Happy Birthday, shirebound!

[dreamflower]

I hope that you have an absolutely lovely birthday, full of fun and hobbits. Speaking of hobbits, here's a teensy ficlet for your birthday. You will note, I am giving it to you before noon, as is only proper! *grin*



“Sam!” Rose called softly.

Sam came from the kitchen where he had been putting away their purchases from the market. He and Rose had taken advantage of Mr. Frodo’s offer to watch baby Elanor for a while, to go down and pick up a few needed items.

“What is it?” he asked.

She put her finger to her lips, and gestured towards the sitting room; Sam glanced in and smiled.

Mr. Frodo was reclined in the big armchair, his feet upon the footstool, with little Elanor snuggled in his arms. His face was relaxed in peaceful sleep, as was hers, her little thumb in her mouth; and his dark curls mingled with the golden curls of the baby on his shoulder.

Rose walked over and took a coverlet from the back of the settee, and turned to tuck it carefully over both the sleepers, giving each a gentle kiss on the forehead before turning to meet Sam’s shining eyes.

Thanks! Frodo, a wee hobbit, and a blankie. Just what Shirebound likes!

Awwww. Let's hope Baby doesn't wake up for a while.

[dreamflower]

Shhhhh...I'm sure that Sam and Rose will allow them to sleep just as long as their tummies allow...*grin*

Oh, how tender this is. I love the image of Frodo sleeping with Elanor on his shoulder.

[dreamflower]

Can't you just imagine that it was something he did from time to time after she was born? I think she would just give him such a sense of calm...

[ramblin_rosie]

*happy sigh* Just exactly right for Shirebound! :)

[dreamflower]

*grin* Thanks! That's exactly what I hoped for!

That's a lovely image and sweet thought. I like that you had Rose call Sam to come see - just as I would have imagined it.

[dreamflower]

Yes, isn't it a shame they did not have cameras in the Shire? It would have been just the moment to capture.

What a lovely image... so sweet and comforting.
Thank you for sharing, my dear!

[dreamflower]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

oh what a lovely scene! i especially love the part where Rosie turns to meet "Sam's shining eyes". :)

[dreamflower]

Yes, it's just the sort of scene that needs to be shared, isn't it?

[periantari.livejournal.com]

Very sweet scene! :nods: =)

[lbilover.livejournal.com]

Oh gosh, this is just so sweet. What a beautiful, beautiful image of Frodo holding Elanor as they both sleep. *melts* I bet it really happened, too. :))

[dreamflower]

I'll bet it did! I'm sure that holding that sweet innocent baby helped Frodo to feel loved and relaxed.

[grey-wonderer.livejournal.com]

Awwww, so sweet and so very relaxing. Blankets and hobbits; it doesn't get any better.

[dreamflower]

Nope, it doesn't does it? Wasn't it thoughtful of Shirebound to have a birthday?

[gamgeefest.livejournal.com]

Awwwwww! WAFF!
