Sorry about the wait but I have been watching the Hobbit behind the scenes goodies (only got past part of the first stuff ) but it is awesome seeing how the film was made and stuff that was impromptu or just the actors being silly (poor Dori's actor having a goblin actor hump his leg!)

And poor Gandalf's actor breaking down over being alone in the green room...yikes...it was sweet though when they gave him a relaxation tent to make up for it a bit

not to mention the Gollum face Bilbo makes seems to be haunting me on pintrist...it's like GO AWAY! it scares the FUCK out of me! .time, It's like some little old man who looks like he could be some kids GRANDPA, suddenly turning into what looks like a demon from hell! And the face itself comes right the FUCK out of nowhere!

Plus I have been working a little on the sequel to "battle of the mind and the heart" and figuring out what to do with Maya_Iyoku's idea since I might do hers first since the sequel is proving to be a stubborn write...

Later into the night, everyone was trying to get some proper sleep, well mostly everyone, Fili could not sleep, he did not want to risk anything, with his own child still on the way, and his new baby cousins to protect, falling asleep was not going to come easy till the dwarf who tried to end them was caught.

"Can not sleep either Fili?" came a deep whisper from beside him

"No uncle, I can't risk it, not now, I have a bad feeling that he will make another attempt, soon"

"I do too, perhaps we should take turns watching like before, that way we both can get at least some rest, not to mention it will keep one of us awake to care for the babies so they don't wake up the others, we can't risk our Ones being more exhausted then they are already, especially if things turn to blows when he does attack, they already had to defend themselves once," Thorin said as he stood from his bed to check on his One and their twins well Fili went to check on his own mate, both the babies and their bearer were still were sleeping peacefully, and for that the king under the mountain was grateful.

"Do you think he perhaps left the mountain? That he won't try anything more? Ori did say he put the needle in pretty deep...perhaps he perished from the wound, and that was after uncle Bilbo hit him with a rock" Fili said hopefully

"I highly doubt we are so lucky, not to mention no one has found a corpse yet or is missing any travel items that he could have taken if he did leave the area, He will return, I am sure of that, he won't just give up, he knows he can't get into the royal family now, so now he will try and kill them all for revenge" Thorin hated thinking that way, but it was the obvious thought process of someone who was this insane.

They would not stop till they were killed

"Get some rest Fili, I'll keep watch for a while," Thorin said as he got back into the bed but did not lay down or turn away from the door and Fili nodded and got into his own bed, thankfully no one woke up from the small conversation and slept on.

Fili snuggled Ori and gently rubbed the bump, hoping that everything would be alright from this point forward, that the one who would have murdered his One in cold blood would be caught, and face justice and never be able to touch anyone again, the heir would make sure he would pay dearly for what he tried to do.

kick kick

"Shh, Shh now, don't want to wake your amad...it's alright, I'm here, just go back to sleep..." Fili cooed and smiled when the baby turned over and settled "that's a good little one"

That is when he heard it

The door creaked

Fili settled down more, as if he was in a deep sleep, the shadow in the doorway was not a shape of one from the company, the heir bit back a shout as he saw a knife in the intruders hand, how this creature had made it passed their guards he had no idea, and he was going to find out.

The knife rose over Ori's head

Fili lunged

"MURDERER!"

The room erupted into chaos as everyone snapped awake and Fili practically dove over his mate to tackle the would-be assassin to the ground and more torches were lit to expose him as Roki himself.

"So you are foolish enough to attack the same night we come back!" Thorin said storming over as Bilbo tried to comfort the shrieking twins and stomped his foot down on Roki's hand that held the knife making him yelp and loosen his grip on it so Fili could take it.

"You may have caught me, but you and the prince's whores will never be true consorts in the line of Du-acK!" Roki grunted as Thorin dug his heel deeper into his hand to shut him up.

"You will NOT speak of my beloved or my nephew in law! Your foul tongue does not deserve to even have their name upon it for a moment! And if you speak about them again I will remove it myself!" Thorin growled and wrenched the traitor to his feet as guards ran in and had the scum thrown at them to toss in a cell.

"He was foolish to come in here wounded, not to mention with all of us in the same spot, he should know Durin's are light sleepers," Fili said glaring at the doorway where Roki was led out of.

"He knows nothing of our line, if he did, he never would have even tried to harm our Ones" Thorin replied and went back over to Bilbo and the twins to hug them "are you all alright?"

"Yes, he did not try to harm us just yet, he went after Ori first, most likely as revenge for his eye," Bilbo said and sat back on the bed his legs shaking from the adrenaline that shot through him at the incident.

