On his way home, Haldir bumped into the twins. He pinched the bridge of his nose closing his silver eyes. 'By the Valar, give me any one but them,' he muttered to himself.

Elladan and Elrohir had been perusing the guardian since the day they had met him but he was all ready bound to Legolas, which he was thankful for.

"Haldir-" Elrohir called out seductively.

"You've been ignoring us," Elladan said locking his arm with the tall Marchwarden.

"I do apologize but my duties have kept me busy," Haldir answered as calmly as possible. Together the twins were sexual dangerous. Alone they were tolerable.

Elrohir latched on to Haldir's other free arm. He leaned into Haldir lowering his voice. "We want to know what is going on between you and the fair Prince?"

Haldir stop to untangle his arms from the brothers. "What makes you two think that something is going on?" He eyed them suspiciously.

Elrohir adjusted his green tunic and smooth his dark hair dark eyes sparkling with mischief. "For one we were there-"

"-when Thranduil wanted to see you," Elladan finished. "And you seemed to have a delicious habit of watching Legolas when you think no one is looking."

"What is it with you two?" As far as Haldir was concerned he didn't trust the pair.

The twins shared a look. "We want see which one of us-"

"-that you will take to your bed."

Haldir shared wide-eyed at their blunt answer. He shouldn't be surprise. The son's of Elrond were notorious to peruse their next sexual conquest with vigor. One or the other would claim the prize or would part-take together.

They were weird like that closer than most siblings. Everyone figured that it was because that they were twins. Haldir was just thankful that Rúmil and Orophin didn't act that way. He didn't know if he could handle that.

"Sorry to disappoint you but I'm spoken for," Haldir simply said climbing up to his talan.

The twins watched him enter then focused on each other. Elrohir started, "Could you tell brother-"

"-that he is hiding something," Elladan finished the sentence somewhat distracted.

"Aye and I bet you that it has to do with Legolas," Elrohir said.

They wandered off in search of the Mirkwood Prince. The brothers walked side by side in silence until Elrohir made another comment. "You know that Legolas looks a lot-"

"Don't my brother," Elladan spat as they headed toward the archery field.

"I'm merely stating that-"

Elladan held up his hand to silence his younger twin. "Aye, he does look like Tandilion, but he is not him and I will not interfere with his and Haldir's relationship."

"You don't know that they are involved," Elrohir said not fazed by his brother's outburst.

"Aye, I do. You see it in their eyes. They are in love and not only that I saw Haldir's wedding ring."

Elrohir stopped. "You mean that they're married? Nay, Thranduil wouldn't allow it. You know how he is."

"I know and I hope for their sake they have a better outcome than I did."

Elrohir saw the sad and hurt look in mirrored blue eyes. He embraced his older brother and kissed him. "I'm sorry that they didn't live but your time for being alone is over. You have mourned them for millennia. The time has come for you to take a mate and let me be at peace with mine."

"Nay, it's better this way," Elladan said dejectedly.

"As long as we share this connection I can never truly be with my mate." The young twin replied.

"I'm sorry brother that I have dragged you into my problems."

"Don't be. It was my choice. However, Ada will not be pleased with you over this decision. You need to provide heirs. Why are you being stubborn?"

"I provided an heir, two in fact, my duty has been fulfilled. You and Arwen can give Ada the grandchildren that I couldn't," Elladan replied. He walked away from his brother trying to keep his tears in check.

The younger twin stared at the retreating figure. "Oh, my brother, what will it take for you love again?"

Elrohir followed his brother thinking. Maybe when they returned to Rivendell that he could ask Erestor or Glorfindel for help. Now as he thought about it where was Glorfindel? He hadn't seen the Balrog slayer since they had arrived. Just as well, he's probably on patrol with the guardians. Elrohir shrugged his shoulders running to catch-up to his twin.

~oOooOo~

Once Haldir entered his talan his senses were assaulted with the most delicious aroma. Also the place was cleaned. Is weapons were not laying about. Clothes no longer littered the main room or the hallway. He went into the kitchen and saw that someone washed and cleaned it.

A king's spread was on the table. He was tempted to grab some food but he wanted know who had came into his home, certainly not his brothers. They were just as messy as him. Some of the maidens often try to gain his favor by doing nice things for him but his heart belongs to one.

As a Marchwarden, Haldir had the largest living quarters. Galadriel and Celeborn made sure that he was comfortable. Even Rúmil and Orophin's talan were not as big, but he figured that it was because he was married.

After checking all three rooms, the library and training room Haldir decided that it was better to thank the Valar and not question someone good intensions. The high Elven royals knew one day that Haldir and his husband would be together and would need that extra space.

Inside the master room he gasped. Flower petals and candles were decorated around the room and on his bed lay his beloved covered with only a white satin sheet his slight frame outline underneath the silky material. Haldir stripe out of his clothes and carefully climbed on the other side of his lover. He marveled at the softness of Legolas' skin.

"You were busy today my love. What are you up to?" Haldir asked placing a kiss behind a delicate ear.

Legolas shivered from the contact. "I-ah-there is someth - oh, that feels - thing impor-portant that I need to tell you."

Haldir wasn't paying attention as he nipped and kissed smooth flesh. Legolas' mind was starting to cloud. He couldn't let this distract him. He turned over placing a hand on Haldir's chest.

"Please Haldir, this is important."

Haldir groaned about not continuing to feast upon the alluring creature in his bed. Legolas tugged on his braid. "Remember that scar you asked me about?" The guardian elf nodded his head all ready not liking how the conversation was starting.

"Well, I wasn't stabbed. Gandalf did it to-"

"I'll kill him for causing you pain. A wizard should know better than to cause harm to an Elf!" the Marchwarden thundered.

Legolas placed both hands on his face. "Nay my love. He did it to save me. You see I was caught unawares and a man attacked me." Legolas' voice sounded different. Tears dripped down his face as he recalled that fateful night. "He-he touched me-" Haldir gather his mate in his arms rocking them.

"He hit me in-in my stomach when wouldn't let him. I left myself unprotected, unknowing." Legolas choked as he cried harder making it difficult for Haldir to understand him. He stilled himself to catch his breath. "I went into labor too early."

"Labor?" Haldir whispered as the meaning slowly sunk in.

"I was pregnant, my love. We were going to have a family like we had always dreamt of."

Haldir's silver-blue orbs burned trying to hold in the tears that were threatening to spill. "What happened to the baby?" he asked.

"I lost them," Legolas' answer was barely audible.

The older Elf stared disbelieving. "Them? You mean twins?"

Legolas nodded. "I was riddled with grief about you that I neglected myself. I didn't know that I was carrying your - our children, not like now."

"Not like now," Haldir repeated. "You mean. . ." he stated rising both his dark brows silver-blue eyes glittering.

"I'm pregnant again," Legolas replied waiting expectantly and he wasn't disappointed.

Haldir kissed his lover pulling him closer to his body. He ran soothing circles over Legolas' tummy whispering words of love in his ear while thinking the entire time that they were going to by parents. He was finally going to a Father.

The guardian put his large callous hand over Legolas stomach. He now felt the small swell that he didn't notice before. Haldir hugged his husband tightly. They stayed wrapped in each other's warmth for some time before succumbing to sleep.

oOo TBC oOo

A/N: Well, it seems that Legolas wasn't going to wait to tell Haldir the good news, but what about Thranduil? He's up to something. Why is he trying to keep Haldir and Legolas apart?

Haldir leaned over to kiss Legolas when there was a forceful knock that the front door.

The guardian through on a fresh pair of leggings and left the room. Haldir opened the door to greet his visitor but was surprised to find. . .
