Cowgirls, a very long and hard ride!

Chrissy ripped off the covers and flung open the door, ran threw the halls and outside in the pouring rain. She ran hard and opened the doors to where the healing room was located. Franticly, she looked all around to see that he was not there and over heard some elves that were nearby saying they were getting ready to leave to Mirkwood soon.
All of the guards were talking about a great war that was taking place in Mirkwood, and it echoed in her mind. She could not take it any more and ran through the doors crying.
She kept running as the rain fell down on her skin and the thunder crashed above the trees. Her world was falling apart, the dreams she once thought were peaceful were now nightmares and Orlando was spinning all around her mind. She was going mad with out his touch and in the heat of it all she yelled out his name.
Chrissy screamed, “ORLANDO…ITS NOT OVER!!” as her heart pounded and the rain fell upon her body.
Then, she was not watching were she was running as she slipped into grass. Rain splashed on to her face as she gazed up into the gray sky. She was so confused and distraught about the events that have happened in the past few days.
She could not move and all she could do was just lay on the ground while the drops of rain fell upon her body. Chrissy felt as if she was falling from grace and felt as if she could lay there to die.
Orlando heard the piercing scream as he ran out into the storm in search of Lady Chrissy. He ran fast into the cold rain that fell and in the distance he saw a body lay on the ground. He hurried over to see that it was Lady Chrissy and bent down next to her on the ground.
He took hold of her cold hand, “Let me help you up.”
Chrissy gazed up at him franticly, “I’ve made such a mistake…” Tears streamed down her face.
Orlando gave her such a puzzling look, “Let us talk about it inside. For you cannot stay out in this kind of weather! You will catch your death!”
Chrissy took his hand and knew that being out here was not the smartest thing in the world. She wanted to tell him what was burning in her heart.
Gazing at him, “I can’t do this anymore…I burn for you…I can’t get you out of mind…Tell me it’s not over…” as she trembled in fear.
Sensing the fear, he gazed back into her eyes, “It was NEVER over!”
Orlando longed to hear those words from her and he claimed her lips, with a crushing kiss. In the heat of it all, he picked up her frame and backed her up against a tree that was nearby.
Chrissy gazed upon him when she told him what was in her heart and to her surprise he kissed her lips. She wrapped her legs around his waist when he picked her up and her back hit against a tree for support.
The two stood in the rain for what seemed like eternity when lightening crashed in the back ground. Orlando broke from the kiss as he stared into her blue-green eyes.
His eyes wondered her body to see the gown that she was wearing was sticking to her skin. It had become transparent when the rain soaked through it and you could see the out-ling of her breasts. They were full and erected with the cool night as it rained. He cupped them as he gently pushed them upward.
Orlando’s thoughts, “The way she burns for me…I burn for her…by the Valar her breasts stare me in the face…so full and…they are mine to claim…I love this maiden…”
Chrissy observed his lustful eyes while they roamed her body as her night gown was soaked. She let him gaze upon her body as she felt not ashamed but knew that it was for his eyes only. She watched as he claimed what was his as he rubbed her breasts that were obviously noticeable.
Chrissy’s thoughts, “I see the way he stares at my breasts…I do not care…it is for his viewing only…take me up stairs and make love to me, my prince…I love you…”
Then, he picked her up, carried her inside as she requested by her lust full eyes. Orlando knew what was in her heart by reading into her eyes.
On the way in, Chrissy looked into his eyes and claimed his lips as he carried her up there stairs.
Dripping wet as the came into the palace, Lord Elrond was in the study when he saw the two come inside. They were all over each other as Orlando guided them up to there room.
Lord Elrond smiled at the couple as he knew that they had a bright future together. He walked back into his study and went back to finish the book he was reading.
They did not even make it to the room when there clothing began to be removed. Orlando shoved the door open and swung Chrissy around into the darkness.
Finally the bed caught them both as Orlando lost his footing and the two tumbled down softly. Chrissy gazed upon her wonderful Prince.
Fear filled her eyes, “I couldn’t breathe for a moment because…I had an awful dream about you…and it scared me to think that I could loose you…” as Chrissy spoke.
He hushed her lips, “Shh my luv, I will never leave you…even in death.”
That was the most beautiful thing that she had ever heard. She smiled upon him for being so sweet.
Then she thought, “I want to dance with him…slowly.”
Chrissy stood up, “Do you hear that beautiful music?”
