Thanks to Az and her mad Elladan for the inspiration. ;) Thanks to Milly for helping all this make sense. Erestor stood at the door to Glorfindel?s room watching as the Elf slowly packed up his strange study, staring at each piece before putting them away into the crates for their move to ?Lorien. Sighing, he moved to the window and simply stared. It had been nearly three months now since the meeting, Arwen had returned home and they were planning on leaving when the ?Lorien party departed in another few days. He thought Glorfindel had met his match in Haldir. Both were cheeky, stubborn and as childish as his own child at times. But watching Glorfindel so distracted, as to not know he was even there, convinced him he couldn?t do this to the other. Leaving the room he headed for the Nursery and was not surprised to find a full house. Sitting in a circle on the floor Arwen, the Twins and Haldir were all playing with Calanmir, who found Haldir the most interesting with his silver hair. He was yanking on the strands as he had done with Celeborn. "Your son has quite the grip," Haldir said, wincing slightly. "I know?" Erestor started but at the sound of his voice Calanmir turned. "Ada Ada!" He cried, trying to get to his father and crawling straight for him. Erestor shoved his black robes out of the way and got down on his knees for easier access. Lifting his son who wrapped his arms around his neck. He still wondered why he caused such a reaction in the babe. Erestor joined the circle knowing Calanmir would not let him leave yet. Calanmir settled in his lap staring at Elladan and Elrohir. "Dan! Ro Ro!" He exclaimed pointing at the Twins and they smiled, glad he could already tell them apart. Then he clapped happily. "Da! DA!" Calanmir shrieked and Erestor knew Glorfindel had arrived as well. He felt as the blond kneeled behind him and kissed his cheek. They still had not gone past kissing but he just didn't feel he could be that intimate with Glorfindel. The very thought made him shiver. "Cold?" Glorfindel whispered, lightly rubbing his shoulders. "No, there is something I must do. Stay with Calanmir and his admirers for a while?" Erestor said shifting the child to Glorfindel. "I will return shortly. Be good." "Of course I will," Glorfindel said with a grin. "I was speaking to Calanmir but you most likely need it more," Erestor chuckled. "So, what were you all discussing?" "Um?" Elladan started, looking around. "Oh him, what of the?" "Language Glorfindel," Arwen said indicating the baby in his arms that was watching him intently, the expression reminding him of Erestor. "He's Mirkwood's latest stable boy. He has a lovely hay loft to sleep in," Haldir said snidely. "It's too good for him," Glorfindel snarled and Calanmir petted his arm sensing his agitation. Glorfindel lifted the baby into his arms and with one hand lifted his shirt and blew a raspberry on his belly causing Calanmir to shriek in delight. ******* Walking to Elrond's study he walked into the office and past Figwit, who's jaw dropped, without a single glance. "I need to talk to you." "I find that surprising as you haven't spoken to me in months." "Is there a reason I should?" Erestor asked. "We were never friends and we no longer work together," Erestor said, looking at the messy pile on Elrond's desk. "And you will leave for "Lorien in a few days?" "About that" I think I want to change that." "You want to stay?" Elrond asked, surprised. "Not particularly. I want to come back. A holiday of sorts." "I don't understand." "I will speak frankly, as you were so kind to do to me for the past year." "Erestor I?" "Don't bother," Erestor said with a shake of his head. "I would be quite happy to never set foot here again, though I would be quite bored in "Lorien. I know this, it is the reason I left in the first place. But Glorfindel loves it here, even if he would not dare say it. So we will go and we will return in a few months, years, or centuries. I do not know." "It is your decision," Elrond said. "Of course it is, but I want my position back when I return." "As Chief Advisor?" "No as a flying Warg. Did I have another position I was not aware of?" Erestor bit icily. "Is that a problem?" "I would not think you would want to work so closely with me." "You make it sound like we would have to be civil. Didn't the last, oh 3 000 years give you that impression" You don't know the slightest thing about me and its clear I never knew you or I would have never'so do I or do I not have a reason to return?" "Yes, whenever you return your position is yours," Elrond said. "Good," Erestor said and left the room. "Erestor wait," Figwit started. "What?" "There was always something that bothered me. How come you didn't you know that you could have children" It's clear you prefer the company of males." "Valar, no wonder I never allowed you to do anything of even minor importance. Obviously because I had never lain with anyone before," Erestor snapped and left the room never hearing the crash in other room. Heading back to the nursery he wondered how Glorfindel would take his news. When he entered he was surprised to just see Glorfindel and his son. "Where did everyone go?" Erestor asked sitting beside Glorfindel and realizing Calanmir was asleep, sucking on his thumb. "Lunch. I decided to wait for you." "Thank you," Erestor said taking Calanmir and placing him in his crib. Smiling when the sleeping baby snuggled against him. "What would you say if I said I wanted to come back?" "What" Come back where?" Glorfindel asked, confused. "Why Imladris of course. Instead of going to "Lorien to live, just making it a holiday be it extended or short." "But after everything that has happened to you here. The way you were treated, the fact that Elrond still hasn't even apologized, even after the Twins did. Publicly, I might add." "How could I forget?" Erestor asked, thinking back to the night. Thranduil had left with his disgraced son" "That is one thing I hope never to see again," Elladan sneered, walking back into the house. The hall was filled with Elves who were all curious to see what had happened, though no one knew the full story. Elladan was the first to notice Erestor nearly blending with a pillar with Glorfindel standing beside the haunted Elf. He nudged his brother indicating he wanted him to look in that direction as well and he sighed. Erestor didn't look much better than at the trial and Elrohir was the first to approach. He lowered his head in shame when Erestor actually took a fearful step back from him. Dropping to his knees he reached for a trembling Erestor's hand, which he only received because Glorfindel placed Erestor's hand in his. "Erestor, sorry does not even begin