Ch. 20

Erik could not help but smile at the sight before him. Anna was beaming radiance. She looked more beautiful, than he could have ever imagined. He did not know how he had become so lucky. Erik's eyes began to gloss when Anna looked up at him.

"I told you every thing would be fine." Anna teased as she looked down at her perfect, whole baby.

"Yes, my love, you surly did." Erik replied as he kissed the top of her head.

"Where is she, I want to see her." They heard a voice talking outside the door.

"She is in…" The maid started but did not get to finish for Christine had already burst into the room.

Both Anna and Erik could not suppress their giggles.

"Oh Anna, you look wonderful." Christine said as she bent over to embrace Anna. "You look nice also Erik."

Anna had spent most of her pregnancy with Christine for it was a few weeks after the opera, that Christine announced Raoul's and her pregnancy. They had all spent a great deal of time together. That included Raoul and Erik. They were not quite friends yet, but they could tolerate one another and engage in conversation. They had all in some sort of way become the best of friends.

"Well boy or girl." Christine asked as she clutched her growing belly.

Anna looked down at the infant she had held under her heart for the last nine months and smiled.

"Girl." Anna told her proudly.

"Oh that is so wonderful Anna, maybe I will have a girl and they will grow up and be the best of friends. Would that not be the most wonderful thing?" Christine rambled excitedly.

"Christine everything excites you doesn't it." Raould asked as he walked into the room. "Hello Erik, nice to see you again." Raoul said extending his hand to Erik.

Erik accepted still a bit hesitantly.

"Oh Raoul, just think we are going to have one of these in a few months." Christine beamed.

"Yes, it will certainly be an exciting day." Raoul replied as he looked down at the tiny baby girl. "Anna, she is remarkably beautiful."

"Thank you Raoul." Anna said

"So what have you decided to name her?" Christine questioned.

"We decided to name her after my birth mother. Kimber Angeline Destler. My mother's name was Kimberly, but it is still real similar." Anna said as tears came to her eyes. "It was Erik's suggestion."

"Oh that is beautiful." Christine said as she too began to weep.

"Why are you two crying?" Erik asked baffeled.

"Because we are just so happy." They both responded in a shrill, tear filled voice.

"Raoul lets go celebrate in my study, let the women cry and weep over the baby, what do you say." Erik suggested happily.

"Sounds like a plan." Raoul responded as he followed Erik's lead out the door.

Erik turned back to take one more look at Anna's face.

"Anna." He called out to get her attention. "I love you."

OOOO

They last year had treated them fairly. They were hopelessly in love with one another and it seemed that they would always be. Their daughter was growing up beautifully and she had a personality so magnetic, that when she would become a lady, Erik would have to be lassoing boys left and right.

The year had been good to them indeed.

He had Anna in his life and that was more than he would ever ask for. They had gotten little sleep last night. They got little sleep every night. But they loved one another and cherished every moment wrapped up in each other.

It was Kimber's first birthday party.

Their families and friend's would be arriving later. He rolled over to look at his gorgeous wife. How he had kept her all this time he would never know, but she loved him and that was all that seemed to matter.

She looked beautiful when she slept. Her hair a golden mess and her ivory skin flushed from earlier actions.

He loved this woman with all his soul.

"Why are you staring at me?" Anna asked

"Because I did not know you were awake." Erik teased as he brushed her curls from her face.

"I am always awake." Anna answered back.

"What time is everyone arriving?" Erik asked curiously.

"Christine will be arriving with Raoul and Sofia at twelve and it is ten so I should get ready." Anna replied as she heard the clock chime ten.

Anna had gotten up out of the bed when she felt herself being pulled back down. Erik's lips crushed down on hers.

She always lost herself in his kiss. She knew she always would

When he pulled away, Anna cursed herself for she knew she wanted more.

"Just a preview of tonight." Erik told her seductively.

Anna grinned at his words.

"Looking forward to it my love."
