--Magdalena's POV—
Once I knew that Elf was gone, I slowly started to relax. Glorfindel walked in front of me, placing both hands on my shoulder.
"(What is going on Magdalena? What has Vinia done to you?)"
I tried to hide all the fear from my face and voice. "(What do you mean?)"
Glorfindel narrowed his eyes at me. "(Magdalena, if that Elf has threatened you in some way, I need to know NOW.)"
If you tell anyone, I will kill that husband of yours.
That Elf's words echoed in my mind.
"(No one is threatening me, Glorfindel, do not worry so. I just felt a terrible feeling, as if something bad was to happen, that is all.)"
I smiled as sweetly and convincing as I could. I moved from his hands and continued walking, Glorfindel right behind me. I have a feeling that the Balrog slayer is not going to let me out of sight from now on.

I sat in front of the harbor with a couple of soldiers standing guard behind me somewhere and Link playing with a toy Elladan gave him in front of me. With the book in my hands, open, I stared at the words before be blankly, my mind wondering to my husband. Where was he at the moment? Is he safe? Is he alone or is he with his brother and friends?
Sighing, I close the book and set it aside. Placing my hands on my swelling stomach I smile softly. I can't believe how much my life has changed. From living in terror and abuse to married, happy, and about to give birth to… My smile fades as I just realized that I don't know how many children I am about to give birth to.
But I do know that I am to give birth to more than once child. And now that I think about it, none of my moms, or dads, side of the family ever had twins or triplets.
"(Faerdhinen?)"
I looked up to see my father-in-law with a concern look on his face.
"(Is there something wrong?)" Elrond asked.
I needed, looking down at my stomach. I felt Elrond sit next to him.
"I am afraid to give birth to however many children I'm giving birth to." I said in common, not wanting anyone else to hear my fears.
"All women have some kind of difficulty when giving birth. But you do not have to worry for you are in the presence of Elves."
"I know this, but I am worry to giving birth to more than one child." I looked up at Elrond. "You see, even with the technology we had in my world, it was still dangerous to give birth to more than one child. And I am scared to find out what might happen."
Elrond hugged me as I hold back the tears of fear. Oh and how afraid I am to lose my life or that of my children.

--Three weeks later, Elrohir's POV—
My left dagger slashed across an Orc's chest as the other was thrust into another's black heart. How did these foul creatures come to such great numbers is a mystery to all of us. My right dagger cut off a head, the other clashing with the foul weapon. Could they have come to destroy Imladris like Magdalena's and my father's vision? But if so, more would have come not just three hundred.
As I killed another Orc, I looked up and looked around. That was the last of the foul creature. Some of the soldiers have scratches but no serious wounds.
"Let us stack up these corps and burn them." I ordered, cleaning my daggers off of black blood.
It took us almost two hours to stack those foul creatures and burn them. I was sitting upon a tree branch, leaning back on the tree trunk. Why did I leave my wife and child? I should be at Magdalena's side. But I could not have these foul creatures invade my home. Our home. My family comes first and I have to protect them with all that I have. But I would have still liked to be by my wife's side, especially in her state.
And with someone attempting to kill my wife and child… I shook my head; I hate to be out here patrolling. But I cannot do a thing about it. It's my duty to Imladris and to those I love.
I look up past the trees to the darkening sky. Partly clouds cover the beautiful stars but I do not take heed to them. My mind only wonders to the health of my wife. I suddenly could feel the branch I was sitting on move slightly up and down. I looked straight to see my twin kneeling, smiling sadly at me.
"It has only been three weeks brother. You will be home to your wife in no time."
I sighed. "Yes, brother, I know. But I cannot help but worry. I mean, someone has tried to kill my wife and child. How am I able to relax? I am not able to protect her while out here."
My brother smiled sadly. "Her foster father and brother are keeping a close eye on her. Along with Glorfindel and father. They will not let anything happen to Magdalena. And you are protecting her, by keeping these foul Orcs from invading our home." Elladan reassured me, putting a hand on my shoulder and squeezing it.
"Rest a while, I will keep watch tonight."
I nodded, as I was really tired and did not want to argue. My eyes started to glaze over and I begun to dream of my wife and child, safe and alive.
A/N: Sorry, I have been working almost everyday since I got out of summer school and whenever I had time off I would either sleep or take my grandma to therapy as she can't drive because she has a fractured leg and arm. And I know this was short but it was all that I was able to write down. Once again, sorry for the late update. I hope you guys liked this chapter and please review!
