The morning of Louise's baby shower, Susan got up early. She noticed Caspian was still sleeping and didn't want to wake him up. She kissed his cheek, and Caspian only moved a little in his sleep.

She ran down to the ballroom where Louise's baby shower was going to be held. Since they were royalty, they decided to hold a ball. The theme was yellow with sun, sunflowers, and bees as the theme.

Susan had sunflowers placed everywhere and yellow draping as well. Susan didn't have much help from servants, because of the ship. It was mostly her and Lucy working on it. They promised Louise that they could do it, and she didn't have to worry.

She was running around getting food, decorations, and drinks ready. Caspian eventually woke up and found her running around crazily. He watched as she tried to pin draping along a table. It kept falling down, and she mumbled angrily-inaudible words for Caspian's ears.

He walked up to where the drape fell and pinned it up. She smiled at him gratefully. "Thank goodness you showed up. I need so much help."

Caspian wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her into him securely. "Well where can I begin?"

Susan grabbed his hand that was on her waist and pulled it off. She dragged him to the kitchen and pointed to where the drinks were. "You can start making punch that has no alcohol. Also you can put glasses on the table with a white sheet."

Caspian raised an eyebrow. "Can't you get a maid or servant to help you as well?"

Susan became worried from her horrible lying. "I gave them the day off."

Caspian shrugged his shoulders. "Okay, next time could you let me know?"

Susan smiled and nodded. "Yes of course."

Caspian went to make and pour drinks, as Susan ran back into the ballroom. She sighed of relief. Finally, Lucy came in and helped with Frederick right behind her.

Once everything looked perfect to Susan's eyes, she took Lucy to start getting ready for the ball of course. Susan did Lucy's hair and makeup. Once Lucy was ready, Louise came into Susan's room. She looked a little pale in the face to Susan.

Susan put a light hand on Louise's shoulder. "Is everything alright?"

Louise sighed as if she couldn't lie. "I just feel sick to my stomach is all."

Susan nodded respectfully. Susan touched Louise's stomach lightly and rubbed it. She smirked while doing so and said, "I think your baby bump is so cute."

Louise giggled. "I think so too…oh..he's kicking again."

Susan laughed. "He is…Lucy come feel!"

Lucy placed her hand on Louise's stomach and squealed. "Do you know what you're going to name him?"

Louise shook her head. "Peter and I haven't thought of one yet. It is rather early."

Lucy giggled. "If it's a girl you should name her Lucy." The three girls giggled thinking of different names and getting ready.

When the girls got to the ball, Lucy had Frederick escort her to the ballroom. In Fredericks's eyes, she was breathtaking. Her hair was in long curls with a braid in the back. Her collar bone could be seen with her golden dress on to match the color scheme.

Susan was escorted by Caspian as well. She noticed that Edmund didn't have anyone, so she let both Caspian and Edmund escort her to the ballroom. She also wore a golden dress with her hair in a bun. Her crown was on top of her head, and her wedding ring had a nice luster.

Louise was last to be escorted for it was her own baby shower. As you would expect, she was escorted by Peter. The crowd was excited for the new royal baby. There were rumors and bets going around about what gender.

Peter and Louise shared a few dances until Louise grew very fatigued. The whole congregation got up and danced and had a great time. Edmund noticed a girl watching him. She was sitting at a table which looked like her father was sitting with her.

He noticed her get up and walk up to him. "My name is Diana," Edmund nodded and slouched against the stone wall. "I think you know my name already Diana."

She smirked. "I've never met a king that's been so informal before."

Edmund eyed her. "I am not very surprised. Most people say that about me."

If Edmund was being honest with himself, he wanted her to leave him alone. He didn't want to court anyone. He saw Peter, Susan, and Lucy with someone, and they all made it look perfect and easy.

Edmund always thought he didn't have the charm. He always thought that if he did court a girl it had to be perfect like Peter, Susan, or Lucy. He looked the girl up and down and thought she was pretty.

But he could also tell she was snobby. She had a look to her that neither of his sisters or Louise had. She held out her hand. "Care to dance?"

Edmund looked at it and didn't want to be rude. He lightly touched it. "Sure."

She giggled flirtatiously. "You are definitely not formal…I like it."

Susan rested her head on her husband's shoulder at the table they were sitting at. She saw from a distance her little brother dancing with a girl about his age. She grinned a little at him. She whispered as Caspian took a sip of his drink. "He looks like he's not enjoying that dance."

Edmund was looking everywhere but at the girl he was dancing with. The girl looked at Edmund hurtfully. "You know if you were going to avoid me while dancing, why didn't you just say no to dance with me?"

Edmund looked down at her chocolate-brown eyes. He said back, "I wanted to start acting formal."

She scoffed. "Well maybe you shouldn't have been…I hate how all the formal men have to lie."

