Big thanks to Mimizzzz for following.

BlondiezHere – Yeah but I imagine for many people it's easier to talk about traum to someone you aren't close to. I was tempted to find a way to keep them together but nothing really worked.

Rachetg – Yeah I wanted Lysa and Fili to have a special moment together.

SunSetsOfAnotherWorld – Haha!

Nice Egan – Plenty more emotions to come.

Thatgirl2002 – Yeah but they'll see each other a lot.

The Miracles Keep on Coming

Two Months Later

Biting her lip Lysa glanced up at the looming form of the Lonely Mountain. She'd hadn't left it since Fili first brought her here and the thought of having to do so had caused her stomach to churn all day. Beside her Fili was busy talking with Thorin and Lysa wrapped her arms around herself. She still couldn't quite believe what was happening and she didn't think Fili could either.

Kili and Kessandra were finally getting married.

Rubbing her hands together Lysa glanced down at her own engagement ring. Already she'd been having to make plans for her own wedding. Dis had shown her at least a dozen dress designs with promises of more. Leaning against Daisy Lysa gave a small sigh. She didn't exactly wish to be a slave again but sometimes she wanted her life to be simpler again. A life where no heavy expectations were placed on her. Where she didn't feel like she had to please everyone all the time.

"Are you ready?"

Nodding at Fili Lysa said nothing as he made a step for her. She could ride perfectly well by herself but she didn't yet trust herself to travel such long distances yet. Besides; she was nervous enough about going back. She would be far more so if she wasn't at Fili's side the whole time. Shuffling forward Lysa smiled as Fili mounted behind her and slipped an arm around her waist.

"Are you alright sweetheart?"

She nodded, "A bit nervous. Last time I was there…" trailing off she nodded. Fili kissed her neck.

"I know. But it's changed so much. Honestly Lysa you won't recognise it I swear."

Nodding Lysa leant against him. Fili was no doubt right. But that still didn't mean she was enjoying the idea of going back.

Even though she'd tried to focus on anything and everything else; by the time they arrived Lysa couldn't stop shaking. Fili was gently rubbing his arms as the drawbridge was lowered and Lysa shook her head.

"No Fili…No Fili I can't."

"Lysa you'll be fine."

"No," turning round she shook her head, "No they'll take me away from you. They'll chain me and lock me up again. Please I want to go back."

Fili ran a hand down her face.

"Lysa look at me. Do you trust me?"

"With my life."

He seemed ever so slightly shocked by this answer. However he was quick to nod.

"No one here will try and take you away. I promise you Lysa that you will be safe. You'll be looked after and you have an entire company of dwarves who will protect you."

Nodding Lysa glanced behind Fili at Shirin. She seemed just as nervous and Lysa could see Dwalin whispering softly in her ear. Licking her lips she nodded.

"Okay."

Fili kissed her nose before ushering Daisy forward. Lysa kept a tight grip on his arm as they entered the town. A few people came out to meet them but most seemed to still be in their homes. Lysa forced herself to return their smiles – hoping she wouldn't be sick. Fili gently hummed in her ear and Lysa relaxed against him. When they reached the main courtyard her eyes automatically glanced around for the slaves. But when no one came a genuine smile appeared on her lips. Fili smiled.

"My lady?"

He slid down from the horse and turned to help her. Jumping down from Daisy Lysa turned and hugged him close.

"I never thought I'd see this place without slaves," she whispered in his ear. Fili opened his mouth when there was a noise behind them. As the huge double doors opened Lysa could see two people moving out. Fili smiled at her before hurrying off. Watching him hug his brother caused a tear to form in Lysa's eye.

"Lysa is that you?"

At Kessandra's voice Lysa gave a small blush. The new queen took her hands.

"You look wonderful."

Lysa glanced down at herself. She was only wearing a dark green travel dress. Yet given Kessandra had only ever really seen her in her slaves uniform she wasn't surprised at the shock on her face. Lysa opened her mouth when she realised Kessandra was staring at her ring.

"Is that…are you…?"

Nodding Lysa watched as Kessandra turned to Kili.

"You never said!"

He shrugged, "I wanted it to be a surprise for you."

Nodding Kessandra smiled at Lysa before clearing her throat.

"Please come inside. Someone will get the ponies."

Lysa couldn't talk as Kessandra linked arms with her.

"Are you nervous?"

Nodding Lysa gave her an apologetic smile.

"A little. I mean…I'm so used to being a slave here I think it'll take me a while to adjust. I'm sorry I never came earlier. I wasn't ready."

Kessandra waved away her apologies.

"Lysa it's fine. I'd be exactly the same if I was you. I'm just glad you're getting better and that what my family did won't ruin your life."

Nodding Lysa licked her lips.

"There's more."

"Oh?"

"My…" Lysa gripped Kessandra's hands, "My parents are alive. I met them several weeks ago and they're now living in Erebor."

Kessandra said nothing. Instead she threw her arms around Lysa.

