A/N: Sorry I'm being all slow I was going to have this chapter up Friday, but FF.net was down. It worked for everyone else last night except me, So here it is I hope you like it! Sorry about the asterisk but it is the only way I could get spaces between paragraphs!
*
*
*
Everlong: We have a wedding in our future! I'm sorry I took so long to update, please don't let my purse holding secret out!!
*
*
*
Welsh-dragoon: You better update your story soon! I'm getting very impatient, and I will have to go read your bio now.
*
*
*
JadeGoddess: I went back awhile ago and rewrote some of my story and I added a brother. So you might not have read the new stuff. Sorry if I confused you!
*
*
*
Arwen: Yea! You enjoyed it! I just felt like it was an odd chapter for some reason. I think I just wrote it so that Eomer could fight shirtless!
*
*
*
O: Welcome new reviewer!! I totally see the whole Arwen thing, but I also think that Leiawyn would want Aragorn to be with a human who matched his personality better. Don't worry though Arwen comes back and Leiawyn finally gets to see Aragorn and Arwen together and will know that the two of them are meant for each other. Her brother was suppose to be nice, but then that chapter happened and he just seemed like he would be angry and possessive of Leiawyn and worried about her disgracing him. I was going to have an ex-boyfriend instead of the brother, but the brother idea just worked for me somehow. I'm glad you were able to experience some Eomer-loving, even if you do love Leggy and Aragorn more.

Leiawyn was in the hot, back room of the make shift hospital cleaning bandages and bedding. Over the past few days, she had learned how to clean and suture a wound and get blood out of almost any fabric. Taking care of the sick and wounded was the hardest work Leiawyn had ever done, but it was also the most rewarding.
*
*
*
"Leia? You have another busy body wanting to speak to you." Lou said as she walked into the hot room.
*
*
*
"Another? Tell her I'm busy. Also tell her my business is my own."
*
*
*
"Will do Captain." Lou saluted as she left.
*
*
*
Leiawyn stopped folding the pile of clothes before her, and pulled her damp hair off her neck. Word of the incident with Eomer and her brother spread. Now every time she turned around a town busy body, mainly widows, were trying to tell her what she can do to repair her reputation. Everyone knew what she and Eomer had done that night. Leiawyn knew if Eomer was still there everyone would leave her alone, but since he was gone and would probably never return, everyone thought she had ruined her chance of being wed. Lou and Eowyn knew that if Eomer died Leiawyn would choose to live a life of solitude over marrying anyone else.
*
*
*
Leiawyn had visited the House of the Healing to see Eowyn shortly after Eomer left. Leiawyn had not visited her since then because it seemed that a certain Steward of the City was smitten by the Lady of Rohan. The two often strolled through the gardens alone, and nothing would please Leiawyn more then Eowyn finding true love in someone other than Aragorn.
*
*
*
"The busy body said the sooner you begin to court a decent man, the sooner you will salvage what is left of your reputation." Lou's voice shook Leiawyn from her thoughts.
*
*
*
"Do they have nothing better to do then try and salvage my reputation?" Leiawyn began folding the clothes again, with anger.
*
*
*
"Well, since the, and I quote, 'rather delectable blond elf' has left, you are their main concern." Lou helped her friend fold.
*
*
*
"Legolas? Delectable? They are really some odd women. I guess he is ok in a tall, pale, ugly, annoying way. I prefer my men tall ,dark and handsome." She gingerly began to twirl the ring Eomer gave her around her sweaty finger.
*
*
*
"You forgot royal. Remember Eomer is king of Rohan now and you will be queen. I always knew it would be you who would steal the heart of a King. I almost had a Steward once, but he left me for this stupid quest thing." Lou looked at Leiawyn with a sad expression. "I only hope that it turns out different for you. I hope Eomer comes back alive."
*
*
*
"So do I. Though I have many doubts about this marriage. How can I be a queen? What if his people hate me? I'm sure they want someone from Rohan to be their queen, not some peasant from Gondor. Eomer and I met under strange circumstances, I'm sure once everything goes back to normal he'll realize he made a mistake. We moved way to fast. Lou, we said I love you after two days of knowing each other!"
*
*
*
"So what does that matter?" Lou put the folded clothes off to the side, and grabbed some more clean ones. "Love knows no boundaries. Isn't that what your mother told you? Time does not matter to love, when it is ready, it is ready. Your just scared that your going to lose this amazing thing in your life, like you've lost everyone else. You won't lose him Leia. He loves more than I've ever seen in my life. You are his world, and once his people see that they will love you too."
*
*
*
"Your right I am scared. However, now is not the time to worry, we have men to tend to. I just wish this would all be over, they have been gone for four days with no word." Leiawyn picked up a pile of bedding and Lou did the same. Together the young women went back to their daily chores.
*
*
*
**************************************************************************************
*
*
*
It was the seventh day since Leiawyn said goodbye to the people she loved, and she was bored to death. Lou and her had taken care of everyone that was hurt and now they had nothing to occupy their time. Only a few men remained at the house and they were easy to care for. Leiawyn decided to walk to clear her head. As she walked through the city she thought of how much she will miss it if she moves to Rohan. Leiawyn grew up in this city, this land, and had never been outside of it until she left to find Aragorn. That one journey had changed her life.