to show the regret and anguish I feel for the way I have been treating you the last few months. And over something as petty as you rejecting me after you had been so horribly violated by Legolas," A gasp came from around as many understood what Elrohir was saying, though his words were vague. "I know I do not deserve it, but I would like to beg your forgiveness for being such a fool. I have wronged you greatly and will try my best to win you friendship once again," Elrohir concluded, never looking at Erestor's face. "Please stand," Erestor whispered and Elrohir obeyed, though he still did not look Erestor in the eye. "I accept your apology Elrohir." Elrohir smiled, embarrassed. Then he embraced Erestor who stiffened slightly, but forced himself to relax. Elrohir released him, a slight blush on his cheek. "Well um"after that anything I say just seems lacking"but I feel the same"I"m sorry Erestor," Elladan whispered. "I accept your apology as well," Erestor said knowing Elladan had always had a problem expressing his thoughts openly, though on parchment he could rival the best. "Erestor! Come back to me love!" Glorfindel said waving a hand in front of his face. "Sorry, I was distracted for a moment there." "I noticed," Glorfindel said, wrapping an arm around Erestor who then leaned against his shoulder. "Do you want to?" Erestor asked. "Do I want to what?" "Return to Imladris, keep up." "That does not matter. The question is do you want to?" Glorfindel asked. "If I never wanted to see this Valley again I would have never asked." "Then yes, I would be happy to return," Glorfindel said with a smile. "Alright, I believe you said it was time for lunch," Erestor said touching his once again flat stomach. ******* Erestor lifted Calanmir into his arms and stepped outside the carriage, surprised to be welcome to "Lorien by the Lord and Lady followed by a large gathering of Elves. Erestor took in the sight and felt slightly overwhelmed. Almost instantly there was an Elf at his side. "Thank you?" The glint of silver out of the corner of his eye caused him to turn his head. He was surprised to see Haldir and not Glorfindel. One look at Celeborn though showed him what had happened as the blond spoke to the Lord. "Come, I"ll show you to your Talan," Haldir said, leading Erestor away from the crowd and through the trees without a second glance. "I"m sure the Lord and Lady will understand and meet you for dinner. It will give you time to rest and freshen up." "Thank you Haldir," Erestor whispered as he was lead away from prying eyes. "Well let me show you your Talan," Haldir said, producing a ladder seemingly out of nowhere. "Can you climb?" "Did you forget I was born and raised here?" Haldir grinned. "I think I did. After you," Haldir said with a bow. Erestor smiled in return. Looking at his arm full of baby he stopped. "Calanmir, hold on," Erestor said and his son latched onto his neck then decided to scramble onto Erestor's back and hold on. "Horsey!" He exclaimed in delight and Erestor sighed. "I blame Glorfindel," he muttered as Calanmir grabbed strands of his hair to use as reigns. He climbed once he was sure Calanmir was safe and not about to move again. Entering the Talan he smiled at the homely surroundings as Calanmir started wriggling on Erestor's back and he sighed, lifting his son into his arms. "Look, it's our new home," Erestor said Calanmir glanced about seemingly unimpressed. "Da?" "Glorfindel shall be along shortly. Let's see your new bed," Erestor said glancing at a crib with some carved mobiles. He placed Calanmir inside and he climbed out almost instantly. Erestor sighed, but made no move to put him back in. then he started to crawl about, getting a look at his surroundings. Every once in a while pulling himself up to stand before plopping back down to crawl. "He will walk soon. He is nearing his 10th month, I suppose he should," Erestor said as Calanmir crawled over to him, using the end of his robes stood on his short legs. "Hungry Ada." "When Glorfindel comes we will go eat." "Hungry now." "Calanmir," Erestor said calmly. Calanmir looked up at his father, let go of his leg and crawled over to Haldir. "Go Da." "Me?" "He wants you to go get Glorfindel," Erestor explained. "Oh how far I have fallen," Haldir said and sighed. "I will indulge you little one," he said and turned to the exit the Talan. "Thank you!" Calanmir exclaimed waving wildly. But before Haldir left the top of the a blond head appeared. "DA!" Calanmir screamed as Glorfindel popped up with a grin. "Well hello, its nice to know I"m missed," Glorfindel said smiling though it quickly turned to confusion as Calanmir turned away from him and crawled over to Erestor. "Ada! Hungry!" ***AN*** if you"re wondering why a 10 month old baby can say so much and is starting to walk I am going by what the great JRRT said that 1 year old elflings can sing and dance!

He had already dressed and did not want to climb up to fetch the three year old. Calanmir looked down at Haldir and pouted then got out of the tree by diving into the Haldir's arms. "We have to get you cleaned up and dressed. We will go see your Da." "Why are Ada and Da in different Talans?" Calanmir asked as he was lead away from his home. "It is part of the tradition for today; they will see each other at the ceremony." "Can we go see Ada next?" "Yes. But you have to be dressed first and Glorfindel has your clothes." "Okay," he said as they reached Haldir's Talan. Climbing up they could already hear voices. "Are you a warrior or not?" "This is not battle! It is my binding ceremony." "Battles are easy. It's peace that is difficult." "Da?" Calanmir called, walking into the room and looking at the dark haired Elf at Glorfindel's side. "Hello." "Calanmir, this is Maglin; a very good friend of mine from Imladris." "Imdris?" "Im-la-dris," Glorfindel repeated. "Like Ada's pictures?" "Yes that is the place." "It's pretty," Calanmir said as his eyes drifted to Glorfindel's tunic. "Yellow flower. Like in the big picture of you." ****** "Elrohir its been 3 years, besides Rumil seems nice." "I thought Legolas was nice," Elrohir muttered. "You can't doubt yourself every time you meet an Elf you find attractive." "Elladan he was a monster! He didn't care one whit about what he had done"and I would have let him," Elrohir shuddered at the thought. Elladan glanced across the clearing to where Orophin and Rumil were standing much like they were, whispering to each other and glancing at the Twins. "Don't look!" Elrohir hissed, hitting his brother on the arm. "Fine, let's go visit Erestor, if you refuse to trust your judgment." "I trusted my judgment with Legolas and look at where it got me." "Elrohir be