I don't own any of Tolkein's characters, I only wish I did. Nor do I own the setting or the language or anything else in this tale except for the baby girl, and her mother.

Okay, so, basically, I got this idea when I watched the Two Towers a few days ago. Haldir is always portrayed in the film as kind of a cold sort of Marchwarden, devoted to his job. And I wanted to write something a little more unconventional. And I was thinking during the movie 'All of the Rohirrim have family they're worried about, what about Haldir?' Neither the movie or book mentions any family of his, so I decided to play around with the idea.
I started writing it, not really thinking too much about putting it out anywhere. But after toying with the idea for a while and planning out a storyline, I decided that I was really amused by the idea of Haldir getting a baby dumped on him. I didn't like the idea of a wife, because when I look at Haldir, I don't see him wanting to get married, because it's a commitment that could potentially interfere with his job as a Marchwarden. So I thought an unexpected child would be better.
This isn't an AU fic. It will fit with the movie-line, and it won't play around with anything. Except maybe some of the characters who are drastically more malicious and knifing in the first few chapters of this than they EVER would be in the book.
And yes, some of the characters are a little unconventional in personality. But I like it so far. It will turn out good, I promise! Hope you like it!
