The two little hobbits understood the wise wizard and knew he was right. Legolas didn't truly mean what he said about their involvement. Initially hesitant to check up on Frodo, they both figured Sam did all he could to convince Frodo and went over to see how he was. "I'm alright...I think." Frodo says, trying to shake off that feeling that got him a bit off the edgy side. "It must of been a headache I receive." Surprisingly, they could see that Frodo was gradually beginning to remember things now. They joined along with Emily, and Merry told their dear cousin, "That's right, Frodo, try and remember."

Frodo listened in on the truth Emily had told him about Grace and about Angel. The hobbit remained quietly still, looking for some thoughts to say something, maybe just a few words. Sam and the others waited patiently maybe hoping that Frodo can remember those memories waiting to unlock itself to bring back the old hobbit they used to know of.
But sadly, what they heard was something they didn't see coming. "That is NOT my child!" Frodo stubbornly commented, not believing any of those words Emily had explained to him about.
It had seem they had been let down in much of their disappointment, but not for Sam. He wouldn't stop. "What?! Of course she is Mr. Frodo." He replied. "No it's not! Why on earth would I created a living thing with someone whom I don't love?!"
"Don't love?!!? Mr. Frodo, you've been madly in love with Princess Angel since the first day you met her!" Sam cried out. "Then why does it feel I do not?!!?" Frodo says back.
"That's your amnesia talking! Just LOOK AT HER!!" Sam pointed to the very proof that was being held right in Emily's arms. The hobbit insisted next he be the one now to be holding Grace for them. When he took her from Emily, he showed Grace over to Frodo by giving him another better look at her as he still continue to try and reason with him. "Can't you see the resemblance?"
But Frodo did not want to come in any contact with the female baby. "What resemblance? It looks NOTHING like me!" "Sure it does!" Sam mentions to him. He look at Grace to point out any details to show Frodo that Grace was really his. "Hair color's the only part not matching, so she must of gotten it from one of your descendants; or Angel's I'm guessing." He added, seeing how the color of Grace's strawberry blonde hair was the only thing that made her stand out more differently from her parents. "Let us see here, umm oh look! She's got your smile!" Sam glance again at Grace to see if there was something she might have in common with her father. "The nose is almost bit of close call there, and uhh....what else is there she has? Oh and there's some features too of her mom like the--"
"I don't see it!!" Frodo says, failing to see any type of family resemblance Grace may of possibly gotten from him or from Angel. "You can go on and on with your listings of what she has and what she doesn't from me or that lady, but I see none of it!"
"But I think maybe if you just try to--" Sam try on helping out more and more with the best that he could with Frodo, but still the hobbit was through with it. He try getting handing her over to Frodo, but Frodo stay back. "NO! DON'T LET HER TOUCH ME!!" Frodo moved away just steps away, not only from Grace, but even including Emily, Sam, Sam's kids and wife. "If I say she's not mine, then she's not! I want no part of it!!" He tells them all and storms outta the room.

Emily glared at Frodo's retreating figure before gently handing Grace over to Merry and stomping off after Frodo out of the room and down the hall.
"Deny it all you want Frodo Baggins, but this is your child! You once said you wanted no part of anything to do with her and immediately regretted it when she almost died!" She yelled at the hobbit grabbing his shoulder making him stop walking and turn to face her. "That child is a beautiful living baby girl who one day will grow into an amazing woman and you are a fool if you do not see that!" She couldn't help but slap the hobbit's face in outraged before continuing "Did you know I've known so many of my people both human, halfling, and animal alike who want offspring but every result in such has ended in failure, one of our companions Aragorn and his beautiful wife Arwen is a perfect example of that! Do you know what they would give to have a beautiful healthy baby girl like you and Angel have? Anything!
Dismiss Angel and Grace all you want but the truth is, you love them and they, despite all your faults, love you. One day you will remember and I hope in your case it won't be too late to miss out on the greatest years of your life, Mr. Baggins!" She then turned her back and left not noticing Aragorn had not only heard but witnessed the conversation between the two of them.

