(Jamie's POV)
I hung up the phone in disbelief. But, through my clouded mind, I went up to Ria's room and knocked on the door.
"Ria?"
"Yeah, Mum?"
"Get your things together, you are going to stay at Kane's for a while. Benny and a few others will look after you there."
"From Granddad?"
"Please, don't ever call him that. I don't want to be related to him."
"Sorry. From Galfo?"
"Yes. Now get your clothes and things together. Lucas is going to pick you up in the morning."
"Okay."
I left her to her own devices after that and knocked on the boys door.
"Come in?"
"Hey guys," I said. "You and Ria are going back to your place with Lucas in the morning. You'd better get all your stuff together."
"Okay, thanks for everything Mrs. Baggins." Said Kane. I had to smile and hugged him and then Vince.
"I have to say, I don't think I've ever met anyone so well behaved as you two."
I left the room and went downstairs. I rang a number I hadn't rung in almost ten years. After five or six rings, someone picked up.
"Hello?"
"Hi Aunt Lotti."
"Jamie-girl! How are you?"
"I'm great. Listen, I have a big favour to ask you."
"Shoot."
"Can the twins and Fortuna stay with you for a few days, maybe a few weeks?"
"Hold on, I'll just check..." she checked with her two friends and flatmates. "Sure. That's possible, as long as they don't mind sleeping in the living room."
"I'm sure it'll be fine. I'll be riding to Lorien with them pretty early the morning after tomorrow."
"Well, best you sleep. The trip takes eight hours on quick canter. If you go at full gallop it should take about six hours, but don't exhaust the horse."
"Sure thing, Lotti. We'll probably stop in and say hello to Baradas."
"Baradas Falkhorn?"
"The very same."
"Say hello for me."
I had to grin at that. It was a little known fact (known by my whole family, naturally) that Baradas and Lotti were 'intimate' just after highschool.
"Sure thing. Thanks Lotti, you're a life saver."
"I know, sweety. See you soon."
"Sure. Bye." And I hung up. Fortuna and the boys would be coming home soon. I spoke to soon. The was the sound of the door opening and the voices of my youngest running into the kitchen.
"Mummy! Hello!" called Todd.
"Hey guys, how was school?" I asked, walking into the room.
"It was great!" said Brodie, bouncing up and down. "We had a spelling Bee and Todd won!"
"Did you! Congratulations, Honey!" I hugged Todd, who showed off the medal and the book that he had won. "Wow! You're going to have fun reading this!" I said, opening the Harry Potter book. "Now listen you guys. Fortuna, you too. You guys are going to stay with Lotti in Lorien for a while. I'm not sure how long. But I'll call when you can come home. Okay?"
"Why are we staying at Aunty Lotti's place, Mummy?" asked Todd, looking up at me with the big blue kicked-puppy eyes.
"Lotti wants to see you, Todd. She wants you to stay and visit her friends over there. You'll get to meet Galadriel and Celeborn, who were two on my teachers at highschool."
"Cool. Is Ria going?" asked Fortuna.
"No, Lucky. She's going to stay with Kane and Vince. Now, A man named Lucas is going to come tomorrow to pick Ria and the boys up, and under no circumstances, are you allowed to run out and greet him. He's got dogs with him. Much more fierce than Casper, Starlet, Dino, Diana, Johno, or Millard. They are attack dogs, okay? Promise?"
"We promise." Said all the kids together. Ria, Kane and Vince came in.
"Hey mum. Lucas is picking us up tomorrow, isn't he?"
"Sure is. Lucky, do you want to run over to Merry's place and get your dad. He needs to know the plans."
(Todd's POV)
When Mummy said that we were going to Lorien, I almost cheered. Really, I did. I always wanted to go to Lorien, cause daddy and Mummy always said it was a beautiful place.
"Todd, Brodie, will you go out and feed the dogs for me, please?"
"Okay Mummy." Brodie said and we took the big bag of dog food and went outside, where all the dogs were tied to their kennels. When they smelt the food, they jumped up and almost ate us. I loved my dog, Dino, Uncle Bilbo had gotten each of us a dog when we turned one. Brodie's dog was Johno. Dino and Johno were both border collies. Like Starlet. Casper was a white retriever, Diana and Millard were blue heelers.

A/N: Okay. This was kinda long for me. As you can see there are now six dogs, one for each of the Baggins family. Jamie's dog: Casper. Starlet: Ria's dog. Diana: Fortuna's dog. Millard: Frodo's dog. Johno: Brodie's dog. Dino: Todd's dog. So there ya go.
