Disclaimer: They ain't mine.
Two of the names I have received are in this chapter. I like them so they may be the names that I use finally. You think you could do better then you suggest some.
Seeing the elf collapse from the other side of the camp Gimli and Gandalf ran over to their friends. Rolling Legolas off Aragorn the pair immediately checked for injuries.
"Was Legolas hurt?" Mithrandir asked trying to find a cause for the elf's sudden faint.
"He said he was fine. I asked him and he said he was not uninjured." Gimli answered. "Look, on his lower leg a scratch." Gimli noticed that the wound was oozing a black substance.
"Gandalf examined the wound and pronounced t poisoned. Calling over tot the guards to fetch the Kings healing herbs. "They need to get to Edoras we can not help them properly out here. Aragorns wound still bleeds it needs proper care and Legolas needs the poison out of his system but I can not do that safely here." Applying Atheleas (A/N How do I spell that?) on to Legolas's leg and trying to get the unconscious Man to drink a healing tea. "If we do not get them there soon they along with their children will die."
"Then we leave now, to Edoras." The entire camp packed up and then the two much loved royals were placed side by side in the carriage they both hated to ride in. Gimli and Gandalf sat with them praying to the Valor to spare them.
"Gandalf do you remember the time that Aragorn arranged that picnic for Legolas for his birthday?" Gimli questioned determined to break the deathly silence that had fallen in the moving carriage.
"Yes Legolas was so happy that day. It was about two months after their marriage was it not." Gandalf replied the conversation becoming more and more stressed as the conversation carried on in this manner.
Until Aragorn began to stir. "Aragorn lay still." Gandalf told the injured King. Aragorn complied. What the wizard could not stop was Aragorn looking around and the King seeing the Prince. Legolas pale complexion look ghostly in the light and Aragorn gasped.
"No, Gandalf Gimli what is wrong with him will he live?" Aragorn questioned desperately.
"If you settle and we get to Edoras quickly everything will be fine with Legolas and the children. Now Rest." Gandalf spoke in a tone that Aragorn knew better than arguing with. So laying back Aragorn fell into a fitful sleep full of dreams of Legolas.
Dream

A two small children ran out onto a balcony towards their parents. One chasing the other. "Naneth, save me" shouted a dark haired boy "Laireloth cheated she opened her eyes and saw where I was hiding." The young boy said indignantly. The blond haired elf scooped his son into his arms.
"Elastaldo, you are five you know better than to tell tales on your sister." The man standing beside his husband said picking up the young girl clinging to his legs.
The children were the perfect mix of both their parents. Both had brown hair like their father but it was straighter than his morn like their Naneth. Their eyes were a sparking blue with grey tints which gave them a mysterious quality. Their ears were a strange shape, not quite pointed like their Naneth but not quite as round as their fathers.
"Elastaldo, you know better than to tire you Naneth," the King aid indicating to the young boy who was squirming in his Naneths arms "Especially as he is Pregnant again, with your baby brother or sister."
Saying this both children released themselves from the arms of their parents and started to chase one another again. Arm in arm the two parents walked in from the balcony and sat on a couch simply watching their family around them.
The royal family of Gondor was happy and content

End Dream
Immediately side by side the married couple jerked awake.
"Elastaldo and Laireloth" were the only words that passed the lips of the injured couple before they both sank back into a happy and content sleep.
Their friends sitting beside them gave each other quizzical looks. Before settling back to watch and guard their friends.
Days later they arrived in Edoras having rode hard for several days without rest in order to ensure the lives of their friends and rulers the company were exhausted.
The royals were taken to the healing wing and both were taken care of.

"Legolas where are you?" Aragorn came onto the same balcony that years ago their family had spent many happy evenings with each other. "Love why do you cry?"
Legolas's pale face was stained with tears that seemed to run into each other making a continuous flow of misery. "They re all gone." The royal family had just celebrated the marriage of the Youngest princess of Mirkwood to a lord of Rohan. Not only the youngest princess but the youngest of the four children of The King and Prince Consort of Gondor.
"They are not gone. They have simply started a new part of their lives,. They love us still and we will still be a huge part of their lives." Aragorn tried to convince his Husband.
"But they are not immortal like you and I one day we will lose them forever." Stopping his tears the elf took and deep breath and continued "But that is not this day, this day we dance." The elf laughed and grabbed his Husband of thirty years had and the pair started to dance to the music floating from the great hall below.

End Dream
"Gimli they will both live. They are well and simply need rest." The wizard and Dwarf were so happy. Their friends would survive.
But there was one question on both of their lips would the children be well?
Dun dun duhhhhhhhhhh!
