Sorry it took so long to update this. I forgot it existed lol.

Thank you to all who reviewed!

The day began with thunder rumbling, shaking the mountain. Fili woke to the sound and went over and climbed in bed beside his baby brother, wrapping his arm around the small bundle. "It's okay, Kili, I'll protect you from the storm." Small brown eyes opened and a wide yawn greeted Fili.

Fili pulled the covers back and snugged under them, covering them both up. It was warm there, and he could see the light from a small candle in a glass over on the table. It's small light giving off just enough light to keep some of the shadow monsters at bay.

A small hand came up a touched Fili's face, and he heard his little brother trying to baby talk. Fili pulled his brother closer and smiled. "We are safe here, mother will protect us from anything." He closed his eyes and fell asleep. This was how Dis found them a few hours later.

Dis smiled down at her two boys. Kili was sucking his thumb and Fili was holding a part of Kili's night shirt in one hand as though afraid that his brother might disappear while he was sleep. She was so lucky to have such lovely babies. For to her they would always be her babies even when they had long beards and little ones of their own. She decided to let them sleep a bit more as she left the room and closed the door behind her.

Thorin was in the kitchen sitting at the table drinking his morning tea and looked up. "The boys still asleep at this time of morning?"

"Yeah, they were so cute I couldn't wake them." Thunder rumbled again like the belly of a hungry giant. Dis started making breakfast she had her back to Thorin, but he heard her sniffling.

"Whats wrong Dis? Can I help?" Thorin asked worried. She was fine just a moment ago.

Dis turned to face her big brother tears in her eyes. "It's just that my little baby is growing up. I think I can see the beginnings of little whiskers." She wiped her wet cheeks on her apron.

Thorin shook his head looking up from his tea. "Dis, he's only a few months old, he's still a baby. He's a little young for whiskers don't you think?" Thorin asked his sister knowing good and well that Kili had a smooth face. And the fact that Dwaflings only started to grow facial hair at their preteen. That and he was only two months old for Durins sake. "You know sister, our mother was the same way about you. She wanted you to stay a baby forever. You have many more years with them both before they are any kind of grown. I am honored you are allowing me to help you raise these boys."

Dis smiled up at him. "You are a great uncle, brother. And my boys need a good male roll model now that they have no father." Dis said sadly thinking about her late husband. He was such a great dwarf and so loving. He doted on Fili. It was a shame that he never got to see his youngest before he died.

"They will grow into fine warriors, and great leaders. But if you want sister, I'll shave baby Fili, since he's sooo hairy." He told her as he rolled his eyes with a smile at his sister.

"You will do no such thing, Thorin Oakenshield! And you got it wrong again brother. It's Kili I was talking about not Fili. Kili's the dark haired one remember? The one that looks like you. Fili is the one with the lovely golden locks and looks like his father! When will you get them right?" She said with annoyance in her voice.

"Thats what I said. And if Kili needs a shave then Fili needs his beard braided." He told her scratching his own short beard.

Dis turned back to the stove, finishing the food she was starting to make for herself and Fili. Since her brother was being stubborn he could make his own food. She poured the goats milk from the clear glass bottle into the pot that was getting hot for Kili.

"Sure you did Thorin." She smiled as she began to stir the heating food.

"Mom! Kili's wet again!"

Dis took a deep breath as her oldest yell was heard from down the hallway. She loved being a mother.

"Do you mind Thorin?" Dis asked, turning she gave her brother a smile.

Thorin hated changing babies. He never like changing Fili when he was a baby and he didn't want to change Kili. "Anything for my sister." He told her heading to the boys bedroom.

Fili was now beside his brother's bed frowning looking down at the wet spot on his shirt in disgust. "He really had to go."

Thorin grabbed Fili a fresh shirt from the basket near the door and handed his oldest nephew it. Thorin reached down picking up the small kicking bundle. "Shuuu." He whispered as Kili kicked his little legs around crying. "Its alright Fili. I'll change you and you will be nice and clean again. My poor little wet Fili."

After Fili put his shirt on he looked up at Thorin. "Uncle...his name is Kili."

Thorin looked down at Fili smiling. "That's what I called him." Thorin hated his sister for giving them such simpler names. And he was embarrassed that he was having such a hard time remembering the difference.

After Kili was all cleaned up Thorin brought him to the kitchen knowing it was Kili's feeding time. Fili was already sitting at the table a small crate and pillow under him to help him sit at the right level.

"Did my baby like its bath?" Dis asked handing Thorin the small warm leather bottle sack.

"Of course he did, Kili didn't fight me in the slightest." Thorin said smiling he waved the warm sack in front of the small baby. "Hear comes the yummy meal." Thorin started making wishy noises and he waved it back and forth. "Open wide Fili!"

I hope this was cute enough :) Keep the reviews coming! They keep me inspired!
