Chapter 6


Morning came to find Erestor once again running for the privy to empty his stomach. Glorfindel cleaned his hervenn (husband) and after bundling him up in a blanket, sat him in front of the fire and heated the tea that Elrond had sent to their chambers last evening. Carefully lifting Erestor so he could sit him onto his lap Glorfindel brought the cup of tea to Erestor’s lips, “Here, melui nín (my sweet), drink this, but be careful, it is hot.”

Erestor took a small sip of the tea, fearing that it would only want to come up. Once he knew that his stomach was not going to rebel on him, he let Glorfindel press the cup to his lips once again and took a larger sip. After Erestor managed to drink over half of the tea, he settled against Glorfindel’s chest and said, “No more, meleth (love).”

Glorfindel sat the cup onto the end table next to them and wrapped his arms around Erestor. He gently rubbed Erestor’s back and said, “The tea seems to be helping.”

Glorfindel mentally sighed in relief, for their bond was such that they felt each other’s emotions, which was not usually a bad thing, but at times like these, it could be draining on both of them.

Erestor raised his head and cupped Glorfindel’s cheek, “I am sorry, meleth nín (my love).”

Kissing the tears away that started to find their way down Erestor’s cheeks, Glorfindel said, “Melui nín, you have nothing to be sorry for. I am happy that I am experiencing this with you. I would not want you to go through this alone. Besides, I am only feeling it a little, compared to what you are going through.”

Erestor breathed in slow and deep trying to settle his emotions for both their sakes. He gave a small smile to Glorfindel then rested his head once again on his shoulder. “Glor, I do not think I could eat this morning. The tea has settled my stomach but the thought of food right now is revolting. I should really go and check in on Mel. I think work will help me, it will keep me busy so I do not think too much.”

Glorfindel kissed the top of Erestor’s head and said, “Yes, but I will bring you lunch early. Would you like to eat in your study or have a picnic?”

Slowly untangling himself from Glorfindel, Erestor stood and walked over to their wardrobe to find a robe to wear, “A picnic sounds great, I would like to sit in the sun.”

As they both started to dress, Glorfindel said, “Alright, I will stop by the kitchen this morning and prepare our food, then go to the barracks. I will need to tell Daugion that I will not be going on any patrols for a while. Also, we are still training the new batch of recruits.”

When they were dressed, they went to leave their chambers only to be stopped by a hallway filled with cats. Erestor smiled, “Good morning, mellyn nín (my friends).”

Glorfindel did not care that he had many pair of eyes watching him as he pulled Erestor to him to give him a passionate kiss goodbye. He pulled back from Erestor and smiled, “I will see you at lunch, do not forget.”

“How could I forget?” Erestor said, playfully spanking Glorfindel’s behind as he turned to leave.

Glorfindel looked over his shoulder and said, “Oh, I will get you back for that, melui.”

Erestor turned and started down the hall, followed by all the cats, and said, ‘Promises, promises.’

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

‘Elrond.’

Cuddling closer to Haldir, Elrond mumbled, “Hmm?”

‘Elrond, wake up.’

Elrond frowned as he blinked the sleep from his eyes, then looked to Haldir only to find him still asleep. “Hello?” Elrond said as he looked around the chamber. Suddenly he heard laughter tumble through his head.

‘Really Elrond, still abed this late in the morning? Are you not the Lord of your realm?’

‘Galadriel?’

‘Who else would it be, my sleepy Lord. Has my Marchwarden been keeping you up late at night?’

‘Galadriel!’ Elrond exclaimed.

Just then Haldir woke and looked to Elrond, whose face was flushed, “Elrond?”

Elrond looked at Haldir and touched his fingers to his brow.

Sitting up, Haldir scrambled out of bed and headed into the bathing chamber. For some reason, lying naked in bed with Elrond while he spoke to Lady Galadriel just seemed a little too awkward.

Elrond chuckled as he watched Haldir flee the bedchamber. Sitting up in bed, Elrond asked, ‘You have talked with Sídhon?’

‘Yes, and he has agreed to travel to Imladris to help Erestor in his time of need. It also seems that I will lose my grandchildren, for they have expressed their concern for Erestor and Glorfindel. They will be returning to Imladris with Sídhon and Istuion.’

‘When will they depart?’

‘Tomorrow morning, Haldir’s brother, Rúmil, will be leading the escort.’

‘Haldir will be pleased to see his brother.’

‘You and he have not bonded yet.’

Elrond knew that was not a question, ‘I understand why Haldir waits and I do not begrudge his choice.’

‘You keep Haldir with you as long as you want.’

Elrond sighed, ‘Galadriel, I do not own him and I will not order him to stay. His sense of duty is one of the many things that I love about him.’

‘Well, he *is* my Marchwarden and *I* can order him. You tell him that he has a new duty. He is to stay as long as Sídhon and will be in charge of his return escort.’

Elrond thought he heard something in her voice and asked, ‘And how long is Sídhon planning on staying?’

‘Three years.’

Elrond sat there after he felt Galadriel withdraw and a smile slowly lit his face. Jumping out of bed, he walked to the bathing chamber and stopped to lean against the door jam to gaze at his beloved. He became unbearably hard as he watched Haldir cup water over his shoulder and Elrond licked his lips as he watch rivulets of water make their way down Haldir’s chest. “You left the bedchamber in quite a rush, meleth,” Elrond said with a smile.

