Hey guys! Here's a long chapter that kinda makes up for the long wait before the last chapter I posted.

Susan stormed into her room and noticed Caspian awake watching her while drowsy. Since he was already on the bed she decided to make her way to the chair at the desk. She lost it from her hormones and cried. Caspian heard her from the bed and threw the covers off of himself. He meandered his way over to her with wobbly legs.

Caspian lightly touched Susan's shoulder and looked at her with sympathetic eyes waiting for her to talk to him. Susan sniffled, "I'm fine. Go back to bed."

"If you're fine, then the marks on my back are fine too."

Susan looked at the ground, "At least your marks will turn to scars, scars are sexy. My crying is never sexy."

Caspian started to rub her back. "You're always sexy to me." He saw her smirk a little. "Hey, I got you to smile."

She smiled even more and they both walked to the end of the bed and sat. Susan kept sniffling from the crying that was happening before, and Caspian was fiddling with her hair.

He looked at her face, "Do you want to talk about it?"

She let out a deep sigh, "Louise, Markell, and Rose all left. Louise went back to Narnia for the baby. Markell and Rose left because of me."

Caspian turned her face towards him, "We already discussed this Susan. It's not your fault it's between the two of them. You've done nothing wrong."

She didn't meet his eyes, "You didn't even hear the worst of it. I smacked Peter in the face for not telling me Louise was leaving. We didn't even say goodbye."

Caspian smiled suppressing a laugh, "You smacked Peter? I think Aslan should rename your title. How about the smacking Queen? Or the pushy Queen?"

Susan shoved him lightly, "Oh shut it!"

"Hey! That has a nice ring to it the forceful Queen."

Susan put on a pout and crossed her arms. "Well I guess I have to do more gentle things."

Caspian looked at her with eager eyes, "Like what?"

"Things like this."

She pulled on the collar of his shirt and kissed him hard on the mouth. When they pulled away she asked, "Do I regain my title?"

Caspian bit his bottom lip. "The pulling on the collar was a bit forceful. My dear forceful Queen."

She smiled at him, "I guess I'll just try again."

She caressed his face with one hand and leaned in slowly for a kiss. It teased him from not going in full force. When she kissed him she traced his bottom lip with her tongue. She then bit his bottom lip which gained entrance into his mouth. He moaned a little from the pleasure. When she pulled away, she saw lust in Caspian's eyes. She smiled at the emotion she could give him. He went back in to kissing her and pulled her onto his lap. He kissed her jaw line and traced his lips down to her collar bone. She giggled, because his lips tickled her skin.

Susan pulled off Caspian's shirt, and he started to untie her corset. He said in between kisses, "I think you regained your title back."

She laughed and when Caspian was on the last string there was a knock at the door. This broke them out of what they were doing. Susan yelled, "Who is it?"

A female voice replied with, "It's me Lucy. Can I not come in?"

Susan looked down at Caspian, who was only halfway done with tying. "I'm a little busy at the moment Lucy!"

Caspian chuckled at the reply and Susan turned a little pink. "Oh, well you might want to come out soon."

They heard Lucy walk away and Caspian looked up at Susan when he was done. She had the same look on her face that he had, confusion. Susan put her hair up in a ponytail and before she walked out of the room, Caspian grabbed her hand. "Can I come out too?"

She felt his head for a fever and noticed he didn't have one anymore. She shrugged her shoulders and said, "I guess. Just be careful with your back, please."

He smirked at her and got ready. They both walked out of the room together and noticed the same things at the same time. The crew was running about getting things done. Also, there was a imminent dark storm cloud heading right for the ship.

After Edmund's comment, Peter went to the top deck and started to steer the ship. He smiled watching the ship move through the sea before him. Then, a wave of realization just hit him. He just let Louise leave without him. She was pregnant and he won't be there with her. He might not even see the birth of his own child.

He kept asking himself, what did I just do? He wanted to turn back around and get on the ship with her. He wanted to make sure she was safe. He knew he had to take care of his family. But Louise and baby are his family too.

Eustace stood next to him and Peter was so lost in his thoughts he didn't even realize it. Eustace tapped on his shoulder bringing back into reality. Peter looked at him and Eustace asked, "Why did Louise leave?"

"I'd rather not talk about it right now Eustace." He tried not to get choked up at the mention of her name.

Eustace shrugged his shoulders, "All right, let's talk about something else."

Even though Peter didn't even want to talk, he was glad someone was distracting his mind away from Louise.

Lucy looked out over the sea wondering what was lurking beneath it. She was still freaking out internally from keeping a big secret from her family. But she knew she had to protect them. She looked up to where the wheel of the ship was. She noticed Peter and Eustace were talking among one another. She then realized that a particular pregnant woman was missing. She hadn't seen Louise since they left the island. She ran up the stairs to the top deck to ask Peter.

She interrupted the conversation and asked, "Where's Louise? Pete?"

Peter sighed, "She left. She thought it would be best for herself and the baby."

"That's not even fair. I didn't even get to say goodbye!"

Edmund noticed the sad look on Peter's face and jumped in, "It's not even fair that Peter got caught in one of Susan's hormonal mood swings and got smacked in the face."

