Chapter 2: Home

Finally at home Christian could finally rest. Just then a man with a lisp called to him. It was Toulouse. He climbed down the ladder (for friendly visits) only to stop in the middle. He stared at what Chirstian's hand grasped. Christian finally knowing what his friend was looking at realized that he had Satine's daughter in his hand.

"Who is she?" Touluse trembled as he asked.

"Her name is Hope," said Christian as calmly as he could. "Satine's daughter." When Hope saw that no one would talk she said hello.

"Hello," said a strong voice. The narcoleptic Argentinean. "Well who do we have here?"

"This is Satine's daughter, Hope."

"Nice to meet you, Hope." said the Argentinean.

"Nice to meet you too. I was starting to feel like no one here can talk," said Hope giggling. Soon they were joined by Satie. Christian would raise Satine's five year old daughter as his own. My only problem was Satine. Why hadn't she told me about Hope? Oh well here's to new things.

"Toulouse pass me a green fairy, will you." I said. I got no alcoholic drink for a new father should be in tip top shape.

"Here's to fatherhood." Toasting with a glass of water. After that I went to bed only I couldn't leave hope sleeping on the floor where she feel asleep. Looks like the couch for me until I get Hope a bed. Lifting Hope up careful he carried her to his bed. She looked like an angel. Why did this have to happen? To him and to her? Why did Satine have to die?

Please review. And be nice I'm not even a teenager yet.
