They had been in Minas Tirith for 3 weeks now and everybody was ready to go home, or in Joyce´s case to go someplace else. But before they left Legolas and Joyce were both called by King Ellesar.
Aragorn smiled when they both walked in. He then told the guards to leave. When they were gone, Aragorn removed his crown and put it on the chair next to him.
Joyce smiled and said. "I see you still don´t like to wear that thing."
Aragorn answered while running his hand trough his hair. "Yes, it still don´t but well. I called for you because I hear you wanted to leave soon. I wanted to discuss somethings with you."
Joyce had sat down on the stairs and said. "Yes, what did you wanted to discuss?"
"I said that I would help you in anyway that I can and that promise still stands, all you have to do is call for me. Gimli has said that he will be taking dwarves from the Lonely Mountain to the Glitter Caves and Legolas if you want you can have the forest of Ithilien to dwell in."
Legolas smiled at Aragorn and said. "I would like that, but I can only take Elves if my lord is alright with that."
Aragorn nodded and then turned to Joyce. "You are free to go with Legolas, and you can come back whenever you want. But I do have a request."
"Ask what you want, Aragorn."
"I would ask for your protection when we go to battle. Will you fight with me then?"
Legolas was silent and waited for Joyce´s answer.
"Yes, Aragorn. I will. Just call for me when you need me." Joyce answered.
Legolas said. "But she will not fight when she is pregnant."
Joyce smiled at him and said. "I will try, Meleth."
Legolas nodded and Aragorn asked. "When will you leave?"
"As soon as Gimli is ready, I think in about 2 days a week most."
Aragorn smiled and said. "That is around the same time as the Hobbits and Gandalf will leave."
"We will come and visit, Aragorn, don´t worry. You will not be lonely here." Joyce said while smiling.
Aragorn smiled back, but then one of the guard´s came in and told him that there were other people who liked to see him too. Aragorn signed very deep when he was gone and put the crown back on his head.

The week went by fast and soon it was time to pack. It was decided that Legolas, Joyce and Gimli would travel some time with the Hobbits and Gandalf until they came to Helms Deep.
They said goodbye to Arwen and then to Aragorn.
The king smiled and said. "My friends, you are all welcome here at any time you want to. It would be nice to get a letter first but anyway my gates and doors are always open to you. I wish you all a safe journey and hope to hear or see you soon. Farewell."
Joyce raised her hand in a farewell gesture, she was wearing the sign of the king of Gondor on her cloak. Legolas looked at it for a minute before he asked. "Joyce, how did you get that sign?"
Joyce smiled and answered. "I said that I would fight with him, and then he gave me this."
Legolas shrugged and then turned his horse.
Within moment they had left the city and were on their way to Helms Deep.

They had made it to Helms Deep yesterday. And today it was time to say goodbye to Gandalf and the Hobbits.
"We hope to get an invitation soon for the wedding." Pippin said.
"Yes, we hope that we can send them soon." Legolas asnwered to that.
Frodo gave Joyce a big hug and whispered in her ear. "I am sure you will be very happy. Take care and we will see each other again."
Joyce smiled and hugged the hobbit back. The last she came to was Gandalf.
The wizard smiled at her and said. "I am very proud of you, my little one. You made a good choice. Just send word when you need help, it does not matter what it is. I will miss you, but I will not leave until I see you married to this Elf here. Take care and don´t forget that I love you."
Just smiled back and hugged him before she whispered in his ear. "I love you too, grandfather. I will not forget. Have a safe journey."
They kept waving until all of them were no longer in sight.
Joyce signed softly but then she felt Legolas´s arm around her waist. She looked up and saw the Elf smile at her. "You will see all of them again, Meleth-Nin. I am sure of it."
Joyce smiled but then they both turned around because Gimli finaly came out of the Caves he had been visiting with Legolas.
"Where did everybody go?" He asked.
"They already left, because they did not want to wait since dwarves are so very slow." Legolas said.
"And I suppose Elves are fast, maybe because their heads are so empty they can move so fast. We dwarves are simply more smarter then that and more slower." Gimli shot back.
"You may be smarter then the Elves but just to bad that has never been proven before and there is another reason why you are so slow. How can somebody expect to be fast when you have got so much heavy armor around you. I believe the pipe weed is also slowing you down." Legolas answered.
Gimli wanted to answer but Joyce stepped in between and raised her hands and said. "I have waited long enough for you two, let us continue to Fangorn Forest. Without the two of your bickering. You can do that once we are on our way again."
"We could have been on our way a long time ago, if Gimli is not so slow." Legolas tried to say, but Joyce shot him a warning glance that reminded him of Gandalf so he swallowed the rest of the sentence.

It was about two weeks later and this was their last night in Fangorn Forest. Gimli had caught something which he said was a rabbit or a bunny but Joyce was not to sure about it, so she had given it to Gimli and just sticked to the Lembas and the bread.
When they had eaten Gimli was fast asleep within moments.
Joyce was staring in the fire and did not notice Legolas came and sat behind her. When she felt his hands on her shoulder, she noticed.
"You are so tense, what is on your mind?" Legolas´s voice sounded in her ear.
Legolas slowly began to message her shoulders and Joyce began to speak. "I was thinking about the future. We fought in this war for the future of every living thing on Middle Earth and now we have to fight again, only this time we fight for our own future. I am just not sure if I am up for that fight."
Legolas was done with the message and his hands came to rest upon her stomach. Her head was lying against his shoulder. Signing softly he said. "You have the same issues that I got. I cannot say how long this fight will be or how hard it will be or even if we will win the way we want to. But I can tell you will not give up for the world. I would give up my trown for you if it was necessary. But I am sure we can make my father and everybody see that it is the best."
Nuzzling against him she smiled and said. "Else we will just call for Gandalf or Aragorn."
Legolas laughed softly before he kissed her on the lips. Leaning in and answering the kiss, Joyce forgot about the future for a little while.
When they both needed to break the kiss, because they needed oxygen, Joyce smiled softly and leaned her head back again.
Legolas´s hand was moving in circles around her stomach. His face showed of wonder.
Joyce looked at him before she asked. "Legolas, what are you doing?"
The Elf looked at her before he said. "You have got a great figure, I cannot believe that a child can grow in there."
Joyce laughed softly before she kissed him and said. "Well, many woman did it so I don´t see why I can´t. But I think you will know in time."
Legolas smiled and then clasped his hands together over her stomach. He then stared at the stars and Joyce could hear him humming softly.
Joyce was lulled asleep by his song.
When Legolas looked down he smiled to himself, then picked her up with ease and woke her up just enough to help her in her bedrole, Joyce was sleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
