Celebrian held Elladan and Elrohir in her arms as she walked up the stairs
to her parent's room. Elrond walked behind her. She reached the top of the
stairs and turned to him. She was grinning. She pushed the door opened.
Galadriel turned and saw her daughter standing before her. She laughed and hugged Celebrian. Celeborn watched them, smiling. Galadriel squealed with delight as Celebrian put the twins in her arms.
"The bigger one is Elladan, the smaller one is Elrohir."
Galadriel handed them to Celeborn, who was equally delighted. He tickled Elladan, who giggled and kicked. Elrohir wrapped his hand around three of Celeborn's fingers and gentley chewed on them.
Celeborn smiled and looked at Celebrian.
"You used to do that when you were a baby." Tears formed lightly in his eyes.
He handed the boys to Elrond and embraced his daughter.
** Celebrian and Galadriel sat together in Galadriel's room. Galadriel was changing Elrohir's clothes while Celebrian chamged Elladan's. Elrohir squeaked and sputtered. Galadriel chuckled and poked him in the stomach. "Going to be your little baby, this one," she said. Celebrian looked sidelong at her mother. "Hopefully, they both will." Galadriel put her hand on Celebrian's shoulder.
Celebrian and Elrond said their goodbyes and depareted from Lothlorien. Elladan and Elrohir both fell asleep shortly after leaving. Elrond and Celebrian rode side by side, holding each other's hand. They stopped to rest halfway to Rivendell. Elladan and Elrohir crawled around on the blanket Elrond had laid out. Celebrian laid down with them at nightfall when Elrond went to get firewood. When he returned, all three of them were asleep.
