Chapter 2
Sleeping Problems
~~ ^^ I know, as if Pip wasn't already adorable as old as he is now change the age to six..*cuddles him*... ~~ "Come now time for bed..." Frodo said pulling the youngest to his feet.
"No, I don't want to and I'm not sleeply." Pippin knew he was lying, he also knew that Frodo knew he was lying. But he wanted to stay up not go to sleep.
"Come on Pip, I'll go with you..." Merry knew it was no use, Pippin did not go to bed for nothing.
"No!!"
Merry knelt down in front of Pippin, "What's wrong?" He saw Pippin's eyes tearing up. "Don't cry what's wrong?"
"I don't want the Black Riders to get me..." Pippin stammered.
"It's ok..." Merry opened his arms and let Pippin fall into them, "The Black Riders won't get you..."
Strider watched on thinking. Part of him wanted to hold the young hobbit. The other part of him wanted to scold him for being foolish.
"Are you sure Merry? Cause if they don't take me then they could take you or Frodo or Sam..or even Strider....I don't want them to take you or anyone..."
"They aren't going to take anyone. Now come on..."
Pippin shook his head his tiny fingers on the hand that wasn't hurt knotted in Merry's shirt. "Not unless everyone goes..."
Frodo sighed knowing there was no other way. "Fine..let's all go to bed..we have to get up early anyway..."
Pippin stood up and followed Merry to their sleeping bags. "Merry sleep next to me please.."
"Alright Pip, I'll do that..." Merry smiled and helped Pippin get ready. Since his little cousin was one handed he couldn't do what he wanted. He hoped that Pippin didn't notice that he'd forgotten his teddy. The youngest hobbit didn't ask for it but he might..
"Merry?!!?"
Merry dreaded the question, "Yeh?"
"I got to go can you come with me?!?"
Merry let out a small sigh of relief. "Yeh come on..."
Strider watched them leave. After making sure no one was watching he undid Pippin's sleeping bag and fluffed the pillow up then he put a canteen of water near the make-shift bed. This was no place for a child to sleep. But it would do. Strider hoped the temperture wouldn't drop to much tonight. Was he feeling love towards the young hobbit?
"Come on this way Pippin..."
It was Merry. Quickly Strider moved back to his spot looking like he'd done nothing.
Merry appeared carrying Pippin who was sleepily yawning. Frodo and Sam were already asleep beside Merry and Pippin's bed rolls.
"Good night Pip.." Merry placed a fatherly kiss on Pippin's forehead then laid down beside his friend and fell asleep almost immediately.
Strider very quietly laid his roll out beside Pippin then went to sleep also. Soon all of the Co. were asleep.
