Chapter 12: Gift

Sorry for the late update. Works are getting hectic these days. I will try to update as soon as I could. Thanks for supporting me, you know who you are.

LyaCatWomen, I always think that Rachel Weisz is a gorgeous and sexy woman. She was perfect for the role in Mummy series. Her strong character, her intelligence, her beauty were perfect for Evy. It was designed for her. Evy couldn't be replaced by any other actresses except Rachel. That's how I set Evy character in my story, based on Rachel. She is a strong woman, just like our Evy. Remember the scene in The Mummy Returns, after the bus stopped, she crooked her finger at Rick (Brendan Fraser). I think it was so sexy and seductive. She and Brendan has the chemistry in the movies. Their interactions, conversations and kisses made us having fantasy on their romance.

One month later

"Oh... tell me why we bothered to leave Egypt. I miss this place so much" she said once her feet stepped on the land. "We only have left for three months honey" he said. "As I've mentioned before, Egypt is my blood. It's part of me. Besides, it's where we met" she said and smiled at him. "Right" he said and dropped his head to kiss her. "It's bloody hot" George appeared when their lips almost touched. "He's bloody annoying" Rick muttered as he rested his forehead against hers. "Be nice. We have to spend quite a lot of time with him" she said though she didn't like George being here with them but she needed to work with him all the time in Egypt. It was bad to treat him like that. She was too kind.

"Finally we have the alone time" he said once they were inside the house. They stayed in their house whereas George stayed in the hotel. He dropped the suitcases and she turned around to face him and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Hmmm" she nuzzled his nose. And he kissed her as he couldn't resist anymore. He lifted her into his arms and carried her to the parlor. He lay her down onto the couch and unbuttoned her blouse. They had the house all to themselves as her brother wasn't around. They could do whatever they wanted to do. (Of course, you know what I mean) After the conversations they had, she was more confident with herself and also their relationship. She wasn't shy anymore when they made love. She knew her husband sensitive spots, knew how to touch him, to give him pleasure like he did. He had brought out her boldness. And he loved the way she touched him and kissed him, like she was making love with his soul not only his body felt the pleasure but his heart. There was no woman had made him felt this before, he felt complete when he was inside of her. One thing she had learned from her husband was his demanding urges for her. Probably they were still in honeymoon. But she doubted he would get enough of her. And she was glad with that because she wouldn't get enough of him too.

He slept after they made love, exhausted from the trip and also the intense love making. She carried their suitcase to the bedroom and unpacked their stuffs. She smiled when she caught sight of the toolkit. He had awkwardly gave it to her. The first time Rick O'Connell felt nervous, unable to speak to a woman. In fact, she found her husband was adorable when he was giving her the toolkit. He woke up moment later and found he was alone in the parlor. He went to search for his wife. "I thought you've lost it" he said once he walked into their room and noticed the toolkit on the bed. He knew it was the one he gave her. "The first gift you gave me. It's priceless for me. I can't lose it" she said. "As I remembered, you were quite funny when you gave this to me. I would love to see it from you again. It was priceless too" she said and laughed. "You have no idea how nervous I was. I was afraid you might refuse to take it" he said as he pulled her into his arms. "Why would I do that?" she said. "It was kinda weird to give you a toolkit instead of flowers" he said. "But you made the right choice. I do like it though you borrowed it from your friend as you put it" she said. He laughed to cover his shyness. "Anyway, it was my first time intended to give something to a woman" he said. "Really... after all these women" she teased him. "Well, I gave flowers to them just because I want something from them in return. But my intention was as pure as water when I gave you this" he said. "I know" she said as she closed their distance and allowed herself to be pulled into his arms. They could stay like that for whole day.

The group spent most of their time at the Cairo Museum. They had to do a lot of study and researches to make sure the ruin they were going to find was existed. They had to make sure the exact location of the ruin to avoid going to the wrong place. The last event had taught them to be cautious. Archaeology always took a lot of time to complete. It could take months or even years to dig out all the stuffs beneath the sand.

