May 13
13, despite its association with bad luck, becoming Bilbos' favourite number. It calms him down.
Because after every horrible and dangerous situation the company got into during the quest, Bilbo would take a quiet head count, and if he got up to 13, it meant everything was okay.
Everyone he cared about was safe.
