Chapter ten:
"Namarie*." I said.
He smiled back at me.
"That was the first time I said something in Elvish while I was here." I said to Glorfindel who gave me a confused look.
"Don't worry about Legolas, he's in the meeting with Lord Elrond also." Said Glorfindel.
******************************Later that day*********************************
"Evelyn, my love, I have to travel to Lothlorien with Elrohir to tell Lady Galadriel that the Fellowship will be arriving there soon." Said Elladan.
"When do you leave?" I asked.
"Tomorrow morning."
"I suppose I'm supposed to stay here and deal with my demented father." I said.
"Actually 'that demented father' as you called him has settled down and is now on the quest with Estel and the rest of the Fellowship." Said Elladan.
Then there was a knock at the door.
"Evelyn, can I talk to you?" asked Legolas.
I opened the door.
"Evelyn, I'm sorry for what I said and did to you in Mirkwood. I acted in a jealous rage. I had no right." Said Legolas.
"Ada*, I don't know what to say. But why were you jealous of Elladan?" I said.
"Because you're having his baby." He said softly.
"Care to repeat that?" I asked.
"I said, because you're having his baby." Said Legolas loudly.
"Ah ha, now I understand, you want Evelyn and my child as your own." Said Elladan.
"And your father filled me in on what you did to my daughter a couple of months ago, I must say Elladan, your lucky I was still in Mirkwood trying to cope with the fact that Evelyn was having your child and not mine." Said Legolas.
"Did Lord Elrond even tell you what he said to make Elladan wise up?"
"Yes, I was amazed that it actually wizened Elladan up because if he was still making you cry while I was here I might have done more than talk to him, I would have beat him to a bloody pulp." Said Legolas.
"Evelyn, the first Elvish words I heard form you were said today." Said Elladan.
"That's right, the first words I said in Elvish while I was in Rive dell I said today." I said.
"What did you say?" asked Legolas.
"I said 'namarie' earlier and just said 'ada' while I was talking to you." I answered.
"Well, melamin*, I'm heading to bed, I have an early day tomorrow, namarie Legolas." Said Elladan.
"I'll be right there." I said to Elladan.
"I should go and let you rest, namarie Evelyn." Said Legolas.
"Namarie, Legolas." I said.
***********************************The next morning************************
"How long will you be gone?" I asked Elladan as he and Elrohir preparing to leave.
"I could be any where from two weeks to a month, we're not quite sure how long." Said Elladan.
"You will be back before the baby is born though, won't you?"
"Of course, I wouldn't miss it for the world." Said Elladan giving me a kiss.
"Lord Elrond, we have an urgent message from Lady Galadriel." Said Haldir.
"Well, what is it?" asked Elrond.
Rumil handed Elrond a slip of paper.
"Elladan, prepare a horse for Evelyn, you leave immediately. Elrohir go and get a bag ready also." Said Elrond.
"Yes, ada." Said the Twins in unison.
"Lord Elrond, are you sure it's wise that she rides on hoarse back?"
"Legolas we have no other choice than to send her on horse back especially if they are going to take the short cut to Lothlorien." Said Elrond.
"Lord Elrond, we were sent here to guard her while she was on there way there and to show her the quickest way there." Said Orophin.
"Why doesn't that surprise me?" asked Glorfindel rolling his eyes.
"Glorfindel since you seem to show interest in my daughters safety, I'm asking you to go along with the Twins, Haldir Rumil and Orophin to help protect her." Said Legolas.
"Yes, my Lord." Said Glorfindel.
*Namarie - farewell
*Ada - father or dad
*Melamin - my love
