(Colan's POV)
When Emma and Damon came back, we told them what we had found out. Benny had allowed us to stay there the previous night and we had discussed our options. We came up with bringing the baby up ourselves, giving it to Billee and Legolas or putting it up for adoption. In the end we had agreed to talk to my brother about it. When Emma and Damon heard our plan, they agreed with it too. Emma shocked me by telling me that Billee had always wanted children, but since he had been completely in love with Legolas since High School, he never figured that it would happen. That was all the encouragement we needed. After thanking Benny and saying goodbye to the children we rode off towards Rivendell.
Legolas and Billee were in the pool when we got home, but they got out when they saw how serious we looked. Quietly we told them what we had found out. They were as shocked as we had been.
"What are you going to do now?" Billee asked, sounding worried. "If Wendy can't have an abortion…"
"Well we have been talking about it" Wendy gripped my hand tightly. "And we were wondering…if I was to have the baby, would you two adopt it?"
"I…" For a moment, Billee was speechless as he looked at Legolas. Then they both smiled and I knew what their reply would be.
"Of course" Legolas sounded delighted. "We would love to. It would be a dream come true for us. Our own child."
"We will do it," my brother told us. "On one condition. When he or she gets old enough to realise that we aren't its natural parents, we will tell them that they are adopted. However, I think it will be confusing for them to know that you two are its real parents. You will be a special aunt and uncle to the child, but it will never know the truth. Will you still give the baby to us, knowing that we feel this way?"
"Yes" I said softly, as Wendy nodded too. "The child is yours. Thank you."
Billee hugged me then and Legolas hugged Wendy. My girlfriend looked at me and smiled, although somewhat sadly.

As my birthday drew near, I got more and more excited. Billee, Legolas, Wendy and Colan were coming and mother said that they had two special announcements to make. Kivan and Ranger were supposed to be coming too, and I was pleased since I had been a long time since I had seen them. Ria's brothers and sisters were coming too, although no other kids would be there because I had no friends in Silverwood. But even so, I was very happy. I would be eleven and that would make me only one year younger than Ria. It was kind of funny having a girlfriend who was older than me, indeed it was funny having a girlfriend at all. I think Vince suspected something, because he kept going on and on about us holding hands and I think Benny had guessed too. It didn't bother me though and it didn't seem to bother Ria either. After all, I figured, people were going to have to know sometime…

Hey Risty, I'm working on the CATS thing although it'll probably take me a day or two to get the characters and everything clear in my head. I really need to watch the film a couple more times, but I can't do it tonight because I have a massive pile of homework waiting for me. J If you want to write another chapter, feel free to do so and I'll just follow on from wherever you are.
