As soon as the sun set, the tablet began to glow. Teddy smiled as he felt life return to him. It had been a rough few weeks for all of them, no question, but it was now over.

The Kushmar had left, taken by the very men who brought him and tonight was to be the first night everyone would awake once more.

Placing his sword away, Teddy looked around. Larry was no where to be seen. He was usually standing by Texas waiting for Teddy or pacing nervously, depending on his mood. Tonight, however, Teddy was alone save for a very excited Rexy.

The President smiled as the dog like dinosaur passed him the rib bone. Happy to oblige, Teddy threw it and Rexy wriggled excitedly as he chased after it.

Some of the otherr exhibits were waking up as well, stretching their muscles and greeting one another. Teddy smiled as he shook hands with a few passing exhibits. Some asked him of the weeks that had passed. Teddy didn't give them the whole tale, but he did say that it was quite an interesting month. Some pressed to hear more, others respected the President's silence and left it at that.

While this was going on, Teddy still hadn't seen Larry. He was growing concerned. Had he been attacked? Even after all this time, he knew the streets of New York were dangerous places. As the exhibits began to set up the volley ball net, Teddy unsaddled Texas and gave him a pat before starting on his path to Sacagawea's exhibit. He was nearly there when he felt a gust of cold wind from the hallway. Larry was temporarily forgotten as he unsheathed his sword and walked towards where the cold wind was coming from. He found himself by the loading bay, the doors left open.

Intruders were the first thing that came to his mind as he kept to the shadows, ready to fight if need be. Suddenly he heard a sound he had not heard in a very long time.

A baby's cry.

Teddy all but dropped his sword when he heard it. A baby? Impossible, he thought. But the cries grew louder and his curiosity grew as he stepped into the darkness of the loading bay. It was much colder than Teddy had anticipated and he held back a shiver as he peered his eyes. In the midst, he heard someone else. Their words seemed to sooth the child and the crying grew less. Teddy frowned as he got closer until he saw the silhouette of what looked like a man. And not just any man.

"Lawrence?" Teddy hissed.

The Nightguard jumped a little and turned around to reveal a small bundle in his arms, a baby with lovely brown skin and a head of black hair.

"Hey, Teddy, um-"

"What is this, lad?"

Larry cleared his throat. "Well, Teddy, this is Jean Baptiste, Sacagawea's son."

The President's eyes widened. "How did you...?"

Larry chuckled. "McPhee's a stickler for accurate history, so when I proposed the idea to give Sacagawea back her kid, he practically leapt on board. The little guy arrived tonight."

Teddy smiled as he put a gloved finger to the child's face and smiled. "She is going to be ecstatic... Lawrence, you are a wonder."

Larey beamed. "Thanks, man."

"Now, what are you going to do?"

"Well, I am going to re-introduce Sac to her little boy. Will you come?"

Teddy smiled. "I wouldn't miss this moment for the world."

Sac was over joyed to see her dear friends alive once more. Lewis could not contain his worry as he grabbed Sac into a tight hug as she told about their experience. Clark hung back, listening carefully and asking a question or two. When all was said and done, Sac realized that Teddy had not come to get them. Concerned, she turned to her brothers.

"Perhaps he is just tending to other exhibits," Clark assured. As to prove his point, a stampede of zebras raced past their hall. "That monkey is going to get us in a lot of trouble one day." The explorer said, shaking his head.

"My dear?"

Sac smiled as she saw Teddy standing in the hallway, Nicky and Ahk beside him.

"Teddy! Lads!" Clark greeted. "Good to see you again,"

"And you, as well, my friends." Teddy said.

"Hi, guys!" Nicky said as he hugged the Shoshone native.

"How was camp?"

"Awesome!"

"And where have you been?" Sac asked Teddy.

The President smiled. "My dear, close you eyes."

Sac raised an eyebrow before doimg as she was told. Teddy put a finger to his lips as Clark and Lewis stared in confusion. They then saw the reason as Larry stepped into the hall, carrying a very familiar child.

The baby then whined and Sac's eyes shot open. For a moment, she was absolutely silent. Then she slowly approached the Nightguard, and took the bundle. Tears streamed down her face as she allowed the baby to grab her finger. At once, Jean-baptiste's brown eyes met his mother's and he smiled. Sac smiled back as she placed a kiss upon his head. "My beloved, you have been returned to my arms once again." She whispered in her native language. Then she looked up. "Larry- how?"

"I pulled some strings." Larry smiled.

Sac then gave him a tight hug before turning to her brothers who were trying hard to hold back their own tears. "Our little pomp has been returned!" Clark smiled.

"Aye," Was all Lewis said.

Teddy smiled as he patted Larry's shoulder before turning to Ahk and Nicky. "What's say we leave them for a bit, hmm? We can challenge Attila to a game of volley ball?"

Nicky shuddered. "I'm on Attila's team."

