Christine and erik have been in new york for about 3 months, christine has been puuting the apartment together and maing it look homely, Erik brought the whole apartment block which was abandoned, looking over an abandoned park, they enjoyed the peace and quite so they wouldnt be disturbed, christine was happy as she had something to do she started to clean the whole block and wanted to decorate it, while erik eventually buys the park he will be turning it into a them/show park and call it phantasma, but since they have been in new york Christine hasnt been well and Erik becomes worried.

ERIKS POV:

im becoming worried about christine she barely eats and everything she does eat she throws back up, she has put on a couple of pounds which i dont care of course but its worrying "dont worry Erik i have made an appointment today with doctor smith" christine says as she new i was worried "its proberly just a bug" she added i just nodded in agreement but i knew it was something more than a bug, "okay, do you want me to come with you" i replied "no, no you have meetings and phantasma to think about ill be fine, i promise" she assures me "okay my angel" i whispered im kinda glad im not going with her, for im going to propose to her i have it all planned out, i brought the ring last week, and i have a dozen of roses and rose petals i know im not really a romatic gut but this has to be speical for her. Christine then climbs out of bed to get dressed i glance over my shoulder to see her bare back and she catches me in her mirror, "see anything you like" she asks i feel myslef blush in embaressment "erm yes i see a beautiful angel in front of me" i replied back and she chuckled and continued to get dressed i stayed in my pajamas as i dont have to leave until 12:00 so i get to the dinning room and christine is already cooking my breakfast and is out of the door.

CHRISTINES POV:
i get into the doctors office and walk up to the desk "how can i helo you " the lady asks Eoh yes i have made an appointment with doctor smith im under Daae" i replied i used my own name as i know people in new york havent heard of me "ah yes please take a seat the doctor will be with you shotly" she says pointing over to the busy waiting room.as i sat down i became nervous wondering what was wrong with me,"MS Daae" a mans voice called out i stood up and walked to him he was very tall a little intimedating not as much as erik but still "hello im doctor smith come take a seatE he instucted and pointed to the paitent bed in his room he greated me with a warm smile which made me feel a little bit better,he asked me wat was the matter so i told him my symptons "well i can never keep food down, but yet im gaining weight" "hmm, mmm" he replies and tells me to lay down on my bed to examine my stomach. pure shock was on his face anf i became nervous ans started to well up, "well miss Daae, your with child" he says with a little disapointment in his voice he looked at me with pity in his eyes but all i could do was smile "pregnant, oh Erik will be pleased" i said "oh so you and the father are together" he asked i replied quite annoyed "yes, and no we are not married but i know when he hears the news he would want ot do the right thing and mary me" "are you sure madam, i have seen young girls lie you and that doesnt always work out" he replied "Erik isnt like that he loves me for goodness sake and before you insult my child for being a bastard i will bid you good day" i snapped leaving the room.

"how am i going to tell Erik this will he be happy? i know he will stay by my side well at least i hope i know he will worry for the child for it could have his deformaty which i dont care about," i thought to myself but then i was just too happy im pregnant im going to have a family it is what i have always wanted, so i decided to take a stroll on the beach and i sung angel of music out loud in french of course and i had wierd looks but i didnt care, i eventually got home i got to the door to see a note taped on it reading 

follow the rose petals

so i opened the door and saw rose petals on the floor leading to our room i was oblvious to whats happening i shut the door and walked into our room to find Erik standing in the corner wth the most beautiful bouqet of red roses, "christine" he mumbles while a tear cross down his face he didnt wear the mask when he is inside because i hate when he wears it it makes him look fake, he puts out his hand so i walk over to him and take his hand he puts the bouqet on the bed and says "christine i have loved you from the moment i first saw you, and i know i dont deserve you all that i did to you last year, but i am a changed person and thats because of you, Christine Daae will you do me the honour of becoming mrs Christine Destler" he kneels down on his knee and pulls out a blck velvet box when he opens it i saw the most gorgous rng quite like the one erik forced me to wear last year but better "oh Erik yes a thousand times yes" i cry he lifts me up and kisses me gently. "wait erik theres something i need to tell you" i quickly rememebered my news "what is it angel" he replies " know wat is wrong wth me" i say with an emotionless face he becomes worred and sts on the bed with fear n hs eyes "whats wrong my dear" he whispers thnking it was bad news "im pregnant"

ERIKS POV:

"m pregnant" she say relive is struck over my body i thought she was going to say she was dying but then the new sunk in and i realised wat she sad "im going to be a father" i asked and she nodded tears started to brimm in our eyes and i kssed her lips and then he stomach "how far gone" i asked "about three months the doctor said j should start to show anythime now" oh i am pleased i cant believe i am soon to have a wife and child "Christine when do you want to get married, do you want to do it before or after the baby" i asked her "hows next tuesday" she joked "tuesday the 19th may it sounds perfect" i replied she looked up at me and smiled this time next week she will be my brde.
