Chapter 70
Eric got as far as the end of the driveway. He stopped the car and turned around, parked the car and rushed up the stairs. He went into the room and leaned over Sookie. "My love?"
Her eyes opened. "Sweetie?" She yawned.
"Sookie, I need to talk to you. I am sorry to wake you but it is important." He turned the light on.
"Ok." She looked at him, he was so serious.
"Lilith called, I spoke with her and she asked me to meet with me. She said it was important and she needs to speak with me. I was going to go and deal with her myself but as I drove down the driveway I knew I could not give her the idea that I could keep things from you, that I would deceive you and I just didn't feel right leaving without telling you. Would you mind going with me to speak with her?" He kept his eyes on her the whole time.
Sookie took his hand. "Is it important to you to speak to her?"
"She was important to me Sookie, we were together for over five hundred years on and off. Yes, there were plenty of woman in between but she cared for me, she always hoped our relationship would advance. That was not something I wanted, I liked it just the way it was. If you come with me tonight she will realize that she needs to move on. I do not want to see her hurt Sookie, if I can help it." Sookie watched him tell her about a part of his life he was uncomfortable about.
"Let me get some clothes on. Ok?" Sookie stood up and put her clothes on.
He looked at her sadly. "Please do not be angry with me. I should have told you she called earlier."
"I am not mad Eric, I am glad you realized you needed to tell me before you went off in the middle of the night. That might not have turned out too good for you." She smirked and shook her head. "Don't keep secrets Eric, how would you feel if I did that to you, snuck out of the house in the middle of the night to meet a man?" She watched his face change to anger, he got the message loud and clear.
"Yes, I figured it out by the time I got down the driveway. I should have told you before I left. I am sorry Sookie." He reached out for her.
"Lets go deal with your ex Eric." She rolled her eyes as they left the room. "Nigel." She called to him and he appeared in front of them in a flash. He gave Eric a dirty look. "I take it you know about Lilith."
Nigel nodded. "Yes, I am glad he came to his senses before he made a mistake." Eric hissed at him. "You know I was right that is why you came back, you knew what the right thing to do was." Nigel smiled and looked at Sookie.
"Ok, enough you too. Yes, Eric used his brain, we got that." She turned to Nigel. "We are going to meet with Lilith, get my car and lets go."
Nigel's mouth opened up and almost hit the floor. "You are still going?" He looked at Eric.
"Car Nigel." Sookie said. The three of them got into Sookie's car. Nigel drove, Sookie and Eric sat in the back, Eric held onto Sookie tight the entire ride. When they pulled up to the coffee shop Lilith could be seen sitting alone in the window. "Eric, stay here for a minute ok? When I am done talking to her you can if she still wants to talk alright?" Nigel chuckled from the front seat.
"Sookie…." Eric tried to stop her.
"You asked me to come here, now let me talk to her, woman to woman." Sookie nodded to Nigel who got out of the car, opened the door and fell in line with her.
Sookie walked into the restaurant and made a bee line to Lilith. "What are you doing here?" The female vampire hissed.
"Hello Lilith, it seems my husband got a phone call from you tonight. I am here to intercept it. Stop calling my husband Lilith, the last call you made to him better be your last." Sookie sat across from her, Nigel was directly behind her, his hand on his sword.
"I want to speak to Eric." She looked around like he was coming in too.
Sookie shook her head. "Listen, I don't know if your aware of my tolerance for Eric's ex-girlfriends but I would be happy to tell you about one specific one." Sookie turned to Nigel.
Nigel looked seriously at Lilith then said one word. "Katie." He made the chopping the head off movement and Lilith looked shocked. The death of Katie was supe legend. Nigel made a great wing man Sookie thought.
"I don't mean to let it happen, it just does. See, I am so in love with my husband I let my anger get the best of me, then bad things happen. We don't tell Eric, he doesn't know about them all." She giggled wickedly for effect. Nigel nodded behind her, his eyes got big like he knew of her assassinations, as if he helped her.
"I only wanted to tell him goodbye. He was mine for over five hundred years!" Lilith actually pouted.
Sookie reached across the table to take her hand, she squeezed it with all of her strength, she could see the look in her eyes, fear. "I know, he is so good in bed he makes you crazy doesn't he?" Sookie smirked. "How do you think I ended up with four kids? I wont let him out of the bed for days." Her eyes glowed as she spoke to the vampire. "Eric gave me a message to give you, he is married, he loves his family. I think he is afraid for your safety, poor thing. He was there the day I killed Katie, he was very upset with me for ending her, but what could he do? I am a very super powerful Fae with anger issues. I take care of the competition." She smiled.
