When Sarah is visited by the mysterious Phantom, what is she to do? Based on the most recent Phantom movie. RxC, PhantomxOC, OCxOC. Rated T, just to be safe. First Phantom story, so be nice.

Genre: Romance/Drama

Rating: T

CHAPTER ONE

Raoul de Chagny sat by his wife's side, squeezing her hand as a contraction seared through her. Raoul kissed the top of Christine's head, stroking her curly brown hair.

What seemed like an eternity later, the couple's first daughter, Sarah Christine de Chagny was born. Ten minutes later, her sister, Rebecca Margaret de Chagny followed.

"They're beautiful." Raoul whispered as the midwife cleaned both babies before handing them to Christine. Raoul held one infant while Christine nursed the other one.

"How are we to tell them apart?" Raoul asked.

"She has brown hair, like me, so she must be Sarah." Christine reasoned, smiling down at her daughter. Sarah continued to nurse as Rebecca slept in Raoul's arms.

The couple had visitors throughout the day – Madame Giry, Meg de Jean (she was expecting any day now), Firmin, Andre and Carlotta. Carlotta's visit surprised both Raoul and Christine.

Once the visitors had cleared, Christine laid back on the pillows. Raoul put the sleeping babies in their cradles and held Christine's hand while she slept, letting her know that he loved her more than anything in the entire world.

Raoul ended up sleeping with Christine, seeing as Madame Giry had decided to help the couple in the first two weeks with the babies.

"Love me, that's all I ask of you." Raoul whispered in Christine's ear, stroking her jaw line as she slept. Christine smiled in her sleep, knowing that her wonderful husband and wonderful daughters would be with her, no matter what.

The next morning, Christine woke up and found herself alone in bed. She looked around and heard Raoul singing All I Ask Of You to their daughters. He looked over at Christine and smiled at her.

"How are you feeling?" Raoul asked, sitting down next to Christine and took her in his strong arms. Christine kissed him passionately and sat up in bed. Raoul climbed on top of her and unlaced her nightgown, his hands gently encircling her back. Christine untucked his poet shirt and lifted it off of his head, kissing his bare chest.

Ten minutes later, both of them were unclothed and under the covers, kissing each other's skin. Raoul's hands went to Christine's rounded breasts, gently squeezing the nipple. She winced, so Raoul went to explore other parts of Christine. He brought his head down and covered Christine's neck in kisses. Christine was kissing Raoul with so much passion, that she almost forgot her twins, who were crying loudly.

"I'll get them." Raoul announced, quickly getting dressed before going over to his daughters. He brought them both over to Christine who instantly nursed both of them.

"Now our family is complete." Christine whispered, watching her daughters nurse. Raoul smiled and sat behind Christine, his hands wrapping around her naked waist, drawing her closer to him. Christine looked over her shoulder and kissed her husband's sweet lips, taking in his flavor.

"I love you." She whispered, putting on some clothes while her daughters slept.

"I love you, too." Raoul whispered back, helping Christine put on her clothes.

Two months later, Christine was in bed, sicker than she had ever been. She was hot one minute, cold the next. She also had a rapid heartbeat that reminded Raoul of a frightened rabbit. She also wouldn't eat or sleep, which worried Raoul. He stayed with her for as long as he could. He loved her so much and wouldn't know what to do if she was taken from him.

It turned out that Christine had Scarlet Fever, so Raoul needed to get the babies out of the house as soon as possible. He put his daughters and himself into a carriage and headed to the one place where he could raise them in safety – the Paris Opera House.

Meg and her son – Raphael – were living at the Opera House as well, so Raoul didn't have to worry about finding a babysitter. Meg and Raphael were living in the ballet dormitories and she told Raoul that he was more than welcome to stay there as well.

As his daughters grew, Raoul noticed the differences between them – Rebecca was sweet, personable, wonderful, graceful and looked exactly like Raoul. Sarah, however, was very shy, but sweet, had a beautiful voice and looked exactly like Christine. Raoul loved his daughters the same and they seemed to love to each other as well.

When his daughters turned sixteen, Raoul let them choose what they wanted to do – Sarah sang and Rebecca danced. Raphael – Meg's son – followed Rebecca wherever she went and they ended up falling in love with each other.

Little did Sarah know that she would soon find love as well.
