Haldir heard a knock at the door of his temporary room at Helm's Deep and listened silently, listening for the heartbeats from the person outside his door. His fine tuned ears picked up on the heartbeat of Legolas and the newly started heartbeat of the young elf's unborn child. Haldir opened the door, smiling at the younger elf. But Legolas wasn't smiling too.

"What makes saddened such a beautiful face?" Haldir asked, hand coming up to rest on Legolas' face.

"I fear to lose you in this battle, Haldir." Legolas whispered and Haldir immediately opened his arms for Legolas. The younger elf buried himself in Haldir's arms and Haldir began to run his hand over Legolas' head, running over his hair, comforting the young elf.

"You will not lose me, Legolas. I am too stubborn for such a death as one in battle." Haldir said softly into Legolas' ear. Legolas buried himself further into Haldir's arms.

"I'm so happy you were to find me." Legolas whispered into Haldir's shoulder.

"I'm happy to have found you when you needed me. If only I had gotten there sooner." Haldir whispered back, holding the pregnant young elf close in his arms. Legolas was still fragile, Haldir knew that. But the Sindar Elf was just as stubborn as the Galadhrim Elf and wanted to fight in the Battle of Helm's Deep as well, despite all that had happened to him not three months ago.
