(Emma's POV)

I woke up to the sound of the phone ringing. Next to me, Boromir was still fast asleep. It was beginning to get dark outside and I wondered who could be ringing this late. When I strained my ears, I could hear Billee talking. Although I couldn't hear what he said, he sounded a lot better. I was glad of that; I knew how hard his brother's death was for the whole family. Billee's father had always been a kind man, who loved his sons very much, but after Marcus died, he fell apart. That's when he started drinking and knocking Billee around. It's really sad because I know how much Billee loved his dad. But after what he did to Colan, well Billee has told me himself that he can never feel the same way about his dad now. Don't blame him myself.

"That was Jaime" Billee said quietly, sticking his head around the door. "She sounded a little happier"

"That's good" I whispered. "What did she say?"

"Gandalf will teleport them back" he said with a shrug. "In an hour or so. And she asked if you were aright"

"What did you tell her?"

"I said you were asleep" he said quietly. "How are you feeling now, anyway?"

"Still tired" I admitted. "I guess that's what pregnancy does to you"
"Oh well, it will only be a couple of months now" Billee said with a grin. "And then we'll have another little "A very special little baby" I whispered. "A miracle baby"

"Bet he'll get spoilt rotten if Boromir has anything to do with it" Billee smirked. "And how about Boromir's parents? They don't know yet, do they?"

"No, they don't" I told him. "We're going to wait until after Kane is born, then Boromir is going to go up and tell them about it. He isn't sure that his father will completely approve, but he says that it doesn't matter as long as we are together"

"Right" Billee agreed. "Do you want some dinner? We're making soup of some kind. Legolas is cooking and Colan is helping him"

"Sure, we'll be down" I told him. "Just give me a minute to wake my idiot boyfriend up"

Billee gave me another smile and left the room, shutting the door behind him. I shook Boromir gently and kissed him as he started to wake up.

"Time to get up" I whispered in his ear. "Jaime and co are coming back soon and Legolas is making some soup. I told Billee we would be down"

When we got downstairs, Legolas was already dishing it up. Colan was completely covered in the stuff, but at least he seemed happy.

"Something smells good" Boromir commented as we sat down at the table, still holding hands. Legolas smiled and put two bowls in front of us. It did smell rather nice. It's just a pity it didn't look it. But after I tried a spoonful I realised that it was pretty good.

We didn't talk much, all of us too focused on eating. Legolas and Billee were taking it in turns to help Colan. I think we were all wondering how the memorial had gone.

After dinner, Boromir and I settled on the sofa, Legolas did the washing up and Billee took Colan upstairs for a bath. Suddenly Legolas gave a shriek and dropped a plate. I jumped, but Boromir just squeezed my hand.

"It's alright" he told me. "Jaime and the others must have just come back. Hey Lego" he called, raising his voice. "Take it easy mate. What are you trying to do, kill my future wife?"

I laughed, Legolas laughed, Boromir laughed. When Jaime came out of the kitchen, even she was smiling. And I could see what Billee meant. She did look happier, especially in her eyes. I knew immediately that something had happened to help her. I wanted to ask her, but she was busy dealing with Ria so I didn't say anything. I knew that she would tell me later.
