Hello to all my readers. I am glad that you are reading my new chapter. Sorry it's been so long since I updated. I started yet another story something that I keep doing and shouldn't. I forgot where I was going with this one and then I decided that for right now I would wing it and see what happens. So sorry for the long wait and I will try to update more and very shortly. Sorry if the chapter sucks and if it is you may tell me so in a review. I hope you like it and please review Erik is kind of bummed out that I have not updated this in forever...so please make him smile by reading and reviewing.
Disclaimer (Since if have not done one in forever)- I do not own anything that resembles Love Never Dies.
Erik asked "Really?" Christine nodded and replied "Really. I only left because you told me too and I would do anything for you." He asked "Then what about the ring moment?" Christine shivered at replied "I thought that you did not want me to stay and I should have known that I was wrong when you told me you loved me." Erik held her close to him and said "I understand Christine. If I would have known that you loved me so much then I would not have asked you to leave." Christine replied "I should have showed you more clearly that I loved you and not Raoul."
Erik said "I should have seen it clearly my angel." Christine sighed softly with content and replied "It is not your fault my love. It was just not meant to happen at that specific moment in time." Erik said "Then I am glad that it is this specific moment in time that I can have you almost all to myself." Christine asked "Who are you sharing me with my angel?"
Erik replied "Even though I love you to death my angel. I do not think it would be right to take full possession of you when Gustave loves his mother so much." She laughed and said "Well then other than Gustave do you have to share me with anyone else?" Erik held her tightly as he replied "No. Other than Gustave no one owns you except me, you are all mine."
Christine said "Good because. Other than Gustave I own you too." He laughed and what he did not know was how much Christine liked to hear the sound in his chest while her head was leaning against it. Gustave walked into the room and smiled when he saw his mother and father curled up together on the sofa. He asked "What are you two up to?"
Erik smiled innocently and replied "Just plotting world domination, nothing important." Gustave smiled and asked "Am I allowed to help?" Erik looked taken aback and replied "But of course Gustave. We would not plot the demise of earth without our little angel." He smiled and ran over and jumped up onto the couch next to them. They smiled warmly at him as he cuddled up between the two.
He looked up at Erik and asked "Dad, can I ask you something?" Erik looked at him and replied "Sure." Gustave asked "Are you going to leave mom again?" Erik looked into his son's blue eyes and whispered "No Gustave, I am never going to leave your mother again. Not until she orders me from her side." Gustave smiled and whispered "That means we can actually be a family." Erik smiled and said "Yeah buddy that means we can be an actual family."
Gustave hugged him and replied "I'm glad that I know you." Erik said "I'm glad that I know you too Gustave." Gustave smiled brightly as Christine smiled at both of them. Then Gustave looked like he just remembered something and started to laugh. Erik and Christine stared at him confused. Erik asked "What is it Gustave?" He looked at Christine and smiled. He said "When you were talking to Raoul's mother earlier that was the first time I have ever heard you curse."
Erik looked at Christine and added "He's right that was the first time that I have ever heard you curse too." Christine replied "I am sorry for that but the situation demanded it. I could not let her harm my son or angel." Erik smiled and said "Well you could have but there would have been some issues with that and then some more issues between us." Christine asked "What kind of issues?"
Erik smiled and replied "Like throwing you in the pool issues and then watching you look like a soaked rat when you come out drenched." She said "You would not dare." Erik whispered "But I have already kidnapped you once. I would dare." She laughed and said "You are just mean."
He smiled and said "I know I am. I'm mean I like it." Gustave smirked and replied "If you were really mean then you would put powder and paint all over mom and then throw her in the pool so when she comes out she can have it smeared all over." Erik said "There you go Gustave welcome the world of scheming." Christine pouted and replied "You both are so mean to me."
Erik looked at her innocently and said "We aren't the ones that cursed. We could have washed your mouth out with soap for using that kind of language." Christine smiled and said "I could wash your mouth out with soap for cursing all the time." He looked her innocently and asked "Who? Me? I would never do a thing like that." Christine asked "Like you would never smash glass objects?"
Erik shook his head and replied "No I would never do such things." Christine laughed and said "I am glad to know that the Angel of Music does not have anger issues." Erik whispered "I will work on that." She kissed his cheek and softly said "I know." Christine asked "So, is Gustave going to have to soft soak you into telling him a story before he goes to bed?" Erik replied "No, I will tell him one about a rabbit and a raven and unicorns."
Gustave said "That is a little girly, don't you think?" Erik replied "There are all the stories about swords and knights who fall for princesses." Gustave asked eagerly "Will you tell me that one?" Erik nodded and replied "Of course. But you have to promise that you will not judge me if I get off topic." Gustave smiled and said "As long as you do not get off topic with rainbows and unicorns then I will be fine."
Erik smiled and replied "Promise." Gustave smiled and got up before going to his room knowing that Erik would come in a minute. Erik asked "Any advice?" Christine replied "Just make it up as you go along. That is what I normally do." Erik said "I will try. But I am not good at making up stories." Christine replied "Do not worry I think that he will be glad that you tried because Raoul never did."
Erik asked "What kind of man cannot see what an amazing child Gustave?" Christine shrugged and said "I do not know Erik. I have no clue what happened to Raoul." Erik hugged her and replied "What happened to him will never happen to me." Christine said "I know. I think you should hurry up though if Gustave has your temper who knows what kind of fit he will have."
Erik laughed as he got up and went to Gustave's bedroom. He saw that Gustave was already lying in his bed covered up staring at the ceiling. Erik sat down on the edge of the bed and started telling him a random story about a knight who had to go fight a fierce dragon. By the end of the story the knight was okay and the dragon was slain. Gustave drifted off to sleep and Erik smiled at how peaceful he looked.
