(Walking on Egg Shells)

By Aiko "Kitty" Skywalker

Prologue

Satine kept her back arched up against the wall on the farthest side of her quarters beside the Moulin Rouge. Christian stood in the doorway, his concern plastered heavily across his features.

"Satine?" he questioned looking deeply at his lover before him whose head was lowered in defeat. "Satine what's wrong?"

Satine's only response was to turn, staring out of the open balcony of her quarters. Christian stood planted in his spot for a few moments before finally stepping inside, closing the door behind him.

"Satine?" he questioned again, growing more concerned with every moment. "What's wrong with you?"

Satine's eyes brimmed with tears as Christian stepped towards her. Unable to move any farther, she accepted the presence of Christian although she refused to look her lover in the eye.

"Satine?" Christian reached towards her fragile form, placing a hand to her frigidly cold shoulder. She didn't look up, just allowed his hand to remain.

"Satine please answer me." Christian pleaded again.

After a few moments that seemed like an eternity to both Satine and Christian, Christian removed his hand from his lovers shoulder. Taking a step backwards, he just looked at her. Never had such a powerful, beautiful smoldering temptress seemed so meek and mild, so fragile and broken. Looking thoughtfully at her, he attempted once more to contact her.

"Satine?"

Once again no response could be heard.

Finally Christian gave up, retreating the quarters in confused movements. Once Satine was sure he had gone, she fell to the ground, clutching a yellowed letter within her fingers and wept in bitter defeat.

Satine, the smoldering temptress, the diamond of the Moulin Rouge, was pregnant.

More to come soon ^_^. Please be patient, I'm enjoying writing this. This is a simple (but yet very unattractive) beginning to my story that shall go into the depth of a woman's strength and persistence to discover a lfie she never knew existed.
