CHRIS' POV

"I now present to you Monsieur and Madame Erik Destler." I had to use all my energy to keep from laughing at how Erik had chosen the same last name he chose in his book.

Erik looked down at me and smiled sheepishly kissing me. I could tell he hated it here and that he wanted to go. I didn't blame him because I felt the same.

After we took our first walk as husband and wife the man that I had seen before, met us outside the church. Taking a second look at him I found that he looked familiar for some reason. Of course all suspicion as to who he could be disappeared when he introduced himself.

"Bonjour my name is Monsieur Jacob Leroux and I will be the photographer. It is my pleasure to meet the lucky lady." He said taking my hand and kissing it.

I looked at Erik and had to excuse my self while they talked business about where to take the pictures. I went to a tree with Riegal and burst out laughing. Shortly after Erik joined me and looked at me with a look of fascination. His visible eyebrow raised.

"May I inquire as to what could be so funny?" He asked with a smirk.

"Oh nothing its just." At that I fell over laughing at the coincidences of the events.

"That man is the father of the one who writes the book about your life. He was an investigative journalist, so it's very convenient that his father is a photographer. It's just so funny, I guess we know how that book is written now." I said before breaking down again.

"Alright then. Well I don't want to be here any longer than we have to be. So lets take the pictures and be done with it." He said holding his hand out for me to take.

I took it as we headed towards the spot they had chosen. The sun would be setting behind us as we stood in front of a tree. Monsieur Leroux shot one picture of us smiling holding hands and looking at then camera, another of us looking at each other, one of Erik holding me Bridal style while I looked up at him, and a final one of him holding me like that as we looked at the camera.

When we were finished we gave him the address and he left saying they would be mailed to us in a week.

"So where's this address?" I asked after he left wondering what address Erik had given him.

"That my dear is your third wedding gift." He said smiling.

"What do you mean third. I haven't even gotten my first or second one. I haven't even given you one. Though I already know you'll have to wait till tonight to get that one." I said winking at him. Before he could answer to my statement Laura walked up to me.

"Oh this has been fun. I do hope that we can keep in close contact over the years." She said gripping my hand. "He is a fine man and a wonderful catch." She said looking at Erik.

"Here accept this as my wedding gift. It isn't much but I hope it will do." She said pressing a pouch with some money into my hand. She then handed me an envelope.

"I cant take-" before I could object she shook her head.

"No… you must. The envelope is a letter and my mailing address as well. I hope to keep in contact with you." She said.

I smiled and hugged her close.

"I as well." I said. I was still trying to speak with a sense of propriety and Erik wasdoing his best to teach me French. Which I noticed I picked up rather easily since growing up I could pick up any language if I only listened to it for a few minutes. A musicians ear as Erik called it.

"Come along we should be getting back." Erik said grabbing my hand as he pulled something out of his vest pocket and handed it to Laura whispering something in her ear.

"So now will you answer my question?" I pleaded like a little girl when we were in the carriage.

He just smirked. "You'll just have to wait a couple of weeks now wont you Chrissy dear." He said as he stroked Riegal who was now resting in his lap.

"So what did you give Laura?" I asked him.

He just smirked some more. "You will just have to wait and find out." He said still smirking as he placed a hand on my cheek and leaned across the carriage to kiss me passionately. I gasped at the sudden hunger in the kiss, giving him a chance to deepen the kiss as he messaged my tongue with his own.

"Oooh you have no idea how much I hate that." I said when he leaned back in the carriage with a smug look on his face.

"Actually I think I do Madame. Destler." He said. I finally burst out into laughter when I heard that name. His eyebrow shot up when I started to laugh, only aiding my fit of laughter.

"I'm sorry… its just… its just… oh my God its really not that funny…. But you chose the same last name you chose for yourself in the Phantom of the Opera book." I finally choked out.

He just shook his head as his attention shifted to Reigal.

"So what was the gift you were going to give me when we get home?" He asked. His eyes never leaving Riegal.

"I don't think I'll give it to you." I said smirking.

"And why is that Madame. Destler." He said… that half smirk coming across his face again as I got a flash of his teeth.

"Because you are being a pompous ass." I said winking at him and taking a seat next to him in the carriage.

"Is that so… " He said before kissing me again. Riegal slipped out from between us giving Erik a chance to grab me and place me in his lap. Suddenly I felt a weight being lifted off my chest as I realized that Erik had undone my petticoat and now had undone my corset. I gasped as he bit my lower lip with a passion I had never knew he had in him. He then slipped his tongue into my mouth only causing me to shiver and tremble at his touch.

"Okay Mister what gives with all the sudden passion?" I said as his lips and tongue started to journey down my neck. Sudenly I felt his tongue as he licked my neck and sucked the spot... and then I felt teeth.

"OW… oh My God… what are you Dracula? Stop that this instance!" I yelled at him as I poked his side. He jumped when I did this. "Oh my God we have been living with each other for two months and a half and I only now realize he is ticklish." I said as I tickled him some more.

He squirmed around until he started to laugh and we landed on a heap on the floor as the carriage lurched. Suddenly the door opened and I looked up to see our coach. We had obviously stopped and I had been too busy tickling Erik to notice.

I blushed as I noticed that my skirts were up around my thighs as I was straddling Erik with my hands around his waist. To keep myself from blushing further I yelled at the coach.

"Hey what gives? Ever hear of knocking. Close your mouth… its not like we aren't married." I yelled as I got up and rearranged my dress. Erik smiled and got out of the carriage and assisted me in getting out as I held Riegal.

"Hey wipe that smirk off your face Oliver Twist or no soup for you." I yelled at the coach who was actually my age and worked at the stalls we had rented the carriage from.

