Note: Thanks for the reviews. Here is another chapter. Meet Arwen and Haldir so let's begin.

Aragorn slowly uncurled from the couch he was sitting on. He smiled when he saw that Legolas was still asleep, the elf's eyes were unfocussed and glazed over in sleep. Yet Aragorn knew if he made a sound, the elf would snap back into awareness. Aragorn softly tiptoed into the hallway, making sure not to make a sound. He breathed in deeply when he passed his father's room and heaved a sigh when Elrond's voice called out. "Where are you going, Estel?"

The man padded back and into his father's study to sit down at the table. He watched as Elrond added another line to the document he was writing before the half elf looked up and asked. "Is everything alright, Estel?" Aragorn nodded before answering. "Yes, Legolas is asleep and I do not wish to wake him."

Elrond smiled at him and went back to writing but paused in mid air when he heard Aragorn ask. "Atar, do you happen to know how far along I am?" Elrond looked back up before a thoughtful expression crossed his face; he put the quill down and answered. "I really have no idea, Estel. Let us check, shall we."

Elrond rose before extending his hand to Aragorn to help the man up. Aragorn hopped on the bed, which stood in the corner of the room. He waited until Elrond had cleared away all the scrolls before lying down. He could feel Elrond's hand on his arm to calm him, a little habit his father has picked up over the years. Aragorn studied the ceiling while he could feel Elrond gently pressing his stomach. He hissed when Elrond pressed too hard and then he asked. "How is Arwen doing, Atar?"

"One minute, Estel." Elrond answered before he stepped away and allowed the man to get up. "She is fine, she is here if you wish to talk to her. You are nearly two months pregnant, my son. Now I have to ask you to leave, since I have work to do. Erestor will have my hide if I do not get it done." The dark haired healer quickly yet gently pushed Aragorn towards the door and it was not long before the man found himself in front of a closed door.

He shuddered before doing indeed what his father had advised him to do and that was to talk to Arwen. He found her in the garden together with the twins. The evenstar was with child yet she managed to turn gracefully and smiled at him in greeting. He in turn inclined his head and kissed her hand, murmuring slightly. "Hello Arwen, how are you doing?"

"I am well Aragorn, and yourself? I have heard the wonderful news; I suppose congratulations are in order. If you ever need anything, do not be afraid to ask." Arwen's smile was sweet and it made Aragorn blush before the man answered. "Thank you, Arwen." And he embraced her.

Legolas woke with a start. He did not know what had awoken him but had felt a flutter going through the bond he shared with Aragorn. He quickly left the room in search of his husband. He searched everywhere before he found his way into the garden. He could hear Estel's voice in the air and walked towards the sound.

He found Elladan, Elrohir, Arwen and Aragorn talking with each other. He stopped in his tracks when he saw Aragorn smile at Arwen and touch her enlarged stomach for a moment. The evenstar's hand quickly travelled down to his mate's stomach and he could see that Aragorn grinned foolishly; unlike he had ever done with Legolas.

The elf felt envy well up within him and anger. Anger towards Arwen for doing this with Aragorn, which should have been his place, sitting beside Aragorn and rubbing the still flat surface where his child grew. He felt envy because Arwen could know the joy of feeling a child grow within her. He clenched and unclenched his fist until the twins rose and greeted him with a joyful cry.

He greeted them but remained stiff and did not notice Elrohir share an amused look with his brother. When they released him, he watched as Arwen rose but he quickly shook his head, instead going to her. "Please, lady Arwen, do not get up on my account. You are with child and I can easily crouch down."

She smiled at him and answered. "It is great to see you again. I am so happy for you and Aragorn. You two truly deserve to have a child." Legolas forced himself to smile while his thoughts burned. "Yes, of course, a joy I shall not know." Aragorn shot him a glance but the elf ignored him and sat down behind the man.

"So how do you like your upcoming fatherhood?" Arwen's voice was filled with happiness for them, and Aragorn looked back at Legolas, awaiting his answer. "I am excited of course." The elf's answer was short. "How far along are you, Aragorn?" She reached out to touch Aragorn's stomach again and Legolas found a growl nearly escaped him. He managed to make it appear as if he was couching but he received a curious glance from Aragorn before the man turned back to Arwen and answered. "Nearly two months."

This stunned Legolas and he asked. "But when did you find that out?"

"This morning. You were still asleep and I did not wish to wake you. Elrond called me in and I had asked even before I realized it." Aragorn answered truthfully. He had halfway turned to Legolas and was leaning contentedly against the elf. Legolas shifted slightly, a wave of grief washing over him, followed by a wave of anger towards Arwen, for some reason he held her responsible.

"How are you and Rumil doing, Arwen?" Aragorn asked, searching for Legolas' hand. The elf was still tense and Aragorn looked up. "Oh we are fine, as always. Truth be told I will be very glad when I can deliver this child into the world." Arwen patted her own belly before she turned to Legolas and asked. "Did you ever think you were going to be blessed with child?"

