Disclaimer~ I don't own Narnia. Well no duh. Enjoy the chapter!

At the castle, Peter and Louise were waving goodbye to the ship with their family slowly fading in the distance. When it was out of sight, Louise looked at Peter. "What do we do now?"

Peter smiled. "We get time to ourselves."

Louise rolled her eyes playfully. "Alright Mr. High and mighty King. What do you want to do?"

Peter chuckled. "I want to go into everyone's rooms. I don't know, maybe just jump on their beds."

Louise scoffed, raised an eyebrow, and crossed her arms. "You want to do what?"

Peter shrugged his shoulders. "They always yell at me whenever I'm in their rooms. I just want to investigate what's in their rooms."

Louise laughed. "Okay. Let's do it…you rebel."

Peter's face went serious. "I know I'm horrible." Then he smirked.

Susan looked at the Edmund who was in shock, excitement, and fright. He didn't know how to feel, they were in the middle of the ocean, and he was the only one who knew. Susan became scared from all the emotions edged on his face. "Well? Ed?" She bit her bottom lip in embarrassment.

Edmund just scoffed, and his wide eyes went back to normal. "I…congratulations Su!"

He hugged her. She was surprised at first, but then hugged back. When they pulled away, Edmund looked at her awkwardly. "Have you told Caspian?"

Susan shook her head guiltily. "I don't want this trip to be spoiled. If Caspian finds out he'll immediately want to go back home. It took so long to build this ship."

Edmund nodded understandingly. "How long have you known?"

Susan shrugged her shoulders. "Maybe a week. I'm not even sure if I am pregnant. All I know is all of the symptoms are here. Nausea, vomiting, tender breasts, and cramping."

Edmund pursed his lips. "And I'm the only one who knows this?" he asked trying to put things together.

Susan looked glumly at the ground. "Yes, and I hope you won't tell anyone."

Edmund pulled his older sister in for another hug and whispered, "I promise I won't. It's for you to tell. Besides, like you said, you might not even be pregnant."

Caspian was steering the ship, and it felt like he was meant to do this his whole life. His command on the wheel, the sea spraying him on the face just felt comfortable. He watched as Susan came from an area on the deck with Edmund trailing behind her.

She looked paler than normal and looked a little green actually. He also noticed Edmund looking scared and shocked at the same time. He looked back at Susan, and she made a face that looked like she was going to be sick.

Caspian looked down at her worriedly and waved to a fawn nearby to take the wheel. He went down to his wife and put a comforting arm around her shoulders. She smiled tiredly and leaned into his chest.

He whispered in her ear worriedly, "What's wrong?"

Susan lied, "Nothing,"

He let go of her and said sarcastically, "You could have fooled me."

She hated how her brothers taught him sarcasm. She walked past him and said over her shoulder, "I just don't feel good. I'm going to lie down on the bed."

Back at the castle, Peter carried Louise because her feet hurt. He sat her down in front of Caspian and Susan's room. He smiled at her, and she only rolled her. "Only to make you happy Pete."

He chuckled as he opened the door to their room. He sighed in frustration. "It's no fair their room is bigger than ours."

Louise let go of his hand and sat on their bed. "Um..their bed is nice and comfy. More comfy than ours. We should sleep in their room."

He walked around, and Louise looked at the bed carefully. "Susan made the bed before they left."

Peter shrugged his shoulders. "Could've been just a maid."

Louise shook her head. "No, she covered one pillow with a blanket and the other without. Her biggest pet-peeve was having her pillow covered by a blanket."

Peter scoffed. "Sounds like my sister. She has very strange pet-peeves."

Louise picked up Susan's pillow. "Did you ever find it awkward that your younger sibling got married before you did?"

Peter stopped walking and said over his shoulder, "I guess, at first. I knew what they were going to do, and I would never look at them the same way again. Then I didn't really care. I was happy for Susan and Caspian. I knew they were in love, and I still know."

Louise clutched Susan's pillow and moved it closer to her chest. "I remember how protective you were."

Peter chuckled and sat next to Louise. "I still am. I know that Caspian will protect Susan and take care of her. Now I have to protect and take care of you…and Lu."

Louise played with Peter's hand. "I love you, Pete."

Peter smiled. "I love you too." He pulled his eyebrows together in confusion. He noticed a slip of paper laying behind Louise. "What's that?"