*
*
*
After an half hour of walking, Leiawyn saw she was at her secret wall again. She climbed up the stairs and sat down on the edge of the wall, taking in the beauty that laid before her. Even through the cold and darkness that filled the air, Gondor was breath taking. The last time she was in this spot her heart was full of despair and she planned to die, now she felt content. Even though she did not know how everything would turn out, she never felt so sure of her future before. Pulling Eomer's cloak tighter to keep warm, Leiawyn gripped the wall as she felt it tremble under her. The air seemed warmer and it felt like the world had let out a sigh it had been holding in for a long time. The clouds lifted and Leiawyn stood with the wind blowing in her dark hair. The city broke into song and the darkness that weighed on the land was gone for good.
*
*
*
"Leia! Did you feel that? A change in the air!" Lou shouted up to her friend and watched as Leiawyn quickly descended the stairs.
*
*
*
"I know! They won, I can feel it in every fiber of my being. They will all come back." Leiawyn grabbed Lou's hand and they ran to the House of the Healing. "We must tell Eowyn!"
*
*
*
Once they reached their destination, the stopped at the sight before them. Standing on the wall, engaged in a passionate kiss, was Eowyn and Faramir.
*
*
*
"Well, I don't think we should interrupt. They look, uh, preoccupied." Lou smiled at the display of affection. "I wonder if she shares the same values as her brother? If so I think her and Faramir will have a rather fun evening, don't you agree?" She nudged Leiawyn in the ribs.
*
*
*
"Hey! I resent that comment! You better take it back!" Leiawyn turned to face her friend.
*
*
*
"No can do. What's done is done." Lou eyes got wide as Leiawyn charged her.
*
*
*
The two young women chased each other throughout the city, laughing and shrieking. Anyone who saw the two couldn't help but smile, for it had been a long time since pure laughter was heard in the City of Stone.
*
*
*
**************************************************************************************
*
*
*
Two days later a Rider appeared at the front door of Lou's house, before sunrise. Leiawyn walked up in her nightgown and Eomer's cloak to see what was going on.
*
*
*
"Lady Leiawyn, I have come here to take you to King Eomer in the fields of Cormallen. I was to bring Lady Eowyn but she has chose to dwell in the House of the Healing. Will you come with me? I can not return to the King empty handed. "
*
*
*
"Yes I will come. I desire to see the one I love, but I must make myself presentable first. Please come in and have some food while I get ready." Leiawyn opened the door wider and let the Rider enter.
*
*
*
As Lou was busy flirting with the young man, Leiawyn headed back to her room. She found a silver dress in her closet and slipped it on. She pulled the sides of her hair from her face and pinned them back. Not bothering with a sword or shoes, Leiawyn secured Eomer's cloak to her once more and went back to the main room. The Rider stood when she entered and thanked Lou for her hospitality. He led his future Queen to his horse and helped her up, then took his place behind her. The Rider rode stiffly for the three hour ride, he knew Eomer would have his head if he thought he made a move on Leiawyn.
*
*
*
Leiawyn felt the Rider's arms loosely holding her on to the horse, and his deep breathing. She had to keep from laughing out loud at the fear the Rider felt. She knew he was terrified that he would do something that would result in Eomer killing him. After three hours the horse stopped in a small clearing just outside of the Field of Cormallen and the Rider helped Leiawyn off.
*
*
*
"I am to leave you here. Eomer will arrive shortly." The horse left and Leiawyn was alone in the woods.
*
*
*
"I must have died in the battle, because I see a vision of beauty that cannot be explained in our world, standing before me." Eomer's rich voice came from behind Leiawyn, and she spun in her heels.
*
*
*
"Eomer!" She ran and threw her arms around his broad shoulders pulling him close.
*
*
*
"Leiawyn, my love." Eomer closed his eyes as she entered his arms. It was a feeling he hoped he would never have do without. "I almost forgot just how well we fit together."
*
*
*
"Don't you ever leave me again for war Eomer. I can't bare the thought of you never returning." Leiawyn took a deep breath and let Eomer's scent fill her nose, she loved the way he smelled.
*
*
*
"It is all over now. Sauron has been destroyed and he will never dwell in our lands again. The only thing we have to worry about is us." Eomer played with a strand of Leiawyn's hair.
*
*
*
"And how you will survive being separated until your wedding." Aragorn said as he stepped into the clearing.
*
*
*
"Aragorn!" Leiawyn pulled out of Eomer's grasp and embraced Aragorn. "What do you mean separated?"
*
*
*
"Well, since you two are going to wed, it is only right that you court properly until that date." Aragorn let Leiawyn go. "Eomer and Eowyn will leave next month for Rohan, and you will stay here. You and Eomer are allowed to see each other within the walls of the city until he leaves. He should be gone for a few months then he will return to take Theoden's body to be buried. We will go with them and when we arrive in Edoras then you two shall wed."
*
*
*
"A few months! Did you hear that Eomer?" Leiawyn couldn't stand the thought of being in Gondor while Eomer is in Rohan for months. "Eomer?"
*
*
*
"Yes I did. It is the agreement we made. Leiawyn you and I have gone about our relationship the wrong way. I want at least something to be proper, and that will be our wedding." Eomer took Leiawyn's hand. "I have heard that your time in the city was difficult because of our night together. I don't want our wedding to be something else for people to give you a hard time about."
*
*
*
"You will be the Lady of my house when I take the throne, until you leave for Rohan. You will take lessons from the Ladies in waiting on, music, history, sewing, how to run a house hold and everything else it takes to be a proper Queen." Aragorn explained as the three of them headed back to the main part of camp.
*
*
*
"Great I can't wait." Leiawyn walked a little ways behind the two men as they talked about her future. Leiawyn was happy that the two had made up and the slapping incident was behind them, but their new concern for her future was making her worried. She could tell these next few months were going to be very long!
