Note: Thanks for all the reviews. I need names for the baby and if it is a going to be a boy or a girl. Let's begin.

It was a month later and Joyce was about 1 month pregnant. Aranel was trying to walk on her own now and Joyce usually spent the day trying to teach her that.

This morning was different. When Joyce woke up, she felt as if she was going to get sick and not like a morning sickness but really sick as if she had the flu.

Legolas was already gone and Joyce cursed him this time for that. She sat up and had to sit on the bed for a couple of minutes to fight the urge to lie back down again. She was sweaty and went for a quick shower before getting Aranel out of her bed.

Joyce felt really bad and while picking up Aranel, she placed the little girl on the ground. When Joyce was done with feeding her daughter, she put her on the ground with the words. "Go and play, Nell. Naneth will be here on the couch."

Lying down on the couch, Joyce fell after a couple of minutes Aranel climbing on the couch and against her. Joyce smiled and opened her eyes again.

After a few moments, Aranel moved out of Joyce's arms again and went to play on the ground. Joyce shot up and made a run for the bathroom. She was glad she reached the toilet in time.

That afternoon, Joyce had become even sicker. She had a fever now and everything she ate or drank came out the same way within an hour. She had decided to go to bed and had taken Aranel with her.

The child noticed something was wrong with her mother and called softly. "Naneth, Naneth."

Opening her eyes, Joyce answered. "What is it, sweetie?"

The child cocked her head just like Legolas did and Joyce smiled before she said. "I am sick, Nell. It happens to me sometimes. Go on and play."

But instead Aranel climbed in the bed and rolled against her mother before falling asleep.

Joyce smiled again and fell asleep too.

Legolas had been busy all day. But he had this feeling like something was wrong and he could not shake it off. After he had finished all his tasks, he went home.

When he got there, he was not greeted by Joyce in the kitchen but Aranel sitting in the living room, from what it seemed waiting for him. She had her teddy bear in the hand and when he walked in, she came waggling to him while saying. "Ada, Ada."

Legolas smiled and picked her up before he sat her on his hip. It was weird normally Joyce would not let her out of sight for long. "Aranel where is your mother?" Legolas asked worried.

Aranel pointed to the bedroom and Legolas walked to it. When he walked in, he saw Joyce lying on the bed. She was still fast asleep. Legolas got even more worried, since normally Joyce did not need any sleep during the day.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Legolas put Aranel next to him while he tried to wake Joyce.

Joyce awoke with a start and was surprised to find Legolas sitting next to her. The Elf looked worried and when she asked. "Legolas you are home early. I did not expect to see you until this afternoon."

Legolas looked even more worried and answered. "Meleth, it is afternoon. Hold still, I need to do something."

His hand went to her forehead to check if she had a fever. He did not smile anymore when he pulled his hand back. Joyce was sick and not such a little bit.

"How are you feeling? He asked gently.

Joyce laughed and answered. "I feel like hell, if you must know. I feel so bad. I can't keep anything down and my stomach feels so bad. My throat hurts and all I just want to do is sleep."

Legolas looked even more worried and he slid his hand underneath his shirt to check on the baby. He looked at her when he felt Joyce relax to his touch. He then began to move his hand around her stomach and felt Joyce relax even more.

He removed his hand and said. "Jus lie back; I will make you some tea."

Joyce nodded and fell back to sleep.

When Legolas came back, he was not surprised to find her asleep again. Aranel was sitting on the bed where he left her and was watching him. He felt sorry for Joyce. She hated being sick but everything was alright with the baby.

He put the tea next to the bed and walked into the bathroom to get a cold cloth to fight off the fever. He walked to the door when a knock came and when he opened it he was very surprised to find Gandalf here.

The wizard smiled and walked in. "Hello, my boy. How are you doing?"

Legolas nodded and answered. "I am fine, Gandalf."

"So where are my granddaughter and my great grandchild?"

"Aranel is in the bedroom and so is Joyce. I can get you Aranel but I don't want to wake up Joyce. She is sick."

Gandalf looked up and asked. "She is sick. Like morning sickness or really sick."

"Really sick, Gandalf." Legolas answered while walking into the bedroom again.

Gandalf sat down on the bed and after checking her fever, he said to Legolas. "Get me a cold cloth and some water, my boy. She had lost too much fluid and if she keeps this up, she will get dehydrated. The baby is fine, I trust?"

Legolas walked back in and handed Gandalf the cloth. "Yes, it is fine. I guess Joyce her healing powers are protecting the baby. What do we do now?"

"We will wait until she wakes up. Just let her sleep. It will take about a day before she will get better." Gandalf answered while sitting down in a chair next to Joyce and pulling Aranel on his lap.

A couple of hours later and Legolas were sitting with Joyce when she started to wake up. The Elf smiled and sat down next to her when she opened his eyes. "Hello, Meleth. How are you feeling?"

Joyce groaned and answered. "I have been feeling better, but now it is not that bad. This sucks to be a saiyan. I don't want to get sick ever again."

Legolas laughed and looked up when a booming voice said. "I am sorry, little one, but you have to learn to live with that."

Joyce groaned again and buried her head underneath her pillow while she said muffled. "Hello, Gandalf. I am going to sleep now."

Legolas laughed again and Gandalf joined in.

The rest of the night, they continued to sit with Joyce.
