All that week, she was very anxious awaiting Frodo to come. A couple of times, she'd open her mouth to say something to the kids, but then she would shut her mouth. She was pretty much a nervous wreck, waiting for Frodo to come home. But on Friday, there came a knock on the door, and she knew who it was.
'Gala, Pip and Alexiae, would you please get the door?' Lily wanted her kids to see their father first.
Lily heard them open the door, and she heard Frodo say 'Hullo Galadrielle, Hullo Peregrin, Hullo Alexandriae.' Her kids were silent for a minute, and then Gala screamed, 'Oh Mother, It's Frodo! He's come back!'
Lily ran to the door, in mock suprisement. 'Frodo...' is all she could say. Never in 10 years of him being gone did she ever think she would see him again. And there he was, standing in front of her kids, smiling.
She rushed towards him, and he swept her up into his arms. 'Oh Frodo, you're...you're back...'
'Yes, Lilith, I am back, if only for a short time. I have come for a little while. But I am here...'
In the middle of Frodo's speech, Sam came bursting through the door. 'Lily, I heard Gala scream and I...' Sam caught Frodo's eyes. His mouth dropped, and he said, 'Oh Frodo, you're back. How glad am I to see you. I thought you weren't coming back, but you did. Rose will be so happy to see you, and so will Elanor and Fro...'
'Yes they will. Tomorrow, if they can be spared, you should come to Bag End for a luncheon. I'm sure that Lilith can whip up a good meal.' Frodo said.
'And that I can. I will see you all tomorrow. Goodbye!' Lily said to Sam cheerfully, for she knew that tonight would be the best night, for her husband was back, and nothing could keep her out of his arms tonight.
