Chapter 61
It was about three a.m., Sookie heard the baby whimper, her eyes opened, her kids were sound asleep next to her, Eric next to them. She rolled over, she felt Eric move and he was next to the crib, picking the baby up to hand to her. "Here lover, feed my son." Gently he handed Gunnar to her, she adjusted him on her breast and he began to eat.
Smiling she whispered. "Thank you sweetie, go back to sleep."
She watched her husband shake his head. "No, I would rather watch you." He sat next to her in the bed, his hand lightly touching her face, moving the hair from her eyes. Leaning over he kissed the baby on the head then moved to kiss her on the lips. "He refuses to allow you to get much sleep does he not?"
Giggling softly she looked up at her husband. "He is a newborn Eric, it was worse with the twins remember?" She looked over to her babies who didn't get to nurse long because she had gotten pregnant with a baby they eventually lost. The memory made her sad.
"No, we will have no sad thoughts." His hand went under her chin to pull up to look her in the eyes..
Nodding she cleared her thoughts, she needed to be here, in the moment with her family. Granted the night was a complete disaster, part of her wanted to still be upset about what her great grandfather had tried to do. It was over and she needed to move on. This was what was important to her, these kids, her husband, nothing else mattered. "Your right."
When the baby was done Eric took him from her, he had fallen back to sleep. He moved to the dresser, got a diaper and moved the sleepy baby to the bed to change him. She smiled watching her big bad vampire husband changing the diaper of their little newborn baby. Gunnar was trying to sleep, his body stretching from the motion of being undressed and his bottom being changed. Sookie heard him whimper, Eric softly spoke to him in Swedish to reassure his son, the words she now recognized. He was telling the baby he loved him. Her heart swelled, it felt like it would explode with love for her husband. He turned to look at her while he fastened the diaper, he smiled at her then turned back to finish what he was doing. Her eyes never left him, she saw him perfectly in the dark, his blonde hair was in his face, the shirt he wore accenting his muscled arms and chest. The shorts he wore were a basketball type, they were long and loose, his long muscular legs attached to that gorgeous ass. Gulping she tried to calm herself with little luck, she wanted him so badly. "Ugh." She whispered to herself.
She watched her husband swagger back to the crib and put the baby in it. He went to her, held his hand out for her. She stood up, looked him in the face and he smiled down at her. His face went to her ear. "Put your protection light around my children Sookie."
Her eyes got big and her heart sped up. She looked at him, then the kids, then back to him. His fangs were down and he had the look in his eye. "Eric?"
Eric nodded his head to reassure her. Her hands came up, her light engulfing her children, the bright blue light covered each sleeping child. He pulled her up to him, kissed her and took her to the bathroom. Silently he closed the door, never turning on the lights he sat her on the big sink vanity. "I want you to badly Sookie. Will you let me love you?"
"Sweetie, the babies are sleeping, I don't want them to hear us." She shook her head.
"Can you be silent? I know I can." He kissed her neck, oh it felt good she thought.
"Eric?" She whispered to him.
"Yes my love?" His eyes went to hers.
"I need you so much." Eric's lips were on her like a starving animal, he was rough, claiming, demanding. His fangs were puncturing her skin, she didn't care and she didn't make a sound other than the breathing she did. Their hands were everywhere on each other, from their hair to their middles, neither of them making one sound. When the make out session was all they could stand Eric pulled her off the sink, turned her around and leaned her over it. Sookie gasped in anticipation of what would come next, she felt Eric pull her nightgown up over her backside, he ran his hands over her back and down again. She felt him release himself from his shorts and gently he entered her center. She bit her lip to stay quiet.
His body thrust into hers, gracious plenty stretching her insides. He pushed into her a couple times gently, her body responding to him. He leaned to whisper into her ear. "Am I hurting you?" She shook her head hard no. She wanted to cry out as he rocked his hips in to her, she bit the inside of her mouth as the sensation of him inside her felt so amazing, she whimpered. "Shush my love." His hands on her hips, he gripped her and began to gently push into her over and over. She felt him, the bond was flowing, his love for her was bouncing all over it, his lust, his want, his need to claim her. He never wavered, his pace was relentless, she held on to the sink as she and her husband's bodies pushed each other. Sookie could feel him, he was so close but he was fighting it, she leaned back, her arms touching his gorgeous ass, she turned to watch his eyes close.
