It had been two weeks since Joyce had gotten sick and she was herself again. They had gotten a letter saying that King Thranduil from Eryn Lasgalen was coming. Legolas had been busy with preparations for his father's arrival.
Joyce was lying in the grass and enjoyed the sun on her face. It was an almost perfect day, it was spring and the sun was shining and there were but a few clouds in the air.
Aranel was walking now. Well walking and then falling into a sitting position again and so on. Joyce smiled and watched her daughter try again. Her face darkened when she thought off the last two weeks.
She had hardly seen Legolas and if they had seen each other, they could not spend time with one another because somebody would need their attention again. Aranel had not been sleeping well because of Legolas being away all the time.
She was glad it was not as bad as before. Catching the energy ball Aranel threw at her, Joyce stood up and while grabbing her daughter, she tickled her.
Aranel laughed at first but then started to cry. "Hush, sweetie, it will be alright. I know you miss your Ada." Joyce hushed the child.
Joyce sat down again and while giving Aranel something to play with, she lied back down in the grass.

Legolas was in his study listening to his advisers telling him that he should do things differently. He was bored stiff and while looking out the window, he noticed it was still early and it was going to be a beautiful day.
It was too go to stay inside and listening to reports being given to him. Standing up he said. "As interesting as that did, I have to ask you all to leave now. And no, this is not a question but an order. I will take the rest of the day off or maybe even the week, I am not sure yet. You will only come to me with good news or with news that the earth is falling apart. You understand?"
Everybody nodded and left the room. Legolas smiled to himself before he ran towards home to change his clothes.
After a little while he was done. He wore a silver tunic and grey leggings with boots. His blond hair was loose except for the braids he wore by his ears.
Putting some food in a pack, he moved towards the lake where Joyce would be.

Joyce looked up when Aranel had yelled something and ran to somebody she could not see. Jumping up, she held her guard up just in case.
It fell immediately when she recognised Legolas who had hugged his daughter. "Legolas!" She called.
The Elf looked up and she saw the happiness on his face before she ran into his arms. He closed them around her in a split second and he breathed in her scent.
"I missed you." He said his voice muffled in her hair.
"I miss you too, Greenleaf." Joyce answered him.
Legolas smiled and pulled back. He shifted his daughter's weight in his arms. Aranel had her arms tightly around his neck and refused to move.
Legolas looked at her for a moment before he said. "Little one, I will put you down now, alright?"
Aranel shook her head and said. "Ada." And tightened her grip.
Legolas rolled his eyes and said. "She is acting as if she has not seen me for ages."
Joyce walked away and answered. "In a child's life, two weeks is for ages."
Legolas caught his wife's look and signed before he said to his daughter. "If you will let go of me, I will play with you."
Soon he was freed from his daughter. Joyce laughed at him.

Joyce was almost asleep when a hand crept up her leg and settle on her waist. She opened her eyes and turned around, to find herself staring in her husband's eyes.
He smiled and while leaning over her, he kissed her tenderly. When they broke apart, Legolas rolled up his sleeves and unbuttoned his shirt some.
Joyce smiled when she saw his muscular chest. Looking up, she met his eyes again and saw that the Elf smiled.
"I love you, my beautiful wife." Legolas said before brushing his lips briefly with hers.
Joyce smiled and said. "I love you too, my Greenleaf."
She wanted to kiss him when their daughter bounced on her father. Legolas grabbed hold off her and while smiled at his wife.
He then rolled onto his back and tickled Aranel. The child laughed very hard and Joyce smiled when Legolas played with her.
After a little while Legolas was watching Joyce and he grinned when a plan formed in his mind. He then whispered something in Aranel's ear and the child laughed at him.
Joyce was half asleep when she felt Aranel shaking her and calling. "Nana, Nana!"
Joyce opened her eyes and asked. "What is it, baby?"
"Baby?" The child asked. Joyce looked at Legolas, but his face was unreadable and she knew she had to do it alone.
Aranel was watching her mother to see the reaction and Joyce nodded at her. She had a slight idea what Aranel was doing and if she was correctly Legolas had something to do with it.
She soon felt her daughter's hands on her stomach. Legolas had showed her how to feel the baby and now she was exited about getting a sibling.
Aranel soon had found the tiny bump and after two minutes smiled and went to play with her teddy bear.
Legolas was confused by his daughter's sudden change and moved to Joyce to see for him. Joyce caught his hand and she shook her head.
"What do you mean with no, Meleth?" Legolas asked.
Joyce smiled and said. "I would rather not do this in front of so many people. If you know what I mean."
Legolas nodded and while biting into an apple, he watched his little girl play. He sensed Joyce's eyes on him and while looking at her, he said. "I have taken the day off. Don't worry. We can spend all the time in the world here."

That evening Legolas together with Joyce had made dinner. Aranel had for once not threw it around the room but decided to eat it, which was a relieve to Joyce and Legolas that they could finally have a meal in peace.
After that Legolas had tried to bathe Aranel but when they came out of the bathroom, Legolas was very wet and did not look very happy but he said with a smile. "I did manage to bathe her."
With his free hand he indicated to the small Elfling clenching to his hand. She looked very sleepy. Joyce picked her up and the child was asleep within minutes.
After putting Aranel to bed, she walked back to the living room. Legolas had changed into something dry and handed her a glass of wine. Joyce shook her head and said. "Not right now. I don't know if it will affect the baby."
Legolas nodded and downed his glass of wine before he stood up and walked towards the bedroom and grabbed Joyce's hand in the process.
When they had made it to the bedroom, Legolas pushed her down on the bed. Lying down next to her, he then felt Joyce coming closer and leaned into her kiss.
When they broke apart, Legolas moved from the bed to change out of his clothes. When he had his back turned to her, Joyce sneaked his arms around his chest.
She smiled when she heard Legolas's sharp intake of breath. Letting go of him, she undid her gown and pulled out one of his shirts to sleep in.
She heard Legolas mutter behind her. "There it is. I was afraid I lost it."
When she was done, she sat down on the bed cross legged and said. "Come here. I know you are confused by this afternoon and now I will show you."
She instructed Legolas to lean back against the pillows and sat in between his legs. She took both his hands and placed them on her larger stomach then normal.
Legolas moved his hands around and then said. "Everything seems fine, what did you wish to show me?"
Joyce smiled and said. "What do you feel? And focus."
After a few moments Legolas's eyes snapped open and he looked at her. "But how can this be?"
Joyce smiled and answered him. "What you sensed is correctly. I think we are going to have twins."
The Elf laughed before he pulled her into a kiss and said. "Twins, which is why she is acting so strange. She knew, just like you. This is great."
Joyce laughed at his excitement. And leaned back against him before she relaxed.
What do you think? Review please.
