A/N I'm so glad you all liked the last chapter and didn't think it was boring. Thank-you to my reviewers: Mencamiel, brghost, Supergurl15, Vic, Manhattan, Maria Jose, Saraclya Tel'Quessir and RAM. From now on I'll probably be changing the whole timeline of the Lord of the Rings book and movie, just to warn you.

Aragorn was taking a walk through the halls of Helm's Deep, he was feeling rather upset and angry.

'Eowyn and Legolas,' he thought in disgust, 'well, at least I still have Arwen.'

*~*

Meanwhile outside the stone walls of Helm's Deep an Elven messenger halted his horse. A Rohirrim guard immediately came up to him.

"What is your business in Helm's Deep, Master Elf? It is not often we see your folk riding around," the guard said.

The Elf nodded his head, "It is an urgent message for Lord Aragorn from the Lady Arwen of Rivendell. I rode here to deliver it."

The guard scanned the Elf with his eyes, "Very well, I will see that this letter gets to him."

"Thank-you," the Elf said and with a quick nod of his head, spurred his horse and rode out of view.

The guard, letter in hand, walked into the castle.

Theoden's face had turned very red, "My good friend, Legolas," he said, "could you tell me why you are hiding under my niece's bed?"

"Well, I-I, er," Legolas stuttered.

"Perhaps you could tell me then?" Theoden said turning to Eowyn.

Eowyn gave a very similair answer to Legolas making Theoden turn even redder.

"Did you just share a bed with my niece?" he hissed at Legolas, "Tell the truth!"

"You see, Iyes," Legolas answered.

"And is this the truth?" Theoden asked Eowyn.

While looking at the floor, Eowyn replied, "Yes, uncle."

"And you did it willingly?" Theoden asked her again with a glare at Legolas.

"Yes, uncle."

The red had vanished from Theoden's face and now it had turned a ghastly shade of white, "If you will excuse me," he muttered, "I need to go to my study and.think."

He left the room quickly and Eowyn and Legolas stared at each other with bewildered looks on their faces.

"What do you think my uncle wants to think about?" Eowyn asked Legolas.

"How to kill me," Legolas immediately responded.

"You're probably right," Eowyn said cracking a grim smile.

*~*

Aragorn stared at the letter in shock, it read:

Dear Aragorn, If only you knew how much it hurts me to tell you this. You have been the love of my life for years now, and I will never stop loving you but I have developed feelings for your friend, Legolas. I will always hold you in my heart but I fear never again shall I be your lover. Sincerely, Arwen of Rivendell

Aragorn checked the seal. It was definitely Arwen's.

'So Arwen loves Legolas,' he thought grimly as he tucked Arwen's letter into his pocket, 'will she'll have a nasty shock when she finds out he's in love with Lady Eowyn. And she's not going to get any of sympathy from me.'

*~*

Theoden drained his cup of wine and signaled his maid for another.

'So Eowyn has shared a bed with the Elf prince,' Theoden thought and then something struck him hard.

He put his head into his head and gave a loud moan as he realized that this meant that Eowyn was.pregnant.

The maid put the goblet of onto his desk but Theoden refused it, "take it back. I need a clear head to think properly. Oh and call me my adviser and both my niece Eowyn and the visiting Elf Prince, Legolas. Quickly!"

"Yes, my king," the maid said before she picked up her skirts and hurried out of Theoden's chambers.

*~*

Aragorn knocked on Theoden's door.

"Querrestalo*, my adviser. Is that you?" Theoden called.

"No, King Theoden. It is Aragorn of the Dunedain."

"I am expecting my adviser, Aragorn. Will this be quick?" Theoden asked.

"Yes," Aragorn answered.

"Come in then!"

Aragorn opened the door and strode to the desk where Theoden was sitting.

"When will we be leaving Helm's Deep, Lord Theoden? I must make haste to Minas Tirith to aid my people," Aragorn said.

"We will be leaving tomorrow," Theoden answered, "we will return to Edoras though the place will, no doubt, be in ruins. From there no solid plans have been made."

"I see," Aragorn said stroking his chin, "I think I shall go to Edoras with your people. From there, I will journey on to Gondor by the Anorien River."

"A dangerous route, my friend," Theoden said looking at Aragorn.

"What other way can I take?" Aragorn asked, "The Gap of Rohan would lead me much to close to Isengard. I can not risk it."

"Your friends, Legolas and Gimli, will go with you I presume?"

"They may do as they like," Aragorn said quietly, "Legolas will want to stay on with you, I am sure."

Theoden looked sharply at Aragorn, "So you know?"

"If you mean about Eowyn and Legolas, yes I do. I have caught them twice," Aragorn replied.

"Twice?" Theoden said interested, "when was this?"

"The first time it was right before the battle. The second time was just last night."

"Was Legolas giving Eowyn his tunic?" Theoden inquired.

Aragorn looked at him oddly, "No, I do not think so."

"I thought so," Theoden said looking pleased with himself, "very well. You may go now."

With a nod, Aragorn left the room not noticing that Arwen's letter had slipped out of his pocket and onto the floor.

*~*

There was a knocking on the door.

"Come in," Theoden called.

The door opened to reveal Querrestalo, Eowyn and Legolas who were looking rather anxious.

"Come in then," Theoden beckoned them all to sit in the three chairs arranged before him, "You," Theoden said pointing to Querrestalo, "get a piece of parchment and a quill."

Then Theoden turned to Eowyn and Legolas, "Did it ever occure to either of you when you did your foolish act that Eowyn would get pregant?"

Legolas drew in a sharp breath and Eowyn looked read to faint.

"Obviously it did not," Theoden answered, "do you know the scandal this will cause? The Rohirrim will not respect the royal family and for that matter, no one else in Middle-earth will!"

"What will we do?" Eowyn whispered.

With great ceremony, Theoden answered, "You must be married!"

And with that, Legolas, Prince of Mirkwood, fainted.
