Chapter Seven: Epilogue

In the woods of Ithilien

I walked through the Elvin colony in Ithilien with some of the wood elves that I was friends with (because unlike some of the other Elves from Mirkwood who now lived in this colony, they were not upset about having me as the wife of their Prince, and had accepted me as a friend while the rest believed that I just wanted to be a Princess.) and who I always trusted with something that I didn't want to become common knowledge and what I was about to tell them was something that I really did not want spread around the colony right now.

You see I had gone to one of the healers in the colony that morning because I had not been feeling well (Again. The last time I had felt well in the morning was almost three weeks ago.) and they had told me that I was pregnant, I had decided to tell my friends first because two of them were already mothers, and I was hoping that they would have some advice about telling their husbands that they were going to be a father.

Even though Legolas and I had been married for almost three years (our third anniversary was a week away.) I was not sure about how he would react when I told him, after my friends and I stopped for a while I decided to tell them and I turned to face them, "I don't know how to say this but I need your help about something."

Cassalyn (one of the two mothers among my friends.) looked at me before she asked, "What is the matter? You are acting like I did when I first told my departed husband that I was pregnant." I could tell she felt sad (Cassalyn's husband had been killed guarding the southern boarder of Mirkwood near the end of the war of the ring, leaving her along with their two children.)

Looking at my friend I answered "That is because I am pregnant, but I do not know how Legolas will react when I tell him, even though I plan to tell him on our anniversary."

Another one of my friends Sonya (the mother of Atropine, who had been the ring bearer at Legolas and my wedding and who had become childhood sweethearts with Katrina, and also had a daughter called Sybella.) suggested "Why not let him find out by himself, things tend to be more peaceful if you don't have your husband worrying over you from the moment you tell him."

I laughed softly "Maybe I should try that instead." I answered smiling at my friend.

It turned out that taking Sonya's advice and letting my husband find out alone made some events rather peaceful (unless you counted the 'mood swings' stage resulting in my kicking my husband out of our bed chambers.) however it was not until I was seven months along that Legolas finally understood why I was not acting like I normally did (and why I was wearing slightly larger clothes then usual.).

Flashback

It was late spring, which meant that it was time for the yearly council of rulers in middle-earth and this year the council was being held in Rohan, home of the horse lords, and kingdom of his brother and sister-in-law King Eomer and Queen Natasha (his wife's twin sister.) And their five-month-old son prince Elfwine.

On the good side of things this meant that the Queen of Rohan might be able to find out why her sister was acting so strangely.

True Legolas had a few suspicions on why his wife was not her usual calm self but like the Queen of Rohan had said when he and his wife got married 'woman are meant to be loved, not understood' so he decided to ask Queen Natasha first.

After talking to his sister-in-law Legolas went to look for his twenty-two year old wife, the suspicions that the prince of Mirkwood had were that either; one: she no longer loved him, two: she was angry at him for some reason, or three: he was to be a father. Legolas had ruled out the first one because Sally did not agree to marry him simply because she wanted to share his title, the second possibility was most unlikely since she was never angry unless he and his friend Gimli had a argument (which had not happened since the war had ended.) so the only exclamation was that Sally was pregnant since she seemed to be sleeping a lot more then she usually did (and it would also explain why she had made him sleep on the couch for the last three months.) an hour later he found his wife asleep in the guest rooms they had been given upon their arrival.

After his wife woke up Legolas smiled before he asked, "why didn't you tell me that you are pregnant? How far along are you?" I smiled back at him as I replied calmly "nice to see that you finally figured out that I am with child, the healers told me that I should expect twins, as for why I said nothing I wanted to see if you could figure it out on your own and our child/children will be here in two months."

End Flashback

After we returned to Ithilien it was a week into summer and I was due in seven weeks, Legolas and I announced it to the colony four days later. My friends and those who were good friends with Legolas (which made up to more then half of the colony.) all cheered, but the elves who didn't like me because of my marriage to their prince remained silent to the news.

