A/N: I am back! Haha, well just quick explanation. This is after Just a Year, but it mainly centers on Octavius, Jane, Jedidiah, and my character Ida and Albina. I don't own Night at the Museum or its characters; I do own Ida and any other future characters. To let you all know I am very apprehensive about posting this continuation to Just a Year, but reviews of encouragement would make me feel much better!
…
Many drastic changes came into the lives of Jane, Octavius, and even Jedidiah. Just three years ago Jane and Octavius were married. This was quite an experience for the both of them, but a lot for Jane since the couple decided to go with the traditions of a Roman wedding; though it was worth it. Octavius was worth it. While being married to Octavius, she realized how lucky she was to live in the time she lived in, being a woman in her time. It to Jane was horrible how some of the Roman women were treated in Rome. She tried to avoid getting into trouble with some of the men in the Roman exhibit.
"You look so pretty, Jane!" Albina exclaimed. Jane gazed into the mirror; she was wearing a beautiful silk dress, which could be considered a little revealing. Her good friends Albina a Roman woman, and Ida a Western woman were with her in the room.
"Octavius will be speechless!" the Roman woman said.
Facing Albina and Ida, "Do you really think so?" Jane asked sitting herself down.
"Of course," Ida replied.
"Absolutely," Albina answered. "When is Octavius coming?"
"Around nine," Jane answered. "You two must be gone by then."
Ida and Albina smiled at each other, "I wonder why?" Ida said sarcastically.
Glaring at Ida, "Get your mind out of the gutter Ida." Jane said covering herself with a blanket.
"Oh come now it is your third wedding anniversary," smiling slyly Ida continued. "I believe me and Albina know what you and general love bottom, will be doing tonight."
Blushing fiercely, Jane threw a pillow at her friend, "Shut your mouth now!" Jane exclaimed. "And anyways me and Octavius need to be alone for…other matters."
"What other matters are you meaning?" Albina asked.
"Yeah, Jane," Ida added interested in what her friend is hiding.
There was a deep secret Jane had been keeping from the Romans, Westerners, and her husband, and she was not going to give in now. That did not mean she would give hidden hints. Returning to gazing into the mirror, she frowned. Sighing, "I'm so fat!" Jane exclaimed.
"You are not!" The two other ladies barked at the same time.
"Now what matters were you talking about?" Ida asked.
Giving up the hidden talking Jane dared to go farther, "Goodness in a few months I will not be able to wear this dress." Gazing at her friends, confusion was written across their faces. Groaning in annoyance she sat next to Albina.
"You're such a good mother to your children, Albina," Jane complimented.
"Jane what on Earth are you talking about, I mean thank you for the compliment, but first off about your weight, now you're saying I'm a good mother! What is going on in that mind of yours?" Albina asked, Jane was acting very strange.
The author would try one more thing before giving it away. "I hope one day I may be as good as mother you are to…my child."
Ida thought this all through; suddenly a thought came into Ida's mind that would explain everything. Her eyes wide she looked Jane over. "Jane…"
"Yes, Ida?" Jane replied from the look on Ida's face she had feeling that at least Ida was catching on.
"Are you…expecting?" Ida asked.
Jane cocked her head, "Expecting what?"
Albina's eyes went wide finally catching on, "You're having a baby!"
Bowing her head a little she returned her gaze to her friends, "Yes."
The three women went into a screaming, jumping, hugging fit, in happiness.
While this was going on, their jumping ended when a clang hit the floor, turning there laid an unconscious Octavius.
Running to her husband, "Octavius! Oh my goodness." Using a spare fan she tried to wake him up.
"What happened to him?!" Ida asked.
"Maybe he was listening in and when he heard you say that you are expecting, he passed out from shock!" Albina explained.
Guilt and more concern swept over Jane, "Oh this is my entire fault I just know it!"
Putting a reassuring hand on Jane's shoulder, and helping Jane wake up Octavius, "Jane don't over work yourself. And it is not your fault."
Before Jane could reply Ida and Albina left, as a groan escaped Octavius as he began to wake up, "Oh Octavius are you alright?"
Opening his eyes slightly, "Jane?"
"Oh Octavius you're alright!" Jane exclaimed wrapping her arms around him. Octavius thought back on what happened and then remembered what he had recently heard.
Grabbing Jane by her shoulders, "You are having...a-a-a-a-."
"A baby," Jane answered, taking his hand and placing it on her still flat middle. "Our baby," Austen said smiling.
A stream of emotions swept over, never had Octavius thought that he could get Jane in the condition she was in, but it seems he could. Grinning broadly he took Jane into his arms and kissed her forehead, "Our baby."
After a few seconds, "So I can say that you are happy about it?" Jane asked.
Grinning ear to ear, "I'm more than happy." With that they kissed, believing they had nothing to worry about. How wrong the two were.
