AN: sry this chapter took so long. Me been busy. I have those damn midterms next week and im NOT looking forward to them! ARGH!

"All right love, "Arwen spoke softly, "open them."

Aragorn's breath hitched as he looked around the new room. It was a nursery for the baby. There was an elvish wooden cradle and a overstuffed chair next to it for whatever parent to sit in when the child awoke in the middle of the night. Bright blue decorated tapestries hung on the walls. In addition, a toy chest was in the corner, waiting to be filled. Under their feet was a thick woven rug with a colorful rocking horse waiting to be ridden.

"Arwen--, " he finally spoke.

"Do you like your surprise?" She asked softly.

Aragorn wrapped his hands around her and held her tightly, "Yes." He stared at their future child's room, "Did you do all of this?"

Arwen nodded, "With a little help from my brothers, Maranwe and Eowyn, yes. Elladan and Elrohir brought my old cradle from Imladris and the tapestries and then, "her voice trailed off as she nodded towards the rocking horse, "they also brought that." she tilted her head to look at her husband, "Do you recognize it? It was yours."

Aragorn nodded slightly, "I do actually. Your father made it and then my mother painted it for me." He walked towards it and knelt beside the wooden horse, "My name was carved somewhere-ah! Here." He trailed his finger over the word 'Estel' engraved in the wood. He felt a rush of childhood memories come flying at him as he stared at the rocking horse. He became aware of Arwen stand behind him and place a hand on his shoulder. The king of Gondor stood and pressed a kiss to his queen's awaiting lips.

"You truly are an amazing woman." He said holding her face gently

"Why do you say that?" Arwen spoke with an amused grin.

"You are pregnant with your first child, you manage to decorate and design a nursery and you make me the happiest man alive all at once." He grinned stroking her cheek, "How do you do it?"

Arwen pressed a quick kiss to his mouth, "I do not know, and I still haven't given birth to your child yet."

Aragorn placed his forehead against her own, "You mean our child, love."

"No." Arwen spoke quickly.

Aragorn pulled back puzzled, "You mean this child isn't ours?" he asked cautiously.

Arwen shook her head, "I mean no as in I haven't given birth to your child yet." She bit her lower lip and winced, "For I believe he on the way." She then cried out as she felt a sharp pain as her water broke.

Aragorn's eyes widened as he felt his stomach drop. He immediately took Arwen's hands and carefully laid her down on their bed in the next room. Pressing a lingering kiss to her lips and said, "Arwen. I am going to go get help. I will be right back."

Arwen nodded and gave him a soft smile, "Don't worry. I will be fine." She took in a deep breath and said, "Our baby is coming."

Aragorn's eyes went soft, "I know Indonya." He then turned and left the room and as soon as he was out the door, bolted to where the council was being held.
