Chapter 29. Welcome.

So the children followed the professor into his stuffy, and began to tell him the story. Everything from how they first arrived in Narnia to how they had stayed for years but when they returned to their world they were no older than they were before.

They told him about the coronation and marriage, the battle, Aslan, the witch, and all about everything in Narnia.

"It must have been beautiful…" the professor said dreamily.

"It was." Celeste said. "More beautiful than anything I have ever seen."

"And Aslan is still there? Oh how I remember when I first met him, I was terrified, but I soon learned I didn't have to fear him, I just had to trust him. Oh how nostalgic this has all been! And you all said something about a wedding, who was married?" the professor inquired.

"We were sir." Peter said, looking at Celeste."

"Oh, how pleasant! Any children?" he grinned.

Peter and Celeste both blushed.

"No Sir.." she said.

"oh..what a shame.." The professor said. "Anyway I think you should all get some rest, I'll take care of Mrs. Macready and your little incident. I'm sure you're all tired." And he ushered them off.

"Cant we all sleep together?" Lucy asked, wanting to talk more about Narnia.

"Well..I suppose..If its alright with everyone Peter said.

"Its alright with me." Susan said.

"and me." Edmund said, followed by Celeste and Peter.

"Alright then..how will we fit?" he said.

"Celeste and Susan can share bed, I suppose, since Susan's bed is the biggest. Cedric can sleep on the couch if that's alright and Lucy and I can share. can share." Edmund suggested.

"Alright.." Peter said. "I'm going to the bathroom, I miss my toothbrush." He joked. And left the room.

"Celeste, can I ask you something?" Cedric said.

"Of course."

"How come you and Peter never had children? Even after you two had been married for ten years or so?" he said.

Celeste sighed.

"Well… at first we thought about it, and we didn't think we were ready to be parents. But as they years passed, I guess we just decided not to, in case we accidentally ended up back at home and couldn't get back to Narnia, we would never see our children again."

"And because..I don't even know who my real parents are, and I would like my children to know what they are and who they are." She looked down.

"But we would be uncles and aunts! Wouldn't that have be wonderful!" Susan said, getting lost in the moment.

"Yes..It would…And I think I might have children one day..because, Ced, I think I know where are parents are…"

Cedric stood up.

"Where?" he said. "And how?"

"You know the locket Sara gave me, and the way it hat the letters CAC etched on it?"

"Yeah."

"Well.. I thought about what Henry said, and I found an old folks home called "Caring for the Aged Community. And If you think about it, CAC are the initials of our names, Cedric, Argentina and Celeste right?"

"I suppose..but what do you expect to find there?" Cedric said.

"I..I don't know..but it never hurts to try."she said.

"Does Peter know?" Edmund asked.

"Well..no..not yet at least, I think I have to do this on my own for now." And they all knew it was true.

Peter walked back into the room, already dressed in his pajamas and robe.

"What have you all been talking about?" He said.

"You." Lucy said, but Peter thought it was a joke and laughed.

"Alright, enough about Narnia, lets get to bed!" He said, and plopped onto his bed and fell closed his eyes.

"Good night!" he said, and everyone replied the same thing.

The next morning, Peter woke up to find Celeste gone. Only Susan was in her bed, and there was a small note on the counter for him. He picked it up and read it.

Dearest Peter,

I know that I should have told you sooner but I didn't want to wake you before I left. I need to find out who I am and who I will be, and part of doing that would require me to know my past. I promise I'll tell you everything when I get home, I'll be home in a few hours. I love you.

With much love,

Celeste.

Peter folded up the letter and put it in his pocket. He wasn't mad, he understood that she had to do it alone. He just wished that she knew he understood. Peter walked down the stairs to get some breakfast, but the professor stopped him along the way.

"My boy, come with me." he said, and Peter followed him silently. Why argue with the professor?

"You are still technically married to my daughter aren't you? Even if you are not in Narnia?"

"Yes sir.' He replied, wondering why the professor thought Peter would like anyone else.

"Then I expect you shall be faithful to her only?"

"Yes sir."

The professor nodded.

"Tell me boy, in Narnia, do they have wedding rings?"

"No sir. No chords, rings or anything else aside from us."

The professor nodded again.

"I want you to have this." He said, and handed Peter a small box.

"It was the ring I gave to my wife, and when you marry her in this world, I want you to give it to her. Just as Cedric will give my ring to his wife."

Peter held the little box in his hands and opened it. Inside there was a small ring, with a layer of diamonds in between two layers of gold.

"Thank you sir." Peter smiled, at least he could give her a good ring, he was wondering how he could afford one. He had money, but he wanted her ring to be spectacular, just like this one.

"Your welcome son, and welcome to the family." The professor said, and patted Peter on the back. "I must be heading off now, I have tea with the prince." He smiled, remembering Peter's last encounter with them, and he walked out the door.
