Hey guys! This chapter covers The Two Towers. The reason that it covers the whole book/movie in one chapter is because the two towers is really not all that meaty. There wasn't much I could do, adding a pregnant elf into the mix. I promise that Return of the King will be longer. I would guess that this story has between two and three chapters left until is over. I wasn't planning on making it that long.

Ten thousand. Against three hundred.
How was Legolas ever to get back to his wife, with the numbers so blatantly against them? He would be breaking his promise. How could he ever leave her alone to raise their child?
At the sound of a great horn, Legolas, along with Gimli and Aragorn rushed down to the keep. A long mass of Lothlórien elf warriors were lined, ready to fight with the people of Rohan against a common enemy.
Behind the great leader, hid a familiar head of messy blonde hair. The small body peeked shyly to the side, revealing a very shy and petite elf-maiden, swollen with deep pregnancy.
Legolas' breath caught in his throat as he dropped to his knees in front of her. "Oh, how I have missed you! The tenderness of your skin, the curled tendrils of your hair, the redness of your lips!"
Luna wrapped her arms tightly around his body, tears welling up in her eyes.
"What are you doing here?" he asked suddenly, "How did you get here? You could have been killed! This is no place for you!" he exclaimed frantically, grabbing her and leading her towards the caves, "I want you to stay down here in the caves. It is much safer. Do not leave."
"Legolas," Luna said, "Father sent me for the sole purpose to help."
"What could you do?" he asked uncharacteristically angrily. "You would be hurt. Our child would be hurt. Or worse. I will not have my wife and my heir die together in one night when I can prevent it. You won't be fighting."
"I don't need to fight!" she pleaded desperately, "Father sent me to do wards."
Legolas paused, and loosened his grip on her arms. Aragorn finally caught up to them and put a hand on his friend's shoulder.
"Legolas, I will line up the men. I will save you a spot. Bring Luna to do the wards. We need any help we can get."
Luna looked pleadingly at Legolas, "I can help. It won't take long!"
That was how Legolas ended up following his wife outside of the fortress as she whispered spells. "Salvio Hexia," she put her hands up towards the area where the barrier was starting to form, "Protego horriblis, Salvio Hexia, Protego Totalum, Hexia, Silencio, Salvio Hexia, Protego Totalum."
Nearly thirty minutes later, she had finished warding, and was satisfied with the way that the barrier had formed. She rubbed her belly in a way that she had gotten used to in the last few months.
"Are you alright, little wife?" Legolas asked with concern as she walked (well, waddled) back into the great fortress.
"Yes. I've only got a few more spells to lay down, and I will be done." She pointed her wand at the nearest man who widened his eyes and stumbled backwards.
"Omni Linguia."
A wave washed over him and all the men behind him and behind them. Soon, the whole army had been touched by the magic.
"Say something in Sindarin," she urged her husband.
"Bravery for all," the elf called loudly.
Everyone cheered and Luna smiled triumphantly. "I cast a language understanding and speaking spell. Everyone should be able to understand what everyone else is saying."
"What did you do, girl, to the outside of the Deep?" the King yelled.
Legolas growled, and glared at the king, "Do not speak to my wife in such a way, Théoden King."
Luna sighed as some of the other elves turned to glare as well. He was not being the levelheaded elf she had grown to love.
"Legolas, he means no harm. He is only worried for the safety of the people. Please relax." She put a finger on his nose and kissed him gently on his chin – the only place she could reach if she stretched as much as she could.
Legolas grumbled and agreed.
"My Lord, I've placed some wards over the outside of the fortress. They will buy you time. You are safe from anything coming in as long as the wards remain."
"Will they fail?" the man questioned.
"Yes. I cannot keep them up the entire night. They should hold for a good two hours before they fall."
"You cannot make them any stronger?" the mortal asked.
Legolas growled, again.
"No, My Lord. I am only one person. By myself, I cannot sustain the wards around the whole area. I am sorry, but this is the best I can do."
She demonstrated by walking outside of the wards and picking up a rock, making sure that they could see her. She hurled it towards the fortress. The King was surprised when a loud crack filled the air and the rock disintegrated into nothingness.
Casting the sonarus charm, she held her wand to her neck, "Now imagine that with orcs."
"And they're stupid enough to try it again and again," muttered Gimli.
The King did not thank her only turned to survey the growing restlessness of the small group of fighters before him.
"Now, go to the caves, with the rest of the women," Legolas quietly urged as he held her hand in his. "I will come back to you. You need only wait and I shall come back."
Luna reluctantly did as she was asked and hid away in the caves.
