Prologue:
"I swear I'm never getting pregnant again!"yelled a teenage girl between contractions. She squeezed her boyfriend's hand for reassurance. He shot her a worried glance. "Eddie if I wasn't in labor right now, I'd be murdering you!"
"I know you're in a lot of pain, but think of it this way, if you killed me, you'd have to raise the baby by yourself." He winced as she dug her fingernails into his skin and lety out another blood-curdeling yelp.
"Nina, sweetheart.."said the middle-aged, female doctor. It's time to push okay. 1...2...3...push!"
"Ahh! Eddie I'm going to seriously injure you."
"1...2...3...push!"
"Ah!"
"One more time...push!" The next noise heard in the Denver hospital room was the sound of a small baby boy crying. The couple were left alone in the room to marvel at their child.
"He's beautiful."stated the mother in awe as she ran her fingers through the small tuft of dirty blonde hair on his little head.
"He is isn't he?" responded the father thinking about how he had to travel back to their bording school in England without her.
Nina's POV
"Bentley, are you happy to see Daddy?" I asked my two year old son as we sat in the back of the taxi. Today was Eddie's birthday and as a surprise, me and Bentley were coming to visit him. He meekly nodded in response. I looked out the window at Amun-Ra Boarding School. It hadn't changed one bit since I last saw it two years ago.
"He coming to see someone here?"asked the driver. He was an older man who looked to be in his mid 50s.
"Yeah. My boyfriend goes here. I used to but I decided to stay home these past few years."
"Well it's always good to remember where you started. Never lose touch with your roots." The cab came to a hault. "Well here it is, Anubis house." After helping me with my bags he handed me a card. "If you ever need a ride just give me a call." He smiled getting back inside and driving off.
"Come on Ben, let's go meet our family." I told him as we walked up the steps.
"Hey Neens..."said Alfie walking out of the common room. He suddenly turned around."Neens? Is that really you?" He came over to hug his friend who he hadn't seen in 2 years.
"Yea Alfie, it's me."She laughed.
"Oh my goodness, um...let me go get everyone else they'll want to see you..."He looked down noticing the little boy clutching Nina's leg. "Who is this?"
"Um, Alfie...I'd like you to meet my son, Bentley." Alfie had squatted down and began playing with the small child.
"...Hey little fella...wait your son!"He exclaimed shooting up. Nina nodded nervously in response. "JEROME!"He yelled running down the hall to his room. He began banging on the door frantically as if he was being chased by some sort of monster. He turned back to see his old house mate looking back at him weirdly before a hand reached out and pulled him into the room.
"Well Bentley.."she started as she picked him up. "That's your Uncle Alfie for ya." As she started to walk down the hall, Eddie peeked his head out of his room.
"Nina! Bentley!" he said running towards them. "What are you doing here?"
"Surprise. Heh our son had to see his father sometime. Happy Birthday."she replied happily as he kissed her.
"Hey Ben! Did ya miss me?"He grabbed the toddler from her grasp.
"What's going on down here?" asked Patricia walking slowly and dramatically down the the stairs.
"Just a little family reunion." stated Eddie still playing with his son.
"Nina? Why are you here?"
"Nice to see you too Trixie. Anyways, if you want to know you'll have to wait until dinner..." before Nina could say anything else, Patricia was rushing back up the stairs in record time. "Well she took that...better than expected... I guess."
