Someone knocked at the door, and Orlando being a womanly light sleeper, got up and opened the door. “Who’s this?” Orlando asked, rubbing his eyes.

“Well you’re a handsome man, is Megs in?” A woman asked with a little girl in her arms.

“Megs?” Orlando asked, a little confused. “Oh, Megan. I’ll go get her.”

“Can we come in?” She asked.

“Uh, sure?” Orlando replied. He tiptoed into Megan’s room and shook her awake from under her sheets.

“What the hell do you want?” She asked, pulling the covers over her.

“Well, I just, er, let someone in.” Orlando replied. She sat up, rubbed her eyes and gave Orlando a light slap.

“Bastard.” She replied. She walked out and saw the woman with the baby. “Muuuum.”

“Megs, darling, I was wondering why there was a young man in your apartment, but then I saw these others and thought ‘Viggo’s friends.’ So, I was about to give you the boyfriend degree.” Her mother replied.

Megan only grinned. “Mum, it’s quite early in the morning what are you doing here?”

Orlando came in from the kitchen. “Coffee Mrs. Hartl?”

“Oh thank you dear.” She replied, smiling at Orlando.

“I was wondering if you could take your sister Melissa for a few days. Your father and I have to do some business in Melbourne.” She replied. “I have all of her things actually with the bell boy.”

“Well, you’ve already made up my mind so on your way out just tell the bell boy to send them up.” Megan sighed, taking her light-haired sister into her arms. Her mother kissed Megan on the cheeks and then walked out. “Thank you ever so much for opening the door, Orlando.”

“Pleasure.” Orlando grinned cheekily. “And will you look at that? It’s sunny out.”

“So…I guess I’m going to go and extend my vacation with the hospital.” Megan replied. “Hold her.”

Orlando tried to hide his excitement. He loooooved kids, especially babies. “Alright. Here we go, come to your uncle Orly.”

Sean got up and shook his head. “Who’s baby is that?”

“Meg’s sister.” Orlando grinned. “Isn’t she darling?”

Sean laughed. “Yeah Orlando, we all know you love kids. Don’t squeeze her to death.”

After several hours of waiting for the guys to wake up and have breakfast.

“Making the trip back to NZ?” Megan asked.

“Yes, are you coming along?” Billy asked, now holding Melissa. It was ‘pass around the baby’ time.

“Yeah, I figure Vig needs to see his new cousin.” Megan replied. “Don’t know how my mom did this.”

“Well, Megs, when two people love each other…” Dom started. Megan threw a spoon at him as he laughed.

“Don’t start Monaghan, unless you want your days to be numbered.” Megan grinned.

They made it out to the airport and onto the airplane in a record time of four hours. They all chatted wildly on the plane ride back about Pete’s wrath that would come upon them because today was supposed to be the filming of the Rohirrim scene, along with Sean and Elijah’s many Gollum scenes, and the filming of Dom and Billy’s escape from the Orcs.

“He’s gonna kill us.” Sean resigned.

“He can’t kill us, he’s like a hobbit, Sean. Hobbits don’t kill.” Billy replied simply.

“Then he’ll just make us feel terrible.” Orlando replied, holding Melissa.

Viggo sat in the makeup chair when the door swung open. “Orlando, where the hell were you?”

“Didn’t hear of the storm in Sydney last night? Terrible flying conditions.” He replied, as his ears were prepped for his prosthetics.

“Where’s Megan?” Viggo asked.

“She’s with her sister Melissa. Melissa was cranky so I said she could go into my trailer to set her down.” Orlando replied.

“She’s brought Melissa with her?” Viggo asked, his face, covered in grimy makeup, lighting up with glee.

“Yeah, go on and see her if you like.” Orlando replied. Viggo flew out of his seat and ran into Orlando’s trailer.

“Megs! Where is she?” Viggo asked, it was an odd sight to see him looking so happy when he was dressed as Aragorn and…well, dirty.

“She’s sleeping, Vig.” Megan replied. “But she’s over there.” Viggo looked at his unbelievable baby cousin. “Trust my mum to have a baby right after I finish Medical school.”

Viggo laughed, but he couldn’t enjoy his moment because he heard the call to the choppers. “I’ll see you at nine tonight. I can take you and Melissa back to the hotel too.”

Megan sighed and decided to occupy herself on ‘Annals of Pediatric Medicine’, taking out her highlighter and a notepad. The door to the trailer swung open. Orlando was fully geared up as Legolas, blue eyes, blonde hair and all. “Megan…er, I just came to check on you.” She noticed he blushed. “And Melissa. Is everything all right here?”

“We’re fine, Orlando.” Megan replied, smiling at him. He made room for his bow to get in through the door and went to look at Melissa. “Really, we’re fine, Orlando.” She went to lead him away, the helicopters were revving up.

“Well…now that I know you’re alright, I’ll have to go through the difficult job of leaving such a lovely lady.” Orlando replied, catching Megan’s eye.

“Come with me tonight. I’ll get you from your room, but for now…” He ended his sentence with a sweet, but fleeting kiss on her lips.
