Disclaimer: Nope not mine (Dammit)

To nekomoongirl Not sure but it made my head hurt thinking about it. So I blame this chapter on you. So nah. *Sticks tongue out*

"Legolas come over here I want to show you something." The company had just passed Bree and were heading to the Shire. Legolas had never been this far before and Aragorn was taking great delight in pointing out anything and everything of beauty.

Legolas came as fast as he possibly could in his condition. At six and a half months pregnant Legolas was moving slower than he normally did. He always made a conscious effort not to waddle although it was getting harder. Legolas gazed at the clearing and sighed.

"It is beautiful Meleth." Legolas replied the clearing was flat and had a lone tree standing proud in the middle. The flowers were scattered around in wonderful shades of purple and gold. Legolas breathed in heavily and Aragorn announced that hey must move on with a promise to Legolas that they would return on their journey home.

Legolas climbed into the carriage with assistance from Aragorn. Gimli followed the prince and the two friends talked of their favourite subject. "I still say that you took credit for kills that were not yours." The battle of Helms deep was a constant topic of conversation and one that they never grew tired of.

Gimli fell asleep after an hour leaving Legolas to his thoughts. He gently twisted a ring on his finger. Next to his wedding and engagement ring this was the most important piece of jewellery he had. His Father had gifted it to him before he left Eryn Lasgalen. It was a single band of Gold. Imbedded in the ring was small chips of Emeralds and Rubies. If held up to the light it sparkled.

Legolas knew that it had meant a lot to his father and that his mother had treasured it above all others. It was not worth a huge deal when compared to the riches that Thranduil had but it was important because it was the first gift Thranduil had given his mother before they were married.

The words that were engraved inside the band stated "Vanimle sila tiri" In common they meant Your beauty shines bright. Legolas knew that this was something that was important to a family and Legolas pledged to hand it down to his youngest child one day.

The carriage drew to a stop and from outside Legolas heard men dismounting horses. Legolas leaned over and shook Gimli awake.

Looking outside he could see Aragorn and Gandalf being mobbed by four mad Hobbits. Fighting free of the halflings Aragorn moved over to help his lover down the steps to the carriage. All four Hobbits gasped at the sight of Legolas so heavily pregnant.

"Oh Legolas. How are you?" Frodo asked stepping forward with a bow to the elf. "How is the child?"

Legolas laughed "Of course you would not know. I am having twins my friends. In about six months I will have two healthy children." This caused the Hobbits to jump up and down excitedly.

Sam blushed as Pippin murmured something in his ear. Aragorn noticed and asked him what was wrong.

"Well I have a bit of news myself concerning my lovely wife. Rosie and I are expecting our first child." At this the four newcomers congratulated Sam and Rosie. They thanked them.

Rosie stepped further forward towards Legolas. "Master Elf. Please come in I know it can be uncomfortable to stand for long periods of time whilst pregnant and I would not like to see you in discomfort."

Legolas thanked her and followed her inside the small Hobbit hole. Sam and Rosie had been living with Frodo in Bag end for many months but it was far to small for, a Man, a Dwarf, a Wizard and a pregnant elf.

Merry and Pippin looked at the carriage and all the packs it held. Until Aragorn told them not to worry most of the things could be left outside until they were needed. So saying the friends all went inside.

Aragorn entered the kitchen just ion time to hear Rosie say "you and King Elessar will be sharing our spare room and Gimli and Gandalf will be with Merry and Pip." Legolas and Rosie were talking happily for ages before Frodo walked in carrying a large parcel; with the help of Sam.

Coughing he got the crowded kitchens entire attention. "Legolas, Aragorn we have had this made for you, but now we here your news we will have to make another." Aragorn stepped forward and pulled of the paper covering the gift. Legolas gasped. Inside was a cradle ornately decorated. Made of wood, there was pictures of plants and animal carved into the wood. It looked to be alive.

Legolas did not know what to say. "it is amazing. Thank you my friends."

Legolas fought back tears and was enveloped in his husbands embrace. "I am sorry. I have been doing this for days." Legolas laughed and hiccupped. Rosie handed him a glass of water and asked him if he would like to rest which he accepted.

Sam and Frodo led the royal couple down a small hall with Aragorn hitting his head repeatedly on the ceiling above. "I am afraid that it not as elaborate as Royals such as your self are used to but . . ." Sam trailed off as the room was revealed to them.

"It was built for when Gandalf stayed by Bilbo many years ago. But we thought Legolas needed a decent sized bed more than Gandalf did." Saying this the two hobbits left the lovers alone to rest.

"Well what do you think will go wrong I The Shire?" Legolas asked jokingly.

Aragorn played along "Well the food supply may run out and that would mean no second breakfast. And you know how much Hobbits like their breakfasts. Or perhaps a evil psycho Hobbit will attack."

The couple sank on to the bed laughing and wrapped their arms around each other and fell into a deep sleep.

Dun dun dun another one bites the dust.

I love updating this story. I think all day what I want to happen and then I sit at home and all the ideas fly out of the window and I can only write fluff sorry.

Okay time for another vote. Do you want this to have more Legolas torture or is it Aragorns turn. Or maybe someone completely different. Or maybe more fluff. I want your opinions please. Thanks.

Love
