Behind the Curtain: A Moulin Rouge Fanfic.

Chapter 12: The Gender

Satine was standing in front of a big mirror that had been placed in her room only 5 months ago. Christian brought it so Satine could see her baby grow everyday. She was a lot bigger now. She felt like she was going to pop. The door to there room opened and Christian walked in. He had blankets and clothes in his hands. "Hello my beautiful princess." He said as he placed everything down on the bed. Satine had her hand over her stomach and was rubbing is gently. The baby every so often would kick.   

"Hello, what are all those?" Satine asked. 

"Clothes for the baby and also some more blankets. Just gonna put them in the cupboard for now" He said before folding the blankets up and putting them away. In the space of eight months a lot had changed. Not only had Satine gotten bigger but they had cleaned out there old room and replaced it with baby equipment. They tried to get anything in wherever they could. The cot, Satine's old one, was at the end of the bed. The cot had been decorated, a little surprise that Christian had done for Satine, there were now little dancers and crowns all over it. Around the cot were Satine's old teddies and stuffed toys whilst the rest of the toys were in a corner of the room, all arranged neatly. 

"Are you ready?" Christian said as Satine was trying to button up a shirt. It was one of Christian's, since Satine had gotten big her old clothes didn't fit, so Christian borrowed her his shirts, she sighed in frustration and a bit of her hair fell into her face. She groaned and Christian ran over to her. 

"Calm down, it's okay. I'll help you." He moved her hair out of her face and helped her button up the shirt. 

"Would you do me a Christian?" She asked

"Of course." He said. Looking up at her after buttoning up the last button.

"Would you grab me a bobble from the bathroom please? I want to keep my hair out of the way." Soon Satine's long ginger locks were put back into a pony tail.

"Now are you ready?" Christian asked for the second time.

"Yes, I think so. I'm nervous and excited. Today the doctor will finally tell us what gender our little star is." She said put a hand over her stomach again to feel the baby kick her.

"I think someone else wants to find out to." Christian laughed and kissed her.

After there argument and Satine finding out that Harold was her true father Satine and Christian had never been happier. The last few months had been amazing, Satine was going to miss the bump when it finally vanished but she also knew that it would be replaced by a little gem that would fill her life with endless happiness. She couldn't wait! She also knew that her and Christian were leaving finding out the gender of the baby a little late but they were just so occupied with preparing for the baby. 

Soon they were outside the doctors room. It had taken them quiet a while to get there as Christian was taking his time and making sure Satine was alright with every single step she took. It soon got to the point where Satine said "Christian if you ask me how I am one more time I will turn around and go back home." He never asked again. So stood outside the doctors room, hand in hand, Christian knocked on. Soon they would know. 

"Come in." The doctors voice rang from the other side of the wooden door. The room was tider than the last time Christian came all those months ago. They both sat down in chairs, Christian fussing over Satine as he helped her, and then smiled at the doctor. "Right, I have gotten the results here." About a month ago Satine and Christian got Ziddler to drive them into town to go to the doctors there so Satine could do some tests and get the results for the baby. Now a month later they were going to find out what they were having. 

"Wait!" Someone came bursting through the door to the doctors room. "Wait! Did you tell them yet?" It was Ziddler, he looked very hot and sweaty. 

"No, not yet why?" The doctor asked. 

"Because... I want to be here... When you tell them." Harold said between breathing deeply. I ran all the way over here, there was a problem but Marie has taken care of it. I completly lost track of time, I am just glad I am not late." Ziddler walked over to Satine and put a hand on her shoulder, smiling down at her before looking back up and the doctor. 

"Okay, well firstly your baby is healthy and everything looks okay. Now for the news you wanted..." Christian grabbed Satine's hand. He was so excited! The doctor paused for about a second but it seemed like hours were going by. "Your baby is going to be..." The pause again. "A girl. Congratulations!" Satine yelled and started to cry and Christian hugged her straight away.

"Oh my god! We are gonna have a little baby girl Christian." Satine said before wiping her tears away. Christian then put a hand on her stomach before saying

"I'm sure she will look as beautiful as her mother." And then kissed her. Harold then hugged them both and congratulated them both. About fifteen minutes later, Christian and Satine were leaving the doctors office. "Thank you so much doctor, so much!" Christian said before leaving. He still couldn't believe he was going to have a little girl, a princess, and she was healthy. It made him swell with pride and happiness. Satine was still glowing and had a huge smile on her face. She was as happy as ever. It was one of the best and happiest feelings she had ever had!
