Chapter 82
"Erika Northman, stop all that splashing silly!" Sookie laughed hard as her daughter's hands went up and down in the water. The whole front of her jeans and t-shirt completely covered in water.
"Eeeeeeeehhhhhh!" Erika started to squeal, her face big with her pretty smile.
"Hello my Princess." Eric said from the doorway.
Sookie's head snapped around to see her handsome husband standing smiling at them. "Eric!" She reached down, taking Erika out of the water and went to his open arms. He hugged them both and she giggled. "Sorry sweetie!" Erika was dripping all over both of them.
He laughed and took Erika then reached for a towel to wrap his daughter in. "I am just happy to see you both, a little water is not an issue my love." He leaned over and kissed her, soft and slow until his daughter was smacking his face for a kiss. "You need one too angel?"
"Yes daddy!" She puckered her lips and waited. Eric pulled her up, smacked a big kiss on her and smiled. "Thank you daddy!" Eric grinned at his little girl.
"Did you see the boys?" Sookie asked.
"Yes, I went to the living room first. Lily said you were up here with the prettiest girl in the world so I rushed up here to see her. Has anyone seen her?" Eric teased his daughter.
Eric smiled, Erika giggled. "Daddy!"
Sookie shook her head. "You mind taking over? I need to run down and get Gunnar, its his turn and I know baby girl wants to talk to her daddy." Sookie winked and Eric nodded to his wife. Sookie rushed to head down to get her youngest. He was sitting in the middle of the floor playing with Enar. "Hey there my boys."
Enar looked up and smiled slightly to his mother. "Daddy is home mommy."
Sookie nodded. "I saw him upstairs baby, are you glad he is home?" He nodded his head and handed a the toy he was playing with to Gunnar. Gunnar dropped the toy, put his hands up for his mother to take him, she did holding him tight to her. Sookie turned to Johan who was sitting on the couch reading. "Johan mommy is taking Gunnar upstairs. Its time for your lesson now."
Lily stood and smiled. "I was just about to take them down. Do you want me to get Erika?"
She smiled. "I will send Eric down with her in just a couple minutes, they are talking." Lily nodded and took Enar's hand and told Johan to come with her. The two boys went with her and Sookie head back up stairs to the nursery. "Lets get you washed up and then you can see your daddy."
Gunnar was so excited, he was chanting "Daddy, daddy" when Eric stepped out with a happy Erika from her room. "Daddy!" Gunnar was stretching his arms out to Eric so Sookie swapped kids with him.
"I will take her down to Lily, keep an eye on your vampire Eric." Sookie grinned as she started to turn around.
"Sookie, I can take her down." Eric looked at her oddly.
She shook her head. "I got it." Sookie jogged down the stairs and then down to the classroom handing Erika over to Lily. "Be good Troops." Sookie rushed back up the stairs to find Eric giving his son a bath. "Eric, I can do that."
He turned to look at her. "You look exhausted Sookie, you are supposed to resting. I thought we talked about this." His eyes went to her belly, she instinctively put her hand over it.
"I am fine, everything is fine." She frowned at him.
"You have a house full of staff but you are running and bathing and who knows what else. Sookie." His fangs popped.
She groaned. "They are my kids Eric, I do take care of them."
"No one said you do not but I want you to let others help you. I believe we need another nanny during the day." He turned his attention back to Gunnar.
Sookie rolled her eyes and moved to sit next to him at the tub. "I am fine Eric."
He ignored her comment and finished washing his son. When he was done he took him out of the water, wrapped him in a towel and took him to the changing table. Eric quickly dressed Gunnar who was getting sleepy, his little eyes were almost closed. "Sleep my son." Gunnar yawned and was out like a light. Eric smiled down on him and gently put him into his crib and covered him. Sookie stood watching him the entire time. "Lets get you in the bed as well." Eric was in front of her, picked her up and carried her to the bedroom placing her in the middle of the bed. "Strip Sookie."
Sookie gave him a dirty look. "Eric, I have things to do."
"No you do not. You have one thing that must be done Sookie and that is to take care of yourself and my son." He growled at her.
She laughed. "I have given birth three times Eric, I feel fine. I haven't had one pregnancy symptom, no sickness or anything. Stop making a big deal out of this."
