Ok so it's been awhile but I hope you all are still with me. I was stuck for a bit, but now I think I've come up with twist that will make you all be like "OMG NO FREAKING WAY!" or maybe not lol anyway ... Read on my lovelies!
"Meg!" Erik called on the other side of the locked door. "Meg, come on just open the door and talk to me!"
"Just go away Erik! I want to be alone!" She called back. He turned to Christine behind him.
"Your turn." He said and she rolled her eyes at him.
"Erik, she's not coming out." She said for the hundredth time.
Erik huffed and ran a hand through his hair. "Well, what on earth happened to make her do this? I mean, Christine, she doesn't hide anything from me. She my sister."
"Has she ever mentioned to you that she slept with Raoul?" She asked. Erik looked at her his yellow eyes flaring with anger.
"I'm sorry, but I think I just heard you say that my sister and your Ex husband slept together. And we both know how impossible that would be." He said almost sickened by the idea of his little sister with Raoul.
"Well, I did say just that. And it's not as impossible as you think Erik. Raoul did have a crush on her for a small time when we were younger, and we both know Meg did too. Except her crush lasted longer. Which was why she was a little upset when Raoul and I told everyone of the engagement." Erik just shook his head and sat in a chair by the door. "Erik, what are you thinking?"
"Raoul is a dead man." He said and looked up at her. "What?" Erik asked when she gave him a look. "My sister comes running out of the library crying after talking to him, it's obviously his fault." Christine rolled her eyes at his logic.
Christine huffed and went to the door giving it a light knock. "I said go away Erik I don't want to talk about it!"
"It's not Erik, and you don't have to come out or talk about it, just let me in." Christine requested.
Erik sighed. "Christine, it's not going to-" He stopped midsentence when he heard the lock click and Christine turned the knob. Erik sat dumbfounded as Christine walked in.
She saw Meg on her bed with a pillow wrapped in her arms. Christine walked over and sat on the bed, and when she finally looked up at Christine, Christine noticed her tearstained look. "I didn't know what to do." She whispered on the verge of more tears. As a tear slipped over the edge Christine opened her arms and Meg fell into her. They laid there for awhile just like that. It reminded them both of when they were little and one of the other ballerinas hurt Meg's feelings. Since Meg and Christine shared a room they never hid anything from each other. This is how most of those days ended and the next day Christine wasn't afraid to let those girls have it. And if she found out that Raoul had hurt Meg in some way then he was in for it.
When Meg finally calmed down Christine asked what happen. Meg explained what happened in the library. Christine was so confused "I thought you really like Raoul? If you really like him then why are you acting like this Meg?"
"I don't know Christine! I don't know. After the three of you left I guess I was left too long alone with my own thoughts. I guess everything just finally hit me with you all gone."
"What do you mean Meg?" Christine asked confused.
"I was once the girl with the somewhat perfect theater girl life. I had my family, I had my job, had my friends, and I had someone who loved me. Or at least for a short time. I mean, I had everything a girl like me could ask for. Then you came back and it was amazing. Then Darius, he died. I understand why, but it was just still so hard to except. I thought I was in love with him, Christine, and, I thought he felt the same. But I was wrong. I wanted love that night with Raoul. Honestly, I've always felt something for him, and that night it seemed like the perfect time to do something about it. It's not that I didn't feel loved by him, because I did. He even said it once. We were both half asleep, and he whispered it in my ear. But once you all had left I felt guilty, because the most of the time, I had my eyes closed imagining Darius. I know that you all hate him, and I can understand why, but I don't." She looked at Christine with more tears in her eyes. "I still love him."
Christine reached up and wiped her tears away. "It's hard, I know it is. You dream every night that he will come back to you, and tell you everything was a misunderstanding. That he never meant any of it. That he was put up to it by some bad guy we don't even know exist." Meg laughed a little and nodded. "I know what that's like. I used to do the same thing when I was finally convinced Erik died, and even when my father died I would do the same. When you know you're in love with someone who can no longer love you, its hard letting them go. But when you love someone who once fully and completely loved you back and then they can't love you anymore, that's the hardest. Trust me."
"How did you live with that pain?" Meg asked.
"Well, I don't think you could deal with it the same way I did seeing how you're not pregnant." Christine stopped there and just stared at Meg. "You aren't pregnant, right Meg?"
"I, um, I, don't know." She said. "If I am, who would help me, take care of it."
Christine knew that it was true and she knew that it was Darius'. "I would, and so would Erik and Raoul. We were a family once and we will be a family again." Meg smiled at her. "Why haven't you told us?"
She shrugged. "Because, it's Darius' child."
"It's yours too Meg."
"I was afraid how you all would react. So I didn't tell anyone."
"Do you know how far along you are?"
"Our last night together was the night before the performance, I figured it out not long after you were up on your feet, you've been gone for three months, so about four months." Meg smiled and they began to laugh at everything she had to list to figure it out.
Christine suggested that they tell everyone, but Meg wanted to talk to Raoul alone then they will talk to Erik together. She had no idea how she was going to do it but she knew that she would have to.
Meg knew that it was hard to believe since she wasn't showing a lot, but she was still wearing her corsets. But she always wore them loosely so she wouldn't harm the baby. She had sent a note to Raoul telling him to meet her in the gardens. Raoul arrived not too long after she sent it. He couldn't help but think how beautiful she looked just sitting there on the bench surrounded by roses that glowed in the moonlight, as did she. Meg slowly met his stare and smiled sweetly. "Hey," She said softly.
"Hey," He replied nervously. Good God what is wrong with you man! You were never this nervous around Christine! He screamed in his mind. Meg motioned for him to sit next to her on the bench and he did so.
"I want to say that I'm sorry about earlier," Meg began.
"No," He cut her off. "You have no reason to be sorry it was all my fault. I should have taken things slower. I'm sorry Meg."
Meg slowly and sweetly kissed him. Raoul was shocked but nevertheless enjoyed the feeling of her lips on his. "Raoul, I won't lie, I love you, but unfortunately I'm not over Darius yet. You were right when you said I felt something that night with you, but there is something I have to tell you. And if you want nothing to do with me after this I understand." She took a deep breath and let it out. "I'm pregnant." Raoul's mouth hung open not believing this. "But it's not yours. Raoul, I'm four months along and it's Darius'. I am so sorry I didn't tell you sooner I just didn't know how. Please say something, anything. Yell at me I don't care just say something."
"Yell at you? I'm not going to yell at you Meg. Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
She couldn't help but laugh. "That's the same question Christine asked. I was afraid, of you and Erik, of how the both of you would react. I was afraid you wouldn't love me."
"Wouldn't love you?! That's crazy talk! I honestly don't care. Because you know what this baby is a part of you and it may be some of Darius too, but I can tell you that he was not meant to be a father. He didn't deserve you, and if I'm glad he's gone because he doesn't deserve this baby either. I know you aren't asking me to, but I will happily help you take care of this baby. Even if you don't fully love yet. I don't care. I love you and I'm not ever giving up on us." He said every word with a smile on his face and her hands in his.
He brought tears to her eyes and she threw her arms around him giggling. Now all that was left was to tell Erik. And she only prayed that it would be this easy.
