Soz to keep you lot in suspense but your desperate reviews really help me!

Christian dashed down the stairs and through the door, just in time to hail a coach driving by. He ran back upstairs, wrapped Satine's Kimono around her, and carried her downstairs and outside to the coach.

He quickly ran back and locked the door, before getting into the carriage and reassuring a very cold Satine. "It's Ok, everything is going to be all right", he said squeezing her shoulders, "The Hospital, please", he added to the driver.

"Christian", whimpered Satine, clinging onto his muscular body, "What if we lose it? What if we can't have another one?" Satine was in hysterics now. Christian could tell she was in pain and knew that they had to get to the Hospital fast.

He knew where to go after accompanying her to her checkups. As soon as they pulled up outside the hospital, he quickly thanked the driver, paying him and carrying Satine out of the coach, where he proceeded to the Maternity ward.

"Yes Sir, can I help you?" asked a pretty nurse, well; she would be pretty if it weren't for the large bags under her eyes from being on nightshift. "Yes, it's my fiancé, she is 5 months pregnant and she has started bleeding. We need to see a Doctor," he said hurriedly, placing Satine gently down on a chair.

"Ok Sir, I will fetch the Doctor", said the nurse, walking away and disappearing through a pair of brown swinging doors. She came back a few minutes later with a tall man with a stethoscope around his neck.

"The nurse has informed me of your fiancé's condition, and I would like to check it out for myself. If you will wait here, she should be out in a few minutes", he added, while a few nurses lifted Satine onto a bed, and wheeled her through the brown doors.

Christian watched her disappear, and then collapsed onto the chair behind him. He was so tired-he had only had an hours sleep after their friends had left so late. He tried to stay awake, but sleep overcame him (and the Hospital was very stuffy) so he eventually fell asleep in the uncomfortable wooden chair.

A nurse shaking his shoulder waked him about an hour later. "Sir, Sir, the Doctor is ready to see you now", she said, helping him up. "Thank you", he said, remembering his manners. He walked through the doors and saw Satine lying in the bed, completely helpless. He hated to see her like that.

"Now", said the Doctor, who was leaning against the wall, "I am glad to inform you that miss Satine is fine. But I regret to tell you that you have lost the baby. Your fiancé had a miscarriage. I am terribly sorry".

Satine already knew this but when she heard the Doctor, she burst into tears again. Christian rushed over to her and put his arm around her. A tear leaked from his eye but he quickly wiped it away. He had to be strong for Satine. "I will leave you alone now", said the Doctor, leaving through the swinging doors.

"I am so sorry, Christian", said Satine, "I wish I could do something" "It wasn't your fault", replied Christian, stroking her hair, and kissing her sweaty brow, "There was nothing we could do".

They spent the night in the Hospital, and Satine was let out the next morning. When they got back in the house, they went into the kitchen, but they didn't eat. They had contacted Toulouse and the others and told them the bad news.

Their friends came around and comforted them before telling them they had decided to go back to Paris until things had settled down. Satine and Christian bid them farewell, then went back inside.

2 Months Later.

Satine had decided that there was no use in grieving, when she had her whole life ahead of her. Christian agreed, but they would never forget their lost baby. Satine had gone in for the operation to get her baby removed a few days after she was released.

She was fully recovered, and enjoying life as an engaged woman. She went browsing for wedding dresses with Christian, but was careful to not let him know which ones she liked. She didn't want bad luck before the wedding.

One morning, Christian decided to go into town and publish his new poetry book. He hoped it would be a success, as it would cover most of the cost of their wedding. Before he left, Satine rushed down the stairs in her kimono and hugged him.

"Christian, I just realised that I wasn't ready to start a family yet. I would much rather have you alone for a few months. Is that ok?" she asked with a smile on her face. "Of course!" said Christian, hugging her back.

"To be honest, I wasn't ready myself", he said, his cheeky grin appearing on his handsome face. He picked her up and twirled her around like he used to. She laughed and kissed him. "Now go and get you book published. I'll be here when you get back," she added seductively. Christian grabbed his coat, kissed her goodbye and left the house.

He walked into the town, and went to the first publisher he knew, his friend, John. "I don't know Christian," said John, after Christian asked if he could publish the book. "Why not?" asked Christian.

" I've been hearing a few funny rumours about you. About you being a schemer or something" he said, looking at his feet sheepishly. "Oh come on. You cannot be serious! Who are you going to believe? Me or them?" said Christian, laughing.

"Well, when you put it that way.....of course I'll do business with you!" John said, smiling his toothy smile. Christian left the publishers with a smile on his face. He couldn't wait to get home and tell Stine the good news. Sure enough, when he got home, Satine was waiting for him, but she wasn't just planning on a glass of wine to celebrate.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw her, in her new underwear. "Do you like it?" she asked, and innocent smile on her face. "Do I?!" said Christian, following her upstairs as she undid her bra.

Yes. This most certainly wouldn't involve a glass of wine, he thought as he ran after her.
