In 2746 TA was born Belladonna Took, daughter of Thain of the Shire, Ferumbras Took II. Unlike the others, Belladonna was not entirely Hobbit. In fact, Ferumbras's wife had died in bed in 2745, giving birth to Fortinbras Took, and Ferumbras finally found someone to console him. Surprisingly, it was a dwarf who consoled him, named Gorin. This dwarf was a member of the Firebeard clan from the Blue Mountains and he came straight from the ancient city of Belegost where still some dwarves lived. The two men had a very hectic sexual relationship, and none expected a child. What was their surprise when Ferumbras was pregnant? It is thus that in 2746, Belladonna Took Daughter of Ferumbras and Gorin was born.

In the beginning, the birth of Belladonna was moderately appreciated by the inhabitants of the Shire, but they had quickly kowtow facing their Thain, and above all, facing a dwarf who would do anything to protect his daughter. Births being rather rare among dwarves, and women being even more so, Belladonna was a blessing. It was quickly decided that Belladonna will live part of her life in the Shire, but also in the Blue Mountains. Thus, during the years that followed, the girl did not cease lugging between her two homes. As she learned to be a Hobbit, to love nature and to sew in the Shire, she learned the art of blacksmithing and jewelry in Ered Luin. She quickly developed a mastery of jewelry and blacksmithing, so much so that she obtained the title of Mistress in both fields. She met a very old magician by the name of Gandalf the Gray, and they soon became good friends.

It was in 2776 that she reached adulthood, and she decided to travel through Middle-earth. The Tooks and the Firebeards suspected that she would end up traveling, because it was in her blood. She was convinced to leave by her old friend Gandalf, who then decided to take her to travel. So they left for Rivendell where they met the lord Elrond and his children. She became very popular with the elves, and eventually even got the title of Elf-friend, much to the chagrin of her dwarf family. She only stayed there for three years, and decided to go back with the magician. Together, they went south towards Rohan. They passed through the region of Eregion to admire the ancient Elven forges and ruins that spread in the region. Belladonna took advantage of it to collect old weapons and armor which she appreciated, but which she especially intended to examine in order to be able to reproduce them, or to learn more. She had to admit that even though she considered dwarven weapons and armor of better quality, the elves knew how to do it, and were especially good at engraving runes in their weapons and enchant them to strengthen them.

It was in 2780 that they arrived in Dunland where they met huge dwarf camps, to the greatest shock of Belladonna. In any case did she not know that Gandalf had planned from the beginning to take her here, because the old coot was only an old manipulator who loved to have fun at the expense of others, and his last project was to show Belladonna what would happen if one day she let herself be consumed by the greediness of gold. This is how Belladonna met the exiled dwarves of Erebor, and especially their leaders. She first met Thror, the Ancient King under the Mountain, and his son Thrain. She met them, and was treated almost like a princess. It was due to Gandalf, who had introduced her as a daughter of the Thain of the Shire, who was the equivalent of a King, making her a princess in a certain way. The dwarves were very intrigued by Belladonna, because she had big hobbits feet that were hairy, but she also had a long golden beard that was her pride. She did not hesitate to call herself Dwobbit and introduced herself as Belladonna Took, daughter of Gorin. Obviously, her ancestry was appreciated, and she described with pleasure the Shire as well as the Blue Mountains. Soon, the dwarves were interested in Ered Luin, and especially, what she proposed. According to her, there was plenty of room for them to settle there, and the proposal was widely accepted by Thorin Frerin and Dis. Unfortunately, this was not the case with Thror and Thrain, who were aiming for a different goal.

Soon, relations between Belladonna and Thror became tense, and they kept bickering. In no time, they formed a bond of friendship that became a bond of love in 2785. So she decided to stay with the dwarves when Gandalf left. She soon became friends with most dwarves, and particularly loved Balin, Thorin, and Frerin. Slowly, years passed, and Thror did not hesitate to make Belladonna his Queen in exile. Despite the hard times for the people of Durin, things were slightly improving, as the Shire agreed to send whole carts of food to help the dwarves, thus limiting the dwarf losses. The joy finally reached its climax in 2795 when Belladonna became pregnant. However, the royal couple decided to hide it, and only Thrain, Balin and Fundin were put in the secret. Thror had decided to retake Khazad-Dum, and to protect his future child, he decided to send his wife to the Shire to better protect her. So he gave his ring of power, Durin's ring, the mightiest of the seven dwarfs rings, so she never forget him. If something happened to him, then she would pass it on to their child. Thrain had of course agreed not to receive the ring, and hoped one day to see her again to get to know his brother or sister.

