A/N: Well since so many of you wanted it, here is the sequel to The Princess Unknown. Now my warnings; as you know in the last chapter of TPU I mentioned Eldraion having feelings for Sírien, well this is their story. They do fall in love so there is to some degree incest. If you don't like it please don't read it. Also once again this includes MPREG, don't like it? Well don't read it. Ok for the important stuff, I do not own LOTR and never will. I do own any elves you don't know and the names of Aragorn's daughters since they were not given names in the books. ()()()()() Scene changes. Ok so…without further ado! ENJOY! - Naur
For The Princess's Heart
Chapter 1
A New Member of the Family
3 years later…
"Estel…when this…is over…run and run…very fast…for…I am…going to…kill you…" Legolas gasped through clenched teeth. Estel gulped knowing Legolas would do at least some of his vow to truth.
For the last nine months Aragorn and his family had watched as Legolas's stomach had grown full and round as this very moment drew near. Now he lay in a bed covered in sweat from his exertions.
"Sire, you may rest for a moment," The healer, Daeron Ringëril told him. Aragorn gave Daeron a grateful look as Legolas sank back trying to calm his breathing. Thranduil had sent the elven healer very soon after he had received word that Legolas was expecting his first child since his and Aragorn's union. Daeron returned his smile and handed him a washcloth to wipe off Legolas's forehead with.
"How will the child be born?" Aragorn asked.
"I will have to make a cut in the skin, about twelve inches long and remove the child. After that I will need to cut the cord attaching the two and then give the babe to you. Quickly I will stitch the wound I caused to Prince Legolas and then I will take care of the child," Daeron explained. Aragorn didn't like the sound of that but Daeron was the one that had helped with Sírien so he knew what he was doing.
"Legolas, you look beautiful," Aragorn whispered.
"Aw Estel that's so sweet…and maybe…uh…if I weren't in so much pain…I would care," Legolas spat. Daeron chuckled as he got his knife ready.
"Sire, I am going to give you a sleeping potion that will make you sleep for about two hours and is also a pain reducer," Daeron told him. Legolas opened his mouth to the cup pressed against his lips and drank the contents inside. Within ten minutes his eyes closed and his body relaxed.
"What now?" Aragorn asked.
"Hold him just in case he tries to move. I will try to be quick but safe," Daeron replied. Aragorn nodded holding Legolas's arms.

2 hours later…
Legolas awoke slowly feeling still very tired but at the same time he could sense there was something different about himself. Running over a mental checklist he realized that he did not feel his child's heartbeat anymore.
"Daeron! Estel!" He exclaimed trying to sit up but was quickly pushed back down.
"Rest easy my prince, all is well," Daeron whispered with a smile.
"But…the child…" Legolas gasped.
"Is right here my love, no need to panic. You have given me a healthy baby boy," Aragorn said with a smile shifting the child in his arms so that Legolas might see him. Legolas lifted his hand to touch the cheek of the babe but Aragorn did better than that, he placed the babe in the crook of Legolas's arm.
"He has your dark hair and my eyes…" Legolas smiled as the baby yawned and then stared at him.
"That he does now he needs a name. Least of all we call him, "he" and "him" his whole life," Aragorn chuckled as he cast a glance to Daeron who gave him a slight nod. With a smile he climbed into the bed beside Legolas and half lay, half sat with him gently stroking his lover's cheek. With a smile to himself Daeron excused himself but stayed just outside the door to hear the name that would be settled on for the child so that he could put it in his letter to Thranduil.

"Daeron? How does my ada?" Sírien questioned when he came out of the room.
"Prince Legolas fares very well my lady. You now have a new baby brother, whose name has yet to be determined but is about to be…let us listen," He smiled. She nodded and stood with him, her ear pressed to the door.

"So what shall we name this child?" Aragorn asked. Legolas stared at the babe's face thinking.
"Líndal Legolasion second prince of Gondor son of Aragorn," Legolas replied.
"Líndal?" Aragorn whispered testing to see if he like it or not.
"It means, swift foot," Legolas told him with a smirk.
"Swift foot? Why would you want to name our child swift foot?" Aragorn questioned.
"Perhaps it could be, I would hope that he would be quick?" Legolas asked pouting. Aragorn smiled, he could deny Legolas nothing.
"I love it. Líndal it is although I think for the most part we can leave off all those titles," He laughed. Legolas nodded as well.

Eldarion looked up from his pacing as the door to his room opened, Lothvain, Ireth and Rimendis all looked up and stood as Sírien came in.
"How is he?" Lothvain asked. In these past three years she had gotten very close to Legolas, her past uneasiness had long since passed and she loved him almost as much as she did her mother.
"My ada is just fine. It is my pleasure to bring you good news…we now have a baby brother named Líndal," She replied with a smile. Eldraion let out a cheer and they all looked at him.
"Sorry…I am no longer the only guy among such…uh…fine women and young ladies," He stammered with a sheepish smile.
"Right…when can we see them?" Ireth questioned.
"In a few more hours. Daeron said we should give them some time alone before going to see them," She answered. They all nodded and started dancing around singing a silly little song about their new brother.

King Thranduil of Mirkwood,
I am very pleased to write and say that you are once again a grandfather. Your son, Prince Legolas, has given birth to a healthy and beautiful baby boy. Both Legolas and the child are doing very well. The king and Legolas have decided to name the child Líndal. I hope this good news brings light to your heart my lord. I hope this does not anger you but I have decided to stay in Gondor with my prince in case he or the child need me. My best wishes to you, I will write again soon.
Daeron Ringëril

Ada - Dad
A/N: There is a debate on the meaning of Líndal. One person told me it means 'pool' the other, 'swift foot'. I used the cooler of the two. If anyone else thinks something different please tell me! Also! I am in the process of writing a pre-quel to TPU. It is called The Forfeit. Tell me if you want it! That line about Legolas caring, hehe. An ex boyfriend of mine called my friend and had her brake up with me for him (coughs) coward (coughs) well at the time I had a very bad case of the Flu. So when she called I said, "Well Lisa, you can call him back and tell him that if I wasn't so sick I might care." Hehe! - Naur
