HAI GUYS! So, recently I've fallen in love with the Hobbit, and my friends and I absolutely love Fili and Kili, so we got together and decided to write a story. We're really excited about this and I hope you guys like the story. FYI this is a group written story, I'm just the only one that has a fan fiction account. Anyway I hope you guys like it!

Thorin Oakenshield paced nervously outside his sister's room. He looked to the side to see his friend, Blain, sitting in a chair next to the door, staring anxiously at the wall.

"Two months early, Thorin. Two months early. This isn't good."

"I know, Kili was only a couple weeks early and he was already so small. I just- I don't know what to think."

"This is my fault, Thorin. If I hadn't-"

"Don't say that. This isn't anyone's fault."

Despite Thorin's advice, Blain remembered everything that had happened in the past few hours.

"Blain, we need to pick a name for the baby, and I think Kai is a good idea!"

"Kai, Dis? Why Kai? I thought we would name the baby after someone in the family."

"Well, I like Kai. I like the way it sounds."

"What if it's a girl Dis? What do we do then?"

Blain shook the thoughts from his head. Light footsteps cause both to look up. In front of them were two young dwarves with excited expressions on the faces.

"Papa, is our baby brother here yet?" Fili asked with wide eyes.

Blain forced a smile and lifted his sons onto his lap.

"No, Fili, the baby is not here yet, and remember, it may not be a boy. You could end up with a little sister instead."

Fili's shoulders slumped and he stuck out his bottom lip in a pout.

"But I don't want a baby sister! I want a baby brother!"

"Yeah! I wanna brother too! So we can play with him!"

"Well what's wrong with a baby sister? Can't you play with a baby sister too?"

Kili copied his brother and pouted.

"No. They like dollies and they're prissy. They don't like playing like me and Fili do."

"Well that may not be true, your little sister may like playing the way you and Fili do, you should give the baby a chance."

The boys nodded.

"But it could be a boy, right papa?"

"Yes, Kili, you could end up with either a baby brother or sister."

Suddenly a cry rang through the house followed by utter silence. Thorin glanced at Blain nervously when the door opened. There stood a solemn Oin with a tiny bundle in his arms.

"Blain, I'm sorry, she- She's just so small. She will hopefully live, but it's going to be very difficult."

Blain stared at Oin blankly. His daughter, his newborn daughter may not even live? Oin held the blankets out to Blain and he took them carefully, as if she might fall apart in his hands. Her eyes were closed, and she was still. Blain had one moment of hope, seeing his daughter peaceful in his arms when Oin spoke again.

"Blain, you- you should come inside. It's Dis, she's-"

Without further information, Blain strode into the room, careful of the bundle in his arms. Dis lay in her bed, taking shallow breaths. Blain turned to Oin who sighed.

"Blain, I'm sorry. I can't do anything, I'm sorry…"

"Blain... love… come here." Dis called quietly from the bed.

The dwarf did as she asked and kneeled down next to her.

"Blain, love, I'm sorry… watch Fili and Kili for me."

He nodded, holding her hand.

"And… Blain please, do whatever you can… please don't let her go. Protect her. Keep her safe."

"Dis, love, I'm so sorry about earlier… I didn't mean-"

"Hush now." Dis whispered. "It's alright. Take care of her Blain. And the boys too."

"I will, Dis, I promise."

Dis smiled weakly.

"I love you." She pushed the words out of her mouth as the life faded from her eyes.

Blain choked as tears ran down his face.

"I love you too."

The tiny bundle that shifted in his arms brought Blain out of his thoughts. Looking down at the small face, he remembered the promise he'd made moments ago. Tears still in his eyes, he turned to Oin.

"Oin please, tell me. What do I have to do? I'll do anything."

Oin sighed.

"Blain, It's not that easy. She's just so small. It's going to be hard-"

"I don't care. I promised Dis I would take care of her, and I intend on keeping that promise."

Oin nodded and left the room, passing the two young brothers as he did.

"Papa, is that the baby?"

"Yes, Kili, you have a baby sister."

Kili looked at Fili who walked forward to Blain.

"She's so little, papa. How will we be able to play with her?"

"You'll have to wait for a while before you play with her."

"Papa?"

"Yes, Kili?"

"Why were you crying?"

Blain sighed, how was he going to tell them this?

"Fili, Kili, boys come here."

The two did as they were told.

"Boys, your mama, is… boys, mama left."

"No she didn't papa, she's right there."

"No, Kili she's not."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean that…."

He paused, not knowing how to tell them that their mother had just died giving birth to a baby sister they didn't even want. How to tell them that their mother will never tuck them into bed again. Will never tell them how much she loves them. They will never hear the stories of her childhood that they were too young to hear at the time. But he must try. He must explain all this to them. Maybe not all at once but one day they will know that their mother believed that her daughter was worth more than her own life.

"Fili, Kili, do you remember when I told you that we all have spirits and that when we die those spirits leave our bodies?"

"Yes," they replied in unison.

"Well your mother's spirit has…. gone on…. and she won't be back for a while."

They stood in silence for a moment then Fili asked, "Are you saying Mama is dead?"

Blain sighed, here it goes. "Yes, Fili. Your mama is-" He choked again, and looked at his sweet wife laying motionless in the bed.

"Mama is dead."

Kili and Fili looked at each other, not quite understanding the impact of what their father had said. Slowly, they put it together and started tearing up. They grabbed their father and sobbed into his shoulders. Kili on his left and Fili on his right. Kili looked into his fathers eyes and Blain saw the sadness in them and he knew that this would forever impact the way they lived their lives. He figured that they might hate their new sister because of what she had caused but he was mistaken. They quietly asked if they could see their new baby sister. He agreed and saw the love in their eyes. He saw that Kili especially seemed to adore her and he was relieved that they didn't seem to be angry with her. He hoped with all his heart it would stay that way and that they would love her even as much as they would have if it were a brother.

"She's so little papa."

"Yes, Kili. She is very little, so you must be careful. You won't be able to play with her just yet.

"When can we? I wanna play with her now!"

"Not yet, Kili, not yet. When she gets a little bit older you can but not yet."

Blain sat there cradling his little girl in his arms while his sons fell asleep on his shoulders. he slowly got up and took one of the blankets and put it on top of the boys. They latched their hands onto it as they lay there. He took his daughter to the crib that Bofur had made for her. He gently laid her inside it and stepped back and just stood there, staring at his beautiful daughter. As he stood there a small smile spread across her face.

Now that all his children were all fast asleep, he allowed the tears to fall. He barely made it out of the room before he crumpled to the floor, sobbing. How was he supposed to go on without the love of his life? He sat there, shaking as he thought about how horrible his world would be now. He stared at the wood he sat on, when suddenly two brown boots stood in his vision.

"Blain, I-"

Blain looked up, seeing his best friend with tears in his eyes as well. He knew.

Standing on his shaky legs, Blain put his hand on Thorin's shoulder.

"Thorin, I'm sorry. She- She was your sister, and- I'm so sorry."

"Blain, yes, of course I'm upset that Dis is gone, but I worry about the boys. Are they alright?"

"For the most part; they were upset at first, but when they saw the baby, they just fell in love with her."

"Good, I'd rather them focus on the new baby than the death of their own mother."

"I suppose we should start working on the burial details soon." Blain said as he choked back another sob.

"Yes, but one thing first...,"

"And what is that?"

"What is the child's name?"

Blain peered behind him into the room at his precious daughter.

"Kaia. Her name is Kaia."
