~~∞∞Ω∞∞~~ Chapter 14 ~~∞∞Ω∞∞~~

Kili stood off to the side as Dwalin and Fili were sparring and Fili was getting his butt kicked. Kili let out a laugh as Fili lost his footing and fell to the ground. Kili was so engrossed in his laughter that he didn't hear anyone behind him. Kili yelped when his feet got knocked out from under him and he landed hard on the ground.

"You should not laugh at your brother Kili, especially if you end up in the same position." Thorin said.

Kili looked at Thorin's hands and saw Orcrist there with the sheath on and that explained what tripped him up. Kili heard laugher and saw Frodo looked at him laughing. Kili could tell that Frodo had been crying and Bilbo as well but not noticeable unless you knew him and seeing them finding something funny he couldn't find it in him to care much.

"On your feet Kili you are sparring with me."

"What I thought I was sparring with Dwalin?"

"Dwalin is sparring with your brother so he can't so you'll spar with me."

Kili gulped slightly and stood up looking at Thorin. He knew this was going to hurt later but it would be the same with Dwalin. Kili went and got his sword from the wall and saw Bilbo and Frodo sitting down watching and Bilbo explaining everything to Frodo. Kili walked back over and stood in front of Thorin and stood ready. Thorin launched at Kili making him go on the defensive and try to attack back.

Bilbo sat with Frodo and watched the four dwarves out on the training yard, wincing every so often as Fili and Kili got hit with the back end of Dwalin or Thorin's weapons or fall to the ground when tripped. Frodo was staring in aww at Thorin as he sparred with Kili and Bilbo smiled at the look on Frodo's face.

"Uncwle Biwbo can I learn to fiwght?" Frodo asked.

Bilbo gaped down at Frodo and looked up hearing a few groans and saw Thorin had a cut on his arm, Kili had dropped his sword in reaction to Thorin's arm, Fili stood with his weapon locked in Dwalin's staring at Frodo and Dwalin was just looked at them. Bilbo saw Thorin shake his arm and rip the bottom of his tunic.

"Thorin come here." Thorin snorted and walked over to Bilbo and passed him the piece of cloth.

"Can I Uncwle Biwbo?"

"We shall see Frodo. You are too young to learn weapons." Bilbo said as he wrapped Thorin's arms, thankfully it wasn't deep.

"After we are done training maybe Dwalin will show you a few moves you can learn for someone your age, if your uncle is alright with that?"

Bilbo sent Thorin a looked of 'seriously you are asking that'. Thorin shrugged as he picked up his weapon from beside Bilbo.

"Can I uncwle? Pwease?"

"You have to ask Dwalin really nicely after they are done. He may be tired but I'm sure if he is he'll show you some things when he isn't tired." Bilbo told him and Frodo nodded happily.

Bilbo looked up at Dwalin who nodded his head and pushed Fili away and started sparring with him again. Thorin walked back over to Kili who was staring at his uncle sheepishly, eyes darting down to his arm. They sparred for another while before Thorin nodded to Kili who was panting.

"Very good. Why don't you take a breather and then practice with your bow." Kili nodded and sat down beside Bilbo and Frodo. "Fili." Fili looked up from where he was talking with Frodo. "You are sparring with Dwalin and myself."

"Thorin how is that fair?" Bilbo asked.

"He has twin swords so he needs to practice using both at the same time. In battle he may have two opponents and knowing how to fight with both is important."

"It's ok Bilbo. I learnt this from a young age when I wanted to fight with twin swords. This is nothing new."

Fili faced Dwalin and Thorin and nodded when he was ready. Thorin and Dwalin attacked and Bilbo was surprised to see Fili was able to hold his ground and defend himself against both. Fili was able to attack at both of them a couple of times before he was knocked onto his back by Thorin.

"I give." Fili said as he panted on the ground.

Thorin nodded and helped Fili back to his feet. He clapped Fili on the shoulder as Fili stood for a second to catch his breath. Fili grabbed his swords and moved over beside Bilbo and sat down on the chair.

"You ok?"

"Yeah I'm fine Bilbo. Just need to catch my breath."

"That was impressive Fili."

