Living Life

When Legolas woke up his father and Rumil were talking softly to Haldir. Haldir looked exrtemly worried so Legolas sat up. That was a mistake as the room spun and he moaned softly. At once Haldir was by his side holding him close.

"Ai! You had so worried liramir." Haldir ran his fingers through his mates hair.

"Worried? Why?" Legolas asked confused.

"You have been asleep for 16 hours! Normaly elves do not need so much." Haldir buried his face in Legolas's shining locks.

." ." Legolas mumbled. "Wheres Aragorn?"

"With Eomer. He has grown worse. He has a fever and Aragorn does not know if he will make it." Haldir said sadly.

Legolas's eyes widened at this news and she struggled to stand up. Thranduil came over and forced his son to lay back against Haldir.

"You are not leaving this bed tonight. You may as well get comfortable." he said sternly.

Legolas fumed silently. " I have been abed since the war of the ring! I am sick of being in bed!"

"You still have not recovered from your suicide attempt and the poisioning. Your poor body and now this!" Thranduil ranted.

Haldir looked between the two of them. "Now what?"

Legolas glared at his father and he stayed silent.

"it is not my place to tell. Legolas will tell you when he is ready." Thranduil leaned over and kissed Legolas on the cheek softly. "I love you my son. Get well."

Rumil stood and and kissed Legolas on the brow. "Come love let them have some privacy." Rumil murmured as he led Thranduil out of the tent.

Haldir stood and laid Legolas down as he focused on his mate. He wondered what was wrong with him now. Legolas stared at the tent wall and didn't say anything. Sighing Haldir left and went to the healer's tent. Eomer's fever had broken and he was being tended to by a human healer. Haldir grabbed Aragorn and literaly drug him back to their tent. Aragorn knew Legolas had slept alot and he to was worried about the elf. Legolas looked away in shame when Aragorn and Haldir walked in.

"Now tell us. What did your father mean?" Haldir demanded as he sat next to the bed.

Confused Aragorn sat at the foot of the bed and watched them.

Legoalas sighed. "I am fine. Ada tends to be over protective now....since he knows how badly he hurt me before."

"No. He said your poor body and now this. What is now this?" Haldir was relentless.

Aragorn understood the poor body part because Legolas had been going through alot since the war.

Legolas picked at the bedcovers and tried not to cry. "Nay. For then you both shall treat me as even more helpless."

Aragorn held his hand up as Haldir started to retort angrily. "We are sorry we make you feel that way. But we care. Tell us please?"

"I am pregnant."

Utter silence met his words, Haldir and Aragorn stared at him.

(Gondor)

Arwen stood on the balcony outside her rooms. Sighing she wondered when her King and his mates would return. Elrond watched his daughter pleased that she would have a baby. Suddenly he felt another mind brush his gasping he realized it was Haldir. He could feel Haldir's utter shock and disbelief at something. Elrond gleaned that Legolas was.....WHAT????

~*~*~*~*~

Haldir had been sitting there when he reached out with his mind. He wanted to contact Celeborn but instead he found.....Elrond? Elrond was shocked and Haldir realized he had shown the elf lord the news. In return Elrond told him that Arwen was.......WHAT????
Haldir looked at Aragorn.

"Ummmm now this is interesting."

Legolas and Aragorn looked at Haldir.

"What? Are you not happy?" Legolas asked sadly.

Aragorn jumped up and wrapped his arms around Legolas. "We are so please melamin."

Haldir smiled and nodded and he joined them on the bed. "I was trying to contact Celeborn, he has a book on male pregnancys. But I contacted Elrond instead. He says Arwen is also pregnant."

Again there was utter silence and then......

"WHAT????????????????"

TBC.
