Written in the Stars
Chapter 33
Two weeks had passed since you, Peter and Tim had moved into your apartment. It was two days away from Christmas and the night of the Christmas party at the Pevensie's. You were getting Tim and yourself ready for the event. You wore a very pretty red dress with snowflakes sewn into it. You dressed Tim in a little red suit and he smiled up at you and giggled as you talked to him. Peter was outside trying to get a cab so so you didn't risk Tim getting sick from the cold. You wrapped Tim in a blanket and put a little hat on his small head, when Peter came into the room. He was dressed in a nice suit with a Christmas tie.
"The cabs outside. Are you ready?" Peter asked coming over to you smiling.
"Yes. Do you want to hold Tim or do you want me too?" you asked him returning the smile. Peter's arms reached out and you handed Tim to him. "Do I look alright?" you asked Peter. You had never met Peter's extended family so you were a little nervous.
Peter just smiled and said,"You look wonderful."
You smiled and gave him a quick kiss. You grabbed Tim's baby bag and you three headed out the door and into a cab. Once in the cab you and Peter talked:
"Do you think your family will like me?" you asked Peter. He looked at you with a confused look and said,
"What are you talking about? You've already met my parents and ...."
"Not them. You're aunts, uncles, grandparents..."
"Oh them. I'm sure they'll love you. I mean look at you what's not to love." He said before he leaned down and kissed you.
You smiled into the kiss and once you two broke apart you said,"I love you, Peter."
"I love you too, Mia." Peter said giving you another light kiss.
Once that kiss broke you looked at Tim and he said, "And I love you, small one." Peter kissed Tim's head and Tim smiled up at Peter.
Soon you were at the Pevensie's house. Peter paid the cab driver and you all got out of the cab. You could tell there was a lot of people inside the house because of all the noise coming from the house. Peter held Tim in one arm as his other hand grabbed yours.
He smiled and said,"Let's go."
You nodded and you two made your way up to the house. Peter knocked on the door and soon Mrs. Pevensie opened the door. Her smile widened as she saw the three of you.
"Come in. Come in. Come see the family." She said as you and Peter stepped into the house. "Oh I'm so glad you two decided to come. Now you can meet the family Mia, and show off my little grandson." Mrs. Pevensie continued.
You smiled at her enthusiasm and said, "I'm excited to meet the rest of the family."
She beamed at you and said that she wanted to introduce you to the family. Peter handed Tim to you when he saw Mr. Pevensie come in with a huge Christmas tree.
"I'm going to help Dad. If you need anything, I'll be right over there." Peter said to you.
You nodded and he gave you a quick kiss and then took off. You looked at Tim and then back at Mrs. Pevensie.
"Come on. Let me introduce you to the family." You nodded as she introduced you to what seemed like millions of people.
After she was done, she left you so she could go make more refreshments. You met up with Susan and talked to her for a while. It seemed that she and that one boy had become really good friends and they were actually dating. You were happy for her and was glad she had gotten over Caspian. But whenever you tried to mention Narnia she totally ignored it and said,
"Narnia isn't real Mia. Remember it was just our imaginations."
You were shocked by her reaction but then you realized you needed to change Tim's diaper so you excused yourself and went into the bathroom. Once you were done. You threw the diaper away and picked Tim back up. He smiled at you and you talked to him as you left the bathroom. Soon you ran into Peter's Grandma Pevensie, that Mrs. Pevensie had failed to introduce you to.
She smiled at you and said,"Excuse me, my dear, but I don't believe we've met."
You smiled and said,"Oh, I'm Peter's wife."
Her smile disapeared and she said,"Oh, so you're the whore that my grandson married."
You looked at her shocked."Excuse me, but I think that's a little uncalled for." you say to her.
"I don't think so. I mean, what girl agrees to marry at 18 if she's not a slut or whore?" she said to you.
"Well, Peter and I both agreed to marry...."
"Exactly, you were probably pregnant when you and Peter got married. I mean, how do we know if this child is really Peter's?" You looked at her completely shocked, hurt and almost in tears.
"Excuse me, ma'am. I have to take Peter's and mine son to the kitchen. Mrs. Pevensie wanted to show off her grandson."
You tell her, walking down the hall. Tim looked with wide eyes at all the people that were there. You didn't want to deal with the crowed so you went into the kitchen where it was completely empty. Tears started to pour out of your eyes. You had never been so insulted. How dare that woman accuse you of such things. Your heart belonged to Peter and only to Peter. It could never and would never stray from him. You looked at Tim who was watching you. You knew he could tell that you were sad so you tried to smile and make him happy. After 15 minutes of just sitting and crying in the kitchen you heard the door open.
"Oh, there you are. I was wondering where you were hiding." you heard Peter say.
