WARNING! ADULT CONTENT AND LEMONS
Chapter 80
"Your children are well advanced and seem to keep moving quickly in their growth. Why are you concerned about this Sookie? You know they are magical and with their mixed genetics this was expected." Dr. Ludwig frowned.
"Johan is growing so fast, the twins too. Gunnar is talking, walking, flying. They just keep getting smarter and taller. Will they get old fast or will it taper off?" Sookie was holding Eric's hands on the couch, she looked at him concerned.
Claude smiled. "Sookie, the Fae advance quickly as infants but when they mature time slows to almost to a stop. It is the magic in them."
"Sookie, you have been worried about this for months, I thought we put this to rest." Dr. Ludwig looked at her concerned.
"I just know that human kids cant do the things my kids do, I know in my mind they are special but in my heart they are just babies." She shook her head.
Claude held Erika on his lap, she leaned up against his chest. "Sookie, Johan will be three years old in a few months. All your kids will grow like this." Gunnar walked to stand next to his sister and took her hand.
Eric smiled, his vampire son loved his sister. "Sookie, what is all of this about?"
She stood up and paced. "I don't know, I am just worried."
"Your kids are happy, healthy, growing. These are the firsts of their kind Sookie, we will have to gauge as we go. They would be considered geniuses in the human world. They are supe's Sookie. Stop fussing about it and enjoy them." Dr. Ludwig stood up and looked her up and down. "Lets go up and check you out little one."
Sookie gave her a look then nodded. "Is our bedroom ok?" The doctor told her it was fine.
Eric stood up and watched his wife and the doctor head up the stairs. He knew it was just a check up, they were doing this once a month now for the last few months and Sookie still showed no signs of being pregnant. He was concerned but he knew when the time was right it would happen. "Crane? Are you working with them today further?"
Sookie's Fae cousin smiled. "Yes, Johan and I are working on sparing today, then I think Enar could use some follow up."
Reaching down Eric picked Gunnar up. "Come Vampire, lets let your siblings work and we will take a nap. What do you think of that?"
Gunnar smiled, he looked just like Eric when he smiled. "Ok, daddy."
"She is really upset about this baby thing isn't she?" Claude nodded toward her.
Eric watched his wife and the doctor walk up the stairs, he nodded. "She thinks her fertility is shut off. I keep telling her it will happen, she is just concerned."
"Any other woman would be running to the hill, four kids in four years. Not my cousin!" Claude laughed. Eric and Claude's relationship had improved over the last few months, he had proven to Eric he wanted to help Sookie and help his children. Eric never thought the day would come he could actually have a civil conversation with Crane and not want to drain him.
Eric laughed too. "Yes, she is one of a kind. Let me know how my sons do." Eric turned to take Gunnar to put in the nursery, he walked the baby to his crib, he was all alone in the room now, the twins moved to their own rooms. "Time for a nap Vampire. Daddy loves you, close your eyes and sleep." Gunnar did what his father told him to do and Eric rubbed his belly before turning away to go to his wife. The last few months she was worried, he knew why. They hadn't got pregnant again and even though she didn't talk to him about it he knew that was bothering her. He smiled thinking about her, she had gotten so strong and powerful over the last six months, she attended function after function, helped with fundraisers, always on the phone or computer with a vampire Kingdom. She had even started helping Alcide and Amelia with some issues the pack leader was having with his Were's.
Sookie was sitting on the bed when he went into the bedroom, she was on the phone. "Call me if you need anything Amelia. I just wanted to make sure you were ok." Sookie smiled, listened and hung up the phone.
"How is baby Allison?" Eric asked as he took off his shirt.
"Look at the picture Amelia just sent. Isn't Allie adorable?" Sookie smiled as she held her iphone up to show him the picture.
Eric grinned. "Good thing she looks like her mother."
"Eric! Alcide is handsome and you know it." Sookie laid back on the bed and closed her eyes.
Eric shook his head and ignored the statement. "Is Amelia feeling better?" Eric asked.
Nodding her head she opened her eyes. "Yeah, her blood pressure is better now. Boy, that little baby gave us a scare didn't she?"
"That is common with Were children Sookie. They usually don't make it." Eric climbed in next to her with just his jeans on.
