Chapter 10 first birthday. A/N: very short chap
Elrond:
"Naaaa!"
"Mmm Fin, wake up. Twins are up" I mumble and snuggle into my lover. My fingers twist some blond hair.
"But I'm very comfortable. Twins can wait" He tilts my head and kisses me.
"Da…DAAA!"
"No I don't think they can. Come and let's get the birthday boys" We get up and go see our sons. Can't believe it has been a year already. Time sure passes when you have little ones.
"Naaanaa" Screams Elladan who's holding himself up by the railings on his crib. He starts bouncing up and down in excitement. Elrohir looks up at us from his teddy bear. He gives us a big smile showing his new two teeth. I pick him and kiss his cheek making him giggle.
"Good Morning, Sweethearts. Today's your first birthday and two people are going to be here to meet you"
Glorfindel and I dress them in royal princeling clothes and new little boots.
"You look so handsome" Elladan takes my fingers in his hands and pulls himself up. Making sure I have a good grip of him I take a step backwards and he fallows with a slow step forward. We keep going for a few more steps then I slowly let him go. Elladan stands there looking at me.
"Come on. You can do it" I hold my arms out to him. Glorfindel and Ro watch him closely. Dan moves his little foot forward and unsteadily takes his first step to me. Both me and Fin smile widely. "Look Dan your first step. Such a big boy. Now come to Nana."
With a face full of concentration he takes another step then another. With each step his smile gets bigger. I am very proud. Once he reaches me I scoop him into my arms and tickle him. His screaming giggles fill the room. After a quick breakfast we head out into the gardens my mother made. She planted so many beautiful flowers. From all different colour of roses to rare Jade Vines. My favourite thing in this whole garden is the wish pond. Mother used to sit with me under the willow tree and read. She would have loved her grandchildren.
"Dear Elrond, will you be joining us?" Fin calls from the blanket and I give a nod. I lay my head on Glorfindel's lap and watch my twins play. They talk to each in their own baby talk.
"Well what do we have here Matale?" I hear a voice behind us and smile.
"Hmm looks like two birthday boys and their parents, my dear brother" The other twins have arrived. " It is so good to see you Lord Elrond."
The blond twins sit down with us. They still look as identical as the day I met them.
"I am glad you two could make it. I'd like you to meet my twins. Elladan and Elrohir. Or Dan and Ro"
"Oh they are so cute" They say at the same time. My sons crawl over to the older elves and stare at them.
"Hello young princes. I'm Matale and this is my twin brother Makale. We are just like you guys. Only ones in the world."
"We have brought some things for the twins." Makale says and takes things out of his bag. He hands the twins each a bright coloured ball. Ro orange and Dan yellow. Then to me he hand two sliver necklaces. Both with a red stone. "Those are trackers. Tale and I have them to so we know where each other I when we are in trouble"
"Thank you so much"
Elladan holds his hands up to Makale and he picks the baby up.
"I am guessing you are the oldest. You look after you little brother now"
Elladan grabs Makale's hair and plays with it. He looks happy sitting there. After being outside for a while we go the dining hall where elves come to wish the twins a happy birthday and give then a toy. Over all the day was a hit. No downside I can think of. We have many years ahead of us with our bundles of joy.
