Chapter Four: Yay a wedding!! ***** ******* ********** ********* ********* ********** ****** ******** *
Years had passed since Bilbo Baggins had left the Shire. Sam had now how her gaffer would say 'bloomed,' she had attracted the attention of the most the hobbits in the Shire, much to her Gaffer's annoyance and pleasure. He still insisted she married, but after a strong argument and several arguments leading Sam to run away and stay with Merry, Gaffer had decided to wait until his daughter was ready. So now Sam had taken other her father's work, after he become too old, and there was no one else to do it. Not that Sam minded, Merry was around almost every week jumping around while Sam worked hard on the garden. Frodo often came out to talk to Sam, but they were always being interrupted. Now as the years had passed, Merry was sitting happily on a hill soaking up the early sun rays of summer.
'I don't know how you could sit there like that,' muttered Sam, it was a day off for her, and she was spending in sitting on a hill with Merry. 'My Gaffer would kill me if he knew I was relaxing.'
'Relax Sam,' sighed Merry, 'Gaffer will never know.'
'But I have to be back home early, Marigold has called us all their.'
'Wonder what that's about?' smirked Merry winking.
'I expect her and Tom are getting married.'
'Or Toms got her pregnant.'
Sam's eyes widened in shock and she spluttered. 'Gaffer would go spare.'
'You need to chill out and get a sense of humour.' Sighed Merry again.
'I can't Merry, I have responsibilities.'
She rolled her eyes giggling.
'It's not funny.' Growled Sam.
'I think you enjoy your responsibilities.' Grinned Merry, 'The boss seems to enjoy seeing you as well.'
She blushed, 'I told you a million times Mr Frodo doesn't look at me in that way.'
'No he looks at you in the true love way.'
Sam had finally had enough and stood up angrily, and started to walk off down the hill.
'Sam where are you going?' yelled Merry.
She ignored her.
'I didn't mean it!'
Sam shook her head, She knew Merry didn't mean to upset her. But her out look on life slightly upset Sam.
'Where have you been?' Growled her Gaffer, as soon as she walked in.
'I'm sorry Gaffer, Miss Merry needed my help.'
'I don't know what that girl's thinking being friends with you. You're a bad influence on the young Miss.'
Sam opened her mouth, feeling anger well up inside her but then stopped and closed it.
'Sam you're finally here,' laughed her sister, grabbing her arm and leading her into a room where all her family was sat.
'Well Marigold.' Smiled her Gaffer fondly. 'Tell us why you've brought us all here.'
Marigold grabbed Tom's hand, 'Gaffer, me and Tom. We're getting married.
A wide grinned spread across the whole of her family's face. 'That's brilliant Marigold. Finally a family wedding to be proud of,' he smiled widely while shooting a glare in Sam's direction. 'We have to celebrate, Let's go to the green dragon, drinks on me.'
'Wait a minute Gaffer,' smiled Marigold, 'We want Sam to be bridesmaid,'
Sam blushed, 'I couldn't possibly-'
Tom smiled, 'We insisted,'
'If you aren't there to be my bridesmaid then I want no wedding at all.' Said Marigold.
'Okay, as long as I can bring Merry.'
Tom laughed, 'Bring Merry, Pippin and Mr Frodo. Everyone's invited.'
Gaffer smiled more, 'well lets get some ale to celebrate.
Sam was hoping Rosie wouldn't be working, but she was let down seeing her running around carrying drinks while flirting with Frodo.
'Sam!' smiled Pippin, signalling her to come over. She took one step forwards till her Gaffer pulled her back frowning, so in the end they ended up sitting near Ted Sandyman, who kept looking at Sam like she was a piece of meat.
Sam hated every minute, keeping firmly away from Ted, while glancing innocently over at Frodo, Pippin and Merry, while drinking a lot.
'Easy Sam,' muttered Marigold noticing her sister drinking beer like water, Sam was quickly getting drunker and drunker.
'We've got to stop her.' Hissed Merry angrily to the two hobbits next to her.
