A/N: I want to start out with saying thank you. Thank you to EVERY SINGLE PERSON who has reviewed this story! I was reading through the 38, if I remember correctly, reviews I have gotten so far and I was smiling the ENTIRE time! You guys have left me so many positive reviews and it means a ton to me especially since I was so afraid of posting this story, I am nowhere near the end of this story and it has already been worth it!

Moving on; I know I said I would probably wait until Friday to post again, but my Writer's block has been going away and even thought I have already spent 6 1/2 to 8 hours worth of just science school week in the past 3 days I have also gotten a decent bit written.

DISCLAIMER: No, no I do not own it.

I wake up the next morning feeling amazingly refreshed, so I get up, get dressed, and head to the library; I am determined to finish the novel by tomorrow.

I have been reading for about three quarters of an hour when I hear movement somewhere close by and I figure that it is Caspian or Julia coming to find me, they always say 'when you can't find Lucy; look in the library' and most of the time, they are right.

"There you are" came a soft voice that belonged to Caspian "I have been looking for you, then I remembered how attached you were to that book last night so I guessed that I should look here."

"I am determined to finish this book before I go to bed tomorrow night" I said, holding the book up to indicate how much I had left.

"With the speed you read at you will have it finished tonight. It still amazes me how fast you can read" he says, coming over and sitting in one of the other chairs.

"Mum told me that all the time; I can finish a four hundred page book in a couple days with no problems" I told him with a grin on my face; he is one of the slowest readers I have ever met, and he hates how fast I can read.

"Why don't we head to breakfast?" he asks a few minutes later, standing up and extending his hand to me so I read to a good stopping spot then mark my page, take his hand, and we walk to breakfast.

"How are your arm and leg doing this morning?"

"Good… I guess… I suppose I can manage with my leg, but this sling is going to drive me insane" he says motioning to his left arm.

"I doubt that; I bet you will just find it hard to do certain things. You know, Susan broke her arm once and had to have it in a sling for two months."

"Oh that must have been horrible! And you're right; I'm not going to go insane… I have you here to keep me sane" he tells me while wrapping his good arm around my shoulders, and I know for a fact that I am blushing "Why are you blushing?" He asks with a massive grin on his face, and I just know that he is enjoying this a ton.

"Caspian… stop it, I hate it when people make me blush…"

"Why are you blushing?"

"Because you went all… cute on me! You are not supposed to act cute; you are supposed to be the warrior, the… not cute one!" I say and he starts laughing as he moves his arm and takes my hand again "Why are you laughing?"

"Because this is quite funny."

"To you maybe, but not to me!" I say helplessly.

"So… are you trying to say that I can't act cute? I thought this was the way that I was supposed to treat you."

"Well… yes, but… but I'm just not used to it!"

"I can tell that… by the fact that you are blushing, but I suppose that if I do it enough then you will get used to it…"

"Caspian…" I say, now starting to get ever-so- slightly annoyed.

"I'll stop" he says as he puts his arm around me again and gives me a slight squeeze "For now" he says, and I can tell that he is grinning.

We finish walking to the dining room in silence, and right before we walk in Caspian glances at me and then at our joined hands, silently asking if we should walk in holding hands. I pull my hand out of his and glance at him in a way that, hopefully, says 'I don't want them to know just yet.'

We have a good breakfast, and I talk with Julia some of the other girls, while Caspian is talking with Trumpkin, and a few others. When we finish breakfast Caspian and I just walk out to the garden, and I chuckle "what are you laughing at?" Caspian asks me.

"I just find it sort of funny how no words were needed; we both just walked out here because it has become habit."

"Oh… I guess so. Lucy?"

"Yes?"

"Why do you not want people to know that we are courting?" he asks me, looking at our entwined fingers, then back at my face.

"I…I don't know… oh my, I'm taking after Peter" I mumble, and Caspian gives me a questioning look "during the Golden Age, Peter was courting a girl, and none of us even knew until right before they became engaged" I explain.

"Peter was married? There are no records of him being married, or any of you for that matter."

"No, he wasn't, we went back to England about a week before they were to be married" I tell him softly, remembering how crushed Peter was, still is, and always will be.

"Oh…" we lapse into silence and walk for about another ten minutes before Caspian suggests we start working and I agree.

"I would really like to go for another ride tonight…" Caspian says around lunch time.

"I would like that, but could you do it with your arm in that sling?"

"I could, I just couldn't put the saddle on Annabelle…"

"I could do it, if you really wanted to go" I offer.

"I would like that" he says.

The next two weeks go by with no major happenings and finally, to my great relief because he won't stop complaining, today is the day that Caspian gets to see if he can take his sling off. He stopped having his leg bandaged about a week ago, and there is hardly any scab left now, it is mainly just a big scar. He's lucky that he got cut where he did, and not a few inches to the right where it would have cut a major blood vessel; if that had happened he would have bled to death within a few minutes. "Can I take my arm out of this sling now Doctor Gwendolyn?" Caspian asks as the Doctor is looking over his arm and, one last time, his leg.

"Yes, you may, but you must do as little with it as possible for at least another week; no heavy lifting, and no sword training or practice."

"Uggg, Okay. Thank you Doctor Gwendolyn."

"You're welcome" she says with a kind smile as we turn to walk away.

"You OK over there?" I ask with a grin a few minutes later as we are walking to the throne room; he has been doing nothing but waving his arm all over the place like an idiot since we walked out of Doctor Gwendolyn's office.

"Yes, just trying to get used to having my arm out of the sling."

"Susan did the same thing when she got her sling off" I said as we reached the throne room.

"Really?"

"Yes, and for a while she kept moving her arm back to the position she had it when she had her sling on… out of habit" he chuckles.

"I would not be surprised if I start doing that too. We have a lot of documents to read today" Caspian informs me.

"Oh my, sounds like fun" I say sarcastically as we sit down and start a long day of work. The day drags by slowly, but finally we get done reading, and signing, many different documents "are we done now?"

"Yes" he says as he sighs in relief.

End A/N: This chapter was all over the place in my opinion, but what did you think? Please Drop a review and let me know, thanks!

I would like to thank the guest reviewer who signs with the name IceFlower for leaving his/her reviews on I think it was 5 chapters, it really meant a lot, thank you!

I don't know when my next update will be, but maybe if I catch up on my schoolwork tomorrow and Friday during the day I will be able to write a ton Friday night and get the next chapter posted next Wednesday.

With love,

Rebecca!
