Celebrian stood up and smiled, lifting Arwen up with her.
Elladan and Elrohir peeked out from behind their mother, as Galadriel and Celeborn walked into the room They were nervous, having not seen their grandparents since they were Arwen's age.
Galadriel airily crossed the room and embraced her daughter. Arwen shyly touched the side of Galadriel's robe. Galadriel looked long at Arwen, then back to her daughter. Their eyes met, and there was an unspoken line of communication between them. Galadriel reached out and gently took Arwen from Celebrian. Arwen looked somberly at her mother.
Celeborn embraced Celebrian and turned his attention to the twins. Elladan and Elrohir stood face-to-face with Celeborn. They exchanged greetings.
"It has been some time, boys."
Elrohir smiled. "Indeed.
Elladan motioned to Arwen. "Our little sister."
Celeborn nodded happily. "Yes."
Galadriel smoothed out Arwen's hair. Celeborn looked down at her, beaming. Galadriel shifted Arwen's weight so that Celeborn could hold her.
Celeborn gently tickled her stomach. Arwen chuckled softly.
"Undomiel," he whispered. Evenstar.
Celebrian looked at her father. Celeborn smiled at her.
Arwen held her hands out to her mother, begging her to pick her up. Celebrian reached out, gently taking her from Celeborn. Arwen yawned, but did not take her eyes off Celeborn and Galadriel. Celebrian gently rocked her, singing softly. Arwen slowly drifted off to sleep.
"Undomiel," Celebrian whispered. "My Evenstar."
