Chapter 27
New Home and Crowning
Its been two weeks since the Battle of the Five Armies and Erebor was being brought to its former glory. Fili helped his uncle and brother with the rebuilding. I stayed with the men camp with Bard and his children. I help Sigrid with the young ones and dinner. Fili came on his free time and night. He was excited to being a father. Every chance he got he was talking to the baby and singing to it. We weren't sure what Thorin will be an uncle or Grandfather, but we decided that it was going to be uncle.
"I swear if I trip and fall, I will trip you." I said as Fili lead me through the halls of Erebor with his hand along with Kili's over my eyes. Fili had a hand on the middle of my back to make sure I didn't fall.
"We won't let you fall." Fili said.
"Adar would have your head if you do." I said.
"Have some faith in us, Nes." Kili said. A door was opened and I was lead into some room.
"Alright. Now you can open your eyes." Fili said, as he and Kili removed their hands. I open my eyes to find a chamber with a roaring fire in front of me.
"Amazing." I breathed.
"We tried to get it elvish as much as we could with dwarvish with Tauriel's help." Kili said. I threw my arms around Fili's neck and we kissed. Kili slipped out to leave us alone. Fili pressed his forehead against mine.
"Thank you." I said.
"You're welcome. We do have a nursery set up for the baby already. Right next to our room." Fili said. I smiled as he showed me the rooms along with the library with elf and dwarvish books. I ran my hands over the bindings.
"So you got the dress ready for tomorrow?" Fili asked, watching me.
"Dis and I put the last touches to it this morning." I said. A knock on the door came and Fili went to answer it.
"Nes. You got a visitor." Fili called. I hurried out and Arwen stood there with a smile on her face.
"Arwen." I said, hurrying up to her and we hugged.
"I couldn't miss my cousin being crowned princess." Arwen said.
"Is Uncle Elrond here?" I ask.
"Right here." Elrond said, coming in. I was hugged by Elrond. Elrond shook Fili's hand.
"Welcome to the family. You and your kin will be welcomed in Rivendell whenever you want." Elrond said.
"Thank you." Fili said, bowing his head. Elrond stayed and then left to talk to Thorin. Arwen stayed and we sat near the fire as Fili leaves us to talk.
"Will you stay until the baby is born?" I ask.
"Maybe. I don't know yet. You've been accepted by these dwarves and Fili has done well to make you happy. I haven't seen you happy in years." Arwen said. I smiled as a maid brought us tea. I took mine.
"I have no regrets coming on this mission." I said. Arwen said her goodnights and headed out. I joined Fili in our new room. I curled up to Fili, who was sharpening a few of his weapons, but he put them down as soon as I joined him.
"Is Arwen staying till our child is born?" Fili asked, pulling me against him.
"We don't know yet." I said. Fili nodded and we fell asleep.
The next day. I slip the royal blue dress with gold collar and gold at the sleeves with a gold belt. I smoothed out my hair as I checked out the dress. It was elvish style of course which Fili and Thorin said that it was alright.
"Beautiful." Fili said, coming in dressed in royal blue dress outfit as I put the elven hair band that goes across the forehead.
"Its to elven for your people." I said.
"It suits you. I wouldn't have you in any other clothes." Fili said.
"I just don't want your people getting upset." I said.
"Its your choice, love. I won't force you to wear stuff you don't want to." Fili said. We head out. Thorin and Kili stood waiting by the enterence. Thorin smiled and hugged me.
"Good choice with the dress." Thorin said.
"Even though its elvish?" I ask.
"Its you." Thorin said.
"Thanks Adar." I said. I took Fili's arm as Thorin walks in and Fili and I follow right with Kili. Dwarves stood up. Thaundriel was there with Legolas and Tauriel. Arwen and Elrond was there. I lifted up my skirt as we came up the stairs to the four thrones. Fili and I were to the left of Thorin and Kili was to the right. We turned to face the dwarves as Gandalf came forward with Ori, Balin, Nori, and Bilbo, who each held crowns on pillows. Balin was holding Thorin's. I looked at Fili, who gave me a squeeze of the hand. Gandalf puts the crown on Thorin's head.
"Your father and Grandfather would be proud of the man you become." Gandalf said. Thorin gave a smile as the crowns were put on our heads.
"I will make Erebor what it once was and truly the Line of Durin will continue with my nephews. Fili and Kili, Sons of Dis and I'm proud to say I want to introduce my adoptive daughter and Fili's wife, Nestariel Elinel, Lady of Rivendell, who carries an heir to the thone." Thorin said. Shock mumbles went through the crowd of me, but then there were cheers.
"Hail Thorin. King Under the Mountain." Shouts came. I sat down in my throne after Thorin does, following Fili and Kili. I rest my hands on the armrests of my throne. I looked at my friends and family and saw them smiling. I smile weakly. I knew my parents would be proud if they were alive.
AN: Party afterwards and a bit of a twist. Hope you all like. :)
