Here is the final chapter of the story! R&R!

Chapter 8: Repentance

There was silence between Caspian and Aslan. Caspian didn't exactly know what to say to the lion. Aslan was the first to break the silence.

"You seem troubled, Caspian,"

"Yes, sir."

More silence.

"What troubles you?"

"Well…uh…I don't think anyone likes me here," Caspian stuttered.

Aslan simply kept walking.

"But that's not the real reason I'm upset,"Caspian added.

A hint of something like a growl came out of Aslan.

"I…I made…I…I made Susan pregnant," Caspian stammered out.

The pair had come to a stop. Aslan looked up at Caspian.

"And you feel…ashamed," Aslan asked.

Caspian nodded, averting his eyes to the floor.

"This is good, Caspian."

Caspian looked back up.

"It is?"

"Yes. You see, child, you admitted what you did was wrong. When someone admits something they did was wrong, they are on the road to repentance."

"I don't seem to understand."

"Sit down, Caspian."

Caspian sat down, his knees to his chest.

"When someone does something wrong they usually feel ashamed. When they admit they are wrong, they are facing the problem. The next step would be to ask the person or people you have hurt to forgive you, for what you did wrong. Then you are on your way to repentance. You are repenting for what you did wrong."

Caspian slowly nodded.

"I'm beginning to understand. When I admitted what I did to Susan was wrong to you, which is good?"

The majestic lion nodded.

"And now I should ask Susan and everyone else I've hurt to forgive me?"

Again, Aslan nodded.

"But how does that help?"

"When you do something wrong but don't admit it you are adding sin to your life. Soon, you add more and more things till you can't get out of it."

"I see what I must do now."

Caspian looked deep into the lion's eyes.

"Aslan, did you know what I did?"

The lion kept looking straight in Caspian's eyes.

"I suppose you did," Caspian sighed.

"Now, I think you should return to your friends."

Caspian nodded.

"Will, you come to?"

"I have other business I must attend."

"I see. Thank you, Aslan." And with that, Caspian stood up and headed back to the hall.

"What is taking them so long," Peter said, pacing the floor.

"Maybe it's something important," Lucy said.

Peter glared.

"You're too impatient, Peter," Edmund said.

Peter continued to glare.

Susan sighed; looking in the direction that Caspian and Aslan had went.

Caspian slowly entered the room. Four pairs of eyes turned to him.

"Where's Aslan?" Lucy asked.

"He said he had to leave," Caspian informed them.

He swallowed. Asking for forgiveness was going to be harder than he thought.

"Umm…Susan, can I talk to you for a second?"

Susan nodded, following Caspian a little ways out of the room.

"What is it?" she asked.

Caspian took in a deep breath.

"I want to ask for your forgiveness."

Susan stared at him.

"It was wrong for me to…do what I did that night," He finished.

Susan wrapped him in a hug.

"I'm sorry too. It was my fault."

"Hardly," Caspian snorted.

Susan smiled, taking in a deep breath.

"This is going to be hard," she softly said.

"What would happen if you married me?"

Susan pulled back, eyes wide.

"What did you say?"

"What would happen if you married me?" Caspian repeated.

Susan shook her head.

"I don't understand…" she faltered.

Caspian let out a breath.

"Look, the child in there is mine. Wouldn't it be better if we married?"

Susan pursued her lips.

"Logically, yes it would be better," she said slowly.

"But would you want to do it," the both said in unison. They laughed.

"For me, yes," Caspian said. 

"Really?" Susan questioned.

Caspian nodded, hugging her. Susan sighed against him.

"Now we have to break it to your siblings," Caspian added.

Susan smiled.

"I think they'll like it."

When they said the news, Lucy was ecstatic, Edmund nonchalant, and Peter turned green. When Caspian added, asking for forgiveness, Peter passed out. Edmund and Lucy both forgave him, while trying to revive Peter. When he came to, he couldn't really remember Caspian saying anything about it, so it was forgive and forget for them.

Caspian smiled at Susan. Aslan had been right. He felt so much better now. Then again, he guessed Aslan was always right. Susan and he had decided to get married as soon as possible, before the child was born. For once he had done something right.

Susan leaned back against Caspian. Things had been so crazy, on how it all played out. All for her one night with a king.
