23. Celebration

# 17 Celebration

Celebrían lay exhausted. It had been a very challenging event, but well worth the hard work and pain. As she gazed up at her husband with a small smile on her face, she could not help but feel proud, and it showed on her husband's face as well. For in his arms he held two small bundles. Each one had dark patches of raven black hair, and both were holding on to their father's finger with their tiny digits looking up at him with slate colored eyes. Next to him were his closest friends Erestor and Glorfindel who looked on proudly at their lord who could not stop smiling.

"What shall we call them?" Celebrían asked breaking the silence.

Elrond thought for a moment, carefully thinking about the perfect names for the newest additions to the family. "I believe we should call the eldest Elladan and the younger Elrohir."

Celebrían smiled. "I think those are perfect names. Perhaps you should introduce them to the rest of Imladris. I'm sure they are eager to meet the newest lords."

Elrond laughed before getting to his feet. "You should sleep now, my love. In one week when you have rested and are up to it, there will be a great celebration in honor of our sons'."

Nodding, Celebrían closed her eyes as her husband made his way softly to the balcony followed closely by Erestor and Glorfindel to announce the arrival of his sons'. As he opened the doors, he could hear the bustle of his people who were anxiously awaiting the news of what their lord and lady had.

Stepping to the railing, the rest of the Elves saw Elrond and fell silent. "It is with great pleasure to announce the arrival of the newest additions to our family." Elrond started with a huge smile on his face. "Please welcome our twin sons' Elladan and Elrohir." Elrond then turned his twin sons so the rest of Imladris could see the infants.

Upon seeing the tiny bundles, the rest of the valley burst into cheers. "Hail Elladan! Hail Elrohir!"

When they finally quieted down, Elrond continued. "In one week, there will be a grand celebration in honor of my sons. All are welcome to join in."

Later that week the whole of Imladris was bustling with excitement as the young lords were being shown off by two happy and proud parents who were adamant their sons were the most beautiful ellyn in all of Middle-earth.
