Chapter 25
Sookie was woken up by familiar voices in the house. With only a few weeks away from her due date, they decided it would be best to find a new place as to have more space for the baby. They found a cute little one-story house about ten minutes from the hospital, which was a much easier commute for Sookie. Of course, she hadn’t been there since they sent her on maternity leave a month ago.
She wanted to get married before the baby came and Eric had no complaints, it was a simple wedding ceremony of only a few close friends. It had always been a dream of hers to be married in the chapel where her parents were wed; Eric didn’t care where it happened as long as she was to officially become his wife. He was willing to do anything her heart desired, and she loved him even more for it.
Breaking out of her reverie, Sookie headed to the living room to find Eric and Pam sitting on the couch, her husband laughing at something the gorgeous blonde said. If Pam wasn’t into women, Sookie would have been very concerned to see them so close together, but since she was currently as big as a whale, the fact Pam wasn’t at all interested in Eric didn’t seem to apply at the moment. She remembered his obvious interest in her all too clearly. “What’s going on?”
Eric glanced up at Sookie, surprised to see the scowl on her face. “I’m sorry, love, we didn’t mean to wake you. Pam just came over to see how you were doing, and we just got to talking. Did you know that she used to be a stripper? Honestly, how you go from that to working as a nurse is beyond me, but it’s very impressive.”
Sookie did know that, and now Eric would have an even bigger excuse to picture Pam in the nude. “I don’t see why it matters, she’s not about to give you a free show. I know I’m pretty much repulsive right now, but I would really appreciate you not flirting with other women while I’m pregnant with your child. This is just as much your fault as it is mine.”
Eric raised his eyebrows in confusion, wondering where that came from.
Pam took that as her cue to leave. “Well, I see this is a bad time. When you pop the kid out, give me a call. You’ll likely be more pleasant then.”
Eric stood up once Pam left. “What was that about? I wasn’t flirting. She came here to see you, but I know you haven’t been sleeping well lately and didn’t have the heart to disturb you.”
Sookie felt tears form, but wasn’t about to give in to them. “I’m just feeling very unattractive, and I wake up to find Pam so close to you. I know how much you used to like her, I just panicked. I warned you that my hormones would just keep getting worse.”
He smiled softly, taking a disgruntled Sookie in his arms. “Sweetheart, you have nothing to worry about. Pam is just a friend, I could never think about another woman like that. You’re carrying my child, Sookie. Do you know how beautiful that makes you to me? No one else could ever compare.”
The tears did fall then, sniffling lightly as she clung to his shirt. “I don’t know how you’ve put up with me.”
“Simple, I love you. When you love someone as much as we do, you can pretty much handle anything.”
She smiled as well, really not able to argue with that.

Eric kissed every inch of her belly, whispering to his new daughter and telling her how excited he was to meet her. They decided not to wait to reveal the sex of the baby. It would be easier to prepare this way, and Eric could not be happier to find out he was having another girl. He raised Sookie’s leg a bit, sliding into her warm heat in one quick thrust, but being careful not to hurt her. They were told that having sex was the best way to induce labor, and with her now being a few days late, they were willing to try anything.
Sookie was relieved that he finally gave in; she had never been so uncomfortable in her life. She moaned, trailing her hands down his muscled back. Sookie cried out as she came, panting in the afterglow as Eric slid out of her.
It was a good thing that Jessica was with Amelia; her best friend had a special bond with the child and jumped at any chance she could to babysit. It was so unlike her, but ever since Amelia had been with Tray, she was a new woman. She even talked about marriage and having children of her own, which was something Sookie never would have expected.

Sookie started feeling pains the next day, gasping when her water suddenly broke.
Eric got her things together and took off for the hospital, calling Amelia to let her know what was going on and to keep Jessica with her for a little while longer. He didn’t want his daughter coming to the hospital until after the baby was born.
Nearly six hours later, Adele Olivia Northman was brought into the world, and she was beautiful.
Eric had tears in his eyes as he stared at his newest little miracle; she looked so much like Sookie. He placed the baby in her mother’s arms, watching them together in awe.
“I can’t believe we made her, she’s so perfect.”
He had to agree, gazing at them lovingly. “How could she be anything else?” Eric placed a kiss to the top of Sookie’s head, and then did the same with Adele. “You’ve given me an amazing gift, lover. I don’t know how to ever thank you.”
Sookie smiled up at him, kissing his lips sweetly just as the door to her room opened.
“Hey, are you up for some company?”
Sookie nodded at Amelia, gesturing for Jessica to come closer. “Say hello to Adele, your new sister.”
The little girl took her dad’s hand, glancing down at the infant in wonder. “She’s small.”
Eric smiled. “You were that tiny once, princess. I wish I could have known you then, but I’m going to be there every step of the way from now on. You’ll start to get sick of me.”
She shook her head, giving him a hug.
Eric wrapped his arms around her, thanking God every day that she was brought into his life.

“Are you ready for this?”
Eric nodded as he gazed at his lovely wife, Jessica at her side, with their newborn daughter asleep in her stroller. “I’m as ready as I’ll ever be.” It was only a few months ago that he finally came out to the public, that Leif Erickson and Eric Northman were one in the same. He didn’t know why he was so worried, not much had changed since the big announcement was made.
They were celebrating the release of his fourth book in the Moonlight series, which Eric came to realize was also his last. It was time to put that series to rest and start on a new adventure, one that Sookie was the complete inspiration for.
Eric smiled when the first person came up to him, going on about how his books had changed her life. He was participating in his first official book signing, which is something he never would have gotten used to before. Hearing comments like that was still pretty new, but he couldn’t help feeling flattered to know that he might have made such a big difference in someone’s life. He glanced up to see the sweet smile on Sookie’s face and realized that she did the same thing for him.
Fame would come and go, but his family meant the absolute world to Eric. He never in a million years would have imagined that this could happen to him, but he wouldn’t have it any other way.