This was the second week they back to Egypt. She stirred and rolled onto her back, realised the sun had risen. She opened her eyes to look around and found her husband wasn't awaken yet. She used her way to wake him up by kissing his bare chest. He stirred when his wife's lips touched his skin. A lazy smile formed on his face before he opened his eyes to face his gorgeous wife. "Good morning" he said. "Good morning. I guess he's awake too" she said and smiled as she noticed the bulge on his boxer. "He just can't get hold of himself when you're around" he said. "Let me take care of this" she said and kissed him while her hand moved to take care of his morning wood. Suddenly she felt something inside her stomach was about to coming out from her mouth. She broke the kiss and covered her mouth to avoid spilling all over the bed. "Honey" he said. She got up and ran into the bathroom. She was able to reach the toilet before she threw out last night dinner. And she felt sick. He held her hairs up and smoothed her back while she empty her stomach. After she finished, he gave her a glass of water to wash her mouth and wiped her mouth with a rag. "You alright?" he said while he lower the rid of the toilet and guided her to sit on it. "I'm fine. Just a bit dizzy" she said. "Stay here. I'll ring the doc" he said and turned to walk but she grabbed his arm. "I'm fine honey. Really, it's just I'm too tired for the past week, spending so much hours on the study. All I need is rest. I'll be fine, don't worry" she said. "Are you sure you don't want to let the doc to have a check or something?" he said. "Yes, I'm sorry for not finishing what we have started" she said. His morning wood was still awake and not being taken care of. He laughed and ran his fingers into his hairs. "Don't worry about that. I'll take care of it" he said. He gently lifted her into his arms and carried her back into their bedroom. "I'll ring the museum saying that you are not coming today" he said once she was laying on the bed. She nodded and closed her eyes. He kissed her forehead and walked out the bedroom to make the call to her workplace.

Her nausea kept coming every morning. And he was worried because she refused to see the doctor. "Honey, let me take you to the doc" he said once she was finished and sat on the rid of the toilet. They were having the same conversation every morning since the day she had the nausea. "Alright. I'll go this afternoon. Happy?" she said as she was annoyed and her mood swing in these few days. "Honey, I don't want anything happen to you" he said. She smiled at him as her temper gone when hearing him said that. "I will go see the doctor during lunch hour" she said. "Alright I'll pick you up at 12" he said. "I'll go by myself. You have to buy all the supplies we need for the site dig, remember?" she said. "But-" he said. "Don't worry, I'll be fine" she said and kissed him. "Sorry, my breath must be horrible" she said after she broke the kiss and began to stand up to wash her mouth. He grabbed hold of her and kissed her. "You taste like you" he said after the kiss and they bumped their nose against each other.

"Mrs. O'Connell, have a seat" Dr. Williams said. "Thank you, Dr. Williams" she said. "So Mrs. O'Connell, how are you feeling?" he asked. "I've been having nausea and sometimes feeling dizzy" she said. "Are you newlywed?" he asked. "Yes" she said. "How's your cycle?" he asked. "I've been missing my cycle for 3 months. Something wrong?" she said. "Nothing is wrong but I need to run a test to confirm. Don't worry" he said. Few minutes later, Dr. Williams came back with a report in his hand. "Mrs. O'Connell you have a good news" he said. 'How could nausea be a good news' she thought. "The result of the test shows that you are pregnant. Congratulations" he said. "Preg... pregnant?" she was shocked. "Yes, you are three months along. The morning nausea and dizzy during pregnancy are very common. Take plenty of rest and warm water could help you feel better" he said. "Thank you. Dr. Williams" she said and left. Her thoughts were all about the pregnancy in the rest of the afternoon. There was a baby inside her tummy. Her baby. Rick's baby. Their baby. Part of her was joy but the other part of her was worry. They haven't talk about having baby and she didn't know how to handle this, how to tell the father of her baby. She didn't know how he was going to take this news, whether he was happy or sad about this news. She hoped he would happy but also afraid he would get upset for having baby.

