Eowyn watched the last of the belongings that she wanted to take to Emyn Arnen being loaded on to a cart. She was tired from staying up till late last night, or was it earlier this morning when she and Faramir had finally fallen asleep. They had been talking about the new baby when they finally stopped crying. Eowyn had never believed that someone could cry from happiness, she did now. Faramir had been so excited, the last time she had seen him this excited was when she had agreed to marry him. She had wanted to know where they would bring the children up, since she knew of his dislike of the Stewards House, it was then that he had remembered to tell her about his new post. This had made her ecstatic. She had been worrying about whether the Ladies at court would offer her 'helpful' advice and take over her life. Now she didn't have to worry about that, it would also mean that Faramir would be with her during her confinement, which would be at Emyn Arnen. They had also been suggesting names for the child; they had no problem on deciding a boys name, Eldacar, but the disagreement came while deciding on a girls name. Eowyn had wanted Theodwyn after her mother, while Faramir wanted Finduilas after his. In the end, after a long debate, they chose neither of those names, but settled for Frealaf, the first queen of Rohan.

"Ready Eowyn?" Faramir mounted his horse, a jet black stallion which had been a present from her brother Eomer, as it was the tradition for the bride-to-be's brother to welcome her betrothed to the family through the gift of a new horse. She smiled up at him,

"Of course." She replied and mounted her horse, Deor, he was getting rather old and tired now, she needed a new one, still, there was no point getting one until after the birth. She saw him take a last look at the Stewards House, it was no longer his home, just a house he kept in the city, full of sad memories and the past.

"Come darling," she whispered softly to him. "We have our house in Emyn Arnen, a new world for just us, do not trouble yourself with past fears and memories. We have a new future with our baby ahead of us. So let everything that has happened there go and lets start our new life." He stared at her for a moment, then he smiled.

"Yes," he replied, "lets." He kissed her gently then turned his horse around and rode off without looking back.
