She did and when she did he unbuttoned her bra. More giggling from Sookie, then she gasped when he pulled the side of her thong and they popped off her. "Now, close your eyes lover." She did and he began to rub the liquid in his palms then spread it on her back. The liquid smelled like fresh mango, it made Sookie's mouth water. His hands moved slowly and precisely on her body, her back, her sides, her behind, the backs of her thighs. The coolness of his hands made her like putty in his large hands. She moaned every now and again at the pain of her sore muscles and pleasure he was causing. With no idea of how long he was at it, her eyes were getting lazy. Just as she was at the cusp of sleep Eric opened her legs, the cool oil he began to spread on the insides of her thighs, his fingers kneading her muscles, slowly he moved her legs open further. His hands stopped, she heard a click of a cap opening and more cool oil trickled on her, this time on her crease of her backside. Her body instantly responded to him, her body wanted to move back, she wanted to put her behind in the air, she wanted him inside her rear entrance. His hand kept her still, she couldn't lift up like she wished to. The other hand began to pet her crotch, his fingers moved to her folds and found her clit, the oil made the feeling of his fingers on her almost unbearable with pleasure.
She was hard, her center was wet and ready. Sookie began to pant. Her eyes were becoming blurry, his talented fingers were slowly rubbing her nub, she could hear him behind her spurring her on, telling her to come for him but he was prolonging it, he was going to make her shatter into a million pieces if he didn't finish her, if his fingers did not move faster. He knew what he what he was doing, she knew he did, he was torturing her. Finally his finger began to move faster, her face went into the mattress, her cries muffled. She felt his hand that was holding her down leave her back and he slowly moved her up on her knees, his finger never leaving her clit, the pressure was building. The cool oil she felt on her rear again and in one thrust her husband's hard cock was inside her rear, she cried out and came in the same motion almost falling to the mattress, but Eric's arm went around her. "Lover." His voice purred to her as his hips continued moving his long shaft in her.
Sookie's arms went around his backside, she held on tight. "Oh Eric, please." She wanted to feel him, every bit of him inside her. "Harder, Eric." He grinned and his hips pushed harder, then harder, then harder even. Sookie screamed, her eyes began to roll in her head, she knew she was going to pass out.
"No, Sookie, breathe, deep breaths my love." He could feel her getting light headed and he wanted her to stay with him, he wanted her to finish as much as he needed to. He heard her trying to take deep breathes. "That's right my love, again, breathe." Her vision began to clear and her hips began to fall in rhythm with his again. He smiled and leaned down to kiss her shoulder. "There is my feisty wife." Sookie giggled. Eric was relentless, he pounded and pounded, Sookie took every bit of it, her cries were of desire and want. Eric was getting close, he pulled her body to his, she moved her head to move her hair and he went for the vein in her neck making her moan and come at the same time. She leaned against him, her body was like jelly.
She grabbed his arm, her teeth biting his arm as hard as she could, he began to howl, his head went back and his climax pushed him back on his ass taking Sookie with him. He used every ounce of strength he had, his body was shaking. He wrapped both hands around her when she fell on top of him, her back against his chest and her ass on his lap, she gasped as if she were about to fall. "I have you my love." His tongue went to the wound he had made on her neck, he licked to close it. "It seems I did a horrible job getting you to rest." He rubbed her stomach as he spoke.
"Yes, you did." She laughed. "Do you have work you need to do?" He nodded. "Ok, well, you better get to it. I will lay down for an hour before the Kings and Queens get here." Eric arranged for the vampires to stay at the Hotel Manuel to make the process less strenuous on the staff and Sookie. He didn't want her worrying about playing hostess day and night. The vampires who needed to see them would show up, speak to them and then be on their way. Quick and easy was the plan. The only vampire who would be here the entire time would be Stan Davis, Sookie's second favorite vampire she liked to joke with Eric. Eric got up to take a quick shower to get to his office to do some work before the vampires started showing up. He kissed Sookie on the lips and he stood watching her as she pulled the covers up and began to fall asleep. When her eyes were closed he went into the bathroom.
