A/N: Sorry this took so long, I've been really busy these past couple of weeks! H/w, boyfriend, rehearsals! Oh, it's all so stressful! Anyway, it's not like you really care about any of that is it? All you care about is this chapter isn't it? Thought so.

This isn't a very long chapter because I'm not very inspired at the moment. I'm a little pre-occupied recently so I haven't had a chance to sit down and think of things to write. I'm going to try and update a little more frequently now though. So just bear with me.

Oh yeah, and sorry I didn't do any r/n's like I said I would in the last chapter. It was very early in the morning when I posted that and I couldn't be bothered. I'll try and do them this time, if I remember!

Luvs Elfie xXxXx PS. Don't ask about the cookies. It's just there to lighten up the chapter a little, and make it longer, of course.



Chapter 5

Robyn lay on her back, staring at the star-speckled sky. The cold night air stung her face, but she didn't care. Tears glistened as they slowly rolled down her face. It was certain now that Ash was gone. They had gone to his house and his mom hadn't seen him since the day before (he had stayed with Robyn the previous night, this she got very told off for). That was yesterday. No one had seen him for about a day and a half. Robyn had been the last person to see him.

It was only now that she coming to realise exactly how much she loved him. How much pain she would be in if she never saw him again. She felt completely empty without him by her side. What made her feel even worse was that they hadn't ended very well. Fair enough Ash got a little turned on when she was angry, but that didn't mean a thing. She had still walked away, angry at him. If she hadn't, this wouldn't have happened.

She couldn't understand why they had taken him. Of all people to take, they took Ash. It would have been very easy to grab her since she had walked away and was alone, but they hadn't. They had taken Ash. What had he done? He was completely innocent where all this was concerned. He hadn't been in any of their lives when the original problem had occurred.

She closed her eyes and breathed a shaky breath. 'Where have they taken him?' she thought. 'What have they done with him?' She always hated being away from him, but this was unbearable. It was almost certain that Clare and Becky had him.

"You should come back now, Robyn," said voice from above her. "You'll get ill if you stay in the cold too long." She opened her eyes and saw Legolas looking down at her. She wiped her eyes and sat up. He sat down next to her and put an arm round her shoulders.

"Don't worry," he said. "We'll find him. We found your mom last time, didn't we?"

"Only just about though," she replied. "What if something happens to him, Dad? The last thing I did was shout at him. I'd never forgive myself if he died thinking I hated him."

"I doubt very much that he thinks you hate him," said Legolas. "I think he most definitely knows you love him."

"But what if you're wrong?" she asked miserably.

"I thought I'd lost the love of my life when your mom and I split," said Legolas. "I thought it was all over for good. I didn't think I'd see her, or you, or anyone again. I planned on passing over the Sea with my father and family and that would be the end of it. Yet look at me now. We're happily married. There's a baby on the way. I've already got one brilliant stepdaughter. Life couldn't be better."

"That's great, but the point to all this is?" she said. She figured he'd started with a purpose of telling the story but forgotten that purpose somewhere along the line.

"The point I'm trying to make is that, in most cases, everything is all right in the end," he said. "Even your worst fears and nightmares can be the beginning of your wildest dreams. Don't worry to much about it, it'll all sort itself out eventually."

"You think so?" she said.

"I know so," he said. She hugged him tightly.

"Thanks Dad," she whispered.

"It's no problem," he said in return. "Now come back inside before you catch your death of cold and before Michelle goes spare." She grinned and let him help her up.

"It's not that cold," she commented.

"It is to Michelle," said Legolas, "and she's convinced you'll get ill if you're not careful. You have to remember-"

"-there's two of us now, yes I know," she said, monotonously. "I've been told many, many times, along with 'you're eating for two'. I swear to Eru, if I'm offered one more cookie today, I will scream." Legolas laughed.

"Yes, people do seem to have an obsession with cookies and pregnant women in this City, don't they?" he said.

"They don't offer mom as many cookies as they do to me," she said. "Anyone would think they were trying to make me fat. Well, in case they'd all forgotten, in a couple of months time I'm gonna have bump so I'll be fat then anyway. I don't need help."

"Well, that was random," said Michelle's voice as they approached the front door.

"You heard?" said Robyn in a distracted sort of voice.

"How could I not? You were practically shouted it!" said Michelle, as she came into view.

"I'm just a little stressed, is all," said Robyn.

"And that's completely understandable," said Michelle. "Don't worry, honey, we'll find him."
