Joyce exchanged a look with Legolas and then looked back at Thranduil.
It was a couple of seconds later when he looked up again and said. "What will they people say when I tell them that their only prince has fallen for a mortal? They will laugh, but they will not accept this. And that mean that I cannot accept this. I am sorry but as a king I cannot accept this. Legolas, you should marry somebody who can suport the kingdome also and this is not the case. I am sorry, but you can never see each other again."
Legolas stared at his father with his mouth open.
Joyce´s face flashes with anger and hurt before she spoke. Her voice was calm but thick with the anger and hurt. "I do not care what the people say on this. I do not need their blessing. I don´t have any desire to be their princess. I would give up my life and heart for Legolas, but I will fight for him. I have fought for a long time without any hope of survival but I never gave up. I will not start now. I love him and I hope, Lord Thranduil, that you are ready to take me cause I will not stop. I have been fighting and loving him for over a year and I will not give up just because somebody tells me to. I have been moving out of the way for people to long and this was the last time, now I will fight. Unlesh you change your mind Thranduil, I will be in my room."
And with that Joyce left the room.
Legolas looked at his father and said. "Is this really your final discision, my lord?"
Thranduil flinched at the cold tone in his son´s voice.
Looking at Legolas, he could see that if he made the wrong disciscion he could lose him forever. "No, Legolas. It is not. I need time to think. The only thing I want to ask of you, if you can tell Joyce that I want to talk with her later today. I am sorry, my son. Just watch out for Ireth, she is on the move again."
Legolas nodded at his father and then left the room.
Thranduil signed to himself and then let his hand sink into his hands once more. What had he done?

After the talk with Thranduil, Joyce went to her room. She fought the desire to trow something trough the room. She had rarely been so angry or hurt in her life. She then collapsed on the bed and her tears started to fall.
A knock on the door starled her. She quicly wiped the tears away and went to open the door. It was Gimli who was standing in front of it. He smiled at her, but his smiled fainted when he saw that she had been crying. "Lassie, what is wrong?"
"It is Thranduil." And Joyce told the whole story to Gimli.
When she was done, Joyce has started to struggle the blankets out of anger. Gimli shook his head and said. "Well that is not a nice story. I cannot see what is so bad at Legolas marrying a mortal. I mean he can still sail to Valinor right?"
Joyce nodded and said. "Yes he still can."
Gimli smiled and said. "Was that the only thing? It is just not like you to get so overreacted over something like this."
Joyce faked a smile and said. "Yeah, I am just not feeling so good Gimli. I will be fine, don´t worry."
The dwarf nodded and then shot a concered glance in her direction before he said. "Are you sure?"
Joyce nodded and with that Gimli left.
When he was gone, Joyce sat down on the bed. She could not tell him. But she had to tell Legolas, he had every right to know. How she remembered the night in Lorien.
Flashback.
Legolas colpsed next to her, he was panting but smiling.
"That was the best sex, ever." He said while giving her a kiss.
It was the first night in Lorien and like everytime they were alone they would do this.
Legolas had fallen asleep next to her. Joyce smiled at him and then slowly closed her eyes.

It had been two months since that night and Joyce had not been feeling good. They were still in Lorien. She had decided to go to a healer.
Lady Galadriel smiled when she saw Joyce walking. Her face clouded with concern when Joyce did not respond. "Joyce!" She called again.
Joyce turned around when she heard somebody call her name. She smiled when she saw it was Galadriel.
"What is it, little one? You look as if something is wrong."
Joyce took a deep breath before she said. "I am not feeling good. It has been going on for a week now. I was going to see a healer."
"I am a healer, but what are the sympthones?" Galadriel asked.
"Nausia, dizzy, morning sickness." Joyce answered. "and oh yes. I can become extremly overreacting."
Galadriel smiled knowinly but then said. "Come with me. If you want to I can examing you."
Joyce nodded before she followed Galadriel.
End Flashback.
Joyce shook out of her toughts but she had made her discion. She had to tell Legolas and tonight was the best time.

