Happy Early Weekend! Disclaimer~ I do not own Narnia...Enjoy! This chapter has a little magic in it.


Susan woke up with a throbbing head pain and no Caspian. She got dressed and noticed it was broad daylight outside. She ran out of the door and almost ran into Lucy on the way out. Susan gave Lucy a look of disapproval, and Lucy flushed red.

Susan noticed the crew looking excited, and Susan lost her frustration aimed towards her sister. "What's the rushing and excitement for?"

Lucy looked around her. "You didn't know? We're stopping at the first island. The crew's excited for real food."

Susan smiled and looked up to see Caspian steering the ship. She went up the stairs and stood next to him. She looked out into the daylight and saw the outline of an island up ahead.

Caspian pulled her into his chest, and she rested her head against it. Caspian said in a low tender voice, "You were sleeping, and I didn't want to wake you."

Susan smiled. "You know my favorite part about waking up is you there." Caspian chuckled, and suddenly, a girl screamed.

Both Caspian and Susan looked at each other, whose faces were both concerned and worried. Susan ran down to where the screaming came from. It came from where the hammocks were. Susan noticed a crowd, and a Peter surrounding the hammock. It was Louise who had screamed. Susan pushed her way through and saw Louise with tears in her eyes. Susan squatted next to Peter, and she took Louise's hand in her own.

Susan whispered, "Come to my room, and we can have privacy."

Louise nodded her head, and Peter helped her up. They walked through the crowd that dispersed. One fawn stopped Susan to ask if she was okay, and Susan's reply was, "Yes it was just a nightmare."

The three got to Susan's room, and Louise sat on the bed. Peter paced back and forth angrily, and Susan was confused. Susan looked down at Louse. "Okay tell me the whole story."

Louise sighed. "I was asleep and suddenly someone covered my mouth with their hand. Then I see my dress already lifted up, and a sword almost ready to pierce my stomach. I bit their hand, and they let go. I screamed, and then I remember Peter running to my side immediately."

Susan looked at Peter who was still pacing, and she cleared her throat. "So someone tried to kill your baby?"

Louise felt tears again and nodded. Susan sat next to her and said in sympathy, "You can sleep in here for as long as you want."

"I don't want to be a burden. I know what you and Caspian do. I mean Peter and I do it. This is your trip, and I don't want to spoil it by sleeping in here."

"No. It will be just like our old sleepovers. Caspian can sleep in your hammock and everything will be okay….you're never a burden Louise."

Peter turned red when Louise talked about what they do. He then stopped pacing. "Who would do something like this?"

Susan put her arm around Louise, and they both looked at the ground not answering Peter. Peter just stormed out of the room and almost ran into Edmund. Edmund looked at Peter's red face. "What's wrong?"

Peter sighed. "Well someone tried to kill my baby for starters….and Louise and I aren't even supposed to be here."

Peter shoved his way past Edmund, and Edmund stopped Peter. "When we get to the island, you can get a ship and go back home."

Peter didn't reply and just walked away. Edmund looked up to see Caspian looking down at him confused.

Lucy was rushing about getting things ready for arrival, and then she heard a scream. She didn't know what to think, so she just kept working. Edmund came behind her. "Did you hear that?"

Lucy sighed and nodded. "Always something on this ship."

Frederick came from behind Lucy. "So are you excited to eat real food?"

Lucy smirked. "But of course."

Susan walked up to Caspian, and he looked at her curiously. She looked at the ground with sadness on her face. "Louise…..well someone put a knife to her stomach…they tried to kill her baby Caspian."

Susan noticed so many emotions cross Caspian's face. There was anger, fright, panic, and worry. He looked away from Susan and said angrily, "This is the second thing that a crew member has done, and I can't take it."

Susan touched her stomach lightly and whispered, "What if someone finds out about me, and they actually hurt ours? I was never meant to have any, Caspian."

Caspian left the wheel and ran to the bottom of the stairs. He yelled, "I want everyone to group here now!"

Susan actually became scared from the anger and rage in his voice. He yelled once everyone was accounted for, "I want to know who is doing all of these horrible things! First Marianna was pushed off the side of the ship. Second Louise and Peter's baby was almost hurt or even worse killed! I want everyone to feel safe on this ship. Right now I don't think anyone feels safe!"

Everyone looked at one another guiltily. Caspian crossed his arms over his chest. "I don't want to know who's doing this….but I want it to stop….does everyone understand?"

They all nodded in sync and some said, "Yes sir!"

Caspian nodded his head once and said, "We are almost ready to port…I want everyone at their places."

