Snow Flakes By Robin Girl Chapter 2

(^_^ What is Pippin doing on this journey to begin with? LOL. Sorry, I was reading a review and thought it was hilarious. Don't know why. O.O; Well anyway, Pip is in this story at that age because I want to. LOL. )

That night, makeshift beds were laid out around the fire. Legolas sat his right next to Pippin's allowing Merry to have the other side. The elf looked over and saw the youngest hobbit curled against Merry playfully giggling.

"Stop it botheran." Merry scolded laughing swatting Pippin's hand away. Pippin giggled and unbuttoned Merry's vest again right after Merry buttoned it back up.

Pippin's teeth were beginning to chatter the cold air was getting to his small body again. "Merry?"

"Yes?"

"Is it ever going to get warm again?" The young Took snuggled close stealing as much heat from his cousin as possible.

"I don't know Pip. I just don't know." Merry ruffled his younger cousin's curls soothingly, "Don't you worry about it and use me as your heat alright?"

Pippin nodded burying his face in Merry's neck. "Are those birds coming to get us again?"

"Of course not. Gandalf.has put a spell.yes that's right a spell on them. They can't come back."

"Really? Oh Merry, I hope so." His green eyes scanned the darkness and he saw Sam holding Frodo. "Frodo's cold to."

Merry glanced over to where his cousin was looking and sighed. He couldn't tell Pippin what was the real reason. The real reason was that a fever had popped up and Frodo had collapsed. Sam had immediately gathered his master in his arms and held him Well, alright, maybe Pippin wasn't to young, but he didn't want Pippin to worry about Frodo. Cause the young one would. "Yup, Sam is keeping him warm."

Pippin knotted his fingers in Merry's vest using his cousin's chest as a pillow yawning.

"Alright, we all need to get some sleep." Aragorn called, "Boromir had first watch. Remember to keep warm and snuggle close to each other."

Everyone voice their replies and snuggled down in their bedrolls. Pippin curled in Merry's bed forgetting his own. Merry laughed kissing Pippin's forehead. "You're a mess." Pippin nodded sleepily proud of the conviction.

Legolas stood and joined Boromir at the fire.

"You should be asleep."

"Elves don't sleep." The Elf Prince replied sitting beside the Man of Gondor. "I'm worried about Little Peregrin." A little sneeze emitted from the pile of sleepers. Both looked over and watched Pippin sneeze again. Merry sat up handing the Seven-Year-Old his hankerchief, which the youngster took gratefully.

Legolas winced as he felt Pippin's energy level drop immensely.

"Merry I don't feel good."

Aragorn sat up glancing worriedly at Legolas. "What hurts little one?"

"My tummy and my chest." The hobbit replied shivering.

"You're probably just tired Pip."

Sam sat up looking around, he couldn't figure out why everyone looked so serious. "Mr. Merry what is wrong?"

Then his blue eyes fell on Pippin who had once again found a warm spot curled in Merry's arms.

"Is Frodo asleep?"

Sam looked down and nodded, "Yes sir, he is. Why?"

Gandalf grunted, "We don't need him worrying sick over Pippin and the Ring."

To the Fellowships surprise Pippin's bottom lip started to quiver. Then tears pooled in the young ones eyes.

"I'm making Frodo sick." The tears spilled and the young Took clung to his older cousin sobbing.

"Hush goose. You're not making Frodo sick." Merry replied soothingly caressing Pippin's curls gently. "Gandalf just doesn't want Frodo to catch what you've got. Do you remember what your mum said?"

Pippin nodded, "She said that only you and I are allowed to share sicky."

Merry smiled kissing Pippin's nose. "That's right. So we can't let Frodo get it now can we?"

Pippin shook his head sneezing again. "How come I'm sick? I was fine before dinner."

Merry unfortunately didn't have the answer for that one. They had been very good at keeping Pippin warm. "Some times sicky hides and when it can't hide anymore it comes out."

"Oh." Pippin replied. Then the young hobbit sat up and put his small hand to his mouth. He kissed it then blew it towards Frodo.

"What was that?"

Pippin leaned back again smiling tiredly. "I gave Frodo a good night kiss."

"Oh?" Boromir replied.

"I blew him a kiss. Merry does it all the time." Pippin turned slightly then kissed his cousin's cheek. "Good night Merry."

"Good night Pippin." Merry laid his cousin back down the blanket. After bidding a good night to the others he to went back to sleep.