"I am just glad she did. I think Enar had something to do with that one." Sookie frowned.
"I agree, the Warrior was very concerned about Amelia and the baby near the end. I know he did what his heart told him to do." Eric reached over and pulled her close. "Lover, what did the doctor say?"
She looked up and smiled. "I am healthy."
Eric nodded. "Sookie, we have four babies, if we never have another than we are still blessed."
"I know." She leaned against him.
He needed to distract her. "Maybe we just need more time. You have been very busy, the children have taken a lot of your time plus all of you Queen responsibilities."
Sookie clicked her tongue. "I was just concerned, we have tried so hard to get pregnant."
Eric burst out laughing. "No harder than usual my love."
"Sorry, I don't mean to be so crazy about it. I am a little on edge about the kids, maybe my nerves are getting to me." She hugged him tighter.
"Our children have gifts Sookie, they are growing quickly, I am astounded by what they can do, what they say, how quickly they learn. We are supe's Sookie. The doctor was right when she said we have no gauge as to what our children are capable of because they each are one of a kind." He smiled into her hair, he wanted to ease her mind about this.
"Your right, I am letting it go." She blew out her breath and smiled. "Enough of my obsessing."
Eric rolled his eyes. "Sure."
"You don't believe me?" She was offended. "I am letting it go."
"Close your eyes Sookie, you were up early with that conference call. You need a nap." Eric kissed her again.
"Keep that up and I wont go to sleep." She closed her eyes and let sleep take her.
When Eric was sure she was asleep he got up and went put his t-shirt back on. He headed downstairs, he wanted to see his son in action. Crane and Johan were standing across from each other, both held their swords high in the air, the metal quickly started clashing against the others. Eric smiled, he didn't want to distract his son so he just watched from the inside of the house. Eric could see the slight grin on Claude's face, he was enjoying spending time with the children and Eric loved to watch his sons fight. Enar was sitting watching stoically from the chair. Eric couldn't believe how his children had grown, both sons were getting tall and lanky. Johan was so thoughtful, caring. Enar had the heart of a warrior, Eric felt it more and more every day. He would enjoy taking his sons into battle with him when the time came.
"They are amazing Eric." Alcide said to him from behind him.
Eric turned slightly and smirked. "Yes, they are." Eric moved to look his friend in the face. "Amelia is feeling better I hope?"
Alcide nodded. "Yeah, she is much better. Allie is so little but she is healthy and strong, just like her mama." Eric watched Alcide's face beam with pride. "She scared the shit out of me."
"I know the feeling. I had flash backs of when Sookie was like that, bleeding and pale. I am just glad we got her to the doctor in time." Eric moved to sit so he could watch his sons.
"Thanks for that Eric, I never would have left her alone if I thought something like that would happen. I mean I was only gone two nights but I guess we should have been prepared for Allie to come early." Alcide frowned.
"She will be fine Alcide, both of them. She has the best supe doctor money can buy and my family wont let anything happen to either of them." Eric recalled two nights ago, Amelia sitting at their kitchen table eating dinner with the family. Alcide went to Dallas, he left Amelia home because the doctor didn't want her traveling, Sookie insisted Amelia stay with them while Alcide was gone. When Amelia clutched her belly and the blood came Eric almost lost it, it was like watching Sookie all over again. Amelia lost so much blood before they got her to the hospital it was touch and go for a bit but Eric knew his son did his magic. Amelia was up and the baby was healthy, all was right in the world.
"Everything is taken care of in Dallas." Alcide said quietly.
Eric nodded. "One less issue. The Governor has been a huge help, which I appreciate." Turning he looked Alcide in the eye. "All tracks have been covered?"
"Not a soul to be found." Alcide smirked. It had been all over the news, the congregation had a meeting two nights ago, family and friends met at the church, not one of them ever made it home. Eric made sure to cover his tracks and those who took care of the mission for him. This was a big accomplishment but he wanted the remaining members to know that even sitting in a church their lives were in danger and he would go to any length to keep his family safe. "No one is talking, I believe we made ourselves very clear to the main players."
Enar moved to the spot his older brother was standing now, his arms held up the smaller sword Crane handed to him. "Just what my intent was with this. I was counting on them coming to their senses."