You quickly wiped your tears away hoping that there wasn't any evidence on your face you smiled as Peter reached you. He sat down in the chair infront of you and almost immediatly knew that something was wrong.
"Were you crying?" he asked completely concerned.
His hand grasped yours and he made eye contact with you. You didn't want to ruin his Christmas celebration so you just said,
"No. I'm fine."
"You know you're a horrible liar. Please just tell me what happend." Peter said pleadingly. Finally you gave up and told him everything. When you were done you watched Peter's reaction. His face fumed with anger and said,
"How dare she! She doesn't even know you! How dare she say such things about you!" You flinched at his anger and he looked at you. His eyes softened and he said, "I'm so sorry, Mia. I'm sorry you had to go through that. If you want to go home now, we can get a cab and we'll just have our own Christmas celebration."
You looked at him and said, "I don't want to make a big deal about it. Let's just try to have fun."
He smiled softly at you and leaned in and gave you a kiss. Once the kiss broke you two smiled at each other and then you looked down at Tim and noticed that he was asleep. "Let's go home so Tim can sleep more peacefully." Peter said, you knew he wanted Tim to be comfortable but you couldn't help but think that he was just so disgusted with his grandmother that he just wanted to get out of there.
"Alright." you tell him. He smiled and kissed you again.
"I love you, Mia. I know that you would never do anything of those things that Grandma said. Just remember, I love you." he said once you two broke apart.
You smiled and said,"I love you to. More than you could ever know."
He smiled kissed and then he went to tell his mother that you guys were leaving. You wrapped Tim up and soon you and your family were ready to go. Mrs. Pevensie invited you to the dinner they were having on Christmas Eve and the present opening on Christmas day. Peter told you, you two would think about it and soon you were on your way home.
It was Christmas Eve. Peter took Tim to spend the day with his family so you could have some time to yourself. You and Peter and picked out a nice toy for Tim's Christmas present, but now you were trying to find a gift for Peter. You both had decided not to get anything for each other, but you just had to get something for Peter. He was your husband and father of your son after all. You knew you couldn't afford to buy anything for Peter, so you were going through your father's old things. It took you pretty much all day before you found something you were sure Peter could use and would love. Your father's old pocket watch, with the words, "To My One and Only Love" engraved on the back. You smiled at it and quickly put it in a box, wrapped it, and hid it before Peter and Tim got home. You were cooking a great Christmas Eve dinner when Peter walked in the door with Tim in his arms.
"Hey, love. How was your day?" Peter said coming up to you, putting his free arm around you and kissing your cheek.
"It was very quiet. How was your day?" you say before giving Peter a quick kiss.
"Very long. It was kind of lonely without you. Everyone was wondering where you were and I told them that you weren't feeling very well, so I was letting you have a day to yourself." Peter said.
You smiled and asked,"So you had a good time?"
Peter shrugged his shoulders and said, "It was alright. As I said I was pretty lonely and I think Tim missed his mother."
You smiled and looked at your son in Peter's arms. He looked like he was falling a sleep, so Peter took him to his bedroom. A minute later Peter was back at your side with both arms around you. He had his face in your neck and was kissing you softly.
"I love you." he whispered in your ear. You smiled and leaned back into him.
"I love you too, Peter." you say.
A second later the food was finished, so Peter set the table and you two enjoyed a quiet dinner talking about, Tim, Narnia and anything else that could come to mind. After you two were done washing and drying dishes, you and Peter snuggled on your guys' bed. You two were in a heated kissing session when you heard Tim start to cry. Peter was on top of you and you two stopped.
"I should go take care of him." you say to your husband. Peter looked a bit disappointment but nodded and said,
"I'll come with you. We can continue when Tim goes back to sleep."
You smiled, nodded and got up. Peter followed you into Tim's bedroom and you two talked while you changed Tim's diaper and fed him. After you were done burping Tim, you sat down in the rocking chair, that Peter made for you, and tried to get him to sleep. Peter smiled as he watched you and soon he walked over to you and kneeled down so he was at your level. You smiled at him and you two gave each other a quick kiss. Then Peter looked down at Tim, with a smile and to your surprise, Peter started to sing a Narnian Lullaby. When the song ended Tim was asleep. You set Tim in his crib and you and Peter watched him sleep for a few minutes before turning to back to your guys' bedroom.
"I've never heard you sing before, it was nice." you say as you climbed into bed. Peter smiled and said,
"I wanted Tim to fall asleep, and I figured I could help with that." You smiled and you two continued to kiss.
"The cabs outside. Are you ready?" Peter asked coming over to you smiling.
"Yes. Do you want to hold Tim or do you want me too?" you asked him returning the smile. Peter's arms reached out and you handed Tim to him. "Do I look alright?" you asked Peter. You had never met Peter's extended family so you were a little nervous.