The first person she met was the Lady of Rohan, a girl with lovely a lovely smile and feminine features.
"When did you arrive?" the girl asked.
"Only just an hour ago. I arrived with the elves. My name is Luna."
"Elves? We've been sent reinforcements? And, it's quite nice to meet you, Luna. My name is Éowyn."
The two sat in an uncomfortable silence for a few minutes.
"I see that you are to have a child."
Luna nodded, "Yes. Only about three months more, now."
Éowyn gaped, "You're only six months?"
Luna shook her head, "It takes twelve months to grow an elf child."
"So the child is to be born in April?"
"Yes. Either Early April or late March; I am unsure."
"And, forgive me for asking, but why did you husband allow you to come here in such a state?"
Luna smiled, "He didn't know until I showed up."
Éowyn looked at her carefully. She suddenly noticed the pendant around her neck and swallowed hollowly. She didn't want to believe it!
"You are Lord Aragorn's wife, then?" she whispered.
Luna smiled widely. Éowyn did not take this well.
"Please do not flaunt it to me!" Éowyn whimpered, leaning against the cave rocks for support.
"Oh no, I am not married to Aragorn. I am the wife of Legolas. He's so wonderful."
Éowyn exhaled in relief.
"Do you hail then, from Mirkwood?"
Luna smiled but shook her head. "I wasn't born here. I was told that my parents were from Rivendell and Lórien."
"I see… Pardon me once again, but I have noticed that you are quite small."
Luna smiled sadly, "Yes. I am quite short. Legolas is quite a bit taller than I am."
The two sat in silence again. Luna wasn't uncomfortable, but Éowyn was starting to feel very uncomfortable with their lack of talking.
"Do you know the maiden that Aragorn loves?" Éowyn was trying to control her tone, but she still spat the last word.
Luna gave her a slanted look, "Of course I do. She's my sister."
"Oh!" Éowyn blushed and looked down at her hands. She suddenly felt very ashamed.
"I am very sorry, Éowyn. I can see that you hold some sort of affections for Aragorn-"
Suddenly the walls began to shake. Everyone cried out in panic.
"They're breaking in!"
Everyone seemed very nervous, and many became frantic as they slowly began to file out of the exits into the mountains. Éowyn and Luna walked together.
Luna caressed her belly as she waddled slowly towards the door.
"How can you be so calm, Luna? We may not last the night!"
Luna smiled, "I have no qualms that everything will work out in the end. Legolas promised me that he would be there for his child. I promised him that his child would know his father. So you see, he has to be alive for that."
Éowyn gave her a skeptical look.
"How can you think a promise will mean anything to the fate of Middle-Earth?"
Luna locked eyes with the human, "Well, I've looked through every one of my charts, and they all say that everything will work itself out."
"Your charts?"
"Yes. I've done everything from astrology to numerology to necromancy to rune casting and geomancy. They all say the exact same thing." Luna smiled even wider. "In fact, Shield Maiden, I believe that salvation is closer than it appears."
He held her tightly in his arms, spooning her petite figure, "Little wife," he whispered in her ear, as she awoke sleepily. The arm that was stretched across her abdomen stroked in fleeting circles as he planted kisses along her neck, "Good morning."
"I like being woken up from a rest this way," she whispered. Then she turned tomato red. "Could you perhaps, roll me over? I find it increasingly difficult to maneuver myself." He did as she asked, and soon the two were facing each other.
He fingered her cheek, taking in her natural glow. "I love you."
Luna kissed his nose, "I love you, more."
"I missed you. So many nights without you have made me ill." He burrowed his fingers into the hair of her scalp and brought her into a deep kiss.

"Legolas," she whispered, "I-I want to touch you."
Legolas frowned.
"You know how I feel about-"
"Please!" she begged, holding his hand tightly.
Legolas sighed. She had been asking him for months. Each time he denied her. There was something in him that did not like the idea of her on her knees before him. The idea of her, however, kneeling before him, horrified him for the sole reason that he did not like to think of her as subservient. Nor did he like to think that she would be servicing him. She was a goddess, a Princess. She should not be on her knees.
"Please," she asked again, "And if you don't like it, we don't ever have to do it again. I promise."
He laughed darkly, "I promise you, that my liking the feeling has no factor into my refusal to do this."
"But I want to, Legolas, only for you. I want to give you-"
"You don't need to give me anything!"
"But you give me so much…"
"As you give me more. You gave me your innocence. You gave me your purity. You are giving me an heir. I will not take your dignity."
"Don't you see? It is mine to give! I do not want dignity! I want you!"
They locked eyes, and finally Legolas caved.
"But if you get tired or you don't like doing it, I want you to stop immediately. Understand?"
Luna smiled with determination, "I promise I will like it."

"Luna that was…"
"Spectacular. Thank you.
"Don't thank me. Never thank me."
She did anyway.
