So glad everyone liked the last chapter. I keep trying to tell you there is a meaning to my madness! LOL
I really appreciate all the reviews, your encouragement keeps me writing, it really does. I get inspired with every one I read. I giggle and think "They like it!" When I started this story it was just going to be a few chapters, something short and final but some how it turned into this whole world that Eric and Sookie live in. I know I will have to eventually come up with some great Tada but right now I am enjoying coming up with things for these two.
Poor Eric, I do so love torturing him!
Let me know what you think!

Chapter 76
The rest of the week flew fast, Sookie went to sleep on Saturday night and was happy to have made it through the week without any blood shed or some catastrophic event. She closed her eyes that night to sleep, Eric laying next to her, his arms around her. This was the safest place in the world she thought as she drifted to sleep.
Sookie was standing in a the prettiest church she had ever seen, she turned, all of her family and friends were sitting in pews behind her. Sookie saw Eric, he was standing in the back with a woman in wedding gown, he had the strangest look on his face, almost like he was being tortured. Sookie didn't not understand, she called out to him. "Eric, where are we?" Eric ignored her. As she turned to the alter she saw the creature standing there, waiting for his bride to come to him. Sookie turned again, she heard the wedding march, Eric and the woman in the veil began to walk down the isle. Sookie narrowed her eyes to get a better look. Sookie recognized the face, it was so much like her face. It was her daughter…."Erika! Erika!"
"Sookie, darling. Wake up, you are dreaming." Eric spoke sleepily to her.
Sookie blinked. "I am sorry I woke you Eric."
"What were you dreaming about my love?" Eric stared at her. He could feel through the bond the dream was really emotional, her heart was beating fast and she was upset and concerned.
Faking a yawn Sookie leaned into him. "I am tired Eric, can we go back to sleep?"
Eric knew there was more going on but he wouldn't press it. He pulled her to him and they fell back to sleep.
Sookie was sitting on the edge of the bed when he woke, she had her head in her hands. "Sookie, what is wrong?"
Slowly she turned to him. "Nothing, I just didn't get a whole lot of sleep."
He leaned over and pulled her to lay down, his face hovered over hers. "Tell me what is wrong."
"I just had a dream that woke me up." She pushed him back and stood up. "I have to feed Gunnar sweetie, he is waiting." Smiling she wrapped her robe around her and went to the nursery. Eric laid and stared at the door she just exited.
Gunnar was alone in the nursery when Sookie went in. "Hi pumpkin!" She smiled and leaned over the crib. He was sitting up, his little hands holding the bars of the crib. "Are you ready for breakfast?" Her son was smiling, his fangs down. "Ok, come on." She picked him up and went to sit in the chair to feed him. Opening her robe, she put the baby to her chest, he latched on, his fangs went right into her skin. "Gunnar, easy now."
"Hey Sook." Amelia walked in with a sleeping Adam. "I am just going to put him down." She looked at Sookie who just smiled. Amelia leaned over the crib and put him in, covered him and looked at her friend. "What's wrong?"
She shook her head. "I cant even say it out loud. If Eric hears or senses it he is going to go ballistic." Sookie's face was tormented, Amelia sat next to her in the chair.
"Sookie, you need to tell me what it is. Your scaring me." Amelia looked at her friend, grabbed her arm and squeezed.
Nodding Sookie knew if she talked to Amelia about it she could work it out in her head, figure out the best solution. Just as she went to open her mouth Eric came in. "Hello Amelia." He smiled at her. "Sookie, is everything alright?" He knew something was up and he needed to find out what it was.
Smiling she nodded. "Were just girl talking sweetie. Babies, bottles. You know."
Eric nodded, he wasn't convinced. "I will be in the office if you need me alright?" She thanked him and waited until he was gone.
"Ok, spill it." Amelia looked at her friend. Sookie told her the dream, she even described what everyone was wearing, her sons, they were grown, sitting in the pew in the front. Amelia blinked, she was speechless for a moment. "Wow, you saw him? Are you sure it was him?"
Sookie put her hand over her face. "I cant tell Eric, he will kill him."
"No, you cant. If he gets wind of it, yeah he will kill him. Can I talk to Alcide about it? Get his opinion?" Amelia looked her friend in the face.
"I don't know…." Sookie looked down at Gunnar and switched sides. His fangs went in that side too.
Amelia shook her head. "Then you come talk to him with me. Sookie, it could just be a dream, no big deal. But if it is a premonition we need to be prepared. You know how Eric feels about Erika."
