Rameses looked down at her and raised an eyebrow at her words. Nakoma never would say something like that to him. She had been bugging him for days about Narissa and now she was just letting it go? His gaze moved back down to the ring on her finger. She was right...it looked exactly like the one his father would tell him about. But how did Nakoma get it? It had been buried with his grandmother. A part of him was relieved that he could leave but now...now he didn't want to. Why did he want to stay all of a sudden? Rameses was brought out of his thoughts as he suddenly heard clapping behind him and he turned to see Thomas walking out into the courtyard. His muscles tensed and Rameses instinctively took Narissa's arm, pulling her protectively behind him. He still remembered everything Thomas had done and he planned on making that son of a bitch pay.
Thomas grinned as he walked down the steps, shaking hands with his guests as he made his way through. Now that he knew Nakoma was here, surely her boyfriend and Rameses weren't too far behind. That only meant that he'd have to get through this wedding much faster than he anticipated. His gaze moved along the lawn and froze when he saw Rameses staring directly at him. A skirt of white behind him caught his attention and then he saw Narissa. His eyes flashed red as he made his way over to them, ignoring anyone that tried to speak to him as he made his way there. "Narissa, my love, why don't we get on with the ceremony. I believe some of our guests are getting a little...restless. They don't know their place." His words sliced through the air as he stared at Rameses. Rameses tensed as Thomas approached them but the moment he called Nakoma by Narissa's name, everything started to add up. He had been talking to Narissa the whole time....not Nakoma. That was why she was trying to get him to leave. Before he could second guess himself, Rameses spun around and planted his lips on Narissa's, holding her body to him like their lives depended on it. The haze that had been hovering over him for the past few days faded and the memories flooded back to him. Each memory that had a faded figure of his daughter's mother was replaced with Narissa just like it should have been. He pulled back and grinned down at her, caressing her cheek with one hand. "Run." Rameses slid his hand down to hold hers and they dashed from the courtyard and into the mansion. He couldn't leave Clopin or Nakoma behind so he honed in on their location, following it as fast as he could. Thomas cursed as they suddenly bolted from the courtyard and he tried to race after them but all the guests crowded him and got in his way.
---
Nakoma had been pulling at the door, trying to get it open but it wouldn't budge. Her heart pounded in her ears as tears started to fall down her face. She was panicking again...she couldn't get out to warn anyone that Thomas knew they were here. She had blown everything and now she was going to lose her sister again. Suddenly she heard a voice behind her and she spun around to see Clopin. "Clopin! He knows! We need to get her out of here and fast before he forced her to marry him. I ran into him outside the bathroom and he...he thought I was her until he kissed me and he realized I wasn't..." Nakoma rushed her words, her fingers clutching to Clopin as he tried to free them from the room. Though as he was trying, she heard something click in the room and a thick fog slowly started to seep into the room. Her eyes widened as she instantly smelled something off about it and it burned her nose and throat. She instantly started coughing, trying to use some of the fabric from her dress to cover her nose and mouth but just from the small amount she had breathed in, she was already feeling lightheaded. Nakoma stumbled back, having to use the wall for support before she slid down onto her knees.

