Note: Thanks for all the reviews. No update tomorrow since I will be out of town again. Let´s begin.
Two weeks had gone by since Joyce´s birthday. Legolas had been really busy with Elves from Eryn Lasgalen coming in and out of the colony.
Legolas had hardly slept in those past two weeks and Joyce knew he needed it. Aragorn and Arwen had left again as did the rest. They would be back when the wedding would be held.
Making her way over to Legolas´s study, she walked in without knocking. Some of the advices from Thranduil looked ready to shoot her but Joyce held their gaze and dared them to speak. Some of them dropped their gazes but the Elders took longer. They had no desire to pretend that they were alright with their prince leaving and marrying a mortal.
"I believe females were not wanted in counsel meetings." One of them said.
Legolas did not respond, he was staring out of the window out of sheer boredom and tiredness.
Joyce smiled friendly and said with a ice-cold voice. "Too bad there is no counsel meeting." Her voice getting a dangerous undertone.
The Elves soon caught on and left the room. Mumbling about no doubt her manners.
Legolas had made no movement or indication that he heard any of it. Proven once again how tired he was.
Joyce closed the door and moving towards him with enough noise but he didn´t heard it.
Softly calling his name didn´t work. She stood next him and looked out of the window that held is interest but there was nothing out there.
Waving her hand in front of him did not work either. He was too deep in trance.
Thinking hard on how to get him out off it, Joyce then tought of something that would help.
Taking his hand in that of her, she was not suprised that he did not respond, she then gently placed his hand on the somewhat larger bump where the baby was.
After a few minutes he responded by moving his hand around her belly. He blinked and then smiled at her before he placed his left hand on her stomach too.
Smiling back, Joyce watched as a look of peace passed his fair features. Leaning in to capture his lips for a kiss, Joyce felt Legolas kiss her back before his hand touched her cheek. The other hand remaining on her stomach.
When Legolas slid his tongue in her mouth, Joyce answered it with question. When they broke apart because they needed to breath Legolas softly said. "Thank you, A´mealamin. (My Beloved.)"
Joyce smiled and said. "No need to thank me. What do you say we get out of here?"
Legolas nodded and while removing his hand, he then asked. "What has happened to all the advisers?"
Joyce grinned and said. "I gave them the day off."
Legolas signed deeply and Joyce got concerned.
Walking over, she pulled him into a hug and whispered in his ear. "This has gone on long enough. You are coming with me and I will not let anybody stop us."

Joyce had taken Legolas to the lake. The Elf smiled and some of the weariness seem to fall off of him.
"Let us just spent the day here and maybe the night. We will see. I just need you to get some rest. You have not been sleeping for two weeks." Joyce said while sitting down.
Legolas nodded and sat down next to her before he said. "I wanted too. But everytime I tried to sleep the sea longing would come again. It has been getting harder to shut out."
"Why didn´t you tell me?" Joyce asked.
"I didn´t want to bother you. You have got enough things to worry about without me." Legolas said while managing a weak smile.
Joyce shook her head and said while looking at him. "Don´t ever dare to say that again, Legolas. I love you more then anything in this world and I will never leave you. I don´t know where you got the crazy idea to try and do this on your own. Next time just wake me, so that I don´t have to worry."
Legolas nodded and then rubbed his weary eyes. "You are right. I am sorry, just these past few weeks have been a blur. I am so tired right now, I can sleep forever it seems."
Joyce smiled and said. "I know something that will bring you peace."
Legolas smiled and he knew what she ment. Moving over to her, he put his ear at her belly and while stretching his legs, he listened to his child´s heartbeat.
Joyce stroked his hair and Legolas was soon lulled to sleep by the comforting sounds and movements. Smiling broadly Joyce searched for her book in her pack.

Later that afternoon when Joyce was still reading, Legolas moved. Putting her book down, she saw that the Elf was awake.
Yawning he sat up and smiled but Joyce said. "You can ly back down if you want to. I don´t mind."
Legolas shook his head but instead ran his hand over her belly and signed softly before he said. "Thank you. I feel much better now. You were right. I needed the rest. What time is it?"
Looking at the sky, Joyce answered. "It is nearing dinner time."
Getting up and extending his hand Legolas said. "Shall we go back to our house and eat?"
Joyce nodded and was pulled up to her feet.

Legolas had cooked a simple but wonderfull meal and Joyce enjoyed it before she said. "You might make a chef someday, Legolas."
The Elf smiled and said. "I might. You never know."
After dinner Joyce relaxed on the couch with Legolas next to her.
"I think the baby is going to be a boy." Legolas said after a little while.
"I don´t know, maybe it will be a girl. Does it matter?" Joyce answered him.
Legolas shook his head and said. "No, it does not. Have you tought of names yet?"
"No, I did not. Did you?"
Legolas nodded and said. "I have tought of one for a girl. Aranel. It means star. But I don´t know one for a boy."
Joyce nodded and said. "That sounds like a good name."
The rest of the night, they talked about names and other things.
This was it for now. I need a name for a boy. So post away. Hope you liked it and please review.