The elf shook his head but his answer was short and clipped. "No, I did not."

"Then you must be very happy." She smiled once again and Legolas nearly snapped. "Yes, we are." She once again looked down at her own enlarged stomach and answered with a tender smile upon her face. "I know Rumil loves to feel his child move. He is always very protective. He thinks I am going to give birth when I just walk around. Do you remember when you did the same thing, Aragorn, when I was pregnant with Eldarion?" Aragorn smiled at the memory. The next moment the man felt Legolas press against his back, the elf had laid his head on the man's shoulder and he was trying his best not to scowl at Arwen.

"Legolas, can we have a word perhaps?" The man eventually offered, standing up quickly. His husband blinked at him before nodding and rising as well. "Excuse us please." Aragorn offered as an excuse before grabbing Legolas' hand and firmly pulling the elf with him. It was not long before they were well out of earshot from the elves and Aragorn faced Legolas, asking in a firm voice. "What are you doing?"

"Nothing." The elf replied, crossing his arms over his chest. "Then pray do tell if you are doing nothing, why are you snapping at Arwen and sending her looks like you wish for nothing more then her to combust into flames and be blown away by the wind." Aragorn had to catch his breath and the elf crossly said. "She does not have any right to touch you thus. You are mine and mine alone and only I can touch your stomach. Or give you advice and you are only supposed to look at me like that."

Aragorn appeared stunned for a moment before he howled with laughter. He took a moment to wipe the tears away before clasping Legolas on the shoulder and saying, with a huge grin on his face. "You, meleth, are jealous."

"No, I am not." Legolas protested heated. "Yes, you are. Legolas, this is not becoming of a prince, what must our child think." Aragorn joked.

"Perhaps you should ask Arwen that." The elf snapped. He wanted to walk away but Aragorn's hand on his arm made him stop and turn. "I wanted to show you something." He took Legolas' hand in his own and gently placed it on his stomach where a tiny bump was beginning to form. The man smiled and spoke softly. "You cannot see it yet but it is there. Our child is truly here."

Legolas grinned at the expression on Aragorn's face as he moved in to capture his husband's lips in a kiss. But Haldir's cold voice made him stop. "When I heard the rumours I thought it was not true, but I was wrong I see. I do not know where to begin . The fact that you two are now married, or that you are expecting a child."

The blond haired elf stepped out of the shadow and Legolas could feel himself tensing up. No humour, but only cold arrogance could be read in Haldir's face. Legolas stepped in front of Aragorn to try and protect the man. Last time they had seen Haldir, a fight had erupted between him and Aragorn and the man had gotten hurt. He could see emotions flickering across Haldir's fair face when the elf looked at him.

"I told you once Legolas you would get hurt when you bonded with him and now this. Do you really have no pride left, prince?" His former lover sneered. Legolas could feel Aragorn tense up beside him. "I have a lot to be grateful for and there were some things I could not have with you." Legolas motioned for Aragorn to calm down. "Yes, true perhaps. But why him, Legolas? Explain that to me."

"Because I love him with all my heart, including the child which is growing inside of him. And I know Aragorn returns the same love because he sailed into Valinor to find me. Thus he could easily have been thrown in the halls of Mandos but it did not matter for him. All for me. If that is not love, Haldir, then I really do not know." Legolas felt Aragorn wrap his hand around his own and soon the man spoke. "Do you not have somebody you can call your own?"

Haldir seemed surprised before he answered. "That would be no concern for you, Aragorn." Haldir gave them one last lingering stare before he walked away. After assuring himself Aragorn was alright, Legolas hurried after Haldir, calling out. "Haldir, wait!"

The elf turned to face Legolas with a cold stare. "Yes, Legolas?"

"Do not harm Aragorn. For if you do so, the love we once shared and all bonds of friendship between us will be dead." Legolas stepped closer to the slimmer elf. Haldir looked up at him before a mocking smile crossed his lips and he answered. "Do you think so little off me, that I would hurt your precious human?"

"Your word, Haldir. Swear to me you will not harm him," Legolas hissed, stepping even closer. Haldir grinned before he stepped away and answered with a quick bow. "You have my word, prince. I still think you are a fool, Legolas, but what is the opinion from one who could love you and give you much more happiness then the human. No, I will not harm him, but remember the love we once shared when times get dark."

With those words Haldir walked away leaving Legolas to stare after him with a smile on his face while the elf thought. "I choose the dark, and the light. And Estel has more light then even I can handle but leave him, no. It would rip my heart apart and I cannot let that happen. I love him too much. And so I go back to my own life, and yes even my jealously with Arwen." With those thoughts the elf walked back to his mate and life.

Hope you liked it. runs and hides for all the Haldir fans she has upset now. Please review and we might see Haldir and leave ideas of course.
