PARENTS (misnomer)

It had been exactly one year since their wedding. It was a grand ceremony with Arwen and Aragorn renewing their own vows. (sole Arwen's idea) (it's been ten years since their wedding) Thranduil was ecstatic over the engagement and planned everything.

Anyway, this lovely story begins with the couple on their one year anniversary. They had decided to visit Doriath.(A meeting was scheduled there anyway) They had gone for a walk on a beautiful September morning to get some fresh air. It was also meant to wake them up they had not been sleeping well, they had a growing sense that something was going to happen, something that would change their lives forever. This walk did more than wake them up, it gave them more than they ever bargained for.

As they walked a side path they heard faint cries. Thinking it was just their imaginations they continued to walk, absent mindedly in the direction of the cries. The cries grew louder until the criers were right in front of them.

Two hobbits, about the age of three, where huddled together in the middle of the trail.

Aer and Legolas wondered as to how two hobbits could have gotten to Doriath without parental supervision. They put aside their question and each picked up a hobbit and walked back.

They set the two hobbits in their bed. Aer watched over them while Legolas attended a meeting of the Elven-Lords.

When he returned they woke the tiny hobbits. The hobbits were scared for a moment, then the tinier one said,' Mommy! Daddy!'. Legolas looked at Aer. She looked extremely shocked.
'The little one thinks we are his parents,' said Aer in a hushed voice.
'Well, what do we tell him?,' said Legolas in the same manner.
'Let's just ask some simple questions,' said Aer. 'Hello sweetie, what is your name?'
The one who said Mommy and Daddy answered first,' I'm Pippin!' he said in a very enthusiastic tone.
'I'm Merry,' said the other one.
'Well, Pippin, Merry, can you tell us how you got here?' asked Legolas.
Merry shook his head no, so did Pippin.
'Oh dear,' said Aer under her breath.
'Are you are mommy and daddy?' asked Merry.
'Ummm, not really dear,' said Aer. 'You two are still tired, why don't you go back to sleep?'
'Okay Mommy!' said Pippin.
'Uh...don't.....never mind,' said Aer.

After the two were asleep Aer and Legolas discussed what to do.
'What are we to do?' asked Aer.
'I do not know,' said Legolas. 'I think we can raise them but the probability stands that their real parents are still alive.'
'Maybe we should consult the others an this manner?' suggested Aer.
'That is a good idea. I will call an assembly,' said Legolas.

With that Legolas went to assemble the lords. Though only a few came out on such short notice.
'What is this all about?' demanded Rumil.
'It concerns Hobbits,' said Aer.
'What do we have to do with Hobbits?' asked Oroplin.
'Aer and I found two hobbits about the age of three this morning on our walk. They no nothing but their names. They think we are their parents. We want to know if any hobbits have been seen in the area other than those two,' said Legolas.
'Recently, no,' said Ellrohir.
'You are mistaken, there were a pair of hobbits found, male and female, but they were dead,' informed Haldir. (obviously not a sequel to Legolas' Mellon)
'Oh my,' said Celebrain.
'How awful,' said Arwen.
'This situation is a sticky one,' said Elladan. 'Do you keep the hobbits or do you risk taking them back to the Shire?'
'Risk? Why is it a risk to take them back?' asked Aragorn.
'Orcs patrol the area between the Shire and Doriath,' said Rumil.
'What to do,' said Aragorn.
'Well there is only one thing that can be done,' said Celeborn.
'Aer and Legolas must take them in as their own,' Galadriel finished for her husband.
'Is this the only solution?' asked Aer.
'I'm afraid so,' said Elrond.
'Congratulations son, you have a family,' said Thranduil.

Everyone congratulated them as they left. They themselves weren't to thrilled at the moment. It's not that they didn't want a family or to take care of the hobbits its just that it was happening way too fast. Aragorn stayed behind. He turned to Legolas and
said,' May you be truly happy! HA! Now you have a child! Or should I say children!' Then he left.

They returned to the hobbits ten minutes later. (the hobbits had no one watching them because its really safe there) Merry and Pippin were awake when they returned.
'Are you our mommy and daddy?' asked Merry again.
'From now on we are,' said Aer with a faint smile on her lips.
'Huh?' said the hobbits.
'Yes, yes we are,' said Legolas.
'Oh okay,' said Pippin.
'Why don't you two go play with Uncle Aragorn,' said Aer. 'He's right next door.'
'Okay,' they said.