What came next for the hobbit was quite the big of a outraging speech he had ever heard of, let alone coming from someone's fiance he almost nearly flirted with earlier before seeing that she was taken by him. But what he didn't see next was the majorly big slap he gotten from Emily before hearing more on and on about her ranting complaint of Angel and Grace being his loved ones. The hobbit stood there quietly, rubbing his poor sore face. Like Emily, he didn't notice that Aragorn had witness the whole thing, and for that, he didn't care either.
Frodo return back to his chamber guest room and slammed the door behind him and went by to the mirror to stare at his reflection. He try to find any features in him that could get to him to believe he was really Grace's father like his friends had say, but still didn't see nothing. He unwrapped the bandages from his head to get a better look at his head. It look okay to him, though he still felt uncertain that strangely feel he had on the inside of him when he thought about Grace. Why was it to him that he couldn't remember his friends, or even Angel, but after meeting Grace, she was the only one whom he felt like he met her somewhere around before, as if from an old life, but can find no tracing steps of it?
"It's not important what I think about they say to me." He says to himself. However, on the related note, if the hobbit was going to seek any treated help for himself, the best way was to start now. The hobbit sat down on the bed, pondering to himself in thought of what to do. "And yet...and yet I wonder...hmmm..."
A little while after, Sam and the other hobbits thought about giving Mr. Frodo a piece of their own medicine by talking down onto him next like Emily had. Sam brought Grace with them so it was to try again one last time to talk some serious sense into the stubborn memory-loss hobbit. Sam knocked on the door. "Mr. Frodo!!" He called, but the door did not opened and there was no answer coming from inside. "Mr. Frodo, we have to--" but Sam chose to barge in by swinging the door open, but carefully stop it before it can hit anything so it was not to be slamming it too loud.
There he saw Frodo balancing upside down on his head. "Mr. Frodo, what are you doing!?!!?" He asks in disbelief as he came inside entering in the room. But Frodo shush him to be quiet. "Shhh!! I'm focusing!"
"That doesn't explain why you're doing it." Sam says. He set down Grace on top of Frodo's bed, but still can't seem to look away at how silly Frodo was spending his time doing by appearing what look like to him a very probably odd way to look for more believable answers. "You look ridiculous!" Sam added, crossing his arms.
Grace watched from what her father was doing and it seem to her to be like some type of game to her, so she try to copy the same thing. But, being the baby that she was, Grace couldn't get herself up enough to make her head stay down on the soft covers of the bed. Each time she try to do it, she failed by rolling over onto her side, but had been giggling to her mistakes thinking it to be funny.
Frodo try to stay busy on focusing, but seem to get easily distracted by spotting Grace imitating him. The hobbit try hard to stifle up his laugh, but from seeing the way Grace was trying to be doing the same thing he was doing seem so cute, that he couldn't describe how adorable that look. But Frodo failed and broke out into a lighthearted laugh. "STOP COPYING ME! THAT'S NOT FUNNY!" He shouted, quickly changing his tone and reaction very seriously. But with that final yelling, Frodo lost not only his focus, but even more so the balance he had that he fell down, landing hard onto his flat stomach that sudden crashing got Grace falling off the bed, but safety she landed onto Frodo's back.
Grace had a good time enjoying what had been fun to her, and soon came crawling over and sat on top of Frodo's head, looking down on his face. The hobbit gaze up at the child sitting on top of him and smiled warmly at her. To him, she was not bad for a small little young thing.

"Do you deny her now even still Frodo?' It was Aragorn's voice that came from the open doorway where he stood watching the cute scene between Grace and her father. His voice was not accusing or judgmental however and he did not mention that he had of course witnessed the little scene between Emily and Frodo either. Personally if anything he hoped that Emily's cross words with the hobbit was enough to get a little bit through to him from his behavior and perhaps make the hobbit think better at his actions and the way he was now coming across to everyone regardless of whether he remembered them or not.

From the moment Frodo stormed off to head to his room, Merry and Pippin began to wonder if he'd ever be himself again.
Pippin turned to Merry and said with concern, "Merry? I have a feeling he's not going to come back, ever."
Merry disregarded Pippin's sense of pessimism and said, "Oh, Frodo's gonna come back somehow, Pippin. I know him; he wouldn't really reject Angel or Grace like that. Something's just got to click in his head so that he would remember himself and all of us. If only there was a way..."
Upon hearing the sound of Frodo collapsing to the floor, they both hurried over to his room to see him interact with Grace so tenderly and sweetly. This gave Merry some thought as he muttered to himself, "Hmm...maybe Grace is the key to bringing him back..." Then, out loud, he said to Frodo, "See, Frodo? Grace seems to really like you."
Pippin seemed to agree and added, "Yeah, Frodo, keep playing with her. I think you both make a great connection."

