Greetings my friends. Merry Christmas! Here's you present, the sequel to Cesar's legacy! I hope you all like it. By the way, I'm sorry if my writing is sloppy. My new laptop is having some problem with the T button. So if words don't look right, assume there was supposed to be a T. And also, there's no spell check on this stupid thing! Seriously!

Also, if you're confused by the horse terminology I'm gonna use in this first chapter, look it up on google or something. And also, I'm going to be using a lot of horses that are in my other Phanfic, Phastasma, City of Dreams? So, if you want to see more of Pete, Dingo, and Pongo, go over there and read that. Cesar's in that too, but he comes to a rather nasty end in chapter 5, and Pongo won't be far behind. WARNING, FLUFFINESS DEAD AHEAD! Oh well, here's the first chapter, Review and Enjoy!

Gabriella POV

If only Cesar were here to see all this, I'm sure he'd love it. All the horses, the once familiar sights, sounds, and smells of the horse farm. He never got to see it all again. But maybe he's seeing it right now, I sure hope he is.

It's been about 3 years since my Phantom showed me my farm. And now it's one of the greatest horse farms in France, and even farther. We've sent horses to the queen of England, she has always been pleased with them.

I am still the ballet mistress at the Opera Populaire, though I'm sure it won't last long, the place has slowly been falling apart and the new managers are too lazy to do anything about it. One of these days either one of my ballerinas are going to fall through the stage, or one of the stage hands is going to fall down with one of the walkways above the stage. Either way, someone is going to go down.

My poor Phantom, he doesn't know about his beloved Opera. I make sure he stays away from it as much as possible, though I can't stop him when he wants to go back to his lair.

The lair, lately that has been Daniel's domain. He'll leave here in the morning on his pony, Blaze, and go straight to the opera house and down into the lair. I suppose I understand why he'd want to. He grew up down there, and we kept the organ and the swan bed down there. So he has it made down there, I'm waiting for him to just announce that he's going to stay there permanently, but he hadn't yet, thank goodness.

Anne and Isabelle are very good ballerinas. Focused on their studies and on being the best. Anne could be prima ballerina right now, but I don't think she's old enough yet, she's only 12. Isabelle is just as good as Anne, but not as focused. She reminds me of her mother, always curious about things she shouldn't be. I remember a year ago she nearly fell into the pit because during a routine she spotted something shiny.

The Phantom stays here and runs the horse farm usually. With his large salary saved over the years, we were able to buy 3 of the finest Andalusians in Europe. One from Spain, one from Germany, and one from England. They, along with Abastor, make up our stallion base. Then the mares, we combed through the studbooks very carefully to pick them.

We have a couple of pets as well. A couple of ponies, and a few horses that are simply for us to use should we need to. There's Daniel's pony, he's a chestnut welsh with a blaze on his face. Then there's another pony, a dainty little mare named Just a Dream. She's white with a pink muzzle. Then there's a very old shetland, who's brown and white patched so he looks like a cow, his name is Firefly.

Then we have some horses, my personal favorite is my pretty arabian named Pete. He's white with a strawberry mane and tail and strawberry flecks, and a grey muzzle. Then there's our two large draft horses, one's a blue roan with a stripe on his face, that's Dingo, and the other is black with white feathers, Pongo. Those two are percherons, and they are gentle giants. Finally there's the Phantom's horse, and she's a black friesian named Feu Sombre, or Dark Fire. She's beautiful, but just as unpredictable as her master.

So, this is what makes up our horse farm. I'm very proud of it, and at this very moment I wish I could go out for a ride. But my Phantom told me to stay in the house today!

Here's the little rundown on what happened this morning for him to make me stay crammed inside the house today. You see, I haven't told him yet, but I'm a couple months along with our third child. He doesn't know, and frankly I'm not entirely sure why he hasn't caught on. Anyway, I've been having morning sickness with this new baby, but I've been able to hide it because he's usually outside feeding the horses in the morning.

This morning however he decided to linger for a few minute, and he caught me vomiting in the sink. So, he believes I'm sick and he made me stay in bed. Of course I'm perfectly fine, and I've been wandering the house all day bored. It's a big house, a beautiful one too. If I had to be trapped anywhere I suppose it would be here. Sighing, I head into the library and pull a book off the shelf and sit down to read.

The rest of the day goes off and I finish my book as Daniel enters the house. He pokes his head in the door "Hi Mama" he calls. I stand to greet him "Good Afternoon Daniel. How was your day?" I asked him. He comes into the room and stands in front of me "Very good mama" he said, my eyes narrow "You didn't pull any pranks did you?" I asked him. He looked down "Well...". I sighed "Just don't cause too much trouble" I tell him, I kiss his forehead and begin to head to the kitchen to start dinner.

I must have been focused on the recipe or something, because I did not hear the front door open or close, nor did I hear the footsteps coming up behind me. It wasn't until he wrapped his arms around me did I know he was home "Did I frighten you?" he asked me. I smiled and leaned back against him "Nope, I've gotten over that a long time ago" I told him. We stood like that for a long time before I had him turn around "I'm glad you're home now my love, there's something I want to tell you".

He smiled "Of course dear" he told me, we went into the library and I closed the door, just in case Daniel was snooping around the house. Erik had sat in his big arm chair and he looked at me expectantly "Yes my dear?" he asked me. I walked forward and took his hand, and but it on my pregnant belly "Erik, my love, I'm, I'm expecting another baby" I told him gently. He stared at me in shock, like I'd told him I was planning to blow up the farm "A... another child?" he asked me.

I squeezed his hand "Yes, another child. Are you angry?" I asked him, I couldn't really tell for myself. I'd gotten good at reading his body language, but sometimes it was hard to tell. He stood his head and stood, beginning to kiss my face "Of course I'm not angry, this is wonderful" he told me, stroking my hair. He looked into my eyes "How long?" he asked, I smiled "I'm a couple months along now, so, it won't be too long" I told him.

We left the library and he finished cooking what I had started. I sighed, now that I'd told him I wouldn't be allowed to do anything. He looked back at me "Do Daniel and Anne know yet?" he asked. I shook my head "Only you and Lizzy" I told him. When I'd first found out I was pregnant I went straight to Lizzy about it. She'd been happy for me, of course, and told me she'd be there for me whenever I needed her. So far, she'd kept true to her word, like she always has.

"We should tell them" Erik said, I stood "I'll go fetch Daniel, and I'll tell Anne about it in the morning" I told him. He nodded and I stepped out of the kitchen and began calling "DANIEL!". His voice came from upstairs "Yes Mama?" he called back. "Come downstairs. We have something important to tell you", I smiled slightly as I heard his footsteps running down the hall upstairs and then thumping down the stairs "Yes Mama?" he asked me as he met me at the bottom of the stair. "Come into the kitchen with me" I told him, he followed me.

Dinner was ready when we entered, so Erik directed us to the Dining Room. We went and sat down and Erik came in bringing the food. Daniel looked at us "What were you gonna tell me?" he asked "Not another lecture about kidnapping right?" he asked, looking at his father slightly nervous. The Phantom smiled and laughed slightly "No..." he said, he sounded really happy, which was nice, but odd.

I looked at Daniel "Honey, I'm going to have a baby" I told him. He blinked and looked at me "Really?" he asked. I nodded, "You're going to need to behave yourself and act like a gentleman when the baby comes. You're 12 now, almost a grown man" Erik told him. He seemed to get excited about that "I'll be very good" he told us. I began eating, now that there was going to be a third child in the ranks, how would life change. Well, it would change a lot, and like his father before him, Abastor was going to be the ring leader of the show called 'my life'.
