Elrond watched as Shae rounded the stone arch that lead into the garden then turned to the others. Galadriel and Celeborn were silent and the three children of Elrond were talking amongst themselves. "Where is Shae?" a voice asked, it was Celebrian, she had entered a moment ago and was walking towards them. "She left with the Lady Elentari" Arwen answered. "Oh, I gather that you never told her who you were?" Celebrian said to Elrond. "I never had the chance" Elrond replied. Shaking her head she said, "I will tell her, she will listen to me." "Nay, Celebrian, I wish to tell her." Elrond interjected, "You may, but she will not listen to you" Celebrian started "But I am her father" Elrond tried, "Nay melamin, Her father by blood perhaps, but Shae is stubborn and will not listen to someone whom she has never met before." Celebrian said setting a hand on his cheek. "I suppose you are right" he ceded, Celebrian smiled, "I shall go and speak with her" as she said this she laid a light kiss on Elronds cheek and walked back out of the gardens.
Sitting once more on the stone bench he looked at his children, who were staring at him, "Well?" he asked, "she is very" Elrohir started, and Elladan finished, "different." Elrond nodded and then turning to Arwen asked, "And what does my youngest think?" Sighing she answered, "I think, I am not your youngest anymore, and that Shae is too different from us, she may be kin to our family by blood, and we accept her, but she may not see it that way, and may not accept the fact that we are her family." The others, realizing this for the first time bent their heads in grave thought. 'What if she does not accept me as her father? What if...when she finds out, she hates me for not being there for her? What if...?' Elronds thoughts raced around his mind, but the fact of the matter was,
'What if, this new family member did not wish to be part of their family at all?'

I know I know it's a very short chapter, but I had this brilliant idea to reformat everything and...you...just, don't want to know. Anyway, I hope you like this one.
If you noticed Shae takes a great deal after Celeborn and Celebrian she only gets her eyes, demeanor, and attitude from Elrond.
Again I'm very sorry for taking so long in updating.
*waves to her patient-impatient friend* This ones for you Jo!
Much luv! Ele.