"I am heading home to check on Amelia and the baby. See you later." Alcide turned and headed out the door. Eric sat watching his son, he could see Erika sitting in the grass with Lily. She was smiling at something the two of them were talking about, his daughter made him very happy.
Johan rushed in the house at vampire speed leaving the rest of them outside. "Daddy, do you see us?"
Eric held his arms out for his son to come to him, he sat him on his lap. "Yes, you are doing wonderfully. I am very proud of you both."
"Are we still going riding today?" Johan never forgot a thing Eric ever told him, they had talked about riding the previous weekend and Eric purposely cleared his schedule to be home today to meet with the doctor and take his son riding.
Pretending to contemplate it Eric smiled. "Maybe."
"Daddy, I know we are going. Lets wait until mommy gets up, she said she wanted to go too." Johan smirked.
"How about we let mommy rest and you and I will go out now?" Eric put Johan on the floor then stood.
Johan gave his father a look Eric was familiar with, it was his own face staring back at him, one of disapproval. Eric laughed and shook his head. Johan spoke firmly. "Fine, but if mommy gets mad….."
"What will mommy get mad about?" Sookie asked from the doorway as she walked in.
"We are going to the stables, Johan thought you wanted to join us and I told him to let you sleep." Eric looked at her. "Why are you not in bed?"
"I heard the swords, I wanted to see is everyone was ok." She frowned.
Eric chuckled. "Sookie, go back to bed, our children are fine."
Sookie ignored him and looked at Johan. "Baby, go ahead and go with daddy, mommy is going to lay back down for a little while, I will go another time."
"Johan, please go out with Lily and your siblings for a moment, I will be out shortly." Eric looked at Sookie while he spoke. Johan looked at his parents then left. "Sookie, please go and lay down to rest. You are beginning to worry me."
She smiled and on the couch. "I will, I am just a little grumpy."
He snickered, if that was the proper word for her mood, he thought to himself. His usual sweet and loving southern belle was a tad moody. He walked to the couch and sat next to her. "I can help get your mind off it." His eyebrows wiggled at her.
Laughing she leaned on his shoulder. "No, we have a date tonight, remember. I want to go out, tease you until you rip my clothes off in some dark ally."
Pulling her into his lap he kissed her neck. "Yes, that does sound better does it not?"
"Go, the Prince is waiting." Sookie could see her son periodically look toward the house waiting for Eric to come out.
"He is too smart even for us." Eric grinned.
Sookie giggled. "He is just like you, you have no one to blame but yourself." Eric stood, told her he would see her later and left her alone on the couch. Sookie laughed and got off the couch to go back upstairs to take a nap, she couldn't wait until this evening.
"Sookie, time to wake up." Eric gently rubbed her face.
She opened her eyes half way and looked at him. "What time is it?"
"It is after five. We have dinner reservations." He kissed her shoulder.
Sitting up on her elbows she tried to remember what he was talking about. "Oh, I forgot." Yawning she got out of the bed.
"Maybe it is best if we stay home." Eric said sternly from where he sat on the side of the bed.
"No, you promised. We have worked, traveled, taken care of the kids. You said we could have one night out, things with the FoTS are under control. I am holding you to it Eric Northman." She grinned.
He nodded. "Do you want to shower together?"
She put her index finger to her lips and looked up as to think about it. "I think we will skip shower sex. I am still rooting for the ally sex." Sookie laughed and went to the bathroom to start the water.
Eric sat where he was, his wife was something else. She knew just what to say to him to get him going. Closing his eyes he concentrated on keeping his calm. He made some phone calls, checked his emails on his phone while he waited for Sookie to get through in the bathroom. She stepped out with a towel around her body and one on her head. He watched her walk to the vanity table and sit. Smiling he went to her, kissed her shoulder then took his clothes off, discarded them in the middle of the floor and went to shower. When he came out she had her makeup and her jewelry on. "You look lovely Sookie." She had straightened her blonde hair, it was getting so long, her makeup was a bit smoky and she put diamonds on her ears and his mothers necklace on her neck.
"Thank you sweetie." She smiled to him as he walked to the closet, he took out black dress pants, sport jacket, a shirt in royal blue and his dress shoes. Watching him dress she smirked, there was no creature on the planet that was more handsome than he was. When he turned to put his phone and wallet in his pockets she put her eyes back on her face to finish getting ready. "You look very handsome Eric."
