Thranduil was yet to return to the palace from his trek around Mirkwood. The Peredhel family was gathered in Elrohir's chambers to support each other in their time of need – praying to the Valar for Elladan to pull through – while Galadriel and Celeborn communed with nature.
To get her mind off things, Arwen had informed Legolas the Hobbits would be in attendance for her wedding as well as Gimli and Èomer.
"Okay, Lady Arwen what is your real reason for inviting the king of Rohan? And don't tell me it's because he's our friend," Legolas questioned as he rubbed his stomach taking pressure off at feeling his children squirm.
"Legolas, what other reason would I have for inviting such an important mortal."
"If it involves your Adar forget it. I know Elrond he would not want to bind himself to a mortal. Nor will he take too kindly to his own daughter plotting in such a way. Think about it, Arwen. Elrond has lost one love all ready from pain and suffering and the Valar only know how many lovers he's lost over the ages before your Naneth. Do not have him loose one to old age and death. He would die from grief surely as you will when Aragorn has gone."
"How can you say such a thing about your friend and my Father?" Arwen gasped scandalized by what the prince said.
"Because it is true. I don't like the thought of losing Aragorn either, but the reality of it is he will die and you will too. He may have been blessed to live a longer life but he's not immortal and you have forsaken yours to be with him. All I am asking is do not subject your Adar to the same fate as you," Legolas chastised hotly but Arwen needed the wake-up call.
The Evenstar sighed, bowing her head. "I just want what is best for him. I hate seeing him alone," Arwen gently whispered holding back her tears but failing miserably.
Legolas rolled out of bed to stand by her, pulling her into a hug. She cried on his shoulder – despair finally fallen upon her.
"Do not concern yourself with the lives of the First born. I want what is best for my Ada as well and I would do anything to see him happy again even if I to fight Mandos himself to do it, I will," Legolas declared not realizing the truth of his words.
oOoOoOo
The sound of someone being hit echoed in the plain white halls.
"See I told you," a haromous voice teased knowingly.
"Aye, you did my love. Now, we must prepare him," a gentle tenor answered.
"What about Legolas and Haldir?" the first voice asked worriedly.
"Their loss will not be too great. I've made sure that Elrond says nothing. I will retrieve the child before anything goes awry. A life for a life," the second voice replied.
"And Elrond? The Peredhel has given so much and lost more than any one, what will be his reward for the sacrifices he has made?"
"Paint a portrait for me, my love. I want to see the Peredhel's future."
A blank tapestry filled with vivid colors, swirling until figures start taking shape. The colors sharply came into view. A tall and majestic being stood with long raven hair clearly depicting Elrond in his formal robes. Another figure stood next to the Lord of Imladris with a halo of flaxen hair with strong arms encircled around Elrond's narrow waist.
Flowers of crimson, emerald, and gold danced around them, lazily floating to the ground.
"Elrond will be please," the second voice replied admiring his wife's skillful brush strokes as he mimics the pose bestowing a kiss on her temple.
"Everything is how it should be. Now, we wait for the prince's children to be born."
oOo TBC oOo
A/N: am I reading this right? Someone wants Legolas and Haldir's children? Can any one guess who would do such a thing? Want to find out? Well, stay tuned for the next chapter.

"Time is of the essence pen-neth. What shall it be?"
Tears streamed down Legolas' face.
One.
He and Haldir would have only one – not two. So many things were running through his mind: the extra bed would have to be removed from the nursery as well as the extra furnishings and clothes. He choked on a sob as it was becoming reality.
"I…I accept."