He was over her, his nose was touching hers, his eyes looking in hers directly. "You are my wife Sookie, I love you and I do not want you ill. Why do you wish to make this difficult? Please let me help you."
She blinked, she thought for sure he was going to hiss and yell but he was actually being sweet. "Fine, do whatever." She laid back on the bed and gave in.
He smiled at her. "See, was that so difficult?"
Sticking her tongue out at him she closed her eyes. She felt him tugging at her clothes until she was naked. He was next to her, his cool hands pulled her to him. When she felt his body next to hers she rolled on her side and curled into his arms. "I missed you so much last night. I don't like us being apart."
"I know my love, it was unavoidable. We have been having vampires coming up missing in New Orleans." Eric frowned.
"That's where you were last night?" She looked up at him.
He nodded. "Yes, I called Bill back last night. I need him to deal with this. One things he does well is dig until he finds the answer to a problem. We have investigators all over the city to try to find the source of the disappearances."
She shook her head. "Maybe I can help?"
"No, I do not wish to involve you or anyone else at this juncture. We will just work the leads we have and see where they take us. We may need to go to New Orleans for a few days." He said it with regret.
"Whatever you need to do Eric, if we need to go we go. I don't like the thought of vampires just missing off the face of the earth. It needs to be handled." She knew he needed to be on the ground there and she was willing to do what she needed to support him.
"Yes it does. That is why I need you to rest and take care of yourself. I do not like having to worry about you Sookie." He leaned over and kissed the top of her head. "I missed you darling."
She grinned. "I almost naughty text you last night. I didn't know what you were doing so I decided not to."
Eric laughed. "That is best, I was in a meeting with Sheriff's and law enforcement most of the night. It would not do well for me to have a hard on in the middle of the meeting."
"Eric!' She slapped at him and giggled.
He smirked. "You know that is what would have happened. You are a little vixen my bride." Leaning over he kissed her, soft at first until the kiss deepened, his fangs and tongue both assaulting her mouth, she loved it.
When he pulled back she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him in again. "More Eric, please." He looked her in the eye and shook his head no. "What's the matter?" She was aroused and wanted him desperately.
"No, you need to rest. After your nap Sookie." His voice was low and husky.
She moved away from him. "You don't want to have sex with me?" Her face looked at him with surprise.
He laughed. "More than anything in the world but you are pale and need to rest. I will not watch you get ill again Sookie. I will do anything and everything in my power to keep you healthy during this pregnancy." Eric moved his head to her shoulder. "I have a quick solution so that you will sleep."
Sookie looked him in the eye. "I don't just want blood Eric, I need you."
"I know angel, later. Now, here drink." She shook her head as he put his arm up to his face. "Do not worry, I will as well." He smirked and as he watched her take his bloodied arm, he leaned over to her neck and bit her, really hard. Sookie cried out with the climax instantly, bucked under him as she moaned against his arm. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the orgasm her blood caused in him. When she was done, he licked her neck closing the wound and looked into her eyes. "Better?"
She looked up at him. "Its not the same." Her lip was pouting.
"Sleep Sookie and I promise after dinner you and I will take a bath or do anything you wish, for hours." He wiggled his eye brows at her. She yawned and cuddled closer to him. Gently he rubbed her back and watched as she slowly fell asleep. He laid with her in his arms, he was so glad to be home, last night he was restless and missed his family immensely. The last few years had changed him, he no longer cared about going out to feed or to find a willing partner for sex. Now he thought of rocking his vampire son to sleep, reading Johan a story, tucking Enar in bed, watching his daughters face light up when she saw him. And Sookie, he knew there would never one day on this earth he could live alone without her. She meant everything to him, she was everything, she was his life and he prayed everyday nothing would ever change that. Smiling at her beautiful face he gently touched her skin. This woman had given him so much, four amazing kids and here she was giving him another. His hand went to her belly, he cupped her tiny baby bump and grinned. He knew how lucky he was, he never would take his life for granted. Eric leaned down, kissed her belly and moved to lay down next to her. His need to be close to her overwhelmed him on the ride home this morning, he would take the morning off before getting his plans together to take his family to New Orleans, just to lay here with her. He closed his eyes and let sleep take him.