Frodo moved Grace away from him when Aragorn came entering in his room. He and the other hobbits had not known that the former ranger king had watch the sweet and cute interaction time the baby had with her father. "Who are you?" Frodo asks Aragorn.
"This is Strider--I mean KING Aragorn!!" Sam quickly corrected himself fast with Aragorn's name. He had been much too used to calling Aragorn by the old formal nickname the first time the hobbits met him at the time from The Prancing Pony when the one ring used to be around.
"Oh, you're the one companion the lady elf told me of after she slapped me, but before storming off!" Frodo had rather pointed out, but still did not seem to care of whom names should mean anything at all for him. "So what do you want?" He asks, trying not to be bitter about it like he was with Legolas before earlier.
He didn't even bother hearing about his cousins trying to convince to keep on playing with his daughter, but the infant seem to rather like that idea being brought up and try some more to get her father's attention. Just when the hobbit already was awaiting to hear Aragorn's response, Grace started fighting for her papa's attention while he was still sitting on the floor. So from there, she threw herself right onto Frodo's foot within a playful little giggle and a smile.
But that surprised playful little sneak attack coming from his child nearly had given Frodo a startling small scared. "GET AWAY FROM ME!!" He yelled at Grace, shoving her off from him and scrambling back off. Another hurting flinch came back with a tiny bit of pounding like sound coming from his head. "Aaah!!" The hobbit bowed down his hands on his head, with his eyes shut and gritting his teeth.
Grace look at her father innocently, as if trying to be very apologetic for ever making him mad, but Frodo had more on the terrifying confusion. "I don't understand....why do I get these headaches every time she draws near to me?"
Even Sam seem to be picking it up the quick signs. "Headaches?" It had been the second time Frodo acted more so strangely on the odd side and all just because Grace had touched him. Sam had recalled a very similar situation Frodo had with Angel at the time she had been cursed and everytime any touching communication came between the two of them, Frodo had been locked underneath her powers a few times. But Grace had no powers, so she could not of been doing the same thing her mother Angel had gone through with Frodo before.

"Yes I am Aragorn and I overheard what Emily said to you. As rash as she may have seemed she did have a right to scream at you though the slap might've been taking it a bit too far." Aragorn replied. "If anything Lord Elrond has taught me is of any use I would say that these headaches are a cause of your memories trying to come back but for some reason failing to do so." Aragorn added when Frodo asked about why his headaches kept returning when around his daughter Grace. "It would seem your daughter is a key to having your memories return somehow."

"That's it!" Pippin exclaimed, figuring how right Aragorn was with what he just said. "That's how we can get you back, Frodo. We just need Grace to keep doing whatever she was doing to you."
Merry encouraged Grace to continue her play with her father. "Go on, Grace. Keep playing with your da-da."

"What? NO!!" Frodo exclaimed. He got up and got onto the bed to safety so it was to keep away from the baby left on the floor who wanted to be getting closer to him. "You are NOT to come near a foot nor yard near me. UNDERSTAND?!!?!" The hobbit yelled at his child.
Just when it seem coming any contact around Grace was badly weird enough for the hobbit, he suddenly stopped when he heard a voice only himself can hear had began speaking out to him. "Ohh Frodo my lad! My dear boy! What kind of talk is that for a father to say to his daughter?"
"Huh!?! Who said that?!?" Frodo asks aloud, trying to hear carefully where that voice had came from.
"Said what? I didn't say a word. Did you?" Sam began, wondering if it could of had been Aragorn, Merry or Pippin but he didn't hear nothing from them that would of been addressed over directly to Frodo.
"Over here! Said the old voice simply teasing the young hobbit. Frodo look at each turn to where he had been hearing the strange voice coming from one direction of the room to the other. At first, he had almost thought he saw the spirit of a ghostly old hobbit, but each time he try getting the first glance of it at every corner, it seem to had been gone within a flash right before his very eyes.
"WHERE ARE YOU?!!?" Frodo shouted, growing tried of this annoyed game the spirit ghost was playing at. "Oh brother! Mr. Frodo's gone and lost it again!!" Sam commented disappointingly by shaking his head.
"You didn't hear it?" Frodo asks them, seeing how they did not hear any voice calling out for him. "Hear what? You're going bonkers again!" Sam told him.
"I am NOT! It's just..." Frodo stopped, waiting to hear if the ghost's voice would speak out for him again, but there was nothing but fallen silence. "I thought I heard someone. It was a voice!"

"You're hearing voices?" Aragorn asked the hobbit making a face as if he believed the hobbit to have gone a bit crazy which at the moment was exactly what it sounded like due to the rest of them unable to not only see but not hear Bilbo trying to talk some sense into his nephew.

Both Merry and Pippin looked at each other in confusion and shrugged their shoulders, since they couldn't see or hear anything that only Frodo could. Even Merry made the "cuckoo" motion with his finger against the side of his head as Pippin nodded in agreement.
"He's certainly off his rocker now," Pippin commented through whispers.

