The Mouse in the Opera House: That works, but Nadir already likes Meg. It's Meg's turn to like him back. Which she will. Wait, nevermind. I'm using that. Want me to thank you in the next chapter for the idea?

MyDarkAngelErik: It won't be poor Christine or Meg any longer. winks devilishly (is that a word?)

WanderingTeen: And they will be together.

Erik's Secret Admirer: If you were on the fan fic website on April 27, you will see that the email alerts were closed down for two days. I'm stupid. I didn't know either!

Jamea: She's not pregnant. (yet) Oops! That's a spoiler!

Dinner and Pain

Meg

I'm nauseous from nervousness. I want to tell Nadir that I really, really like him, but he'll reject me. I'm a pregnant woman. There is no way a man will love a pregnant woman. Especially when she's depressed. I'm going to act as happy as possible at dinner, attempting to show Nadir how I really am. One can hope for love.

Christine

Dinner is going wonderfully. It's like having the old Meg back again. I will thank Erik profusely later for taking us all out. Nadir has a light in his eyes that makes him look 10 years younger. Meg looks happy again. I can still see that she is still despairing over Raoul and the baby, but it has been pushed back. I hope Nadir is falling for her.

Nadir

Every time she smiles, my heart takes a huge leap. I want to tell her right now that I love her. But I can't, can I? She is still pining over Raoul I am sure. I will wait until she shows some sign that she feels for me.

Meg

Oh, I don't feel so good. I guess it was more than nervousness that got to me. I am seriously cramping up. Ohhhh. My groans attracted attention from Nadir. He says I have a fever, and I told him I am cramping. Maybe I have stomach flu. Nadir has taken me back to Erik's lair. Erik is still out with Christine doing God knows what. Nadir is being so very kind. He has made just the right medicine for the cramping to go away. He has his hand on my stomach, much to my embarrassment. It is not proper for a man to touch a woman's pregnancy if they are not related or married.

"Don't you mind that you have your hand on my stomach, which is swollen with pregnancy?"

He looked very surprised and said

"What does you being pregnant matter?"

"Well men tend to stay away from pregnant woman."

He laughed, he actually laughed.

"Is that what has been concerning you? I love children, and you being pregnant means nothing in the way that I feel about you."

He immediately looked down as if what he said was a mistake. I took great hope in that, and said very, very softly

"How do you feel about me?"

He replied, just as softly

"I love you."

A/N: Finally, the MegxNadir romance beings.Anyway, I just found out that shut down the alerts for two days, so very few of you got the alert for my last chapter. I just wanted to clear that up.