Lucy and Eustace looked at each other and started to laugh. Peter looked at Edmund and said, "Why are you exactly here again Ed?"

"Because I'm your brother and you love me." He added on a sarcastic smile.

Peter rolled his eyes and after that everyone on the ship heard the roar of the thunder. They all saw the dark storm clouds, even though they were far away. But these clouds were coming in fast.

Edmund looked at Peter, who nodded, and Edmund ran down the stairs to start giving orders. Before Lucy could run off Peter grabbed Lucy's arm, "Could you go get Susan? I don't want her hitting me again."

Lucy smirked and nodded. She ran down and knocked on Susan's door. She heard Susan yell, "Who is it!" Lucy wondered why it wasn't the normal come in that Susan would yell.

Lucy replied, "It's me Lucy. Can I not come in."

"I'm a little busy at the moment Lucy!"

She heard a chuckled come from Caspian and just thought Susan was taking care of him. She just shook her head, "Oh, well you might want to come out soon."

Lucy walked away from the door and saw a familiar face moving a barrel of pickles down to the storage area of the ship. Lucy went to help Frederick. He noticed who was helping him and smiled at her. She smiled back and Frederick asked, "How are you doing Lucy?"

She knew he was talking about the secret she had to keep from her family. "I don't really know. I'm mind is telling me to tell them but my heart says no. But I'm starting to listen to my heart more than my head."

"What is your heart telling you now?"

Lucy went to the opposite side of the barrel and kissed Frederick. When they pulled away Frederick asked, "Is that supposed to be a hint or?..." Lucy cut him off with another quick kiss and the two were smiling afterwards.

Susan ran up the stairs to where Peter was steering the ship and Caspian trailed behind. She put a hand on his shoulder and said, "I'm sorry for hitting you earlier. I was just mad and I let it out on you."

"It's all right. I know how hormonal Louise was in her first trimester."

Peter noticed Caspian was standing behind her, "Hey Caspian, I'm glad to see Susan finally let you out of your cave. We need all the help we can get right now."

Caspian nodded and looked towards the sky, "It's going to be a big one. I can tell."

Susan felt a raindrop hit the tip of her nose and she wrinkled it. Then she felt one land on her hand and then more fell. She heard pouring rainfall come from one side of the ship and then it hit. Everyone was soaked in a matter of seconds.

Lucy came out of the storage area of the ship with Frederick behind her. She saw the poring rain and the crew running around trying to get things dry. She saw a flash of lightning and a crash of thunder came right behind it. It seemed like it shook the ship. Lucy jumped backwards and into Frederick. She smiled shyly.

Frederick smirked back at her, "Are you scared of a little storm?"

"Little? This is huge!"

After the lightning strike, Susan noticed Marianna up in the mast tying the sail to the pole. She noticed Marianna was having difficulty and decided to help. She climbed the mast and started to help tie.

Marianna yelled at her, "Queen Susan! You shouldn't be up here it's dangerous!"

Susan retorted, "Then you shouldn't be up here as well! Let's get down!"

They both started to move their way to climb down. It was hard because the rain made it slippery. Susan slipped and was hanging onto the mast for dear life. Caspian saw her dangling from the mast. He ran to her and pushed past crew members in the way.

Susan was breathing heavily and was panicking. She felt her hands slipping beneath her grasp. Marianna tried to help pull her up, but she was too weak. Susan was groaning because her muscles were giving up. Caspian was underneath her and yelled, "Susan! Just hold on!"

"If you don't notice I already am!"

He knew if she fell from where she was and he caught her, she would at least live. "Susan! I need you to trust me! Let go!"

"You just told me seconds ago to hold on!"

Caspian rolled his eyes, "There's no time to argue Susan!"

She squeezed her eyes shut and counted to three. She let go and screamed in the process. She felt hands grab her and the person underneath her fell with her. She was save and fine. Caspian groaned in pain and Susan got up quickly.

"Caspian! Are you okay?"

He got up slowly and brushed himself off, even though he was wet. He scolded her, "You need to be more careful. You're pregnant for crying out loud!"

She held her head down and a huge washed over the ship. It sent the whole crew to the ground. Susan got up coughing up salt water. Caspian ran over to her and asked, "Are you all right?"

Susan nodded and noticed a man with his head against the wall of the ship. She saw blood dripping from one spot. She made her way over to the man and started dragging him to the door to go to the hammocks. Caspian ran up to the top deck to see if Peter was okay. He saw Peter already up and steering the ship. Peter's muscles were tensed up from the wheel trying to spin out of control.

When Lucy was hit by the wave her head hit something metal, and she felt woozy. Frederick picked her up and ran her into Susan and Caspian's room. He placed her on the bed and ran out to help more.

Susan placed the man on a hammock and wrapped his head wound. She saw his thankful eyes before he closed them. She went into the storage room for water to help the man. She saw Frederick all ready in there. He was getting water as well. "Frederick? What are you doing in here?"

"Lucy hit her head against something and she needs taken care of."

They both felt the ship rock and Susan thought it was another wave. They both felt against a crate. The door to the storage area closed and water started filling up. Susan ran to the door to open it, but it was jammed. She looked at Frederick with panic on her face.

