Oh, what a lovely tale! :) I adored every word of it even as it brought me close to tears as well as the smiles it engendered. I can just see Frodo with the paintbrush and the dust cloth and rejoicing over the wonder of the new little faunt about to join the family. I giggled at the "argument" about whether it is a boy or a girl that he and Sam exchanged, and I was touched by the bit about Rose realizing that there were parts of her husband and her husband's brother-friend which she would never be able to understand or touch because she was outside of that shared experience. Wonderful!

Ah, the second sweet surprise today! :) Brother and sister woke me up this morning with singing and the most delicious pancakes ever made, and now this! I can hardly contain myself! Hobbitlike all round. Frodo and Sam subtly arguing over whether it's going to be a lad or a lass...too cute! And young Frodo having used a crib as a teething tool...my my my, what an enterprising youngster! LOL! Hope it's not really as painful as it sounds...though I know teeth coming in is infinitely worse. Love all the "nesting" involved here, so cozy! Thank you, dear! *hugs* God bless, Galadriel

So glad you enjoyed, ammelda! Hope your day was wonderful and your year will be even better! Well, you've got to relieve the teething pain somehow, don't you? :) *hugs right back* Namarie, God bless, Melinyel, Antane :)

There was contentment and if becoming an uncle was what did it, Sam would fill the Shire with children so his Frodo would always be happy. This is a beautiful story, just brimming with love. Each envisions a different future, but they'll be together again at last. I love how Sam and Frodo are both insisting they know the gender of the coming child! What a fun tease between them.

They were never truly apart and that is the beauty of such love. I liked that sentence too. :) As far as the teasing, it could well be that Frodo really knew while Sam was just wishing and hoping. :) So glad you came by to feast on this! Namarie, God bless, Antane :)