Orlando laughed, “No, but if you say you hear it then I shall hear it too.”
Holding out her hand, “Dance with me…” She asked as his hand slide into her hand.
Orlando flashed one of those ‘drop to your knee’s smiles’ and he extended his hand out and placed it in her hand.
To her surprise, Orlando scooped her up on to her feet and held onto her tightly as the two danced softly together in the darkness naked.
Her voice was so full of love, “I love you….” as she buried her face into his chest.
Orlando held back a tear that almost fell from his eye as he smiled at what she said.
His voice was crackled as he replied, “And I love you, Chrissy…”
Chrissy was utterly happy for the first time in her life and felt that she could go any where with this Elf.
Then she thought about something he said just a moment ago, “He didn’t call me ‘Lady’….Chrissy…I bet he is getting comfortable with me.”
Orlando gently pulled her back, “I have to tell you something.”
Chrissy searched his eyes, “I know…you’re leaving with the Elven guards in the morning.”
Replying he said, “Thus is true, I am leaving at first light. My father’s kingdom is being attack and I agreed to help aid. I, Legolas, and the party of Elven soldiers are coming with us.” Sadness lingered in his voice.
A tear fell from her eye, “Promise me one thing before you leave?”
Orlando thought, “What can she possible ask of me that I would not just give to her?”
Orlando answered, “You know I would give you what ever you wished,” Then he sensed a changed, “Why are you trembling?” as she searched her eyes.
Seriousness washed over her face, “I need for you to come back to me, if not to me…” She got lost in his eyes, “for us,” as she gazed down upon her slightly swollen stomach.
Orlando noticed another person in that sentence and then he saw her look down on her stomach.
Orlando’s thoughts, “I should have known. The way she fainted at last night’s dinner and how her emotions were not like her at all… I am to be a father…what a gift to have….”
Orlando just stared at her for a moment as his thoughts eluded him about what she just told him. He could not hold back these tears of joy.
Happiness rained, “What is this news? I am to be a father?” He asked as emotions rained in his words.
Chrissy noticed the way he was lost in his thoughts and how he was processing what she just told him. Then she saw tears falling from his eyes and became overjoyed.
She wiped the tears away, “Yes, you are going to be a father and strangely, I will be a mother.” She smirked.
Searching her eyes, “I do not find it strange. I believe you will be a magnificent mother.” He added when he twirled her around the room.
Orlando just took her in his arms and gazed into her eyes.
Love filled his eyes, “This news has made me very happy…you make me happy!” He stated with pure delight.
Orlando gazed into her eyes and then looked down at the ring that he had given her a few weeks ago.
He picked up her hand, “Remember when I gave you this ring?” as he pointed to it.
Chrissy smiled, “Yes I remember! Actually I went into one of those embarrassing mental lapses. I was quite ashamed for acting like a silly girl.”
Orlando replied, “You are not a silly girl,” as he smirked, “You are smart and beautiful woman.”
Chrissy rolled the ring around, “What if this was our wedding ring?” as she searched his eyes.
Orlando stared for a moment, “If a symbol is what you wish, then I can have a ring especially made for you?” as he looked back into her eyes.
Chrissy answered, “Nah, I want to forever look at this ring and remember how much we went through…the risks we took…the fights we had…most important…,” She glanced down to look at her belly and then back up to search his eyes, “Our life we created.”
Orlando smiled as he touched her stomach, “You are right my luv. Why change something that is already perfect, “He took the ring off her finger and requested, “Close your eyes.”
Chrissy smiled and did as he asked, “All right,” as she closed her eyes.
Orlando took the ring and slipped it on her finger as he whispered, “I think I have waited long enough, let enough time go by, to know just what I need in my life,” He noticed her eyes opened, “Then I look at you right now and my heart is telling me why, that you are the only one for me and tonight. If you let me ask you this, as the Valar is my witness, Will you marry me?” as he got down on bended knee.
Tears poured from her eyes as she slowly opened them, “That was the most beautiful thing that I’ve ever heard….You know…I will marry you,” she reached down and pulled her prince up as she gazed into his eyes.
Then, he claimed her lips with much passion as he gently pushed her against the wall. He felt her legs once again wrap around his waist as they kissed.
She felt the coolness of the impact of the wall and began kissing him with an inferno that blazed inside of her body. They ended up on the bed make love to one another and with every touch that was laid upon there bodies was a life long imprint on there souls.
