Chapter 11
The day has finally come when we finally get off this boat. After the week and a half long journey to Coney Island, we are finally there. I can wait to start Erik's dream of building Phantasma and finally becoming a family with our baby on the way.
We are already done packing our things, so we just sit our room and finish planning our wedding. We decide to just do a quick little wedding at a small church that Erik had heard of. While planning, we agreed to not have a honeymoon, but to just use the money to start building Phantasma. Erik had his money from being the opera ghost at the Opera House and I still had money from when I was singing in the operas. The whole time we were planning the wedding, Erik couldn't stop smiling. Finally I couldn't take it anymore, "Why are you smiling so much," I asked.
He just kept smiling, "Because of two reasons, one I get to marry the woman who I love with all my heart and two because I have two wedding gifts for you."
"Erik, you spoil me so much," I say,"as long as I have you I'm happy." I look at him lovingly, to prove that I meant everything I said. Erik gently pecks my lips before saying,"I'm pretty sure that you'll like these presents though." He smiles as I playfully hit his arm,"Now you're just teasing."
Just then there is a knock on the door. Erik gets up and answers the door; Outside there is an employee standing there. "We are five minutes away from the docks and the captain would like everyone on the main deck," says the employee. "Okay we will be there in a minute," answers Erik. He closes the door and walks back over to me. He offers his hand and helps me stand. I'm only a week and a half pregnant, but treats me like I'm nine months.
We pick up our bags, but before I can open the door, Erik grabs my hand and turns me around so I am facing him. He leans in and gives a kiss before pullling away and saying,"I love you." I smile and say,"I love too." I turn back around and open the door and we head up to the main deck.
***********
We finally make it out of the crowd that surround the boat trying to find family or friends coming off the boats. Erik calls a cab and we get in. I hear Erik whisper an address to the driver and we start off. While the driver is driving us, I ask Erik,"Where are we going?"
He smiles,"To your first wedding presennt." I must have had a confused look on my face because he laughs. "You'll see it anytime now," he says. After about another five minutes, Erik taps me on the shoulder and points out of his window. I see a gorgeous white Victorian style house. The driver pulls up the driveway and we step out. Erik pays the driver and gets our bags from the cab.
I look back at Erik and ask,"Is this our house?" Erik smiles brightly," Yes it is."
I stare at the house in disbelief. "How were you able to get us a house here? You told me you've never been here before." "That's part of your second present," Erik says. I felt confused, when suddenly I hear the door open behind me.
"Christine!" I turn around to see who opened the door and called my name. I feel myself smile as I see the faces of my old friends. Madame Giry and Meg Giry.