Narissa felt her heart hammer in sudden fear and terror as someone started clapping behind them and she glanced back to see Thomas there. She swallowed hard and tried to protest as Rameses pushed her back, she was absolutely terrified. "He doesn't remember who I am Thomas...please just let him leave." Narissa begged, hoping that Rameses would be able to leave unscathed, she honestly didn't want to see him get hurt. She looked up though as Rameses suddenly whirled around and then he was kissing her. It had been so long since she had felt his lips against hers, and an eager sound escaped her as she pressed herself against him. She completely forgot their very surroundings as she kissed him hungrily and then just as suddenly as it had started it was over. A shaky sigh escaped her as she stared up at him with her body trembling. She smiled then at his words and as soon as he took her hand she ran with him. It was a bad decision on so many levels but she couldn't bring herself to care just then. It had been so long since she had been touched by Rameses let alone actually kissed him and she had missed it. She nearly froze though when he started leading them back towards the Mansion and then into the dungeon. "We can't go here...the entire place is full of traps!" She said as she tugged on his hand to get him to slow down. "Unless of course you know where they've been placed." She said eventually and let out a breath as she sent her magic out and honed in on the traps, disabling them as they ran past them. Her steps flagged as they ran, but she didn't care just then as she felt a presence she hadn't felt in too long. They burst into the dungeon and Narissa let out another pulse of magic to stop the gas, and then a breeze rippled through the dungeon dissipating the gas. She was exhausted but she didn't care when she rested her eyes on Nakoma. "Yo...you're alive? I...I thought you were dead." She whispered stumbling towards the cell doors with her eyes wide and tears filling them as she stared at her sister disbelievingly. The corset she wore suddenly felt far too constricting, as she was starting to feel faint. "We need to get you out of there." She said and concentrated once again to set the cell door open so her sister could leave. Clopin immediately ran in and wrapped his arms around Nakoma. "I was so worried about you." He whispered against her hair before he led her back outside.

Nakoma had just been about to hit her breaking point when the smoke in the room suddenly started to dissipate. She gasped for air, her throat still burning from the gas but at least she could breathe. Then she heard her sister's voice and her gaze shot up to see Narissa standing before her. "Narissa...thank the gods." She breathed and leaned into Clopin as he wrapped his arms around her. Her hands moved to caress her stomach as she immediately worried about her child. "Clopin...the baby...." She whispered but before she could get to her feet, she saw Thomas running down the steps towards them. Rameses spun around and his eyes flashed red but he didn't have much time to react as Thomas sent him flying into the cell with Nakoma and Clopin. The door slammed shut and locked again, leaving the three of them locked up and Narissa out on her own. "That was not a wise move my love...You should hear everyone talking. Was this your plan all along? Agree to marry me yet leave me at the alter for this...this idiot?" He growled and gestured towards Rameses. His hand shot forward and slapped her across the face so she fell to the ground. "And now they get to watch you pay the price for disobeying me." Thomas growled before his hands gripped the top of her dress, practically ripping it from her body. Nakoma screamed, trying to get to her feet but a pain in her stomach stopped her and she sank back down to her knees, clutching Clopin's arm. She had been putting so much stress on this child just within the past few weeks that she worried that she could lose it but she couldn't watch her sister being hurt like this. Rameses growled and tugged at the bars, trying to get it open but nothing worked. "Touch her and I swear to the gods that I will murder you!" His eyes flashed white as he tried to fling open the bars but Thomas' magic was too strong for him in that moment.

Narissa jerked as Thomas was suddenly flung into the cell with Clopin and Nakoma. She whirled around to see Thomas striding towards her and she immediately shrank back with a terrified look on her face. "No." She whispered and then cried out as Thomas slapped her across the face. She let out a pained sound as she landed on the ground. The whole side of her face burned from where Thomas had struck her. At his words she turned deathly pale and looked up at him in horror, "No please!" She begged and flinched as he tore the whole upper part of her dress open. "Stop! Thomas, I'm pregnant! If you rape me...you'll hurt our child! Please you can't do that...I don't want to lose another child. I was going to tell you tonight...please don't do this." She whispered tears streaming down her face as she stared up at him. Her whole body felt extremely cold from the breeze that still lingered in the dungeon, and she hated how the lingerie she had picked out was now clearly visible to everyone. "If you have a shred of decency at all you wouldn't put our child's life at risk. I know you wouldn't." She said hoping that she was right. Of course she still wasn't entirely sure if she was pregnant, but she knew the signs well enough and she was desperate at this point. She hated that Rameses had to be there to hear this...Gods she'd never wanted to carry any other child but his. And yet now she carried Thomas's child, just like how Thomas had wanted her too. She knew that had been something he had wanted, ever since she had had a child with Rameses.
--
Clopin sent soothing energy through Nakoma at her words. The baby was fine, scared but fine and he immediately set about trying to calm their child down. Nakoma needed to calm down, but with how things were going that was becoming less and less likely. He looked up as Thomas walked in and glared at him, he would have tried attacking him but he had to take care of Nakoma. Their child's life was in danger and he needed to take care of her, he helped Nakoma as she sank to the ground and wrapped an arm around her. "Just don't look." He whispered hating himself for saying as much as Thomas proceeded to rip the whole upper part of the gown right off of Narissa. All the while he kept sending soothing and healing energy to their child, doing what he could to relieve the stress Nakoma was currently under. He looked up though at Narissa's words and his heart sank, if she was telling the truth then he knew Rameses would be devastated.

