Chapter 59

Dawn was coming, Eric spent the entire night and early morning watching his son and wife sleep. Gunnar laid between the two of them and when he would whimper he would put his son up to his wife's breast to feed. Sookie would put her hand on her son, her eyes barely opening most of the time. She was so tired and Eric wanted her to rest as much as possible.

"Eric?" Sookie's eyes opened.

"Yes, my love?" Eric spoke to her quietly.

She sat up on one elbow. "Watch the baby for a minute, I need to go to the bathroom."

He looked at her face, she looked a bit better than when she fell asleep. "Of course love. Do you need help?"

"No, I will be ok. Just watch big boy." She smiled and crawled out of the bed. Eric had insisted she take a warm bath when they got home last night, alone of course and then he carried her naked body to the bed. Eric had the bassinette in their room for the baby but Sookie didn't want him away from her. He watched his naked wife walk quickly to the bathroom.

Gunnar's eyes began to open, his little legs kicking slightly. "Good morning Gunnar. Mommy will be right back so you may have breakfast. Remember what I said, go easy on her." He smiled down at his son who gave his father a little smile.

"Is he awake already?" Sookie giggled. "He has his daddy's appetite."

"Yes, well when you are graced with those beautiful breasts as a reward your appetite does grow." Eric looked at her wickedly.

She went to the side of the bed and climbed back in. "After I get the baby fed and put back down I want to go down and see the kids." She picked Gunnar up and put him to her breast, he latched right on. "He has the hang of it already."

"Is he hurting you?" Eric was concerned.

Sookie rubbed his curls and smiled. "No, not at all."

Eric stood up. "After he eats we can bring the children up here to see their brother. I do not want you out of the bed today Sookie. You need to rest a couple days. I would feel much better if you did."

She looked him in the eye. "Eric, I feel fine."

"You may feel fine but I know you are tired. We have been having sex like mad, we traveled and then you gave birth. You need to rest and that is final." He put his t-shirt on and looked at her. She was smiling, he knew he won. "I will go and get your breakfast then let Lily know when the children are done eating to bring them up to us. We can have some family time." He was gone.

"Gunnar, daddy is very bossy. You'll see." She moved him to the other side of her chest. "You get to meet your brothers and sister today. They are so excited to meet you." Sookie spent another thirty minutes with him before Eric came back in with a tray of food and drinks.

"Your breakfast my Queen." He set it down on the table and reached to take Gunnar.

Sookie looked up at him. "Can he just lay next to me while I eat?"

Eric could feel her insecurity where he was concerned, she was frightened to be away from him. He knew he needed to reassure her. "Angel, he is fine. Nothing is going to happen to him if we put him in his bed."

"I know Eric, but he isn't Fae. What if something happens and someone tries to take him or something? He can't protect himself like the other kids." She was really concerned.

He moved to sit next to her and the baby. "He will be fine Sookie. I am only putting him right next to you so you can eat. We will put the bed right next to us. No one is going to take him. Alright?"

She nodded reluctantly and handed the sleeping baby to his father. Eric put him in his bed and put her tray in front of her. He pulled the bassinette next to the bed. "I cant eat all this Eric." The tray had a huge mushroom and cheese omelet, toast, yogurt and fruit, a glass of milk and a True Blood.

"I bet you can if you try. Now, please Sookie, eat." Eric moved and she watched him walk to the diaper bag on the floor. He took out a tiny onesie in red that said Fangtasia across it in black, a blanket and a diaper. "While you are in the shower I will bathe the baby and get him ready to see his siblings."

Sookie spoke just before putting a fork full of egg in her mouth. "I can do that Eric."

His fangs came down and he flashed her the face, she swallowed hard, he was angry. "Wife, I am here, I am his father and I participate in my children's upbringing. I am completely capable of helping my wife who I might add just gave birth to my son. I will take him to give a bath and change him. Is that clear?"

She nodded her head. "Yes sweetie." Sookie finished her breakfast.

"By the way, I have had the new crib put into the nursery for Gunnar. His bed is made and ready for him whenever we are ready to put him in it." Eric went to the closet and got clean clothes out for Sookie. He laid them on the vanity for her.

She took a big drink of her True Blood and looked at him. "Are you mad at me because I want to keep the baby with us, in here I mean?" She looked like she was going to cry.