Orlando was on top of her feeling every movement that he stroked inside of her body. He wanted so badly to bind himself to her but was not sure if this was the right time. To his surprise, she whispered into ear something unexpected.
Chrissy knew that in her heart, she wanted to make this night extra special. While, Orlando was kissing her neck, his ear was near by so she softly spoke.
“Bind thy self to me before you leave.”
Orlando stopped kissing her neck and glance up at those very words. From the first moment they met, he had known she was special to him and he had hoped that she felt the same way. He could not believe that there thoughts were so in tune with there feelings.
“If this is what you wish?”
Chrissy did not have to think twice about the answer that she was going to give him. It all made sense now….he was her soul mate and she found him.
“Yes, I want this with all my heart.”
Orlando smiled and then claimed her lips once more. He found himself bearing into her eyes as he stroked in and out of her body. He had wanted nothing more than to cross this line with her and now the moment was here.
There souls seemed to come out from there bodies and began dancing with each other in the air. Then something felt different and special as if there unborn was swimming between there hearts.
Chrissy could not contain the love that she felt and it overflowed as tears streamed down her face. She could not believe that this kind of love existed.
Orlando had tears running down his face as he called out her name several times. His heart was spilling forth with so much love for this maiden and his unborn child that he could not contain himself as his seed spilled inside of her already impregnated womb.
As they lay there in bed, Chrissy wanted to give Orlando something, “I have something for you…my father’s ring,” as she yanked the change off her neck and place the ring on Orlando’s finger.
Orlando protested for a moment, “I cannot take this…It twas your father’s ring and…”
Chrissy interrupted him, “He would want you to have it…I promise…please wear it and remember that I gave it to you.”
Orlando smiled, “If it means that much to you, then I will wear it.”
The two kissed and made love for hours before it was time for Orlando to leave and protect Mirkwood. They both came out of the tranquility of it all and first days light appeared. He held on to Chrissy and whispered in ear that it was time.
Chrissy’s heart grew heavy when those words rang in her ear. She wanted to ask him to stay and not go.
Tears fell, “Don’t go! I need you! I can not go through this by myself.” She pleaded.
After seeing her tears fall he wished that he had not agreed to go with Legolas and the search party. However, he knew that he had made an oath to King Thranduil, his uncle, which took him in as a foster son. Love would have to wait and she would have to understand.
Orlando stated with a heavy heart, “I want to be here with you more than anything, do not think that I shall leave you alone to raise our child by yourself. Please understand I made a promise to protect Mirkwood at all cost and I have to honor that oath,” as he wiped the tears away that fell.
Sadness was in her tone, “I know I forgot how everything is different here, in Middle Earth.” She said as she got herself together.
He felt her sadness in his heart and began to hold her one last time before he had to get up. He hushed her cries with kisses and the words I love you.
He felt terrible, “When things are safe back in Mirkwood, I will send for you.” Orlando stated with sincerity.
Chrissy smiled, “You better…because this baby can not be with out a father…”
Orlando placed his hand over her womb, “I swear to you now, just as you carry my child…..I will promise to come back to you.” He stated.
Chrissy gazed into his eyes as she felt him reach up and touch her face so softly. It felt like heaven as his touch made her feel special.
The two finally got up, put there clothing on and headed out of the room. It was getting later then expected as the two walked holding each other close.
Legolas and Jenny were cuddling in the bed when they realized it was first light. With heavy hearts, the two found the strength to get out of the bed and get dressed.
They headed out holding on to one another not wanting let go. Legolas wanted her know what was on his heart and he began to speak.
“Jenny, you are my world….my heart and soul….Once its safe…I want you to come back with me and be my companion….You will be my princess…then when my father gets ready to leave…..you will be my queen….I love you, Jenny Greenleaf…..” Legolas searched her eyes as he leaned in to kiss her.
As Legolas was speaking, Jenny could not believe she could feel his every emotion and when he spoke about her being his wife, she could feel her heart over flow with love. She knew that he was telling the true as he leaned and kissed her so passionately.
Then, the two walked closely as they walked to the stables and on the way there, they saw a familiar couple in the distance kissing.
“I knew Orlando and Chrissy would be making up. It brings tears to my eyes just knowing that they are back together.” Jenny stated.
Legolas commented, “My brother could never stay away from her and he would have ran through fire to save there love," Then he glaced up at Jenny, "Just as I would have to keep ours…”
