Chapter 9: ...and Baby makes three!
A/N~ Funny, in a screwed up way, considering that in my chap. I clearly state Haldir and I were the last ones up. And Britt was there before Arwen. Oh well, my chappie now. Mumble, mumble Mr. D. Hehe!

Aragorn: Hey! That's my song!
Boromir: It's a federal offense to steal the king's coronation song, you know.
Me: So? I'm the all mighty authoress; I can do whatever I want!
Aragorn: *goes off to pout*
Boromir: *glares at me*
Me: *grinz*
"Brittany," Aragorn said. "Éomer will be arriving soon for my coronation."
"Yea!" she cheered, jumping up and down.
"I think someone else is gonna be here for the coronation too!" Kitty yelped suddenly, holding her belly. "I think my water just broke!"
Everyone sat there for a minute while the information sunk in. "Ah!" Kitty screamed. "Hurry up!"
"Has anyone ever delivered a baby before?" Brittany asked quickly.
Daniel hesitantly raised his hand. "I have." (A/N~ Remember? He has. He says he has in "Brief Candle" then he has to deliver that chick's, then he delivered Sha're's in "Secrets".) Legolas gave Aragorn a look that clearly said that he didn't want Daniel anywhere near Kitty, but agreed that Daniel had to be the one to deliver the baby as he was the only one with experience. While this was happened, I led Kitty over to a tent so that no one would have to watch the baby being born.
"Legolas!" I shouted, breaking into his reverie. "Get your lazy arse over here!"
He hurried over. "What?"
"Get in there with her," I told him. "You're gonna get the shiz-it squeezed outta your hand. " He looked at me like he didn't believe what I had just said.
"Leeeeeeeegggggoooooooooolllllaaaaaaaaasssssssss!" Kitty screamed.
"Yes, honey?" he asked looking in the tent. Kitty grabbed his hand and started squeezing.
"It huuuuuuuuuuuurts!" she groaned.
"Daniel," I said. "You might want to hurry up."
"Coming," he said absentmindently, trying to figure out if he had everything he needed. Evidently he decided he did because he disappeared into the tent, zipping the door up behind him.
.~*~.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" We heard Kitty scream. I flinched in sympathy. This had been going on for a while.
"That sounded like it hurt," Brittany said, the same thing she said every time Kitty screamed.
"Naw, really?" I asked sarcastically. "Sorry Britt. I didn't mean it."
"It's ok," she replied.
"OK, one more push," we heard Daniel say.
""OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!" Kitty yelled...and a baby cried.
"It's a boy! It's a boy!" Legolas came running out of the tent. He grabbed Aragorn. "I have a son! Estel, I have a son! He began jumping up and down.
"So I've heard," Aragorn replied. "Congratulations."
"What're you gonna name him?" Vanessa asked.
"I don't know," Legolas replied thoughtful.
"Leggy Jr." Brittany joked.
"How bout we include Kitty in this conversation?" I asked pointedly and walked over to Kitty's tent. Daniel was cleaning the baby off while Kitty rested.
"How do you feel, Cap'n?" I asked Kitty.
"Horrible..." she moaned back.
"OK, just checking," I giggled. "Britt's trying to name the baby 'Leggy Jr.'" Kitty raised an eyebrow at me. "Yeah," I said interpreting Kitty's look of 'Tell me it ain't so?'
"Here, Daniel. Let me have the little one so Kitty can sleep," I told him as Kitty passed out. I carried the baby outside.
"'Thranduil II'? 'Legolas II?'" Legolas mused trying to name the newborn.
"Legolas," Courtney said gently, noticing my look of disbelief at his name choices. "Maybe you should wait until Kitty can help to name the baby."
"OK," he agreed, looking at the baby I held in my arms and muttered to himself. "I have a son. A son...wow!"
.~*~.
"So, Kitty," I asked as I sat with her and the baby in her tent, "have you thought of a name for your son?"
"I've been thinking but haven't come up with anything yet."
"Well, you might want to hurry up so your elf of a husband doesn't name him 'Thranduil II'!" I shuddered.
"Oh, for crying out loud!" we heard Jack yell while Daniel laughed when Legolas moved onto "Haldir Jr.", "Aragorn Jr.", etc.
Kitty's face lit up in a grin. "Jack and Daniel crack me up. Hey, Jack...Daniel... You know, I always wanted to name a kid after everyone's favorite whiskey." She giggled. "'Jack Daniel'. Dude! I'm a genius!"
I laughed with her. "I'm sure Leggo will love that. I'll go get him so you can tell him. Adios, Cap'n!"
"Later!" She chucked a pillow at me.
"Hey, Sir Elf-of-a-million-names (All the names that he's trying to name the kid; I confused Vanessa so I decided to clarify that)!" I shouted at Legolas. "Your wife wants to see you; she named the kid." Legolas eagerly jumped up and raced to Kitty.
"What did she name him?" Nessa asked, temporarily stopping her "conversation" with Aragorn to ask.
"Jack Daniel," I answered matter-of-factly.
"Oh, boy," Courtney muttered. "I can just hear Legolas's enthusiasum at his son being named after alcohol."
"It doesn't matter; she already made up her mind," I said knowing that Kitty is as stubborn as a mule (Sorry, Kits, but you are! ^.^).
"But...but...honeybunches!" Legolas whined loudly. "I wanted to name him after my father."
"Well you weren't here talking to me, so his name is Jack," she retorted.
"But...but...fine," Legolas admitted defeat.
"Yea!" Kitty cheered.
"Whaaa!" (Little) Jack cried.
"Oh, he needs a diaper change," Kitty said and shoved him at Leggy. "Change him Legolas."
"Why do I have to?"
"Cuz I've got to sleep. I gave birth today, y'know." She settled down into her nest of pillows and fell asleep immediately.
"Uh...guys...help?" Legolas pleaded.
A/N~ OK, long enough. Sorry it was so me-centered and meant to Leggy (he was soooo OOC, it was bad). I've had a really bad week; I had to take my frustrations out somewhere. Oh, and the kid's name was all Kitty's idea; great wasn't it? And elves don't have last names so neither does little Jack. I guess he could use Kitty's... Well, just review! Tell us what you think.