He moved to sit next to her. "Lover, he can sleep between us as long as you wish. I enjoy having our children close to us. I know you have wonderful instincts where our children are concerned. Please do not think I am angry with you." He leaned over to kiss her gently.

"Thanks sweetie, I am just a little jittery where he is concerned. I wasn't prepared for a vampire baby." She looked down at her sleeping son and put her hand on his belly.

"We will figure it out my love. We always do." He took they tray and put it on the table, then picked his son up. His held his hand out for her to take so she could get up. "Time for your shower. I feel our children stirring."

She giggled. "I do too. Ok, Gunnar, go with daddy and take a bath. I will see you later." She kissed him quickly on his forehead, stood up to kiss Eric and headed to the bathroom to shower.

Gunnar's eyes were open now. "Alright son, lets get you clean and ready to meet the family." Eric took him to the nursery and ran the water in the sink in the bathroom. He wanted to give Sookie a few minutes of privacy so she could get dressed and not fuss over the baby. Eric stuck his hand in the water. "Perfect." Eric took the baby to the changing table and took all his clothes off and his diaper. "Ready for your bath my son?" Together they went back into the bathroom and Eric checked the water again then gently put Gunnar's behind in. His son's fangs popped immediately. "Now Gunnar, you are vampire, all vampires love bathes." He chuckled at his son and the face he was making. Eric took that washcloth and baby soap next to the sink, gently he washed his son's body and curly hair. "You know my son, your grandmother had beautiful blonde curly hair just like yours. My mother was beautiful, she always wore her hair long, almost to her waist. Father would tell her everyday how beautiful she was." Eric smiled at the memory, he hadn't thought of his human parents in that way in a long time, not until he saw Gunnar and his curly hair.

When they were through Eric took Gunnar and wrapped a fluffy towel around him. He walked him to the changing table and gently laid him down. His eyes were clear and his blue eyes were sparkling. Gunnar put his arms in the air and stretched, Eric smiled down at his son. The baby was powered, lotion applied and a new diaper was on his behind. Eric took the Fangtasia onesie and put it over his head, snapped it along his bottom and collar. Gunnar yawned. "Sleepy my son?"

Eric took him back to their room. Sookie put on a casual wrap dress, dried her hair and put it in a pony tail high on her head, put on earrings and a little make up. "Hey my handsome vampires." She turned to look at them as they walked in.

"Now, Gunnar, is your mommy not the most beautiful woman in the world?" Eric grinned ear to ear.

"Ah, you are too sweet Eric Northman." She smiled at her husband. "Did he do ok?" Sookie stood and pulled gently on his little foot making the baby coo.

"He did wonderfully, his fangs came down when I put him in the water. It was fabulous." Eric kissed the top of his son's head.

There was a knock on the door. Eric walked to open it and Lily stood there with Erika in her arms, Johan and Enar holding hands next to her. "Hello troops! Come in and see mommy and your new brother." Erika was squealing and her hands out, she smiled brightly.

"Oh, you guys! He is so cute, look at all that curly hair." Lily laughed. Sookie said hello to Lily and thanked her for bringing the kids up.

Sookie took Erika and hugged her. "Hi baby girl, have you been good?"

Erika looked at her baby brother and reached over to touch him. "Yes, mommy, very good."

Eric knelt down to the boys. "Here is Gunnar my sons. Say hello."

Johan looked at his brother and touched his head. "I have been waiting for you Gunnar." Eric looked up at Sookie, she stared at her oldest son not knowing what to say. Enar put his hand behind his back and leaned forward and whispered something to his new brother. When the Warrior was done he nodded and stepped back.

"Ok kids, lets let mommy and daddy get some rest." Lily moved to take their hands.

Eric stopped her. "No Lily, leave them. We would like them to spend some time with their new brother. I will put them down for a nap in a bit." She nodded and shut the door behind her as she left.

Eric knelt down in front of his kids. "Children, mommy needs to rest so lets all climb in the bed with her."

Johan giggled. "Yeah!" He took Enar's hand and walked him to the bed. Sookie sat Erika on the bed then helped the boys up, Eric went to the other side and sat next to the kids with Gunnar. Sookie climbed in with them.

Sookie smiled. "Johan, did you want to hold your brother?" He looked at his mother and smiled. "Sweetie."

Eric watched Sookie pull Johan higher on the bed between them, Eric leaned over and showed Johan how to hold the baby. "Hi Gunnar." Enar crawled up and sat in front of his big brother. "Look Enar." They were looking at like they had a secret. The kids started speaking in Swedish, they said something funny and Eric chuckled.

