Kili brushed her hair out of her face as he sat down on the end next to her. He bent down and pressed his lips to her forehead. He rubbed her shoulders and spoke soft words to her. He did everything he possibly could to calm her down.
"You are very close. How are you feeling?" She turned her head, resting her head against his chest. She was terrified.
"I'm scared. I don't think I can do this." She spoke her fears against his chest, as if it would make them dissipate.
"You can do this amrâlimê. I know you can. We're going to have a baby." She closed her eyes and focused on the sound of his heart beating in his chest. The handsome warrior prince, the dwarf prince and father of their child, was the only thing keeping her sane and calm.
"We're going to have a baby and you're going to be an amazing mother." She felt a kiss to her forehead. Kili was there with her. Kili was here.
"Kili, your mother and uncle would like to come in." She grit her teeth and clamped her eyes shut. She was having contractions. She was closer as the minutes ticked by.
"Let them in." She barely managed to utter the words when a sharp pain shot up her back. She threw her head against the pillow and groaned.
"How is she?" Dis, Kili's mother stood on the other side of the bed.
"She's ready. It's time. It's time to push. You're about to have a baby." She bit her lip, hard. She was not ready for this. Not at all.
"You can do this, sweetheart." She felt another contraction hit her. She gripped the sheets with her hands and let out a loud groan that quickly turned into a scream. She pushed with all her strength, despite feeling like she was getting ripped in half.
"It's okay...you can do this. We are all here for you." Another scream left her lips. She pushed again and took a break.
"Talk to her Kili." She felt pain. All she felt was pain.
"You're doing amazing my love. We'll meet our baby soon. Our baby will have your eyes and your smile. Our baby will my mischevious streak." She listened to the sounds of Kili speaking softly in her ear, as she pushed and screamed.
She could do this. She could do this.
"Almost there, just one more big push!" She pushed her hips down into the bed and gave one final push, her body hitting its limit.
"Do you hear that? My love! Our baby! Listen to our baby cry." Weak. She felt weak. She was so tired, so weak.
"A boy! A healthy baby boy!" She let go of the sheets and angled her head. She wanted to see their son.
"He's beautiful, my love." She reached out her arms and waited for their son. Once their son was in her arms, she pulled him to her chest. She looked down at his pudgy, bloody little face and felt her heart melt.
"Hello my love. I've been waiting for you. I'm so glad to finally meet you." She pressed her lips to his face, despite him still being bloody and unclean.
"Our son..." She looked at him with such pride and love. She had a son with the man she loved.
"Kili...he's got your nose." She looked up at Kili, his arm draped around her shoulders and his lips found her temple. He was more proud of her and their son, than anything else in his life.
"Can I hold him?" Her eyes went to Dis and Thorin, and now Fili. They were all standing beside her bed, their eyes misty. She placed another kiss to his forehead and held her son out, in her arms.
"We haven't chosen any names. We have talk about boys and girl names, but haven't chosen a boys name yet." She looked over at Kili and gave him a soft smile as his mother grabbed their son.
Dis held their son in her arms, cradling the small bundle to her chest. Her eyes were glued to the tiny, squirming newborn.
"I've never been prouder of you my son. You gave us an heir. A beautiful, strong heir." She felt her eyes starting to close as the excitement and exhaustion hit her. She had a son, and she had just given birth.
"I think we should let the new mother rest." Her energy left her. She placed her head back on Kili's chest and kept in there. She was so tired and just wanted to sleep now.
"We'll be back later, alright?" All she could do was nod.
She would rest and Kili would be there watching over her and their son doing what he did best; protecting his family.