honest, you weren't thinking. It was a more carnal thing and you know it. You are too young to be celibate!" "Elladan!" Elrohir exclaimed, mortified as Orophin and Rumil stared at the Twins slack jawed. Smiling, Elladan waved and dragged his crimson brother away. "What was that?" Rumil asked his brother. "We may have an ally. Now how exactly do you tell them apart?" Orophin asked. "Elrohir is the one with the eyes that can see into your soul," Rumil whispered. "Valar, not all of us are love sick puppies." "Elladan is in the blue tunic with a tear at the sleeve of his right arm." "Thank you," Orophin said with a sigh. "Now, let's make sure everything is perfect for the happy couple." The pair resumed arranging the few items that had been brought out for the ceremony on a small table in the center of the clearing where Celeborn and Galadriel would be both presiding. ******** "Erestor calm down. You and Glorfindel have been practically married for the past few years." "Its not the ceremony I am worried about," Erestor whispered, wringing his hands as he paced the talan. Elrohir's head popped up and for a moment all he could do was stare. Erestor looked amazing, the time in "Lorien had done wonders for the already beautiful Elf. He was in a pair of form fitting black leggings and Elrohir saw the outline of muscles he was sure weren't there before. Climbing up further he saw that Erestor was wearing a simple white shirt, cut perfectly to mould to the Elf's skin and again saw a change in Erestor's form. He was still a slender Elf, but did not look nearly as fragile as before. "Any day now baby brother," Elladan said beneath him. Erestor turned and smiled as Elrohir scrambled his way into the talan, followed by Elladan who blinked surprised when he saw Erestor. "My, I would say "Lorien agreed with you!" Erestor blushed slightly. "Thank you. Glorfindel insists on sparring and Haldir insists on archery. Between the two of them and Calanmir it's a wonder I get any rest." "So we will not see you in Imladris any time soon?" "I do not know. How are things there?" Erestor asked. "There is such a backlog of letters and documents that we all help Ada and it is still not enough, thanks to that fool. But now we have a system that means we are only a week behind on everything," Elrohir said with a sigh as Elladan jabbed him. "That bad?" "Elrohir exaggerates," Elladan said not wanting to make Erestor feel guilty into returning to their father. Knowing the Elf had never apologized for treating Erestor the worst out of all of them. "Erestor are you ever going to put on your robes?" Tella asked coming in from the other room, a beautiful silver-gray robe in her hands. "Hello boys!" "Tella," the Twins said in unison. "Erestor there is another reason we came to see you. What do you think of Rumil?" "He's the youngest of two brothers, always protected he comes off as shy but is a very sweet Elf. I enjoy his company and Calanmir has dubbed him his favorite horsy." "See! A perfectly nice Elf! Now I want to find you two kissing in the bushes before the day is out!" "Don't you two know Rumil though?" Erestor asked confused. "As children, our last few visits always seem to find him on duty. I think it has been nearly 700 years since we actually saw him." "Oh," Erestor said. "Erestor," Tella started waving the robe. With a sigh Erestor approached and with trembling fingers tried to button it. "Erestor are you alright?" Elladan asked. "Fine," Erestor said, still shaking. "Sit down," Elrohir said as Tella pulled up a chair and placed it behind Erestor. "Erestor you know its normal to be nervous. I was so overwrought on my binding day that I kept Maglin waiting for nearly an hour as I left the house took a step then fled back to my room." "If it makes you feel any better, Glorfindel is wearing a hole into my Talan," Haldir said climbing in with a fully dressed Calanmir on his back. "He is nervous too?" "I think he would find war simpler," Erestor sighed though he did not know why Glorfindel's nervousness made him feel relaxed. He glanced at his son who was strangely silent. Calanmir was staring at the Twins, slowly looking between them. "Do you remember them?" "Dan and Ro," Calanmir said still studying the twins. Finally he pointed to Elladan. "Dan." "How does he do that?" Tella asked. "It took me years to tell them apart. Even now I make mistakes." "I have no idea," Erestor said with a shrug as Calanmir approached the Twins for a hug. "You have gotten so very big since we last saw you," Elrohir said. "I"m three now," Calanmir explained. "Yes you are and I think you can say our full names now: Elladan." "Eldan." "Elladan." "That's what I said," Calanmir said with a pout. "Yes and Elrohir." "Elrohir." "Perfect," Elrohir said with a smirk at his brother who rolled his eyes. "Ada, Da said I can't climb any more trees today." "And he is right, you have to stay clean for a few hours yet." "The trees are clean," Calanmir said. "They won't get me dirty if I ask." "Well that may be but you still have to listen to your Da," Erestor said in a no arguments tone. "Okay"Ada, Da has funny braids today. Are you gonna have funny ones too" Because of ta"diton?" "Tradition, and no, I can not do them." "I can do them for you," Tella said standing behind Erestor. "And I have the perfect accents." She said, taking out a box of tiny crystals. "When woven into the hair they looked wonderful." Erestor shrugged not one to argue. He had never bothered with braids and because of such never adorned his hair. "Do as you wish, you will get no argument from me." An hour later Erestor stared into the mirror. "Are you sure it looks alright?" "Ada looks pretty, like Da in his nice tunic," Calanmir said from his perch on Elladan's shoulders. Erestor smiled. "I suppose I should put on my robe before Haldir returns," he said lifting the silver gray material. This time not faltering as he fastened the robe. Suddenly a thought came to him that next time he was in this Talan he would be a bonded Elf and his hands may not be the ones removing the robe, he shuddered. Was he finally ready to lay with Glorfindel" The way a bonded Elf should" Could he truly deny his mate such, from a fear that totally unfounded" Glorfindel would never hurt him. He knew it totally, yet he was still terrified. It wasn't logical or rational and Erestor was an Elf who prided himself on having an abundance of both. He opened his eyes when he felt a weight about his legs and looked down to see Calanmir hugging him. His child never seemed willing to let him brood and it was hard to do when looking at that angelic face. Lifting him into his arms Erestor hugged him tightly and kissed him. "I love you." "I love you too