Chapter 15

Enough is enough

Sky smiled as Legolas' arms tightened around her. The sunlight was filtering through the window. They were asleep as the sun rose over the mountains and graced the valley between the Misty Mountains and Mirkwood. Legolas and Sky, along with their daughter Andúnë, were visiting Beorn and Serena. They were sleeping in Sky's old room. Legolas could remember the nights before they were married where he would slip in, curve his body around hers and sleep with her. Now they were married there was no more sneaking. Legolas had taken full advantage of the fact that all the other rooms in this wing were empty. Everyone else had taken to sleeping in the other wing for safety just in case. There had been only one spare room so Andúnë was over there. Sky's eyes flickered open. At first she looked at her sleeping husband, then around the room. Everything was as it should be. She could remember days where she had woken up only to be taken by Suiadan to his lair. But those days were far-gone memories and now she had Legolas to protect and love her. "Sky, come back to bed," mumbled Legolas.

"If I come back to you, we will never get up," said Sky.

"Exactly," he replied, pulling her back down from her sitting position so she was on top of him. He gently kissed her lips as softly as he had done the first time he had kissed her. She immediately stopped resisting him and melted into his embrace. He groaned as her hips rolled against him. He gently licked her lips, seeking entry to her mouth. She opened her lips and felt his tongue plunge in. He gently turned them over so Sky was beneath him and settled between her legs. He gently slid himself into her. Sky pulled away and moaned. Even after four years of marriage, he still drove her wild with desire. Legolas pulled out, and then plunged back into her, causing Sky to moan again. Sky heard him begin to growl like an animal as he increased his pace. The hand holding her right hip left and was pressed against the headboard to give Legolas some balance. His lips were still claiming Sky's until she tore them away and whispered to him. "Harder," she whispered. Legolas increased the force behind his thrusts until he felt himself release his precious seed. Suddenly breathless, he placed his face against Sky's neck, breathing in her scent. Sky panted as she lay beneath her worn-out husband. She felt invigorated, ready to start the day; Legolas was going to need some rest, however. He rested his head on her chest. Sky gently stroked his hair and cradled him in one arm. "I love you," whispered Legolas.

"What did you say, Legolas?" asked Sky. Legolas raised his head so he came face to face with Sky. "I said I love you," he said, "And I do, very much. You gave me a new purpose, at first I had defending my people, then the Fellowship and now I have you and our beautiful daughter. I still can't believe we have her." Sky smiled.

"Legolas, how would you feel about having another one?" she asked.

"Another child?" he said, "I would give anything to have another like Andúnë."

"I want to have another one as well," said Sky, "Maybe we should start soon…"

"Why wait? Let's start now," joked Legolas bending down to kiss her. The door opened and Legolas looked up. "Oh, I am so sorry," said Serena, "I thought you were up." She shut the door quickly, a red blush going across her cheeks at seeing her sister and brother-in-law sweaty, naked and about to have sex, again. She heard Legolas groan and mutter something in elvish. Then Sky said, "Legolas! She's my sister! Don't call her that again!"

There was some kafuffle in the room and then Sky's face appeared around the door. "I am so sorry," said Serena, "I heard you two talking and thought you were up…"

"It's alright Serena, Legolas just isn't used to people walking in on us," said sky, "He'll be grumpy for the rest of the day but he'll be fine tomorrow. Was there something you wanted?"

"Erm, father has got breakfast ready, and Andúnë is asking after you," said Serena.

"We'll be along in a minute," said Sky.

"One minute or ten?" asked Serena, "Go on, tell me, is he good between the sheets?"

Sky laughed at her sister's attitude towards physical relationships. Sky looked behind the door in time to see Legolas pulling his trousers up (A/N: Lucky little…I won't say it!). She looked back at her sister and said, "You have no idea." Serena laughed and left.

"Talking about me?" said Legolas as he kissed Sky's neck.

"How did you know?" asked Sky as she closed the door and turned to face him.

"I'm the only thing you and Serena ever talk about," he said. He kissed Sky again. He lifted her up and pinned her up against the wall. Sky pulled away. "Not now," she said, "I'm too hungry. Besides if we don't put in an appearance soon, Andúnë's going to show up. I don't want to explain to a three-year-old where babies come from." Legolas smiled.

The hall was crowded as Aragorn was visiting as well with Arwen and Eldarion. It seemed that Legolas' idea of Eldarion and Andúnë getting married was a long shot at best. The two children did nothing but squabble and fight. Legolas managed to pull Andúnë off Eldarion after she had tackled him to the ground. Andúnë seemed to have Serena's ability to hold her own in a fight. Andúnë screamed and fought to get to Eldarion, seemingly desperate to let him know who was boss. She even bit her father's hand. All that succeeded in was having her taken into the kitchen by Beorn. A little punishment he had used on Sky and her sisters when they were young. According to Sky, what happened was pretty much a staring contest, with her father being the victor. She said her father had this overwhelming ability to stare anyone down. When Andúnë came out, she was almost in tears and very solemnly apologized to Eldarion, who just kicked her in the shins and started the whole fight all over again. Sky and Arwen had long since given up trying to separate the two. All they knew was that fighting each other wore them out and they slept as soon as their little heads touched their pillows. Sky sat down next to Legolas. She pushed her porridge around her bowl with her spoon. Her appetite had disappeared of late, though she didn't know why. She felt Legolas' hand take hold of hers and squeeze it. She smiled at him and almost laughed when she saw a bit of food on his chin. She grabbed a cloth and wiped it off. She whispered into his ear, "Honestly it's like having two little children." He laughed and kissed her cheek. "Please tell me you aren't talking about what I walked in on this morning," said Serena, "Once again, I'm sorry, next time I will knock."

