Remember We'll Be History

Eighteen: Wonderings & The Greenwood Pt. 1

The Shire

Bungo knew that his daughter was travelling, but things always happened around the Shire. He also got not exactly the best of company: he was thankful that Primula had come to visit him as well.

"All I am saying Bungo is that Bella is of Age." His mother told him. It was a normal argument that he had d with his mom, she wanted Bella to be more of the Baggins side, which was one of the reasons that Bungo avoided going to visit it had to do with the fact that his parents hadn't been too happy with Bella being an Old Soul.

"Mother, Bella is on a journey at the moment."

"Yes, making her unrespectable." Lobelia said and Bungo braced his fist a bit tighter on the cup.

"Bella wouldn't be, as she is just like Aunt Bell making her just the same, she is after Old Took's favorite Granddaughter." Prim said with a smile and Lobelia gritted her teeth as she knew that it was true.

"Bungo, my dear you know that I wouldn't be bringing this up. Belladonna is of age to be married." Laura said with a raised brow.

"Bella is not marrying by force." Bungo told his mother.

"She is…"

"Sherlock will never allow for her to be married by force." Bungo told her, he didn't want to say anything; but he had just been given new from Sherlock of a new change in his daughter's life and hopefully this would keep his family at bay.

"What?!" Lobelia said. "He has no choice and he cannot do anything."

"You will also be wrong; everyone knows that all that tried to woo Bella ended up in the wrong if Sherlock didn't like them." Prim told them. Laura looked at her son and knew he was hiding something.

"Is there something you need to tell us."

"I will say it again Bella is currently being wooed and if he is worthy, I may have a son-in-law." Bungo said.

"What are you saying?" Lobelia said.

"She is being wooed and the chaperones?" Laura asked.

"Gandalf the wizard is with them." Prim said. "Uncle Bungo is right Sherlock wouldn't allow anything untoward due to Bella."

"All I know is if Bella returns to the Shire, she might not be…"

"Lobelia, watch your tongue." Laura told her, making Lobelia pinched her mouth as she was not happy to hear that.

Blue Mountains

Tris and Dis were both working in getting everything ready, they had wanted to get some news from the quest. The last note they got was from Rivendell, which both were surprise that Thorin had allowed it. They also had some news from Dis's sons that was surprising.

"What do you think of this Hobbit?" Dis asked her mother.

"I think Thorin might have met his match if she is as stubborn and if the stories your sons send us were true, knowing also that Ori collaborated well it is interesting."

"Do you think the Hobbit is the reason that the Thain came to do business with us, I mean it was good but not as of now."

"Well we know some Ereboans went and married some Hobbits of the Took variety." Tris said, as some of those marriages were registered in their books.

"Well some of those Dwarves as coming over, we can speak to them, ask questions."

"You are trying to find information on your future sister-in-law?" Tris said.

"She would be your daughter-in-law" Dis said with a laugh.

Beorn's

Bella was currently helping Oin with Thorin who seemed to be stubborn in getting his bandages.

"Hiss…it hurts." Thorin groaned.

"If you hadn't run over to take down your mortal enemy this wouldn't have happened?" Bella said putting some of her own ointment on Thorin.

'He complains.' Sherlock said.

'I would shut up; you weren't the best patient either.' Bella replied to him. They both didn't notice that Thorin was looking at them, he was starting to hear whispers he couldn't hear him to completely, but he could hear like a buzz.

"Are you almost done with Uncle Thorin?" Kili asked.

"Well if Thorin would stop squirming, I could finish sooner." Bella told him.

"If you didn't put that smelly stuff."

"Its of my own make, not Elves." Bella snapped back teasingly.

"Oh really, I wouldn't be surprise it appears you are better than Elves, Belladonna." Thorin said.

"Would both you stop flirting?" Dwalin said snapping both Bella and Thorin out of it causing them to blush and go back to wrapping Thorin's injuries.

"What's on your mind Kili?" Bella asked after a bit of awkward silence.

"Well I know you and Uncle are courting, but did you court other Hobbits or people?' Kili asked and everyone was paying attention to that one.

"You don't have to answer if you don't want to Bella?" Fili said knowing that the question was a bit intrusive. Everyone know that Ori had been sort of flocked to be courted, when she came of age and Dwarves had been interested coming to her that both Dori and Nori had been incredibly protective taking some Dwarves down brutally in the protection and it hadn't been until Dwalin had shown interest and Ori had returned it. The same was with Princess Dis many had come flocking from different clans trying to win the Princess without a home, but it was a General who took her heart.

"Well there were some, but it didn't end well." Bella told them. "You have to keep in mind that my Father is the Baggins of Bag End and I am his only child."

"Your Father is important?" Thorin asked.

"Yes, like I said he is the Baggins of Bag End, he built that Hobbit hole for my Mother as a wedding gift for her to have a home to return to when she came back from her trips, Grandpapa was not going to let his favorite daughter to leave his home without some grand gesture, though Granma and Letty both say that Grandpapa is overly dramatic and want to make sure Dad's intentions were pure and not just a bit to 'Tame the Wild daughter of the Old Took' in my case I believe it might have been the same thing."

"I remember the Hobbit, who tried ended up in a puddle." Ori said suddenly catching them by surprise.

"Yeah, that was me he made some comments I did not agree with and well it did not go well." Bella told them.

"What kind of comments?" Thorin asked.

"Oh the usual, that is always hurled at me, that I am being selfish that I will end up disgracing my father, its funny because one of people who told me that ended up married to Lobelia and that is on nasty hobbit." Bella said remembering Otho. "Other's believed that just because I am a woman, I will bow down to them and that is not the case, I did not do it in my old life and will not do it on this one either." Bella said and Thorin smiled because the way that Bella was sitting was very regal and it told him many things.

"We should also start the planning for going into the Mirkwood." Balin told them interrupting the talks.

"Beorn has mentioned that we must leave his horses at the edge of the woods before we go in." Bella said. "What we need is a map to go through the forest."

'I can go and search while you sleep tonight.' Sherlock told her. She had to admit that it was a good idea, but she didn't want to send Sherlock alone.

"We are leaving tomorrow, and Gandalf will be there to guide us as well." Thorin said.