"That's amazing! Oh Lysa…honestly that's brilliant news!"

Smiling Lysa glanced over in time to see Fili gazing endearingly at her. Blushing she realised Kili was giving Kessandra the same look. Kili moved forward and took Kessandra's hands.

"Well then, until tomorrow my dear."

Kessandra smiled, "Don't be late."

"I wouldn't dare," kissing her gently Kili then smiled at Lysa before turning and moving off with Fili. Lysa watched the two figures with a smile.

One day it would be her wedding.

Knocking on the door Lysa didn't even bother to wait for Kessandra's voice. Pushing it open she smiled as the other girl rubbed her eyes.

"Is it morning already?"

Lysa nodded, "Dis is coming with your dress and I've got something for that headache of yours."

Kessandra took the glass with a small nod.

"Don't ever get drunk the night before your wedding Lysa. It's not a good idea."

Lysa nodded as Dis eased past her with a huge pile of dresses in her arms. Placing Lysa's on the chair she then moved towards Kessandra.

"Come on my dear. We've got plenty to do and not a lot of time."

As Kessandra forced herself out of bed Lysa couldn't help her giggle. The other girl glanced at her.

"Another piece of advice. Don't do a morning wedding."

Nodding Lysa glanced at her own dress that was sitting on the chair. She hadn't yet seen the finished product and she wondered how Dis had been able to transport it here without ruining it.

"Lysa?"

Turning round Lysa saw Dis passing her a brush.

"Now are you sure you just want to leave your hair as it is?"

Running her fingers through it Lysa nodded.

"Kessandra is the main focus here not me."

Dis smiled and once again turned her attentions on the bride to be. Turning away Lysa ran the brush through her hair and redid her braids. Every so often she would hear Kessandra cry out if Dis came across a tangle or knot. Once her own hair was done Lysa pulled her travel dress off and grabbed her new one; slipping it down over her head. The bright red fabric nestle against her skin and she hurriedly did the blue and black laces. There was gold and silver detailing on the hem and collar with fur trimming the cuffs.

"Can I see?"

Obliging Lysa turned and gave a small twirl. Kessandra's face was like that of a little girls and Dis gave her a fond smile.

"You look beautiful."

"Mother I think the correct term is she looks magnificent!"

At Fili's voice all three of them gasped. Turning Lysa saw him standing in the doorway. He'd put on a new tunic and jacket and Lysa could see new beads in his hair as well. Fili glanced her up and down.

"I don't think Mahal could have done better himself."

Blushing Lysa stepped aside so he could come in.

"I'm not going to be long."

"How's Kili?" Kessandra gripped the back of her chair and Fili smirked.

"Nursing a sore head," his face then straightened out, "And he's incredibly nervous. More nervous than I've ever seen him."

"He'll be fine," Lysa placed her hand on his arm. Fili nodded.

"Anyway I only came to pick Lysa up."

Taking his hand Lysa waved at Kessandra.

"You'll be fine."

She nodded and Lysa allowed Fili to lead her into the corridor. Linking arms with him Lysa smiled.

"One day that'll be us. You getting worried and me…well I'm always worried."

Laughing Fili kissed her forehead.

"Lysa I'm counting the days until our wedding. It can't come fast enough for me."

As they entered the great hall Lysa gasped at the sheer number of people that were there. What shocked her even more was how many she recognised as previous slaves. None of them were in uniform and all were smiling. Waving to several of them Lysa moved up to the front where a trembling Kili stood. Lysa rubbed his arm and he smiled at her.

"You look lovely."

"So does Kessandra."

Kili gulped and Fili patted his shoulder.

"Kee you'll be fine. Just take a few deep breaths, say the vows and you're done."

Nodding Kili squeezed Fili's hand.

"I wonder how relaxed you'll be on your wedding day?"

Giggling at the colour on Fili's face Lysa moved to her seat by Balin. The older dwarf smiled at her.

"I always thought I'd be dead in my grave when this day came," he nodded at Kili.

"If only their father could be here to see this."

Lysa sighed, "Fili never really mentions him."

"I imagine he can barely remember him," Balin whispered, "I know Kili doesn't."

"When I got my parents back," Lysa sighed, "I didn't even think for one second how horrible Fili must have felt. To know that he'll never get his father back whilst I had mine…"

"Don't fret over it lass," Balin took her hand, "Dis has done a miraculous job to raise them both and they've both turned into loyal, brave and kind hearted men. Fili is devoted to you Lysa."

Nodding Lysa opened her mouth when she heard the doors at the back open. Getting to her feet she watched as Fili whispered something in Kili's ear. An old dwarf whom she didn't know stood at the head of the great hall. Turning round to catch a view Lysa's mouth dropped.

Kessandra had always been beautiful but now… now she was radiant! Her dark green dress offset her skin perfectly. Beads of gold and silver were dotted around in her hair which fell over her shoulders. A gold belt sat on her hips and Lysa noticed she gripped Thorin's arm nervously. Turning back to Kili she could see him staring at her with tears in his eyes. Kessandra took his hand and both Thorin and Fili stepped back. The old dwarf cleared his throat; raising his hands for silence.