Eric was dressed impeccably in a dark suit and headed to the office. He checked messages, emails, texts, read reports, made phone calls all before Pam stepped into the office. "Master."
His head came up. "Pamela, how are you this evening?"
"Better now that I have Eagle here. He is quite divine if I do say so." She was licking her lips.
"Yes, I owe him for helping Sookie." He was typing an email.
"Actually no, Niall said he would take care of the tribute. I wouldn't worry about it." She sat down in the chair in front of his desk and he looked up at her. He would deal with Niall later.
"I have something of interest you may like to know. Your sibling popped his fangs today." Eric was grinning.
"What, who?" Pam was confused.
"Johan, we were at the zoo, we ran into some trouble and he identified it and his fangs came down." Eric sat back in his chair.
"Did we know he had the ability to do that?" Pam shook her head.
Eric looked up at the ceiling. "No, I could really care less. I am thrilled. My son looks like me, acts like me, thinks like me and now he has my fangs. I cannot wait to show this off to the world."
Pam stood up. "No, Eric, he looks like a human baby, people will think of him as such and think he is what those freaks call him, an abomination. You need to wait until he is older to reveal his fangs."
Eric waved his hand at her. "I will think about this, he is my son and I am thrilled he has another trait of mine, the flying and now fangs. We will stand together ruling the vampire world and I cannot wait."
"Well, rule, do whatever makes you happy but do not do this until he is older. Take my advice on this Eric." She sat back down.
Bill tapped on the door, Eric told him to come in. The three of them discussed business until it was time for the meeting to start. "I am going to get Sookie, I will meet you all in the ballroom. Pam, take care of our guests." She nodded and then left.
Eric rushed to the bedroom to get his wife, she was sitting on the edge of the bed rubbing her stomach. He came in and sat next to her. "I am fine, he is just making me queasy tonight."
Putting his hand on her belly he did what he had done with his other kids. "Son, mommy and daddy have meetings all night. Enough for now." It took a few minutes but he let up on her.
"Thank you." She kissed him and he took her hand and they walked together to the ballroom.
They walked in and all the vampires stood up. Everyone bowed and nodded to them as they past. Sookie stopped to speak to each, all were happy to see her, smiling and making some promise to call, text or get together. Eric was shocked, he knew she was popular with some of them but everyone of them spoke with her. Eric leaned over to her. "You have quite the cheering section my Queen." He smiled lovingly at her.
"Yes, well, they know that the way to the Kings heart is through me." She winked at him.
Stan was sitting at their table with Bill, Nigel and Pam standing behind him. "My Queen! I see you still have not left this fool. What is it I have to do? I will do anything you wish!"
Sookie giggled and bowed to Stan. "My King, I am sorry but it seems my bonded insists on keeping me knocked up. I have no time for anyone else in my life at the moment."
Stan looked at her belly and smiled. "Another miracle child Northman? I swear you take everything to the extreme. You cant just have one special child, you want to go for a football team!" Everyone laughed.
The meeting room was filled with vampires and the fountain of blood was in the corner with glasses and a server on the side pouring them. The flowers all over the room made it smell so good in the room. Sookie noticed the colors of the ballroom walls were a off white now instead of the pale green it was before, all the table clothes were red and the chairs had been reupholstered in a red, black and off white pattern, the colors of the Northman Kingdom. Sookie liked it. They vampires took care of their business, some minor and major issues were dealt with, then everyone broke up to mingle. Eric stayed close to her, he rarely took his hand off of hers. Every vampire approached at some point in the evening. King Thomas of Washington came up to them. "My Queen, thank you for your help on that issue I was having with my Sheriff, if it was up to me I would have just left them to meet their final death!"
He laughed and Sookie did too. "Thomas, I told you I am here to help. Did you solve that issue with the building inspector?"
Thomas looked at her. "Yes but I believe it was because he got a phone call from someone. I wont name any names." He smirked at Sookie who just played innocent. They said their goodbyes and Eric stood staring at her.
King of California and Utah had similar conversations with his wife, they were chit chatting about something Sookie had helped them with or advice they needed from her. They talked about sending emails or texts and they wished they had more time to see her. Eric got a bit jealous after a while. Sookie could feel it in the bond. "Eric, what is the matter?" He was pouting.
