Prologue
Anubis scanned the courtroom of the underworld carefully. True to form, Cecil, Gus, and Reginald were based at three of the main entrances. At times, he wondered how he couldn't judge these three, in spite of the evidence he had, and, as usual at times like these, his thoughts drifted to Tally. He shook his head, and he gradually became aware of a few odd noises just outside the courtroom.
The volume of the noises increased until, finally, one of the doors burst open.
Tally clocked in just several minutes before sunset, her lunch for the night in tow, and went about her rounds. Very quickly, she noticed that some men were packing up Jesse James' display, but she had no need to ask questions, so she walked on to the Egyptian wing, where she silently readied Ahkmenrah's sarcophagus.
Tally took a step back to watch the tablet glow and awaken the whole museum. Ahkmenrah climbed out of his sarcophagus and said, "Oh, you're early."
"What? Did you expect me to be ten minutes late?" Tally asked, her hands on her hips.
"Oh, no, no." He stepped over and put his hands on her upper arms. "I was just surprised, is all."
"I know," Tally said with a smirk.
"You've accepted McPhee's advice and taken to maternity wear, I see."
"I didn't really have a choice."
"Makes sense. How is the child?"
"Guess what?"
"What?"
"They managed to determine the gender."
"And may I ask about it?"
"You, my friend, have an heir."
Ahkmenrah pulled Tally into him and whispered into her hair, "Oh, thank you, Tally. Thank you."
"Hey, for the record, the dude determines the gender of a child. They just figured that out way after your time."
He pulled away, blushing visibly. "Let's...ah...go to the party."
"Okay, I'm down with that."
