London Theatre!

Epilogue!

~~Epilogue~~

In December they stopped showing A Love Which Will Last Forever even though crowds had shown up asking for it back, Christian would just say "Buy the book!"

Christian and Satine walked along the path in the park on a beautiful spring day in May. They walked near the lake and took a row boat out into the middle of the lake. Christian seemed to be a lot more nervous than usual.

"What's the matter with you today, Christian?" Satine finally asked. Christian just seemed to utter few meaningless sounds. Then he took Satine's left hand in his. He got on one knee.

"S-Satine, I r-really love you. I loved you the moment I saw you, and I will love you forever, not until the end of time, not until my dying day, I'm going to love you forever, there is no end for my love for you," Christian said shaking a bit as the old rowboat creaked and groaned and shook in the water. Satine's eyes went huge. "Satine, will you, well will you marry me?"

"Oh Christian!" Satine gasped. "I- Yes! Yes!"

Christian smiled and stood up quickly and hugged her. Big mistake that was, getting up quickly in a row boat, they both toppled into the lake. They swam to the surface, once there they kissed and hugged and kissed some more. Christian grinned happily as he kissed her.

"I will love you forever," he said. Then he sang into her ear, "Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste, it all revolves you."

"And there's no mountain too high, no river too wide, sing out this song and I'll be there by your side," Satine sang back to him. "I will love you, forever and beyond."

Christian grinned wider and kissed her more passionately than ever before. Off the shore under the shade of some trees, two people sat side by side watching those two splashing and laughing in the water.

Jude turned to Sadie and stood up, "Let's take a walk."

"Alright," Sadie said getting up. Then Jude grabbed her and pulled her to him and held her up a bit.

"Marry me!" he demanded in a soft, beautiful voice.

"Is that a request or a demand?" Sadie asked. Jude kissed her.

"A request," he said. Sadie smiled. Then Jude set her down and in a soft voice he spoke between kisses, "Please, marry me, Sadie Carnell. Please, marry me. I love you more than I've ever loved a woman before! I will love you for all eternity, my love for you is like the love God has for us. I love you, Sadie please marry me!"

"Yes," She whispered and they kissed as passionately as Christian and Satine.

~~Later~~

Toulouse invited all four of them to the West End Theatre, when they got there no one was in sight so they just took seats in the audience's chairs. Jude and Christian talked to each other on one of the theatre as Satine and Sadie talked to each other at the other end telling each other the good news.

"How did you propose to her?" Jude asked. "I saw you and her go under after you shot up and hugged her."

"Oh hehe, proposing on a boat is hard," Christian said. "After the excitement of her saying yes you forget you're on a boat and you shoot up and hug her and kiss and then whoosh and splash you're in the lake!"

"Yes, that was rather funny to see," Jude laughed. Over the time Jude and Christian became best friends, the whole ordeal of Christian's jealousy of him was behind them and it was going to stay there!

"So, tell me Sadie, how did he propose to you?" Satine asked. Sadie chuckled.

"Well, it wasn't exactly an old fashioned proposal," Sadie said. "He kind of demanded it in a meek way. Lifted me up and said 'Marry me!'"

"Hehe, well I guess it wasn't old fashioned," Satine laughed lightly. "When do you expect to be married?"

"Well, I really just want to get married now," Sadie said. Satine nodded in agreement.

"Me too," Satine said.

~~Backstage~~

"Alright you all know what you're supposed to do?" Toulouse said to a crowd of people. They all nodded and Toulouse grinned, "Good. Satie you have the rewritten version of the song?"

"Yes," Satie said.

"Good," Toulouse said. "Now, places everybody!"

