Phantom thought for a moment. He wondered what sort of news Christine would have for him. "Well, what would that news be?" he asked, almost dreading the answer. Christine's eye shown for a moment then she spoke, "I'm expecting." Phantom thought for a moment. Who was the lucky chap? Then he thought he had it. "I'm happy for you and Raoul." He said coldly. Christine followed him as he walked into the lair. "Oh but Phantom, Raoul is not the father!" she said. Phantom kept walking towards his organ. "So another chap is the lucky one eh? Well he should be happy." Christine shook her head. "Oh Phantom, you know the lucky chap." Phantom sat down at his organ. "Of course I do." He spat. Christine sat down beside him. "Phantom…you are the father." She said. The Phantom stopped in his tracks. Him? A father? Impossible…especially with a woman such as Christine as the mother. "You are lying." He said. "No Phantom. And I am happy you are the father." Phantom was just letting it all sink in. "I…a father? I would have never guessed." He said. "Which is why I didn't let you keep guessing!" Christine smiled. Phantom felt like fainting for once. The two talked for a long while, until Phantom finally had to tell Christine she must return. She reluctantly left the Phantom in his lair.

Christine returned to her room. She almost couldn't believe the news herself. She felt like jumping off a cliff, just for the thrills.

Someone knocked on the door. Christine's humor vanished when Raoul walked in. Oh bother, what did he want?

"Good day, Christine." He said with a bow. Christine impolitely ignored his greeting. Raoul looked around the room and gasped. "What?" Christine asked startled. "Christine…are you expecting?" Raoul asked. Christine looked down at her belly. "Is it that noticeable?" she asked. Raoul nodded, "Unfortunately. But the question is who the father is? You are not married…" Christine looked down, "That is none of your business Viscount." She retorted. Raoul was silent for a moment. "Don't tell me…is it…that monster?" Christine's eyes raged, "He isn't a monster Raoul! He is more man than you could ever be…and it just so happens he is the father." Raoul looked hurt. He thought to himself, the monster and Christine? What a horrible pair.

Christine seemed to read his mind, "I know you think I am mad…but I'm not Sir." Raoul shook his head. "You have lost your mind…I didn't think the monster had enough power to entice you into such things!" Christine shook her own head, "You may go!" Raoul dashed out of the room.

Little did either know that Phantom was standing just behind the mirror. He felt so proud that Christine had once again stood up for him so majestically. He happily waved his cape and stalked back down to his little house.

Christine walked out of her room. She strode towards Meg's room. Meg was practicing ballet moves in her room when Christine walked in. Meg stopped and smiled, "Christine, it has been a while!" Christine nodded, "Yes, it has Meg. I'm sorry that I haven't been around." Meg shook her head, "It is not your fault. What were you doing in the hospital though?" Christine wondered if she should tell her who the father was. "I…I'm expecting Meg." She tried to make it sound happy, but she could hear her waver nervously. Meg noticed too, "That is wonderful Christine! I'm happy for you!" Christine was waiting for her to ask who the father was. But she didn't. She just congratulated her. Christine felt relieved. Her secret was safe, or at least until Raoul went and blurted it to the managers.