He smiled at her. "I appreciate that my love." Eric walked to the door. "I am going to check on the children and I will meet you downstairs. I need to speak to the guards."
"Ok, I will be down in a bit." Sookie waited until he was out of the room and allowed enough time for him to make it downstairs. She went to her closet and way in the back of it she had a bag stashed with the dress she bought for the evening. Tonight she was opting just for a bra, she wasn't bothering with underwear because if things went well they would just be shreds anyway. She put the dress over the lacy bra, her legs she left bare and put on a pair of designer shoes Pam gave her for Christmas.
"We will be late Nigel, just call if you have any issues. I do not anticipate anything." Eric was speaking to Nigel and the vampires eyes were no longer focused on what he was saying, he was looking up. Eric turned to see what had caught his attention.
"Eric, why do you let her go out like that?" Mark asked from behind them.
Eric watched his wife walk down the stairs, she was wearing a black wrap around dress in the most beautiful material that clung to every curve of her body, it was just above her knee, her cleavage was amazing in the dress . She put on blood red platform five inch heels, her wrap in the same color of her shoes made her look sophisticated and incredibly sexy. Eric's fangs popped, Nigel's too.
"Mark, I am a fool not to take her out more often. Every male on the planet should see what a sexy wife I have." He walked to the staircase and took her hand. "You look fabulous my love."
She smiled. "Thank you sweetie, are you sure you like it?"
He leaned over and whispered in her ear. "I would prefer to take you upstairs and fuck you in those pumps. Are you sure you wont allow me to instead of dinner?"
She giggled. "Lets go." Eric helped her to the door and opened it. Tonight they were going with Gary and Ted, Eric wanted to leave Nigel at the house while he and Sookie both were gone. Gary opened the door to the SUV for them and Eric helped his wife in.
When they got on the road Sookie smiled. "What are our plans?"
"Do not ruin the surprise angel, I have a couple things planned." He smiled, pulled her close as the car flew down the highway. Sookie watched as they went to a restaurant she had never been to. "I hope you like this, it is new and supposed to be wonderful." They got out of the car and Eric helped her into the front door, the guards behind them.
As they walked in the male standing at the door smiled. "Good evening my King. I am pleased to see you."
Eric nodded and smiled. "Thank you."
Sookie looked around, the restaurant was beautiful, it was done in silvers and aqua's, the whole restaurant gave off a modern feel. Sookie liked it, the tables were all full except one. "My name is Ben, please come this way." He took them to the empty table that had a reserved sign on it, he removed it and stood back for Eric to help Sookie to sit down. He handed them menus and told them their waitress would be right with them.
"Thank you Ben." Sookie smiled at the man. She looked around. "This is pretty."
Eric nodded. "It has been open about six months I was told. It is the hottest place in town."
Sookie's eyes narrowed. "We don't own it do we?"
"No, we do not. Why would you like to?" He chuckled at her expression.
She shook her head. "That would be a big no."
"Hi, I am Emily, I will be your waitress, can I bring you both some drinks?" She was a pretty girl in her early twenties, dark brown hair up in a pony tale and a pretty face.
Eric looked at the waitress and smiled. "Royalty for me and my bride will have a gin and tonic." Emily smiled brightly and said she would be right back.
Sookie stopped her. "Wait, I think I will just have a coke if that is alright." Eric frowned and nodded. "Just a coke please." Sookie smiled, they both looked over the menu, they had a great selection of blood items, soups, mousses and some items Sookie wasn't sure what they were so she looked at the human food section.
He reached across the table. "What are you having for your dinner?"
Sookie grinned. "I am having steak, rare, and a baked potato. Yum."
When Emily came back with their drinks Eric ordered for them, he thanked her and reached across the table. They chatted and laughed until their food was served. Sookie took a big bite of her steak and moaned. "I take it you enjoy that my love?"
Sookie's eyes got wide. "Oh, it is so good sweetie." He watched his wife eat every bite. He had ordered a soup and he sipped it while Sookie ate. "How is yours?"