Peter stood next to Susan, and she eyed him. He sighed out of relief. "I'm glad Caspian said something….Someone pushed Marianna off?"

She turned to him. "Yes, and she almost drowned. Who did Caspian and I invite to come on this trip?"

Peter noticed the fear in Susan's eyes, and he pulled her into a comforting hug. He whispered, "I won't let anyone hurt you, Louise, or Lucy. I promise."

Susan wrapped her arms around his neck. "But I thought you were leaving once we ported."

Peter pulled out of the hug and looked Susan in the face. "Not while I know there's someone dangerous on this ship."

She smiled hesitantly. "But Peter….what about.."

Peter put up a hand to make her stop. "Everything will be fine Su."

They ported into the docks of the island. This was a well-functioning island that belonged to Archenland. So luckily Markell and Rose were there to greet their other subjects. Everyone had weapons strapped to them; just in case.

Susan and Caspian held hands, and all of the anger and fear were gone. They were walking around the island enjoying themselves. They walked through the narrow cobblestoned street. They looked at all of the old houses and children playing along the street.

One ran in between Caspian and Susan, and they both looked at one another and laughed. Susan was glad that Aslan blessed them with a child. She just imagined her Caspian with their child cooing it to sleep and caring for it. Protecting it from nightmares and scary imaginations. She hugged his waist while they were still walking, and he kissed her temple on the side of her head.

She let go of him and let the scent of delicious food enter her nostrils. She smelled an apple pie; she gave Caspian a look that he knew it meant hungry. He smelled the same pie, and his mouth watered. He also got a whiff of Susan's scent; roses.

He whispered in her ear, "I'll get us some….don't wander off too far, love." She felt a tingle go up and down her spine from the warmth of his breath. He kissed her forehead and walked away.

Lucy and Frederick were also wandering around eating food together. Lucy was eating some kind of beef, and she sighed while sitting on a bench with Frederick.

Frederick looked at her with concern. "Uh oh…I know that sigh. What's wrong?"

Lucy bit her bottom lip. "Well it's a secret….you can't tell anyone." He nodded eager for her to continue. "Susan's pregnant."

Frederick looked shocked at first but then went back to a serene face. "Why are they still doing this then?"

Lucy looked around to make sure no one was listening. "Susan worked so hard on this…why give up all this hard work?"

Frederick tilted his head back and forth. "I guess that's true…but why risk something that you couldn't have?...That you were blessed with?"

Lucy looked down at Frederick's hands. "I don't know. Maybe they want to do something before they're held back from baby stuff."

Frederick smirked. "Baby stuff?"

Lucy nudged him playfully. "Oh shut it." They both shared laughs, but what they didn't know was that someone was listening the entire time.

Louise, Peter, and Edmund were all roaming as well. Edmund pointed to a little boat that the two of them could sail. Louise started to walk to it, but Peter put an arm in front of her. She looked confused. "Pete what are you doing?"

Peter said in a calm voice, "I have to look out for family Louise."

She tilted her head and looked down at her baby bump. She looked back up at Peter's eyes. "You're right Pete. Family comes before us."

He gave her a quick peck, and Edmund scrunched up his face in disgust. "You know you guys are about as bad as Caspian and Susan?"

Peter looked at Louise and said smoothly, "Oh no we're definitely worse than Caspian and Susan."

Louise giggled and kissed his nose while Peter touched her belly. Edmund scoffed. "Okay okay stop you've made your point. You're worse. Just for Aslan's sake please stop." The three of them laughed and walked around together.

While Caspian was getting pie, Susan walked nearby looking at the little marketplaces. Abruptly, an old beggar woman walked up to Susan. "Would you please spare a shilling or two?"

Susan had a bag tied around her waist and kindly gave the woman ten shillings. "Now don't go spending it all at once."

The woman was shell shocked. "I didn't need this much.."

Susan said gently and with a smile, "No I insist keep it."

The woman smiled at her, and two men came from behind Susan. One covered her mouth and held her back. She screamed from under the hand, "Help! Caspian! Anyone!" Then all of a sudden everything went black.

Peter let Louise and Edmund talk amongst one another. He wanted them to spend more time together. He knew how much Edmund never really got to know Louise until Peter married her.

Peter passed by an alley way, and the same old beggar woman that talked to Susan came up to him and said in a pleading tone, "My dear sir. Please. Could you spare some shillings?"

Peter also had a bag of coins tied to his waist. He pulled out five and put them in the old woman's hand. "There you are. Hopefully you find something worthy."