"Daddy." Eric felt a tap on his shoulder, he opened his eyes to see his son sitting next to him on the bed. Eric looked around, Sookie was gone.
"Johan? Is something wrong?" Eric sat up quickly.
Johan looked around and leaned into his father. "Daddy, someone will try to hurt Nigel when we go to New Orleans."
Eric narrowed his eyes. "Son, what are you talking about?" Eric sat up, pulled the blanket up his lap and pulled Johan to sit closer.
"The men who are taking the vampires, they plan to take Nigel." Johan looked at his father with all seriousness, his face concerned.
"Johan, do you know who these men are?" Eric's fangs popped and he used every ounce of strength he could not to frighten his son.
Eric watched his son look down and nod. "Yes."
Eric took his hand and pulled his sons face to look at him. "Can you show daddy?"
"I can try." Johan closed his eyes, put his hands on the side of Eric's face and sent the images to his father, Eric closed his eyes the minute his sons hands touched him
Sookie walked in and saw her son holding onto Eric's face. She was instantly concerned but stood quietly while her son's connection was intact to his father. When she saw Eric's eyes open and Johan pull his hands back she went forward. "Eric?"
His head snapped toward her. "Sookie, please get the children ready, we need to leave immediately."
Standing where she was she looked at Johan who looked upset. "Eric." Sookie spoke firmly to her husband to get his attention, she looked at Johan and Eric realized what she was trying to tell him.
Eric pulled Johan up to his face level. "You are a wonderful Johan, you have done nothing wrong by telling daddy about these men. You have saved Nigel's life. Daddy and mommy are very proud of you." Eric wrapped his arms around his son, Johan put his head on his fathers shoulder.
"Ok, daddy." Johan whispered.
Sookie went to sit next to her husband and son. "Did you tell daddy about something that was going to happen baby?" He looked at her and nodded. "Good. Don't be upset because you helped daddy. You did the right thing Johan. We both are super proud of you!" She rubbed his back as Eric held him tight. Sookie put her hands on her son and took him from Eric. "Let me have him so I can get him to Lily so we can get ready ok?"
Eric looked at her and nodded. He was still really upset and needed a few minutes to cool off. "Alright, I am going to get dressed, we need to leave as soon as possible Sookie."
She nodded. "Ok, just let me get them fed and I will have everyone move into high gear. Don't worry, we will be on the plane in about an hour or less." Eric nodded and stood up, Sookie left to get her kids ready.
Sookie bounced down the stairs with Johan. "Mark!"
He walked out of the living room. "Hey Sookie."
"We need to go to New Orleans, now. Can you get the guards together and the staff? We need to leave within the hour." Sookie set Johan down and he was gone in a flash.
"I will have everyone ready then. Where is Eric?" Mark took his phone out of his pocket and dialed a number.
"He will be down soon. Just hurry ok?" Sookie nodded and went to find Lily. She found her in the living room with the kids, told her to get packed and get the kids fed. Sookie moved like the wind, she had the staff rushing, the guards were pulling up the cars, loading items into it. Tammy, Trish, Sergio and the guards were ready to go quickly. The kids were fed and Sookie didn't worry about packing much for them, they had plenty of items there in New Orleans. She packed diaper bags, got Eric's laptop, hers and took them downstairs. She ran into him on the stairs. "We are almost ready. Don't forget your briefcase ok sweetie?" He nodded and rushed back up the stairs.
Sookie grabbed a couple of Eric's suit bags in case he needed it, Trish had already packed his bags and was working on Sookie's when she went into her room. "I have you both almost packed. Is there anything special you need to bring?"
"No, just the basics, we can pick anything else up we need while we are there if need be. Eric just wants to be in New Orleans pronto." Sookie called down to Ted to come up and get the bags which he quickly took care of. Sookie went down the stairs to find Mark. "Hey, what about the vampires?"
He smiled. "Eric will get Nigel and Pam now. The rest will stay here." Sookie nodded and went back to gathering her kids.
They were all ready and waiting in the living room when Eric came down. "Lover are we ready?" Eric asked as he walked in, Sookie looked at his face, he was so serious, deadly almost. He was wearing black jeans and a white v-neck t-shirt.