Thomas froze at her words and stared at her in disbelief. From the look in her eyes, he could tell that she was serious and he slowly lowered his hand, hovering it over her stomach. After a moment, he looked down at her stomach and slowly pulled back. His magic washed over her as he checked and..she wasn't lying. She was pregnant. His gaze flicked over to Rameses and a grin came across his face. "Indeed you are..." Thomas pulled back and stood up, not even bothering to help her up. Rameses stopped yelling the moment he heard Narissa's words but as soon as Thomas confirmed it, his skin paled. He stood still for a moment, staring at them. Thomas seemed to rub it in then and he growled. Before he realized what he was doing, his powers burst forth and the door to the cell ripped open and he lunged at Thomas. Rameses tackled him to the ground, pinning him beneath his weight. "You son of a bitch!" He rained down punches on Thomas' face and body, not even caring that his knuckles would miss every now and then and punch the hard ground beneath them. Thomas only laughed, his chuckles echoing around them. "You're just upset that you left her alone for so long. That we tricked you into thinking she was dead. While you were home getting drunk, she was getting laid." He grinned, dodging most of Rameses punches but occasionally one would hit him. Rameses had lost full control of himself, his eyes flashing white as he continued to beat Thomas.

Narissa felt sick to her stomach as he confirmed her worst fears. She sank back on the ground then as Thomas pulled away from her and then all hell broke out. Rameses burst out of the cell like some kind of avenging angel then and she stared at him with her eyes wide. She'd never seen him lose complete and total control like this before and it was slightly unnerving to witness. Her whole body shook as Rameses kept throwing punches and then Ruby appeared right next to her. Ruby scanned the scene with a dark frown and then snapped her fingers so that Rameses slumped over unconscious. Narissa cried out and reached for him only to get pulled back as Ruby snagged a hand through Narissa's curls. "I leave you alone for a few months and already you've made a quite a mess." Ruby said as she looked over at Thomas with a disgusted look. "I said you could keep her, I never said marry her. Gods you're pathetic, she's not eligible enough to be your bride. She may carry your child, but she's worthless." She spat and shook Narissa so hard it almost seemed like her neck would snap from how forceful she was being. Narissa let out a pained cry and then Ruby tugged her up and into a standing position. "So here's what I have in mind, leave now and I won't kill her or your child. Be careful with how you proceed my son...I know exactly how to get rid of her for good. Even with your blood still in her system." She continued a dark look in her eyes.

Thomas looked up as his mother appeared and kicked Rameses' body off of him. "About damn time you showed up. Where the hell have you been?" He growled and sat up, wiping some of the blood off of his lip with the back of his hand. It had been four months since he saw his mother and now she had to show up at the worst possible time. Though at her words, his gaze darkened and he pushed himself to his feet. "She's mine, I can do whatever I want with her. And I wanted to marry her. Besides, it's not like you ever cared before." He scowled and fixed his tux, ignoring the spatters of blood that coated the fabric. As Ruby threatened Narissa as well as his unborn child, he froze and stared at her. She wouldn't dare....there was no way she would. But of course he didn't want to test her. Thomas frowned and looked down at Rameses' unconscious body and then towards Nakoma and Clopin. "This isn't over." He looked over at Narissa before he snapped his fingers and disappeared in a plume of smoke.
Nakoma finally managed to calm her nerves enough that the pain in her body faded and she gently moved to rest her hand on top of Clopin's. She felt weak but she couldn't show it. They finally found Narissa after all this time that they needed to get her home. Though as Ruby appeared, Nakoma moved closer to Clopin, keeping her gaze downcast in fear that Ruby would try to hurt her child. Ever since she died, Ruby's hold on her was gone but it still worried her. The fact that that woman was still alive felt wrong and now to throw her son in as well...

