"Are you here?" I asked through the cell phone. I looked into the throne room, and spotted Caspian and many other guests waiting. Today was my wedding day and my maid of honor was late.
"Well it's very difficult to find this Narnia you speak of when you don't know which closet to go through." Emily retorted.
"Well hurry, it's about to start." I ended the call and placed it back in the room. There I spotted myself and I exhaled, placing a hand over my bulging belly. Dressed in white with an empire waist so the baby can breathe, and one strap for the right shoulder, I looked nervous.
"Two more months." I said rubbing my belly. I felt the baby response by thumping my hand and I grinned.
"And she is here!" Emily announced herself. She was dressed in a dark purple floor length gown with a ruched waist. Her hair was pinned up in a French twist which I thought was elegant.
"How did you know where Narnia was?" I asked.
"Yes, but you didn't tell how to get there. You hit your head, I found the closet. Win for me." She responded.
"Well, fix my zipper. It's itchy for some reason." I turned around, swiping my hair to the side to let her see better.
"It's the tag sweetie. There we go." I pushed back the hair and looked in the mirror.
"Here I go." I said shakily. When I stepped out and waited at the doors, I didn't walk until I hear Trufflehunter announce my presence.
"And presenting Ava Rayne." The doors opened and I walked down the aisle to Caspian. I smiled and gave a nod to the guests. Lilliandil was there also, with her father. Mrs. Buttercup was with her husband and blowing her nose.
I looked at Caspian and spread a smile to him. When I reached Caspian, I placed my right hand into his as he took a ring and slipped it on my ring finger. I did the same to him and he gave me a kiss on the cheek, causing the flower girl to giggle.
"King and Queen of Narnia," Trufflehunter announced. Everyone stood up, applauding and cheering for us.
I instantly cooed when Arabella laughed at me. I couldn't stand watching her be alone in the crib so I brought her over to my bed and watched as her big brown eyes wander around the room.
"You may look like your daddy, but you get your personality from me." I said, rubbing my nose against hers. She grabbed my cheeks and I pretended to eat it off. Only two months old and already a little curious hyper thing. Her eyes recognized me and gave a toothless smile.
Thank Aslan, she had brown hair when she was born because it would accentuate her cuteness. Arabella made an attempt to pull the socks off but I gently shook my head and use my fingers for her to grasp it instead.
"You'll catch a cold." I said.
"Alright, now the little baby must be hungry." Mrs. Buttercup said coming in, carrying bottle. I watched as Arabella squealed, seeing Mrs. Buttercup and kicked her legs.
"Happy to see me?" Mrs. Buttercup said, chuckling as she hand me a bottle. I picked up Arabella in one arm and fed her milk.
"I can't believe how big she's grown." I said, shaking my head.
"She may be born one month early, but she's showing signs of development." Arabella had been born premature one month early. No one knew why so I asked Aslan if he could make Caspian and I visit my home to let the doctors check it out. The doctor explained that due to my excessive worrying that the baby will be born bornstill this cause me to go into stress and causing Arabella to be born premature.
The doctor continued on to explain that in the near future, Arabella will develop some problems later but since she is still a baby, we weren't so sure yet. Caspian decided now was the time to give Arabella a gift from Lilliandil as a congratulation of the birth of Arabella.
It was two bracelets, small chopped wood, the size of a pepper and inside the wood were small starts that one put on, Arabella wouldn't go sick. She has been doing find and showed signs of interest of her surroundings and the people she sees.
"I'll fetch you something to eat." Mrs. Buttercup said leaving the room. Arabella eyes started to get droopy, and I set her down in the crib, placing a blanket over her. Bending down, I kissed her chubby cheeks and turned the mobile many times to let it play lullabies for her to sleep.
When Caspian arrived in New York, he was overwhelmed by the mass city. Dressed in normal clothes, he could blend in with the crowd. But I showed him around, pointing out interests. I even took him to eat ice cream which he loved so much, he bought a lifetime supply which I thought was hilarious.
But I brought him to New York to get an ultrasound to what the baby's gender was. I'll never forget the look on Caspian's face when he saw Arabella on the monitor. It was the look of awe and pure love. After we were done, he immediately talked to Arabella telling her to make him proud and happy.
The door knocked softly, and Caspian's head poked through.
"Is she asleep?" He whispered.
"Just now." I whispered back. After I moved into Caspian's room, my room was turned over for Mr. and Mrs. Buttercup so they could be closer to us. Lilliandil would come and visit often, wanting to see Arabella and then leave, leaving small presents for her to play. Caspian closed the door softly and crept over to the crib.
He had a smile on as he stroke her hair with the back of his hand. Arabella stirred and turned her head the other way. Caspian then took the small mittens and placed it on her hands to not let her scratch herself.
"Caspain," I said when he laid down beside me.
"Mmmm?" Was his answer.
"Did you remember what I said when we were on the battlegrounds fighting the Witch?"
"You said the same reason if I was in your place. And you died. What is the reason then?" Caspian asked, looking at me.
"You would die if wanting to save me." He leaned over and planted a kiss.
"But you're here now aren't you?"
"Yes, I couldn't ask for more." I was home.
Yea I decided to update the final chapter in foreign affairs. WOOOOOT ITS FINISHED I'm so happy =')
