Chapter 6: Nap time...

Trinity had been nervous and stuttering ever since the day before. "What is wrong with me?" she sighed rubbing her forehead. Laureen came running down the hall yelling. "Laureen what's going on?" she asked picking up the girl. "Daddy is chasing me." she said giggling. She smiled. "Well I'll protect you." Jack came running down the hall. "I'll get you Laureen." She laughed. "You'll have to get through me first!" she challenged putting Laureen down and pushing her behind her.

"That's no fair. I can beat him up. WATCH!" she ran forward and kicked Jack in the shins then ran off giggling. Jack groaned and fell forward. "Ow..." She fell over laughing. "She kicks hard!" He said in his defense. Laureen came running back and tackled him from behind knocking him over and wrestling with him. Trinity laughed to the point of tears. The both of them stayed wrestling on the ground. "What am I gonna do with you two?" she said shaking her head still laughing. Laureen ran over to her and tackled her. "I got you!"

She laughed and wrestled with her. "I don't go down easy Hun!" "You will now!" he yelled as he came over to help. She laughed and accidentally elbowed Jack in the stomach. Oof" He fell back. Laureen giggled then yawned. She did shifty eyes hoping no one had seen. "Someone is tired." He said. Trinity smiled.

"NO! I'm not tired!" she got up to run away again. He caught her and picked her up. He held her by her waist. "Nap time." Laureen hung limply. "Ok daddy." "See you later baby." she said giving her a kiss on the forehead. He carried her like a sack to her room and put her to bed. She smiled. Jack came out a few moments later. "Oh good. I was hoping that wouldn't take too long..." She smiled and laughed. "Yes she's a stubborn one." He stretched. "Come rest with me." "W-what? D-did I just hear th-that r-right?" she stammered. "Just rest. You know lay down probably fall asleep. You look tired and I know I could use a good rest."

"O-ok." she nodded her face red once again as her mind raced. He went into his room and took off his shirt and boots. He then laid down in the bed waiting for her. She went into his room after having changed her clothes into a simple pair of breeches and a loose blouse. She laid down next to him. He wrapped an arm around her and buried his face in her hair. "You smell good." She laughed softly. "Thanks..." "Welcome lovey." he said.

She blushed again. "So..." "Just rest. Don't you ever just rest?" he asked. "Never really had the time." She shrugged. "Well you do now. So just relax." he said as he started to drift off to sleep while holding her. She snuggled close to him but couldn't fall asleep. He gently rubbed her back. Her eye lids drooped. "That feels nice..." "Good. You need to relax." he kept it up. She fell into a deep sleep for the first time since she became queen. He fell asleep as well.

She snuggled close to him and he held her tightly. He gently nuzzled her neck. She shivered and cuddled closer. He had felt her shivering and pulled a light blanket over them in his sleep. She wasn't cold but she welcomed the blanket.


Sam looked around. "It's oddly quiet..." Laureen had a nightmare and started to cry. He heard her and went into her room. "Lady Laureen?" She was sitting up crying. He went over to her and hugged her. "What's wrong?" "I...I h...had... a b...b...b...ba-bad...d...d...dr-dream..." she sobbed. "Shh...It's ok..." he said rubbing her back. She buried her face in his chest crying. He hugged her. She soon cried herself to sleep. He stroked her hair and tucked her in. She held onto him.

Trinity started to frown and squirm. He rolled over. He was use to being on the ship. She screamed and sat up wide awake. "Bloody hell..." Jack jumped awake. "What's wrong?" She was breathing hard. "Nightmare..." she said trying to keep the tears at bay. He wrapped his arms around her. "It's ok." She leaned into his arms and started crying. He gently rubbed her back speaking soft kind words. She quieted down and wiped at her eyes. "I haven't had that dream since I was six..." "Don't worry. It will be ok."

She nodded. "Thank you..." "Welcome Lovey." He smiled. She smiled as well. "What's with the name? Not that I mind. I'm just curious." "It fits you." He said getting up and grabbing a bottle of rum. She nodded. "You're sharing right?" she asked raising both eyebrows. He handed her the bottle. "Here" She took a long drink. She was no stranger to alcohol and wasn't drunk easily. "You know how to hold your ale then." "I've had lots of practice." She shrugged. "I see." He nodded. She smiled and passed the bottle back.

He drank more. "You are pretty." She blushed. "Thank you." she said. "You're handsome you know." "I know." He smiled. "But thank you." he scratched his bare chest. She laughed. "Hey pass the rum back..." He handed her the rum again. She took another long drink. He watched her smiling. She once again handed him the bottle back barely starting to feel the effects. "Finish it." he said. She grinned and downed the rest of the bottle.