Sookie rolled her eyes at her family. "Ok, Enar do you want to hold your brother now?" Enar looked at his mother like he was unsure what to say.

"Warrior, if you wish to hold Gunnar daddy will help you." Enar smiled and Eric pulled him into his lap. Sookie took the baby out of Johan's lap and handed him to Eric. "You are a big brother again Enar." Eric held Enar tight to him and kissed his blonde head. Then gently rested his chin on his son's head.

Gunnar was blinking up at his brother, his hands reached up to touch Enar's face then went into his mouth. Enar laughed. "Gunnar is funny." Sookie giggled, few things made Enar laugh so it was a treat to see him smiling.

"Alright Warrior, let your little sister have a turn then we need to let mommy and Gunnar take a nap. We can all nap with her if we want." Eric took the baby from Enar and Erika quickly changed places with her twin. Erika kissed her new brother and held his hand.

Johan looked at his mother. "We can sleep with you too?"

Sookie touched his chin. "Yes, we will all get cozy and snuggle to take a nap." She looked Eric. "Sweetie, if I didn't love this bed so much we would have to get a bigger one. These boys you know are going to be as tall as you. How are we all going to fit in here?" She laughed and he did too.

"I thought you said we would never replace the baby making bed." His eyebrows wiggled at her.

She covered her mouth trying to keep from laughing. "I wont, not now, but we should be capping out here soon shouldn't we? I mean we have four. Are we really going to have any more?"

Johan looked at his mother. "Yes, mommy you will."

Eric's face lit up. "Really Johan? Mommy and daddy will have more babies." Enar stuck his fingers in his ears.

Johan grinned. "Yes daddy. Do you want to know how many?"

"No! Absolutely not! You two will jinx us." Sookie got off the bed and went to the bathroom.

Eric leaned to his son. "Prince, whisper into daddy's ear how many more brothers or sisters you will have."

"No sisters daddy. Erika is my only sister." He looked at Eric very serious. Eric looked at his daughter and his world shifted a bit, he smiled. He would not tell Sookie, she said she wanted to torture him with more daughters but now he knew better. Johan pulled his fathers shirt, Eric leaned down and his son whispered into Eric's ear.

Eric pulled away and looked at his son. "Are you sure Johan?"

Johan smiled. "You call us troops daddy." Eric burst out laughing. Yes, his wife would be really angry if she found out.

"Johan, Enar, Erika you must all promise not to tell mommy how many more babies we will have alright?" He looked at them very serious.

"We promise, don't we?" Johan looked at his twin siblings and they nodded. Johan smiled up at his father.

Sookie came back into the room. Gunnar started to fuss. "Ok, lets feed the baby and lay down. I am really tired." Sookie climbed back up, Eric handed Gunnar to her, she pulled her dress down and Gunnar began to eat.

Erika turned around and hugged her father. "Love you daddy." She laid her blonde head on his chest. His baby daughter was so important to him, he was thrilled she would be his only daughter. As much as he loved her he knew one would be about all he could handle.

"Oh and I love you too Princess." Eric kissed the side of her face. "Lets get comfortable so we can get a nap in." The kids all started moving around and climbed under the covers, Eric pulled the kids close to him and propped his head on his elbow. Sookie was still leaned up against the headboard feeding Gunnar. "He is tired too."

She smiled at Eric. "Yes, it has been a busy couple days, hasn't it baby?" Gunnar pulled away from her and yawned. "I am going to put him in the bed so we don't squish him."

Erika giggled and cuddled closer to Eric. Sookie kissed him then passed him around for everyone else to kiss. She put him in the crib next to the bed and laid down, turned toward her kids and wrapped her arms around them. They were all sleeping within minutes.

Eric could feel the eyes on him before he woke. He opened his eyes, his children were all silent and laying perfectly still, three pairs of blue eyes staring at him. Leaning close he whispered to them. "Are you ready to get up?" He put his finger to his mouth so they would be quiet. Silently he rolled out of the bed, picked each up then put them on their feet on the floor. "Ok, lets go find Lily and have some dinner." Eric turned to see Sookie was still sound asleep, his son was sleeping in his bed next to her. The children went ahead of him, he rushed to the nursery and got the monitor and receiver, took it back to the room, turned it on and set it on the table. He left at vampire speed to find his kids.