Caspian and Peter fell by another wave crashing onto the ship. They got up quickly and Peter started steering the ship again. Caspian yelled over the howling winds, "Maybe if we drop anchor the storm will pass over faster! Rather than go with the storm!"

Edmund went with Caspian to drop the anchor over the ship. Edmund asked, "Where are my sisters?"

Caspian's eyes got wide and he ran into his room. He fell over in the process from the rocking of the ship. He saw Lucy lying in his bed. She sat up quickly and placed her hand on her head in pain.

He went to her side, "Lucy are you all right?"

"I just hit my head. I think I'm okay."

Susan was banging on the door, and the water was ankle deep already. "Help! Someone! Help!"

She was bloodying her knuckles from pounding hard. Frederick stopped her "Susan! Susan. No one can hear us. It's over."

She shook her head and kept pounding on the door.

Before Caspian left Lucy's side she grabbed his hand, "Caspian? Where's Frederick?"

"I'm sorry Lucy. I don't know."

Edmund went searching for his sister by himself. He went down below the deck and heard a pounding behind the door of the storage area. The door was blocked off by metal and wood. Edmund thought it was very heavy, he couldn't move it by himself.

Susan heard someone outside the door. "Whoever's out there get us out!"

"It's me Edmund! Susan is that you?"

She sounded relieved, "Yes it's me and Frederick's in here too. There's a hole and the water is rising! It's up to our knees!"

Edmund pushed with all his might and still couldn't move it. The ship jostled again and everyone fell. Edmund yelled, "I'll be right back."

Caspian walked out of his room to be pushed over by another wave. When he got up and made sure no one was hurt, Edmund grabbed his arm and started to pull him. Caspian asked, "Where are we going Ed?"

"You'll see Caspian."

Caspian got to the door and Susan heard footsteps again. "Edmund is that you? Are you back?"

Caspian yelled, "Susan! What are you doing back there?"

"I went to get water for an injured crew member! I'm pretty stuck right now."

As Caspian and Edmund grunted and tried to move the wood out of the way, the water was already up to her hip and coming in fast. Caspian whispered, "Damn, that's heavy."

Edmund nodded his head in agreement. When they moved everything out of the way, they tried to open the door. It was jammed. Susan started having a panic attack realizing they couldn't open the door. She felt like she couldn't breathe and felt claustrophobic. Frederick moved his way over to her. "Susan are you okay?"

Susan shook her head. "Frederick! I can't breathe! I can't breathe! I need to get out of here!" Her breathing patterns were out of control.

Frederick knew she was having a panic attack, and you can't freak a person out anymore or they might break down. He tried to calm her down. "Shhh. Susan. Breathe in, Breathe out, just like me."

She started to concentrate on her breathing and calmed down. Frederick asked, "Better?"

Susan nodded her head and half-smiled at him. They heard Caspian yell, "Stand back!"

He broke the door down with his sword. When the door opened water flooded out, and Susan jumped into his arms. Her panic attack wasn't as noticeable but was still happening.

They all ran out onto the deck and it was still pouring. Susan hugged Caspian's arm still trying to calm herself down. He looked at her worriedly. She gave him a convincing smile. Frederick walked past them and went for Lucy.

Caspian walked Susan to their room following Frederick. Caspian felt her shivering next to him. When they got into the room. Caspian sat Susan on the desk chair and wrapped her in a blanket. He looked into her eyes, "I want you to listen to me for once. Don't wonder off."

She tried to retort, "But what if...?"

He cut her off by placing his mouth on hers. "No buts, do you understand?"

She nodded and heard another crack of thunder. Caspian looked at her one last time. "I'll be back before you know it."

He walked out of the room and Frederick was still talking to Lucy. Lucy sighed, "Do you have to go back out there?"

"I'm afraid so."

"Well be careful and be helpful."

"Okay I'll see you in a bit."

When Frederick walked out into the howling wind, Susan sat on the bed. She stared at the door, "You've got a good one there Lucy."

"How long did it take you to figure it out?"

"Just today. I had a panic attack and he calmed me down."

Lucy smiled at the door. "Sounds like him. Always helpful and kind."

Susan smiled down at her sister. She was glad Lucy found true love. For some time, Lucy would doubt herself and think she would never find anyone.

After a few more waves, flashes of lightning, and crashes of thunder, the never ending storm finally ended. It was near midnight and all the men were dreadfully tired. They all just wanted to sleep. They left the ship in anchor so everyone could go to bed and no one would have to worry about steering the ship.

Lucy fell asleep in the bed and Susan's eyes were tired but she fought sleep to wait for Caspian. He came into their room soaking wet and tired. He picked Lucy up and carried her to her hammock. Susan laid out fresh-dry clothes for Caspian to change into.

When he came back into the room, he saw a tired looking Susan rubbing her exposed belly and smiling. He smiled at the sight and got dressed. When he was dressed he said, "At least you actually listened to me for once."

She said sarcastically, "What are you talking about? I always do what I'm told."

He snickered and kissed her stomach. They both lied on the bed together and fell into a blissful sleep.
