Nienna made sure her dress was stainless before she took a deep breath and walked into the library. She knew that she had to face Thranduil tonight. A cry had ringed through the woods not long ago and Nienna knew Legolas had told his father. She looked up to the left and found Legolas sitting on the couch while Thranduil looked up. He did not smile at her but did not shout at her either. He looked a lot older then before and his grey eyes betrayed how he felt.

Nienna wanted to sit down on the chair posit Legolas but the Elf shook his head and patted the seat next to him. Thranduil signed when Nienna sat down next to Legolas and said. "I do not know what I find more distracting, Legolas, that you befriended a dwarf or that you managed to get Elf-Maiden pregnant."

Legolas shifted uncomfortable under his father's gaze before he matched his father's steel gaze with his own and answered. "Ada, you must believe me if I intended not to get Nienna pregnant. But as it is I am happy with our child and I am be willing to swear it before our people and await their judgment. I will not leave her."

Thranduil's eyes fell upon Nienna and he said. "How far along are you?" Nienna looked up and said. "I am nearly 4 months, My Lord."

"And you two decided to conceive a child out of wedlock? Never thinking about the harm you would do and the shame you could bring to your families." Thranduil's voice sounded ice cold.

Nienna felt a wave of anger stir inside of her. But it was nothing compared to the anger that came from Legolas. He looked up at his father and for the first time, he was ready to explode. "Ada, I have never questioned your intention or if you were a good parent. Not many people would send their child away when it needs their help just because they cannot handle it. You might say a lot of things about me but I will not have you call my child a mistake. I might not have wanted one so soon but I am happy and I intent to take full responsibility for it. And it that means that I have to give up my throne then so be it. I would rather live one happy lifetime with Nienna and my child, then live with a throne and without my love."

Nienna was moved by Legolas's words and added. "I might be wrong in this, My Lord Thranduil and I might not know about a lot of things, but I do know that I love Legolas. And this child, even if it was not planned, is very welcome. Legolas has been a great father so far and I know that he will continue in doing so."

Thranduil stirred and laughed. Nienna and Legolas exchanged looked before Legolas asked stiffly. "What is so funny, Atar?"

Thranduil looked at his son and while wiping the tears from his eyes, he said. "I should not have been surprised that this would happy to you, Legolas. You of all people would manage to fall in love with the daughter of Elrohir and get her pregnant. It was what your Naneth would always tell me about you."

Legolas had taken Nienna's hand in his own and said. "Ada, I love Nienna and I love our child. Please think about it and let us not part of ways that cannot be right for us. I fought against all odds in a war against Sauron, if needed I will stand my ground."

"I know you will, my son. You are my child; I did not expect anything lesser from you." Thranduil answered. "But I do need to think about this. I love you, you got that right. I was hoping that I could wait a little bit longer before becoming a grandfather. Nienna, I hope that this will not come to stand between us. I do not know if my people will accept this. But I might be proven wrong, only time will tell. You have to return with us and we have to announce it as soon as possible. Maybe we should tell them that a marriage was arranging between you two."

Legolas shook his head and answered. "Rather say, that she has saved my life, giving up that of her own in the process." Nienna elbowed him before she said. "You are wrong, Meleth-Nin, I did not give up my life but rather got new hope and looked at a new dawn and life. A life that was denied to me from the beginning."

Thranduil's brow furred in confusion before he said. "And that you both are starting a new life. We will deal with this when we get back to Eryn Lasgalen; enjoy your freedom for now."

Nienna and Legolas both nodded and then left the room. It did not last long before Legolas turned around and said. "I will not become the stone prince I once was. You released a side of me that I do not want to be hidden any longer. I will stay true to my heart and to you and our child. I love you and do not care who see it."

Nienna answered grim. "But what if they do not accept me?" Legolas smiled and said. "I am going to move to Ithilien in the next year and you are coming with me. We will be far away from my father and all the people that do not accept us being together and do not accept our child, can stay behind."

Nienna nodded and pressed herself against him. She felt shaken and on the verge of tears, Legolas wrapped his arms around her before he said. "Hush, meleth. I will not let any harm come to you or my child. Come; let us go to our room."

Nienna nodded and Legolas guided her out of the room. When they made it to their own room, his arm was resting on her stomach and he whispered meaningless words of comfort to the child and himself.

Hope you liked it. Please review.