"Did you guys meet the baby?" Amelia asked the kids, she was at the table with Adam and Lily.

Johan nodded. "He is sleeping. Erika loves him."

Enar looked mad. "I love him too."

Eric chuckled as he walked in. "Of course you do Warrior. Johan, stop teasing your brother." He walked up to Enar and kissed him on the top of the head. Enar smiled at his older brother.

Trish walked out and smiled. "Well, aren't you all just a sight. Eric, Sookie's plate is ready, did you want me to take it up?"

"No, I will. I can hear the baby, she should be up by now." He pointed to the monitor. Just then he heard Sookie say hello to Gunnar. Trish got the plate and glass of milk, handed it to Eric to take up the stairs.

"Hello lover." His wife was sitting on the bed feeding the baby.

She looked up and smiled. "Hey gorgeous. I could have come down you know."

He shook his head. "No, you will not." Eric went to the table, set her food down and turned off the monitor. "How are you feeling Sookie?"

"Better, the nap really helped." Her hand was caressing her son's face.

He sat next to her, kissed the baby then her. "Good, you take the rest of the night and relax. We can take Gunnar downstairs with us, you and the children can watch a movie if you wish."

Sookie nodded. "That would be good. I need to change him and we can go down with you."

"Actually I am taking Johan out to the stables for an hour, I promised him yesterday we would get some time in with Victory. Do you mind?" He took the baby so she could eat.

"No, he would love that. I think he loves that horse already." She took a big drink of her milk.

Eric pricked his finger and stuck it in the babies mouth. "Very well, I will take Gunnar and get him changed while you eat. Call me when you are ready to go down, I will come and get you."

"Eric, I am able to walk down the stairs. Please." She looked at him with pleading eyes.

"Alright, but if I catch you anywhere but on that couch Mrs. Northman, I will bring you back up here and paddle your behind. You have been well overdue for one as it is." He stood, quickly kissed her and left her. She stuck her tongue out at the door.

Eric changed the baby, took him downstairs and Lily and the kids were coming in from the dining room. "Troops, mommy is coming down, she will watch a movie with you if you wish." All were happy but Johan, he stood quietly and didn't say anything. "Well, the twins can watch a movie with mommy and Gunnar. Johan, you and I are going to the stables."

Johan laughed and rushed to his father and hugged his leg. "Thank you daddy."

Sookie came down shortly after, she sat with the twins and Gunnar, they were going to watched 'Madagascar' together. Eric and his son went to the stables to ride Johan's horse. About an hour went by when Sookie heard the front door fling open.

"What is this about a new baby!" Pam burst through the front door, her voice could be heard everywhere in the house.

Sookie quickly got up and went to the foyer. "Shush Pam, you'll scare the baby."

Pam smiled ear to ear. "Sookie, where is my new sibling?"

"Hi Pam, how are you?" Sookie said flatly.

Pam purred. "I am perfect, where is Master?" She looked around.

Sookie held the baby out to Pam and smiled. "He is out in the stables with Johan. What are you doing here? Eric said you weren't coming home for another week. I text you pictures this morning of him."

"Yes, I got them but I spoke to Eric last night, he allowed me to come for the night to see Gunnar." She looked down on him. "Sookie, I sense no Fairy." Pam's eyes looked into hers.

"That's because he pure vampire. I think Niall's spells had the opposite effect on him." Sookie sighed.

"Does Master know?" Pam looked concerned.

Sookie giggled. "Of course Pam, he knows. He is tickled pink."

"Sookie, I am in no way pink." The woman looked at Eric who was grinning. He walked over and kissed his wife and son. "Hello Pamela, did you have a nice trip?"

Pam nodded. "Yes, of course." She gave Eric an odd look. "I need to speak with you."

"Sookie, I will take Gunnar up with me to the office. Are you and the children alright?" He looked behind him to see the twins were on the couch engrossed in the movie, Johan climbing up the couch too.

"Yep, were fine. Go ahead." Sookie walked back in with her other kids.

Eric took Gunnar from Pam, could tell something was wrong. "Upstairs."

Pam followed Eric up to the office, he took his seat and Pam sat across from him. "Eric, I do not know how to say this but I am just going to spit it out. It seems the Fae world wants Sookie returned."

He laughed. "Yes Pam, we have already dealt with this."

She shook her head. "No, I just got word that Niall is going to petition the council on special circumstances for the return of her. He is claiming she was taken without proper approval."