"Serena, I told you…" started Sky but she was cut off by a Beorning running in and yelling. "Orcs! Orcs! Approaching from the west!" Andúnë ran to her mother at the sound of the word 'orc'. Sky held her close as Beorn, Aragorn, Legolas and the other men quickly got up and retrieved their weapons. She saw Arwen had snatched up Eldarion and disappeared with him. A sudden thought hit Sky as she was left alone with Andúnë. What if it was Suiadan? Andúnë couldn't remember him; he hadn't attacked since she had been born. Sky stood up, carrying her sobbing daughter. She was about to head for her room when she thought: no! That's the first place he'll go. She instead turned and headed for Andúnë's room in the other wing. She ran into the little girl's room and set her down. She shut the door and slid the girl's little bed across so no one could get in. Stupid considering that it didn't matter with Suiadan but it made Andúnë feel safe. Sky snatched her daughter up again and watched the door. An old feeling of dread came over her. She backed away from it and straight into someone's chest. She spun around. It was Suiadan! "Hello Sky," he said, "It's been a while." Sky held Andúnë even more tightly and said, "Stay away from me."

"No," said Suiadan, "I'm going to stay. I'm going to make sure that half-breed child of yours dies." Andúnë began to cry.

"Don't listen to him, Andúnë," said Sky, "He tells naught but lies."

"Do I?" said Suiadan, "You were mine! And you went off with that elf! That child you hold in your arms should have been mine! It should be my child! My flesh and blood! But no, you went off with that elf and look what you are now! His little whore!"

"He's my husband!" shouted Sky, "He's my lover and my friend. What I have with Legolas, love, kindness…you'll never have that. You had it with Star but you blew it with your attitude towards Sauron! I was never yours! I wasn't anyone's until Legolas came into my life." Suiadan directed his attention to Andúnë.

"Do you know what your father is?" he asked.

"My Ada is an elf, a warrior and a prince," said Andúnë, "He loves me and Nana."

"Your father is a coward and a thief," said Suiadan, "He stole your mother from me. You should be my daughter but you're not because of that pathetic elf you call Ada."

"Leave her alone, Suiadan!" said Sky, "Just leave Andúnë out of this! She wasn't even born when you last tried to take me!"

"Sky!" yelled Legolas. The door began to nudge open as Legolas put all his strength into opening it. Suiadan looked like he was about to disappear and kill Legolas. So Sky almost dropped Andúnë and threw herself at Suiadan. Suiadan was caught off guard and he hit the floor. He tried to fight back but was unprepared for this new Sky. She knew how to fight now. She had had Legolas teach her just in case Suiadan ever returned. Andúnë backed into a corner, frightened by seeing her mother fight. The door flew open as both Legolas and Aragorn flew at it. Both were rather surprised to see Sky holding her own in a fight against Suiadan. She was distracted for a brief moment by Legolas and Aragorn coming in. That was all the time Suiadan needed. He roughly kissed Sky, making her feel sick and disappeared. Legolas ran over and helped Sky to stand up while Aragorn lifted up the crying Andúnë. "Are you alright?" asked Legolas. Sky was quiet for a moment. "Yes," she said, "But I've decided something."

"What is it?" asked Legolas.

"Take Andúnë back to Mirkwood," said Sky, "But I'm going to stay here. If I don't go to Mirkwood, Suiadan won't go. It's the safest place for Andúnë right now. Just take her and don't ask any more questions."

"But Nana, why aren't you coming?" asked Andúnë as her mother fastened her little cloak. "I told you, I have to stay here and make sure that bad man doesn't come again," said Sky.

"Can't Ada do that?" asked Andúnë.

"No, he can't," said Sky, "One day when you're older, I'll explain all this to you. Now you be a good girl for Ada and hopefully, I'll be able to come home soon."

"Alright Nana, I promise to be good," said Andúnë. Sky smiled and kissed her daughter on the cheek. She carried her daughter out to where Legolas was waiting. Aragorn had already left earlier that day with Arwen and Eldarion. Sky handed Andúnë over to Legolas. "Are you sure about this?" he asked.

"I'm sure," said Sky. Legolas nodded and kissed Sky.

"Try to come home soon," he whispered.

"My home is here and it always will be," said Sky, "I have to defend it, just like your and Andúnë's home is Mirkwood and you have to defend that. As soon as Suiadan is gone, I'll come back. When I know my home is safe, then Mirkwood will be my home." Legolas kissed her again. It was a long, lingering kiss, as he had no idea when he'd next see his beloved wife. At least he got to take home a little reminder of her: Andúnë. A sense of fear came over him as he rode away. He turned his head and saw Sky waving in the distance. She had made it sound like everything was going to be fine but deep down Legolas knew. He knew that this was the last time he'd see her alive.
