He turned around and his gaze searched his chamber for a sign of her - nothing. Thranduil sighed heavily and approached his bathroom. He opened the door and his eyes wandered through the spacious chamber. He sighed frustrated. His long strides brought him to his wardrobe which he opened forcefully. It was empty. Where was she? His balcony door creaked. A breeze had moved the door. She was outside! He walked fast towards the door and opened it fully with one swift move. The cold wind blew rain into his tense face and his glance fell on Baineth. She had wrapped a blanket around her body. Her knees were pulled to her chest and her chin rested on them. Baineth seemed greatly distraught. Thranduil sighed and stepped out onto the balcony. The rain soaked his clothes in no time but he did not care. She should not stay here. He knelt down next to her and caressed her cheek with his hand. She was cold and absolutely wet!
"You must not sit here. It's too cold for you in any condition." His voice was filled with concern.
Baineth looked up at him and sighed heavily "I would like to be alone for one moment."
Thranduil nodded in understanding "If you want this, I leave you alone. I promise it! But first come in and warm yourself." He did not wait for her agreement but picked her up bridal style and brought her directly in the bathroom. There he began to undress her. He removed first her blanket and then her dress until she stood naked in front of him. His gaze searched the bathroom as if in thought and he lead her over to a small stool which stood in the corner. Baineth sat down on it and he picked up a bucket, filling a smaller bathtub with the water from the hot pool. When the bath was filled, Baineth came over and lay down in the tub. Thranduil brought the stool and sat on it. He watched her silently. Neither of them spoke a word. Baineth closed her eyes and Thranduil could not help but watch her. When her skin was deeply reddened by the hot water, Baineth started to relax. Thranduil inhaled deeply and spoke.
"I admit that I was too furious. If Elrond was in my place, he would do the same."
Baineth opened her eyes and looked at him. His face bore the same stubborn expression which it always had when they discussed something and Thranduil believed that he was right.
"Would he chose to keep someone against his will in Imladris?" She asked.
Thranduil nodded eagerly "An ellon makes other decisions than a elleth. You can't judge me for what I have done. I have acted according to my nature. Your nature as female is different than mine."
Baineth scoffed but said nothing.
Thranduil continued "Whether you agree to me now or not, I will not change my decision."
Her silence angered him slightly. He decided to accept it and moved the stool closer to the bathtub. Baineth gaze followed him as he cupped water in his palm. Thranduil began to wash her hair, ignoring her gaze for the entire time. His fingers ran through her wet hair as he rubbed the soap into them. Baineth could not help and close her eyes. His touch brought her great peace. A smile crossed his face when her expression relaxed. When her hair was washed, he massaged her scalp. Thranduil sensed the inner peace which filled her being and ended the massage. For a moment he cupped her cheek with his hand and his thumb caressed her face. Then he sat up straight and waited for her to open her eyes. When she did so Thranduil sighed softly.
"I only wish to protect you and our child. It would not be possible for me to live if anything happened to you." He lowered his gaze "And I can't bear the thought to be separated from you."
Baineth stared at him through her large eyes and sighed "I understand. But I don't like the way you treated Elrond and I like your anger even less."
Thranduil nodded "Will you forgive me, nevertheless?"
She furrowed her brows and looked at him through her beautiful large eyes "Yes.!
Thranduil smiled relieved before he glanced at her worriedly "Should I go now?" Thranduil asked and hoped, that Baineth would say no.
Baineth eyed him silently for a moment before she reached out to him. She held his hand with her own "No. I don't wish to be alone. I want you to stay with me."
He smiled and remained with her.
The king tapped the base of his goblet on his desk. The somewhat aggressive tapping sound penetrated the silence of his study. It might not have been the best idea, to invite Legolas tonight.
But in the morning the king's mood had been different. Now he was annoyed. He hoped that Legolas would not come. To Thranduil's dismay his son knocked on the door. Legolas walked inside and Thranduil knew that this conversation would be not pleasant. The prince stopped before the desk of his father. His stance was solid and his arms were folded firmly over his chest.
"What makes you think that you can keep Elrond against his will here?"
Thranduil arched a pissed brow at his son. How dare he talk to him with such a tone?
"Elrond, as well as his whereabouts are non of your concern, my son. Despite he has not uttered his desire to leave my halls."
Legolas disagreed and shook his head agitatedly "You have no right to forbid Elrond to return to Imladris. You may be the king, but you can't rule over the Lord of Imladris in such a manner. You are destroying our relations here in middle earth. Galadriel will arrive soon and you better change your mind before her arrival otherwise...."
"Otherwise what"? The king's voice dripped with poison when he rose from his chair "Otherwise what my son? What can they do? Nothing! They can do nothing! They are helpless. Galadriel will preach to me and then what? What can she do? Nothing!"
Legolas stared at the king wide eyed, ready to reply but his father spoke first "They can't do anything. And I won't change my mind about your concerns. No matter what you say, no matter what you do! Elrond stays! This is my final decision!"
