I personally like this chapter because it well you are just going to have to read it to find out now wont you? HA!
Rosie looked out her window. It was going to be another wonderful day. But not wonderful enough. Sam had been gone for almost more then a year now. And her father was still making her see that Saradore. But she told her father straight out that she didn't want anything to do with him. Rosie was not aloud to leave the house with out one of her brothers now. Since there was some news about these strange folk around, and battles and war and what knots, Mr. Cotton was taking no chances what so ever. He was going to make sure his daughter, his only daughter, was safe. As well as Mrs. Cotton of course. So he had made his youngest son Carl, which everyone called him Nibs. So Nibs had to go with his sister where ever she went. Rosie didn't like it just as much as Nibs didn't like it. But it was his fathers wish that he protect his sister and his mother. So that was what he was doing. Rosie came down the stairs to see her brother at the table, where usually their father sat.
"Where's Dad?" She asked. Nib looked up from his breakfast.
"Oh, out...there was some big commotion or something so he is out side. He thinks that he can take care of those ruffians. I doubt it though. I think he should be coming back soon." Nib's went back to eating. Lily turned around and almost bumped into her daughter.
"OH! Rosie girl sit down and have some breakfast now...you haven't eaten anything lately." Rosie looked at her mother.
"No thanks I am not that hungry..." Rosie looked down at the food. She made a face.
"Rose....its that damn boy...." Her mother put down the food. Nib pricked up his ears.
"What boy?" he said as he looked up at his sister.
"No one...." Rosie said. She gave her brother a look.
"Oh it's more then just someone..." Lily said.
"That Sackville?" He said.
"NO!" Rosie cried at her brother. She could feel her stomach turn.
"Its..." their mother began. There was this commotion out side. They heard dogs barking. There was shuffling from out side. They stopped. They couldn't hear what was going on out side. There Tom Cotton came running down the path way with sons.
"Nay! Its not one of them ruffians, it's a hobbit by They the size of it, but all dressed up all queer? HEY!" Mr. Cotton called out. "Who are you, and what's all this to-do?" he called out.
"It's Sam...Sam Gamgee I've come back!" It was Sam's voice that came from the distance. Mr. Cotton and his three other sons Tom, Jolly, and Nick came up to see Sam perched up on a pony.
"Sam? Sam Gamgee? Well that really is you! We all thought that you were all dead!" Mr. Cotton said. Sam started to laugh.
"No sir I aint dead. And neither is Mr. Frodo, or Merry Brandybuck and Pippin Took. We're going to clear out these ruffians and their Chief too. We're starting now!" Sam declared.
"Well that's good." Said Nick. He looked at his brother Jolly then back at Sam.
"So it's begun at last! I've wanted some help with that but no one would want to help...I have had the wife and Rosie to think about." Mr. Cotton said. Sam perked right up when he heard Rosie's name said.
"What about Mrs. Cotton and Rosie?" He said. "It isn't safe for them to be left all alone." Sam had this feeling of worriedness on him
"Oh, there are safe. I have Nib lookin after them. But you can go and help him if you have a mind..." Mr. Cotton said with a grin. Sam smiled. "Well we are off to see what we can do!" Mr. Cotton said and he and the boys were off. With that Sam hurried up to the house. There was Nibs on the door step holding a hay-fork. Sam stopped and looked at him.
"Its me!" Sam called out to Nibs. Nibs squinted to make out who it was. "Sam Gamgee!" Then the door opened and there stood Rosie and Mrs. Cotton. "Good Evening Mrs. Cotton....Hullo Rosie!" Sam said. Rosie's heart was racing. She got passed her brother and she ran to Sam. Sam hopped off his pony and Rosie came into his arms. She hugged him so tight.
"OH SAM!" She cried. A tear came down her face.
"I missed you too Rosie girl...." Sam said lightly. He looked up at Nibs and Mrs. Cotton. She smiled and she hit her son and she made him go inside the house.
"I almost thought you had left me for good...but I would have never given up hope that my Sam would come back to me...I was going to wait till the ends of the earth just to see you ride back here into the Shire..." She said. Another tear came down her face. Sam pulled her away. He looked at her. He brushed the tear away.
"Don't cry Rosie girl...I'm back...and I am not going anywhere...." He said. Rosie smiled.
"OH where have you been Samwise?" She said.
"On a grand adventure. But I don't have time now. I have to get rid of these ruffians." He said. Rosie nodded. She backed away from him. Sam mounted his pony once again. He turned. "I'll be back." He said.
"You promised last time!" Rosie said.
"I promise this time and every other time that I say something." Sam said. Rosie smiled and he road off. Rosie held her dress. She couldn't believe that was her Samwise Gamgee back. Nibs came out after Sam had gone.
"I thought he and the rest were..."
"Don't. They are not. So you don't need to worry about it Nibs." Rosie walked back to the house. Tears were on her face. Lily looked at her daughter. Rosie smiled at her mother like she hasn't in a long time. Lily came up to her daughter and placed a hand on her cheek.
"I can see now that you are happy now." She said. Rosie could feel it down in her stomach that her mother finally accepted her love for Sam. And she was thankful.
There you have it there should be more to come...please just let me know! Thanks so much!