"What?" Eric's fangs popped.

"I have heard that he feels he was not given enough time to consider your request to bond to her. He is calling for a tribunal." Pam looked worried.

"No! No! No!" Eric's anger began to scare Gunnar. He looked down at his son who was on the verge of crying. He stood and rushed downstairs and handed Gunnar to his wife. "Sookie please take the baby." He was back behind his desk in seconds. "I will not tolerate this, I have had all of this fucking fae shit I will take. If what you say is true I will declare war on him and I will win." His fists pounded the desk.

Pam's fangs were down too. "Eagle called me on the plane, he has been asked to head it. I know he will not allow them to take her. I am sure of it."

"It will not make it that far. I will dispose of him swiftly." Eric stood.

"Eric, there is more." She looked almost frightened Eric thought. "Niall wants her in Fairy until the decision."

"Never! I will meet my final death first!" Eric took his phone out of his pocket. He dialed Xavier.

"Hello Eric."

Eric spoke through his teeth. "Xavier, what is this about Niall wanting a tribunal?"

"I was just about to call you Eric. Yes, he has petitioned us for one." Xavier sounded concerned.

Eric growled. "I assume you are going to deny his request, correct?"

There was silence. Eric closed his eyes and put his fingers to pinch the bridge of his nose. Xavier cleared his throat. "It is out of my hands Eric. Please know I am behind you one hundred percent. Many of us are, it would be nearly impossible for him to win."

"Xavier, this cannot happen. Niall has no claim on my wife. She is my bonded!" Eric yelled into the phone.

"Calm yourself Viking. Be glad he has not asked for the children." Xavier was losing his patience.

Eric took a moment. "I am sorry Sire, this is beyond comprehension."

"I understand your anger Eric but you must think rationally. Be prepared for Niall to insist she go to Fairy before the trial. I will do all I can to stop it. You will hear from us this evening." He hung the phone up.

Eric looked at Pam. "You will not tell Sookie about this and upset her."

"Eric, you have to tell her, she finds out you have kept something like this she will be more than angry with you. This is her life too." Pam stood up to emphasize her point.

"No! I have made my decision." He hissed at her.

"I will not let you do this. Sookie is a mother, she needs to know." Pam flashed fangs at her.

Eric was around the desk and in her face in an instant. "If I find you have told her, directly or indirectly I will chain you in silver, do you understand me?'

She stepped back. "Yes Master."

"Leave." She was gone in a flash.

Eric dialed his phone again. "Alcide."

Alcide was upbeat. "Hey Eric, what's up?"

"Can you come by?" Eric asked quietly.

"Sure, be there in ten." Alcide hung up.

Eric then made a call to Bill, Nigel, Dr. Ludwig and he was hanging up as Alcide walked in.

Alcide looked at his friend who looked like he would either kill someone or come apart at the seams. "Hey brother, what's going on?"

Eric shook his head. "Alcide, Niall has asked for a tribunal."

"What the hell for?" Alcide growled.

"For Sookie." Eric shook his head still not believing it. "He is going to protest our bond under the grounds he was not notified properly."

Alcide paced. "Eric, this is bad, really fucking bad."

Eric nodded. "I am aware of that fact, yes. I need solutions, recommendations, anything Alcide. I have to come up with a plan immediately. Niall wants her to go to Fairy until the trial."

"Hell no! No way that old fairy is getting her. I am with you Eric, my pack, my men, whatever you need. I will contact all the pack leaders if need be."

"Thank you Alcide, lets take it one step at a time. Eagle will be heading this up so I know the decision will not be tampered with, but I want this ended before it gets that far."

Alcide gave up and sat down. "I agree. You should have killed him that day he broke into the house with Claude."

"We need to formulate a plan, I do not have the time for what ifs. I need to get Sookie and the kids down for the night then we can meet. I do not want her to find out about this. She doesn't need the stress." Eric moved around the desk and sat in front of Alcide.

"Bad idea Eric, she finds out she is going to kick your ass. You know she hated secrets, honesty is the main component for your relationship." Alcide shook his head.

Eric narrowed his eyes. "How do I tell her then Alcide? Oh, by the way Niall is going to take you away from your children for who knows how long? No! She will just have to get angry then because I will not upset her. I will figure a way out of this."

Alcide stood. "I hope you know what you're doing my friend. I got your back and will take the heat with you, but I don't have to sleep with her." He smirked and Eric chuckled.

