The preparations for the trip flew by in a haze.

Sookie found an Au Pair from Alcide's pack just like for Lex. Her name was Emily.

There were a whirl of clothes and hair appointments.

Today was the day for travel. Everyone's luggage was gathered in the foyer waiting for the airport shuttle to arrive.

"Pam, have all the clothing arrived"? Sookie asked looking at all of the bags.

"Yes, it is all on the clothing rack".

Sookie finally found he rack in the corner of the foyer and began to check labels to make sure it was all indeed there.

"Mom, can you help me with my cuff links"?

"You look so handsome just like you father". Sookie observed Lex as he came down the stairs in his suit.

"Mom, cuffs"?

"Yes, hand then to me". She held out her hand with a pout.

Sookie worked on Lex's cuffs while Pam took inventory of the luggage. Eric finally appeared from his study.

"Are we ready to go"?

"Almost, we are just waiting on the shuttles from the airport". Sookie acknowledged him while fixing Lex's second cuff link.

"You clean up nice Lex. Almost as well as me".

"Thanks Dad".

"Are you fricking kidding me?! I tell you that you look as handsome as your father and I get grief. He gives you a backhanded compliment and it's Gee, thanks dad". Sookie threw her hands in the air and walked away.

"That's your bad, if you haven't figured it out". Pam scowled at Lex.

Emily stopped on the middle step with Annabelle when three vampires turned and looked at her.

"Hi". She greeted awkwardly.

"Hello, Emily. Lex upset his mother. We will all suffer for it later".

"Fun times".

"Exactly". Pam eyed Lex.

Emily continued her trip down the stairs.

"Are all of your and Annabelle's things down here"? Eric asked.

"Yes, sir. They are in the corner by the door".

"Excellent, the shuttle should be here soon. Lex go and smooth things over with your mother before we are all confined to a small space with her".

"Yes, father".

Lex went into the kitchen where Sookie was sitting at the table.

"Hey mom".

"Hey Lex". She turned from the window.

"I'm sorry, my queen's opinion should be just as important as my king's".

"Thank you, my prince".

Lex bowed to his mother and then offered her his arm to escort her to the shuttles that had just arrived.

The shuttle workers were loading the bags into the vans. Sookie let go of Lex's arm once she reached Eric.

"He'll have a silver tongue like you one day".

"You flatter me, my queen". He smiled at her.

"Let's go. We have a kingdom to inherit". Sookie playfully slapped his arm.

The next hours were spent getting out of vans, getting onto a plain and then back into vans.

They finally arrived at the hotel that Pam had booked. The summit would be in their ballroom and so she had to make some small threats to obtain the largest suite for their clan.

"Checking in"?

"Yes, King Northman".

"Yes, sir. Your progeny booked your clan our best suite".

"I would hope so".

The clerk motioned for all of the bellhops to bring their luggage to their suite.

"Your luggage is being brought to your suite as we speak. Is there anything else that we can do for you, sir"?

"That will be all".

"Enjoy your stay, sir".

Eric turned to gather his clan to up to their suite.

"Elevators" he pointed them in the direction.

He took Sookie's hand while they waited.

"Look at what you have given me, my love".

"I only gave you the two children. Pam is your fault".

"You have given me so much, more than two children. My queen. And I take full responsibility for Pamela".

"Could you two stop talking about me like I can't hear you"? Pam gritted.

"Love you, Pam".

"And I you, my queen".

The doors to the elevator opened and they divided to board each one.

Eric pushed the button and then swiped his key after the doors closed. When the elevator doors opened, they were inside their suite.

"Everyone needs to be cleaned up and dressed for dinner in an hour". Eric directed.

Everyone scurried to their rooms to begin getting ready.

Sookie was putting in her last earring when Eric came to get her.

"Are you ready my love"?

"One more second, my love" she brushed down her dress and accessed her appearance.

"You look beautiful".

'Than you" she kissed him softly before taking his arm.

Everyone was standing in the foyer waiting for Sookie and Eric. Pam was finishing tying Lex's bow tie while Emily checked Annabelle's dress.

"Are we ready"? Eric asked.

"Yes" Pam answered while accessing her handy work on Lex's bow tie.

Emily pushed the button for the elevator before picking up the baby bag.

They entered and rode the elevator down to the ballroom. There was food from human donors to filet mignon.

"Emily will you join me"? Sookie offered while the rest determined what blood source they were going to eat from.

"I recommend the blood fountain. Your mother and Pamela will kill you if you get blood on your tux". Eric counseled.

"I'm already ahead of you". Lex responded as he grabbed a goblet.

Eric grabbed a goblet as well.

"I didn't take you for a messy eater, dad".

"I am not. I would like to remain undead and so I will drink from the fountain".

"Your mother will kill him if he drinks from a donor". Pam clarified.

"Oh" Lex understood.

Sookie and Emily went to sit at a table with other humans. Emily put Annabelle between hers and Sookie's seat.

"Who's human are you"? A curious guest asked Sookie.

"I am Eric Northman's queen".

"Oh, I have heard of you. You have vampire hybrid children".

"Yes, I do".

Sookie turned to Emily "Let's hurry and eat".

"Agreed".

"Hello, old friend". Peter greeted from beside Shane.

"Hello old friend". Eric returned.

"Pam, there is Shane". Lex pointed out.

"I am not the pressure. I am the perused, my young prince". Pam snarked.

"OK". Lex took a sip of his blood.

"Don't tell me that you have lost you queen again. Not that I would complain".

"No battle is needed. She is with the Au Pair eating their dinner".

