Frodo remembered a white light, and then a sting of the something sharp at his throat the light faded and he blinked at the face of a dirty Hobbit "I said who you are?" The hobbit hissed as Frodo realised that the sting to his throat was the blade that was pointed to his neck. "Uncle Bilbo?" Frodo whispered as he recognised the young Hobbit looking at him from an old drawing. The blonde Hobbit flinched his eyes widen as he looked at the young dark hair hobbit
"I only have one nephew and he's still in nappy and is not a young lad like you." Bilbo said as he dropped the sword and looked at him "Tho you do look a lot like him, just older." The dark hair Hobbit shifted a little and bit his bottom lip "How old you lad?" He asked
"32."
"Not even of age and your alone out here, come with me." Frodo frowned at how quickly he become Bilbo become kind
"Does that mean you believe me?"
"No…" He said as he put his arm around Frodo's small frame "…but I will get there." He said as he took him through the trees towards the sound of laughter and singing.
Walking into the clearing where there was a large fire with a group of Dwarfs eating and drinking "Bilbo who is that with you?" Kili said as the Dwarfs stood up their hands reaching for their swords
"He's lost fellow, been wondering around here for weeks looking for a why back to the Shire." Bilbo lied easily
"Thorin isn't going to like this when he gets back." A dark haired dwarf said, Frodo took a step back behind Bilbo his eyes widen at the large Dwarf making him feel uneasy as he looked at him as if was going to burst into flames …why not I travelled back in time didn't I… he thought
"He's not of age yet, still a child, I am not leaving him alone to wonder these woods." Bilbo snapped at the large Dwarf before pulling Frodo over to the fire and sitting him down by Kili and Fili. "Boys I want you to look after my young friend and I mean keep your hands to yourself." Both brothers faked shocked and horror at Bilbo's words, before the blonde brother stood up and sat next to Frodo
"I will look after him like he was my own brother."
"Same here." Kili said
"That is what I'm worried about."
Half an out later Frodo see another Dwarf walked back to the camp, he sat there watching him walk up as someone whispers in his hear about Frodo, Bilbo looked at the young Hobbit and smiled "Don't worry, I got this." Frodo nodded as watched as Bilbo met the majestic Dwarf looked at Frodo with dark dangerous eyes.
"Don't worry if anyone can get uncle to not to kill you it will be Bilbo." Kili chuckled
"Kill me?" Frodo squeaked as Kili handed him a broke cup of something.
"Bilbo what is this I hear you picking up a stray?" Thorin asked grabbed Bilbo's elbow and pulled him out of ear shot of the rest, the curly blonde hobbit frowned at Thorin's tight grip and pulled his arm free
"He's a child and he's lost. I think he's bumped his head." Bilbo said to him as he watched the Dwarf look at him
"He could be a liability." The Dwarf growled at him
"Tell me if it was a Dwarf child we found would you want them dead or turn then back into the cold of night?" Bilbo yelled at him. Thorin stopped for a moment and looked away, it was clear that Bilbo was right.
"It's not the same."
"It is Thorin, Frodo is a Hobbit and he is lost and I don't like the idea of leaving him to defend himself again the Orcs. They will tear him a part or worst!" Bilbo said as he lend closer to Thorin placing his small hands on his chest playing with his bared "Please Thorin let take him with us, until we return to the Shire."
"Bilbo you're not returning to the Shire you're staying with me." Bilbo smiled as leaned up kissing Thorin on the lips
"He's just a smile Thorin."
"Alright he can stay." Bilbo smiled brightly and went to walk back when Thorin grabbed his arms "I still need some persuading." He grinned back at the Hobbit.
"Of course my king."
