Chapter seven
By Clio Leanan Sidhe

Lothlorien was beautiful and Legolas was utterly happy that he they had finally reached it. Lady Galadriel had been waiting for them. He could feel the burden falling of his shoulders as the beautiful Lady of the Woods placed her hand on his shoulder and looked down at the child he was holding safely in his own arms.

"I have spoken with Aragorn, he knows of his children…"

Legolas looked at her and smiled, thanking her without words. He looked down when he heard Rinon giving a small cry and smiled at the small child. "He is hungry..." Legolas whispered softly. He could feel the warmth of his children's small bodies against his own, holding them in the dark green pouch which was wound around his body.

Galadriel beckoned a elf over. "Rumil, would you please bring Legolas to the kitchens." Her voice drifted on the wind, so soft that it was almost lost. But still the other nodded and mentioned for Legolas to come with him.

Legolas followed him in silence, every now and then looking down at Rinon and Indil, just to make sure that the little babies were fine. He smiled at Rumil when the other looked down at the two babies.

"They are both very beautiful." Rumil stated.

The smaller blonde nodded in agreement and looked down at his children. "Thank you." He replied and then frowned. "This journey has been hard on them, they are still so young and born only to know war."

An sigh escaped Rumil's pale lips. "Indeed."

OOO

Glorfindel looked up when he heard a door open. He sat up in his bed and frowned when he saw a glimpse of dark hair. His heart beated faster and a smile found a way to his lips as he saw his love enter the room. "Erestor..."

Erestor smiled, closing the door behind him. He looked around only to find that none of the beds, except for one, were being used. The dark haired elf quickly made his way over to Glorfindel and took the blonde's hands in his own. He pressed a kiss to Glorfindel's forehead and smiled. "I missed you Glorfindel." Erestor whispered softly and leaned back.

Glorfindel returned Erestor's smile and pulled the other one down so that he was sitting on Glorfindel's bed. He brushed strands of dark hair out of Erestor's pale face and brushed his palm over the smaller ones cheek.

"I am glad to see that you are fine, and safe." Erestor spoke again, trying not to show the relief he felt.

Glorfindel only smiled.

OOO

When the night had fallen all Rivendell elves had found a restless sleep, the long journey had left not left the elves in mind. Legolas found himself still awake, looking up at the pale moon which illuminated the woods of Lorien.

He closed his eyes for a mere second, resting his head against the heavy oak tree as he let a sigh escape his pale pink lips. Knowing that he would have to spend his time in Lothlorien until Aragorn returned, seeing his children grow without their father. It scared him...

OOO

"Ada!"

Legolas felt his heart skip a beat and warm as he heard the high-pitched voice of his daughter. He smiled, remembering when he had sat beneath the same oak tree as he was sitting now and wondered how he would spend the time without Aragorn at his side.

The little blonde girl ran towards him and let herself fall into his lap, unintentionally punching the air out of his lithe body. She grinned and wrapped her thin arms around her ada's neck, burying her dirty face in the crook of Legolas' neck.

"You are all dirty." Legolas laughed and pushed his daughter back a little so he could face her properly. When the little girl grinned, showing a row of perfect pearl white teeth he shook his head in amusement. "What happened?" He eventually asked.

The little girl bounced up and down on his legs and played with her ada's blonde strands of hair. "Rinon threw me in the mud, but I did the same to him!" She answered proudly, and turned her head when she heard her brother's voice.

"Ada!" Rinon cried and stopped in front of the two of them. Just as his sister, Indil, Rinon was dirty and his shirt was torn. "Indil pushed me in the mud!"

Indil stuck out her tongue. "You pushed me first!"

Legolas let out a fake dramatic sigh and pushed himself up, pulling Indil with him. He felt her legs wrap around his waist and held her against his side. He could feel Rinon pulling at the hem of his sleeve and looked down to see the brunette look at him with large grey-ish eyes. "Yes Rinon?"

"I only pushed her because she is a girl." Rinon explained.

Indil turned a bright red and balled her small fists. "That's unfair!" She yelled and looked at her father. "Right ada?"

Legolas nodded in agreement. "Yes, you can't push Indil because she is a girl Rinon." He stated and started walking, knowing that the brunette boy was following them.

"But uncle Elrohir said I could." Rinon muttered and brushed some dirt from his face.

Legolas sighed and shook his head. "You cannot listen to everything uncle Elrohir tells you Rinon, you should know that by now." The blonde thought of Elrohir and how many times he had made Rinon do silly and horrible things. Because of Elrohir, Rinon had insulted Haldir and his brothers and as result Legolas had to straighten everything between the brothers and himself.

Rinon shrugged and pouted, his cheek turning red. Of course Rinon knew that he should not listen to his uncle, but that didn't mean he wouldn't, it was far to much fun to do what his uncle told him too do and blame Elrohir for it too.

Indil waved at a couple of elves that they passed and giggled when they returned it with a smile. Then she looked down at her brother and her smile faded slightly. When she looked at her twin-brother. "When will daddy return?"

Legolas felt his stomach fall. "I do not know, love." He replied and pressed a kiss to Indil's temple. "Hopefully soon."

Legolas had often told Rinon and Indil about their father, making sure that they knew what difficult task their father had been given, keeping the ring safe from evil. Of course Legolas did not include everything in the story, knowing that it would scare the little children and make them wonder even more about everything that went on outside of Lothlorien.

Of course Lothlorien was not unfazed by the war, you could notice it in the woods and the Lady spoke of it freely to those who wished to hear. Legolas often found himself asking Lady Galadriel about Aragorn.

"Tell us about daddy, ada." Indil asked softly, letting her head fall to Legolas shoulder.

Legolas was pulled out of thought by his daughter's voice and smiled. He opened his mouth to speak, watching his children who listened carefully, not wanting to miss a bit as their ada spoke about their father.
