1 A/N: OK, so this chapter is either going to be really long or really short! It's more likely to be the latter, though. Read, enjoy, review! (And in that order!)

2 Chapter 56

"I'm not sure." Said Michelle. "I don't like leaving Robyn."

"Look, it's just one night." Said Legolas. "You need a break." Legolas was trying to convince Michelle to go out for the evening, but it was proving very difficult. 'Well, at least it shows she cares for Robyn.' He thought. 'But that doesn't help me.'

"I don't know."

"Please?"

"Oh, go on then. I suppose I do need to relax a bit. Robyn has been a bit too much for me to cope with these last couple of days. I could use an evening off. Provided it is only ONE evening. I couldn't leave her for longer than that, regardless who the baby-sitter is!"

"It will be just one evening." He said, reassuringly. "A lovely meal at a fabulous restaurant. Aragorn recommended it. He said it's Arwen's favourite, which probably means it will cost the earth, but that doesn't matter."

"Can we afford the earth?" she said, worriedly.

"Anything for you." He said. 'Don't get her started on money again. PLEASE!'

"Well, all right then. I'm just going to pop around to the shop. I'll only be about ten minutes. Shall I-"

"Robyn will be fine here with me." he said, cutting her off. "Now stop stressing over nothing. I'll see you in a bit." He gave her a kiss and shooed her out of the door.

"Honestly." He sighed aloud, once she had finally gone. "You'd think she didn't trust me." He picked up Robyn. "Your mother is a fusspot. But, she's a fusspot with a heart of gold. Possibly not PURE gold, her mood swings are quite lethal, but gold it is. OK, I'm talking to a baby. That girl will drive me mad!"



"And he's taking me out to dinner!" giggled Michelle excitedly to Tracey. "He said it was Arwen's favourite restaurant, so it must be quite good!"

"Aww, he's so romantic!" said Tracey. "I wish I had a man that would do that for me. Well, I wish I had a man, full stop, but a romantic one would be nice."

"Yeah, so I was, sort of, wondering if you could baby-sit for me tonight." She saw the look on Tracey's face. "PLEEEAAASSSSEEEE! I'll love you forever!"

"You should love me anyway!"

"I'll love you, even more, forever! And you can invite Kathrine or someone around, so as you're not bored! As long as you don't trash the house, I don't mind who you invite! Please?"

"OK then. As long as she's good." She sighed. She never could stand up to Michelle, especially when Robyn was involved. 'I really need to be more strong-willed! And I need to stop loving that kid so much!' Michelle hugged Tracey tightly.

"Thank you so much! And she will! She'll be wonderful! I'll speak to you later about when to come around! Thank you again!" Michelle walked off, back home.

Legolas heard Michelle walk through the door.

"Shit!" he said. He stuffed the box to the back of the wardrobe and ran down the stairs. "Hi!" he said, quickly. "You were gone quite a while. I was beginning to worry."

"Oh, sorry. I bumped into Tracey. You know what she's like once she gets chatting! Never shuts up! Silly mare" She walked into the kitchen and put the shopping bag on the table. "What time are we going out?" she called to him.

"8 o'clock. Why?"

"Oh, it's just I need to tell Tracey what time to get here? And I need to get ready, obviously."

"Tracey. Oh, I was actually thinking about Pippin." She turned and looked at him, to see if he was joking. 'He is joking… right?'

"Pippin?" she said. "You actually think I am going to leave my daughter in his care? Are you completely stupid?"

"What's wrong with Pippin?"

"He wouldn't know responsibility if it leapt up and stole his favourite pipe! The guy is an idiot! I wouldn't trust him with my life!"

"But, he's Robyn's godfather!"

"That's not the point!"

"You chose him to be the person to look after her, should we both die. But now you're saying you don't trust him?"

"I do trust him, but just not with a baby! I don't plan on dying just yet. When she's older, and able to look after herself, I'll trust him."

"If that's how you feel then maybe you shouldn't have chosen him to be her godfather! What are you going to do if we drop down dead tomorrow?"

"Um, die, perchance." She said, sarcastically. 'There is absolutely no way I am leaving my daughter in Pippin's care. I won't have a daughter to come home to, let alone a house!'

"You know what I mean!" he snapped. He hated it when she was like this. She was in one of them moods when she was always right. Actually, in this case, she probably was right, but he couldn't give up now. He was too stubborn.

"Don't shout at me!" she cried.

"You're the one who's shouting, not me!"

"I am NOT having Pippin look after Robyn! She won't be safe!"

"Well, I think she will be safe!"

"Well, you're not in charge! You're not even her father!" That was taking it too far. Legolas stormed out of the house. It hit her straight away, what she had said, and she knew it was wrong.

"Legolas! I'm sorry!" she cried, but he wasn't listening.

*****

A/N: That really is taking it TOO far! That is pure evil! We know it's the truth, but there's no need to blatantly shout it at the poor guy! Not a great way to keep your boyfriend, Michelle! Not great, at all!

In case anybody isn't clear on the minor details: they HAVE split! I know I didn't actually write it, but that is the intention. LEGOLAS AND MICHELLE HAVE SPLIT UP! Shock! Horror!!! OK, so I left you on a tiny bit of a cliff- hanger there, but at least it means we have yet to see the end Boromir's niece. But then again, I could just leave it there. Maybe this is the end. Should I leave you in mid air, or should I tell you? Hmm, I'll have to think about that one. In GoT's words:

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
