Welcome to the last chapter of Second Chances. This part is extra long for you guys. I hope you enjoy it and thanks for reading.


The next morning Ahkmenrah went to the museum early so he could be there when the exhibits were shipped off. He wanted to make sure the Nefretiri was gone. Taylor was a little upset that Capone was leaving as well, but there was nothing Ahkmenrah could do about that.

Before the exhibits were shipped off, Ahkmenrah said one last good-bye to Nefretiri. He couldn't believe that he was blind to her deception. He was glad that he opened his eyes to the truth before it tore him and October apart.

He wished so many times he could forget his life with Nefretiri even after he found out the truth, but he couldn't. He didn't deny that he was happy with her, though that was centuries ago. It was time to let go of the past. He has a new life with a new family.

"Good-bye, Nefretiri. I hope you find peace in the afterlife."

He then waited for the movers to take the exhibits. He didn't have to wait long and he was glad to see Nefretiri go. After the exhibits were taken away, Ahkmenrah went back home to tell October the good news.

When Ahkmenrah got home he noticed it was quiet. A little too quiet. He walked into his room and what he saw brought a smile to his face. October was lying on her back and Faith was lying across her chest, both were asleep. Ahkmenrah slid into bed next to October and kissed her. October opened her eyes and smiled.

"How'd it go?"

"She's gone along with the rest of the exhibits."

"That's good. I'm sure everyone at the museum will be happy to see us tonight." October yawned.

"You sure you want to go? You could stay and get some rest. I'm sure the others will understand."

"I might as well go. It's not like I'm actually going to get some rest if we have a repeat of last night."

"Who would have thought that someone this small could scream so loud? She gets it from you."

"If I didn't have a baby on me I would hit you."

"You know you love me."

October giggled. "Yeah I do."

That night October felt better going to the museum knowing that Nefretiri wasn't there any more. She was lucky that both she and Faith were fine after the fall down the stairs. She knew things could have been worse and she was thankful they weren't.

When the couple arrived at the museum the first thing everyone noticed was the small bundle in October's arms. They all gathered around her to see the new addition to the family.

"She's so adorable." Sacagawea said.

"She looks a lot like the pharaoh." Jed said, who was standing on Larry's shoulder.

"Yeah she does. She even has his eyes." October said.

"And how are you doing?" Teddy asked October.

"A lot better now that Nefretiri is gone. Faith and I survived the fall without any serious injury."

"That's good to hear."

"May I hold her?" Sacagawea asked.

"Sure." October handed Faith to her.

For the next few minutes everyone was gushing over Faith as they passed her around, Faith is a lucky kid to grow up with these many people who are for her. She's going to have opportunities that no other child will have.

Nick volunteered to watch Faith anytime and so did Larry. Sacagawea also offered to watch Faith if October and Ahkmenrah wanted to go out for a night. October thanked them and told them she was going to take them up on their offers some time.

Things were starting to look up. It wasn't an easy year, but she and Ahkmenrah made it through. They had their ups and downs, but their love was strong enough to over come all the obstacles that came their way. Now they only had one more challenge that awaited them: the wedding.

Seven months had passed and the big day was finally here. October was very excited and nervous. She kept going on about how things could go wrong like the cake falling or her tripping down the aisle or not being able to fit in her dress.

"Calm down, October." Rebecca said. "Take a deep breath."

October, who was pacing, stopped and took a deep breath. "I'm calm. I'm thinking positive thoughts. I'm positive something is going to go wrong."

"The only way something will go wrong is if you make it go wrong. The more you think about it the more likely it will happen."

"Why are weddings so nerve wrecking?"

Rebecca shrugged. "Don't ask me. I've never been married."

"Are you ever going to get married?"

"If I find the right guy."

"I think the right guy is in the men's room."

It was true that Larry was in the men's room helping Ahkmenrah get ready just like Rebecca was in the girl's room helping October. Since the ceremony was going to be outside there wasn't a place to get ready so the restrooms would have to do.

"Please tell me you aren't saying who I think your saying."

"You two are perfect for each other. It's just that Larry's business got in the way. Why don't you give it a second chance?"

"Because I know what will happen. Larry is still trying to get his business going."

"From what I hear he already has a deal."

"Then he'll be busy with products and meetings. He won't have time for me."

