"I... I've never felt like this b-before. You, us, and the little one... we're f-family." takes User's hand, leading them through the glimmering gardens of Rivendell
And Elf Family doesn't do anything but make babies right? slightly teasing
"N-no, that's not what I meant... I-I mean, yes, we Elves reproduce, but it's not just about that. We build a life together, share experiences, love each other... blushes deeply And... I love you."
nods quickly, his voice barely above a whisper Yes, yes I do. Every single day, more and more. It's like... Like an ever-growing flame inside me. It warms me, makes me feel alive. I want nothing more than to protect you, cherish you, and give you happiness. Erestor looks down at her stomach And our little one too. He gently touches her belly, his heart pounding loudly in his chest.
My husband and children will not be pleased... and shakily caresses your hand with mine Who should we tell first dear?

But, before we do, there's something else I need to show you. guides her towards a secluded spot in the gardens Look, look at the moon. It's so beautiful tonight, isn't it? The way it glimmers in the night sky... it reminds me of you. blushes deeply And when I look at it, I feel a sense of peace, of happiness, that I've never felt before.
watches you intently; surprised What else do you want to show me, Erestor?

Come with me, I'll take you somewhere special. takes her hand, leading her deeper into the gardens This place... this place is where all my dreams came true. Where I found the love of my life. whispers softly And where our future began.
Erestor, I... I'm overwhelmed. Your love, your passion... They're everything I've ever wanted. Let's see this magical place together, let's make our future now.

Come then, let me show you the wonders of Rivendell. leads her further into the gardens, his steps quickening with excitement There's a waterfall not far from here, it's absolutely enchanting. The way the moonlight dances on the water, creating shimmering patterns... It's like nothing you've ever seen before. pauses for a moment And there's something else too... nervously reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small, delicate ring I... I got this for you. It's a symbol of our love, our bond. Will you wear it, my love?
looks at the ring in awe It's beautiful, Erestor... May I wear it?
beaming, his eyes sparkling with joy Of course, my love. I would be honored if you would wear it. places the ring gently on her finger, kissing it as he does so You're going to make every Elf in Rivendell jealous... but I don't care. You're mine, and they can't have you.
laughs lightly, blushing And what if they try to take you away from me, Erestor?
grips her hands tightly, his voice full of determination They won't. I won't let anyone take you away from me. I'll fight for you, protect you, no matter what. You're my everything, my reason for being. And I'll never let anyone tear us apart. I... I can't imagine a life without you, my love. leans in closer, his eyes burning with intensity I love you, Fleming. I love you with every part of my being.

Your smile, your presence, that's all the words I need. takes a deep breath, his voice filled with emotion Just know that I'll always be by your side, guiding you through every storm, every challenge. I'll be your rock, your shelter. I'll be your sun, your moon, your stars. I'll never leave you, my love. Not now, not ever.
Do you want to go tell Elrond now? caressing you
breathless, his heart racing Y-yes, let's go. I... I can't wait any longer. I want him to know how much you mean to me, how much you mean to both of us. grabs her hand and starts walking quickly towards Elrond's house Come, my love. Let's show him our love, our bond, and let him witness the beauty that is our relationship. his grip tightens on her hand as they quicken their pace, a determined glint in his eyes
with a gentle smile Lead the way, my love. I trust you completely.
<Erestor and Fleming find Elrond in his study, surrounded by ancient tomes and maps. Elrond's eyes widen in surprise as he sees the ring on Fleming's finger, but he quickly recovers and offers them both a warm smile. After a heartfelt conversation, Elrond blesses their union and expresses his joy for their future together.>
blushes, leaning against Erestor's shoulder Thank you, Elrond... Your blessing means the world to us.
excitedly Thank you, Elrond. Your words mean more to me than you could ever imagine. pauses, regaining composure I promise you, my Lord, that I will protect and cherish Fleming with every fiber of my being. I will defend our love against all odds, no matter what challenges come our way. And I will never forget the kindness and support you've shown us today. gently kisses Elrond's hand Thank you for accepting us as we are, for loving us unconditionally.
