There was a celebration for the united kingdoms. Caspian was crowned as King of the Telmarines, and we got to celebrate with him. It was a happy day for all of us. Peace had been reestablished, and our duty in Narnia had been complete.

"Now, what is it you wanted to tell me?" Peter asked later that night. We were in our chamber, looking at the light of the fireworks. It was a beautiful sight. Peter pulled me by the waist and I placed my hands on his upper arms.

"I-I'm not sure how to say it." I told him. "I should have told you a while ago, but I never got around to it, there was so much going on." He cradled my face and kissed my forehead.

"You can tell me. It's all over. We're safe." I nodded.

"I-I….I'm pregnant." I whispered. He looked at me. "We're going to have a baby." He turned away and leaned against the railing. A lump rose in my throat. "You're not happy." It wasn't a question.

"Just let it settle." He told me. We were silent for a minute, practically refusing to look at each other. But when he did look over at me, his eyes dancing, and he was smiling. He picked me up and spun me around. "We're having a baby!" He whispered excitedly. I smiled wildly.

"You're ok with it?"

"Of course I am! I'm going to be a father! A little sooner than I expected, but that's ok!" We started laughing. "Wow. We're going to be parents." I nodded.

"How far along are you?" I shrugged.

"I think almost eight weeks." He smiled.

"That's why you've been sick. And why you didn't want me fighting." I nodded. "Wow. I'm an idiot." I laughed. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't want to be wrong, and then when we got to Narnia, we had all these things to fix. It wasn't the right time. We got caught up in a huge battle, and there was too much anxiety."

"You fought while you were pregnant."

"Well, it's not like I can take the child out while I fight."

"You shouldn't have fought."

"But I'm fine. And the baby is fine, and everything's all right now. I didn't want to fight, but I knew I had to. Narnia needed me, and I had to do my duty. Just like you had to do yours." Peter was still smiling.

"We're having a baby!" I laughed.

The next day was difficult. Peter, Susan and I got up thinking everything would go on smoothly. But it didn't. Aslan needed to talk to us. We were told that we wouldn't be returning to Narnia after today. We had to go back to Finchley later this afternoon. We had sat and talked about us returning to Narnia. For Susan and Peter, it was the last time they would see Narnia. It was known that Lucy and Edmund would return, but Aslan was quite uncertain about my future here. It didn't exactly put any of us at ease.

"I have a question." We were walking around the palace grounds. "Why didn't I get pregnant last time we were in Narnia, but I got pregnant back in Finchley?"

"You were not supposed to start a family here in Narnia. That is not the path you will lead. You and Peter will start a family in England." Aslan replied. I nodded. Peter and I were holding hands, walking next to Aslan. Susan was walking on the lion's left. "I know how much you all want to stay here. But Caspian needs to learn on his own. He needs to grow." We understood. But we didn't like how things were being left. Susan was taking it badly.

"Your Majesty?" We stopped upon seeing the newly crowned king. "We are ready." He had hesitated when he saw Susan's tears, but he didn't ask about it. I knew Susan had taken a liking to the young man, and it hurt her to know that it would never go anywhere. I tightened my grasp around Peter as I thought how lucky I was to have him, knowing he wasn't going anywhere now. "Everyone has assembled." We made our way to a large tree where the Telmarines had gathered. Caspian began his speech as king.

"Narnia belongs to the Narnians, just as it belongs to man. Any Telmarines who want to stay and live in peace are welcome. But for any of you who wish, Aslan will return you to the home of our forefathers."

"It's been generations since we left Telmar." A man said.

"We are not referring to Telmar." Aslan spoke up. "Your ancestors were seafaring brig its, pirates run aground on an island. There, they found a cave, a rare chasm that brought them here from their world. The same world as our kings and queens." Murmurs shot through the crowd. "It is to that island I can return you. It is a good place for any who wish to make a new start." No one spoke at first.

"I will go." One f Mirez's men stated. "I will accept the offer." Caspian bowed his head in respect.

"So will we." Mirez's widowed wife added. She took her newborn child and followed the soldier through the tree.

"Because you have spoke first, your future in that world shall be good." Aslan promised. They three people walked through the tree, disappearing. That caused exclamations to erupt in the crowd.

"Sir, if it can be of service, I will take eleven mice through with no delay." The noble mouse stood up.

"We'll go." Peter told the people.

"We will?" Edmund asked.

"Come on. Time's up." I told them. "After all, we're not needed here anymore." Peter bestowed Caspian his sword.

"I will look after it until you return." The young king promised.

"I'm afraid that's just it." Susan said. "We're not coming back." A hurt look fell on the king's face. And Susan looked away.

"We're not?" Lucy wondered.

"You two are." Peter told his youngest siblings. "At least, I think he means you two."

"But why?" Lucy demanded to know. "Did they do something wrong?" I smiled.

"Quite the opposite, dear." Aslan assured Lucy. "But all things have their time."

"It's time for Peter and me to start out family." I told her. She looked over at us as I leaned my head against my husband's shoulder. Then I placed a hand on my lower belly and their eyes got wide. Caspian looked astonished and I just laughed ad their expressions. Susan had already heard, but it was amusing to see her reaction to the way I announced it. Aslan just looked amused.

"Your brother and sisters have learned all they can from this world." Aslan explained to Lucy. "Now it's time for them to live in their own."

"It's all right, Lu. It's not what I thought it would be. But it's all right. One day, you'll see it too. Come on." Peter interlaced our fingers, and I took Lucy's hand. Edmund followed, but Susan was procrastinating. We respectfully bowed to all those who had helped us achieve peace again. Lucy and our DLF couldn't help themselves. They had to hug.

"I'm glad I came back." Susan began talking to Caspian.

"I wish we had more time together." He admitted.

"It would never have worked anyway." She told him.

"Why not?"

"Because I'm 1,300 years older than you." They both chuckled. Susan began to make her leave, but she felt the urge to do something I never thought I'd see her do. She disregarded all logic, and pulled Caspian into a kiss. I smiled at the heart wrenching moment. Peter pulled me into him.

"I'm sure when I'm older I'll understand." Lucy whispered to us.

"I am older, and I don't think I want to understand." Edmund responded, causing Peter and me to laugh. But the mood grew somber again as we made our way through the tree. I looked back one more time at the second home I might never see again. The land I cherished, the people I fought for, and the mighty lion that I had hope in.

But knowing that I'd be in my familiar home again, the people who fought for me, and vice versa, and the man whom I had hope in. That was enough to push me to follow my family. And once again, we were at the train station, in the uniform our schools had us wear. We got on the train, and a dorky looking boy was calling for Susan, though was under the influence that her name was Lois.

"Well, he's no Caspian." I murmured in her ear. She sent me a look, but then she laughed, causing all of us to erupt in laughter. It was peaceful again.


And there you have it, I'm finally finished. Wow, that took way longer than it should have. Again, I apologize for that. You all have been so wonderful to have finished this with me. Please review or message me and let me know what you think. Also, because there's a third movie, I'm sorely tempted to write about Ellie's adventures in that one. What do you think? Should I do it or not?
