The Lady Or the Beauty

Secrets Revealed Part 2 (2/2)

Christine's POV

As soon as I felt the contractions I knew I would possible get to see my baby girl. Before I will die... With every passing scream everything became a blur. But I kept my focus on breathing and on Erik. I knew I had to tell him. I had to there was no choice now. I may not be able to survive. In the carriage I tried supressing my cries. But every once in awhile I had to let it out.

I could practically feel Erik's heart breaking in sadness and in fear. I broke down the most feared man. The Phantom of the Opera, the Opera Ghost. I made him feel fear. I couldn't hold on much longer. With my hormones all out of wack I started saying things. Erik kept telling me to breath. Just breath... easer said than done.

"Erik... I can't...." I said not being able to finish the sentence. So I gripped his arm.

"Yes you can. You've done this before. Just breath." Oh gosh I've done this before?! Burying my head in his chest I screamed out in pain. Thanking God his clothes covered my screaming. We soon arrive there and and I was set down in a bed. Erik was helping me feel comfortable when the doctor came in and told us the most horrible news.

"Sir, we are going to need you to leave." I gasped and kept shaking my head. This cannot happen! We are married! They have to let the husband stay! Pulling Erik to me I kissed him deeply one last time before he was forcefully pulled away.

"NO!!!!!!" I shouted after him and tried reaching out. Being pushed back I felt another contraction as Erik screamed my name. "I love you!" I shouted to him. Thinking this was the last time I would ever feel his lips on mine or seeing his beautiful face. Or anything. But I had to focus on the child. I needed this child to survive. Suddenly I realized something. I felt two bumps and not just one. Oh my God... Twins!?

Two hours later.

"Christine you can do this!" The Doctor said to me as I tried pushing out the first child. I then heard the cry of a small baby. I smiled weakly and in pain as the doctor said it was a girl. Erik and I have talked names before. Our little Sierra.... I thought. Then screamed again as I felt another child wanting to come out. With all I gave it I pushed hard and faintly heard another scream and the doctor saying it was a boy. Hadley.... I realized the voices and noises kept getting farther and farther away. Then I realized it was me. Darkness consumed me.

Meg's POV

I raced to the hospital as soon as I heard the news. Now I was pacing back and forth. Nadir was trying to get me to sit down.

"Nadir I can't... Christine is...." He stood up and grabbed my cheeks wiping away a tear with his thumb. I then held him and started crying more and more. I couldn't let Raoul have the child... he cant. I won't let that happen. Soon we didn't hear screaming or anything. I got worried and the doctor came out.

Erik's POV

"What is it?!" I say gripping the doctor by the collar. Fear flooded his eyes then I set him back down and stared at him impatiently.

"You also have a healthy baby boy. You both had twins." He half smiled. A girl and a boy... fraternal twins... I smiled and held my heart for joy.

"But what about Christine?"

"Your wife..." He sighed. Oh no... Oh please God no... "She's not going to make it. She has tuberculosis."

"What?" I froze and turned around at the familiar name.

"Raoul?" He stood there frozen. "Get. Out." I say and growled.

Meg's POV

I stood in front of Nadir and Erik. "Raoul.... I do not care if you kill me. But you will not get Christine's children... I will not allow it-"
