Summary: Haldir’s last day in Lorien before he leaves for Helms Deep.
A/N after spending three days writing this second chapter to this story I decided I didn’t like the way it all sounded so I deleted the whole thing and started over with this.
In addition, a special “Thank you!” goes out to Elda. Without her, this story would have no title.
Translations: Goheno nin=forgive me
Gerich veleth nín= you have my love.

Giving his decision had almost been as hard as making it. He knew that once he spoke his reply that there had been no turning back. He was leaving Lorien, his brothers and his family. His heart was telling him this is what he needed to be doing. He would not now or ever be able to rest unless he knew his family and his home were safe. They only way he could make sure of that was to go to Helms deep.
He had known this could happen, all the wardens did. It was what they trained for. Though when he had first become a warden he had not expected to have family other than his brothers. Now, he had Areth and thier son. As he turned his head to look at her now, rocking thier son to sleep as she did every night. There was no doubt that he loved them. It was his duty as her husband and as his father to keep them safe.
“I will miss watching this.” He spoke softly, not to wake the baby. He smiled at her when she turned her head to look at him.
“I knew you would go” She had replied, getting him to arch an eyebrow slightly
“You are angry?” He got up and walked over to her, helping her place the baby in his crib. He turned his head when he felt her hand against his cheek
“I am proud” she told him.
Knowing this made it easier for him to get his things ready. The idea of leaving her alone to care for their son bothered him more then anything. As if she had read his thought she assured him they would be fine.
“Should you need anything” He brought her into his arms, holding her close to him, wanting to keep her there, keep her safe with him.
“ Then I know where to find your brothers” she replied softy. “Do not worry about us. We will be fine as we worry about you”
Needing her more then ever, Haldir carried her to their room, placing her on their bed.
“Love me” she whispered softly
“Always” He replied before kissing her deeply. His hands moving over her slowly, enjoying the feel of every curve of her as he took her clothes off, closing his eyes as she took her turn to remove his. Moving to her and kissing her softly at first, letting it deepen slowly. The feel of her skin against his made his desire for her increase even more. As their passion built, he gave in to his need and claimed her, making love to her until exhaustion took them both into their dreams. His arms wrapped around her as they slept.
They say old habits die-hard and for Haldir, he was no exception o this as he woke once more before dawn. Watching Areth as she slept before getting up and slipping into the bedchamber next to his.
“ we need to talk” he smiled as he lifted his son gently up into his arms. Keeping the blanket wrapped around the enfant, he stepped out onto the balcony. The sun just now being to touch the leaves of every tree in Lorien. For a few minutes he stood there, holding his son as he looked out at Lorien. The soft touch against his jaw brought his attention back to his son and he kissed the tiny fingers
“I will do everything in my power to return to you and your mother’ he spoke softly.” If this is not possible then as you grow older it falls on you to protect not only your mother but all of Lorien as well” he said before adding “ just as I do now” His eyes closed as he placed a single kiss to his son’s head.” Never doubt that my heart will always be with you”
After placing the baby back in his bed, Haldir stood and watched him sleep for a while before leaving the room.
“as handsome as ever” Areth’s voice reached his ears as he finished getting dressed.
“ I did not want to wake you” He told her, strapping on his sword.
“You would have left without saying goodbye?” she looked over at him
“never” he shook his head.” You just looked so peaceful when you sleep”
As he turned to look at her, he saw the concern in her eyes, the sadness that was mixed in there as well
“ Love me?” he touched her face softly
“Always” she had replied as he hugged her.
“that knowledge alone will bring me home” he said, kissing her once more before he forced himself to walk out the door, looking up once to see her on the balcony, their son in her arms.. It was that exact picture he would keep in his mind during this mission, when hopes had been at their lowest. It was also the last thing he had seen in his mind as he took his last breath, her name a soft whisper heard only by the one man who held onto him as he died.

No matter how much she tried, Areth had not been able to keep warm. A cold chill having passed through her as she tried to sleep. The quietness of the talan was hard to face. Only after he had gone did she notice that just the sound of his light breathing at night had been a comfort to her. She missed fallen asleep and waking up wrapped in his arms, the only place she had truly felt safe.
“Goheno nin” the soft whisper in her ear had her sitting up in her bed, looking around the room, she saw no one. Her tears fell as she realized she had thought it was Haldir’s voice. She must have been dreaming again for she knew he was not coming home. Rumil had brought her the news of his death but her heart had told her before.
“ You promised to come home” she whispered softly, hearing her own voice echo through the room.
“Goheno nin” came a soft reply as a gently breeze touched her face.
“Haldir?” she closed her eyes as the breeze touched her again. She could have sworn she felt his touch against her cheek, his arms around her as she lay back down in their bed. The soft comfort she would always feel with him was there once more as she drifted off to sleep, whispering softly that she did forgive him. She never felt the soft breeze that moved though the baby’s room or heard the soft sounds of their son as he had reached up to touch the air when the breeze touched him as well, the soft whisper that the breeze carried meant only for their soon to hear as he to drifted off to sleep
“Gerich veleth nín,”