He pointed to where Susan's pillow was. There was a note. Louise turned her body and picked up the note that was folded. She read aloud, "Dear Louise. I know Peter will want to go snooping, I know my own brother. Let him know you both can sleep in our room, and you may jump on our bed." Louise eyed Peter, and he turned a little red, and she continued, "I want to let you know that I just found out, I'm pregnant….I didn't want Caspian to call of the voyage, so I didn't say anything to anyone. I just wanted you to know, well because you can't do anything. I love you and Peter so much. Love Susan,"

Louise looked back up at Peter. He had so many emotions on his face Louise didn't know which one to read. She smiled to herself and then became scared for her best friend.

Peter stood up and stormed out if the room. Louise knew Peter needed a minute to think things through with himself, so she didn't bother him.

Lucy looked at the darkened sky, and Edmund sat next to her. Lucy sighed happily. "It's so beautiful." Edmund nodded his head not saying anything.

Lucy nudged him. "What's wrong Ed? You look guilty."

Edmund looked at Lucy. "What if I am?"

Lucy touched Edmund's wrist. She wanted an answer out of him that second. "What do you mean?"

Edmund shook his head and tried to pull off a smile. "I'm just kidding..I guess I'm tired."

Lucy looked around her. "Everyone looks about dead. I think I'm going to go to bed myself."

Caspian came into his room and already noticed Susan plopped and spread out on the bed blacked out in sleep. He chuckled inwardly to himself. He tiptoed past her and got a map from his desk. He blew out the candle next to the bed and walked back out.

Susan woke up and noticed she was still lying on the bed how she fell onto it. She also noticed Caspian was nowhere to be found and then realized it was pitch dark around her. She couldn't see a thing. She managed to find the door and stumbled out onto the deck. In the mist of her stumbling, she ran into Marianna.

Marianna had a horrified embarrassed look on her face. "Oh I'm sorry, your majesty."

Susan shook her head. "I'm trying to walk in the dark from just waking up. It's my mistake."

Once Susan walked away, Marianna headed down to her hammock. She laid down on it and moved around to get comfortable. She heard muffled whispers and laughter and drowned it out to fall asleep. She wanted to know what secrets this island had to hold.

Susan looked around and noticed a very tired looking Caspian holding up a map and reading coordinates to the captain, Kale. She walked up to the two of them, and she didn't say a thing.

She just let Caspian read the coordinates he was finishing. Caspian smiled as lively as he could. "Hey, sleepy head."

Susan mimicked an embarrassed face. "You saw me?"

Caspian touched his nose to her own. "You mean you sprawled out across the entire bed? Then yes,"

Susan stared into his deep tired looking brown eyes and suppressed a laugh. She gave him a peck on the lips. When they pulled away, Susan looked out on the ocean in front of her. "So how's everything going?"

Caspian put his hands behind his back. "If the coordinates are right…everything's great." He yawned and Susan looked at him concerned. He already started walking back to Kale.

Susan hugged him from the back, and she rested her face against his back. He patted her hands which were on his middle abdomen. She started, "Caspian go sleep. I'll take it from here. I promise I studied stars and coordinates and things, so everything will be good."

Caspian turned so Susan's hands were on his back. He looked her in the face to make sure she wasn't lying. She held out her pinkie. "Pinkie promise."

Caspian chuckled. "All right. You know I believe you."

She smirked and pulled out of the hug. She nudged him in the direction of the room. "Go Caspian."

He smiled and pulled her in for a kiss. They both closed their eyes, and Susan's hands were going up and down his back. His hands were on her face and moving down to her waist.

When they pulled away, they both smiled in delight and touched one another's forehead. He whispered lovingly, "This anniversary will be hard to beat next year."

Susan giggled. "You just wait."

He chuckled and left. She stood next to Kale. She looked at him, and she noticed he was fighting to keep his eyes open. "I'll be honest with you Kale. You look tired. You should rest."

Susan yelled to a man that was on the deck, "Hey you can you steer a ship?" The man nodded, and she yelled again, "Come up here."

She looked at Kale. "Alright you're free."

Kale smirked. "Thank you for noticing, Queen Susan."

Susan nodded back, and when he left, the man she called up stood behind her. "Why do you need me, your majesty?"

She knew that voice and turned around. "Markell?"

Peter went to his room and sat on his bed clenching his fists in balls. He knew it wasn't a good idea for Susan to be on the trip pregnant. She was told she could never have children, and there she was risking the child's life on a voyage.

Louise came in and sat next to him. She held his hand and put it on her stomach. He felt the kicks coming in and he smirked. She pecked him on the lips. "Do you want to talk about it?"