That's how Belladonna returned pregnant to the Shire, where she gave birth to a beautiful baby who looked completely like a dwarf, if not the ears and feet a little thicker yet smaller. She was very proud of her son, and swore to tell him about his father. She kept sending letters to Thror, who was delighted to learn more about their son. Unfortunately, he died in 2799 by decapitation. The dwarves had finally led their great attack on Khazad-Dum, but their king was beheaded by Azog the defiler. The dwarves fought tirelessly, and Thrain eventually disappear that day after the death of his second son, Frerin. The letters that had not completely disappeared in Thror's tent, some knew that there was another direct heir, but not knowing where their queen had disappeared, the crown returned de facto to Thorin. The latter took into account the former council of Belladonna and left with his people towards the Blue Mountains where they settled.

On his way to the Shire, Balin, who knew that Belladonna had returned, decided to make a detour to tell her the news about her husband. It was then that he discovered the existence of Bilbo, and decided to keep his existence secret. Belladonna was devastated by the news, and fervently thanked Balin for keeping the secret. The latter simply explained that Bilbo was too young for such responsibilities, and that some would not hesitate to try to assassinate him because of his young age. He then promised to come back if possible to learn more about Bilbo, and above all, to educate him as a descendant of the Durin line. Thus, over the years, Balin traveled between the Shire and Ered Luin, attracting the curiosity of Dwalin and Thorin who said nothing. Meanwhile, Bilbo grew up and age at the speed of a dwarf, to the surprise of the Tooks. In retrospect, Bilbo was in ¾ dwarf and ¼ hobbit, and it was quite normal for him to be more dwarf than hobbit. Thus, although some called him Dwobbit, Bilbo was more often qualified as a mere dwarf.

For years, Bilbo learned all he needed to know about the dwarves from his mother and occasional visits from Balin and Gandalf. He was very fond of the dwarf, and loved the magic tricks of the magician, especially his fantastic fireworks. Every day, Bilbo stood out from all the other children in the Shire. First, he was aging much slower than the others, and would not reach maturity until he was 70 years old. Then he was more interested in stones and minerals than in plants, although he knows it. Obviously, his physical attributes did not help him integrate with other hobbits, but Bilbo had nothing to do with it, because instead of playing, he preferred to learn, read books, and above all, to train in the forge. Indeed, his mother had decided to teach him everything she knew about blacksmithing and jewelry, and quickly noticed that Bilbo was particularly comfortable with gold. Thus she did not hesitate to requisition all that was in gold in the museum at Mathoms of Michel Delving. She melted everything and then taught her son, who was a real prodigy in this area. She liked to think he had it from her, but she suspected it was just Durin's blood coming out. Soon she realized that gold was becoming a devouring passion for her son, but she preferred to let it go because she felt there was not enough gold in the Shire to make him lose his head. When Balin learned it, he was torn between pride for his mastery of blacksmithing and jewelry, but also between his fears of gold madness. What would happen when Bilbo would see the rooms of Erebor, filled with gold and jewels? He preferred not to think too much about it.

To help him, Belladonna called her Firebeard family to come train her young son, forcing them to swear not to reveal anything about Bilbo's relationship until he was ready. This is how Bilbo learned all he had to know about the culture of the dwarves and his ancestry, whether as a Long-beard or Firebeard. Evidently, the long lives of Bilbo and Belladonna forced them to witness the births and deaths of those they loved, and they cried for a long time at the death of Fortinbras, leaving his position of Thain to his young son, Gerontius Took. Bilbo had reached maturity in 2866 celebrating its 70th anniversary.

