I do not own The Lord of the Rings or any of the characters that I used in
this story.
I hope you all enjoy my version of Eomers life after the war. Review and
flame if you think it's necessary. Thanks.
Some times being ruler is hard and tiring. The great wars were over. There were no orcs left. Or if there were
any they had hidden away in the shadows of mirkwood or the misty mountains. Sauron was destroyed. The
ring was gone. King Aragorn ruled Gondor justifully. The people loved him and his beautiful wife Queen
Arwen. Legolas and Gimli still were gone on their adventures. I hadn't seen the halflings since they returned
to the Shire. My sister lived with Feramir in Gondor. I was alone. And it had never been so hard.
Eomer Pov
I watched the dawn slowly creep over the forests spreading light over snow covered fields. I sighed and
watched my Smokey breath float up and disappear. The wind blew my cloak up and away from my legs.
Goose flesh covered my limbs as the cold touched them. I sighed again and then went inside. A servant was
making my bed and another was pouring me fresh water in my basin. I walked over and waited for him to
finish.
"Thank you." I said when he had finished and backed away. I rinsed my face, then dried it on a towel.
"My lord Eomer." A man said rushing into the room I looked at him. "There is a young lad come from
Gondor to train with you. And a letter from your sister." He told me holding out the letter. I pulled it from
him eagerly and opened the seal. I quickly read over its contents.
'My dearest brother,
I have written to inform you that you are now the uncle of twin sons.
Feramir is very happy. As I hope you are. Please feel free to visit any time to see them.
The oldest, born first, is Theoden after our uncle. God rest his soul.
And the second we call Denethor after Feramir's father. God rest his soul as well. I pray that you approve of these names. I miss you very much.
Please come and visit. I have not seen you for nigh onto two years.
Feramir gives you his best wishes. I love you brother.
Love always your sister, Eowyn. '
I gently folded the letter and put it in a wooden box that held all the letters from my sister and her husband. I
carefully shut the lid and stared down at it for a moment. Thinking how I missed her. Her strength. Her
surety. I sighed and turned to the man who had brought me the letter.
"Vrandrun." i said. "Please form an escort for me. I am to visit my sister in Gondor." Vrandrun nodded and
smiled and quickly left the room. I turned to the servants who were standing around.
"Get my things together to go." I said then I too left the room.
"Eomer tell me." Eowyn said as she bumped a baby on her knee. Theodin slept peacefully in my arms.
"When are you going to find a pretty maid and settle down?" I looked at her sharply.
"I am King, Eowyn."I told her. "Kings do not settle down." She rolled her eyes and sighed.
"But you can still find a girl and marry her." She countered. Feramir walked into the room and gave Eowyn a
kiss. I looked away not wanting to intrude on their special moment. Also not wanting to see something that
I did not have.
"Feramir. Do you not think that Eomer should find a wife and settle down?" Eowyn said to her husband.
Feramir looked at me guiltily.
"Please don't bring me into this." He said. I laughed.
" That is a good answer." I told him."Remind me to send you a gift." Eowyn laughed.
" If he answers I have a better gift to give then any you could give." She said looking at me for half the
sentence then turning her eyes on Feramir. She raised her eyebrows at him. He stared down at her for a
moment then he turned to me.
"You know what." He said. "I agree with Eowyn. You should find a wife. In fact I'll help you look." Eowyn
laughed I smiled. It had been a funny comment but it hurt to much to make me laugh. Seeing their love
showed to each other so clearly on their faces made the pain agony. I stood and walked to a window
overlooking some of the houses and markets of Gondor. I rocked the baby in my arms and thought of how
much I would like to have a son of my own. No a daughter. I would like to have a daughter. Eowyn handed
Denethor to Feramir and stood and walked up behind me.
"Eomer." She asked laying a hand on my shoulder. "What is it?" She asked, concern filling her words. I
turned from the window and looked at her.
"Give thanks everyday for what you have Eowyn." I told her. " For you have no idea how hard it is without
them." She smiled sadly and put her hand on the babies head.
"Eomer." She said quietly not looking at me. "You and I are no different. I was alone for four years. I had
Theoden yes but. I was still alone. You were off fighting and I was stuck at home with wormtongue and a
crazy old man. I ,too, longed for a loving touch. Some to love me. I have those things now. And I do give
thanks every day for them. But I know what you are feeling." I smiled at her.
"Eowyn." I said lifting her face with a finger. "What would I do without a sister like you." I said. She smiled
at me.
"Nothing." She said. I laughed and pulled her to me in hug.
"Excuse me but that's my wife your hugging." Feramir said teasingly. Eowyn hugged me back for a moment
then she turned and walked to Feramir and hugged and kissed him. I sighed and looked out the window
again. I had to get out of here.
"Eomer." Aragorn said pulling me to him and hugging me." It is good to see you. How are things in
Rohan." He asked. I smiled.
"So so." I said. "Since the war has ended I have nothing to do but train ignorant boys." Aragorn laughed.
"I as well have felt idle." He said. He turned and we walked.
"Tell me Eomer." Aragorn said. "Have you found a young lass yet that tickles your fancy?" I sighed.
"Have you been talking to Eowyn?" I asked. He laughed.
"As a matter of fact." He said. I groaned. "She came here yesterday to tell me to try and convince you to
find a woman."
"Please I don't want to talk about it." I said. Aragorn nodded. We walked in silence for amoment and I knew
that Aragorn had something else to say to me.
"Uhgg." I groaned." Fine. What is it?" I stopped walking and turned to him.
"Eomer. You will not live forever." He said putting a hand on my shoulder." You need heirs."
" I know that." I said.
"That's not all." Aragorn said. "Eomer. You are a very good friend of mine. I would like to see you happy.
Marry. Have lots of children to fill that big house of yours. You will not know happiness until you wake up
next to a warm soft body in the cold of morning." I looked at Aragorn and saw that he was serious.
"Is that all that makes you happy?" A feminine voice behind Aragorn said. Aragorn smiled and turned.
"My one true love." He said walking up to Arwen arms extended. "You know that is not all." Arwen raised
an eyebrow.
"Dearest please try and understand. I love you more than anything." He said. Arwen raised up on her toes
and kissed him then she dumped someting into his arms.
"Take Elvren." She said. Aragorn turned to me and I saw that it was a squirming child. Arwen smiled at me
and turned and walked away.
"Aragorn I must go. " I said turning." But it was good to see you. Tell Arwen that I send her my love."
Aragorn nodded.