The woman smiled. "I already have." Peter had his hand ready on his sword handle. Suddenly, he felt something hit the back of his head hard and then darkness.

Caspian bought a whole pie for him and Susan to share. He looked everywhere for her, but she couldn't be found anywhere. Caspian mumbled to himself, "I tell her one thing….and what does she do? Not listen."

Caspian found Lucy and Frederick walking and laughing. He ran up to the two of them and asked in a rushed tone, "Have you seen Susan anywhere?"

They both shook their heads, and Lucy said haphazardly, "Not since we got off the ship….Why?"

Caspian groaned. "She's missing. I told her to stay put…but she didn't."

Lucy grinned. "Knowing Susan…she probably just found something exciting and went to it."

Louise and Edmund noticed Caspian discussing something with Lucy and Frederick. Louise ran up to them and asked breathlessly, "Have you guys seen Peter?"

Frederick raised an eyebrow. "Seems like we've got a few monarchs missing. Doesn't it seem a little suspicious?"

Everyone looked at one another for a moment thinking. Then Edmund sighed and said annoyed, "Let's go find them."

Susan woke up on a rusty floor with a pounding head. She noticed her feet where chained to some pole. She looked around, her eyes blurry around the edges from the pain. She noticed Peter also chained to another pole.

She used her arms to pull herself to him. She lightly pat the side of his face to wake him up. "Peter…Peter…Wake up."

She saw his eyes flutter open, and he groaned in pain. He rubbed the back of his head. "Where are we?"

Susan looked around. "Still trying to figure that out myself."

Peter pinched the bridge of his nose. "Can we go anywhere without anything happening anymore?"

Susan suppressed a laughed and said calmly, "I guess not….so how'd you get here?"

Peter shrugged his shoulders. "I just gave coins to a woman…"

Susan put her hands on her chest for exaggeration. "Me too. All I remember is giving coins to her, and then some men knocking me out."

The woman came in with a man that looked a little older than herself. She smiled darkly towards the two and plucked a hair from both Peter and Susan. Peter put his arm around his shaking sister for comfort. The woman put Susan's hair in a goblet, and Peter's in another.

She looked at the baffled siblings and said, "You see Queen Susan and King Peter….me and my brother here have been living in poverty for a long time….what's it like to be royalty?"

Susan shook her head. "Please just let me and my brother go. We'll give you money. You can buy a house of your own."

The woman scoffed. "Are you trying to cajole me Queen Susan? It's not going to work. Once we drink these glasses we will become you."

Peter said angrily, "I hardly believe you."

The woman chuckled. "Oh please….I've been studying potions and magic for a long time little King."

She drank all of the contents out of her drink, and so did her brother. Suddenly they both transformed into Susan and Peter. The woman gasped and said in a voice that sounded exactly like Susan's, "The name's Adeline."

Adeline took Susan's bow and arrows and Peter's sword. They both left Peter and Susan scared and sitting in disbelief.

The monarchs and Frederick were on their way to search for Peter and Susan. Lucy pointed to the imposters. "There they are!"

Fake Susan and Peter waved at them joyfully. Susan said, "Sorry; Peter and I saw the loveliest looking store, and we stayed in there."

Everyone started to wander away. Peter went off with Louise. Caspian lingered with Susan and whispered, "I thought I told you not to wander off."

Susan smirked. "Well you know me."

He leaned in for a kiss on the lips, and the fake Susan went right into it. When Caspian pulled away; he felt different. He had a muddled look upon his face, and Susan asked, "What's wrong darling?"

He must have been thinking of something. It was Susan he was kissing. Caspian shook his head and pulled a fake smile. "Nothing. Let's go eat this pie somewhere."

Back at the cell, Susan was crying on Peter's chest. "What if they leave without us? What if they never find out? You'll never see your baby….and if I'm pregnant then Caspian will never see mine."

Peter patted her head comfortingly and took her words to heart because he agreed with her. He sighed in grief. "Caspian and Louise will find out it's not us….I know it. They know who we truly are."

Susan sobbed. "You don't sound true to your words."

Peter pulled his sister closer to his chest. "All we need to do is have hope."

Louise was walking with fake Peter, and she saw a dress in the window of a store. "Oh Pete. Wouldn't that look great on me?"

Peter chuckled. "I think you're a little too big…don't you?"

Louise dropped her mouth. "Well if you're going to be that way. I don't think I want to walk with you. I'll go walk with Ed."

Peter rolled his eyes. "Fine. Go ahead do that. See if I care. You're not that pretty anyway."