In 2915, Bungo Baggins asked Bilbo for permission to court his mother, which greatly amused the dwarf. The latter agreed, and asked Bungo to prove his intentions. Bungo did not hesitate on the means, and he hired dwarven and hobbits builders to Hobbiton where he bought the biggest hill as well as its surroundings. He built an immense smial, the largest ever. This smial was very big to accommodate hobbits, dwarves, humans and elves, expected with the different friends of Belladonna and Bilbo. The interior was much more interesting, because instead of traditional wooden walls and floors, everything was completely made of stone. In fact, the complete architecture was dwarf, with a huge kitchen, a huge living room, and even a room to practice their craft and a personal forge. Bilbo was pleased to examine the place, and he accepted the present. For the construction of this smial, Bungo had to use more money than he had at that time, and so the majority of the work was paid by the Took family, and more particularly Bilbo, being quite rich thanks to his job as a blacksmith and what he inherited from his grandfather and uncle. Belladonna's reaction when she saw the smial was memorable, as she threw herself into Bungo's arms and kissed him in front of everyone. This obviously did not please some members of the Baggins family, read here Sackville ones.

The years passed slowly, and their families were happy. Bilbo even came to regard Bungo as a father-in-law, and they shared a common interest in reading, maps, and as merchants. Indeed, Bungo knew that Bilbo was going to live much more than him, and decided to name him as heir in his will, teaching him the threads of the trade of merchant because the latter possessed wine lands. Thanks to their wealth, the Took and Baggins were able to import many more minerals than before, and above all, quality ores. Bilbo could forge his own armor and his own weapons. He began with a large plate armor, based on his mother's drawings of his father's armor, Thror. The armor was splendid, made of an alloy of steel and gold. The armor was perfectly proportioned, it going perfectly, and above all, it shone a lot thanks to the gold. Then he made a big axe and smaller axes. However, these weapons were not those he preferred, so he forged a wonderful sword with a pommel shaped like a wolf to represent the Tooks, a gold and bronze Tower shield and a spear. He regretted not having Mithril, but this metal being so rare and precious, it was impossible to find any. Bilbo also proudly wore beads in his hair, all of which had been made by his mother. There was the one who described him as the heir of Durin, the one of the Firebeard clan, the one as a Longbeard, obviously he had in his beard those who proved that he was a goldsmith and a jeweler. Bilbo looked a lot like a dwarf in his armor, with his beads and clasps, and above all, all the jewels he wore proudly. He had made some of them, like the necklace he wore with a sapphire, but he preferred the earring with a ruby made by his mother.

In 2924, his life was turned upside down. It was the year of the Fell Winter, and the Brandywine River froze, leaving orcs, wargs and wolves to enter the Shire. Bilbo and Belladonna had decided to help defend the Shire's borders, and Bungo had chosen to accompany them because he refused to stay away from them. They were attacked by a group of twenty orcs, who were led by a tall pale orc who was missing his left arm mounted on a white warg. While Belladonna and Bilbo were fighting against the invaders, Bungo was attacked by Azog who cut him in half and gave his remains to his warg. At that moment, Belladonna entered a mad rage, reaching the berserker stage and rushed to Azog, disemboweling his huge white warg. The two fought for a moment, but Azog finally won and sliced her head, which he shot towards Bilbo. When Azog saw Bilbo, he immediately recognized a son of Durin, which was why he took pleasure in killing his mother. Bilbo screamed with rage when he saw his mother beheaded, so he did not hesitate to take his two-hand axe with in one hand, as well as his sword, and threw himself body and soul on the remaining ten orcs that were killed in a very short time. Azog not being stupid, he easily understood that if he stayed, things would go wrong for him, so he decided to flee, swearing one day to kill Bilbo. Bilbo was utterly destroyed by the death of his mother and father-in-law, completely ignoring the hobbits of the Hobbits who saw him fight and protect them. Many called him a hero.

However, Bilbo had to fight for Bag-End and Bungo's will, as the Sackville-Baggins felt he deserved nothing, being not Bungo's son. Fortunately, his cousin, Gerontius Took stopped them, and Bilbo ended up keeping everything. After the loss of his parents, Bilbo decided to rest a little, and put aside his armor, his Tower Shield and his spear, keeping only his sword and 2H axe. He then began to completely manage the affairs of Bungo, the vineyard and the forge that belonged to him. He was getting used to this life of peace, though he never stopped thinking of his father's legacy, Thror, and the ring he kept on his hand.

It was in 2946 that everything changed, with the arrival of an old man dressed in gray, bringing in his wake a wind of change.
