Chapter Fourteen, Completed Bond

Chapter Fourteen, Completed Bond

It had been just over three weeks since they entered Lothlórien and Evelina had gone off with her mates to complete the bonding as she'd gone into heat, though she didn't enter the heat fully till a week later so it gave her time to get to know her new mate Haldir. But now the rest of the Fellowship was waiting for their other members to return though Lady Galadriel had assured them they would be back sometime today. "Unca Nev?" Little Teddy asked from where Merry and Pippin were keeping him occupied as Neville, Luna and Andromeda catched up on all that had been going on while they were apart.

"What's the matter Teddy?" Neville asked as he turned to look at his nephew. "Where mummy?" Teddy asked with large watery green eyes that were so much like Evelina's that the rest of the Fellowship almost believed that Teddy was her biological son, before anyone could answer a familiar voice sounded from behind them. "I'm here Teddy." Evelina said tiredly but she had a wide smile on her face as Teddy ran towards her, crouching down she opened her arms for him as he ran to her clutching on to her shirt.

The rest of the Fellowship noticed how Aragorn, Legolas and Haldir all stayed close to her. Neville frowned at how close they were and how protective they were and that could only mean one thing. 'Oh Eve, why does everything happen to you.' Neville thought but as he looked at the happy family he knew that when Evelina found out she would immediately start to blame herself and Neville was not going to let that happen he was going to protect his little sister even if it meant from herself. "I missed you mummy." Teddy said still holding onto his mother as she stood up with him so he was nestled on her hip his head resting on her shoulder. "And I you Teddy," Evelina replied softly as she kissed his forehead. "Would you like to meet your new daddies?" She asked calmly but those who knew her well could sense the hesitance in her voice.

"I have new daddies?" Teddy asked his voice full of wonder. Evelina nodded her head as she watched her precious little boy carefully, "Three new daddies Teddy. You're one special little boy Teddy as you have two mummies and four daddies who love you, lots of aunties and uncles who love you as well as your grandparents. I love you so much cub, you can meet your new daddies but only if you want to."
"I want to meet them. Please mummy?" Teddy said eagerly bouncing up and down excitedly laughing Evelina kissed his forehead as she re-settled him on her hip. "Of course you can Teddy." She said as they turned to three men standing behind her. "Teddy these are your daddies. The man with black hair is your daddy Aragon," Evelina said pointing to Aragorn who smiled and kissed Teddy on the head that laughed and hugged him tightly around the neck, once Teddy had let go Evelina introduced Legolas and Haldir. "Teddy these two are elves just like auntie Luna but the one dressed in green is your daddy Legolas and the other is your daddy Haldir." Evelina said smiling lovingly at her three mates and her little boy. "Hello." Teddy said excitedly as he waved to his other daddies, though soon his brow pulled into a frown.

"What's wrong Teddy?" Aragon asked concerned that they'd overwhelmed their new son. "What's the Elvish 'ord vor daddy?" Teddy asked his head cocked to the side thoughtfully and Aragorn, Legolas and Haldir realised that Evelina did that too when she was thinking. "It's Ada, Teddy." Haldir supplied.
"Thank you." Teddy beamed at him. "Your daddy, he said pointing at Aragorn. "Papa," he said pointing at Legolas in turn. "And Ada." Teddy finished seeming very pleased with himself as he pointed at Haldir. Kissing his head endearingly Evelina placed him carefully on the ground and whispered in his ear, "why don't you go and cheer up your uncle Frodo." Evelina suggested knowing Luna and Neville would have introduced everyone as such. "Okay. Bye mummy, daddy, papa, Ada." He shouted as he ran off over to where the four Hobbits sat quietly with Gimli, his hair changing from red to black and then to dark blonde then white blonde, his four parents watching him carefully.

It was close to two months since the Fellowship had arrived in Lothlórien due to Lady Galadriel's insistence that they stay and get over the death of Gandalf and also so the new bond between Evelina, Aragorn, Legolas and Haldir could solidify otherwise it may hurt Evelina if she was separated from Haldir so soon after completing the bond; but Evelina feared it may be down to something else that was making Lady Galadriel insist on them staying and she was right. She was pregnant. Two months pregnant to be exact, she had gone to Lady Galadriel a couple of days ago as she was throwing up nearly all the time she was fortunate enough that only Andromeda and Luna knew and they were the ones that took her to see Lady Galadriel who then revealed the happy news, depending on how you looked at it. And now she had to somehow break it to the rest of the company who had become like family to her in the short space of time that they'd been together.

"Eve. Stop it." Neville's voice sounded from behind her, Luna and Andromeda had come back little over an hour ago, they said that Evelina wanted to be alone for awhile, luckily Teddy was still down for his nap otherwise they'd have an emotional toddler on their hands wanting his mummy. Jumping as she was suddenly brought out of her thoughts Evelina turned round to face her brother, tears streaming down her face. "It's my fault Nev. They're going to hate me; I knew it was too good to be true." She said sobbing into Neville's chest.

"Eve shh, it's alright they're not going to hate you." Neville assured his sister. "Remember what Aragon and Legolas told you and what Haldir himself even told you when you told him of your fears before you mated, they think it's a blessing in this dark time, something to give them hope, something to motivate them like nothing else can. Just like it did for Remus when Dora was pregnant with Teddy. They love you Eve and nothing will change that, in fact they'll become even more protective of you and will love you even more and I'm sure Teddy will be thrilled to find out he's going to be a big brother."  Evelina nodded and could now agree with her brother now that she had calmed down but Neville knew nothing but mate's reassurance would fully get rid of the doubt. "Now, why don't we go and find and find them and you can tell them the good news." He said as he led her back towards the Fellowship.

Aragon, Legolas and Haldir smiled as they came into the clearing but their smiles instantly turned into frowns of concern when they noticed the tear tracks on her face. "What's wrong Meleth-nǐn?" has he wrapped his arms around as if he could protect her from whatever had caused her such turmoil. Evelina noticed out of the corner of her eye that Neville had gone to check on Teddy for and smiled gratefully at him when he mouthed that he was still asleep. Turning back to her expectant and worried mates she gathered her courage. "I'm pregnant." she told them "Two months pregnant." She waited expectantly for them to start shouting at her but she was surprised and relived when all three of had large smiles spreading across their faces and each in turn kissed her passionately on the lips.

"That is tremendous news my love." Haldir said as he kissed her lovingly on the forehead. "It gives us hope that in these dark times life can still be born. Of course all of us will do our best to keep you and the baby safe and even if it is not mine I shall love him or her as my own as I do with Teddy. But why are you so sad my love?" He asked confused, his silver eyes dimming ever so slightly. "You don't hate, do you? Any of you?" Evelina asked unsurely as she looked at each of them in the eye.

"Of course we don't Lina. You have given us so many precious gifts in such a short time not only do we have you, which none of us thought we'd ever find our One but you have also given us all an extended family with yours, our own very own son and another miracle that grows within you." Legolas told her sincerely with such love and devotion that Evelina couldn't help but believe and hugged each of them in turn.

Later that evening the four of them explained to Teddy that he was going to be a big brother but they would love him just the same as they did now when the new baby or babies came, unlike some other children who get jealous when their parents are going to have another baby Teddy was ecstatic. After hugging and Evelina he ran off practically jumping for joy as he shouted at the top of his voice and telling anyone who would listen that he was going to be a big brother.
