Chapter 28
4 months later, I had a beautiful little girl who Erik and I called Meg.
Gustave was over the moon to have a baby sister to look after and Meg was horned to be a godparent.
"She is so beautiful." Mme Giry said.
"Thank you" I said. Erik came in with a bottle of milk and handed it to me.
"Has she kept you awake yet?" Meg asked.
"Every night." I said with a yawn. "I'm so tired."
They laughed at me and I smiled.
Meg opened her eyes and looked up and me.
"Hello beautiful girl. Your godmother is here today." I said.
"May I hold her?" She asked.
"Oh course."
The rest of the time, we sat, talked and drunk coffee, tea and orange juice. Erik wrapped his arms around me and I leant back into his arms, baby Meg in mine. Gustave was playing 'Peek-a-boo' with baby Meg with his teddy making her laugh.
Meg and Mme Giry were watching her laughing to.
I was finally happy, Erik and I were getting married in a few weeks' time, Gustave was still his playful old self and I finally had the wonderful happy family I had always wanted.
I put baby Meg in her coat, Gustave still playing 'Peek-a-boo' with her and I cuddled back into Erik's arms and drifted off into a long needed, and happy sleep. A unmovable smile on my lips.
