a/n: Okay, this is the revised version of Chapter Six. I listened to some
of my reviewers (and myself) and put the sex scene out. Hope you like it.
Chapter Six
Some way outside the Shire a group of rangers was partly sitting around a low burning fire, party sleeping and partly on watch. Only two of them were a little bit away from the camp watching towards Hobbiton and listening to the faint sounds of the party.
A smile crept onto Phoenix's face and she turned to Aragorn. "I bet you that my father is enjoying that fireworks the most of all. He is like some little boy playing with his toys", she added with a laugh. Aragorn joined in and moved closer to his lover. He wrapped his arm around her waist and Phoenix laid her head on his shoulder. "Why couldn't every day be as quiet as today?" she whispered. "Do you regret leaving Imladris for being a ranger?""Aragorn asked. Like him Phoenix also grew up in the safety of Rivendell after her mother had died at child birth. Phoenix shook her head and answered: "No, never. Then I would almost never have a chance to see you."
Instead of answering, Aragorn took Phoenix's head between his hands and gave her a gentle kiss. She responded as gentle and smiled at him after the kiss. "You always know how to cheer me up", she said quietly. "Sure, I know you long enough by now, don't I?" Aragorn answered.
Suddenly he started laughing. "What?" asked Phoenix. "Nothing. I just remember seeing you the first time. You were like half a year old and my mother wanted to show me the other child of the Dunedáin living in Imladris. And while we were visiting you, your father was also there and you weren't hungry and threw all the good food at him. That was really hilarious!" Phoenix nodded, grinning a bit. "Yeah, what elevn-year-old boys think is hilarious ..."
After some littel bickering they were now again lying in each others' arms watching the stars as the fireworks were long over already. "Don't you think we should get some sleep?" Aragorn asked quietly. "We have to be awake in merely some hours." When he didn't get an answer, he noticed that Phoenix had followed his advice already and was sound asleep. Aragorn smiled down at her lovingly and soon after followed her example.
a/n: To Jenna, thanks for your review. I know that Phoenix isn't quite Tolkienish but I just love that name, so I'm going to keep it. Thanks for reminding me not to get to Mary-Sueish (what other criterias are there?). For Aragorn's age, I just can't stand having him that old ...
