Note: Thanks for all the reviews. This chapter is for Myri78, who´s birthday it is today. And she had been an amazing help. Thanks girl hope you have a great day and congratulations. My birthday is the 16 of Juli just telling it. Well let´s begin.
The week had gone by fast. There had been no news apart from the fact that Eowyn had insisted to show Joyce some wedding dresses.
Today was not any different.
"Eowyn, I believe I have already wore this dress like 10 times and it still is not getting any prettier on it." Joyce said.
"You look beautifull in the dress, Joyce. If I were you I would pick this one." Eowyn said again.
Joyce signed and said. "It may be a pretty dress for somebody else but not me. If you like it so much then take it."
The dress had a brown color and was very tight. Joyce wondered how the woman moved in this. She did not like the color or the design of the dress and it was far to tight for her.
She would not wear it if she was not pregnant but now that she was, there was nobody who would get her into it.
After Joyce had took of the dress and gotten back into the pants she was wearing now, she gave it to Eowyn for her to try on.
Sitting back down on the couch, she smiled at Tari and asked. "Tell me the truth, how did that dress look on me?"
Tari giggled and said. "The truth, it that you are very beautifull and the dress is not that good looking. I mean it is a pretty dress but you have to like it. It did not look so good on you. What kind of color dress are you looking for?"
Joyce shrugged and said. "I am not sure yet, maybe white or black or green or blue. It just has to be something I like, not a dress I think oh my god I am stuck in all night."
"Yes, you are right." Tari said.
Eowyn had come out of the room with the dress. Joyce and Tari exchanged a look and they both said. "No, that is not the right dress."
"You are right, Joyce. It is very ugly and it is hard to move in. I am going to change and after I get back, I will take the dress back to woman who made it."
Joyce nodded and stood up. "I believe Aragorn and Arwen have arrived."
Eowyn said. "Then I better hurry up."

Joyce walked outside and was greeted by about a dozen guards. She grinned when Legolas slid his arms around her waist and whispered in her ear. "I think Aragorn got used to being the King. I wonder were we should put all the guards, I don´t think we have enough room. Should we send half of them back?"
She whispered back. "Maybe we should. I don´t think they are so fond of living in the trees."
Legolas´s tightened his grip for second before pressing a fast kiss against her temple and then let go. He did not leave her side and they waited until Arwen and Aragorn would be visible.
A couple of minutes later Aragorn finaly came into view. He smiled and Legolas and he bowed for each other and Aragorn turned around and said to the guards. "You can leave now."
When they were gone and Arwen was standing next to them, Aragorn embraced Legolas like the old friend´s they were.
Joyce smiled and then was hugged by Arwen.
"It is good to see you standing again, Mellon-nin." Aragorn said to Legolas.
Aragorn then moved to Joyce and said. "Lady Joyce. You look absolutly fantastic. I am glad to see that he takes good care of you." Before he gently hugged her.
Joyce then playfully shoved Aragorn. "You know better then to call me lady, Aragorn. And yes, I don´t see why Legolas should not take good care of me. I mean he is stuck with me for the rest of my life."
"Ai, don´t remind me." Legolas said while bringing a hand to his head.
"Legolas, you were the one who asked me. You should of tought that before you asked." Joyce said while grinning.
Legolas smiled and answered. "You are right, but I would not want to change a thing. Love you too much for that."
"Married life is not that bad, now is it Estel (hope)." Arwen said.
"No, it is not. It is part of being king that sucks. "Aragorn said darkly, which caused them all to laugh.
"Let us go inside." Legolas proposed.
"Yes, that is what I needed to hear." Aragorn said.

Faramir and Eowyn were waiting in the dining room of the stone castle. They were greeted with just as much enthusiast as Joyce and Legolas had been.
Joyce exchanged a look with Legolas and smiled at him. The Elf smiled back and Joyce saw that he was enjoying that his friends were here.
When they had sat down, Aragorn removed the crown from his head and placed it on the table. "Don´t look at me like that Faramir. I don´t like wearing that thing. And since we are among friends, I am now Aragorn, not Ellesar or any king you can think off."
Joyce grinned at Aragorn. The man smiled back and sipped his wine.

