~Summer~

I ran to the courtyard at the sight of riders gathering. The black clouds above rained down, drenching everything. Elrohir walked down the stairs in armor and a helmet tucked under his arm. The rainwater dripped off his armor as he walked over to me. Elladan wore matching gear but his cape was royal blue in contrast to his twin's red one. Zephyra stood beside her mate with one cradling her slightly expanded middle. She and Elladan kissed before he mounted his horse. He reached down and squeezed her hand with inaudible words. Elrond was waiting at the front of the squad.

"Be careful," I said as Elrohir hugged me.

"I will I promise."

"Find her."

"I won't return until I do," He kissed me. "I love you."

"I love you too," My voice cracked. I dried a few strays tears that leaked from his eyes. I watched as he swung into his saddle and rode after the troop following his father.

I noticed Zephyra rubbing her stomach nervously.

"They'll come back," I said.

She smiled at me, "I pray so."

The two of us ventured inside. We went to her and Elladan's chambers. Zephyra sat down in the chair by the fireplace. I sat across from her. I stared into the flames licking at the wood.

"Celebrian introduced me to Elladan," My friend said.

"Oh?" I looked over at the elleth.

"Yes. She came to Lorian to visit her parents. My father had just passed and my mother soon after. I had nowhere to go. I was young, not much older than you. Celebrian found me wandering one day. When she found out what had happened she invited me to join her caravan. Celebrian hired me onto her staff as one of her assistants. That's how I met Elladan. I was carrying a vase one day and I tripped. I dropped it. It shattered and spilt all over Elladan. I was mortified."

"I would die," I laughed.

"I nearly did!" She said with a laugh. "I was so sure Elladan would kill me. Instead he apologized! It was my fault and he apologized!"

"Sounds like him," I chuckled. "What happened next?"

"Well, He started hanging around the gardens more when I was working with Celebrian. One day he asked if he could see me privately. We fell very much in love and were married the following week."

"You knew him for two weeks and then married him?"

"Yes," She smiled. "I knew the moment I looked into his eyes he was the one."

I smiled to myself.

"I think a wedding might be on the horizon for you as well," Zephyra said slyly.

I cocked an eyebrow.

"Since Elladan has the twin bond with Elrohir sometimes I can little slivers of Elrohir's thoughts if he's sharing them with Elladan. He's so in love with you. It's honestly adorable."

"It scares me," I said. "I'm just afraid that if he found out it would change things."

"Found out what?"

I froze at what I had just done.

"What is it Summer?"

"It's nothing," I insisted. "Just my own insecurity."
