Chapter four
By Clio Leanan Sidhe

Aragorn listened to the soft sounds of the forest, keeping his eyes closed and just breathing in the familiar air of the woods. When he heard a voice he slowly opened his eyes and watched the blonde elf that stared at him with mild interest.

"I came to speak with you." Aellian whispered and stepped closer.

Aragorn looked at the elf and watched the blonde sit down next to him and rest his back against the thick tree.

"I missed you..." He whispered and looked at Aragorn, trying to sit closer to the dark haired man. "When I came to Lothlorien Galadriel saw my pain and she send me on a journey, not one like you have on your shoulders now but one to find myself." Aellian told him and smiled softly. "And I found who I truly am, I lost my name of who I was in Rivendell just as I left my past."

Aragorn nodded in understanding.

"But now that I see you once again I remember everything that we shared in the gardens of Elrond's house, the love we felt for each other..." Aellian whispered and bit his lip. "Feeling you this close to me makes me long for Rivendell again."

Aragorn frowned and watched Aellian's hand which was now resting on his knee. He kept his eyes on the pale hand, ready to stop it if it moved in a wrong direction.

"It makes me long for your love." The blonde whispered and pressed his lips against Aragorn's neck, old feeling resurfacing all though they were meant to stay hidden.

Aragorn pushed Aellian away softly and shook his head. "Don't..." He whispered and watched the blonde. He could feel his stomach clench and it made him nervous to be so close to his former lover. "You should know that I am truly happy with Legolas..."

Aellian shrugged and rubbed his fingers over the soft fabric which covered Aragorn's shoulder. "I knew you would be happy with him..." Aellian whispered. "But I saw a future for us in Galadriel's mirror."

Aragorn frowned and closed his eyes for a second, resting his head against the large tree behind him. "A future for us…" He muttered. "If I remember correctly then you were the one who decided it was best if I bonded with Legolas, that you would leave."

Aellian nodded. "Yes, that's true." He said. "And I think I truly made a mistake by giving you up so easily."

Aragorn pushed himself up and looked down at the blonde who had been the love of his life, still had been even when he had bonded with Legolas. "I love Legolas with my soul, I would never do anything to hurt him..."

Aellian frowned but nodded. "I understand, I am sorry for coming to you."

"It's fine." Aragorn muttered and watched Aellian get up.

The elf sighed and passed Aragorn. "If you ever wish to speak with me, I am waiting."

O O O

Legolas sat in silence, looking down at the child in his arms. A smile played on his pale lips as he saw the little baby girl which belonged to himself. It made his stomach clench in a nervous but happy feeling when he remembered that this small girl had lived inside of him and was a part of himself. "Indil..." He whispered softly and brushed a finger against her stomach which was covered by a piece of white fabric with the sign of Rivendell sown upon it with golden thread. Arwen had made it for his daughter and for his son she had made a small blanket from a dark jade colour and silver thread. "I wonder what your father will say when he sees you." He whispered and the little child moved a little in his arms.

"Legolas."

The blonde elf looked up and smiled at Arwen when he saw her standing in the door opening of the library. Legolas often stayed there now because it was one of the quiet places in Rivendell. The only two who were often in the library where Erestor and Arwen. The rest of Rivendell was filled with celebrations for the children. Neither of them could enjoy it very much, to young to understand what their lives meant for the future of not only men but also elves. Especially their son, Rinon. "Yes?"

Arwen walked over to the blonde elf and looked down at the child in his arms. "How are you?" She asked out of habit.

"I am fine." Legolas replied.

Arwen nodded and sat down in a chair nearby. She watched him and took her time before she started speaking. "There is news that the Fellowship has reached Lothlorien."

This made Legolas look up and he watched her with questioning eyes. "Is Aragorn fine?"

"Yes, he is well." Arwen told him and smiled. "Of course, he needs to be or else he cannot meet his children."

Legolas laughed softly and kissed the top of Indil's head. "I wish he could meet them now, they are so young and all ready their father is not around to see them."

"Ah, but their Ada is here, is he not?" Arwen smiled brightly as she spoke of Legolas.

Legolas nodded in agreement. "Yes, that is true."

Both were silent for a while and then they heard Rinon cry softly. Arwen pushed herself up and walked over to the child which was lying in a small bed which had been placed in the library because they were there so often. She picked Rinon up in her arms and kissed the small head. She brushed her hand over his head, smiling as she saw the small dark hairs on the boys head. "I am afraid he will look like his father." Arwen decided and sat back down in her chair.

Legolas looked at her and nodded in agreement. "It seems so." He whispered and looked down at the girl in his arms. The smile which had been playing on his lips faded slightly. Arwen's words made him think of Aragorn. He truly wished that the man he loved could have been around to see that Rinon looked much like him for himself.
