"MARANWE!" Aragorn shouted as he burst through the door. Everyone in the council looked up, startled by their kings' sudden and loud entrance.
Maranwe stood and immediately recognized the fear in Aragorn's eyes. Running around the table, she feared the worst, "Estel? What happened?" she asked hastily.
"Arwen-the baby, the baby is coming." He finally got out.
Maranwe turned to the council, "This meeting is dismissed." She spoke. Quickly facing Aragorn she said, "Estel, go back to Arwen. I will run and fetch her nurse. We will be there within the minute. Now go!"
Aragorn ran back to the bedroom and knelt by Arwen's side. He took her hand and gazed down at her. His wife's face was flushed and she was panting, "Arwen, love. Maranwe is fetching your nurse. Everything is going to be fine."
She nodded shakily as he contraction ended, "Aragorn-" she said, "I love you."
Aragorn smiled and leaned down and pressed his nose against hers, "I love you too melamin." He bent down and kissed her gently just as Maranwe and the nurse ran in.
"How are you feeling my lady? Ioreth asked as she washed her hands in the water basin on the bureau.
"At the moment? Tired, but I can imagine within a few minutes there shall be pain again?" Arwen spoke gently, trying to keep a light mood.
Maranwe had a huge grin on her face as she approached the bed, "This is it. Isn't it Arwen? The day we have been talking about since we were children."
Arwen gave her longtime friend a weak grin, "Yes it is." She then turned to Aragorn and squeezed his hand, "And I wouldn't dream of any other man being the father."
Aragorn smiled at this. However, he could not understand how everyone was in such a cheerful mood. His heart was pounding, his palms were sweating and he could feel his body shaking. He was a nervous wreak. How the three-woman in the room were so mellow? He might never know. His attention was then drawn back to Arwen as she grabbed his hand as another contraction built.
As Arwen began to pant, Ioreth knelt at the foot of the bed, "good my Lady, good. Very lucky indeed, you shouldn't be in labor for more than a few hours."
Aragorn felt his jaw drop.' A few hours?' he thought. Turning to Arwen who was doing her breathing exercises, he could not imagine her having to be in this pain every few minutes for hours to come. "Is there any way to make this process quicker?" he asked nervously.
"Estel, come here." Maranwe spoke from the other side of the room. Aragorn gave Arwen an encouraging smile and went to Maranwe.
"Yes? What is it?"
"You're shaking." She spoke quietly.
"Of course I'm shaking! By this days end I will be a father. Who wouldn't be shaking?" he let out frustrated.
Maranwe placed a hand on his shoulder, "Estel. I can only imagine what you are feeling right now. But you need to hide your fear as much as you can right now, Arwen needs you to be string for her at this time."
Aragorn glanced behind him as Ioreth helped his wife with her breathing. How he longed to take the pain away from her and just hold her body close to him.
"She may appear to be strong." Maranwe continued, "But she will need your strength to help her through this."
Aragorn nodded in gratitude and went back to Arwen's side. He brushed his hand over the top of her head and kissed her forehead, "Be strong my love."
Ioreth went back to the foot of the bed and a few moments later, after Arwen's contraction ended Ioreth turned to Aragorn and said.
"Excuse me your Majesty." Aragorn turned to her, "I wish that I wasn't the one to have to tell you this, but I fear I am going to have to ask you to leave."
Maranwe immediately spoke before Aragorn became enraged, "it's needed paperwork that every family needs to fill out when a child is born." She spoke quickly, "Faramir has all of Gondor's records in his office." She gave him a reassuring smile, "It won't take long at all. And I will send for you immediately if anything should happen. Aragorn slowly nodded, understanding that it needed to be done.
Ioreth stood from the bed, "It shall be a few minutes until her next contraction. We will leave you two alone until then." Her and Maranwe bowed and silently left the room.
Aragorn brushed his hand through her hair and spoke softly, "I will be back as quickly as I can, I will not miss the birth of our child for al of Middle-Earth."
Arwen gave him a weak smile as he held her cheek, "I know Estel."
Aragorn looked deeply into her eyes, "This will be easy." He spoke quietly, " I'll be back shortly and then you will be able to show off to Maranwe and Eowyn that you were the first to give birth."
Arwen laughed lightly and smiled. There was a short pause before she spoke, "I love you Aragorn."
"I love you Arwen." He then leaned down and covered her lips in a passionate and loving kiss. Just then, Ioreth and Maranwe came back in. Aragorn stood and grabbed Arwen's hand.
"Come back quickly Estel." Arwen spoke softly.
Aragorn nodded, "I will.' He then slowly started to back away tracing her fingertips until he could reach no more. Then silently turned and left the room.
I could stay awake, just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life
In this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment
*~forever~*
Where every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure
I don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'll miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
