Chapter 75
Sookie woke to a pounding headache and a queasy stomach. Eric was still asleep next to her, he looked so peaceful so she didn't want to bother him. Moaning she got out of the bed, went to the bathroom to take care of things and hopped in the shower. When she got out of the shower she felt a little bit better so she dressed, she put on a cotton summer dress in emerald green and summer white, her flats in the same white and a short sleeved sweater. Today she had some meetings and things to do as Queen. Her hair she put up in a high pony tail, her make up she did minimally and she put on princess cut emerald and diamonds at her ears Eric had bought when Gunnar was born. She stopped at the nursery first, the splashing she heard immediately. Walking into the bathroom, her daughter was in the tub making a huge mess. Sookie said good morning to Lily and then turned to her daughter. "Erika Northman, what are you doing baby?"
She giggled, held her arms up and called to her mother. "Mommy! I am taking a bath."
Lily who was sitting next to her on the tub lip smiled. "The boys are in the living room with Amelia and Eagle. I think they want to talk to you." She turned back to Erika to get her out of the tub. "I will be there in five minutes to get the boys so you can talk in private."
"Ok." Sookie grinned. "You are such a ham missy."
Erika laughed and splashed again, water going every where. Lily shook her head. "Lets get you out of here, you are a menace." Everyone laughed and Sookie turned to go to the living room. When she entered Eagle was sitting on the floor among the boys. "Well, what's going on here?"
Everyone looked her direction, the kids all hollered at her to say good morning, she went around and gave the kids all kisses, including Adam who was smiling like crazy at her. Amelia laughed. "He has been waiting all morning to see you. My son learned a new word."
Adam clapped his hands and giggled, his arm reaching out to point at Sookie. "Sook."
He clapped again making everyone laugh again.
"Wow, that is so cool. Adam, you are such a smart boy!" Sookie leaned down and kissed him again. Maggie smiled and picked up the baby and took him out of the room.
Sookie stood and her daughter came running in. "Mommy, we are going to play. Are you coming?" She was pulling on Sookie's dress.
Smiling she knelt down. "Mommy needs to talk to Amelia and Eagle. You go and play with your brothers. Mommy will see you in a little bit, ok?"
She smiled at her mother. "Ok, mommy. I love you." Her daughter threw her arms around her neck, quickly hugged her then released her running to catch up with Lily and the boys.
"She is so beautiful Sookie." Eagle beamed.
"I know, she is isn't she? She is the light of Eric's life. I don't know what I did to deserve all this." She smiled and sat next to Amelia.
Amelia took her hand and squeezed it. "Any more light?"
"Nope, we had that quickie in Eagles office." She looked at Eagle, who was grinning. "Sorry Eagle." He shrugged. "Anyway, no light. I don't get it."
"I have looked and have not been able to find anything on the light." He handed her a note pad. "When it happens write it down. Lets see if we can figure out what is causing it."
"Are you pregnant Sook?" Amelia asked.
Shrugging her shoulders she looked at them one at a time. "I don't know. If I am then I am."
Amelia laughed. "Wait, where is Sookie Stackhouse-Northman and what have you done with her?"
Everyone laughed and Sookie slapped her friends leg. "Stop, I have to get busy. Anything we need to take care of this morning that I don't know about?"
"You have your agenda I sent right?" Sookie nodded at Amelia. "Lets get through it. The Mayor's wife will be here at one so we can get tons done before that." Sookie smiled at Eagle and off they went. They got on the elevator to head down to the office and got busy. A few hours went by and Sookie looked up from the huge stack of mail. "Amelia, I don't want to make any plans past the two months we have already set up. Just in case."
Amelia was in the middle of a sentence on her laptop. "I am sorry Sookie, just in case what?" She was half listening to Sookie.
Sookie gave her a dirty look. "Just in case Amelia."
Now Amelia got it, but she wanted to hear her say it. "I still don't understand Sookie." Amelia sat with the most serious look on her face.
"In case Eric and I are pregnant again. Ok!" Sookie smirked.
"I think it would be awesome if you are pregnant again. Adam, our new baby, Gunnar and a new baby for you and Eric. They all would be so close in age. Wow! How are we going to travel with all these kids?" Amelia laughed.
Sookie smiled. "Eric said he is buying a bigger plane."
Amelia burst out laughing. "Your joking?""Nope, said he wanted to make sure we had enough room." She looked down at the pile then back up. "Eric knows how many kids we will have, I think he is preparing for it."
