Chapter One:
Bella's POV
We were all aboard the Dawn Treader, the finest ship in Narnia. My husband, Caspian, and my three sons, Brady, Collin, and Elyian. Brady and Collin were adopted, and Elyian was born nine months after Caspian and I married. Brady and Collin told Caspian and I themselves that they did not care if they were our true heirs or not, they loved us like we were their actual parents, and I loved them like my own.
Elyian is the little brother they always wanted. Right now he is three years old and a happy bundle of joy, but also full of mischief. He may be young, but he is sneaky and can grab things without people's knowledge.
Brady and Collin would help take care of him and would play with him, and they even found a place that makes stuffed wolf toys and Collin and Brady found ones that look just like their wolf forms. They would argue on who's wolf form Elyian likes better. The thought makes me laugh.
I feel muscular arms wrap around my waist and I know it's Caspian. I lean my head back to rest on his shoulder.
"What's so funny?" He asked me.
"Just thinking of the time Collin and Brady bought those stuffed wolves and had a long argument on who's wolf form Elyian likes better." He chuckled and kissed the top of my head.
"They are going to confuse him someday, and we're going to have to be the ones to set everything back in order." He said. I turned around and saw him smiling. Just as I was about to say something, I heard the Captain yell out.
"Men overboard!" Caspian and I looked over the side of the ship to see three people.
"Edmund!" A familiar voice cried.
"Lucy?" I whispered.
"Lucy!" Edmund called.
"What's happening?" A new voice cried.
"Eustace, calm down!" Edmund yelled to the new person, who I assume is this Eustace.
"Eustace, swim!" Lucy cried. I watched as Caspian and three other men dive off the boat and swim towards them. I saw Edmund swimming away from them, knowing that he didn't know it was Caspian.
"Lucy, stop. It's me!" Caspian said with a smile.
"Caspian!" Lucy exclaimed in joy. "Edmund, it's Caspian." The Just King finally stopped swimming and I smiled.
"It's alright. You're safe now." Caspian called.
"We're in Narnia?" Edmund asked happily.
"Yes, you're in Narnia." the King called as the men helped them and Eustace.
"I don't want to go! I want to go back to England! I'm going back to England!" the blonde cried boy, fighting the man trying to help him. I don't know who he is, but of course Edmund and Lucy do. I'll just ask them later.
Lucy and Edmund were helped up on the boat and I grabbed towels from a crew man.
As they got on deck, I wrapped a towel around Edmund and ruffled his wet hair.
"Hello Ed, long time no see."
"Bella!" He said happily and hugged me tightly. We pulled apart and walked to where Lucy and Caspian were.
"How in the world did you get here?" Caspian asked the Gentle Queen.
"I have no idea." Lucy giggled.
"Caspian!" Edmund called.
Caspian stopped walking, a large smile on his face as he turned to see the Just King again.
He quickly walked over to us.
"Edmund!" he said, pulling him into a manly hug.
"It's great to see you." Edmund said.
"It's great to see you." he said.
"Didn't you call for us?" Lucy asked.
"No. Not this time." Caspian said, shaking his head.
"I didn't either. Who knows who brought you here? Maybe father did and we didn't know." I answered as the two Pevensies looked at me.
"Well, whatever the case, I'm just glad to be here." Edmund said, the smile not breaking from his freckled face.
We were broken from our talk by the sound of someone screaming and turned to see Eustace rolling around on the deck, Reepicheep crawling over him.
"Now calm down, sir." Reepicheep said.
"Get that thing off me! Get that thing off me!" the blonde cried, tossing him off.
Reepicheep skidded few feet away from the boy, landing in front of us, brushing off his fur.
"Reepicheep!" Lucy cried in joy.
"Oh. Your Majesties." Reepicheep smiled happily at the sight of his Edmund and Lucy, bowing before them.
"Hello, Reep." Edmund said, holding the blanket close to his soaked form.
"The pleasure is all mine." the mouse said, touching the red feather in his ear. "But first, what to do about this hysterical interloper?" he asked gesturing to Eustace.
"That giant rat thing just tried to claw my face off!" the blonde cried as he stood up with a red face, pointing at Reepicheep.