"Mr. Frodo, I think now's a good time for you to rest it off!" Sam says by excusing himself out but not without taking Grace away from the room. He picked up the little female baby and left, along with Merry, Pippin and Aragorn to followed from behind. "Huh...I wonder if Strider and the others are right about you Grace." He says to the baby child, looking at her. "We'll check on your dada later tonight okay?" He whispers, keeping it a little secret just between him and Grace.
"I'm not crazy!" Frodo pouted, sitting down right on his bed to an instant flop and cross his arms. "I know what I heard!!"
"Did you now?" Spoken the old voice, finally revealing himself. The young hobbit quickly jumped right outta his bed, staring in utter surprised. "Maybe I did gone crazy!" He thought to himself. Things had been strangely gone weird for Frodo all day long since his friends try to help him remember them all, but failed at every turning corner.
"After all this time, is this the way to greet your dearly old uncle?" Says the old hobbit ghost. "You're Bilbo!?!!?" Says Frodo taken by surprised the elderly old spirit revealing who he was now after finally showing up. "Mmm-hmmm!" The spirit of Bilbo's old ghost nodded.
"I...I have no words to say. This is--it's...." Frodo had gone speechless, able of what to say about it. "Frodo, I have been watching you from the heavens up above and now this is my time to help you show who you are! I can help you unlocked the headaches you claim to have!" Bilbo said, insisting on giving his offer to help out his poorly confused nephew. "Come with me and I'll show you!" He added, handing out his hand over to him.
Nervously if he should trust the uncle he said to be, Frodo was not left with any other choice. He did want answers and if putting down his trust for a deceased old relative was the only way to go, then so be it. He took his uncle's hand, and before he knew it, Frodo suddenly found himself whisked away into a beautiful homeland of young and old hobbits around. "Where are we?" He asks his uncle.
"This is the Shire. This is where you were born and raised Frodo." Bilbo answered. Frodo was unsure how he was so fast brought into The Shire by his dead spirit ghost of an uncle. It had to be a dream, but it sure didn't feel like it. The hobbit was much awe of the very location in all of Middle Earth that was so gorgeous, just like Sam had describe.
But it was all much interrupted when Frodo overheard the sound of a female hobbit's loud painful urges of screaming coming from one home not too far from them. "What was that?!?!" He asks worriedly.
Bilbo led Frodo down the way, leading to their old hobbit hole they used to live in. "Ah, I remember this! This was the day you were born!" Bilbo recalled of that old time he would never ever forget. The two hobbits peeked through the window where a male hobbit was outside of his bedroom, waiting upon the birth of his child while his wife was inside going into labor. "You see that fellow? Right there? Pacing back and fourth?" Bilbo pointed his finger out to him. "That's your father Drogo."
A surprised puzzling look came to the hobbit's face. "He looks somewhat like me." Frodo said, seeing the close resemblance he shared with him. "But where's--" Frodo stared to ask another question next, but got cut off when he saw Bilbo, the real live Bilbo bursting out of the room congratulating the new first-time father. "Congratulations! It's a boy!!" He announced happily, running up to the newly parent to give him a big hug.
Frodo continued to watch til the old ghost Bilbo called him to follow after him. He was led over to another window where he can get a good clear inside of his parents bedroom. From there, he watch his dad eagerly enter inside to meet his newborn son. "Is she--" Frodo asks, but didn't complete the question.
Old Bilbo ghost nodded. "Yes, she is your mother Primula." "Primula?" Frodo thought, trying to figure out where the name had came from. He knew he must of gotten the name somewhere before other than his own mother, but can't find it anywhere from his old memories that were still locked inside of his mind. "Primula..." He mumbled, but had gone back to watching the sweet beloved scene between the baggins family. He look on, watching his father picking up the baby child from his mother's cradling arms. "He's perfect!" Drogo said to his wife with a smiled.
"He is!" Primula agreed. "What should we name him?" She asks her husband, including Bilbo who had just came inside of the room and overheard their question. "Frodo! I think he should be given the name Frodo." Bilbo spoken up.
Drogo had rather liked the sound of the name. It had seem most suited and perfect for their child. "Frodo...I like it." "Frodo it is then." Primula added.
"So it was you who gave me the name." Frodo said, glancing over next to his ghostly uncle. "I did and it stick!" The spirited old hobbit said, returning back to his nephew's glance with a soften smile. "They seem so happy." Frodo commented as he return back looking at the happy family. It was touching and sweet, though when his memories had been wiped out, only Bilbo's name came up from before by Gandalf, but neither none of had ever spoken to them about his dad Drogo or his mom Primula.
"When the Gandalf wizard said you died from old age and heart attack, he failed to ever mention about my parents." Frodo said, and frown over at that ever coming thought of it. "Where are they?"
Bilbo didn't answer right away or even look back at the glance waiting upon for his replyment. As soon as he was aked about the fate of Primula and Drogo, it was time the amnesia young hobbit had found out about the truth. The old ghost gently took Frodo by the hand and let him down onto another quick flash location. "This is the Brandywine River." He said, introducing his nephew at the scene of the crime where a group of hobbits, including even the well alive Bilbo from that day, were fetching out two dead hobbit bodies that have drowned from that very water and gave a moment of silence for their grieving.
"It was from the day your parents, Frodo, had drowned." Bilbo revealed sadly. He still hadn't forgotten that unforgettable tragic day when it had happened. A small sorrow hurt was shown on the sadden hobbit's face. "My parents....are dead?!!?"
"Yes, but after they died, I took you in. So you see Frodo; though there is a large age gap between both of us, you and I were much close. We share the same birthday. And as I recall from my 111th birthday, I left behind my old ring for you to care of." Bilbo added, thought there was a small bit of sadness from his tone when he had brought up the very thing he never wanted to give up on the most; his very own precious he called it just like Gollum had when he first met him and it was how he had gotten the one ring.
"The ring?" Frodo asked. None of those reminding memories from his past was ever coming back to him, but as he repeated the ring and his mother's name in his mind, he try to look in further more about those detailing info.
"Do you remember now Frodo?" Bilbo asked. Frodo closed his eyes in search of those tracing steps. "Try to remember...." It was the final last thing Frodo heard his uncle speak of as he try to focus. "I'm...remembering something."
The hobbit felt clam from the inside, but soon as everything went quiet, he quickly open his eyes fast to find himself lost. Bilbo's ghostly spirit was gone, and now he felt surrounded in a world that was cold damp and dark. Everything was a blurred. Frodo try to called out for his uncle's name, but even himself can't even hear the sound of his voice shouting out for his help. A sudden feeling crisp burnt like feel was from behind him; a red glow of a sort. Frodo turned around quietly, only to find in the fear of that shock was the eye of Sauron.
Frodo ran off for his dearly life, trying to escaped. But each way he came to, there was no exit to find. He had been trapped. "YOU CAN'T ESCAPED!!!" Sauron's deeply scary voice called out, drawing in closer and closer to him. I SEE YOOOOOUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Frodo's exclaiming voice screamed out so loud, that he found himself awoken and back in the same bedroom where he had last been seen. And it was nightfall. "Ohh...it was just a dream." He said to himself. Frodo lay himself back into bed to rest, but was already frighten to go back to sleep til the sleepyness now had gotten to him and he dozed off.
A small creaking squeak like sound from the door as it open to it's reaching peek and small little baby Grace came entering her father's room. The young little infant child crawled inside from his room and climbed up to the foot of the bed. Clearly her father had been highly exhausted the tiredness he had to face, so Grace cuddle right next to Frodo in his arms. The hobbit woke up nearly half asleep to find that his child came in wanting to snuggle up with him for tonight. He wouldn't even dare to bring himself to allowed it, but he let it be okay only for that one night and went back to falling asleep again.

