Christine and Raoul are living a happy life together... heh heh
that's what he thinks, it's for both Phantom and Raoul lovers b/c I support
both.. Erik doesn't show up till later in the story. R/R first story so be
nice =)
This story is mostly based on the musical. I know there was no Phillippe, Raoul's older brother and I want to make it that he didn't die... because of "plot details"
It has been five years since the events after that frightful opening night of Don Juan Triumphant, Christine nor Raoul hasn't returned since. For more than one reason, The Phantom, because Raoul was certain he wasn't gone forever. Also, Now that Phillippe and the rest of the Opera populaire now believed Christine wasn't mad and there really was a Phantom. Phillippe still saw it wrong for Raoul to marry the daughter of a peasant.
Phillippe threatened to cut Raoul out of the family estate but Raoul told him he loved Christine and will stay with her for the rest of his life. Phillippe couldn't do it because, his parents told him to take care of Raoul and that certainly wouldn't be taking care of him if he was to leave him penniless. Also the affluent Chagny family would most likely die out because Phillippe's wife was unable to have children. He had one condition for Christine and Raoul to marry. That Christine would never be a professional performer on a stage again.
She unwillingly agreed and after the marriage she was a wonderful prize wife as if her family had years of European nobility. Her career was never brought up nor the Phantom.
Half a year after Raoul and Christine's wedding Christine was pregnant and had their first child, Satine. Satine had gotten everything she wanted and had looked like a miniature Christine with some of Raoul's features.
" Satine, do you know what tomorrow is?" Christine asked her four year daughter inSatine's room it was 9:00 in the morning and Satine had just woken up and Christine was fixing her hair since Satine had none but her mother do her hair.
" Yes I know, but Daddy said I can't tell you." Satine said cheerfully
Christine was too busy thinking about the plans she had for their Anniversary she wasn't fully listening to Satine.
" I know what tomorrow is, you don't have to hide it from me. Your father will be so happy when he sees what I have planned for us." Christine said excitedly
" Oh! Tell me!"
Christine paused and thought about it, Satine was notorious for telling secrets.
"Mommy..." Satine said in a whinny voice
"Well, I have been thinking about this for the longest time. I want us to spend the whole day together. A wonderfully intimate day."
"What does intimate mean?"
"Sorry darling, it means close."
Christine often spoke to Satine as if she was years older since most of the servants shunned Christine because she was once a peasant like them, but she was one of the lucky ones who married rich. They often doubted Christine's love for Raoul. She had none to really talk girl stuff to or about things she didn't want Raoul to know. Meg came to their mansion maybe once a month and stayed for a while but, it still wasn't the same.
"I know it's such a small thing to do for a five year Anniversary but with your father away so often lately I think this would be a perfect present." Christine said contradicting herself.
"Okay, that sounds nice," Satine said getting up, " thank you Mommy." than she ran out the door.
'Ah, I have to stop thinking negatively about this Raoul will love this' Christine said to herself, than she walked out of the room humming All I Ask of You.
She was in a day dream while she walked down the hall and crashed into Raoul who was quickly walking out of a room. Christine gave a small scream and fell to the floor.
"Christine, oh, I sorry my love. I wasn't paying attention." Raoul said panicked . Before he bent down to help Christine up he threw the papers he was holding back into the room he came from. Christine had already started getting up
Christine started laughing to herself,
" No it was my fault," she said while going back down and laying out on the floor. " I've been to tired lately I fell as if I was in the middle of a dream... You know inscriptions on the molding are very pretty I never laid down in the hall before and looked up."
"I love small details, even though none ever notices them." Raoul said joining in to Christine's joyous mood he than scooped up Christine in his arms off the floor and spun her around. "What do you find so funny?"
"Nothing, I just feel happy, now will you stop spinning me before you drop me or I get sick?" Christine said
Raoul stooped noticing something wrong.
"How can I drop you? You feel so light, lighter than you were before, and you have no color in your face. Is something wrong, Christine?" Raoul said very seriously.
"Nothing is wrong Raoul, it's just that you have been out of the house so much lately that you have forgotten what I'm like."