"Nothing." Yes, he was definitely pouting.
"Your mad because I have tried to take an active roll with our Kings and Queens." She tried not to laugh at him.
"They are thrilled to see you, talk to you. You are mine." Still pouting.
"Sweetie, I am digging my heels in. These creatures need to know we are here for them, you are the leader, the muscle. I am the helpful one, I want them to know we are here for them even for simple things. We have a long time to deal with them and I want the to feel like we care." She was holding his hand now.
"Still, you are mine. I do not know if I like the fact that all these vampires are consulting with you about petty things." His face was grim.
"Then maybe you should get another bimbo and divorce me." She smiled up at him and went to talk to another Kingdom.
Eric watched her walk away from him for the first time of the night and he was not happy about it. Stan walked up to him in her place. "She has really grown into her role Eric, each day she changes for the better. You have had a long time to get ready for it, she has had only these few years. All the while she has loved you, given you children and kept her head down from some supe group that wanted her alive or dead. Instead of standing there looking at her like that you should be kneeling at her feet thanking her."
Eric turned to his long time friend and growled softly. "Davis, you spend much time telling me what I should do where my wife is concerned."
"That pretty blonde is part of each of us Eric, you have brought her into each of our lives. Not one of us will ever have what you have, not if we live to be five thousand years old individually. You will be the only one to experience it. We may be envious of you but every vampire who has gotten to know her has come to care for her." Stan looked at Eric seriously.
Eric's eyes went back to his wife who was talking to the Queen of Oklahoma. "That is supposed to be comforting Stan? That these vampires have feelings for her."
Stan shook his head. "Not those kind of feelings Eric, friendship, or something that we as vampires can equate to friendship. You should be proud of her."
Eric closed his eyes, he was but he wanted her all for himself. "I am proud of her. She is the most amazing woman I have ever met. She has enriched my life in ways I will never be able to repay her for."
"She doesn't want that Eric and you know it. She just wants you, flaws and all. That girl never wanted anything but you. You could have held any menial position in our world and she would not have cared but you were meant to give her more, help make her become more that just a girl from a little town. Embrace that." Stan nodded and walked away from his friend.
As Eric stood watching his wife laugh and enjoy those he had spent years knowing, he smiled now. Stan was right, he was a fool. He walked up behind her and looked at the Queen of Oklahoma. "Excuse us just a moment please." He was nodded at by those who stood around them and he took Sookie's hand. "My Queen, may I speak with you privately for a moment?" Sookie smiled and thanked those in front of her.
Eric led her away taking her out of the room, the guards closed the door behind them. There was two guards on each side of the door. Eric looked at them and they went opened the door to stand on the other side. "Eric, what did you need?" She was looking up at him curiously.
"I am sorry I behaved the way I did. I wanted you to know how proud of you I am. You have done in a short time what another may never have accomplished. That I believe is what the AP and the council meant when they put us in this position. I hope you will forgive me." He took her chin in his hand and leaned down to kiss her softly.
"Forgiven. Thank you." She returned the kiss, this one she put a bit of heat into it.
He moaned. "Easy my love, do not begin something I cannot finish at the moment."
She looked at him defiant. Her hand grabbed the front of his dress pants taking him in her hands squeezing. "Is that what you mean?" She smirked.
His fangs came down, he pulled her up to him. Her high heeled legs went around him, her knee length dress went around her waist, she was like a mad woman, pulling zippers, button and searching for him. He was instantly hard, rock hard. They continued kissing, panting and moaning into each other's mouths kissing, nipping, biting. When she had him free of his zipper she lifted up and put herself on his hard cock. Sookie moved her thong out of the way. "Hurry Eric, fuck me." Her head went back as his face contorted while he put himself inside her hard and fast. She tried to be quiet while his hips thrust into her, her head went to his shoulder to gather herself while she moved with him. Her lips went back to his, her eyes locked on his as he fucked her fast. Her hands went to the wall behind him for support. "Faster sweetie, hurry!" She whispered to him in his mouth. He hissed, his body responded to her, his hips moving fast and hard. She wanted him so bad, she was so ready to come, her eyes holding the gauze on him. "I am ready Eric, oh God, yes!" She whispered to him and he watched her climax he couldn't control it, his body jerked, he leaned further back and came hard as she was coming down from hers. He held her, she was panting, he needed a minute to get his bearings.
