"Legolas please slow down. I fear that you will fall and your child will be harmed." The riders in the group all heard the Dwarfs wail at his elven friend. The Prince was riding Arod who had been given permanently to him from Eomer as a wedding present last year. And as usual Gimli was riding behind his friend.

The arrangements for the travelling of the trip had caused great worry and stress for Aragorn. The King of Gondor had tried to convince his four month pregnant Prince Consort to ride in the carriage that had been bought encase anyone needed to ride within. Legolas had refused say that he was pregnant not disabled.

In the end Gimli and Mithrandir had stepped in to fix the situation. Legolas rode in the mornings and in the afternoons sat in the carriage. Luckily he always had company inside in the form of Gimli and often Gandalf and Aragorn would ride inside so that Legolas was not embarrassed about having to be in the carriage.

"But Gimli if I do not get a good ride in now, then I will be far to active this afternoon and you know I can be annoying in that blasted contraption you all seem convinced to keep me in this afternoon." Laughing Aragorn rode up beside his Husband and friend and offered to Gimli to let him ride with him instead of the elf.

As was expected Gimli refused. "No, if I do not stay with this crazy elf then he will fall." Even through their arguing Aragorn knew that there was no one else that the two friends would rather ride with. They were the best of friends.

"Now Legolas could you please slow down slightly. Not all of us are Elves and our horses can not keep up with Arod."

Slowing the speeding stallion, the trio rode back to the main group. As well as the three of them and Mithrandir there was also Eomer and his group of guards and lords and the guards which Faramir had insisted that Legolas and Aragorn took with them. All in all they were a large group and large groups travel slowly.

They had left Gondor three days ago and would be travelling for at least another week before they reached Eomer's kingdom.

The captain of the Gondor guard approached the royals, "MY Lord there is a large clearing up a head that we can stop for lunch in." After having both kings agree the captain went to arrange the stop.

Suddenly the sky which had been grey all day gave a bright flash of Lightning which was followed by a loud peal of thunder. Then the heavens opened and rain hit.

The horses panicked. Many started to bolt. This included Arod. The stallion had never liked thunder and seeing his friends run was to much for the normally stable horse. As he ran he started to rear and buck.

As if in slow motion Aragorn saw this happen and then Gimli fell, being tossed off the back as if he was simply a luggage bag. Legolas shocked suddenly by the startled horse and the loss of Gimli, lost his balance and fell. The last thing Legolas remembered was an endless felling of falling.

"Legolas, please wake up." Aragorn was perched over his pregnant lover. They were sitting in a cave watching the rain continue to fall past the mouth of the cave. Gimli had woken an hour ago but Legolas simply laid there not moving.

The elf started to groan and seemed to be coming round. Mithrandir and Gimli were beside him in seconds as the beautiful blue eyes started to open.

"Estel?" Legolas questioned squinting up at his Husband.

"Yes it's me." Seeing Legolas trying to rise he stopped him, "you have to rest you fell."

Suddenly starting to sound panicking "Aragorn my stomach it hurts, is our baby is it well?"

Gently rubbing his hands across his lovers stomach Aragorn tried to see if there was any problem with the child. "I do not know for sure my love. But I think that they are fine. But you need to rest, I will stay right here." Gimli and Gandalf rose quietly both understanding that the young couple needed to be together.

"You promise you will not leave me?" Legolas questioned in a voice barely above a whisper.

"I will never leave you. Or our child." Aragorn watched as the clear eyes started to dull and the eyelids dropped as the blond prince fell into sleep. "I love you."

The next morning the party carried on their journey. To Aragorns surprise Legolas chose to ride in the carriage for the entire day. Legolas refused to let any one sit with him. Gimli was sharing Aragorns horse.

"He blames himself for the fall." Gimli stated to Aragorn. "He thinks that the child has died. I t has not, has it?" Gimli seemed to suddenly realise the child that he was to be uncle to cold already have passed on.

"Honestly Gimli I do not know. I can not find any sign that the child is either alive or dead." Aragorn replied tears pooling in his eyes.

Suddenly there came a cry from the carriage that was behind them. Quickly turning the horse ion it's forehand Aragorn raced to his lovers side. Stopping the carriage and his horse Aragorn joined the prince inside.

The tears that ran down the elf's face told Aragorn all he needed to know. Gathering the elf into his arms Aragorn whispered to his sobbing Husband "It's fine. I love you we will try again. This does not change our love."

"No Aragorn no. You do not understand. The child they move. I can fell them. They are alive." Laughing joyfully . Aragorn lay his hand over his lovers stomach and could feel the gentle movements of the child within. The child was alive.

I do not care if it is to early for the child to be moving. This is fiction and elven pregnancies are different.
