Chapter 54
"Eric." He heard her calling to him. His eyes opened, she wasn't in the bed. She was in the bathroom. Rushing he went to the bathroom to find her on the floor, Sookie was holding her stomach, her baby bump looked like it had gotten much bigger over night.
"Sookie? What is it?" Eric knelt down to pick her up, she winced, pushed away from him and shook her head no.
"No, no. It hurts Eric, really bad." She had been crying and began again.
He looked at her face, she was so pale. "I will call the doctor, hold on my love." Eric rushed out of the bathroom and got his phone to call the doctor. When Dr. Ludwig promised to be there in five minutes he rushed back to his wife. "She is coming Sookie, can you stand it long enough to get you off the floor?"
"I don't know. It hurts Eric. Oh, no, I cant lose another baby Eric. I just cant." She began to sob.
He pulled her face to look at him. "You are not losing our son Sookie. Do not upset yourself now. Put your arm around my shoulder, lets get you off the floor." He put his arm around her and lifted her up, she cried out as he did. "I am sorry angel, I am so sorry." Eric carried her to the bed and the doctor appeared.
Dr. Ludwig came to the side of the bed to Sookie. "Little one, what is going on? You are ill?"
Sookie shook her head. "I was having morning sickness then the pain started. Now it just hurts, bad."
"Eric, get her some ice and a glass of ginger ale alright?" He looked at the doctor then rushed out. "Let me see what is going on." She climbed up on the chair then put her arms over Sookie's belly. "Have you been having a lot of pain recently?"
"No, not for about a week I think. I had some growing pains." She winced, the pain was coming again.
"I need to check you, alright?" Sookie knew the drill, her legs went up and Eric was back with her ice chips and her drink. "Eric, give her some ice." He nodded and went next to her to sit. Sitting her up a bit he put some in her mouth, her eyes shut tightly, she was so uncomfortable. The doctor was prodding and finally the sound of the gloves being removed made Sookie gasp.
"What is it doctor?" Eric was so anxious.
"She is having severe growing pains. The baby is beginning to grow rapidly." She looked at Sookie's belly.
"But I don't understand, I didn't have this kind of pain with the other kids." She winced and moved grabbing her stomach. "Ow, ow, ow!" Eric took her hand to support her.
"Yes, all of your kids are different. The baby has changed and he is growing fast now. I wish I could give you an idea on what do to stop the pain from happening but your body isn't designed for these kinds of babies but it carries them anyway. You may be magical but you still have a human form." She looked deflated.
"What do you mean he has changed?" Eric asked.
"His powers are really strong now. I would be surprised if he doesn't begin to grow faster and faster as time passes. But it could be just a coincidence, he may be having a growth spurt and make it to nine months. We have no way of telling." Dr. Ludwig pulled out a bottle of cream. "Put this on your belly once a day, it will help with some of the pain. Lets check you more frequently for awhile." The doctor vanished.
Sookie cried out again rolling to her side then again to her back. "Eric, maybe if you talk to him. Please, he is killing my insides."
Eric got in the bed laying next to her, he put both his hands on her belly and got right next to her stomach. "Gunnar, you are hurting mommy. You are making her cry with what you are doing to her. Please stop now." Sookie closed her eyes and prayed it worked. There was a small spasm that made her rock to the side again then it was gone.
Sookie waited a few minutes and when nothing happened she squealed. "Oh, sweetie! Thank you!" She sat up and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"You do not need to thank me Sookie, I am your husband. I can not stand to see you in pain." His eyes met hers. She knew how upset he was by her pain, she moved closer to him and put her arms around him.
"Can you just hold me for little bit?" She looked up with him with her pretty eyes.
He nodded. "Only if you hold on tight." He smiled at her, his eyes full of love. They lay on the bed just holding each other.
Sookie pulled back and looked at him. "Do you want to take a shower with me?"
His fangs came down. "Sookie." Eric knew his control where she was concerned was being tested and it was flying out the window, she giggled at him.
"Come on sweetie." She rolled off the bed, put her feet on the floor then took off her clothes, he watched her every second. When she was naked he looked at her amazing body up and down. Her hand went out to him to take and he did. She helped him out of his pajama bottoms and lead them to the shower. Sookie started the water and stepped in, she held the door open for him to step in, he did and got in behind her.
Eric leaned down, wrapped his arm around her. "Sookie, your belly has gotten bigger, has it not? Considerably bigger."
Her hands went over his. "I know, I thought I was crazy when I woke up this morning. I mean sometimes that happens, one day no baby bump the next day you have one, but he really is getting bigger. I guess if I hadn't been so freaked out about the pain I would have figured it out myself. I just panicked and thought something was wrong."
He kissed her shoulder. "You should have called me sooner instead of stressing yourself out like that. I do not like to see you in pain my love."
She giggled. "Trust me, next time I will. That was worse than child birth. I have never felt anything like that. Ugh." Her husbands hand was gently massaging her belly.
Things progressed quickly, Eric had her against the wall, her legs wrapped around his waist and they quickly but gently made love. He needed her desperately and the mating seemed to help her. When they were done exchanging blood Eric washed them both and got them out of the shower. She grabbed a towel and dried him off, her hand gently touching everywhere the towel did. His lips touched her body every where as she did. "Sookie, why don't you put on a bikini and go downstairs to lay out in the yard."
She shook her head. "No way, there are guards and workers everywhere. They are installing the pool today, there are even more men all over then usual."
Eric's fangs popped. "Yes, give them something to look at. You are my beautiful bonded, you are carrying my child. They may sneak a look but all know you belong to me." He walked to her closet and pulled out yellow bikini top with a yellow and white stripped bottom that was a bit fuller for her now that she was progressing in the pregnancy. "Put this on." He loved the smell of sun on her body, it was almost as good as her fairy scent.
She looked at him like he was crazy. "Eric, there must be fifty guys out there."
"I am taking my children out there to play, you will lay in the chair and sun bathe. I will enjoy watching the workers drool over my beautiful bride." He grinned.
Sookie shook her head. "I don't think drooling will happen, I think they will be grossed out to see a overly pregnant woman in a bikini." She put the suit on then went to the vanity to comb her hair up into a pony tail. Eric didn't comment on her ridiculousness, he knew she would see her effect on the workers. He smiled thinking about it.