"Now, now dear that will be enough." He said as he handed the boy some money and bid him on his way.

After he left I sighed and noticed that Erik was looking at me when laughing.

"What is so funny Messieur Destler?" I asked in sardonically.

"You are my lady. You should have seen the look upon your face when he saw us. You were more red than my Red Death suit." He said.

"Well oh ha ha ha ha ha." I said poking his side again. He bucked at the sudden ticklishness.

"And ha. And HA! HA HA HA HA." I said poking him every time I said it as I chassed him all the way into the theatre and to the stage.

"Now let it be war upon you Madame Destler." He said whirling around and throwing his lasso around me. It caught me around the waist as he pulled me towards him.

"It looks as if I have caught my prey." He said sniffing my hair.

"Yes it would appear you have. But you will never tame her that is for sure. This mare is wild and is once again on the run." I said slipping out of the lasso by slipping under if after I sucked in as much air as I could.

I looked over to see his sudden surprise at how I had been able to escape his Punjab lasso and laughed.

"Did you really honestly think that you could catch me? Honestly Erik." I laughed

He laughed to as I sat down a little tired from today's happenings. Erik came over and I placed my head in his lap as he played with my hair. Riegal had found a ball and was now nuzzling it around the stage.

"Erik." I said in a barely audible whisper.

"Yes."

"I… I… I love you. I know I Have said it before but I Just felt that you needed to know it. I do love you and I will never leave you." I said as my heart was racing.

ERIK'S POV

I looked down at her when she said that and I smiled. I had never known that this could happen to me. I was married and having kids. I didn't think that that was possible for me but I was obviously wrong. I knew than that no matter what happened I would always love her too, and I would never leave her.

"Christina… I love you more. And I wouldn't leave you for anything in the world. I mean that." I said tilting her head so she was looking me in the eyes. She smiled and reached up removing my mask.

"Don't ever wear it around me. I love you more than a million pounds of fudge." She said with a twinkle in her eye.

"And I love you more than a million pianos." I said.

We just lay there like that for hours listening to the silence.

"Come on I wanna show you something." She said standing up and grabbing my hand as she led me towards the roof.

When we got there she sat on the ledge with a leg dangling over the edge. I sat next to her with both my legs dangling over each side as she leaned into my chest.

I looked down to see that Riegal had followed us and smiled at him. He was getting bigger over the days. I looked up at the late November sky.

"Your birthday is in a few days isn't it Erik." She said. I smiled.

"Well how did you know that? Yes it is… it's on the 13th actually. That's 3 days." I said. I had never really cared before or even noticed when it was my birthday. To me it was just another day on my pathetic life. When I looked down at Christina though I smiled knowing that this birthday would be my best and that the ones after it would be even better.

"Well your wedding gift will arrive soon." She said with a gleam in her eyes.

"Oh will it?"

"Yes… actually it will be here in… 3… 2… 1-" Just then it started to rain. But this rain wasn't cold like normal November rain. It was warm and humid out actually.

She started to laugh and leaned back soaking in the rain as it soaked her dress and the material clung to her body showing everything.

"I love the rain. I love the water. I could never live somewhere no near to the water." She said with a glint.

I picked her up and spun her around as we laughed and Ikissed her. A sudden flash of Raoul spinning Christine in the snow came to mind as I smiled at it. One love in the Rain, another in the snow.

"I think I will tell you what your present is now." I said as I held her close to me and rocked back and for the to an unheard tune.

"Mmmm?" she said not wanting to speak or ruin the silence and pleasure of the moment.

"I bought us a farm in the south of France called Manoir Fruty. It's in Bretenoux and it has a swimming pool. Plus it isnear the water." I said still holding her to me. "The second one is the stables that layare on the property, and the third you willhave to wait for." I looked down to see her looking up at me with tears in her eyes. Not the rain but tears.

"Oh Erik… Oh God I love you so much." She said as she hugged me closely to her.

"Come on we should be getting inside." I said. She stopped me.

"Can't we too have our song? Instead in the rain." She said, smirking at my own thoughts.

I smiled and started to sing.

You turn your head away,

From the silent stare we make,

I look into your eyes of gold,

To see a storm begin to take hold,

You think you know so much,

Yet looking there I know you need a crutch

Let me in and you will see,

That to me you are all I want to see.

All I want is you with me.

I was cupping her face with my hands by now looking into those deep pools of gold. I now realized why Adrianne had called her Wolf. Her eyes were like Riegal's.

Help me look into your eyes.

Help me to see what lies inside.

Show me the truth and hold me tight.

Never let me out of your sight.

Help me become al I can be

All I need you to say is that you love me.

She was looking in my eyes as she cried and held onto my cape for warmth. She then dug her face into my hair as she tousled it and listened to me sing to her. She had to stand on her tippy toes to do this,so I picked her up and she wrapped her legs around my waist for support.

I'll hold you tight and keep you safe.

I'll guard you from the burning light of day.

I'll tell you what you want to hear.

That all I want of you is to stay right here.

I love you

I set her down so she could look me in the eyes as she sang her part.

I'm letting you in and letting you see,

That to me you are all I also want to see,

I love you too and all I want is you with me.

"Come on we can go inside now." I said as I picked her up and carried her down to my lair as Riegal followed silently.

A few minutes later we were back home and Christina had changed out of the dress and was just in her undergarments much like Christine when I had first brought her here.

"Come on Erik its time for your real present." She said with a mischievous, and lustful glint in her eyes.

I laughed as I saw her head back towards the bedroom and I followed her. Thinking.

I guess her being pregnant can work to my advantage.
