COMPLETE (NOW COMPLETELY REVISED)This is my attempt to tackle the 100 Drabble Challenge given by NirCele. I will place warnings only if needed and they will contain most of the LotR characters and characters from the Silmarillion. Enjoy Rated K-T.

A/N Thank you to ThoseGreyMalfoyEyes for allowing me to use this idea for my prompt. Rated K plus -T for "the Talk."

This is dedicated to ShadowTravel who asked me to do a drabble on the sons of Fëanor

This is slightly AU as I have Elrond and Elros at about six in this drabble. I thought it would fit better

#42 Anatomy

Maglor was sitting finishing tuning his lyre when Elrond followed by his twin brother Elros came up to him. "Maglor," Elrond asked his tiny hands tugging slightly on his robes.

"What is it Elrond," Maglor asked without looking up. Whatever it was they wanted, he knew it could not be good.

"We were wondering, where do babies come from?" Elrond asked ever so innocently.

Caught off guard by his foster son's question, Maglor almost dropped his lyre and choked. "What…was…that," he stuttered.

"Elros and I were wondering where babies came from," Elrond repeated not sure as to why Maglor was turning red in the face.

"Why not ask Maedhros, I am sure he would love to answer your questions," Maglor said gently, quickly guiding his foster sons towards the door.

Elros stopped and looked up at his foster father. "We did ask him, and he told us to go ask you, that he had to go somewhere. He was quite in a hurry, and his face went all red as yours did."

Maglor cursed to himself. I am going to make him pay for this dearly. Motioning for the twins to sit next to him, Maglor tried to think of something simple they would believe. "Okay, well let us see. Uh, yes, babies. Well um, when an ellon and an elleth love each other and want a baby, they uh, they wish on a star very hard for Eru to grant them a child. Then after a while, a child is given to them, and the nana carries the baby until they are ready to be born." He could only hope they bought this and looked at them as they tried to take all this information in.

After a few minutes, Elrond and Elros shrugged. "Oh, okay, thank you Maglor," and they both ran off to play leaving a very embarrassed but relieved Maglor behind to think of a way to make his older brother pay for this.
