A/N- This is the first fanfic I have ever written and I haven't even figured out how to work the site properly yet. I'm just trying to make it work as I go on. So all help will be GREATLY appreciated.
Please review and tell me if I should upload more chapters or leave it as it is. A question in another fic inspired me. So this story went to the last page of my diary. And now, finally I have gathered enough courage to type it out for the world…
P.S. In my story Carter no rules full time as a Pharaoh from Egypt and Walt and Anubis share a body so they are mostly mentioned as Anubis/Walt but are singular(he/his).
So, here goes nothing! (Phew!)
Enjoy!"
Anubis and Walt both squirmed under Carter's unfailing gaze. They understood that their declaration must have come as a shock for him. They wished they could have done better. The scene kept replaying in Carter's head. Amos had informed him that Anubis/Walt requested an audience with him. He had wondered what it would be about. But NOTHING could have prepared him for the shock.
Anubis/Walt walked in and knelt at the foot of the stairs leading to the throne on which Carter sat (uncomfortably, I might add as he would never miss an opportunity to complain about it to Amos). Having been a Pharaoh for quite some time now, it did not shock him as it used to in the beginning though it hurt him more than he ever let on. But this was Walt! They had saved the world together! "Walt, you know you don't have to kneel", Carter sighed, "but what brings you here though?" he inquired. Anubis/Walt however did not rise but stammered, "My lord Pharaoh-" he began only to be stopped by the look of distaste on Carter's face at the title drop. They began again, "Um, Carter", he gulped. "I, um, we wanted to ask for your permission." He stared at the ground refusing to meet Carter's eyes. "What is it?" Carter probed. "We, um, wanted your permission to get married." Silence followed till Carter finally asked, "to whom? Anubis/Walt looked straight into Carter's eyes and said, "Sadie." Her name hung in the air. Carter's face turned to stone. After a while he finally asked, "Why do you ask me?" Anubis/Walt replied, "A servant must always request permission from his Pharaoh to get married." Carter was obviously about to say something about the 'servant' part but Anubis/Walt went on, "Especially if he want to marry the Pharaoh's sister. I cannot marry without your leave." Carter stared long and hard at him and then put forth a question, "Anubis, why do you ask for my permission. I have no hold over you. I don't even host Horus anymore. You are a God. You can do as you please." To this Anubis replied, "Walt and I are one. If he feels the need to ask for your permission then so do I." And with this he bowed his head waiting for Carter's edict. Carter realised his sister's future lay in his hands. Anubis/Walt had unknowingly been very smart. If he blessed this marriage, then Sadie would HAVE to marry. Anyone else's opinion did not matter. Sure Anubis would have to ask Osiris being his employee but it wouldn't make a difference because as a father Julius Kane was dead and Carter the Pharaoh. So Osiris would have no choice but to accept his decision.
He spoke slowly to make sure he was understood, "Walt Stone, host to Anubis, I, Carter Kane, Pharaoh of Egypt, give you permission to marry my sister or whomsoever you choose provided they agree of their own free choice." It was visible that a huge weight had been lifted off Anubis/Walt's shoulders. A fervent "thank you!" blew out. Carter got off his throne and walked down to Anubis/Walt. Still kneeling he shrunk back seeing Carter come towards him. But Carter would have none of this. He lifted Anubis/Walt up by his shoulders and pulled him into a hug and spoke into his ear, "Don't thank me yet, I've just thrown you to the wolves!" Anubis/Walt murmured under his breath, "One down, two to go." Carter couldn't help but laugh at that. The real test would be his sister. He was just waiting for her reaction. He was sure he would be able to hear it all the way till Egypt even if she didn't use a scrying bowl.
