The next day, it had been decided that a picnic was the best way to spend the day. Everybody had agreed. But first there was something that need to be spoken about.

Thranduil and Eloria left their chambers and made their way to their son's room. They opened the door to find Legolas lay on the floor drawing. Papers were strewn about the room, some were on his desk, some on the bed, some under it, various drawings were stuck to the door with small pins, and the rest lay about him.

He lay there, oblivious to his parents watchful eyes. His unbound hair framed his face as he bent down, his lips set in a concentrated line. The sleeves of his red tunic had been rolled up and ink marks marred his skin.

"Good morning little Leaf", Eloria made herself known, startling the little elf.

"Nothing", Legolas answered, quickly shuffling all of his papers up and putting them in a draw.

"Legolas, we have something to tell you" Eloria said as she made her way over to the bed, her husband following behind her. She sat down and patted the space in front of her, motioning for Legolas to join them.

"You already know, we know that. And we are very sorry for keeping it from you little leaf, but we did not wish for you to be upset"

Legolas looked down at the bed, his small fingers tracing the patterns on the bed sheets, ignoring his mother.

"Leaf, you are to have a baby sister by next winter".

Legolas' head jerked up.

"A sister!", he exclaimed.

Eloria nodded, a small and hopeful smile on her lips.

"Does that please you little leaf?"

Legolas nodded eagerly, " I did not want a baby brother yet, I want to do evy'thing first"

Thranduil, furrowed his brow, "What is the difference leaf, if you have a baby sister?"

Legolas turned himself round to face his Adar,

"Well then I have to big a proper big brother, and I have to be nice and I can show her evy'thing and go riding with her and I can protect her like Ro said, and I can be proper big brother".

Eloria and Thranduil shared a look, amused and proud smiles on their faces.

He'll make a good big brother, although they would have to keep the twins around for a little longer, the effect that it had on Legolas was astounding. He was a completely different elfling.

He had spent the day before yesterday with Elrond and Celeborn. They had taking him riding for the day while Galadriel and Eloria watched over Arwen, to the delight of them both. Thranduil, Glorfindel and the twins had gone off, as usual to do…whatever it was they did.

Legolas had come back raving about all the tales he had been told and how Elrond had taught him how to stand up on a horse while ridding, which Eloria was not happy about. But if Elrond hadn't of done it, Thranduil would have.

"Are you ready to go?" Thranduil asked as he swept his son up in a tight hug.

"Who coming?"

"Everybody, including Ro"

This piece of news seemed to make Legolas a little happier.

"Come on the Adar" he said as he squirmed, trying to get down.

The two parent watched as their elfling gathered up a few thing in a small bag and ran out of the room at top speed. This would no doubt be an eventful day.
