Note: Thanks for the reviews. Please check out my new story, Grief Stricken. Let's begin.
Nienna looked out from her talan. She had been here for the past 3 months and was missing Legolas very much. True, she had made many friends here but she still missed him the most in moments at night. She hoped Legolas would stick to his promise and come and get her before she was due.
Celeborn looked up when his great grand daughter came walking in the clearing. Most of the Elves greeted her friendly and Celeborn smiled when he saw how she smiled and reacted back at them. She looked so much different from when she first came here. Now she bore herself with pride like on of the Eldar was supposed to do. Galadriel had taken a liking to the girl and taught her everything she knew. Elrohir and Elledan had been visiting most of the time. Elrond had come by and had to drag his sons' back to Rivendell. When she turned away from the Elves, Celeborn saw for a moment the grief in her face, she still missed Legolas. Celeborn knew that he missed her as much as she was missing him.
"Nienna, come here my dear." He called to her. She walked over, carefully not to bump into anything with her stomach. She was not yet fully showing but one could clearly see she was pregnant. "Yes, grandfather?"
"Tomorrow two people will be arriving that you will be happy to see." Celeborn said. Nienna lowered herself in a chair with a sign and answered. "Yes, I know. Atar and uncle Elledan. Will you forgive me if that does not make me so happy as it once did."
Celeborn smiled and said. "No, I am speaking about Legolas and Gimli."
"Ai, it was about time, that Elf of mine came back. But what should I wear?" Nienna said while jumping up and started pacing. "Take it easy, little one. If that is your biggest concern that is very good. Go to your grandmother, she will have something for you."
Nienna nodded and left Celeborn to himself.
Legolas smiled in spite of himself and the Dwarf next to him when he came once again in the fair Lorien. He could never get enough of the Mellorn trees. Legolas jumped when a voice said. "Welcome, Legolas Thranduillion. And of course Gimli, son of Gloin. We have waiting long for your return." Out of the shadows stepped Lady Galadriel.
"My lady, you are still as fair as the day I last saw you." Gimli answered while bowing deep. Galadriel laughed and asked. "And what about you, Legolas?"
"There is only one lady that I hold in higher regard and is more fairer and dearer to me then anybody else and she is of the blood of the Lady of the Light herself." Legolas answered while bowing.
"That is well answered, Legolas. I know who you speak off, she is standing close by." Galadriel answered and at a flicker of her hand, Nienna stepped out from behind her great grandmother.
Nienna felt unsecured, would Legolas still think her as pretty. She was wearing a soft purple dress that Galadriel made for her. It fell around her curved body like water over rocks. Her deep brown hair was tied back in a loose braid and her skin glowed with the light of the Eldar running through her veins, no wounds marred her beauty.
Legolas gasped for air when he saw her. She looked like the Elf-Maiden he had wanted her to be. The time in Lorien had done her good, to be among her own kin and not having to face all her demons but get a period of rest. His eyes traveled to her stomach that was showing underneath the dress, he had missed her and missed a great deal of the presence in his child's life.
"My lady." He said before stepping up to her. Gimli smiled when he saw her and smiled even more when he saw his friend's reaction. He was surprised to see such a different side of his friend. He knew the touch and strong warrior side of Legolas and this time he saw the gently and softer change in his friend that Nienna brought on.
"Legolas, you are back." Nienna answered him.
"I promised I would be back for you, did I not? I never break a promise to somebody who is so sweet and dear to me as you." He answered while brining her hand to his lips and kissed it. Their hearts and souls sang at their reunion.
"Your words flatter me, my lord." Nienna answered while blushing deeply. She slipped Legolas hand in her own before turning to Gimli. "Master Gimli, it is such a pleasure to see you again."
"The pleasure is all mine, my lady. You have changed over the past few months." Gimli answered her while Legolas stepped behind her and put his other hand to rest on her hip. Nienna smiled at him and Gimli saw the joy dancing in Legolas's eyes; he wanted to be alone with her. "I am going to my room so I can freshen up. I will see you later."
Legolas did not say anything but Nienna called after him. "There is food in your room and there will be a feast in your honor tonight, Gimli."
Galadriel send Legolas and Nienna from her presence with a simple word. Legolas followed Nienna back to her talan before he could not contain himself and kissed her long and deep.
Nienna giggled before she broke free and danced from his grip. Legolas smiled and caught her before he said. "I missed you, Nienna."
"I missed you too, Greenleaf. I am not the only one who missed you." Nienna answered him while kissing him again. Legolas nodded and after a long lasting look, he asked. "Is everything alright?"
Nienna nodded and closed her eyes for a second before she opened them, they were dancing with joy, and she grabbed his hand and said. "Feel for yourself." With those words she placed it upon her stomach. Legolas's eyes shot down when he felt his child move against his hand. He leaned in to kiss her and that night, the both of them gave into the pleasure that their bodies shared.
Hope you liked it. Please review and tell me a name and gender for the baby.