Even though not all of the colony was happy about this we decided to send word to King Thranduil and to Gimli the dwarf.

It had been quiet amusing when the dwarven Lord Gloin and the king of Mirkwood had discovered the friendship between their perspective sons, Gloin had taken the news rather well (I remembered how Gloin had fainted upon hearing the news, although it had been over a hour before he had woken up.) although I should have expected Thranduil's reaction.

Even though I had never seen my soon to be father-in-law angry it had not been a good scene to witness (after shouting at Legolas for almost half an hour about how dwarves only made trouble, Thranduil had almost withdrawn his approval of Legolas and I getting married.).

The messengers set out for Mirkwood, and the dwarven colony in the Glittering Caves two days later.

I had been sad when Carina and Justin had been sent back to our world seven months after Natasha and I had married, but with upcoming events it was a good thing that they had been sent back by Gandalf seven months after Natasha, Sophie, and I had been married, Legolas and I both knew that Justin would not have liked that news of my being pregnant.

In the forest of Mirkwood

Thranduil was taking care of some of the paperwork that was the bane of any ruler, when he heard laughter coming from outside the study.

Going to see what the laughter was about Thranduil soon found Galion, and some of his Advisors holding a piece of paper and laughing, after getting his advisors to give him the letter the King of Mirkwood returned to his study so that he would be able to read the letter quietly, he could not help chuckling at what the letter said.

Dear father. Said the letter

Sally is with child and is due in early summer; she expected to have twins seven weeks from now.

I know you might consider this slightly annoying but can you please give me some advice on being a father, because when Sally was in her 'mood swings' stage she kicked me out of our chambers for three months when I asked her if something was wrong.

I hope that you do not mind receiving this news so late.

Your son.

Legolas.

Thranduil smiled to himself, if his son thought that sleeping on the couch for three months was bad then he should count himself lucky, Thranduil was certain of that.

When Legolas's mother was carrying their son within her Laure had made him sleep on the couch in his study from the second month of her pregnancy to the month before she had given birth (not to mention giving him a very good punch and a black eye when he had accidentally questioned her actions.).

The letter had said that his daughter-in-law was due in seven weeks, and it would normally take up to three weeks to get from Ithilien to Mirkwood so it would be a month before his first grand children arrived, however the month before the birth was the second-to-worst stage of when someone's wife is pregnant (in the case of the soon to be father that was.) because it meant very little sleep for the future father.

Because they would make their husbands get whatever sort of food they craved for at the time (even if it was the middle of the night.) and although Laure was no longer with him, his beloved wife had been no exception.

Flashback, October 1,928 years ago

Thranduil Oropherion king of Mirkwood silently thanked the valar that it was only three more weeks before his wife would give birth to their first child and although he would never say it out loud Thranduil was glad that Laure was no longer in the stage of having mood swings (because sleeping on the couch in his study for six months was highly uncomfortable.) and right now he was getting strawberries for his Queen, never mind that it was one o clock in the morning.

After getting back and finally being able to go back to sleep the king of Mirkwood was relieved to have his wife in a good mood and to know that it would not be long now until he was a father.

However the next three weeks seemed like three centuries.

Laure woke him at three hours into the morning and told him that it was time, which meant that she meant that she had just gone into labor, after throwing on a robe Thranduil rushed to get the healers.

It was almost midnight and his wife was still in labor hearing Laure screaming in pain had made Thranduil try to go inside to his wife, But Galion (the butler) and his advisors had stopped him from doing so by restraining him and trying to make him calm down.

Finally ten minutes after the clock struck midnight Thranduil heard the cry of an infant and one of the healers opened the door and told him that he could now see his wife and newborn child.

Many years went by in happiness for the King and Queen of Mirkwood as their son grew. But much of that happiness was destroyed when Laure was killed by orcs a few weeks after their son's 500th year.

