Chapter 9
Wedding
The next night. I stood in the room that was going to be used for Fili's and my wedding night. It was a long night and day without seeing or sleeping with Fili. I heard from Arwen that all the dwarves had bathed in the fountain naked. I stood looking in the mirror. I was in a cream white dress with long sleeves. Arwen had done my hair but kept it down on my request. I didn't recognize myself but I knew Fili would be awed at my look.
A knock on the door came and Thorin came in.
"You look beautiful my dear daughter." Thorin said, pulling me into a hug.
"Thank you Adar. Is it time?" I asked.
"It's time." Thorin said, holding out his arm and I took his arm. We walked to the gardens. The company stood there and Fili stood by the tree with Kili close by. Fili had a huge grin on his handsome face. Thorin gave Fili my hand and went to get in front of us. Fili and I stood facing each other holding each other's hands.
"You look beautiful." Fili said.
"Thank you. You look very handsome." I said. He was. He was dressed in Durin blue with his fur coat. He smiled and gave me a wink which made me smile.
"We gather here to unite this couple. Is there anyone here that has word why these two shouldn't wed?" Thorin asked. No one spoke up and Fili and I smiled. Our friends and family wanted us together. "Do you Fili, Son of Dis, take Amara, daughter of Thorin, as your wife?"
"Yes." Fili said with a twinkle in his eyes.
"Do you, Amara, Daughter of Thorin, take Fili, Son of Dis as your husband?" Thorin asked.
"Yes." I said.
"Put the marriage braids in each of your hairs." Thorin said. I knelt as Fili put the braid on my right side of my head with the clasp to mark me as his wife. I stood and did the same with him. Fili stood and took me into his arms, waiting for Thorin's words.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss." Thorin said. Even before Thorin finished. Fili had tipped me back and kissed me deeply and hard. I returned it, burrying my hand in his golden locks as the Company cat called and whistled. Fili straightened me up and we turned to face the Company.
"Food time!" Kili yelled as Fili wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me close to his side. We all sat at the tables that the elves set out. Somehow, Nori and Bofur were able to get us meat so that the dwarves weren't eating the salad and veggies that the elves had. Ale and wine were passed out. Fili and I sat with Kili and Thorin at the head table. Gandalf and Bilbo were smoking their pipes as we all ate.
"To Prince Fili and Princess Amara. Future King and Queen of Erebor." Dwalin yelled, holding up his mug. The dwarves cheered and I smiled as I felt Fili's hand on my thigh as the dwarves drank their drinks.
"Not yet. Don't go dying on us yet, Uncle. I don't want to be King yet." Fili said.
"You'll make a wonderful King when the time comes, my dear nephew and you'll have a wonderful Queen at your side." Thorin said, giving me a knowing smile.
"When the time comes, yes." I said, returning the smile as Nori disappears again for whatever reason.
"Come on. Kiss!" One of the dwarves shouted. I think it was Gloin. All the dwarves, but Fili, Thorin, and I were drunk. Kili was getting there. Fili leaned forward and we kiss. Cheers rang through the company. I blushed, but smiled.
"Look what I found." Nori called, coming in with instruments. The dwarves ran towards them.
"Fili!" Kili called, holding up two fiddles. Fili's smile widened and I grinned as Fili kissed my check and went to grab the fiddle.
"Come, lass. I get the first dance." Bofur said, coming over and pulling me to my feet as Fili and Kili started a fast music. Bofur had me twirling around. I was laughing and enjoying myself. I saw Fili watching me with my favorite smile on his face as I was passed to all the dwarves. Thorin was the last as we twirled and danced. It was rare that he danced, but he always would with me if I asked at dwarven parties.
"I'm proud of you, my daughter. Your birth father and mother would be too if they were here. You belong with us and to the Line of Durin." Thorin said.
"Thank you Adar." I said.
"Can I cut in?" Fili asked. Thorin nodded and kissed my forehead, before handing me off to Fili. Fili pulled me tight against him.
"Ready to head to bed?" Fili said.
"Yes." I said. Thorin came over.
"We leave in two days. We don't have much time. After Erebor is reclaimed. You both will get the time together you deserve." Thorin said.
"Yes uncle. Excuse us." Fili said.
Later that night. (AN: Not a rated M story so no sex scene.) Fili and I lay tangled in our sheets with our clothes on the floor. I was running my hand on his chest.
"I wish mother was here fo tonight." Fili said.
"I'm sure she will be happy to know that her son is married to a good woman." I said.
"Get some sleep, love." Fili said, kissing me, gently. I returned it and rested my head on his chest as I drifted off to sleep in Fili's arms, listening to his heartbeat and breathing.
AN: There's the wedding. Next chapter is something I was planning for this chapter but decided just to have the wedding instead and then the Stone Giants. I'll update soon.
