~~~~~~~~
Silence dominated the great hall. The couple being the focus of the quiet. Disbelieving eves looked upon them.
Thalia's eyes met those of Elrond's from across the table.
"Well?" She said impatiently.
Elrond quickly shook his head and replied.
"It is rare that a babe is born in our realms let alone two. You are blessed"
The room became silent once again
Glorfindel stood up and approached the two, clasping Legolas on the shoulder and embracing his daughter.
"I am happy for you, surprised, but happy"
Thalia grinned and clapped her hands. Elladan was next to stand and enveloped Thalia in a hug that nearly knocked her over.
He stood back grinning.
"What the hell are you grinning at?" her eyes went wide with understanding, "No! Don't even think about it, you are not coming near my children until they are at least 50 and can outrun you, got it?!"
Elladan laughed, "I promise that I will never teach them anything foolish. And besides, my other half will always be around to stop me"
He said, glancing over his shoulder at Elrohir, who stood congratulating Legolas.
"Indeed I shall, don't fear sister, I shall make sure that he comes to no mischief"
She snorted and rolled her eyes,
"Yes, because you are perfectly innocent aren't you Ro"
Katlin cut her off as she hugged her daughter tightly.
"Well, first you get married and now you make me a grandparent. If we weren't immortal I'd be terribly angry"
Thalia laughed, "As if mum, you're thrilled, I know it and don't even try to deny it"
"I'm happy for you, you seem to have everything you always wanted"
Thalia embraced her mother and whispered, "So do you" she drew back and winked knowingly, making he mother blush a deep shade of red.
"Well, I'm hungry can we eat?" Thalia said, making everybody laugh, she was always hungry.
The rest of the meal went smoothly, the couple were congratulated many times and many questions were asked, mostly about how the babes managed to be so elusive. Elves could sense new life and it was a complete mystery. One that Elrond planned on solving.
Dinner ended and everybody left, leaving Elrond alone with Thalia and Legolas.
"It seems that congratulations are indeed in order. We can feel their presence now, but yesterday we could not. This is a mystery. I wish to you tomorrow morning in the healing wing. It is long since a babe has born in Imladris and we do not wish to see things go awry do we?"
He stepped forward and placed a fatherly kiss on her forehead before leaving the room.
Thalia turned and wrinkled her nose.
"Hmm, that went well!"
Legolas put down the goblet of wine that he had been holding and put his hand on the small of her back, unconsciously guiding her out of the room and into the garden.
Lanterns had been lit and they cast soothing shadows on the paths. The moon above them lit the treetops beautifully.
"Hey, where we going?"
Legolas laughed, she was always unable to stand silences.
"For a walk melamin"
"Oh…why?"
A smile made its way across his lips and he stopped for a moment and looked at her. Her pale skin no longer made her look ill. It made her look beautiful. Wisps of hair that had come loose blew off of her shoulders gently in the breeze. She cocked her head slightly and raised her eyebrow, her eyes were playful and joyous. Maybe this would be the thing that changed her and finally made her realise that there were people who need her.

He let go of my hand and stood still, watching me. His eyes left a searing mark on my body as they went. His face was serene. A look of rare tranquillity on his face, his blue gaze almost opalescent in the moonlight. His eyes met mine and a smile appeared on his face. I shivered, he could see right through me, he knew everything, and there was no hiding anymore.
He looked magnificent and taller, definitely taller. His well defined legs in those leggings and his boots that were strapped tightly to his calf. His chest looked broad and strong as did his arms. The arms that held me every night, that made sure I was safe and happy and loved. His sculpted face, the high cheekbones and his perfect eyes that could completely change the way he looked. His gaze could send shivers down my spine, sometimes he could appear cold and unfeeling and other times they could reveal his soul.
This was the picture that I rarely saw. He was the elegant elf that had fought many battles and killed many evils in the world. It struck me as ironic, that the arms that held me tenderly were also ones that could kill brutally in seconds.
He stepped forward and took my hand, holding it, studying it. he locked his gaze with mine as he brought my hand up to his soft but cool lips. He placed a chaste but yet very erotic kiss on my palm before drawing me to him. He leaned down, close enough for me to feel his fresh breath on my cheek but not close enough so that I could kiss him.
We both waited, watching one another, waiting for something, I don't know what though.
He stepped forward and kissed me, his lips felt cool and the taste of wine still lingered on them. I nibbled on his lip, making him growl softly. A chill ran down my spine and I pulled him to me, desperate for him. Without knowing where we were going, we made our way to a secluded spot that was sheltered by trees. I was stopped when I walked backward into a tree, I was stopped from moving as Legolas pinned me to it, his lips assaulting mine almost violently. This side of him was rarely seen but welcomed all the same. He usually felt like he had to be careful with me, he didn't say that but he felt like it. His hands went around the back of my dress and undid the ties, I went to undo his tunic but he swatted my hands away. The top of my dress fell down, exposing my chest.
He lifted my legs and secured them around his hips, his lust, and mine, fuelling something darker and un-experienced between us. He quickly undid his leggings, his mouth still plundering mine with his tongue. He let go of my mouth and looked at me, his eyes were now almost black with his lust and desire. His eyes never left mine as he violently but passionately thrust into me, causing me to moan. I bit my lip to stop from crying out and possibly drawing attention to us. My body moved eagerly, and of its own accord, to meet his hard thrusts. We finally reached our peak and if it wasn't for his lips on mine stifling my cry I would have woken a fair few people.