Legolas interrupted him "But you do not have the right ..."
"I have EVERY right! I am the king!" Thranduil's thundering voice echoed through his study and silenced the prince "I have every right my son. I am the king and I am the husband of Baineth and the father of the child within her womb. I have every right to make arrangements for their safety. Even if this means that Elrond remains with us!"
Legolas stood motionless. He was not sure whether he should say it, or whether he should better be quiet. "Ada, but...".
Thranduil shook his head emphatically "There are not buts!"
He approached Legolas slowly "Tell me my son, if you were in my place, if you loved someone, would you risk her life? Would you sent her away to Imladris? Would you expose her to unnecessary danger?"
Legolas mind was flooded with images and thoughts. He thought of Tauriel and he knew, that the answer to his father's question was no. He saw his father, fierce and determined as he tried to protect what he loved. The king made Elrond remain in the kingdom to protect Baineth. Legolas mind wandered back to Tauriel and he knew that he would do the same if need be. He would even lock up Tauriel in the dungeons if he had to. The princes gaze showed more emotions than he was aware of. Thranduil knew that Legolas was thinking of Tauriel and it almost made him mad with anger. Legolas was not aware of that. He shook his head and said
"No. I would not endanger her."
He gazed at his father doubtfully "I understand your point. But our relation to Imladris and Lothlorien will suffer because of the decision you have made."
Thranduil scoffed and shook his head "So what. I will not risk Baineth's life to ensure good relations with Elrond and Galadriel."
Silence fell between them and Legolas reflected upon his father's words. Thranduil studied his sons appearance and with a motion of his head towards the door he said "You can leave now".
The prince could not contain how surprised he was "What about the reason why you had called for me? We were going to speak about other things."
The king's posture stiffened and he gazed at his son with sternness "This must wait."
Legolas nodded and turned around to leave the study. Thranduil watched his son leave and sighed. Legolas seemed to understand his decision but he was not happy about it. The disappointment in his son's face was very obvious when he had sent him away. Thranduil still owed Legolas an important conversation.
The next evening Thranduil found Baineth in the bathroom. He watched her for a few minutes unnoticed. Baineth looked over her shoulder at him. He sat down on the stool and could not take his eyes off her. She looked so attractive when her skin was flushed. He remembered the day when she had been in his bathroom for the first time. He licked his lips and got up from the stool on which he had been sitting. He began to open the buttons of his tunic and said
"I hope that you don't mind to share my pool with me?"
Baineth smiled and swam to the farthest end. Her elbows rested behind her on the edge of the pool while she created small waves with her outstretched legs. Thranduil reached her quickly and his expression became calm. He spread her legs and stood between her thighs. He placed his large hands on her waist which appeared more shapely than before. His grip confirmed that she had gained weight. Just a little but still enough for him to notice. Thranduil leaned closer and kissed her lips briefly. She bit on her bottom lip and he smirked at her
"Do you remember your first bath in this pool?"
Baineth nodded and yelped when he lifted her up. He sat her on the edge of the pool and rested her legs on his shoulders.
"Wait!"
Her body stiffened but he grabbed her legs before she could remove them from his shoulders.
"What are we waiting for?" His voice was smooth as silk. She failed to reply and he began to trail kisses up her thigh. He noticed how her lips trembled when he approached her womanhood. Thranduil placed one of his hand on her shoulder and pushed her slowly back against the wall. Baineth eyes shut and her mouth opened in a soundless gasp when she felt his hot tongue run through her folds. Baineth's hands ran through his hair and she grabbed it harshly when his tongue flicked over her pearl. Her low and sensual moans sounded through the bathroom and encouraged the king to go on. He rested his hands on her hips and his fingers dug deep into her flesh as his own arousal deepened. He circled her pearl with his tongue before he ran it down her folds. Then he pursed her pearl with his lips and sucked it in and out of his hot mouth. Baineth arched her back and her eyes widened involuntarily as he forced a orgasm from her body. Her legs shook and Baineth clutched his shoulders, pressing him to her. He smiled against her skin and kissed her left breast. Baineth body shivered. She rested her head against the wall and closed her eyes. Thranduil cupped her breasts with his large hands and his fingers played with her nipples. They were hard and rosy, ready to be pampered by him. He licked over them and claimed one of them with his lips, sucking and licking it. Her hands found his hair again and she pulled him closer to her. His mouth was hot and wet and it felt so good on her skin. His tongue ran through the valley of her breasts finding her other nipple. Baineth wriggled under his touch and began to slide over the edge of the pool into the hot water. Thranduil shifted his loins forward and Baineth slid down onto his hard length. She grabbed hold of his shoulders and stopped him when the head of his shaft had penetrated her inner sex. His eyes were lust filled and hooded while tremors of lust ran through his entire body. Baineth smiled innocently and his smirk disappeared and was replaced by a predatory expression. Before she could speak, he drove into her by pushing her against the wall of the pool. Baineth's moan was overruled by his own moan which was deep and aggressive. Thranduil backed her against the wall and took her standing up. His thrusts were deep and fast. She wrapped her legs around his waist and slung her arms around his strong neck. They moaned together as he thrust them with immense power towards their release. His blood roared through his veins and he tried to hold back his orgasm. Then her female muscles gripped him and he buried his shaft deeply within her when he climaxed, letting his seed erupt within her. His chest pressed firmly against her full breasts and his heart stuttered as he tried to calm his breath. Baineth let go of him and found herself wrapped up safely in his embrace. He held her close and they remained like this for a long time. Finally Thranduil loosened his grip on her. He placed a chaste kiss on her forehead and nuzzled his nose into her wet hair
"We should go to our chamber before anyone misses us."