"That's my line!" Cephus said.

~~~Front stage~~~

Narky came out from the curtain and yelled, "Christian, Jude come here quickly!"

Jude and Christian looked up and walked hastily to him on the stage. Narky grabbed them and threw them behind the curtain.

Satine and Sadie looked on with concern and started making their way to them but two other women stopped them and pulled them aside. They were confused, very confused.

The two women were wearing disguises so Satine and Sadie couldn't find out who they were. They seemed to quickly work about and laid out two long white dresses. Satine recognized one; it was the Hindu Courtesan dress. She gasped as she took it in her arms.

"Let's put these on," Satine said. Sadie was a little hesitant but did so. The two women came back in after they were done dressing and pulled them out and hurried them out the corridor to the entrance of the theatre. Then they opened the doors…

…and before them in the theatre they saw rows seated with many people, and many Satine recognized from the Moulin Rouge! They walked down the aisle and on the stage, oh Ra, the stage was beautiful! It was like when the premier of "Spectacular! Spectacular!" was in the Moulin Rouge, when it was suppose to be the time that The Courtesan was to marry the Maharajah.

There on the stage in two penniless sitar suits stood Jude and Christian, behind them was an elder man in white robes holding a book. On either side of them were dancers, like the Hindu dancers and the same people from it too! Satine smiled remembering. They were helped on stage by two men dressed like Persian warriors.

They walked up next to the men they were to marry. They said their vows and their "I do's" and they kissed. Then, from the rafters, fell Toulouse in his Sitar costume he yelled for all the theatre to hear, "THE GREATEST THING YOU'LL EVER LEARN IS JUST TO LOVE AND BE LOVED IN RETURN!!"

Christian and Jude smiled at their new wives and they sang:

"Never knew, I could feel like this,

Like I've never seen the sky before.

Want to vanish inside your kiss.

Everyday I love you more and more

Listen to my heart can you hear it sing?

Telling me to give you everything

Seasons may change,

Winter to spring

But I love you

Beyond the end of time

Come What May

Come What May

I will love you forever and beyond"

Satine and Sadie smiled and they sang back:

"Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place

Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace

Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste

It all revolves around you"

They all sang together and dances went on (like near the end of the movie):

"And there's no mountain too high

No river too wide

Sing out this song and

I'll be there by your side

Storm clouds may gather

And stars may collide

But I love you

I love you

Beyond the end of time

Come What May

Come What May

I will love you forever and beyond

Oh Come What May!

Come What May!

I will love you

I will love you

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place"

Everyone joined in the chorus (chorus is Come what may in parentheses):

"(Come What May!)

Come What May!

(Come What May!)

Come What May!

(Come What May!)

I will love you forever and beyond!!"

~~Nine Months Later~~

Sadie, Satine, Jude and Christian all looked in the glass smiling.

"This is so wonderful," a nurse said as she passed by.

Satine smiled and she kissed Christian, "I'm really glad we did this together and look at what we made."

"Yes," Christian said. "We all did this together. Now they know the story."

They peered in at the window where a new book was on display entitled The Love That Overcame All Obstacles. Confused? Oh…did I make you believe that they were peering in at a baby? Good! It's a rip-off of what Barbra Novak did in her book Down With Love (the Movie-to-book version). Hehe, well, continue reading.

"Christian, I need to talk to you privately," Satine said pulling Christian aside. She kissed him a few times and whispered something in his ear. His eyes grew wide.

"I-I… you're…I'm going to be…a father?!" Christian gasped. Satine nodded, she looked like she was expecting an outrage, but Christian pulled her into a hug and lifted her off the ground and spun around laughing, "This is great! We're going to be parents! God, Satine I love you!" Satine laughed and Christian put her down and kissed her. He patted at her stomach lightly and leaned down, "Hello kid. I'm your father!"

Satine laughed. She kissed Christian and said, "I'm so glad you're taking this so well."

"I don't know how I could take it badly," Christian said as he nuzzled her neck. They told Jude and Sadie the good news. They congratulated each other and went out for a dinner to celebrate, Satine stayed away from the alcohol though.

~~Nine Months later~~

After fifteen hours of labor and pushing, finally their child came into the world crying like every other baby. The doctor wrapped it in a blue cloth and said, "It's a boy! Wait! There's another coming out! Push!" Satine pushed and after a few more minutes, the doctor took it out and yelled, "It's a girl!"

Christian smiled as he sat near his wife encouraging her, his hand was probably broken by now. He smiled as he kissed Satine, "Did you hear that Satine? We have twins!"

Satine smiled as she rested. They nurses handed Satine the twins. Satine smiled as she held them with the help of Christian, "They're so beautiful."

The boy had amazingly blue eyes and dark strands of hair. The girl had beautiful green eyes and light strands of red hair on her beautiful head.

"What should we name them?" Christian asked.

"The boy will be Jude Christian Adams," Satine said stroking the baby's cheek.

"Then the girl will be Sadie Satine Adams," Christian said as he carefully held his little girl, "my little girl."

The nurses filled the information on the birth certificate. Sadie and Jude were finally allowed in.

"Well, what are their names?" Jude asked hugging a very pregnant Sadie from behind.

"The boy is Jude Christian Adams and the girl is Sadie Satine Adams," Satine said. Sadie smiled.

"Thank you," she said.

"Yes, thanks for actually thinking us worthy enough to name your children after us," Jude said smiling.

"And you can tell everybody, that this is your song," Satine and Christian sang softly to their two children. "I hope you don't mind, that I put don't in words how wonderful life is now you're in the world."

~~Two months later~~

Finally Sadie had given birth, coincidently, no by fate; she too had given birth to twins! The four best friends found it strange, and their names were Christian Jude Latter and Satine Sadie Latter.

Christian and Satine went back to Paris for a few months after Sadie had given birth to help Harold at the Moulin Rouge. With the money they had gained from book sales and theatre plays, Christian and Satine reopened the Moulin Rouge and then moved back to London.

Jude and Sadie went on to expand Jude's family business into publishing, and Sadie was the head editor and manager. They lived in a beautiful house, not a mansion, just a nice house, right next door to Christian and Satine.

~~End Story~~

Well, I was thinking of just leaving it at chapter seven, but then decided, well, I guess it would be good to get in a marriage and baby birth! Yep so that was the epilogue for you! ^_^ Thanks for reading it all! I'm glad you liked it and I had a lot of fun writing it all for you!

BTW the version of Come What May is the version in the First CD Sountrack, not the original film version and I rearranged the words a little, not "until" just forever and beyond.
