What a homecoming! It sounds as though Elohir arrived at a very timely moment.

I liked Ar'thorn asking Trotter to play with him, so cute.

He's only four at this time, poor kid! But I'm sure a hobbit would look like a possible playmate and a distraction...

Lovely to see this up, and quite a gripping new addition to the story! How far back is this again? I think perhaps we have just met someone of considerable importance...

Shire Reckoning 1273, or Third Age 2873.

I think that will tell you who we just met! *grin*

Edit: *facepalm* 1277 or 2877! Ack!

Arador is, of course, Aragorn's grandfather, and Argonui his *great* grandfather. And little Ar'thorn, is naturally his father.

The other names are OCs. Unfortunately we were not given names for Aragorn's paternal great-grandmothers, or his grandmother on his father's side. We do have his *maternal* grandparents, Dirhael and Ivorwen, *grin* and his mother Gilraen of course. So I had to make up names for them. Thankfully, surgicalsteel directed me to a great site for that!

I too was wondering about the time that this story takes place. I had forgot that Trotter and Arathorn would be relatively close in age. You are doing incredible things with this story. I can't wait to see where it is going.

Well, Trotter's 33 to Arathorn's 4, but considering the span of years that is relatively close!

I'm glad you are enjoying it!

A hobbit would feel a bit out of place in such chaos!

Very, very cute chapter---I loved the ending. And I suppose Trotter is now getting to see, firsthand, Arador's family that he had wondered about.

Well, of course one of the sons of the Old Took would be familiar with the attending chaos of a mother giving birth, LOL! but they *were* all strangers to him, so that made it a bit difficult and awkward.

Yes, he's now meeting the family. *grin*
