'Don't worry'

Sam did not go to bed that night, he walked from room to room, checking on Merry and Pippin. But finally he slipped into a sleep without dreams while he was sitting in a chair next to Pippin. A view hours later the sun was shining merrily trough the window, down to where Pippin was laying. The little one stirred and mumbled some words. Suddenly he leapt up with a cry. Sam almost fell out of his chair. He looked around and saw Pippin crying and shuddering. He immediately got up and hugged Pippin, trying to comfort him.

"Shh..shh...It's okay..You're fine." He mumbled and blamed himself for falling asleep. But Pippin didn't seem to understand. He tried to get up and looked around frightened.

"Merry! M..Merry.." He cried and struggled. By this time his cousin had heard his screaming.

"He's okay, Pip. He's fine.." Sam tried to make clear, but Pippin didn't listened. Merry immediately got up and walked to Pippin's room.

"Pippin, it's okay. I'm here, don't worry." He said while he sat down on the bed, leaving Sam standing next to him. His younger cousin grabbed Merry and mumbled something. It looked like he was reassured and a minute later he was asleep again. Merry turned around at Sam and smiled.

"Could you do something, Sam?" Merry said "I know for certain his mom and dad are worried sick about him.."

Sam understood what Merry was trying to say. "I'll go and tell them, now." He said. "I'll ask Mr. Frodo if he can come while I'm gone, It's not good for ya to stay alone, if ya know what I mean." Merry smiled "Okay, Sam. I understand, thank you." Sam smiled and got up to get some stuff for the journey.

He left about half an hour later. Merry was sure Pippin's family would be really glad to know Pippin was save, but still...He was worried about Pippin, the child had been like ice before they finally reached Sam, he could get sick. He didn't know if Pippin would survive that.

Suddenly the front door opened and Merry looked up out of his pondering. Frodo appeared in the doorway. He saw Merry sitting in the corner and Pippin in the bed, he smiled.

"Sam told me everything, how is he doing?" Frodo asked and walked over. Merry looked back at Pippin and waited before he answered.

"He awoke about an hour ago, but not for long. He did not wake after that." He said and looked at Frodo again. Frodo nodded and walked into the kitchen.

"Sam told me you did not have your breakfast, what do you want? Eggs?" He asked over his shoulder and before Merry had answered he grabbed a pan and eggs.

"No thanks, I don't feel like eating right now." Merry mumbled.

"Sure you do, you have to eat something." Frodo answered and like that settled it, he began to make two omelets. Soon enough the room was filled with a lovely smell of eggs and lots of different spices and Merry realized he was hungry after all. Frodo got the omelets on two plates and placed them on the table.

"Come Merry, Second breakfast is ready" Frodo laughed and Merry came out of the room quickly and sat down next to his cousin. After the first three bites Merry looked up at Frodo.

"Thisw is delicwious! What's inw itw?" He asked and stuffed more omelet in his mouth. Frodo had observed Merry eating and laughed.

"Aaah...that's my little secret." He said and winked. Merry looked disappointed but then he decided he rater eat his omelet first, then arguing with him. Both Hobbits were to busy eating so they didn't talk much, but not long after that Merry had finished eating and sat back.

"That was the most delicious omelet I ever ate." He said and patted his belly. Frodo smiled.

"I knew you would like it." He answered. He got up, grabbed the plates and walked back to the kitchen.

"Thank you, Frodo." Merry said and got up too. Frodo turned around.

"And how are you?" He asked and looked into Merry's eyes. Merry shrugged. "I'm okay...but I'm worried about Pip. What if he gets ill?" He said and his eyes flashed to Pippins room for a second.

"Let's just hope that doesn't happen." Frodo answered and sighed. He grabbed his cousins hand and Merry looked back at Frodo. "If he does, we will do everything we can, Merry.."

Merry nodded and his mouth was dry. '...if...' He thought.

"Let's get you to bed now." Frodo said and turned around.

"But Frodo..-" Merry began.

"No buts.."

"Yeah, but..-"

"Now!"

"I..-"

"No."

"Frod-."

"Eh!"

"But I'm fine!"

"Merry.."

"No?"

"No."

"Not even for a hour or two?"

"I mean now."

Merry sighed. "Okay, fine..."

Merry walked back to his room and got in his bed. Frodo smiled.

"Just get some rest, Merry." He said and left the room. Merry closed his eyes. A minute later he turned around, and then again...and again. He sighed and opened his eyes again. "Easy for you to say...." He mumbled but after a long time he finally fell asleep.
