That was so very sweet of Pippin! He's such a dear isn't he. Did I miss you posting the chapter before this one - discussing the naming of the baby - or did you post them together? Would not surprise me if it was the former. I'm completely hopeless!

Author Reply: Nonsense!! You are never hopeless in the least! It's easy to miss a chapter, even with alerts placed on them. I'm sometimes in the middle of a certain task when I get my alerts, then close them with the intent of getting back to the story. I usually do, but it may take a couple days! Thank you, Pervinca, for persevering! There is light at the end of the tunnel! ;-)

*sobs* Oh, it's so beautiful!!!!! *pulls out her embroidered hanky*

*sniff* Heh...sorry. That time of month and I'm amazingly emotional. I just went to see Spiderman 2 and I BAWLED!!! But it is so lovely!

*ponders* Is it really true that pregnant women can get really...YOU know? Goodness me if it is! I never thought about that. I didn't know you could even...well...YOU know...when you were pregnant. *blushes* Goodness, I feel as awkward as Lilas right now. *blushes brighter* Even more to learn before I get married, I suppose. And after. *grins* I think I'll focus on growing up first, though. Oh, GOODness! *blushes again*

Author Reply: Thanks, Rosie! Don't feel awkward about those questions...that's what helped Lilas get into her predicament. Her mother felt awkward about talking about it. Though I can PM you in response. Take care.

Oh I loved that last chapter - I have tears in my eyes as it appears Pippin has finally fallen in love with his wife!

Please UPDATE soon!

Author Reply: Just remember, appearances can be deceiving...not that Pippin *doesn't" love her, just not *in* love with her. A person can be oh so romantic, and yet not be in love with the object of his/her affections. There is a difference, and trust me, it happens. Take care, and hope you stay around for more, because the baby will be appearing shortly...

How sweet. That was such a beautiful act. It is wonderful that Pippin has come to accept his situation and is determined to make it the best it can be, for both of them. He is growing up so much. So is Lilas for that matter.

Looking forward to what comes next.

Connie.

Author Reply: Thank you, Connie--and I'm glad you picked up on all of that. Marriages and babies do have a way of making *some* folks grow up. Things are going to pick up here in a bit... Thanks for reading!

I may have just said "Awwwww" out loud. Good thing I'm alone or I might have severely embarrassed myself. My grinning like an idiot probably wouldn't have helped.

Needless to say, this is a most remarkably sweet chapter. Of course, Pippin had to outdo Sam's proposal. I can certainly see why Lilas loves him.

Author Reply: I can relate there...my dog gives me strange looks when I laugh at funny tales or coo sweet "awwws"! Thank you, Beruthiel! The Big One is coming up... Take care.

Cake again? And strawberries! You always make me hungry PF! I loved this chapter. Merry was right and Pip did a wonderful job of it. The marble game was cute too. That little stinker, eating that marble! Very like a three-year-old. Great chapter, so where is the rest of the story?????

Author Reply: Easy there, lass! Seems we're both hobbits at heart--we LOVE food! Just be lucky I didn't wave another bowl of chicken stew under your nose! :-) The Rest of the Story...is coming up! Take care, GW!

p.s. Yes, were are both a bit odd in that regard--I can't be serious for too long, either! :-)
