A/N: HeartwarmingThanksgiving story. Something happens to Sookie her first semester in college which causes her to come back home. Five years later on Thanksgiving, everyone gets what they have been secretly wishing for.

Sookie:

I don't regret one moment of my life. Eric is five now and the best thing that ever happened to me. Sure when my life went to shit, I was miserable at first. After I saw Eric's face and heard him scream his lungs out, I said a prayer and thanked every god I could think of. I still marvel at the miracle of him. Who gets pregnant from a one night stand and who doesn't even know the last name of the father of her son? I mentally raise my hand. Those moments too will forever be etched in my brain, because that one night not only gave me my son Eric, I felt passion for the first time. I hope that I will find someone someday who will accept my little family and I as a total package and who I will feel that same passion I felt the night I met Eric's father.

I hadn't yet turned 18 when I started LSU. Gran had scrimped and saved her money to send me to college and I wasn't going to disappoint her. I always got A's in high school and actually cried when I got a B+. Gran would just tell me that I was the smartest person she had the pleasure of knowing and I had a very bright future ahead of me.

My roommate in college and I were two entirely different beings and we rarely spoke. I was backwoods country and very shy. She was dressed in black with multiple tattoos and multiple piercings. I actually thought she was really cool, but I just felt she didn't like me much.

To my surprise, one night she actually spoke to me and she invited me to go to a party with her. She confessed that she didn't know many people either and since we were sleeping under the same roof, I was the closest thing to a friend she had. I couldn't believe that I finally had a friend and thank God, because it was becoming very difficult living with someone who didn't talk to me.

I was nervous about going to my first college party….shit my first party at any age. I spent most of my time growing up on my Gran's farm and we didn't get into town much. I used to get invited to parties when I was young. It wasn't that I couldn't go, it was just that Gran didn't have a car for many years, so I had no way of getting to anything at night. The city didn't come out our way at night and a taxi was way too expensive. Gran finally got me a car when I graduated, so I would have a way to get around while I was at college.

The party was held at one of the Frat houses and my roommate warned me that it was probably going to get really crazy. Since it was just September and the beginning of the semester, I didn't really know anything about college life or Frat houses for that matter. I just trusted my roommate's opinion…..I had to since I didn't know anyone else.

The house was huge and looked to be over 100 years old. You could hear the loud music from the street and we had to park four blocks away because there were so many cars. Carrie, my roommate, and I made our way through the house and out the French doors to the backyard. There were four kegs of beer in tubs of ice and Carrie got two cups and filled them with Coors Lite. She handed me one and I reluctantly took it. Then I just said "Fuck It" and decided to just go for it and drink. I have to admit I never really drank before. Jason and I would sneak Gran's cooking Sherry, but that was the only alcohol I ever tasted. I'm not a goody goody or religious fanatic; I just did not have the opportunity to drink.

There was a group of kids surrounding a ping pong table and they were playing a drinking game called beer pong. It looked like a lot of fun so Carrie and I waited our turn to play. I was pretty athletic in high school and when it came our turn, I always seemed to get the ping pong ball into one of the cups with beer. Thank God because I don't think I would have been able to drink that much beer if we had missed all the time.

After Carrie and I won three games, I was in the process of sipping a little of my beer when our new challengers stepped up to the table. Someone cleared their throat making me turn around….and what a surprise. Holy fuck! There stood two guys and as far as I'm concerned guys like these two do not exist in real life. The one that cleared his throat was pretty hot. He stood about 6'2" and had brown hair and brown eyes. He introduced himself as Alcide and he winked at me. Holy fuck again! The other guy was the one who made my heart skip a beat. He was Adonis and from the way the girls sitting around the backyard were eyeing him, he definitely was the star of this show. He too stood around 6'3" maybe 6'4", but it was his long blond hair and steel blue eyes that caught my attention. His stare was panty dropping and he had his eyes aimed at me. His face was so beautiful; he looked as though he had just come from a photo shoot for GQ Magazine.

