Disclaimer: I own nothing but Karina and Freya. Oh and Eris the dispicable douchebag.

I'm so sorry I haven't updated in forever! I was reported for my two stories "I Dream of Jonas" and "Cheetah Strut". Sorry to those who were reading! I might try to post them under assumed names or something, so just keep looking out for them!


To War

And I will walk on water
And you will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
I know everything will be alright
I know everything is alright

I know you didn't bring me out here to drown
So why am I ten feet under and upside down
Barely surviving has become my purpose
Cause I'm so used to living underneath the surface – Lifehouse "Storm"


"Well duh I'm coming with you!" Karina cried. She was standing in the armory watching Caspian gather his weapons. Caspian sighed turning to his wife, "But do you think it wise in your… condition?"

Karina rolled her eyes, flattered that Caspian was worried for her but annoyed that she couldn't get her way, "Getting pregnant isn't a disease, Caspian. I'm still the same old Karina."

Caspian pulled her to the side so that they could get a moment to be alone. He placed a hand on her belly, "I want both of you to be safe."

Karina still had to get used to the idea of using plurals for herself. 'We', that was new. She pouted, "Fine then."

He kissed her lightly and Karina walked out of the armory, "He's so in the doghouse." She said to herself.


"Eris you insolent little child, I told you to make sure Lucy opened the letter!"

The unmistakable sound of skin colliding with skin split the chilly cave air as Eris flew back, clutching her cheek. "I'm sorry my Queen's but I was not present at the opening of the letter."

Hera drew back her arm, fire welling from her palm; "Shall I smite her, sister?"

Jadis looked to Eris, "Why not? She's run out of use."

The fire licked at Eris' pale legs making her cry out in agony, "I can bring you the Kings!"

The flames stopped abruptly and Eris was yanked to her feet my some unknown shadows. They stood her before the Queens, Jadis smirked, "Be true to your word."

Eris hurried out of a cave, a cold voice echoed behind her, "This is your final chance."


Caspian, Edmund, and Peter rode along the windy forest trail. Their small army was behind them, chattering amongst themselves.

"I think this is a wild goose chase." Edmund sighed, slumping in his saddle. Peter shot his brother a look, "Shut up, Ed."

Caspian tossed his hair back, "Perhaps Edmund is right. We have been out here for hours and nothing has happened." He desperately wanted to be with Karina. Ever since she'd revealed she was with child he'd wanted to be with her at every waking moment…

Flashback

"And so the lion fell in love with the lamb…"

"What are you doing?" Caspian asked his wife. Karina was sitting on a regal crimson chaise lounge reading aloud and rubbing her swollen belly. She looked up from her book,

"Reading to the baby." She said as if it was the most normal thing in the world. Caspian looked at her curiously, "I don't think it can hear you."

"He." Karina corrected. Caspian smirked, "What makes you think it's a boy?"

Karina smiled, "Motherly intuition?"

She stood, with help from Caspian, and the two walked to the balcony. Karina sighed as Caspian encircled her within his strong embrace. Her eyes still closed in bliss; she spoke, "In my world some people read to their unborn babies to make them smarter." She groaned, "I wish my parents had done that form me!"

Caspian looked down at her, admiration and love shining in his chocolate orbs; "I think you're one of the smartest people I know, and besides, there's more to life than being incredibly smart."

"Like what?"

He captured her lips in a searing kiss. Pulling back he smiled, "Like being incredibly good- looking."

Karina rolled her eyes, "Shallow much?" She leaned into his embrace, "I'm so glad I got to stay with you."

"Me too, mi amour. Me too…"

End Flashback

"Let's turn back. There's nothing out here." Caspian said, his tone slightly annoyed. The tiny army of scouts shrugged in agreement and the party turned their backs on the woods and headed back to the castle.


Later that night at dinner everyone seemed to be on edge, even Eris, who shocked everyone by not saying one word during the entire meal. Not that they were complaining. Karina had taken to eating rare meat, which somewhat disgusted 

Caspian, because every time he kissed her he felt like he was smooching a wolf. Eris, who said she was watching her figure, only ate green leafy things; and strangely four brownies at dessert. Peter barely ate anything at all, as he was too busy looking at Freya, who only ate soup for some weird reason, and could only think about Peter, and Dante was just giving Peter the evil eye as he chomped on a particularly large bone. Karina finally decided to break the silence,

"So, anybody have any idea for baby names?"

