A Brother's Promise - Complete

Chapter 19 - Final Chapter

"I love you Nick" 

"Love you too Ahk" 

"Good" 

Nick only smiled sharing a kiss with the man he loved before the two closed their eyes and slept the rest of the day away. While a proud set of father's glimpsed into the room. Larry grinned shutting the door after watching Kahmunrah tuck their sons in. Even Merenkahre and Teddy had taken a glimpse before all four of them left the young couple to sleep. 

Sacagewa couldn't help but check on a certain roman and cowboy who always had their front door unlocked since Dexter liked to cuddle up with them. Which reminded her, where was her six year old? Thankfully she found him but in the cutest way. Jed was curled up holding tightly to Octavius who was in his arms, back against chest while in the roman's was her cheeky little six year old sound asleep to the rest of the world. Sac couldn't help but tuck them in and kiss her son's head, the shared a look with Octavius who's eye blinked awake. 

"Thank you" Sac couldn't help but whisper, Octavius barely acknowledged before his eyes slipped close and Jed pulled him unconsciously closer. 

With a smile Sac left intending on finding the one she called her lover. Shortly she found him and sat beside him while they spoke with Lancelot and Atilla. They were shortly joined by those who were still awake, all enjoying the second chance they had been gifted at life. All because a young former king had bargained with the gods several times in order not only to save their lives but the magic that certainly flowed through their first home. The Museum of Natural History’s magic would live on all through the king whom’s blood was full of the magic, it would continue to flow due to both a roman and king who both had a destiny to fulfil. Whether that was to be a parent again or uncle, only time would tell. 

Five Years Later…

All of them couldn’t believe it, five long years had passed since they had all been given the opportunity to be human and live amongst the rest of the world. Several of the former exhibits had gone exploring such as, Lancelot, Attila, Octavius, Jedidiah, Merenkahre and Shepseheret. While others had stayed very close to home due to many reasons, one being children.

Dexter was now the age of 11 and he was still a rascal as he ran around being chased by a little five year old, who belonged to Kahmunrah and Layla. His name Aspen which was a beautiful name and he was named after Kahmunrah’s still-born son. He was full of joy and loved the museum. Even though many of them had travelled around the world, Larry and Dr McPhee had asked them all to return for a party or more importantly the anniversary of the museum. 

So far in the room were Larry, Teddy, Sac, Dexter, Kah, Layla, Aspen, Lancelot, Tilly, Dr McPhee, Merenkahre, Shepseheret and Atilia. Those who were missing were running late or getting off flights as Octavius and Jedidiah had moved to live in Rome as they both wanted to try to live somewhere new and for the sake of Octavius, Jed wanted him to feel home while he could. Technically they were backpacking as they officially still lived in New York, they were just on a very long six month holiday. Ahk had explained Octavius couldn’t be away from the tablet for more than seven months so the two made sure to pay attention to time even if they travelled more than they were meant to. Jed became certified to make sure he could provide for his partner if anything happened, plus the two got married four years ago which was a strange wedding itself. Octavius didn’t want one while Jed showed him a traditional one of western times which the roman just accepted knowing he was gonna have to celebrate somehow and that ended up being at the museum. 

Not even thirty minutes into the anniversary party did the front doors open and the cowboy himself entered with a grinning roman following him in. Larry was first to greet them when he took notice of someone else entering but on the roman’s hip.
