A very gentle chapter. Thanks.

This was so sweet, Pippinfan. :) I enjoyed it ever so much. Tears threatened to spill towards the end. You write so well. I'm glad Meldewen recommended this. THanks for sharing.

Author Reply: Oops--spoke too soon, didn't I? (You *are* Meldewen's friend!) Welcome, FrodoBaggins_88! The mood lightens a bit as you read on, but there are undercurrents of sadness for the situation they both got themselves into. Thank *you* for reading. :-)

You are still doing a marvelous job of walking this path. You are handling this with great care and sensitivity. Wonderful!

I'm really enjoying this fic. Luckily Pippin and Lilas are starting to like each other. But something will go wrong. Wonder what that is and when it's going to happen..

Author Reply: I'm sorry you feel that way, Mel. I'd say some things to help cheer you up, but I can't.

Awwww - this was such a lovely chapter! I'm so glad that Lilas and the baby are all right. And it was so sweet that Pippin's teaching her to read (weird thing is, I've read a P/D story where Pippin has to teach Diamond to read because she was overlooked as a child).

Again, you've managed to make me care so deeply for your OC. It's very rare that I get like that, but Lilas is so real that she can do that :)

Author Reply: Thank you Pervinca! The only P&D story I've read was...P&D! ;-) Peregrin and Diamond by Pearl Took, that is! Life is running amuk right now, but I do plan to read your sequel to JTBWY. That's cool that you like Lilas, ufortunately though, this will be her only story! So sorry. Thank you for taking the time to read Roses!

Here's a surprise. It's me again. You just never know who might be reading these things. Anyway, seems Pim is the organizer in you Took family. She did an excellent job of keeping everyone calm during this. Liked Pippin teaching his new wife to read, but my favorite part of this chapter is the last sentance.

In the deep of night, as husband and wife quietly reflected on their circumstances, sleep crept in and stole husband and wife away to slumber.

Very sweet and paints a lovely picture.

Author Reply: Ah, but a pleasant surprise it is! That was one of the things I loved about reading Sisters, is that our Took sisters have pretty much the same characteristics, but different sisters hold certain ones. Thank you for the compliment! Take care!
