A/N: Again I would like to thank all of those people who reviewed chapter 6 with encouraging words! Your kind words have given me more belief and they have helped me to fight against this writer's block that has been plaguing me for some time. As much as I would like to provide longer chapters I seem to find it easier to keep up with short ones. Oh, and I already say I'm sorry I didn't bring in Elrond in this chapter either. :(

Aragorn stared long time at Glorfindel's quickly distancing figure and tried hard to determine what was wrong with the blond. Finally he came to a conclusion that Glorfindel had felt the urge to pee. That in Elessar's opinion explained satisfactorily the reason why Glorfindel had rubbed the front of his tunic agony evident on his graceful face. Happy with his clever but undoubtedly slow thinking Estel continued his long lasting journey back to his chambers. He was about to be successful and reach his rooms unnoticed but then his worst twin nightmares appeared

"Estel…we haven't yet congratulated you." Elrohir said smirking

"Greenwood is a powerful ally." Elladan added blinking his eyes all but innocently. Aragorn looked at each of them in turn. First Elrohir, then Elladan. He could tell them apart only because Elrohir's head was slightly tilted to the left and Elladan's to the right. It must have been a consequence of crowdedness during the months they had grown up inside the safety of their mother. Aragorn had always wondered how babies could stand spending nine months in so small space. Even a thought of it made him feel anxious and claustrophobic.

He rubbed his belly soothingly and hoped his baby wouldn't panic like he did and then he sighed looking defeated at his beloved evil brothers. He guided them inside his chambers, shut the door behind them and stated sounding pretty much like a self-confident king he truly wasn't

"Name your price!"

"I see we understand each others!" Came the double response and continuation

"Legolas. We want a night with him as a price of our silence." Aragorn couldn't believe what he was clearly hearing and he kept gaping at the twins his mouth wide open. After infinitely long few seconds Elrohir burst into laughter and said cheerfully to Elladan

"One point for me! He took that claim seriously." He pointed out referring to the horrified expression on Aragorn's face.

"Damn it!" Elladan cursed with a low voice but then he grinned too as he thought the genuine shock they had managed to cause to their dear Human brother looked truly funny

"We still fool you too easily, Estel." Elrohir stated wiping the tears of laughter off his eyes. Aragorn felt the blood flooding to his cheeks and staining them with awkward pink colour he hated so much. If he had had his sword with him he wouldn't have hesitated to grab its handle and slice the twins into pieces but he disliked violence and doubted that even their death would give him peace. With his normal luck Valar would probably return the twins back to Middle-Earth in no time.

"Very funny." He murmured patiently before asking 

"What do you monsters really want?" Elladan and Elrohir took an offending look on their identically mischievous faces in response to hearing him call them monsters but soon they grinned again for they knew he was right. They never failed to live up to their monster reputation.

"We want you to arrange a party. A big one. All elves of Lórien must be invited." Elrohir said

"That's all you want from me?" Aragorn asked nasty suspicion nagging inside his royal head. He smelled big trouble like he could smell a rotten fish. He soon noticed he shouldn't have thought of a stinking fish as it suddenly made his stomach convulse and he immediately felt the need to throw up. He ran to the window, pushed it open and hoped briefly that no one was under it and then he freely gave away all that he had eaten that day

"Conveniences of a pregnancy, dear Estel." Elladan said merrily and handed him a napkin as Estel finally turned around to face them again. Aragorn took the napkin and wiped his mouth clean making at the same time a mental note never think about anything disgusting during his pregnancy. After all he wanted to reduce the times of vomiting to a minimum.

"So, do we have a deal now?"  He tiredly asked and was rewarded by two simultaneous nods

"You know, it will take time to arrange it…" he continued saying but was quickly interrupted

"We know but you have two months. I don't think father will leave until he is certain Arwen's pregnancy proceeds as normal." Elrohir answered seriously and Aragorn almost fainted. His head was dangerously spinning and for a moment he saw two Elladan's and two Elrohir's, twins of the twins. A terrifying thought crossed his mind: "What if me and Arwen both give birth to twins?"

"Two MONTHS!!!?? He will stay in here two months?? I can't hide the truth that long!!" He yelled in frustration and did what he only could do, he wept. "This is becoming a habit." He said sarcastically to himself and made therefore a note to himself not to make it a habit.

"Don't worry, we will help you and keep him out of your way." Elrohir consoled him a tiny little smirk on his lips. The twins briefly embraced him like they had been good and supportive big brothers which they never really were and then they practically flied out of the room.

Eventually alone again the King sighed deeply and opened his gigantic wardrobe. Scanning through all the hundreds of robes he picked up a dark blue one for to wear at the dinner. Arwen had once said it matched nicely to the colour of his eyes and he concluded it would as nicely hide his undeniable process of getting fat.

Sighing again he threw the robe on the bed and undressed himself slowly. At the same time he got his clothes off and wore only his brilliantly yellow underpants the door flew wide open and Arwen and Legolas rushed in             

"Can't you knock and wait before rushing in?" Aragorn murmured a little bit blushing. Soon after he had discovered his pregnancy he had started to feel shy of his body like he was a teenager. "I'm a middle aged pregnant teenager." He thought amused

"I like to take you by surprise and find you naked." Came a double response and Aragorn momentarily was sure he had seen incorrectly and that the twins had returned but as two pairs of hands wrapped around his body and two lips kissed his face he came to second thoughts.

A/N: Ok, I know that chapter has less humour but as I'm a light handed (also light headed I may add, hehe) writer so to speak I prefer not to force anything. So people, like it? Hate it? Suggestions? If you wonder what the twins are doing with their point scoring game that will be explained later…
