A Song In The Dark

Soon to Come

Ada plopped on the bed when they got to the apartment. "I am exhausted." She complained with a sigh.
"Rest as long as you need."
"I think I can sleep a weak." She sighed pulling on her nightgown and crawling under the blanket. "Could you play me to sleep?" She asked rolling over to face her husband. Erik nodded and grabbed the violin, he quickly tuned it and began playing a soft quiet song. Within moments Ada was asleep.

She slept a slight snore escaping her. Eventually he turned the lamp off and climbed into bed himself wrapping her up in his arms. Ada seemed to toss and turn all night moaning and talking in her sleep. Erik was worried praying that she was not sick he stayed awake all night rubbing her back And singing her songs. She soon slept more peaceful letting Erik relax a bit.

Asa's eyes fluttered open as the Rays of morning sun lit up the room and warmed her face. She smiled and curled closer to Erik "how are you feeling?" Erik asked her rubbing his hand on her back.
"A little better. My stomach hurts still."
"We will go to the doctor as soon as you feel ready." Ada nodded snuggling down deeper in the blanket.
Erik pulled the blanket up on his shoulders to try and sleep a moment.

Ada sat up suddenly straddling Erik sitting on his hips her hands in his chest. "Can we go get a donut?" Ada begged rubbing his chest.
"Now?" Erik moaned as she kissed him softly.
Ada nodded jumping up and getting dressed. Erik groaned getting up himself.

Ada nearly skipped to the bakery they ordered and sat down. Ada had a chocolate covered donut and Erik had a plain muffin. "That hit the spot Ada sighed leaning back." After she finished her breakfast.

"I swear you are acting really weird. Now let's go." Erik laughed pulling Ada's chair out.
They made their way around town looking for the doctor. When they got to there destination Erik opened the door letting Ada in they were greeted by a short French grey haired man, "hello I'm Dr. Smith."

"Erik Y and my wife Ada."
"Are you two new in town?" The man asked leading them into the examining room. "Yes we just arrived yesterday from France, but my wife has been sick." Erik explained.

"Would you mind stepping out Mr. Y?"
Erik looked to Ada who nodded assuring that she was ok. "I will meet you at the Giry's." Ada stated. Erik felt guilty for leaving her but he didn't want to interfere with the doctors work. So alone, he went to the Giry's.

He knocked in the back door of the opera house. "Erik, come in." Madam Giry insisted as she opened the door. "Would you like some tea?" She asked leading him to the kitchen. "Uh no thank you, I was hoping to have a look around."
"Of course, I have to go to town Meg would be happy to show you the place."

Erik accepted and madame Giry called her daughter. "Meg would you show Mr. Y around?"
Meg nodded in excitement and began her tour. The architecture was amazing designed like the Paris opera house. All the decorations and statues were removed but Erik could replace them. "I'm sorry there is no underground lair or lake." Meg joked.
Erik snickered as they continued the tour. Leading him upstairs, "here is the managers offices. There are 10 rooms that can be rented out each one can fit about seven beds." Meg explained. The backstage has four dressing rooms that are much more spacious than the populaire." Meg told him showing him each room.

"I have to admit, I'm surprised you are not the prima ballerina." Erik said as they finished their tour. "You had a bright future."

"You think so!" Meg gasped her blue eyes lighting up. "You mean you actually watched me."

Erik blushed at her excitement, "I watched everything figuring out where each member belonged."
"I still want to be a ballerina," Meg sighed "that's why we came to this country but that dream was shattered when the owner abandoned the place."
"Well maybe not."Erik smiled.

Madam Giry came through the door with Ada following her. Both of the women were glowing. Erik jumped up rushing past madam Giry and to his wife panic flooding his sea blue eyes. "What did he say?" Erik gasped praying he was wrong and she wasn't sick. Ada glanced at madame Giry who turned around to say something to Meg. "Well I'll be sick for 9 months but I will be fine after that."

"NINE MONTHS! The damned doctor couldn't help you did he give you something?." Erik growled his heart pounding as he racked his brain trying to think of what was wrong.

"I'll feel better once the baby comes."

"Once the baby... BABY!"

Ada kept into her husbands arms, "Erik I'm pregnant."
Erik stood in shock his mouth dropped open, "baby!" He whispered tears forming in his eyes. "We're going to have a baby!" Erik opened his arms to hug her but quickly put them down. "Will I hurt it?"
Ada laughed "no angel it is safe." Erik took her up in his arms kissing her. "Oh Ada!" Erik cried looking at her belly.
