Fantastic. I'm just in awe of the subtle details woven into your chapters. I love how Estella described the little kicks of the baby as "chasing dreams", and oh, that cradle! And the gifts! And the love between these people! Incredible story.

That was so lovely! You have the most remarkable way of describing Diamond's emotions...*I* felt pregnant! Oy! and at my age! The gift from the king and queen were a delight to open up, too! It's great watching Estella with Theo, too. Fantastic chapter, Pearl!

*tears*

This is simply lovely. I can just imagine the littlist Took looking sweet and beautiful beneath the coverlet graced with the tree of Gondor. The whole chapter was wonderful. I look forward to reading it several times.

Bless you.

All I can say is...awwww...this story is just so different...so mature. I am honestly enjoying very much especially Pippin and Theo's relationship. Please keep going :)

*squeals* That was fantastic! I'm so glad we got to see another conversation between Pippin and Theo! You've had children of your own, yes? It definitely shows, because you write the perfect baby. I was reminded of my little cousin Freddie. :)

Aww, Pippin's getting Impending Fatherhood Nerves... I can just imagine him being worried that his boy would be another "Fool of a Took."

"'That’s it,' he said quietly this time into Theo’s little ear. 'A name as noble as yours, my dear cousin. You are named for a good, kindly king. A king who fell under darkness but was saved, then led his people to fight the great evil. A king who took the time to be kind to a lonely hobbit of the Shire. I pledged my life to Gondor to honor Boromir. I shall name my son to honor his brother.'"

Yes! I was really looking forward to reading about Pippin's choice for a name in this, and you did not disappoint at all. He provided us with a perfect explanation, didn't he?

Hee hee, poor Diamond... I've heard about expecting mothers getting a little - ahem - *demanding* of their husbands. Must've been an awkward visit to the healer to ask about that!

And it was so cute when Estella said that Diamond was taking on Pippin's trait of "not being able to sit still" when something's troubling her - and then we saw Pippin doing the same thing later on!

Lovely chapter, Pearl! :)

(By the way, thank you for reviewing "A Light in Dark Places," it was great to hear from you!)

My favorite chapter so far!

"Drat!" Pippin hugged the baby boy to his chest, firmly placing a kiss upon Theo’s soft brown curls. "You are turning into your Da. You see through me. I shan’t be getting anything past either of you, shall I?"

Pippin and Theo have the most fascinating relationship! I just can't get enough of it.

Another very sweet chapter. I love the way you alluded to the business Diamond and our little brother were up to, but did not blantantly speak of it. Also glad to see Pippin's still talking to Theodoc, AND that everyone approves of the choice of name!

Lovely! I'm enjoying this "expecting" just as much as Diamond, and Pippin concerned about the child being "different". I like how you're weaving the Faerie blood into this story line as well! Take care.

Another wonderful chapter of my current favorite story! It is so sweet the way Pippin worries and Diamond too. Estella is just wonderful with her calm ways. You write them all so beautifully. Well worth the wait. Thank you!

Aww! lol That was a cute chapter :P. I love little Merry and Pippin scenes; they always succeed in making me smile. This is a lovely story and I hope you continue it!
