Thank you all for your reviews. Please keep them coming. I do not own these characters, just playing with them.

Eric got Pam home and give her a bath. When she asked if Sookie could be her mom he didn't know what to say. So he just changed the subject. He liked Sookie. He liked her a little to well. But He hadn't even thought about getting married again after Nora. That was a mistake he didn't want to repeat. He loved Nora and he didn't regret Pam. But Pam was brought into a bad situation. Nora wouldn't even have sex with him after Pam was born. So he had put all of that on the back burner when Nora got sick. So when he did go out the few times he had, needless to say, he did have sex. He needed it. Hell he needed it for his sanity. So he could feel normal again. When Eric got Pam out of the tub, he put her pajamas on. And it was time to read a story. By the time he had made it to the end, Pam was asleep. He got up and went and took a shower. While in there he started to think about Sookie. He grabbed his hard cock and began to stroke. He imagined it was Sookie playing with his cock. He was calling her name as he came down the drain. His cock went soft. He felt satisfied. So he got out of the tub and went to bed himself. But he didn't find sleep as easy as Pam had. He had to come up with a way to get Sookie to go out with him. So he planned and planned. And when he was sure he had a good enough plan, he drifted off to sleep.

Back at Fallen Stars Ranch, Sookie wouldn't much better. She had talked to her Gran, and Dad and mom before she went to dance. She thought maybe she would give herself out dancing. And then she would go home. But tonight when she danced, she didn't think of Alcide. She thought about Eric's deep blue eyes. And how loving and caring he looked at Pam. She was still worried she hurt Pam's feelings. She left the dance studio 2 hours before daybreak. She had stayed a lot longer than she planned. She made it home and took a shower and went to sleep. It would not be long till she could see them again.

Eric woke to his alarm. He went and put some coffee on. And went through his morning routine. He cooked Pam some pancakes and bacon, and eggs. He went to get Pam up so she could eat.

Eric: Pam, My Princess. Please get up.

He was shaking her lightly trying to get her to wake.

Pam: Morning daddy.

Eric: Pam please get up and eat breakfast. We need to go into town before your lesson today.

Pam: ok daddy, I have to tinkle.

Eric: Ok sweetheart. You go do what you need to then come down. Make sure to wash your hands.

Eric went back to the kitchen and filled his coffee cup. He wondered if Sookie liked coffee. Pam come into the kitchen. They ate and went and got ready to go to the grocery store.

They pulled up at the local grocery store and went in. When they went through the produce isle, there stood Sookie. Pam went running up to Sookie , hugging her. Sookie spoke first," Hello there Miss Pam. How are you doing this morning?" Pam replied, "I'm good. We had to come and get groceries. Sookie looked up to Eric, " I had to come get more apples for the horses and figured I would get groceries for my house." Eric thought she stayed in the main house and said as much. " No, I only stay at the main house when Gran would be alone. I have my own house on the property. It's down by the lake. I wanted a little privacy when they built mine." Eric just nodded. Pam was talking to Sookie about their lessons. Then Pam asked Sookie if she could just go home with her. Eric got on to Pam. "Pam you don't invite yourself to peoples houses. It's rude." Sookie was having none of it though. " Eric its fine, she can come with me and I'll fix y'all some lunch. Me and Pam can bake some cookies before you get there. The only thing I have to do today is make sure my surgical supplies are in. Put Pam can help with that. If you don't mind." How could Eric argue. He would get to go to Sookie's house. He nodded his approval. " ok , but only if you are sure. And I will warn you now, she does not have a filter on her mouth and if she gets into any problem just call me. Here let me have your phone and I'll program it in." Sookie shook her head. " Just text me. And I'll have yours, and you'll have mine," Eric was liking this better and better. " OK that's done. Pam please be good. I may go workout before I come by. But I should be there around 1:00. Sound good?" Sookie nodded yes," You can workout at the ranch if you want to. There is a gym there with everything you would need. My brother Jason had it fixed for us. Just bring a extra set of clothes and you can shower in my spare room. Also bring you and Pam a bathing suit. We can swim at the creek for awhile" Eric smiled, " Sounds good. Give me a hug Princess. And if you need me for anything just call. Pam just told him Bye and turned to Sookie ready to get going. Sookie said bye also.. With that he watched his two favorite people walk away. He couldn't wipe the smile off his face.

