Chapter 20

Home

Tea looked over her horizon. She closed her eyes and breath in fresh air of what would probably be the last time she would breathed in the air that was the present. The present she believed she belonged to.

"I guess this is the end." Said Tea.

"No it is only the beginning." Said a strong voice.

Tea turned to see Atem behind her. His arms were crossed and his stare made her nervous.

"Atem." Tea whispered.

"Why did you say this is the end?" Asked Atem.

He walked toward Tea. Tea looked down and then back up at him.

"Well you see this is the time of my home and this will be last time I'll stand here in this time." Said Tea.

Atem shook his head.

"I see that you still haven't learned much about your time here." Said Atem.

Tea looked at Atem completely confused.

"What do you mean?" Asked Tea.

Atem took her right hand in his.

"Tea, you belong to where your heart is. Tell me Tea when the duel ended between my spirit and Yugi what were your thoughts." Said Atem.

Tea sighed.

"I was sad that you were leaving. I didn't want you to leave and when I saw you enter I wished I could have told you my feelings for you." Said Tea.

Atem gently touched her cheek.

"Tea I believe that you were brought to me not by a mistake but by fate. " Said Atem.

He lean in and kissed her head.

"Fate?" Question Tea.

"Yes. It was fate that we should be together and that we were to be marry." Said Atem.

"Was that your first thought when you saw me?" Asked Tea.

"When I looked into your eyes I knew we were destined to be together." Said Atem.

He moved his hands to her waist.

"I'm glad you were sent to my time in my kingdom. I know I was harsh when you came, but when I first saw you I knew that no one was to have you, but me. I was willing to do anything to keep you from leaving." Said Atem.

Tea felt her eyes fill with tears. She threw her arms around Atem and gentle cry. They finally separated.

"Tea are you coming. If not I may have to dragged you." Atem teased.

He smiled and winked at her. Tea smiled and wiped the tears from her eyes. She began to laugh and Atem started to chuckle.

"You know what made me fall head over hills in love with you." Said Tea.

"What was it Tea?" Asked Atem.

"It was when you laugh. You hardly laugh. Your laughter to me was always pure and warm and also welcoming and comforting and I could go on forever with your laugh." Said Tea.

"I had to take my dad's place right away as soon as he died and that force me to be serious. When I first saw you I felt that I could actually play jokes out of fun." Said Atem.

Tea gently pushed him.

"Hey pushing the pharaoh is a serious punishment." Said Atem.

He put his arm around her waist. She smiled and kissed his lips.

"What would that be?' Asked Tea, faking her horror.

"I'll think of something don't worry." Said Atem.

He released her and started walking back to where their kids and friends waited for them. Tea lowered her head.

"If you are worry about how everyone is going to treat you. You have nothing to worry about." Said Atem.

Tea looked up to see Atem looking straight at her like he was looking deep into her very soul.

"How did you know that I worry about that?" Asked Tea.

Atem chuckle and shook his head.

"Tea, I think you forget that I'm your husband." Said Atem.

Atem smiled and open his hand.

"Come on I believe it is time for us to head home with our family." Said Atem.

Tea smiled up at Atem and took his hand. They returned to the group they had left. Mahad had signal that everyone stay in line and take hands. Tea took Mana's hand and Monica's. Atem took Mahad's and lil' Atem's leaving Nila in the middle. Mana and Mahad stood on the outside.

"Okay guys try to concentrate think of Egypt and what the palace may look like me and Mana will cast the spell." Said Mahad.

Everyone nodded and shut their eyes and thought of what Egypt may look like until Tea felt someone tugged on her hand. Tea opened her eyes to see Monica looking up at her nervously.

"What is it Monica?" Asked Tea.

"I'm worry when if they don't like me." Whispered Monica.

"They'll love you I promise you that." Said Tea.

"Really." Said Monica.

Tea smiled down at her.

"Really." Said Tea.

She turned to see that they were in Ancient Egypt in the palace. There were people waiting with huge smiles on their faces. Isis walked up to Tea and hugged her.

"Welcome home Tea and you brought the whole family." Said Isis.

Isis finally released Tea and went straight and greeted the kids. She then whispered into a servant's ear and the servant nodded.

"Don't worry little one we'll have a room for you near the balcony to see the ocean. I know you'll love it." Said Isis.

Monica eyes widen and nodded her head.

"Good I'm glad." Said Isis.

Soon the kids left with a servant to look around the palace leaving Tea alone with the royal court and the pharaoh.

"Tea, you should be ashamed of yourself for leaving." Said Karim.

Tea lowered her head.

"Sorry." Tea whispered.

Everyone's gazed soften. Isis walked over and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"It's okay Tea. I know you're really sorry and after all I had seen your return." Isis smiled.

"Yes and Tea do us all a favor and stay here." Said Seth.

Tea smiled and nodded. She then felt Atem's arms circle around her waist.

"I'm glad you're back were you belong. With me, the kids, and the court, love." Said Atem.

He leaned in and kissed Tea's cheek. She smiled leaned into his shoulder


I'm sad to say this is the end of this story. All stories eventually come to an end sooner or later.