Ada." "Now let's go tell your Da that," Erestor said as he made his way out of the Talan, Calanmir still in his arms. He stood at the base of the Talan as the Twins and Tella made their way to join him. Haldir arrived a few minutes later, a black sash in his hands. Erestor placed Calanmir down and allowed Haldir to tie on the blindfold. He was then led by the silver Elf and smiled when a tiny hand slipped into his free one. They walked and Erestor heard rather than saw when they entered the clearing. Suddenly Haldir released his hand and if it wasn't for Calanmir he would have felt lost. His son lifted his hand and placed it in another and he smiled, recognizing Glorfindel. Galadriel's clear voice rang out in the glade. "We are here to bind the souls of these two Elves and gain the blessing of the Valar for this sacred union." "Bring them together in the way their hearts already know that they belong," Celeborn added. "Blindfolded, it is not your bodies that seek each other out but your very souls to entwine you for all eternity?" Galadriel words started to fade into the background of Glorfindel's mind as he felt Erestor's trembling. Rubbing the fingers he whished he could do more to comfort Erestor. But unless he wanted to break tradition he could not touch his love for a while yet. Erestor, while trembling slightly, was enthralled by what Galadriel was saying, having never been to a binding ceremony. He noticed when Glorfindel started rubbing his fingers and squeezed his hand, a ghost of a smile on his face. "Do you both freely join with each other for all eternity, under the eyes of the watchful Valar in love?" "We do," Erestor and Glorfindel said together. "I bind you, Glorfindel Lord of the house of the Golden flower to Erestor beloved child of Lothlorien until the end of time itself," Galadriel said as Celeborn removed the blindfolds. Glorfindel looked upon his bonded mate and gasped, Erestor looked as if he had taken the night sky stars and all and asked it to be his hair for the day. Erestor blushed lightly and Glorfindel gave in to the wish he had had since he had entered the clearing and pulled Erestor into his arms for a hug. "If you have them you may exchange tokens now," Celeborn said and Erestor nodded as he took something out of his pocket. Two lockets dangled on mithril chains. The shape was of a golden flower and Glorfindel was stunned at the beauty. "Open it," Erestor said quietly. Glorfindel did just that and inside was a picture of Erestor holding Calanmir close. He opened the other and it was an image of him holding Calanmir. He recognized Erestor's work immediately. Grinning he shut the locket and carefully placed it around Erestor's neck and handed it to his lover for him to do the same. Erestor carefully placed it upon Glorfindel's head and his lover could resist no longer and drew him into a kiss. ******** Sobbing, Erestor ran through the trees to Haldir's Talan. Climbing in he was surprised to find the Elves awake and talking to the Twins. He tried to slip past them all but Haldir noticed him instantly. "Erestor" What is wrong?" Haldir asked standing. "I couldn't I?" "What happened?" Elladan asked. leading Erestor to his own seat. "We were?" Glorfindel lead his bonded mate to their talan and was surprised to learn the preparations hadn't stopped at the glade. There were flower petals all about the outside of the Talan and a trail leading to the bedroom. "Are you sure?" Glorfindel asked. "Yes," Erestor whispered hoping Glorfindel didn't notice how much his voice shook. Glorfindel nodded and held Erestor close as he started to kiss him. At the same times his hands began opening the gray robe he had barely noticed the entire ceremony. Erestor's eyes had absorbed him totally. "Your hair looked beautiful today." "Thank Tella," Erestor said, slightly breathless as Glorfindel pushed the robes off his shoulders. "In the morning," Glorfindel murmured huskily as he kissed his way down Erestor's jaw causing the other to shiver. Glorfindel pushed Erestor down on the bed and that's when the other froze. The kisses didn't stop as Glorfindel had yet to notice and he started to pull at the ties to Erestor's leggings. "Must I cut these blasted things off?" Glorfindel growled impatient to get to his mate. Though he finally noticed Erestor's reaction or lack there of. "Love?" "I"m sorry," he whimpered and ran out of the room and the Talan. "I just couldn't"where is Calanmir?" Erestor asked. "Rumil's room," Erestor nodded and went into the room wondering if his son would be the only Elf he would ever be able to sleep with.

Thanks to Az and her mad Elladan for the inspiration. ;) Thanks to Milly for helping all this make sense. Glorfindel shook his head as he slowly made his way out of the Talan. He felt like kicking himself. Of course Erestor would push himself to the brink this night. Erestor worried about the feelings of others long before he did his own. Glorfindel should have been the one to put a stop to it, knowing Erestor would have pretended to not to have been scared at all. Making his way up to Haldir and his brothers" Talan, Glorfindel was surprised to see only the light of a few candles. Looking at the couch he saw two forms entangled together. He couldn't see who they were as there was a curtain of silver and black shielding their faces. Glorfindel was about to make his presence known when Elladan darted into the room. "It's not a bush but I suppose we can accept," Elladan said nodding to his partner in crime: Orophin. "Elladan!" Elrohir exclaimed, blushing. "Glorfindel"!" The blond shrugged. "You"re late," Haldir remarked, entering the room last, smirking at his blushing little brother. "I had to take a cold bath, very cold," Glorfindel murmured. "Well, I hate to tell you this but Erestor shares another's bed," Haldir said grinning. "And who would that be?" Glorfindel asked with a roll of his eyes. "Well Rumil's bed but he shares it with an Elf who steals hearts as easily as the leaves fall." "Haldir, I"m quite tired. Which is Rumil's room?" Glorfindel said, tired of the game, his mind whirring on what could be done to aid his lover. "That one," Haldir said pointing. Glorfindel nodded and went into the room. Erestor was sound asleep on the left side of the bed with Calanmir curled close to his father in the center. Glorfindel climbed onto the right. It was then he noticed the tear stains on Erestor's face and his heart constricted. He had to help his lover face his demons and the bedroom was the last place Erestor needed to feel pressure. Slipping his hand under his tunic he fingered the pendant and curled his arm protectively around his family. He could not do this alone. But he was not