"I am going to gather up the children to put sun screen on them and we will meet you downstairs." He was gone. She shook her head and grabbed a pair of flip flops, her sun glasses and a wrap then she headed down the stairs.
Mark was standing talking to Gary in the foyer when she came down the stairs. "Sookie, please tell me you are not going outside like that." Mark looked pissed.
"I know, I am as big as a house. This was Eric's doing, not mine." She shook her head.
Mark shook his head. "I am sorry, what? Eric wanted you to go out like that?" He pointed to the tiny yellow bikini top she was wearing that barely contained her ever growing breasts. Gary looked like he was going to combust. Sookie looked at he two men shocked.
"Yes, he wants to take the kids outside to play. I am to rest." She frowned.
"Put the wrap on at least Sookie. I will have men shooting each other if you don't." He stomped away. Gary shook his head then followed his boss.
"Huh." Sookie looked at the two of them. Eric appeared with all three kids.
"My love, are you ready?" He had the biggest smile on his face.
"Yes, Evil." She knew he was being wicked and she let him have his fun. The kids ran to the back door, Eric took Sookie's hand and lead her to the backyard. There were men working out on the property, guards, workers all over. Sookie's guess of about fifty men was pretty close. When the door opened and they stepped out all eyes looked at them, some men stopped what they were doing and continued looking as Eric undid her wrap, held her hand as he helped her sit down on the lounge chair. "I told you they would stare at me. I look like the side of a barn." Eric laughed and went to the twins.
Johan walked to him mother and put his hand on hers. "Mommy, you are pretty." He leaned down and kissed the top of her hand then went to join the rest of the group. Sookie's eyes filled with tears.
Eric turned to look at her. He heard what his son said and he was proud of him. He knelt down to Johan. "That was very kind of you to say that to you mommy Johan. Always tell a pretty girl how nice she looks when she takes the time to do so for your benefit. Woman are like the finest gems, they need to be out in the open for all to enjoy." Eric winked at his son and Johan smiled at his father. Eric stood, he watched out the corner of his eye between his wife and the workers. He knew Sookie was feeling down about the way she thought she looked, there was no doubt by the time she went back into the house later she question her beauty by the time they were done here.
Sookie heard the thoughts, she didn't have to look at the faces. Men all over the yard were thinking how good she looked, how much they wished she was theirs, how lucky Eric was. Some thought they had never seen a sexier woman even pregnant. One imagined himself touching her breasts. She giggled, she knew now why Eric had done it. She was always saying how terrible she looked and he knew better, this was her lesson. Eric wanted to show her off, she would give them a show. She spent a considerable amount of time adjusting her bikini top, even Eric's fangs ran down, she would move the fabric almost to the edge of the nipple then move it back like she just couldn't find the right spot. She stood up, bent over to adjust the cushion on the chair, taking her time for her behind to be in the air. When she turned around every adult male was gawking. She laughed to herself and sat back down. Mission accomplished, she closed her eyes and let the sun do its job.
Erika was tapping Eric on the leg, he had stopped playing, he was just staring at his wife. Her hands on her breasts were driving him mad. "Daddy! Help me." She had a shovel in her tiny hand and they were supposed to be playing in the sand but Eric had stopped.
Eric shook his head to clear his thoughts then looked at his daughter. "I am sorry Princess, here, give daddy the shovel." She handed it to him and leaned over to get another toy. He helped her move the sand around to where she wanted it. Johan and Enar were chasing each other around the yard with a ball. Eric watched his children carefully, his eyes would move to check on his wife who he could tell was comfortable and falling asleep. Just as he looked up at the boys, Enar disappeared. Eric called to Sookie. "My love?" She looked up. "Watch Johan and Erika a moment." She nodded and he closed his eyes to feel his middle son and rushed to him. He was in the play room downstairs.
Enar giggled when he saw his father. Eric was not pleased. "Hi daddy."
Eric went to Enar and knelt down to him. "Son, daddy does not want you to pop like that. You were in the backyard playing and if daddy didn't know where you were he would have been worried. Mommy too. If you want to pop somewhere you need to tell mommy or daddy first. Do you understand?"
Enar looked chastised. "Yes, daddy."
Eric pulled his little chin up gently to look at him. "Daddy is not mad at you, daddy doesn't want something to happen to you. You can get hurt and mommy would be heartbroken if you did son. Mommy and daddy love you very much. Promise daddy you will not pop unless you tell us, alright."
He looked into his fathers eyes. "Yes, daddy, I promise."
Eric held his arms out to hug him. Enar laughed at his father and went into his fathers embrace. "Now, lets go back out to play in the sun."
Sookie had stood up and did it again, bent to adjust the cushions on the chair, Eric could have sworn he heard a couple of the men moan when she did. Sookie had turned her head to look back at Eric and grin. She was wise to what he had done, that was alright he thought, her self esteem would be soaring and he hoped he would benefit from it. Erika began to yawn, her little hands were rubbing her eyes. Enar said something to her and she snapped at him. "No!"
Eric looked at his precious daughter shocked. "Erika, I know you are getting sleepy but do not be mean to your brother. Please apologize." He looked at her seriously and her little lip began to tremble. Eric thought he would break into tiny pieces but he knew she needed to know what she did was wrong.
Her sleepy eyes went to Enar who just looked at her waiting. "Enar, sorry." She leaned over and kissed him on the cheek and his little arms went around her neck to hug her. Eric's eyes welled up, there was nothing more precious to him then these children.
He quickly stood and reached down for her. "There is my Princess. See, your brother loves you, we all love you. Family is everything sweetheart, do not forget that." Eric kissed her over and over on the cheeks until she was squealing and pushing him away.
Lily had come out and was standing behind him. "Here, I will take them up for their nap now. They both are tired." Eric reluctantly handed his daughter to her, he was having fun playing with them. He picked Enar up and handed him to her, she smiled and she called Johan. "Come on Prince, lets get you in the bed too." She smiled at Johan who put his toys back and came to his father.
"Thank you daddy!" Johan smiled up at his father.
