Kili and Kaléa just had a visit from Oin and were super happy. „It seems like I conceived on our first night.", Kaléa said beaming.
„It was an amazing night. To think that our child was created then is a wonderful thing.", he rubbed her stomach.
„Yea, it is. What a story to tell, huh? Altough, I doubt that our kid wants to hear about his parents being intimate.", she laughed.
„His? Why do you think it is a boy?", the archer asked and laid his head on her lap.
„Motherly instincs."
„I always wanted a daughter."
„And I a son."
„Well, we still could get both what we want, right?", he winked.
„Sure, but let me first carry and pop up the first one out.", she responded amused.
„I want like a own little company of children."
„Easy! Don't get ahead of yourself.", she held up her hands up stunned.
„Do you think she can hear us?"
„I doubt HE can, but who knows?", she answered with a smirk.
„Hey there, little one. I'm your adad. I can`t wait to meet you. I'm gonna love and protect you untill my very last breath. So will your amad. She is the most amazing women. No one will dare to be rude to you out of fear of your mother.", Kili spoke with the baby in the stomach.
„Damn right. No one fucks with my family!", she nodded yawning closing her eyes.
„Oy, amrâlimê! No swearing around the child!", he scolded firmly.
„Sorry, I try to get better. Poor Dwalin, if we can't swear he would lose half of his vocabulary.", she joked.
„True. Our children will the best archers in all of Middle Earth. Even better then us, which is almost impossible."
A knock interrupted their family moment. „It's open!", Kaléa called. Thorin, Bilbo, Balin and Fili came in, smiling like idiots. „Creepy.", the female whispered.
„What?", Kili wondered and sat up.
„Seeing Thorin smile that much. I'm unaccustomed to it." All except Thorin laughed.
„Very funny, Kaléa.", Thorin commented dryly.
„So, how is the royal couple doing?", she wiggled her eyebrows.
„Good, good. But that's not why we are here.", Bilbo answered blushing and the pregnant women giggled.
„Are we in trouble?", Kili asked nervously.
„Aren't you always, love?"
„Kind of. But we also have some good news.", Balin replied.
„Okay bad news first, please.", Kaléa sighed.
„Well, you are aware that you are pregnant, right?", Thorin started awkwardly.
The couple looked at ech other with mock shock. „I am?, she exclaimed playfully.
„Uncle, why didn't you tell us sooner?", Kili played along.
„Who is the father?", the dunedain shrieked.
„Alright, I go it.", Thorin stopped them annoyed and Bilbo rolled his eyes.
„And you aren't married yet.", Balin continued.
„Guys, you have spend too much time with Gandalf. Stop talking in riddles.", Kaléa shook her head tiredly.
„Well, it's tradition to wait untill the wedding to... share bodies.", Thorin coughed uncomfortably.
„It's an old tradition that the younger generation doesn't practice anymore.", Balin explained further.
„But still, you are gonna have a child without being married. That's considered... scandalous amongs dwarves.", Thorin said.
„So what now?", the couple asked worried.
„We planned the wedding once the dwarves from the Blue Mountains, after you met amad.", Fili chimed in.
„But under the circumstances...", Bilbo trailed off.
„I won't merry Léa without amad with us!", Kili protested stubbornly.
„You won't have to."; Fili calmed him down.
„We came to a solution. We can merry you in the next days. Formally. And then celebrate the ceremonie once Dis has arrived. You just have to sign a contract by witnesses. Only Balin, me and the couples head family member has to be there.", Thorin told.
„That's sounds reasonable.", Kili complied.
„But I'm an orphan.", Kaléa interjected.
„Not quite, iaell.", an other voice said and lord Elrond came into the room.
„ADA!" Kaléa jumped up und hugged the elf.
„Lord Elrond is your father and he will be there to sign the contract, agreeing for you to join the clan and gave you to Kili.", Thorin smiled.
„You saw it, didn't you?", she asked her adoptiv father with a raised eyebrow.
„I have, and I want just the best for you and my grandchild.", he confirmed.
„Oh, amrâlimê! You gonna be my wife!", Kili ran up to kiss her excited.
Kili and Kaléa went to the meetingroom. „You look nervous.", Kili observed.
„More like anxious to finally be yours. Officially I mean."
„Same here, beautiful.", he opened and let her in first.