He shook his head. "There's nothing to talk about, Louise. All I want, is to know that this trip will end. Caspian and Susan know they can't have children. They've been pestered by the council for who knows how long. Now they're blessed with one. Susan's risking her chance."

Peter stood up in a frustrated way, and Louise hugged him from behind. She pressed her cheek against his back. She said barely a whisper, "Why do you want to stop it?"

Peter sighed in grief. "Aslan blessed them with a child. Not any other time but before the trip."

Louise started to rub his chest soothingly. "What does that mean?"

Peter put his head down. "It means Aslan tried to stop them from going on this trip. It's dangerous."

Susan had her arms crossed, and her face was grim. "Why are you here?"

Markell shrugged his shoulders. "My job is too tedious. I want an adventure too."

She rolled her eyes. "Who's watching over the kingdom for you?"

Markell shrugged his shoulders and looked guiltily at her. "My wife is watching over it….we didn't want a superficial wedding like you and Caspian."

Susan nodded her head in response. "So you know how to steer this thing?"

Markell chuckled. "More than you know, my Queen."

Caspian woke up with a strained muscle in his back and felt a body lump next to him. He sat up and moved the thick-white sheets up to see the most beautiful face. Susan was sleeping peacefully on her stomach resting her head on her arms. She was wearing one of Caspian's shirts and comfy pants. They were big on her, but Caspian liked it. He found it attractive.

He rolled over, and he was on top of her. His stomach was on her back, and his arms were wrapped around her torso. She smiled and said in a cracked-tired voice, "You're crushing me."

He chuckled and his breath moved some strands of her hair away from her ear. She giggled in the mattress, and then she became serious. She said with a hushed tone, "You know Markell's here? How did he make it on without anyone knowing?"

Caspian said whispering in her ear, "He's a king…remember? All kings get privileges. Especially ones who saved a queen's life."

"But of course." They heard a knock at the door and without moving Caspian yelled, "Who is it?"

Markell's voice answered back, "It's me sir. There's another ship in the distance."

Caspian moaned lightly in Susan's ear, and he yelled back at the door, "I'll be right out! Don't go anywhere near it."

They both heard the footsteps disappear, and Caspian got up. He got dressed, and Susan watched his muscular torso move with him. She smiled inwardly at how handsome he was. She got up and got dressed right next to him. They were both quiet and just focused on getting ready.

Edmund was already on deck with a telescope looking out into the bright daylight of the sun. He saw a big black vessel headed towards them. Edmund looked wide eyed at it. He didn't know how to handle this; he wished Caspian would just come up already. The crew members were confused and asking questions.

Lucy and Frederick were watching it approach together. Frederick teased, "It's probably pirates."

Lucy rolled her eyes. "Stop making assumptions. By the way, pirates are a myth."

Frederick poked at her stomach. "I was just trying to break the ice. Everyone seems freaked out by this."

Finally, Susan and Caspian came out of their rooms with weapons in their hands. Caspian yelled at the panicked jumbled crew, "Now everyone! I don't know what or who these people are. I would like for everyone to have their weapons strapped to them just in case. That will be the last resort, if it comes to it. We will pass by them. When we do, no one say or do anything. I will do all the talking. If they use force first, then we will attack back for defense."

When he was finished, everyone hustled to where their weapons were. Susan clung onto Caspian's arm, and he tensed his muscles when she did so. Susan whimpered, "Hopefully it doesn't come to the last resort….I don't want another fight. Those memories…" A shiver went up and down her spine.

Caspian wrapped his arm around her waist and squeezed her comfortably. He grinned at her to make her feel better. "It won't."

He kissed her temple, and then they went for a hard kiss on the mouth. They pulled away, and Susan ran next to Lucy who was staring into the sea over the railing. Susan pulled on her arm making her almost fall over.

Lucy glared at her and Susan said almost out of breath, "Lucy I want you to listen to me and actually do what I say."

Lucy nodded not saying a word. She saw the frightened and hopeful look in Susan's eyes. Susan continued, "Go into my room and sit on the bed….if you hear yelling or screaming don't come out. I want you to stay safe."

Lucy pulled her eyebrows together. "But Su…"

Susan grabbed Lucy's shoulders. "Lucy please. If anything happened to you, I wouldn't know what I would do with myself."

Lucy sighed in defeat. "Fine," They pulled into a hug and they both said, "I love you." Susan kissed the top of Lucy's head, and Lucy started to run off.

