I own nothing but Renee, Reanna, Marisa, and Alexander!

Epilogue

Until Next Time

Peter didn't know what to say. What to do. How to act. What was he supposed to do now? Marisa had been with them in Lucy's room when they broke out of the water. Edmund, Lucy, Eustace, Peter, Marisa…just no Renee. Immediately, thoughts of Renee returning back to her home time when she was a child made Peter hurt. He had wanted her to stay with him…but she couldn't. He felt…empty now. Even as he headed for Professor Kirke's home to study now, he felt nothing. If Renee had returned to her time, she would be dead by now and since Kirke was her sister's son, then he would know where his Aunt's grave would be. Peter…Peter had to see it.

He hoped that his thoughts weren't true. He hoped that Renee was still in Narnia with Reanna and the others and alive and waiting for the two of them to be reunited. If not…he didn't know what he was going to do, how he was going to react. He just crossed his fingers together and prayed, prayed that his thoughts were wrong.

After getting off the train, Peter didn't wait for a carriage from Mrs. Macready like he had with his siblings the first time they were here. Instead he just slung his bag over his shoulder and made his way down the road until he caught sight of the large mansion that he and his siblings had lived in before and after their first trip to Narnia. Memories flashed through his mind and he couldn't help but grin as he made his way up to the door.

There was a note on the door and Peter set his bag down for a moment as he read it.

Will be gone for a while.

Make yourself at home.

D. K.

Digory Kirke. If they were out, how was Peter going to get in? As he leaned against the door, he had to jump up to keep himself from falling as the door opened. Had they left the door unlocked or where they already home again? Or maybe…they had known that Peter was coming so they left the door unlocked.

Well, whatever the answer was, Peter was going in and going to the room he had last time.

"Professor Kirke?" He called out as he made his way through the house. "Mrs. Macready? Are you home?" There was no answers so he continued up the stairs and to the third floor. There was only one room in this house that he wanted.

After they were sent back home the first time, Peter had, with a lot of help, moved the Wardrobe into his own room.(He and Edmund had grown older so everyone was given their own rooms). He had wanted to keep it near to him, in case there was ever anyway that he could get back to Narnia and Renee through it. But now, it seemed that he was never going to get back to Narnia. And not to Renee, either.

His room was up on the third floor and he was actually quite excited as he reached to door. He would be glad to see that old piece of wood again. As he reached for the doorknob, he paused for a moment as his sight caught the golden band on his left hand. The wedding ring that he had received from Renee during his rule over Narnia. He had kept it since they returned from Narnia the second time.(Third for Lucy and Edmund) The first time it had disappeared from his hand and ended up, somehow, with his clothes in a chest beneath the ruined castle of Cair Paravel. Now that he had it here, he'd never remove it.

Taking a breath, Peter pushed the door open and stepped into his old room…

Just to have his mouth drop open and the bag dropped from his hand.

Her back was to him but standing before the Wardrobe, staring at the Lion's face carved into it, was a redheaded woman in a gold and blue dress. None other than the redheaded woman what he had been killing himself over for the last month.

At the sound of the door and the bag dropping, Renee Pevensie turned from the wardrobe and then smiled.

"I was wondering how long I would have to wait until you got here." She said.

The sound of her voice unfroze him and Peter was across the room in seconds, wrapping his arms around the woman and kissing her.

"Where have you been? Why didn't you come find me?" Peter demanded her between kisses.

Renee couldn't help but giggle as she pressed a hand to his chest, pushing him back a bit. "I've been here all this time; I don't know why. And I had no idea where I was," She told him. "If I were to go off and search for you I never would have found you! And besides, something…something just told me to stay here. And when I found this…" She gestured at the Wardrobe. "I knew that this was the mansion that you told me about multiple times before. This is the Wardrobe that led you to Narnia, isn't it?"

Peter nodded with a smile as all his emotions flooded back into him. "The others will be so glad to see you! We've all been worrying and thinking the worst!"

"Is Marisa with Edmund?" Renee asked.

"Yes," Peter answered. "The four of them will actually be on their way here next week before school starts again. They'll be surprised to see you, I'm sure of that."

Renee chuckled and buried her face into the crook of his neck. "I'm sorry. I thought that…for a little while…I wasn't in the right place. I feared that…that this was before you even went to Narnia and you didn't even know who I was and…"

Peter hushed her. "Don't think about that," He told her, giving her another kiss. "We're together now, and Caspian will take care of Reanna. I know that he will. Everything is good now and…" She nodded and they fell silent for a moment, just holding each other.

"What now?" Renee finally asked Peter as he continued to hold her.

"I was thinking about staying her and studying under Professor Kirke. Would you accept that?" Peter asked her. "I'll still take care of you. I'll even show you around the place, around the world if you want."

Renee shook her head with a smile before reaching up and kissing the man-turned-teen-again once more. "Whatever you want to do, Peter, I'll stand by and let you do."

Peter's face was full of joy and he walked to the door, talking about lunch. She grinned and paused for a moment as he moved further down the hall. She looked back at the wardrobe in the room. The Wardrobe that had started it all. She turned to leave the room again but once again halted, and glanced over her shoulder a final time.

Renee winked at the reader. "Until next time."

LOL! What did you think about that ending :D
