Raoul- Holidays and special occasions, and a R/C fic! Mwa ha ha ha ha ha!


Me- er, evilness doesn't suit you...


Raoul- Shut up!




Remembering

A birthday story, cute, romantic in other words Raoul doesn't like it...



Erik awoke with a sigh, stretching out across the pillow and growing stiff. Why wasn't she there? He jumped from the bed, racing throughout the room and Christine's room for his beloved. He made his way out into the front room. A note had been tacked to the door, written in her simple scrawl.

Erik,

Good morning! I'm sorry, but I have a rather important engagement that concerns the Opera, and I should be home around noon.

I love you,

Christine


Disbelieving he changed from his clothing into something fresh. He fed Ayesha and set about his usual routine. After a bit it was 12:00, and Christine wasn't there. He figured she was running late and so he went to read in the other room.

He heard the door open but did not stir, he would let her come to him. She was slow about doing so but finally she was there, and she smiled, coming to his chair and kissing his hand affectionately.

"You are late." He said teasingly.

She laughed. "It said around noon, come, I have something for you."

He eyes her. "Whatever for?"

"Don't ask questions, close your eyes." He sighed and obeyed and he couldn't help but smile as her lips pressed to his, adding pressure and persuading him to kiss her deeply.

"Christine, it's so early I the afternoon for that! Don't you think?"

She laughed and drew him to his feet, she led him into the other room and then told him to open his eyes.

He did so and nearly fainted as he beheld the dining table, candles on it, and a box. Next to the box was a small, but neatly made cake and two places were set.

"I didn't want to make it hear because I knew you would smell it." She turned him to her and lovingly kissed him again. "Happy birthday, love."

Speechless he clutched her to him and smiled in near disbelief. "Oh, Christine I, I..."

She smiled, tipping her chin to look at him. "You love me?"

He savored her kiss, thankful for his good fortune to have won her heart one year ago. She had come to him with words of love on her lips, and she had spread them from her lips to his, removing his mask and pressing her warm soft mouth tightly against his.

He pulled her chair back for her, smiling down at his wife and then pushing the chair back in, seating himself.

After they ate the lunch she had prepared and a bit of cake, she motioned for him to open the box. He did so, his eyes lifting to her even as he opened the ribbon, then box.

He moved aside some tissue paper and picked up a small, silver rattle, he stared at it for a second, confused, then his eyes widened and met her own sparkling ones.

"Christine, are you...???"

She sobbed and nodded, standing and running to his arms, crying into his shirtfront as he placed several kisses over her forehead. "Just in time for your birthday."

He whimpered, his hold more gentle now and he held her for a long time. "Christine, I never thought I would be happy in my miserable existence, but then you loved me and married me and now..." He placed his hand gently against her. "Now you are giving me a child of your body, I can never repay you."

"Just love me and our baby." She whispered. And indeed he did and would.