Sookie wanted to slow it down, she pushed up and disconnected them, he grasped her hips harder and she shook her head. "Slow sweetie." Her husband chuckled, he did as she asked, he slowed down, the rhythm of it was mind blowing. It was like each time he moved in her sent electric currents through her body their connection was so strong. Eric pulled her up, his arm wrapped around her middle, the other to her breast, his tongue was licking the side of her face and neck. The fangs penetrated her skin, she bit her lip to stay quiet, she wanted to cry out so badly.
Eric pulled the wound, he was drinking greedily, she could feel her blood dripping down her neck, his tongue quickly gathering it up. He pulled his fangs out, licked her puncture marks then his mouth went to her ear, his pace never slowing. His voice she barely heard as he spoke to her. "You are mine Sookie. No one will ever take you from me. I promise my love."
She knew he was talking to himself as much as he was her. She smiled in the dark, her body was so close, she couldn't take much more. She pushed down on him, his cock so hard inside her. Eric began to tense behind her, she pulled his arm up to her mouth and she bite him with all of her strength opening up his wrist. That was all it took, his body jerked, his grip on her tightened as he began to release inside her. As she pulled his blood her orgasm began, she closed her eyes and whimpered against his wound not letting go. When they recovered Eric turned her to him, he wrapped his arms around her and held her tight. She could feel his insecurity, his fear, his regret. It was heart wrenching.
She leaned over and turned the light on. "Sweetie, what's wrong?"
His face was full of blood tears. "I could have lost you Sookie. The council were going to rule whether or not our bond was legitimate. They could have taken you away from me." Sookie looked him in the eye, he really had been worried about this.
"Never. I don't care what anyone would have done or said. I will never leave you. I will die first." She said almost in a whisper.
"You do not understand, Brigant wanted you to go to Fairy before the trial, he asked for a special judgment. They would have listened to his lies, he said I did not give him enough time to consider our bonding. They would have sided with him." He looked down on her.
"What?" She looked up at him.
"I rushed it, I knew I did. I wanted you like I have never wanted anyone in my life. I did not have anything to do with de Castro or Madden, but I could have done more, took you away or made other arrangements. I chose not to, I had to have you in my life. You were more important to me than anything." His tears streaked his beautiful face.
She smiled up at him. "I let you Eric. I wanted you just as much as you wanted me. Yea, I fought it at first. But knowing you loved me, it was amazing. That you wanted me, that you wanted to build a life with me, that was enough for me. I might have been confused and scared but I wouldn't change it Eric, I would never let the council separate us. I would never go without a fight."
"When Pam came to me the other night I never felt more helpless. I had no idea how I was going to fix this, I could not tell you because you would have known that I had no answer on how to correct it. Yes, I knew I needed to kill him to finish it but he would never come to me." He pulled her closer.
"He came to me instead. Its over Eric, don't worry, its over." She kissed him. "I am going to ask Xavier to close Fairy so we never have this issue again."
Eric looked down on her and nodded. "That may be best."
Sookie hopped up on the sink and pulled his face to hers. She licked the tears off his face. "I love you Eric. You are mine and I will never let you go. I promise."
His eyes looked deep into hers and he smiled. "I am the luckiest vampire in the world."
"Yep, you are. Now, get dressed, we need to get back to the babies." She stood up, grabbed a wash cloth and dampened it. Her hand went to his face to wipe it clean, smiling up at him she took his hand and lead him back to the bedroom. All the kids were exactly where they left them, sleeping like little angels. She put her hand over her heart and smiled.
Eric watched his wife, he felt her in the bond, the love of a mother and her children was so powerful it almost made him dizzy. This woman loved her children fiercely, he could feel her love for him. He watched her as she waved her hand over her children, their protection light disappearing. She climbed back in the bed, pulled Gunnar's bed closer and readjusted her pillows.
He whispered. "I love you."
She smiled and spoke to him through their minds. 'I love you too Eric. More than you will ever know.' Sookie closed her eyes and fell fast asleep. Eric smiled and did the same.
Eric woke and the bed was empty, he sat up on his elbow, Gunnar was gone too. He didn't care much for the feeling. His children being so close had made him realize how much he liked them there. Sitting up, he got up and went to get ready to find his family.
Sookie had them at the dining room table. Johan and Enar were laughing about something and Sookie was kissing the side of Johan's face. "Baby, you really do make mommy laugh. Now, eat your breakfast." Johan grabbed his sausage and started to ear.
Eric smiled as he walked in. "Well, is this not the most beautiful family in all the world?"
All the blue eyes in the room turned to him. "Morning sweetie." The kids followed suit and said good morning to their father.
Erika had her hands up. She wanted some daddy time. "Daddy." Her lip was pouting.
"Erika, eat then you can hug daddy." Sookie sat with Gunnar in her arms in her chair.
