AN: Hey y'all I am so glad that so many of you liked the last chapter. I hope this one is just as good. Random news I had a preliminary interview for a teaching job. The district I want to work in held a job fair that aloud for one on one interviews with administrators. This was essentially the first of a few interviews. I am hoping that I will get a phone call soon for a second interview. Also I started posting a series of one shots that were inspired by some of my favorite songs. It only has two pieces to it so far but I am working on a third. I changed the title it is now Melodic Moments. Please go check it out when you are done with this chapter. As always please read, enjoy and review.

Chapter 19 Showers and Shocks

Sookie's Point of View

I sit there for a minute before my mind clears of everything Claude was telling me. I can't believe he is that old. I mean really that is just crazy. I should probably be madder than I am that Preston showed up. At least that is what I was getting from Claude. Godric catches my attention. "Little one you really need to get cleaned up. We have a meeting with King Davis before we leave for the airport. I fear that with the lovely smell your guests have left on you it may attract the wrong attention." He offers me his hand and leads me to the bathroom.

"Wait I don't have anything to wear. Do you know what happened to my clothes?" I ask pausing in the doorway.

"I gathered what was left after the explosion. It is in the case in the closet. However I am going to have the front desk send up some more appropriate dresses for the evening." He explains.

"Ok well can you hand me some underthings a shirt that I can put on in the mean time? And not to sound pushy but can you get a dress I can wear a bra with?" I blush.

"Of course Little one I will place them in the bathroom. Take your time and relax." He agrees picking up the room phone. I decide to make use of the shower. I let the water run and build up steam before I clime in. I let the water rush over me relaxing my shoulders. After a while I wash my hair with one of those little bottles of hotel shampoo and moan at how wonderful it feels to rub my head. I hear the door to the bathroom open I assume it is Godric leaving the items I asked for on the counter. I move to grab the conditioner when the door to the shower opens.

Eric's Point of View

The most deliciously intoxicating scent surrounds me when I come to. I just want to lick it, and rub it all over myself. I also hear water running and the exquisite moan of my Lover. Well if there was ever so obvious an invitation then I don't know what it was. I stripped down and speed into the bathroom. I open the shower door and gaze at my little fairy. Water dripped in streams down her back and wonderful ass. While the scent that was permeating through the suite was amazing it is even better with Sookie's natural fragrance mixed in. "Lover what have you been doing today." I run my nose along her shoulder and purr with desire.

"N…nn…othin' really I talked with my cousin." She shivers with delight.

"Which cousin?" I question as my arms slide through her sudsy hair.

"Oooohhh" she moans before continuing. "My fairy cousin Claude."

Before this can sink in Godric enters the bathroom. "Eric we do not have time you two to play. We need to meet with King Davis in twenty minutes. Sookie needs to decide on what she wants to wear. Finish up quickly." He directs placing a pile of undergarments on the counter.

"I'm all done you can finish up in here by yourself." Sookie says stepping around me and moving to get out of the shower. I am left aroused with no way to fix it but by my own hand. Before Sookie is even dry I deal with my shower need and am dry myself. "You know it is not fair how quick you can do that." She huffs wrapping herself in her towel.

"I would be more than willing to speed up the process for you." I smirk as I step closer.

"No sir, you already wound me up once. You just stay there." She points her finger at me.

"I am sure we could figure out how to unwind you." My smirk widens. She shakes her head. "Well if you are sure I will be in the other room with Godric."

"You know that if you push her to far one of these times it may not be enough to smile and flirt in an attempt to get out of it." Godric said sagely.

"Oh but how sweet it will be to try." I dress quickly and look at the collection of items waiting for Sookie's perusal. If he thinks that I am pushing too much he should look in the mirror not that I would ever give voice to such thoughts. I suppose what is natural for us to want to provide everything for her but I wonder if she will continue to be so accepting.

"Is all of this for me?" Sookie asks looking at the collection of clothing.

"Only what you want I will send the rest back." Godric reassured.

"Oh um … ok I kind of like this one." She pulls out a midnight blue tea length gown. The bodice is overlaid with lace of the same color. It has thick straps that create a halter top illusion. I find that it pales in beauty to our darling little fairy. She disappears into the bathroom for some privacy. I chuckle to myself her need for modesty astounds me when I have seen and touch her sun kissed skin. "I heard that." She huffed from the bathroom door.

"It seems that we will have to work on your shields Lover if I am to ever have a private thought."

"Can you zip this for me?" She turned her back to me and moved her still most hair out of the way.

"Is there anything else I can do to be of service?" I try to contain my lecherous thoughts.

"Yeah can you do a braid for me?" She handed me a brush. I will never get tired of running my fingers through her hair. I create three small braids on the left side of her head and pull them to the back of her head. I do the same on the right and then weave the small braids into one large one. I leave the rest of her hair down allowing it to curl slightly. "Thank you Eric." She smiled sweetly. We made our way to the Kings suite. Stan was lounging on the sofa with his telepath fidgeting in the kitchenette.