After they left Legolas said,' That was cruel,' said Legolas.
'Well he taunted us. It's his own fault,' said Aer.
'I have nothing to do with this, you remember that,' said Legolas.
'I know, I know. Don't worry. Arwen will keep him from doing anything drastic,' said Aer.
'Just think about the way our citizens will react when they see us with children. Aer we've been gone only one week and will be returning in a few days! How will it look!! Their Lord and lady return from Doriath with two children! Hobbit children at that!' said Legolas.
'You are being ridiculous! Our people are understanding and diverse. If they can stand the dwarves than they can stand us raising two hobbits. Do not worry leofa, they will understand,' said Aer. (leofa-beloved)
'You are right, as usual,' said Legolas.
'Liar!!' said Aer, starting up a fight like the ones they had when they were younger.
'Nah-uh!"
'Yah-uh!'
'Nah-uh!'
'Yah-uh!'
'Nah-uh!'
'Nah-uh!'
'Yah-uh!'
'Ha! I bet you!' yelled Aer.
'Damn you!' said Legolas.
'I love you too,' Aer kissed Legolas and went to see Arwen.

After a few minutes Legolas went to see Aragorn. When Aragorn opened the door Legolas quickly slipped in. Aragorn was the first to speak.
'Now you're a father.'
'Yes, but not entirely by choice. How have they been?'
'They've been fine. They've been keeping my terrors busy. What are their names? They wouldn't tell us.'
'The one with the darker hair is Merry and the other is Pippin.'
'Interesting names.'
'Yes, interesting names from an interesting people.'
'I was wondering, why did Aer come over here without you?'
'We had one of our fights.'
'Ah, the nah-uh, yah-uh fight.'
'Yes.'
'Will you two ever grow up?'
'No,' came a female voice.
'What are they talking about Mommy?' asked Pippin.
'Nothing that you should be concerned about,' said Aer who was holding Pippin.
'Where is Arwen?' asked Aragorn.
'She's putting your son and daughter to bed. Then she is turning in,' replied Aer.
'Let me guess that is our queue to leave,' said Legolas.
'You've got it,' said Aer.
'Where's Merry?' asked Legolas.
'He's asleep. You've got to get him,' said another voice.
'I thought you were going to sleep?' said Aer.
'I lied,' said Arwen. 'Besides, what kind of host would I be if I didn't see my guests off?'
'Well we'll be leaving as soon as Legolas gets Merry,' said Aer.

With that Legolas retrieved Merry.

'Goodbye,' said Aer and Legolas.
'See you tomorrow,' said Arwen.

They went home and Aer made dinner, even thought it was almost midnight. Pippin woke Merry and they ate. Thankfully Aer was in the mood to cook. She was cooking for about an hour straight. The hobbits ate so much that they fell fast asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillows.

'I've never seen anyone eat so much,' said Legolas in awe.
'Next time we feed them lembas,' said Aer. 'Now what?'
'Now we go to bed,' said Legolas.

And to bed they went. Well if you consider the floor covered with a few blankets with one to cover yourself and two pillows a bed. Sleep didn't come easily, their minds were on their sons. Ah that word, one they would have to get used to hearing and using.

Legolas' fears lied in being a father. He was too young. It was to early in their marriage for a family. Would he be a good father? Would he be a good king as well?

Aer's fears lied beyond the pairs childhood. Hobbits only live to see their hundreds. She and Legolas would out live them. She feared their deaths and the peace of her they'd take with them. Granted they were only children but a hundred years goes by fast for elves.

These fears ran marathons thru their heads all night. About three hours after they had gone to bed Merry and Pippin woke them. They did it rather rudely too. Merry jumped on Legolas and Pippin jumped on Aer. Aer left them to Legolas so she could cook breakfast. Merry and Pippin were really energetic. They ran here and there and they had a contest to see who could jump the highest.

After the contest Aer called them in for breakfast. She made eggs, waffles, pancakes, toast, bacon, and orange juice. (yes they make their own drinks) The two hobbits were happy to see such a feast. They sat downright away and started to eat.

'I thought you said next time we're giving them lembas?' asked Legolas.
'Breakfast is the most important meal of the day,' said Aer. 'Which we'd better hurry before its all gone.'

They ran to the table and quickly grabbed as much as they could stomach. After breakfast Aer, Pippin, and Merry went to the market. Aer let Merry pick out the vegetables, and Pippin to pick out the fruits. While she got the meat and the bread. When they returned it was lunch and Aer stuck to her word, they ate lembas. Aer and Legolas broke one in half for themselves. Merry and Pippin were another story. Each ate four full pieces. Needless to say the elves were shocked. They couldn't even get two bites out of their halves. Aer was just grateful she went to the market. After lunch Merry and Pippin went to see Uncle Aragorn.

How's that so far Meg?
