Note: Thanks for all the reviews. I need ideas. Let´s begin.

Joyce awoke later that night, while she turned around Legolas´s arm slid off her. The Elf awoke by the sudden movement and looked at her.

Joyce smiled at him and said. "I have to go to the bathroom. I am sorry if I awoke you."

Legolas nodded and let her go.

When Joyce came back, Legolas had taken Aranel out of her crib and was playing with her. "Say hello to your mother, pen mir (little jewel)" Legolas said while looking up.

Aranel lifted up her arms, as sign to be picked up. "Hello, little one. Did you missed me?"

Sitting down on the bed, Joyce sat Aranel down on her lap. She felt Legolas sitting behind her and the Elf´s hand moved onto her shoulders.

Joyce was tickling Aranel which made the Elven-child laugh. Joyce smiled and continued to play with Aranel.

She felt Legolas move his hands to her tight and looked at him. He was looking at Aranel and making faces at her, which only made her laugh harder.

She smiled and then looked at Aranel again. "She is very fond of you, Meleth." Joyce said softly.

Legolas looked at her and smiled before he said. "Not only of me, Joyce. She loves you very much too. She just has a different bond with me then with you. She looks a lot like you, maybe not by looks but by personality definitely."

Joyce nodded and then said. "Gandalf and Frodo are leaving."

"They just arrived in Minas Tirith. They cannot be leaving yet?"

"Not only from Minas Tirith but from Middle Earth. They will be leaving these shores in a couple of years. Together with Elrond and Galadriel and Celeborn." Joyce answered him.

"How do you know this?"

Joyce smiled and said. "I saw when I was in Valinor. I saw both outcomes of what would happen if I would not make it and what would happen when I would be send back. In both worlds they are leaving these shores."

"What would happen to me if you would die?" Legolas asked softly.

"You would hold on for another year and travel trough Middle Earth to try and get away from the grief, until you would say goodbye to everybody and leave with Gandalf, Frodo, Elrond, Galadriel, Celeborn, Gimli and Aranel to Valinor. Where you would meet me again." Joyce answered.

"Like I said before, I cannot and will not live without you. I love you to much for that. If you would tell me two years ago that I would say this today, I would have laughed but now I cannot live without you." Legolas said while grinning.

Joyce grinned too and leaned back against him. "Shall we sing a song for Aranel?"

Legolas nodded and asked. "What song shall we sing?"

Joyce smiled and started to sing.

There´s a calm surrender.

To the rush of day, when the heat of the rolling world can be turned away.

And enchanted moment and it sees me through.

It is enough for this restless warrior, just to be with you.

And can you feel the love tonight?

It is where we are.

It is enough for this wide-eyed wanderer, that we got this far.

And can you feel the love tonight?

How it is laid to rest?

It is enough to make Kings and Vagabonds believe they are the best.

There is a time for everyone, if only they learn.

That this twisted kaleidoscope, moves us all in turn.

There is a rhyme and reason, to the wild outdoors.

When the heart of this star-crossed voyager beats in time with yours.

And can you feel the love tonight?

The peace the evening brings.

The world, for once, in perfect harmony.

With all its living things.

So many things to tell her, but how to make her see.

The truth about my past? Impossible, she would turn away from me.

He is holding back, he is hiding, but what I can´t decide.

Why won´t he be the king I know he is, the king I see inside.

Can you feel the love tonight?

You needn´t look too far.

Staling trough the night´s uncertainties, love is where they are.


Legolas smiled and for once Aranel was silent. Then she made sounds when Joyce stopped singing.

"Now it is my turn." Legolas said.

He then began to sing in his deep smoothing voice.

From the day we arrive on the planet and blinking stepping into the sun.

There is more to see then can ever be seen and more to do then can ever be done.

Some say eat or be eaten.

Some say live and let live.

But all are agreed as they join the stampede, you should never take more then you give.

In the circle of life.

It is the wheel of fortune.

It is the leap of faith.

It is the band of hope.

Till we find out place on the path unwinding.

In the circle, the circle of life.

Some of us fall by the wayside.

And some of us soar to the stars.

And some of us sail trough our troubles.

And some of us have to live with the scars.

There is far to much to take in here.

More to find then can ever be found.

But the sun rolling hight trough the sapphire sky.

Keeps great and small on the endless round.

It is the circle of life and it moves us all.

Trough despair and hope.

Trough faith and love.

Till we find our place on the path unwinding.

In the circle, the circle of life.


Aranel had fallen asleep by the end of the song. Legolas smiled at Joyce who picked her up and put her back in her crib.

When Joyce sat back down again, the Elf pressed her against him with his good arm. "I love you." He mumbled in her hair.

Joyce smiled and saw the love shining in his eyes. He then captured her lips in a breath taking kiss.

Kissing him back, Joyce then buried her face in his neck. The Elf hugged her with his good arm, while kissing the top of her head.

It felt so good to hold her again, but Legolas knew he would have to share her with the rest of the world. For without her, the world would meets its doom. He also knew that one of his children would suffer the same faith. They would need to fight for the world too. Putting their happiness and sanity on the line for people who did not even know them.

Yes, he had seen it in her eyes. No matter how hard she tried to hide it. The pain of the fights and the mentaly scars she carried. Legolas knew there was nothing he could do but to hold her on times when it became to much for her to bare alone.

He always had the other Elves to talk to when it became to much, but Joyce never had that choice. She was the only protector, there was nobody else and by the time their child was big enough to take that responsibility, it would be time for them to leave, one way or another.

"Are you alright, Meleth?" He asked softly.

"The truth is no. But I will be." Joyce answered. Legolas pulled her more closer. Some things he did not understand, just like Joyce did with the sea- longing. She would never understand it, but she was there for him when he would need it.

Legolas was shook out of his toughts some time later and noticed Joyce had fallen asleep against him. The Elf smiled and laid ed back down on the pillows. He then closed his eyes and felt Joyce move her head to his chest. She relaxed again when she felt his heartbeat. While his hand stroked her shoulder, Legolas fell asleep too.

Hope you liked it. I did two songs. Love the songs. Just tell me what you think.
