Years later…

I will miss you', he whispered in her ear while holding his wife tightly on himself. It was her sixth month already. How fast time passed by…

'And you are sure, you won't make it back at the right time?', she asked. Her eyes were full of tears.

'I do not know it yet', he said.

'You have to', she ordered simply.

'I will try it, my love.' Then he gave her a smooth and passionate kiss on the lips. When he looked up again, she was glaring at him. He loved these eyes…

'Do it for him', she said, 'You have to…for him…her…for us.'

The young man smiled and looked down to her stomach. Their child…

'For you', were his last words.

Every time Aravis thought of this memory back then, she felt like someone would try to stab her. Cor…there was a huge battle on the west side of Narnia and they needed every single man they could have. It was a conflict between the giants and the northern persons that broke apart for some unexpected reasons.

The queen looked down to her own stomach. Now it was huge and heavy. She could feel more often now how something moved in there. When she felt that, a smile appeared on her face from time to time. It was her and Cor's child. Their child.

From the man, she used to treat like a crap. Aravis never even thought, she would develop such deep feelings towards him. She always used to think how much she hated this guy. He was so impossible and stubborn. There was no day they did not fight about something, even if the matter was little. Sometimes she could have strangled him for some of them. By the time he grew stronger, so she could barelly hit him properly, what made her feel weak. Every young woman in Anvard and other parts of Narnia tried to come close to him back then…it was the time when the girl suddenly realized that she had fallen for him.

The man she had never expected that one day he would kneel infront of her, admit his feelings and make a proposal to her. Maybe to a pretty woman somewhere in Anvard or who knows…but he chose her. Cor chose the girl, who treated him probably the worst of all people together in his life when they travelled the desert between Tashbaan and Anvard. Of course she had changed back then but she never imagined on spending her whole life next to him. Maybe she did…but not in that way.

Now that they were married, Aravis had the feeling on halucinating everything sometimes. It was so new and different…but so pure. Everytime she saw Cor, she knew it could not be a dream. He made her always feel save. He was the only reason she knew, it was not a halucination.

But he was gone now. Forced to leave her behind the young man was battling for remaining the balance of the northern countries. Sure, he was strong and all that but still…

The queen could not shake the bad feeling - what if something happened to him?
