Second Cousins and Old Relatives

Summary: Imhotep has a child before he meets Ank-su-namun. She ends up being reincarnated as Evie and Jonathon's second cousin (on their mother's side) whom they happen to be in charge of caring for when they go to Hamenaptra with Rick. How crazy can this possibly make things turn out? Well, I don't know, but I expect we'll find out soon enough . . . (cue some dramatic music and lighting, grab some edibles and enjoy!)

Disclaimer: I own nothing that seems familiar (i.e. The Mummy)

Sally was in the Egyptian section of the museum reading when Jonathon walked in. She felt comfortable in her chair so she didn't move right away. She watched him curiously as he fiddled with something in his pocket.

It was obviously very old and very Egyptian; her cousin (well second cousin) was usually bringing artifacts for his sister Evelyn to look at for him. Sally was often known to keep some of the artifacts for herself. So she figured it was worth losing her comfortable position for a new trinket.

"Hey what's that?" the six year old girl practically skipped up to him with her long black hair flouncing around behind her. He handed the puzzle box to her. Before she could really inspect it they heard a crash from the library and a raised voice. It obviously belonged to a rather annoyed curator. Then they heard Evie's voice.

"That explains a lot." Jonathon joked. Sally went back to examining the box and she saw how to open it, but decided to milk this situation for all it was worth. This was too cool to end up on a shelf collecting dust.

"Can I have it?" The girl had rather large blue eyes that were perfect for looking sweet, innocent, and all that jazz. Jonathon wasn't going to let go of it that easy, yet.

"I want Evelyn to look at it first, Sally." Her eyes got bigger and her lip started to poke out a bit more.

"You always give me Evie's leftovers! Never get my own stuff," Jonathon could see tears forming, weakening his resolve. "Don't you love me too?" right now anyone would think he had crushed her.

"Well I, . . ." he tried to explain, but she started to leave with that hurt expression on her face "oh, alright, you can have it." He knew he had lost another round to the six year old, but she was just so hard to say no to. Her face lit up, but she managed to contain her glee enough to make it believable.

"Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!" She lost control and glomped him. It actually made it worthwhile for him. Well, at least until she sat down on the floor with her new toy and snapped it open. Now it was his eyes that got big.

"Sally!"He was shocked that she had figured it out. She smiled sheepishly at him after unfolding the parchment inside.

"You can have the picture if you want." She held it out in truce.

This is where Evelyn walked in and seeing the two of them. She shook her head and smiled as Jonathon handed her the map. She was looking it over with astonishment. Sally cut into her reverie.

"Look at the bottom, it's Hamenaptra!"

"How did you know that?" It was Evie's turn to look shocked at the young girl. Sally ran back to her chair and got the small book she'd been absorbed in.

"See right there?" She pointed to one of the many pictures in the book. It was a picture of the same symbol found in the corner of the map, and it said underneath in bold print 'Hamenaptra.'

A/N: I have edited a few parts of the story to make a few things clearer, but I haven't changed the plot or anything major. If you've read this before, you might notice a few tweaks to later chapters as well as this one.