Louise felt tears pierce her eyes, and she ran away crying silently. She knew this couldn't be Peter. He would never say anything like that.

Caspian was eating pie with Susan, but he found it to be more awkward than normal. He asked, "So how do you like it here?"

Susan sighed. "The children running around is strange. They need to stay cooped up and well behaved. They play too many games. Other than that it's great."

Caspian raised an eyebrow and thought Susan would never say something like that. She loves children. He cleared his throat. "Speaking of children, how are you?"

Susan's face turned surprised. "What are you talking about?"

Caspian glared at her. "You and everything going on…"

Susan's face turned bright red. "Oh everything's just dandy."

Caspian didn't trust this Susan. "Susan? What are you doing?" He whispered, "Is someone threatening you?"

Adeline found this to be her perfect chance to get rid of the real Queen Susan. She filled her eyes up with tears. "Yes….someone used magic to duplicate myself. I had someone lock her up, but she said she's still after me….same with Peter."

Caspian didn't comprehend at first. Then he shook his head out of disbelief "Take me to her."

Adeline stood up. "Alright…we need Louise and Peter too."

The real Peter and Susan were just waiting; waiting for someone to come and find them. To be rescued was all that was on their minds. Susan heard a noise, footsteps echo throughout the hallway.

She sat up and wiped her tears away. Peter sat up as well. Susan smiled and gasped once she noticed it was Caspian. She then noticed the anger and disgust on his face, and her smile faded. "Caspian….what are you doing? It's me."

The imposter came from behind him. "See? I told you she'd pretend to be me once we got here."

Peter noticed Louise. "Louise! I was wondering when you were going to find me."

The imposter Peter also stepped from behind her. "I told you he'd pretend to me as well Louise."

The real chained up Peter and Susan both had their mouths open in shock. The real Susan suggested, "If you don't believe me Caspian…quiz me and the other Susan."

Caspian looked back and forth between the two Susan's. Adeline rolled her eyes. "Do you not trust me Caspian?"

Caspian crossed his arms. "Just to be safe I'll ask questions. Whichever Susan answers them most correctly is the real one. And the Peter with her is also the real one."

Caspian pinched the bridge of his nose. "Who did we fight?"

The imposter answered first, "Archenland!"

The real Susan raised her voice. "Too easy Caspian."

Caspian smiled as if it was a good memory. "When I brought you back from Demeterius's castle…you were badly injured. When you woke up, you told me not to leave." He chuckled to himself at the memory and continued, "I said I had to leave to help the army. What did you say to the centaur once he came in and asked me for help?"

Real Susan answered easily, "I said Caspian's at an important meeting." Susan giggled to herself. Caspian smiled at her, and Adeline growled, and the potion wore off. "You fools!"

Suddenly her brother also turned back to normal. Caspian and Louise backed away. Caspian pulled out his sword. "Now the two of you better give back Susan and Peter's weapons, and we'll forget this ever happened."

The old Adeline rolled her eyes and threw the weapons down. "You haven't seen the last of us you Narnians."

A cloud of smoke formed around Adeline and her brother, and they disappeared. Susan and Peter's chains magically disappeared as well. Susan ran up to Caspian and jumped in his arms. She planted kisses all over his face and said joyously, "For a second I thought you didn't believe me."

Caspian smiled. "Do you doubt me? Besides I knew she wasn't you. Right after you said that was too easy. Also when she kissed me, I knew it wasn't you."

Susan blushed a little and looked at the ground. He pulled her face back up to look at her face. She noticed his crooked smile, and her knees wobbled. "I'll never know why I go weak at the knees for your smile, King Caspian."

He chuckled and gave her a passionate loving kiss. Peter and Louise also embraced in a warm loving hug and kiss. The four ran out and they found the crew. Caspian told everyone, "We're leaving."

No one asked why; they just saw a look on his face that said no questions just do it. Everyone got back on the ship, and the monarchs didn't share anything that happened. It would have just sounded too ridiculous.

Susan hugged Caspian from behind and whispered, "Did you save any pie for me?"

Caspian chuckled. "There's a slice left if you want it….in our room." He gave her a look that longed for the bedroom.

She smiled. "Oh I forgot to tell you, Louise is sleeping with me. You're sleeping in her hammock."

Caspian's smile faded. "Okay…is it from everything that happened?"

Susan nodded. "You understand right?" Caspian nodded in concern and understanding.

No one knew that this person actually knew about Susan too. It would be dangerous for both pregnant women to sleep together. There's a saying, kill two birds with one stone.
