Warnings:None
Characters: Bilbo and Frodo
Pairings: None
Title: Confirmation
Summary: A little discussion about marriage
“Uncle Bilbo?”
“Yes, Frodo?”
“Why aren’t you married?”
“Well, that is a rather difficult question to answer.”
“You can do it. You know everything.”
“Well, I suppose it must seem that way at times. Still, there are a few things for which I don’t have answers.”
“Is this one of them?”
“Frodo, how old are you now?”
“I’m nearly ten. That was an easy question, Bilbo.”
“Yes, well, I do have a great many relations and sometimes I tend to forgot how old they are. It tends to happen with you since you seem far too grown up for a lad your age. I sometimes think that you must be older.”
“No, I’m just nearly ten is all. Uncle Doc says I’m just very inquisitive and that I remember things well.”
“Saradoc is a wise hobbit. He is a fine judge of character and in your case, I suspect that he correct.”
“So, why aren’t you married?”
“I am what some folks might call a confirmed bachelor, Frodo lad. I am just not cut out for marriage. I enjoy having my life all to myself and doing exactly as I please.”
“I’m a confirmed bachelor too then. I like to do whatever I want. Can you tell that to Uncle Doc for me so he and Aunt Esme will quit making me do stuff?”
“That isn’t the way it works I’m afraid. You have to be slightly older in order to be a confirmed bachelor.”
“When I’m ten? I already know I don’t wanna get married to anyone.”
“How do you know that?”
“Well, Uncle Doc is married and even though I love Aunt Esme, she can be very pushy. She’s always making him do things even though he’s all grown up.”
“I see.”
“If I ever get married then I won’t be able to do what I like and I’ll always have to listen to someone boss me around. I wanna be confirmed just like you.”
“When you are older you may change your mind. Marriage can be a very nice thing. Your Uncle Saradoc and your Aunt Esmeralda are very happy and they love one another very much.”
“I’m happy now.”
“I suppose you are, but you might find one day that you would like to be with someone for the rest of your life. Marriage is a partnership.”
“I don’t know why Uncle Otho wanted to be partners with Aunt Lobelia. She isn’t very nice at all. When you pick partners, you should pick one you like.”
“Perhaps he sees something in your Aunt Lobelia that you and I don’t see.”
“Well, if he does then he should show it to the rest of us so we could like her more. Is that funny to say? You’re laughing.”
“It is very clever of you to say and yes, it is funny.”
“So far, I can’t think of a reason to get married. I’m good just like I am now only I’d like to be taller.”
“You might want a son or a daughter some day. You can’t really plan that properly without getting married.”
“I don’t want a daughter.”
“What about a son?”
“Maybe.”
“Then you will need to reconsider you views on marriage.”
“Bilbo?”
“Yes?”
“If I get married, then how do I get a son?”
“I think that is a conversation for another time.”
“When?”
“Ask me about that when you’ve found the right lass to marry.”
“I like Blossom Chubb well enough. Could Blossom and I get married and have a son?”
“Perhaps. What do you like about her?”
“She can skip stones like a lad and she doesn’t say much and she lets me play with her cats.”
“So you like quiet lasses with good throwing arms who are willing to share their cats.”
“I like Blossom. Do you think she’ll marry me?”
“That is something you will have to ask Blossom. No one else can decide that sort of thing.”
“There’s lots of rules to marriage, aren’t there, Uncle?”
“Yes.”
“I think I’m going to be confirmed. Me and Blossom can just be friends. That will be easier.”
“Good thinking, Frodo lad.”
