AH! Endings are so hard to write! Like I said before, there will be sequel, too many loose ends and I'm not done playing yet.

Also, if you shop at Sephora, check out the TrueBlood inspired Tarte makeup palette, it's pretty awesome.

Still don't own Southern Vampires/TrueBlood. Charlaine Harris and Alan Ball get to claim them.

Keep up the reviews!

Sookie woke up feeling extremely peaceful. "Eric?" She rolled over so she could see the cold body next to her. Though she couldn't see the sun, Sookie could tell it was daylight based on the tightly closed black shutters on the window. She reached to the bed stand and flipped on the lamp. She examined her body and found that someone had thankfully cleaned the blood off and changed her clothes from the awful dress to one of her nightgowns.

"I am here, dear one." Eric took her small hand in his large one and held it to his chest. "How do you feel?"

"Amazing! Like I've just had the best sleep ever, I'm so relaxed." Sookie smiled and in a burst of energy jumped off the bed and did a little twirl before turning back to Eric. "Everything is so clear! I can hear cars across the street and Alice and Jerry are... oh... nevermind what they're doing. And the sights, Eric! Baby, your eyes are so blue!"

Eric chuckled and sat on the edge of the bed waiting to hear more. However, just as quickly as her excitement came so did the memories of the past night.

"Oh my god." Sookie's face fell and she sank on to the bed next Eric. "Eric, am I... am I a vampire?" She felt tears starting to well in her eyes and desperately looked at Eric.

"No, you are not. Jareth saved you from that, although I don't fully understand the nature of what he did." Eric put a comforting arm around Sookie. "Would it bother you that much to be one of my kind?"

"I don't know. I've thought about it, but my only reason for becoming one would be to have more time with you."

"That's as good a reason as any."

"Wouldn't you get tired of always having to rescue me after a hundred or so years?" Sookie tried to lighten the tense conversation. Eric pulled away from her off of the bed and stood with his back turned. "Hey, I'm sorry. I didn't mean..."

Eric turned suddenly and knelt on one knee in front of Sookie. "You are so frustrating at times." He scowled at her. Sookie opened her mouth to protest but was silenced by Eric's fingers on her lips. "You really do not understand what you are to me. If you could read my mind you would see how very frightening the depth of my obsession is for you. That night you walked into my bar I knew no other woman for the rest of eternity would satisfy me. I love you my perfect wife and cannot imagine a future without you by my side."

Eric bowed his head in an act of humility Sookie had never seen from him. Her eyes widened as her mind to tried to find a response.

"Eric." She ran a hand through his hair but he didn't respond. "Husband." Sookie never thought she would get to refer to a man with that title. Eric finally looked up.

"You have never addressed me as such." Eric stated.

"I've never really felt it until now." Sookie smiled and leaned down to kiss Eric. Eric pulled himself off the floor and moved so Sookie was laying underneath him in the bed. A knock at the door ended the moment.

Eric growled and pulled off of Sookie. "Come in, fairy." He called to the person behind the door.

Jerry walked in grinning. "Sookie, how do you feel?" He sat in a chair across the bed.

"Kind of..." Sookie twirled her index finger around her ear.

"Crazy?" Jerry asked and Sookie nodded 'yes'. "That's expected. Your entire body has changed. I gave you all of my available light in order to heal you and remove Felipe's blood."

"I'm sorry, I really don't understand." Sookie pressed for more information.

"Um," Jerry took a minute to gather his thoughts. "A vampire's major property is their blood, right? It's something sacred that's only shared with certain individuals. Well, a fairy's light is the same idea. We hold it closely to ourselves and only share it with certain people. In addition, a vampire's blood can create other vampires. Our light cannot create fairies from humans, but when a human has a small amount of light in them, as you do, we can add to that and essentially make you more fae. So basically, you are now almost completely fairy which means your powers are going to be growing and expanding. Does this make sense to you?"

"Will it fade?" Sookie was getting concerned and angry.

"Some, but not much. Your vision and hearing will likely return to normal in a few days, but the light within will not leave. It will change to suit your needs and you will become accustomed to it soon."

"Why did you do it? Why didn't you just let me die or get turned? You hardly know me, why would you give me something so personal?" Tears were starting to form as Sookie thought about never being human again.

Jerry looked genuinely sympathetic. "As for the first two questions, I did it because you are Eric's bonded which means you are connected to Alice. I knew how upset Eric would be, which would upset Alice and I never want to see her hurt when I can prevent it. The second is more complicated amd requires a confession on my behalf. I knew your grandfather, Fintan, very well. We fought many battles both together and against each other. You might say were the best of enemies. He saved my life in the fairy war I told you about and I have never forgotten that. Though I don't know you as well as I would like, I can see Fintan in you and therefore could not allow you to succumb to darkness."

"What do you think of all this?" This time Sookie was looking at Eric.

"How much fairy or human you are does not matter to me. You are still you and still mine. I could hardly ask for a better outcome. What are you thinking, lover." Eric responded.

"I'm thinking, I'm hungry and am so tired of outside forces trying to screw with our relationship I could scream."

"The hunger we can take care of." Jerry smiled wryly. "But you are married to a very influential vampire, you're going to have to fight for your relationship. I'll be down in the kitchen." Jerry left without waiting for response.

"He's right, Sookie. Are you prepared for that?" Eric laid back on the bed. The call to rest for the day was becoming strong.

Sookie straddled him and looked down. "I don't like it, but yes. I'm willing and ready to fight tooth and nail in order to keep you." She put her hands on his chest and a warm glow dissolved into Eric's body.

Eric shivered, "What did you just do?"

"Made you mine as much as I'm yours." Sookie smiled and leaned down for a kiss. By the time their lips parted Eric was dead for the day. Sookie sighed and rolled of her vampire but remained laying next to him. She still had many questions for Jerry and there was still the queen of Oklahoma to deal with, along with a host of other problems, but for now she really just needed a sandwich.

She went down to the kitchen and found Jerry had prepared fried bologna sandwiches for them. As they ate and talked (not about anything important, just nice, blissful chatter) Sookie came to realize that that the peace she was feeling had a name: home.
