Finally Legolas fell asleep, after alternating between crying and laughing for several hours. Aragorn left the elf to sleep and went to tell the news to their friends who were outside.
Scanning the clearing they had stopped for the night in he saw Gimli and Gandalf standing just inside the tree line. Running over to them Aragorn practically shouted once within range, "They are alive. Legolas can feel them moving. Everything is well."
Gimli practically cheered at the news. All though he would never admit it he had been worried for the life of his friends child. "Well that's . . . Wait did you say they?" Gimli questioned.
"Yes Legolas can feel two children within him." Aragorn did not think the grins on his friends faces could get any bigger until they heard this and the dwarf nearly threw himself into the arms of his friend and they both rejoiced.
"Well well it seems we have a reason to celebrate," Mithrandir was smiling and he led both man and dwarf to beside the fire. "If you both stay here I will go fetch our elf and we can be happy." Leaving the two friends who were still talking. Gandalf made his way into the carriage that had been stopped near the boarder of their camp, Mithrandir did not fail to notice the six men standing guard of the carriages precious cargo.
Stepping in the Wizard saw the elf curled up on his side his hands laying on his slightly swollen stomach with a large smile on his face. Walking up alongside the seat doubling for a bed the Wizard crouched down to be on eye level with the sleeping beauty. "Legolas you need to wake up now!" No response.
Shaking the elf was out of the question because it would put him in danger of falling. "Legolas wake up." More forcefully this time. Finally of about ten minutes of pleading and ordering for the elf to wake he did.
Gently rubbing his eyes and stretching Legolas looked blearily at his friend. "I have heard the news Legolas. Twins."
Legolas's face broke out into wide smile and his hands went back to gently rubbing his middle. "I know. I never thought I would be able to have one child yet alone two." Legolas threw his arms around the wizard and they embraced.
"It seems like only yesterday that you were born. Green Leaf you were called and you have brought new life to anyone and everyone you have meet and now you will have your own children." The pair smiled as Legolas stood up and looked into a mirror in the carriage. After seeing his dishevelled state and tried to straighten his hair and clothes.
Offering the elf his arm the wizard led the Prince down the steps of the carriage and outside into the late afternoon sunshine. Seeing their Prince Consort emerge from the Carriage the Gondor guards started to cheer and clap. All of them having heard the news of the twins from Aragorn.
"My Prince" started the captain of the guard "We all wish to convey to you and to King Elessar how happy we are that both you and your children are safe." Legolas smiled and nodded graciously, pretending not to notice the slightly stressed way the "Children" was said.
Walking over to his husband they hugged and kissed to the cheers of everyone in the camp. Blushing Legolas sank onto the ground flanked either side by Gimli and Aragorn.
King Eomer came and joined them and all the friends started to talk. It was not until later when they were about to eat their evening meal when Legolas suddenly remembered something. "Eomer is Arod well. I have not seen him amongst the other horses and I am worried that there is something you do not tell me?" Legolas questioned feeling guilty tat Arod had slipped his min up to now.
"Legolas there is no easy way to tell you this but Arod bolted after you fell and we could not find him. I fear that he is lost." Eomer admitted lowering is eyes not able to match the penetrating glare of the Mirkwood elf.
"Oh that is well then. He will come back when he is needed." All the people around the fire were amazed at the Elf Princes lack of concern over his horse. That is all except Gimli.
"He's right that dratted horse always manages to make it's way back to the crazy elf." Gimli stated smiling at his friend.
"Aragorn there is something that I feel we need to talk about, I will be riding in that dratted Carriage for the entire journey from now on. I know that is what you wanted to begin with and my foolishness almost killed our children and I will. Not be so stupid again." Legolas announced to all but silently seeking the approval of one person only.
"I think that. That is a very good idea. And please do not blame yourself for what happened Meleth. It could have happened at anytime. If you had not fallen then we would not know that you had twins growing inside of you right now. I love you." Kissing the tip of Legolas's nose Aragorn grasped his lovers hand and they lay down on the slightly damp grass from the earlier rain and started up at the never ending galaxy of stars above him.
Aragorn smiled as his husband started to sing softly beside him. Laying his rough lips onto Legolas's soft ones they started to kiss with a slow undeniable passion and love that made there friends embarrassed to watch. Silently they all stood and went to their own sleeping rolls and all of them drifted off into the world of sleep.
Legolas and Aragorn remained awake for a while longer alternating between kissing and just simply watching the stars. "Aragorn do you think our children will be girls or boys?"
"I do not know and honestly I do not care as long as they are healthy and we are happy and you are well I will be happy." And at these words they both left this reality to dream of their children and their love.
Well what do you think. And remember if you lovely people remember to review and if by the time I post chapter 11 I have 100 reviews the sex and Names of the children will be up to you. (Any really stupid names will be ignored and I will be angry and will give Legolas a miscarriage. Actually I could not do that because it would be mean.)
Please review and I will be happy.