Lilith looked scared to the core. "Look I got it ok, I wont call him, tell him to lose my number!" She was up, out of the booth and gone in a flash.
Sookie turned around to look at Nigel. "Don't you dare tell him what I said Nigel, do you hear me?"
Nigel burst out laughing. "Even if I did he would never believe me! My Queen, we need to do some recon together, you are fucking fantastic!"
Sookie laughed too. "I just went with the flow. Did you see her face when I took her hand. I think she would have pissed herself if she could." She cleared her face and went back to the car where Eric was waiting patiently, he was in down time.
"Lover, do I need to speak to her?" He looked at her concerned as he began to step out of the car.
"No, she told me to give you a message. She never wants to hear from you again." Sookie got into the car straight faced and Nigel covered his mouth to stop the laughter.
Eric turned her face to look at him. "What did you do?" Nigel got in and put the car in drive to take them home.
Sookie smiled. "I told her I loved you, you love your family and how wonderful you were in bed. I think she got the message."
Nigel shook his head, Eric leaned forward. "Nigel, what did she do?"
"My King, I plead the fifth, I was a willing participant to a crime, I refuse to incriminate myself….." He didn't get to finish, Eric growled.
Sookie burst out laughing. "Nigel, hurry up and get us home, I plan on showing my husband what being a good vampire gets him."
Eric's fangs popped and he pushed her back on the seat and kissed her like crazy. When they got to the house he rushed her upstairs, threw her on the bed, then yanked their clothes off, they both were blood lusting.
"Sweetie, I need to go check on the kids." She giggled.
"No, you are staying here. Tammy is taking care of them, they are sound asleep my love." His hands were all over her. "Lay back Sookie."
Sookie shook her head laughing. "Eric, seriously, I need to get up."
He hissed at her, pulled her legs down toward him. She laughed and wiggled away from him, his hand gripping her again this time pinning her under him. He moved so fast, he had her legs open, he knelt between them as he pushed into her not giving her any warning. "Mine, Sookie, you are mine."
She bucked and cried out, his hips thrusting hard against her, the sound of the their bodies crashing together was intoxicating. Sookie was wet and fell in pace with him instantly. "Yes, Eric." Her hands went behind him, she pushed his ass so he would go deeper inside her. "More Eric."
His gave her a fangy smile, he leaned over and bit into her breast, she moaned, her head falling back. Eric's hips pounded her, hard. It didn't take long, Eric was grunting her name as he came inside her and as he did he continued moving inside her, he was rock hard still. He straightened up, pulled her closer to him and slowed down, almost to a stop. "I only want to love you. You are everything to me, my entire world is you and my children."
Sookie smiled and leaned up, she pulled his face to his. "I know sweetie, I love you, just love me." Her lips went to his, he kissed her, their tongues entwined while he moved her back to the mattress. His body hovered over her, slowly his length moved in and out of her, he smiled as she panted, she was getting closer but he would take his time, he wanted to fill her completely with his love, his desire, his appreciation of her. Eric's hands took hers, their fingers grasping the others, he held them together on the bed while he loved her.
The bond opened wide, it began swirling, the air in the room filled, it was thick. Eric looked up long enough to see what was happening, the color of the light was a translucent blue. "Sookie, look." Her face turned to look away from him to see the light, she smiled. His face went back to hers, their eyes locking on each other.
Eric took his time, when he knew she was close he kept his pace but pushed harder into
her each time, his grunt made her grin, she knew what he was doing. "Sweetie, yes, right there, I am right there!" She moaned, her body bucking under him, she climaxed hard, her body jerking. Eric bit into his arm putting it to her mouth and he went to the opposite breast from earlier to take his fill of her sweet blood. They came together, holding onto each other tightly. Eric didn't move he stayed inside her, he wanted to be connected to her as long as he could. She pushed up on her elbows slightly and kissed him, a long passionate kiss. "Wow, what was the light?"
He looked down on her, he was afraid to say the words out loud, he had two thoughts but he would do as she asked, he would tell her. "I have two theories." She nodded. "One, it could be your powers increasing, maybe transmitting something to me."
Sookie looked at him her eyes searched his. "Like the storm outside, just different."
"Yes, it could be that. It was blue like the day your eyes glowed." He rolled over taking her with him still connected to her. "Or it could be something else." Every ounce of his being wanted not to upset her but she wanted the truth.
"What else could it be?" She purred and laid her head on his shoulder.
"We have made a child." Eric closed his eyes for the fall out.
Sookie pushed up and looked in the eyes. "You think that was what happened?"
Shaking his head he looked at her. "I do not know Sookie, your powers are still a mystery to us. It is impossible to know."
