"An hour?!" she said, surprised. "Well, then." She smiled. "May I walk?"

He shook his head. "Not this far along," he told her. "Just stay sitting."

She nodded. "Alright," she said.
Suddenly, the door opened. "Nana, may I ... what's going on?" Alagos asked, eyes wide.

Glauron looked back and gave a weak smile at his son. "Please go get your aunt," he told him. "Your mother's in labor."

"Labor? Doesn't that mean ... ?"
Just then, another contraction hit. "Hrrrrnnnnnnnn," Ithilwen moaned, arching her back. Alagos' eyes widened, and he ran off.

Glauron smiled and stroked her hair. "It will all be over soon," he whispered.
Elrond nodded and checked again, smiling. "Definatly soon."

Suddenly, Alagos came back at a dead run. "We're here," he said, breathless. Behind him was Nimmir and Laur.

Nimmir walked in and smiled. "I'm here, Ithilwen," she smiled and kissed her forehead. "Should the twins and I wait outside?"

"Doesn't matter," Ithilwen said. "Either way." She then saw Alagos and Laur. They were both staring at what was going on, with wide eyes. "Umm, do you think they're old enough ... ?"

Nimmir took a deep breath. "I'll take them to the living room," she whispered and sighed. "Come on." She ushered them out.

They allowed themselves to be ushered out, just as Ithilwen had another contraction. Elrond was right, it was close. She instinctively began to push.

Elrond nodded. "Good girl," he whispered. "Just keep pushing."

She did so, pushing hard and fast. Every time a contraction hit (and they were coming fast now!) she pushed as hard as she could. Suddenly, there was an intense pain, such that Ithilwen cried out. But her cries mingled in with another's.

Glauron smiled as Elrond picke dup the small baby girl. He cleaned her up and handed her to Ithilwen.