Edmund looked at her confused. "So you don't like formal men because they lie?"

She nodded while they were still dancing. "My father always sets me up with the worst of men."

Edmund nodded understanding this girl. He said, "Well would a formal man go on a voyage to make his sister happy? Even though it means he could die?"

Diana swayed back and forth with her blonde hair shaking. "What do you mean?" Edmund sighed. "She is going to make an announcement tonight."

She smiled. "Well I think that you're different."

Edmund actually smiled. "So your father…how is he special to be here tonight?"

She looked her father's direction, and Edmund somewhat recognized him. Diana looked back at Edmund. "He's the head council man for King Caspian." Edmund's eyes almost popped out.

The head council man was eyeing Caspian and Susan. He took a drink from his goblet and had a grim look on his face. He saw how happy they were together and hated them like that. He didn't understand why they weren't worried or scared.

He turned his head for a second and noticed his daughter dancing with the third king of Narnia. He looked at them angrily and confused, but then he relaxed in his seat when Edmund looked shell-shocked and stopped dancing with her.

Lucy saw Edmund from a distance look upset. She stopped dancing with Frederick, who looked worried for a second but then saw what she was looking at. She walked over to her older brother. He was already done dancing with Diana.

He was leaning near the drink table. Lucy put a light hand on his shoulder, and he shook it off. She became frustrated. "What's wrong Ed?"

Edmund shook his head. "I danced with the head councilman's daughter."

Lucy's lips formed a tight line. "Do you want to talk about it?"

Edmund looked at the ground. "No. Go have fun. We have a long trip to talk about it." Lucy looked sympathetic. "Well Ed I'm always here for you."

Edmund looked up and smiled at her. "I know….go dance with your Frederick." Once Lucy walked away, Edmund's smile faded.

Susan noticed the guests having a great time and found it to be a great opportunity to get up now. Caspian was discussing something with one of the guests near the drink table.

Susan got in front of the crowd and clinked her glass with a fork, and the crowd turned to her. The woman talking to Caspian smiled at him like she knew something.

Caspian looked at the woman and pulled his eyebrows together. "What is my wife doing up there?"

The woman whispered back, "You'll see."

Susan raised her voice to almost a yell as she said, "As most of you know tomorrow it will be King Caspian's and my anniversary." The crowd acclaimed, and Susan waited for it to settle down. "Tomorrow King Caspian, myself, Queen Lucy, King Edmund, and some other Narnian crew members will be going on a ship. We will be going to the legendary Tarkly Island."

Caspian smiled brightly, and the crowd gasped with excitement, and Susan continued, "I want King Caspian's and my marriage to be adventurous and an exciting one."

The crowd awed, and Caspian came up to Susan absolutely touched. He had a touching smile on his face, and Susan mimicked it herself. He pulled her into a hug and whispered, "So you've been working on this behind my back?"

Susan nodded on his shoulder and whispered back, "I wanted it to be a surprise."

Caspian chuckled, and Susan felt his breath on her cheek. "Well my dear wife I am definitely surprised….and just being with you is adventurous enough."

Susan smiled and pulled him into a quick peck on the lips, and the crowd thought it was something spectacular. Caspian said to the crowd with his arm still around Susan's waist, "Enjoy the rest of the night."

Caspian squeezed his arm around Susan's waist closer to him. He kissed her temple and said with gladden, "This is the greatest anniversary present any man could receive."

Susan looked at his jaw and said with sarcasm, "Oh stop it." And she poked at his stomach.

He chuckled and whispered in her ear as quietly as he could, "Are you ready to leave this ball?"

Susan looked into his passionate eyes, and she smiled. "Hold on….I made this ball. I want to be here most of the time."

Caspian took her hand in his own. "Whenever you're tired just let me know. I'll go converse with some more guests."

Susan looked back up at him and kissed his cheek. "Thanks for understanding. I might not see Louise give birth, so I want to be with her most of the time."

Caspian rubbed his thumb over her knuckles. "Alright…break." Susan giggled and watched as Caspian went to talk to a fawn.

Edmund smiled as Susan gave her speech, but he was still slumped against the wall. Louise came over to him and had a comforting smile on her face. "Hey Edmund,"

He looked her way and smiled back. "Hey."

She slumped next to him. "I didn't think walking would be a task. My feet are killing me. How did your mother manage four times?"

Edmund chuckled. "Sometimes I wonder that myself."

Louise looked at her stomach and said not making any eye contact with Edmund, "Edmund do you like me?"

Edmund looked at her grave face. "Excuse me?"

Louise sighed in grief. "You haven't talked to me in a long time. I just don't know if you like me. I am technically a sister to you."

Edmund's face softened. "Louise of course I like you. I am so excited to be an uncle. Peter is a lucky guy to marry you. Trust me I have no idea why you married my dim-witted brother."