„Ah, there you finally here.", Thorin greeted them happily. Bilbo and Balin sat beside him. Fili and Elrond stood on either side of of the king.
„Wouldn't miss my own marrige confirmation.", Kili joked.
„Alright, lord Elrond. Please sign up here if you agree to give your daughter to the prince.", Balin addressed the elf and gave him the contract.
The elf looked up to his daughter and sah her smiling encouraging. „Is that what you want, iaell?", he asked.
„Absolutely, ada. I love him, he is my One. My child's father."
The elf smiled and signed the contract. „Treat her well, young men.", he warned softly.
„Always.", Kili replied and took his beloved hand squeesing it.
„Wonderful, Thorin has already signed it. Now only yours remain.", Balin waved the couple over.
„There it comes.", Kili laughed nervously.
„It's getting serious.", Kaléa had butterflies.
„Getting cold feet?", Fili teased.
„NEVER!", the couple promptly replied. And signed the marrige contract with their best writingskill.
„There you go. You are now officially husband and wife.", Balin announced approvingly.
„Welcome to the family, sister", Fili took her and his brother in a bear hug.
„I can't wait for the actual ceremonie, it will be grand.", Bilbo beamed.
„The wedding of the centuary.", Thorin agreed and kissed the hobbit's temple.
„Should you not kiss you wife, honey?", Kaléa addressed her husband smugly.
„Or I plan do to way more then just kiss you. Later.", he replied husky and kissen der with so much hunger it that the female couldn't help herself but moan and wrap her arms around his neck to deepen it.
„Alright, move this to your room. Don't need to see that.", Bilbo interjected flushed and looked away with red eartips.
„Let them have it.", Thorin dismissed.
„No he's right, no audience needed.", Kaléa chuckled.
„But first I like to talk with you, one on one.", Elrond chimed in.
„Sure."
„What did you wanna talk about me, ada?", Kaléa asked Elrond while they wandered through the library.
„We need to talk about your child, Kaléa."
„Is something wrong with it?", she asked worried.
„No, but I could see that it will have just as a huge impact on the history of Middle Earth. She will have the gift of forsight."
Her eyes widened surprised. „But it will be an half human half dwarf hybrid. There is no elven blood in either me or Kili. Right?"
„It has more to do with the magic that brought you here. Once it out of age it shall take your role as a protector over. And you need to let it go, as hard as it is. I know how hard it can be to let your children go, but this child might save us all one day. You know what I'm talking about."
She nodded but teared up by the idea that her baby will walk up to a war. „Ada, tell me one thing. Just this one. Will it survive?", she asked swollowing.
The elf put his hand under her chin raising it up so she would look in his eyes. „I wish I knew it. But the future of this little angel is not yet written.", he answered with sorrow and wiped her tears away.
Kaléa and Kili laid sweaty and exhausted but also satisfied in bed, cuddling. „Kili?"
„Mmhm...?", he murmured sleepily.
„I would like to name our child after your deceased uncle."
He opened his eyes and looked down at her. „Frerin?"
„Yes, Thorin told me a bit about him. I want to name our child after someone they can relate to and look up to.", she explained herself nervously.
The archer smiled. „Thorin and amad gonna love it. But what if it's a girl?" He nuzzled into her hair.
„How about Kali? You know, Kaléa and Kili?", she suggested.
„I love it. I was thinking abut Lili, but that's better.", he kissed her head lovingly.
„Perfect. You know, I never thought I would ever fall in love, marry and become a mother. Things turned completely differend then I expected.", she mused and sat up on her husbands hips.
„To the better I hope?" Kili masseged her thigh.
„Definatly. I can't remember when I had been happier. I guess I never was to be honest. I was content with my life, mostly. But this, I never thought I would be capable to such a normal live, after all I'm anything but normal.", she rambled.
„Normal is boring, and don't worry you life won't ever be normal."
„Of course, I'm married to a manchild of a dwarf that resembles an overexcited puppy." He slapped her naked ass for that and she yelped
„Minx", he growled half heartily. „And you remind me of an raging bull sometimes. Espacially in the fight against Azog. It was damn sexy."
„I love watching you in battle mode too, believe me. It took me a lot of effort to not to jump your bones right then and there.", she whispered and leaned down.
„Well, good to know. Now come here before I lose my mind.", he closed the distence between their lips.