The beautiful one spoke, "You girls seem to be having a run of luck. My friend Alcide and I are…..bringing you down!" He started to laugh and his confidence as he spoke made my lady parts feel something good but definitely alien to anything I ever felt before.

As the game progressed, I was distracted by watching the blond God's muscles in his arms move as he aimed and threw the ball. He was very good and he too got the ball in almost every time. Needless to say, Carrie and I had to drink a lot more beer than we had the last three games. The game was still very close however, because even though I had just drunk more beer than I had ever had in my life, I was still able to remain very competitive. It seemed like Mr. Hottie and I were the only two playing the way he kept staring at me. I didn't know if he was interested in me or just trying to distract me so I would miss. Whatever it was, I certainly enjoyed the attention. I have to admit even though I consider myself a country bumpkin; I still know I am pretty good looking. Of course not as hot as the women at this party, but I have turned a few heads. I was wearing jean shorts and a white tank top that showed off my tan. I decided to wear my long, blond hair down and I didn't look half bad when we left the Dorm. I did notice guys looking at us as we walked through the house, but I just figured Carrie was getting all the attention.

The game was close, but Carrie and I lost. I was glad because I was probably ready to go. Honestly I didn't think I could watch the blond God play kissy face with one of the hot girls that were ready to pounce on him. He surprised me though and ignored the sexy girls and followed me into the house. I had to pee like an M-f'er, so I made a beeline to the bathroom. The door was locked and from behind me I heard Mr. Hottie say, "There's one upstairs. No one is supposed to go up there, but I'll take you if you really need to use the bathroom."

"That would be really good….because yeah….um….I really do need to go….thanks." Was all I could say to him.

"My name is Eric, I apologize for not introducing myself earlier." I nodded at Eric and followed him to a door. "There is a keypad and only the Frat brothers are allowed upstairs." Eric said as he keyed in the number and opened the door to the stairway. I guess they didn't want anyone messing in their private space. Actually that was a good idea. I had heard of people having parties and the next day lap tops, iPods and even money would end up missing.

I followed Eric up the stairs and it was really quiet compared to the party downstairs. He pointed to the bathroom door and I gladly went in and did my business. Eric was waiting for me when I finished and I was ready for him to lead me back downstairs when he asked, "Would you like to see my room?"

"I…..um….I don't know. I thought I wasn't supposed to be up here. I would hate for you to get into trouble. I really appreciate your kindness, Eric. Oh….I'm sorry….my name is Sookie." I put my hand out to shake his and as he touched my hand he brought it up to his mouth and kissed it very softly all the while staring deep into my eyes. I didn't know if it was the beer or Eric's touch, but he pulled me toward him and I went with his motions. We stood in front of the bathroom in a very warm, sensual embrace and it felt so good as I laid my head on his chest. He seemed to be lost in my scent as he kept smelling my hair.

"You smell so good, Sookie. I'm puzzled as to why I've never met you before. We have parties all the time and this is the first time I've seen you here." Eric kept smelling and kissing the top of my head and I became dizzy from his touch and his masculine scent. His tight t-shirt smelled clean with just a hint of cologne. Since I had never been this close to a boy before I couldn't tell you what kind it was, I just know his touch and his smell and his soft voice made me shiver.

"I….I'm a freshman. I just started school, so actually this is my first party. How long have you been going to LSU, Eric?" I asked him as he started to rub circles on my back and all of a sudden I felt something I had never, ever felt before. Eric's pants began to get a really hard and huge bulge in the front and he began to press harder against me. I couldn't help myself as I pushed back. The pressure against his bulge was amazing and my panties were quickly becoming wet.

"I'm a senior. Thank the gods this is my last year here and then I'm off to Europe for a much needed vacation." He whispered as he began to move his lips to my ear and then….oh my God!...to my neck. I melted! I fucking melted right then and there. Eric could do whatever he wanted with me or to me, because what I was feeling at the moment was amazing. When he finally reached my lips, he had probably kissed every part of my neck and face. He stared at me for a moment before our lips met and just like in the movies…..electricity, fireworks, bells ringing…..I was a goner. Kissing Eric felt so right and our bodies continued to press against each other. All of a sudden Eric stopped kissing me and asked, "My room?"