OOC: Awesome though it kinda reminds me of a Christmas Carol XD
BIC: Later on in the morning the group were eating breakfast in the dining hall together with the exception of Emily. She still felt awkward being around Legolas given the argument between them the night before and was now second guessing Legolas' feelings for her wondering if she was just a replacement for Tauriel, Legolas' first love.
Instead she took it upon herself to check on Frodo but she wasn't going to apologize for her behavior to him the night before feeling herself justified. "Frodo?" She asked knocking on the door to his room before opening it finding Frodo cuddling in bed with his daughter Grace. Was it possible Frodo remembered his child now and no longer pushed her away she wondered.

OOC: LOL Frodo is the next Scrooge and thanks! BIC: The hobbit was out like a light after the strange dream he had last night about his dead uncle Bilbo. It felt realistic, but after falling back into slumber, Frodo was able to sleep okay now and much better from it. He came to a stirred waking up when Emily showed up and see that she found him from the cuddling nice snuggle of him and his baby daughter. "How did she get in here?" He asks, taken a bit by surprised that Grace had just show up still sound asleep, but the hobbit moved away from her. Frodo had to of been very tired from not ever recalling to allow permission for the child to come spend the night in his guest room chambers. "Was it you who sneak her in my room?" Frodo asks Emily, whom seem to be the only first one to be able to catch this and thought maybe it was the she-elf's idea to getting into his bedroom when he fully wouldn't ever let it happened.
