"Aragorn?" Legolas asked drowsily, as he lay in his husband's arms. It had been one ravishing night, and both of them were exhausted.

"Mm?"

"What's your idea for Sam and Frodo's gift?" Legolas asked quickly. Aragorn groaned and turned away from Legolas.

"Shtump ghryin thoashk mechat." Aragorn grumbled into his pillow.

"What?" Legolas asked in puzzlement.

"Stop springing it on me, I'm NOT going to tell you. It's a surprise. You know those things that are surprising." Aragorn said, now cranky that he had lost the nice warm sleepy feeling he had had only moments before.

"I just want to know so we won't be embarrassed.......why won't you tell me?" Legolas pouted most adorably. Aragorn averted his eyes from Legolas protruding lower lip to keep from melting.

"Don't worry about it.....when the time comes you'll know........hey, Legolas?" Aragorn asked quickly to change the subject.

"Yeah." The blonde elf answered, still sulking.

"Whatever happened to the ring?" Aragorn asked curiously. Legolas sighed and began to examine his nails.

"Darling you are SO behind on things. We found that a loooooooooong time ago." Legolas said, now picking at what suspiciously looked like the beginnings of a hangnail.

"But when?" Aragorn persisted.

"Um....I think it was right about when you had just gone through labour......and then you were asleep." Legolas said nonchalantly, now assured that it was NOT a hangnail.

"WHAT?! What happened?"

"Oh it turns out that Gimli ate it by mistake, and Elrond found it.......don't ask...." Legolas said, rolling his eyes when Aragorn opened his mouth to ask exactly *what* Elrond had been doing, "You know Elrond. Anyway it turned out that the ring had given up inside of Gimli, and we didn't have to destroy it after all."

"But what about Sauron, wasn't his life force bound to the ring. He must have felt what it was like inside of Gimli."

"Yeah," giggled Legolas, "all I can say is that he's going to be having nightmares for a while." All of a sudden there was a cry from the other room, and Legolas wearily got out of bed to go comfort his son, leaving Aragorn in bed to reflect on what he had heard.

Sam lay quietly on his side of the bed, feigning sleep while Frodo snored noisily beside him. He thought about the upcoming wedding, and the familiar nervousness overtook him again. Suddenly, he knew what he had to do.

"Frodo." He whispered, and shook his fellow hobbit, who continued to snore.

"FRODO!" Sam hissed louder, and gave him a sharp poke in the ribs.

"Wha- I'm awake....what is it?" Frodo asked sleepily.

"Let's elope."

****Oooooohh....well sorry it took so long....but I was sick for a while....and I would just like to take this time to acknowledge that the new Harry Potter book is so wicked....and congrats to J.K Rowling for making such an obscene amount of money off it.......well don't forget to review and I'll update soon!****
