I don't own The Phantom of the Opera. Just my characters and storyline.

Chapter 21

Christine's POV

Meg is so happy when I tell her. Then she tells me what is going on in her life. Her and Raoul are courting now.

"I hope you're not mad." says Meg.

"No I'm not mad at all. I'm happy for you and Raoul."

"Thank you Christine it means the world to me."

We hug and talk and talk until I have to leave.

"Goodbye Christine. And goodbye little one."

"Goodbye Meg, tell Raoul I say hello."

"I will. Tell Erik I say hello."

"I will. Bye."

Erik's POV

Nadir is coming over while Christine is out visiting Meg. I can't wait to tell him the news. He walks in and I motion for him to sit down.

"Okay Erik what is it?" he asks.

"Christine and I are going to have a baby."

"Erik. I'm so happy for you."

"Thank you Nadir."

"How far along is Christine?"

"Four months. I would have told you sooner but you were in Poland."

"It's okay. So have you thought of names?"

"Of course but I can't tell you."

"Fine!.

"How is the family?"

"Great. My beautiful wife is pregnant too."

"Really?"

"Yes. She is only two months along."

"I'm so happy for you Nadir."

"Thank you Erik."

We talk about work and our families, but then he had to go.

"Good day Erik. Tell Christine that I say hello."

"Good day Nadir. I will. And say hello to the family."

"I will my friend."

Christine's POV

I open the door, see Erik reading a book in the library.

"Hello angel. Meg says hello." I say.

"Hello my angel. Nadir says hello as well." he replies.

He comes up to me and kisses my forehead, then my lips.

"Meg is now being courted by Raoul." I say, with a smile.

"Really?"

"Yes they have been for two months now."

"I'm glad for them."

"As am I."

"Nadir wife is pregnant."

"That's wonderful."

"I know. Nadir tried to get me to tell him names for the baby."

"Did he? Hopefully you didn't tell him." I reply, playfully.

"I didn't."

The two names we have came up with are Erik and Christine. I know it's our names but Christine wants to name a son after me, and I like the idea. And I want to name a daughter after my beautiful wife, and Christine likes the idea as well.

Tonight I am awake, Christine is asleep. She looks so peaceful. I'm so happy she married me and that we are going to have a baby. But I some times worry that the baby will inherit my deformed face. Christine I know will love him or her just as much, I just know she will, but I'll have no one else to blame but me if it does happen. I will love them too. I love them now. That little baby inside of Christine is proof of our love, we two becoming one, making a whole new life. It's awesome when you think about it. Christine and I are co-creators with God. That thought just blows away my mind. I try not to let my fears upset me. Either the baby is going to be born with a deformed face or not it's not my choice. I just have to place my faith in God.

I start to feel sleepy when I hear Christine start to scream.

"No Erik! Don't leave me no Erik! Come back to me Erik! Erik!" she screamed.

"Christine wake up. Christine!" I reply, shaking her gently.

She wakes up then clings to me.

"Oh Erik it was horrible."

"Shhh it's okay." I say, and I rub her back to sooth her.

"Erik it was awful."

"Do you want to tell me about it?"

She nods.

"Everything was good, we were holding hands and walking in the garden. You kissed my stomach and then kissed me. Then I felt like I was falling down a dark hole. When I could see again, there was you, me and this man pointing a gun at me. You stepped in front of me. I somehow ended up behind the man, I was just about to grab his gun, when he shot you through the heart. I ran to you, you told me that you loved me. Then you died in my arms. Erik it was horrible. Don't leave me please I need you."

"Oh Christine. I will never leave you. Look I'm right here."

"I know but what if something happens?"

"Christine. I'm right here, and what ever happens I will always be with you."

I take her hand and place it on my left side of my face.

"See I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere."

She cups my face and kisses me.

"Erik I love you so very much."

"I love you too Christine."

I just hold her in my arms until she fell asleep again. Then I start to fall asleep too.

I hear her whisper. "I love you Erik."

"I love you too my angel. Goodnight."

"Goodnight Erik."