He sat on the bed. She swayed a little but stayed upright. He smiled up at her. "Now what to do lovey?" She shrugged. "No idea..." He nodded and laid down again. She stood, stumbling slightly and stretched. "Mmm..." "You ok lovey?" he asked looking up at her. "Yeah...just stretching...I've always had a knot in my neck from the queenly stress that is my life..." she said sitting back down. "Well you just need to rest more often."

She nodded and laid down next to him. He wrapped and arm around her. She smiled. "So...how do you like it here in Narnia?" He smiled. "It's interesting." She nodded. "Do you think you would want to stay?" she asked the question that had been on her mind for the past few days. "I'm not sure. Everything I know is back home. Family is back home too...And my men won't want to stay. They have women back home." He replied. She nodded. "I can understand that..." "I might stay with Laureen and send the men back or something... I'm not sure." She snuggled close. "Alright..." He held her.

She smiled. "This is the most relaxed I've ever been..." "Good. You should be relaxed like this more often." He said. "It's hard when you have to work a lot...being a queen is harder than one would think you know." "I know. I knew a queen once." He said nodding. "Oh? Well then you know what a chore it can be then..." "Yes I do." "Oh damn...I forgot we have the Archenland delegates coming tomorrow...damn!" she tensed up. He rubbed her back. "Don't worry it will be ok."

"No...I'm the only eligible queen left around here...DAMN! The bloody creature is probably going to propose...I'm royally screwed..." "No you're not." He got up and went to a chest that had been carried in from his ship. He kicked it open and pulled something out. He tossed a ring with a large emerald in her lap. "Pretend you are married to me." She caught it deftly. "Now why didn't I think of that..." "Because queens aren't use to lying." he said. "I'm pirate not royalty." "I see...well I'm afraid you're going to have to act like royalty in order to convince old king what's-his-bucket that we're married..."

"I said I was pirate. I never said I couldn't act lovey." he smiled. She grinned. "Then we're set!" she said putting her hands behind her head. "The staff will be informed. They won't care because they don't like the bastard anyway..." she said glaring out the window. "What a mouth on you! Bloody hell and I thought you were a saint…" he laughed. "You forget my mother was pirate before she was queen." she pointed out. "She had the worst mouth in the castle. I was told that she used to get into swearing matches with my Uncle Edmund."

"As I can imagine." He laughed. "She'd win too. That's where I learned all my favorite words." She grinned. "Good. Good." he smiled. She laughed. "I'll bet you anything that if my relatives heard me say that, my Dad would be in shock, Mother would fall off her chair, Aunt Susan would throw a fit, Uncle Edmund would applaud and Aunt Lucy would laugh." "Big family." He said.

"Yes...My Aunt's and Uncle are from my Dad's side of the family. Mother never really talked about her family. Bad memories I suppose..." "Well of course if she became pirate." He said it as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. She shrugged. "So...looks like you'll be moving into my quarters for a while." she said trying to change the mood of the conversation. He nodded. "Yeah." He smiled. "Does this mean we get to do things married people do?"

She rolled her eyes. "Not all but some..." "Some? That includes the fun thing right?" "I'll think about it..." She said trying not to smile. He smiled. "You do that." She couldn't help but smile as well. "I think you already know what the answer is going to be though..." He nodded. "I'll just have to convince you then." "Hmm...And here I thought you knew my answer!" She smirked. He tilted his head. "I might not." "You were wrong thinking you'd have to convince me..."

He smiled. "Well how about we practice that part now?" She grinned and nodded. "Ok..." He smiled and went over to her and pinned her to the bed. She giggled. "I'm not experienced so you know..." "That's fine. I am." "Well then I'm sure you'll teach me..." she smiled. "I will." He kissed her neck. She moaned softly. "I'm sure..."He kept kissing her neck. She moaned louder and squirmed slightly. He put a gentle finger on her lips. Shh... Laureen's room is just next door.

"Then how about we take this to my room? Sound proofed..." He nodded "Good idea." She led the way making sure no one saw her so she didn't get called away. He soon followed so as to not make things look funny. She was waiting for him. He quickly slipped in. She smiled. She had taken her hair out of the braided bun it was in earlier. He smiled and went to her, kissing her neck. She moaned and pulled him toward the bed. He followed her. Her legs hit the bed and she fell backwards onto it.


She smiled. "Mmm...why do I have a feeling that we'll be doing this often?" she muttered softly. "Because we will." he said. "Now rest lovey." She nodded and slowly drifted off. He fell asleep as well.
