Chapter 37
Thorin is Crowned and Trouble

It was a few weeks after Elrond and Arwen arrived and they were more then welcome here by the Company. Arwen and I spent time talking to the children or working in the infirmary. Dwalin could tell I was happy that I had my sister. My twin brothers Elrohir and Elladin spent time helping the Company get everything set up for Thorin's Corination.

I sat in front of my mirror in a emerald elven dress as Arwen did my hair.

"You ladies ready?" Dwalin asked, coming in his armor with his battle axes on his back. Arwen backs away with a smile and I stood up. I was fully healed but Oin wanted me to take it easy and I promised I would.

"We are. Do you think this is to much?" I ask, smoothing down my dress. I was starting to lightly show. Arwen slipped out as Dwalin walked up to me and took my face in his large hands.

"You look fine. I wouldn't make you wear clothes that you would feel uncomforatable in." Dwalin said. I smile up at him as he pressed his lips against mine and we kissed.

Later that day. I stood with Nori and Bofur as Dwalin stood near the throne with Fili, Kili, and Thorin. Dis was with them also. Elrond, my brothers, and Arwen were somewhere in the back. Thorin turned towards Gandalf and knelt in front of him. I smile as Gandalf raised the crown and place it on his head.

"THe King Under the Mountain has returned. All Hail Thorin, Son of Thrain. King Under the Mountain." Gandalf said. Everyone cheered and I smiled as I joined the cheering. Thorin raised his hand and we all went quiet.

"I couldn't have done it with the dwarves that came with me and the elf maiden that helped me and because of her, I survived. Thank you." Thorin said, looking at me. I smiled at him. "Now let's..." An explosion came and shook the whole room. My eyes widen as rocks started falling towards us. Nori and Bofur grabbed me and pushed me to the ground without hurting me and threw themselves over me and I curled up in a ball to protect my stomach as the rocks fell on us and I heard Dwalin yelling my name.

Dwalin's POV. The rocks finally stopped falling and I ran down with Fili and Kili. Elrond and the twins ran to help as I started pushing rocks away, making sure not to move it on dwarves. I found Bofur and Nori laying over Vanya.

"Vanya." I said, pushing my friends off her, gently. They groaned in pain. Vanya rolled over and eyes open looking at me. I sigh in relief. She was unhurt as she looked up at me.

Vanya's POV. I looked into my husbands eyes and give him a small smile.

"I'm alright my love. Bofur and Nori made sure I wasn't hurt." I said. Dwalin pulled me to my feet and pulled me into a kiss. I pulled away. "We need to get the injured to the infirmary. I should get there and help." Dwalin nodded. I saw my sister and Oin and Arwen helped me get Nori and Bofur to the infirmary. I tended their wounds which were only cuts and bruises, which made me happy.

Hours dragged by as the injured were brought. I saw Dwalin here and there. Only one death was reported. I knew it could have been worse as Elrond helped us out. Oin seemed happy with the assistance. I felt a hand on my shoulder as I wrapped a leg. I turned to find Thorin standing there.

"Thank you for helping. Are you alright. I knew you were among the rocks." Thorin said.

"Nori and Bofur laid on top of me to protect me and the child I carry. I was uninjured." I said. Thorin smiled.

"I'm happy to hear. Take it easy with your condition." Thorin said. I nod. I saw the Company come in and stand talking with Thorin. I stayed to talk to a young boy who broke his arm. He was terrified.

"You are one brave boy. You will make one brave warrior." I said.

"Really?" The boy asked. I nod. The mom smiled as the boy looked proud.

"Thank you for making him smile." The mom said.

"Your welcome." I said. I turn to see Oin standing there.

"Vanya. You've been helping for hours and you look tired on your feet. We got the rest. With what happened to you during the Battle of the Five Armies, we don't want you to loose this child as well. Go home and to bed." Oin said. I felt strong arms wrap around me and I lean against Dwalin.

"Aye love. Let's get you home." Dwalin said. I sigh and knew he was right.

"Alright." I gave. We head to our room. I get in my pajamas as Dwalin sat on our bed watching me. I ran my hand on my small bump as I walk.

"We got rouge dwarves." Dwalin said as I sat down beside him.

"What?" I ask.

"There's dwarves that believe Dane is the true heir and those that oppose our marriage. I want you to stay in the mountain and not go anywhere without the company. Fili and Kili will come at times to spend time. I don't want to loose you or our child. Promise you will stay safe." Dwalin said, putting a hand gently on my stomach. I hated being controlled, but knew dwarves were protective of their wives and children. I sigh.

"I promise. I want you to stay safe as well." I said.

"I will. Get some sleep, love." Dwalin said. I laid my head on his chest and let sleep take me. I knew that it was not safe without protection, even though I could fight, but I wasn't going to let this scare me for now.