Eric looked at his daughter then quickly took her out of the chair throwing her up in the air. "You heard your mother, breakfast time Princess. Daddy will be home all day to spend with you." He put her back in her chair not before she got a smacking kiss on the lips.
"Why don't you have a blood then go get some work done Eric. The kids and I were just going to go out and play in the yard for awhile." Sookie bit into her toast.
Walking to Johan he kissed him on the top of the head, then he moved to Enar and he kissed him on the side of the face. He sat next to her, pulled her close to kiss, then leaned to kiss Gunnar. "No, I am not working today. I have my phone on, if something comes up I will handle it. Today I plan on spending the entire day playing with my children."
"I am sure you have things to take care of Eric, after last night." She was nodding toward the foyer.
He laughed. "Yes, I understand what you are trying to tell me Sookie. Do not worry, I have this under control."
She looked at him curiously. "Alright."
Eric watched his family eat their breakfast. Sookie took care of each child before they even needed it, she would move a cup closer to one so they could reach it better, adjust food on their tray before the next bit on another. He smiled at his wife, she was so wonderful. Slowly he sipped his True Blood while they ate, when they were done he helped her get their faces and hands wiped, he took Johan out of his chair first, then the twins. Enar he took out last. "Warrior, you have been very quiet today, how are you this morning my son?" Eric kissed his son's neck.
"Fine daddy." Enar's arms tucked between his body and his father's. He laid his head on Eric's shoulder.
Sookie was coming out of the kitchen with Gunnar. "Baby, what's wrong?" She looked at her son, she knew something was going on.
Enar shook his head and then laid it back on Eric's shoulder. "I will take them out side." Eric looked at her deep in the eye, she nodded to him. "Come Troops, lets go and play."
She watched her family stride out of the room, she picked up another dish when she heard the glass door open and then close. "I will take care of this Sookie, go play with the kids." Trish was standing behind her.
"Ok, thanks Trish. Can we have some hamburgers for lunch? Ask Sergio is he will make them on the BBQ grill with some macaroni salad and baked beans. That is Enar's favorite." Sookie looked in the direction her family had gone.
Trish smiled. "Of course, we will take care of it. I bet that water is nice, that pool has the best state of the art heater on it. I thought Eric was crazy but if you want to use it in the early spring or fall it will be warm."
Sookie nodded. "I will be outside." Gunnar was waking. His blue eyes opening and he let out a big yawn. When she went out the door Erika was in her spot, in the sand box and Johan was running around kicking his ball. Eric had Enar and was sitting on the chair speaking to him quietly. "You two ok?"
"Yes, I believe he is sleepy." Eric looked up at her. He moved over so she could sit next to him. Eric had his finger in Enar's mouth.
"Why don't I take him up so he can sleep?" Sookie looked over at her son.
Eric shook his head. "Leave him Sookie, he will be alright. Enjoy the sunshine."
Sookie could see the guards, they were walking the parameter, some were stationed at different points around the house. "I need to take Gunnar in to feed him."
His hand stopped her. "They will not pay any attention. Feed my son lover, he is hungry."
Sookie opened her dress and brought her son up to feed. She had an odd feeling, she just couldn't put her finger on it. Eric looked at her out of the corner of his eye a few times while she fed Gunnar.
"Let's do a BBQ for lunch, I asked Sergio to make burgers and baked beans Enar." His little head came up and he looked at her. He nodded and laid his head back on Eric's shoulder. They spent about an hour outside before Eric took them into the house, the sun was warming up and he didn't want them to get too warm since they were going to swim later and BBQ for lunch.
Eric took the kids, including Gunnar and told Sookie he was taking them to the play room. "You go take care of your Queen duties, I will take care of my children."
"Eric, I can help." She looked at the kids as they went to their play room.
"No, you need to see Amelia. Go." He kissed her and walked away from her.
She gave up and walked to her office. "Hey Amelia." Her friend was sitting at her desk.
"Hey Sook! Are you here to go through your calendar?" Amelia looked up from her lap top.
"Husband kicked me out, told me to do some work." She was pouting.
"Why are you upset?" Amelia giggled.
She shrugged her shoulder. "I wanted to play with the kids I guess. I suppose he likes having private time with them too, you know?"
Amelia grinned. "I know, I find Alcide on the floor of the nursery with Adam, I thought he was at work and here he would sneak in the house and take him out of the crib and sit in the floor and play."
Sookie giggled at the thought of the big Were doing that. "He is sweet isn't he?"
"Oh, yeah! I really lucked out when I met him. He is amazing." Amelia's eyes twinkled with love for her husband.
