--Elrohir's POV—

Quadruples.

I'm carrying quadruples.

But giving birth to quadruple is always dangerous for any female

I groaned, holding my head. I sat up on my bed, my wife putting hand on my arm.

"I had the most absurd dream, (my love). You were about to give birth to four eflings."

I looked at my wife, who seemed to be nervous yet sadden at the same time.

"Hon… I am." She told me softly.

I could feel my eyes growing wide. How could she be having quadruples? This is not possible… is it? I mean, I am happy to be having children. Two would have been enough. But four?

"I felt the same way for a while." Magdalena's voice brought me back. "But no matter, they are till our children." She looked at me with hopeful eyes. "Right?"

I just than realized how I must've look to her. She must think I may not want anything to do with her or our children anymore. I placed my hand upon her right cheek, smiling softly.

"Yes, (my love), they are still our children." She seemed to have now relaxed. "And I am sorry to have acted the way I did. It just surprised me, is all. Quadruples?" I asked just to be sure.

My wife smiled. "Yes, and it is your fault, or so your father tells me."

This took me by surprise. My father blaming me?

"How is this my fault?"

"You are a twin, Elrohir."

I turned to see my grandmother standing in the doorway to our room.

"And Magdalena's mother was a twin, I believe."

"She was?" My wife said with a smile on her lips. "MY father never told me much about her."

"Yes, she was. And this gives you the opportunity to have more than a twin… unfortunately."

I just suddenly realized that I just woken up, but for how long have I been asleep?

"A day." My grandmother told me.

"The news of having quadruples really knocked you out." Magdalena told me with amusement evident in her voice.

A whole day I was out and no one bothered to wake me? And my start of the day, I believe, has just gotten worse. My twin entered the room, looking rather pale. Why was he back so soon?

"(Quickly, we must go to father's study! Something has gone terribly wrong!)"

I looked to my wife and kissed her. "I will be back, it seems that I am needed."

My wife nodded, as I quickly got out of bed and ran behind my brother, my grandmother jogging beside me. What could have happened that seemed to go so wrong?

--Normal POV—

As soon as Elladan, Elrohir, and Galadriel entered Elrond's study, they immediately started to panic as they saw the grieve expressions upon everyone's face, Legolas combined with anger. Hinluin was seated before Elrond, tired, pale, and hungry looking. He seemed as though someone has tried to kill him. His clothing was torn, worn out, and blood was spelt on him in few areas.

"What has happened?" Elrohir asked, looking at anyone to give him an answer.

"This cannot be!" Legolas said in a low, deadly voice. "You two have never gotten along! You are making this up!"

"Calm yourself son!" Thranduil thundered.

"Someone tell me what has happened?" Elrohir yelled in frustration and worried.

"A terrible shadow has covered this Adar." Galadriel said, looking at Hinluin carefully.

"Let Hinluin tell the rest of the story." Elrond said, looking warningly at the King of Mirkwood.

Elrond turned to the Mirkwood soldier and nod once for him to continue from where he left off.

"My group were just returning from our shit when I felt something terribly wrong. I told my men to continue on as I jumped into the trees, looking far and wide into the forest. I than heard noises from the east side of the palace, soon followed by screams of our kin. I quickly ran upon the trees to see what has happened," Hinluin turned to his friend and king in sympathy. "Uruk-hai's have somehow broken down the Eastern wall. I saw our kin falling upon the floor as if asleep, and than I saw Queen Dinenwen talking to a horrid dark creature which we have spotted only months ago." Legolas was shaking his head in anger, his breath almost coming in gasps. "She has been the one creating the creatures."

"You're wrong!" Legolas yelled. "You have to be!" He cried desperately.

"No, Legolas," Galadriel's soft and soothing voice made everyone's attention to the Lady of Light, who stared sternly into Hinluin's eyes. "He is telling the truth."

Legolas looked over to his friend, tears of disbelief and anger ready to fall.

"But I fear something else is at work." Galadriel went on, barely tilting her head.

Before another word could be said, the horns of war have begun to echo throughout the palace.

"It seems that our dear Dinenwen has come to visit." Galadriel said, her hands together and shaking barely visible of what may go wrong on this terrible day.

§

The sound of war trumpets could be heard echoing throughout Imladris. Something that told all the Elves still resided on this was a day they were never going to forget. Soldiers, husbands, sons, son-in-laws, brother-in-laws, boyfriends all ran to their homes to gathered their weapons and prepare for battle. They gave kisses to those they love dearly, a promise that said that they will be back as soon as they can… and alive. They just hoped that those keeping guard outside of Imladris are well and safe, and holding back the enemy as much as they can.