Eric watched Alcide leave and resumed his phone calls. There had to be a way to stop this train wreck. He would meet his final death before he let anyone take his wife or children from him. Leaving the office he went downstairs, the living room was empty, the lights were off. He opened his bond, they were asleep. Eric heard her come in.

"Master?"

"Yes Pam." Eric didn't turn around.

"What can I do to help?" She whispered.

He turned around. "Will Eagle help us?"

She nodded. "He called to say he will help anyway he can. I am instructed to tell you he will meet with you for strategy."

"Ask him to meet us at Fangtasia at two a.m. please." He turned to leave. "I would like you there too Pam."

She nodded and smiled. "I would never miss a good blood fight Eric. I look forward to watching you chop his head off." She left in a blur.

Eric went upstairs to the bedroom, the light next to the bed was on, Sookie was sitting up feeding the baby. "Hi sweetie."

"Hello my love. How are and my son?" He walked and sat next to her.

She smiled at him. "He's good, were all good. We had so much fun laughing at that movie. The kids loved it, Erika giggled the entire time. You should have seen her, Enar kept shushing her. I finally got her to sleep, she kept laughing and repeating parts of the movie. That little girl is something else."

Eric laughed. "Yes Princess is something else for sure." He touched her face. "Sookie, I know I told you I needed to check on Fangtasia." She nodded. "I am going there now. I have some items I need to take care of. Will you be alright if I leave you?"

"Eric, I will be fine. Lily is here. If I need anything I can call her." Sookie smiled up at him.

He closed his eyes then looked up. "It is a lot for you to deal with. I know I said I would not leave you this week."

"We are fine. Aren't we Gunnar?" His son grunted as he ate. "See, he says its fine."

Eric smiled at his son. "I will be home late. Please rest. Do you need anything before I go?"

"No, I just need you to hurry home. What time is it anyway?" She couldn't see the clock it was turned too much.

"It is almost one. I want you to get some rest. I love you my wife." He kissed her and she told him she loved him.

Eric left, he took his corvette and drove to the bar. He went in through the back door, his vampires were already assembled. Bill, Pam, Nigel were sitting next to each other on the couch. Alcide was in the chair. "Master, I filled them in."

He nodded. "Any suggestions?"

"Lure him out and kill him." Bill said to the group.

"Yes, but how? He will be very careful." Nigel looked around.

Pam grinned. "Use Sookie, she can make him come to her."

"No, I will not involve her. We need to do this without her participation" Eric frowned.

They went over scenario after scenario before there was a tap on the door. Little Eagle stood in the doorway. "May I come in?" He asked the group.

Eric nodded and Eagle walked to sit next to Alcide. "What do you have for us Eagle?"

"I can tell you that the council has denied his request to take her to Fairy. They asked me to relay the message to you this evening. Problem now is Brigant is very pissed. I have heard rumblings he has put a bounty on your head Eric." Eagle looked concerned.

Eric's fangs popped. "Good, let him send his hired guns to try. I look forward to the fight."

Eagle nodded. "You need to watch out for kidnappings. He will not stoop to take her or your children as pawns Eric. I have never know Niall to be so inconsistent and off course. I do not know what has caused this but I know for a fact it will not end without blood shed. Are you prepared for that?"

Eric grinned. "Oh, yes. I have waited for this day for quite awhile. He has disrupted my families life for the last time. He will not live through this."

"I will postpone the trial as long as possible and that is fine with the council. They have made it clear they do not want this on their doorstep. We expect you to handle this Eric, any means necessary." Eagle smirked.

Eric chuckled. "I believe that can be arranged. We just need to get our hands on him."

"Any suggestions?" Alcide asked.

Eagle shook his head. "I cannot be involved in that, if there is any whiff that I have helped you on the side of apprehending the Fairy, that will tilt things in their direction. I must leave that to you." Every one nodded and he turned to leave. "By the way, have you spoken to her about this?"

Rolling his eyes he shook his head. "No and I will not."

"Bad idea Eric. I am sure they have told you that is a bad idea, right?" Eagle indicated the room.

"I am warned." Eric's fangs popped. Eagle smirked and left.

"Well at least we have more time to try and lure Brigant out." Bill said quietly.

"Lets meet again tomorrow at sundown." Everyone stood, nodded and left but Alcide.