"We are gathered here in the halls of our fathers.

To witness the joining of the two before us.

May Mahal bless them and fill their life with joy and good fortunes.

Side by side they stand.

Side by stand they fight.

Side by stand they shall always be.

In sickness and in health.

In life and in death.

For all eternity"

Lysa could see the nerves on Kili's face as he turned to face Kessandra. Taking a ring from Fili he slid it onto her finger and held her hands.

"I Kili, son of Vili promise to love you. I promise to see you as my friend, my love and my equal. To protect you with my life and to fight beside you. I promise to support each and every decision, and to never leave your side. I will cherish you and give you everything you deserve. I am forever yours and only death will take me from you."

Brushing away a tear Lysa watched as Kessandra took a ring from Dis.

"I Kessandra, daughter of Kehil promise to love you. I promise to see you as my friend, my love and my equal. To protect you with my life and to fight beside you. I promise to support each and every decision, and to never leave your side. I will cherish you and give you everything you deserve. I am forever yours and only death will take me from you."

The old dwarf nodded.

"From this moment until death you are husband and wife. Your union has been witnessed and blessed and we wish you all the utmost happiness from this day forth. You may seal your union."

Lysa watched as Kili pulled Kessandra in for a hug. Their lips moved against each other and Lysa could see Fili smiling at her. Getting to her feet her voice was lost in the cheering.

"Lysa?"

Shutting her eyes Lysa silently prayed Fili would go away. It had been three days since the wedding and they were due to leave tomorrow. But ever since the wedding her stomach had hated her. She hadn't been able to stop throwing up.

"Just a minute."

As she heard his footsteps however she could have screamed at him. However another need to be sick stopped her from doing just that.

"Lysa? Lysa what's wrong!"

Lifting her head Lysa sighed. Fili knelt down and pushed her hair from her face.

"How long have you been like this?"

"A few days."

"And you didn't tell me?"

"No," Lysa let him pull her to her feet, "I didn't want to worry you."

Shaking his head Fili looked her up and down.

"I'm taking you to the healers. No discussion."

Nodding Lysa allowed him to lead her into the corridor. She didn't need to go to the healers. She knew exactly what the matter with her was.

Yet after all these years of thinking otherwise she didn't dare believe it.

Fili couldn't stop pacing. He'd left Lysa with a healer and then gone outside to wait in the corridor. He knew he shouldn't be he couldn't stop wondering what was wrong. What if she was seriously ill? She should have told him straight away.

"Fili?"

Spinning round Fili licked his lips as Lysa moved forward.

"Well? What is it? Are you ill? What's happened?"

She mumbled something and Fili gripped her arms to steady her. She was so white he was almost waiting for her to faint.

"When he told me," Lysa's voice wavered, "I thought he was wrong. I thought…I mean it was impossible."

"What? Lysa for the love of…please just tell me."

She nodded, "I'm pregnant."

"Pregnant?" Fili's knees shook.

"But how…how far..?"

"A couple of months," Lysa nodded.

"You…but you told me you could never bear children."

"I always assumed that was the case," Lysa squeezed his hands, "I…are you…happy?"

"Lysa…Lysa this is wonderful!"

She gasped as Fili picked her up and swung her round. Burying his face in her neck he set her on her feet.

"Oh my darling! This is the best news in the world! You…I mean I'll be…"

Breaking off he pressed his lips to Lysa's. Pulling back he grinned at her.

"I love you."

Standing by Daisy Lysa watched Fili say goodbye to his brother. They'd both agreed not to say anything about the baby until they were back at Erebor. Lysa rubbed her stomach. The wedding would need to be brought forward. Fili was going to be king; he couldn't have a child out of marriage. Tearing herself from her thoughts Lysa smiled at Kessandra who hugged her tightly.

"Fili told us," she whispered, "I think he wanted us to know in case we don't see you for a while. Congratulations Lysa."

Nodding Lysa then turned to Kili who hugged her close.

"Well done Lysa," he smiled at her, "Fili was beside himself when he told us. I hope you don't mind."

Lysa shook her head, "Look after yourself. And her."

Kili nodded, "Believe me, it's she who looks after me."

Giggling Lysa stepped back and mounted Daisy. Fili got on behind her and his hand gently rested on her stomach.

"Now maybe you'll stop worrying about not being good enough." His lips grazed her cheek. Lysa winked at him.

"Maybe I will…daddy."

Beaming Fili kissed her shoulder before digging his heels in. Glancing back at the castle Lysa smiled. She had come so far from where she once was.

But she still had a fair way to go.

Everything's happy now! One wedding down and yes Lysa and Fili are having a baby! Feel free to guess if it'll be a mini Lysa or a mini Fili. Let me know what you think xxx
