Hey. Here is another update for Strictly Bilbo. Again I'd like to thank everyone who review last chapter. And I'd also like to thank blueskydog for this idea. I hope everyone enjoys. This chapter will have a young Frodo in it as well. So here is chapter next of Strictly Bilbo.

Bilbo jerked awake at the sound of the screams coming from his young nephew's room. Panic took over the older hobbit. Was someone attacking? Was Frodo hurt?

A flash of lightning lit the sky outside his room. Shortly followed by the rumble of thunder and the pound of rain on the roof of his hobbit hole. A storm?

"Frodo's afraid of storms," he said to himself with a small smile. "Just like I used to be as a lad."

He got up out of his nice warm bed and pulled on his robe. Slipping his feet into his slippers he hurried down to Frodo's room.

"Unca," cried the tiny hobbit-lad on the bed. The tear-stained face looked up at him blinking repeated.

Frodo didn't want to let his uncle know he was afraid. His uncle was the bravest of hobbits. He went on adventures with dwarves. He slew dragons. He'd probably laugh at the fact that Frodo was crying his eyes out afraid of a storm.

Bilbo walked over to the bed gently taking a seat next to Frodo. He put an arm around his young nephew's shoulder.

"What seems to be the matter Frodo my lad?" he asked the boy.

"Nothing," said Frodo sniffling gently.

"Are you sure you're not afraid of this storm?"

Frodo looked up in shock. How had uncle Bilbo known he was afraid of the storm. He had said nothing was the matter.

"From the shocked look on your face I'd say I hit the target," said Bilbo.

Frodo nodded.

"I'll tell you a story about another little hobbit who used to live in this house. He had the same fear that you do." He looked at Frodo. "Do want to hear the story of how he got over his fear?"

Frodo nodded. Maybe his uncle could help him get over his fear too. Like the other young hobbit got over his story.

"Once upon a time..." began Bilbo

Flashback

Young Bilbo jumped in fear as the rumble of thunder bounced off the very corners of his room. He looked over towards his small window to see a flash of lightning. It had been clear skies when mama had tucked him into bed. When had it started to rain like this.

Another rumble of thunder tore through his room.

Bilbo began to shake. He really didn't like the sounds coming from outside. Or that horrible bright light that preceded it.

Another flash of lightning and rumble of fire brought tears to poor Bilbo's eyes. And yet another had him crashing out of his bed and running down the hall to his parents room.

"Mama!" screamed Bilbo as he ran over to her side of the bed.

"What?" cried Bilbo's father in alarm as he sat up in bed.

Belladonna sat up in bed to find her young son standing by her side. He looked like he had cried and was afraid of something or other.

"Go back to bed dear," she told her husband. "I'll take care of Bilbo."

She got out of bed pulling on her robe and slipping her feet into her slippers. She went over and bent down to Bilbo's level.

"What seems to be the problem Bilbo?" she asked.

"The loud noise woke me," said Bilbo in a wavery voice.

"Oh your afraid of the storm," Belladonna said winking at her son. "Come on. I'll show you a way to banish the fear."

She picked her five-year old son up and carried him back down to his room. She placed Bilbo back into his bed and tuck him in gently. She sat down next to Bilbo on his comforter.

"Now I'm sure you want to know my secret for banishing fear," Belladonna said. "Don't you Bilbo?"

A flash of lightning had Bilbo burying his face in his mother's side. He looked up and nodded fresh tears rolling down his cheeks.

"Alright," his mother said. She looked around like it was a big secret. "You have to think thunder and lightning are outside and can not hurt me."

"That's all," whispered Bilbo.

"That's all. Go ahead and try it."

"Alright. But I don't think it will work."

"If it doesn't work then I will let you sleep in the big bed with daddy and I. Now let's both go back to sleep so you can try what I said."

"Alright. Good night mommy."

"Good night my Bilbo."

Belladonna kissed her son's head and walked back to her bedroom to find her husband still awake waiting for her.

"Is Bilbo alright?" he asked.

"He's just afraid of the storm is all," said Belladonna.

Bilbo lay in his bed a while after his mother left still quaking in fear. He really didn't think this would work but he promised his mother he'd try.

He looked out the window as another flash of lightning and rumble of thunder went off.

"You are outside Mr. Lightning and Mrs. Thunder and cannot hurt me," said Bilbo quietly. Another flash of lightning and rumble of thunder had repeating it more louder. Until he no longer felt afraid any more.

"So you see Frodo my boy," said Bilbo, "all you have to do is just tell the lightning and thunder that they are outside and cannot hurt you. Just like I did when I was your age. It will work."

He stood up and gently tucked Frodo in just like his own mother tucked him in.

"If it doesn't work," said Bilbo, "you know where to find me."

Frodo nodded.

"Good night, Frodo-lad," said Bilbo

"Good night Unca," said Frodo.
