Note: Thanks for all the reviews. Next chapter will be the wedding. So post away with ideas.

Looking out from her hide-out in the tree, Joyce had tried to escape the over worried presence of Lord Elrond of Rivendell. If it was up to him, she would not get married but stay in bed for the rest of her pregnancy.

The party from Rivendell had arrived yesterday. The Hobbits were suposed to arrive today.

Ever since Elrond found out she was pregnant, he had been trying to let her take medication and getting her in bed. If he would keep this up, the only one who would need medical treatment would be him.

She gritted her teeth when Elrond came walking underneath the tree, she was hiding in and calling out her name.

Jumping onto the next tree, she used her flying powers to run on top of the tree branches.

Jumping on the ground, she croushed to allow her body the time to take the blow. When she strained, she heard somebody say. "There you are."

Turning around, she saw it were Elledan and Elrohir. They both smiled and Joyce said. "Don´t even think of telling Elrond about this, else you will not make it to the wedding."

They both burst out laughing and Elledan said. "Don´t worry, we won´t. He can be annoying, can´t he?"

Joyce nodded and walked with them back to the village. "Yes, very much. Can´t one of you get wounded so he will leave me alone?"

Elrohir shook his head and said. "I am sorry, but no can´t do. But if it makes you feel better, he will soon be off your back. Arwen has got great news and he will be fussing over her instead of you."

Joyce raised her eyebrows and went in search of Arwen.

She found the Queen in her own house. "Arwen, there you are! I have been looking for you. Your brothers said you have got good news."

Arwen turned around and smiled before she told Joyce to sit down. "Yes, I found out about a week ago, that I am pregnant with our first child."

Joyce stood up and hugged Arwen before she said. "Wow, that is wonderfull. Congratulations. I am very happy for you. Have you told Elrond yet?"

Arwen looked at her with a question in her eyes before she said. "No, I was going to do that with dinner. But enough of that. Now you know you will not see Legolas today only at dinner tonight. It is a tradition. Now try on the dress, and I was thinking with your hair, to do it up if that is alright with you."

Joyce nodded and took the dress with her to the bedroom.

A couple of minutes later, she left the bedroom with the dress on. It still wore as light as the first time, but she still felt strange in it.

Arwen´s mouth dropped open and she said. "I think Ada will need some herbs to bring Legolas by when he sees you in this. You look beautifull and you will look even more with your hair up and wearing a crown."

"Do I have to wear a crown?" Joyce said paling slightly.

Arwen nodded and said. "Of course. You are going to be a princess. This dress suits you perfectly. It looks even better with you stomach beginning to show ever so slightly. Does the baby move?"

Joyce shook her head and said. "Not yet. I am 3 and a half months pregnant, so it should start any minute now."

Arwen smiled and said. "You can take the dress of and then we will tell Ada about my pregnancy."

Joyce nodded and walked into the bedroom once more.

Arwen and Joyce walked to the woods where they knew Elrond was.

After a few minutes they found him.

"A, I am glad to see you Joyce. Now don´t you need to get some rest." Elrond said.

Joyce rolled her eyes and said. "I am going to see about the Hobbits. Good luck Arwen." And with that she left.

Joyce waited near the village entrance. She was soon joined by Aragorn. They talked about everything until they heard voices.

Joyce smiled and said. "I think the Hobbits are coming."

Aragorn nodded and climbed in the tree for a better view. After a few minutes four pony's came into view.

"Hello Joyce and Strider." Merry said from his pony.

Joyce smiled and said. "Welcome, my friends. I hope you had a safe journey."

Frodo smiled and nodded. "Yes, our journey was fine. Much better then the one we had before. I see Strider finds the tree very interesting."

Joyce grinned and shouted up the tree. "Aragorn are you coming down? I don´t think Faramir will like this."

Aragorn jumped out of the tree and greeted the Hobbits happy. He then said. "Did you bring any pipe weed?"

Joyce laughed and said. "I am sure they did."

"We would not dare to come without, Aragorn." Merry said while also laughing.

Aragorn nodded and then asked Joyce. "Did you tell them the good news yet? Or do you want to wait?"

The Hobbits looked at her and Pippin said. "What good news?"

Joyce smiled and said. "Sam is not the only one who will be a parent anytime soon. I am pregnant."

Soon Joyce was covered in four Hobbits who tried her best to hug her all at once. Aragorn grinned and then helped her get the Hobbits off.

"How far along are you? Will it be a boy or a girl? Does Legolas like it? Will we be godparents?" The Hobbits asked all at once.

Joyce help up her hands in defeat and laughed before she said. "I cannot answer all of it at once. I am tree and a half months pregnant. I don´t know if it will be a boy or a girl. Yes, Legolas likes it. I have to discuss the last with Legolas, but I don´t see why not. Now if there are any more questions, they will have to wait. Shall we go inside and get you something to eat?"

The Hobbits nodded eagerly and followed Joyce and Aragorn inside.

That evening Joyce was glad that Elrond left her alone, but she felt sorry for Arwen. The Queen was going trough what Joyce had gone trough before. Maybe Joyce had to tell Arwen about the hideout in the trees.

After dinner Joyce went to her house, to pack her stuff. She would sleep with Arwen and Aragorn with Legolas.

She looked up when the bedroom door opened. She smiled when she saw Legolas walking in. The Elf smiled back and walked over.

"Hello, how are you?" He asked when he stood near her.

"I am fine and you?" Joyce answered.

Legolas nodded and said. "I am fine, just missing you. But I will live trough it. How is the baby?"

Joyce smiled at the question and said. "Fine, not much going on." When she said that, she felt the tiniest fluttering in her abdomen. The baby had moved. Inhaling softly, she pressed her hand against her belly. The child moved again.

"Joyce, is everything alright?" Legolas questioned concerned.

Taking his hand in her, she pressed it against her stomach. Legolas wanted to ask what she was doing, when the baby kicked again.

His eyes shot down and he moved his other hand to her stomach too. Not believing what had happened. The baby kicked for the fourth time and a sunbeam smile lid Legolas face before his eyes locked with her.

Joyce could not help but grin too, she then felt Legolas press a fast kiss onto her lips. Breaking apart, he helped her with her stuff.

When Joyce left the house ten minutes later, she was still grinning.

This was it for now. Please review.
