In The End

My Angel

Erik's POV

My angel is home. It was painful without her. Aiden would not stop crying, Everleigh wouldn't sleep, and Gustave wasn't eating. It was painful to watch. I hate seeing my kids hurt. Now they were all asleep on the bed with Christine. That Clara girl went to the spare bedroom after I showed her the office. She really likes my music. So here I am, trying to find a spot on the bed, and I can't. Christine and Gustave are making sure the twins don't fall off the bed by making a little circle around them leaving no room for me. Luckily, I have a chair in the room that I will sleep on. It seems as soon as I sit down, I fall asleep. I wake up to Christine shaking me.

"What is it mon ange?" I mumble half asleep.

"It's almost 11 in the morning and you are still asleep." She replies. My eyes go wide and I shoot up.

"What!?!? The park was supposed to be open an hour.........you little vixen, you tricked me." I say before seeing the children still asleep. She starts giggling and runs out of the room. I follow and catch her halfway down the stairs.

"That wasn't very nice mon ange." I whisper in her ear.

"Only for you Erik." She shivers. "I missed your voice so much."

I smile and turn her around.

"I missed you period." I tell her. She kisses me and I kiss back. I hear a scoff from behind us. Phillipe.

''Phillipe you need to leave before I hurt you." I growl. He just stands there and laughs. Christine is cowering behind me. She hasn't felt the gun, in its holster, on my back. I reach back for it making it seem I'm reaching for Christine. Phillipe doesn't even notice. He too transfixed on looking at Christine in just her slip and corset. I grab the gun and point it at Phillipe. His eyes go wide in fear.

"I suggest you get out of here before I shoot you." I growl again. He starts to back up, into my net that will send him flying, capturing him. I feel Christine start shaking.

"Now would be nice." I say pulling the hammer back. He runs right into it and screams as it goes up.

"You have a really girly scream Phillipe." Christine laughs. I laugh with her. Phillipe is yelling at us, not caring that Christine is just in her slip and corset anymore.

"You Monsieur, are going to be locked away forever." I say and he stops yelling. He looks at us, in fear.

"Do you think he'll be able to stand a night in jail Christine?" I ask her

"I don't think he will Erik." She replies smoothly.

"We'll just have to figure out won't we?"

"Yes. I'll call them." She says before walking off and grabbing the phone. She calls the police and they pick Phillipe up within the hour.

"This man will never bother you or your family ma'am." The officer says before closing the door. Christine had been under my arm the entire time.

"Mon Ange. We can be free. He can't get us anymore." I say, squeezing her arm. She nods and looks at me.

"I love you Erik Destler."

"I love you too Christine Daaé Destler." I tell her before kissing her.
