Wheeee! This is my first ever LOTR ficcy of the Aragorn/Legolas kind. Very much AU and totally strange, but hey, it IS alternate universe ^___^

Disclaimer: LOTR and it's characters are not mine and I'm not making any profit writing this. However, all the characters who do not appear in LOTR (except for the Three Fates) and the plot were cooked up by yours truly.

Prologue:

"Is this your decision, Prince of Mirkwood? It is rare for males to try and conceive a child, since your body is not made the same as women. However, this has been tried before and it has worked so far without complications. Also, the fact that you are an elf helps us. Do you want me to go over the procedure again?"

Legolas of Mirkwood shook himself out from the dreamy state he had been indulging himself in and grinned at the elderly witch who was busy preparing the brew, "Nay, Elena, I think I got most if it by now. I just need to mix this wheat seed with this brew here and all will be set."

Elena chuckled and handed him the stopper so he could cover the vial he was holding, and wagged a finger at him. "The wheat seed can only do so much, dear elf, but you must remember that the most important ingredient is your mate's seed."

Blushing from head to toe, Legolas nearly lost his grip on the bottle and glared at the brazen witch, "Elena!! Don't be so vulgar about things like these! This is embarassing me enough."

"I only serve to remind you, of course, for it won't do you good if you forget. I am looking forward to the success of this magick."

"Thank you, respected witch. Look forward to the baptismal invitation, will you?"

The witch laughed merrily and walked him to the door, watching with an almost regretful look as her latest customer skipped down the path back to Rivendell.

"Oh if you only knew what hardships lie before you... But, maybe---," she shook her head and returned back to her hut, almost jumping out of her skin when the shadowed corner reformed itself to a cloaked figure.

"You may watch but you may not interfere, Clotho. Rough the road may be, but I have grand plans for father and daughter when their time comes."

Exhausted yet satiated, two lovers lay interwined on their silken bed, the elf barely containing his excitement.

"What is the matter, dear heart? You've been bouncing around since your trip to the woods this morning. I thought our earlier activities would tire you enough so you could go to restful sleep."

"Aragorn, Aragorn, if you only knew why I am beside myself with glee. You will have the most precious gift of all when your birthday presents have all been opened tomorrow. Then you cannot say that my excitement now has been a bad thing."

The man called Aragorn turned his lover over in his arms and watched as shades of blue and green danced their way across the other's eyes. The idea of the 'most precious gift' coming from his most precious love certainly got the best of his curiosity.

"And what could possibly be the most precious gift of all when it is already in my arms?" he asked.

Legolas smiled up at him impishly and ran a teasing finger down his stomach, giving hints and clues that he knew his lover will never get.

"Oio naa elealla alasse, Aragorn. Lle mela amin?"

"Amin mela lle, ten'oio. No matter what we may face in the future, Legolas, never forget that."

The elf drew his lover down and sealed his lips with his own, drinking in the whispered promise and basking in its glory, while Aragorn rolled over him and loved him once again.