Amelia looked at her. "How does he know that?"
"Johan told him." Sookie said quietly.
"That is awesome!" Amelia exclaimed.
"You want to know what else is awesome, we knew you were pregnant too. Erika told me." Sookie looked at Amelia.
Amelia sat shocked. "Seriously?"
"Yep, she sure did." Sookie smiled.
"Did she tell you what it would be?" Amelia put her hand on her belly, they knew they were for sure pregnant, Dr. Ludwig had confirmed it before they left.
Nodding she looked at her friend. "I am not telling." She stuck her tongue out and Amelia shook her head.
They worked until Eric knocked on the door. "Lover, you need to take a break and come have lunch."
Sookie smiled and got up meeting him half way. She wrapped her arms around him and leaned up for him to kiss her. "Hi Eric." She hugged him tighter.
"Why did you not wake me this morning?" He looked down at her.
"You needed your rest. Did you just get up?" Her eyes filled with such love for him.
"No, I have been with the children." He smiled and kissed the top of her head. "Come on ladies, Sergio and Trish have got lunch ready. You have a meeting soon, yes?"
She nodded. "Yes, at one."
"Get a move on it then." He smiled and held his hand out for Amelia to help her out of the chair. "The shaggy one has Adam already at the table. He is waiting for you." Amelia stood up and smiled walking out in front of them.
"You are sweet Eric Northman." She kissed him again and let him walk her to the elevator to go back up stairs to the dining room. The whole gang was there, high chairs lined the long table. Sookie laughed as the walked. Gunnar was squealing when he saw his mother. "Hey pumpkin, are you hungry?"
Sookie sat down when Eric pulled out her chair and he reached for his son taking him out of the table top bouncer. "Let mommy eat and then we will get you fed son." Eric nicked his finger and put it in Gunnar's mouth. That settled him right down. "Eat Sookie." Eric nodded to her plate.
Smiling she pulled her plate closer and dug in. The adults chatted, the kids talked about what they did while playing, Johan was telling Sookie about magic he was doing. "Johan that is great. You will have to show mommy." She took a bite of her food while Johan used his kid fork to eat his food. When Sookie was done eating Sookie took Gunnar and fed him, he fell fast asleep in her arms.
When lunch was over Eric helped Lily take the kids to their rooms for a nap. He kissed Sookie before leaving. "If you need me I will be in the office." Smiling he left her with Alcide, Amelia and Adam.
"I think I will take little man to the nursery and put him down too. I have a meeting this afternoon so I will turn him over to Maggie. Ok hun?" Alcide stood up.
"Be careful." He leaned down and kissed her taking their happy son with him.
Mark appeared. "Sookie, the Mayor's wife is here." Sookie and Amelia got up and went down to the office to meet with her.
Eric's phone was ringing, he looked down at the caller ID. "Northman."
"Hey Eric, I thought I needed to call you, there was some FoTS guys arrested here last night near Gran's house. They tried to burn it down, hers and Bills." Jason sounded really concerned.
"Was anyone hurt?" Eric hissed.
Jason sighed. "No, they got Bill's the worst. Gran's just got some damage to the back porch. Bill's it took em a while to get it out. Fire Marshall said cause of all the old paint and stuff. He isn't in there is he?"
Eric shook his head. "No, he is in New Orleans. Give me the number to the Fire Marshall so I may speak to him. I will let Sookie know. How many members were there?"
"Six, they got them all." Jason said angrily.
"Stackhouse, I will handle them." Eric's voice was full of venom.
Jason chuckled. "Good." They said their goodbyes and Eric made some phone calls.
"It was so nice to see you again Mrs. Mayor. Please, lets get together again when we get back." Sookie smiled at the older woman.
"Sookie, you know I adore you. I appreciate your help with these fundraisers. Can I count on you for the one around Christmas?" She looked at Sookie excitedly.
"I will tell you what, you email the information to Amelia and if we are going to be here for Christmas I will. How's that?" Sookie smiled. The woman smiled, thanked her and left. Sookie looked at Amelia. "If we are here, remind me ok?"
"You got it." Amelia took out her Ipad and made a note of it.
Eric came in the office, his face looked angry. "Sookie, please sit I need to speak with you.""What is wrong Eric?" Sookie looked up at him, she could feel through the bond he was really angry and lusting for blood. She sat as he indicated, Amelia did too.
