Chapter 38

Distraction

Legolas' POV

When I opened my eyes, Jupiter was already up and at the window. I sat up and she looked at me. She was smiling, smiling like I had never seen her before. I stood up and she ran to me. She had finally been with her parents. That missing piece of her heart had finally been fulfilled. When she pulled away she rested her hands on my chest.

"I told you my grandmother would like you."

I laughed.

"I like her, I can see where your fiery personality comes from."

She nodded and then looked outside.

"I want to go see Kilia."

"Then let us go."

She nodded and we dressed for the day.

Jupiter's POV

I knocked on the door and Kili opened it with a smile. He waved us inside and I saw Kilia. She was crying and fussing. Tauriel didn't seem to know what to do.

"Here-"

I walked over and she handed me the baby. I gently rocked her.

Deep in the meadow

Under the willow

A bed of grass

A soft green pillow

Lay down your head

Let your trouble lay

And when again it's morning

They'll wash away.

She slowly stopped crying and I smiled. I handed her back to Tauriel and she looked at her mother.

"My grandmother used to sing for me. It usually works."

She smiled.

"Thank you."

I nodded and smiled at little Kilia.

"You be good for your mommy and daddy. You'll have plenty of time to give them trouble later."

She sort of tilted her head and I just laughed. One day she would understand what we were saying. I stroked her little head and then looked up.

"I'm going home soon. You're all welcome anytime."

Kili hugged me.

"I wish you would stay longer."

"We need to be getting home. We will come back." Legolas said.

They nodded and I smiled at Kilia again.

"We'll be back soon. And I promise I'll never miss one of your birthdays, no matter how far away I am. Until next time Kilia. Aurevoir." I whispered.

She looked at me again. She had one of her mother's eyes and one of her father's.

"You stay out of trouble pretty girl."

She just stared and I chuckled. That was when she smiled. Legolas said goodbye to them all and then we left. My brothers and sister were waiting for us. I smiled and hugged Tindomiel.

"Promise you'll come and visit sometime soon? We're only a few days away."

"I swear we shall visit soon. I want to see the house Legolas had built for the two of you."

She gave me a squeeze and I hugged Manwendil and Atanaclar. When I looked at Vardamir, it was like I was looking at dad a little. I hugged him tightly.

"I saw mom and dad in a dream. You look a lot like dad." I whispered.

He hugged me tighter.

"It makes me happy that you finally were able to see them. We will see you soon."

"I love you guys."

"And we love you. Always."

I pulled back with a nod. Legolas and I mounted our horses and set out for home.

Legolas' POV

Jupiter seemed sad since she had that dream. And I remembered what her grandmother had told me about my mother. When we got home, I took our things inside and she went down to the water. Snowball followed her and I sighed. I decided to give her some time alone, and Snowball usually helped cheer her up. Still I wished there was something I could do.

Jupiter's POV

Snowball was curled up next to me as I stared at my reflection.

"Why me? She wasn't even two months pregnant with me. What's so special about me?"

I stroked Snowball's fur and sighed. I put my legs in the water and then laid back on the grass. Snowball kept brushing his tail across my nose and it made me laugh. I finally sat up and grabbed him. He purred as I hugged him. When he bolted suddenly I was shocked. I heard leaves being crunched and I quickly disappeared into the water. I swam behind the falls and saw several large orcs going towards my home. I only had a few knives on me, but I had to try. I screamed and then went under. I was trying to warn Legolas. There were only three or four of them so they wouldn't be too much trouble. Still I was worried. I came up for breath behind the falls and saw that only two of the orcs had remained. I nodded and then swam around to the back. I'd always been good at holding my breath. I surfaced and then pressed myself against a large rock. I could hear them breathing and I screamed again. I heard them coming closer and once more dove under. I was a fast swimmer so I made it to the other side before they could. I got out and took out two knives. I ran for the house and saw the other two creeping outside.

"It's not nice to be a peeper." I said.

I threw the knives into their necks as they turned. I searched the house but Legolas was not there. Snowball was on top of a bookshelf hissing. I heard fighting outside and ran out. Legolas was down by the water, fighting the orcs I'd left behind. Once they were both dead I let out a breath of relief. I walked forward and he looked at me.

"Are you alright!? I heard you scream."

"It was a distraction. I was trying to keep you from being caught by surprise."

"Well it worked. Why are you all wet?"

I smirked and pushed him back. He fell into the water and I laughed with a smile. He surfaced and looked at me. His face only made me laugh harder. I took off my shirt and jumped in. I pushed my hair out of my face and smiled at him. I motioned for him to come closer and he did so with a smile. Before he could touch me, I went under. I smiled to myself as he tried to catch me. I finally surfaced and he grabbed me. I laughed and kissed him. I felt him unclasp my bra and I tossed it onto the grass. I took off his shirt quickly and my breasts rubbed against his chest. He walked out of the lake and went home. He threw me on the bed and then hovered over me. I smiled at him and had him sit back. I undid his belt buckle and practically tore his pants off. He chuckled and our remaining cloths went to the floor. He smiled and dropped his mouth to mine. He stroked my tongue with his and I moaned. I reached down to unzip his jeans before slipping my hand down to massage him. He pulled back and moaned loudly. I tried to take that opportunity to switch our positions but he was one step ahead. He pinned my legs to bed so I couldn't move. I narrowed my eye playfully and smiled.

"Clever."

He just smiled and started to attack my neck. He only stayed there for a minute before leaning back. He softly trailed his finger down my body and then up my inner thigh. My heart was pounding in anticipation. He had a wicked smile on his face as he stroked me. I threw my head back and cried his name. He gently rubbed my bud and I felt the pleasure building. His finger left me and I scowled at him. I felt him prodding against my entrance and I moved my hips towards him. He chuckled and kissed down my jaw and nibble my earlobe. He counted my piercings with his tongue and then kissed down my neck. Without warning he slammed himself inside me.

"Legolas!"

He stayed very still and I grasped his forearms.

"Tell me when you are ready."

I took a deep breath and nodded.

"I'm ready."

He kissed me and moaned into my mouth and I held onto his arms. I once more attempted to flip him onto his back but it didn't work. He smiled and at me and then started to move faster. I closed my eyes and wrapped my legs around his waist. He went deeper and deeper with each thrust.

"Legolas! Yes!"

He was pounding himself into me by then. He'd never been this vigorous with me before, but I was loving it.

Legolas' POV

She was moaning and panting beneath me. Each noise she made brought me closer to the end. I had never been so passionate before, my mind had never been so free. I could tell she was close so I went faster and harder. She was moaning my name and her nails were digging into my skin.

"LEGOLAS!"

I held her hips to mine as I came.

Jupiter's POV

It was perfect, just like every time. I looked up at him and twirled his soft blond hair with my finger. He fell down beside me I laughed a bit.

"What?"

I shook my head.

"I was thinking something stupid. I'm gonna make dinner."

I kissed him and then got dressed. I was going to send a letter to Galadriel. Something didn't add up.