When Eric pulled up to Sookie's house it looked inviting. It was a two story antebellum home. It was yellow with green shutters. And the porch went all the way around the house. It was beautiful. And in the drive was 4-Door pick-up. He was assuming it was Sookie's. When he went on the front porch he heard Pam laughing. He knocked on the door. Sookie answered and she had on very red lipstick, it wouldn't quite on her lips. And had on very dark blush. She was giggling. Sookie said, " Mr. Northman want you come in. Pam was trying to put my make up on me, and we lost track of time." Eric smiled. Sookie was good with Pam. And Pam needed a woman in her life. Eric walked house was gorgeous. But Pam run up to him and was telling him about the cookies they we're how Her and Sookie was playing dress up. Sookie led Eric into the kitchen, " Something smells good. What kind of cookies have you been cooking? , Eric said. Sookie and Pam giggled. Eric knew then they had bonded in some way. He was grateful for it. Sookie and Pam made him sit down at the table so they could get went and washed up and brought in a plate of sloppy joes and onion rings. Pam brought the buns in. They all sit down to eat. Sookie said grace. " Pam , have you had fun with Sookie? I hope you have been good for her." Eric said. Pam nodded and said " Yes daddy, I've been good. We made cookies and lunch and Sookie let me play dress up. She has lots of pretty dresses." Eric smiled. " Sookie, was she ok?" Eric asked just to make sure. " She was a little angel. We've had fun. I hope you don't mind, but I told her we could have a sleep over one night and do the whole girl thing." Sookie said .

Sookie: Alright, after we eat, I'll load the dishwasher. When I get done Eric, I'll take you to the gym. Some of the helpers work out to. I hope you don't mind. Pam , you and I will look around the dance studio till you dad gets done, then we'll do your lessons.

Pam: Yeah!

Eric: Sookie we can help. Pam helps at home also.

Sookie: No Eric, let her play this time. She found some of my old toys. Let her play with them. I'll be fine I promise.

Eric: If you are sure. Do I need to change here or at the gym?

Sookie: You can change there. There is a shower and everything you can use.

Eric: Thank you Sookie.

Sookie: No need to thank me. O.k. I'm going to start the dishes. You can look around. Pam knows where everything is. The remotes is on the coffee table. Do you need a beer?

Eric: Sookie I can help. And no thank you to the beer.

Sookie: No Eric, you are my guest. Please go sit down, I'll bring you a beer. Al always liked a beer after lunch when he was a home.

Sookie looked down. She didn't mean to bring Alcide up.

Pam: Who's Al?

Sookie looked up at Eric first, the to Pam.

Sookie: He was someone very special to me. But he had to go away. But I still think about him.

Pam: Why did he go away?

Sookie was nearly in tears at this point. But she wanted to answer Pam's question. Eric tried to get Pam's attention on something else. But it wouldn't working. Eric heard Sookie speak just above a whisper, " He had to go to heaven. God needed him more than me. So I had to let him go." Eric didn't know what to do. So he sent Pam to play with the toys she had found earlier. He got up and bent to Sookie's level. And he embraced her. And Sookie let him. She cried on his shoulder. Eric just rocked her gently back and fourth. And when Sookie was done crying, She looked in Eric's baby blue eyes and seen someone just as lost as her. She wanted to kiss him so badly. But she couldn't, not yet. And she hoped Eric felt the same. Eric could feel the mood shift. This was getting to be a little to raw. Pam was in the next room. And the sexual energy was enough to explode at any second. Why, oh why did he look into her eyes? When he looked into her eyes he slowly made his way to her cheek and kissed it. And he lightly whispered, " You are not ready yet. But when you are, I'll be here. We have all the time in the world. We'll be friends first, then more. But right now, you need a friend. And I want to be that." With that he kissed her cheek again, and looked into her eyes. She was crying again. But at least now she had a smile on her face. She cupped his cheek and just looked at him. She hadn't felt this since Alcide. Alcide would want her to be happy. She knew that. Maybe, just maybe this was right. " I'd like that. And I want to get to know Pam also, if you don't mind." Sookie said.

Eric nodded his approval, " Of course, I wouldn't have it any other way." Eric said. Pam come bouncing in to the kitchen .She seen Sookie had been crying, "Miss Sookie did you get a Ouchie? Daddy is good with Ouchies. He Will make you feel better." Pam said. Sookie looked back at Eric and said, " He already has." At these words, Eric stomach done that flutter thing that happened every time he saw Sookie. He knew she was different. He just didn't realize how much she would change his life…..
