Well, you guys, this is it. This is the end. There will be no more after
this chapter. Well, actually there will be an epilogue, but that don't
count. :'( I just wanna thank all of you who have stuck it out with me. I
know that it's taken me a while to finish this up, and I kinda hate to stop
but I need to let this part of my life. If you remember, this was
originally a way for me to get over my ex-boyfriend and now, I've written
two stories, gone out with a sophomore, and been dumped by him too! I'm so
glad that I could write this and let ya'll know about the crazy shit that I
come up with in my head. And also, Panda, dude you are like the only one
who knows exactly what went on this summer. I luv ya like my own lil sis
who is at this current moment annoying, but anyways. Here's the last
Friggin chapter.

Chap. 8: Giving Up the Ghost.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^* "AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!"
"Will you please calm her down?" asked the midwife to the father.
"Med," he whispered stoking her sweating brow, "Please calm down and be reasonable."
"I'll be reasonable as soon as you give birth to a child, Leggy, NOW SHUT UP!" she screamed through clenched teeth.
"Maybe you should leave," suggested the midwife.
"No! He ain't goin anywhere!" Med said grasping the elf's hand tightly.
"Then calm down and let's get this baby out of here." Med clenched her teeth and nodded her head, "Now when I say so, I want you to push this baby out alright?" Med nodded once again and grasped the elf's hand even tighter.
"It'll be fine, Med, You're doing great," soothed the midwife.
"So. uh. how many times have you midwifed a birth?" asked Med gritting her teeth.
"Well, this is actually my first time, but I showed promise to my mentor," replied the midwife washing her hands. Med gritted her teeth and squealed as another contraction hit. Legolas looked at her helplessly. He didn't know anything about birthing. He had no sisters and barely knew his mother. Now, he was to become a dad!
"Leggy?" asked Med.
"Yes, Med!" he answered leaning in closer.
"Please, don't ever have sex with me again," she breathed and squealed again.
"You're fully dialated now, the baby should be here any minute," informed the midwife.
"I realized that," Med said under her breath and squealed again.
"Next time you feel pain I want you to push the baby out, okay?" Med just nodded and gritted her teeth. The contraction hit. Med pushed. "I see the head! Keep pushing!" Med's fingernails were cutting into Legolas' skin. "Just a bit more!" Med felt as if she was going to faint. "Here she is!!" And then there was complete silence.
No noise. The baby didn't make a sound. The mid wife frantically started cleaning it. Med looked. The poor child was blue. It was dead. Med's vision went blurry, she could hear Legolas saying her name but couldn't see him. She heard the Midwife trying to make the baby breathe, but could not see anything. And then she lost consciousness.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----
"Aren't you in a mess now?" asked that old familiar voice.
"I'm dead again aren't I?" asked Med sadly.
"Oh no! You are quiet alive, but you are here to make a decision," answered calmly.
"Well, what? I thought you were done with me last time I died."
"It's not your life that's in danger this time, it's your child's."
"Is she?"
"Yes, quiet. But well, you've been given a second chance. I know I said there wouldn't be one, but there is."
"You mean!"
"Yes, you're friends and family need you! You can go back. Right back to where you cut yourself. And never have been gone. But you will never return to Middle Earth. You will never see Legolas again. You will never see your child grow."
"But either way I'll never see her! What kind of choice is that?"
"You weren't meant to be a mother yet, Med! I know you think you are, but you're not."
"But what.what about Legolas. Will I not get to say goodbye?"
"We will allow you one goodbye."
"And Megolas, will grow up and never know her mother."
"You will be dead to her."
"And everyone else in Middle Earth." He nodded his head.
"You belong back home. In Indiana, where your real family is."
"I'll be right where I left off won't I? Right back into what I tried to get out of."
"You've lived 14 years of life, you weren't meant to live them back home."
"Do you promise I can say goodbye to Legolas?"
"Cross my heart!"
She took a deep breath.
"Okay, I'm going home!"
===================================================================
"Med! Med!" Legolas shouted frantically. The baby started crying.
"Med! She's okay! She's going to be okay! Med?" Legolas let go of her hand and grasped her shoulders. He began to shake her. "Wake up! Med, don't fool with me! You've got a little girl to take care of now! Come on! Wake up!"
Her eyelids fluttered open. She found it very hard to speak. There was a great weakness in her. She felt, as if she was tearing away from this world.
"Legolas?"
"Yes Med," he breathed a sigh of relief.
"You raise her to be the best girl she can be, alright? If she's half as charming as you she'll be alright. I just want you to know that I love you. And I glad to have been able to be here with you. I love Mego too. Make sure she knows that. Please?"
"You're talking crazy. Like you're going to die or something."
"I am Legolas. At least here. I made a bargain, and since I'd rather Megolas live, I must die," tears started streaming down Legolas' face, "Don't cry for me. I love you and I always will. I wasn't supposed to be here. Maybe now things can go back to the way they were." She took a deep ragged breath. The midwife laid her daughter in her arms. Med quietly began singing.
"Hush sweet little one, don't you cry. Can't you see, that I'm by your side? Young one don't fret; watch the sky, even though dark things fly by your eyes. Think of your dreams, think of your dad, think of all the wondrous things, don't be sad. Hush sweet little one, don't you cry. Can't you see, I'm by your side." Med closed her eyes. Megolas began to cry.
The End *^*^*^*^*^*^*^^^^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^**^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^ *^ Stay tuned the epilogue is next.