Alcide moved to the front of Eric's desk, "This isn't going to be easy Eric. It isn't like we can just go knock on his door. How the hell are we going to get him to come out of Fairy."

Walking around Eric shook his head. "We just have to be creative. I am sure we can come up with something." He nodded. "Lets get home to the wives."

They said their goodbyes, Eric got back in his car to head home. He paid close attention to what was happening around him. Brigant wants a fight, he would get one. The corvette sped to the house, Eric longed to see his wife. He could feel her, she was happy, content and wake. He smiled to himself as he drove quickly to the house. He pulled up to the driveway, nodded to the guards as they let him through the gates and parked the car at the front of the house. The house was dark, he rushed up the stairs eager to see Sookie. She was laying propped up on pillows talking sweetly to his son. "Lover?"

He could see her smile in the dark. "Hi Eric. Everything ok?"

"Yes, my love. Everything is well. How are you and my new son?" Eric he toed off his boots, took off his dress shirt and jeans and got into the bed. He noticed she was only wearing one of his tank tops. His fangs popped.

Sookie giggled. "We're good. Eric, he is such a good baby, he never cries. He'll whimper a little when he is hungry. Our son just looks around the room with those pretty blue eyes you gave him."

Eric smiled. "Yes, he is beautiful isn't he? Are you feeling alright? Any pain?"

"Nothing out of the ordinary for a girl who just gave birth. When he's done would you mind giving me some blood?" She spoke quietly to him.

Grinning he reached over and touched her face. "I would give you anything my love, anything in the world."

"Ah, aren't you sweet? Did you hear that Gunnar? Daddy is trying to get lucky." She looked up at her husband and smiled. "I love you Eric, you are so amazing." She cleared her throat. "Are you ready to tell me what's going on now?"

He sat still and shook his head. "It is nothing I can not handle."

"Eric, were partners. No secrets remember, if I ask you tell me. I am asking." Her tone changed, it was serious.

He narrowed his eyes. "This isn't something I can share yet Sookie. There is too much on the line."

Sookie moved Gunnar to the middle of the bed between them so he could see his son. "I love you Eric but if there is something you are keeping from me that affects us….."

He cut her off. "Look, I understand our agreement completely but right now I need to figure out some things and I will. When I do I will share it with you alright?"

She looked him in the eye, hesitated then nodded. "Ok."

Eric rubbed his sons belly. "How is my little vampire?" He leaned over and kissed him. "Is he leaving marks?" Eric looked up at his wife, she nodded to him. He stood, took the baby to the bed and put him in it, his little eyes were already closed. He came to stand next to her and pulled his tank top off of her. "Lie back my love." She did as he asked, his naked body straddled hers. His big hands took a breast in each hand. "Are they sore as well?"

"Yes." She panted to him, her heartbeat went up considerably.

Eric's fangs popped down, he leaned over her and his tongue gently licked her breasts. She could feel his saliva healing the little puncture marks his son just made, her eyes closed. "You are lovely Sookie, you make me so hard."

She giggled quietly. "Sweetie, we cant."

He bit his finger and gently inserted inside her. "Are you sore?" She shook her head no. He gentle moved his finger inside her. "You are healed Sookie, you were healed yesterday." His blood had done the job the first time but he repeated the process twice just to make her feel better, this time was just the same.

"I don't know Eric. We waited weeks with the other kids." She looked up concerned.

"I will not force you my love. If you do not feel comfortable we can wait." He kissed her shoulder and started to move off her.

She grabbed his arms. "Give me blood first ok? If I have any issues it will fix it right?" He nodded to her, bit his wrist and held it to her to take, her hand pulled it to her face. She looked at him while she drank, her body gently moving as his blood was building her up, her eyes closed and she began to climax. She whispered his name against his arm.

"There's my beauty." He kissed her on the lips, his fangs puncturing her soft skin of the inside of her lip. He licked her blood as he did it. He kissed her shoulder, her collar bone, her breasts, her stomach, her pelvis, her curls all while moving down her body. When he got to her center he closed his eyes. "I love you Sookie." She whimpered as his finger went to her clit and began stroking it softly.

"Oh, Eric, how do you always make me feel this way?" She looked down on her husband who smirked as he worked her nub.

He shook his head. "No, I am the lucky one my wife." His tongue moved to her center and took the place of his finger, within minutes she was building.

Sookie gasped. "Wait! Eric, the baby."

