Chapter 3
Surprises

Sara awoke to find Paul's arm's wrapped arround her. She smiled and said "Good morning Paul"

Paul woke up and immediately smiled at her sleepily "Morning"

"So Paul how did you like it yesterday while we were underground?" said Sara as she looked at Erik sleeping.

"I loved it. We should take Erik when he's old enough." said Paul also looking at Erik.

"Yes we should. Erik will need to know about his past. He must know about his parents. But we shall wait to tell him." Sara said agreeing with Paul. "We will wait til he's older."

Paul smiled "What ever you say Sara, but could you get a baby-sitter for tonight? I have tickets to a private play." said Paul

"Really? What's the title?" said Sara

Paul continued smiling "Well I had the understudies play us and do the Phantom skit for us, instead of us playing and never getting to watch, and I thought it might be nice." said Paul

Sara's face lit up. "Paul you actually got them to do this when they didn't have to. They never do stuff like that. But somehow you got them too." Sara hugged Paul and said "Why don't we bring Erik along it'll be easier if he got to know how his father was. What he gave up, but apparently got back. It'll be good for him."

"Very well Sara, bring Erik. But I was hoping that we could kinda be alone for a little while tonight." said Paul now looking Sara in the eyes as she gave into him.

"I'll ask Beatrice to watch Erik, and then we can be alone a little while I'll give he my cell phone number just incase." Sara said as she took out her cell phone and got Beatrice to watch over Erik for the night.

(Later that night) "Don't worry about a thing Sara I'll watch Erik. You just enjoy your date with Paul. Bye now" said Beatrice closing the door and took Erik to get him a snack. "Come along now Erik, time for your snack."

As Erik followed Beatrice he saw a toy car and followed it to a door as he screamed seeing the same man who killed his real mother and Father. "BeBe Ewik hewp ewik!" As Erik was stolen away from Beatrice she came running and found him missing.

(Mean while with Sara and Paul) "Paul this is great...I never thought this would happen to me.... sitting here with Paul Stanly" Just as the play came to Point of No Return Sara's cell phone rang. "Hello...WHAT!?!? NO! MY BABY!" Sara became sad angry and enraged as she yelled, "Stop! Hold it I'll be back! My baby was stolen and I'm out of here until I find him!"

Paul stood up "WHAT! No one takes my son and gets away with it! The power of KISS is about to come forth!" yelled Paul taking Sara's hand as they ran almost floating. "We'll get him back before the night is through!"

They made it back to the room as Sara Looked at Beatrice and asked her one question "Where were you! Where were you when Erik was stolen! TELL ME!" Screamed Sara almost jumping down Beatrice's throat.

"I..I...I went to make him some dinner and when I went to make it I thought he was following me...then I heard him say 'BeBe help Erik' and when I got there her was gone." said Beatrice crying.

Sara searched Erik's part of the area and found a small note entwined in blood red ribbon. It was addressed to 'Christine Dae' "I'm not Christine" thought Sara "RAOUL!" Sara began to cry "RAOUL YOU TOOK MY BABY!"

Paul Ran to her "Sara what's wrong your screaming like a banshee" Paul took the letter and looked at it and understood perfectly what she meant. "He will pay!" Paul tore open the note and read it. It said:

'Christine,
Tis I Raoul. The day you left me to go back to Erik, your 'angel of music' it broke my heart. I swore that day that I'd get even with you. Apparently you took over another body fore you still take care of the child. If you want the little one back you must meet me at your body at midnight...don't be late...or else Erik the new phantom gets it!
Signed, Raoul'

Sara looked at her watch as it said 11:27pm "Paul let's get going! There isn't anytime to waste!"

Paul nodded and they ran to the mirror and went through the passage. As he rowed the boat across the water he could hear Erik and he rowed faster as he then made out a voice that said 'Shut up You Brat!' "Leave my son alone!!!" yelled Paul as he and Sara leapt from the boat and swam faster than he was rowing.they reached land and Sara was not happy.

"Let my baby go right now. If you don't I shall be forced to ask you to fight me!" Said Sara in a motherly angered tone ready to kill him.

"So Christine...you came....heheh you aren't worthy to have a son" Said Raoul snickering at Paul and Sara holding the child like a football. He then dropped Erik as Erik landed with a thud and crawled to Sara's side.

"mmmm...mum mum hold Ewik" said Erik crying as it enraged Sara greatly to hear him cry from this man Raoul.

Sara picked Erik up and handed him to Paul "Take care of our son I have work to do.... For Christine, Erik, and my little Erik. My son, if I do not make it this is forever yours" said Sara hanging a necklace made of the most beautiful gems and white gold. "Treasure it my son...This represents your beauty.... And the beauty of your eye's. Take care my son...." she then looked at Paul "Don't try and stop me, this is something I have to do. It was nice while it lasted between us and I'll win this but incase I don't here's something to remember me by..." Sara kissed Paul and then walked towards Raoul. "Let's go you and me one on one!"
