Summary: "Evelyn Carnahan O' Connell you are hereby sentenced to death." Evelyn shocked by the judge's announcement looked to her son and brother. She didn't feel the tears seeping down her face, but she knew they were there. It just wasn't suppose to end like this.
Author's Notes: I really want you to pay attention to the lyrics I have at the beginning. You know me. So please keep the faith, and remember there is always two sides to every story. Okay I've been watching a lot of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and more to the point Becoming Part II. No this fic isn't about Evelyn being a vampire slayer or anything like that. It is simply a tale of love and what one must do to protect it. I hope you all enjoy.

I have my own life...and I am stronger
Than you know
But I carry this feeling
When you walked into my house
That you won't be walking out the door
Still I carry this feeling
When you walked into my house
That you won't be walking out the door
You in the moonlight
With your sleepy eyes
Could you ever love a man like me
And you were right
When I walked into your house
I knew I'd never want to leave
Sometimes I'm a strong man
Sometimes cold and scared
And sometimes I cry
But that time I saw you
I knew with you to light my nights
Somehow I'd get by
First time I saw you
I knew with you to light my nights
Somehow I would get by

London, England
O' Connell House
March 3, 1934
Whatever the dream was it didn't matter. She was warm and content and currently being held by her husband. His strong arms were wrapped around her body in a gesture of comfort, love, and protection. Before the second time they had defeated the Mummy he didn't always hold her like this and that was okay, but after she was nearly stolen from him he refused to let her go, even in sleep.
"Are you awake Mrs. O' Connell?" he whispered. It was always a game to see which one would wake the other up first. Since Thursday was her favorite day he often woke her up. She didn't respond which made him have to convince her to be woken up, which frankly was her plan all along and he knew it. He started with the back of her neck, very slowly making tiny kisses and licks enticing shivers from her body that she delighted in. His arms moved up to her breasts holding and cupping them. She felt his strong thighs behind hers and his erection trying to find the place where it belonged.
With sudden movement she turned over and straddled her husband. He was shocked and therefore let her dominate him. Not that he didn't let her already. "So you were awake." he accused. "Of course. I've had this planned since last night." she smirked. "Yeah well you better get moving, our son will be up in just ten minutes." he warned. She leaned down and kissed him, morning breath be damned! He took her hips and was about to flip her over, but she moved and landed right on him making him enter her with complete and utter surprise. he liked it! She laughed at the look on his face, but when they started moving together her laughter was replaced with sighs and moans. It was all too soon, but the pleasure still racked her body wave by blissful wave.
Much later when she was ready to give his body up she slid from him and bounded off to the bathroom to get ready for the day. And just on cue there was a knock on the door and Alex peaked his head inside. "You descent?" Rick muttered something, but Alex couldn't hear him. "We have to leave early. I have soccer practice before school." he reminded his dad and then left to go and get breakfast. By the time Evelyn came out Rick was dressed and was ready to use the bathroom. "Toast?" she asked. "Yeah, thanks." he murmured and leaned down and gave her a kiss then walked into the bathroom.
They were out the door by 7: 25 AM. "Okay so I will take you to school, you to the museum, I have a couple of errands to run and then I will pick you up from school take you to the museum and we'll hang out there until your mother is ready to leave. Agreed?" "Agreed." "Yep." was Alex's response. Rick nodded and continued driving to Alex's school. "Good-bye." and Alex was out the door and on his way to talk with his friends. He turned around once and waved good-bye and then Rick and Evie left. He dropped her off at the museum and gave her a nice kiss good-bye and then headed off to the jewelry shop. He had a very special gift for her for their anniversary.
~*~*~*~
It was nearing 8:00 pm and Evelyn was beyond worried she was frightened. There had been no show of Rick or Alex and if they were going to be late Rick always called. She decided to catch a cab to see if she could find Alex, but stopped when she saw her little boy entering the museum. She ran down the steps and hugged him. "Where is your father?!?" she demanded. "I don't know. He never showed up." he whimpered. Evelyn was now shocked. "Did you walk all way here from school?" Alex nodded. "I didn't know what else to do mum." he was on the verge of tears and Evelyn held him to her trying not to let her own fears become overwhelming. She had to stay in control for no other reason than her son.