"There was some FoTS members that have vandalized both Gran's house and Compton's." He hissed.
Amelia gasped. "What did they do?"
"First let me say no one was hurt." Eric knew she would be concerned about that first and foremost. "They fire bombed Bill's, his house has considerable damage. Gran's they were only able to destroy the back porch area. The Fire Marshall said they were on the scene fast enough to keep it under control." Eric sat next to her.
Sookie was seething with anger. "Why are they always coming after us? Are we the only super naturals in the whole state or something?"
Eric shook his head. "I have the insurance adjuster on his way now. He will email us pictures within the hour. The construction crew is on their way. As soon as the adjuster is done the porch will be repaired and any other damage as well. I have one going to Bill's so that we may inform him when he rises." Eric took her hand. "It is under control."
Sookie leaned up against him. "Thanks sweetie." She leaned up and kissed him.
"Sook, why don't you go lay down. We can take a break for awhile, you are looking a little tired." Amelia stood up and nodded to Eric.
"Yes, I agree. Lets go take a nap." He stood up and held his hand out for her to take.
The thoughts running through her mind about her house made her mad. Hoyt and his wife lived there now and had since she moved in with Eric but she still had a soft spot for it. Eric took great pains to make sure it was kept up, any repairs were done and promptly, he knew how much that house meant to her. "Sookie?"
She turned to look at him when they got inside the bedroom. "What sweetie?"
"I will handle this." His fangs popped.
She nodded and knew what he meant. "I know you will." She undressed completely, got in the bed and covered up with the blanket. Eric smiled as he took his clothes off and got in next to her. "My angel." His lips went to hers, he kissed her gently. Sookie wrapped her arms around his neck pulling her closer to her.
Sookie moaned, she felt her husband position himself between her legs, she opened wide for him, her legs went up and around his waist, her hands moved down his firm muscular back to his ass. Sookie's hands gripped him hard, she pulled back and slapped his gorgeous ass cheek. Eric moved to look at her, his eyes were so full of love and want, he grinned at her. She moved back up and kissed him again, their bond opened wide. Eric was inside her, slowly thrusting in her, she quickly moved to fall in to time with the movement of him inside her. They were silent, only their bodies moving together, the quiet moaning of Eric against her ear, Sookie panting into his mouth. They loved, their love swirling quick and completely around them. Sookie moved forward, bit into his chest opening a wound to take his blood, Eric leaned over and pushed his fangs into her neck, taking every drop he could. They came crashing into each other, their silence as they held each other made it all the more intense.
Sookie's eyes were already heavy, she could barely keep her eyes open, Eric rolled over taking him with her, her body against his, they were face to face. His arms wrapped around her, he gently rubbed her back and she was asleep. Eric laid with her like that, he watched her sleep. He smiled as he did, she was so pretty, more than pretty, she hadn't changed one bit since the first day he met her, just her hair. It had gotten blonder and longer. He thought of his daughter, she looked just like Sookie, she had a few of his features but he hoped as she got older she would resemble Sookie more, but with his eyes. That was Sookie's only request. All their children had to have his eyes, he found that funny even now. All four of his children had his blue eyes, what miracles they were. Eric thought about the possibility of her being pregnant again. It made him smile but also knew he was enjoying Sookie like she was, she was more confident, stronger and happier than he had ever known her to be. That made him happy too, his wife was such a joy.
"Eric?" She stirred on him.
"Yes my love." He hugged her harder.
"Why are you thinking about babies?" She yawned.
Eric went completely still. "What did you say Sookie?"
Her eyes blinking, she was still half asleep. "You were thinking of the babies, us having more babies."
"Sookie, you read my mind?" Eric's fangs came down.
She was awake now. "Yeah, I think I did."
"What else did you hear?" He had to know.
She rolled off him. "Just about the babies, it was like changing a TV, I caught it mid program."
"Sookie, have you heard me before?" He asked cautiously.
Nodding she looked at him. "A couple times, just small images or words, nothing like this."
"You know we have to keep this quiet Sookie." Eric leaned over and looked her square in the eye.
"I know. We still need to test Erika. Can we do that while we are here?" Sookie looked almost scared.
He nodded and sat up on his elbows. "Yes, we will have Pam do that after the Sheriff's meeting." Eric sat up. "Do not worry my love. We can keep this quiet, we can teach our daughter to keep her ability secret if need be."