All she could do was nod. He lifted himself out of the pool before he reached for her hand, pulling her out. Thranduil dried her wet skin carefully before he dressed her in a morning robe. His glance followed her when she left the bathroom and began to dry himself. She looked slightly different. A tiny bit fuller at her waist, hips and breasts, if that was possible at this stage of pregnancy. A insignificant change which made her all the more attractive to him. He smiled to himself when he walked inside their chamber. His eyes scanned the chamber and to his surprise he found her on the bed. His suspicion was soon confirmed when he heard her calm breath. Baineth was sleeping soundly, covered by many warm blankets. He sat down on the edge of the bed near her and caressed her forehead tenderly which was the only part of her face which was visible. He blew out the last candles in the chamber and laid down behind her, wrapping his arms around her body which was warm and soft. She must have been so exhausted that she had not even dressed herself. He kissed the tip of her ear and her body twitched. Thranduil rested his head next to hers and inhaled her scent deeply while he awaited the morning. She smelled different. He had noticed it a few days ago. Elrond had told him that it was normal that she bore a slightly different scent. After all she was not alone anymore. Not alone he thought and his large hand ran down to her tummy. He enjoyed to feel the energy of his child. It was truly a miracle. He wondered how she perceived their child. He was somewhat jealous that he could not experience their child first hand as Baineth did. But when he thought of the birth, he gave up such thoughts fast. Thranduil kissed her ear and held her close. Baineth would have to go through a lot of pain within the next year. But he would not leave her side.
Legolas knocked on his father's study and waited. To his surprise, the door opened immediately. The king approached his desk and sat down on his chair.
"I have spoken to Baineth already. I will leave the palace for a short while. She will be in the care of Elrond. I am riding for Erebor to pick up the necklace which I had ordered for my wife. While I am gone I want you to take over my duties. The council has been informed and they have received instructions accordingly. They will know what to do if unexpected situations occur. They will guide you if need be. See that the preparations for my wedding are in progress and await my return three days before the ceremony."
Legolas remained silent for a moment before he inhaled deeply.
"There is no need for you to ride to Erebor". He said
Thranduil arched an amused brow.
"I must ride to Erebor to pick up the necklace."
The prince took a few steps back and eyed his father with an tense expression.
"Ada, as I have said already, there is no need for you to ride to erebor."
Thranduil tried to analyze his son's expression. His mind began to wonder what his son's words meant. He straightened his posture and was about to speak, when Legolas raised his voice once more.
"The jewels which you sent to the dwarfs, lie safely within my chamber."
Shock spread over the king's face.
"How dare you?" Thranduil's voice dripped with venom as he took a few steps toward his son.
Legolas made his own motion and his face neared that of his father.
"How dare YOU? Once these jewels belonged to my mother. How can you dare to give them to another elleth? No matter what happened between you and my mother, you have no right to give away what was hers. I will not allow it! This is my last word!"
Legolas turned on his heel and left his deeply shocked father behind. The door closed and the prince stopped and stayed outside the study for a moment. He waited to see whether his father followed him. He did not do it. The prince's heart rejoiced momentarily before it sank in his chest. He began to walk towards Elrond's chamber.
"I know it hurts, but believe me when I say that you have made the right choice". Elrond said. He placed both hands on Legolas shoulders and tried to comfort him. He could not believe that Thranduil had given way. Legolas had been his last resource to change the future. Even if it was only a partial change, it had been worth it. Elrond had revealed Legolas the future.
The prince approached the small balcony which was attached to Elrond's chamber and looked out into the night sky. His heart ached but he had seen no other way. The dwarfs would have cheated his father. The rage of the king would have come to no end. Baineth would have suffered along with her child and the entire kingdom. Thranduil would have closed the gates. Tauriel would have remained in the kingdom. But she had to leave this kingdom quickly. Legolas would arrange this. No matter how much would miss her, he could not see her suffer. He would make sure that she would never meet the dwarfs. Even if this fate lay still many years ahead. Legolas was determined to change her fate. He sighed heavily and walked out of the chamber without another word. Elrond's gaze followed the prince and he sighed heavily when the doors closed. Legolas had done a noble deed. The prince had certain motives and Elrond knew that Tauriel was one of them. Legolas decision would change much more in the future than he expected. But Elrond had withheld this information. Not everything in the future could and should be changed.
