As Time Goes By

Chapter 11

"I want to go to Lothlorien, I want to meet my father," Elrodai said calmly. Elrohir blinked a few times, staring at the book he had been reading before looking up at his son. "I have a right to. Aragorn, no he's called Estel now is safe and happy here, it will no matter if I - if we go to Lothlorien for a couple of days and find him." Elrohir sighed.

"I doubt Rúmil even remembers me," he said sadly, not hearing the gasp outside the door.

"You never said if you told him about me. Does he know?" Elrodai asked.

"No he doesn't know about you, I never had the courage to tell him," Elrohir sighed. "If you really wish to see him you can but...I don't know how he'll receive you. My greatest fear of you going is that he will not want to accept you."

"I would understand. I just want to meet him Ada," Elrodai said sincerely.

"Alright, I will inform Ada that we leave for Lothlorien tomorrow...but I will not tell him the truth why, he'd be angry if he found out who you're father is," Elrohir said rising slowly.

"Alright I'll go pack for us."

Elrodai gazed at the tall trees for the first time wonderingly, a smile on his face. Elrohir hoped he would still be smiling later when Rúmil found out about him, it would all depend on how the Galadrin would react.

"Halt! Who dares enter the woods of Lothlorien?" a commanding voice asked. Elves seemed to appear out of the trees themselves with bows pointed at the two on horseback.

"Elrohir of Rivendell and Gondor," Elrohir spoke loudly as he stopped his horse.

"Elrohir?" an elf jumped down from a tree in front of them. "By the Valar it is you!"

"Haldir my friend," Elrohir easily dismounted his horse and pulled the blonde elf into a brotherly hug. The bows were lowered and Elrodai visibly relaxed, taking his hand off his sword hilt where it had automatically gone when the elves had appeared.

"But who is this?" the one called Haldir asked, looking up at Elrodai.

"My son, Elrodai," Elrohir said quietly.

"You have a son?" Haldir asked in shock studying Elrodai who met his eyes bravely. "Aye Valar..." Haldir knew those eyes. Elrohir looked at the ground nervously. "Something you've kept from us? Ah well we shall escort you to the city."

"Thank you Haldir."

"Who's that?" Elrodai asked his father as they started moving again.

"Rúmil's eldest brother Haldir, my friend."

"And he guessed?"

"Yes, your eyes are almost identical to Rúmil's," Elrohir smiled. "There is no way one of his brothers couldn't realise." Elrodai grinned shyly and looked down. They soon reached the main city and once again Elrodai's eyes were wide with wonder.

"Are you going to tell Rúmil or shall I?" Haldir asked Elrohir as the two dismounted.

"I think it's best if I do. Do you know where I'll find him?" Elrohir asked, smiling at the elf who took their horses from them to care for them.

"I can send him to you, no trouble. You can just wait here in the gardens," Haldir smiled at both of the dark haired elves. Elrohir nodded his thanks and turned to his son who looked very nervous indeed.

"It'll be fine," Elrohir whispered to him once Haldir had left. 'I hope.' Elrodai looked up from the ground as he heard light footsteps walking up to them. "Rúmil..."

"Hello Elrohir," the silver haired elf said quietly, smiling shyly. "It's been a long time."

"Yes it has, um, this is my...my son Elrodai," Elrohir said quietly, gesturing to Elrodai who was staring at his father. He could see why Elrohir had been attracted to him, his other Ada was a very handsome man.

"Your son?" Rúmil asked shocked. Then he met Elrodai's eyes, "Aye Valar, Elrohir is he...is he mi..." Rúmil could barely speak. Elrohir nodded, looking down.

"He's yours, I never had the courage to tell you and after Ada threw me out and I fled to Gondor, well I didn't think you'd want to know and anyway it would have affected your life and..."

"My son...I have a son," Rúmil gasped. He took a step towards Elrodai, a hand reaching for him. "I have a son!" He pulled Elrodai into his arms and held him tightly, Elrodai hugging him back just as tightly, pressing his face into his Ada's neck and inhaling his scent for the first time.

"Ada…" he breathed. Elrohir smiled sadly and watched them.