alone, Erestor was loved in "Lorien the way he had been feared in Imladris before his fall from grace. Glorfindel thought the stories Erestor had told of his childhood had barely been the beginning. Glorfindel had yet to meet an older Elf who did not have a story of the delightful, considerate child. And the young ones, remembering times when, fresh from the library, he would tell a story to one child and by the end be surrounded by nearly dozens. Erestor was loved dearly here and it was here that Erestor would heal. Now knowing what his course of action would be Glorfindel finally allowed himself to fall asleep. It was Calanmir who awoke first the next morning pleasantly surprised to be flanked by both his parents. Smiling he wiggled his tiny body out of Glorfindel's hold, waking the blond. "And where do you think you"re going?" Glorfindel asked, one eye open already pulling his Calanmir back onto the bed. Before the child could answer Glorfindel started tickling and it was the musical laughter that woke Erestor. Looking at the pair Erestor couldn't help but smile. "Looks like we woke your Ada," Glorfindel said, stopping the tickling as Calanmir gasped for breath. "Why you here?" Calanmir asked. Erestor looked nervously at Glorfindel, who smiled at his bonded mate. "We decided we missed you." "Really" Its okay I like Rummie and his brothers, I would come back." Glorfindel stared at Calanmir then back at Erestor. "So this is what you were like at three. Amazing." Erestor simply blushed. "Ada I"m hungry." "Well, let's get you breakfast then," Erestor said though he cast another glance at Glorfindel. "We will talk later," Glorfindel glanced out the Talan. "When it is not five minutes after dawn," he muttered. ******** Erestor followed Glorfindel, even though the Elf had explained his idea he was still nervous. But he had to admit Glorfindel was right, even after all this time he still harboured his fears and Glorfindel alone would not be enough to help him deal with them. "Glorfindel, Erestor, this is a surprise," Celeborn said smiling. "I would think you two would still be enjoying your first day as a bonded pair." Erestor shuffled on his feet and Glorfindel smiled. "Um about that, can we sit?" Glorfindel asked clutching his lover's hand close. "Yes of course," Celeborn said, leading them to a private sitting room in the very public Talan. "What is it you would like to discuss?" Erestor glanced at Glorfindel, not sure how to begin. "Ah, Glorfindel would you excuse us?" Glorfindel glanced at Erestor who shrugged helplessly. Sighing, Glorfindel rose. And that began a pattern. Every day after the noon meal Erestor would go speak with Celeborn and return silent and introspective. Glorfindel hoped this was a good thing but did not want to pry on whatever it was that they discussed. One day after being lost in thought under a tree with Calanmir sitting in his lap, Erestor got a strange look on his face and then simply smiled when Glorfindel glanced at him confused. Erestor simply waved the blond away and Glorfindel resumed showing Calanmir how to tie feathers to an arrow that had yet to be sharpened. "Can I start shooting arrows when I"m four?" Calanmir asked as he held up his feathered arrow and it promptly fell off. Frowning he picked it up to work again. "No," Erestor said, never too distracted to hear Calanmir. "Five?" "No." "Six?" "Calanmir," Erestor warned. "When did you start learning?" Erestor asked Glorfindel. "Twenty, so that is when you will learn." "Twenty!" Calanmir exclaimed wide eyed. "But that's so long!" "Not really your Ada didn't start until he was five thousand years old." Glorfindel laughed at his son's gaping jaw and wide eyes. "So is twenty that long?" Calanmir slowly shook his head. "Glorfindel how old am I?" Erestor asked with a wry grin. "Er, 5723?" "4127." "What"! I always thought you were older than Elrond." Erestor shrugged. "No, just more serious," Erestor said as he started to tickle Calanmir. "Oh, and Celeborn wants to see you." "When" Now?" "When you have time," Erestor said quietly. "There you are," Haldir said hovering over the family. "I believe I have archery practice with you." "Yes yes," Erestor said, sliding Calanmir to Glorfindel's lap. "Where Rummy?" "Kissing Elrohir," Haldir said with a grin. "Eldan?" "Teasing Elrohir about kissing Rumil." "Who I play with?" Calanmir asked used to running around while his fathers worked on archery and sword play. "I have a surprise for you, a family recently returned to "Lorien after spending some time in the Gray Havens. They brought their son. He's three as well. He's at the archery grounds with his parents if you want to meet him." "Ada?" Erestor stood extending an arm to Calanmir. Walking hand in hand to the archery grounds Glorfindel went to meet with Celeborn. Joining his mate and son nearly an hour later he grinned as he watched Calanmir chase a silver haired child about his height around a nearby grove of trees. Laughing as their roles were reversed and Calanmir became the one chased. "Its nice to see him play with another child," Glorfindel said slipping an arm around Erestor's waist as they watched their child. "Yes. What did Celeborn want?" "Nothing too important," Glorfindel said with a smile. "Were you waiting for me?" "Hmm" Oh yes," Erestor said lifting the sword from where he had impaled it in the soft earth. ********* Despite Glorfindel's brush off earlier, Erestor didn't believe for second that Celeborn had discussed nothing. It just worried him. And tonight was the first night Calanmir had slept away from them since the bonding ceremony and Erestor couldn't doubt that he had been using his son as a buffer. You couldn't have relations with a three year old sharing the bed. So here he was, a large book in his lap, hoping he would stay out here long enough for Glorfindel to fall asleep. His hopes where dashed when Glorfindel in blue sleep pants and nothing else came into the room. But instead of asking Erestor to bed he simply sat at his feet and rested his head on Erestor's knees. Erestor waited but no explanation was forthcoming. Glorfindel merely sat there and finally Erestor shut the book and placed it aside. "Is there something you wanted?" Erestor asked, a little worried even though Glorfindel hadn't even hinted at wanting more than kissing since that night a few months before. "Yes actually," Glorfindel said with a dazzling smile. "What?" "To kiss you," Glorfindel said, standing and lifting Erestor out of the chair before sitting down and promptly placing Erestor in his lap. His arms lazily draped on the arm rests. "If you"re not too busy reading your upside down book." Erestor had the decency to blush. Glorfindel replied