Chapter Nine
Love/Mother Dearest/Erik's Offer

Meg looked down into Chang's eyes. She could stare into those eyes all night. Chang smiled at her adoringly. Meg smiled back then laid her head over his chest. Chang held her, his hand gently stroking her fine hair.
"Your hands feel so warm," whispered Meg as she snuggled up to him.
Chang smiled and held her.
"You brought this warmth to my heart," said Chang.
Meg looked up at Chang. Chang looked at her and she saw nothing, but love in those eyes. Meg reached up and kissed him. Chang kissed her back then held her.
"Oh Meg," said Chang, "I have imagined moments like this. Laying in your warm embrace. Now here it is, a reality."
Meg smiled.
"You sure have beautiful words Chang," said Meg.
She lifted her head up to look into his eyes.
"What do you feel towards me?" she asked.
"I love you," said Chang.
Meg smiled and kissed him.
"Shall we get up and head back to the main room?" asked Meg.
Chang smiled.
"If you want," he said.
Meg smiled then got up and dressed in a purple silk bathrobe. Chang followed suit and grabbed his black one. Then they headed out holding hands. When they entered the sitting room, not only was Erik and Christine there, but Madame Giry.
They looked up as the couple walked in.
"So there you are?" said Madame Giry, "I was worried about you."
"I am fine mother," said Meg
Madame Giry then noticed their intertwined hands.
"You have found a suitor," she said, "Just like you wanted."
Meg smiled then looked at Chang.
"I will take good care of her," said Chang, "I promise."
Madame Giry smiled.
"Welcome to the family," said Madame Giry.
Chang smiled.
"Chang," said Erik.
Chang looked at him.
"Yes Master?" he asked.
"Christine and I have been talking," said Erik, "and well...you are like family to us...like a son."
Chang nodded.
"So we wanted to know," said Erik, "Would you object to us taking you in as our own?"
"As long as I am still allowed to carry on my birth roots too," said Chang.
Erik nodded.
"Of course...my son," said Erik.
Chang smiled and hugged them both.
"Welcome to our family," said Christine, "Dear son."
Chang smiled as a tear rolled down his cheek. Meg smiled also and rested her head on his shoulder...
