Hey guys. I wasn't satisfied that everyone got a happy ending, except Susan, so here's her happy ending.
Disclaimer: I do not own any the characters from the Chronicles of Narnia. I only own Lorie.
Two years after the death of her family, Susan King Pevensie was going through life smoothly and happily. She had a newborn daughter, Lorie, and a husband, Walter King. Walter sometimes would call Susan Phyllis due to their first encounter before Susan went back to Narnia. When she came back he pressed on, trying to get to know her. She brushed him off; still heartbroken over what she soon realized what was simply a dream. He got her back on her feet and introduced her to society. She then became a young lady of society, constantly going to parties and balls. Susan always made sure that she saved at least one dance for Walter. As the two became closer, love sparked. When Susan came back from America, he said he couldn't stand not being with her and knowing that she was free to date anyone. In turn, a relationship started (with Peter and Edmund's approval of course). When the train crash occurred, Susan was moody, and Walter struggled to help her. Two months after, he propose, stating that he wanted to be there for her whenever she was miserable, or when she was happy, she accepted and now she, Walter, and Lorie all live in the Professor's old mansion that was left to Susan.
Currently cooking dinner in the kitchen for when her husband came home, Susan hummed a song. She wasn't sure where she heard it, but her sibling had insisted that it came from "Narnia." Her siblings were so imaginative, but to them it seemed real. Susan simply thought that it was a very vivid game they would play.
She nearly dropped the knife she was holding to cut vegetables when she heard her daughter, now four months cry out. She gently put the knife down and hurried up the stairs to soothe her daughter. Susan picked Lorie up, and rocked her back in forth. She started to sing the song from earlier, hoping to put Lorie back to sleep.
It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope.
Which then turned into a quiet thought, which then turned into a quiet word.
And then that word grew louder and louder, till it was a battle cry:
I'll come back when you call me; no need to say good-bye.
She looked around the room which was filled with some of Lucy's paintings. One of which was of a proud lion that looked very life like. She then turned to a floor-length mirror that had a lion head at the top. She looked closely at the mirror, in which there appeared to be a girl who looked similar to Lucy who was sketching something. Susan approached the mirror, startled to not see her reflection. Gently, she tapped the mirror, which rippled. Next she stuck in a hand which went straight through. Carefully, and while still holding Lorie, she closed her eyes stepped through the mirror, leaving the nursery.
When Susan opened her eyes she was in a place that looked similar to the so-called "Narnia." Susan turned around, to see if there was anything that could let her and Lorie back. There lay the same mirror that Susan had stepped through. Turning back the girl was looking up with wide eyes. "Lucy?" Susan whispered while tearing up.
"Susan?" Lucy said.
"Lucy!" Susan called out with tears now running down her cheeks.
"Susan!" Lucy sprang up from her previous position while dropping her drawing materials. She ran towards Susan and Lorie.
Before enveloping Susan in her arms, Lucy noticed that Susan was holding a very young child. Lucy looked up at Susan with a wide grin on her face. "What's her name, who's the father, and how many years has it been?" Lucy rambled.
"Her name is Lorie, Walter, and about two." Susan answered.
"Oh!" Lucy exclaimed. "I know a place where we could catch up together, follow me. Also, could I carry Lorie there?"
Susan beamed and handed a now sleeping Lorie over to Lucy. They both pressed on until they found a small cottage with smoke billowing out the chimney. Susan, Lucy, and Lorie entered the cabin.
Inside, there was a toasty fire roaring. It was two stories, and Susan supposed she would let Lorie sleep up there. The cabin had a family type aura. Lucy deposited Lorie in a crib upstairs. Susan was already on the couch, absorbing everything around her. Lucy plopped down beside Susan and gave her a giant hug, and both the girls began to cry tears of joy.
"So, when did Walter propose?" Lucy inquired while studying Susan's ring.
"About two months after the-the-"
"Crash," Lucy finished for her.
"I said yes, of course and within ten months we were married. Two months after I became pregnant with my little bundle of joy, Lorie."
"How have the past two years been?" Lucy fetched two cups of tea for Susan and herself.
"It was hard knowing that I wouldn't be able to run to you every time that I wanted to see you guys. I missed Edmund, your hugs and faith, and I even missed Peer's over protectiveness. Walter helped me get through it, but there's not a moment in my life that I go missing you." Tears welled up in both the sisters' eyes.
"Well you're here in Aslan's country with us, but what I'm really wondering is how you got here," Lucy cocked her head to one side.
"I'm wondering that myself, I stepped through the mirror in the nursery in the Professor's old house, and suddenly I'm in this strange place. And Aslan's country? Wasn't that the name of the lion from that silly childhood we used to play?"
"Hmm… And it wasn't a game, Susan. Here we are in Narnia, but you deny it, why?" Lucy looked at her sister with grave concern.
"I just, I couldn't deal with the heart break," Susan broke down her barriers. "I wanted to forget the hurt, so I convinced myself it wasn't there. I guess I got too carried away." Susan hung her head in shame.
"It's okay. I was worried about you, but now you're here, and you believe again."
I hope that you enjoyed the story. Cross fingers for a quick update!
