Legolas looked at the face of his beloved Nienna. He smiled when she made a small sound when he moved. "Nienna, please wake up. Your family is going to be here any minute."
Nienna's eyes came into focus and she slowly blinked a few times before she looked at him and answered with a yawn. "Whatever you say, my dear. I am too tired to get up now but I will do as you say."
Legolas nodded and untangled himself from her. Getting up from the bed, he made his way over to the dresser and got dressed. Nienna propped herself up on her elbows before she looked at him, a look of longing and love on her face.
Legolas looked up from putting his boots on and said. "What are you looking so sad for?"
"I wish you could stay in bed with me. I do not want to face anybody right now." Legolas nodded and while walking over, he kissed her before making his way over to the bedroom of his daughter to get her up.
Nienna signed before she got up out of bed and dressed herself swiftly.
Elrohir was anxious to see his daughter. He had missed the birth of his grandchild but he could not keep Nienna away from Legolas to keep her in Rivendell but now he was going to see her anyway in Eryn Lasgalen.
He stopped his horse before the front gate, calling to the guards his title and to let him in. It took a couple of seconds for the guards to let him in but that did not matter to him.
Urging his horse on, he smiled when he saw the palace of Eryn Lasgalen. Lord Thranduil was waiting for him and Elrohir stopped his horse right in front of the ancient Elf Lord.
"Welcome to Eryn Lasgalen, lord Elrohir of Rivendell." Thranduil said in his low voice, greeting Elrohir in the way protocol demanded.
Elrohir dismounted his horse and while sinking to the floor in a low bow, he muttered. "Thank you for your kindness, my Lord Thranduil."
A smile lid Thranduil's face when he turned around to see Nienna coming running down the steps towards her father. Elrohir stood up as fast as he could before he swept his daughter in a hug, laughing while he spinned her around.
"Ai, Nienna, I wish I had been here before so I could have seen you become a mother. You look so grown my little one." He answered while he put Nienna back down on her face.
Legolas soft footfall stopped at the top of the steps while he looked at his beloved's face to see the joy at seeing her father again. He shifted his daughter's weight in his arms and swallowed away the nervous lump in his throat. It felt strange to see his life time friend as the father of the Elf-Maiden he loved.
Elrohir eyed Legolas before he walked up the steps and answered. "I am glad to see you, Legolas."
Legolas smiled for the first time when he heard the joy in Elrohir's voice before he stepped down and said in the same tone of voice. "I am glad to see you too, Mellon."
Thranduil placed a hand on his son's shoulder before he said in his loud voice. "Please, come on in, Elrohir. Did your father not ride with you?"
Walking inside Elrohir shook his head before he said. "No, he went to Lorien first. He will join us later if that is alright with you, my Lord Thranduil."
Thranduil nodded and answered. "Of course it is. Elrond is always welcome here. Now please forgive my manners but I must really dismiss my council. I will be around later in case anybody needs me."
Nienna looked at the retreating back of her soon to be father in law before she said to Legolas. "Is he alright?"
Legolas nodded weary and said. "Yes, he is fine. Just a little bit tired, it happens from time to time. Now, Elrohir this is your granddaughter, Moriethel Greenleaf, princess of Eryn Lasgalen."
Elrohir took his granddaughter from Legolas and before he knew it, a smile had lid his face and he said in a rasp voice. "I wish Tarien had been here to see this. She would have been so happy."
Nienna swallowed past the lump in her throat. She would have given anything for her mother to be here with her right now. Legolas sneaked an arm around her waist before he said. "I am sure she would be. But in spirit she will always be here."
Nienna smiled at Legolas, thankful for his words and kissed his on the mouth before they made their way over the room where Elrohir would be sleeping, happy and thankful for their friends.
