It has been exactly sixteen years to the day since we were wed. This very day that I am writing this is our anniversary. Every day we have spent together has been just as amazing as I imagined. We have had only one son, and soon to be the heir to the throne. His name is Eldarion. We have also had four daughters, Tarí, Celebriän, Nienna and Larien. There is also another child on the way. Everyone says that Tarí looks most like me. She has the same beauty, as Aragorn describes it. Eldarion very much resemble his father. The same strength in his eyes. The same handsome face. Celebriän, who was thirteen, looks the most human out of the girls. The rest could easily be mistaken as elves, but Celebriän could never. Her face has a strange subtlety about it, but still very beautiful.

Today has been very peaceful. Aragorn and I had nothing else to do besides spend time with each other, and that was my favorite job to do. Celebriän and Eldarion suprised us by agreeing to watching Tarí, Nienna and Larien for the day. As soon as Celebriän told us what they were going to do, Aragorn and I went strait back to bed, though there wasn't much sleeping going on. After doing a few things alone we left for an anniversary feast and party. It was most fun to watch our children, thinking mostly of the future, and our sixth child. Nienna, who was the youngest at only three, loved to follow around Tarí, who was only three years older than Nienna. It was so funny to see her want to do everything like her sister. Eldarion and Larien were the closest out of our children. Larien was very much like a woman who Aragorn met in Rohan named Eowyn. She is only ten, but still is determined to be as good of a fighter as Eldarion. In return, Eldarion is very protective of her. It is a friendship I have only seen once in my life, and that is the friendship between Frodo and Samwise. Celebriän is very much a loner. She has had to figure things out on her own from day one. Even her lover, Antoneith, cannot show her how to do things, she will not let him. That trait she got from Aragorn, I expect. Tarí and Nienna are very similar, but look very different. Nienna has a tanner skin with brown hair and Larien has dark hair like mine, and a creamier face. Just to see all of my children makes me happy, and I wonder how they next one will be. Will she look like me at all? I always cannot wait to find out.

I just makes me remember how lucky I am to have this wonderful life. I wonder now how my life would be if I had never thrown away my immortality? It could never compare to this, because I would not have five beautiful children, and Aragorn by my side. I could have never made a better choice.

I got up slowly. Aragorn did too. He wrapped his arms around me gently, and I laughed, and touched his arm. He whispered that he will always love me into my ear and kissed me as I turned to face him.

he said, without pulling away. I smiled lovingly, enjoying his company. Then Tarí pulled on my dress, and said Amme, I'm really tired.

I smiled and pulled away from Aragorn. I bet Nienna is too. I'll tuck you two in.

Tarí ran off to find Nienna, but I lingered there for a moment, with Aragorn stroking the back of my hand. I smiled.

I'll go take them to bed, I said.

Will you be back? Aragorn asked quickly.

Yes, perhaps, I replied. Come to bed if I don't.

I will, he said. Oh, Arwen....



I'm really glad I met you, he said.

I laughed. That's very sweet.

he whispered. I love it when you laugh.

I smiled and shrugged my shoulders. I would have never laughed again if I had not married you.

Then, I walked away and went to put the children to bed.
