OK ya'll this is my first fan fiction. *Round of applause. Well I hope you like it the summary is bad but it tells what happens the story is better. I hope. I still need a beta so if your interested please help. Umm well read and review even if you don't like it flamers will be thrown out the window. No sex, no drugs, no slash. Rated for later chapters and if I tell you why it would give away the story wouldn't it.

Characters in this chapter: Pipen, Diamond, Merry

"Frodo!" Pipen yelled sitting up in bed with a start.

"Pipen love, are you OK?" Diamond asked as she woke from her husband's outburst.

Yes my dear I'm alright, I just had an odd dream." Pipen laid his head back down on his pillow. "Don't worry about me my dear." Pip continued, putting a gentle hand on his wife's growing stomach. There was silence for a moment.

"You still miss him don't you?"

"Of course I do, he was one of my best friends and my cousin."

"Is there anything I can do to help you?"

"I don't think so love. Don't worry about me I'll be fine. Go back to sleep dearest."

Pipen hated when his wife worried about him. She was so gentle so kind and loved him so. Pipen turned his head to get a better look at his love. Polling over onto his side he moved a curly strand of hair form her face, kissed her forehead. "Go back to sleep I'm fine." Pip tried to go back to sleep, he wanted to go back to sleep, he was so tired it was an emotional time. Four years ago to the day Frodo left with the elves never to return, as far as everybody he left thought. Around this time of year everybody thinks about him ones who were closest to him had odd dreams. Sam thought he even saw him once or twice, but instead of getting better the dreams visions and things got more vivid more like life, Sam even ran after a vision but he didn't think it was a vision he could have sworn the vision said something or made some sort of noise. Sams' vision of Frodo was never in bag end it was always in the woods or in the distance. Sam had accepted that it wasn't really Frodo that it was maybe some sort of spirit looking out for him and his family, nobody else ever seemed to see him or they never reacted. Sam would just notice him and say under his breath "Com on back Mr. Frodo we have room for you here, we all miss you can't you come for a visit?" Then go about his business. Pip started at the ceiling for what seemed like hours, listening his wife breath, making sure she was asleep, he got out of bed as quiet as possible and exited the bed room.

Pipen watched the fire in the parlor as the flames heated the teakettle, hearing the door open behind him he assumed it was Diamond Merry wasn't to arrive for hours still. "My dearest love, please don't worry about me I'm fine we go through this every year." Standing up he said. "Now my sweet sparkling diamond please go back to sleep. Goodness!"

"Pip I didn't know you cared so much, what was it sweet sparkling diamond is that what you called me?"

"Your early cousin, could you not sleep."

"Honestly Pip your wife will be very upset, what with her being with child again."

"I thought you were Diamond."

"I couldn't sleep either."

"I can't believe he still stays in our minds like he dose. Well I half expected it from Sam but us I never would have thought it would keep getting worse like it dose."

"Well maybe there is a reason."

"Merry your sounding like Sam dose every year. Don't tell me you have started seeing him."

"Seriously, I got a letter." Merry said taking an envelope out of his inside pocket of his waistcoat. "From Frodo." His voice and hand shook as he handed the letter to Pipen.
