THANKYOU TO MY SECOND REVIEWER: Laurelin. YOU ARE THE BEST! * Gives her a
big hug *
To Laurelin: don't worry things shape up I promise. Who can resist Pippins hopelessly romantic charm? Not even my evil language teacher Mrs.Barcellos could (inside joke to all the Castaic middle school eighth graders who worship Tolkien's brain)
On with the fic!

I awoke the next morning, to a pain in my back, and a smell of food. I entered the kitchen to see Diamond cooking some type of delicious breakfast meal, that I did not get to figure out for some time, for she knocked my hands away with the final statement " you just as filthy as your house don't touch". I frowned " Good morning to you too." And sat in a chair. Diamond continued to busy herself with something in a frying pan. "Says who?" she replied coldly. Before I could reply, someone knocked on the door. Diamond left to answer it, but I followed her to the door. A young woman, with A baby in her arms, a toddler clutching her skirts, and a child holding her hand. "Hullo Rosie! " I said recognizing her. "Sam is calling a meeting with you and Merry" she said. " I will be there in a few minutes." I said happily. I went back tot the table and Diamond was holding out a plate of food. I tried to grab at it but she wouldn't let me have it. "Go wash your hands" She commanded.
DIAMOND
Our first day and he was already running errands, which is fine by me- I will have the entire house to myself. " Will you be fine on your own until the evening?" Pippin asked slipping a semi-clean shirt over his head. I helped Him pull it over his head and said " of course. I have a lot of cleaning to do this place is filthy." I watched his face fall and he took his hands in mine " Diamond. You don't have to clean. You're my wife, not my maid." I pulled my hands away and retorted coldly "I see no difference exept for the title" and pushed his breakfast into his hands and shoved him out the door before he could respond. This is the way it would be nearly every morning for the next few weeks.

I returned home to find my home cleaner than it had been when I moved in. The Kitchen Fireplace was completely spotless, and the once grimy cooking pot that hung there was now sparkling like it was new. The sitting room rug had been beaten and washed to look newly sewn. The sitting room chairs now had been dusted and washed and the library sparkled with cleanliness. That is where I found her. She had fallen asleep at the table with a book. Her curly Raven hair was strewn across her face in little strands. When she was asleep she wasn't cold or mean anymore. She looked absolutely beautiful. I softly shook her awake and asked "Your not going to sleep here all night now are you?" She made no reply but put the book away and left to her bedroom. When I cam in she had already crawled under the covers but she asked, "What did you do today?" in the kindest voice yet. "I was planning the new town square with Sam and Merry. They are making it bigger and better." I replied proudly. She muttered something indistinguishable. " I saw what you did today" I continued. " You really didn't have to, or at least wait until I was home to help you" She made no reply so I figured she was either asleep already or ignoring me. So I crawled into a heap of blankets and cloaks I had made into a bed on the floor and went to sleep sadly.
