This is my first try at a Moulin Rouge fanfic

This is my first try at a Moulin Rouge fanfic. Everyone seems to have written a fic of their own, and I thought I'd take a stab at it.

Just for kicks - here is mine. It's a short first chapter of this series.

Note: Satine is really Harold & Marie's daughter. And I'd like to think of it that way.    

Chapter One

Montmartre, Paris     

Spring of 1877, April 15th.

"What shall we name her?" she asked, lying on her bed. Fatigue apparently showed in her eyes, her chestnut brown hair wet, just moments ago she gave birth to a baby girl. It wasn't painful. It was considered an easy delivery despite the three hours of hard labour. Beads of sweat decorated her pale face. It was a warm night after all. The mother let tears fell from her blue eyes, out of pure happiness.

The baby girl that was just born was in Harold's cradling arms, her miniature eyes were still closed, her delicate little naked body wrapped in a red satin blanket. She was a beautiful child, already showing strands of red hair. She barely made a sound and moved little. He brought the baby close to the bed and stood by Marie's side. She looked up at him and smiled.

It didn't take him long to think of a name.

"We'll name her Satine," he paused. "Our Sparkling Diamond." The redhead man declared with glee as he gave the newborn a gentle warm fatherly kiss.  She fidgeted with the loving gesture. Pride suddenly came over him and his dreams might soon be materialized. Soon.

How he would promise the whole world for her.

The things he will do just for her.

The things he had planned.

 Just then, Satine cried and cried. Screaming as if telling the whole world she has finally come out of her mother's womb. The cry brought her parents joy to their faces.

That warm night was the night the creatures of the underworld first heard of the musical cries of a future star who will make all dreams come true. A flaming auburn courtesan who will make men believe in whatever they want to believe.