"I was merely trying to expel the water from your lungs, sir." Reepicheep called over to him making the boy jump back in shock.
"It talked! Did you see? Did anyone just hear that? It just talked!" He said, shocked and scared.
"He always talks." a member of the crew said.
"Actually it's getting him to shut up that's the trick." Caspian joked, I lightly smacked his shoulder.
"The moment there is nothing to be said, Your Highness, I promise you, I will not say it." Reepicheep swore making the King grin.
"I don't know what kind of prank this is, but I want to wake up right now!" The boy, Eustace demanded. He was still complaining as the noble mouse turned back to us.
"Perhaps we could throw him back?" he suggested. I laughed as Edmund looked to be actually considering it, which made Caspian laugh next to me and wrap an arm around my waist.
"Edmund!" Lucy scolded elbowing her brother.
"I demand to know, just where in the blazes I am?" Eustace cried, twirling around to face each person.
"You're on the Dawn Treader, the finest ship in Narnia's navy." a Minotaur said stepping forward.
Eustace took one look at the Minotaur and fainted; everyone laugh as Caspian removed his arm from around my waist and walked over to the startled Minotaur.
"Was it something I said?" he asked looking to his King with a confused expression.
"See to him, will you?" Caspian said.
"Your Majesty." the Minotaur nodded to him and then picked the blonde haired boy up to bring somewhere to rest.
Caspian ran over to the stairs, and I leaned against the rails of said stairs that he was leaning against.
"Men, behold our castaways, Edmund the Just and Lucy the Valiant, the High King and Queen of Narnia." he introduced.
Everyone on board bowed before the two young royals, making them smile.
Caspian got down from the step he was on and ordered everyone to continue on with their daily duties.
"Elysian, no, come back here." I heard two voices exclaim and in came my baby boy with two belts. He giggled as I picked him up and set him on my hip, looking at the two belts. All of the crew was laughing at the sight before them.
"Oh dear." I said as Brady and Collin came to a stop in front of us while holding their pants up. Brady didn't have his shirt at all and Collin's shirt was on backwards. "Now, may I ask what is going on here, boys?" I asked.
"Um well, when we were feeding Elysian and all, he got all three of us a little messy and our clothes were covered in stray food and all. But while we were changing our clothes, Elysian found our belts and we were chasing him around trying to get them." Brady said.
"And, well, here we are." Collin said. I sighed and looked at my Elysian who was chewing on the belts.
"Can I have these, please?" Elysian took them out of his mouth and gave them to me. "Thank you." I said kissing his head. I held my hand out, handing the belts back to the boys, "Here, now go back and cover up, you two. You're still indecent." I said, pointing to where their room is.
"Yes mother." They said and walked away while fixing their belts.
"And your shirt is on backwards!" Collin fidgeted with his shirt while they walked out of sight.
"Let's get you into some dry clothes, shall we?" I said to them.
Edmund and Lucy all smiled as Caspian and I led the two to our personal quarters to borrow some clothes to wear. Lord knows that they are freezing in those clothes.
I set Elyian down on the bed and gave him his stuffed wolves to play with while I rifled through my clothing for something for Lucy to wear. Caspian was doing the same, looking through his trunk.
"Is he yours?" She asked as she sat down beside Elyian as he played with her fingers.
"Yes he is, he's mine and Caspian's son." I said as she looked at me with wide eyes and a huge smile.
"You two got married?!" She exclaimed in glee. I showed her my wedding ring and she squealed, looking at the ring. "It's beautiful." She whispered.
The ring was beautiful. It was silver with emerald green colored leaves and gold vines. Inside the ring it was engraved to say 'With All My Heart'.
"It is, isn't it." I agreed.
"And Collin and Brady?" She asked.
"We adopted the two as our own at our wedding reception." Caspian said, putting his hand on my shoulders. "And their friend, Embry, stayed at the castle with his wife Clarabelle, they are expecting a baby soon."
"Aww." Lucy cooed. I smiled widely.
"Here," I handed her to leggings, boots, tunic, and waistcoat with a belt and boots. "Get changed in the room down the hall, first door on your left." I said. She nodded and left the room.
Caspian handed clothes to Edmund and the two of us left with our Elysian, leaving the two siblings to change.