"Yep, everyone is waiting for you sweetie. Did you get your things out of your office?" He nodded. "Ok, then we should be all set." Sookie smiled at him and walked to stand next to him. "You will handle it Eric, don't worry."
Her husband nodded to her. "Johan said someone was going to get Nigel Sookie."
"What?" Sookie said in a whisper. She didn't want her other kids to hear what they were talking about.
Eric looked her in the eyes and pulled her out into the foyer. "He showed me the place they are taking them, draining them for V and leaving them out into the sun to meet their final death. They were planning on taking Nigel."
"Now we know and we can protect him, right?" Sookie looked up at him for confirmation that everything would be ok.
"I will have to deal with this today Sookie." His fangs popped and she knew immediately what that meant.
She stood on her tip toes and kissed him. "I know so lets move it." Sookie knew in her heart what Eric was going to be doing and even though the thought of people dying made her sad, her family and their safety was priority one. She trusted Eric to do what he had to keep them safe.
Mark orchestrated the entire group to the waiting cars and they were rushing to the airport. They were on board, Nigel and Pam included and in the air in no time. Eric sat quiet most of the ride. Sookie would say something to him and he would answer her with minimal discussion, she hated to see her husband so upset. She just hoped this would work out in their favor.
They touched down in New Orleans, Eric insisted Sookie take the family and go into the mansion, he needed to meet with the Were's and begin the hunt for the men who were draining the vampires. Sookie wished Eric had brought Alcide but he said Alcide needed to stay close to his wife and she understood that. Eric would have done the same if it were her.
Eric took her arm in the driveway before she walked into the resident. "Sookie, I do not know how long I will be. I will try to call if I can. Please do not worry."
Sookie rushed to hug him. "Eric, please be careful."
He hugged her tight. "I only want you to do one thing for me." She pulled back and looked him in the eye then nodded. "Promise me you will not make yourself sick worrying. I will be fine and I will be home as soon as I can."
She smiled at him even though she wanted to cry and beg him not to go. "I will be fine sweetie. You go get these a-holes who are doing this. Make sure you tell them they are lucky I am not coming to find them cause they really would be in trouble."
That made Eric laugh, it lightened his mood. "Thank you my love. You are incredible." He leaned down, pulled her face up to his and kissed her, long and passionately. "I love you Sookie, always." He let her go and went to the SUV and got in. He rolled down the window before the car drove away. "Kiss the children for me." He nodded to Gary and they were gone.
Sookie watched the cars drive away and pull onto the street. When she couldn't see them anymore she turned around, Stephen was standing behind her. "Lets get you in the house my Queen."
Sookie smiled at him and let him escort her inside, she stood inside the foyer and gathered her thoughts. There was only one thing she could do to keep her mind of Eric and what she knew the out come would inevitably be, she went to find Lily and her kids. They were in the sitting room and she smiled when she walked in. "Hey Troops!" Sookie went to sit next to them on the floor to play.
The day went by quickly, Sookie was wiping faces at the dinner table when Nigel walked in. "Sookie, can I speak with you?" She nodded and walked with him out of the room. "I spoke to Eric, I am leaving the others here to protect you and the children. Pam and I will be meeting him shortly."
"Has he found anything?" Sookie looked into his light blue eyes.
Nigel looked around then looked her in the face. "Yes, he has the place under surveillance. He wanted to have the entire team there to handle the situation." He grinned that wicked smile he made when he was excited about a good fight. "Do not worry, we will have it handled and be home before sun up."
Sookie sighed. "Nigel, please be careful."
"I always am my Queen." He was gone in a flash.
Sookie went back into the dining room, Erika was looking at her, her lips trembled. Sookie rushed to her, took her out of her chair and sat down with her. "Princess, what is wrong?"
Erika buried her head in Sookie's shoulder and her arms went around her mothers neck. "Daddy and Nigel are fighting."
Sookie looked to Lily. "Lily, will you excuse us a moment." Lily smiled and left them alone. "Ok, guys, I know you all know something is going on. You don't have to worry about daddy or Nigel. Everything will be ok."
Enar looked at his mother and nodded. "Daddy is a warrior Princess."
"Yes, daddy is but he is also smart, he knows what he is doing. Do not worry about him ok?" Sookie hugged Erika tight.
