I don't own the Hobbit or its characters.

Chapter2: Before The Beginning Part2

Bilbo felt warm and comfortable, a feeling she never thought she would have again. Her lower stomach felt numb and she could faintly hear voices talking quietly near her head.

"...lbo..." Bilbo opened her eyes slowly and looked to her left where she met a pare of concerned grey eyes.

"YOUR AWAKE!" The man cried, leaping into the air and hobbling his way over to Bilbo's side. "Are you Ok? How are you feeling? Do you feel sick? I can get the doctor if your feeling sick? Do you want some water? How's your stomach? Is the anaesthetic working? What ca..." The mans bombard of questions was interrupted by a door Bilbo hadn't noticed slamming open and revealing a frantic looking old Hobbit and a younger looking Hobbit lass. The who made there way to Bilbo, tears of joy beginning to fall from the Hobbit lass, and sat down on the bed.

"How are you feeling?" The older Hobbit gently pushed. Bilbo nodded in answer, a little shaken from all the excitement.

"Your lucky to be alive you know? Most would have died instantly if a fetes was taken out of them like that" The man shook his head and yelped when he was hit on the leg by a fuming Hobbit lass.

"Don't SAY THINGS LIKE THAT!" She yelled, her arms flailing about with anger, before she turned to Bilbo and smiled sadly.

"You've been asleep for a while, you may find it hard to walk for a few days but if you've heal enough I can let you go home tonight, Ok?" The nurse leant down and tucked one of Bilbo's curls away before kneeling down on the floor and dropping her head.

"... I have... classes today. ... Birds..." Bilbo whispered, a slight quiver in her voice. The nurse looked shocked for a minute before tears began to fall down her tanned cheeks.

"They..., none of them... they were all" She tried to say but the distraught in Bilbo's eyes made her cry harder. Bilbo closed her eyes and gritted her teeth before reaching out to pat the Nurses head.

"...Funeral...?" The nurse looked at Bilbo through glassy eyes and nodded slowly.

"Happened last week. You've been asleep for nearly a month..."

Bilbo slowly opened her green door and stepped inside. She had left the Hospital early with the promise of going straight to bed when she got home. The sky was a cruel orange and pink and already small Fauntlings were being called into the safety of there Smials. Bilbo had noticed several of the older Hobbits turning away or cringing as she walked passed, some even grabbed there children and hid them from her.

Bilbo closed her door slowly and took a step forward. She was nervous and sad. Imaginary sounds of laughter echoed around the halls and Bilbo began to cry.

"I'm sorry" She cried, "I'm so, so sorry"

Bilbo raced down the hall to her room but stopped short and instead entered the room next to it. The light green walls made for a warm feeling but the sight of a white cot and a half made bear felt like a thousand needles in the chest. Bilbo fell to her knees and slowly crawled over to the mess of fur and stuffing. Tears flooding her eyes, Bilbo reached into the bears chest and pulled out a small needle and thread from where she began to finish her sons toy.

What began as finishing a bear turned into making a collection of toys with ribbons and pants placed smartly on them, each one seemingly unique but had the initials B.B placed in golden thread at the base of their feet

Bilbo stayed in that small room for hours and hours. The sun had risen, risen and fallen again and Bilbo began to feel her eyes fall shut.

'I'll just stay here in my Smial for the rest of my life. Its safe here. No pain, no anger, no noise, and no Orcs. Yes, I think Ill stay here...'

Bilbo sighed slightly as the warm sun hit her skin. She hardly ever went outside anymore and so her skin was paler than most. The lass reached into her pocket and pulled out a small book but before she could open it she was interrupted by a rather out of tune humming coming closer and closer.

"Good morning"