A few hours later, Sac was sitting in a dark part of the museum, singing a song in her native language, a song she used to her child before he was taken. She had just finished it when she noticed Ahk peering from the the corner. She smiled as she waved him over.

Hesitantly, the Pharoah made his way over and took a seat beside her. "He is beautiful." He said as he placed his finger to the baby's own and the baby grasped it and Ahk's smiled grew.

"He is my greatest treasure." Sac said.

Ahk sighed and Sac frowned. "Something troubles you."

"It is nothing, only a bad memory that has... recently resurfaced..."

Sac remained silent, giving him the choice to tell her what upset him.

"I am happy to say that this memory has been buried deep since our first awakening... but now I am plauged. You see, we had a baby in the palace just a few night before my parents and I-" Ahk cleared his throat before beginning again. "We had a servant girl who had recently given birth to a baby boy. She was an excellent servant, beloved by my mother and father and so when she became pregnant, Mother allowed her the best of care. But she did not slack in her duties. I admired her for some time. Then one night, my parents decided to hold a banquet in honor of naming me first in line to the throne. I shall never forget that night..." Sac frowned as Ahk tugged his robes nervously. "She took me aside that evening and told me something that would have possibly changed our lives had we had chances to continue them. She explained to me that her child was the son of Kah, the baby was my nephew."

Sac's eyes widened in surprise.

"I asked why she saw fit to tell me now. She explained because she feared the gods would punish her. You see, to have an affair like this with one of the royals, is crime punishable by death." Ahk cleared his throat."I asked if Kah knew of the child, but she explained that he was banished before she could tell him."

"And what did you say to her?"

Ahk snorted. "What could I say? Yell for the guards, leave a child parentless? No, I told her to keep this between us, for I knew my parents would not be as merciful."

"That, that was a noble thing to do."

"Perhaps. That was last time I saw her before Kah returned... I doubt she ever told anyone that her baby was royalty."

The two sat in silence for a bit before Ahl awkwardly cleared his throat. "I would be grateful if we kept this between us. I do not know what possessed me to tell you this."

"Sometimes we just need to say something." Sac said. "I promise not to let this conversation travel farther then this bench."

Ahk smiled. "I shall let you get back to your son." But as he made to stand, Sac stopped him.

"Who says I do not have time for both my boys?"

It was close to 3 in the morning when Sac finished a short walk with her son, showing him everything in the museum. She sighed happily as she arrived in the empty lobby, the vollyball game long since finished.

She was about to go find Teddy when she heard the familiar hoof against tile as Texas strolled, Teddy atop his back. His uniform was a a bit ruffled, but beside that, he wore a large smile.

"My dear, I was hoping to run into you." He said, climbing down.

"Where have you been?" Sac asked as she kissed his cheek.

"The Huns got into a small scuffle with the cavemen, apparently, they stole their vollyball." Teddy chuckled at the memory. "Well, has the little lad enjoyed his first night?"

The Shoshone woman smiled. "Yes, he hasn't cried once." She then looked up, her brown eyes meeting his blue. "Would you like to hold him?"

"May I?"

Sac didn't hesitate to gently place the baby in Teddy's arms. The President's lit up as the baby looked up at his and smiled. "Hello, lad." Teddy said, softly. The baby cooed as be attempted to touch Teddy's mustache making both adults chuckle.

"He is every bit as beautiful as his mother."

Sac blushed before looking to her man. She had been pondering the question that now pounds in her head, all night long. At first, she was deathly afraid to ask. But now that she had seen her two boys finally together, she knew it was time to ask. "My love, would you, would you like to be Jean-baptiste's father?"

Teddy looked up in surprise. But by the expression on his face, Sac could not tell whether he was flattered or scared. She suddenly felt dry in the mouth. Was that wrong to ask? Of course it was! She silently cursed to herself. Of course Teddy wasn't interested, he had a whole MUSEUM to father. What a foolish-

"I would be honored."

Sac snapped out of her thoughts and stared at him. "You-"

"I would be honored, my dear." Teddy smiled.

The Shoshone closed her eyes in relief as she leaned on his shoulder. "My life is complete." She said, softly as her arm looped around Teddy's and her hand rested with Jean-Baptiste who had fallen asleep.

Teddy smiled before he noticed Ahk walking in. Upon seeing them, he skidded to a stop and prepared to leave, but before he could, Sac called out his name.

The young teen slowly made his way ocer before he stood before them. "I apologize for spoiling the moment."

"Nonsense." Teddy said. "Come say hello to our newcomer."

Ahk smiled as he walked over.

"Now," Teddy said. "Our family is complete."

Miss me?

Let's have a round of applause for arwenishtar, author to the fantastic stories After Life and Falcons of the Sun, for convincing me to start writing again.

Sorry for lack of stories and writing, been having severe writer's block, but also lack of interest. I will start back, soon, that's a promise.
