Night At The Museum:Ahkmenrah's Undying Love

Chapter 6

The next morning was hectic, woke up late again and I almost burnt down my apartment. The tingles from our kiss last night burned my lips when I thought about it, it distracted me from making breakfast. The toast ended up being burnt, sadly it was the last of my bread for the moment so I had to butter it up with lots and lots of butter. it screamed DIABETES.

I called the dance company to tell them I would be super late today as I stumbled around the place looking for clothes. I really need to not kiss him if this will happen every time. After making my bed and picking up around the house I locked the door and headed to my truck. It was a black Chevy pick up, make and model I have no clue. I just know a lot of people love it so I bought it.

I quickly parked my truck and grabbed my bag. I saw the delivery truck and immediately smiled. the uniforms were here. "Here, I'll sign it." the UPS man gave me a toothy grin he started unloading the truck while his partner rolled them in. One...two...three...four...five...six and many more boxes came rolling in. Inside the studio a very busy looking Emily was rushing about, "Em here hand me Cason." she just became a mother three months ago. This was her first month back, I've been taking over Emily LeCulre Dance Company(ELDC for short) "Thank you soooo much Nat, he has been crying for three hours now. I don't know what's wrong, I fed him, changed him, made sure he wasn't too hot or cold." I nodded as Cason was placed into my arms, his face was tear streaked as his cries of pain and discomfort rang out.

"Did you burp him after you fed him?" She cursed under her breath shaking her head."He is going to be like this for a while longer won't he?" I nodded mournfully. I rubbed his back a little as I leaned him up against my chest, my rubbing turned into hard thuds against his back trying to burp him. Soon a manly burp came from his lips. "Oh! There's a boy, good job." I placed him in his portable crib and stuck a pacifier in his mouth before placing a sign on the door that said; Warning, baby sleeping. You wake, you pay the price. You have been warned...

Of course it was glittered up and had bows all over it, were girls it's what we do. "So, how bout we unpack those uniforms." We spent the next four hours unpacking, steaming, trimming and folding all the costumes. "So uh Nat, what do you have going on tonight?" I shrugged, then remembered that I promised Ahk that I would come back to him tonight.

"Umm, it depends. Why?" She looked at Cason, "I am going out tonight so I need someone to look after him. I would swing by your house the next morning to pick him up if you could. Please please please, I'll pay you $100 if you watch him."

I sighed, he is an easy baby, but I don't know how she would react by me taking him to the museum all night. "Okay, I'll watch him tonight. Don't worry, and you don't need to give me 100 bucks, that's too much money." We argued back and forth on how much money she would pay me, she won the argument.

----------------------------------------------

Okay, maybe I should rethink this, bringing a baby to a museum was maybe a bad idea. When I walked in and settled down in the Night Guard office with Cason he instantly started crying, "Cason, baby please stop crying." I unblocked him from his car seat and held his small body close to me. Soon after some calming whispers he settle down, his cries became soft whimpers.

"Hey Nat it's almost Sunset. I advise that you stay in here for a couple of minutes so that I can get Rexy settled in." I nodded opening my bag from Panera Bread Co. sitting down I dumped my dressing onto the salad before closing the lid and shaking it. Cason slept soundly, soon a loud roar erupted through the place. A few minutes later Nicky came in, "Hey, dad says it's okay to come out now. He is getting Ahk and the others out of their exhibit." I nodded grabbing the baby bag and placing Cason in my arms.

As we walked out to the lobby many people gave me smiles. Teddy was riding around with Wega behind her, "My God, Natasha I didn't know you had a child. What is this young strapping mans name?" I laughed a little, "Thank you Teddy but this isn't my child, I am babysitting him for a friend. His name is Cason by the way." We talked for a few minutes longer until I melted at the voice behind me, "I see the lady of Woodmere has returned as well." I smiled turning around to his lit up face.

However when he saw the child, the once lit up face fell into sadness. "I see you have a son, forgive me for causing any disrespect to you and your husband I assume." He turned and left without another word, maybe I should charge $150 for the extra drama. I sighed, "I'll be back, hold on." I ran, well speed walked, to Ahk's tomb. when I rounded the corner I saw Ahkemrah's back facing me, shoulder slump forward. And who could forget my favourite Anubis warriors? They stood at the door not letting anyone in, little fuckers.

"Here goes nothing." I mutter under my breath, holding Cason tightly against my chest I took a step in. Nothing, another two steps in, nothing.
I know Ahk told them not to harm me but I just couldn't trust them quite yet.

Finally I made my way to his side, "Ahk, is everything okay? Can I help you in any way?" His body went rigged as he spun around. His hard stare looked me up and down, his voice almost a shout. "I thought you said that you'd be mine. I gave you that necklace as a promise, and you broke that promise." Oh my god, he thought I had a husband. Is he getting a rude awaking, I balanced Cason in one arm as I placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Ahkmenrah, you have it all wrong. I am not married, engaged or even in a relationship for that matter. This isn't my child, this child's mother went out for the evening leaving me in care for him. He will be gone by tomorrow morning, I broke no promise of yours Ahkmenrah I swear to it." Before he could say anything Cason started crying again, sure enough it was dinner time for him. "Here, let me hold him while you get that." he offered softly. I smiled at him, I helped Ahk hold him properly as I slid the bag off my shoulders and grabbed the bottle and formula.

"Hold on Cason, it's coming, the food is coming." I shook the bottle before motioning to hand Cason over to me, "Thank you." I smiled, soon Cason was happily suckling on his bottle. "Did you ever have younger or older siblings in Egypt?" We sat down on the ground together, he sat right I front of me with our legs crosses. "I had only an older brother, he is someone I do not wish to speak about. I was our parents favourite, perhaps that is why I gained the throne instead of him. I was smarter and wiser and people also understood me better."

"How so?" He smiled a little, "Big brother had a lisp: mother said he was kicked in the head by a horse so hard that it rearranged his teeth causing the lisp." We suddenly started laughing at the silliness of the answer to the question. "I bet your mother teased the two of you when you were younger."

"Yes, she had a tendency to do that-a lot actually." We laughed again, by then Cason had finished his bottle, "Well you were hungry weren't you big boy?" I cooed, Ahk looked at me funny. "Natasha, he is only a baby. How do you expect him to respond to you?" I smiled, "I don't, hearing higher pitched cooing voices sound funny to the baby. By using a cooing like voice it encourages them to try to make the sound and then eventually say it in a word form. And it also makes him smile sometimes."

We spent the rest of our evening together talking, when Larry came in to say that it was about time for sunrise I felt sad. "Same place, same time tonight I guess." I told Ahk as I buckled a sleeping baby into the car seat. His hands circled my waist pulling my form against his, "I wish to spend every day with you Natasha, sadly we cannot. I wished I could have met you in Egypt, I would have made you my queen and we would have ruled all of Egypt together. Then maybe you could have been buried next to me, and we could be waking up to each other every night the tablet glows. "

I smiled leaning into him, "Me too Ahkmenrah, me too." he lifted my face with his forefinger. Slowly he placed kisses on my lips and cheeks before trailing down my neck. They grew hotter and harder, his hands tightened their grip, moving up and down my sides. "No, we mustn't, not yet at least." He quickly had recoil his hands and warm soft body from me. When he pulled away was when I remembered the hard member pushed against my lower belly.

"Uhhmm, goodnight Ahk. I will see you tomorrow then." With that I left the building quickly. Baby in hand I made my way back home for a much needed hot shower and warm bed.