"I am sure you heard what happened last night?" Sookie looked around the room.
"Yes I did. I gave Alcide a tongue lashing. What is the matter with him and Eric?" Amelia looked mad.
"I was mad at first but this was big. I could feel how upset Eric was over it. I don't know what happened with Niall. Are things that desperate in Fairy he had to resort to that? Why didn't he just ask me to help if that is what he needed?" Sookie still couldn't work it out, it just didn't make sense.
"Alcide said he had never heard of a blood bond being severed, he didn't even know if it was possible so for Niall to suggest it there must have been something big going on in Fairy." Amelia looked concerned.
"I thought the same, but there was something Eric was really concerned about. I don't know why the supe community just wont leave us alone. I don't go knocking on their doors for things, I would prefer if they just go back to whatever they were doing before they met me." She was frustrated with the whole situation.
Amelia smiled and handed her a pile of mail. "Nice try my friend."
"What is all this?" Sookie looked down on at the items in her hand.
Amelia turned her lap top around to show a calendar. "Eric told me to help you go through the invitations, appearances, etc. That way we can coordinate with him to see what you want to go to."
She set them down. "None of them."
"Sookie." Amelia gave her a warning look.
"Why? I don't want to go. If I mingle with them then they expect more from us." Sookie growled.
"He came in here yesterday and gave me the 'She is Queen and must see her subjects' speech. Pick some items you want to go to. You have Texas in a month. That is a start." Amelia crossed her arms.
"Texas? I didn't get back with Governor Barnes yet." She was shocked.
"No, but Eric did, the day after Gunnar was born. Now read." Amelia pointed.
Sookie did, reluctantly. She went through the mail and once she did she picked a few things that sounded like good causes or things she thought Eric wanted to go to. "I have been selfish haven't I?" She looked up at Amelia.
Her friend tilted her head. "Why would you say that?"
"Because Eric would have gone to these things if it weren't for me not wanting to go, right?" Sookie felt guilty.
She nodded. "Probably."
Sookie sighed. "Ok, baby steps. I just am not ready to take my kids around them. I want them here where I can protect them. It is such a big deal anytime we have to go somewhere. I would rather just stay home."
Amelia handed her a couple invitations. "Look these over."
"Why?" Sookie looked at them.
"Eric ear marked them. I think those are some he wants you to consider."
She handed them back. "Put them on the calendar." Sookie gave in.
"You've got three weeks before the first event. You have plenty of time to work up your courage." Amelia smiled at her friend and then they tackled dozens of items, things that needed her signature, emails, phone messages, she returned requests for advice and her telepathy which she denied. She looked at the clock. "Amelia! It is almost 1:30!" Sookie stood up.
"Wow, time flies when your twisting a Queens arm." Smiling Amelia logged off the computer.
"Funny. We are having a BBQ, why don't you go home and get Adam." Sookie walked toward the door.
"Thanks but I think I am going home and taking a nap with my little boy. Go enjoy your family Sookie, they are only little once." Amelia grabbed her lap top bag and purse.
Sookie smiled and thanked her. She rushed down the stairs to find her husband and kids out back, Eric was setting them at the table outside with the food that was on the table. He turned when she came out. "I was just about to come get you." Eric smiled brightly.
"Oh, thanks sweetie. Kids ok?" She looked around and took a fussing Gunnar.
"Yes, I think my son is ready for his mother." Eric grinned as she sat and put him on her breast.
"This smells great. I didn't realize how late it was." She looked around and smiled at her kids who were eating the pieces of cheeseburger Trish cut into tiny pieces for them to handle. Enar had his fingers in his baked beans picking up individual pieces.
"Yes, after we eat we can all take a nap together." Eric nodded to her.
"A nap sounds great. I am tired of all that arm twisting I got from my husband." She narrowed her eyes at him.
He looked at her unsure what she was talking about. "Pardon me?"
Sookie looked him in the eye. "The events you want to us to go to."
"My love, we have put things off, you had a difficult pregnancy with the twins, then our daughter and then Gunnar. He is here now so we can make some plans to see those who wish to honor us or pay fealty to us. Some are parties which those of power wish to introduce us to their citizens. We need to do some of these things as King and Queen." He handed Erika her cup.
"Fine, but I am not going to showcase my kids just so the supe community can look at them. I wont put them in risk, I hate that they even get to lay eyes on them." Sookie sneered.
Eric growled. "My children are Prince's and a Princess. We must allow those who have sworn loyalty to me access to my children. I know you do not understand this but it is important. Our children will rule this world and it is only right we begin acclimating them to this world while they are little. They take the lead from us and if you teach them they should hide instead of being proud of who they are then that is how they will lead their lives."
