**************************************************************************** ****

My name Jamie Shadow. At least, that's who probably know me as. In three days, I will officially be Mrs. Jamie Baggins. I finished High School about three weeks ago. Now, I've moved to Hobbiton, leaving my best friend ever, Emma and her fiancée, Boromir. My other friends, Billee Deamae, and his brother, Colan had been successfully adopted by our old Principal, Elrond. Legolas Greenleaf, Billee's boyfriend, is keeping him company at school. It's another week-and-a-half before the rest of the school finishes for the year.

I was expecting most of my friends to come today. I know Emma, Boromir, Billee, Colan, Legolas and Elrond were already on their way here. Arwen would be coming soon, with her boyfriend, Aragorn, We didn't need to worry about Reesa, Blue, Sam, Merry or Pippin. Because they all lived in Hobbiton.

Frodo now owned Bag End, which had been his Uncle Bilbo's house. A rather big hobbit-hole for just the two of us. But we would be getting lots of visitors soon. Bilbo had moved to Rivendell to be with his friends in the Elfish community.

I heard a few short clip-clop of hooves outside and I ran to the window. There were Emma, Boromir, Elrond, Billee, Colan and Legolas. "Frodo! They're here!" I called and opened the door for them.

"Emma!" I threw myself at her into a hug. She laughed. Then I hugged everyone else. "Come on in!" I led them into our cozy little home. Soon, we were sitting around the table, drinking tea or coffee, and chatting about what everyone had been up to for the past couple of weeks. I had missed them all terribly. But three days from now, I would be happily married and still have friends. Emma was going to be my matron-of honor. The rest of the girls who had been our 'table-buddies' at school were my brides maids, and Blue's little sister Wendy, was going to be my flower girl. Sam was going to be Frodo's best man and the rest of the guys, were going to be the groomsmen. Including Billee and Legolas. Colan was going to be the ring bearer. Some people might thing it's strange that I asked two gay guys to be groomsmen, but, as I had proved to Indigo last year, if anyone, and I mean anyone, tries to put insults on my friends, gay or straight, they will deal with my fist. I was very touchy about the subject. They had been good friends to me, and I wasn't about to let their sexuality get in the way of that friendship.

"Frodo, how can you? In three days you won't be a free man anymore!" Said Billee, grinning.

We all laughed. Elrond started telling us what had happened since we had left. Gandalf had been annoying the spit out of everyone, so Emma had gotten up the courage to do what I had done too many times to count last year, she had put a notice on the wizards back. But not just ordinary notice, one that had points on what he does.

*Shaves his legs

*keeps a Dildo in the medicine cabinet.

*prances around like the amazing poof he is, wearing a full length gautier sequin, heels and a tiara.

I burst out laughing. So did everyone else at the table. It was true, Elrond was good for a laugh. He didn't like Gandalf very much because he was so annoying, and didn't even get angry at Emma. In fact he found it quite hilarious. Probably because she wasn't in school anymore, so he couldn't give her a detention.



Later that afternoon, I was sitting in my favorite spot, a low hanging branch of a tree. I just sat there looking at the sun set when Emma came and sat next to me. We stayed silent for a minute. Then she asked me the simple question.

"Are you happy?"

"Sure I am, but, I'll tell you one thing… I'm scared."

"Really? Why?"

"Well, two things really. One, because I'm getting married in two days…and two, because…because I'm pregnant."