„Mahal be blessed for dwarven stamina.", and returned the kiss being flipped over on her back.
Almost seven months later the dwarves of the Blue Mountains arrived. Bilbo was still in Erebor, he said he wants to be here for the wedding and birth of the child before he returns to the Shire.
„Welcome back home in the halls of Erebor, my friends.", Thorin greeted them.
„It has been way too long, brother.", a voice said and a beautiful darkhaired dworrowdam and hugged the king.
„Dis. I missed you. May i introduce you to Bilbo Baggins our master burglar and my One."
The hobbit smiled awkwardly and shifted nervously on his feet. „A pleasure, my lady.", he bowed respecfuly.
„A hobbit? I knew you were weird, Thorin.", Dis laughed amused and shook Bilbo's hand. „Nice to meet you, master Baggins."
„Thanks, sister.", Thorin rolled his eyes.
„Where are my sons?"
„AMAD!", two male voices called excited.
„Speaking of the devil.", Bilbo mused.
The princes ran up to their mother and hugged her thightly. „Ah, my boys.", she sighed relieved.
„So good to see you again, amad.", Fili said beaming.
„See, we kept our promises.", Kili grinned and his mother slapped him on his head. „Au!", he rubbed his head scowling.
„Don't get smart with me, Kili.", she scolded. „But I'm glad you are all alive and well. I assume I have to thank you for that?", she turned to Bilbo. „Those idiots after all can't barely keep themselves out of trouble."
„Must be a Durin thing.", another female voice joked and Kaléa stepped beside her husband.
„Actualy, you have to thank Kaléa here.", Thorin smiled prouldy up to his niece.
„Indeed?", Dis asked sketpicaly and eyed the young female criticaly.
„If it weren't for Léa Kili and I wouldn't be here, amad.", Fili stepped in.
„I don't ever let my friends down.", Kaléa stated.
The dworrow relaxed and let her defensive stance down. „Then I am truly greatful to you and owe you something, miss Kaléa."
„No you don't. I did it just as much for selfish reasons.", Kaléa waved off.
Then Dis forrowed his eyebrows. „Is this a courting bead? Thorin? Isn't that the bead father gave you? I thought the hobbit is your One! And she is pregnant!", she exclaimed.
Thorin held up his hands up in surrender. „I didn't plait it there, and surely didn't knocked her off."
„I did.", Kili chimed in nervously.
She looked between at Kaléa and Kili back and forth. „You were always a strange one. Curious about the world and different races. But getting her pregnant?", she shook her head.
„I didn't plan to! Not that I am not happy about it! It's just...", he stuttered untill his wife put her hand on his mouth.
„You are true poet, darling. But just let leave it at that, untill you ruin this."
„He has a tendacy to to that, doesn't he?", Dis mused.
„You aren't mad?", Kaléa asked surprised.
„Of course not, I'm just disappointed that I wasn't on your wedding and see the belly grow.", she smiled warmly.
„You didn't missed much. It was just formally. We'll have the ceremonie once the baby is there.", Thorin told her.
„Yeah, and be thankful you were here for Léa's moodswings.", Fili laughed and Kaléa kicked his shins.
„Well, I will plan everything. Your wedding will be wonderful. And now, let's have something to eat, I'm starving and you can tell me everything.", Dis suggested.
„Oh yeah, I'm hungry too.", Kaléa approved enthusiastically.
„Your always hungry.", Bilbo teased.
„Priceless coming from you. I'm eating for two, what's your excuse?"
„I'm a hobbit."
The meeting was going on and the princes were bored out of their mind. The door opened and Bilbo ran in breathing heavingly. „Ghivashel, what's wrong?", Thorin asked him worried.
„The baby is coming!", he shouted.
Immediatly Kili jumped up. „LÈA!", he exclaimed and ran out.
„Well, I guess the meeting is cancelled for today?", Dain mused.
„Yeah, you are all dismissed.", Thorin comfirmed and he ran after the panicking father together with Bilbo, Fili and Balin.
„Amrâlimê!", Kili stormed in the chamber and sat beside his wife on the bed.
„You are here!", she breathed tiredly. Dis on her other side and Oin attending to her.
„She is doing wonderful, just a few more pushes, darling.", Dis commented and petted her daughters hand.