"Thank you Bilbo. You should see uncle when he trains with more than just Dwalin. Thorin doesn't use twin swords but he does practice with a second sword as sometimes you might pick up a fallen warrior's sword for extra defense. It takes a lot of practice to be able to do it, especially because you won't know the sword you pick up."

Bilbo nodded turning back and watching Thorin and Dwalin fight. Frodo covered his ears with a gasp making Bilbo look down and Fili look around Bilbo to Frodo.

"It's louwd."

"Yes it is." Bilbo said. "You can take your hands away Frodo. It's not that loud." Bilbo laughed and Bilbo looked back at them. "They are really going at it."

"Yeah they always do. They weren't going easy on Kili or myself either. Not the best time to train with Uncle when he is stressed."

"Well I'll try to not let him get too stressed then."

"Oh you are my favourite." Fili said hugging Bilbo dramatically.

"Get off me. You are all sweaty." Bilbo laughed.

Fili laughed and let him go as Bilbo just shook his head with a smile. Both settled back when the doors slammed open with a "Thorin Oakenshield!" was yelled at the same time. Bilbo jumped along with Fili, Kili and Frodo and Thorin and Dwalin staggered and nearly hit each other which would have ended badly.

"YOU DIDN'T THINK TO INFORM ME WE HAD GUESTS! I THOUGHT FATHER AND MOTHER TAUGHT YOU BETTER! THEY CERTAINLY TAUGHT ME!"

"Dis how many time have I told you, you can't do that in the training grounds. Someone will get hurt."

"SOMEONE IS ABOUT TO GET HURT."

Bilbo watched as Dis stormed in and felt something tug on his shirt. Bilbo looked to Frodo with a smile and saw he was terrified.

"It's alright. It's just Thorin's sister, Fili and Kili's mother."

Frodo just pushed into Bilbo's side and watched terrified as the dwarf stormed up to Thorin.

"I hear from the guards at our chambers that Gandalf is here and then I try to find you and they tell me you weren't in the royal wing and then it takes me over an hour to find you and only because I passed Bofur who told me you were here."

"Dis you were busy in meeting of your own. Gandalf was staying the night and I was going to inform you when I knew your meetings were done. Hold on they should still be going."

"They finished because I got sick and tired listening to the arguments from those stupid dwarfs about farming."

"Well if you have finished would you like to meet who Gandalf brought with him." Thorin said

"Yes I would."

Thorin nodded over to where Bilbo and the boys were sitting and headed over as Kili stood to let Thorin sit beside Frodo. Frodo was now hiding in Bilbo's arm and refusing to look out at anyone. Thorin put a hand on Frodo's back and he peaked out at him.

"Frodo I would like you to meet my sister Dis. Dis this is Bilbo's nephew Frodo. He will be staying with us from now on."

Frodo peaked out at the dwarf in front of them and saw her with a big smile on her face and Frodo hid back into Bilbo again. Bilbo sighed and lifted his arm and wrapped it around Frodo's back and brought him forward. Dis stepped forward and knelt down in front of them.

"Hello Frodo it's nice to meet you." Frodo smiled slightly and pressed backwards into Bilbo who sighed. "I hope I didn't frighten you. I was only trying to scare my idiotic brother."

Frodo giggled at the sigh Thorin let out which made Dis smile. Thorin saw Bilbo hide a yawn behind his hand and knew it was getting late and was almost time for dinner. Dis looked to Thorin who stood up.

"Come it is almost time for dinner. We'll go get cleaned up and then meet everyone for dinner. Frodo can meet the rest of the company." Thorin said and helped Bilbo to his feet.

Frodo looked up at Thorin as he stepped in closer and held out his arms to Frodo who gave a small smile and held up his arms for him. Thorin lifted Frodo into his arms and sat him on his hip and turned back to everyone and there was a bright wide smirk on his sister's face. Thorin rolled his eyes and wrapped his free arm around Bilbo's waist and led him from the training grounds.

Dis was quick to follow after Thorin wanting to know more. She knew there would be a good reason the wizard would drag one so small from his home, but she would wait till her brother and Bilbo were not with Frodo.

