Next part of this thing. Is it good? I just don't know anymore.

Oh my gosh guys! I scared the crap out of myself, like, pulling my hair out screeching and running around in a tanktop and shorts in the freezing cold night scared. I thought I deleted an entire chapter of this, the pre written ones, and that would mean like, three chapters, right from the middle of the story. Gah! Heart attack!

I didn't, but I didn't figure that out until after I ran out of the house to cry...

I don't own!

Enjoy!

Eustace was in his room, located in one of the houses that was loaned to them by the islanders for the duration of their stay.

"Hey Eustace." Lucy said as she opened his door. Eustace looked up from his position on the bed, a notebook on his lap. He raised an eyebrow, curious as to why she would bother him today, after two weeks of ignoring him, it was probably because Edmund was awake and she wasn't sitting next to his bed day and night.

"What do you want?" He asked in a snobbish voice, taken a bit off guard by his thoughts and also hurt that it took his cousin waking from his coma for Lucy to come check up on him, he thought he was getting better.

Lucy was taken aback, hurt almost, by his reaction to her presence.

"I just wanted to see how you were doing." She said, her voice almost cold, she was holding herself back from snapping at her arrogant unapreatiating cousin. Eustace sneered.

"I'm perfectly fine, except the fact that I was taken from my home, without warning, and brought to a land that shouldn't exist." He stood, moving quickly until he was standing directly in front of his cousin, making her take a step back, "Oh and that I may never get home. I am perfectly fine." He moved forward, making Lucy stumble out the door, before slamming said door in her face, making sure to lock it.

Eustace waited a few seconds before going back to his bed, sitting with a huff and ranting into his notebook. She really didn't know what he was feeling, even if she had been here before, been in the unknown without knowing how to get back, but she hadn't wanted to get back, she hadn't wanted to go home, not like him, he wanted to, but he couldn't.

Edmund and Caspian had talked about what to do with the whole, being able to have a baby thing, sparingly, only when they had to.

"How do you really feel about having a womb?" Caspian had had enough of the skirting around and asked Edmund straight out, knowing that his husband was holding back, keeping his thoughts in his head and not confiding in him. Sometimes it scared him, how Edmund would close up on him and get lost in his thoughts. It had only been three days since he woke, and all three he was forced to stay still, rest, sleep. And Caspian was sure that Edmund was tired of it, and that it trapped the older boy in his nightmares.

"It's a scary thing." Edmund whispered his voice distant. "I mean, I feel no different than before, not really. It feels the same, only, better. It feels like I -" Edmund trailed off, holding his gut softly, not meeting Caspian's eyes. Caspian was about to say something when Lucy walked into the room with tears in her eyes.

"Lucy, are you okay?" Edmund asked worriedly, glad that he could change the subject. He had been thinking about it, and it was scary, just as scary as it was amazing. He didn't know if he wanted to gush about it nonstop or keep it all in. So he chose to keep most of it in and talk only to his husband, and sometimes his sister, if she pushed.

"It's nothing, just…" She burst into fresh tears. Edmund patted the bed, indicating that she should sit, she did so and Edmund hugged her. Caspian left the two alone so they could talk, he knew that they needed it.

"It was Eustace wasn't it?" Edmund stated more than asked. Lucy ducked her head, unwilling to get her, sometimes mean, cousin in trouble. She had been trying, but Eustace had been getting ruder and ruder by the day. Edmund wanted to talk to him, but he didn't want to be in the same room as the guy who made his sister cry, even if that guy was his cousin.

"He's just upset that he was taken from his home and brought to a world he doesn't know." Lucy defended him. "He didn't make me cry in the way you think. I was crying more because of his predicament." Both siblings knew that feeling, they have felt it more times then they could count in the 30 some odd years that they lived in Narnia, and for the year or so they were in Narnia the last time, longer more for Edmund.

Edmund nodded, though he felt more pity than he did sadness for his cousin. He would probably feel worse, if the guy hadn't done everything he could to hurt his sister.

"I know how bad that feels, but to be angry still, after two months? There's something wrong with that." Edmund told her, pressing her further into his side, she was grateful.

Edmund had never really liked his cousin before and Eustace is not doing much to change Edmund's view of him, if anything, he just confirming that Edmund shouldn't like him. "He needs to learn to deal with it." He told Lucy. Lucy nodded and was about to say something when Caspian walked in.

"My word, people love walking in on conversations don't they?" Edmund joked, trying to lighten the dark mood, even just a little. Lucy giggled softly, he had at least helped a bit.

"Are you feeling better Lucy?" Caspian asked. He sat on the other side of Edmund and placed a plate of bread, cheese and fruit on Edmund's lap.

"I am. Thanks." She smiled kindly at him, glad that he knew when to leave and when to return, her brother had chosen well.

Three months was a long time, or so it seemed. Before they knew it they were to ship out on the Dawn Treader.

Lucy and Edmund made their way into the newly refurbished ship, Eustace following sullenly behind them. Caspian would come up a bit later with the captain, the two having gone with the newly appointed governor to get the supplies for the next few weeks to a month. They didn't know how long it took to get to the next Island.

"How long are we going to be on this death trap?" Eustace bit out as he glared and sneered at the beautiful ship. Edmund had to be held back by Lucy so as not to hurt Eustace. The boy had been getting on everyone's last nerve, fraying already frayed patience.

"We're not sure." The captain said as he and Caspian walked on board followed by several men carrying heavy looking box's and barrels. "And if you disrespect my ship again you will be personally acquainted with the bottom of the sea." He told him with a dark tone, promising that the threat was more something he was holding back and not something he would be forced to do.

The captain nodded to the siblings before leaving to sort out their supplies, leaving Eustace a sickly white in his wake. Edmund and Lucy were satisfied with that and left to claim their sleeping arrangements. Eustace had frozen in place for a minute or two, thoughts of what would happen filled his brain, making him a little more than a little queasy.

Reepicheep chuckled to himself before hopping down from the sails and shooing the boy to find his bed. Eustace made it a point to never disrespect the Dawn Treader again.

Ohhhh! Eustace Why! I am trying to Redeem you! Why must you be a little shit?!