"He is asleep Sookie, he is fine." Eric went back to what he was doing.

"No! I mean, he can hear us." Sookie tried to move up.

Eric laughed. "He is a baby Sookie, he is asleep, why are you upsetting yourself with this?"

She looked at him with a dirty look. "We have never had sex with our kids in the room before that's why."

"I will take him to the nursery if you wish." He moved and she stopped him.

She was caught between a rock and a hard place, almost literally. She nodded, he got up, picked up Gunnar and was gone in a flash and came back with the monitor in hand. "Thank you sweetie."

Her husband looked at her with a grin. "Do you wish me to continue or are you going to contemplate this a while?"

She stuck her tongue out. "Fine but you better be quiet."

He stifled a laugh. "It is you my little vixen who is the screamer."

Sookie sat up appalled. "I am not!" She giggled. "Ok, maybe I am." She was thinking about something for a moment, she leaned over the bed and into the drawer pulling out the tube of lubricant. Her face was one big grin.

"As you wish my Queen." He flipped her around so quick she was dizzy, he pulled her ass to him, opened the top of the lube, poured it on her rear entrance, then some on his palm. He rubbed the lube on gracious plenty. He set the bottle down, took his hands to her hips and pulled her to him. He thrust into her quickly, she put her face on the pillow to stifle her cries that quickly turned to moans as her rode her hard and quick. He leaned over slightly, whispering to her. "Do you want me Sookie?" Her head bounced up and down. "Tell me."

He needed the words and she would give them to him. "I need you so badly Eric, I wish you knew, uh, what you did to me. Yes, right there Eric, oh God."

Eric smiled down on her. His hand rubbed a spot on her full ass and he pulled back and smacked her lightly making her jerk. "Do you like that lover?"

"Oh yeah sweetie, I love everything you do to me. Fuck me Eric." She grunted.

His hands gripped her hips tighter, his cock delved deeper inside her making her cry out against the pillow again. "Do you wish I was someone else Sookie?"

Her head rocked back and forth. "Never! I only want you Eric, only you forever. I am yours Eric, only yours." Her hips met every thrust, she was pumping him just as hard as he was her.

"Are you sure Sookie? Stephen maybe or that little prick gardener Patrick? Would you want them inside you my love?" He was in an evil mood, he wanted to play with her. Sookie could feel the blood lust of her husband, why she had no idea.

"No! Only you Eric, I only want your cock in me Eric." She moaned again. "Oh, Eric make me come, hurry."

He smiled, he knew her fae blood made her incredibly attractive and vice versa but he wanted to hear it with his own ears she only wanted him. "Tell me!"

"I only want you Eric, I love you so much! Don't you know that? Only you will ever touch me, I promise." She leaned into the pillow again, her eyes were welling, she was filling with emotion from the bond, her build up was beginning and she felt like her heart would explode.

His hips were relentless. "I love only you Sookie, I have never loved anyone until you. Do you know that? Can you feel that?" His head went back, he was so close.

"Yes, Eric, oh yes!" She began to pant, she held onto the pillow and pulled it up to her face, her orgasm started and began to fall forward. Eric caught her, pushed into her hard a few times and followed her, calling out her name. When he filled her, he pulled her down with him as he rolled over onto the bed.

"Are you alright?" He kissed her lips as he waited for her to calm back down.

She nodded. "After that, definitely." She grinned and kissed him back. "You didn't take any blood Eric."

"I do not want to over due it with the baby taking from you as well." He rubbed her back.

"Please Eric." Her eyes looked up at him pleading.

He smiled and his fangs popped again. She moved her hair so he could get to her neck. "No." He leaned down, pulled her leg up and licked the inside of her thigh. She moaned as she felt his cool tongue against her warm skin. He bit down hard, pulling her skin and blood in the same sequence. She cried out, her body jerking up under him, she was about to come again, he smiled as the blood did the same to him. He closed his eyes and savored the taste as it brought him to orgasm again, his wife calling to him as she did too. When he was done drinking he closed the wound and laid back down next to her. "Thank you wife." He saw the look on her face, he got up and went to bring the baby back into the room.

"Thank you sweetie." She leaned over and kissed him. He put the baby between them on the bed. Laughing he pulled the covers up them. "Sleep now my wife. My son will be up soon." She yawned and let him pull her to him, she was asleep in minutes. He waited until she was sleep, he watched them both for a while then closed his eyes to sleep.
