"I do not want to leave, Meleth." Nienna said to Legolas, while they were waking up together in the cold hours before dawn. Legolas grinned and answered. "Oh come on now, be a good girl, Galadriel and Celeborn will take good care of you and the little one. I have to face my father when I get home."
"I thought you were going to travel with Gimli through Fangorn and the Glitter Caves." Nienna said while yawning and burying her head in his shoulder.
"I do not know if I am going to do that. There will be enough time; I want to tell my father about us before the child is born. So on the way back I will stop by in Lorien and take you with us. But first I have to tell Gimli that I cannot come with him." Legolas assured her.
Nienna nodded and kissed him before she said. "Have we ever been together longer then one week?"
"No, we have not. I have to wait until Gimli is awake, which in his case will take a few hours." Legolas answered while rolling over and stoking her shoulder. Nienna felt the Goosebumps run over her arm. She loved it when he touched her like this. Legolas only grinned and soon his hand disappeared into her nightgown.
"No, Legolas, do not even think about it." Nienna softly moaned trying unsuccessfully to stop Legolas. Legolas smiled before he kissed her. Nienna felt his hand travel further down her body. She broke the kiss when she felt him stop. His eyes were wide open and he was looking past her at the wall.
"Legolas?" She asked. Something flickered in his blue eyes before he murmured. "The baby…" Nienna looked at him and his eyes shifted back to her own. "I have never felt it like this before."
Nienna looked down and smiled. She had never thought about it that Legolas was not able to feel the baby as strong as she could, his hand was lying flat on her stomach, finger spread to feel the baby more clearly. His eyes were glazed over and a hint of a smile was touching his lips. She felt waves of happiness and joy sweep over her.
"Isn't it great?" She asked, while bringing his lips back to her own for a hungry kiss. Legolas nodded and broke the kiss to say. "I thought I knew happiness but it is unlike anything I have ever sensed before. I have felt babies in the womb before but this is so much better. It actually response to me." He said while a happy grin lid his face.
Nienna smiled and said. "If we tell our father's that, they must believe us." Legolas nodded kissed her while he fell into a light slumber, his hand still rested on her stomach and comforted by the presence of his child and Nienna.
"Gimli, wait up!" Legolas called to his friend, while trying to catch up with him. "Yes, laddie, what do you want?" Gimli said while turning around.
Legolas looked around and made sure there was nobody around before he said. "Can I talk to you?"
Gimli nodded and followed Legolas into an empty room. "Remember the promise I made you in Helms Deep. We need to discuss that." Legolas answered to the questioned glance the Dwarf was sending him.
"Yes, what about it?"
"Something came up. I will still come with you and visit the caves but I cannot stay very long. I need to return to Lorien and then to Mirkwood as soon as possible." Legolas said.
"Why? Is everything alright?" Gimli asked concerned.
"Yes, there is just something with Nienna." Legolas said. "What is wrong then?"
"She is carrying my child." Legolas said in a softer tone of voice.
"That is fine, lad. She is what…" Gimli said while it sunk in. "She is pregnant with my child." Legolas said again.
"Wow, you must be really wanting to get killed by your father. I bet Elrohir was not happy with it." Gimli said while grinning.
"We have been over that, next is my father. So what do you think?" Legolas said, looking a little bit lost. Gimli smiled and clasped Legolas on the shoulder before he answered. "It might be a little bit soon but I know that you could not be a more energetic and concerened and happy father."
Legolas smiled and bowed in thanks, to lost for words.
"Take care." Legolas said while giving Nienna a long lasting kiss. Nienna nodded and looked at him with tears in her eyes. "Do not worry, I will come for you as fast as I can and I will take you away before you are 6 months along." Legolas said to her.
Nienna nodded and turned to leave but Legolas stopped her and while undoing his cloak, he gave it to her and said. "For you and the baby. To keep you warm and remember you are mine." Nienna nodded again and kissed Legolas.
Galadriel smiled and said. "Let us go, Nienna. We will be waiting for you, Legolas. Take care all of you. Namarien, Ellesar and Arwen." Before they left the White City. Galadriel never to return but Nienna always held the city and her new friends in her heart.
Hope you liked it. Please review.
