A/N: Whew! HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone! Wow, I've taken a looooong time to
update haven't I? Boy. BTW, I am not a doctor, nor do I study bio. I'll try
my best to make things make sense. And you all know, the usual disclaimer
and such. I'm too tired to write it out. I think it's gonna be a little
short, this chap. I'm writing because I thought it was time I did, and for
the people who are waiting, to know that, there is hope. Bear with me
please!
Cheysuli-Ai, I always squeal to see a review from you. You're going to see Aragorn and Legolas' reactions in this chap. But I can't write what they are REALLY going to do yet. BTW if yu love painful birth scenes, check out 'Hold On My Darling', by moi.
Legolas19-Sorry for the wait, I never update ASAP at all.;P
Lynda-Thanks! Always nice to see a friendly review.
Triptych-Yes I'm continuing!
Sly-chan- Ai, poor family. But we all just LOVE to torture them, don't we?:)
Legolas Amin Aniron- How are you?! Yesh, I've read Walking in Air. Very beautiful.
Vuaryn- Well, doesn't slash and mpreg attract EVERYONE'S attention? Me too.:)
Trustingfriendship- Oops! Sorry, but I can't tell you yet.
Bruised lady- Hmm? Happy? I'm still not sure as of yet.[laughs evilly]
Kitai Shinsei- Hehe, sorry, but I can't reveal that yet. You'll just have to wait:)
-In His Eyes-
Elrond's voice rang in his head, over and over again. Legolas felt numb, he couldn't feel his fingers, nor could he feel Aragorn's grip on his hand tighten. He didn't even realize the tears running down his face.
For a long time, Legolas and Aragorn just sat there, crying silently. Soon enough, Eathlir's cries could be heard, and the two parents could not handle their silence any longer. Legolas choked on a sob, and Aragorn cried out loud, and they held each other, shivering, bodies shaking uncontrollably, racked by sobbing.
"Es.Es..Estel." Legolas heaved. He gripped Aragorn's hair, and heaved broken sentences. Aragorn too, had not much ease speaking. "Le..Legolas."
The sight of his beloved foster son and son-in-law deeply saddened him, and he could not help but shed tears of his own. After a while, he wiped away his tears, and picked up Eathlir, whose cries had hushed down. He brought the bundle over to its parents.
Elrond walked slowly towards them.
Legolas and Aragorn had finally started to calm down, the quivering slowly stopping. Aragorn wiped away the tears from Legolas' cheeks with his thumb. "We will be?" he whispered. Legolas looked up at him. He blinked away a few more tears. "Strong."
They finally pulled apart, and Legolas took Eathlir in his shaky arms.
Aragorn looked at his son sadly, and caressed the little one's cheek. He was looking directly at Eathlir, but Eathlir was not. This made him feel like crying again.
"Estel.Legolas.I shall try my best to help Eathlir. But now, all I can do is tell you my theories." Both parents nodded silently.
"Eathlir, is blessed with elven blood. However, since you two are not of the same race, he is not fully elven. He still inherits traits from his Estel."
"But wait! I am not blind, and neither was my father, or mother." Estel interrupted.
"Yes, but be patient, ion-nin. Since he is born form a Man and Elf, he still has physical flaws. And Man, however talented, or brave, are not physically perfect. And Estel. Your parents may not have been blind, but your grandmother was. You may not know her; she had passed on before you were even born. Gilraen used to tell me often. How she missed her mothers' presence, and wished that she had lived longer, to meet you. But alas, she did not survive the winter. Yes Estel, you have a relative who was blind."
Aragorn sat in shock and silence. His mother never talked to him about his grandmother, especially the fact that she was blind.
"So.I'm afraid, Eathlir has inherited this flaw instead. The flaw skipped a few generations perhaps. Onto Eathlir.It is a shame, but blindness has decided to take over Eathlir in the earliest part of his life."
Now Legolas shot up. "Is there anyway you could heal him?! Couldn't you use your healing abilities?!" Legolas cried.
Elrond shook his head gravely.
"I can not heal it with my spirit. It is a flaw, received from birth, by mere bloodlines. It is not caused by evil magic, neither were his eyes damaged. Please, do not fret though, I will do my best to help. I am sure.With time, we shall find out a way.But now, Eathlir needs both of his parents to be there for him. He doesn't need two people who have nothing but tears to offer.
Offer him your presence and love."
Elrond kissed Aragorn, Eathlir and Legolas' foreheads, and left.
Eathlir had fallen asleep. He snuggled closer to Legolas' breast. Tears splashed onto Eathlir's cheeks.
"Mellamin.please, you are going to make me cry too..Remember, what ada said. No more tears.alright?"
He wiped away Legolas' tears.
"We will be?" Aragorn whispered.
Legolas leaned his head on Aragorn's chest.
"Strong."
