*Numb*
13 months later….
Peregrin and his friend's road upon their ponies, heads held high. Meriadoc and Peregrin could not help but rub it in Old Proudfoots face, by just nodding their heads to him and puffing out their chests to display their uniforms.
They watched as Frodo, and Samwise went to Bag End. Meriadoc soon went on his own road to Brandybuck Hall.
Pippin took a breath as he steered towards 'The Floating Log' Only Diamond in his thoughts.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Hello!" Pippin said in a friendly voice, the owner of the pub turned and saw him. He glared, at his former best costumer.
"You have a lot of nerve showing up here Peregrin Took!"
"What?"
"Leaving Miss Diamond alone with a-"
"Now wait half a minute! It was not by my own choice to leave the Shire! In fact I came here to see Diamond."
"You'll have to get by me first."
"Fine then." The owner of the pub put up his fists. Pippin yawned and drew his sword, "You were saying?"
The owner gulped and told Pippin, reluctantly that Diamond was in the back.
*********************
Pippin made his way through the pub into the storeroom, he saw Diamond cleaning up.
"Diamond…"
She turned swiftly, "P-Peregrin?"
"Yes" he smiled, Diamond came up to him looked him in the eye, then slapped him hard across the cheek.
"Diamond!"
"That was for leaving me." Then she hit him in the gut. "That was for leaving our son."
"I didn't mean to leave- wait s-s-s-s son?!?"
Diamond crossed her arms, "Yes Pippin, our son, and remember the night of Bilbo's birthday, the night he disappeared?"
Pippin muttered again, "Son" before he fainted.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
When Pippin revived it was dark, and the pub was empty and being washed up. He saw Merry and Diamond talking. Merry told her of the great mission, quest…thing. (In the words of Pippin) He had just finished when Diamond ran to him and hugged him, "Oh Pippin forgive me. But when I found out you were already gone and…"
"Its okay," Then it hit him again, he sat up quickly, "Son! What dies he look like? What's his name? Does he take after you or me?
Diamond laughed she went to a nearby table were Estella Boldger was holding a bundle in her arms. Diamond took the bundle and put him in Pippins arms. "We have not thought of a name fair enough for this little Took." Pippin then looked for the first time upon his sleeping son.
Brownish blonde hair covered the five month olds little head, tiny fingers grasping, he opened his eyes and they were a green, like his fathers. He giggled and Pippin smiled at this. Then his son grabbed his nose and would not let go…"Diamond!"
She took her son back and looked at him. "Can you think of a name for him I'm afraid we have not settled on a permanent one yet…"
"Faramir."
"OH…its perfect! What does it mean?'
"Jeweled Hunter."
But Pippins eyes furrowed, "Pippin? What's wrong?"
"There is something I need to do."
"What?"
"Something I should have done along time ago, for your own and now our sons safety."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Elegtine heard the bell; she went to open the door. She gasped and gave a cry when she saw her son standing there.
"Paladin! Pearl! Penciveira, Pimpernel! Come quick. He was surrounded by hugs and kisses. Then Paladin entered the room. He put his hand on his son's shoulder, but Pippin
Pulled away.
"Peregrin!" His mother hissed, "Give your father a hug!"
"Why should I? What ever has he done to help me?"
"Pippin!" She was about to lecture him when his father raised a hand.
"Certainly he is tired and does not know what he speaks of…" He started to say and put his hand again on Peregrin's shoulder.
Pippin drew his sword and then looked to his mother and sisters, "Mum, sisters, get in the house now."
They obeyed.
"Pip-"
"Don't you dare!" Breathed Pippin through is teeth still pointing his sword at his father, "Call me that!"
Paladin's face turned red and he tried to take away the sword from Pippin, but Pippin was now trained in battle and easily avoided the grasp.
He quickly turned and hit his father with the hilt of his sword. Paladin fell to the ground the blade was pointed at his throat.
"Now listen to me and listen to me good father." He spat the name you like dirt. "You have threatened me, you have even hurt me, but you made a deadly mistake when you threatened Diamond. And I won't stand if my son comes here and you attack him so I want you to run and run far. I could tell the sheriff about you and all your drunkenness and abuse upon me! So run."
Paladin laughed,
"What are you laughing about?"
"You have no proof,"
"The burns and scars…"
"Injuries during your travels."
"I told Diamond…"
"She is your wife, of course she would stay on your side…"
"You could tell them…"
"HA! That's a laugh. Its my word over your own, right I will go up and tell the sheriff, and say, 'Excuse me but I'm turning myself in for abusing my son and heir, for drinking over the limit, excessive amounts of alcohol and threatening you. And when in hell's name will I do that?"
Pippin raised an eyebrow and smiled, "You just did." And the sheriff and his deputies came out form the cluster of bushes.
"Paladin Took you are under arrest."
As they locked the former Thian in chains Pippin went right up to him and whispered, "You deserve it…Bastard." And they took him away.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It took much explaining to his family, and after much crying, he knelt near Elegintine.
"Mother…"
"Yes, Peregrin." Her eyes red and puffy.
"I have someone to introduce you too."
"And who would that be?"
"My son."
She fainted.
