Chapter 4: A welcomed surprise!

It was the next day... things had gotten pretty awkward between poor Treebeard and Bilbo. There were rumours that Thorin was there but it was never confirmed since a body was never found. Bilbo sighed. He didn't like Thorin much but he didn't think he deserved to die.

Treebeard was pretty distant though, keeping himself busy and away from the hobbit by taking care of the trees.

Bilbo laid on the ground, looking green. Like, grass green. He ran to the river, throwing up in it. It was white though since he just ate apples. He even founds some seeds in it. He then flopped on his side, looking awful.

That was when Treebeard came along. He didn't want to be near Bilbo but he was getting nervous for him. "Biiiiilbboooo arrreeee yoou okaaay?" he picked Bilbo up with his branchy hand.

"I don't know... I feel awful..." he groaned and whimpered.

Treebeard blinked and put a branch on Bilbo's belly and it glowed. He gasped! "Biiilboooo myyy loooveeee! Yooou aaareeee preeeegnant withhhh myyy acooooorns!" he exclaimed, looking excited. He then hugged him and kissed him deep, pushing his tongue in Bilbo's mouth.

Bilbo kissed him back but was still very confused! Pregnant? So fast? "But Treebeard... We only mated yesterday"

Treebeard smiled. "Yeeesss buuut myyy saaaap isss stroooong!" he said. He showered Bilbo in kisses. "I wiiillll beee a faaaatherrr! Weeee wiklillll reeepoppuulate thheee treepeeeople to saave the fooorest frroooom thaaat duummb draaagon!"

Bilbo blinked. "Dragon...? Which dragon?"

Treebeard sighed, and lowered his head, looking upset. "Hiiis naaameee isss Smoooog. Heee liiikess to laaaugh attt ourrrr weeaaaknesss to fiiire and theeen seeets usss on fiiiire..."

Bilbo gasped! "How horrible! So I guess you want to just repopulate your specie and then maybe fight him back...? But I don't realluy like the idea of our children fighting..."

"Oooooh theeey willl be fiiine. Beeec auuuse they areee youour childreeen and stroooong!"

Bilbo smiled. "Thank you, Treebeard! I'll try my best and give you maybe children!"

The two kissed again and made love all night.