"Good you are both here. Your human can entertain Barry for a while." Stan declares. I nod to Sookie that she and Barry can go talk. He takes her into one of the bedrooms in the suite. While I don't like having her out of my sight it is probably better that she is not in the room with us. "Farrel tells me that the bombers have been dealt with. How many from the area survived?" He directs his question to my master.

"We only lost three area vampires. It was a larger loss of human life. The rest have all checked in that they are safe and in hiding."

"Good, now what is this I hear about you wanting to step down as sheriff?" Stan leans forward.

"I would like to take some time to reconnect with my progeny. I feel that it would be better if someone else stepped in for now. I will be relocating to my progeny's area for the foreseeable future." Godric explained carefully.

"Is there nothing I can do to convince you to stay? Well then. If ever you have need of refuge I would be more than happy to take you in. You can always consider the great state of Texas your home." He smirks knowingly at the two of us.

"That is much appreciated your highness. Is there anything else you need from me?" Godric moves to stand.

"As a matter of fact yes, my telepath seems to be quite taken with yours." As he says this I can hear Sookie say Cheese and rice.

"How long have you known what she is?" I ask cautiously.

"Since you arrived, I won't take her from you. I was hoping that she could help Barry work on his ability some. I noticed that they communicate well with one another. She seems more gifted them he is." Stan holds his hands up. Sookie and Barry renter the living room area.

"I will work with him but I need to get home and check on my house and brother." Sookie offers.

"Thank you my dear. If it is agreeable with you two I think that Barry and I could use a vacation after the drama that has occurred recently. Would you mind hosting an old friend Northman?"

I look to Godric for a moment and see that this many be beneficial to us as well. "I am sure we can accommodate you. We are planning to leave after our meeting with you. We are flying back to Shreveport."

"Wonderful we will fly with you. I will have two of my guards retrieve some of our things and meet you in the lobby in say thirty minutes." We agree and leave to collect the items in our room.

I pull out my phone and fire off a text to Pamela.

E: We will be leaving shortly for the airport. I have some guests coming with us. Be prepared to issue a royal welcome.

P: Oh lovely. I have a royal guest of my own. Bitch Boy is here.

E: What does he want?

P: Honestly to warn us of Sophie Anne's intentions. She has lost her pet Hadley and sent him to retrieve her. However he does not seem to be trying too hard to find the girl.

E: Interesting has he said anything else that would be useful?

P: He appears to want out from under her control. I think it would be wise to talk with him when you get here.

E: Noted I will see you when we land. I close my phone. As a group we are riding in one of Stan's cars to the air strip.

Hadley's Point of View

I settle Hunter on his bed while I pack his things. I follow Remy's instructions and load up all of Hunter's clothes and toys. He falls asleep as we drive towards Bon Temps. "Remy I think we should go to Sookie's brother's house first. Jason and I always got on well. He will know what to say to her."

"Whatever it is still the same town anit it?"

"Yes it is." I answer. We stop talking as he drives. I honestly have no idea if seeing Jason first will do any good but it is a shot I am going to have to take. If he can't help then surely Gran will. I may have left on bad terms but I know Gran will love us no matter what. It only takes us about an hour before we are pulling up to Jason's house. It looks just like it did when I left. I help Hunter out of his car seat and carry him to the front door. I ring the doorbell.

"Hold on, just a minute." I hear Jason yell from inside. He opens the door with a beer in his hand. "What can I do you for?" He asks taking a drink. I guess it was too much to hope he would recognize me.

"Jason it's me Hadley. We can for a visit."

"Nah shit that's really you. Well come on in. It's been a while." He swears stepping back to take a good look at us. We follow him in and sit on the couch.

"Yes this is Remy and this little guy is our son Hunter. Hunter, say hi to your cousin Jason." I introduce us.

"Hi I like you. Your head is the same as your mouth." My eyes go wide and my heart almost stops.

"Hey yourself little man." I can't believe Jason isn't reacting. "You know my sister Sookie is like you. She can hear head voices too." He blows me away at just how accepting he is. I can only hope that Sookie with be that same.

"Yeah about that Jason we need Sookie's help. Do you think she will want to see us? I mean I thought about us just going straight to Gran's but I didn't know how we would be received." I look down.

"It's a good thing you didn't cause no one is there. Sookie is away for work."

"What about Gran I would have thought she would still be at home? Wait a minute isn't Sookie a waitress?" I question not understanding.

"I am sorry to have to tell you but I guess you don't know Gran passed away a while back in her sleep." He looks real sad. I know how he feels. I wish I could have come home sooner. I wish I could have apologized. Tears start streaming down my face.

"Mommy it's ok Gran knows. She says she is just happy you came home now." Hunters says hugging me. Well shit that's new.