Susan said almost at a yell, "Wait! You'll need this." Susan tossed Lucy her dagger. Lucy looked confused at first, but Susan gave her a grim nod, and Lucy knew just in case.

The ship got closer, and Caspian was on the top of the deck. Susan was in between Edmund and Markell, Frederick was behind them. Susan looked up at Caspian who gave her a look of hope. He mouthed, "It will be okay." She looked back out to where the ship was coming from, and it kept getting closer. She could almost outline the bodies of people.

The ship stood right next to the un anniversaire, and Susan noticed a captain. He looked like one of her old stories as a child, black beard the pirate. The man on the other ship was a spitting image of Susan's picture book.

The man wore a pirate hat and had a big black thick beard, long black hair, a scar over one of his bright blue eyes. The man spoke first, "I am Frankford. Bilias Frankford. I know who you are King Caspian X."

Caspian nodded. "It's nice to see someone else on the high seas today."

Bilias answered back, "You see King Caspian we've known you've been out here all this time. You haven't crossed our territory. If you have, we would have killed you and your whole crew by now."

Caspian nodded respectfully. "I understand. We will stay out of your territory, Bilias. We don't want any trouble."

Bilias rolled his eyes. "Now come on King Caspian. You've sent people of your own to come pry on our doings."

Caspian looked down at Susan confused, and she only shrugged her shoulders. Caspian looked back at the captain. "We haven't sent anyone to spy on you. I swear."

Bilias became angry. "So you haven't seen these two people before?...Bring them out boys."

Two strong looking men brought two people out. One was a woman and one was a man, they had bags over their heads so you couldn't see them. Susan knew exactly who they were, she noticed a familiar baby bump.

The pirates removed the bags, and there were Louise and Peter. Peter looked at Susan and so did Louise. They both had gags on, and Louise looked sympathetically at Susan.

Peter said something through his gag, but no one knew what he had said. Bilias cleared his throat. "So you don't know these people?"

Peter shook his head at Caspian. Caspian knew if he'd said yes the pirates would have attacked. Caspian answered with a sharp, "No."

Susan whipped her head towards Caspian on anger. It then softened when she knew why he said that. Bilias sighed in grief. "I'm sorry I accused you of this King Caspian….I guess you wouldn't mind us killing them now then."

Before Caspian had any time to react, the two strong men had swords and started to bring them down on Louise and Peter's heads. Susan gasped and let out a muffled scream, "No!" she covered her mouth with her hands.

The guards stopped like that was exactly what they wanted to hear. Bilias shook his head at the ground. "Oh Queen Susan. I think you just gave away the answer I was looking for."

He paused for a moment to get a reaction from Susan. He then looked at Caspian. "Now, King Caspian. I don't like being lied to."

Susan looked up worriedly at Caspian. He looked back down at her in a fearful way. Bilias sighed. "Kill them."

The pirates yelled and started to fly over to their ship with ropes. The Narnians started to fight, but everything stopped when Susan yelled and half screamed, "Stop! I propose a trade!"

Markell grabbed Susan's wrist and gave her a look like, what are you doing. She shook her hand out of his grasp. Susan sighed. "Me. Me for King Peter and Queen Louise."

Bilias held up his hand, and all of his men started to fly back over to his ship. Bilias said, "Seems fair. You are a pretty woman and a queen at that. I like the idea."

Susan nodded and men came over to take her to the other ship. Caspian ran down to her side immediately and whispered, "Don't do this Susan."

Susan shook her head. "I'm going to do this. No more fighting, Caspian." She whispered right into his ear so only he could hear, "Just save me."

Caspian looked at her worried, and Susan only got pulled away. She yelled at him, "Take care of Lucy. I love you."

He choked out, "I love you too." And the men pulled her away. Susan got to Peter and Louise, and she took the binds off their hands and removed the gags. She hugged them both at the same time. Peter whispered, "We know Susan. We know you're pregnant."

Susan nodded her head, and Louise whispered, "I sure hope you know what you're doing. Those men are pigs."

Susan looked at her reassuringly. "Of course I know…I always have a plan."

Bilias pulled Peter and Louise away from Susan forcefully and threw them into the water. The crew put a rope down for Louise and Peter to climb up.

Before Bilias's crew took off, he yelled, "Oh and by the way, King Caspian. Don't try anything or we will kill you, your family, your crew, and your wife."

Once the ship was out of hearing rage, Peter and Louise were already on the ship and wrapped in towels and blankets. Peter walked up behind Caspian and said determined, "We're going after her."

Caspian nodded his head once and without a doubt. "Absolutely."