It was the most intense thing I had ever felt. Such raw emotion…there were no words to describe it. I rested my head on his shoulder and he laid his on mine, panting heavily.
"I didn't hurt you did I?" he asked me, nuzzling my neck.
"Course not"
I felt exhausted, I closed my eyes and felt him caress my cheek. I smiled, the kinda smile that you can only do when your tired, a tired but extremely happy smile.
"Love you Greenleaf"
He hugged me tighter to him and kissed my shoulder.

I held her tightly to me. I had dreamt of being rough with her but I had always been unsure of how she would take it. She had made her appreciation for being dominated well known during our discussions but I did not think that it would play out. Seeing her in the midst of her passion and knowing that I had done that brought out something deeper and darker than I have ever felt, and it was an incredible release.
She sighed and snaked her arms around my shoulders, kissing me before laying her head back on my shoulder.
Her warm, soft body, leaning heavily against me reminded me of the late hour. Sliding my arms around her back and adjusted her dress and fastened it, being careful not to disturb her. With a little difficultly I fastened my leggings. She moaned when I moved, chuckling quietly I picked her up as I would a child, her legs around my waist and her arms round me shoulders making sure that she didn't fall. Her long hair hung down her back and occasionally brushed my face as I walked.
I reached our room and laid her down on the bed. She was nearly asleep, her eyes glazed over as she smiled sleepily at me. I got rid of her dress and pulled the covers over her naked body. I removed my clothes and slipped in beside her.

My first thought is- OW! Why the hell does my back hurt? A silly grin made its way onto my face as I remembered why. Oh yeah, last night was defiantly something. We'd talked about it, but well…that was way better. It wasn't a kinky thing with me, it was more of a safety thing. It made me feel safe, I knew that he was in control of me and that made me feel secure, like I had somebody that would look after me. Twisted- I know.
I turned my head and looked at him. I woke him up and within twenty minutes we were ready to go and see Elrond.
When we arrived he was sat at his desk doing…well I'm not altogether sure what he was doing.
"You look well this morning"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
I asked, he just raised an eyebrow and smirked. Legolas just smiled.
"Oh shut up- both of you"
Elrond waved me over to a bed and made me lay down. I was a good job I'd decided to wear and top and a skirt today. He lifted my top and moved down my skirt. He smiled at me as he laid his hands on my stomach, much like Legolas had, only Elrond was a little more experienced at this. He pressed and a flutter went through our bond. I couldn't help but laugh. They were not impressed with being intruded on.
"You are fine, as are your children. As long as you continue seeing me once a week there are no problems"
"Do you know when they are due?" Legolas asked, barely containing his excitement.
"They will be here by the end of winter"
I grinned and sat up, dangling my legs off of the side, Legolas joined me, putting an arm around me. Elrond sat on the bed opposite us.
"What I would like to know, is how the babes have gone unnoticed for so long. You have been with child for over three months now. This would imply that you conceived on the eve of your binding. It is rare for babes to be born but it is even rarer for them to be conceived immediately and for them to be twins, there has to have been some…intervention. Would one of you care to explain?"
"They are Vana's gift"
Legolas said from beside me. I was confused, this is the first I've heard.
"She confronted me about my fears for Thalia. And she confirmed matters that I already knew and hoped for. She said that the greatest gift would be given on the evening of our joining"
Elrond smiled, my head whirled. So that was what this was all about.
"And indeed, you have received the greatest gift that there is, a child. You will have two beautiful children that I am sure will be doted upon, not only by the two of you but all elves. It has been centuries since the laughter of children has been heard"
I smiled at the thought of my children running riot in the gardens and harassing the twins. I heard Legolas chuckle, I'd forgotten to put up my mental blocks- well actually I hadn't quite figured that out yet.
"What? It could happen"
He pulled me to him and kissed me,
"Indeed it could, and no doubt will. Although I do not relish the though of my children being influenced by the twins"
Elrond laughed,
"I am afraid to say that I think it would be wise to keep my sons away from your children"

Conversations with Glorfindel and Katlin and then Elladan and Elrohir followed.
They were all extremely excited about having small elflings to look after. I wasn't too keen on the idea of handing my children over, but mum assured me that after a week of sleepless nights, nappies and constant feeding, I'd be asking complete strangers to baby-sit.
Legolas was trying his best to contain his excitement. His eyes were gleaming and his smile never left his face. He had made sure that he'd held my hand for most of the day. It was sweet really but I knew that he was dying to just let a silly grin slide across his face. But he couldn't...well, wouldn't, for the sake of public appearance. The twins however, have been less reserved, making sure that everybody knows.
Ugh- I needed to sleep- badly, last nights escapade has worn me out- I won't be right for days, and my back still hurts. Oh who the hell am I kidding- like I care!
"Ok people- sorry but I need sleep"
"Thalia you go on ahead and I will join you in a few moments"
Legolas said as he bent down to kiss me.
I nodded and made my way though the corridors. I opened my door and jumped as a figure turned round to meet me.
"Ahhhhhhhh! Mother what the hell was that for? Are you trying to kill me?!"
"Sorry Lia"
She was upset or mad or something was going on. Her accent had become very refined all of a sudden.
"What's wrong mum?"