As soon as Thomas disappeared, Ruby threw Narissa back onto the ground. She collapsed there with a muffled cry and struggled to push herself into a sitting position. Ruby watched her efforts with a cold look before she glanced over at Nakoma and Clopin, a small smirk appearing on her face. She looked back down at Narissa and sighed, "Don't mistake this as kindness, I could care less what my son does with you or your child. However I don't like the idea of him marrying you, he's just as emotionally driven as his own grandfather. Besides you have something that I want and I intend on collecting it in due time." She said with a mysterious smile before she glanced over at Nakoma and her smile widened still further. "I have missed you darling, but I see you're pregnant...how very interesting." She said with a thoughtful look on her face before she shrugged and turned away. "I'd suggest you all should leave...after all who knows when my son will return." She said over her shoulder before she disappeared in a plume of smoke. Narissa watched her leave and then hurried to Rameses's side and tried shaking him awake. Clopin's whole body was extremely tense as he watched Ruby interact with his cousin and then with his fiancee. Finally she left and he felt relieved, "Are you ok?" He asked Nakoma as he helped her stand up once she was ready. He kept his arm wrapped around her to help keep her steady, she was clearly more then a little weak.

Nakoma flinched as she heard Ruby turn her attention to her and her heart sank when she knew that she was pregnant. The last thing she wanted for her child was for something to happen to it like Narissa's but so far, her child seemed to be different. Once Ruby left, she felt herself relax and leaned into Clopin. As Clopin tried to help her stand, her legs shook but she managed to stay upright thanks to his help. "I'm fine...but I don't want to stay here any longer than we have to.." She whispered and held onto him.
Rameses felt someone shaking him and his eyes shot open. He jerked into a sitting position and his eyes scanned the area for Thomas. When he didn't see him, he relaxed only slightly and looked over at Narissa. "Did he hurt you again? Where is he?" He growled but he heard Clopin clear his throat and he bit his lip. Rameses hadn't seen her in months and their first encounter together involved him trying to beat a man to death...He sighed and ran a hand over his head, gently wrapping his arms around her. "I missed you....So much. I love you." He pulled back and cupped her chin before he placed a kiss onto her lips. Once he was sure she was alright, he snapped his fingers and sent them all home and away from Thomas' mansion.

Once they were back home, Narissa immediately looked around her. "Where is she? Can I see her?" She asked and then glanced down at herself as she realized that her lingerie was still showing from when Thomas had torn upper part of her dress. Chel walked in just then carrying her daughter and Narissa's jaw dropped as she stared at her daughter with both love and yearning. She hadn't seen her daughter since she'd first given birth and now seeing her she was all but frozen there on the spot. "Please tell me this isn't a dream." She whispered as she hesitantly moved towards them. She'd dreamt of finally being reunited with her daughter and Rameses for so long and the thought of it not being real terrified her. Chel stared at her in shock, "I thought you were dead." She said faintly. Narissa froze in step then and glanced over at Rameses before she shook her head, "I was forced to stay with Thomas...he made sure I couldn't leave or contact anyone." She said with a pained expression. Chel frowned and then handed Narissa's daughter to her, "She still doesn't have a name." She said gently. Narissa let out a shaky sob as she lifted her daughter into her arms and held her close against her. Her baby let out a sleepy sigh and nuzzled against Narissa's neck causing Narissa to whimper. "This is impossible...any moment now I'm going to wake up." She whispered and pressed a tender kiss on her daughter's head. "She's so beautiful...and she's grown so much. I missed that...I missed everything." She whispered absolute despair clawing it's way through her throat as she stared down at her daughter.

