Feelings

The weeks flew by as they kept busy with the re building and the care of Celeborn. Denise and Heidi hid their pregnancies by not going to breakfast. They ate later after everyone had left the kitchens and dining rooms. Their odd behavior was noted by most of the staff and the King. The elves of Mirkwood were wary of the new half elves from a different realm. Rumors going around said that it was odd how two half elves were now married to powerful elves. They were never outright ror hor hostile but it was there in the small gestures and innuendos. Denise held her head high and did not say anything when this happened. But it hurt her deeply that she was not accepted here. Heidi was busy helping her husband recuperate from his injuries and in a few days he would be fully healed. Rumil, Haldir, Thranduil, and Legolas were planning how to keep the defenses up. Denise grabbed her basket as she headed out to the front of the castle. She began to plant flowers along the walkway leading to the front doors. Halfway through she heard shouting and she saw several elves ride up; she saw Lord Elrond in front. Standing she stretched her back as they approached but she was rudely pushed aside by the guards. Biting her lip Denise looked down as she tried not to cry. Why did they hate her?

Elrond's POV
~*~*~*~*~

As I am riding up to the castle I see Denise stands from where she was planting. When she was rudely shoved aside I could see her struggle not to cry. She was now a princess but they treated her like dirt. Dismounting I went to her and pulled her close. Clinging to me criecried. There was something different about her also; her life-force was more there. Much like Celebrian's had been when she had been pregnant. I glared at the Mirkwood elves and they looked down in shame. Elladan and Elrohir dismounted behind me and they demanded to see Legolas or the King. I know they will make a huge fuss over Denise's treatment and I am glad.

"Pen-neth are you pregnant?" I murmur as I hold her.

I can see my question stunned her in her face and behavior. Shifting she looked at the ground and nodded.

"Do not worry I shall not tell anyone." I reassure her as Legolas, Thranduil, Haldir and Rumil apch. ch.

I hear my sons at once informing Legolas and Thranduil about Denise's rude and inexcusable treatment. Legolas is furious as he scolds the guards and servants around. I am pleased at how strongly he feels for Denise. Smiling I lead her inside the castle as Legolas, Thranduil and my sons take care of everything. Denise guides me to Celeborn’s chambers where he is asleep and Heidi patters about the room. I see that her life-force was also more; much like Denise’s. Heidi spies us and comes over curious as to why Denise is crying. Denise leads us to an empty chamber where we all sit.

Back to third Person.
~*~*~*~*~

Heidi and Denise tell Elrond about their pregnancies as he examines them and advises them how to proceed. They agree to tell Legolas and Celeborn on the morrow during a feast to celebrate Elrond’s arrival and Celeborn’s recovery. Laughing the three of them went to Celeborn’s chambers where the twins, Haldir, Rumil and Legolas are talking and waiting.
