Hello, all! This is just an idea that's been swimming around in my head for
a couple of days now, ever since I watched "The Mummy" and "The Mummy
Returns" at a friend's house on Friday. Right after Evy, Jonathan, and Rick
get back from Hamunaptra, big surprises begin to happen. (Slightly AU)
Disclaimer: I don't own Rick, Jonathan, Evy, Ardeth or any other characters you might recognize from "The Mummy". I do own Cleopatra and Chelsea.
London, 1924
Jonathan looked up from his newspaper as his baby sister, Evy, and Evy's new husband, Rick O'Connell, came down the stairs of Evy and Jonathan's childhood home, the recently renamed O'Connell Manor. Evy's and Rick's faces were flushed, their hair was mussed, and they were both wearing robes as opposed to clothing. It wasn't difficult to figure out what they had been doing.
"Honestly, you'd think after 2 and a half months they would be able to keep their hands off of each other for more than five seconds" Jonathan muttered to himself. Shaking his head, he got up and joined them in the kitchen for a snack.
Rick and Evy, meanwhile, were making peanut butter sandwiches in the kitchen.
"Rick? Do we have any pickles?"
"Pickles? What do you want those for?"
"I want to put them on my sandwich."
Rick and Jonathan made disgusted faces.
"I thought you didn't like pickles, Old Mum" said Jonathan, looking at his baby sister strangely.
"Oh, for goodness sake! I can't even get a few damn pickles to put on my sandwich without everybody making such a big deal out of it!" Evelyn burst into tears.
"Shhh, it's OK Evy, I didn't mean to make a big deal out of it." Rick pulled a jar of pickles out of the refrigerator while he comforted his wife.
Evy hiccupped. "I'm sorry, I don't know what's gotten into me lately" she said, looking at her husband, who had a concerned look on his face.
"Now let's take these sandwiches back upstairs, shall we?"
"Mmmm. Sounds good to me" Rick said, following his wife up the stairs.
Jonathan sighed and shook his head. "Newlyweds."
The next morning, Evy rolled out of bed and rushed into the bathroom, her hands over her mouth. Rick woke up to the sounds of her retching, and immediately got out of bed to check on her.
"Go away, Rick" Evy said tiredly when he knocked on the door.
Rick opened the door anyway. He held back her hair and rubbed her back while she emptied her stomach.
"I told you you shouldn't have had that sandwich."
Evy tiredly started her bath. The nausea was gone, but she still didn't feel one hundred per cent and as much as she longed to get back in bed with her new husband, today was her first day at the British Museum. She was to be in charge of their new Egyptian wing, fitting since a good portion of the stuff in that wing had come from Hamunaptra. The Museum had paid one hundred thousand pounds for the artifacts, nearly doubling the O'Connell's fortune. The other million pounds that they had came from the will of Evy's mother and father.
Five days later
Evy sighed and rolled out of bed. Today was her fifth straight day of being sick, and she had an appointment to see a doctor on her lunch break. Rick, who was extremely concerned by now about his wife's health, had insisted she make the appointment. Evy had reluctantly complied. She hated doctors.
By the end of the day, however, Evy was flying high. She and Rick were going to be parents!
"Evy?" Rick's voice came through the doorway to the kitchen.
"In here, sweetheart!"
Rick walked in and gave Evy a quick kiss on the lips. "How was the doc's visit?"
"Rick, I have something-" Evelyn broke off as Jonathan walked into the room.
"I say Old Mum, what's for dinner?"
"Pot Roast and vegetables" Evy replied, sighing inwardly. She had been hoping Jonathan would be gone for dinner, so that she could tell Rick on her own. As luck would have it, Jonathan did not like pot roast and he decided to get his dinner elsewhere.
Once the table was set and Evy and Rick were seated and served, Evy took a deep breath.
"Rick-"
"Something wrong, Evy?" Rick asked, concerned.
"No, at least I don't think so. Rick-" Evy took a deep breath- "I'm pregnant."
"What? Pregnant?"
"Yes. We're going to be parents!"
Rick grabbed Evy and gave her a huge hug and kiss.
"I'm gonna be a father!"
Evy laughed along with her husband. "Yes, you are."
Right. That's all for now, folks. The story gets better, I promise! Review and I'll put up the next chappy soon!
