The Lady Or the Beauty

Change

Meg's POV

I wake in Nadir’s arms. I groan at the massive headache I have. Maybe I had a little too much to drink last night. I feel Nadir shift.

“Nadir? Are you awake?” I whisper, lightly shaking him.

“What?” he sleepily groans.

“Nothing...I just wanted to answer your question…”

“What question?” He is confused at first, but then the lightbulb goes off. “Oh, right!!!” He practically leaps off the bed. I chuckle. He takes my hands and helps me out of bed. He clears his throat. “Meg Giry would you do me the honors of becoming my wife. I know I’m not perfect, but I believe you would perfect me…”

“YES! OF COURSE!!!!!!” We both laugh. I am crying. Nadir picks me up and spins me around. He then places the most beautiful ring on my hand. I am speechless. “Nadir...it’s beautiful…” He chuckles.

“I thought you would like it.”

“And you were so right….I’m going to tell Christine!” I kiss Nadir and race out the door. My bare feet slap against the wood floor. I race to Erik and Christine’s room. I pull their door open. They are still asleep. Not for long I think. I get a running start and leap on their bed.

“Christine! Christine! Christine!” Erik wakes up but Christine doesn’t.

“What in the bloody hell are you doing?!” Erik is not very happy.

“I have to tell Christine something!!!”

“Can it not wait?” Then Erik realizes he is not wearing his mask. He growls and places a hand over his face.

“Just wake her up!!!!” Erik shifted and gently shook Christine.

“Darling, there is a crazy woman who wants to talk to you” Christine slowly woke up.

“What? What is it?” She sat up. You could tell easily now that she was pregnant. Her belly was very noticeable.

“Christine!!! Nadir asked me to marry him!” I exclaimed.

“Did you say “yes”?” She rubbed the sleep from her eyes.

“Of course!”

“Good. Now let me sleep.” She rolled over and fell asleep again.

“What’s with her?” I asked Erik. He sighed.

“She’s pregnant. I don’t try and understand why she does what she does. Pregnant women are a mystery to me.” I sighed.

“I’ll see you guys later…” I walked out of the room and made my way to find Nadir. He was in the kitchen. One day it might be me and him lying in bed together with me pregnant. I smiled at the thought. My whole world was going to change.
