Author's Note- Sorry it took me so long to update! I hope it doesn't happen again. It's just that I haven't been in writing mode lately. Well anyways, here is chapter 2.

Chapter 2

The journey to Rivendell took twelve days total. When they finally arrived, they went straight to Elrond.

"Great your all here. I've been expecting you." Elrond said.

"You have?" Gimli asked walking up behind Legolas.

"Yes, I sent Legolas a silent message hoping that he would feel it and convince all of you to come here."

"I wasn't aware that you could communicate in that way." Gimli said, a bit confused.

"Most people aren't. Elves are all connected in some way or another and we can communicate without physically speaking to one another. When something bad happens to another elf, everyone else is aware of it. You can only sense it if the feelings are strong enough, and all it is, is a slight tingle." Legolas informed them.

"What is it you wanted?" Aragorn asked.

"Aragorn, may I speak to you in private please?" Elrond asked, leading him into an empty room and closing the door.

"What is it?" Aragorn asked, completely clueless as to what was going on.

"What I am about to tell you might be kind of hard to hear." Elrond began, taking a seat.

Aragorn only nodded, as he sat down across from Elrond.

"You are a father. You have two children."

"WHAT?!" Aragorn yelled.

"How can this be?" he asked in disbelief, "Where are they?"

"They are just in the next room. I know this must be a lot to take in in one day, but would you like to see them?"

Aragorn nodded his head, shock definitely evident in his face.

"Follow me." Elrond said, as he lead him into the next room. When he opened the door, Aragorn saw a teen aged girl sitting on the bed. She was very pretty, with long black hair and beautiful green eyes and a slender form, she looked just like her mother Arwen.

"Hello Elrond." she said turning to face them. Then she turned her attention to the presumed stranger.

"Nare, this is Aragorn, your father." Elrond said cautiously, waiting for her reaction.

"What did you just say?" Nare asked in disbelief.

"This is your father." he repeated.

"Whoa...too much for one day." Nare said shaking her beautiful long black hair.

"When can I go see my brother.?" she asked suddenly remembering her injured brother in the next room.

"Not yet." Elrond answered sadly.

"Wait. I have a son too?" Aragorn asked trying to take in all this information.

"Yes. I did tell you that you had two children didn't I?" Elrond asked amusedly.

Once again Aragorn just nodded.

"May I see him?" Aragorn asked after a moment of silence.

Elrond couldn't refuse, so he lead Aragorn into the next room where they saw a boy lying on a bed. The boy had dark brown hair, hazel eyes, and despite all the bruises and scratches that were marking his features, he was very handsome. He looked about fifteen or sixteen.

"Is he dead?" Aragorn asked, slowly approaching the bed.

"No, just sleeping. He was badly injured and he has been unconscious for a couple of days now." Elrond answered, looking at the boys bruised face.

"What happened?" Aragorn asked.

"Him and his sister were coming here when they were ambushed by orcs." Elrond said as they both took a seat in chairs that were next to the bed.

"So...what happened how did they escape?"

"Ares, your son, received a sword as a gift and for protection for his fifteenth birthday. But that's beside the point. He told his sister to go on without him. He tried to fight off the orcs and give his sister some time to get away." Elrond paused.

Aragorn nodded for him to continue.

"The orcs wouldn't stop coming. It was like a whole army of them, and they attacked him. A small regiment of my men were riding by and they fought them off. Then they brought the two of them here. I knew they were your children right away."

Aragorn stared down at his hands preparing himself for the question he was about to ask, and for the answer he was going to receive.

"And Arwen? Where is she?"

"I'm sorry. I meant to tell you earlier, but I couldn't bring myself to tell you. She is very ill, and I sent her to The House of the Healing. She left two days ago. I'm not sure if she'll pull through."

Aragorn bowed his head and quickly wiped away a stray tear that rolled down his cheek.

"It may be the end for her, but your children need you now more then ever."

When Aragorn said nothing, Elrond stood up.

"I'll just leave you with your thoughts. When you are ready you can come out and face your friends." Elrond said, and then with one more glance back at Aragorn he quietly left the room, closing the door behind him.