'She seems fine Merry, stop worrying.' Smiled Pippin.
Frodo shook his head, as Gaffer's voice boomed over the pub.
'Marigold has always been a model daughter getting married and everything. Now Samantha she's a different story, should have been a boy. Got some bad blood in her. She should marry, actually I demand she marries. Do you agree Sam?'
By now Sam was so drunk, she just nodded.
'Finally a success.' Laughed Gaffer, 'two marriages, and Ted since you asked earlier you are just the lad.'
Sam suddenly felt something coming up in her throat and dashed out the pub. Ted suddenly followed after her.
'Right, that's it.' growled Merry.' She stood up, and was surprised to see Frodo standing as well.
Sam was outside leaning shakily against a wall, when Ted came out smiling.
'Looks like we're going to be married.'
Sam looked at him, with blurred eyes. 'I'd never marry you.'
'Now come on Sam,' he smiled more, 'I know you like me,'
'I hate you,' she growled, 'You're always mocking Mr Bilbo and Mr Frodo. When they're the kindest people I know.'
He suddenly turned angry, 'Mr Frodo is cracked Sam. I've seen the way you look at him, he's out of your league.'
'I love him,' she growled.
'You'll have to love me now we're getting married, he angrily grabbed her face and went to kiss her. That was until a loud cracking noise echoed across the place and he went flying across a path landing with a painstaking crunch.
Frodo stood there angrily, his fist still raised, while his blue eyes flashed dangerously.
'Ohh Mr Frodo,' cried Sam, she flung her arms round him. His angry expression faded and he gently hugged her tightly back.
'Ted Sandyman,' hissed Merry coming forwards angrily.
He had now stood up and was glaring angrily at the hugging couple. 'She's mine Baggins.' He hissed. 'We're getting married.'
'Over my dead body,' hissed Merry back, and if looks could kill he would be six feet under.
'Go back to your boyfriend, girl.' Ted hissed, 'You can't do a thing to hurt me, you haven't got the guts.'
'Ohh yeah.' She roared, and suddenly sprung up hitting him in the place where it would hurt the most.
He glared at her through the pain, 'You haven't seen the last of me.'
'I advise you go,' growled Frodo coldly.
'I'll tell everyone what you did to me,' hissed Ted.
'And I'll tell everyone about you trying to take advantage of Sam when she's obviously drunk.' Said Pippin angrily coming out the pub.
Ted stared, obviously out numbered, and turned and stalked angrily away.
'Where were you when we needed you?' growled Merry angrily at Pippin, 'sometimes Pippin Took you're no use at all!'
'I came eventually,'
'Eventually, sometimes I doubt you even care!'
Sam now burst into hysterical tears, stopping the arguing. 'I'm sorry it's my entire fault.' She cried, 'And I was terrible to you Merry and you still helped me.'
'That's what friends are for,'
Frodo smiled, lightly wiping the tears with his fingers. He gently leaned in to kiss her, till Sam suddenly pushed him away and was violently sick down the side of the pub's wall.
'Ohh great,' muttered Merry, half looking amused.
'You told me to have more fun,' muttered Sam, now shivering all over from the shock.
'But getting yourself drunk.' Scowled Merry. 'And agreeing to an arranged marriage.'
Sam started to sniff again, to Frodo gently hugged her. 'It wasn't her fault, she was drunk.'
Pippin raised an eyebrow, 'I wouldn't call that drunk, I'd call it-'
Merry had suddenly whacked him round the head.
'What was that for?'
'I thought it would knock some sense into you. We better get Sam home,' smiled Merry, 'It's still early evening.'
'Gaffer will be angrily.' Cried Sam, pulling away from Frodo and stumbling slightly.
'It doesn't matter, you need to get home and sleep this off. You'll have forgotten about it tomorrow.'
She sighed agreeing, letting them lead her back to her house. She knew Gaffer would be angry when he got in. But she ignored the thought and fell straight onto her bed and went into an uneasy sleep.
