I loved your description of the yuletide celebration, it was very moving. So the great event is about to happen, looking forward to the next chapter. This is really a superb story and getting better with each chapter.

I have just completed the first eight chapters of this lovely story
It is well written and I like the way you continue the tale of Aragorn and Arwen. I want to read the rest

Oh I'm so excited! The baby is coming, the baby is coming!

I loved your descriptions of yule and playing in the snow.

Harad wants Most Favored Nation status, huh. Who do they think they are -- the Chi-Coms? And how come Aragorn and Faramir weren't briefed on the regime change in Harad? Who do they have in charge of their intel -- George Tenet?

Just kidding! I love it when I find political analogies in LOTR fanfic.

Another good one. I think we are all looking forward to the birth chapter. I liked the scene when Arwen could not get herself up off the floor and struggled to use her writing desk because of her belly.I also feel there is more to come with the trade delegates, whether good or ill, will be interesting.

You have mentioned the Harad king's (what's his name) promise one too many times, and while he has agreed not to spill blood in the Evenstar's home, since he is a poisoner, I would expect him to resort to that. But the question is, what does Aragorn think?

I always wondered why Elrond and Celebrian only had three kids in a few thousand years. As for Arwen's child? Let's just say that I'm looking foreward to the birth chapter. This will be very interesting indeed!

French Pony--

Could you please delete the strange review I just sent? :-)

Aragorn is funny here. He's so sure that he's seen everything, but he's lived in a world of men with battle wounds. The birth of his child is a puzzle even for skilled midwives.

And how odd for the midwives, who seem to have to keep all their fear to themselves. I suppose that makes sense. No point in alarming people.

great chapter. So Aragorn has found a solution for the trade problem with Harad. Loved the part about Arwin and the woman of the sewing circle. looking forward to more.

Interesting chapter,trade will develop, but I fear suspicions will be fervant.The ladies of Gondor seem to be very Victorian, not speaking of 'delicate matters' That made me smile to read it.

This is a lovely story. There's so much that Arwen and Aragorn (as well as the other characters) would have to deal with after marriage--it's not just "happily ever after," though there is that as well. And I love the Harad politics. And the childbirth/female bonding stuff! I was amused at the Gondor library having all the info about diseases and battle wounds but not "unofficial" women's knowledge like childbirth. I've also always liked Ioreth, so it was good to see more of her.
