HEEEEEEEEEY. So thanks a ton for all the likes, follows, and reviews. We LOVE them! Really hope you guys like this chapter. It's mainly a bunch of fluff. Fyi This is written as if Fili were 12, Kili 9, and Kaia 4 IN HUMAN YEARS. If any of y'all can tell me the equivalent of dwarf years to human years then great, otherwise please do not come yelling at me for improper age stuff.
Blain smiled as he watched his two sons chase each other around the tall grass. The pair were very close, and although they had their fights, they were always there for each other in the end. A small squeeze on his hand caused him to look down. Looking up at him was his three year old daughter, her big ice blue eyes staring up at him.
"Yes, Kaia, what is it, dear?"
"Where are we going?"
Blain looked up again as they continued walking.
"Out for a picnic, we'll go have some lunch, and play and just have fun today."
Kaia nodded and looked ahead again as they slowly moved their way through the fields. Blain looked down at his daughter again. He smiled as he admired her perfect brown- blonde hair. It was something he'd never seen before, a mix of blonde hair and dark brown, but it was amazing, and beautiful.
Finally they reached a tall oak tree and Blain put down the basket and blanket he'd brought along for the day. Kaia immediately sat down and pulled her doll out of the basket, while Kili and Fili continued to run about. Blain sat down and pulled Kaia into his lap, earning a squeal of laughter from his daughter.
He sat with Kaia in his lap, as she happily played with her doll. Blain's thoughts pulled him from his daughter's laughter. Nearly three years ago, he lost his wife. Now he had his daughter, so precious and so much like her mother. He looked back at his daughter, who was still prancing her doll across the blanket. Kaia suddenly looked up at her brothers. Turning to her father, she asked,
"Papa, can I play wif Fee and Kee?"
Blain nodded and allowed his daughter to jump up and run over to her brothers. He watched them talk for a few moments, and sat back against the tree.
"Fee, I wanna race." Kil said
"Alright, how about you , Kai?"
"Yes! Race! Race! Race!" Kaia jumped up and down.
"So we'll go from here to that tall tree over by the puddles. Ready? GO!"
Kaia started off strong. She was just behind Kili and Fili who were neck and neck. They started gaining. Soon, she was left in the dust. When she finally got to the tree, the boys were arguing about who won. Fili yelled,
"I WON!"
"NO! I DID!" replied Kili.
Kaia piped up and said, "No fair! You left me! Im just a girl!"
They both turned and looked at her.
"That doesn't matter, Kai. You can be as fast as me and Fee if you want."
"I can?"
Fili laughed.
"Of course! Kai, don't think you aren't fast or strong just because you're a girl! You can do whatever you want! As long as what you're trying to do really matters, and you really care about it, you can do it."
Kaia nodded and smiled.
"Again!"
Her brothers laughed, but agreed.
For the next few hours, the three siblings chased each other back and forth, Kaia trying to maker her little legs move faster, but she always came behind her brothers.
"Fee, I thought I gonna be faster now!" She pouted.
"Kai, it won't happen in a day, you have to try every day to get faster."
"Oh."
"Fili, Kili, Kaia! Come on, we have a whole basket of food to eat!" Blain yelled, holding up the basket of good
The three giggled and ran back to the blanket, sitting down to eat . Kaia stood up. Blain asked,
"Where are you going?"
"I wanna try to be faster so i can pway wif Fee and Kee."
"Well you need to finish your food first."
"Okay."
She sat back down. She started eating as fast as she could. Right when she was done, she got up and started running, leaving her family still eating. She practiced the same route from the start to the tree over and over again.
When Fili and Kili finished they got up and went over to her. She was still running.
"Kai!"
Their little sister looked up at the sound of her name.
"Kai, you have to take a break, you won't get faster by running all day."
Kai sighed and nodded, and followed her brother's back to the tree. For the rest of the day, they played, laughing and having fun. When the sun finally began to set, the family was walking back home, Kaia and Kili asleep in their father's arms, Fili walking next to him, carrying the now empty basket.
They finally reached the house, and Fili pushed the door open. Blain quickly put his two youngest to bed, Fili following, and soon they were all fast asleep. Blain smiled to himself, knowing that he would always do anything he could to protect his treasures.
YAY lots of fluff. Expect the next chapter pretty soon. LOVE YA R&R