Fili, Kili and Dwalin followed after them as they headed back up to the Royal Wing. Bilbo winced, his feet getting sore from walking. Bilbo sighed in relief seeing they were at the Royal Wing finally and he would be able to sit down for a little while before going back down to eat. Thorin walked past his own chambers and stopped at a door across from Bilbo's own chambers.

"Thorin?"

"Come."

Thorin pushed the door opened and Bilbo stepped in after him to see it was a smaller chamber than his or Thorin's own chambers. Bilbo looked to Thorin with a frown who smiled lightly at him.

"This was Frerin's chambers when we were younger and before we were forced from Erebor when the dragon came. This is your own chambers Frodo." Thorin said and placed him to his feet.

Bilbo smiled and held Thorin's hand, knowing he missed his brother. Frodo walked around the chamber and smiled at Thorin and ran over, hugging him around his legs. Thorin smiled putting a hand on his back.

"Well get some clothes for you as well and toys." Thorin said. "But now we need to get cleaned up and head down for dinner. I believe the small amount of things of yours Gandalf brought are in your chambers Bilbo."

"Alright. Shall we get cleaned up Frodo and then have something to eat?"

"Yeah."

"Besides the King could do with a bath." Bilbo said with a wink to Frodo who giggled and Thorin let out a stammer at him.

Bilbo laughed and quickly as possible slipped away and into his chambers with Frodo giggling after him. Thorin glared at Dis, Fili and Kili who were laughing at him before turning and stalking into his chambers. Thorin smiled to himself as he headed to the bathing chambers.

~~∞∞Ω∞∞~~

Frodo was clean and sleeping on the bed while Bilbo got cleaned up. Bilbo wanting to talk to Thorin quickly walked out and knocked on Fili's door and heard both brothers stumble the ground before the door opened. Both had their clothes and hair rumpled but Bilbo ignored it.

"Do you mind watching Frodo for me? He's asleep and I want to talk to Thorin."

"Of course."

Bilbo smiled and walked to Thorin's door as Fili and Kili entered his room. Bilbo quietly opened the door and walked in. He heard Thorin cursing in the bath chamber and slowly walked over and saw him wrapping his arm that had been cut during the training session. Bilbo saw some clothes on the ground covered in blood.

"Thorin?" Bilbo said quietly making Thorin jump in surprise.

"Bilbo, I didn't hear you come in."

"I know. Would you like some help?" Bilbo said walking over and taking the bandage wrap without an answer.

Bilbo carefully wrapped Thorin's arm before stepping back. Thorin smiled at him and wrapped his other arm around him and leading him from the bathing chamber and they sat on the bed.

"Is there something you needed?"

"No I was just checking on you. Thorin I know you gave Frodo, Frerin's chambers but if you would prefer to put him in different one than I will speak to him."

"Bilbo let me stop you right there. I would like Frodo in Frerin's old chambers. It will make me happy to see it being used again. I never thought I would have someone or children so I really only expected those chambers and my chambers to be used when Fili and Kili had children. So I am happy to see them used. I'm sure Frodo will look after them and like it.

"Bilbo I never thought I would have someone to share my life with or children of my own. I have my nephews and I think of them as my own. I just never expected to have my own children. Frodo is your nephew and I will not treat him any differently than my nephews or our child." Bilbo smiled and wrapped his arms around Thorin, tears in his eyes. "Bilbo?"

"Thankyou. It means a lot that you would accept him."

"Why wouldn't I?"

"Not many people accept other children in the Shire, if something happens to the child's parent."

"Children are rare for Dwarves, Bilbo. We cherish every child." Bilbo nodded smiling. "No more tears. How are you feeling?"

"My feet are sore but other than that I'm ok."

"Well tomorrow no walking more than necessary. Rest for the day."

"I plan on it."

"How is the little one?" Thorin asked resting his hand on Bilbo's stomach.

"Resting for the last little while, was active till Dis showed up."

"My sister already has that effect on our child. I'm not surprised." Thorin chuckled.

"Thorin! That's not nice." Bilbo laughed.

"It's true though. Come we best head down. Introduce Frodo to the rest of the company."

