Hey guys! I'm rewriting and editing this fanfiction, so I hope you enjoy!
The last day of Ahk and Jewel's honeymoon came as quickly as they landed in Egypt. For their time in the country, the pharaoh had shown his new wife all his home had to offer. Each sight came with a story that he had been excited to tell. Jewel had listened with a full heart, her mind from the Pyramids, to the sand under their feet, to other ideas that swarmed around. But Ahk knew, even with the good sights, he had to enter his wife into the other side of his life that he dreaded the most.
"Can I take it off now?" Jewel begged to her husband, who had the blindfold placed gently around her eyes.
"This is a surprise," he said, holding her hand as they walked," a place that I can trust you to see."
He took a deep breath as he dropped her blindfold, her reaction unknown to himself.
"What do you think?" He asked her, smiling.
Jewel looked around the world before her. They stood on a cliff where the sun peeked over the pyramids. It was beautiful, the golden sand glimmering as if the desert were made of riches. The world seemed to stop as Jewel's smile shined upon the cliff. She turned to her husband,her compliments full of affection and pure admiration. As she babbled on, Ahkmenrah stared over, smile slowly fading as many thoughts came to his head. And his wife noticed immediately. Her own smile dropped.
"Ahk?" she asked," what's wrong?"
The pharaoh, with tears in his eyes, took her hands close to his heart. He knew he could no longer keep old secrets to himself. He caught her gaze, his breath held.
"This is a place for mourning, Juliet," he said," this place...is where my death had occurred. On the night before my crowning, my brother Kahmunrah.."
Thoughts of betrayal filled his head. He remembered his brother telling him how proud he was of ruling over the kingdom. The look in his eyes as he told him what a wonderful man he was becoming, then he stabbed him. Kahmunrah shushed Ahk as his eyes began to close slowly. The last sight he saw was his eldest brother's smiling face as blood spilled from his wounds.
Ahkmenrah couldn't help but cry. His memories began to get worse.
"Ahk, dear," Jewel said, holding him from behind," maybe I should wait to tell you-"
"What is it, Juliet?" he immediately asked, looking in her eyes.
A feeling washed over her as his eyes met hers. For their honeymoon in Egypt, things were amazing. And they'd be going home with more baggage than they bargained for.
"Our honeymoon has been great," she said," our lives have changed forever and-it makes me happy to have you in my life. And I love you so much. I need you here and want to stay with me forever. Also, i've got to tell you a little secret."
Jewel leaned in, whispering the happy words softly into his ear. Ahkmenrah, confused for a second, realized wha his wife meant by her six little words. His eyes lit up, looking at her with a smile on his face.
"Really?" he asked, seeing her nod and getting extremely excited," does anyone else know?"
"You and I are the only ones that know," she whispered in his ear
Ahkmenrah felt tears of joy trickle down his cheeks. He could not believe such a secret! He quickly knelt beside her stomach and leaned against it. He began to talk to her stomach, whispering softly and speaking the happiest of words. Jewel laughed and ran a hand through his curly hair.
"I'm only four weeks pregnant, Ahk," she said," the baby won't be able to move until a few weeks."
That didn't stop her husband from his absolute excitement. He hugged her tightly, his smile brighter than the sun. Great news finally came his way on that little cliff so many years after his passing. They couldn't wait to tell everyone the news of a new addition to the family.
