There's a very pretty, full skirted white dress lying on the ground next to her, and she is alternating between staring at it and dabbing at her eyes with a handkerchief.

*and here's a hobbit lass walking past*

Begging your pardon, but is there something wrong?

*forces herself to smile a bit*

I'm just.... rather upset I shall have to give up my favourite dress.

[thesunisastar]

Why do you have to give it up?

[la_baronne]

Because I cannot get it buttoned. *sniffles a bit*

[thesunisastar]

You could give it to someone else. I always give my dresses to Rosie.

[la_baronne]

But... but I can't! It is my favourite, you see, and.... *starts crying all over again*

[thesunisastar]

Maybe you can wear it again . . . after?

[la_baronne]

*sniffles, wiping her eyes* Do you suppose it will fit?

[thesunisastar]

It could.

[la_baronne]

Then... perhaps I oughtn't give it up just yet?

[thesunisastar]

I'd say save it til you know whether it'll fit or not.

[la_baronne]

I do so hope that it will. I shall be just devastated if it does not...

*smiles* You might not think of dresses once the baby is born.
