Sorry it took so long to update.

5677425 - Just one point: Aragorn is a Dunedan and so on, so he lived ( i'm not sure) about i think 240 years, and during the war of the ring he was 84 years old :)

Aha. I found out that just after the Chapter had been published. And then I read the Silmarillion.

CHAPTER 6. Reunion

I have died everyday

Waiting for you

Darling, don't be afraid,

I have loved you for a

Thousand years

I'll love you for a

Thousand more

And all along I believed

I would find you

Time has brought

Your heart to me

I have loved you for a

Thousand years

I'll love you for a

Thousand more

Years were passing one by one. It's been many years since Calathiel was a child, now she was a young women. She was one hundred and twelve. She remembered the time she realized that her little girl was not little anymore but fully-grown.

"You're quick. How's your walk with Lindir?" Tauriel asked when Calathiel came home.

Tauriel never understood the connection Calathiel and he had. They firstly met when she was twenty-one – just a kid, when Elrond arrived in Valinor, and they have been friends since that time.

"No. No walk, I didn't find him. Probably somewhere with Elrond," her voice sounded sad. "Do you remember when I was little you told me that you and Legolas used to be friends for a while?" Tauriel nodded. "How did you realize that there is something more than friendship between you and him?"

"I think sometimes when you spend so many years with someone, you cannot imagine your life without him. Me… just the moment came and I felt it." She closed her eyes for a second, "why are you asking?"

Calathiel sat beside Tauriel on the sofa.

"Oh, mother…" she said in a low voice, "I have not seen him today and this makes my life so… empty… I do not know what is happening to me."

Tauriel embraced her softly. "You are in love, my girl."

"Am I?"

"Just you wail a little. You will see."

"Is that what you feel? For all of this time?" Calathiel has never met her father and didn't know him. Of course, she knew Tauriel missed him very much but she never knew that feeling. When his was near, she never thought how much she needs him. Only now, when Lindir was away she felt it… like a missing part of her. That made her feel wrong and sick but it was only one day, she was afraid to imagine a one year without him, not to mention a century.

"A bit… but I have you," she stroked Calathiel's hair, "the same blond hair, the same blue eyes."

"He will come back," Calathiel said confidently.

"I know."

She remembered when Lindir came a few days after that.

"Good morning, my lady", he said to Tauriel when they met.

"Oh, Lindir," she said with a small laugh, "how many times should I ask you not to call me that? I am not true princess without my prince. Anyway, you came to see Calathiel?"

"Yes, but I'd wish to talk to you first. About her."

"Sure. She told me you were away. What happened?" she was surprised to saw him nervous and worried.

"Nothing… but…" he made a deep breath, "I love her."

"I do not understand why you say it to me and not her.

"I…"

"Don't worry about me - I will never forbid her to love," she as no one else knew what it is. She liked Lindir and trusted him. He was very calm and reliable and she would be only happy to know that someone like he loves her daughter. "I know she loves you, too. You tell her."

"Is she at home?"

"She is upstairs," she turned around in the direction of stairs, "Calathiel! Come here!"

They heard the sound of the closing door as Calathiel left her chambers. "I will go to see Elrond," Tauriel said and patted him on the shoulder, "don't make her wait."

"Lindir!" Calathiel exclaimed as she saw him but Tauriel was gone by that time.

Since then three years have passed. Calathiel was happy with Lindir, and Tauriel was happy when she was happy. Yet her happiness was not complete.

The day when this story ends was no different from the others days of her life in Valinor. It started like any other day, passed by the usual and didn't seem to end an exceptional way.

Tauriel couldn't know that Legolas arrived in the Undying lands and was looking for her. So the evening didn't predict anything to happen. Calathiel was on a date, which usually meant that she will be back home only in the morning. Tauriel was unbraiding her hair without any hurry humming an old song.

Meanwhile, Legolas finally found their home and the first thing he heard when he came in was her clear voice and familiar melody.

"In windy fields now bright and clear, we see your silver blossom blown!" she was singing the last lines of song of the wood elves.

"O Elbereth Gilthoniel! We still remember, we who dwell," he was climbing up the stairs going towards the sound of her voice until had reached the chambers she was in. Tauriel couldn't see him so he came closer to her from behind "In this far land beneath the trees…"

"Thy starlight on the Western Seas," he said without singing. She sighed loudly from unexpectedness to her the beloved voice right behind her back.

So that was the end for them being apart, they were together again asking their questions between little kisses and tight embraces.

"Why did you left?"

"Your father didn't tell you, did he?"

"He only said you have got a reason. What reason?"

"You will see in the morning."

"Why do we have to wait?"

"She is not at home."

"Who?"

"Your daughter"

"WHO?" Legolas looked at her with wide eyes, he was shocked.

"That was the reason I left. I was expecting a baby"

He fell to his knees before her embracing her waist and feet, burying his face in her chest.

"I am sorry… so-so sorry… forgive… forgive me… if you can… forgive me… forgive…" he was whispering, even a few poignant tears rolled down his face. Tauriel tried to rise him up but didn't succeed only sat beside on a stone flour leaning on him.

"I never blamed you and never will do."

"It does not make my fault less…"

"There is no your fault."

"Where is she?"

"Calathiel is on a date."

"Calathiel… beautiful name," Legolas intonated but then he frowned "a date?"

"What? She is quite a grown-up." He still хмуритьсяbut suddenly something made him laugh.

"What?" Tauriel asked curiously.

"I have just noticed," he removed her hair backwards, "Are you wearing a dress?

"Only for my prince," she smiled standing up with Legolas.

"Sorry, I crumpled it anyway," he said looking at the creases on lightweight fabric of the dress.

"I permit you to rip it apart," Tauriel said with sigh as the embraces became stronger, they were almost hurting each other.

"Isn't it a waste to spoil such a gorgeous thing?"

"I have lots of them," she whispered in his lips.

"Such a waste," in the stillness of the night came the sound of tearing cloth.

I think it's quite stupid to write something like "Daddy is back!" so I didn't.

"I guess it's time," Lindir said stopping on the halfway when Calathiel told him that Legolas is back.

She turned around to him, "time for what?" she asked coming closer to him.

"Calathiel, daughter of Legolas, prince of Mirkwood," he took her hand "will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"

"I…" she answered breathlessly, "I will."

And they lived happily forever after.

The full song

Snow White! Snow White! O Lady clear!

O Queen beyond the Western Seas!

O Light to us that wander there

Amid the world of woven trees!

Gilthoniel! O Elbereth!

Clear are thy eyes and bright is breath,

Snow-white! Snow-white! We sing to thee

In a far land beyond the Sea!

O Stars that in the Sunless Year

With shining hand by thee were sown,

In windy fields now bright and clear

We see your silver blossom blown!

O Elbereth Gilthoniel!

We still remember, we who dwell

In this far land beneath the trees,

Thy starlight on the Western Seas.

Please review! So this is the last chapter but as I've told before I am writing one more story. See you later!)))))))
