Chapter 32
Call from the Heart

Fili's POV. Its been two months since Bell's and my fight and we had one more month to go before our child was born. The twins wanted to take me out hunting, but I didn't want to leave.

"Go. I'll be fine. You need to get out once in awhile." Bell said as we stood in the courtyard with Arwen and the twins.

"Your close to the due date or getting there. I don't want to be away if you go into labor." I said.

"We'll send a messenger to get you if she does go into labor. I promise. I'll be with her while your gone." Arwen said.

"Go. I'll be fine." Bell said. I sigh and pull her tight against me pressing a kiss to her lips.

"I'll be back as soon as I can." I said.

"Take as long as you want. No rush. Go and enjoy yourself." Bell said. I chuckle and rest a hand on her extended belly.

"Take care of mommy for me and don't kick her to much. Daddy will be back soon." I said. The baby kicked my hand and I smile. I pull Bell tight up against my body and kissed her again.

"I love you." I said, pressing my forehead against hers and she hugged me close one last time.

"I love you too. Now go or you'll never get out of here." Bell said. I chuckle and peck her lips one last time.

Its been a few days since I left Rivendell and the hunting trip has been a success. Deer and rabbits were what we caught, but I wasn't getting much sleep without Bell in my arms. I sigh softly as I sat by the fire, eating my food.

"Your quiet. Been since we left Rivendell." Elladen said.

"What's got you quiet?" Elrohir asked.j

"Just missing Bell and wondering if I'll be a good father. I never had my father around and Thorin was a father figure, but he mainly trained me to be his heir and trained me to fight." I said.

"You'll make a fine father. Your doing well now with talking with your child. You'll be fine. You'll have Bilbo there to help you." Elladen said.

"Besides. You won't be the only one. Bell never had a mother figure so it will be an experience for both of you." Elrohir said. I knew they were right.

"Thank you." I said.

"That's what friends are for." Elladen said. I said goodnight to my friends and head to bed.

I had a dream of Bell standing in front of me in the gardens of Rivendell.

"I need you, Fili." Bell said.

"I'm coming, love." I said. I woke up to find Elladen on watch. I go up to him.

"What is it?" Elladen asked.

"I need to go home. I have this feeling Bell needs me." I said.

"You can go. We are close to Rivendell. Let's wake my brother and we can go." Elladen said. I sighed in relief knowing that they understand. Elrohir woke and we packed our camp and head home to Rivendell. Rivendell was becoming another home. The hatred for elves had been slowing disappearing since our stay here. We arrived and I dropped my stuff off in Bell's and my room and I found Bell was not there. I knew she was probably in the gardens. I head that way and found her sitting on her favorite bench wrapped in a quilt. I come up to her and pulled her up into my arms, surprising her.

"Fili. Your here. I thought you wouldn't be back for a few more days." Bell said, hugging me. I saw bags under her eyes telling me she wasn't getting much sleep like I was without me at her side.

"I had a dream that you needed me and I came as soon as I could. Baby keeping you awake?" I ask.

"He or she has been active for a day now without you. It missed you along with me." Bell said.

"I missed you also. I'm back and I won't leave till our child is born." I said. Bell smiled and I pulled her into a kiss happy to be back at her side.

AN: It was a filler chapter, but I wanted to show them how close their bond is. Next chapter is the birth of their child. Till next time.
