(Disclaimer. I do not own Night at the museum, Jed or Octy but I do own Alexia. I made her up. So enjoy!!)
A year later..
"J-Jedediah!"
Octavius called out loudly from his bed chambers. Jedediah who wasn't far from their room came bursting in.
"Whats wrong?! Did something happen? Alex ain't hurt is she?"
The General had a big grin on his face and pointed to Alexia who was standing up, supporting herself by holding onto a chair and was slowly stepping away from it.
Jed returned the smile and slowly knelt of front of Alexia with his arms out stretched.
"Come on baby girl, you know you wanna walk to Pa."
Octavius feeling a little competitive got on the other side and stretched his arms out.
"I think she want's to come to Father, come on Alexia."
"Father? Really? Must ya be so formal around ya kid?"
Alexia gave both men a big toothy grin as they started to bicker, both not really noticing her letting go of the chair and stand on her own.
"She happens to be the daughter of a Roman General if you did not notice Jedediah, I do plan on giving her the best education, that includes not talking like a.. a barbarian."
"Barbarian?!"
Jed faked a hurt look, Octavius stuttered and tried to correct himself.
"A handsome barbarian!"
"That's more like it"
Octavius rolled his eyes and started making funny noises catching Alexia's attention, slowly she started to move towards him. Jed grinned and pulled out a small stuffed dog and started shaking it causing the small bell around its neck to jingle loudly.
"Hey Alex what's pa got?"
Alexia turned around and immediately moved for her favorite toy, cooing all the while.
"Hey that's cheating!"
Scooping his daughter in his arms Jedediah smirked at Octavius.
"Naw, forget the Roman melodrama, she's gonna be a Cowgirl"
"No no, you cheated, I demand a rematch without any poor stuffed animals helping you"
Jed took off his hat and placed it on Alexias head. "Come on Alex let's go do non-Roman stuff... Like gettin' you some pants instead of skirts" Sitting her on his shoulders he quickly ran out of the room.
"That's not funny Jedediah... " He grumbled softly to himself as he followed "Can't believe you're still cracking jokes about my tunic..."
