Daisy left Lily in her uncle’s barn in a nice warm stall with fresh bedding and a good meal. Lily had done her job getting to Rivendell and back. She was rewarded for her for her brave service. The pony looked extremely happy to be safe at home. Daisy left the barn and went in search of her family and Gaddy.
She saw mother, father, and siblings entering her uncle’s house, so she hurried to greet them. Her mother grabbed her and almost suffocated her with hugs and kisses. “I’m so happy to see you in one piece and healthy” her mother said. “I hope that the adventurous stuff in all done with, although I’m really proud of you for helping all of the people of the Shire” she continued. Her father agreed with her mother. In the back ground she could see Gaddy approaching them. She had to think fast about what to say. “Mom and Dad, I have something that I need to tell you” Daisy said. “I have someone very special that I would like you to meet and hopefully welcome into our family.” Her parents gave her a odd look as she grabbed Gaddy’s hand and brought him together with her family.
“This is Gadbard Boffin. He and I are going to be married with your permission as soon as possible” she said. “I love him with all of my heart and hope that you too will come to love him like a son” she continued. Her parents’ mouths dropped open for just a minute. Then her father said to Gaddy “I would like to welcome you to our little family.”
The family then went to join the big party that was going on in Bullroarer’s home.