"Soon as Gunnar is done eating. Will you find Alcide and ask him to meet us in the conference room?" Sookie looked like she wanted to cry.
Sookie finished feeding Gunnar, put him the crib because he had fallen back to sleep. She found Lily and updated her on the baby, said good morning to her oldest three and went to find Amelia and Alcide. They were standing in the conference room when she walked in. "Sookie, what the hell is going on? Amelia pulled me out of a phone conference."
"Alcide, I am sorry." She looked at Amelia. "We could have waited."
"No we couldn't. If Eric gets wind of this first we are going to have a war on our hands." Amelia was adamant, her hands were on her hips.
"Will some just tell me what the fuck this is about!" Alcide yelled at them both.
Sookie frowned. "Listen, I had a dream. I don't know if it is a dream or a premonition." She began to tell him the story, she told him the details, just like she had Amelia.
"Sookie, are you sure you just eat something, you know what they say? You eat something and it causes weird dreams?" Alcide was shocked at what she had said.
"No! I didn't eat anything. Alcide, do I tell him? You have to help me!" Sookie looked at him, she was desperate.
Alcide nodded. "You have to Sookie, you throw it in his face whenever he keeps something from you, what's fair is you tell him. There is nothing set in stone, he will just build that dungeon he has been talking about." Alcide smirked at the ladies. "Sorry, I don't mean to make light of it, I mean it, he is going to go ape shit when he finds out you had a dream about Princess and her wedding."
"Your right. I have to tell him." She looked around. "Wish me luck." Turning she went to take the elevator to Eric's office. He was on the phone when she went in. Eric smiled to her and patted his knee for her sit there. She reluctantly did it. When his hands went around her waist and rested on her belly she wanted to cry.
He said goodbye and set his phone down. Eric turned her around to look at him. "Sookie, tell me what is wrong, you have me worried now? Are we pregnant and you are afraid to tell me?"
Her hand went to her face and she took a couple deep breaths. "No, it isn't that. I mean, I don't know if we are pregnant." She sighed and looked at him. "Eric, I have to tell you something. You have to promise you wont get upset ok."
"Sookie you need to tell me what it is, now." Eric's patience was now gone.
"We have no secrets and I don't feel right not telling you so I am going to tell you about the dream I had. The one that woke me up last night." She stopped and looked at him.
"You said it was odd." He looked at her.
She nodded. "Yes, I am sure it is just a dream Eric, I want you to promise me you wont get upset or I cant tell you.""Sookie, I will only get upset if it has something to do with your safety." She looked at him. He closed his eyes and looked at her. "Fine, I promise I will not get upset."
"Eric, the dream I had I was standing in a church. It was a beautiful church, I have never been to it. We all were there, all of our family, our sons were grown. We were at a wedding." She stopped and looked at Eric, his fangs came down, she could feel the anxiety filling the bond. "It was Erika's wedding. You were walking her down the isle."
He sat perfectly still for a moment, he began to growl and then he stood her up and moved around the desk. His hands went to his desk, he held on to it for support. "Tell me who it was."
"Eric, no. I am not going to tell you that." She went to stand next to him. "I cant do that."
"You will tell me, you know the creature that thinks he will take my daughter from us, do you not?" He was seething now.
"Sweetie, we talked about this, she will grow up, find love, move on with her life. Don't you want her to have what we have? To have someone to love her like you love me?" Sookie was trying to talk sense into him.
He shook his head. "I, nor my sons will never allow anyone to touch her!" Eric's head began to get dizzy, he needed to sit. He leaned up against the desk. "She is my daughter Sookie, my only daughter. It is my job to protect her."
"Her falling in love and marrying is part of her Eric. We cant keep her from that, do you want her to be alone in life, not have anyone to love her? What if she can have babies? Wouldn't that be wonderful, we can have grandbabies?" Sookie was crying now, her heart broke for Eric, his resistance for his daughter to grow up and for her only daughter, the life she could have and Eric didn't want to let her live.
It was too much for him. He was breaking in two thinking about it. "I need some air." He was gone in a flash. Sookie sat roughly in the chair and wiped her face. Their bond was flailing around her, she could feel all the pain he had, he loved Erika so much and only wanted to keep her safe and protected. Sookie picked up Eric's phone and dialed Alcide, he was the only one that could talk to him about this.
Alcide found him on the roof of the building, he was looking down as the city went past them. "Hey Eric."
Eric turned his head slightly then turned back to look out again. "Sookie refused to tell me who it is."
