I see Sam as someone who gives, not takes. And I like to think of their marriage as a marriage of loving equals.

A good thing that the number thirteen wasn't in her mind just at this moment. You're barely halfway, Rosie-love! Don't lose heart just yet! It's no wonder Sam survived her. I'll bet she was a really happy hobbit when she hit the age-of-needing-evening-primrose-oil.

It sure is a good thing she didn't know there were six more children to come!

ohhh poor Rosie! I must say, I can relate to the mixed emotions... wanting to give but not wanting (for whatever reason) to give is a VERY difficult place to be in. My hubby's been a saint for me, and Eru knows Sam and Rosie are good for each other, and so she will give. Lovely story Nina. :)

Ooh, rather a sad giving, I fear. Nicely written.

Wonderful, Nina! I'm so glad to see this up! I honestly think it is the best thing you have done yet! It's a sad fact of life that however much a couple love one another, there are going to be occasions when one is not in the mood, for whatever reason, and yet out of love, will go along with it anyway. It's very brave of you to explore that, as it's not something a lot of people want to admit.

Thanks, Barbara! I'm glad I went ahead an typed it up :P It's been sitting in my notebook for several months now, and was actually suppose to be longer but I decided not to include what comes next...lol. It is a sad fact of life. I guess in a loving relationship you do have to make sacrifices sometimes. Wives are to serve their husbands (not as a servant though!), so I thought this was a good way of showing the sacrifice that is made. Sam and Rose having so many children, she must love him VERY MUCH to do that :P