Eric bent down to pick him up. "Johan, I love you. Now, go and nap. I will see you later my son." He kissed his neck and put him on the ground to follow Lily. His eyes went to his wife who was laying on the chair sleeping. He walked over to her, picked her up in one swift motion, her eyes opened wide and she gasped. "Wife, you have teased me long enough."
Sookie held on while Eric whisked her in the house, up the stairs and into their bedroom. "Hey! What did I do?" He threw he on the bed and she bounced a few times and she gasped.
"You do not think I believe that your little show out there was an accident do you?" His fangs were down.
She smirked at him. "I don't know what you are talking about."
His head went back, his laugh was wicked. "You stood up, bent your ass over for every male in that yard to look at, then you played with those beautiful breasts just to get me hard. I watched you Sookie, you were very careful but I believe you were trying to pay me back for insisting you wear that bikini outside." Eric went to the window, threw the curtains to the side and opened the window. He wanted everyone to know what he was about to do to his wife, his woman. He would claim her, show those men who had spent the last couple hours gawking at her that she belonged to him and she would scream his name only.
Sookie saw the look in his eye, he was blood lusting, his fangs were down, she giggled. Maybe her little show did more to him than she thought. She was going to play this for all it was worth. "I only went out there like this because you insisted." Purposely she brought her legs up, her bikini clad crotch he couldn't stop looking at, it was wet and she knew he could smell her.
He began to remove his clothes, when he was nude he stood tall and proud. Gracious plenty was rock hard, Sookie licked her lips at the sight of him. Her eyes closed and he growled. "Do you want me Sookie?" His voice was low and sexy.
Her eyes opened. "Oh, Eric, I want you so bad, how do you do this to me?" Her entire body was on fire, her center was throbbing. "Please Eric, I need you so badly." She put her arm in the air to reach for him.
Slowly he began to rub his cock. Sookie moaned, she wanted to touch him and he wouldn't move. "What shall I do to you lover?" His eyes honed in on hers.
Giggling she looked him up and down. "How about you bring your sexy ass over here and fuck me."
Eric moved at vampire speed, his body was hovering over hers. Not one part of him touched her yet. "Just fuck you?"
She shook her head. "No, fuck me, touch me, kiss me, bite me." If she had fangs they would have been down too she was so excited.
Before she knew it his fangs went into the exposed skin near her bikini top, her body bucked under him, she screamed out and grabbed the fabric under her. Her body responded, her orgasm was quick and left her wanting much more. "I do not hear you lover, if you want it you need to tell me."
"Put your cock inside me Eric, hurry!" Her eyes were full of desire, her body felt like it was in flames and he was the only one that could help her. She was gyrating under him, she wanted the clothes she had off, she went to take them off but he stopped her and she moaned.
His hand took her arms and held them over her head. "Tell me who you belong too." His teeth went to the edge of the material and darted slightly underneath it, she gasped. He pulled up to look at her, her face full of want. "Tell me Sookie."
"Oh, Eric, I am yours! Yours! Only yours Eric, forever!" He smiled against her breast, his teeth took the material and moved it out of his way, his teeth found her nipple and gently bit making her cry out, he wasn't hurting her, he was torturing her. His tongue began to play with the hard point, She was straining against the hold he had on her but he wanted her to submit to him, he wanted to be in control.
His tongue began to lick her entire breast, he took long licks, his nose against her skin. "My little fairy, you smell so wonderful." He moved to the other breast, this one he was rougher on, he nibbled hard on the skin around her nipple, his fangs were causing little nicks. He licked the blood quickly as he opened the wounds causing them to close just as quickly. When he was done teasing her bit down hard again, the blood from this breast made him groan against her, he sucked hard taking every drop he could. When he composed himself he let her breast go, closed the wound and looked up at her. Her lips were slightly apart, her eyes were glassy and her skin was pink. "Beautiful." He moved up to kiss her, his exquisite lips took hers, he kissed her gently at first, his tongue darting in and out as his lips began to get rougher, his fangs she could feel against her skin.
His tongue licked the side of her face, he closed his eyes as she began to moan louder, she wanted him inside her and he wanted it too, he moved kneel between her legs and she began to move her head back and forth. "Please Eric, let me fuck you." He smiled at his wife, he rolled over, taking her with him. Her arms went behind her neck, the fabric fell away from her breasts to release them, his hands took them both. They were so full and firm. "Yes, Eric, touch my breasts." She moaned and her head went back as he gently squeezed them. She stood up on her knees, pulled the material of her bikini bottoms down then thrust on him hard, he cried out. "Oh, yeah, feel how wet I am husband? You do that to me!" Slowly she moved against her husbands extremely big, hard shaft, she wanted him so bad but she wanted it slow, really slow. Sookie found her pace, Eric grunted as he met her hips against him, his hand went to her belly, he looked up as he watched his pregnant wife fuck him, she was so beautiful, her long hair flowing down her back, her eyes on his.
"You are so sexy Sookie, incredibly beautiful." He grinned up at her and she giggled. Her pace never wavered, Eric was so ready, she had him at the tip of cliff quickly and he closed his eyes to stop it, he wanted it to last forever. He bit the inside of his palm and lifted it to her mouth, she took his blood, her lips sucked so hard it every ounce of control he had not to come inside her, he wanted to go over with her when she was ready. As soon as she was done licking his palm she took his hands in hers, their fingers entwined together, Sookie leaned down to his chest and continued pumping against his shaft. She tried to keep her focus, she shook her head to clear it, when she looked up into his eyes she began to let the sensations flood her. Eric could feel her, her insides began to contract and he moaned slightly then began to cry out. "Yes, Sookie!" Sookie began to moan and chanted his name over and over as their orgasm enveloped them both. Gently she laid down on his chest not to put too much pressure on the baby. He rolled them over so she would be more comfortable, he turned so they would be face to face.
Her breathe was still rough, he rubbed her back to help calm her. "I love you Eric."
He smiled at her. "I love you too lover." Moving his lips to her shoulder he kissed her.
"You make me wanna do bad, bad, things." She smirked at him.
He looked at her like he had no idea what she was talking about. "What did I do?"
She turned to look at the window. "Eric, those men heard every bit of that. Mark is going to be pissed."
