**I DO NOT OWN ANY CHARACTERS FROM THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA. THEY BELONG TO C.S. LEWIS.**

The fox smiled and looked at the nearby tree.

"Peter," I said my eyes getting wide "I can't climb a tree!"

Peter helped Susan, Lucy, and the beavers up the tree and then turned to me.

"Trust me," he said.

I bit my bottom lip and began to rub my stomach. I looked up at the tree and back at Peter who was trying to be patient but I could tell it wasn't working.

"Peter," I whispered.

"Please," he said urgently.

I sighed and walked over to Peter. Susan dropped her arms for me to grab onto and began to pull me up as Peter pushed. I didn't even care that his hand grazed my bottom. I closed my eyes and tried not to panic. Once I was safely in the tree, Peter climbed up and came to sit by me.

"You ok?" he whispered worriedly.

I buried my head into his arm and just nodded my head yes. I jumped when I heard the wolves burst through and grabbed on to Peter's arm. He wrapped his arm around me and hugged me tightly to his body. I didn't even watch what was going on below. I had my eyes closed, buried into Peter and trying to calm my breathing. I tuned myself out of the world and didn't move until I heard Peter whispering in my ear.

"They're gone," he said.

"You sure?" I asked not bothering to change my position.

"Would I lie to you?" Peter chuckled.

He did have a point. I slowly raised myself off Peter and looked down. Big mistake. I'm not scared of heights but being pregnant and the thought that maybe this branch would break freaked me out. I gasped and threw myself back onto Peter.

"Come on it's ok," he cooed.

I bit my lower lip and once again took myself off of Peter. He smiled at me and I couldn't help but smile back.

"How am I supposed to get down?" I asked apprehensively.

"Climb onto my back," he said.

I just stared at Peter like he was a ten headed monster.

"What?" I asked making sure I heard him correctly.

"Trust me," he said with a smile.

I sighed and climbed onto Peter's back. I tightly wrapped my arms around his neck and my legs around his torso. I buried my face into his back and tightly shut my eyes. Peter started to climb down the tree and I tightened my grip on him. Even when I knew that Peter was on the ground, I didn't loosen my grip and I still had my eyes shut.

"Mo," I heard Peter say struggling for breath.

"Sorry," I blushed and loosened my grip.

I slowly slid off his back and sighed a breath of relief when my feet hit the snow. Lucy, Susan and the beavers had a fire set up and were tending to the fox when Peter and I walked over to the group and sat down on an available log.

"What's he like?" I heard Mrs. Beaver ask excitedly.

"More than what we've heard," the fox smiled "it'll be an honor to have him fighting by your side," the fox said looking over at us.

"That may be so," Susan stated "but we're not planning on fighting any witch."

"Surely King Peter," the fox said looking at Peter "the prophecy."

Peter sighed and threw a stick into the fire.

"We just want our brother back," he said.

The fox took one last look at us before he dashed into the woods. I began to rub my hand up and down Peter's arm to try and reassure him that everything was going to be ok. He looked over to me and gave me a faint smile. I smiled back and rested my head on his shoulder.

"I think it's time we get some sleep," Mrs. Beaver said.

She got up and started picking up some trash from the food we had managed to take with us.

"We have a long journey ahead of us tomorrow," Mr. Beaver said putting more wood into the fire.

Lucy let out a small yawn which caused Susan to yawn which soon caused everyone to yawn.

"Thanks Lucy," I joked.

"Sorry," she mumbled tiredly.

Considering we were going to be sleeping in the snow, the best thing everyone could do for warmth was cuddle. Susan and Lucy being sisters paired up. Mr. and Mrs. Beaver being married paired up. That left me and Peter.

"So," he said sheepishly.

I chuckled and rolled my eyes.

"Don't worry Pete, I won't make a move," I winked.

Peter raised his eyebrow at me and gave me a lopsided grin.

"So, how do we plan to do this?" he asked me.

I looked over to the others. Susan was still wearing her coat as was Lucy but Susan had some of her coat over Lucy. Mr. and Mrs. Beaver cuddled forming a little circle. I tilted my head to the side and thought how Peter and I could make this work.

"How about this," I said "why don't I lay my coat on the ground and we use your coat as a blanket."

"How are we both going to use my coat as a blanket?" Peter asked puzzled.

I stifled a laugh by biting my lower lip.

"I'm sleeping in your arms tonight baby," I chuckled.

I smiled to myself when I saw Peter blush a bit. I got up from the log and took my coat of placing it on the cold snowy ground. I laid down on the coat and looked over at Peter who was sill sitting on the log.

"Peter," I huffed "I'm a little cold."

"Sorry," he grinned.

He got up from the log, took his coat of and laid down next to me. He placed his coat over us and opened his arms for me to sleep in. I got into his arms and snuggled into his chest. He wrapped his arms around me and gently snuggled just a bit closer to me to try and make sure that no cold got between us.

"You warm?" he whispered.

"Mhm," I said tiredly.

I closed my eyes and soon my breathing became even. The coats and Peter kept me warm and the sound of his heartbeat caused me to sleep peacefully despite the situation taking place.


I let out a whimper as I felt the warmth leave my body.

"Sorry," I heard Peter whisper.

I groaned and reluctantly opened my eyes.

"What's going on?" I asked through my yawn.

"I um, well I-"

I looked at Peter and giggled. He had a certain look on his face which meant only one thing.

"Peter," I grinned "do you have to go to the bathroom?"

Peter gave me his guilty look and shrugged.

"Well then go," I chuckled.

Peter quickly got up, placed the coat back over to me and went into the woods. I closed my eyes to try and go back to sleep but a certain someone wasn't going to let that happen.

"Good you're up," Mrs. Beaver smiled into my face.

"Not really," I mumbled snuggling more under the coat.

Mrs. Beaver didn't press the matter and just walked away. Shortly after she left, Peter came back from the woods and walked over to me.

"We might as well get ready to go since we're both up," Peter said sheepishly.

"You've got to be kidding me," I groaned.

Peter gave me a small smile and extended his hand out to me to help me up. I groaned, again, and sat up. I placed my hand into Peter's who pulled me up gently.

"Susan," I called looking around for her.

"Yes?" she answered walking over to me.

"I have to go to the bathroom," I whispered in her ear.

She looked at me with an odd expression.

"Are you ok?" she asked.

I knew that Susan was going to be confused by me asking her to go to the bathroom with me. I was capable of getting up on my own so it's not that I needed someone to help me up. It's just that…

"I'm just scared to go alone," I admitted.

She smiled and took my hand leading me into the woods. I walked behind a tree and Susan turned her back to me.

"How come you didn't ask Peter?" she asked amused.

I rolled my eyes and once I was done, I stood back up.

I will never take toilet paper for granted.

"Susan," I said as we began to head back to the group "I may have slept with your brother last night but that doesn't mean I want him to see me naked."

Susan let out a small giggle which caused me to giggle as well. So of course two giggling girls walking back from the woods are going to get weird looks. The weird looks just caused us to giggle even more.