After two hours Legolas excused himself and Eowyn and Faramir said they were going for a walk. Arwen smiled and said she was going to read a book in her room and freshen up for tonight.
Aragorn smiled at her and said. "It is just you and me. Arwen said you have got good news. But I take it you want to wait. So what is it that you want to do?"
"Yes, we do have got good news, but I want to wait until Legolas is done. I have got no idea what to do." Joyce answered.
Aragorn looked her over before he said. "You look different. Did you stop training?"
Joyce shook her head and said. "No, I did not. Why do you ask?"
"I don´t know, but unlesh I am mistaken your stomach muscles are not as tight as before." Aragorn said.
Joyce looked at him puzzled. "How can you tell?"
Aragorn smiled and answered. "I have known you all your life. I can tell, don´t know how but I noticed the difference when you stood there with Legolas."
"Wow, I did not know it was so obvious." Joyce said while looking at the ground.
"Why, is there something wrong?" Aragorn asked softly.
Joyce looked up again and said. "No, nothing is wrong."
Aragorn smiled before he said. "Come, you still need to show me around the house."
Joyce smiled and she led him towards their home.

After Joyce had shown Aragorn around, they were standing on the balcony. Aragorn was looking out towards the sea.
"Does Legolas still has the sea longing so strong?" He asked while he turned around.
Joyce shook her head and she said. "Not if somebody is with him. I catch him staring out the window sometimes. But it is different now, I think he has learned to deal with it."
Aragorn nodded and then he smiled as if something just hit him. "Joyce, can I ask you something?"
Joyce nodded and they walked back inside. "Sure, ask anything you want Aragorn."
Aragorn stopped her so she was facing him, before he asked. "You are pregnant, are you not?"
Joyce smiled and said. "Yes, we were planning on telling it tonight, but since you figured it out."
Aragorn smiled and then hugged her gently. "I never tough it would be this fast. How far along are you?"
"Almost two months." Joyce answered while leading him into the living room.
"That is not that long then, have you been seeing a healer ever since?" He asked as always worried.
Joyce shook her head and said. "No, there has been to much going on and we don´t have got that many healers yet. Only Tari, but she is still learning for it."
Aragorn nodded and said. "If you want to, I can take a look. I may not know all about it, but I think I know enough."
Joyce looked at him before she said. "It is fine with me, but ask Legolas first."
Aragorn nodded and stood up. "I will ask him. I take it he is in his study. Just wait here."
Joyce nodded and Aragorn left.

After a little while later Aragorn came back. He smiled and said. "Legolas said it would be fine with him as long as you were alright with it."
Joyce nodded and asked. "alright, do you want to wait or have a look now?"
"I don´t mind now." Aragorn answered.
Joyce stood up and Aragorn said. "I think the bedroom is best, since I need you to lie down."
Nodding, Joyce walked into the bedroom.

Joyce had sat down on the bed and waited for Aragorn to instruct her. The man smiled reassuring at her and said calmly. "Just ly back and lift up your shirt so your stomach is bare. That is all."
Joyce did as he asked and while Aragorn sat down on the bed, he said as a warning. "My hands are cold, so don´t jump, alright."
Joyce nodded and smiled at him.
Aragorn took this as a sign to begin his examine and slowly moved his hands around her stomach, feeling for the baby.
After a few seconds, he moved his hands again and said. "I cannot seem to find the baby yet, give me a few more minutes."
Joyce nodded before looking up at the celling again.
Minutes went by without anything happening apart from Aragorn moving his hand now and then. Aragorn then placed his hand in the middle of her stomach and smiled before he said. "Found it."
He then gently felt around.
After a few minutes he removed his hand and smiled before pulling her up. "Everything is fine. But you are not 2 months pregnant, If I am correct you are nearing your 11th week. So that is almost 3 months. That is why I could tell you were pregnant."
"Thank you." Joyce said.
Aragorn hugged her before he said. "No need to. I don´t mind. I better go and freshed up too now, they don´t like it when I am as dirty again as in the war."
Joyce laughed out loud at this before she shut the door behind Aragorn.
Hope you liked it. Please review.