She knew he was right but her fear wasn't any less. "I am just worried about their security Eric. You can't blame me for wanting to keep them safe."
He nodded. "I do understand but we have the best security money can buy Sookie. We will be well protected."
The kids finished their lunch, Trish told them to go away, she would take care of cleaning it up and Eric looked at her. "Our room?"
"If that is alright with you." She smiled at him. He grabbed the twin under his arms and told Johan to move it to mommy and daddy's room. Johan was gone in a flash and the twins giggled.
"Alright Troops, in the bed, lets go." He helped them get tucked in and then took Gunnar from Sookie. "You too wife, in."
She put her hands up. "Let me change first into something more comfortable." She took out a Fangtasia t-shirt and shorts then took them to the bathroom to change. They were all in the bed when she came out.
Eric leaned down to his kids, kissed them and looked at Sookie. "When we wake, we will suit up and go to the pool and swim. What do you think of that?" The kids all cheered and laughed. Sookie smiled at him. "What is it lover?"
She leaned over and kissed him. "You are too much."
He looked like he didn't know what she meant, shrugged his shoulders and laid back. "Eyes closed." They kids closed their eyes. "Commence sleeping." Sookie giggled, he spoke to them like there little soldiers, it was cute. He smiled at them, they were such good children he thought to himself.
"Sleep tight babies, mommy loves you. Daddy too." She closed her eyes and was asleep in minutes.
Eric came down the stairs, he heard his wife before he saw her. "I will not tolerate this, my families security is too important. What Gary says goes. I stand behind his decision completely." He saw her turn to Gary. "Escort him off the property." Eric saw her eyes were glowing, rushing to where she stood he came up next to her.
Eric looked at the group. "What is going on here?" He saw Gary standing looking very angry, Sookie was enraged and the Were guard Tom was looking at the floor.
"I am sorry your Majesty, I feel asleep at my post." The Were at least was honest.
Eric's fangs came down. "Gary? Is this true?"
"Yes King, it is." Gary looked at Eric apologetically.
Eric really wanted to rip the Were's head off but he reigned it in. "Do as my wife instructed." Gary nodded to the Were and they quickly left.
Sookie thought Eric would have more to say on the subject. She looked up at Eric. "Your ok with my decision?"
"Of course, you made a good call and I respect your decisions Sookie, especially where our family is concerned. You were right in letting Gary handle it." He looked around. "Now, where are my children? I believe we are going swimming."
Sookie grinned. "Trish is watching them in the living room, go tell your kids they can go swimming. They will be so excited."
Eric walked toward the living room, his children were in various spots. "Troops, lets go swimming."
All the blue eyes turned to look at him, they began running and yelling with excitement. Sookie laughed at their enthusiasm. "Ok, hold on all. We got to get you changed into your suits then daddy and I can take you out."
Eric had the twins under his arms and Johan followed, they raced up the stairs at vampire speed. They were back in minutes. Eric stood in front of her with three children in bathing suits. "Lover, you need to put on your bikini now." His fangs came down.
"I don't think so. I will sit out and watch." She moved to go get Gunnar.
"No, you will put your suit on, bring Gunnar with us. He will need to learn to swim too. Now Sookie." He gave her the 'Do not cross me, I am vampire' look. "Be sure to put a bikini on my wife."
She giggled. "Ok, I am going." Sookie went up the stairs and picked the most modest bikini she had, which wasn't saying too much she thought. She looked at her self in the mirror, her figure wasn't too bad, she was still curvy in the hips, her breasts were still huge with breast milk and her tummy was getting flatter. Grabbing her wrap she went downstairs, Eric and the kids were outside, her husband had taken the portable crib out and put it in the shade near the door. She could see him lathering sunscreen on their kids.
Eric stood, his fangs came down again. He looked her up and down then walked to her, still holding the bottle of lotion. "My love, you astound me at how beautiful you are." He leaned down and kissed her passionately until she finally pushed him away.
"Thanks sweetie, tell it to my thighs." She giggled and tried to walk away.
He caught her by the arm. "Sookie." Eric looked her deep in her eyes. "I have seen beautiful woman in my life, you make them look insignificant. I wish you could see what I see when I look at you. You are stunning, your thighs, your breasts, your face, all of you is beautiful my bride." He kissed her quickly and turned to go to the children who were waiting patiently on the side of the pool. "Alright, mommy will take Erika and I will take my sons. Ready?"
