Years passed between Frodo and Bilbo within the Shire. Every summer Bilbo and Frodo would go and visit Thorin in Erebor, staying until their birthdays in September. Every time that they leave to go to Erebor, they were accompanied by Gandalf. When they leave to go back home to the Shire, they were accompanied by Kili and Oin. However, there was one year that Bilbo didn't went to Erebor on the day as he usually does. Bilbo had been so busy that year as he was helping out the mayor of the Shire that he was surprised to see Thorin and the others to come down there.

Frodo was thirty-years-old at the time and barely three more years until he became a matured adult. When Bilbo had returned home that day with Frodo who was chatting beside Sam, Bilbo was surprised to see Gandalf waiting for him in front of the entrance door and that when they entered, there was a feast on the table waiting for them, made by all the dwarves including Thorin.

"I...I don't believe it," Bilbo stammered as he stared at the table in front of him that was filled with his favorite foods with Frodo's.

"Gandalf told us why you were so busy that you couldn't come this year," Bifur explained with a smile.

"Helping out the mayor of the Shire must be a honorable thing to do," Thorin said.

"Funny that you should mentioned it," Bilbo said as he sat down on one of the chairs, "I just spoke with the mayor this morning and I told him that Frodo should be his new deputy instead of me," he said.

"What? Why?!" Cried the dwarves excluding Thorin.

"It wasn't for me anymore, even though I've only been doing it for a few months really. As if you hadn't noticed, I'm getting old," Bilbo said.

"Your not as old as Uncle Thorin!" Fili exclaimed as Thorin gave him a glare.

Bilbo laughed, "That's true. I'm 108-years-old and still fitting," he said with a small smile.

"Yea and the two of you are still married legally! Uncle Thorin is what, 256-years-old?" Kili asked as he tries to do the math.

Thorin sighed, "And I'm retiring next year," he announced.

"Wait, what?" Bilbo asked shocked as Frodo and Sam perked up.

"I'm getting old as well, Bilbo. It's time to hand down the throne to Fili once he gets married to that woman of his," Thorin said.

Fili huffed, "I am getting married, uncle. I proposed to her right before we left. We are getting married possibly during Durin's Day," he said proudly.

"Alright, so it will be during Durin's Day where you will receive your crown as King," Thorin said as he looked at Kili, "and when are you going to get married?" He asked.

Kili fidgeted, "Instead of all the talking, why don't we eat?" He asked as the other dwarves nodded in agreement.

"Actually, we have an announcement to make," Sam piped up making everyone look at him and Frodo who had sat down during their conversation and had been talking to one another quietly.

"What is it Sam?" Bilbo asked gently.

"Mr. Frodo and I have been dating," Sam said with a happy smile.

Frodo nodded, "We've been dating for three years now, Sam?" He asked.

"I believe tomorrow is our three years anniversary," Sam said.

"I'm happy for the both of you," Bilbo said as he stood up and walked towards them and kissed the both of them at the top of their heads.

"Your not mad?" Frodo asked as Bilbo sat down.

"Why would I be mad?" Bilbo asked surprised.

"I thought you might want an heir to the family so that our name could be past down," Frodo explained.

Bilbo shook his head, "As long as you're in love with Sam, I don't care about the family name. You can love whoever you want," he said smiling as he looked at Thorin who nodded in agreement.

"Um, I have an announcement to make," Kili said suddenly as everyone turned to look at him and he had paused on what he was eating to make his announcement. "I've been seeing someone secretly lately," he said.

"Who?" Thorin asked.

"I was seeing another male dwarf who lives within the city," Kili explained quickly.

Fili frowned, "I was wondering why you've been going out a lot lately," he said.

"The same as Frodo, I thought you might want me to have a heir to the family if Fili couldn't do it," Kili explained sheepishly.
Thorin sighs, "Kili, it doesn't matter whom you are dating, as long as you're happy. You know that dwarves doesn't care if you're with a male or female. Men cares, but not us," he said.

"Who is this lucky dwarf that gotten my brother's attention?" Fili asked.

"Derin Skybrace," Kili said dreamily.

"I never heard of him," Fili said with a frown.

"Nor have I," Thorin said nodding, "the next time we have dinner, invite him over. I want to meet him," he said as Fili nodded in agreement.

Kili's face lit up, "He will come, I promise!" He exclaimed happily.

"I do hope that our Hobbit friend would come to the wedding during Durin's Day," Thorin said as he looked at Bilbo.

Bilbo looked back at Thorin and smiled, "I wouldn't miss Fili's wedding day," he said.

"You're invited as well, Frodo and Sam," Fili said smiling.

Just then, there heard a loud "ow" coming from the open window. Everyone turned quickly to the source and had their weapons ready. Bilbo went over to the open window and looked below as he shook his head, he quickly went to the entrance door and opened it as he turned his head towards the window. "Merry and Pippin, what are you doing there eavesdropping on us?" He called out to them as the dwarves could hear.

"What? We weren't eavesdropping!"

"We were just merely checking to see if Frodo and Sam want to come out with us!"

"That is just a blunt lie. How much did you hear?" Bilbo asked as he grabbed both of their hands and brought them inside with a huff.

"Not much really!"

"Merry!"

"What? We just heard..." Merry didn't finished as he looked and saw that everyone was staring at them. Merry gulped, "we just wanted to see the dwarves! It's not everyday that we see dwarves coming to the Shire! We just want to see if the rumor was true!" Merry explained quickly.

Pippin rolled his eyes, "Merry..." he groaned.

"How long have you been sitting there?" Gandalf asked angrily.

"Well..." Merry began as Gandalf's look couldn't be more angrier; both Merry and Pippin were frightened. "We heard the whole entire thing! We heard that someone was getting married and that Sam and Frodo were together," he said quickly.

Pippin sighed, "Naive," he muttered.

"After dinner, you will clean the dishes as your punishment, is that clear?" Gandalf asked.

Merry and Pippin looked at one another as they looked at the dishes that was on the table, both of them groaned at the sight as there were so many. "Yes sir," they muttered.

"But we want to come with you!" Merry piped up.

"What?" Frodo asked surprised.

"We want to see where the dwarves live! We won't get in the way, we promise!" Merry exclaimed.

"What do you think Uncle?" Frodo asked as he too want Merry and Pippin to come with them so that he and Sam won't be the only Hobbits along for the ride.

Bilbo looked at his nephew and saw the pleading look in his eyes, "It's not until Durin's Day though," he said.

"Our folks wouldn't mind!" Merry said.

"I wonder why," Fili muttered.

"We can help in the kitchen! We know more recipes than Mr. Baggins!" Merry said.

"He won't stop begging until you say yes," Pippin added.

Bilbo looked at Thorin and Fili who looked at one another, "As long as your folks say it is okay, you can come," Fili said.

Merry and Pippin cheered, "You won't regret it!" Merry said happily.

"Oh and by the way, you don't know more recipes than me. I hope you know that," Bilbo said with a teasing smile.

"We'll just see," Merry added with a small smile.