with a kiss to the tip of his nose. Erestor shut his eyes and shook his head slightly before moving to kiss Glorfindel's lips which opened welcomingly to his own questing tongue. Glorfindel allowed Erestor to set the pace and his lover didn't notice at first as one of Glorfindel's hands strayed lower on his body, rubbing his half hard shaft into full arousal. It wasn't until Glorfindel slipped a hand into Erestor's gray sleep pants that he was fully aware of what Glorfindel was doing and moaned into the other's mouth. Glorfindel smiled and ran his thumb along Erestor's slit who whimpered, eyes shut, panting softly from the kissing and what was happening in his sleep pants. Glorfindel slipped out from under Erestor and kneeled on the floor. Reminding Erestor who watched through half silted eyes of a cat. Glorfindel was glad Erestor was wearing sleep pants as he easily slid them off Erestor's slender hips, before he could protest he had licked Erestor's erection from root to tip and all his mate was capable of was a moan. Slowly moving his hand up and down Erestor's shaft he kept his eyes pinned on his lover trying see if there was any discomfort or fear. Erestor's only problem seemed to be deciding whether he wanted to watch what Glorfindel was doing or simply throw his head back against the chair and enjoy the sensations. Glorfindel licked his lips and tasted the tip of Erestor's erection causing another whimper from his love. Slowly he took more of his lover in, his tongue swirling on the shaft. Erestor jerked his hips up wanting to get more and Glorfindel fought off his gag reflex as he eased his lover back into the chair with a hand on his hips before he started moving up and down on the shaft. Using one hand to keep Erestor in place he started to fondle his balls with the other and Erestor was lost. His head thrown back he did not even realize the noises he was hearing were his own moans and whimpers as a burning seemed to start from his lower stomach and move out. Glorfindel started to hum and Erestor was undone. An increase in Erestor's volume was all the warning Glorfindel got before his lover's seed shot down his throat. Swallowing what he could, some dribbled down his chin and onto Erestor's stomach. With a smile and noting Erestor was watching, Glorfindel wiped his chin and licked his fingers clean before licking the few spots off Erestor. He watched it all, his eyes half shut but his surprise still easy to see. Glorfindel rose to his feet, completely ignoring his own erection, and lifted Erestor who was quite content to become one with the chair and walked into the bed room and placed Erestor down. "Wow," Erestor murmured as Glorfindel wrapped his arms around him so they were facing each other. "Goodnight love," Glorfindel said quietly and was taken by surprise when a hand tentatively slipped into his sleep pants. He gasped as Erestor's fingers lightly teased his shaft, moving in a nervous up and down motion. Glorfindel placed his hand over Erestor's and after a few guided strokes, Glorfindel was too incoherent to be of much guidance. But Erestor had gained enough confidence to continue with strong, sure strokes that brought Glorfindel over the edge. Glorfindel stared at Erestor in a daze and when he brought a hand up to taste his mate, Glorfindel felt another burst of pleasure. He was sure when he and Erestor were finally fully together it would be the death of him.

But is he telling the truth" Or is he trying to hide the shame of his unwedded relationship with another elf by spinning a fine web of lies. Disclaimer: I *sniff* do not any of the characters in this story. They are owned by Tolkien/Jackson. Warnings: ?"Rape?", Angst, MPREG, Authors Notes: Loosely based on some happenings in the LOTR RPG I"m currently playing, In Silpion's light. Thanks to Az and her mad Elladan for the inspiration. ;) Thanks to Milly for helping all this make sense. "Are you sure about this Erestor?" "Yes. You said it yourself: I am hiding here. With the Twins returning at the end of the month and Amrun's family returning to the Gray Havens, it is as good as a time as any before I have any other changes of heart or excuses." "He does not deserve you." "No, but lucky for him he will have me anyway." "We will miss you but I wish you luck. When will you depart?" "With the Twins." "They leave in a few weeks. I will add Haldir to their escort." "Add Rumil as well," Erestor said softly and Celeborn grinned. "He has already asked for a temporary leave to travel to Imladris. I have the feeling I will be loosing three great warriors." "Three?" "Orophin will not abide being left behind," Celeborn said with a smile. "I am sure your bonded mate would like to know." "Good day Celeborn." "Erestor," Celeborn said with a nod. Erestor left the Talan and made his way towards the archery grounds knowing that it was where Amrun and Calanmir usually met to play under the watchful eye of the adults. He came to a halt as he was approached by Haldir and a sullen Calanmir. "Son what's wrong?" "Dan and Ro are leaving too! Everyone is leaving!" Calanmir said with a sniff. "Would you like to go to?" "With Dan and Ro to "mlaris?" "Yes," Calanmir thought it over and Erestor added, "Haldir, Orophin and Rumil will be coming as well." Haldir glanced at Erestor who mouthed "Celeborn". Calanmir looked at Haldir. "What about Amrun?" "He is going to the Havens again but he leaves the same day. We could travel together part of the way. "Okay, when we go?" "It's a few more weeks yet." "How does Glorfindel feel?" Haldir asked. "Uh?" "How do I feel about what?" Glorfindel asked, using his tunic as a towel, as Erestor eyed his husband watching the slick skin shine in the sunlight. "You have a bit of something there on your chin," Haldir said with a smirk and Erestor rolled his eyes. "We are going with Dan and Ro to "mdis." "Im-la-dris, say it for me." "Im-la-dris and Haldir and Fin and Rummy are coming." "Oh I see. We will pack and I will have to teach you the proper way to greet smelly Elrond." "How?" Calanmir asked. "Like this," Glorfindel said blowing as raspberry. "Glorfindel behave. Calanmir don't listen to your Da." "Okay, so I don't have to eat carrots?" Calanmir asked. "Our little diplomat," Glorfindel said lifting Calanmir onto his shoulders. "I say he is a little Chief Advisor in training." "Only three and he can already replace Figwit," Erestor said with a smirk. "Put away the claws love," Glorfindel said giving Erestor a kiss on his cheek. "Well I should go see Celeborn. Make sure your Da is good," Haldir said winking at Calanmir. "Lunch time Da!" "No shouting on my head," Glorfindel said. "What would you like to have?" "Apples." "And?" Erestor asked