i showed Christopher to his room which was the one Peter and Edmund slept in.

"clothes should already be here according to everyone else you been her some time" i said as he looked around.

"why are they two beds?" he asked sitting on one.

"this used to be a guest room infact this is where your father and uncle Edmund slept when they came here" his eyes lit up in excitement

"really what else did they do here" i laughed and held out my hand

"come on I'll show you and tell you everything" he ran and took my hand.

"i missed a few things due to the fact that when the best stuff happened i was studying with grandpa. anyway the story of how we go into Narnia." i paused as we walked through the grounds

"the night before we enter i was star gazing with grandpa and at some point Lucy had snuck out of bed to go back to Narnia. Ed being the little git he was followed her and me the white Witch..."  i told him of bumping into Lucy and cricket when Ed smashed the Window then going into Narnia everything that happened before he was born.

"wow you had a very full experience." i laughed and stroked his head

"i did didn't, but there was nothing without a trial" i countered

Aunt Lucy said that Papa fought a lot when you left Narnia" he stated as we sat in the common room

"yes he did, when we left Narnia both me and him took it the hardest your Aunt and Uncles manage to settle back in, granted that in their hearts and minds they were in their 20s but they didn't leave a child. i was quite more reserved and would retreat to painting my memories of you and Narnia where as your father well when neither of us was there for the other the slightest thing would set him off someone looking at him the wrong way.

even before we arrived in Narnia just a few hours ago he was short out of a fight but for that he had a reason he was protecting me" i justified

"now i have a question for you. you have to start schooling soon so would you rather go to school with your father and Uncle Ed or do you want to stay here with me?" i asked he thought about it i could see him, just like Peter does when he doesn't realise it.

"would it be alright if i went to school with Papa" i smiled gently at him

"of course sweetie. i tell you what I'll go speak to grandpa and you find stuff to write a letter okay?" he nodded and i left to go to Grandpa's study once i reached it i knocked and was invited in.

"hello my dear" i looked up from his work.

"hello grandpa, Christopher has made a design to go to school with Peter and Edmund" i informed him as i sat down.

"has he now and how do you feel." he asked

"i know what you're thinking but i think is a good idea hopefully he learned the trait of conversing with children his age from his father if he doesn't then it doesn't" i shrugged

" i want him to have a life or at least try" i sigh

"very well i shall get onto it immediately" i smiled

"thank you Grandpa" i kiss his cheek before leaving. Christopher had found to writing utensils 

"who first your father and Ed or Aunts ?" i sit at the table getting ready.

"father" he chirped

"okay lets begin...

*Peter*

"i had just come back from class i had just come back from the end of the day when i dropped to my bed. this was exhausting and the fact this i missed Emma and Christopher didn't help.

"Peter look it's a letter from Emma" Edmund came in, i looked up and took the letter from him.

"already" i rip open the enveloped as Ed sits next to me

Peter and Edmund.

to us it has only been a few hours since you left and like Narnia a lot has happened mainly me informing Christopher off our world as well as telling him stories of our life before he was born. he tells me that his favourite one was of when me and Lucy had sent you into the sea and you came back drenched.

there is a second reason why I'm writing to you this early it has been decided by Christopher that he would like to attend school and to where the two of you are at Hendon House. it was his choice and i'm glad he did you do need to spend time that is not planning for a battle. Grandpa says that he will looking into it but by the grace of Aslan i am quite sort it will happen.

this is a short letter but it has only been to us a few hours since you left. oh and Edmund please try to make sure your brother stays out of as many fights as possible because when Christopher arrives i would want him picking up on anything that he shouldn't.

with all our love

Emma and Christopher xxx

*Emma*

a short while after the letter had been sent i was back at the tube station with Christopher in his new uniform.

"now you remember right?" i questioned i may be 15 but i am  30 in my mind

"yes mama i should address Papa as Peter when we are around other that don't know of Narnia and the others on first name" i grinned.

"that my boy. now your father has been given permission to collect you from the station and take you to Hendon house there he will tell you everything else" i told my boys.

"okay" the tube arrived

"be good" i kissed his head and hugged him.

"bye mama" he stepped on the tube i waved him goodbye and watched as the door closed and he left.