Louise put a hand to her mouth and tried to hide her giggle. "Sometimes I wonder that myself."

Edmund smirked. "This is your ball, go enjoy it."

Louise held out her hand for Edmund to take. "Not without you. I'm not leaving this ball seeing you drunk or still slumped here. Come dance with me."

Edmund chuckled. "You are persistent. Alright one dance," She smiled and looked at Peter; he smiled back right at her noticing who she was with.

Lucy was dancing with Frederick, and her head was on his shoulder. She stopped dancing and sat down. "Frederick do you really want to go? Or do you want to go just because I'm going?"

Frederick sat down next to her. "Can I answer both?"

Lucy had a pleading look in her eyes. "Why are you going? Why did you say yes?"

He looked into her eyes, and he sighed. "I want an adventure Lucy. I also want to share that adventure with you. I love you." He cupped her cheek with his hand.

She moved her face into it and kissed his palm. "I love you too."

The woman that was talking to Caspian a while ago bumped into him again. "Oh I'm sorry your majesty."

Caspian shook his head. "No, it's quite alright."

She said with happiness in her voice, "I'm going to the voyage tomorrow."

Caspian turned to face her. "Really? What's your name?"

She curtseyed. "Marianna. Your majesty."

Caspian watched the top of her head go down. "So my wife invited you on the trip?"

She smirked. "Yes she did. She said to me that there need to be more women. But actually it's just Queen Susan, Queen Lucy, and myself."

Caspian chuckled. "Sounds like her."

Marianna looked into his care-loving brown eyes and said with happiness, "You really do love her…don't you?"

Caspian looked at Susan from a distance, who was watching Edmund dance with Louise. He smiled at her while he said, "With everything I have."

Marianna was jealous of that love. She wished deep down that some man would love her like that. She didn't care if he was wealthy or poor, healthy or sick. She just wanted love like Caspian and Susan's.

Caspian stopped gazing at Susan and looked back at Marianna. Marianna was eyeing his ring finger. "What is that?"

She pointed to Caspian's silver ring on his finger. He smiled at it. "It's my wedding ring. It's tradition where Queen Susan comes from. Whenever you marry someone you both get rings. They both mean you are committed to each other for life."

Susan noticed Lucy dancing with Frederick again, and she tapped Frederick on the shoulder. Frederick turned to look who it was and noticed Susan. Susan smiled. "May I cut in?"

Frederick nodded. "But of course." He took Lucy's hand and placed it into Susan's. Susan and Lucy giggled, and Susan started to dance with Lucy in a funny way.

Susan asked, "So how are you two?" Lucy looked Frederick's way and looked back at Susan. "We're the best we've been in a while…I've missed him so much. I'm glad he's going with us."

Susan became gleeful. "I'm glad he is too. This will be the best adventure ever."

Lucy scoffed. "You know Frederick said he wanted to go because he wanted to experience this adventure with me."

Susan looked over at Frederick. "I'm sure that got a kiss."

Lucy rolled her eyes. "Oh shut up, girl with the perfect husband."

Susan stuck out her tongue. "You're just jealous."

Lucy sighed and said sarcastically, "I'll be sure to tell Frederick that."

Susan became sarcastically excited. "Oh and tell him he has to grow out his hair and dye it black. Then you wouldn't be jealous anymore." Lucy and Susan giggled at the same time. You could tell they were sisters.

Once Edmund and Louise were done dancing, Louise was the most tired she'd ever been. She stood in front of the guests and said, "Thank you for coming. I hope you all enjoyed your night. I know King Peter's and my baby is healthy, and it's thanking too….oh yea it's kicking, definitely thanking you."

The crowd chuckled, and she continued, "The ball is over, and I hope you all have a safe trip home. I also wish King Caspian and Queen Susan good luck. You should all sned your best wishes on your way out for their trip."

Susan rolled her eyes because Louise knew exactly what they were going to do, but Louise just wanted to do something to Susan before she left. Caspian was annoyed too. Susan and Caspian waited an hour before everyone left. They had to or else they'd be bad hosts for the ball.

Louise helped clean up and so did Peter. Peter mumbled as he took down a drape, "You wouldn't let me help plan or decorate, but of course you let me help clean up."

He didn't mean of anyone to hear that, but Louise patted his cheek. "Of course I would." He flushed red a little.

Once all the guests left, Susan ran to Caspian and jumped into his arms. She squealed with happiness once he caught her. Her legs were wrapped around his waist, and his hands were on her thighs.

Peter rolled his eyes and yelled at them angrily, "Oh save it for the bedroom!"

Louise looked at Peter with all seriousness. "They are dear."

Peter flushed a deeper red, and before he could say or do anything, Louise called for him. Caspian twirled Susan around, and they both ignored Peter's comment altogether. She stretched her neck out and gave him a kiss on the lips. He put her down, and he grabbed her hand.