"Christine I'm sorry but it's very important." he said putting her down
"What's more important than Satine and me?"
"Nothing... you know that." he said kissing her and than walking down the hall.
Christine stood their dumbfounded, 'that was exactly what Raoul needed an intimate day,' she thought but than her negative side came back to haunt her. 'what if Raoul had planned to go out on one of his trips? What if he was cheating on her? What if he had forgotten about their Anniversary, he hadn't brought it up for while.'
Her thoughts were interrupted by her coughing...
"Satine, have you told Mommy anything about tomorrow?" Raoul asked after he found her playing in her nursery.
"No! Daddy why do you ask me that every time you see me?" Satine said throwing her doll across the floor.
"It's not just you, I ask everyone that who knows" Raoul said lying
"I can't wait till it's over, than you won't be gone all the time anymore Daddy, I miss you, but Mommy misses you more."
"What, what do you mean?" Raoul said pulling a chair near Satine and crouching near her, playing on the floor.
"Remember when we were eating breakfast and Mommy asked you not to go that day because she didn't feel good? And you stayed until she fell back asleep. Then when you went downstairs and told William to still get your carriage. Mommy woke up with Marie watching her she asked where you were and when Marie had said you left Mommy looked to the window and saw your carriage leaving the gates she started crying, she cried for a long long time."
"Why didn't you tell me this before?"
"Because I forgot about it, and I didn't know how long Mommy was crying because she asked us to leave. Than Marie got me some ice cream from the chef"
"Then that's why when I asked you how your mother was you said she was feeling better because she said you and Marie may leave."
"Yes, than I told you about the ice cream and that Mommy took me for a walk around the gardens"
"Satine, when Mommy cries you must tell me. I'm sorry that I was gone, even more so than usual but, I have to plan this myself, I don't need anyone else messing this up when it is all over I'll explain." he said then in an undertone he said, "Who knew money couldn't buy good help."
Raoul got down on his knees near Satine and signaled for her to get on his back.
"Come on, well find Marie and she can get us some ice cream, I think we both need some." Raoul said giving Satine a piggy back ride.
"Ah I see some people who could use some company getting rid of their food." Christine said walking into the dining and room sitting down next to Raoul giving him a kiss.
"Mommy, your so funny!" Satine said giggling at Christine " This ice cream is all mine."
Raoul put his arm around Christine and putting the full spoon up to Christine's lips.
"You can share mine." he said
"Oh, it's so cold." Christine said swallowing it.
"Well, how cold is it here?" Raoul said while wiping the ice cream left on the spoon on Christine's nose
"Raoul" Christine said trying to sound upset
"Okay, I'll get it off " Raoul said kissing Christine's nose
"Raoul, what are we doing today?"
"I have to go into Paris today." Raoul said uneasily thinking of the story Satine told him
"Oh, can I go, want to get a few things" Christine said excitedly
Raoul didn't answer at first he was too hurt to tell Christine she can't come but than said softly,
"I'm sorry Christine, I have to take care of something." tears started to swell up in Christine's eyes.
"Daddy, why don't you go by yourself do what ever you have to do and me and Mommy go in our own carriage and we meet you somewhere." Satine said very fast.
"No, that's all right Satine, Raoul what I want isn't important." Christine said getting up and started walking out of the room.
Raoul chased after her and walked in front of her. He wiped a tear coming out of her eye and said,
"You can't believe how important it is to me. I'm sorry darling but I have to do this. Can we use Satine's idea? I'll be very quick give me an hour."
Christine paused
Raoul wanted to tell her right there. He was about to but then,
"Give me twenty minutes to get ready," Christine went running out of the room and rang the bell for Dara to come and attend to her.
After Raoul made sure everything was in order and picked up the gown for Christine he was just in time to meet the girls. While Raoul was getting his things Christine was getting things for their intimate Anniversary. She made last minute reservations at the best restaurant in town and when asked for the name to be put on the waiting list when she said. 'Chagny' the man said,
"Oh, sorry Madame there is a sudden opening here." Christine smiled to herself .
