Chapter Text
Peter stirred, where am I he wondered? There was a weight on his chest. April! But, the sun was shining and a gentle breeze blew over him. Was he in Aslan's Country? If so, was April dead too?! She stirred.
"Peter!" the relief in her was palatable. She started to sob, "Oh Peter, you were dead, gone from me. How..? Oh, Aslan! It was Aslan! I saw Him! He saved you...but where? Where are we?"
They looked around, purple wildflowers bloomed all about them. Trees towered overhead...The Glade.
Peter groaned and put a hand over his eyes, "The Glade, April. We are back in our world!"
She looked stricken and then lifted up and unbuttoned his shirt so she could look at his chest. There was a scar just below his sternum, but it was healed with just the slightest bruising around it.
"I'm just so grateful you're alive...I don't care where we are!" she said with passion and then kissed the scar and then his lips.
He kissed her back but inside he cringed. He was thankful too, but she had no idea the adjustments that came with coming back from Narnia and this time it would be more complicated because of their marriage and the...
What a fool he was lying here thinking about adjustments, "April, the baby! Are you okay? That brute...he hit you so hard! Are you well?"
She looked puzzled and then panicked, "I...I feel okay, a bit sore maybe...but if Aslan healed you when He brought us back, then it would heal any damage to me and the baby, right?"
She started to cry again, "Peter! What if...?"
He sat up and crushed her to him. "Don't! Don't say it, don't think it! I...I..."
For once, he had no words for her. He started to tremble and couldn't help his own thoughts...What if?