"Fuck him." Sookie gasped then giggled and Eric laughed. "He will get over it. Besides, you gave them a show today, this was just my way of telling them they can look, to a point. You are mine Sookie, every part of you is mine."
She shook her head. "Yes, Eric, I know that, the whole supe world knows it and now half of Shreveport does too."
Eric laughed. "I did not hear you trying to be quiet."
"When gracious plenty is involved I cant be quiet. You really should put a warning label on that thing." She giggled and Eric smacked her lightly on her naked ass. "Ow!"
He chuckled at her attempt to protest then he looked at her seriously. "How are you feeling? Any more pain?"
"No, I feel good, a little tired now but I think the sex helps." He laughed. "I am serious Eric, I think it helps. I cant explain it but I feel better after"
"After what?" He was teasing her.
"Eric!" She giggled and kissed him. "After you make love to me." He kissed her back.
"Well, my wife is tired, she needs a nap." He moved to get off the bed.
"Where are you going?" She looked up at him.
He smiled. "I am going to let you take a nap."
"Oh, no you don't. Get your ass back here. I want you in this bed next to me." She giggled.
"Sookie, I have work to do. Also, I need to go to Fangtasia tonight to put in an appearance. Are you up to going with me?" He moved back to the bed and pulled her close.
"Only if you hold me until I fall asleep. Gunnar, tell daddy we want him to lay next to us for a bit." Their sons legs kicked her. "Ow! Ok, tell daddy, not me!" They laughed.
Eric leaned over to her belly. "Thank you my son. Daddy will lay with you until you both fall asleep then. Remember what daddy said, go easy on mommy. You hurt her earlier and we want mommy happy, not hurt." He kissed her baby bump and Sookie's eyes welled. He leaned to look at her face. "Why the tears my love?"
She sniffled. "You are so sweet. I am so lucky to have you."
He knew her emotions were flowing, she was getting overwhelmed with love. "No, I am the lucky one Sookie. I have told you that a thousand times. My life would be incomplete without you."
She closed her eyes as the tears flowed. "Thank you sweetie." Her hand went to her belly on top of his and she sighed. Her breath began to even out, he knew she would be asleep in minutes, she was tired, a little over tired. When he was sure she was asleep he got out of the bed, covered her up and redressed. He went to the office to get some work done. He was only at his desk a few minutes before Mark tapped on the door madder than Eric had ever seen him.
"Northman."
Eric grinned not looking at him yet. "Yes Mark."
"What the hell was that?" He stomped to stand in front of Eric's desk.
Eric looked up at slowly. "Could you be more specific?" Eric was loving this.
Mark leaned on Eric's desk and hissed through his teeth. "I am not a fucking vampire or Were but I know heard every thing that you two were doing loud and clear. Every one of the guards is restless, it throws them off their game."
Laughing Eric put his arms on the desk and leaned in to cross them. "She is mine Mark. If I want to make love to my wife on the lawn in the middle of the day I will do so."
"She is not a whore Eric!" Mark's voice was getting louder.
"Lower your voice in my home." He stood up and went to stand in front of Mark. "I have seen the way those men have been looking at her, it is my job to remind them who she belongs to. You are human Mark, you do not understand the need to mark your territory as I have today."
Mark had purposely left his gun locked in his box for this exact reason and he knew it. He wanted to kill Eric where he stood. "I have stood by and watch you do things to her no ordinary woman should go through. Now this."
"Mark, she knew full well what we were doing. She enjoyed it, Sookie knew the window was open and her antics outside were for my benefit. You are getting upset over something unnecessarily." Eric smiled wickedly.
Eric watched as Mark began to pace. "I cant control them when you pull this shit Eric." Then he strode out of the office just as angry as he was when he came in. Eric looked out the window to watch Mark go back outside, he was red faced, he yelling at the guards. Served him right Eric thought. Mark always was insisting what Eric chose for his wife was wrong or indecent, this taught him a valuable lesson. Sookie was his, only his and the only name she would ever scream would be his. He went back to his desk to work with a big smile on his face.
Logging on to his laptop Eric spent a few hours working, making calls, going over paperwork he need to get through. He looked over the bid for Stan's home. He grinned at the price he was offered for it. It was much more than what her thought he would get, he was very pleased. Eric got the number to the owner of the home Sookie had looked at on the internet, after much negotiating they came to a price, one much lower than the one he was taking for Stan's. Smiling at his talents Eric knew Sookie would be thrilled, she loved that house and he only wanted her happy.
He started to feel Sookie, she was upset, as he got up to check on her Eric felt him before he appeared, he appeared in a flash next to him. "Hello my son."
Johan's face was really serious. "Daddy, can you check on mommy?" Lily was rushing in after Johan.
Eric rushed to the bedroom, he went to Sookie, the covers she had kicked off her of. She was on her side and she was crying in her sleep, he could see the babies legs hitting her insides. Gently Eric sat next to her. "My love, please wake up." He was rubbing the side of her stomach where he could see the babies pressure was.
"Eric?" Her eyes were full of tears.
He leaned over to the table and got the bottle of cream the doctor had given her. "Lets try and put some of this on your stomach my love."
Eric began to speak in Swedish to Gunnar, he was firm and he almost sounded angry. Sookie looked up at him with tears in her eyes. "Don't be mad at him Eric, he can't help it, he is just a baby." His hands, his voice or the cream she didn't know which was helping. Gunnar began to calm down, she could feel him move.
"Is that better now Sookie?" His eyes were looking into hers. He could feel her anxiety and pain leaving but he wanted her to tell him she was feeling better.
"Yes, much better. I don't know why he does that. He is little still but it is like he wants out or something." She moved her hand to her belly, she gasped. "Does my belly look bigger since this morning?"
He nodded. "I believe it does my love. This baby is growing at leaps and bounds. I do not wish to upset you with what I am about to say but I do not believe this baby will make it but a few more months."
Her eyes got big. "Eric, that cant be! I mean they were all early but not that early. Johan was month, the twins, almost 2." It took her a minute to figure it out. "Oh, I guess that is normal for us huh?"
"Yes, so there is no need to get upset about it. We just need to be prepared." He smiled and leaned to kiss her belly. "Are you hungry? Shall we take you down for dinner so we can take a bath for our appearance at Fangtasia?" He stood up. "Only if you feel up to going."
