Heart of the Healer
Chapter 1--New Arrivals
Boromir winced as another scream erupted from behind the bedroom door. "What is taking so long?" he said.
"Legolas warned you it would take a long time. "Calm yourself, Syri will be fine," Aragorn said.
"It has been twelve hours!" Boromir protested.
"Legolas is with Syri, she could not have better care. He will not let anything happen to her or the baby," Aragorn said.
Syri screamed again. "I swear I will geld that bastard after this is over!! I swear it!!!" she bellowed.
Boromir and Aragorn traded shocked looks. "If I were you, my friend I would stop worrying about Syri and start worrying about myself. She sounded very serious," Aragorn said.
Boromir filled a goblet with wine and drained it. "I will not leave her. I must be here for her and our child," he said.
"It was meant as a jest, advisor," Aragorn said. "It will end soon. It will."
Just then the door opened and Legolas looked out. "Boromir, come inside, she wants you to be at her side," he said.
Boromir swallowed hard, but he went inside and Legolas closed the door. Boromir was worried when he saw how tired and drawn Syri looked. "Is she all right?" he asked.
"Aye, all is well, go to her side. She needs your support," Legolas said.
Syri opened her eyes and smiled wanly up at Boromir as he came up. She reached for him. "Beloved, I am afraid," she whispered.
"Do not be, just concentrate on bring our child into the world. I will be right here. I will not leave you," Boromir said. He took her hand gently. "I love you, my mercenary princess."
Syri relaxed at his touch, only to cry out and tense as another contraction went through her. "Oh gods, Legolas! It hurts!" she gasped.
"It will soon be over. Push Syri, it is coming!" Legolas said.
Syri gripped Boromir's hand more tightly and pushed as hard as she could. She screamed as she did so. "Please!" she gasped.
"Pant, Syri, like a dog. It will help with the pain then push again! You are very close, I swear it," Legolas said.
Four more times Syri pushed. "I can see the baby's head! Once again!" Legolas said.
Syri took a deep breath and pushed with all her strength. She creamed once more in pain as the baby emerged.
Legolas quickly cut the cord and laid the baby down. "Push again, Syri, the second baby is coming!" he said.
Syri tensed again as another wave of pain hit her. "Second baby?! You did not say anything about a second baby! I am going to have your hide when this is over!" she cried.
Ten minutes later the second baby emerged and Legolas cut the cord and quickly cleaned them up. "You have two lovely daughters, Boromir and Syri," he said.
"Twin daughters?" Syri whispered. "Let me see. Are they healthy?"
"Perfectly healthy, here they are," Legolas said. He placed the babies into their mother's arms.
Syri stared raptly at one then the other while Boromir leaned over for a closer look.
"We have two daughters and they are beautiful as their mother," Boromir said. "What shall we call them?"
"I would like to name one Shandi, after my mother. What was your mother's name?" Syri asked.
"Lianna," Boromir said.
Their names are Lianna and Shandi," Syri said firmly.
Legolas smiled and silently left the room so the new parents could be alone for a while.
Aragorn looked up when he came out. "How is she?" he asked.
"Fine, she has twin daughters," Legolas said.
"That is great news. I must remember to purchase some gifts for them," Aragorn said.
The door opened and Boromir looked out. "Legolas, come in here. We want to talk to you," he said grimly.
Legolas looked at Aragorn. "Call for help if I am gone more then ten minutes," he whispered. He went into the room. Boromir followed him in then closed the door gently behind them.
Legolas turned to say something to Boromir only to find himself wrapped in a strong embrace. "Thank you for helping with the birth, healer," Boromir said.
"Ease up on him, Boromir. I do not think blue is his normal skin color," Syri laughed.
Boromir did, giving him a gentle push towards Syri. "Sorry," he said.
Syri studied him. "I wanted to say thank you too. You knew I was going to have twins, did you not?" she asked.
"Well, aye, I did," Legolas said.
"So why did you not tell me?" Syri asked.
"I did not want to ruin the surprise," Legolas said.
"I was a wonderful surprise, thank you, Legolas," Syri said.
"You are welcome," Legolas said. He excused himself and left….
There, I thought the birth of Shandi and Lianna would be a nice way to start…. R/R please!!