While walking past a vintage toy store in the window Christine saw a doll in the window and stopped,
"Mommy, what are you looking at?" Satine asked.
"Look, see this doll I had the same one when I was a little girl." Christine said in awe.
" What happened to it?" Satine asked
"I gave it to my mother to take up to heaven with her when I was a little older than you."
"Mommy, I want that doll I want your matching doll!"
Christine went in and bought the doll giving it to Satine. Satine held it close.
"Satine, give it to the lady to put it in a box." Christine said
"No Mommy I want to keep her."
Walking out of the store, Christine looked up and saw that she was going to be late to meet Raoul.
"Come love we must hurry to meet your father." Christine said walking fast.
After their meeting Christine bought a few dresses and other things. And Satine bought dresses and toys. While walking Satine saw the Opera house and asked what it was.
"It's an Opera house darling." Raoul said looking at Christine's face,
She had a melancholy look and said,
"It's very beautiful inside, prettier than the outside, but not a place for little girls we'll go someday when your older."
Raoul went home with Satine and Christine. Christine fell asleep resting in Raoul's arms. After he made certain that she was asleep he asked Satine,
"What did you do when you were with your mother?"
"Mommy slept on the way over and she woke up when we were very close to Paris, she looked at the...Opera building and looked like she was going to cry. We went shopping and stuff. The whole time she was looking at that building."
"Does Mommy sleep a lot? Why did you ask what the Opera House was when I was with you?" Raoul said quietly
"Sometimes...Mommy wasn't as upset when she looked at the Opera house with you and I thought she felt better about it. Are you all done planning for the..."
"Satine... shhh please" Raoul pointed to Christine and put a finger to his lips. His sudden action made Christine stir and than she mumbled,
"Yes, my angel of music." but Raoul couldn't make out what she was saying.
When they arrived home Raoul carried Christine in and put her in their bed, than took off her shoes and went to tuck Satine in. Before he went down the hall to her bedroom he told a servant to bring Christine's dresses to their room and hang them up in her walk in closet, the things she bought, keep them in their boxes and put them in the closet, hang up Satine's dresses and put away her toys. And hang up Christine's gown in his closet.
Raoul walked into Satine's room and Marie was getting her ready for bed.
"Just about finished." Marie said
"Can you please get Dara to help Christine for bed? Than can you get every one in the ball room to decorate? I'll be there in thirty minutes." Raoul said as Marie was leaving the room.
Satine jumped into her bed and got the doll Christine had bought and kissed it.
"Who's that?" Raoul said pulling a chair to Satine's bed.
"It's my new dolly, Tara Mommy said she had the same doll when she was a little girl." Satine said sitting up on her pillows/
'I don't remember Christine having a doll like that' Raoul thought to himself.
"What happened to her doll?" Raoul said
"It's in heaven, with her Mommy. She gave it to her to take with her. How old was Mommy when my Grandmother died?" Satine said
"She was six, two years older than you." Raoul said softly
"Daddy the Opera house is for people who sing good , right?"
"Yes, the Opera house is for people who sing well. Why do you ask?"
"Mommy sings so great, she should sing there. I'm going to tell her tomorrow she should sing on the big stage."
"No, Satine don't tell her, don't talk about the Opera house to her. Now, good night." Raoul said worried
Than Satine sunk down into her blankets.
"Good night Daddy, I love you." Satine said
"I love you too." he said kissing her forehead.
"Daddy, can I go to the party tomorrow?"
"Yes, well for a little bit, you can because you didn't tell Mommy about it. Now good night Satine."
Raoul walked into their bedroom and saw Christine in her night gown sleeping.
" Are you going to bed ,Monsieur ?" Dara asked
"No, not now I think I'm going to go and get someone to get me a drink." Raoul said walking out of the room.
Raoul walked into the ballroom and said, come on every one we have a party to decorate for tomorrow. Raoul told what he wanted and then went back to bed.
Christine was asleep and she was saying something but Raoul was to tired to make out what she was saying.
" Angel....."