She smiled. "You bet I do. I miss Felicia."
He stood and went to get her a t-shirt and a pair of shorts. "Here my love, dress and we will join our family for dinner then get dressed for the evening." Sookie let him help her dress and she took his hand as they went down the stairs to the dining room. The kids were in their chairs, Lily was at the table watching them eat. Johan had a chicken leg in his little hand, Enar was using his fingers to eat a green bean with one hand, his sippie cup of True Blood in the other. Erika was smashing her potato wedge with her finger. Eric went to her and whispered in her ear, she looked up at her father, smiled and picked her potato up and popped it in her mouth.
Sergio appeared with a plate for Sookie and a warmed True Blood in their usual spots. "Good evening Northman's." Sergio smiled, they both addressed him and Sookie thanked him for dinner, he disappeared back into the kitchen.
Sookie moaned at the sight of the food on her plate, the smell was wonderful. "This looks so good." Picking up her fork she dug in.
Erika was looking at her father smiling. "Eat your food Princess." He smiled back at her, she began eating again. "Johan, did you read that book daddy gave you this morning?"
"Oh, yes daddy. I loved it." He munched on his chicken some more.
"That is wonderful. Would you like to go out tonight with daddy before he goes to work?" Eric smiled at his oldest son.
"Really daddy? We can go flying?" Johan was giddy and Sookie about choked.
"Your going to take him out tonight?" She asked cautiously.
Eric smiled. "Yes, I will take Johan and Enar out first then Princess and I will go."
"What!" Sookie dropped her folk. "Eric, she is too little." Erika's lip pouted, she wanted to go too.
Eric reached across the table. "Sookie, I will not harm my children. I need to spend more time working and teaching them how to control their powers and magic, just like you do."
Erika was clapping her potato smeared hands. "Yeah! Flying!" Enar looked at his sister, his face looked concerned.
Leaning to his son Eric spoke. "Warrior, daddy will not let her get hurt. You can watch her, you will see, she will be fine." Enar reached to his sister and took her hand, she talked to him quietly while everyone finished up. Eric told Sookie to go up and get in the tub, he would help Lily get the kids washed and changed for bed time. Sookie went up the stairs after kissing and loving on her kids.
Sookie went into the bathroom and ran the water in the tub, added vanilla bath salts and took off her clothes. She stood and looked at her full reflection in the mirror, her hand went to her belly. "Wow." She said out loud. Her belly was getting bigger, she was just in her second trimester now but her belly looked like it was much more than that. "Gunnar, mommy and daddy can't wait to meet you. I love you baby." She felt him flutter around and she was washed with love. The tub was filled so she carefully got in, she settled back into the warm water which almost came to her chin. The bond between she and Eric was wide open, she could feel his contentment, his love, his pride. Watching her husband talk and play with her children was a gift she loved immensely. Sookie closed her eyes and let the bond flow around her, she put her hand over her belly, one over her heart and let her feelings for Eric and their children bounce back to him.
Eric was damp from his daughter and her need to splash all over the tub, her little hands loved the water and she took so much pleasure of making water go all over. He finally had to stop her, half the water from the tub went on the floor. The front of his shirt and jeans were sticking to him from the bath. He grinned, his little daughter was so beautiful and smart. Walking to his room he wanted to change his damp clothes then take the kids out for a few flying lessons before they got too tired. He wanted to check on Sookie first, all the pain she had today concerned him. His wife was laying comfortably in the tub, her eyes were closed.
"Hey sweetie." She never moved.
He laughed. "Hey. Are you alright?"
She opened her eyes and turned her head. "This is amazing. I think I will lay right here until this stubborn child of ours is born. Hey, you know, maybe I will do one of those water births I read about on the internet. I heard they make you more comfortable."
Eric shook his head fiercely. "No, I want you with the doctor with her medical staff and equipment." He sounded almost panicked.
"Eric, your so funny." She giggled.
"I am not trying to be." He walked and sat on the side of the tub. "I love you too much to let you bring my son into the world without all the assistance we can get. Dr. Ludwig is good at what she does, she will do everything in her training and power to help us."
She put her hand on his knee. "Eric, I was only kidding. I know our kids are too magical and technically I am of the sky Fae. I don't think our son would appreciate the water birth." She laughed and he smiled.
"Very well. I am going to take the kids out to fly. Do you want to come out with us?" He stood and looked down on her.
She thought about it for a minute. "Help me up, your son is killing me." He was already wet so he put his hands into the water to pull the plug then picked her up. "Sweetie, your hand would have been fine." She giggled against his chest.
"Nothing but the best for you my Queen. It is warm out, just put on your robe and put your hair in a towel. I will help you with it when we are done. The children wont be out long, Enar is already yawning." He set her down near the bed. Eric handed her a towel to wrap around her head and Eric took another to dry off her back and legs. Eric went to the closet and took out a long sleeved black shirt and black jeans to change into. Quickly she grabbed her robe and her slippers and Eric picked her up again to take down the stairs.
Lily had the kids in the living room waiting. Johan jumped up when he saw his parents. "Are you ready daddy?"
Sookie smiled at her son, he was so sweet. She noticed Eric had dressed them all in dark clothes. Looking up at her husband he had a big grin on his face, he set her down on her feet. Eric knelt down to his children. "Yes, lets go. Enar first this time, you got to go up first last time." Johan smiled and took his brothers hand to lead him to the back yard. Eric picked up Erika and carried her to follow his sons. Sookie walked next to them. Eric pointed at the chair she sat in earlier in the day, this time it was dark and the stars were out. "Sookie, sit here with Johan and Erika while I take the Warrior up."
Sookie took the seat and pulled the kids to her lap while they watched Eric talk to Enar. His eyes looking deeply into his fathers to listen to what was said to him. He nodded and Eric stood up. "Ready son?" Enar held his hands up. "No, use your power Enar." Looking up he closed his little blue eyes tight and his feet began to lift off the ground. Johan was clapping and Sookie shushed him so he wouldn't make Enar lose his concentration. When Enar's eyes were level with his fathers Eric grinned. "Lets go, stay close to me, aright?" Enar told him yes and they were off into the sky. Sookie could only see a bit of Eric's blond hair otherwise they would have been lost in the night.
