*Haldir relaxed and smiled again, with a twinkle in his warm, deep blue eyes.*
"I am glad to hear that, Your Majesty. Nobody deserve that better than you."
*He hesitated for a moment, then asked quietly.*
"Did.... you have anything.... anyone.... specific in mind?"

*She grew quiet again, trying not to think of Leetah. She stared at the floor between them.*
"I...I'm worried for the sake of the mother and child."
*She added quickly.* "In case I should do so."

*Haldir looked at her, questioningly.*
"What mother and child? You have thought about someone special?"
*He took her hand gently, holding it between his warm, strong hands.*
"My Queen, if the kingdom depends on them, I have the power to protect them, as the Highest Commander of Your army."

*Tearbird nodded with a soft smile.*
"Well...what if...hypothetically, of course...what if I asked Leetah to do it?"

*Haldir looked at her with a puzzled look on his face.*
"But Your Majesty! Leetah is just a child!"

She's old enough.
*Tearbird colored slightly.*
"Well, assuming that it was a given, would you want me to adopt the child?"

*Haldir looked at her with a warm expression in his eyes, trying to hide the love he felt for her at that moment.*
"Your Majesty... My Queen. You are the head of the State. You are standing above anyone else. I am just a Captain. I can't tell you what to do or say. And I don't want to command over you in any way. You have suffered enough in your life."
*He looked deeply into her eyes.*
"And if I were lucky enough to be able to win your affection, or to marry you... I would do anything to see you happy. I will gladly give my life to see a smile on that lovely face of yours..."

*Tearbird's blush deepend at his honest words, but she did her best to be strong for Leetah and her people.*
"You would do anything for me? Then grant your blessing on Leetah to bear my heir."

*Haldir sighed deeply. He had noticed that Leetah had matured during Malefica's war. And he had promised his beloved Queen anything she wanted. He smiled sadly.*
"All right, My Queen. I will grant my blessing. I can't deny you anything. You know that."
*He looked up at her.*
"Who will you choose as the father of the child?"

It's not my choice....
"I'm certain that someone subible will present himself. She quite a catch."

*Haldir sighed again. He looked at the Queen, studying her face.*
"So are you, My Queen...."
*He said quietly.*
"Have you never thought about the possibility that you could conceive a child yourself?"

Of course I have. Don't be stupid.
*She turned her back to him. She didn't mean to be short with him, but her situation was frustrating.*
"I can't...there's just...it's so complicated."

Oh Tearbird... I'd do anything for you. You know that....
*Haldir looked at her with the sadness of the world in his eyes.*
"He doesn't deserve your loyalty, My Queen..." *he said quietly.*

"I know..."
*She took a step towards, him, lifting her hand slightly as if to touch him.*
"But...our people...I can't. I shouldn't..."
*She stepped closer still, their bodies nearly touching.*

*Haldir couldn't hide his feelings any longer. He took his beloved Queen gently in his arms, pulling her close to him.*
"Tearbird....." *he whispered, his lips only inches away from hers.*