"Well, it is inevitable isn't it? I mean we don't use any type of birth control and neither of us can keep our hands off each other. I know I couldn't or wouldn't want to keep from having sex with you, ever. So I will just have to deal with it." She grinned.
Eric's head fell back and he laughed. He laughed harder than she had heard him laugh in a while. "What have you done with my bride?"
"What?" She looked offended.
"I just told you I thought we made a baby and you said you had to deal with it, you amaze me!" He grinned.
"Eric, I have to pick my battles. I am not an idiot, we have sex, we can get pregnant. I know every time it's a chance, do you see me stopping?" Her head went back to his shoulder.
Eric hugged her tight. "That would give us five or six children Sookie."
"Six?" She asked him.
"Twins are prevalent in the Fae world Sookie. You know this."
She sighed. "I didn't think about that. If I get pregnant with twins this time Eric I am having you neutered. Count on it." She giggled and leaned up to kiss him. "Never mind that, I don't want anything near gracious plenty, its too valuable!"
He laughed again, reached down and smacked her ass, hard. "You need a paddling wife, I think now is as good of time as any." Eric grinned. "Lay back and get some sleep, we have much to do tomorrow. The park, packing for our trip, work."
She yawned and closed her eyes, she was asleep in seconds, he smiled and fell asleep holding her tightly to him.
Sookie woke the next morning, they had so much to do, Eric was laying looking at her. "Hi sweetie." She leaned over and kissed him.
"Hello my love. Did you sleep well?"
She giggled and nodded to him. She jumped up and wiggled her ass at him. Running to the bathroom she started the shower and he was behind her in seconds. "Caught me did you?"
"You did not give much chase my love." His fangs nipped her neck.
"That is the best part, getting caught!" Giggling she stepped into the water. Things moved back into their proper place, Eric knew they did, she had let the issue with Lilith go and moved on. He was so proud of her, she grew stronger every day. She was washing his back. "Eric, we still need to get through some of the King and Queen stuff today, would you mind sitting with me for about a half hour before we leave for the park."
"Certainly, anything pressing?" He closed his eyes as her hands went down the front of him.
She smiled. "No, but I want your opinion. Some of the issues are more political and I don't want to give my opinion until I know it is alright with you."
"Of course lover, but I am sure your choices will be good ones." He kissed her, stepped into the water spray and rinsed off. "You are next wife, under the water. We have much to do today."
"Yes my King." She bowed and smiled, he chuckled at her silliness. Stepping under the water she rinsed then turned to shut the water off. Eric opened the door, handed her a towel and walked into the bedroom. He put on blue jeans, a white t-shirt and left his hair down in his face. Sookie almost jumped him, he looked so hot. She went casual too, she put on red and white sundress, red sandals and put her hair up in her signature pony tail. Eric was putting his wallet, keys and phone in his pocket as he walked toward her. He held his hand out for her and she took it smiling. "Lets check on the kids and then I will grab my laptop, we can sit with them while we work."
He smiled. "That sounds fine." They walked downstairs and he could hear Erika was crying. Eric rushed to her. "My Princess, what is it?" The pink tears fell down her face.
"You are mad at mommy." She pouted.
"She has been fussing since this morning since she woke up." Lily looked distraught.
Eric moved to the couch and sat with her. "Erika, daddy is not mad at mommy. She is right there, see?"
Ericka looked over to Sookie who walked over to her. "Angel, mommy and daddy love each other, sometimes things happen but we always remember we love each other and fix it. Don't we sweetie?"
Her husband looked up and smiled. "Yes, you have nothing to worry about my Princess. We need to change your dress so we can go to the park, you have tears all over it. Would you like that?"
He watched his daughters face changed, she began to sniffle and smile. "Park, really?"
"Yes, Lily will change you into another pretty dress and daddy will take you and your brothers to the park. Mommy too." He held his hand up for Sookie to take, she smiled at him and reached out for his hand.
Lily stepped forward. "Come on Princess, lets go pick something out." She held her hand out for Erika and lead her to the nursery.
Eric stood. "Let me get your laptop Sookie, then we can leave."
"No, lets just go, we can do it when we get back. We will do it first thing when we get back, ok?" She looked over to her son who was reading, Enar was playing with his little brother.
"That is fine." He went to sit on the floor with Enar and Gunnar.
Amelia came in. "Hey guys."
Sookie turned. "Hi Amelia, how are you today?"
She smiled and nodded. "Can I see you a second?" Amelia signaled toward the foyer. Sookie looked at Eric who nodded. Sookie walked behind her friend. "I took the test."