"Mommy? Can you fly?" Johan asked her.
She laughed and kissed his cheek. "Mommy has never tried. I can pop like you, I cant run like you and daddy. That I think is something daddy gave you."
Johan didn't understand. "Gave me?"
"Yes, see, when mommy and daddy made you we both had gifts, special gifts and powers that only the other had. You got a little bit of daddy and a little bit of mommy." She smiled at her son.
He nodded as Eric and Enar came back to the ground. Enar was yawning and Eric was holding him. Eric floated to where Sookie was sitting and handed Enar to her and took Johan. "Well done my Warrior, you did wonderfully! He did really great Sookie, his balance is really strong."
Sookie grinned at Enar. "That is great baby!" She hugged him tight and he yawned again. Sookie looked up at Eric. "Hurry, ok? They are getting tired." He smiled and he and Johan were in the air and gone. Erika was smiling and clapping. "Your next little girl, are you excited?"
Erika squealed. "Yes mommy!" She looked at Sookie and began to chatter about something as Eric and Johan came back to them. Her first born son was smiling and waving.
"Mommy? Did you see us?" Johan was still on his own, he didn't need Eric's help to ascend or descend. He landed and rushed to Sookie's side.
"We all saw you! You did great Johan. Can your sister go up now?" Johan nodded and Eric took his daughter.
"Ready my Princess?" She squeaked and Eric smiled. "Now, you must concentrate, hold on to daddy alright?" Her face was lit up with excitement. Eric held her out, her face still smiling and he let her go ready to grab her. She levitated, her little arms moved up and she went up too. "Hold on Erika, you cant go without me." Eric sounded panicked.
Erika started to go up farther but she waited for Eric. "Hurry daddy!" Her little body was stable, she looked at Eric like he was late to the party.
"Yes, Princess. Stay close to daddy." He caught up to her and he was right next to her as they went up into the sky. Sookie watched as they circled around, Erika was well in front of him and Eric moved to get closer to her. Erika was swerving and Sookie gasped, but she heard her daughter giggle, she was doing it on purpose. Sookie closed her eyes, this little girl was going to be the end of her existence, she just knew it.
Erika came flying back down, Eric right behind her. "Fun!" Her hands were clapping as she levitated to her mothers lap. "See mommy! I fly!" Erika was so excited and Sookie's heart was pounding hard with worry.
Eric looked down on them. "She is quicker than the boys. I think she is like her mother, loves adventure." He grinned down on his daughter proud.
"Don't blame this on me. You're the one that they got flying from, me, not so much. Here, take your kids so we can put them to bed." She held a sleeping Enar up for Eric to take. Eric put him on his shoulder than picked up Erika like a sack of potatoes under his arm. She was giggling and calling to her daddy.
Johan crawled down from the chair and looked at Sookie. "Mommy, Enar and I will watch her, we love her." Sookie smiled at her son, she knew what he meant. She took his hand to take him to his room to put down for the night.
When Johan was in bed Sookie went to her bedroom to get dressed. She sat down on the vanity chair as Eric came in. "Lover, let me help you with your hair." Sookie loved it when he would comb out her hair but she didn't want to bother him.
"Sweetie, I can do it. You don't have too." She had the brush in her hand.
"Sookie, I had long hair for centuries, it has only been in the last few years I cut it. I enjoy doing your hair for you." He smiled and pulled the chair to sit behind her. He took the brush and began brushing out her hair. "Your hair has gotten so long and blond since we first met. You have beautiful hair my love."
She turned slightly to look at him. "So do you, I cant imagine you with long hair. I guess when you were human that was common and at different times throughout your life. I love your hair just the way it is. I get all business Eric who combs it back and then I get my Eric, sexy and lets it fall in his face."
He chuckled. "Yes, I know how much you enjoy it like that, what did you call it? Sexy Eric." Eric leaned over and kissed her shoulder.
Sookie put her make up on while he helped her with her hair. She put on yellow diamonds on her ears and the yellow pendant necklace he had given her. Eric's hand skimmed over the platinum chain around her neck. "It is so pretty Eric. I love this necklace. It isn't my favorite but I love it."
Eric stopped brushing before he spoke. "I thought this one was your favorite."
"Oh, no, I love it, I love them all but its not my favorite." She wanted to see if he could guess.
He thought about it for a minute and grinned. "Which is it then?"
She giggled. "You know it is the one you gave me on our wedding day, your mothers necklace. I would give them all away if I had too but that one never. I want to be able to give that to Erika on her wedding day." She turned to look at him. "Will that be alright, I mean if we give it to her the day she gets married?"
The growling coming from him made her laugh. "Do not laugh wife. My daughter will have no need for the necklace, she will not marry. She is a Princess, she will help her brothers rule our world, there will be no time for males."
Trying her best not to laugh, she put her hand over her mouth. "Have you seen our daughter Eric? She is sweet and adorable. Men will flock to her like the woman flock to you. She is your daughter after all. I will give her the necklace whether you like it or not." She turned around and waited for him to start her hair again. Biting her tongue was the only thing that stopped her from laughing.
Eric narrowed his eyes then started on her hair again. He didn't say anymore about it. When he was done he stood, handed her the brush and went to shower. Sookie almost felt sorry for teasing him but she knew he needed to get a handle on this on his own.
Sookie had a satin dress in the color of her diamonds, sunny yellow. It was sleeveless, knee length vintage Valentino she had bought in a shop in New Orleans. It had a tight bodice, pearl buttons went up the front of it to the v neck that went down to her cleavage. The skirt of the dress was fuller and flowed over her belly, she knew she could wear it this last time until after the baby. Amelia had helped her pick out great platform heels that weren't too high in off white with a yellow heel. Sookie was bent over adjusting her shoe when Eric came in. His eyes went to her shoes, up her legs to her rear end. "Wife if you do not stand up immediately, you and those shoes will not make it out of this house in one piece." His fangs were down and he was hissing.
She stood, ran her hands over her back side then slowly turned. He hissed again. "Do you like the dress Eric?"
He moved in blur toward her. "Will you wear those for me later?"
Her eyebrow went up. "Depends on where you plan this little marathon."
Eric began growling. "Sookie."
