•Talia's POV•
I layed in bed next to my new husband. We had just been married that day. The wedding was so perfect.
*flashback to wedding*
I walked down the isle in my long white dress with no sleaves. I had my hair in a braid to the side with flowers in it.
I had no one to walk me down the isle so i walked by myself. I looked ahead and saw Thranduil. When he looked at me and our eyes met I almost stopped walking. When I got to him I held his hand. In front of us was Elrond he had come to marry us. After we had both said "I do" and Thranduil leaned in and kissed me making everyone cheer, I was crowned Queen of Mirkwood.
*flashback over*
I was pulled out of my thoughts when Thranduil rolled over and kissed my cheek. I looked at him and smiled.
"How does it feel to be the Queen?" he asked.
"It feels great" I replied.
I cuddled up next to him and went back to sleep.

The next day I began to really feel like a queen. I was used to being a princess but that is much different. Unlike most queens I spent a lot of time in the village, helping people who were in need. I spent some time in the garden too, it was so peaceful there. It really helped me relaz and I could think. Thranduil would come sit with me in the garden when he had the time. I began to learn more and more about him. He wasn't the heartless King that some people had called him. He was really a good person. I found that he really disliked dwarves though. I wasn't sure why. I think every race is needed. I think elves and dwarves should try to get along. Sure we are very differnet than dwarves but we don't have to hate them.

~~Thranduil's P.O.V~~
I was sitting on my throne when Talia came running in.
"Thranduil" she said with a huge smile on her face.
"What?" I asked suspiciously.
She giggled and came up the stairs to my throne.
She sat in my lap.
"You seem very happy today" I said.
She looked at me and giggled again.
"Why do you keep laughing?" I asked. She kissed my cheek and said, "I'm pregnant" she said.
I put my hands on her cheeks.
"Really?" I said in a low voice.
I smiled.
"Really" she said, still with a huge smile on her face.
I hugged her tightly.
"I'm so happy" she said.
I laughed.
"I can tell" he said.
"Aren't you happy" she said.
I smiled. "I am very happy" I replied.

\\1 yr. Later\\
•Thranduil's POV•
It had been nine months since Talia had become pregnant. Today was the day she went into labor. I was pacing back an forth outside the door, listening to her scream.
The nurses thought it would be best for me to wait outside, which I hated. Listening to her screaming made me want to go in, sit by her side, and hold her hand the whole time, but I stayed outside and waited nervously. Finally her screaming stopped, and I heard crying. Then a nurse let me in.
I ran to Talia's side. I could tell she was in a lot of pain. I leaned down and kissed her cheek. She smiled slowly. A nurse came up to me and handed me our new daughter.
She was beautiful.. just like her mother.
"What should we call her?" I asked Talia.
"H-how about Lilia?" She asked.
"Lilia, that's perfect" I said smiling.
