Chapter 7

As Evy, Rick, and Jonathan, who was still in pain, made there way to Cairo to get to a hospital, Evy could help but wonder if Rick would take her back. Should I tell him what I have done or would he go off and leave me again. Evy thought and thought. After dropping Jonathan off at the hospital Evy and Rick found a hotel to stay in for the night.

"We'll leave in the morning and go back home."

"Are you going to go back to your hotel?"

"Why would I? Your brother made me see that I need to give you a chance to show how much you love me. I have always cut you off before you could tell me but I am going to let you tell me now."

"Rick there's something I need to tell you. When Imhotep and I arrived at his house in London, we made love together. I know that you'll be mad at me forever now so if you want to move out totally I understand" Evy didn't want to look at Rick. She was too ashamed about what she did.

"I have to admit that I am upset at that but that won't make me leave you. You were confused and didn't know what to do. You thought you loved him and you did for awhile. Please tell me that you have gotten over him now though." Rick looked at Evy waiting for an answer from her.

"Yes. He is gone now any way, besides I have you to keep me safe now." She kissed Rick on his lips and walked to their room. When Rick got there he wanted to propose to her but couldn't find the courage to do it. Jonathan walked in on him trying to figure out what he was going to say. He stood there looking at Rick when he finally got tired of seeing him go up and down from one knee to standing up.

"Just say, Evy I love you and always will. I have a very important question to ask you and I know I may be moving a little fast but here it goes. Evelyn Carnahan will you do me the honor of becoming Mrs. O'Connell"

Taking Jonathans advise, Rick made his way to the bed room where Evy was reading a book. He didn't want to inturpt her reading but at the same time he wanted to get it over with so he could take the rejection.

"Evy, can I talk to you?"

"Sure. What do you need?" Evy put her book aside and looked at Rick with her beautiful brown eyes.

"I love you. You know that right?"

"Yes I do. I want you to know that I love you and always will even though I did some bad things."

"That doesn't matter to me anymore now that I know that you don't have feelings for him. Any way what I am trying to say is, Evy will you marry me and become Mrs. O'Connell." Rick braced himself for the reaction.

"Absolutely!" Evy shouted. "I wouldn't think of any one else I would rather grow old with."

Rick jumped up and gave Evy a big hug and a kiss. He was so happy that he tripped himself and fell on top of her on the bed.

"Moving fast aren't we Mr. O'Connell." Evy said with a smile on her face. Rick kissed her again.

"That can wait till after we're married." Rick said thinking that that's how all women were.

Evy started to unbutton his shirt, "Or it could happen now if you wanted it to." Rick was surprised to see that Evy was moving fast than he was. After they both were full undressed they began to make love.

The next morning Evy and Rick went to the local church to get married. Evy in a wedding gown, Rick in a tux, and Jonathan in what ever he wore the past few days. He didn't have any money to rent him a tux and Rick and Evy didn't say anything about it all though Rick did shoot him a couple of bad look.

"Can we go home now?" Jonathan pleaded after the wedding.

"Sure unless you want to do something honey." Evy said now referring to Rick as "HONEY"

"Nope. I want to go to my own house, get into my own bathtub and take a long hot bath."

As they went for the ship that was leaving for England they were stopped by the American Egyptologist.

"Prince Imhotep will be back and he will get you. I promise you that." Rick didn't like the way he was talking to his wife and the only thing he knew to do was to hit him. Rick hit him hared enough to nock him off the dock and into the water.

"Ready to go hun?" Rick asked as Evy looked up at him with a smile.

"Yes I am. Thank you for that."

"No problem. That's what I'm here for."

Rick and Evy got home two days later to find that they had gifts from friends.

"How did everyone know about us getting married?" Evy and Rick said together as they slowly turned to look at Jonathan.

"So I told Jenny to tell every one it's a good thing. Maybe they sent something we can actually use around here."

After opening their gifts and eating dinner everyone went to bed knowing that the ordeal was over. Evy never thought about Imhotep again except when she had dreams and memories of the night they slept together but that wasn't something she would live down and forget. Rick and Evy slept as they normally did and Evy couldn't have been happier to have Rick back again. Jenny and Jonathan couldn't sleep that night though. Jonathan was still thinking about the whole thing that happened to Evy just 2 days ago. Jenny tried to get his attention focused on her but it was no use. She eventually gave up and went to sleep. Jonathan laid on his pillow, again, slowly drifting to sleep. Every thing was going to be alright. They would all live happily ever after. Then again it wouldn't hurt to go on another adventure every now and then just to find new artifacts and help build up Evy's new library, which she owned herself, and find more items that would lead to trouble like the Bracelet of Anubis.

Author Note: There is no such thing to my knowledge called the Sword of Isis. I made it up so I don't want to be hounded about historically correct, and yes I did make a lead into The Mummy Returns by hinting at the Bracelet of Anubis.