Alcide smiled, she was protecting the creature, she had some balls Alcide thought. "I don't think it is a good idea to tell you right now anyway, at least until you've cooled off."
"Do you know?" Eric turned to his friend. Alcide nodded. Eric hissed. "Great."
"Eric, Sookie is only trying to keep the peace. She is heartbroken about having to tell you any of it. She knows that she had to tell you, she cant keep it from you. Give her a break." Alcide went to stand next to him.
"What if it was your daughter Alcide?" Eric voice was almost a whisper.
He looked out onto the city, even in the day it was magnificent. "I will probably be just as upset as you. It is different with fathers and their daughters. Just the thought of them finding a mate can drive a father crazy, but we cant control it Eric. The dream Sookie had could be just that, a dream. Did you think about that?"
Eric liked the bubble of denial he lived in and he wanted that back. "Your right, it could be just a dream. It is not set in stone, anything could happen to change it." His mood changed instantly. "I will hire extra security for her, only woman. Send her to an all girl school. No, wait. I will take her to Sweden, to the country." Eric's mind was going a mile a minute.
"Stop thinking about it, it is going to drive you crazy." Alcide smirked, Eric wanted to wring his friends neck.
Eric knew exactly how to pay him back. "The baby you and Amelia are having is a girl. I cannot wait until you have this same conversation with Amelia." Eric grinned and walked away.
Alcide stood smiling. "A girl." It took him a second. "Shit! Amelia!"
Sookie had the house moving at warp speed, everyone was packed, the staff were moving the luggage to its place at the front door. Mark took control, he had things moving as they should be. Eric went to find her, she was thanking some of the staff at the residence. "Sookie, are we ready to go?" Eric couldn't focus on anything else, he just wanted to take his family home.
Smiling she walked over to him. "Yes, we will be ready to leave in thirty minutes, Lily is sitting with the kids in the living room, they are ready. Amelia has Adam and Alcide ready. All the staff is packed. Our vampires are already home in their travel coffins. Luggage is moved to the plane. We are ahead of schedule!" She grinned.
He smiled at her too. "Thank you my love for taking care of this." Eric walked to her and hugged her, his chin rested on the top of her head. "I do not wish to talk about it now, we can when we get home, alright?" He pulled her back and looked at her, she nodded. Eric leaned down and kissed her until she pulled back to breathe. "I love you." Turning he went to finish his packing.
Amelia passed him as he walked out, she smiled and went to Sookie. "Ok, he isn't full of blood?"
"I didn't tell him who it was. We cant, lets just let him process this, I don't know if I can ever tell him. If anyone should be upset it should be me! I haven't even discussed that with him yet." Sookie turned to get the kids toys picked up.
"Why should you be mad at him?" Amelia turned her head and looked at her funny.
Sookie shook her head and laughed. "I saw the pew Amelia, the first pew was full of my sons! I saw them, they all look like Eric, everyone of them had his eyes. Those were my boys!"
Amelia burst out laughing. "You know how many now?"
"You think it is funny? Remember I have a son that grant wishes. I think I might just send some your way!" Sookie burst out laughing at Amelia's face, she laughed too.
"Ready ladies?" Mark asked from the door.
Sookie looked at Amelia. "Ready to go home mommy?" Sookie grinned.
"Yes, I think I need to pack and move to Alaska when we get home." They both giggled and head toward the door.
They got on the plane, everyone took their seats. The kids were buckled in and across the isle like they always were. The plane was in the air before Sookie had a moment to look at Eric. His eyes locked in on his children. Sookie took his hand and held it, she pushed support, comfort and love to him. His face turned to her, he held her hand tighter and smiled.
Conversation was light on the plane. The kids fell asleep, Alcide, Mark and Eric talked security and Amelia and Sookie napped. The plane was on the ground before Sookie woke. "Lover, we are home." He was slightly smiling at her.
Sookie nodded and sat up straight, her kids were up, Lily was talking to the four of them softly. When the plane was on the ground they unloaded and head home. Sookie was thrilled to be going home, she enjoyed traveling but she loved her home in Shreveport. It kept her family grounded, she knew it did. When they were in the house, the kids were taken to the nursery, Sookie took Gunnar and went to the living room to nurse him. He was half way through eating, his little face sleepy when Eric came in and sat next to her. "Hey sweetie."
"How is he?" Eric touched his sons head then took his little hand and kissed it.
She grinned. "He is doing great. Aren't you pumpkin?" Sookie looked up at Eric. "How are you?"
He nodded. "I am well."