"If he truly loves you then he'll make time."

"He didn't before."

"Some times people get wrapped up in their own little world and they need a reality check to bring them back. Trust me on this."

"I don't think so. Now, why don't we get you in your dress?"

Just then Taylor walked in with Faith in her arms. "This little girl has a lot of energy."

"I know it."

"Just letting you know that your mom is talking with the minister and your dad is having a talk with Ahk."

October groaned. "Why does my dad have to say? I hope he isn't giving Ahk a lecture."

"Want me to go spy on them?"

"No, that's all right. I'm sure Ahk will tell me later. So everything is set up, right? The chairs, the decorations, the cake?"

"Oh um, about that." Taylor suddenly looked nervous.

"What? About what? What happened?" October started to panic.

"When the cake was being delivered it…one of the guys weren't paying attention and it fell on the ground."

"What? How could that happen? I knew something as going to go wrong today. I just knew it."

"It's just a cake." Rebecca said.

"It's more then a cake. It's a symbol. Cutting the cake is the first thing we do as husband and wife."

"Doesn't walking down the aisle count?"

"No."

Taylor started laughing. "Don't worry. The cake is fine. I'm just messing with you."

"Why would you do that?"

"To watch you panic. It's amusing."

October sighed, feeling better that the cake wasn't ruined after all. "Glad I can entertain you."

In the men's room Ahkmenrah was feeling just as nervous not only because this was his wedding day, but also October's father was giving him a lecture.

"And if you ever hurt her I will be coming after you."

"You don't have to worry about that. I wouldn't do anything to hurt October."

"You better not. I don't want to see my granddaughter hurt either. If you do anything to them I will make your life a living hell." He then smiled. "Welcome to the family."

Ahkmenrah tried to manage a smile, but it was hard when he was just threatened. Then he goes and smiles after that. He now knew where October got her mood swings.

October's dad turned to Larry. "And you sir need to get your priorities straight. You had a great girl and you had to care more about your business then her. Take it from me, hold onto what you have. Rebecca's a wonderful catch and you're missing out. Well, I'll see you both later." Then he left.

"He's scary." Ahkmenrah said.

Larry nodded in agreement.

"I didn't think he was that bad." Nick said.

"That's because he was threatening you."

"Or glaring." Larry added.

Soon everyone was ready. All the guests were seated, (she had invited somepeople from school) Ahkmenrah was standing up at the alter, and October waited nervously to walk down the aisle. October only had Rebecca as her maid of honor. Faith was the flower girl and Taylor was helping her. When October heard the music start she took a deep breath then started walking to her future husband.

When Ahkmenrah saw October he had to remind himself to breath. She was wearing a beautiful white dress that flared out at the bottom. Her hair was pulled back in to two French braids. She looked so beautiful.

October smiled at him when she got to the alter. "So, we're finally here." October said.

"Yes, we are. Don't leave me alone with your dad."

October laughed. "Ok I won't."

The wedding went just like the two of them imagined and October was happy that nothing went wrong. After the two of them said "I do" she felt happier then she had ever been in her life.

"So, since I married a king does that make me a queen?" October asked as they walked down the aisle.

"You've always been a queen to me."

The newly weds made their way to the cake. October hadn't forgotten about what Taylor did and was planning on getting her back. Together the two of them cut two pieces of cake. October had explained to Ahkmenrah about weddings in modern times. They were different then from his time.

After they took the first bite of the cake everyone else took a slice. October was very happy. She felt that her life was finally complete. Ahkmenrah was also happy. A few years ago he would have never dreamed he would be married and have a child. He thought for him he would be impossible.

When October was done eating her cake, her mom pulled her aside.

"He seems like a nice man. I can see that you both are very happy."

"We are happy. I know we didn't do things right. We did have baby first, but-"

"I'll let you know a secret. I was pregnant with Rebecca when your father and I got married."

"Really? I didn't know that."

"Not a lot of people do. They think it happened on our honeymoon. Are you two going on a honeymoon?"

October shrugged. "We haven't really discussed it."

"How often do you two get alone time? It's a good chance for Faith to have a sibling."

"Mom, Faith is only seven months old. I think we are going to wait awhile before we think of any more kids."

Just then Taylor came running up to them. "Hey October, when are you going to throw the bouquet?"