Sookie smiled and went to get her daughter. They got into the pool, Eric swam the boys around the pool quickly then took them back to the shallow end. He began teaching them to swim. Sookie took her daughter to the middle of the pool, Erika's face with ear to ear smiling. "You like the water baby?"
"Yes mommy! Fun!" Erika was a water baby, she loved water, bath time was one of her favorite things.
They spent about two hours playing and learning to swim. Johan did great, he was swimming with Eric close behind him. Enar was a little bit more skittish. "Sookie, let her try." Eric looked over to Sookie and nodded. Sookie looked scared to death. "Stay close to her, watch what my Princess can do." Eric grinned at his daughter.
Sookie looked at Erika. "Baby, are you ready for mommy to let you go? Do you want to try it?"
Erika was splashing like crazy and kicking her feet like Sookie had taught her. "Yes mommy, swim!" Sookie looked at Eric who nodded again. Reluctantly Sookie let her go, her hands right next to her daughter. Erika's hands and feet like crazy, Sookie watched her daughter doggie paddle and she was staying a float.
Eric whistled. "Look at my Princess! Your doing wonderful little one. Keep going!" She did, her little hands and legs kept going, Sookie following right behind her waiting for her to get tired, she didn't.
Sookie laughed. "My little fish, it is time for us to go in now." Sookie caught up to her pulling her close. She kissed her on the face and pat her back. "That was great baby."
Eric brought the boys to the middle of the pool where his girls were. He leaned over and kissed Erika. "Didn't your sister do wonderful my sons?"
Johan was clapping and Enar grabbed his sisters hand and smiled. "You did great Erika!" Johan grinned as he spoke to his baby sister.
She curled up against Sookie embarrassed. Eric got close to her face. "You have nothing to be embarrassed about my darling, you are daddy's girl, you can do anything." Erika pulled up and kissed Eric on the nose.
Sookie's heart swelled. "I need to get out family, I need to feed Gunnar. It is almost dinner time too."
"I will take the children in and get them ready for bed and to get their dinner started. Take care Gunnar my love." They all got of the water, Eric took the kids inside to get cleaned up.
Sookie wrapped in a towel and went to pick up Gunnar, he had only spent a little while in the pool before he got tired and they put back into the crib. His little eyes were opening. "Hey my little doll, are you ready for your dinner?" She picked him up and took him the house.
Gary was coming in the room. "It looks like you guys had fun in the pool."
"Yeah, it was great." Sookie smiled.
"Let me grab the babies crib before I take my check of the property." He began to walk away.
"Gary?" He turned to look at her. "Nice job with the Were earlier. I appreciate your honesty and not letting something so important slide."
He looked at her in all seriousness. "Those kids might be magical and all, but they still need the proper protection. If my men aren't doing the job they are paid to do or their heart isn't in it, they need to go. No excuses."
She smiled at him, Eric made a wise decision hiring this one full time she thought. "Well, I appreciate it anyway. My kids safety is priority one in my book." He nodded and went to get the crib brining it and setting it in its normal spot. He smiled and left her alone. "Time for dinner my baby." She pulled her bikini top down and Gunnar eagerly grabbed a hold and began to suckle.
Sookie watched as his little eyes got heavy. He was such a good baby and looked so much like Eric. Gunnar wasn't the cookie cutter version of Eric like Johan was, just small things that in the big picture reminded her of her handsome husband. Eric walked in with a True Blood. "Trish kicked me out. She said she would take care of the children and their dinner, she insisted I come check on you." He watched her gently rub Gunnar's curly hair and he sat next to her. "How is he doing?"
"Our son is doing just fine. Aren't you baby?" Sookie looked down on the baby whose eyes opened wide at the sound of Eric's voice. "Talk to him sweetie, he is excited you're here."
Eric leaned over and kissed the babies nose, he let go of Sookie's breast and smiled. "Hello my son, how are you? I see you have the best seat in the house, do you not? I love you Gunnar. Daddy loves you very much." Eric took his sons hand and pulled it to his mouth to kiss. Gunnar giggled.
Sookie laughed, so did Eric. "Oh, another ones got their daddy wrapped around their finger."
Eric's head went back with laughter. "Yes, if that is my punishment to be enamored by my children and my wife, I will gladly take whatever sentence I must." He leaned in and kissed Sookie, his fangs were down. "Tomorrow I would like you take have Lily watch the baby a couple hours for us."
She began to protest. "Eric, I cant leave him, he is breast feeding." Sookie pulled Gunnar closer to her, the fear of something happening to him flaring.
"We are not leaving my love. I want alone time with my wife. I do not care if it is five minutes or two hours. I just need to be inside you, making love to you." His lips went to the top of her breast that was exposed. He nipped.