All I could do was nod. I was speechless. He picked me up with ease and carried me bridal style to a huge bedroom. It was very masculine with all kinds of sports memorabilia, banners and posters all over the walls. Definitely looked like a students room, there were books piled up on the floor and a computer at a huge desk in one corner of the room. He softly laid me on his bed and asked me if I wanted this.

Whatever he wanted to give me was what I wanted. I didn't want to separate from this beautiful man. The feelings that were giving birth inside of me were so powerful I couldn't say no even if I knew I should. I'm a big girl. I'm a college student. I will probably never see Eric after tonight, so I told myself to just go with it. There was certainly a tremendous amount of passion between us and even though I had never really kissed a boy before, I just mimicked what Eric was doing to me. I'm a pretty fast learner as I heard Eric begin to moan. Before I knew it my tank top was gone and he was unfastening my bra. My breasts had never been touched before especially the way Eric was going about it. He was sitting with his back against the headboard and he positioned me on his lap straddling his erection….which actually looked very painful. He stared at my breasts for the longest time and then said, "Sookie, you are so beautiful. Where have you been all my life?" A fucking line I know…..but for that moment in time….I believed him. I truly believed that he wanted me and meant every word he said to me.

With that he slowly licked my right nipple and twirled his tongue around it before he latched on and nibbled a little as I felt his teeth. His hand was on the other breast as his thumb slowly mimicked what his tongue was doing to my other breast. I was moaning and gasping out loud. I didn't recognize myself at that moment, because I was totally lost in Eric and what he was doing to me. I grabbed the bottom of his t-shirt and started to pull it up and off of him. He obliged and threw the shirt on the floor next to my tank top and bra. He had the most beautiful chest and stomach muscles and I couldn't keep my mouth off of him. At first he wanted to press his chest to mine and the skin on skin contact drove me over whatever cliff I was teetering on. I was in all the way. There was no stopping this. I began to once again mimic Eric's actions by licking and sucking on each of his pebbled nipples. He leaned back against the headboard and moaned and groaned my name. "Sookie, you are so beautiful I need to be inside of you now. He stood up as I clung to him with my legs wrapped around him. I felt like a child holding on to her daddy for dear life, but I wasn't about to let go of him. He let go of me and stood me in front of him as he unzipped his jeans and they were down to his ankles and kicked off in no time. There he stood in all his glory. I tried to remember if I had ever seen even a picture of a man who remotely looked as beautiful as Eric, but I couldn't. I'd already marveled at his chest and tight stomach muscles, but his manhood had a life of its own. It was large and thick and jutted out from his body. I gasped as I stared at him and he seemed to enjoy the attention. I didn't know whether or not I should be bold and touch it, so I chose to stand back and just admire his beauty. All of a sudden he realized that I still had on my shorts so he grabbed my zipper and pulled me to him again. He started kissing my neck as he unzipped my shorts and in one motion they were on the pile along with my thong.

He stood back and stared at me. He seemed to like what he saw and I wasn't about to deny him. He once again pulled me to him and we stood there totally naked, humping and kissing deeply. Eric finally picked me up again and laid me on his bed. I was acting on impulse as I spread my legs giving him access to my lady parts. He began to rub my clit and I felt a build up. As I cried out his name he must have acted on impulse too because before my orgasm began he pushed his huge erection into me. My orgasm was full blown as I felt him slightly inside of me. My inner walls were pulsing and I heard Eric moan as he pressed further inside of me. It was as if I was sucking him in and he couldn't help himself. Even though the orgasm was amazing, him being inside made it so much better. .He must have hit my hymen, because it hurt like a mother fucker, but because I was still in the process of an orgasm I pushed up into him and he filled me completely.

