Not the end. There's one last chapter, when 'A new world' is over.

Ana smiled warmly, as her mother bounced the baby, cooing.
"What a handsome little boy you are, yes you are, you adorable thing you!" She cooed, as Uueanor gurgled in delight. "Wasn't it nice of Ana to baby-sit you?"
Beside her, a friend shook one of Ana's old rattles. "Isn't it sweet, how teenagers help their friends who make silly mistakes?"
"He was born like this?" Ana's mom asked, stroking the little stump where Uueanor's arm was missing.
"Yes mom."
"Naturedly? Not from drug use, and the baby lost a arm in the womb?"
"Mom, he just devolved in the womb, without an arm." Ana rolled her eyes. "His mother would die, before letting any of that crap get into his systam."
Lori, who shrugged and gave Ana a 'Mothers' look. And it wasn't just directed at Ana's mother.
"We'll be back later, ok mom? School supply shopping." Ana stood, and after a moment's thought, hugged her surprised mother. "See you later. And don't stress about going to your sister's for the weekend, ok mom? I have Grandma's number, I have Aunt Myra's number, I have your mobile, I have the emergency services, and the baby's mother and grand mother and... You have nothing to worry about. We got taught this, remember? Those darn electric babies?"

The quiet bungalow was filled with packages. And the sound of the occasional pop of bubble wrap, as the girls gave in, and popped it.
Beside them, Uueanor lay, biting a soft rubber duck.
"We're really doing this."
"I know."
"Is the letters ready?"
"Yea. And the photos." Ana sighed, and kissed the one of Uueanor, placing it on her coffee table.
They stood, and Ana slung Uueanor in a baby carry pack, on her back. Up and down, up and down, they walked. If someone had been spying, they'd have seen quite a sight. Two girls, one with a baby on her back, rolling packages down a hill, where they vanished into
bushes. The girls would leave, and return with bag loads more of packages and resume the rolling.
Finally, Ana rolled the last package down the hill. A new violin for Antonia, when not if, she came back, and new bows. And resin.
She turned to Lori, who looked back.
"Are we ready?"
"Easy for you to say, LADY Ana. You haven't got mutts around your feet!" Lori glared some at the leashes she held in her hands. "Only a little baby. Why TWO DOZEN?!"
"If they are too closely related and interbreed, the puppies will...have fifth legs...And stuff." Ana rolled her eyes. "Now quit complaining, and lets start?"
They threw a beach ball down the hill, and started to walk down. It vanished into the bushes.
"Lets go."
"Easy for you to say! MUTTS!"

Elrond raised a eyebrow in amusement, as he looked at Lori, surrounded by puppies. "A present?"
"Take them!" Lori snapped, giving the leashes to him.
"Some are gifts." Ana laughed, and took some leashes. "Some are for us. Did you get the packages?"
"Delivered to your home." Elrond nodded. "I'll have to finish up here."
Boromir eyed the dogs. "They are undergrown."
One of the dogs started to yap at him, and Lori grinned evilly, picking it up. "Some are ours."
Boromir's eyes snapped to her. "You must be joking."
"Nope!"
"Gods help us. They'll be breeding within the week." He got in the wagon. "Get in, Lori."
Lori grinned, waved goodbye to Ana, and got in.
Ana got in the other wagon, besides Figwit, who leaned over, and kissed her gently. "It was too long, Ana. Never return there, without me. I would curse my immortal life, and sit waiting for you for eternity, if it had to be."
Ana blushed, and gently cradled Uueanor in her arms. "Silly."
They started to Rivendel...
No ... not quite ...
They raced each other Rivendel.
