Chapter 1
Winter Issues

Elli's POV. I hurried home from a friends house. It was towards the time papa would be home from the forges and I wanted to spend the rest of the evening with him. I skipped fast. The winter had been harsh and the snow was pretty deep.. I smiled as hobbits walked by and gave me smiles,

The beads of my braids Flew around as I skipped. I was nearing our home and getting to the gate when a warg jumped out at me. I screamed in fear.

Fili's POV. I entered my home that I shared with kicked the snow off my boots. I heard Bell's laughter and Linda's voice. I smiled. Even though it's almost five years since the journey, Bell's laughter never got old. I missed my family at times but I wouldn't change the past. I was more happy with Bell then in the Blue Mountains.

I enter the kitchen to find the girls cooking supper. Linda saw me but I gave her the motion not to say anything. I come up behind Bell and wrap my arms around her and kissed her check.

"Your home a bit early." Bell said, turning in my arms and wrapping her arms around me.

"So I can spend time with my family. Is Elli home yet?" I ask.

"She will be home soon. She spent a day with a friend." Bell said.

"Good. We got time." I said.

"For what?" Bell asked.

"This." I said. I pressed my lips to hers and we kiss. A scream interrupts us and we pull apart.

"That was..." Bell said, with eyes wide with fear.

"Elli." I said. We had taught Elli to only scream when she was in danger. I ran for the door, grabbing my swords from the door where they hang everyday except when it's time to sleep and then they were beside the bed.

I ran outside to see a warg snarling and growling at a bush and I heard my daughters whimpers coming from it. I yelled and ran at it. It turned and I slashed it, killing it instantly.

"Elli." I said, quickly kneeling by the bush. Elli came out in my arms. Howls of more wargs came. I held my daughter close.

"Papa." Elli said. I hurried into the house to see Bell grabbing her weapons.

"Elli." Bell said, running over.

"She's fine. She hid under one of your bushes. Wargs are attacking. I need to go out and stop them." I said, handing her our daughter. She shook her head.

"I'm helping also. Don't. Linda is here and can stay with our daughter." Bell said. I sighed but knew there was no arguing with her as I ran out the door.

Bell's POV. I handed Elli over to Linda.

"Don't leave the house till Fili and I get back." I said.

"Mommy. Please don't go." Elli cried.

"I'll be back. I promise." I said. I ran out the door with my weapons in my hand. I heard the fighting coming near the pond. I ran in that direction. I saw that Bilbo was already helping Fili with the wargs. I shot a warg that was about to jump on Fili.

"Bell. Go back home and stay with Elli." Bilbo called

"She's fine. Linda is with her." I said, shooting another warg as it comes at us. Bilbo didn't argue any further as we fought off the wargs. Some ran towards the pond and I ran after them wanting to stop them if their were hobbits near there. I stepped on the ice and heard the ice started to crack under my feet. I had to be careful. I looked around for the wargs.

Pone jumps at me and I fell backwards, shooting my arrow at it. My back hit the ice and I went under. I swam towards the surface, but found ice blocking my way. I was running out of air.

'Fili.' I thought.

Fili's POV. I killed the last of the wargs and turned to see if Bell needed help. I saw a warg laying dead and a in hthe pond.

"Bell!" I yell, running towards the pond. I saw her underneath the ice. I pull my jacket off and jump in. I swam up to her and saw that her lips were turning blue. I had to get her out. I wrap my arms around her and pull her towards the surface. I came out to see Bilbo waiting. "Help me. She's turning blue." Bilbo helped me get her out. I pulled myself out as Bilbo wrapped her in my coat.

"Let's get her to Bag End and get her warmed up." Bilbo said. I picked her up bridal style and held her close to me. I nodded in agreement. We hurried to Bag End. We entered and set up furs near the fire. I get her clothes off and mine but leaving our underclothes on as Bilbo gets a fire going. I put furs over her and join her, pulling her close to me. I kiss her forehead as Bilbo disappeared to make tea.

"Come back to me, love." I said. Color was slowly coming back as she shivered. I closed my eyes and relaXed as she warmed up?

Bell's POV. I felt warmth start to radiate me as I came back. I opened my eyes and was greeted by my husbands chest and a fire roaring in the fireplace that I reconized as my fathers. I let out a soft sigh as I feel arms tighten gently around me.

"Bell? Thank Mahal. I was worried." Fili said, pressing his lips to my forehead.

"Where's Elli? I ask.

"Still at home with Linda. Bilbo is on his way to get her. Here." Fili said, helping me sit up and gave me a cup of tea. I drank it and curled up in Fili's warmth. Fili held me close to him.

"It felt like the old days when we were on the quest." I said.

"It sure did." Fili said as the door opened and our daughter ran to us and Fili caught her and held her close.

"I was worried when you didn't comeback." Elli said.

"Mama had a accident and we had to get her warm." Fili said, pulling me close and we held our daughter as she curled up between us. Fili laid down with Elli curled up on his chest. I lay down beside him and curl up to his side. "Get some sleep, my love. We are safe." Fili said, pressing a kiss to my lips. I return the kiss and lay my head on his shoulder. I let sleep take me and fall asleep.

AN: I finally posted the sequel with drama. Sorry for the wait. Next chapter will be up soon.
