N-43 Four-Word Drabble card

B2MeM Challenge:  N-43 Four Word Drabble Card using the words: smith, consonance, cradle, mantle
Format:  a drabble
Title: The Cradle
Genre: General
Rating: G
Warnings: None 
Characters: Sam Gamgee and Frodo Baggins
Pairings: mention of Sam and Rose
Summary:  Frodo makes a suggestion but Sam refuses to consider it.

“A Smith?” Sam had looked shocked when Frodo suggested that. Now, as Sam proudly displayed his work, Frodo understood. When asked why he hadn’t built a traditional wooden cradle, Sam explained.  “This’ll stay sturdy, no matter how many little ones Rosie and me have.  We want a large family.”  Sam was the perfect hobbit to don the mantle of fatherhood.  The cradle was carefully built by Sam himself.  It spoke to his desire to bestow love and protection upon his children.  There had always been a consonance to Sam’s capacity for love.  The little Gamgees would be very lucky children!

A great drabble from 4 tricky words. Clever Sam! I'm just trying to think what to write.

Thank you. Those were indeed very tricky words. For a while I didn't think I'd manage it. Good luck on your drabble.
