Chapter 33

A New Begining and Reunion

Bell's POV. I was near my due date and the elves had me on constant supervision. It was mainly Fili and Arwen that kept a close eye on me. I refused anyone else to babysit me.

I let out a sigh as I sat on the couch like bed with a book in my lap.

"How's my girl doing?" Fili asked, coming into the room.

"Ready to have this baby out of me." I said, rubbing my stomach. Fili chuckled and came over to kiss me. I melted into the kiss and pulled him down beside me. He pulled me against him.

"Soon, my love. We will ge.t to meet our child. Come, the elves have dinner ready for us." Fili said, kissing my forehead. Fili helped me stand up and we walked to a private balcony where a table was set with food and drinks. I sit down and Fili sits in front of me. We are in silence enjoying the sunset and each other's Company. Fili stood up and came up to me.

"What is it?" I ask.

"Dance with me." Fili said, pulling me to my feet. I smiled and let him pull me against him. We danced around. A sharp pain came from my belly and I hunched over clutching my stomach. "Bell?" The pain wasn't going away and I knew it was time.

"The baby. It's comig." I said. Fili's eyes widen.

Fili's POV. I ran with Bell towards the infermery. Two elves were waiting. One took Bell from me. I go to enter but the other elf stopped me.

"The father can't be in the birthing room with the mother. Wait out here." The elf said.

"She needs me." I said. Arwen and the twins arrived.

"I'm sorry Fili it's our rules. I'll go in and be with her." Arwen said.

"Thank you." Fili said. Arwen smiled and hurried into the infirmary. I sat down and put my face in my hands. I was worried and upset I couldn't be there for her.

"She'll be fine. Father will be there." Elladen said.

"I hope your right. I don't want to loose them." I said.

"They are in good hands." Ellrohir said. I knew they were right. I closed my eyes and tried to relax.

Bell's POV. I hated that Fili couldn't be in the room with me. The pain was unbearable. I was happy that Arwen was in the room with me.

"Your doing fine, Bell." Arwen said.

"It feels like every bone in my body is breaking." I said as Elrond examined me.

"It's child birth. It's normal." Arwen said. I saw Elrond pale.

"What is it?" I ask.

"The baby is breached." Elrond said. I paled. I heard about breached babies. It was deadly for both mother and baby. "Bell. Calm down. I can turn the baby around." I sigh in relief as I flinch in pain as Elrond got to work.

"You will get to hold your child. We promise." Arwen said, squeezing my hand. I close my eyes and tried to relax. I felt the baby starting to turn.

"The baby is in the right position. Your going to push now, Bell." Elrond said. I pushed and pushed. "Your doing well, Bell. I see the head. One last push and the baby should be out." I let out a cry as I pushed as hard as I could. I felt the baby slide out of me and a cry filled the room.

Fili's POV. I heard a babies cry as I sat waiting. I stood up as the door opened and Arwen came out a baby wrapped up in a blanket.

"You have a daughter." Arwen said. I was shocked. It's rare for girls especially to be born first. A princess for the Lineof Durin. Mother was the first in centuries and now my daughter. Arwen set her in my arms. She was beautiful. I saw golden fuz on top of her head.

"Hello, beautiful." I said, touching her. Her eyes opened and I saw she inherited her mothers eyes. She reached her hand out and grabbed my finger. I smiled. "How's Bell?" I look at Arwen.

"She's tired but she is fine." Arwen said. I hurry in the room to see her popped up against the pillows. A smile formed on her lips as I come up to her.

Bell's POV. Fili sat on the bed with our daughter in his arms. I lean my head on his shoulder.

"Mahal has blessed us with a daughter." Fili said

"He has." I said. Fili pressed a kiss to my lips.

"Thank you. You made me the happiest dwarf in Middle Earth. Thank you." Fili said. Arwen came into the room

"But I will outlive you both.

"You won't. Valar and Mahal has bonded you to Fili. So you live as long as he does and die when he does." Arwen said. Fili and I smile at each other. We both didn't have to suffer heartbreak. "You have a visitor." I look up and saw Bilbo enter.

"Father." I said. He comes up to us and smiles at the bundle of joy in Fili's arms.

"I come back and find that my grandchild is already born?" Bilbo asked.

"Meet your granddaughter, Elli." Fili said, setting her in Bilbo's arms. Bilbo smiled.

"Beautiful name for a beautiful girl. Congratulations to you both." Bilbo said.

"How did the battle go?" I ask.

"We won and everyone survived. Thorin is back to his old self and made treaty with the Mirkwood Elves and help Dale and Laketown be rebuilt. Everyone thinks your dead or taken by the enemy. They are worried about you but it's your decision to go back." Bilbo said. I saw Fili relax to find out that his uncle and brother survived the war. He looked at me and I nodded. I knew what he wanted.

"I want to live in the Shire for now. I am not ready to go back not after what my uncle did. Not yet. I'll go when I'm ready." Fili said. Bilbo nodded as Elli started to fuss to be fed. Arwen shooed everyone away for privacy except for Fili. I took Elli in my arms and opened my nightgown for her and put her to my blossom for food. Fili sat behind me and I leaned against him as Elli drank from me.

"I love you both, my girls." Fili said kissing my forehead.

"We love you too." I said, turning my head and we kissed. Elli finished and I burped her. Fili took her and put her in the cradle that was beside our bed. He got back in bed and pulled me close to his chest. I fell asleep to him humming a tune.