"I know you are well Eric. I am talking about the dream." She kept her eyes on him.
He looked at Gunnar as he spoke. "I need a little more time to process it."
"Ok, but I am here Eric. If you want to talk about it. I love you." She leaned over and they kissed until Gunnar pulled away from her and giggled.
"Daddy kissing mommy makes you laugh my son? Remember kissing a pretty girl is always a fine way to spend the day." Eric grinned at his son, leaned over and kissed the top of his head.
Sookie shook her head. "If it makes you feel any better I saw the pew of our sons Eric."
His face quickly came up. "You did?"
She smiled and nodded. "I think Troops really doesn't cover it, now does it?"
He burst out laughing causing Gunnar to laugh too. "Yes, mommy is funny, is she not my vampire?"
Mark appeared in the doorway. "Eric, I need to speak to you." Sookie looked up, Mark, Tray, Gary and Stephen were behind him.
Eric leaned over, kissed Sookie then leaned to his son. "Be a good boy for mommy."
Gunnar stopped eating again to squeal. Sookie smiled and shook her head. "Tell daddy we will see him later, say bye daddy."
"Ba da." Gunnar smiled then started to eat again. Eric sat shocked, he grinned big and got up.
"Bye my son, I love you." Eric smiled at Sookie and left.
Sookie looked down on Gunnar. "You are a ham, just like your sister." Sookie kissed him softly, his face eased and he fell asleep.
Mark stepped into the foyer with Eric. "Trackers have picked up new scents. They believe there were at least four. Stephen is out there now." Mark looked around. "Our issue from Bon Temps was taken care of."
Eric nodded. "Good, now make these disappear as well." Mark nodded and strode out the front door.
Gary walked in the back door and walked toward Sookie. "Hello my Queen, I am looking for the King."
Sookie smiled. "Hey Gary, Eric's in the foyer." She pointed behind her. He smiled and walked to find him.
Eric was turning to walk away. "Excuse me Eric." Gary nodded to Eric.
"Yes Gary?" Eric stopped in his tracks.
"We have found six sets of tracks. There are some silver gun shells on the ground as well." Gary almost hissed he was so mad.
Nodding Eric spoke. "Can we find them?"
"I have Ted and a team out now. I believe we have a thumb print on one of the shells. I have them running it. If we find out who it belongs to we can have this handled by days end." Gary was confident it would be done quickly.
"Keep me posted." Eric nodded to the Were and went to his office. He knew he had some outside meeting today but he quickly cancelled. There was no way he was leaving his family alone until they had a handle on the FoTS situation.
Eric was in his office the rest of the morning and into the early evening when Sookie came in with Enar. She had their son on her hip, a True Blood in her hand. "Eric, take a break, you have been working all day." She smiled, walked around the desk sitting the blood in front of him.
Her husband smiled wide at them. "What is this? I got a visitor?" Eric reached up and took Enar. "How is the Warrior today?" Eric could tell Enar was getting sleepy, his head went to Eric's chest and he sighed against his father. Narrowing his eyes Eric looked at Sookie. "Is he alright?"
She smiled. "He is tired. The kids took their nap, he didn't want to go down so I have kept him with me for a while. I think he is about ready, aren't you baby?"
Enar cuddled closer to Eric and whimpered. Eric looked up at Sookie, nicked his finger and put it in his sons mouth. Enar relaxed and sucked on his father's finger. "Well, that may have been a bit of it, yes?" Enar's eyes closed and Eric grinned.
Sookie sat on the end of the desk, she had changed from her sun dress to shorts and a Fangtasia t-shirt. "Yep, daddy always knows what his Warrior needs huh?" Sookie leaned over and kissed Eric. "Listen, I just wanted to let you know I have put all the appearances after the ones I have set up on hold. I don't want to make any plans so far out. I hope you wont be upset with me for doing that."
"Sookie, will you let me call the doctor?" He hugged Enar closer.
She smiled and shook her head. "No, not unless we have symptoms. I haven't had any since the other morning and I feel fine."
Eric's head came up. "You are having morning sickness?" His fangs popped.
"No, I said I had one morning I didn't feel good. I could just been tired. I have felt fine ever since. Lets just hold off on the doctor. Worse comes to worse we can take one of those hundreds of tests you keep stashed." She grinned at him.
"That would not be a bad idea. The sooner we know….." Eric started to say.
"Will you put the baby down when he falls asleep? I need to call the Governor of Texas." She put her bare feet back on the floor. "Ok?"He nodded and let her get to the door. "We are on schedule for that visit correct?"