"Ok, you need to tell me because the suspense is killing me." Sookie's eyes were big with anticipation.
Amelia looked around then back to her. "Pregnant."
Sookie wanted to jump up and down but she didn't. "Seriously? Did you tell Alcide?"
"No, I am going to tell him tonight. He will go crazy." Amelia smiled.
"Your happy then?" Sookie looked at her friend seriously.
"Yeah, how can I not be? You know how Alcide is going to go crazy." Amelia grinned.
"What am I going crazy about hun?" Alcide asked.
Amelia closed her eyes afraid to turn around. "We can talk about it later Alcide."
Alcide narrowed his eyes and looked like he was about to get mad. "No, tell me now, what am I going to go crazy about?"
"I got a test from the store last night, I think were pregnant." She just blurted it out.
Sookie watched Alcide stand and blink. "Seriously?"
"Yes, I am serious. We need to make an appointment to see the doctor…." She didn't get any farther, Alcide had her in his arms swinging her around.
"That is incredible!" He quickly put her down. "Honey, I'm sorry, I didn't hurt you did I?" "Alcide we had mind blowing sex this morning until I can barely walk straight, swinging me around isn't going to hurt me." Amelia turned to Sookie who was giggling.
Eric stepped in. "Is everything alright?"
Sookie smiled and nodded. "Somebody else is pregnant besides me! Life is great!" Everyone laughed.
"Yes, well don't count your chickens, the entire neighborhood hears the two of you going at it. It is only a matter of time you are in the same boat missy!" Amelia giggled.
"Uh huh." She turned to Eric. "Ready sweetie?"
"Let me gather the guards. Get Lily and bring her with us, alright?" Sookie smiled.
Eric turned, he was still laughing at Sookie and Amelia. "Do you want to join us at the park?" Alcide and Amelia both looked at each other, Alcide smiled at his wife and nodded.. "Sure, let me run up and get Adam, his is in the nursery." Her tall thin frame ran up the stairs.
"Thanks you guys, you don't have to drag us along." Alcide told them.
"Nonsense. You are family. Get ready, we will be leaving soon." Eric left to get the cars ready and the guards.
"Congrats daddy!" Sookie kissed him on the cheek and went to get her kids.
Alcide stood still, he had the biggest grin on his face. "Another baby!"
Amelia stood at the top of the stairs, she watched her husband, he was happy, really happy. She leaned into her son and whispered. "Adam, your going to be a big brother, what do you think of that?" His face lit up and he started to squeal. Alcide looked up, he heard his son. "Lets go to the park partner."
Sookie convinced Eric that Lily could stay home, there was five kids and four adults plus all the guards, they had it under control. Amelia, Alcide and Adam were in the car behind them, Stephen and Maggie were guards for their Herveaux family. Gary and Mark were driving in their vehicle. The kids were talking to each other in Swedish, Enar growled a few times at whatever they were talking about. Eric turned around to his children in their car seats, he had Gunnar on his lap. "Stop teasing the Warrior Johan." He smirked as he turned back around.
Rolling her eyes she looked out the window. She was excited to be going to the park, it was a beautiful summer day. Maybe they could stop and get lunch. She knew that Merlotte's had reopened after the fire, she still had a special place in her heart for Sam but she couldn't bring herself to go and see him. There would never be a middle ground where she and Sam could be where Eric was concerned. He wrapped his arm around her, pulled her close and kissed the top of her head. He could feel through the bond she was upset. "Thanks sweetie, I am fine."
"If you want to go and see him Sookie, we can. I will not be angry." He held her tight.
"No, I don't want to see him Eric, I am just sad that he never would accept us, that is never going to change." She watched out the window as the cars pulled up to the park, it was full of people, Sookie saw Jason's pick up in the lot already. Turning she looked at her kids. "Uncle Jason is here Troops!"
Everyone squealed, Sookie just shook her head. For as much of a pain Jason was he sure loved her kids and they loved him, that alone was good enough for her. She and her brother might not be close as siblings could be but he was good to her babies, that meant a lot.
The cars pulled into the lots, the guards got out, Mark was on high alert, since the incident yesterday his face was more stressed than usual. He and Gary walked the park then when they came back the guards opened the doors to help everyone get out. Eric got out the twins stroller, Enar didn't want to sit in it so Johan took his hand and they walked. Gunnar and Erika sat hand in hand for the walk they always took first. Alcide got the stroller for Adam and pushed him next to Eric and Sookie. Jason jogged to the group. "Hey ya'll, looks like a lot of work getting you from one place to another." He smiled, knelt down, hugged and kissed everyone. Eric nodded to Jason who nodded back.