Sookie smiled slightly. "I know sweetie."
They got up and got dressed, Sookie had a few things she wanted to get done and Eric had work to do before the Sheriff's meeting. When they were re-dressed Eric walked her to nursery, he kissed her and he went downstairs to his office. Alcide was sitting, he looked at Eric as he came in. "Tray and the men picked up a scent of humans around the property in Shreveport. He is running the trackers now."
Eric growled. "Are they that foolish to continue this ridiculousness against my family?"
"I thought we had them under control, it seems they are fighting back." Alcide looked just as pissed as Eric.
Eric took his phone out of his pocket. "Mark, I need to see you downstairs in my office please." He hung the phone up and went to sit in his chair. "Well, we will just have to remind them that cannot win this battle."
Alcide and Eric talked a few minutes until Mark came in. "I already spoke to Tray. I have called in more security here and on the Shreveport home."
Eric nodded. "The trackers will find more."
"I am sure they will. They cant get through our gates Eric, only by air. I cant imagine they will be that drastic. Our guards will know the minute they cross over it." Mark was confident.
"Have our special team out tonight, make it know without a doubt it was my Kingdom that will be back and finish them all." Eric spoke through his teeth.
Mark agreed. "I will and I think we should increase the guards on Sookie, this was directed toward her. I do not want her out without double the guards at night Eric."
"I will speak to Nigel as soon as he rises. Nothing will happen to my wife as long as he is with her." Eric knew that for a fact Nigel would meet his final death before allowing anyone to touch Sookie.
"And the children. We need to be cautious with them as well. Are you still planning on taking them with you to the Sheriff's meeting tonight?" Mark needed to be sure he had enough security if he still planned to do so.
"Yes, I think I will keep our plans. We have had nothing concrete here and we will be mostly vampires tonight. I do not anticipate any issues." Eric stood. "I am going to get ready. Let me know immediately what you find out from the trackers." Both Alcide and Mark nodded. Eric left to go upstairs.
"Alcide, will you still be attending?" Mark asked.
Alcide nodded. "I will be there."
Eric took the elevator up to the main penthouse, when he walked through the guarded door he heard giggling. He smiled, he knew immediately who is was coming from. "Warrior? What are up to my son?" Enar turned his head, his face was full of mischief. He rushed to his father, levitated and wrapped his arms around Eric. "Hello daddy."
"Hello my son." Eric looked around, Sookie was grinning, Erika was on her lap, Gunnar was on the floor where Enar just had left and Johan was sitting next to his mother. They were beautiful. "My love, what is going on here?"
"Enar was playing with Gunnar. Enar was spinning Gunnar in circles in the air. I finally had to make him stop because Gunnar was turning green." Sookie put her hand over her mouth so the kids wouldn't see her giggling.
"Is this true Warrior?" Eric smirked.
Enar looked at his mother and then back to his father. "Yes daddy, Gunnar asked me too. He thought it would be fun."
Eric burst out laughing. Enar never gave them an ounce of trouble but once in awhile he had a devilish side, his son was just like him. "If you are going to do that make sure you do not make him sick and only when mommy or daddy are around alright?"
Enar clapped his hands and wiggled, he wanted down. Eric put him on his Nike clad feet and Eric rushed to his other children. He knelt down in front of Gunnar. "Hello vampire, how are you?" Gunnar smiled, his fangs popped and he giggled. Eric grinned back. Eric's eyes went to Johan. "Prince, has your siblings been well behaved today?"
Johan sat his book down, contemplated and nodded. "Yes, they have been very good today daddy." He smiled at his father.
Eric stood up and pretended to walk away and the squeal that came from his daughter made him burst out laughing. "Who is that making all that noise?" Eric turned slowly to look at her, the blonde little angel was smiling ear to ear, her hands in the air waving for her father to pick her up.
"Eric, don't tease her, she has been waiting for you to take her to work with you. Haven't you baby?" Sookie looked at her daughter. "Daddy promised, didn't you daddy?" Erika was bouncing on Sookie's lap.
Eric reached over and picked her up, threw he in the air and she was giddy. Laughing Eric caught her, kissed her on the lips and hugged her. "What a pretty dress you have on Princess." He touched the red silk ribbon that went around her middle. "I see you found your new barrette daddy got you."