"Yep, I just need to contact him about food preferences and just let him know we will be there next weekend. We are still going, right?" Her eyes searched his face.
"We are. It will be our first family appearance in the human world, then we have many things planned after. I look forward to it." He smiled.
She laughed. "I will talk to you in a bit." He watched her walk out of the office.
It was after dinner and Eric found his wife and kids watching 'Monsters vs. Aliens'. The kids were laughing at a part as he came to sit next to them. He picked Johan up, he was snuggled next to Sookie and sat him on his lap. Eric wrapped his arm around Sookie, Enar and Erika were between them, Gunnar was at Sookie's breast eating. Eric leaned to her and whispered. "I have missed you."
She turned and smiled. "Behave." She looked down at the kids.
He grinned, pulled the kids closer and settled in for the rest of the movie. Erika loved it, she giggled and pointed, pulling on Eric to talk to him about a scene. Enar and Johan were sound asleep by the end. They took the kids to their room, put them down and Eric got Sookie settled in bed. "Angel, I need to check on things before we rest for the night." Smiling she told him to go and he went to find Nigel. Eric found him on the far part of the property by the stables.
"Hello Eric." Nigel looked at his seriously.
He nodded to the vampire. "What do we know?""Thumb print came back, we have our special ops on their way now." Nigel's fangs popped and he grinned.
"Excellent, let me know when its done." Eric turned to walk away.
Nigel stopped him. "Eric, they are striking against Sookie, we need to finish this quickly."
Eric turned to look at him. "Yes, we have already figured that out. I believe they think I will not retaliate, that is their foolish mistake."
"I will deal with it. Do not worry, it will be done by dawn.' Nigel hissed.
"Thank you. Call me if anything else comes up." Nigel told him he would contact him immediately, Eric was in the house and up the stairs in a flash.
Sookie was sitting up reading. "Hey sweetie."
He smiled, she had not read in a while, he knew she enjoyed it and was glad to see her doing it. "Are you reading anything good?" He took off his clothes and climbed into bed.
"Nothing I can share." She grinned.
"You do not wish to read some of it to me?" Eric's fangs popped as he got in the bed.
She blushed. "How about I just tell you what I want to do to you? That isn't fiction." She leaned over, put the book down and slipped out of her robe, throwing it on the floor, his wife was nude under it.
Eric burst out laughing, "No, that surely is not. What I want to do to you is far from more x rated lover." He pulled her down and under him. "This, right here, looking down on your face as I make love to you is a gift Sookie. Do you know how much I desire you?"
She giggled. "Gracious plenty sure is sending the message loud and clear." Her hand went down to take him in her hand, his eyes closed. "I love touching you Eric. You are so sexy." Her mouth went to his as she stroked his cock. Her husband moaned into her mouth as she caressed him. "You feel so good, just the contact of your skin against mine makes me wet." His phone began to ring, he growled loudly. Sookie laughed and released him. "You better answer it sweetie."
He looked at her. "Don't stop Sookie, please." She rolled him over, grabbed his phone and handed it to him. Sookie moved down his body and put his length in her mouth.
"Northman." His voice was crackled, his wife's warm mouth moved up and down on him quickly. He wanted to call out but he controlled himself.
Nigel chuckled. "Eric, it is done. There were ten."
Eric moved the phone away from his face, he was so close. "Do you need me?" His eyes were closed.
"No, but we will need to see what you want done with the leader." Nigel hissed.
Eric took a second, his brain wasn't working with her mouth on him like this, his hands went into her hair to push her farther down, she giggled against him and began moving faster. "Um, just take them to Fangtasia. You and Pam handle it." He groaned, he couldn't help it, she was magnificent.
Nigel burst out laughing, he knew Eric was busy with Sookie, he just wanted to make him crazy. "Do you wish us to take care of it tonight?"
"Nigel! I do not care! Handle it!" He threw his phone on the floor. "Oh God Sookie!" His hips came up meeting her mouth as she moved up and down on him. "Yes! Yes! Take me in your beautiful mouth my love! Yeeeeeesssss Sooookiiiieeeee!" Her husband came in her mouth, she took every drop he had to offer and leaned up from his crotch and grinned.
"Liked that sweetie?" She smiled.
His arms went down, he pulled her up to his face. "You are incredible." He began to kiss her, just as he found his rhythm Sookie pulled up. "What is it Sookie?"