Johan leaned over to his sister and took her hand and spoke to her. "Mommy is right."
Erika looked to her brother who was smiling at her, the little girl sat up and sniffled. Sookie reached over to get a napkin to wipe the pink tears from her daughters face. "Feel better baby?" Sookie looked her daughter in the eye.
"They wont hurt Nigel mommy?" Erika whispered.
Sookie smiled. "No, daddy would never let anything happen to him." Gunnar started to squeal and bounce in his chair. The boys all popped their fangs, Erika did as well. Sookie felt it too, Eric's blood was boiling, he was in the midst of something, he was lusting and Sookie closed her eyes to try to control it. "Ok, lets go and watch a movie. Erika how about we let your brothers pick?" Sookie knew she needed to do something to distract the kids, she had no clue what to do when Eric was like this.
Johan's eyes were bright, just like Eric's when he was angry. "May we go out and play in the court yard?"
Sookie looked at the kids, maybe that would be best she thought. "Ok, lets go." The boys were gone in a flash, Sookie held onto Erika and Stephen stepped in line behind them as they went out the door. "We are going to play for a little while, is that ok?"
He nodded, got on the headset and Maggie and Mark stepped out into the court yard. The boys were already playing, levitating, laughing. Erika still didn't want to let her go. She sat in the chair and they watched the boys. Sookie could feel the anxiety coming off of her usually happy daughter, this little girl was so connected to her father it was almost too much for her. "Mommy, can I play with them?"
Setting her down on her feet Sookie smiled. "Go play with your brothers." Erika grinned and was gone in a flash. Sookie watched them play, they were rougher with each other than they usually were, not enough to hurt each other but Sookie knew it had to do with Eric and what they all felt. The kids played until it was dark, Sookie stood and told them it was time to go in and get ready for bed.
Johan looked at her, his fangs were still down. "Cant we play a little longer?" Her son never questioned her.
"No, it is getting late and Gunnar is tired, so are the twins." Sookie picked up the baby and gave her oldest son the face to let him know she wasn't joking. He nodded and told his siblings it was time to go in. They were gone in a flash to their rooms. "Thank you Johan." He nodded and was gone at vampire speed too.
Mark laughed. "I don't know how you do it Sookie." He was alone, the other guards he had on the property.
She turned to look at him. "What?"
"They are all so different, magical. Doesn't it worry you?" He looked at her serious.
"Not so much anymore, I did when they were babies, but now they know when things are going to happen, Eric is so in tune with them so they tell him and this is the result." Sookie smiled.
"You're a good mother Sookie." He smiled back at her.
"And you will make a good father, when the time comes." Sookie grinned.
Mark rolled his eyes. "Don't push it."
Sookie looked at him. "Mark, isn't it time you start thinking about it? I mean your getting to be old!" She giggled and covered her mouth.
"Sookie." He warned.
"Ok, I will stop. I just love to tease you." She went to the door and walked in then turned back to Mark. "I am going to get the kids ready for bed. If Eric gets home that's where I am ok?" He nodded to her and she went to the kids rooms, none of them there. She smiled and went to her room, that were they all sat on her bed.
"Sorry Sookie, I tried to convince them to go to their room but this is where we ended up." Tammy stood with her hands on her hips.
"Its ok Tammy, they just want to stay close to me. You little stinkers need a bath, do you mind helping me do that and then we can get them to sleep." Sookie walked to the bed and picked up Gunnar.
"Of course, lets take two each, then we can get them done faster and Troops will be asleep within the hour." Tammy grinned.
"Can we watch a movie mommy?" Enar asked.
"After your bath, how's that?" Sookie smiled and picked up Erika to set on her feet. "You little lady, to the bathroom." She looked at Gunnar then Tammy. "You got the boys Tammy?" She nodded and pointed to the boys, they were up and following behind her.
"I will bring them in their pajamas in just one second ok?" Tammy said from the doorway.
"Thanks Tammy." Sookie smiled and took the kids into her bathroom, ran the water and put them in the bubbles. "No splashing baby girl." Sookie gave her the serious look. "Mommy doesn't need a bath tonight." When Sookie had the kids in the water she got the soap off the shelf and lathered each of the kids up, her head was killing her. The fighting must have been still going on because Eric was still really intense. She said a little prayer and went back to bathing her kids.
