"Sallah!" Indy and Marion exclaimed in unison when they arrived in Cairo.
"My friends! To what do I owe this occasion? It has barely been a month!" Sallah exclaimed.
"Hello Sallah, hello Fayah. Well, Indy and I have some important news to tell you," Marion said.
"Oh, good, good. Please sit down," Sallah said.
"Can I get you anything?" Fayah offered.
"No, we're good," Indy replied.
"Well, what is this big news?" Sallah finally demanded.
"Maybe you should sit down," Marion said.
"Just tell us!" Fayah insisted.
"Well, Marion and I are going to be parents. She's pregnant," Indy finally blurted out.
"This is wonderful news!" Fayah said, smiling.
"I agree. Today, we celebrate!" Sallah rejoiced.

Later that evening, Indy and Sallah were on the patio enjoying a drink. "Are you sure you're ready, Indy?" Sallah fretted. "I mean, for the responsibilities of parenthood?"
Indy thought about this. "Well, not really, I guess, No," He replied. "Why are you so wooried about me? You've never been so worried before."
"Well, Indy, it's just that you've always had a restless, exciting, adventurous lifestyle. This is a big responsibility. Are you positive you're ready to settle down and raise a family? Ready to completely alter your way of life?" Sallah said, concerned.
"Come on, Sallah! You're scarin' me. You make this whole deal seem like risky business." Indy was desperately trying to change the subject.
"Ah, we should not bedicussing this. It should be a time of rejoicing a new life. Tonight, we feast!" Sallah replied. He realized that he may discoveredoneof Indy's hidden fears.

"What are you planning on naming the baby, Uncle Indy?" One of the children questioned.
"Indiana."
"Marion," They both answered simultaneously. "Well, we haven't exactly decided on a name yet, Sajee. We have plenty of time, though," Marion replied.
"Yeah, but it seems as though we'll have trouble deciding on one," Indy said.
Fayah smiled. "Well, let's try to narrow it down some. What would you definetely not name her or him?"
"Henry."
"Abner," Again at the same time, they both aswered. Marion looked up at Indy with a puzzled face. "Why wouldn't we name the baby Henry?" She asked.
"No sun of mine will be dubbed 'Henry P. Jones III'!" He exclaimed.
"Oh, well sorry I hit a soft spot, Indiana Jones." Indy only sighed and went back to eating. "How do you know that it's gonna be a boy?" Marion interrogated.
"Because," He replied matter-of-factly.
"It's gonna be a girl, Indy."
"Nope, a boy."
"How can you be so sure?"
"I'm intelligent."
Marion scoffed. "Right."
"Are you agreeing?"
"I was being sarcastic."
The arguement droned on, getting more dangerous with each remark.
Fayah turned to face her husband next to her. "What should we do?" She questioned. Sallah just shrugged and went back to eating.
"Whatever happened to the monkey from the last vist, Uncle Indy?" Jonal questioned.
"Huh?"
"Yes, the monkey that looked like you." Kellah said. All the children started to giggle. Fayah and Sallah laughed, too. Everyone laughed exept Indy and Marion. Marion flushed a little out of embarassment, and Indy looked playfully hurt. "Do you really believe that I look like a monkey?" He asked. The room was teeming with tumultuous laughter, the loudest of all coming from Marion.

"Marion," Indy said when they were both in bed that night. "I'm gonna raise this kid, and it wouldn't be right if we weren't, um, lawfully together."
She chuckled. "What are you saying?"
"I'm saying we should get married. That is, if you want to."
"I think that's a great idea."
