Lovely fic! I love it a lot- very heart-warming and so sweet. Loved that last part with Frodo and Gandalf reminiscing of Bilbo and also knowing about Sam's good news.

Thank you! The Fourth Age for our hobbits will always be for me a very happy and healed time for them. I like the idea of Gandalf being a sort of "go between" for information, and always there for Frodo no matter what.

Hmm...interesting. Nice to think of Bilbo having a namesake, whatever the reason... :-)

This was a strange little tale, but fun to imagine.

I'm glad that Frodo was able to keep up with his heartbrother's family and know that he was an uncle again. :) Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

It's such a joy to write about Tol Eressea in the ways I imagine would give the hobbits (and their friends) a happy, loving life.

A lovely way to wake up on a frigid Friday morning, Shirebound. So, old Bilbo's been reborn? Or at least that seems to be what is implied here, or maybe the old codger just nipped over for a brief visit on his way to the Timeless Halls to see the new baby? Whatever the case, I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes. Happy New Year!

Thank you. As to Bilbo... I like leaving that up to the imaginations of the readers. :) I know a lot of you are waking up to frigid temps this week! Happy New Year, and I wish you a wonderful (and creative) 2014.

Wow! I think Gandalf summed it up perfectly well: “How extraordinary. Leave it to hobbits to still surprise me at a pinch.” So, Pippin was right after all. What a lovely idea :-) And the song at the end (from The Hobbit, I think) fit in just perfectly.

I'm so glad you liked this, Andrea. Thank goodness for the endless prompts and plot bunnies that keep us inspired.

Such a sweet, nostalgic story....and Gandalf being aware of the newest Gamgee and being able to share the news with Frodo....just perfect! Made me happy to read. Thank you for sharing!

Oh, I hadn't thought of it like that! What a nice comment.

I'm sniffling back a few tears of my own after reading this. Love your approach here! There's so much untold story for the post-war hobbits who stayed in the Shire, and this was tremendously touching. Sam and Rosie and their brood are the sweetest. I'm so glad that one way or another, there's a Bilbo in Bag End. It just wouldn't be right otherwise. And Frodo knew his dear friend's good fortune despite their long separation – it doesn't get much better than that. Beautiful story, shirebound! Perfect for a cold and rainy day. Take care, lots of warm wishes to you and yours! -Kevana

What a lovely review, thank you! I'm so pleased this story moved you. Our beloved hobbits *all* deserve a happily-ever-after, whether in this life or... whatever comes after.