„Are you in lot of pain...", Kili asked and as if called a contraction hit her and Kaléa pushed with a cry. „Nevermind.", he deapanned.
„Very good, lass. Keep pushing.", Oin ordered.
Dwalin was guarding the door to Kili's and Kaléa's chamber. „Dwalin, how it is it going?", Fili asked as they arrived.
And they heard the female scream. And they all looked horrfied at the door. „Does this answer ye question`", Dwamlin replied dryly.
„How long has this been going on?", Thorin asked.
„About fifteen minutes or so?"
„Her water broke half an hour ago and the pain stated twenty minutes ago.", Bilbo informed.
Another scream. „Damn, that must really hurt. Poor Léa. I don't envy her. Or Kili in this matter.", Fili rubbed his neck.
„Yeah, the poor lad. Women can get really pissed while giving birth.", Balin said.
„Fucking hell!", Kaléa swore and leaned back sweating.
„Language.", Kili chided softly.
„Bite me, asshole! It's your damn fault I'm in that state right now.", she yelled irritated.
Dis and Oin chuckled. „You seduced me, little vixen.", he replied eye rolling.
„Excuse fucking you? Well, now you can wink it yourself, you dumbass." Another contraction.
„PUSH!", the other three said at the same time.
„I DOAAAAAHHHHH..."
A minute later another scream accured but not Kaléa's, but the babys. The exhausted mother leaned against her husband and cried tears of joy. „It's a healthy girl.", Oin announced and wrapped the child in a soft blanket.
„I told you, sweetie.", Kili whispered to his wife. And Oin laid Kali in his arms. „Hello, little flower. It's me. We are your partents.", he cooed and kissed his daughter's head and gave the baby to the mother.
„She is so perfect.", she commented quietly. Holding the little hand between index finger and thumb.
„That she is. My little princess.", Dis spoke softly to her gradchild.
„Is the baby there? I think I heard...", Dwalin busted in with the others.
Kaléa and Kili laughed while Dis and Oin shooked their heads. „Guys, meet my daughter. Kali, daughter of Kili.", Kaléa introduced and the men stepped closer to have a better look at the baby.
„She is so cute.", Bilbo smiled.
„She has Kili's eyes.", Fili observed.
Kali started to fuss an squeek in her mothers arms. „May I?", Fili asked hopeful and the dunedain nodded and gave him the baby. He rocked her little. „Shhh... is alright, darling. Your save with me. Look!" Ha made funny faces at her and she calmed down looking at him fascinated what made the blonde smile proudly.
Thorin stood beside him and carressed her chubby cheek. „You never forget feeling, believe me.", he told his nephew.
The young parents looked at each other and kissed softly. „Wanna rest, love?", Kili asked.
„I'm weared out, but seeing this is just to beautiful to miss."
„There will a lot of this moments yet.", he promised and laid his head on top of hers watching his daughter while she tired to grasp one of his mustache braids.
„Still, this is the very first. Let me enjoy it untill I need to feed her. She should get hungry soon enough.", she yawned.
Kaléa was woken by a a beautiful sound.
For one so small,
you seem so strong.
My arms will hold you,
keep you safe and warm.
This bond between us,
can't be broken.
I will be here,
don't you cry.
Kili sang the song she always sang during her pregnancy as a lullaby. She smiled touched at her two biggest loves and joined in the song.
'Cause you'Ll be in my heart,
yes, you'll be in my heart.
Kili whirled around in surprise but then grinned from ear to ear and sang along with his wife,
From this day on,
now and forever more.
You'll be in my heart,
no matter what they say.
You'll be in my heart,
always.
Kili climed on the bed and laid his sleeping daughter on his chest. Kaléa rubbed her back soothingly. „Sorry, I woke you.", he whispered.
„You didn't. And even if, I'm glad to witnessed this."
„It seems still so unreal doesn't it?"
„Yeah, it does. The others don't seem to realise it either."
„I seriously thought Dwalin would never give her back to me. He is possessove over her.", Kili chuckled.
„She has a lot of uncles to protect her.", she mused closing her eyes.
„Yeah, espacially from admirers. Poor Kali."
„Men lananubukhs menu, âzyungel.", Kaléa murmured half asleep.
„And I you, amadel. (mothers of all mothers) And you too, muhudel. (blessing of blessings)" He kissed both his wifes and daughters head and driffted off to sleep as well.
