"Gustave?" asked Jasmine. "Oh, mom it's horrible, horrible" freaked Gustave. "It's alright darling. You will go with Ms. Lesch back to the hotel. I'll have a word with Mr. Y" she told her son. "Come on Gustave," said Rachel. Gustave hold her hand and they left.  

"How could you think I wouldn't guess?" he yelled. "What do you mean?" Jasmine asked. "How could you think I wouldn't know?" Phantom asked again. "Oh, no" Jasmine realized. "Do you have something to confess?" he demanded. "Please don't make me" begged Jasmine. "I want the truth right now, if so" he yelled grabbing her neck. 

"Once upon another time...You went off and left me alone. But that's not all you did. You left me with our son" she started to explain. The Phantom let go. "Ever since that other time I wished, how I wished you'd have known. I kept the secret hid, the secret my marriage forbid. What else could I have done?" she asked. 

"Our son" the Phantom cried.  He just sobbed into her arms. 

Then he went down on his knees and started to beg. "Forgive me, I beg you, if you can. I've brought you nothing but woe." "Tomorrow night, I'll sing with all my might. Sing for you again, then we'll go" Jasmine told him as he went closed to him and touches his arm with great affection.  

"From out of ugliness, such light. From out of darkness, such a flame. In him, my wrongness is made right and yet he loathes me just the same" admit The Phantom. "So let him shun me in disgust. Let him flee this cursed face I have. If I must hide from him, I must. Yet shall he be my saving grace. For you, my Jasmine. If it's true, he's my reason to live. Then, Jasmine. then our boy shall have all I can give." 

"I know he will" responded Jasmine. "All I create on this earth. All that I'll never be worth. All shall be his" he promised. "You can have him in 8 years. In 8 years, he will be 18. Then he will be able to choose for himself if he wants a relationship with you or not" Jasmine told him. "8 more years?" the Phantom asked. "I will wait and until then you will sing for me one last time" he agreed. 

Christine left the Phantom alone after they gave each other one last kiss.

"Ten whole years, this is how I am repaid" pouted the Diva. "It has been 10 years since my love was murdered in the tragedy of the Paris Opera house. And now for everything I have worked for will go towards that brat! All my hopes that were at last in my grasp. All the dreams and the plans that I laid. Everything is vanishing. I have been discarded, rejected, and reviled. All of the bonds in between are now torn. All of the love that I gave him was worn. All would be mine if that bastard had never been born.