"Now I suppose. Someone seems to be anxious." October laughed.

There were five girls waiting for October. October shook her head as she picked up the bouquet. She turned her back to them then threw the bouquet over her head. She then turned around to see who caught it.

All the girls reached to catch it, but it went right over them. Rebecca was standing in the back with her arms crossed. She didn't want to participate in this, but Taylor dragged her over. The bouquet landed in her arms. She looked at it with surprise as the others groaned. Taylor went up to her and congratulated her for catching it.

"That's a sign, you know?" October said as she walked up to her sister.

"You keep thinking that."

"I will."

Rebecca looked at the bouquet then at Larry. She didn't deny that she still had feelings for him, but she didn't think their relationship would work.

Soon the area was cleaned up and most of the guests had left. October's parents said they would see her tomorrow then left. Rebecca and Taylor had quickly left and wouldn't answer when October asked where they were going in such hurry.

Larry then led October and Ahkmenrah to the car, saying he was their chauffer. He opened the door for them and made sure October's dress wasn't shut in the door. After a few minutes of driving they arrived at the museum.

October and Ahkmenrah were surprised at what they saw when they walked in. The lobby was decorated in signs that said Congratulations newly weds. Neither October nor Ahkmenrah was expecting the museum to put up decorations.

"Welcome to the museum Mr. and Mrs. Pharaoh." Jed said.

"You guys didn't have to do this." October said.

"We wanted to." Sacagawea said.

"Thank you." Ahkmenrah said.

For the next few hours everyone was celebrating the newly weds. There was music, dancing and a few games. After awhile October saw that Faith was getting tired. She was cradling her daughter in her arms as Faith's eyes slowly started closing.

"I think we should head home." October said to her new husband. "It's been a long day for her."

Ahkmenrah nodded. "Yes, it has."

"I'll take her home." Rebecca said.

October looked at her sister. "Why?"

"I'll be leaving soon so I want to spend time with my niece as much as I can before I go."

October raised an eyebrow, not believing a word her sister spoke. Rebecca went over to October and carefully took Faith.

"But-"

"You can part with your daughter for a few minutes."

"Come on, I'll take you home." Larry said.

October looked back at Faith as she walked out of the museum. She had a feeling that something was going on, but she didn't know what.

It didn't take them long to get to their destination, but when October looked out the window she saw that they were not at home.

"Larry, where are we?"

"We are at your hotel for the night."

Larry got out and opened the door for October and Ahkmenrah.

"Why are we at a hotel?" Ahkmenrah asked.

"We thought it would be nice for you two to be alone on your wedding night so we paid for a room for you. Rebecca and I will watch Faith for you."

"That's very nice of you all."

Larry smiled. "We thought you might like it."

Larry gave them the key and told them what room they were in then left the newly weds. When they got to the room both was surprised at what was in there. There was a king sized bed with a hot tub in the room. On the table were a vase of flowers, balloons that said Congrats newly weds, and a bottle of champagne.

"I can't believe they did this." October said.

"It was nice of them. And since they went through all this trouble to give us a night free you aren't going to be worrying about Faith the whole time, are you?"

It was true that every time the two of them had a night free, October would always be worrying about Faith and wondering if she was doing all right. She had to call at least three times to check up on her.

"I promise this will be a you and me night. I won't even call to see how she's doing."

"Good. She's in safe hands."

"I know."

Ahkmenrah kissed October. "What do you say we get this night started?"

October smiled. "Sounds good to me. I've been wanting to get out of this dress."

Rebecca was at October's house and she just put Faith down to sleep. She was standing in the doorway as she watched her niece sleep. She soon heard the door open, but she didn't turn to se who it was. She had a guess.

"They were surprised." Larry said when he walked next to Rebecca.

"I'm sure they weren't expecting that." Rebecca didn't take her eyes off Faith.

"Rebecca-"

"Don't say anything, Larry." Rebecca turned towards him. "I don't want to hear it."

"Rebecca, you have to know that I regret what I did…or didn't do. I feel really bad for it. Please just give me a second chance. I promise I'll-"

"Larry, just shut up and kiss me."

Larry smiled as he closed the gap between him and Rebecca, his lips meeting hers.


And I shall leave the rest to your imagination. ^_^
