Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot of this story.


It was a cold and rainy day in The Blue Mountains. Dis was busying herself by making lunch for her boys. Fili and Kili were bored out of their minds and where complaining endlessly. "Do not worry my loves, your Uncle will be home soon and I'm sure he will play with you" Dis called from the kitchen.


Thorin was still at the forge pounding away at a sword. "Thorin we have been at this for hours we will not get them all done tonight" said Dwalin looking tired. Thorin looked his friend over; yes they should call it quits for the day. He hadn't even notice that the sun had long since gone down.

"Very well you go home and I'll close up" Thorin said looking relieved to be going home.

An hour later Thorin was making his way home. The headache he woke up with that morning had not left and he was starting to feel very weak. "A hot meal and a warm fire is all I need" he thought to himself.

The first thing he noticed when he returned home was the smell of food and two little dwarfing's giggling from within their rooms. Thorin smiled. Yes he didn't have his mountain but what he did have a beautiful life in the Blue Mountains.

"Thorin is that you?" Dis called from the kitchen. She came out wiping her hand on her apron. Dis took in his appearance with a frown. "Brother, are you well?" She asked in a worried tone.

"Yes I am fine, nothing a little sleep and food won't cure" Thorin said with a wink.

Thorin snuck past his nephew's bedroom, hoping to get a bath before they noticed that he was home. When he returned from the bathroom dinner was ready and two little dwarfing's sat at the table. "And what are the sad looks for "Thorin asked, bringing their attention to him.

"Uncle" they cried in unison. "We have been waiting for you all day so we would have someone to play with. Will you play with us uncle? "Kili asked, his eyes widening into the look he knew Thorin could never say no to. Thorin wanted to say no but the looks on their faces prevented him from doing so.

"Boys, let your uncle rest " Dis said trying to save her brother from the tough situation at hand.

"No it's alright Dis" Thorin cut in, "Perhaps we can have a story instead, hmm?"

"Story!" both boys said at once.

Three stories later and the two dwarfing's where sound asleep. Thorin was on his way to bed but Dis stopped him "I've been watching you all night" Dis started. "You are sick aren't you?" Dis asked voice heavy with worry.

"I am fine sister. Nothing a little sleep won't take care of."

"Very well brother but if you need me please come and get me." Dis said before turning to go to her own room.