Back in the woods of Ithilien

Legolas inwardly groaned, of all the times for his wife to get craving it just had to be the first hour of the new day, hopefully this would be the last time, since he was to be a father in three more days, then maybe he would actually be able to sleep at night.

This was the twenty-fifth time that his wife had made him get her whatever it was that she had cravings for, last night it had been chocolate and this time it was strawberries.

However he was not about to say this kind of thing to his wife because he did not wish to have her exile him from their chambers once again, not when she was this far along.

He remembered all to well what she had said to him last time when she was four months into her pregnancy and he did not wish for a repeat of that event, for it had not been a very pleasant experience.

Then again, he supposed that it could have been worse. As Eomer had muttered under his breath "At least it takes you saying something."

Apparently Natasha's mood swung between almost eerily calm and something akin to a raging volcano.

It was three days later in the early hours of the morning that I went into the labor of childbirth (the midwife and three healers had told Legolas that under no circumstances was he to enter the room until it was over.) the birth was long and four hours into the labor I started to understand how my mother had felt when she had given birth to Natasha and I three months earlier then had been expected.

After what seemed like forever (but was really five hours later.) I finally gave birth to a healthy set of fraternal twins a son and a daughter, and heard the sound of someone being restrained outside in the hallway.

Smiling I called out that whoever was waiting outside could now enter, a few seconds went past before Gimli, Legolas, and my father-in-law came inside.

I really liked the news of Legolas having to be held back from trying to come inside the birth chamber by his father and Gimli and I was glad that both of my children had survived the birth then I fell asleep from extrusion.

Unsurprisingly our newborn children Oropher (named after Legolas's grandfather.) and Sorcha (meaning radiance.) had inherited many of Legolas and my features, Oropher had my gray/green eyes and rather thin face but the rest of our sons features were just like his fathers, while Sorcha had Legolas's deep blue eyes and angelic featured face but the rest of our daughters features were the same as mine.

The christening of Oropher and Sorcha reminded me a bit of when my friends had given me a surprise baby shower a month ago.

Natasha, Eomer, Gimli, my father in law, and all of our friends were gathered inside one of the larger halls and were all dressed in clothes that were obviously reserved for formal occasions when Legolas and I entered holding our children and dressed in formal attire (Legolas was wearing a sliver tunic, brown leggings and the circlet which was only worn when attending to affaires of state, while I was dressed in a light purple flowing gown with a turquoise blue sash both of which I had been given when the fellowship Sophie, Robin, and I were in Lothlorien. And the crown that was only worn in public.) The crown that I was wearing had been a wedding gift that my husband had given me just after our wedding ceremony three years ago.

Flashback

As everyone left the hall to go outside I took off the veil (now that Legolas and I were married I didn't need to wear it anymore, and apparently it was a tradition in middle-earth that the bride had to take off the veil after the ceremony.) and Legolas led me over to the side next to a silver medium seized box, when I opened it I gasped, inside was a silver headband-like crown with three blue diamonds shaped like the leafs of autumn scattered in the middle, lifting the crown out of the box Legolas placed it on my head just in front of where my dark auburn hair was twisted into a headband.

Then we went outside to join in the celebrations, the crown on my head symbolizing that I was now the Crown Princess/future Queen of Mirkwood, and many Elves from Mirkwood were most likely to hate me forever because of it.

End Flashback

After the christening ceremony we left to announce our children's birth to the colony and although many of the Elves were happy, there were still a lot of them who didn't think I was fit to be their princess and so they cried insults which were mostly drowned by the cheers of the Elves in the colony who were friends with Legolas and I.

The Elves who were against me would always see me as nothing, but knowing that my husband and I had married out of pure love (and had now started a family of our own.) I really could not care less.

A/N; to all the people who liked this story about High-School girls meeting the Fellowship of the ring.

This is the final chapter of High-School girls and Fellowships, but I will start a squeal if I can get Nathalia's/Frost Queens permission.

Thanks for all the reviews.
