Born to Love Again, Again, and Again
Part 14
I awoke in the cottage with Legolas sitting beside me, still holding my hand. I looked at him and smiled. He said "You have been in a deep sleep for twelve hours. I was wondering when you would awaken."
I cried tears of joy. "I remember everything," I said. "Where are my children and their families? I need to see them." I grabbed Legolas and held him tight. "My darling husband, you waited for me, you watched over me from afar. You sent Kenyon to help me grow up and to understand the choice that would be put before me. You are my savior, my protector, my everything." I clung to him still sobbing, but with tremendous joy over our reunion.
Kenyon came in. I hugged him tightly. "You are my Seamus and my Kenyon." I said.
"And your are my Granny Cat and my Mademoiselle Marie." he answered. "What should I call you?" he asked.
"For now call me Catriona. I am no longer Marie. I am Catriona Greenleaf, wife of Prince Legolas of Mirkwood."
I spent the remainder of the day with my children. When I inquired about Calion and how he was connected, Vervila explained that he was her grandson, and that he would be joining us soon.
That evening after a big feast in my honor, Legolas and I renewed our vows in the presence of all our family members and before Illuvatar. We missed two important people in our lives, for Gimli and Ainslee had passed on about fifteen years prior to this reunion.
Legolas had gotten a bigger ship and below deck he had prepared living quarters for us that looked like the room in Thandruil's castle where we shared our first real bed. I looked closer and saw it was the same bed. The room was filled with white roses and other exotic flowers. Legolas presented me with a new green silk gown. It was like reliving our first night in Mirkwood all over again. My desire for him had been growing throughout the day. When the time came for us to close the door and block out all the world, then I could become his wife again in a physical sense. Even though I was a nineteen year old virgin, I felt like an experienced lover. Legolas picked me up in his arms and carried me to the bed. He tenderly undressed me, and I undressed him. He stood before me as I sat on the bed. This time I read his mind, and I knew exactly what he wanted. I reached around and pulled his hips toward me. I started kissing, caressing and teasing him with my tongue. He groaned and gently pushed me back onto the bed. He lay beside me and kissed my entire body over and over until I could stand no more. He entered me gently and moved slowly. All the memories of our lovemaking returned to me. I moved in rhythm with him. His body was so intensely hot. We could no longer hold out, so we reached the heights of our passion at the same time. We cuddled together knowing that we had at least 200 years or more ahead of us.
I sent word to my parents that I was safe and with the man that I was born to be with, and apologized for leaving the way that I did. In time they came to understand and forgave me. Calion returned to the island. My parents were never told that he and Kenyon had helped me escape.
The ship was so big that we were able to easily take Royal Secret and Elbereth back to the island with us.
We had never named our island. It had always been referred to as "The Island". I told Legolas that I thought it would be a very fitting thing to call it Gimli Island for his faithful friend. He thought it was a good idea and that has been its name ever since.
We spent many happy years on Gimli Island and traveling the world over on his ship. Eventually I had to leave Legolas again, but with the promise that I would return, and I did over and over again.
