Luariia knelt in front of the bowl once again. This was what felt like the hundred time she'd been in this position within two months. Nori stood in the doorway watching his wife in concern, walking over as she threw up; he rubbed her back and soothingly whispered to her.

When the bout of vomiting was finished she would return to the bed and simply slump over it until she either fell asleep or she would be back up in the washroom again.

Nori was extremely concerned, this had never happened to her before they married. Nori had taken Luariia hard the night they had been joined together as one. She was satisfied that night and when they fell asleep, they could swear that Bilbo and Thorin were going at it like rabbits as well.

Luariia slumped over the bowl again and gasped, "What is wrong with me?"

Nori knelt beside her and lightly he stroked her back as she threw up again while he lightly whispered, "It's alright...just breathe."

She slumped into his arms and he lightly picked her up, bridal style and carried her into their chambers, laying her down on the bed and he lay down beside her. She sighed as the sickness in her abdomen began to die down and Nori lightly whispered, "Do you need something?"

"Possibly..." she sighed and Nori lightly kissed her lips before he left the room. She lay on the bed still wrapped him Nori's cloak as she heard a knock on door.

"Come in..." She answered weakly and Bilbo walked in.

"Luariia? Are you feeling alright?"

"How do I look is the question Bilbo?" She asked lightly and Bilbo chuckled.

"No not really..." She answered lightly and he sat down on the edge of the bed.

Bilbo smiled and said, "I just want to see if I'm correct..."

"Wha-" she was about to say but Bilbo placed a hand on her stomach and lightly he pressed down. Bilbo smiled and he said, "I was right..."

"Bilbo?"

"Congratulations to you both...you're pregnant Luariia..." Bilbo said and he lightly took her hand and squeezed it.

She looked to Bilbo for a moment and suddenly Nori came back in with Thorin behind him, Nori sat down beside Luariia and kissed the side of her forehead as she smiled looking to Bilbo as he moved his hand away.

"Well Bilbo I suppose we should tell him shouldn't we?" Luariia said quietly and Bilbo smiled, but suddenly his face paled and he was dashing from the room quickly.

Thorin followed after him and Luariia looked to Nori and she said, "What I mean to say is that...well..."

"Luariia? Is it something to do with why you keep getting sick?" Nori asked quietly and she nodded her head.

She took one of Nori's hands and placed it on her stomach and as his eyes widened in surprise she whispered, "I'm pregnant..."

She smiled lightly and before she knew it, Nori was on top of her kissing her, his beard rubbing against the exposed skin on her chest, she laughed as he began to kiss down her neck, laughing she pushed him away playfully and Nori let out a hearty laugh and he said, "I am going to be a father? I can't believe it!"

Luariia laughed and said, "Yes, you are going to be a father." She stood up suddenly feeling a burst of energy when Nori stood up in front of her and he bent down for a moment before lifting her off the ground, cupping her rear and smiling before she leaned down and kissed him.

It was at that moment when Thorin and Bilbo decided to walk back in again, and Luariia blushed beautifully before Nori let her down. Bilbo was eased into the soft chair beside the bedside.

"Bilbo?" Thorin lightly asked as Bilbo lightly ran a hand over his stomach before he stiffened in the chair and Bilbo gasped.

Luariia's eyes narrowed and when she saw Bilbo lean back, she noticed the swell to his belly and she felt a small smile grace her lips. She leaned back and lightly tugged on his beard, and whispered in his ear, "Bilbo's pregnant..."

Nori's eyes widened again and she said, "Let's allow Thorin to figure it out himself." He chuckled to himself and Bilbo looked towards Thorin and in a hushed voice he whispered, "I'm...I'm pregnant..."

The Dwarf King's eyes suddenly went unfocused and with a solitary thump, Thorin Oakenshield, King under the Mountain had fainted.
