The next day...
Everybody got up and Meg, Lizzie and Madame Giry started to helped the maids and servants make breakfast while the men started to make a fire in the fireplace.
Dr. Taylor went into Christine's room and found her awake. "Good morning Christine." Dr. Taylor said walking up to her and went to his bag and got out some medicine.
"Good morning, Dr. Taylor." Christine said repositioning herself in her bed.
"How do you feel?" He asked getting a bottle of medicine and took it to a cup and put 2/3'rds of it in the cup.
"Great!" She said joyfully.
"Can you stand?" Dr. Taylor asked, now looking at her.
"I'll try." She said standing up and held onto the dresser while doing so. She stood there for a while so her legs would re-adjust to standing up. She let go and stood there and flexed her legs. She finally walked around and up to him.
"Do you want me to drink this?" She asked.
"Yes, It will help heal your bruises and scars." He replied handing the cup to her.
Christine drank the medicine out of the cup and tried not to gag.
"I know, its not good but it will help." He said "We should go into the other room and see everyone."
"You haven't seen everyone yet?"
"No, not yet." He said pushing her gently out of the room. "Everyone will be happy to see you." He said smiling.
They walked into the room and saw everyone at the table, they all turned and looked at Dr. Taylor then Christine and all their jaws dropped.
"Christine!" Lizzie and Meg said running out of their chairs towards Christine and gently tackled her to the sofa.
Lizzie and Meg planned to tickle Christine, when she was up. Christine started giggling really hard to the point were she couldn't stop.
"Girls! Off Christine now! You're going to give her a heart attack sooner or later." Madame Giry said getting out of her chair and walked up to both girls and grabbed both of their arms and pulled them back.
Christine got up in a sitting position and took a big breath "Thanks." She said smiling and looked at both girls and playfully glared at them. "We're not done with this yet!" She said smirking. Both girls looked at Christine and smirked "You wish, we're never done with this when it comes to you." Both said walking with Christine to the table.
All four women sat down and started eating.
"So Christine, how are you feeling?" Gabriel said looking at Christine while eating his eggs.
"I'm better, then I was before." She said suddenly looking at another picture of her father, then turned her head away in a flash.
Gabriel looked at the picture too. "Look Christine, I know its hard for you to be here because of all the memories of you and your father and all of our family, but you have to fight it off, I know its hard but please forget it.
"How can I? There's so many memories here and I can lirterally look into each room and remember one." Christine said getting out of her chair and walked to the family room.
"Wait! How did your father die?" Meg asked.
Christine turned around to face them."Well my mother died giving birth to me and my father swore to watch over me and protect me, so he did, he watched over me like a hawk. We always went to carnavils and I watched him play the violin. At nights when we came back he always taught me songs to sing and he always use to put me to sleep playing his violin, and one night I remember I was in my room in my bed and I heard two people discussing something with my father... As I recall, it was something about my future..."
Madame Giry and Erik all looked at eachother. "Christine..." Erik started "We have to tell you something." Erik said standing up and Madame Giry did the same.
"Christine... The two people you were talking about were us." Erik said looking away from those tempting brown irises and at the same time pointing to him and Madame Giry.
"You knew my father..." Christine asked stunned "Why didn't you ever tell me?"
"Because I couldn't yet." Erik said urging himself to spit the words out."Your father told me to wait until we were here."
"Why?"
"We don't know Christine, he never told us." Madame Giry replied, now joining in.
"Okay." Christine said sighing to herself. "Go on."
"The reason why he was discussing your future with us was because he knew his time was short here and so he wanted me to become your legal guardian and The Phantom to be your Angel of Music to guide and protect you." Madame Giry responded remembering the memory.
"If he knew, why did he never tell me?" Christine asked still stunned by all the information but at the same time trying to process it in her mind.
"Because he knew if he told you at that young of an age, he would break your heart, so he kept it secret." Erik responded.
"And after we got done with the discussion, he made me stay for a bit and made me promise that you would..." Erik stopped and took a deep breath." He made me promise that I would become your husband one day."
"WHAT!" Everybody exclaimed coughing and choking on their drinks and falling off the sofa.
Christine stood there, wide eyed, now really hard trying to process the information.
"He made you promise?" Christine asked still standing there like a statue.
"Yes." Erik coughed out.
"Okay." Christine said smiling. "I finally get it all."
"You do?" Everybody said.
"Yes, my father picked the two people he thought would take really good care of me." Christine said aloud.

"Um, Dectective can I talk to you." The Vicomte said holding his leg to stop the bleeding.
The Dectective turned around "Good god man, what happend?"
"Lets just say, I found 'The Phantom of the Opera'."
