Chronicles Of Narnia: True Love

Ch. 3 Time and Lost Memories

I open my eyes. And I realize I’m back in my room. Edmund. He thought that Peter wanted me. As much as I don’t want to trap him I’ve got to tell him about the baby. As I gift to get up. Strong but warm arms wrap around me. Edmund? What had I missed? Last I knew he could barely look at me cause of what he thought was the situation. Now he is holding me so lovingly as if that hadn’t happened. I’m so lost. “You are thinking so loud my lady you might as well speak.” He says sleepily but kindly. “Im just confused my Lord this isn’t how things were before.” I say and he leans over me. “Fear not my love I just realized what we had was a huge misunderstanding. And I’m sorry for that. Doesn’t your left hand feel a bit heavy?” He asks. And now that I think of it, it does feel a bit heavier than my right hand. I lift it up to see this beautiful ring on it. Emerald and Ruby joined together to complete a whole heart. Outlined in tiny diamonds and two tiny Emeralds and two tiny rubys. Matching us completely and beautifully. “Edmund of course I will marry you I just never wanted you to feel that you had to.” “Lucy do you know how long it takes to make a ring like that in Narnia?” “ No to be honest I haven’t studied anything on jewelry or its history.” “It took a bit over a year.” “Over a year? But we barely got together the night we..” “Created our baby. I know. Back then I knew that if it wasn’t you I wasn’t going to marry period. So I had this ring made. Hoping for a miracle so I can give. And love don’t think that just because this is earlier than I planned that you are forcing my hand. Know that I leaped at the chance to give it to you early.” He says and happy tears fall. “Really Edmund?” “Yes. I love you forever and always my lady.” “And I love you always and forever my love.” I say and he leans down to kiss my lips.
A month later

I am about 3 months along and I am in a room with Susan round with her child since she is 3 months farther along. Peter’s wife Taira is in the room as well as Lmphadora, Dora for short. Willis little brother’s new bride. Who had gotten married two weeks ago since he is of age. Dora has become one of my closest female friends since we are close in age. Dora is turning 14 close to Christmas. She is lucky only being two years younger than Trovan her love. I am three years younger than mine. Tumnus' wife Karnallia is in here as well. I have learned that Tumnus is his first name not his last so I struggle to keep treating it like a last name. He has asked me to make it less formal since I’m not a child anymore. So I will keep it informal since we are friends. It’s only formal during political meetings and such since he is one of our top royal advisers. And he serves as a representative for all the faun people. And he has served us well these last 4 years. I think we would have been lost if he hadn’t helped us so much at the beginning. We have tried since the beginning to get him to move into the castle telling him we may be the Monarchy but we never once saw him as someone less or under us. He tells us that is very kind but he is a humble faun and he will continue to resigned out of the castle also known as Cair Paravel. But he had moved into a larger dwelling closer to the castle on the West side. Though none of us are sure how long that will be safe. And we want his boy, his wife and the baby on the way to stay safe.

Susan is doing my hair in soft curls and putting it mostly up but allowing some strands to spill out down my neck. She says it’s like teasing Edmund only I will give into him tonight. Dora is doing my makeup. I don’t wear a lot of makeup only during certain events and when we travel to neighborhood kingdoms. And Karnallia is making last minute adjustments to my cream colored gown. She is making sure my still small bump has no hope of showing though I’m not sure how they all care to explain it when the baby comes earlier than people would expect. My wedding Theme revolves around Edmund and I. Greens and Reds are the main colors. I just hope they find a way to work it that it doesn’t look like Christmas as much as I love that holiday. I just think how our baby is due around Edmund’s 16 birthday in March. It’s interesting how Edmund the youngest boy was born first in the year. Followed by Susan in May. Peter was born in October. And I was born in June. Then when my sister and friends say I am finished I look in the mirror. I gasp. They have made me beautiful. I thank them. Then we head to the entrance of the Cathedral. Dora is my maid of honor so she enters first. Then my sister. Then Karnallia enters third. I watch as Taira enters fourth. When she takes her place across from Peter. The music changes to the wedding match. Just as I am about to enter Aslan appears by my side. And I understand he wishes to walk me down the aisle. I smile in response. I take my right hand off my bouquet and reach and hold his mane.  As he walks with me down the aisle. He tells me that there is a test on the horizon for Edmund and I. He tells me not to fear to trust my heart always. I wonder what he means. Then he gives me to Edmund.
