Part 16

Well my dearies, we have finally come to the end. Love of Another is finally coming to a close. I hope you all enjoyed the story, it is my first fic and I will definitely be writing more. Hopefully some originals will pop up. And hopefully I might see some of you reviewin them maybe? :p

Megan: Thanks for all the lovely reviews. I don't know why she had to die, but I suppose that's just the way the story was intended to go. No she didn't have cancer, they weren't really sure what she had, it was just a disease that caused a lot of pain and kind of broke down her strength. Hope that makes sense. :)

Azurfairy: Thank you for that beautiful review. Your suggestion was perfect, it had already crossed my mind actually but your review puts it into much better words than I ever could. Thank you. :)

Lady Katanya: I know I know, he ain't smilin, but hopefully he will do after we've left him. :) Thank you for all of your reviews!

Egyptianecho: Hmm, I'm not planning on him having another lover, it's possible, but I don't think he wants one just yet, he wants his memories and his child. Of course I will help you with your story, if you wanna email me and give me some details I'll be glad to help. Thank you for all the reviews and emails and everything else. :)

Wintercherry: Ahh, my faithful friend from the beginning. Well, it's finishing. And I will race you to the keyboard to see who can upload the next story first- muhahahaha. :p

Liana: Ooooh- you are reading right from the beginning. Lol. I hope you are enjoying it. You will get a shock when you reach chapter 14. :p Thank you for the reviews and lovely compliments. :)

Lanfear- Good good you are not mad at me anymore- what was much better? The fact that there was a letter waiting for him that ripped his insides out with grief? Cor- you sure know how to recognize good things.:0 You're reviews are always weird my dear, forget the 'getting.' :p

The end is nigh.

One last thing, I would love to have one last review from all of you, telling me what you thought of the whole story, or whatever. You don't have to, but I would be really happy if you did. :)

Epilogue

'Here lies Fahrwen- our beautiful princess. Wonderful friend, mother and love. May you always rest in peace and sparkle among the stars.'

"Where shall I put it Daddy?"

The young girl tugged softly at the elf's hand, a single red rose sat in her palm.

Legolas pulled it gently from her grasp and set it down in front of the plaque. He smiled as he noticed the first stems of the rose bush they planted pushing through the earth, next to the stone.

He sat on the ground and pulled the little girl into his lap.

"Is there anything you want to tell Mummy? Why don't you tell her what we did today?"

The little girl looked up at him,

"We went to the.."

She frowned.

"Cris, crisss, cr?" She asked Legolas. "Christening." He answered, smiling.

The girl nodded.

"We went to the krissening, Auntie Arwen and Uncle Aragorn had a baby! They said you and Daddy will the be the godmummy and goddaddy, and I'm going to be its cosin! I made them a big card with roses on it. Daddy helped because the petals kept coming off, but it worked in the end- didn't it?" she grinned up at Legolas.

He chuckled to himself,

"Yes. What did Auntie Arwen teach you how to do?"

"Ooh!" she bobbed up and down excitedly on her father's lap, "she showed me how to make daisy necklaces!"

She reached up to her neck and pulled off a ring of daisies, neatly strung together. She reached forward and placed it lovingly next to the rose.

"I made one for you. Auntie Arwen said you always loved flowers."

She was quiet for a moment.

"I miss you Mummy."

Legolas' heart ached as he pulled the little girl into his arms. Closing his eyes tight to hold back the tears.

"Fahrwen?"

Arwen's crystal voice rang through the trees. Suddenly her head appeared round the trunk of a tree,

"Fahrwen? Would you like to come and have some supper?"

The little girl glanced up at Legolas,

"Can I go?"

"Of course."

The little girl jumped up and ran over to the Lady-elf.

Arwen looked expectantly at Legolas.

"Oh,"- he said, "I'll be along in a minute."

She smiled and turned away.

Legolas sat in front of the plaque, reading and rereading the engraved elvish. 'Our princess.' She certainly was that.

"I love you." He said softly, then he stood up and began to walk silently back to Elrond's house.

Legolas went on to lead his people and daughter to Ithilien, who was growing to look more and more like her mother everyday. That was where he found his strength, though sometimes he did not realize it. Fahrwen lived on in their child, in those eyes, in that hair, and in that heart.

Legolas had his own love fairytale, beautiful and magical. And even though this story doesn't really have a 'Happy Ever After,' it does have something, perhaps even a little more special. 'And he loved her, till the end of his days.'
