Disclaimer: sadly on my part.I do not own lotr.but wouldn't it be cool if I did!!!!

When the couple finally reached the clearing Arwen laughed and fell onto the grassy bed. She closed her eyes and sighed as the slight breeze ruffled her hair. Aragorn then said.

"I want to tell you something."

"Hmmm?" Arwen replied through closed eyelids, content at feeling nature all around her. Slowly she opened her eyes to find Aragorn leaning over her, "And what would that be?" Aragorn smiled and brushed the back of her hand across her cheek,

"You look beautiful." Arwen blushed and turned away,

"Estel-" He bent closer to her, aware of her shyness,

"Arwen," he said cupping her cheek and turned her face to look at him, "I say it because it is true, not to win your heart." She pressed a kiss to the palm of his hand and held it against her cheek,

"You already have my heart."Aragorn smiled as he leaned closer, till his lips were a breath away from hers,

"And you have mine." he spoke before kissing her gently. He held her face in his palms as he felt Arwen's small hands on his back as she slowly shifted her body so that she was completely underneath him. He opened his mouth to her as her tongue slipped inside. Aragorn could feel the desire in his heart growing to be closer to her. He slowly pulled away, resisting his urges-but only an inch or so. Aragorn gave her a smile and rubbed his nose against her own, drawing a giggle from her swollen lips. He rolled on his side, pulling Arwen with him so they lay side by side in the envelope of each other's arms.

Arwen closed her eyes and sighed. She felt Aragorn hold her close and breathe in the scent of her hair. She smiled into his neck when she heard the soft sound of his voice as he sung quietly to her. They slowly sat up as the fireworks set off, and they sat there content. Aragorn sat in the grass, holding Arwen in his embrace as she leaned back against him, watching the fireworks, listening to Aragorn sing to her and feeling the touch of his strong arms as they caressed her hands and held them. When he finished singing he gently leaned in and kissed the side of her head.

"Your father really knows how to put on a fireworks show." He spoke as a burst of light flashed in the night sky. Arwen turned her head to face him,

"Estel, as much as I know you meant no harm. Can we not speak of my father right now? This time is for us." She smiled at him to assure him that she was not angry. Aragorn brought his hand up to stroke her face as a shower of silver light shone on Arwen's alabaster skin as another firework exploded. She had never looked so beautiful,

"Arwen, your father will find out sooner or later. We cannot keep this secret between my mother, Maranwe and us forever. I do want your father to approve of our love." He paused for a minute before saying, "Though we both know that he wont, he will disapprove." He watched a slight frown appear on her face as she remembered her father despised the fact that she may love a mortal. Aragorn instantly went to heal her injury, "But do you know what I will tell him?" Arwen shook her head as he then spoke, "I will stand before your father and say, 'Lord Elrond. I am ready to spend the rest of my life with your daughter by my side. Nothing means more to me in all of Middle Earth and beyond but her. Your daughter will receive the most respect and everything she desires. My heart belongs entirely to her, because-" he looked deep into her eyes and spoke strongly, full of passion, "Because I love her." Arwen's eyes went huge, unsure of what she just heard, "Arwen-I love you." Aragorn said.

Slowly a huge smile went to Arwen's face as her heart soared above every mountain on Middle Earth. "Oh Aragorn! I love you too!" she took his face in her hands and kissed him firmly on the lips, knocking a surprised Aragorn to the ground. A few moments later she pulled away and gazed into his eyes. She brushed a finger across his face and kissed his nose, "I love you." She murmured. Aragorn grinned,

"And as much as I love you. You are in the way of my fireworks." Arwen gasped and played hurt,

"You say you love me and yet you wound me so?" She watched his lips curl upwards as he said,

"Well then we compromise. I'll fix your wounds and then you let me watch the fireworks." He tilted his head and pressed a quick kiss to her lips, "Agreed?" Arwen nodded and returned the kiss as a way of sealing their pack,

"Agreed. But to tell me my lord, how do you plan on healing my wounds?" she then took in a sharp breath as Aragorn suddenly placed his hands above her hips.

"Well, with the use of my talented ranger skills, "Aragorn said mockingly, "Your 'wounds' are mostly here." He then smiled devilishly, "So they can be healed by-" his voice trailed off as his eyes sparkled.

"Aragorn-" Arwen spoke warningly. He simply winked at her and began to tickle her, "Aragorn! Stop!" she shrieked, as she squirmed in his embrace. Aragorn laughed heartily and seized is playful tortures when she rolled off him to his side, "Aragorn," Arwen panted, "Haven't you tickled me enough today?" Aragorn smiled thinking back to today events before Maranwe had found them in Arwen's room,

"Well it depends for if the need arises, for now I am done, and I can watch the fireworks with the most precious star in my arms." Arwen flushed appropriately and snuggled against him, she draped an arm across his chest and whispered,

"I love you." Aragorn pulled her closer to him as a burst of blue shining fireworks went off. He held her hand in his own and whispered the three words back. A little while later the fireworks ended and you could hear the applause of Imladris in the valley below. Arwen sat up from Aragorn's embrace and stroked his bearded face,

"Come my love. We mustn't keep Maranwe waiting for long." Aragorn's eyes pleaded for her to lie back down,

"Just a few more minutes, I want to give you something." A puzzled Arwen lay down by her loves side again,

"What for?" Aragorn cupped her cheek with his palm. Instinctively Arwen reached up and held it against her face. The ranger smiled and said,

"For it was exactly one year ago today that you and I stood on Cerin Amroth and proclaimed our love for one another. One year ago today I knew I would spend the rest of my life," his blue eyes shone deep with passion and adoration for the person before him, "with one woman." He then pulled his hand away from her face and slipped the Ring of Barahir off his finger, "I want you to have this, as a symbol for my everlasting love to you." Arwen choked back a sob as he slid the ring onto her delicate finger and kissed it, "I love you Arwen." Arwen smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck,

"And I love you Aragorn, forever." She bit her lip as Aragorn stroked her hair, "Thank you Estel, I will treasure this gift forever, it will never leave my finger."