Her little hand went to her head. "It is the prettiest one daddy! I love this one. It is like mommy's ring." Erika's fingers pointed toward Sookie's engagement ring.
"Yes, it is." Eric made a note to buy her more rubies, she loved them and she would have all she wanted.
Sookie narrowed her eyes. "No you don't Eric Northman, she is just a baby."
"What?" He played innocent.
"I see that look in your eye. Your daughter doesn't need any more diamond or jewels. Have you seen that jewelry box? It is full of bracelets and necklaces, let alone all the barrettes you buy her!" Sookie stood up smiling.
"My daughter will not wear those dreadful strings you call bows, Sookie. I have made it clear my Princess will wear nothing but the finest. If I find any of those things in her room I will take issue with it." He frowned.
"You are such a snob." Sookie laughed.
Erika giggled and Eric laughed. "Sookie, I am not a snob, I am the father of the only vampire Princess. She will have only the best. You know how I feel about this."
She rolled her eyes at him. "Ok, let me have her while you got get ready. We have all eaten and are waiting for you." Sookie's hands went out to take Erika.
"I have time, I want to see my children for a bit before I shower and change. I want to hear about their day." Eric moved to the couch, the kids climbed up, Sookie picked up Gunnar and put him in her lap. Eric talked to his children, listened to them tell him about their day, what they had for lunch, Johan told Eric about his new book. Eric grinned the entire time, he asked them questions and praised them all.
Sookie watched her husband, he had a million other things going on but here he was, sitting on the couch talking and laughing with his kids. He would tickled Erika's knees, rub Enar's back, mess up Johan's hair, kiss Gunnar. Eric wrapped his arm around Sookie pulling her into him, they talked and spent time just being a family. Sookie loved it, this was what she wanted most for her family. About an hour went by, Sookie sighed. "Eric, we have to be downstairs in thirty minutes." She looked up at him apologetically.
Eric smiled. "Troops, let daddy go shower and change then we can all go to mommy and daddy's meeting together. Alright?"
The kids had been excited all day, they ate their dinner that night talking about it, they didn't complain when Sookie put dress clothes on them or combed their hair. Even Erika behaved, she didn't even make a mess with the water in the bathtub because she wanted to hurry and dressed to go to work with daddy. They were so thrilled, all of the children piled off Eric and let him go. Sookie sat with them while he went to get ready.
"There is my beautiful Princess." Nigel appeared, knelt down to Erika taking her hand and kissing it. "You look so pretty tonight." He smiled up at her and she giggled.
Sookie just rolled her eyes. "Nigel you keep telling her that between you and Eric the little girls head wont fit through the door frames."
Nigel looked at Sookie and gasped. "She is an angel, how could you say such things my Queen. She is a mini version of you, is she not?"
Sookie laughed. "You are such a flirt Nigel."
He laughed and picked Erika up, they spoke to each other in Swedish and Erika put her hand on Nigel's face the entire time. Sookie went back to talking to the boys. "Nigel, give me my daughter." Eric stood behind him and chuckled.
"She is my date for the Sheriff's meeting Eric, she already promised to go with me." Nigel danced her around the room, she squealed as he turned her then dipped her.
Eric looked at Nigel closely, narrowed his eyes then his fangs came down. He was not taking to any male taking any of his child's attention. "Nigel." Eric warned.
"Daddy, please." Erika flashed her father her prettiest smile.
Eric gave up, turned to his wife and sons. "Are we ready?" Eric picked up Gunnar and Enar. Sookie stood and took Johan's hand. Sookie smiled and followed her husband and Nigel to the elevator. They got into the elevator, when they got to the ballroom it held the Sheriff's of Nevada, Pam, Duncan and their security staff. Sookie narrowed her eyes, their Were guards were there too, she knew instantly something was going on.
Sookie leaned over to Eric and whispered. "Eric, is everything alright?"
He looked down on her and smiled. "We have had some issues at the house. I have Tray and the trackers on it. We should know something soon." Nodding her took his family to their table, got the kids settled and nodded to Pam to begin the meeting. Three hours went by before they had everything ironed out, the kids were getting tired but they still had to say their goodbyes and thank them for coming. Eric and Sookie with Nigel stood with the kids and allowed the Sheriff's to come by and meet the kids, give fealty to each of the children and compliment them on how lucky they were.
