Elrond came immediately when he heard what had happened. He rushed into the room, shooing out everyone, including Landion. A worried husband was not what Alya needed right now!
Landion paced outside the bedroom door. Oh, please, for Alya's sake if nothing else, not the baby!

Alya looked at Elrond, her eyes pleading with him, "What's wrong?" she asked, hysterical. She was feeling very light headed from the loss of blood. "Elrond, my baby," she said.

Elrond took one look at all the blood and feared the worse. A quick examination confirmed his fears. "Alya . . ." he said, not knowing how to say this. "You've lost too much blood. I'm sorry."

She began shaking, "No, no it can't be, check again," she said, before going out cold.

Elrond shook his head sadly. Whatever had caused this had run its course. Nothing to do now but clean poor Alya up. He came out of the room to break the news to Landion.

Alya woke up several hours later. She was tucked in bed. She sat up, looking around. She felt empty.

Landion was there, a sad smile on his face. "Alya, you're awake!" he said. At least he hadn't lost his wife! He didn't want to think about the bundle Elrond had taken away.

Alya looked at him confused. It all came flooding back to her, and she began to cry. She shook her head, "Why?" she asked, "What happened?"

Landion shook his head. "Elrond doesn't know," he said. "But he suspects poison."

Alya looked at him, shooked, "Who would have poisoed me? Oh Eru, WHY?" she cried. She looked away for a moment. "What was my baby? A girl or boy?" she asked, her voice barely a whisper.

Landion hugged her to him. "A boy," he whispered back. "And, Alya, I don't know. I don't know! And it scares me."

She cried into his shoulder, not wanting to think about it, but not able to take her mind off it. She just lay there crying into Landion's shoulder.

He tried to soothe her, but eventually just let her cry. Finally, she exausted herself. "I just thank Eru that you're fine," he said to her.

She looked at him, she didn't. She wished she had died along with her son. But she did still have Landion, and Ithilwen. She layed back down, "I'm going to sleep now," she told him, "Good bye," she said, falling asleep instantly.

Landion shook his head sadly, and kissed her forehead. "Sleep well," he said, then pulled up a chair to await her waking.