Rameses looked up as Narissa asked where their daughter was and he gestured towards Chel as she walked out. It had been four months since Narissa had seen any of them, their daughter included and it broke his heart that she had missed so much. At least she wasn't crawling yet but those first few months were the most crucial. At Chel's words, Rameses lowered his gaze and bit his lip. They all had thought she was dead...they had every right to after all but Rameses knew he shouldn't have given up so easily. He felt guilty for not fighting for her... After he let Narissa have a moment alone with their daughter, he slowly moved to stand beside her and pressed a gentle kiss on his child's head. "It wasn't your fault Narissa...I'm just glad you are here now. It didn't feel right naming her without you...I've just been calling her princess or tizzy or something silly like that." He joked, a shy smile on his face as he ran his hand over their daughter's head. She had done well filling out thanks to the breast milk Nakoma could give her and she had tiny little rolls along her arms and legs with chubby little cheeks. Any time he checked up on her health, she was perfect. Nothing was ever wrong with her and if he saw the slightest hint of an illness, he healed her right away. Rameses noticed that Narissa was still in her torn wedding dress and he snapped his fingers, giving her a lightweight dress that would be much more comfortable and easy to move around in. "We were lucky to have Nakoma around for her...for some reason, Nakoma was able to feed her somehow. I still haven't figured out how but if it wasn't for that then I don't know what I would have done." Rameses frowned and ran a hand over his head.

Narissa looked down at their daughter with a soft expression. "Tizzy...I like that, can I call her Tzipporah?" She asked almost shyly as she stared down at their daughter. "We can call her Tizzy for short." She added with a little smile. She let out a little sigh of relief as Rameses gave her a lightweight gown, instantly enjoying the freedom it gave her. "Thank you." She murmured and then glanced down at the ring that still sparkled on her ring finger. It felt so cold and strange to still be wearing it and she found herself glaring down at it. She hated Thomas for forcing her to wear it...she hated him for taking away her family, but most of all she hated herself for having been too weak. "I could have fought harder...I could have done more." She whispered feeling tears start to slide down her face as she stared down at her. "Thomas gave Nakoma the breast milk...he said he'd make sure our baby could survive so long as I stayed with him. He threatened to cut off her supply if I ever left...I couldn't risk her dying because of me. Every time I tried to reach you I couldn't...it was like I being blocked." She let out a sob causing Tizzy to slowly wake up and shift in her arms.

Rameses felt a smile grow on his face as Narissa immediately came up with a name and he nodded. "Of course...I love it." He leaned down and gently pressed a kiss on the top of Narissa's head. Though at her words, he frowned and gently took her hand. "You did what you could. If someone threatened out daughter like that...I never would have had a second though to follow like you did. If it kept her safe...I would do anything." Rameses kissed her lips, memorizing how her lips felt against his. Suddenly he heard someone clear their throat and he glanced over to see his father standing there, holding Tizzy's favorite stuffed animal. "Welcome home." He gave Narissa a soft smile before he stepped forward and put the toy in Tizzy's arms so she couldn't get to fussy. His gaze landed on Nakoma and Clopin standing off in the back and he raised an eyebrow. Nakoma looked tired, more so than she usually did and he worried if she was getting ill. "Clopin, why don't you take Nakoma to her room and I will come check on her and the child in a few minutes." He waited until the two of them left before he turned to Rameses, slipping his arm around Chel's waist.
---
Nakoma leaned onto Clopin as he took her to her bedroom. Just watching Narissa being reunited with her daughter made Nakoma so happy yet..nervous. After all, her sister had missed out on the first four months of her child's life and Nakoma had been the one to feed and care for her. She couldn't imagine the pain her sister was going through. Nakoma tried to help Clopin change her out of her gown and was relived as he slipped on her favorite nightdress. She slid her arms around Clopin just so she could feel him next to her. "Thank you...for everything today." She whispered and looked up at him before she leaned up on her tip toes and kissed his lips.

