Chapter 3
They Have To Know
T.A. 2490
Rivendell
"What is it that you wish to tell me?" Elrond asked.
He was still on the floor comforting his wife, has she cries, though he as yet to know why. Celebrían was silent for awhile not saying anything, still afraid of the reactions of her family. She repeatedly opened her mouth and then closed it right back, opened and closed. For she could not find the words to tell him. Once she finally found the words to say, she still could not look at her husband.
Weakly she spoke, "Elrond, I am......'lenòmin.'"
Elrond was surprised and filled with joy at the same time, but he did not understand why his beloved was still crying.
"Why, do sad tears fall on such a joyous occasion? This is wonderful news, Celebrían."
Oh, but only more tears came down her face. She was still afraid of what the children would think.
"And what would the children think, Elrond? What would they say?"
Elrond did not answer, for he had no answer. How, would they react to the news of a little brother or......sister. Elrond had forgotten about the vision of their future daughter, he never told Celebrían.
"I saw her you know." He whispered in her ear.
"Who?" Was all she said.
"Our daughter." He simply said.
"Arwen?" Celebrían asked, now looking at her husband.
Elrond shook his head no. Celebrían's eyes widened and looked down at the floor.
"When?" She asked.
"I'm sorry?"
"When did you see her?" Celebrían begged.
Elrond said nothing. Celebrían begged again.
"When, 'Melleth!?'"
"...Three years ago." Elrond whispered.
Celebrían looked at her husband, not believing her ears. Elrond just smiled, bringing her chin up he said.
"Now, there are those beautiful eyes." He said as he kissed her forehead.
"How, do you know she is ours?" Celebrían asked still in tears.
"I know,...she is ours," Elrond explained, as he placed his hand on her stomach. Celebrían followed his movement and her hand placed on top of his. "because she had your smile." Elrond finished.
A smile came upon Celebrían's face. Just then there was a knock at the door. Elrond stood up and then helped Celebrían off the floor.
Elrond then spoke, "Come in."
The door cracked open just enough so that Elladan, their oldest son, could walk in the room.
'Naneth, Ada', "is everything alright?" Elladan asked.
"Yes, 'lell nón', why would something be wrong?" Answered Elrond.
"Well, we heard crying." Elladan said.
"...We...?" Celebrían stuttered.
Elrond let out a sigh, "Elladan, is your brother and sister outside the door?"
Elladan nodded.
"Elrohir, Arwen!" Elrond called. "Come in here please."
The door opened wider and Elrohir and Arwen walked in closing the door behind them. Elrond then spoke,
"I believe your mother has something to tell you."
Celebrían gave her husband a death stare, but he did not see her threat.
"Is it true 'Naneth', is there something you wish to tell us?" Elrohir asked.
Celebrían let out a sigh. "Yes, there is something."
"You can tell us anything, 'Naneth.'" Arwen replied.
Celebrían looked at her three children, and spoke,
"I'm......'lenòmin.'"
She saw her three children's faces, in complete shock at the news, which is what she feared. There was a very long silent pause before anyone spoke.
"Well, it took you two thousand years, but I finally get my younger sibling." Arwen stated with a smile.
"Yeah, maybe now I will get my younger brother." Elrohir said with a laugh.
We all laughed at the statements given, which made Celebrían wonder why she was afraid in the first place.
