The End Of The Line
Third Person POV
"How'd she take it?" Alex asked as she and Edmund set up the picnic.
"Well. Very well in fact. She said she already knows her answer." he replied.
She stopped and looked at him. "And that answer is..."
"That's exactly what I said, and she said 'you'll have to wait and see'." he smiled.
She smiled. "That's wonderful."
"What did Erin say?"
"He seemed quite shocked at first. I suppose the prospect of his uncle and aunts still being alive had something to do with it."
"I was talking about his answer."
"He frowned, jumped in the water, came back up, spit the water out at me, smirked and said 'And miss the chance to do that again. Are you kidding? I'm coming with you and dad'. Then I threatened him that if he ever spit water out at me again I'd dunk him in the water." she laughed.
He laughed along. "Well, it looks like the family won't be breaking up then."
"That's such a relief."
"I know. The only problem is we'll never come back here." Edmund sighed.
"Yes. But at least we're together. And nothing will be able to split us up once we're all in England."
One Year Later
"I still can't believe it's been 13 years already." Caspian said.
"I know. But look at this way, Caspian. You're not alone. You have your wife. And trust me, if we can have twins, you two can have at least one child." Edmund said.
"I suppose you're right." Caspian said.
"Of course." Edmund grinned.
Caspian snorted. "But still. It's hard to lose a friend. I've already lost 6. Now I lose 4 more." he sighed.
"If you're counting Eustace, I'm sure you'll see him again someday. Aslan didn't tell him he would never return." Edmund said.
"Ok. So 5 and now 4."
Edmund nodded. "You'll be fine though."
"Yes. He will." a voice said from behind them.
Both Kings turned around, only to come face to face with Aslan. They immediately fell to their knees in front of the Lion.
"It is well, sons of Adam. Rise." Aslan said, with a Lions kiss to each of their foreheads.
An instant later, Alex, Erin, and Lacey were walking towards them. When they had come close, they each bowed.
"Rise, my children." He said, giving each of them a Lions kiss as well.
They each stood, and moved closer to Edmund.
"Erin, Lacey, have you come to a decision?" Aslan asked.
"We have, Aslan." they replied in unison. He nodded in understanding. "But please, Aslan, will we ever come back?" Lacey blurted out.
Aslan smiled. "Yes, my child. You and your brother shall return once more. You have not yet surved your purpose."
Alex bit her lip and Aslan turned to her.
"You have something on your mind?"
"Yes, Aslan. I do. It's my mother. What will happen to her?"
Aslan chuckled. "Turn around and you may ask her yourself."
Alex turned around and gasped. "Mum?"
Her mother smiled, tears glistening in her eyes. "Yes, love, it's me. Oh my goodness look at you. You're a woman." her mother said, embracing her tightly.
When her mother released her, Alex turned to Edmund. "I believe you met him once. But mum this is Edmund, Edmund this is... mum." Alex said cheerily.
Her mum chuckled. "You can call me Lora if you like." Edmund smiled.
"It's nice to meet you." he said.
"Oh forget a handshake. Give me a hug." Lora smiled.
"Lucky he's a hugger." Alex joked.
"This is wierd." Erin whispered ot Lacey.
"Yeah." she replied in a whisper.
Lora turned to Erin and Lacey. "Are these..."
"Your grandchildren? Yes, they are." Alex smiled.
Aslan waited patiently as Lora greeted Lacey and Erin. "Lora, my child, you have a choice. You may go with your daughter and her family, or you may go back to your own time." He said after a few moments.
"I'll go with them. I have nothing to live for there anymore." Lora replied.
"Then you shall go with them. Now, say your goodbyes to Caspian and Ramandus Daughter. For time runs short and you must return to England." He said.
It was certainly a tearful goodbye. Moments later, they were in England.
Present Time
"So, we settled down close by about a year ago. I called Eustace after his school finished and he said that he had been to Narnia with Jill. And when I found out that he was coming today, we decided to reveal ourselves to you." Edmund said.
"Have Erin and Lacey went to Narnia yet?" Lucy asked.
"No, we haven't yet." Erin said.
"But they're so small now. Will it be safe for them?" Peter asked.
Erin grunted and crossed his arms.
"I didn't mean it to offend you." Peter said.
"I know. But it's ridiculous. I mean I know big words but when I say them people gawk at me like I'm some kind of madman." he said.
"And we used to be able to defend ourselves but now we're not able to." Lacey added.
"You'll be able to again someday." Edmund said, pushing her hair behind her ear.
The house fell quite and it was then that Eustaces stomach grumbled. He made a face. "I don't mean to interupt quiet time... but can we eat?"