Pam walked out of the ballroom, her hands on her hips. "You know we can hear the two of you fucking out here, Master." Her fangs down, her face smirking at them.
"Pamela." Eric's voice was shaking.
"Do not Pamela me, Eric Northman. You have a room full of vampires in there! Everyone of them now have their fangs down waiting to be dismissed so they can find something to fuck after listening to Sookie telling you to fuck her!"
Eric laughed. "Yes, she did do that did she not?" Sookie laughed and pulled herself up to help Eric fix himself before she got down, she used her skirt to give them some privacy.
"Now you too want to be modest. Why not just take her on a table in there and give us all the chance of seeing it instead of having to just listen to it!" She shook her head and went back into the ballroom.
"Oops. Sorry sweetie." Sookie giggled.
"We have a couple more nights, we will have a repeat performance for every group that way every vampire in our Kingdom will have experienced it." He laughed and wiggled his eyes are her.
"Funny, you are really funny husband." She kissed him quickly and put her heels back on the floor. "I love you Eric, I don't care who heard us. I am not ashamed of what we did. I guess this gives them one more reason to know how lucky I am."
Eric sent her love and pride though their bond. He couldn't have loved her more in that moment. Here his sweet southern belle let him fuck her while a room full of vampires listened. It was a great day! He took her hand and looked at her. "Lets make our excuses so they may be as lucky as I am." They smiled at each other and went back into the ballroom.
Sookie looked around the moment they entered. Yep, every vampire in the room had their fangs down. She smiled when they came in. "Sorry for the delay. Please, Eric and I would like you to all enjoy the rest of your evening. Thank you for all coming. We will see you soon." Eric looked down at his wife grinning, he turned and nodded to his vampires signaling that they may leave. The vampires bowed and Eric picked her up and took her out of the room and headed them toward their bedroom. Sookie laid her head on his shoulder and enjoyed the closeness, his big hands holding her tight.
Eric opened the door to their room, taking her inside. He set her on her feet, lifted her dress over her head, she kicked off her high heels, he reached behind her and undid her bra strap then destroyed another thong. She leaned forward undoing the buttons of his dress shirt while he took off his jacket. He moved to undo his pants, she moved his hands out of the way. She shook her head and did it herself. Eric toed off his shoes and socks. Their clothes lay in a heap on the floor. Eric pulled her to him, her warm body against his cool flesh. They stood there just holding each other for a long while until she took his hand to lead him to the bed. She sat on his side of the bed holding his hand, he looked down on her with all the love his soul had for her, the bond was open, swirling so fast and strong around them. She laid back, Eric put his knees on each side of her, she pulled him to kiss her, his taste, his lips were the only thing that kept her from combusting. He pulled back to look at her, his hand caressed her face. "My life, my love." His eyes filled with blood tears. Her eyes blinked, her fingers went to his face to catch the tears, her fingers went to her lips as she licked the tears like he had done to her over the years. He moved his face closer to hers, her tongue licked as he wept, the love he felt for her in each tear. "I give you my life, my soul. For eternity." His perfect face went up to look her in the eyes. He saw her love for him in her beautiful eyes. His lips went back to hers, slowly he kissed her, the kiss was soul wrenching, Sookie was breathless when they finally separated. This time her eyes were full of tears. He closed his eyes and instinct directed him to each tear, her fairy tears. She watched his face as he slowly and gently gathered her tears. Sookie wrapped her arms around him pulling him close, he too wanted to hold her, he rolled slightly taking her with him, her body was half on his, he moved them quickly so they could lay stretched out. His strong arms held her tight. Her grip on him tightened, she sighed with contentment and they sent love back and forth to each other while their bond embraced them. Eric's lips sought hers again, softly they kissed until they were exhausted, each of their eyes heavy and ready for sleep. Both fell asleep in each others arms, their arms full of love.
