Yeah, hi. I'm kind of in a pissy mood right now because I got in a fight with the mother. She got pissed at me for saying "Honest to Christ" and "Holy Hell." I don't particularly care for that woman...but that's beyond the point. THANK YOU FOR THE REVIEWS! I have a few ideas that I'm juggling around in my mind, but I'll just let my fingers do the work, not my brain. Anyway...I do not own POTO, and you know what? NEITHER DO YOU! HAHAHAHAHA!

Meg fell asleep in Erik's study, so I left her in there to sleep. The sun was rising now, so Dante and Gustave would be up soon. I quietly went upstairs and back into my room and curled up in bed next to Erik. Just as I started to fall asleep, I heard little feet scampering down the hall and my door slam open. "GOOD MORNING!" Of course, it was Gustave. Dante followed, as usual, but he was the first to jump into bed with me and Erik. Erik groaned and rolled over.

"Aren't you still tired? The sun is barely up!" He grabbed Dante and started tickling him, and I did the same with Gustave. The boys were laughing hysterically, and then they both started attacking Erik. I watched intently, but then I started to think. Meg's child will never have this. Even if that ignorant fop takes responsibility for what he did, he would never havea relationship with the child like Erik had with Dante and Gustave. I rested my hand on my barely-swollen belly and smiled thinking of how lucky this little baby would be. It will be born to a family: a Mama anda Papa who are very much in love and two older brothers who will worship and adore it. Meg's child would be born to a young, single mother, a loving grandmother, and maybe, just maybe a father who used Meg as a revenge mechanism, which resulted in the baby's birth.

I must've been unfocused for a few minutes, because all of a sudden I heard Erik calling my name. "Christine...Christine...are you with me?" I laughed quietly at myself and nodded. I noticed that the boys were already gone, probably getting ready for breakfast.

"I'm sorry, Erik...it's just, I have a lot on my mind." He took my hand and nodded.

"Do you want to tell me about it?"

I looked him in the eyes. "A few hours ago Meg came pounding on the door. You probably heard her. She was hysterical. She's...she's pregnant..."

Erik had the most suprised look on his face. "Wha-hold on now...I'm confused."

I nodded in agreement. "That was my inital reaction. She finally explained what happened that night we were in Paris. Apparently, some miserable fop took advantage of her, which is why she's in the condition she's in right now." Erik's face turned from utter shock to fury.

"That bastard...I swear if I EVER see him, he will have hell to pay. Who does he think he is?" Erik stood up and started pacing and muttering obscenties.

"I know how you feel, Erik. But think of Meg. I mean, besides her mother, she has nobody. Nobody to help her. So I was thinking...maybe she could stay with us until she gets back on her feet? I know that it will be stressful because we'll have our new baby and she'll have hers, but the poor girl is all alone. Please, Erik? The Opera House isn't the proper place to have a child." Erik sighed.

"Christine, do we have a choice? I'm not going to turn her out. Where is she now?"

"In your study, sleeping. She's a mess, Erik. A complete mess."

Erik started changing out of his nightclothes (Author's Note: NAKED ERIK! drool) "We'll contact Madame Giry as soon as possible and inform her that Meg is safe here. I'm only going to assume that Meg hasn't told her yet, so she can come whenever she has time. She and Meg have a lot to discuss." I nodded. I loved it when Erik took charge. "But right now, I think that you should go back to sleep for a few more hours. It isn't healthy for the baby for you to be sleep deprieved." I nodded, once again, and Erik came and kissed the top of my head and rested his hand on my belly. "Go to sleep, mon ange." I laid down and shut my eyes, and sleep came to me quickly. Needless to say, I had very strange dreams, dreams of murder and deceit.

Hmmm...perhaps another update tonight. I think so. R&R!
