Chapter 11

Uncle?

Few days later

Everyone left the "Helping" island two days ago and luckily for them, the weather was perfect for sailing.

After getting off on an island, they found a clearing in the forest and set up a camp, since it will be getting dark soon.

Lydia was sitting between Caspian's legs which were on either side of her and his arms wrapped around her waist to hold her tightly against him, but not too tightly as he didn't want to hurt her. She put her hands on his which were on her stomach and he kissed the spot just below her ear.

"I love you" he whispered and she smiled lightly.

She leaned against him as everyone around them laughed at the joke one of the sailors told and he pressed a light kiss to her forehead.

Lydia felt happy being in the arms of the person she loved the most, Caspian. She knew that he loved as much as she loved him if not more and he would do anything to make sure that she and their child, their son are safe.

She looked up at her husband smiling and he kissed her lightly.

Suddenly, Lydia pulled out Caspian's sword and blocked the man's attack. She quickly stood up and pushed him back a little.

"I see you improved in your fighting" the man said smiling.

"I see you haven't changed" Lydia said with no emotion in her face. "Now, will you tell why you came here or must I beat it out of you?"

"Can't I visit my niece?" the man asked smiling and Lydia knocked him to the ground before stabbing Caspian's sword into his chest.

"I'm not your niece" Lydia said angrily before the man turned into green mist.

She dropped the sword to the ground before Caspian pulled her into hug. She wrapped her arms around his waist and hid her face in the crook of his neck feeling tears appear in her eyes.

Everyone was confused, who was that man and why did Lydia reacted the way she did after she saw him?

Caspian sat down and pulled Lydia to sit on his lap as he rubbed her back trying to comfort her. There were a lot of questions in his head, but right now he wanted for Lydia to calm down.

"You're okay?" he asked worriedly after some time of silence and she nodded her head slowly, though that's not how she felt.

Lydia was far from okay, but that would only make everyone worried, especially Caspian, so she didn't tell him the truth.

"Who was that man?" Lucy asked carefully and Lydia sat up straighter in Caspian's lap.

"He's my mother's brother, so he's my uncle" she answered not looking everyone and felt Caspian's grip tighten a little on her waist. "He was like any other normal uncle, fun and loving. He would play with me, Alex and Davion for hours to give our parents some private time."

"But?" Caspian asked worried that she had to go through the same as he did after his uncle tried to kill him.

"One day, he left, because there were few attacks on narnians" Lydia answered sadly. "He returned two days later completely changed. I ran to the gardens where he and mom where and saw mom laying on the ground with blood around her and my uncle holding bloody sword. He looked at me, but there was nothing in his face, no emotion, nothing. Dad and Davion ran to us and Davion led me to my room."

"So your uncle killed you mother?" Lucy asked not believing what she just heard and Lydia nodded her head slowly as she squeezed Caspian's hand in hers.

"Mom never talked about what happened and dad never pushed her to" Lydia said looking blankly at space and Caspian kissed her forehead.

"If he appears again, we all will help you to deal with him" Caspian said and everyone nodded in agreement.

"No, I could never ask you that" Lydia said quickly and Caspian put his fingers on her lips.

"It's not up for consideration" Caspian said and Lydia just shook her head smiling.

"Thanks" she said smiling and yawned into Caspian's neck.

"Go to sleep" Caspian said and she shook her head tightening her grip on him. "I'll wake you up if something happens, I promise."

Lydia smiled lightly as she closed her eyes tiredly. Her breath got even after few moments which meant that she fell asleep.

"Caspian, don't worry about Lydia" Lucy said quietly noticing his worried expression as everyone chatted among themselves. "She knows how to take care of herself. And if anything, we'll protect her."

"I know and I'm not worried about that" Caspian said quietly with sigh. "I'm worried that she might do something stupid and reckless."

"She won't, because she has her and your child to think about" Lucy said and Caspian smiled lightly.

"Thanks" Caspian said smiling and Lucy smiled back.

He chuckled after Lydia moved closer to Caspian and rubbed her nose against his neck lightly.

Few hours later

Lydia moved even closer to Caspian's body warmth and he stirred from his sleep.

"Can't sleep?" he asked sleepily and she nodded her head against his chest.

"I see that scene every time I close my eyes" Lydia said after few seconds of silence and Caspian moved his arms around her to pull her up and looked into her eyes.

"It must be hard for you to forget about it completely, so I'm going to be stuck by your side for the rest of your life" Caspian said smiling and Lydia hid her face in the crook of his neck laughing lightly.

"I think I already heard that somewhere before" she said smiling and he kissed her lightly.

"A person who I love very dearly told me that three years ago" he said smiling and she giggled lightly.

"And do I know that person?" Lydia asked smiling and he kissed her again.

"I'm looking at her right now" Caspian said smiling as she stroked her cheek with his thumb.

"Get a room" Edmund said loudly for them to hear, but not loud enough to wake others up and Caspian silenced Lydia with kiss.

They were kissing with no worry on their mind before Caspian pulled away and pressed his forehead to hers with eyes closed and wide smile on his lips.

"We should go to sleep" he whispered quietly and Lydia nodded her head before kissing him lightly and snuggling to him. "Sweet dreams, love."

Caspian kissed Lydia's forehead once more before closing his eyes with small smile on his lips.

I am terribly sorry for not updating for forever, but I had a writer's block and no idea what I should write next… I was talking with my friend the other day and this idea came into my mind… I tried several ideas and this seemed the best of four… Hopefully, this wasn't bad… secretprincess
