Bride of Anubis

She giggled, "Sorry, I am so used to saying it like that."

Neftertari smiled, "It's okay." She took her hand, "I want to be in my wedding."

"Soon...mother. Just be patient. In less in two days it will be announced and everything we be in full swing." she smiled.

She smiled, "Mother... I do like the sound of that." She chuckled

"You still seem too young to be called mother." she giggled

"Well I should have already been married by now and have my own children, but my own mother didn't want to let me go," She chuckled

"I do not blame her, you are sweet and kind, loving. Why would she let you go?" she smiled.

"Maybe to meet you and Anubis." She smiled.

SHe laughed, "True...very true."

She patted her hand, "Well I best be getting dressed."

"Well dry off first." Femi got the drying cloth.

She smiled, "I will."

In the underworld...

Anubis was making good time with the souls he did not judge, "You are clean, you may enter." the sad thing was that most of the souls he has seen, were children.

"I am glad Nefertari is not here..." but he knew one day she would have to see the underworld.

Thoth nodded, "You know... I was thinking about what goddess Nefertari would become and I thought patron of children and orphans. We do not have a goddess for that yet."

"she would take the name Anput to the human world." he said, measuring the next heart.

he nodded, "But what do you think of my suggestion."

He turned to Thoth, "I think it suits her."

Thoth smiled, "I thought so."

"To the humans she will be called Anput, wife of Anubis and goddess of protection of children and orphans." he liked the sound of that.

Thoth smiled, "You should tell her when you go home."

"I think I will." he answered, looking at the scales.

Thoth scribbled in his book, "I think she will like it. Don't you?"

"If it has to do with children, yes she will like it."

Thoth smiled, "You have found a marvelous woman. I hope one day I find the same."

"You will." he smiled, "Your heart is clean, you go on into paradise." the soul walked on.

He gave his last request to Thoth and went on to the after life.

After a LONG while, Anubis and Thoth finally caught up with what they were behind with, "I am exhausted."

"As am I." Thoth sighed.

"Well, if there is nothing more, I will retire for the day." he said just about to vanish.

Thoth nodded, "Go to your lover." He teased

"Betrothed would be the word thank you. We have not gotten that far." he said.

"Are ya sure?" He teased wagging his eye brows.

"Yes I am sure. She wishes for me to abstain until we are married." he sighed a bit.

Thoth chuckled, "I just tease my good man. I'll see you tomorrow."

Anubis smiled, "See you again soon Thoth." he vanished.

Nefertari was waiting for him at home. She smiled when she saw him come in, "Welcome back."

"Hello, how are you?" he pulled her to him and kissed her.

She blushed, "I am fine, thank you."

"Well, we caught up with everything from the other day. SO I have free time for you." he smiled.

She chuckled, "Well then how was work?"

"Absolutely tiring." he confessed.

She smiled, "It couldn't be that bad."

"Well one day you will see when you visit the underworld. Oh, in speaking of which, Thoth and I have thought of a title for you when you become my wife..." he smiled.

She blinked curiously, "What would that be?"

"Anput, goddess of the protection of children and orphans?" he smiled, "What do you think?"

She smiled, "I like it."

"Well....until Osiris anoints you after we are married, that is what you can bring to him." he leaned his forehead to hers.

She blushed, "I will. Not now, but soon."

"Of course. That is after we marry, we have plenty of time."

She smiled, "I cant wait till then."
