Chapter 33 Shocked.

"What!" I asked shocked.

"Are you mad Pippin?" she asked confused. I wasn't mad, just shocked. Of all the things I thought she'd say it defiantly wasn't that she was pregnant.

"No, no sweetie. I'm not mad just surprised." I said and the shock began to wear off. "Oh Di!" I hugged her tightly. She laughed and kissed me.

"So, now what do we do?" I asked smiling.

"Talk to Merry, he'll tell you everything." Diamond grinned, "I need to talk to Estella." I nodded kissing her and walked over to Merry. I really wanted to spend time with Diamond but I knew it was important that I talked to Merry. We walked outside and down to the river.

"Alright what do I need to know?" I asked curiously.

"Lasses go through this weird stage. They have cravings and get very grumpy. They can get tired and shout. Just treat her nicely and give her what she wants. Don't get angry cause then she'll cry. Stella wanted apple juice all the time. I went to the market all the time. You'll find out soon. I guess that's it any questions?" That can't be it! I thought. Oh well I was going to have to figure it out myself. I walked back into the hobbit hole and kissed Diamond.

"You know I think I've started the cravings. It's mashed taters." she smiled and sat in my lap.

"I'll get some!" Estella walked laughing into the kitchen and walked back five minutes later with a steaming plate if mashed potatoes and a bowel of gravy. Diamond ate the whole thing in three bites.

"Woah there Di! Don't you drown the baby in potatoes!" Merry laughed and I smiled. She placed her empty plate and bowel on the table smiling. She sighed happily and snuggled into my chest. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. The others had left earlier. I looked outside and realized how late it was.

"You wanna sleep in the guest room?" Merry asked yawning.

"Sure" I responded still shocked by the news. I walked slowly into the large comfteble guest room. Diamond walked in behind me.

"So, you're not mad?" she asked timidly. How did she get that thought in her head.

"No! No. Why would you think that!" She shrugged and smiled.

"You looked so surprised." she looked down almost embarrassed. I smiled and hugged her tightly.

"I was, I was never mad though." she smiled and kissed me lightly.

"So, the hard part will be naming it." she said thoughtfully.

"Do you hope it's a lass or a lad?" I asked.

"As long as it's alive. I think we should name it after someone on your adventures."

"Good idea. Let's wait until they're born though. We'll know for sure then." I said as we fell asleep in each other's arms.

Author's note: I'm sooooo sorry that took so long! I was in Washington D.C. for a week for a forum I had to go to and I have been studying for my assessments the rest of the time. Hope you liked this chapter!

Reviews:

Araphin- Thanks! I'm adding him to my very long list of people to hug.

Littlesaiyangirl- Thanks! It took me a very long time to make up that name. At first it was going to be Theo short for Theoden but I liked Bo more.

Ice Ember- That's okay I've been behind on posting just in case you didn't notice. Thanks!