Magdalena was standing near the balcony doors, wondering what the trumpets were for. But something in her heart told her that something was to go terrible wrong that day. The door was suddenly burst opened, Magdalena turning her head sharply in fear, making it pop. But the girl sighed in relief as it was only Elrohir. He looked from the bed in panic to where she stood, sighing in relief. He closed the door and walked over towards his wife.

"What do you think you are doing, moving around with no one here to help you."

Elrohir carefully picked up Magdalena easily. Magdalena raised an eyebrow, as she put her arms around her husband's neck.

"At least I know you're strong enough to carry me to the healing rooms when it is time to give birth." She said with a teasing tone.

Elrohir set her down and quickly made his way over towards his wardrobe to put on his armory. As he did so, he looked to the wall next to it to look at the weapons hanging upon his wall.

"Elrohir, what is happening? What are the trumpets for?" Magdalena asked worriedly as she watch Elrohir bring down several weapons down.

"It seems that the Uruk-hai's were too strong for our guards at the borders and now their filthy feet are upon our scared ground."

Once he strapped on his weapons, Elrohir quickly walked over to his wife and gave her a long and passionate kiss. He slowly backed away, looking into Magdalena's eyes with much love and care towards her.

"I want you to stay here in your room, please. I don't want anything happening to you." Elrohir told her softly.

Magdalena brought Elrohir's head down to her, kissing him once more. When she backed away slightly, she stared up at him with fear and love, their lips and faces just inches away from each other.

"Please be careful and promise to come back to me." She whispered to him.

"I promise." Elrohir said, pecking her lips and walking towards the door. "Take care of her Link."

Link barked, sitting in front of the bed, facing the door just as Elrohir closed and locked the door behind.

--Magdalena's POV—

After an hour or so, I couldn't stand it anymore. I couldn't just sit on this bed and do nothing! I swung my legs around to the edge and as careful as I could, got up. I put one hand to my large stomach, groaning.

"I ain't never going to have kids again." I mumbled, walking over to Elrohir's weapons up on the wall.

I looked at them, trying to figure out which one I could use and wasn't too far up in the wall. I walked closer, and went on my tiptoes, reaching for a sword that Elrohir gave me but placed it upon the wall when we found out I was pregnant. I also took a dagger, just in case. Looking down at my pajamas that contained of Elrohir's shirt and a pair of breeches, I decided to change. I opened his wardrobe and took out a dark green tunic and black breeches.

As quickly as I could, I put them on and my pair of boots, that seemed to be too small for some reason. I hate being pregnant. Strapping the sword at my waist, I sheathed the dagger and placed it in between the belt and the breeches at my back where I can reach. Looking down at Link, I knew he could tell that I wasn't going to stay in the room. So he stood and walked over towards the balcony, clawing it with his paw.

I smiled at my wolf and walked over to the doors and opened it. Link went out first to scout around the area and barked once to tell me it was safe. So I walked into the fairly warm air and started to follow Link, who made sure that it was safe enough for me to go any further. As I kept a watchful eye around my surrounding, my mind was full of worry and confusion.

How could have this happened? Who could have entered the most protected and scared ground and fill it with their filth and evil? Than I remembered the dream I had so long ago.

"It was a vision." I whispered to myself. "It was a vision to warn me. I saw inside Dinenwen's plan! She was supposed to attack during my seventh month of pregnancy but she didn't! That's why Lord Elrond has been having guards day and night at the borders!"

I shook my head. Sometimes I was so stupid. I put a hand to my abdominal. I guess I get visions.

"No, my dear," I heard Lady Galadriel's voice. "Dinenwen was the one who wanted to kill you and your children through the dream. But your children somehow know of the danger and woke you up just in time."

I looked down when one of my children kicked. "So they saved us from that witch?" I asked the Lady. I than cleared my throat. "No offense."

"Do not worry, my dear."

I than looked up to Link when he started growling and barking madly at the entrance to the gardens, the connection with Galadriel ended. I didn't know where to hide or where to go. I wasn't fast enough! I now wished that I listened to Elrohir and stayed put in our room! Suddenly, the creatures from over a year ago came into my view, making me shudder at the memory of them touching me when Deachir were still alive.

Link started to fight against them, but even so, he was thrown to the side as if nothing once the numbers became too great. I took hold of my sword and unsheathed it, afraid of what might happen. Suddenly, one of their archers came forward, everyone parting for him. I felt my eyes widen with fear. There was no where to run and I couldn't out run him. As soon as I saw that creature let the arrow go, I screamed and put my arms in front of me.

FFAMasjuerade2005: LOL, surprised ya, huh? Did you think that she was eating too much? I was going to put that down, that she was so big because she ate too much, but I was like 'naw, where's the fun in that?' So I made a twist and had her having quadruples! Thanks for reviewing!

Frodo01228: Trust me, it's exactly what Elrohir did. LOL, thanks for reviewing!
