I don't know how long I was in the lake, but I was surprised when I returned to the hideout. It looks different inside. There is a kitchen along with some other rooms. I see a room for the lost boys with beds, toys, clothes and a bathroom. I look in the kitchen and out the window to see a massive garden with different items grown.
I go to the other room to see a massive bed with Saffron curled on her side and Teddy in his cot, sleeping peacefully next to her. Once again, there is an area for Saffron and Teddy's clothes and even an area for me, similar to what I wear. On the other side is the bathroom, and I see a circular hole. I lift the curtain to see that it is a room for Tinkerbell.
I move to the bed and lay on it. It is soft and comfortable. I look at Saffron when she stirs slightly just to turn in my direction, snuggling close to my side, her head over my chest. It wasn't long before I found myself falling asleep.

~~~Saffron's POV~~~
~~~The Next Morning~~~
I didn't wake up until the next morning. I must have been more tired than I originally thought. Being in new surroundings, I couldn't comfortably sleep around the Darlings. I don't have the same problem while in Neverland, but that might be because I can feel the gentle aura that covers all of Neverland, like a mother embracing her child.
I gently sit up, trying not to disturb Peter. He is, at the moment, still asleep. I look at his body closely. I think it has finally stopped changing while we were all sleeping. I wonder why his body was changing in the first place. My stomach lets out a quiet grumble. I'm hungry, and I do not doubt that Peter will be when he finally wakes up, not to mention Teddy needs feeding.
I go into the walk-in wardrobe and pick some clothes similar to what Peter wears. I use my magic to burn the nightie I was wearing; I have other nightwear I can use from my original period.

I take Teddy and his cot into the kitchen, placing it near the window on the left wall in front of the Pantry. I take Teddy out of his cot when he begins to fuss. I feed him before he falls back to sleep. He should be more energetic in a couple more months.
I make some breakfast for Peter, Tink, and me. Hmm, an egg omelette, I think. I don't think either Peter or Tink has had an omelette before. I set to work, not realising that Peter had woken up and was leaning against the wall, watching as I moved around in the kitchen.
~~~Peter's POV~~~
I woke up to see Saffron wasn't lying next to me. Was it just a dream? Did I imagine that she was here? Looking around, Saffron's changes were still there, so she must be here. It wasn't a dream.
I hear noise from the new kitchen. Saffron must be there, making breakfast. I wonder what she is going to make. I leave our room and lean against the wall, watching Saffron move about. I can't help noticing that she is wearing clothes similar to mine, but it covers her chest, not leaving it in view as I do. I don't want anyone seeing her chest area. Only Teddy and I are allowed; no one else is. She chose to stay with me here, in Neverland, so that makes me her husband, right?
~~~Saffron's POV~~~
Once breakfast was cooked, I turned to see Peter standing against the wall, watching me. "Peter! Is something the matter?" Peter shakes his head, an emotion in his eyes that I can't put a name to. "Breakfast is ready," I say as I place our plates on the table. Tink flies in and sits in front of her plate. Peter sits on his throne, and I place myself next to him, Teddy in his cot next to me.
It was quiet through breakfast, only the sounds of our forks and knives clanging on our plates. After breakfast, I wash our plates in the sink before packing them.
"Peter, would you mind taking me to the different areas around Neverland? I want to do a map so I don't get lost."
"Of course, let's go!" Peter shouts out cheerfully.
I strapped Teddy to my chest just as Peter placed his arm around my waist and flew us out of the hideout, showing me all the sights around Neverland.
~~~Eight Hours Later~~~
Peter had taken me around Neverland before returning to the hideout. I still had time before putting on tea, so I began making a map similar to the one Papa, Pa, and Uncle Moony made. I will know where everyone is, especially when Peter brings back some more Lost Boys. I sit at the table and get to work, making the map the same way I remember reading in Papa's journal.
It wasn't long before I had finished. It shows everyone living in Neverland, Peter, Tink, and I. Thankfully, it worked. I didn't think it would, but it did. I hung the map near the pantry door, giving me easy access to see who was wondering about it. I feel Peter standing behind me.
"What is this map?" Peter questions.
"It is a map that shows who is in Neverland and where they are in Neverland. It will help me find the Lost Boys when you bring some more back. Has there been any child that has been lost yet?" I ask softly.
"Yeah, over ten, but I wait seven days before collecting them. If their parents don't claim them, I will pick them up tomorrow." Peter admits.
"All boys?" I query.
"All but one, which is a girl," Peter comments.
"A girl? How did that happen? I thought only boys fall out their prams." I point out softly.
"She hasn't got any parents; she was left in an orphanage. I thought you would like to have a girl. That was a husband does; he provides the wife with children." Peter says proudly.
"Husband? I suppose that is true. Peter, there is a different way of providing me with children. Though I don't think you know what way I am talking about." I say thoughtfully.
"I do! Neverland told me how to!" Peter stated proudly, but I could hear the curiosity in his voice.
Did Neverland tell him? So he does know how to provide me with my children. Is that another reason why his body began to change when we first met? Did Neverland know I would stay while Wendy, John, and Michael returned home?
Peter picks me up, causing me to let out a shriek. He takes me to our bedroom and places me on our bed; his gaze shows hunger, lust, and curiosity.
