Chapter 10: Return to the Past Thebes, Egypt 1324 BC

Ankhesenamun




WhenAlexandria, Tutankhamun, Sam, the children and I arrived at ourdestination, we quickly found out what the year, month and date was."So if I'm correct, you and Tutankhamun must have been married forat least 7 months and you must havebeen at least 6 months pregnantwith the twins at this time" I said


"Solets go find us then" Alexandria giggled as I looked up at the sky


"Andif I'm correct, we must be arriving in the audience chamber soon" Ismiled as we rushed off. But when we were about to round the lastcorner I stopped


"What'swrong Ankhesenamun?" Sam asked


"Ifwe go through those doors we'll be caught"


"Curseit, I forgot about that. What are we going to do?" Tutankhamunasked


"Wellluckily my Aunt Sitamun showed me a secret room within the audiencechamber to watch without being seen"


"Really,where is it?" Alexandria asked


"Followme" I giggled as I led them to a nearby wall where I opened asecret door that led to a narrow passageway, that in turn led to acurtain near the thrones.


"It'sbeen so long since we've seen these walls" Tutankhamun muttered ashis eyes took in the familiar wall carvings of the Malkata Palacethat we'd once called home.


"Iknow" I smiled as I held his hand,


"Wereare we?" Alexandria asked after a moment


"Weshould be finishing breakfast at this point, I think" I repliednoticing that the throne had remained empty. After a little while thedoors finally opened and our old selves walked in.


"Wow,you three look so young and so regal" Sam chuckled in my ear makingme blush


"Whyis Aunt Alexandria's belly so big?" Kiya whispered


"Becauseshe's pregnant with the twins, now be quiet while your father talks"I smiled.


Whenthe meeting was over and our old selves had left Sam and Tutankhamunwent over to Tutankhamun's throne


"Wowthis is crazy" Sam explained as he watched my little brother gentlytouch his old throne.


"Iknow, I never thought that I would see this throne again" hechuckled as he tenderly sat down


"Doyou feel your old power returning again?" Alexandria teased and helaughed as he leaned back


"Sowhat's the plan?" I asked once we returned to the hidden oassage


"Well,we could take Sam and the children to all of the the most importantevents in our history" Alexandria suggested


"Yes,and we could take them to mine and Tutankhamun's childhood" I saidgetting excited about our adventures through time.


"WellI think that we need to find a good day to go to first" Alexandriasmiled as Tutankhamun pulled her onto his lap


"Wecould go to when Tutankhamun was born" I suggested and they nodded


"Ithink that it's a wonderful idea" Sam said as he pulled me into hisarms.




Tiye




Afterwe saw father when he was Pharaoh fro the first time, mother andUncle Mark took us to when father and Aunt Ankhesenamun werechildren, and we saw our Grandfather Akhenaten, and GrandmothersNefertiti and Kiya. After that we traveled to almost every majorevent in their lives, even when they first meet mother.


Whenwe were finished and had returned to our rightful time period and hadsettled down, I watched as my baby brother was put down for a nap.When my parents returned and had sat down with me and Thutmose, mymother asked "Did you two have fun on our little adventure today?"


"Yesmommy, we had lots of fun" Thutmose smiled and I nodded inagreement.


Thatnight, I couldn't sleep so I went downstairs and started watching avideo that my mother made from when father and Aunt Ankhesenamun hadfirst visited the present.


"Tiye,what are you still doing up?" I looked up and saw my father comingdownstairs and sat next to me


"Icouldn't sleep" I smiled as I paused the video


"Letme guess, because of all of the excitement?" he smiled and I noddedas I yawned


"Youshould get back to bed" he said as he picked me up and carried meback to bed. Once he'd laid me down in my bed he tenderly kissed myhead "Good night my little princess" he smiled


"Goodnight papa" I smiled as I curled up in my blanket and watched himsilently leave the room.




Alexandria




Whenthe next morning arrived and I went downstairs and I went downstairsand I found the TV still on from when Tiye and Tutankhamun had theirconversation the previous night. The screen showed when Ron andRamses and I had taught Tutankhamun and Ankhesenamun how to playbaseball on the Wii.


"MorningAuntie Alex"" I looked over and watched Kiya slowly walkeddownstairs with Amunhotep in her arms.


"Goodmorning Kiya, how did you sleep?" I asked as she walked over


"Good"she smiled as she set the baby on my lap


"AuntieAlex can I ask you something?"


"Sure,what is it?"


"Didyou ever meet my birth father?"


"Whatdid you mean?"


"Iknow that your husband isn't my birth father, and I'm just curious asto who he is"


"OhKiya, I think that this is a conversation to have with your motherbut to answer your question, yes I did. Now, I think that once yourmother comes downstairs we'll have to talk about this with her okay?"I asked and Kiya nodded. The first thing I thought was how did shefind out about her birth father Nakhtim? I know that none of us hadmentioned anything about it. Then I realized she'd seen Nakhtimseveral times before her birth, and must have figured it out.


"AuntieAlex, what was he like?"


"Hewas a strong and gentle man, and I think he loved you"




Ankhesenamun




Laterthat morning after breakfast Alexandria told me of the conversationthat she had with Kiya about Nakhtim "What should we do? Should weexplain everything to her now that she knows?" I asked as we satdown on the couch and she sighed


"Ithink that it's time to tell her about Nakhtim" I replied and shednodded. So we called Kiya in from outside and told her everythingabout Nakhtim and how he'd died of old age after a lifetime ofbattles. When we finished, Kiya nodded


"Thankyou" she smiled as she got up and went back outside.


"Thatwent better then expected" I sighed as I leaned back and Alexandrianodded in agreement.


Laterthat day Alexandria, Kiya, Tiye and I went out on the town for agirls day out while Tutankhamun and Sam took Thutmose out on a boy'sday. When we all reunited that night for dinner, we caught up on theday's events.


"So,we ladies got manicures and pedicures and talked about girly stuff"Tiye giggled


"Wellwe went the horse stable and I got to ride a, a, what was it calleddaddy?"


"ANubian" Tutankhamun chuckled making Alexandria and I raise oureyebrows


"Iknow, I know bad idea" Sam laughed


"Ofcourse it's a bad idea, what were you guys thinking?" I asked


"Itwas a mellowed out horse, and I was riding with him, don't worry"Tutankhamun laughed and I shook my head.




Tutankhamun




Thefollowing day, Alexandria and I had the day to ourselves while thechildren stayed at the house with Sam "So you took Thutmose to thehorse stables and he rode a Nubian?"


"Ohmy beautiful Alexandria, don't worry I was with him on the horse thewhole time, and I was practically holding onto the reigns" Ichuckled as took her hand


"Wellat least he had fun" she sighed as she turned to me wrapped herarms around my neck "I love you Tutankhamun, and I can't wait tosee what adventures we'll have together with our beautiful children"she smiled as she kissed me


"AndI love you my beautiful Alexandria, and I cant wait to see whatbeautiful memories we'll create as we grow old together" I mutteredagainst her lips as I pulled her closer and deepened the kiss.


Whenwe returned home that night, I lead Alexandria to our room room whereI gently pushed her onto the bed and made passionate love many, manytimes.


Whenwe were finished I watched as Alexandria curled up against me "Ilove you my Queen" I muttered against her soft blonde hair


"AndI love you my Pharaoh" she smiled as feel asleep on my chest makingme smile at how adorable she was. My final thoughts were of her andour wonderful children as I feel into a blissful sleep.
