Legolas is Thranduil and Elrond's son, as are Haldir, Rumil, Orophin, Elladan, Elrohir and Arwen. Legolas is three thousand years younger than his other siblings and is considered a miracle. What will happen when he is stolen from his family only to be found years later during the war? Possibly future slash...let me know what you think on pairings.

Outside of the halls of healing stood the very anxious family of Thranduil and Elrond. Though they are not related by blood the twin sons and daughter of Elrond, considered Thranduils sons as brothers. Their Ada's bonded when they were all mere elflings, both of their mothers abandoned their children, leaving them in the care of the single fathers that eventually met and fell in love. As one the group of elves paced the corridor of the healing room that housed their labouring father Thranduil. Although it was known that Thranduil was a maternal elf, after two thousand five hundred years of trying for a child they gave up. So it came as a great shock to the family when they found that Thranduil was with child: their miracle child.

It had been barely three hours since their Ada's labouring pains began and since then they have been anxiously awaiting the news of their new brother or sister. Haldir, the eldest of the siblings, left the room for a minute leaving five curious siblings staring after him. In less than a minute he returned carrying a long bench over his shoulder. He placed it down on the floor and motioned for his siblings to sit while he went to retrieve another. Soon enough they were all sitting opposite the door staring at it like they were willing it to open to allow them entry to their Ada's.

Another hour passed by and the only sounds to be heard were the grunts of pain from inside he healing ward until finally the sound of a new born babe was heard throughout the corridor. Smiles spread across the faces of all of those waiting for news. Without waiting any longer Haldir stood up and knocked on the door. "Ada?" He questioned.

"Come in." Was the answer.

Without any hesitation the door was pushed open and all six of their children ran in to crowd around the bed, staring at the sleeping bundle in their fathers arms. Arwen had tears streaming down her face as she took in the scene on the bed. Both of her ada's were cuddling up to each other and staring lovingly at the precious bundle that they held together. It was the bundle itself that made her weep for joy.

"Oh Ada!" She muttered "A more beautiful babe, i never did see." With that she reached out a hand to stroke the side of the babes head. It was at that moment that a leaf floated in through the open balcony to land ontop of the babes head. The deep blue eyes of the child opened to see what it was that disturbed his sleep. A draft of wind made the leaf float down the childs face irritating it's nose.

"Achoo." The baby sneezed causing the occupants of the room to chuckle and stare in awe as the leaf landed in one tiny hand. In no time at all the hand closed around the leaf and held it close before snuggling back into it's 'nana' for some sleep.

Elrond looked at the babe and then looked into his husbands eyes, asking a silent question through their bond. "Children, meet your little brother. Legolas Greenleaf."

~~~~~~~~############################################~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It had been many months since young Legolas was born and already he was the most spoilt baby in the whole of middle earth. The worst offenders being Galadriel and Celeborn, who considered Elrond to be their son more than Celebrien their daughter after her disappearing act.

Legolas's brothers and sister are constantly surrounding the bundle offering protection, comfort and security to the babe. It never ceases to amaze them how every time Legolas's sees them or their Ada's he smiles like he hasn't seen them in months. One smile from the child lights up the whole of Rivendale, all the elves knew that a dark time was approaching, but while they were looking at this miracle child they can make themselves believe that they will survive unscathed. This peaceful time lasted for many years, until the darkest day of all settled around Rivendale, and their miracle was stolen...

A/N I know I shouldnt start another story without finishing some of the ones that I have already started, but I couldnt resist. This has been in my mind for years!
