Stupid laptop, I had to start F again.
Forever and Forget – Partly made-up from old fics I'd wrote ages ago. They're still good though, in my opinion. And I did add more stuff. Even though I wrote Forget, I still don't believe Merry would do anything like that :)
Family – Arrival of the new baby Hobbit :)
I am trying to write SF but as I haven't read the books in a while or seen the films, I'm not as interested as I am with Merry and Pippin.
Anyways, I own nothing, improvements welcome, tell me if you don't understandanything (and if there's a word for a letter you want, tell me, because I have only a few done so far :p)
Enjoy.
F is for forget
"It doesn't have to be like this. Everything can be alright again, back to how it was before."
"How?"
"Forget."
"Forget? How can I forget? Forget you lying in our bed with someone else, your lips on her, your hands on her, your… your…"
"Shh, come here, Pip. Stop crying…"
"Don't touch me!"
"Pippin, where are you going?"
"Away from you."
"Pippin,"
"Let go of my hand, Merry!"
"Do you love me?"
"Let go of me!"
"Not until you answer. Do you love me?"
"… yes."
"Then why won't you forget? And pretend, and, and…"
"Wish? Because I don't know if you love me!"
"I do! Trust and believe me I do!"
"I can't, Merry. I can't trust you anymore."
"Pip?"
"Goodbye, Merry."

F is for forever
What? Did you think that this could last forever, you and I? We're too young to think about forever.
I wanted you, and you were willing. Love was just a word, like please and thank you and sorry. I said it when I had to. Anyway… forever is in the future. And the future is about lasses and babies, heirs and responsibilities.
Not for us, carrying on like tweens that know no better.
I didn't know you'd take this too seriously, Pippin. I thought you knew it was only temporary. At least, that's what I thought until you came to me one day, crying about Estella and me.
Pippin, I… I thought you knew…

F is for Family
"I can't stand it, Frodo." Frodo sighed, stirred the tea one more time before handing it to his cousin.
"Oh shush, Merry."
"Shush yourself."
"I'll take the tea back if you're going to be like that."
"Sorry."
"I know you're stressed. It's understandable, but you can't go in there. Moaning about it won't help."
"I know but…"
"This is dangerous enough for Pippin, anyway. The last thing he needs is you going in there and interfering with the healers, who are trained and know what they're doing."
"But this is different,"
"It's not that different, Merry. It's happened before. Like I said, you going in there will not help. Drink your tea."

"Oh, she's lovely…" Merry smiled at Sam as he sat on the bed next to Pippin. Pippin who held their new baby daughter in his arms.
"What are you going to call her?" Frodo asked.
"Holly, we decided on, didn't we Pip?" Pippin nodded and smiled.
"Holly." He whispered and dropped kiss onto the baby's forehead.