Lucy squealed with delight, "Ohhhhh, what about Kitty?!"

Susan wrinkled her nose, "Perhaps Alexander."

"I'm partial to Caspian XI." Caspian said, glancing to Karina. She sighed, "Maybe…"

Caspian pouted, "What do you mean maybe? If it wasn't for me, we wouldn't even be having little Caspian Jr."

Edmund choked on his wine as did Peter, "Too much information."

Freya smiled, "You will know what to name them in time."

Karina stopped laughing, "What do you mean them?"

The blind girl chuckled, "Nothing."


That night Caspian and Karina lay in bed. Karina was reading to her belly again, this time with great bravado,

"What to stupid lion, I said. What a masochistic lion…"

Caspian looked at her, "What are you reading?"

Karina sighed, "The best book ever written."

"Which would be?"

"Twilight." She said, flipping to another chapter. Caspian kissed her forehead, "Well it sounds like it just might corrupt out child's mind. Perhaps you could read something more… child friendly?"

She scowled at him, "Twilight, is a story about eternal love and the thought that love knows no bounds. What a wonderful lesson to teach our child, don't you think?" Karina continued to read but Caspian interrupted her, "When I was younger I remember when my mother would sing to my sister, just the way you're reading now."

Karina stopped and looked up at him, "I didn't know you have a sister."

"Had a sister." Caspian corrected, her voice going quiet. Karina, knowing she had struck a nerve within her husband, kissed him; "I'm sorry, I shouldn't ha-"

"It's alright." He said sadly. Karina pressed on, "What was her name?"

"Corazon."

Karina smiled slightly, "Would you sing to us?"

Caspian felt his face warm, "Of course. Laying alone with the history that made you cold and uncertain inside. Careful now, deep breath, the water's still rising. But your silver lining's in sight. When you feel like you're breaking down, And your body's just giving in, And you can't go on broken like this any longer. Close your eyes. Don't you cry. Let the sorrow within you subside. Don't despair, Have no fear, Give your weight to me when you hear this lullaby. You say all seems so wrong with the life that you're living. You're searching for some reasons why. You're so scared to trust, you're feeling unworthy. Aching for comfort tonight. When your hearts too sore to beat, And you feel it might never heal, And you feel not even beggars want you, I do Don't you cry, Let the darkness within you feel light, Don't despair. Have no fear. You'll find comfort in me like a child with this lullaby. This lullaby."

Karina drifted off to sleep, the sound of Caspian's voice comforting her.


BANG!!

Both Caspian and Karina jolted awake at the horrible sound of something hitting the castle walls. Caspian instantly grabbed his sword, as did Karina, and dressed. Karina glanced out of the large stained glass of their terrace and saw fiery torches lining the outside of the drawbridge.

"Karina, get away from the window!" Caspian whispered loudly. Karina ducked away from the opalescent light that the window was letting in and shrank away into the darkness. The door suddenly burst open, it was Peter and Freya.

"We're under attack your majesties!" Freya cried, her voice not wavering one bit.

"Three guesses who it is." Peter said as they hurried quickly down the hallway to find Susan, Lucy and Edmund.


Ghaaaaaaa! Telmar castle is under attack!! Oh no! For all those who wanted Eris to be evil, well I made it happen. Of course this was in the story all along but your comments and reviews made me jump right to it. I just finished Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer so I had to make Karina reading Twilight. My mom actually read to me when I was in her belly and my dad sang to me, that's how I got this idea. They just told me that, like, two weeks ago. I think it doesn't make you smarter, just more empathetic. BTW the song Caspian is singing is "Lullaby" by Emmy Rossum. You should buy her CD, it's great sleeping music! I'm beginning to think about baby names for Karina and Caspian's kid. If you have an idea, just tell me! Your ideas are greatly appreciated! Anyways, I'm rambling again... REVIEW!!
