A Narnian December || Winter one shots

Never let you forget

Prompt: Gingerbread

---------------------------

"Peter!"

Peter glanced up from the chess game he and Edmund were playing, frowning a little. "Yeah!" He called. 

"Come here please!"

Peter sighed. "Hold on Ed." He murmered, before leaving the room and dashing down the staird. "Yeah?" He asked as he walked into the kitchen to find his Mum. 

"Can you help Lucy with making some gingerbread?" Helen asked. "I'm going to meet your Dad from work and then we're gonna do some Christmas shopping."

Peter nodded. "I can do that yeah." He said with a small smile. 

"Thank you." His Mum breathed. "Everything you need is out already, don't burn them." 

Peter smirked. "I wouldn't do something like that." He said. 

"Try telling that to the chocolate cake you made last month." His mum smirked back. 

Peter bit his lip. "Right, yeah." He murmered, before shaking his head. "It'll be fine this time, promise." 

"Get Susan and Edmund to help too." His Mum told him. "It'll give them both something to do." 

Peter nodded. "Will do." 

"I'll be back in a few hours." Helen said. "And then we'll all set up the tree."

"Sounds good." Peter breathed. "See you later." 

His Mum smiled at him before quickly leaving, leaving Peter in charge of his siblings. 

Lucy came running in from the living room a minute later, smiling. "Are you helping me make gingerbread?" She asked. 

"I am." Peter told her. "Why don't you go and get Susan and Ed? We can make them all together."

Lucy nodded before dashing from the room and up the stairs, Peter bringing everything over to the kitchen table before his siblings entered the kitchen. 

"What we making?" Edmund asked, sitting down on one of the chairs around the table.

"Gingerbread." Peter told him. "I'm guessing we'll be eating them tonight when we set up the tree." 

Edmund looked extremely happy about this, and Peter couldn't help but laugh. "Anyone have any idea where we can find a recipe?" He asked. 

Susan nodded, disappearing into the living room and returning a few moments later with a recipe book in her hand. She flicked through the pages for a few seconds before placing it on the table, open on the page with a gingerbread recipe.

"Right, let's get started."

"Maybe I'll put them in the oven." Susan said quickly, stopping Lucy from grabbing the tray of gingerbread "You don't wanna burn yourself."

"Edmund you're gonna make yourself sick." Peter said, raising an eyebrow as his brother stuck some of the left over uncooked gingerbread in his mouth.

"Am not." Edmund said firmly.

Peter smirked at him, before shaking his head.

"This shouldn't take too long to cook." Susan said as she placed the tray in the oven. "In the meantime we should tidy up, we've made quite a mess."

"Indeed we have." Peter sighed, staring at the flour covering the table.

"Well come on then." Susan said after a moment of them all just staring at the mess. "It won't clean itself."

"This truly is great gingerbread." Peter murmered as he spotted Lucy grinning up at him.

Lucy's grin got wider before she went back to eating her own, staring up at the tree they'd put up that evening.

"Better cooked than raw." Edmund murmered to himself, but Peter heard and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Well, I'm glad to see that they're not burnt."

Peter stared at his Dad, mouth open. "No one's ever gonna let me forget that are they?!" He exclaimed.

The others just laughed, shaking their heads. "Never." They all said, leaving Peter rolling his eyes and playfully glaring at them all.