Tammy came in with pajamas for the kids and Gunnar's blanket. "Mark's watching them so I will have the boys back in just a minute." She quickly left to finish bathing them.
Sookie got them out of the tub, dried them and put them on the bed. "Jammies then we can pick out a movie. Let your brothers pick something out, alright Princess?"
She grinned and nodded. "Ok."
Tammy came back with the boys, they were squeaky clean and dressed for bed. Tammy had combed their hair, Sookie looked at Johan and smiled. "In the bed Troops." They levitated and got under the covers.
Johan and Enar talked about what movie to watch until they decided and Johan looked at Sookie. "Princess, you pick."
Sookie smirked, they were so sweet. Erika put her finger on her lips and contemplated. "I pick 'Happy Feet'". The boys rolled their eyes and Sookie giggled.
"You said she could pick." Sookie giggled and got up and put the movie in. The kids watched about thirty minutes of it before they were asleep. Sookie leaned back and got her book off the top of the nightstand, opened it and relaxed to read it.
Eric was covered head to toe in blood, his fangs dripping from the savage feeding of the venom he and his warriors spent hours fighting. Eric stood, he was panting like a wild animal. "Where is he?"
"I do not know." Pam was scanning the room, her instincts fully extended.
Eric hissed. "Find him." Pam was gone in a flash, the vampires and the Were's rushed behind her.
Nigel, who was also covered in blood stepped to stand next to him. "How did he escape?"
Eric growled. "He is here, I feel him." Eric was like an antenna, he knew the leader of this group was still in the building. Eric turned to Nigel and nodded, his finger pointing up. Nigel moved silently, the man never saw him coming. The screams that came from the man had Eric laughing. "Not so powerful now, is he?" Nigel was dragging the man toward him, he was holding his neck where Nigel had almost ripped it completely open.
Pam and the rest of the killers were back behind Eric. "Nigel gets to have all the fun." Her lip out, she was pouting.
"Not now Pam." Eric hissed at her. Stepping forward Eric knelt down to the man. "Who is the blood going to?"
The man was whimpering, kicking, bleeding everywhere. "I just drain them and leave the coolers outside. I get the money direct deposited. I don't ever see anyone." He looked at Eric. "I told you everything I know! Let me go!'
Eric stood. "Nigel, I do not believe he is being truthful, do you?"
Nigel's wicked laugh bounced off the wall of the warehouse. "No, I do not believe he is. Pamela, would you like to take this one?"
Pam was in front of them, holding the man up by his neck, her blonde hair splattered with blood, she wore all black, her cargo pants covered with blood and guts. "I am curious to what this moron has to say." Pam laughed. The man started screaming again, he tried to get loose but there was no way he would be leaving the building alive, he just hadn't accepted his fate yet. Pam's fangs bit him over and over, pulling his skin until he was almost unconscious.
"His name is Rasheed." The leader of the drainers cried. "He lives outside the city."
"Do you have anything else to offer?" Nigel twisted his arm, the bones began to snap. The screaming started again. "Now is your chance."
"No! No! I don't know anything else! I swear it! Please let me go!" The bloodied and half mutilated man wept.
Eric waved his hand. "Finish this and torch the building. It will send this Rasheed a message." Eric saw the drainer bucking against the hold Pam had on his neck, Nigel leaned in and severed his artery on his neck, Pam dropped him to the floor. "I am going home. Let me know when it is done." Eric rushed to the car, opened the trunk and got out the change of clothes he brought with him. He moved at vampire speed back into the warehouse, rinsed off the best he could then went to the car again. Gary was waiting to take him home. He sat in the backseat and nodded to the guard. "Home Gary." They were on the road and pulling into the driveway in about thirty minutes.
