"Are you ready for this, Meleth?" He softly asked her, his hand stroking her flat belly, feeling the soft yet reassuring presence of his child. He could almost think when she would be back and they could start again to build a future for the three of them. The three of them instead of four, it still brought tears to his eyes. With effort he broke back a sob, this was not the time for that sort of thought, he would deal with his little Elfling, his wife already said goodbye to their sweet child.
"Nay, I am not." She told him, feeling herself relax to his touch. A faint feeling rose in her chest, of feeling choked back too long and begging for release. Soon she buried her face in his shoulder and let herself be held.
Legolas held Nienna, she was crying into his shoulder. "Meleth, come on, sweetheart, don't cry, it will not be forever, we will walk together once more and build a life together, sail to the West." His voice cracked, making promises he could not keep was too hard.
"Iston. (I know.)" She signed, pushing away from him. "For all that I am doing for them, they cannot let our child stay with us. It is not fair, Legolas, not fair, I am fighting for them and they will not give me my happiness." Her voice clouded over, becoming more forceful, her powers fed by her anger.
"I know." He only answered before he kissed her and said with a smile. "Do as the legends tell you, Nienna and give them hell. Show them what the new Queen of the Elves can do."
Nienna nodded and turned to face her father, whom she knew was standing there. Elrohir looked at his daughter with pride, she felt Legolas hand on her shoulder before he said. "I will leave you two." He then turned and left.
"Ada, I wish to say I am sorry. I should have realized that it was just as hard for you as for me. Please accept my apology." She bowed her head; it shot up when Elrohir said the following words. "I don't accept it."
He smiled gently when he saw her look and answered. "There is nothing to forgive, I should have knew what was happening. I nearly faded when Tarien died, I should have known that you and Legolas shared the same connection. It is I who will apologize."
"I accept it. Pray for me Atar, pray for me and my children." She answered, kissing him lightly on the cheek, the time for apology ending and the time to leave had come upon them. He nodded and bowed his head before he answered. "Good luck, my queen."
She walked away, stopping briefly at every person she knew and saying goodbye in her own way. Elladan smiled at her and then gave her a dagger, telling her to let her senses guide her. Last but not least she stopped at the Prince of Eryn Lasgalen.
Looking deep into her eyes, Legolas answered the unspoken question. "I will not leave, Meleth." Nienna shook her head and answered. "Promise me, that you will continue living if I pass. Take care of the little one, Legolas, do not give up hope. We will see her again."
"I cannot make that promise, My Lady, I wish it did not have to be this way. Come back to me, Nienna, come back to me with our child. Be it darkness or light that you bring, I do not care but come back to me." He answered instead, his tone urgent.
"Send word to your father and tell him what to expect and deal with her. Let her die in peace, Legolas, let her die knowing her parents love her." Nienna answered, her eyes staring into his. He nodded then remembered she could not see it and answered. "Aye, I will try." His voice choked by tears for only reasons the two of them could understand.
Nienna smiled and brought her lips to his for a kiss. Her tongue ravished in his mouth, a passion that made him wish they had an hour more. When she broke the kiss, she left him panting for breath.
"I love you, do never forget that, my queen." He answered her before claiming her lips again and letting his hand linger on her belly. She let him have his moment before she pushed away and answered. "I love you to, my Lord." Before she walked away and mounted the horse that was made ready for her. She brought her hood up from the cloak he had worn during the Quest, a gift from him.
Then she rode as soon as the signal was given, not looking back for she would be sure to stay behind, wishing with all her heart that she had an extra day with her family but knowing it would not be.
Legolas watched her leave and send his heart with her. Not knowing if he would ever see her or his unborn child, but now he had to deal with his other child, the one meant to die. They knew what their counterpart was doing was hard but how hard, they had no idea.
Hope you liked it. Please review and send some ideas.