"I think I will wear them and only them for you later. We haven't been in the den lately. Will you play with me downstairs tonight?" Eric's hands went to her arms and pulled her close, he licked her neck then bit her causing her to cry out. She fell against him as they both climaxed together. "Eric!"
Quickly he took his fill then closed the wound. "I am sorry my love."
She blinked then pushed away from him. "Cheater! Now I have to change my panties." He sat down on the bed and burst out laughing. "Not funny Eric. You were supposed to wait."
"Sookie, we would have never made it out of the house if I had not bit you. I was rock hard, I could not go out in public like that. You would have had to help me." He stuck his bottom out in a pout.
Her hand smacked at him. "Get your gorgeous ass dress while I clean up and change."
He grabbed her arm. "No cleaning up. Change your panties if you must, I would prefer you not but if you are uncomfortable change."
She looked at him like he was crazy. "You don't want me to change? After that?"
He shook his head. "No."
Shrugging her shoulders she sat on the vanity. "Ok, get ready so we can go then." She smiled wickedly at him. Eric dressed in a his Fangtasia attire, he put on a black tank top, black dress pants, black boots and black leather jacket. He looked good enough to eat. She stared at him. "I guess it was good we did have our little orgasm, I definitely would have jumped you."
He threw his head back and laughed. "See, it is difficult to see your bonded looking so sexy you just want to fuck them and leave them drained." Eric put his wallet and cell phone in his pocket while he spoke.
"Well, I don't know about the draining part, but I got the fucking part." She laughed at his expression.
"My wife." He shook his head, took her hand and lead her down the stairs to the waiting SUV. They were going with Nigel alone tonight, the car was on the road and headed to Fangtasia quickly. Nigel parked the car in Eric's usual spot. Eric opened his door, held his hand out for Sookie to get out and he wrapped his arm around her taking her to the back door. He opened it, let her go ahead of him then lead her to the office. "Sit my love. I have a few things to do then we can go out to the bar. Unless you want to go ahead of me." He looked at her curiously.
She smiled shyly. "Actually is Felicia here?" Eric nodded. "I want to talk to her. Do you mind?"
"Go on my love. Keep Nigel close to you alright? Do not go to the bathroom or leave the building without him. Alright?" He looked at her seriously.
She nodded and walked out the door. Nigel was leaned up against the door. "My Queen."
"Nigel, I want to go catch up with Felicia. Stay close." She looked at him seriously and he bowed.
"As you wish my Queen." He followed her to the bar where Felicia was opening a bottle of beer.
"Hello Mistress. How are you?" Felicia looked thrilled to see her.
"Hi Felicia. I am great. I have missed you. How are things going?" Sookie asked and looked around, the bar was full already.
She shrugged. "Ok, I guess. Did you have a good time in Texas?"
Sookie laughed. "Always a barrel of fun everywhere I go." She opened her purse and handed Felicia a little box. "For you."
Felicia stepped back. "My Queen, I cant accept that." She pushed it back.
"If you don't you will hurt my feelings. Do you want to hurt my feelings?" Sookie pretended to pout.
"No, no. I just do not believe the King would like you giving me gifts."
"Felicia that is ridiculous. Eric is generous and he is always doing for his staff. This isn't from Eric, this is from me to you. Please." Sookie smiled at her vampire.
Felicia carefully took the box in her hand, looking down at the black velvet box then she opened it and gasped. "Oh, Sookie, this is too much. I cant take these." They were diamond and emerald drop down earrings set in white gold. Sookie saw them when she was online and ordered them, she knew they would be perfect for Felicia.
"Yes, you can and you will. I saw them and thought of you. Enjoy them." Sookie turned to see a big burly vampire walking her way. "Nathan? Is that you?"
He smiled and came to stand in front of her. The big vampire bowed. "Good evening my Queen. How have you been?"
"Oh, it is wonderful to see you. Are you just visiting us for the first time?" She waved her arm around to indicate Fangtasia.
He laughed. "No Mistress, actually I am here running Fangtasia while Pamela is in Nevada."
Sookie laughed. "That is awesome. I bet you have gotten quite an eye full here."
"You can say that yes." Nathan smiled brightly.
"Well, you just let me know if you need anything, alright?" Sookie smiled.
"Absolutely my Queen." He bowed and walked away.
Eric walked out and came to her. "Lets entertain the vermin." His beautiful smile was glowing. He took her hand to help her on the stage to the two waiting chairs. Sookie looked out to the crowd, the place was wall to wall humans and vampires. Eric went to his bored to undead look and Sookie just watched the patrons interact. What a strange world she had been thrust into. Ever since the Great Revelation her life had changed immensely, most of it was because of the vampire sitting next to her. She looked over at him and he carefully smiled at her. He didn't want the crowd to know he was funny or sweet or the million other things he was outside of this place. He might love this bar but when he was home with her and their kids he was so much more than this persona he put on. They sat there for about an hour when Eric's phone rang. "Sookie I have to take this." He stepped down and left her sitting there.
Sookie looked into the crowd, she played games in her minds about what people were thinking then she would let her shields down to see if she was right. It entertained her and she was good at it. After about thirty minutes Nathan stepped to the stage. "My Queen, the King is asking for you."
She thanked him, then stood to go to the office to find Eric, he wasn't there. She walked around his desk and there was a post it on his computer screen. It was an arrow that pointed downward. Giggling she went to the stairs to go downstairs.
She past through the dungeon to the love den. Sookie could smell the scent coming from the room, it was rich and it was exotic. Carefully she opened the door to find there were no lights, no candles, nothing. "Eric?" She walked into the room and tried to adjust to the light. "Sweetie, are you down here?" The door slammed behind her, she whipped around still not being able to see anything, she reached for the door knob and it was locked. She pulled on the door, it wouldn't open. Her heart began to beat really fast, she was getting scared. "Eric, are you here?" Sookie let her shields down, she only felt a void, nothing else. She began to walk forward, she couldn't see to get out so she put her hands in front of her to try to find her way to the bathroom but arms grabbed her, turned her around and pushed her to the bed with her back to the bed. Part of her was scared, she knew she should run, try to escape, pop, anything. She felt a hand on her ankle that pulled her down the bed, the click of metal against her ankle. "Hey! Eric, please say something." Her other ankle was caught and she heard the click again. She tried to sit up but before she could her arms were tied together with a soft material above her head. Her arms were being pulled and tied to the headboard. They were pulled really tight. "Ow!" The material tightened up again. "Ow!" She began to panic a bit. "Seriously, Eric, please say something." A hand went to the front of her dress and grabbed her breast and squeezed hard, she tried to buck away from it. The hand went back this time, it pinched her nipple through her dress. The hand came back and pulled the buttons of the dress right off. She cried out as the buttons flew all over the floor.