"Not as tasty as you, but good." He smiled at her and nodded to the waitress, Sookie finished her food and he had preordered her desert. Eric watched as Emily brought out a plate with a dark chocolate slice of cake, it was drizzled with dark chocolate and raspberries slices.
"Eric, oh wow!" Sookie stared down on it for a minute. She put her fork in and closed her eyes. "This is amazing." When her eyes went up to his she didn't look away, she took another bite, put it in her mouth and leaned across the table. "A bite for the most romantic, amazing husband on the planet." She kissed him to let him taste the desert. When she pulled back his eyes were closed and he was licking his lips. "Great huh?"
Eric looked at her and laughed. "Yes, you are."
"I wasn't talking about me Eric. I meant the cake." She shook her head.
He smiled. "I am aware of what you meant." When desert was over Eric got the check paid, helped Sookie back into the car and off they went. They pulled up in front of the convention center.
Sookie looked out the window, the signs for the show were hanging from the tops of te building. She had said in passing a few months before that she would love to see Cirque du Soleil when they came to town. "Eric?"
He was grinning next to her. "My love, I pay attention you know. I wanted to surprise you."
Sookie wanted to cry, she leaned over and kissed him as they pulled up to the front steps of the center. "Thank you!" When they pulled up Eric helped her out of the car, Ted stayed with the car and Gary went inside with Eric and Sookie.
Eric had gotten them front row tickets. Sookie held his hand tightly as they got comfortable in their seats. The lights went down, Sookie watched the show, periodically turning to Eric at her amazement of the performers in front of them. Sookie leaned into her husband who held her close the entire time. He was so happy, here this woman he loved more than anything was thrilled to be out, watching a show with him. When the lights came back up Eric leaned over and whispered in her ear. "Did you enjoy it my love?"
"Sweetie, that was amazing! I cant believe you remembered me talking about that." She smiled ear to ear.
"I only want my wife happy and if doing this small thing makes her happy I am glad to do it." As they exited the center the car pulled up to them, Gary held the door open.
"Can we walk a little before we head home?" Sookie looked up at him, her eyes pleading.
Eric nodded. "Alright, there is a park a couple blocks away, lets walk to that." He turned to Gary. "Follow us, have Ted follow in the car." Gary nodded and did as he asked. Eric took her hand and walked them down the side walk.
"Thank you Eric, I just want some private time with you." She hugged him as they walked.
Smiling he looked down on and pulled her closer to him. "It is nice, just the two of us is it not?"
They walked in silence to the park Eric directed them to. When they got there Sookie smiled. "It is pretty." The lights from the over head lights lit up the park slightly, the moon was bright and reflected off the fountain in the middle of it. "Lets go sit for a minute." She pulled his hand and he laughed as he followed her.
There was a small bench, Eric helped her sit. "Are you cold Sookie?"
She smiled at him. "No, not at all. The temperature is perfect." The night air was warm for this time of year, it was probably in the low fifties and for winter in Louisiana and that wasn't too bad she thought. When they sat she looked to see where Gary was, he stood far enough back to give them privacy. "Eric, I need to talk to you about something." Her face went down, she looked at her hands.
He instantly got concerned. "What is it Sookie? Are you ill?"
She looked up then turned away. "I have kept something from you and I feel bad for doing it now."
He pulled her face up to his and looked into her eyes. "Sookie, what is it, please tell me." The anxiety of what she was going to tell him had his blood pumping, she never kept secrets from him.
"Will you hold me first?" She looked up at him and slowly he put his arms around her, he hugged her tight to him.
Eric didn't like it one bit she was keeping something from him. "Sookie, please tell me." His voice he tried to keep even as to not let her know he was upset.
She looked him in the eye. "I love you more than anything, I love you more every day. Please do not be mad at me for not telling you this. Promise me."
"I promise." If she didn't tell him quickly he would lose his mind.
"Congratulations." She smiled.
"Sookie, congratulations on what?" His fangs popped, he was getting angry.
She took his arm from around her and placed it on her belly. "Congratulations daddy."
Eric looked at her, his eyes searched her face. "We are pregnant?" He wanted to cry, he forced the tears back. "Sookie, are you sure? How far along?"
Her eyes welled, the fairy tears ran down her face. "Yes, the doctor confirmed it this morning. She thinks about six weeks."
"Why did you not tell me?" He asked her exasperated.
