Several hours passed by with very little progress and everyone was feeling high strung

"Ow ow ow...Ori, you are crushing my hand..."

"Learn to live with it!"

"Where did my sweet little baby brother go?!"

"Dori that is NOT helping..."

"Everyone that is enough!" Oin was fed up with the shouting and attempts to 'help" the couple by the Ri siblings and Kili, mostly consisting of fussing and just annoying them more.

"Shouldn't the baby be here by now? He looks ready" Nori asked

"Labors differ, and I don't think that is your call, his waters have not even broken yet, though I might have to do it for him if things don't pick up here soon" Oin quipped and debated throwing the bowl that poor Ori had thrown up in earlier at the star-headed dwarrows head to get him away from his space.

"Besides it was dark when I went into labor and the sun was in the sky by the time I felt it was time," Bilbo said as he helped Ori get out of his jumper who was now feeling too warm to have it on.

"I want the baby out NOW..." Ori whimpered, he had waited a full YEAR for this little one and he wanted to see it already! He was tired of being tired and the endless waiting and all of the peril that had taken place over the last few months.

"Our child will be here before you know it.." Fili soothed into Ori's ear rubbing the bump with his hands, it hurt him to see his One in pain, but it would be all over soon he hoped, that was all he could do, comfort his lover how he could and hope.

Another half an hour passed and the contractions got worse and Oin decided that it would be best to help the little one along and manually break Ori's waters since he was looking really uncomfortable and Oin's checks told him the baby was very close to being born anyway so it would not hurt anything.

"F-feels like I am wetting myself..." Ori said turning red at the feeling after the healer broke the sack, making Oin chuckle at the expression.

"Trust me, I have been puked, pooped and peed on, a little baby fluid is not anything to be embarrassed about," Oin said as he wiped up some of the goo to make his patient a bit more comfortable now that he was not sitting in liquid that no one wanted to know the contents of.

"Too much information...a-and didn't you drop Gimli at his birth?" Ori whimpered too tired and sore to really care about someone else's dignity.

"YOU WHAT!?" Bilbo shouted

"He was fine" Oin shrugged

"That explains a few things..."

"HEY!"

"Giving birth here!"

"Back to business..."

Once the waters had been broken things most certainly did pick up and all it took was a few strong pushes to get the baby free from its year-long stay.

"A hearty little boy!" Oin announced lifting the babe up to rest on Ori's chest where it's less then pleased cries died down to confused whimpers.

"He has your hair..." Ori noted tiredly as he saw the newborn had Fili's gold locks and his own large brown eyes "Hello little sweet one, we have waited a long long time for you..."

"What do you think we should name him?" Fili asked, they had been unsure of what to call their baby so had chosen to wait till they saw them face to face to decide and now that the moment had come they still were unsure, this little being needed a good name that would suit them well going forward.

"How about we name him after your Grandfather Thrain?" Ori asked a bit shyly, he had considered the name for a while, plus it seemed to fit.

Fili smiled and let the new baby grab his finger "Got a good grip, should have a good name to go with it, Thrain sounds perfect for him"

Thorin was not crying, Frodo just pulled his braid too hard...

"I think he would be honored" Thorin smiled and hugged his own mate and watched as their children went back to sleep now that all the chaos was over, all safe and sound.

Dwalin chuckled as he watched the newborn try and scale it's way to food "Got the Durin spirit that is for sure"

"Well I hope so, he will have some competition" Nori grinned

"Right, the prince and the princess are going to have their own warrior hearts"

"Them and our little one"

"Of course...WHAT!?"

Sorry, it's so short...but I did not want to drag it out to were it felt unnatural ...

And why do so many people make Thrain out to be a bad guy in their fics? He never seemed like a bad guy to me...him and Dain really get the shit end of the stick...

heck, his last words are "Tell Thorin I love him... Tell my son that I love him..."

does THAT seem like a horrible person who would hurt Thorin intentionally? Thror I can kinda understand considering...but even then his greed was most likely caused by his ring of power (and perhaps even the Arkenstone itself ) and then Thorin got sick because of Smaug's presence infecting the gold

and when Thorin is consumed by dragon sickness. He pleads to not be spoken to as if he were still Thorin Oakenshield, insisting instead that he is his men's king. A reason why the dragon sickness consumes him so deeply is because it's based on something else far deeper than raw greed: taking the mantle of "king" to Thorin is confirmation that he has honored and avenged his forefathers, who were kings themselves, and that he has taken up their responsibilities. This reinforces that same values of family Thorin has always had, albeit being shown in a less than healthy way.

plus it shows that Thror and Thrain could have been a very loving father/grandfather before the sickness took over and things turned to crap since Thorin wants to do so much in their names