"Hi Jason, how are you?" Sookie asked as he hugged and kissed her.
"Good sis, I am glad you had Eric call, I've missed ya. Boy Gunnar is getting big, they all are really." He smiled down at the newest member of the family who blinked at him. Sookie giggled, that was the same look Eric gave Jason when he spoke to him.
"Are you ready for your walk my love?" Eric turned around to address Alcide. "Ready scruffy?"
Alcide grinned. "Need some help pushing the stroller with your old bones, we don't want to have to watch you suffer." The males went back and forth, they walked and talked, laughed, really enjoying each others company.
Amelia stopped at the memorial for Sookie's Gran. "Wow, that is really beautiful. Eric, you really are a big softy."
Eric laughed. "Only for Sookie and my family." He smiled at her and kept pushing the stroller moving the group along the path. Jason was in the middle of the park with the boys, Johan was holding onto Jason's back and he had Enar racing them around. Both boys were laughing and edging him to go faster. "Your brother is much like a child is he not?"
Sookie giggled. "Eric Northman, don't pick on your brother in law."
Eric turned to Alcide who both rolled their eyes. They walked around the entire park, found a shady spot near where the boys were playing, Erika was squirming to get out. "Down daddy, down!" She wanted out desperately now.
"Alright Princess, let daddy get your belt." He knelt down to release the safety belt and he picked her up to put her on the feet, she ran like the wind to her brothers.
"We need to talk to them about using their powers in public Eric." Sookie frowned.
"No, they are my children, they can do what they wish. They are a Princess and the Princes." He stood proud.
Alcide took Adam out of the stroller while Sookie picked up Gunnar. Eric took laid down the big blanket they brought with them so they could sit on the grass and play with the kids. Sookie brought water, snacks and sunscreen with her. She and Amelia lathered the resistant kids. Jason was giving her the nagging look. "Sis, let them play they are having fun."
Sookie narrowed her eyes. "Jason my kids are all blonde and blue eyes, they will burn. Don't tell me how to be a mom to my kids."
Jason put up his hands in defense and Eric chuckled. "Stackhouse why do you insist on putting your foot in your mouth constantly. You know she is going to rip your head off at the neck when you say such things."
Jason gave Sookie a dirty look. "Yeah, I know but she is so over the top. Let em be kids for crying out loud."
"Wait until you have kids Jason Stackhouse, you will see. Don't use that tone with me either, if Gran were here she would smack you upside your head." Johan grabbed his belly and fell back laughing causing everyone to laugh at Jason's expense.
"Make fun of me, go ahead little man!" Jason pretended to jump on him and had them both rolling around on the ground like lunatics.
A couple hours later every one started getting tired and hungry. "I guess we should get everyone home, kids are getting hungry." Alcide looked to Eric.
"Yes, it is getting warmer now, lets get the kids out of the heat." Jason said goodbye to everyone and headed on his way. The adults packed up the kids, the guards stood close and got everyone safely back to the cars. They were on their way back to the house in no time.
Eric held her to him, she was feeding a sleepy Gunnar. "Did you enjoy yourself my love?"
"Oh Eric, it is so much fun to watch the kids, they get to run and play like kids are supposed to." She yawned.
"Everyone had a good time, including that brother of yours. Lets get our children home for their nap, we could use one too." He leaned over and kissed the top of her head.
Sookie fell asleep feeding her son, Eric took him when he was done, holding him tight to him for the remainder of the ride. Turning to check on his children, they were all sound asleep in the back, Enar holding Erika's hand, Johan holding Enar's. He smiled, there could never be sweeter more loving children than the ones he was blessed to have with his beautiful bride.
Maggie and Stephen took Alcide, Amelia and Adam home while the guards drove them to theirs. When the car pulled up Mark and Gary got out to help all the sleeping creatures out of the car. Mark took the twins, Gary had Johan and Eric carried Sookie and Gunnar. Lily met them at the door. She whispered. "Everyone had a good time I see." Smiling Mark kissed her quickly and took the kids up the stairs followed by Gary. Eric didn't know what to think of Mark's behavior. He grinned and took his wife and son to their room for a nap.
Eric gently laid Sookie on the bed, took Gunnar out of her arms and put him in the bed next to theirs. He took off Sookie's shoes, carefully he pulled her dress over her head and laid her back down leaving just her underwear on. He smiled at his wife, she was more beautiful now after four kids. Her hips were a little wider, her breasts still full. He was a lucky vampire he thought to himself. Going around to his side of the bed he took off his t-shirt and boots to climb in bed with her. He pulled her close and covered them up. He was asleep in minutes.
