"I merely state the truth. Now, I don't want to ruin the moment, but I need to tell you something." I said, pulling away. I really hated to be a moment killer.

"Go on..." He said, interested.

"Don't ask me exactly how I know things, because I really can't tell you." He looked at me curiously, so I decided to continue. "Bard the bowman is the one who has slain Smaug in Esgaroth. He is the rightful heir of Dale, in which Smaug took gold from as well and brought to the mountain. Unintentionally, we have just destroyed Esgaroth, by awakening the beast, and it is the least you can do to give Bard my portion of the treasure, otherwise he and the elves of Mirkwood will wait outside the gates until they get it." I said all in one giant breath.

"You're sure of this?" He asked after a moment.

"Have I ever led you wrong?" I answered honestly.

"And giving him a portion of the gold will keep us from having another battle?" Thorin asked. I nodded.

"But we also have to warn them about the orcs and goblins, maybe even show a little hospitality, because we will need their help. Badly." I tried to sound as convincing as I could.

"Gold is one thing, hospitality is another... I will not be one to give hospitality to the Elves of Mirkwood, no matter how convincing you are. They showed us no kindness when our home was robbed of us, nor as we passed through their lands, and I will not either." Thorin said angrily.

"I never said you needed to be nice to the elves, but perhaps the innocent peoples of Laketown who have just lost their homes as well?" I asked with seriousness. "We were basically the reason behind it, and you will have gained an important ally." I said, thinking politically.

"I'm sorely tempted to just hand over the crown and let you have free reign, seeing as you're acting more like a regent then I am at the moment. However, I think I will keep my kingship and think on your wise council instead." Thorin replied, almost laughing.

"Remember, this is not for you, but for your people." I told him smiling. I began to walk away when I heard him speak again.

"Bekah, thank you. And what you just did for Fili, it is beyond words indeed." Thorin said as I stopped. I smiled and kept walking, feeling the need to be near Kili and Fili at the moment.

I walked back to the treasure room where everyone was back to fiddling with different assortments of treasure, but my two boys were just sitting there playing two golden harps, side by side. I smiled in pride as I watched Kili and Fili. The music they were playing was making me tired and so I sat on the steps and leaned my head against one of the stone columns.

I was woken by the feeling of being lifted and voices all around me. I opened my eyes to see that Kili was carrying me.

"What are all the noises?" I asked groggily as I woke, wiping my eyes.

"Good morning, my princess." Kili said as he looked down to me. "The noises are actually the people of laketown. It seems our Uncle has had a massive change of heart for some odd reason, and has opened the mountain to those whose homes were destroyed by Smaug. The men of Laketown are here clearing debris from the main hall to make room for cots. Uncle is having a meeting with Bard right now." I widened my eyes at him. Thorin actually took my advice?!

"Where are we going?" I asked, not complaining about why he hadn't put me down yet. He looked down at me and smiled.

"We are going to the royal chambers, which Thorin says miraculously haven't been touched by Smaug." He said as he walked up a couple flights of steps, stopping at a door to open it. When we were inside, he placed me on the bed, which was surely large enough for probably 6 fully grown dwarf men. I immediately sighed in comfort as I sank into the mattress.

"Uncle informed us of the Orcs and Goblins marching on us. Dain's army will be here tomorrow and the Elves of Mirkwood are in tents outside of the mountain. All have agreed to fight against the Orcs and Goblins." Kili said as he sat on the bed next to me.

"Where are the others?" I asked curiously, not wanting to continue on the topic of battle at the moment.

"Most are down helping the people of Laketown, Bifur and Bofur are making toys for the children while Bombur and Bilbo cook. Dori, Nori, Ori, Dwalin, and Gloin are helping move debris. Oin is healing the burns, and Fili and Balin are with Uncle in the meeting." Kili responded. So much had happened while I was asleep.

"How long have I been asleep?" I asked curiously, knowing that he had said good morning."And why aren't you in the meeting as well?"

"A day and a half. Oin checked you over and said that your body needed the rest, but every time I tried to walk away you would get restless, so I resorted to carrying you. When I couldn't, Fili would. I'm not one for those type of meetings anyways and uncle knows Fee will update me once it's over. Speaking of my brother, what you said to him the other night was... I don't even have words for how important that was to him, and to me. My brother and I have been inseparable since I was born, my first word was his name. For you, my wife, to love him as I do and allow him to remain so close to us and our child... I can not begin to thank you enough." Kili said, almost with tears in his eyes.

"There's no need to thank, my love. He is part of our family, and I want him to be able to have the same experiences as we are able to. He longs for a family of his own and even though he can't necessarily have exactly that, he can be a part of our new growing family, if you're okay with that." I told him. He leaned done and kissed me passionately.

"Three parents are better than two, I always say..." Kili said laughing.

"Really, you always say that? Strange..." I said laughing as well. We heard the door click open to reveal none other than Fili and I smiled up at Kili. "Want to do the honors?" He smirked down at me and I looked over to Fili who was slightly confused. Kili stood and walked over to Fili, holding his hand out.

"Congratulations brother, you are going to be an honorary father! Well, technically second father, but Bekah and I decided that you should be just as much a part of our child's life as us." Kili explained. Fili looked over to me with an unreadable expression and I nodded, agreeing with Kili.

"You both would do that for me?" Fili asked incredulously. Kili and I just nodded. I stood up and walked over to them, wrapping them both in a large embrace, hoping they wouldn't crush me in the process.

After a few minutes I walked back over to the end and laid down pulling my tunic up to see my swelling belly again.

"You, my little dwarfling, will be one very loved child, having two fathers and a mother." I said as I placed my hand on my baby bump, relishing in the feeling of the baby kicking softly against my hand. My eyes had been closed, but I felt two other sets of hands find their way to my stomach and I laughed quietly.

"Very loved indeed." Kili replied.

"Aye, possibly the most loved child in Middle Earth." Fili said as well, laughing. He looked at my stomach carefully and noticed the glistening metal scar. "What happened there?"

"I fell when looking for the door, but the metal was already there. My body is protecting the babe, so no I am not a piece of glass, and I don't expect to be treated as such from either of you. I am probably more durable at the moment then you both!" I said truthfully.

"That doesn't mean you are fighting during the battle." Kili said, as if reading my mind.

"I agree, it is much too risky." Fili replied. I glared at them both.

"I am not letting you both go out there without me." I said, sitting up.

"We will not be able to protect you, Bekah. You have to think about the baby now. It is our duty to fight for our people, and it is your duty to protect the child." Fili responded.

"Please, Bekah, just this once do what we ask." Kili said to me, his eyes pleading. But I couldn't just let them go to their deaths, not when they have so much to live for. I felt tears coming back to my eyes. I had an idea.

"If I promise to stay inside the walls of Erebor, then you both must promise something in return." I said, trying to dry my tears.

"Anything." Kili replied.

"You both, and Thorin, stay as close to the front gates as possible. And please, please, promise to come back to me." They both looked at me curiously after my odd request, but I had my reasons.

"I promise." Kili said, kissing my forehead.

"I promise as well." Fili replied.

Dun dun dun... Let me know what you think! I already have like 10 more chapters written so it will take reviews to get me to post! REVIEW! I love you all, BEX.
