Chapter 1: A Different Kind of Battle
"Pippin! It's time!" The pain filled cry of Diamond Took echoed in the halls of their hobbit hole.
Hours later, a very pregnant Diamond struggled to give birth to the first child of Peregrin Took.
In the meantime, Peregrin sat in the hall, wringing his hands and jumping every time his wife screamed. Pippin was about to pass out from anxiety when the midwife came out of the room, wiping her hands on her apron.
"How is she? I demand to see my Diamond!" Pippin was more frightened than he had been during the war.
"Relax, Master Took, the Missus is just fine and so is the babe. You may go see them now." The midwife smiled. It amused her how the great Peregrin Took was more afraid of his wife's giving birth than fighting in a battle.
Pippin rushed into their bedchambers, intent on reaching his wife. When he first saw her lying motionless on the bed, he believed her to be asleep. He made his way to her side and gently pushed Diamond's russed curls away from her face and held her hand.
Ever so slowly, Diamond's crystal eyes began to open. After seeing Pippin's worried face, she smiled softly;
"It seems, milord, we have a son."