Sookie's breathing was pitching again. She tried hard to concentrate but she couldn't, her mind was going a million miles a minute. The hand went to her the front of her panties and pulled the material down just a bit to touch her curls, her body bucked again. She felt a finger begin moving downward, it went to her folds, then pulled away. There was tearing of material and the dress she wore was gone. The hand was at her panties next and yanked them off her, her legs were spread for easy access. All she had left was her bra and her shoes. Sookie's eyes were searching the darkness, she felt nothing, there was no movement, there was no weight against the bed. Sookie felt fingers penetrate her, one, then two, then three, then all four. She cried out from the pain of the impalement, the pounding was intense. Then she felt fangs on her clit, they bit down hard, she screamed as the blood was sucked from her nub. She felt a cool tongue begin to lick to heal it, when it was it went from licking to long laps, then to flicking, she was going insane. There was no way she could move, her entire body was shaking desperately. "Please, please, please be Eric."
She heard for the firs time a laugh, it was wicked and almost evil. She got frightened immediately, Eric never sounded like that. Had someone lured her down her and she thought it was Eric. Her body bucked against the restraints.
The sensation between her legs stopped, there were lips against her ear. "Mine." He mounted her and pushed into her so hard and fast she almost blacked out. His hips were relentless, the harder he pushed her the wetter she got, she was screaming out to the top of her lungs. Eric's hands were on her breasts, they were pinching really hard, so hard it was painful but in a pleasurable way. He pulled her hips up and pounded harder, she was screaming with a orgasm that took her breath away, she moaned trying to catch it.
Eric didn't stop, his cock kept going, his hands were all over her, she felt his arm pushed against her mouth, the blood Sookie could feel going down her chin, her neck. Her tongue darted out to get all she could. She began to cry out. "Eric, oh God Eric!" Her body moved as much as it could against the restraints as she began to come, she felt Eric begin to jerk, he was coming too. He growled and fell forward. Sookie could barely breathe, not from the weight of him just from the intensity of what had just happened. Sookie felt Eric move, the restraints were taken off her legs, her arms were released and the fabric was gone away from her arms. The weight of the bed changed next to her, he laid down next to her.
"Are you angry?"
Sookie could barely breath yet. "No."
"Did I frighten you?"
"A little."
"Did you like it?"
"Yes."
He pulled her next to him. "Tell me, did you enjoy the pain?"
She blinked into the darkness. "It was different."
He kissed her chin. "Good different or bad different?"
"I was scared, then I was excited. It was really intense, but good."
He chuckled. "You knew it was me, right?"
She sighed. "I thought I did, then you laughed and I wasn't sure."
"Sookie, why didn't you open the bond. I could feel you."
"I didn't want to cheat." She confessed.
"Cheat? How would that be cheating?" He laughed.
Sookie cuddled closer. "Its like reading the end of the book before you read the whole thing. What fun is that?"
"I see your point. Would you be up to doing more extreme things down here with me?"
She answered immediately. "Yes."
He laughed. "Think about it a minute."
"I mean it, I would. We wont do anything to hurt the baby right?" She was concerned about the roughness.
"No, we can do mild things until after the baby comes. There is all types of things we can do Sookie, gentle, extreme, role playing, bondage, you name it."
Sookie thought about it for a minute. "I would like to try different stuff with you. Can I ask you something?"
"You may." He wrapped his arms around her body.
"Am I boring to you? I mean, you have been with so many woman, do you want me to be more adventurous?" She asked quietly.
He leaned over and turned on the light. He pulled her face to his, the fangs were down. "No, never say that again, I mean it Sookie. What you and I share is beautiful, I enjoy our sex life. We play, we love, sometimes we fuck like now. If we never spent another night in this room I would not care. I have experienced all types of sex, some good, some dark, some evil. I will teach you fun things, places our bodies and minds can go together. I would never want to do something to make you feel like you are not enough for me. I love you just the way you are."
"But I don't know things, I mean I have read stuff, I have asked Amelia but I don't know about advanced stuff. I don't want to disappoint you or make you want someone else."
He laughed. "Never, Sookie. I do not want anyone but you. Do I make you feel like I want someone else?"
"No, but….."
"But what Sookie? Do I not tell you every day how much I love you, do I not make love with you every day, do I not come home to you every day? Have I taken even one donor since I met you?" He asked her seriously.
"I am just out of my element down here and I guess I am just a bit insecure about it."
He leaned over and his body was above hers. "I will teach you whatever you want to learn. Baby steps Sookie. I have had a thousand years to learn what I have come to know. Some of the things we can do together will tire you out, push your body to the limits both mentally and physically and I don't want to do that with you while we are pregnant. I worry enough about something happening to you without me adding to it."
"You are too good to me." She pushed up to kiss him.
"No, I just got lucky meeting the most beautiful creature in the world." He grinned down on her.
"Back at you hot stuff."
"Are you ready to go home?" He asked her.
"I cant leave, you ripped my clothes up!" She giggled again.
He laughed too. 'So it seems I did. I will get you a t-shirt to wear home." Eric went to the drawer where there were t-shirts and he brought one the size he wore and sat her up to pull it over her head. "Lets get you and our son home." Picking his clothes off the chair he quickly put them back on. He picked her up, carried her out of the room, up the stairs and to the waiting car with Nigel driving. "Home Nigel." The car was in drive and headed home immediately. Sookie cuddled next to her husband for the ride home, she was asleep five minutes after leaving the parking lot. When Nigel pulled up to the house Eric got out and carried his wife up the stairs, put her in bed and covered her up. He took his clothes off and crawled in next to her. He spent a few hours watching her until he finally fell asleep, his arm around his wife, his hand on his son.
