(Wendy's POV)
I was left in shock when Colan said that to me. I loved him, but I knew that he was only doing it for Billee and everyone. Suddenly, Rage took over me. I stormed into the living room, an angry look on my face.
"You think I planned this?! You think I wanted to have kids so young? Well, you got another thing coming. I'm going. If you don't want me around, FINE! GOODBYE!!"
I stormed out of the house and jumped on my horse, Bowen and rode like a pack of wild Orcs were after me. I rode back to Silverwood.
(Elrond's POV)
I sat there, stunned. So, Wendy was pregnant. Billee was so angry. I've never seen my son so mad. But what disturbed me the most was when Wendy stormed out.
"Was that Wendy or my imagination?" I asked, still unable to believe the little gentle hobbit girl had taken a personality change. It was a little bit of a shock. Wendy wasn't the violent type, and with her like this, it was unbelievable. I think she has a little of Jamie in her somewhere.
(Jamie's POV)
There was a frantic knock at the door. I opened it to find Wendy, panting with rain rolling down her face. I hurried her inside and got a towel. She burst into tears.
"He didn't take it well, I gather." I said, giving her a hug.
"He told me that it was either him or the baby." Wendy sobbed. "I love him, but I don't want to kill something so innocent. Jamie, what do I do?"
I looked at Frodo and nodded. "Wendy, Frodo and I have been talking." I said. Wendy looked up.
"About what?" she sniffled.
"Well, if you go through with the pregnancy and still don't want the child, we will be happy to adopt it."
"Y-you'd do that? For me?"
"Honey, we've always wanted five or six kids, but I can't get pregnant again. So how about it?"
Wendy thought for a minute. "Yeah. That sounds like a good plan."
I smiled. "You can come see the baby whenever you like. I'll bet it will have your looks. The only thing is, you'll have to tell Blue and your parents."
Wendy chewed her lip. "They'll kick me out. I would have hurt them so badly."
"Honey, you're gonna have to tell them sooner or later. I'll talk to them. We'll all talk. You'll come home with Frodo and me on Sunday, after we've taken Fortuna and the twins back to Lotti's house. Okay?"
Wendy nodded. I picked up the phone. "Or we could ring them now."
Wendy chewed her lip again. "Can I do both?"
"Sure. Come on, we'll call now."
I dialed the Wandow's number. Blue answered. "Hello?"
"Blue, It's Jamie. Just ringing to tell you Wendy is safe and sound."
"Oh thank god. Mum and dad thought Colan had abducted her or something."
Wendy got on the other line. "H-hi Blue."
"Wendy? What were you thinking running off like that? Mum and Dad are frantic, Pippin and I have been going berserk."
"Blue," I said. "Don't worry her further. She's had a lot on her plate."
"Why? What's wrong?"
"Blue . . . I-I'm pregnant."
"WHAT?"
"Blue . . ." I said. "Are Christine and Bill there?"
"Yes. And they aren't going to be happy."
"Put them on."
"Okay . . . Mum, Dad, Wendy and Jamie are on the phone. They really need to talk to you."
"Hello?" Christine's voice said.
"Go on Wendy. Tell them."
"Mama. I'm pregnant."
"Oh my god. My baby." Christine sounded near hysterical.
"Christine! Settle down. Wendy and I have come up with a plan."
"It'd better be good."
"It is Mama. I'm going to have the baby . . ."
"Shit." Bill must have been on another line.
"But Jamie is going to adopt it as her own. Colan doesn't want it and neither do I. I know you want support me financially if I keep it. And neither will Elrond's family. I'll be alone with a baby on my hands."
Bit by bit the plan came about, and it turned out, we didn't nee to seen Christine and Bill about it. They agreed. They said it was fair that Wendy gives up the baby to me, and that the child should know whom its real mother was. I promised I would tell it as soon as it was old enough.
Wendy was relieved.
"But," said Christine. "I'm disappointed it you, Wendy. You were irresponsible. So was Colan. I'm glad you told us though. It would be a terrible secret. I forgive you."
"And I will too." Said Bill. "Wendy, my youngest daughter. I am disappointed with you. But I'm glad you told me. Thank you."
"Thank you reasoning, Daddy. I love you."
"I love you too, honey. Come home soon."
"Will do. Love you mama."
"Love you, sweetie. See you soon."
We hung up the phone and Wendy gave me a hug. "Thank you Jamie. You're the greatest friend I've ever known."
"Aww shucks. Don't go all mushy on me now. No one likes a kiss-ass."
We all laughed, relieved. It felt good to help somebody. Wendy was a good kid. She didn't need anything like that on her conscience.
