After The Phantom

Chapter 6: Wandering Child

9 months later....

I don't know how long it's been I just know I have to get this baby out. My baby, Erik's baby. I let out a huge scream, I was drowning in sweat and exhaustion. Raoul is'nt even here he desided not to be in the room instead he waited outside if it was Erik he would break down the door.
I let out another scream and finally after 10 long hours my baby was here!

I heard the most beautiful cry it was almost like singing. "It's a boy, you have a son" the maid said. She handed him to me. He had the most beautiful face he stoped crying and looked at me he had the darkest brown eyes. Erik's eyes. My little Gustave. Raoul came in with the biggest smile he kissed me and looked at my son. I feel ashamed but I don't regret what I've done my baby is not to blame it's all on me.

"He is beautiful what should we call him?"

"Gustave Erik Daaé Chaney"

"A good name were is Erik from?"

I hesitated at first "just a name I found in a news paper" another lie. Raoul took Gustave and held him gently in his arms. "I have a son, my son" he kissed his forehead and put him down in his crib probably to give us both some rest.
He came back at my side and kissed my hand. "I love you Lotte" he whispered.
"I love you too" and I do of course I love my husband just not as much as I had hoped. I started to drift of to sleep and I heard his voice in my head.

Wandering child
So lost so helpless
Yearning for my gaidence
I am your angel of music
Come to me angel of music...