"He wanted to meet you. I understand this is a shock but we shall only stay as long as is convenient…" he began to murmur but the look Rúmil gave him stopped him.

"You would leave again? Take my son away from me?" he asked, releasing Elrodai who looked back and forth between his parents.

"I do not want to burden you. You have your position as march warden to think about…"

"You think I'd care about my job more than my son?"

"You used to." Rúmil stared at him, "That's why I left remember? My father didn't approve of you and I was getting in the way of your responsibilities, having a child would have…"

"Made me the happiest elf in the world. Valar Elrohir I thought you'd grown tired of me you left so quickly!" Elrohir looked shocked.

"But I thought…"

"It seems we both thought wrong." Elrodai smiled at them.

"So what do we do now?"

"May I suggest something?" Elrodai asked quietly and both his parents looked at him, "Kiss and make-up." The suggestion was teasing and brought a smile to both their faces. "Or we could get something to eat and I could get to know my other Ada?"

"That sounds like a good suggestion," Rúmil said, putting an arm around Elrodai's shoulders. "We can eat in my talan with my brothers Haldir and Orophin. Now how old are you?"

"Old enough." Rúmil chuckled slightly, what a wonderful boy…no man.

Elrohir felt such pain in his chest, right about where his heart was. Rúmil was still as kind and sexy as he had always been, and now he was getting on so well with his son. By the Valar Elrohir found himself loving Rúmil even more than he had last time.

"Are you alright?" a gentle voice asked, making him jump slightly as Rúmil sat next to him.

"Yes, I'm fine," Elrohir said quietly.

"No your not. What is it?" Rúmil asked. Elrohir smiled sadly, Rúmil was always good at reading him in the past and it seemed as if he had not lost his touch.

"I…wish I'd told you about him," Elrohir whispered quietly. "Maybe…maybe it would have turned out alright if we'd tried staying together."

"It was you who left Elrohir, not me. I would have supported you, I would have married you."

"You would?" Elrohir asked shocked. Rúmil reached a hand up and gently traced Elrohir's chin with one soft finger, causing dormant feelings to awaken ten fold in Elrohir.

"I would still do all that."

"I…I…" Elrohir stuttered pathetically. He couldn't think of anything other than that soft touch and the memories of the nights they spent together. "I can't think straight…" Rúmil smiled and leaned forwards, pressing his lips softly against Elrohirs.

"Be mine tonight?" he asked against the sweet lips.

"Yes," Elrohir breathed longingly. "Please…"

1 Month Later,

Oh no, this couldn't be happening. Was the Valar really that cruel? He recognized the signs…oh why did he have to be pregnant again? Tears trickled down his cheeks as he walked sadly around Lothlorien. Elrodai was happier than he'd been in a long while here, with is father. Maybe he'd stay when Elrohir left…

"What's wrong?" Haldir asked worriedly.

"Nothing," Elrohir wiped his cheeks. "I'm just…I don't know what to do…"

"About what?" Haldir asked.

"Rúmil and…well…" he rested his hand over his stomach.

"Your…?"

"Yes. He says he still loves me. That's what I don't know what to do about. Can I burden him with a child, two if you count Elrodai?"

"Rúmil loves Elrodai and visa versa," Haldir told him simply. "He'd have married you, I think he still would."

"I know he would, he told me…but I can't stay here. I must protect Aragorn. I couldn't take him away from his friends and family, not to mention his job," Elrohir was far too thoughtful about other people sometimes. "I couldn't be responsible for that."

"You don't get it do you? He'd willingly give all that up to be with you!"

"But why?"

"Because I love you." Elrohir spun around shocked to find Rúmil watching him. The blonde walked calmly forwards, nodding to his brother, coming to a halt in front of Elrohir. "I love you Elrohir, I have never loved anyone after you left. I would deem it an honor to return to Rivendell with you and my son." Elrohir stared at him, tears forming in his eyes. Could he? Yes, Elrohir suddenly realized, he could.

"Rúmil…" the tears fell as he flung himself at Rúmil. "I'm sorry…"

"Will you marry me?"

"Yes. Yes I will."

A/N There we go, 2 chapters to go. Elrohir's finally getting married!