"The baby, he is crying." She got up, put her robe on and left him laying on the bed with a serious hard on. Eric got up, put his jeans on and went to the nursery. She had the baby on her shoulder rubbing his back, he was calming down. "He's ok." Turning she looked at him.
"Is he hungry?" Eric asked.
"No, I think he just needed his mommy and daddy. Didn't you pumpkin?" Eric walked to them and Gunnar was almost back to sleep. "Go ahead and go back to bed. I will be there in just a minute ok?"
He kissed the baby, checked the twins and then came back to kiss Sookie. "I will be waiting my love." Eric wasn't out of the room when the boom of the explosion hit the outside of the house. Sookie instantly threw her light up over her kids, Eric was gone like a shot, returning with Johan. "Sookie, downstairs!" Holding onto Johan Eric got Enar, Sookie took Erika and Gunnar, they were heading down the stairs as fast as possible. There was another boom and by the time is was over Eric had his family in the light tight shelter downstairs and Eric closed the door. The house erupted with vampires and guards, there were no more booms, the vampires already had the culprits. Eric was out the backdoor, on the property with sword in hand. Nigel was to him in an instant. "Where are they?"
Nigel turned, the guards were dragging four men toward them. "Only one is alive. We need at least one."
Eric rushed to the guards. "Transport the one to Fangtasia, the rest dispose of." Eric turned to Nigel. "How did this happen?"
Mark was on them. "They used a rocket launcher." His face was beat red with anger.
"Are we sure we got them all here?" Eric nodded to the four men on the ground in front of him.
"Yes, there are no more tracks. They stayed far enough back to not be detected, that is how they were able to get the explosive over the fence and do little damage, their range was too far out." Mark nodded to the dozens of guards that were going all different directions. "So far no structural damage to the house. I have the Johnson brothers on their way."
Eric nodded. "Alright, can I let me family out of downstairs?"
"Wait until we clear the back property, we have the Were's out there now." Nigel said to the group.
Alcide was running their way. "What the hell happened?"
Eric updated him on what happened. Alcide turned to Eric. "Do you need me to call more guards in?"
"No, I believe Mark and Nigel have it under control." Eric frowned. "I am going to get my family down for the night. Call me immediately if you need me or there is any changes." Eric was gone in a flash. When he was back inside he keyed in the code, opened the door and was down the stairs in a flash, the kids were all sleeping, Gunnar was eating. Sookie was leaned up against the headboard, her eyes closed. He was glad she wasn't upset or panicking.
"I knew you were fine out there, I felt you anger but that was why I didn't freak out." Her eyes opened and she looked at him. "Are we ok?"
He nodded and rushed to her. "Yes, we have gotten them, most are dead."
Sookie winced, blood shed she hated but sometimes she knew it had to happen. "Good. Were they trying to hit the house?" She was sure they were.
"We believe so, they tried twice." He came to sit next to her, he kissed his children.
"Who are they?" Sookie thought she knew but she wanted to be sure.
He hissed, not only because of who they were but he had to worry her with this. "Fellowship of the Sun."
She took his hand and looked him right in the eye. "I am fine sweetie, don't worry. I don't want you to think I am going to fall apart. We will do what we need to do, whatever we need to do." Her eyes began to glow.
Eric smirked. "You have come along way my love." He leaned and kissed her. "Yes, we are already handling it. We have the trackers out, the intruders from the other day have disappeared." He grinned.
"Good, I don't want anyone to hurt our kids Eric. I know you wont let them." She moved Gunnar to the other nipple.
Eric put his hand on his vampire sons head. "No, I will do everything I can to keep our family safe." He looked at the sleeping children. "Shall we take them up?"
She shook her head. "Can we just sleep down here? It will be easier in case there is something else tonight and we can all be together."
He smiled. "Of course my love. Lets get you comfortable." Her husband pulled the covers back and leaned over to kiss her. "Let me run up and get Gunnar's crib."
"No, he can lay with us. You will keep an eye on him, I know you will spend the night watching us instead of sleeping." Her hand went to his face, she cupped his cheek. "Even though I want you to hold me and our babies."
Eric took off his boots and stood up. He went to the dresser and took out a pair of jogging shorts, took his t-shirt and jeans off and put the shorts on. "I am not going anywhere unless there is an emergency Sookie." Grabbing his phone out of his pocket he called Nigel. "We will be in our light tight room downstairs for the night. Keep me posted." Hanging the phone up he set it on the stand next to them and got in the bed. Eric gently moved his children to center of the huge bed between he and Sookie. Eric took her hand, their fingers entwined and they closed their eyes to sleep.