walking along side Glorfindel. "Cookies and juice." "I think we will have a little more than that," Erestor said softly as they made their way home. ******** Elrond stood and followed his daughter out of the room to welcome his sons back to Imladris. Once outside he was surprised to see the larger than normal escort. He was more surprised when he spotted not one or even two of March Wardens but three. Rumil was riding beside Elrohir and Orophin was in the lead with Haldir riding beside. Elrond's jaw dropped when he saw Erestor. The Elf wore a tight blue tunic, darker blue leggings and a quiver on his back. There was a sword at his side and Elrond had to admit that Erestor looked like he could use it. Looking for Glorfindel he spotted him with a smaller version of Erestor on the horse in front of him. "Ada!" Arwen exclaimed nudging her father with an arm and he realized he had been openly gaping. "Welcome home!" She said rushing up to meet the Twins" horses. Elladan slid off first hugging his sister. "Hello sister dear, don't forget to greet your brothers." "Brothers?" Arwen asked pulling away from Elladan who had a wicked grin on his face. "Why Elrohir and his dear love Rumil!" Arwen glanced at her brother who was blushing as he dismounted, Rumil just as red. "Don't tease, come here," She said opening her arms to Elrohir and Rumil, the latter much more reluctant to enter the hug. "Put me down Da!" Arwen glanced up not recognizing the child. Then realizing it could only be one child if he was calling Glorfindel da. "Calanmir?" "Pretty lady "Wen," Calanmir said smiling as he was swept up into her arms. Erestor was the last to dismount, strolling to the children and Glorfindel. He lifted Calanmir into his arms laughing when his son chose Arwen over him and passing him over to her as he reached for her. "Elrond there's a touch of drool there," Glorfindel said noticing the way he was gawking at Erestor. "He has a way with the ladies does he not?" Glorfindel said slipping an arm around Erestor. "He has a way with everyone," Erestor said noting that Elrond was still a distance away. "I do not bite Lord Elrond." Elrond cleared his throat. "Er"welcome home, Erestor, Glorfindel and um?" "Calanmir." "Of course," Elrond said. "Well your rooms are as you left them." "Room. I share a bed with my bonded mate and our child," Glorfindel said hiding his smile when Elrond looked slightly green. "Something wrong?" "No. There will be a feast inn the Great Hall in an hour's time to welcome everyone home," Elrond said before walking off. The Twins exchanged a look and shrugged. "Calanmir come, you have to take a bath then we will have dinner." "Okay, bye!" Calanmir said as Arwen placed him down on the ground. Walking together the trio made their way to Glorfindel's room and were stunned when they opened the door. The study had been converted into a nursery and the shelves filled with children's toys and books. None of the weapons Glorfindel left behind were around and all of Erestor's drawings and paintings were hanging on the walls in beautiful frames. "Surprise!" Tella exclaimed coming out from Glorfindel's bed chambers Maglin close in tow. "Before you ask we moved all the sharp things to Erestor's room. You can unpack the boxes when you want. But seriously, you can not have such things thrown about anymore. So what do you think, little warrior" Do you like your room?" "Mine?" Calanmir asked starring in awe as he lead Erestor by the hand around the room, touching various objects. He paused at the bed. "Why it so little?" "Why because you are little," Tella said with a smile. "But Ada and Da are big, they can't fit." "They will have their own bed," Maglin said and Calanmir shook his head. "I sleep with Ada and Da," he said seriously trying to mimic Erestor's tone. Tella was about to say something when Erestor intervened. "Well if one day you want to go you your own bed it is there. Want to see the big bed?" "Okay!" Calanmir took one look at Glorfindel's bed and attempted to climb on. Erestor caught him in his arms. "Uh uh, not until you take your bath," Erestor said and Calanmir made a face as he was led into the bathroom. "I"m clean," Calanmir said looking at his hand, he wiped it on his navy leggings then held it out for inspection. "Bath," Erestor said switching Calanmir into his other arm. "Okay, Da bring the boats!" Erestor shook his head with a small smile. "Thank you for everything Tella. It is lovely." "It's the least we could do," Tella said with a smile, pulling Maglin away from Glorfindel where the pair were having a hushed conversation. "We"ll leave you three to your bath." "Bath?" Glorfindel asked having missed the conversation. "Yes Da," Calanmir said, "bring the boats." "Yes Captain." ****** Elrond took a deep breath, pushing the door open after knocking. He was surprised at what he saw. A wet Calanmir was running around the room laughing while being stalked on both sides by Erestor and Glorfindel. All three Elves froze, looking at Elrond. Erestor was the first to come out of it. He already wore a towel around his waist and he scooped up Calanmir in the towel then started rubbing him dry, keeping his feet from touching the ground. "Ada!" Calanmir whined. "Do you mind" Find someone else's husband to drool over," Glorfindel said pointing to the door. Elrond vaguely wondered how Glorfindel could be so imposing in just a towel. Turning, he left the room and Glorfindel walked over to Erestor and started to dry Calanmir's head. "Da," the child whined as Glorfindel moved to his feet causing massive giggles. "I will poke that half-elf's eye out," Glorfindel said as Calanmir went into his room to pick out something out of his new wardrobe. "He's just surprised, the Twins acted the same way." "They did?" "Yes, before the ceremony I did look different," Erestor said slipping on a gray tunic and black leggings. "Will you be getting dressed at any point in time" I would like to eat." "Ada, I"m stuck," Calanmir said walking back into the room and bumping into the bed. Erestor smiled and pulled his son's head out of the sleeve and adjusted the shirt so all the right parts went into the right holes. Calanmir yawned and Erestor lifted him up. "Are you tired?" "Yes." "Well then to bed." "But I"m hungry too." "This is what we"ll do: we"ll have dinner in bed so when you are done you don't have far to go to sleep," Glorfindel said with a smile ******* The next morning Erestor woke to a tiny hand in his face. Moving Calanmir's hand he went into the bathroom and dressed, putting on a pale purple shirt and black leggings. He was pulling on soft boots when Calanmir woke. "Were are you going Ada?" "To do some work," Erestor said smiling at