'What if he don't want the baby? What if he gets angry?' she thought. 'No, Rick would be very happy. He would not angry at me for this. Tonight when he back, I will tell him' she knew she needed to be confident with her husband.

She told him that the doctor said everything was fine after he back from getting the supplies they needed. She was having a cold and all she needed was rest. He was relieved that she was fine.

She lay on the bed, thinking about how to tell her husband that he was going to be a father. He came out from the shower and wore nothing but a pair of boxer. He climbed onto the bed and settled on top of her body, nuzzled her neck and her shoulder. "You smell so good baby" he said. 'And you are going to have another baby' she thought. Her lack of response caused him to stop what he was doing to her. He popped himself up with his elbow and looked at his wife while his hand stayed on her stomach. "Are you ok?" he asked. "Can I ask you something?" she said. "Of course. You alright?" he said. "I'm fine. Just having thoughts. Do you like kids?" she asked. "No" he said and her heart sank. "Especially screaming kids. I have no patience to deal with kids. But I do like to have one or two kids with you" he said. "Why? You said you don't like kids" she said. "Yeah... but it's different if the kids are ours. I always want to have a family. And it needs a husband, a wife and kids. I won't call it family if there is no kids in the equation. Why?" he said. "I just thought we need to discuss this matter. Anyhow, what if our kids are screaming kids? Will you fed up with them?" she asked. "Hmmm... good question. I guess I need to learn how to calm myself and be patience with them. After all, they probably get their temper from me" he said with a goofy grin. And she kissed him. 'Who will think that Rick O'Connell as a family man with a kid? I guess you couldn't judge a man from the first impression' she thought. His lips travel down to her throat and pulled the slips of the nightgown to show her breasts. He kissed his way down to her chest and kissed her nipples. He licked her nipple and suck it. She almost forgot about the news she wanted to tell him. "Rick" she said. "Hmmm" he said without letting go her nipple. "I'm pregnant" she said. He raised his head to look at her, afraid he might heard her wrong. "Come again" he said. "I'm pregnant. We are going to have a baby, Rick" she said. The shock expression on his face turned into a big smile. "Really?" he said after he was facing her and looking into her eyes. "Yes" she said and giggled like a schoolgirl. "I'm going to be a father" he said as he bumped his nose against her. "So, you lied to me when you told me the doctor said you have a cold, were you?" he teased her. "Well I need to know what is your thought about we having a baby before I tell you the truth. I don't want you to have the feelings that you have to accept the fact because you have no choice. I want to make sure that you are happy about my pregnancy" she said. "What if I tell you that I have no plan to have kids? Are you going to keep it from me?" he said. "I don't know. Maybe but maybe not. I don't know" she said and avoid his eyes. "I'm just kidding. I know you wouldn't and you know what... you make me the happiest man alive. The first time was I proposed to you and you said yes. The second time was our wedding night. And this is the third time. I know there are going to be forth, fifth, hundred and million times, as long as I'm with you, I'm happy" he said. "Right princess?" he moved his hand to her stomach and talked to the baby. "You think it's a girl" she said. "And you think it's a boy?" he said. "I do" she said. "Well you are wrong. I know it's a girl" he said. "So sure of yourself Mr. O'Connell? I'm the mother, I know it's a boy" she said. "We will know by the time" he said. "You like a daughter, do you?" she said. "Yeah... little Evy running in the house, driving me crazy just like you did. She will look alot like her mother" he said as he was smiling. She admired her husband even more when he was talking about having a daughter. Full of love in his tone and eyes. "We aren't sure yet. Maybe it's not a girl" she said. "Well, we could always try until we get one" he said with a husky tone. And she knew what he was suggesting. The couple kissed and celebrated her pregnancy by love making.

How was it? Review please. I appreciate ideas because I'm running out of it. I need something to spark my dying brain. Thank you.