That evening when the palace was silent and the party had stopped, Joyce softly knocked on Legolas´s door.
It took a couple of minutes when he opened the door. He looked surpised to see Joyce standing there. But then he moved to let her into the room.
When he closed the door he said. "Joyce, what are you doing here? It is the middle of the night."
Joyce turned around and said. "There is something you have to know. Tell me this first. Is it true that Elves can sense things within somebody´s body?"
Legolas looked confused but then said. "Yes, but why do you ask?"
"You love me with all your heart right? Do you trust me? Will you do as I ask no matter how silly or stupid this resquest may sound?"
Legolas nodded before he said. "Sure."
Joyce smiled and said. "Put your hand on my stomach and tell me what you sense."
Legolas looked at her with his mouth open but said nothing. He then moved to her and moved his hand over the cloth.
Joyce shook her head and lifted up her shirt. Legolas looked at her again but did as she asked. He placed his hand over her stomach and closed his eyes, letting concentration take his senses.
Joyce hoped this would work and looked at him.
Legolas opened his eyes for a minute to look at her. He sligthly shook his head but then moved his hand down and put his left head on her stomach to. He closed his eyes again and concentrated.
He knew she was not playing games with him. There was a reason for it, if she asked this of him.
Joyce looked at Legolas´s face. He was concentrating very hard.
Legolas´s eyes shot open and he looked at her in shock. There was no way that this was happening.
Joyce nodded and let her gaze drop to the floor.
Legolas lifted with his left hand her chin up so that she had to meet his eyes. His right hand remained on her stomach.
When they were on eye level, he said. "Is what I sensed in your stomach correct? Are you pregnant?" His voice shook sligtly.
Joyce nodded and said. "Yes, Legolas, yes I am."
"How far along are you?"
"About 6 weeks. It happened in Lorien."
"How long did you know?" Legolas asked.
"4 weeks.I am sorry I did not tell you." Joyce answered and dropped her gaze to the floor. She had heard him sign when she said 4 weeks and tears were starting to form in her eyes.
Legolas gently lifted her chin up again and when they were on eye level again, he kissed her full on the mouth.
He moved both hands onto her face and when he broke the kiss, he rested his forehead against hers.
He smiled trough his own tears and said in a rasp voice. "Thank you, thank you so much, my love. Don´t be sorry for not telling me. It is never to late to tell me. I love you more then anything else in the world, don´t forget it. Does anybody else know?"
"Galadriel and I send a letter to Gandalf. I don´t know if he got it yet."
Legolas smile fainted when he said. "This can be used to our adventage, Joyce. If we tell my father that I sired the child, he has no chooice but to let us get married. and by the way Gandalf is on the way."
A knock on the door interupted them.
Legolas let go of her and winked at her before he went to open the door.

After the feast Thranduil had been thinking and he had made a discion. He only needed to tell Joyce and Legolas. He knocked at the door and when his son opened it, he said. "Before you close the door. I need to speak with you and Lady Joyce."
Legolas stepped aside and let him in before he said. "We have something do discuss something with you to, father."
Thranduil was not suprised to find Joyce here. He smiled before he sat down on one of the chairs and said. "I have been thinking a lot about this. And Ireth came by. Don´t worry I will not listen to her." He said when he saw their shocked faces.
"I know you two love each other very much. You friend, Gimli, had convinced me pf that with some letters from Gandalf and King Ellesar of Gondor. I was also thinking on what you said, Joyce. You are right and you never asked to fall for a prince, yet I believe in my heart that you are the thing that make my Greenleaf happy. I can only say that you have my blessing."
Joyce smiled and jumped up and down, Legolas hugged his father and said. "Thank you, ada. I love you."
Thranduil hugged his son back and said. "I love you to, my greenleaf."
Thranduil then moved to Joyce and said. "I hope you will forgive me and that we can forget what happened. You are a nice girl and I was merely acting out of corcern for my son."
Joyce smiled and said. "I know, I am sure that we will get along just fine."
Legolas smiled and then said to his father. "Father, there is something we need to tell you."
He then looked at Joyce.
Thranduil his gaze went from one to another and at last he said. "Well, will you tell me."
Joyce took a deep breath and then stepped forward and said. "I am pregnant."
Thranduil looked shocked for a moment but then a smile lid his face and he pulled her into a hug.
When he let go of her, he said. "That is good news indeed. Legolas, I also heard you will be living in the Itilien. You will leave as soon as Gandalf gets here."
Legolas nodded.
Thranduil smiled and left the room.
Legolas looked at Joyce and then walked over to her and pulled her into kiss.
His hand lingered on her stomach once more. When they broke apart, Joyce saw Legolas smiling. The love and wondered showed in his eyes.
"I cannot believe that you are really pregnant, but it is late. Let us get some sleep."
Joyce nodded and followed Legolas to the bed.
When she had layed down on her back, Legolas put his head on her stomach and fell asleep. Joyce smiled and softly stroke his hair before she too fell into the dream world.