"Sookie, you are so wet and so tight. You feel so good. So good." Eric kept still while I finished my orgasm and then he began to move. First it was slow as he pulled out and rammed back into me. In…out…in…..out "So soft, so tight, so good…..Sookie….oh my God." Before I knew it another strong orgasm hit me as I felt Eric hit a spot. His cock began to spasm along with my inner walls. I could feel his warm seed spilling into me and we kept moving right along with our mutual orgasms. I honestly had never felt anything so good in my life. I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Our orgasm continued as his movements continued. I heard Eric say, "Never in my life…so good….Sookie…..so fucking good."

After experiencing such powerful emotions, we both laid there panting not believing what had just happened. Eric continued to kiss and caress me and mumbling, "So fucking hot. Never in my life." But he didn't finish. I didn't know what he meant by his words, but reality hit him as he reluctantly pulled out. I whimpered a little at the loss of him. He felt so right being inside of me. He fit perfectly and I couldn't believe that I still wanted more.

"Fuck…..fuck….fuck. I'm so sorry, Sookie I forgot a condom. I'm clean don't worry, I always wear a condom, but you were so fucking hot, I lost it. Can you forgive me? Are you on the pill….or what….are you clean?" Eric was so scared; I didn't want to upset him so of course I lied. He had brought me so much pleasure; I didn't want to ruin the moment.

"Um…yeah…I'm on the pill. I've never had sex before, so…..yeah….I'm clean." I told him. I know I will never see him again, so why not make him feel okay about what just happened.

"You were a….virgin? I'm so sorry, Sookie. It's just that you felt so good and you are so beautiful…my emotions and my fucking cock took on a mind of its own. I'm so sorry." Eric put his hands on his face and I felt so sorry for him. I had to fix this.

"Eric, look at me. You were amazing and you made my first time the most enjoyable experience of my entire life. I just seriously want to thank you for this. You are an amazing man and I wish you a wonderful life. Thank you, Eric." I kissed him softly on the lips and the passion began to return. I knew I had to be strong because Eric began to weaken again. I could tell that he would have continued the whole night and so would I, but I put on my big girl panties and got dressed. I thanked him again and with tears in my eyes I walked out of his room and out of his life.

ooOooOooOoo

That was five years ago and needless to say I got pregnant. Oh I saw Eric again around the campus, but there was always a different beautiful girl with him. After I found out I was pregnant there was no way I could tell him. I wanted to remember him the way he was that night. I was afraid that if I told him about my condition he would say…."Who are you again? Why are you telling me this….how can you be sure I'm the father anyway? Well if you are pregnant….just fucking take care of it." I couldn't bear that,so I just decided to leave after the first semester was over and headed for the safety of Bon Temps and my Gran.

Gran was so good about the baby. I told her that I made a mistake and had sex with a very handsome boy one time. It wasn't anyone else's business why I was pregnant, but Gran and I made up a story just in case everyone got nosey. It was a small town and gossip was a favorite pastime. I know I could have had an abortion and I certainly considered it. I just figured that we can't always chose the time and circumstances when we have a baby. What if I got rid of this baby and four or five years later I found out I couldn't have children? I would just accept my condition and raise this baby with a lot of love and as much patience an 18 year old could come up with. Lots of girls raise babies without a daddy nowadays and I was prepared to do it too.

Right around Eric's second birthday, my brother Jason surprised us by bringing home an infant daughter. He'd moved to California a year earlier and apparently his girlfriend decided she couldn't handle being a mommy, so she left one evening and never came back. Jason didn't know what to do, so he packed up and came home just like I did. We were one big happy family for awhile until Jason decided to go back to California. He wasn't able to get a good paying job in Bon Temps so he said he needed to go back to his job in California. He said he worked for the county of Los Angeles and made a good salary. He didn't want to take Katie with him because he wasn't comfortable leaving her with anyone else while he was working. He promised he would send money when he could. At first he would write and call, but as time went by his letters and calls stopped completely. He never sent money, so we assumed he didn't get his job back. We were fine and Katie wasn't that expensive. We just washed a lot of cloth diapers and made our own baby food when she began to eat. The children were growing up healthy and happy and Eric and Katie were inseparable. He called her his Sissy and she called him her Buddy. The nicknames stuck