She giggled. "We have always found out together, I wanted to wait and tell you tonight. I wanted it to be special, just the two of us. Are you mad at me?"
"No! I am not mad at you! I love you!" He picked her up, kissed her hard on the lips then put his arms around her swinging her around. "We are having a new son!"
"Easy on the pregnant girl!" Sookie squealed as he turned them around and around. When he stopped she took her hands and put them on the sides of his face to hold him in place. "Let is just be our secret ok? I just want to put our hands on my belly knowing our son is in there and only you and I know it. Just for a couple days."
Eric's eyes narrowed, he was instantly concerned. "Is there something wrong with you or the baby?"
She smiled and shook her head no. "I have hoped for this baby for months and now that he is in here I want to just spend a little alone time with him. Soon everyone will know about him."
"Sookie, our family are supe's they will know." He wasn't convinced something wasn't wrong.
"I just want a few days, that's all. Just you and I, please." She hugged him.
"Alright, a couple days. If someone finds out Sookie we will have to tell them." His face was beaming. "We are having a new baby." His hand went to her belly and he looked her in the face. "Our new son."
"What a perfect night tonight has been." She pulled him to the bench, his arms went around her and they kissed each other softly, it was full of love.
He pulled back and looked her in the eye. "Sookie, please do not scare me like that again. I thought something dreadful was the matter."
"I am sorry sweetie, I just wanted to it to be a surprise." She giggled.
"Yes, it was but next time do not be so cryptic." He held her hand. "Lets get you home, it is getting chilly and it is getting late."
She shook her head. "No, you owe me something."
His fangs popped. "Sookie." His voice was low.
"I am not going home yet Eric." She pulled the skirt of her dress up slightly. "I came prepared."
Eric could smell her, she was excited and he was instantly hard. "Sookie, did you purposely go out of our home with no panties on?" He smiled, big.
"Oh, yeah. I want you Eric. I want you inside me." Sookie didn't get any farther in her list of what she wanted him to do to her, he had her in the tree line, against a tree, her skirt up to her waist and his cock was inside her. "Eric!" She whispered against his neck.
"Mine Sookie, you are mine." He moaned to her as he kissed her. His rock hard erection was pushing her against the tree. Sookie wrapped her arms around his neck, wrapped her legs around him and let him fuck her like mad. He was thrusting hard and so fast she could barely breathe. "Tell me you want me Sookie, tell me." He hissed against her neck.
"I need you Eric, I want you so bad. Make me come, please." She begged him quietly.
Eric pounded her hard, it didn't take long for them to build up, he tore open his arm and put it to her face, he went for her neck and they came together, Sookie thought she would pass out the orgasm was so intense. Eric clenched his teeth to keep from calling out. He released inside her, filling her completely. When they were done he pulled back, helped her get situated and zipped himself up. "I am sorry Sookie, I did not mean to behave like that."
Sookie's mouth fell open. "Are you joking? That was amazing, I wanted it just as much as you did!"
"You are pregnant and I attack you in the middle of a park." His fangs were still down.
"Eric, look at me." She turned his face to look at her. "I wanted you, so badly. I left the house with no panties Eric! I knew we would have sex somewhere fun. Didn't you enjoy it?"
He looked at her for a moment. "Yes, I did."
"Then that's it. How about you and I fool around on the way home?" Her eyebrows wiggled at him.
He grinned and leaned down to kiss her. "You are incredible." Eric picked her up and carried her to the car. "You, Mrs. Northman are going home, getting in the bed and resting. I believe I will lay with you for awhile and talk to my new son."
"Sleep sounds pretty good right about now." She yawned as he helped her in the car. Eric got in and pulled her to sit next to him. "Close your eyes Sookie." She did and was asleep before they were half way home. When Ted had the SUV pulling into the driveway of the house and they stopped Eric gently carried her upstairs, put her in the bed, took off her dress, bra and shoes. He stood looking down at his wife, she had gone out with no panties, she had no idea who or where they were going. He leaned over, kissed her and smiled. "I love you angel."
Eric undressed, got into the bed next to her. His hand went to her belly. "Hello my son, I am your daddy. I cannot wait to meet you, let me tell you about your family." Eric smiled as he spoke to his new son.
