That night heavy rain hit Greenwood, lightning struck and lightning penetrated the room.

Verena's screams could be heard throughout the palace, Thranduil accompanied her by her side. He shouldn't have been allowed to enter the room, but he insisted and nothing could stop the king.

Verena screamed in pain, Thranduil was by her side calming her, while holding her hand, he occasionally wiped the sweat from Verena's forehead

"This hurts..... This really hurts!" Verena growled

"Can you do it quickly?!" Thranduil asked the healer, panicked

Reina and a healer checked under Verena's skirt

"I have seen the head" the healer said "my queen, push as hard as you can!"

Verena nodded

"Push!" The healer said

Verena screamed, she pushed with all her might

"Push!"

Verena pushed again, she gripped Thranduil's hand tightly "I can't take it anymore, it hurts!" She is screaming

Thranduil hugged her tightly "you can do it, you can do it, you are a strong girl...." He whispered to Verena

"It's alright, my lady, just a little more! Push one more time"

Verena mustered her strength, she pushed as hard as she could with everything she had left, she screamed. And what was heard next was a baby's cry. V
erena fell limp on the bed, she closed her eyes.

"Verena? Verena?!" Thranduil called out in panic

The healer swiftly took a small bottle and climbed onto the bed. He made Verena inhale it and after a few seconds, Verena woke up

"Where is my son!" Verena asked frantically, her breath coming in gasps

"He is safe, my love" Thranduil said

"It's a prince, my lord, my lady" the healer said

"Give it to me" Verena requested

The healer gave the baby to Verena.

Verena looked at her baby's face and she smiled "he is beautiful"

"He is perfect..." Thranduil said

"He has your eyes"

"But his face is yours" Thranduil said
Verena kissed the little baby "what shall we name him?" Verena asked

"May I?" Thranduil asks

Verena hand him to Thranduil

Thranduil took the baby in his arms and cradled him gently "my son, Legolas...."

"Legolas?"

"Hmn... Legolas, which means green leaf. The little greenleaf for our kingdom" Thranduil then kissed Verena's forehead "thank you for giving me all this miracle, Verena"

Verena smiled, she then leaned her head on Thranduil's chest
