Chapter Fourteen
They had ended up spending most of the morning in the comfort of Estel's chambers. Talking almost excitedly about what was to come. But unfortunately Estel had other duties he had to attend to and so left Legolas alone in his chambers.
Glancing around the room Legolas sighed before setting himself down at the small writing desk moving a piece of parchment that Estel had lain out for him into a more comfortable position to write on.
Picking up the quill he slowly dipped it into the provided inkwell and placed it gently against the parchment.
Now how to start his letter, he did not want it to sound too formal and yet he did not want it to sound as though he believed it to be a trivial declaration.
Sighing, he started to write, there would be no easy way to break this news to his father and siblings.
'Dear Father
I do not know where to begin for my time here in Imladris has been rather eventful. First I must thank you father for arranging my journey here for without your organisation I doubt that I would have arrived here safely.
The Twins are the same as ever and their company has been most enjoyable but it is the company of their foster brother that I have been most grateful for. We have spent much time together during my stay and to say that we have become close would be some what of an understatement.
I love him father and he returns my love with as much vigour.
You would like him father, he is a fine warrior and has proved himself on many occasions. He is a kind and considerate lover and cares greatly for all those around him.'
He stopped writing for a moment, thinking, how could he tell his father of their child. Maybe he should wait and tell his father after he arrived but quickly realised that they would not arrive until after Arwen's bonding and by then it would more than likely have become public knowledge and his father would be hurt at being the last to know.
'The great love between us has prompted changes within my body that I did not think were possible. Lord Elrond stated that this must be because I have found my soul mate. I do not know how to write this so that it does not come as a shock perhaps there is no way but my body had become fertile three seasons to early with out my knowing.
What I am trying to explain to you is that I have fallen pregnant, I am with child father. Estel and I are both delighted with this news but I am weary of what is to come. I am in much need of you council ada.
Lord Elrond welcomes you if you decide to travel to Imladris in the near future. I hope that this letter does not cause you any unnecessary anxiety or worry, I am well and being cared for by Lord Elrond himself, so I could not wish for superior care.
I hope this letter finds you well.
Regards
Legolas'
Sighing he placed the quill back into its wooden holder and gently folded the parchment and sealed it with a wax stamp.
The door opened softly behind him, turning he smiled as Estel walked into the room carrying a large bundle.
"Come my love." Estel grinned. "It is almost time for midday meal and you are not yet dressed." He made his way across the room to stand beside the blond elf. "Is that the letter to your father?" He asked.
Legolas nodded.
"Yes, I must send it as soon as possible he would feel betrayed if he found out by some other means."
"Of course, it can be sent with a messenger this eve if you wish."
"Yes, thank you."
"Now." Estel pulled Legolas up out of the chair. "Come we must get your ready to eat with my family." The man began to divest his elf of the under tunic he had slept in the previous night.
"And what shall I wear oh lover of mine. I left all my clothing in my own chambers."
"Which is where I have just been and collected most of your belongings from, he pointed to the large package hen had placed on to the bed upon entering the room. "I thought that it would be easier to move your things here rather than moving back and forth between both chambers."
"How very thoughtful of you my love." Legolas smiled as Estel removed his tunic from his shoulders and then moved to slide off his leggings.
"I know." Estel grinned, devouring his lover's body with his eyes. Before turning back to the bed and pulling out a fresh and matching pair of tunic and leggings. They were dark, almost mid night blue.
Legolas gasped as Estels gentle fingers brushed against his thighs as the man pulled the leggings up his body before securing them at the waist.
"You are enjoying this far too much." Legolas muttered as he noticed Estels almost evil grin.
"Can I not enjoy seeing my beautiful elf in all his glory?" He motioned for Legolas to move his arm to allow him to slide the soft material of the tunic on to it.
"Your elf!"
"Of course, or do you belong to another and you have yet to tell me." Estel teased sliding Legolas's other arm into the silky material.
"No," Legolas sighed dramatically "I am afraid that you are the only one who will have me."
"Good." Estel began to attach the clasps together on the front of his tunic. "For I am a jealous man and would not share you with anyone!" He growled playfully. Stepping back he admired the elf. "You look stunning." He breathed. "I can not believe that you would choose to spend your time with me."
"I choose you because I love you." Legolas recognised that he needed to reassure the man who had suddenly become hesitant in himself and their relationship. "You have wormed your way in to my heart foster son of Elrond and you have no way of escaping."
"As if I would ever dream of escaping one such as you."
Legolas pulled him into a tight embrace, before pulling away and placing a soft kiss upon the others lips.
"Come now, midday meal will certainly be ready by this moment Estel." He smiled. "It would not look good if we were to arrive late especially after all the support your father has given us."
"No," Estel sighed. "You are right." He walked across the room and picked the elf's soft leather boots and beckoned him over to the bed.
Sitting down on the edge. Legolas smiled as Estel knelt down in front of him and gently pulled on his boots for him.
"You are too good to me." Legolas grinned and stood once his boots were secured. "Now let us eat."