"Shame". Peter took a sip of his blood with a smile.

"How is Compton running my territory"?

"Excellent. He has remodeled the compound to your liking as well as organized the sheriffs. It has been a smooth transition".

"Good, I will visit as soon as possible".

"When will the young prince run Nevada"?

"A little while longer".

"I understand".

"Kings, Queens and guests, please take your seats". A man announced from the stage.

"Let's find Eric". Sookie told Emily.

She nodded before gathering Annabelle and her things.

"My queen". Eric found her first.

"Yes, my king".

"Pam and Lex are at the table with King Peter".

"Lead the way". Sookie took his arm while Emily followed behind.

They took their seats just in time. The Guardian had just taken the stage.

"Kings, queens and their guests, we are here because one of our own has made a grave offence towards another of our own. King Northman will you join me while they brig in the prisoner"?

Eric stood from his seat and walked toward the stage while the guards walked de Castro onto the stage.

"Filipe de Castro aided his second in command Victor Madden in the kidnapping and imprisonment of King Eric Northman's Queen Sookie Northman while she was with child. There were other crimes that would have been committed had not for King Northman and King Bishop's rescue efforts. As Guardian, I stand as judge and a panel of your peers stood as jury. I will now read their verdict.

The Guardian was handed a gold envelope. "Guilty".

I will now pass down sentencing. The True Death. I will now authorize King Northman to carry out the sentence".

Eric walked over to the Guardian who held an ornate box that contain a stake with the same carvings as the box. He picked up the stake and then circled in front of de Castro. He then grabbed him by the hair on the top of his head to make him look Eric in the eyes while he staked him.

Fangs all over the room descended.

"That is our que to leave". Sookie told Emily as eh gathered their things to leave the ballroom.

"What is going on? Why is everyone dropping fang"? Lex questioned as they left the room.

"You are a hybrid so you can control your blood lust while others cannot". Pam explained while following behind.

Back in the ballroom the Guardian called for order.

"Order, I demand order".

The crowd calmed down and sat down.

Eric was covered in de Castro's blood.

"The spoils of war go to King Northman. King of Louisiana and Nevada".

"Thank you, Guardian".

"Please enjoy the rest of your evening". The Guardian dismissed them to mingle.

"Please excuse me to clean myself up".

"Of course. I will contact you later for further details on this matter". He dismissed Eric.

"Thank you". Eric turned to leave and find his family.

When he reached the suite, there was a buzz of everyone changing clothes removing hairpins and the like.

"Go get a shower". Sookie commanded while walking out of the bedroom.

"Yes, my queen". He smiled.

Eric came out of the shower and grabbed a towel to dry off with.

"Much better". Sookie commented.

"We will go back to Louisiana tomorrow".

"I'm glad. I am beyond ready to get back to a very dull life back home".

"How do you propose that we have this dull life"?

"I was kind of hoping that I could just speak it in to existence".

"So decrees goddess Sookie". Eric joked.

"Let's go to bed". Sookie took his hand and led him to the bed.

The next morning, the suite was an array of movements with everyone packing to leave.

"Emily are Annabel's things in the foyer"?

"Yes, they are all… there". She pointed to a set of bags.

"Lex Northman, where are your bags"?

"Right here, mother". He ran in and placed them with the others.

"They are all here. I hope". Sookie told the bellhops.

"Yes, mam". He nodded before he and others gathered the bags to take to the vans.

"Mom can you help me with my cuff links"?

"Yes, come here".

Lex handed her the cuff links and then his wrist.

Everyone began to gather while Sookie helped Lex.

"There. Let's go".

"Thank you". Lex kissed his mother's cheek.

Sookie touched her cheek with a smile on her face.

"A sixteen year old kisses you on the cheek and you swoon". Eric teased.

"Vikings are more my taste" She teased back.

"We need to go" Eric demanded.

"Yes, my king. She winked.

"Home sweet home" Sookie exclaimed ad she walked in the front door of their house hours later.

"Yes, how I have missed my room". Lex ran upstairs with his bags.

Emily followed him upstairs with Annabelle in tow to her room.

"Alone at last". Sookie sat on the couch.

Eric smiled at her and nods towards the bedroom.

"I just want to cuddle".

"You're kidding me"?!

"Nope, no more babies".

So, no sex from now until forever"?! He panicked.

"That sounds awful".

"Thank you, Pamela". Eric growled.

"Naill is waiting for Sookie in the garden". Pam announced.

Sookie walked outside. "Hello Grandfather".

"Hello Granddaughter".

"How am I able to give Eric children"? Sookie asked what was on her mind in that moment.

"I gifted you the ability".

"Why"?

"I knew that Eric could make you happy in every way but one".

"I have a prince and a princess. They make me complete".

"Are you sure that you don't want more"?

"I'm sure". Sookie smiled softly.

A soft light retreated from Sookie's abdomen.

"You will have no more children". Naill granted with slight sadness.

"Thank you". Sookie nodded before leaving to go into the house.

"What did Naill want"? Eric asked with a grump.

"I asked him to correct nature".

"No more babies"?

"No more babies".

"This will make you safe, my love". Eric took her hand and pulled her to him.

"I know. I was never meant to have Lex and Annabelle but I am incredibly grateful to my grandfather for giving them to us. He knew how much that I love you".

"Not as much as I love you".

"I think I'm going to have to see it…you know to believe it". She winked.

"Yeah"?

"Yeah".

Eric stood up from the couch and threw Sookie over his shoulder with vampire speed.

"Are you ready for a storm"? He questioned.

"No! No more storms".
