I looked at my mother, confused for a minute before she gave me a knowing look. Then it finally made so much sense. The reason I was vomiting, why some of my jeans won't fitting like they used to, why I had such a craving for ice-cream, why I been so moody as of late, why I was late… How did I not see it earlier?

I was pregnant.

Mum gently shook my shoulder to bring me back to the present. I looked into her eyes, expecting to see disappointment, but all I saw was love. It was then that I broke. All of my emotions I had kept hidden away broke loose. My sorrow from leaving Narnia, my heartbreak of leaving Caspian...it all came flooding out. My mother simply held me and it was the most comforting feeling in the world.

A few minutes later, when all my held back emotions were released, I looked back to my mother and began to explain.

"It was the night before we - I mean, Caspian, had to leave. We went on a walk, and Mum, it was the most romantic walk I've ever been on." I smiled at the memory, it's bitter-sweetness tugging at my heart. "As we watched the sunset, he leant down and kissed me and...yeah."

Mother gave another knowing smile. "I understand, my darling." Her smile turned more cunning and she gave me a gentle nudge. "Why do you think your father and I got married so quickly?"

"Eww! Mum!" Despite her words, I couldn't help but smile and eventually laugh along with her. After a few minutes of us hysterically laughing (I was so glad the others were out of the house)

We calmed to a slight giggle.

"Seriously though Mum, thank you for being so supportive. I know most mothers wouldn't react this way to their teenage daughter getting pregnant."

"Well, I just wished my mother would've acted more supportive when I fell pregnant with Peter." Her expression was one of wistfulness and I felt a pang of sorrow for what she must have gone through. She shook herself back to the present and looked at me again. "I do have to insist on one thing though, telling the father."

As soon as she said this I fell apart again. Not to the point of sobbing again, but my mother's voice faded away as I thought of Caspian, of how he would never get to be a part of this baby's life, how he would never even know he had a child.

"...Susan? So you will tell the father, right?" Mum sounded like she had repeated the question a few times.

Shaking her head, Susan replied, "Sorry Mum, I was just thinking. And no, I can't tell Caspian."

"Why not?" Mum seemed confused. "I know you said he moved away but we have the technology these days to contact people on the other side of the globe."

"Yeah, but he doesn't," I mumbled.

"Maybe you can figure out a way of him moving back up here or something. You are going to keep the baby, right?"

"Yeah, of course. It just isn't possible for me to contact Caspian okay? It's complicated, but I can't tell him about the baby."

"Oh darling," Mother sighed and thankfully dropped the subject. "It's alright. Why don't you go lie down? I think you need a rest after all the crying we just did."

"Okay," Susan agreed, suddenly feeling tired. Getting off the bathroom floor, Susan made her way to her bedroom. She rested her head on the pillow and instantly started to drift off. She didn't have the energy to think about Caspian right now, but God knows she would overthink the heck out of it when she did.

A few weeks have passed since Susan found out she was pregnant. She had told her siblings a few days after she talked with her mother, and thank heavens that they were just as supportive. Peter was a bit overprotective and wanting to get a hold of Caspian and set him straight - as any loving brother would, but Susan calmed him down.

When she was explaining who the father was, she simply told her siblings that contrary to their beliefs, the farewell kiss Susan bestowed (for lack of a better word) on Caspian right before they walked through the tree to go back home what not their first kiss.

I had only really one friend that I wanted to tell about her baby before I started showing and everyone found out about it anyway. That person was Mrs Jacobson. Her kindness towards me meant so much, and it was only right that she knew this too.

"Mrs Jacobson, do you mind if I talk to you before class?" I asked tentatively asked her as she was setting up for our class starting in only 5 minutes. I had hurriedly eaten my lunch to get here early to talk to her. I didn't particularly want a repeat of what happened the last time I stayed after class to talk to her.

"Yes of course!" Mrs Jacobson set down her papers and leant against the desk, smiling and waiting for me to continue.

I took a deep breath. "I just wanted to tell you…" another deep breath, "that I'm going to have a baby."

The last few words rushed out of my mouth and I lowered my gaze to the floor, to horrified to see her reaction. What if she was disappointed in me? What if she hates me now? This was a bad idea, I thought to myself. Just as I was about to leave the room, her voice halted my thoughts.

Her tone was soft, soothing even, exactly the opposite of what I thought it might be. "I suspected as much."

I slowly looked up, tentatively seeking her expression. It was warm and happy. What?

"You did?" I stammered, confused.

"When you were sick earlier in the month, it was very much how I was when I was pregnant. Morning sickness," Mrs Jacobson shook her head as if in a memory from the past. "Anyway, you just had the aura about you - and I just had this feeling."

"An aura?" I almost scoffed, but then I remember reading some books on pregnancy (yes, I've been doing my research lately) about how pregnant women have this glow about them.

"You're going to be the best mother," Mrs Jacobson's voice brought me back to the present.

We exchanged smiles then hugs for a while until the bell rang and students began to flood the room. Wiping tears from my eyes, I smiled at her again.

"Thank you, Mrs Jacobson."

"Please," her smile grew, "call me Cadence."

Author's note: Thank you guys so much for the reviews! Susan Pevensie16, you have been so helpful, and I feel terrible for saying this, but I don't think I'll add in the plot point about the tree and her friend...Thank you so much for the helpful advice though! I feel really bad a regretting it.. :( plz forgive me!

Anyway, please let me know what you think of this chapter and please give me baby name ideas! Still don't know if I'll make it a boy or girl so if you guys suggest a name I like, I'll probably just make it the gender to suit the name - if that makes sense!

Oh, and I know that the way Susan's mom acted about the whole teenage daughter being pregnant is probably not how most mothers would react but I just wanted Susan to have at least some support especially since she doesn't have many - if any - friends.