Narissa looked over at Rameses with a strained smile, "You say that but...I could have done more. I could have tried leaving...more then I did." She had of course tried escaping but each attempt had wound up with Thomas discovering her and then raping her. He had also beat her more then once, and she still was afraid that at any minute he was going to show up and drag her back with him. Right when Rameses kissed her she eagerly kissed him back. It had been far too long since she had kissed Rameses after all. She was pulled out of her thoughts when Nero entered and she gave him a small smile as she pulled away from Rameses. Her eyes moved back down to the ring that she wore and she sighed. Before she could change her mind she handed Tizzy over to Rameses, and then tugged the ring off of her finger. "I have something that belongs to you Nero...well technically it belongs to...grandma." She said quietly and held up the ring for Nero to take. "Ruby stole it from her...and Thomas stole it from Ruby. I don't want it...it's not mine and I'd feel-" She broke off with a shudder. "It doesn't belong to me." She said knowing her words were coming out disjointed and she hated it. The ring only held bad memories for her and she wanted nothing to do with it. Chel glanced up at Nero and then pressed a gentle kiss on his cheek, "I'll go check on Nakoma and Clopin." She whispered before she turned and left.
--
Clopin could tell Nakoma was bothered by something as he carried her to their room. Once they were inside he gently set her down and kept one arm wrapped around her to help keep her steady. He didn't make any fuss over having to help Nakoma get out of her dress. His motions were careful and gentle and then when she was ready, he slipped the nightgown over her. He smiled down at her then, "You're welcome, but uh I didn't do a whole lot. All I did was change your clothes." He pointed out with a gentle laugh before he eagerly kissed her back. Then he slipped his arms around her and carried her back to their bed. He had no intention of doing anything with her, but Nakoma was exhausted and she needed her rest. Someone knocked on the door and Clopin got up to open it, "Oh hey mom." He said once he had opened the door and took notice of Chel standing there. His mother didn't even hesitate before she leaned up and hugged him. "Your father is talking to Narissa at the moment and I offered to check up on Nakoma. I hope that's all right." She said as she pulled back and smiled over at Nakoma. Clopin relaxed, "Yeah that's fine, come on in." He said and stepped back to admit her in. Once Chel was inside, she moved towards Nakoma's bedside. "I can already tell you've been under a lot of stress, which means no strenuous activity for the rest of the evening. Your body needs to recover, so I'd recommend plenty of bed rest." She said as she ran a hand over Nakoma's stomach, trying to sense anything else. "Besides that everything looks fine, just take it easy." She said as she gave Nakoma a gentle smile as she withdrew her hand.

Rameses took Tizzy in his arms as Narissa handed her to him and he frowned as he watched her look at the ring. It had been one that he thought about asking his father for when he was going to propose to Narissa but now he didn't want anything to do with it, much like she didn't for sure. Nero blinked as Narissa held out the ring to him and he tensed. He partly didn't even register when Chel kissed his cheek and left the room. After a moment, he reached out and took the ring from her, his gaze never leaving it. It had been centuries since he had seen it. The last time he saw that ring, it had been on his first wife's finger as he buried her body. Nero closed his hand around the ring and slipped it into his pocket. "Thank you for returning it...it deserves to be buried with her. I'll make sure it's returned." He whispered before he ran a hand over his head and cleared his throat. His gaze moved over Narissa as he scanned her body and frowned when he noticed that she was pregnant. By his estimate, almost a month along. That meant it wasn't his sons's... "Is there anything I can do for you Narissa? Memories or reminders that I can get rid of?" Nero asked, crossing his arms across his chest. The thought of terminating a child like that broke his heart but if Narissa wanted it, he would do it. After all, she deserved as much.
---
Nakoma rolled her eyes at his words and gently nudged him. "Just you being near me is helping." She whispered and let him carry her over to the bed. Though a knock at the door caught her attention and a smile came to her face as she saw Chel enter. "That's perfectly fine, come on in." She adjusted herself on the bed so she could be in a semi-seated position and smoothed the blankets out around her. At Chel's words, Nakoma nodded and looked down at her hands. Of course it was obvious she had been under a lot of stress and it was clearly showing on her. But a weight was lifted off her shoulders as Chel said the child was alright and she smiled. "Thank you...I was so worried about the baby." She whispered and pushed some of the hair out of her face. "How was Narissa?