The Sheriff of Area 4 stepped up, Mitchell. He was a nice looking vampire who looked to be in his early twenties when he was turned. The Sheriff stepped in the line of Erika and Nigel. "Well, is she not adorable. King are you taking requests for marriage." Sookie saw the look on Nigel's face change instantly, he thrust Erika at Sookie and pulled the Sheriff off his feet.
Nigel hissed and his face turned to the stone cold killer he was. "I will kill you come near her again, do I make myself clear?"
Eric stood and watched the vampire he had known for hundreds of years. "Nigel release him." Eric's voice was calm.
Turning quickly to look at Eric, Nigel pushed the Sheriff back as he let him go. "I meant what I said. Come near her again." The Sheriff looked scared to death. Eric looked between the two vampires. He nodded and Mitchell was shown out of the room. Eric looked back at Nigel, his old allies face was still angrier than Eric had ever seen.
Sookie leaned over to Eric. "Sweetie, is everything ok? Should I take the kids upstairs?"Eric shook his head. "No, we are fine."
The remaining Sheriff's came to them, they spoke and before long everyone was gone. Eric took his family back upstairs. When they were back in the penthouse Tammy helped Sookie put all the kids down but Erika, Eric held her on his lap waiting for Pam. She was getting tired but Eric really wanted her to see if she could read Pam. "Master?" Pam came in, her face was serious.
"Pam, have a seat." Eric nodded toward the love seat. Eric turned Erika to look at him. "Darling, Pammy is here and I want you to try to do what you did with mommy, remember where you listened to her thoughts?"
Erika looked at her father and yawned. "Ok, daddy." Erika turned her head and looked at Pam, the little girl smiled at Pam. "Hi Pammy."
Smiling Pam looked at her. "Hello my angel."
Erika closed and squinted her eyes. Eric watched her carefully. Erika opened her eyes and looked at Eric. "No daddy."
He turned her again. "Princess, it is important, can you try for daddy one more time please?" He smiled at his little daughter. She rubbed her eyes and nodded. Closing her eyes again she leaned against Eric.
After about a minute went by Erika opened her eyes. "I don't hear Pammy daddy." She looked up at Erika like she was in trouble.
Eric smiled at her. "You did wonderfully my angel. Are you ready for bed now?" She nodded and yawned really big.
Pam stood up. "Let me take her please Eric." He nodded and held her up for Pam to take, Pam spoke quietly to her in the ear while walking to the nursery.
Sookie came in and she was yawning too, she put her hand over her mouth and blinked. "Oh, sorry sweetie, I don't know why I am so tired."
"My daughter was doing the same thing." He grinned and pulled her close to him to kiss her. "How about the two of us call it a night, would you like that?"
"Eric, don't you have work to do? I want to be on track to head home on Sunday." She gave him the don't cross me look.
He chuckled. "You and my children will be on the plane to leave then my love. Do not worry."
"Did you test her Eric?" Sookie looked at him concerned.
Eric nodded. "Yes, she claims she does not hear Pam's thoughts. That in itself is a good thing." Eric chuckled, Sookie giggled.
"Yeah, that wouldn't be a good role model not would it?" Sookie smiled and leaned into his arms.
"I take offense to that! I can teach that little girl all kinds of things." Pam purred.
Nigel stepped in the living room. "Pamela, if I find you have taught her anything but what a little girl should know you and I will fight to our final deaths. Do you understand me?"
Everyone looked at Nigel. Eric asked the ladies to excuse them. Sookie and Pam left the males alone. "Nigel, what is this about?"
He shook his head. "Eric, I do not know. It is like I must protect her. I do not understand it myself."
Eric nodded. "I understand the feeling but you cannot alienate everyone Nigel."
Nigel stared into space. "I know and I am sorry. I will apologize to Pamela." Eric smiled. "Yes, well that one we can leave alone. I do not want my daughter to know a fraction of the things Pam knows." Both laughed. "I am going to bed. Wake me if there is any issues alright?" Nigel nodded to Eric and stood as his King left them.
Sookie was already in the bed, she had the covers pulled up, she was in her pajamas tonight. Eric knew she was tired and just wanted to be comfortable. He climbed into bed with her, her eyes were half closed. "Good night my angel."
Moving closer she cuddled next to Eric. "Night Eric, I love you so much." She yawned.
"My, you are tired. Close your eyes and sleep. I will listen for Gunnar alright?" He kissed the top of her head and she nodded then thanked him. She was out like a light. Eric held her and fell asleep next to her.