He drug her up the stairs, and she giggled while they did so. While they ran up the stairs, they got to the hallway where Caspian's bedroom was. Caspian picked her up again and started to carry her down the hall. She rested her head in the nook of his chin. They stopped when they bumped into someone.

Caspian set Susan down to see who they ran into. It was Marianna. Caspian cleared his throat to become serious. "Is everything okay Marianna?"

Susan turned bright red, and she looked at Caspian and whispered, "I'll be in the bedroom." She kissed his cheek and jogged down the hallway making her heels click.

Caspian stood in front of Marianna looking annoyed and had his arms crossed. Marianna looked down nervously. "I'm sorry for barging in on the two of you."

Caspian tried to hide the annoyance in his voice. "It's fine."

She cleared her throat. "I was trying to find the way out…I accidentally went down this hallway."

Caspian nodded understandingly and then said calmly, "I'll show you the way out…if you're going on the voyage, shouldn't you know the castle by now?"

Marianna looked at the ground. "It's my first time here actually."

Caspian sighed. "This way,"

When Caspian went through the ballroom with a woman other than Peter's sister, Peter became a little worried. "Is everything alright."

Caspian pointed with his thumb behind him. "She got lost…I'm showing her the way out."

Louise went up behind Peter and whispered in his ear, "That's a good way to ruin the moment."

Peter suppressed a laughed and turned to her. "Anymore baby kicks?"

She grinned slightly and took her belly in her hands. "Nope. My feet are hurting me though."

Peter bent his knees into a squat and kissed Louise's belly and rubbed it. He loved feeling where his baby would be. He wanted to be a father all his life. Now he was actually going to be one. Peter whispered to her belly, "Hey there little one daddy's here. I love you."

Louise gasped and almost automatically placed her hands on her stomach. "Oh he's kicking."

Peter and Louise laughed. Louise touched Peter's shoulder. "He can hear you Pete." Peter stood back up and kissed Louise on the lips.

It was a happy kiss that would make anyone smile. Caspian walked by them. "Save it for the bedroom." They pulled away, and Louise let out a laugh while Peter rolled his eyes.

Susan was sitting upright on the bed and had Caspian's pillow on her lap. She liked to smell it because it smelled like him. She heard the door click open, and she smiled.

She stopped when she saw Lucy come in. She tried to smile for her sister and then lit a candle. Lucy sat next to Susan and put her head on her lap. Susan started to play with Lucy's hair. "What's wrong Lu?"

Lucy sighed. "I can't sleep…I just keep thinking about tomorrow."

Susan nodded and felt her eyes start to get tired. "You can lay in here with Caspian and me until you fall asleep."

Lucy shook her head in Caspian's pillow. "Just talk to me, and I'll become tired enough to sleep on my own."

Susan kept playing with Lucy's hair comfortingly. "Okay, I know that tomorrow might be the most boring part of the trip. There won't be any islands or anything."

Lucy smiled tiredly. "I won't be bored. I have you, Ed, Caspian, and Frederick."

Susan let air out of her nose tiredly. "That's sweet,"

Susan then said, "Everyone will have an experience they can't have anywhere else."

Lucy whispered back drowsily. "No doubt about that."

Susan then whispered, "Tomorrow will be my anniversary."

She heard Lucy's breathing deepen and noticed she fell asleep. Susan then heard the door open again, and it was Caspian. Caspian said strained and happily, "Now where were…"

Susan put a finger to her lips, and Caspian saw Lucy on his bed. Susan whispered, "She couldn't sleep. Could you take her to her room?"

Caspian sighed. "Alright, I'll be right back."

Susan smiled. "I'll be here…waiting." He smiled at her soothing playful words. He picked up Lucy easily and walked her out of their room.

Once Susan watched Caspian walk out, she felt so tired. She tried so hard to stay awake, but then she put her head down. She completely blacked out.

Caspian came back into the room and found Susan asleep on the bed cuddling his pillow. He smiled at the sight. He took off her shoes and picked her up as easily as Lucy. Susan gasped out of her sleep and rubbed her eyes while in Caspian's arms. She yawned. "Did I fall asleep?"

Caspian chuckled. "Yes you did."

Susan groaned. "I'm sorry….tomorrow is our anniversary though." Caspian put her under the covers and he got in on the other side. He took his shirt off and only had comfy pants on.

Susan moved into the position on his chest. She loved feeling the heat emulating off of him. He wrapped a firm arm around her waist. She pressed her lips gently to his chest. And then put her hands there.

He placed his free hand on her hands. She noticed it was the hand with his wedding ring. She fiddled with his finger that it was on. He smiled down at her and kissed her head.

She whispered, "Tomorrow's a big day Caspian. We need our sleep." Caspian only made a groaning noise which meant yes. Susan giggled tiredly and felt her eyes tug on her to sleep.
