Yet another author's note here, sorry about that. I hope that you have just finished reading the two new chapters and hoped that you liked them both. I am going to try to update as soon as I can and try not to work any other story besides this one so I can complete it and all my readers do not have to wait so long in anticipation. I hope to see your reviews soon and hope that you continue on through the journey of this cute little family. I do not own Love Never Dies obviously. Anyway please read and review. Xoxo Creaturess of the Night (and Erik). :)
He got up without waking him and blew out the candle on his way out. He shut the door softly behind him as he headed back Christine. He walked into the living room and saw she was smiling. He asked "What?" She replied "I checked in on you two about the middle of the story and you two looked so sweet together." He smiled and said "I am glad to know that we are actually becoming a family."
Christine replied "Me too." He sat down next to her and she said "I have something to tell you." He asked "What is it?" She replied "I want to tell you that I love to see you smile and laugh I never have until now." He looked at her and said "It is because you and Gustave have given me a reason to be happy, a reason to smile and laugh more. Just a reason not to be miserable, and in heartbreaking agony."
She whispered "I wish that we could have been here for you the last 10 years and made you this way." He smiled and said softly "You are both here now and that is all that matters because you have given me a reason to live happily and have given me inspiration." She replied "I am glad. I do not know that I would have done if I would not have received that invitation from you."
Erik looked at her intently and said "Honestly my angel. I do not know what I would have done if you had not accepted it. I do not know where I would be in life if I would never have seen you again." Christine leaned her head against his chest listening to his steady heart beat and replied "I think that you would have found some way to live through your pain and find something to make you happy."
Erik held her tightly and whispered "I do not think so Christine. After you left every piece of music I wrote was agonizingly sad, haunting, and painful. Ever since you left I had lost all inspiration for writing music and now that you are back I have a lot of better music running through my head." She said "After Raoul and I left the opera house he would not let me sing anymore.
Every time I would sing around the house he would yell at me and finally I just stopped singing around him. I did not sing much anymore because he kept telling me that the days at the opera house are over and my days of singing are over because I could not reach out to connect to you when I was his." Erik looked at her confused and replied "That logic does not make sense."
Christine said "I did try telling him that but it caused more arguments and I stopped trying once Gustave was born. The only time Raoul let me sing was to sing him to sleep." Erik replied "That is terrible of him to do that to you. I want you to know that you can sing all you want here. In fact I will write music for you to sing if you wish me to."
Christine smiled and said "Thank you Erik." He nodded and replied "You are welcome my angel." She yawned and he said "You are tired and need to sleep." She nodded and he grabbed her by the hand and helped her to her feet. They walked hand in hand to the other bedroom.
Christine asked "You have your own house on the grounds right?" Erik replied "Oui, but I am going to spend the night next to you if you do not mind." Christine shook her head and said "I do not mind at all love as long as you do not." Erik shook his head and replied "No. I was thinking though that if you wanted to you and Gustave can move in there tomorrow if you two wanted to."
