Christine and Erik sat on the couch by the fire as the cold wind blew outside.They had come so far and Christine had kept her news from the doctor a secret for six days now telling Erik that Dr. Pierre had told her to just get rest. Erik walked slowly over to the piano in the next room beginning to play a melody which Christine's father had sung to her every Christmas eve. Christine walked over to where Erik sat and he began the next line as she sang,

"En-tre le boeuf et la ne gris.

Dort dort dort le petit fils; Mille an-ges divins mil-le se-ra-phins.

Vo-lent a l'en tour de ce grand Dieu d'a mour!"

Erik summed up the melody and turned to face Christine.

"This is truly the only happy Christmas eve I've ever had", Erik said softly before telling her to stay there as he went to get her present.

When he returned he handed her a small box and then a larger one. She opened the small box first as her eyes filled with tears at the sight of the diamond, ruby, and jade necklace that was shaped like a rose. She looked closely and could see that the cost of something like this could be unbelievable. The fine detail and craftsmanship was amazing. She kissed Erik thanking him for all he had done because, she could not find words to express how much she loved him. Slowly she opened the other box revealing the picture of her father she had hung on her door for so long at the opera house.

"Erik you...how did you?" ,she asked but he silenced her with a small kiss. She then noticed a letter in the box.

"It's from Meg it arrived today", Erik stated before Christine read it.

"Meg and the Vicomte are getting married!", she shouted. Erik then smiled and nodded his agreement.

Christine soon scampered out of the room then to get his present. When she came back she handed it to Erik. He then placed it on the floor before taking the rose necklace from the box.

"I want to see how this looks on you first", he stated before running his fingers over her neck to clasp the diamond chain. Christine shuddered as he touched her making Erik laugh and kiss the spot where the necklace hung. Christine gasped before backing up and giving him a glance toward his present.

Erik slowly walked over and opened his gift revealing the monkey music box that he had had sitting in Christine's room long ago.

"Christine.. thank you I don't know how you managed to get this but thank you!", he said before kissing her making her desire grow.

"Erik wait", she panted, "There's something else...".

"Yes..", Erik asked.

"Well you know how I was sick...", Erik's eyes grew wide before she continued, "What I told you was not the only thing that was wrong.. I mean well I well...we're I mean...UGHHH!", she shouted getting frustrated, "Erik, I'm with child!" she finally blurted out...

sooo? THANKS TO ALL MY REVIEWERS YOU WILL BE RECONIZED IN THE NEXT CHAPTER!

by the way for those of you who can't speak French here are the words to the song Christine sang...

Angels divine are whispering.

"sleep ,sleep", murmur seraphim; Gentle creatures share barn

and stable bare.

Safe within their care is our

great God of love.

Oh and Erik knew the song because Christine would hum and sing it in her dressing room at the opera populair on Christmas eve when she was young!(just so ya know!)
