***I know, I know .....it took awhile for this chapter to come out.....but yesterday was Mother's Day (as you will see I have incorporated this commercial holiday into the story), and I had to take my Mother Dear out for dinner....so it took a bit of time...I would really appreciate some suggestions...and.....erm....*constructive criticism*, OK who am I kidding? I hate criticism, but I LOVE reviews so be sure to tell me what you think...***

DISCLAIMER: I own nor hide nor tail of any of the characters. However the cheap wine was supplied by none other than the all magnificent *moi*......so all bow down before me...Ok whatever just read the goddamn story

"Aragorn!" called Legolas anxiously as he tread softly, yet very respectfully through the forest. He had been looking for hours, OK only 15 minutes but every minute that went by, assured him more and more that Aragorn was dead somewhere and being eaten by some savage like Gimli.

"Arag-AHHHHHH!" Legolas screamed as something came hurtling towards him. He took a step back and looked down at the thing that was hugging his midriff. It was an awful dirty thing, and it had a distinct stench about it, it was almost as if it were.....

"ARAGORN!" cried Legolas joyously, jumping up and down with excitement. Aragorn looked up at Legolas with a dirty tear streaked face and began blubber.

"ImsorryInevermeanttoleavepleaseneverfightwithmeagain."

"What?" Legolas asked, puzzled through and through by this rapid streak of words.

"I said, I'm sorry, and I never meant to leave. Let's never fight again." Aragorn wailed. Legolas nodded happily, but then pushed back reluctantly.

"I'm willing to forgive and forget mela, but there is one important thing I need to ask you." Legolas said, his face now growing sombre. Aragorn nodded eagerly and gestured that he was listening.

"I need to know whether or not you would really leave our baby. I hate to say this but-um....if you really would leave, I think it's better if you were never there from the start. Why should our child have to lose something?" Legolas asked, fighting away tears. Aragorn started to protest, but then nodded his head in resignation.

"I know, I'm sorry. I never meant to say that, and I would never ever leave you and our baby. I love you both too much." Aragorn said. Legolas nodded back, and grabbed Aragorn into a tight embrace.

"I missed you estal." Legolas murmured into the nape of Aragorn's neck. Aragorn whispered his agreement, and all of a sudden seized Legolas face, and kissed him on both cheeks.

"HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY MELETH!" he cried merrily, his happy grin fading noticeably at Legolas' withering stare.

"What is this 'mother's day'?" the elf asked in confusion, then his expression chilled considerably.

"Aragorn, "he began, Aragorn froze and turned to Legolas meekly, "You've been drinking that cheap wine again haven't you?" Legolas accused, pointing his finger at Aragorn in suspicion. Aragorn started to deny it, but figured there was no point in lying. "Yes." He answered weakly. Legolas scowled, and lifted his chin.

"Do you know what that can do to the baby?" he asked icily. Aragorn bowed his head in shame, and nodded sheepishly. Legolas sighed and took Aragorn back into his arms.

"Good, then I trust you not to do it again." Aragorn lifted his head in surprise.

"You mean you're not mad at me?" he asked dazedly. Legolas smiled softly at his lover and shook his head.

"No I'm not mad at you, but I am mad at myself for letting you run off. I'm sorry Aragorn."

"I'm sorry too."

"So we're even, let's go back to camp." Legolas started to run back and stopped when he felt Aragorn's hand on his thigh.

"Ummm....before we go......could you make me something to eat?"

***Well we're back on track......this fanfic, unlike my last will continue after the baby is born and the three of them will go back to Rivendale and who knows what will happen from there?***