the dishevelled and sound asleep form of Glorfindel. "Can I come?" Calanmir asked excitedly. "Shh, don't wake your Da," Erestor said and Calanmir put his hands over his mouth and wriggled out of the bed. He then reached out to be lifted by Erestor who obliged and made his way to the office. It was midmorning and Erestor would have already been hard at work. So he was vaguely surprised to enter his office and see Figwit just settling into work. He looked up at Erestor, surprised, as he placed Calanmir down on the ground and the child started to explore. Figwit glanced at him then back a Calanmir. "He's cute must take after Le?" Figwit never finished the sentence as Erestor had the Elf by the throat and was hoisting him out of the chair. "Don't you dare say that name in my son's presence," Erestor hissed coldly dropping him back into his chair. "What are you doing here?" "Get out." "What" You've been gone nearly four years, and last I heard you were stripped of your position. You can't tell me what to do or where to go." "Calanmir, go into that room there and ask that Elf for some drawing paper." "Okay," Calanmir said happily going into Elrond's office and pushing the door shut behind him. "I will say this slowly. You have five minutes to pack any horrendous belongings of yours you dared place in here. Then you will get out of MY office and MY chair." "Just because you went to "Lorien and put something on those bones of yours doesn't mean you frighten me," Figwit said puffing up and Erestor realized for the first time the Elf was about two inches shorter than him. "I am the Chief Advisor of Imladris and I will not be displaced. I have had this position for five years." Erestor simply laughed. "You think you can just waltz in here with your bastard Prince and take over?" Erestor snarled then, angry beyond reason. "How dare you insult my son," he growled. "The son you didn't want" The one you ignored for months" What made him finally matter Erestor" Becoming Crown Prince of Mirkwood" Is that why you claim to love him now?" Erestor grabbed Figwit by the collar of his robes and shoved him out to the balcony. He held Figwit's face inches away from his and his tone had the deadly quality of a parent protecting their child from a threat. "You ever dare repeat those words to my son and I will cut that worthless tongue from your mouth. You even imply such a thing and I will castrate you. Are. We. Clear?" "Don't like to hear the truth?" Enraged Erestor pushed Figwit away from him and he fell to the ground below. Since they were only on the second level of the house he was not seriously injured and landed butt first in a rose bush. Erestor took a deep breath, pinching the bridge of his nose and supposed that was the anger that Celeborn claimed he had not been willing to express. Well there was no better candidate then Figwit. Erestor pushed the office door open and was surprised to see Calanmir in Elrond's lap as he drew a picture on parchment. The Elf Lord was smiling and allowing the child to instruct him on what he was allowed to do in the picture. "He has your talent Erestor," Elrond said carefully and Erestor shrugged. "Oh, you may need to have someone tend to the rose bushes outside. A large pile of warg droppings just fell into it." "By the name of Figwit?" Elrond asked with a raised brow. "To some I suppose." "So you are taking on your duties today?" "I do not see any reason to allow any more damage to be done. It may be another day or two." "Oh, there are some things we need to discuss," Elrond said seriously. "Excuse me little one I need to have a talk with your Ada." "Go sit in the chair the other Elf was sitting in," Erestor said as Calanmir gathered up the supplies. "Okay," Erestor said after Calanmir shut the door. "What do you have to say to me?" "First you raised a lovely son." "I had help." "Oh yes, congratulations are in order." "I suppose. But is this what you really need to discuss?" "No, but it does have to do with Calanmir. As Thranduil named him heir he will have to foster in Mirkwood, most likely when he reaches 40." "Over my dead body," Erestor growled. "As Prince of Mirkwood there are certain things that he can only do there." "Like what" Learn to wear green?" "Erestor I am merely the messenger." "Fine is that all then?" "There was one more thing. Erestor I apologize for the way I treated you during your pregnancy. And those months after it." "Oh. And it only took five years. Good day Elrond," Erestor went into the next room and Calanmir held up his drawing. Still childish but you could see the artistic skill of the child in a simple drawing of a horse. "Ada, I"m hungry." "Well let's go wake that sleepy head that's your Da and have a late breakfast." "Okay." "Son, how would you feel about sleeping over with Elrohir, Elladan, Haldir and his brothers tonight?" "Like a party?" "I suppose, we can ask them later. But don't tell Da, it will be a surprise." Calanmir nodded thinking about his upcoming celebration. Walking into the room they saw that Glorfindel was still asleep and the two dark haired Elves slowly and silently stalked the room and pounced on Glorfindel tickling him awake. Laughing as he woke Glorfindel grabbed Calanmir and started blowing raspberries on his stomach as he pulled Erestor closer for more tickling and turned the tables on his would be attackers. End Epilogue "Right there." Glorfindel looked down to where Erestor was pointing and stared at the Elf. "I don't see anything." "Right there. It's as plain as day." "Erestor I have no idea what you are talking about. Calanmir do you understand your father?" "What's cheek?" The eight year old asked. "Its what your new little brother has," Erestor said pointing to the baby who was fascinated with sucking on his foot at the moment. "Is that yellow hair like Da?" Calanmir asked looking at the blond haired, gray eyed infant. "No." Calanmir simply shrugged as Erestor yawned. "Love it's only been a few days, you need some rest." Erestor sighed and leaned down to kiss the baby's head and stroke the soft hair. Calanmir mimicked the action and so did Glorfindel. Leading his husband to bed, Glorfindel helped Erestor to settle then went to tuck Calanmir into his own bed. Returning he smiled as he saw Erestor snuggled amongst the furs. "I still say he's cheeky." "Erestor he is 4 days old. He can not be cheeky." "All I have to say is its all your fault." "You made that clear in the delivery," Glorfindel said nursing his sprained wrist. "Not that, the cheek he gets from you." Glorfindel laughed and kissed Erestor holding him close as he felt his lover's breathing even out. Shaking his head at Erestor's cheek argument he settled down to sleep as well.