"We will hold the trial as soon as the sun rises, I am sure it will not be a ..long event, I am very sure of that fact" Thorin bit back a scowl, he was going to make sure every single crime was brought up, that everyone in the mountain knew what scum he was, and that he would be made an example of, to prevent any more incidents like this, oh, yes, Thorin was going to make sure everyone got the message!

Loud and Clear!

The next morning everyone was preparing for the trial, all of the dwarves responsible for the incident would be tried at the same time as to keep things from going on too long and since there was no question of all of their guilt, any extension of the judgment would just waste everyone's time, the accused could say their thoughts and had a chance to make their peace and apologize before sentencing was passed, if they did, the sentence could be changed from immediate death to banishment with threat of death if they tried to step foot in the mountain again.

Both Thorin and Fili were helping their Ones dress, being particular with the jewelry and clothing used, they wanted their loves to look every inch the beloveds of the king and his heir, to shove their status in the faces of the ones who had tried to hurt them, neither seemed to mind the attention at the moment despite usually being the types to not want a lot of decoration, but both guessed that their Ones had the same idea.

It was no time for modesty when it came to showing off you're not going to be shaken by bottom feeders

Thorin even broke out some nice emerald decorations that belonged to his paternal grandmother for Kili to put on Tauriel, to show her off as a true princess of Erebor, the king under the mountain was done playing nice! He would show them all!

And Thorin did have to admit they looked very nice on her, the necklace graced her shoulders in a very nice manner that showed off her thin but strong arms, with the teardrop-shaped green gems falling down and resting just above her breast, the bracelets on her wrists doubled as a sort of arm guard, being made out of silver with a large emerald set into the middle of the metal to compliment the necklace, and the final pieces were emerald earrings that had the same teardrop shape that hung down on the inside shell of her ear as the silver covered the outer rim, a bit of a tricky fit on an elvish ear, but not impossible with the help of strong and skilled fingers.

They needed to be used, not collecting dust in the royal cabinets, everyone was happy that despite the being made for a dwarrowdam, the jewels proved easy to make suitable to the elves more slender frame, he even had a matching sapphire set that belonged to Thora's namesake, they would fit her beautifully when she was old enough to wear them.

It was a rather sweet image of Tauriel and Thora having matching jewelry sets since his daughter most likely would idolize both her grandmother and the elf maiden and the set would be easy enough to replicate if Dis desired her own match, she did not like the emerald or the sapphire set, said they did not compliment her very well, so she would just need to pick a jewel she desired for hers, perhaps rubies?

He was getting off track...but considering what happened in just the past week he was bound to be at least a little bit scattered.

Bilbo was lacing up his vest and was doing his best to make everything smoothed down and presentable, a small cramp kept going through his gut and forced him to stop after the third spasm and take a few breaths that Thorin took quick note of.

"Are you in pain?" Thorin asked and hugged his consort trying to offer some comfort

"No, just sore is all, I'll be fine" Bilbo smiled

"You and Ori are not required to go if you do not want to" Thorin knew only himself and Fili would for sure need to be there, but he also knew that it might look bad if everyone who was affected by Roki's plot did not show themselves, but he did not want to force anyone to go, his Mizimelûh was still obviously weak from the twins birth and from the emotional strain of confessing what was really going on with his behavior in the past months, not to mention Ori was entering the stage when complications most often appeared at, the king under the mountain would much rather Bilbo and Ori get more rest.

Bilbo would have none of that

"We will be fine, this is something we need to do, to show him that we will not be brought down by someone like him" Bilbo was livid, he was not about to let some wanker who was trying to trick his husband think for one second that he even had a small victory, he would work through his discomfort and stare that creature in the eyes.

He did not get sent to this other world, after everything he had gone through and done in the first, and what he had survived in this one, just to be defeated by some stomach cramps!

A guard walked in just as every gem and fur-trimmed cloak was in the perfect place

"Your majesties, it's time for the judgment"

and if anyone is wondering, pain and discomfort AFTER birth although common can be an unpleasant surprise for the new mother. Such pains can be as intense and as severe as labor pains. This pain can last for as long as three months after childbirth. They are due to strained tissues and can affect the breasts, the vagina, the lower abdominal, the stomach, the back, and the pelvic area.

and another fun fact about the hobbit films...during the barrel scene...they could not go to the bathroom...so a couple of actors actually...peed themselves into the water...and Bilbo's actor was actually IN that water...yeah YUCK

And Legolas's actor makes a mpreg joke... not telling you where it is, but it is in the extras for the desolation of Smaug
