~He loved her stomach. He loved running his fingers over the soft, smooth skin, running kisses from her naval up the center and in between her breasts. She held her hand on the back of his head as he graciously explored her body.~
He needed to get drunk. That would make for a quick solution. Get very, very drunk down at the Green Dragon, or smoke so much pipe-weed that he blacked out. Anything to get his mind of his current predicament.
But no, he couldn't do that. Not with her, resting in his room, down the hall while he sat in the den. He stood near the fireplace, resting his hand on the mantle and Pippin sat on the chair. "Is she sure?"
"Yeah," Merry intently stared at the fire.
"When did it happen?"
"Night before we rode for war," he dragged a hand over his face. "How could I let this happen?" he turned to Pippin.
"What are you goin' to do?"
"I don't know," he sighed. "I don't know what to do. I wasn't supposed to see her ever again."
"Does Estella know?"
"No," Merry almost shouted. "And you are not to tell her. Not yet. I don't know what to do about her."
"What about the baby?"
"Now I know why Gandalf got so frustrated with you all the time," Merry snapped. His younger cousin swallowed and recoiled back in the chair. "Sorry, Pip." He rubbed his face again.
Pippin saw the pain growing in his cousin. He could also see his lips quivering, trying to hold the tears back.
"I'm only thirty-four," Merry quietly said. "I'm not married, not to her, not to Estella. What will my parents say?"
"I suppose you're mother will be happy to have a grandchild," Pippin tried to lighten the mood.
"Maybe," Merry shrugged.
"I'm sorry Merry," was all the young Took could say.
Merry nodded, but his fight to hold back tears became futile. Small sobs escaped his throat as he sunk to the floor, tightly pressing his palms to his eyes. "Merry." Pippin went over to him. Merry willingly went into his arms and for the second time in his life, Pippin was caring for Merry.

Sorry for the lack of updateage, I'm glad some of you actually like this story. Also sorry if this chapter is cheesy. I like the beginning though LOL. But thank you all for the reviews, and to the one person who said something about Faramir, this is AU, so he's not important right now.
