Legolas
I sit next to Lyra's bed, waiting for Aragorn to come help her. I stroke her face and stomach. Just then Aragorn appears, he sits on the other side of Lyra and begins to look her over.
"Took you long enough, I thought I was going to have to come find you," I say
"I'm sorry, I had to attend to Eowyn" He replies
"So is Eowyn going to be ok?" I ask him
"Yes, she'll be fine as will Lyra and the baby. She just has a few minor cuts and bruises and a bump on her head but she'll be fine" He says and stands up.
"Thank you, my friend," I say
"Of course," He says and leaves, I kiss Lyra's hand softly.
Lyra
I open my eyes, finding I am on a bed, Legolas sits next to me, holding my hand. His face looking worried and tired.
"Legolas," I say, he turns his head to look at me
"Oh thank the gods," He says and kisses me, "I thought you'd never wake up"
"You worry too much," I tell him as I place a hand to his cheek.
"Only because I love you, Jarvis told me what happened and I admit I punched him, sorry," He says
"You don't sound too sorry" I reply
"No, not really. He did hurt you, he's lucky I didn't take his head off" He growls the last bit his eyes glowing red.
"Calm down, he had his reasons and I let him," I tell him
"I know but that doesn't make me feel any better about it"
"Maybe not but it's done with"
"You're right" Legolas places his lips on mine in a passionate kiss
"I love you," I say once we break apart
"And I you."
"Have you written your father about our daughter yet?" I ask him as he strokes my stomach
"No, not yet. I will eventually" He replies
"What do you think will happen after the war?"
"We'll go to Mirkwood, have another wedding, and have our daughter. I think my father plans to step down as king once the war is over and pass the throne on to me"
"Do you think he'll like me?" I ask
"He'll love you Lyra, I know it," Legolas says kissing me
"I hope so"
"Now who worries too much" He teases me
He places a kiss on my stomach just as the door opens and Aragorn enters the room
"You're needed in the throne room, we need to make a plan of attack on Sauron," He says and leaves. Legolas helps me up and I change and we head to the throne room.
