Worlds Apart


chapter 6


Solutions








Okay, so here's the problem.

All laid out for me.

1. I am an elf. Kylie is a human from another world.
2. I am an elf prince. Kylie is a human from another world.
3. I am the only son of the king. Kylie is a human from another world.
4. I am going to be a father and my parents don't know yet and they're already in Rivendell. Kylie is a human from another world.
5. I don't know how to break the news to them.
6. I'm in very deep doo dooo... and it still doesn't help with the fact that Kylie is a human from another world.

Sigh...
I don't know what to do.

I crushed up the piece of paper which I had just written on and tossed it out the window.

Oh gawd, what shall I do?

I rocked my chair back and forth, chewing on the tip of my quill.
Bad habit from another world..heh heh.
I used to do that when I was studying, only it didn't get feathers stuck on your lips because it was a pen.

Suddenly, the door to my room burst open and gave me such a shock that I fell off the chair.
I hate to admit but I screamed with my... ahem...high-pitched voice.

"Geez... honey, you're so girlie! You're not going to be a very good role-model if I bare you a son."
Kylie commented as she entered the room.

I couldn't help but grin.
Trust Kylie to be one to joke during a time like this.

"Soo.. how was your day?" I asked her.

She raised an eyebrow.
"Well, to start off, Arwen wanted to take me around but she kept giggling at my accent. And then I had to stop every now and then to throw up which was like, sooo not attractive. And well, a stupid piece of thrash paper landed on my head as I was walking up to see you and turns out to be none other than you who threw it. Go figure."

I knew she was in an awfully bad mood but I just had to laugh.

I quickly suppressed my laughter when I saw her glare at me.

"Sorry, your highness." I said.

"Now really, shouldn't it be the other way around?" she answered with a smile.

I shrugged.

"I was just thinking. You're royalty, right? So how are we supposed to like, you know, I don't exactly know how to put it... " Kylie said, her tone changing to a more serious one.

I nodded.
"I haven't exactly figured it out yet. I do know that my parents will very violently object though."I replied, sadly.

Kylie sighed and rubbed her stomach in a thoughtful way,

"This sucks big time." we both said in unison.

We burst out laughing at this.

Just then, an idea came to my mind.



"Haldir, I need to ask you something. Do you mind?' I stopped Haldir as he was practicing his archery.

He didn't take his eyes off the target and just nodded.

"Am I one of your really, really good friends?" I asked.

"Out with the point." He said as he shot the target right on the bullseye.

He took out another arrow and locked onto the bullseye once again.

"You see, Kylie is pregnant with my child."

At this, Haldir shot his arrow.
It landed just a few inches outside the bullseye.

He stared at me for a while as if I was the biggest problem ever to face him.
He picked up his bow again and prepared another shot.

"I was hoping you could be the father of that child."

As soon as those words came out of my mouth, Haldir's arrow went straight up into the sky.

He turned to me and half stammered, half yelled, " W--HAAAT?"

"Yes, well, I can't marry Kylie. You know that. But I love her. And you're someone whom I trust with my life. So I'd like you to marry her and my child will be yours. I just need someone to protect her and our child when I return to Mirkwood." I told him.

Haldir shook his head in disbelief.

"Why me? Why not someone else?"

"Because I know you'll be the terrific husband and father. "

"No... Legolas, I can't do it. I just can't... I don't have the slightest clue about being a father or a husband"

"Haldir, we've been friends for lifetimes. Please... for my sake. "

"It isn't right. And this child... and Kylie..."

"Please. I beg of you!"
At this I was already going down on my knees.

"Please Haldir. Please... I won't ask anything from you ever again."

"Alright, alright! Just don't ever get down on your knees again. You're making me look bad." he finally agreed.

I got up and hugged him.
He was slightly embarrassed but he patted me on my back anyway.

"Thank you... so much."



"Kylie, may I have a word with you?" Haldir asked as I walked down the side of the riverstream.
The riverstream seemed to make me feel less tense and stop puking for awhile.

Arwen had lent me a light blue gown that was quite tranlusent and it felt weird not wearing a bra.
I squirmed uncomfortably but I nodded my head.

It made me feel alittle bashful when I wasn't exactly properly dressed, especially in front of the opposite gender.

"What's up?" I said.

He looked at me, confused.

Wrong form of speech, I decided.

"What do you need to tell me?" I asked again.

He frowned slightly but continued.
"This is going to be a really important question. So I need you to think about it really carefully, you don't have to give me the answer straight away."

"Oka..mm...yes sir." I answered.
It sounded right to call him 'sir', I mean, he is tons older than I am and well, he's sooo serious.

He grabbed me by my arm and pulled me behind a tree.
It really shocked me.

And then he asked the most outrageous question ever.
"Will you marry me, Kylie?"

What was my answer?

"No."
And in to that addition, I slapped him across his pretty face.

"Might I add that it was Legolas' wish that you do this?" he exclaimed, rubbing his cheek.

Stupid Legolas!
But I was starting to see what he had in mind.

So I nodded.
"Yes, I will marry you if it is indeed Legolas' wish."

Haldir drew in a breath.
"Well then, I shall make the necessary arrangements... do you mind making it small?" he asked.

I raised an eyebrow.
"You have got to be jokng! How many times does a girl get married?!?"

"I don't understand."
Haldir had once again, the confused look on his face.

I sighed and threw up my hands in defeat.
"Whatever. Your choice, alright?"

He nodded.

Reminder for me.

Strangle Legolas.
Put him a microwave.
Pray hard he gets radiation.
Eat him.

Oh yuck!
I've got the weirdest appetite ever since I got pregnant.
