20JenWinchester12: Don't Cry too much!

Chapter 21

Iasbelin yawned at the table in the dining room of the Halls of Thranduil. She had been forced to come to a diplomatic dinner with some Elves from Lindon. She picked at her food with her fork and looked vacantly at the Elf who was speaking of economics on the podium. She hated politics and had no idea why she was here other than the fact that she was courting the prince. She caught Legolas' eye from across the table and raised a discreet eyebrow at him. He smirked and turned his attention back to his food. Iasbelin stuck her foot out from under her and found Legolas' leg and gave him a soft kick in the shin. He looked up and eyed her. She giggled silently and smiled at him. She was just trying to make this entertaining for herself. The Elf at the podium wrapped up his speech and bowed to the rest of the Elves in the room. They all clapped respectfully for him and returned to their dinner. Iasbelin gave up on entertaining herself and asked the Elf next to her if she could be accused to go get some air. The Elf nodded to her and she rose from her chair slowly as to not bring too much attention to herself. Thranduil caught her eye and looked skeptically at her. She averted her eyes quickly and bowed respectfully to the King. He nodded and returned to his conversation. Iasbelin looked at Legolas who was in a light conversation with the Elf next to him. They locked eyes and she flicked her head in a gesture to follow her. Legolas nodded and Iasbelin retreated from the room.

Iasbelin made it half way to her chamber before she felt and hand lightly brushing her's.

"Not many Elves can sneak up on me." She addressed Legolas.

"I am one of a kind my love." Legolas smirked as he pushed Iasbelin up against the wall and put his arms on either side of her head. They looked at each other for a minute before Legolas closed the distance between them and crushed his lips to her's. Iasbelin responded quickly and tried to take command from Legolas but he simply pushed her up against the wall harder and moved his body closer to her. Iasbelin gasped in response to Legolas' actions. Legolas moved his lips from her mouth the her jaw line and kissed her entire face. His lips moved to her neck and went over every part of skin that her dress exposed. Iasbelin opened her eyes and pushed Legolas away from her. Legolas looked back in confusion.

"Your father." She whispered in his ear. He nodded and took her hand as they ran down the long hallway. Thranduil was left in their wake looking for his son. The pair laughed as they successful avoided the King. Legolas pulled Iasbelin into a small office at the end of the long hall and closed the door behind him. Iasbelin laughed and fit her mouth to his and sighed in content.

Iasbelin awoke and ran her fingers through her hair. That was the fourth time this week that she had dreamed of a fond memory of her and Legolas. Her mind was holding onto the memories that made her fall in love with her husband. She looked over to a sleeping Osric by her side. It had been seventeen long days since she arrived here at Minas Tirith. She had received news of the Ring's destruction a couple of days ago. She knew that Aragorn rode back to the city and would return today with what was left of his army. Eagle's had arrived with two Hobbits in tow the day after the Ring was destroyed and Iasbelin assumed that one was the Ring bearer to whom all Middle Earth owed all of their allegiance to.

Osric woke up, yawned and curled up closer to Iasbelin.

"We gonna see Legolas today?" Osric asked. He had taken a liking to Faramir and the captain had told him that today was the day when the men returned from the battle. Iasbelin hadn't the heart to tell him that they may not see him.

"Yes, my dear." She lied smoothly. She hated lying to him but she was also trying to comfort herself. Iasbelin got out of bed and picked up a purple dress from her chair. She quickly put the dress up and styled her hair in a traditional Elven up-do. She fitted her small circlet over her head. She went over to Osric and changed his clothes quickly. She had already heard the chaos outside and assumed that the men were beginning to file into the city. She grabbed Osric and hoisted him up onto her hip and walked out of her small room and made her way to the city gates.

The light was bright and unrelenting. She wasn't sure why she was even going to the gates because she doubted many men were returning anyways. She walked toward the fountain and stood next to Eowyn who was hand-in-hand with Faramir.

"Good morning." Iasbelin greeted. Eowyn turned and smiled at her friend.

"Indeed." Eowyn said.

"How long have they been returning?" Iasbelin asked.

"Not long but the end of the line seems to be coming." Faramir responded.

"Has Legolas returned?" Iasbelin asked hastily. Eowyn looked at her with sad eyes.

"No he has not yet." Eowyn replied. Iasbelin felt her heart sink. "But have faith, my friend." Iasbelin nodded and watch the rest of the men file back into Gondor. They were met with cheers and flowers. From behind the fountain Iasbelin saw Aragorn returning on his horse. Eomer and Gandalf flanked him. Iasbelin moved to her left so that she could get a better view of the King. She began walking quicker because she saw a white horse with two figures behind the King. Eowyn noticed this and held Osric's hand as Iasbelin made her way around the fountain. Iasbelin tried to look over the people to get a better view but she was not tall enough to see over them. She pushed her way threw and arrived at the front of the crowd just as the commanders were dismounting their horses. Aragorn caught a glimpse of her in the crowd and moved behind his horse to grab his friend and bring him forward.

Legolas emerged from behind Aragorn's horse and locked eyes with his wife who stood at the front of the crowd. She had made it safely there and was there waiting for him! Legolas broke into a dead sprint to reach Iasbelin. Iasbelin ran also and the two met in the middle of their distances. Legolas picked his wife up and spun her around in a huge hug before setting her down and crushing his lips to her's. He didn't care how many people were watching he was so happy to have her back in his arms. Iasbelin deepened the kiss and pulled Legolas closer to her. Aragorn smiled at his two friends finally being reunited.

Iasbelin was the first to pull away from Legolas. She blushed at the amount of people who had seen the kiss. Legolas touched her cheek and stroked it with his finger.

"I did not think you would return." Iasbelin said softly.

"Nor did I, but here I stand in front of you, my wife." Legolas soothed. Iasbelin smiled and put her hand inside Legolas' and led him over to where Faramir and Eowyn were standing. Osric pulled away from Eowyn and ran towards Legolas at first sight. He jumped into Legolas' arms and hugged him tightly.

"Hello, Osric." Legolas greeted.

"Legolas! 'Belin said you were coming back today!" He exclaimed.

"And that I did!" Legolas said. He kissed the child on the forehead and leaned into Iasbelin. "Would you like to go with Eowyn for a little bit?"

"Oh yes! Faramir is gonna show me the swords!" Osric yelled. Legolas laughed and handed Osric over to Eowyn. She gladly took him and the three of them went off in the direction of the castle.

"Where would you like to go?" Legolas whispered in his wife's ear.

"I have a room here. Let us go there." Iasbelin responded. Legolas nodded and followed his wife to her room. Once inside her small quarters Iasbelin grabbed his hand and led him to the four post bed which was in the middle of the room. She lied down on the bed and pulled Legolas on top of her.

"Your letter made me cry." She told him as she stroked his face.

"I only meant to tell you how much you meant." Legolas responded as he rubbed her arms. Iasbelin smiled and seized his lips. She pulled his closer to herself by grabbing his tunic. Instead of leaving the tunic where it was Iasbelin decided that it would look better on the floor so she ripped it off and it landed somewhere on the floor. Legolas smiled and began discarding her of her dress.
