Epilogue
Five years later....
Frodo watched as little Samson played with the Elf children, in a field, in front of the smial. He smiled
at them as they rolled around in the hay. It reminded him so much of being a lad, back in the
Shire. He then looked down at his slightly swelled belly and ran his hand over it. For a minute, he
thought he felt the baby kick. But how could that be? It was far too early for the babe to start kicking.
It had been a good three months later before little Samson started kicking, Frodo thought to himself.
He then turned and looked at Samwise.
Samwise was triming a rosebed that he had planted outside the master bedroom window. He looked
quite content with what he was doing until he froze. Sam could always tell immediately when
he was being watched, especially by Frodo. He turned his head and looked at Frodo and gave him a knowing
smile. Frodo's face turned pink and he quickly turned to keep an eye on the children. Little did he know,
that Sam had promptly laid his shears down and was making his way towards him. Next, he felt Sam's
strong arms wrap around him, his brown hands wrapping across his swelled midsection.
Samwise let out a long contended sigh as he rested his head on Frodo's shoulder. "What you've been
thinkin' about, Frodo-dear?" he asked, pecking Frodo on the cheek. He then felt the new little one,
inside Frodo, kick. "Does that answer your question?" Frodo said as-a-matter-of-factly.
"My! This one's goin' to be a handful!" Sam exclaimed as he felt the baby kick, a second time. "Only
three months along, and already kickin'! I'll be! You're a marvel dear!" He lightly pat Frodo's stomach
and nuzzled his neck. "Do you know how happy you've made me, Frodo?"
"I know, Sam. What could be a better life than this? A wonderful home, good friends, a family....and I'm
glad you're here to share it all with me." Samwise then turned Frodo around in his embrace. He
brought up a calloused hand to stroke Frodo's cheek. "And what about this?...." Sam asked as he leaned in and
kissed Frodo. He was rewarded with a moan that Frodo put into the kiss. Finally he released Frodo's
lips and Frodo had to take a second to get his breath but finally said.
"Aye, that too." Frodo then brought his own hand up to stroke Sam's cheek. "I'm glad you're with me,
Samwise Gamgee. Here at the end of all things." Sam smiled but shook his head.
"Nay, Frodo-dear. I'd say this is only the beginning."