"I best go wake him."

Thorin stood and helped Bilbo to his feet making him groan in pain, his feet were sore and starting to swell.

"You alright?"

"Yeah they are just sore."

They walked out and met with Dis in the hallway. Dis smiled and then frowned when seeing Bilbo treading carefully.

"You ok Bilbo?" Dis asked concerned.

"Yeah feet are getting sore."

"Both Fili and Kili did the same to me. We best head down to dinner."

Bilbo nodded and walked into his chambers and saw Frodo on Fili's back and Kili tied up in his sheets on the bed. Bilbo was shocked but laughed making their heads snap towards them and Fili gave a small nervous smile while Frodo smiled widely.

"Uncwle Biwbo."

"Frodo Baggins what are you doing to Fili and Kili?" Bilbo chuckled.

"Plawing."

"What exactly are you playing?"

"Frodo told us a game he used to play with Sam so we played it with him."

"We weren't sure how long you would be." Kili said as he finally untangled himself from the sheets that Fili and Frodo had tied him in.

"So you thought you'd destroy Bilbo's bed?" Dis said and her sons looked guilty. "I thought I taught you two better."

Frodo look at Dis and almost started crying. He didn't mean to get the two brothers in trouble.

"It was me. Thewy didn't do it." Frodo said as he started crying. "Pleaswe don't be angrwy at them."

"Dis!" Thorin hissed quietly so Frodo didn't hear.

"Frodo it's ok." Bilbo said. "I don't mind." He said as he sat beside him, wrapping him in his arms. "Dis didn't mean it. They aren't in trouble."

"I didn't mean it Frodo. Not the way it may have sounded to you." Dis said kneeling in front of him and Bilbo. "They aren't really in trouble." Frodo looked at her from Bilbo's arms and then snuck a look at Fili and Kili who were nodding at him. "Now dry those tears." Frodo nodded slightly and hid back in his Uncle's arms.

"Come on Frodo let's go get dinner. These three are slow. Quick before the food is all gone." Kili said, hoping to get him to smile. "Let's go!" Kili said after a quick look to Bilbo to make sure it was alright. "Let's beat them there."

Fili jumped off the bed when he saw Bilbo smile and nudge Frodo slightly. Kili smiled and climbed off and lifted Frodo into his arms and the two brothers raced out of the chambers with a laughing Frodo.

"See you in the dining hall!" Kili yelled at them.

Bilbo saw Thorin sigh and pinch the bridge of his nose as they disappeared, Frodo's laughter fading. Bilbo smiled and winced at a push to his stomach. Bilbo carefully climbed to his feet and groaned feeling the pains move up his feet as Dis quickly stood and steadied him.

"Bilbo?" Dis asked worried.

"I'm ok. Just my feet." Bilbo said as Thorin moved beside him and wrapped an arm around his waist.

"Come on let's go so you can get off your feet for a while."

Bilbo smiled and they headed to the dinning room.

The whole company was there when they found out that Bilbo's nephew had arrived along with Gandalf. Some of the council were there as well. Bilbo sat beside Thorin at the head of the table and Frodo was sitting between Fili and Kili and laughing at Bofur. Bilbo smiled as Fili and Kili helped Frodo fill his plate with food while Thorin helped with his as he couldn't reach.

"Thorin when is Thranduil coming?" Bofur asked making Thorin growl.

"He's coming next week. Some things came up that he had to see to. His son will be in charge while he is here I believe."

"It will be fine Thorin. No more than 3-4months hopefully." Bilbo said patting his arm.

"Why do you say that?"

"I am the size most hobbits are at 8 months. I hope the little one comes soon because I don't want another 6months. I'll never walk. I am hoping it's just 3 months or sooner."

"Well you look lovely." Thorin said with a smile and kissed him gently.

Bilbo smiled and saw Fili and Kili making gagging noises and Frodo copying. They were already corrupting him. Bilbo shook his head when they suddenly stopped and put on smiles seeing they were caught.

Thorin looked to the doors that suddenly opened with a messenger hurrying inside. Thorin sighed and waved him over as he wondered why the poor messenger looked terrified.