When Eric came in the front door he moved at vampire speed, went to the staff quarters, took off his clothes, put them in a plastic bag and got in the shower. Eric scrubbed, then scrubbed again, making sure he was blood free when he stepped out. Eric stepped out of the shower, went to the linen closet, reached to the back of the top shelf to retrieve a t-shirt and pair of jeans he had stashed there for emergencies. He went back to the bathroom, poured a gallon of bleach all over the walls and down the drain, just as a precaution. He grabbed the bag, went out the back door and up to the roof of the house. He looked down and in a vampire flash he was half way across the city. Under the bridge of town the barrels the homeless used for heat Eric dropped the bag inside while no one was looking. He quickly took shelter behind a tree to ensure no one would try taking the bag out of the barrel, when he was sure it would not be identified or retrieved he took to the air and landed in the courtyard. Mark was standing in the doorway, smirking. "Eric."
"Hello Mark, everything alright tonight?" Eric looked around, the house was quiet.
Mark nodded. "Yes, everything is fine. Sookie and the kids are having a pajama party."
Eric laughed. "Good, I am going to bed with my family. Call me if you need me." Mark told him he would and Eric rushed to the bedroom. The moment he walked in he smiled. Sookie was asleep sitting up, her book on her lap. The kids were all under the covers and the TV was playing softly the music to one of Erika's favorite movies. He chuckled and went to Sookie's side of the bed, leaned over and gently kissed her. "Angel, lay back now."
Her eyes opened and she grinned, she moved like lightning, she threw her protection light over the kids then grabbed his arm dragging him into the bathroom. "Are you ok?" She asked the minute they were behind the door.
Eric leaned over and whispered. "I am fine lover. I told you not to worry."
Sookie rolled her eyes. "Sure, why don't you tell me to stop breathing too while your at it."
Eric chuckled and pulled her close. His lips went to hers. "I missed you." His fangs scrapped her lip.
She closed her eyes and moaned. "Why do you do this to me?"
"What?" Eric acted innocent.
"Our kids are laying in there Eric, all of them. They have that vampire hearing you passed on to them." She leaned into his chest.
"Can you not be quiet, not this one time?" He snickered.
"You think you're funny don't you?" She pulled him down to kiss her. "Make one sound and I am going to kill you." Sookie was pulling his shirt up over his head.
"It is not me you should worry about wife, you are the culprit of the screams." His lips were back on hers. Eric helped her out of her pajama bottoms and then undid his jeans. They stood naked in each others arms. "Remember, quiet lover." He laughed and turned her around, she grabbed the sink vanity as he entered her center from behind. Sookie bit the side of her mouth not to cry out, just the intensity of him inside her was almost too much. She reached behind her and put her hands on his hips pulling him closer to her until she couldn't hold on any longer, her hands went back in front of her to hold on. Eric leaned over to bring her closer to him. Putting his lips on her neck as his pounded her, his blood lust was bouncing all over the bond. It didn't take long for them to climax together, Eric's head fell back, he wanted to scream out but he didn't. His forcing himself to be silent was more exciting, even more thrilling. When they were spent he turned her around. Her face was flushed and her eyes glassy. "Sookie, are you ill?"
She shook her head. "No, I feel fine."
Eric nodded and pulled his wrist to his mouth opening the skin to his blood. When it flowed he put it to her mouth, she looked up at him as she took the blood. He grinned and leaned over to bite her neck, they came again. Eric wrapped his free arm around Sookie, he could tell her knees were weakening. When his wrist closed up he pulled back, his wife was licking her lips free of his blood, she looked so sexy to him, so vampire like. "I cannot wait to the day you become a vampire Sookie."
Sookie's face snapped up. "Don't get any ideas mister, not until we are all done having kids."
Eric grinned. "And the moment our last child is weaned I will turn you."
"Well, since I don't see that happening for a while I guess you will just have to live with old part human Sookie." She reached down to get her pajamas off the floor and his clothes. "If you are going to be part of the party you need to dress the part. Jammies Eric."
He laughed and kissed her. "Of course my Queen." Eric bowed and rushed to the dresser to get his pajama bottoms and put them on.
Sookie came out of the bathroom, her kids were still sound asleep, their protection light still bright around them. She smiled and whispered. "Good night Eric." Climbing in next to her kids she got under the covers and laid down, Sookie waved her hand, the light disappeared.
"Good night my love." Eric followed suit and was in the bed then leaned over to kiss each of his children. He put his head on this pillow and turned to look at his family. Sookie closed her eyes and was sleeping in minutes. He watched them for hours until he finally let sleep take him.
