**************************************************************************** **********

Emma and Billee went off to Bree to met their mysterious caller. I hadn't told Frodo yet… but I was going to, went I got over the shock myself. Legolas, Frodo, Boromir and Elrond were having a game of poker. Not much money, just food. I held Colan in my lap while I watched them. The kid was so sweet. My own collie dog sat at my feet, rolling around her old tennis ball. Casper. That was her name. Strange name for a girl dog, but, that's what you get for letting twins name your dog. The poker game finished a few minutes later and I handed a sleeping Colan over to Legolas, who took him up to the bedroom to put the little guy down for a nap.

I beckoned to Frodo. He followed me outside and out to the garden bench. I sat down myself with him next to me.

"What's wrong, honey?" he asked. I smiled.

"I have something to tell you…"

"What? What's wrong?"

"Y-you know that night we were walking in the gardens at school, about a month and a half ago? And we went to our secret spot?"

"Yeah…"

"Well…Umm… I'm pregnant, Frodo."

Frodo sat there, before realisation slapped him in the face. "I'm going to be a father?"

I nodded. Frodo jumped up and picked me up and spun me around. He seemed so happy. He was laughing and crying at the same time.

I laughed. He led me back into the house. Elrond and Legolas were talking about something. I don't know what. Frodo whispered in my ear. "We'll tell them at the reception, okay?"

"Okay." I whispered back. Boromir walked in from playing fetch with Casper. He smiled at us and went to sit by the fire. There was a knock at the door. I got up to answer it. There was Arwen and Aragorn. I smiled and invited them in. Arwen went straight to Elrond and kissed his cheek. "Hey daddy."

"Hello Arwen." Said Elrond, smiling at his daughter.

I went into the kitchen with Frodo. I began dinner while Frodo got beverages ready.



During dinner, which was baked chicken and salad, we told everyone what had been going on for the last three weeks. Nothing much had happened. But what had, we retold and laughed about all the funny things that had happened while I had been moving in to Bag End. Like when I had taken in a rather heavy bag and opened it up, only finding not clothes, but Sam's little brother, Graham. Sam had so totally gone ballistic. Frodo and I had been rolling on the floor laughing. That, of course, had been before I found out I was pregnant. As we talked, I hoped Emma and Billee would get to Bree okay.