A little over a year after Jason left, Gran started forgetting things and having terrible headaches. She had Medicare, but even the 20% that we had to pay was too much so it took her awhile before I got her to go to the doctor. After numerous expensive tests she was told she had an inoperable brain tumor and she didn't have too long to live. That will be $3,000 thank you very much. She dug into her savings account to pay her part of her expensive tests and came home to die. We buried her in the graveyard that was close to our house, so the kids and I could go and talk to her anytime we felt the need. Eric and Katie loved their Granny and I didn't know how I was going to make it without her. She left me the farmhouse and she had a little money in savings, but I needed to get a better paying job. I couldn't locate Jason to tell him about Gran, so I just hoped he would come home soon. He promised he would check in every now and then to visit Katie, but he never did.

I worked as a waitress at Sam's Place in Bon Temps. My boss, Sam Merlotte had a thing for me and kept trying to get me to go out with him. I wanted to keep my job, so I just told him I didn't date because of the children. Before Gran died I was getting ready to return to school. I knew the only way I would be able to afford two children and an aging parent, would be to get a degree. That plan went to shit when she died.

Since Gran's death, the kids and I spent our Thanksgiving Days at the Veterans' Hall in Bon Temps. I decided it was better to teach them to give your time rather than sit around the house all day and wait for me to cook for them. Another good thing about spending our day there was the kids and I could eat after our shift was done. If it wasn't for that Thanksgiving Day feast, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to buy a turkey and all the fixin's. I was too proud to ask for help from Welfare or get food stamps. Looking back I realize I should have at least gotten food stamps just to feed the kids. I had a job and there were so many people out there who had nothing, I would have felt guilty taking food away from them. I just made ends meet the best I could.

Since tomorrow was Thanksgiving I had a lot to do around the house because we would be gone all day. I worked a double shift and Sam always let me bring home food for the kids. It was already dark when I finally picked up the kids at Mrs. Fortenberry's house and headed home. I had just carried a sleeping Katie in and put her in her bed when Eric and I went back to the car to get the food. As I stepped on the first step of the porch, my foot slipped and I lost my balance. I tried to catch myself, but I couldn't and I fell backwards on my head. Eric looked down at me as I watched his mouth move, but had difficulty hearing him…."Mommy…are you okay?" Then I blacked out.

Little Eric Stackhouse:

"Mommy…..mommy….wake up." I started to shake her, but she wasn't moving. Her head was bleeding. I didn't know what to do, so I ran in the house and woke up Katie to tell her that Mommy was hurt.

"Sissy, we need to go to that house next door that Mommy told us not to know about. Member…..we were talking to Granny one day while Mommy was sleeping and we saw a man drive up to that nice house in a red car?" Katie nodded her head as we headed past Mommy and ran holding hands through the Graveyard. We stopped at Granny's grave to tell her about Mommy and then we were in front of the house. It smelled like someone was baking stuff. We both sniffed in the air and looked at each other and licked our lips. Our Mommy is a good cooker and baker, but we have no money right now….so we can't get a lot of goodies. Mommy always says pretty soon! We walked up the porch….I always have to help my sissy because she is only three and she can't go up big steps good. There was a bell to ring but I couldn't reach it. I started to knock on the door, but the music was so loud coming from the house, the man couldn't hear me. Katie and I both started to pound on the door. All of a sudden the music stopped and the door started to open. A really, really, really tall man and a pretty lady came to the door and looked straight above us. They looked at each other and shrugged and started to close the door and we started to laugh at them. They were so silly for not seeing us, we kept giggling and they both looked down at us. Oh that was so much fun! We surprised them….oh yeah I forgot about Mommy.

"Please could you help me and Sissy? My Mommy fell and hit her head and she can't hear me. I can't call 911 because we don't have any assurance." I asked the big people.

A/N: I have the second chapter complete but thought I would get this one out to see if there is any interest. Haven't forgotten about WYN, but it's Thanksgiving and thought we needed to hear a heartwarming story. Thanks, let me know.