Slowly Aragorn pulled back and stared deep into the Evenstar's eyes, they shone with tears of joy and sparkled like the stars above. He leaned towards her and pressed a gentle kiss to each of her stray tears and then a long lingering one to her lips that made Arwen swoon with happiness.

"Now we can go." He whispered. Arwen smiled and took his hand as they stood and began to head back down the path.
A few minutes later they reached the fork where Maranwe stood. Turning to face them she said,

"Did you enjoy the show?" Arwen nodded,

"Yes." Aragorn said, "Thank you-for-" he stuttered, not sure how to express his gratitude to her. Maranwe laughed,

"It is my pleasure. You two don't have much time to yourselves, I only want to help." Aragorn grinned and nodded and the three headed back down the hillside. Before they went back out into the open Maranwe grinned and ran back up the path. Aragorn gave Arwen a puzzled look,

"What was that about?" Arwen pressed herself up against him and said,

"She's too embarrassed to be here when we say our goodbyes." She brushed her hand through his hair and let it linger on his shoulder. Aragorn held her face in his hand and smiled,

"Yet they are not goodbyes, just goodnights." He smiled again and said, "Goodnight my shining Undomiel."

"And goodnight to you me handsome Estel." She paused a moment before saying, "Amen mela lle." He brushed her cheek with his thumb,

"Amen mela lle." He said before dipping his head to gently capture her lips in a passionate kiss. Arwen pulled away a few moments later and smiled sweetly, turning to the path she called,

"Maranwe you can come out now." Aragorn laughed as a sheepish Maranwe came around the corner.

"I-um-forgot-something on the hill." She stuttered. The couple grinned,

"I am sure." Arwen laughed. She squeezed Aragorn's hand one last time and kissed his lips quickly. His eyes sparkled with an unknown mischief. Arwen gave him an eyeing glance before he went out in the open to find Gilrean. She sighed wondering what Aragorn was up to as she felt Maranwe come stand beside her.

"Did you take my advice and tell Estel your true feelings towards him?" she asked. Arwen smiled,

"Not before he proclaimed them to me." She turned to her friend, "He loves me." She held up her hand with the ring of Barahir on it, "He really really does." Maranwe's eyes widened,

"Arwen, is that an engagement-"
"No." Arwen spoke simply, "It is a promise ring. That we will always love each other." Maranwe hugged Arwen, happy for her until a thought drifted into her head. Pulling back she said,

"But Arwen, your father knows that the Ring of Barahir is Estel's. If he sees it on your finger-he'll know." Arwen gave her worried friend an assuring smile,

"Then maybe the Valar are telling us that it is time for him to know." Uncertainty still remained on Maranwe's face,

"But-"

Arwen hushed her, "It will be fine." She smiled to herself, knowing what Aragorn would say to her father when that time arrived, "Aragorn and I will always love each other." Maranwe nodded but she was still unsure, "Come on Maranwe." Arwen said as she stepped from the woods, "Don't you want to hear what happened?" she said with a sly look. A huge smile broke out on Maranwe's face as she completely forgot all worries and ran after her friend,

"Yes! Tell me everything as soon as we get to your room!" she paused before saying, "You're lucky, I was this close to spying on you." Arwen's mouth fell open as they walked up the hill,

"May I inquire what the point is in that foolish act? I tell you-" she stopped short as they reached the door to her room. On the ground before it was a piece of folded parchment, bending down to pick it up Arwen examined her name written on the front. Turning to Maranwe she said, "Its another note from Aragorn."

"Already? You said goodbye to him only a few moments ago."

"He must of run by here to drop it off before going to his own quarters." She turned to the paper in her hand and unfolded it, reading to herself, 'My beloved Arwen, after this night I know that in the future there will be a day where we greet the sun together. I love you Arwen. Yours forever, Aragorn.' She smiled shyly as Maranwe asked her what it said. She handed the note to her friend and as Maranwe read Arwen noticed her door was already partly open. She turned back to Maranwe and watched her give her a sly look.

"Hmmm, greeting the sun together?" she spoke, "Now wouldn't that also mean spending the previous night together as well?" Arwen scowled and snatched the letter from Maranwe's hand,

"He means after we get married." She said. Arwen took a quick glance in her window as something caught her eye, unknown to Maranwe. Maranwe grinned and nodded,

"Of course Estel meant that," she then said under her breath as Arwen opened the door, "If you two can keep your raging hormones under control." Arwen sighed,
"Well for that remark you'll have to wait until tomorrow to hear what happened. I am tired and will be retiring for the night." She slipped quickly into the doorway to block Maranwe's view of her room

"WHAT!!! YOU SAID YOU'D TELL ME!!" Arwen grinned,

"I'm the princess, I can do what I please." She said playfully, "I'll tell you in the morning Maranwe goodnight." Maranwe let out her breath, completely oblivious to why Arwen was in such a rush to go into her room,

"Goodnight to you too Arwen." She then turned and began to walk up the hill to her own room. In Arwen's darkened room the elven princess sighed happily as she felt Aragorn's strong arms wrap around her waist.

"It's a good thing you saw me before Maranwe came in love. Then what would we tell her?" Arwen giggled and spoke,

"I have no idea." She turned around in his arms and pressed a kiss to his lips enjoying the happy moment.
