| It all is lovely. I'm surprised that Paladin and Adelard survive to grow up and have families, their fathers are so upset. Author Reply: Yeah, they could wring the lads' necks right now, but when they actually see them is another story...well, not quite 'another story'--you get the idea. Thanks Pearl! Pippinfan | |

| Yay! Aragorn...well, sort of :P Very clever how you've worked he and Elrond's sons into the story, especially since they will all one day meet Paladin's son and nephew! I do have one complaint - you didn't write the songs! I wanted to read what they were singing, but I can understand why you might not have wanted to write them. I'm sure you remember my terrible attempt at poetry :P Here's another review to brighten your morning - be a darl and leave me another chapter to brighten my evening ;) Author Reply: Ah...so you *know* Thorongil, eh? It's not always simple working Gandalf, Thorongil, *and* Elrond's sons into a story. I had to go to the appendices for the believability measures; where exactly were they, and what were they doing in 1357 (2957)? I remember your *attempt* at poetry, and I thought it was rather good! It's *my* poetry that leaves much to be desired! :-P If I were talented in the poetry department, then I would do it. If the chapter seems kind of naked for not having it...well, you know the deal! lol.... I'll post it and give you full credit! I still have yet to work in the gifts as Grey Wonderer asked...she's getting credit for that, too! Pearl got to hold "her" little brother so anything can happen! The new chapters are almost finished--gotta stop talking so I can polish them up to brighten your evening! Thank you for reading and reviewing! Pippinfan | |

| Hi Pippin Fan, I just discovered this story, and I'm really enjoying it! I love the family dynamics -- cute and mischievous hobbit kids, adults overprotective of both their kids and their elders, tweens using excuses (pepper! that was funny!) to get to know each other better, adults knowing exactly what the tweens are doing... it's all here. And Gandalf, too! Will look forward to the next chapters... Thank you! - Barbara P.S. Instead of 'conveyance', I think you want to use 'convenience', which is a British term for water closet... Author Reply: Hello Elena/Barbara, You are a blessing--and thank you! I have made the change in chapter nine. The next chapters are almost ready and will be posted this afternoon (EST). Thank you for taking the time to read and review. Take care. Pippinfan | |

| Thank you! :) I love remembering those days of holding my dear younger brother on my lap. He was sweet then and is sweet now, just much to big for my lap! I'm glad to see that Man is impressed with us Hobbits! Author Reply: I'm so sorry!! :-( I thought I already answered your review...I feel like the village idiot. I *was* going to get cheeky and say he's not too big for my lap, but now, after my brain f*rt, I'll swallow my foot instead. Mmmmm! Pippinfan | |

| I love this story! It's so interesting to see the characters that are usually the (sometimes) responsible parents in fics as the immature children! I think you've done a good job in making Paladin a little like Pippin, but not quite. And though Addie takes on the "older cousin" role, he's certainly not Merry! You'd better hurry up soon! I'm as anxious as Cousin Merry to find out who is chasing the adventurers :P Author Reply: Thank you, Pervinca--very observant! Yes, I have depicted them as having a "Pippin/Merry" type relationship, but not altogether the same. I have written Paladin a bit more independent. I always look forward to your reviews in the morning--well, the morning here, anyway! Thank you so much for taking the time to review! I'll be checking out more of Just to Be With You! Great story, I might add! :-) Take care. Pippinfan | |

| That was a good lunch. The fire is just warm enough while not too hot, and this wonderful story continues. It is always great fun to hear about one's parents ;) Pearl Took Author Reply: I'm glad you're enjoying the story--and the stew! I made it myself! (yeah, right) Continue to listen to "your" father's story, and eventually, your little brother may end up in your lap--thought I was joking, eh? ;-) It's coming up... THank you so much for reading and reviewing! Pippinfan | |

| Poor Esmeralda and Bilbo! Both are taking the blame on this one. Add to that in Esmeralda's case that she is having to join forces with that Saradoc Brandybuck! LOL Good thing too or no Merry for later stories. You've made me hungry with the stew and so I am off to eat. Post a few more chapters while I'm out why don't you? (hint, hint) Author Reply: Because they are trustworthy--I guess I'm sort of making a statement in that Saradoc wasn't always the "odd" sort in his son's life. Esmeralda wouldn't marry a jerk. He's really a good guy--er, hobbit at heart! Seems we all like chicken stew...or are all just hungry! Thanks for reading and reviewing! :-) PF | |

| Paladin and Adelard have a Pippin/Merry relationship don't they? I like that becuase it helps connect the past to the present. Very well done and the presence of Bilbo is always a welcome thing for me. And Bilbo with Sting! You make me so happy, PF! Author Reply: Yes they do--thank you for noticing! Oh, there's more than Bilbo appearing in this one; wait until next chapter! :-) Thank you so much for your reviews! Yes, I do believe you're correct about us all having similar tastes! PF | |

| Oh, Saradoc and Esmeralda! So cute. I loved Merry's reaction to that. Essie's a little like Pervinca, trying to get in on the lads' schemes! Lol, and by "my Ev", I was refering to Everard Took! After all, his father is a part of this story. Hehehe, sorry for confusing you like that (and, yes, I am too young to have a child :P). More soon, pretty please :) Author Reply: It's the Took in them... Took ladies don't sit on their laurels! ;-) Ah!! I am happy to be corrected on that point! Yes, but Reggie is barely a twinkle in his father's eyes, let only Ev! lol... More is coming... Pippinfan | |

| “Kissing? I thought Momma said the coach brought Merry here?” The poor child had no idea why the other children burst out laughing. LOL Now that's funny! My favorite line in a very interesting chapter. I will be waiting for more. Author Reply: Poor little Pip--only five years old; he's so cute, though. More's coming up...thanks for reviewing! PF | |