"Eric! Gunnar is trying to eat." She giggled and pulled back.
He took her chin in his hand. "And so am I my wife. I need to taste you, every part of you. Your lips, your skins, your clit. I need to have my tongue on and in you."
Sookie began to pant, her center was wet and she shifted in her seat uncomfortably. He was making her so hot and there was no release in sight. "Eric, don't."
"Don't what?" His face was wicked.
"Talk like that. We have to take care of the kids, I am feeding the baby. We have things to do." She closed her eyes to try and make the images of him fucking her out of mind.
"You can try to stop the thoughts my love but I smell you, I sense you, I feel you. I know you want me to stick my finger in you right this moment." He growled as his hand rubbed her thigh.
"Stop Eric. We cant." She couldn't open her eyes, if she did she would jump him. She concentrated on the baby feeding from her.
"I will put my fangs right about here." He pulled her legs open and ran his fingers on the inside of her inner thigh. "Would you like that?"
His wife opened her eyes, they were glowing. When she spoke she whispered to him. "Oh, God yes."
Gary cleared his throat breaking the trance Eric had on her. "Excuse me, Eric, there is a package that just came for you. It is marked urgent."
"Thank you Gary." Eric didn't take his eyes off of her. He watched as his wife's heartbeat had peaked and now was trying to calm down, the glow of light in her eyes dimming. He stood and went to the guard taking the envelope from him.
Sookie didn't turn around, she was trying to calm herself still and the baby was almost done with eating. When Gunnar was asleep she stood, cradling him. Sookie spoke to Eric. "I am taking the baby up to get changed. Can you check on the kids for me, please?"
Eric chuckled. "Of course my wife. Remembered what I said. Speak to Lily, I do not care if it is first thing tomorrow or midnight. I want two hours alone, just you and I. Speak to her, do not forget Sookie."
Sookie didn't turn around, she just walked up the stairs. She could hear Eric laughing, he knew what he had done, he had made it impossible for her to do anything but arrange it. Her need for her husband was incredible. When she went to the nursery she shook her head and cleared it. She took the baby to the bathroom, washed the chlorine out of his hair and off his body. He got a fresh diaper and his pajamas. This was the first pair she had put on him, she had him in onesie up till today. He seemed to be getting bigger every day. Gunnar never woke as she changed him. Sookie walked to her bedroom, put him in the bassinette and changed.
The knock on the door had her turning. "Come in."
"Mommy, do you want to watch a movie up here or in the living room?" Johan asked her.
"Did daddy send you up here?" He nodded and smiled. "You and daddy choose ok?" Johan took off like a rocket again. She just shook her head, sat down at the vanity and combed her hair.
"We have chosen here. Will that be alright lover?" Eric and the children stood in the doorway. He had a tray of drinks and snacks.
She laughed at them. "That's just fine husband." Her kids were all in their pajamas, they had a bath and were waiting for their father to help them in the bed, he lifted the twins and gently dropped them making them bounce and giggle. Johan levitated himself up and on the bed. "Nice Johan!" Sookie smiled at her son. The twins clapped, Eric looked proud as ever.
They watched one full movie, 'Bolt' then started to watch a second but the kids started yawning. "Alright my Troops, close your eyes, we had a adventurous day, lets get some sleep." Eric leaned over and kissed all three of the kids. They wiggled and made some noise before he looked down at them. Erika giggled and covered her face. "Sleep my angels, mommy is tired and needs to sleep too. Eyes closed." They did and Eric smiled at Sookie. "You too my love. Give me the baby, I would like to spend a bit of time with him this evening while you sleep."
Sookie looked down on her sleeping baby, her little vampire. Something about this baby made her not want to turn him over to anyone. She reluctantly handed him to Eric. "Put him next to me before you go sleep Eric. I will worry if he isn't close."
Eric narrowed his eyes. "Sookie, are you still worrying something will happen to our son?"
She shook her head. "I don't know what it is, maybe it was all the fear from the images of him before he was even conceived. I am just really worried about him."
Eric looked at her concerned. "Do you sense something? Does he seem ill?"
"No, nothing like that Eric. I just don't feel the magic in him like the other kids. I know they have my powers, I have worked with them to protect themselves. Even Johan could put his light around himself when he was a baby. Gunnar can't." She looked at her youngest son, she was really concerned.
"Sookie, we do not know if he can or not. He may have inherited some of your powers." Eric looked down at his son.
Shaking her head she looked Eric in the eye. "He doesn't have them, I am telling you. I can feel him, he is what the doctor said, he is a vampire. That's it."