Haldir looked up and swallowed at the vision Elrond made, standing there in the doorway. He let his eyes roam the length of Elrond’s body then back up to eyes that were filled with such love and desire it nearly stole his breath. He also saw the merriment in those smoky steel-colored eyes, “Get into the bath, Elrond.”

Elrond smiled at the command and slowly walk towards Haldir, never losing eye contact. He would tell Haldir later about his new duty.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Elrond and Haldir finally left his chambers after a very pleasurable bath. Haldir had gone to visit the training yard to check on those who had traveled to Imladris with him and Elrond went to see how Erestor was doing. Elrond came to a halt as he turned the corner and found that there were at least two-dozen cats milling around the hallway outside of Erestor’s study. Frowning Elrond carefully managed to make his way to the study door, “Erestor, do you…” he started to ask but found that there were just as many cats inside the chamber.

Erestor looked up at Elrond who stood in the doorway with a frown upon his face. Smiling, “Good morning, mellon nín.”

“Erestor, what are all these cats doing here?” Elrond asked as he came to a halt in front of Erestor’s desk.

“You look as perplexed as I did, My Lord, when I arrived this morning,” Melpomaen said from his seat at his desk in the corner of the study.

Erestor sat back in his chair, which gave Faron the chance to jump up into his lap. Petting Faron, Erestor said, “They appear to be guarding me or something. Somehow, they know that I am with child. Elrond, have you ever heard of this happening?”

Elrond picked up a bright orange cat that was lounging in the chair in front of Erestor’s desk and sat down, placing the cat in his lap. “I have never heard of anything like this. This is quite fascinating,” Elrond said as he looked down at the cat purring in his lap.

“Well, I find their company comforting. Have you spoken to Galadriel?” Erestor asked.

“Yes and she said that Sídhon has agreed to travel to Imladris and assist you in any way he can. How are you feeling this morning, mellon nín?”

“I was unable to eat anything and got sick once again but the tea helped settle my stomach. Glorfindel and I are going to have an early lunch,” Erestor said and smiled as Faron rubbed his head against Erestor’s hand, wanting attention.

Elrond smiled as he watched Erestor with the cat. It truly seemed to ease Erestor’s spirit with their presence. “Have you decided when you want to announce that you and Glorfindel are expecting?” Elrond asked.

Erestor tensed and Faron felt it and started to lick Erestor’s hand.

‘Melui, are you well, do you need me?’

‘I am fine, meleth. You continue with whatever you were doing?’

‘All right, I will see you in a couple of hours.’

Taking a deep breath Erestor said, “I am not ready, just yet, for others to know.”

Elrond nodded, “That is fine, mellon nín. Whenever you are ready.”

“Oh, what are all these cats doing here?” Lostariel exclaimed as she stood in the doorway to Erestor’s study.

“Elloth dithen (Little flower), what a nice surprise. And my beautiful grandson, how is the most perfect Elfling doing this morn?” Erestor asked as he walked to Lostariel after carefully putting Faron down.

Lostariel smiled as her Ada (Daddy) came and took Mírion from her. She followed him to the settee and sat down besides him. “He is doing just fine and how is my Ada doing this morning?” she asked.

Looking up from his grandson, Erestor leaned over and kissed his elloth’s brow and said, “I am doing better. The cats have taken it upon themselves to keep me company.”

Lostariel looked around at the many cats and shook her head. She then turned back to look at her Ada and smiled as he nibbled on her ión’s (son’s) fingers.

“Oh, these are just yummy fingers, I could eat them all up,” Erestor said as he brought Mírion’s hand to his mouth, which elicited giggles from the little Elfling.

Elrond smiled as he watched Erestor with his grandson, then said, “Mel, why not you and I leave and let them visit for awhile. We could go over those trade agreements with the villagers.”

“Of course, My Lord. Erestor, I will return after lunch,” Mel said as he followed Elrond from the chamber.

Lostariel did not think she could love her Ada any more than she did at that moment, watching him with her ión. “You are such a wonderful Ada, I would not ask for any other. You and Adar (Father) are so important to me and I know you will be just as wonderful with my new brother or sister,” Lostariel said with tears in her eyes.

Tears sprang in Erestor’s eyes and he reached out and brushed his fingertips against his elloth’s cheek, “Glorfindel and I were truly blessed the day that you came into our lives, daughter. You are going to make a wonderful big sister.”

They sat there for almost an hour visiting and fawning over Mírion until he made it known that he was hungry by fussing and sucking on anything he could get his little fingers on, which included his Daerada’s (Granddaddy’s) hair.

Lostariel took Mírion and laughed, “I swear he eats like a horse! He will not let me sleep more than a couple of hours before he is demanding to be fed.”

Erestor joined her laughter, “He eats like his Daeradar (Grandfather) Glorfindel.”

“Ada!” Lostariel giggled.

Erestor stood and walked Lostariel to the door, “How about Adar and I come by and have lunch with you tomorrow, elloth?”

Kissing his cheek, she said, “That sounds great, Ada.”

“Adar and I will bring lunch. You have enough to handle with this little Elfling,” Erestor said as he kissed her goodbye.