"We will teach him to protect himself Sookie. Just because he is all vampire does not mean he has no powers. I can fly, he may have something extra he got from you." Eric looked at his son.
Sookie nodded and moved down under the covers. "I love you Eric." She waved her hand, put her protective light on her kids and closed her eyes.
He smiled at her. "I love you too my darling, all of you. Good night."
When he was sure she was asleep, he got up, put the pillows in his place so the children wouldn't fall and got out of the bed. He grabbed his phone and went to the office to work.
Nigel was sitting in the chair waiting for him. "This is our new vampire I assume Master."
Eric laughed. "Yes, you have assumed correctly. Would you like to hold him?"
Nigel looked at Eric curiously. "I suppose." Eric handed him the baby, he wanted to gauge Nigel's reaction to the baby. Nigel held him carefully, as if he would break him. His nose began to wiggle. "He smells like you and like vampire. Gunnar, you have your own scent but you smell much like your father." Nigel looked up at Eric who was grinning. "This is incredible Eric. You have reproduced a vampire without turning one."
Eric nodded. "Yes, I have a full vampire child. Do not misunderstand me, I adore my children, all of them, but to have a vampire child with no Fae traits, it floors me."
"This concerns me Eric. If it gets out that Sookie can reproduce a child, a vampire child other's will want her for that purpose." Nigel looked down on Gunnar.
"There is no guarantee that another child would be vampire. It was luck of the draw. Each child is different and all future children will be as well." Eric moved to take Gunnar from Nigel, he cradled him tight.
Eric's assassin vampire stood. "They do not think rationally about things like this Eric, you know that. You saw the trouble this child caused before he was even born."
Eric's fangs came down. "Brigant caused that issue, not my son."
"I am aware of that, just be cautious where this child is concerned, alright?" Nigel sat back down.
Eric moved around the desk and sat. "I assume you heard about Brigant." Nigel nodded. "I would like you to focus on the FoTS members now. Since Sookie will ask to have Fairy closed permanently, I believe it is best that we concentrate on that. Of course there are other arenas we will have to deal with, we will take them as they appear."
"As you wish Eric." Nigel stood again. "I will take care of it." He walked toward the door. "I will speak with you later."
Eric nodded to him. He logged on his computer, checked his emails and messages. "See my son, daddy is working from home so that we may get to know each other better. I will one day teach you to help me run our companies and businesses. I am sure you will do wonderfully." Gunnar looked up at his father, he smiled at Eric.
They stayed in the office until Gunnar began to whimper, he was hungry. Eric put his finger in his son's mouth, the babies fangs came down and bit into his flesh. Gunnar sucked on Eric's blood until the wound closed. He began to whimper again, Eric shut his computer down and took his son to the bedroom. Sookie was sitting up when he opened the door. "Bring him here sweetie."
Eric walked to her and handed the baby to her. "You could sense he was hungry?"
"Yes and my breasts were beginning to leak." She looked down, the front of her shirt was wet.
Sitting next to her he watched her pull her gown up and his son take her nipple into his mouth. "I love to watch you feed my children."
She giggled. "You get turned on, that's why."
He nodded. "Yes, that is part of it. You will never understand what is for a male to watch his mate feed his children. That is something that is so maternal and beautiful yet watching my wife do it for my children does arouse me."
Leaning over she kissed him, her hand going to the front of his pants, it was time for a little pay back. "You turn me on by being such a good father." Her hand rubbed gracious plenty though his pajama bottoms. "You are so hot Eric."
His fangs came down and leaned in, she put her hands up. "Tomorrow, Lily will be here at 8 am to take care of the kids. I asked her to watch them for us first thing. Your going to have to wait."
He hissed. "Sookie."
"Eric, your going to have to wait. You said it yourself, you could go years without sex. One night will not kill you." She moved Gunnar to the other breast, he latched on. Eric leaned to the breast his son just left and ran his tongue over the puncture marks to close them.
"I must teach my son not to mark up your body. I do not care for it." He gently touched her skin her nipple.
Sookie rolled her eyes. "Lets get some sleep, the kids will be up early since we called it a night early."
"But Lily will be here." He sounded like a spoiled child.
"Yes, but not until 8." She smiled.
"We need to revisit another nanny for the children." Eric stood and went to his side of the bed, gracious plenty really wanted to come out and play.
"Good night sweetie." She yawned as he got in the bed. Standing she put Gunnar in his crib, he was sound asleep. She pulled it closer, got back in the bed and pulled the covers up.
"Good night my love." He closed his eyes and she did too. They were asleep in minutes.
