Chapter 4

Okay, Okay... I'm sorry that I didn't update on Wednesday, but I was in the hospital. Yeah, that is right hospital. I am having surgery on the 31st of May, reconstruction of my knee.

URGH (disclaimer): I don't own the story or the characters except, Caitlin, Ebba and Ella.

Ebba and Ella laughed as they walked beside each other in the giant field of nothingness out side of Rivendale. They were heading to the Misty Mountains and Ella was not looking forward to what was coming next. Fili was walking behind Ebba trying to trip her up every few seconds, which he was failing at. Kili was chatting to Ella about his home, and telling her his story since he had heard hers. Caitlin was up the front with her new 'boyfriend' who was currently holding her hand and talking to her about the wonders in Erebor. Suddenly, Fili managed to trip Ebba and she fell... into Fili's awaiting arms. She stared up and smiled at him before he let her up. He had the bluest eyes she had ever seen. Fili kept one arm around Ebba for the rest of the day.

"I'm worried about Caitlin, Ebba,"Ella admitted when they were sitting together away from the group. They were studying Caitlin and Thorin's every move.

"We'll ask her if she's got her period. Honestly, I think that she is too caught up in her romance to remember contraception,"Ebba exclaimed. She was cut off by Fili approaching her, she smiled warmly up at him.

"Hey Fee, what's up?"Ebba asked him as he sat down next to her.

"Thorin and Caitlin are being nauseating. They just keep staring dreamily into each others eyes. My uncle, was never soft and cuddly, but with Caitlin he is just that,"Fili complained. Ebba laughed at Fili, her fingers playing with his hair. Ebba loved his hair, it was soft and thick, she hated her hair because it didn't make up its mind. It was straight on top and curly underneath. So she kept it short, but it was already brushing her shoulders.

"Well, maybe he needs to show affection. I will go and say something to disturb them. Watch and learn,"Ebba smiled evilly as Fili chuckled at her antics.

Ebba walked over to Caitlin and Thorin slowly, confidence projecting from her. Ella saw where eyes were and nodded with a mischievous smile.

"Hey, Caitlin we need to talk 'bout the painters in your house,"Ebba stated looking pointedly at her. Caitlin's face went white but, hid her discomfort as she stood up and walked with Ebba over to Ella and together they went into the woods.

"Don't go too far, guys,"Kili warned as they walked out of camp.

****************** starssss ****************

"Caitlin, dear, dear, Caitlin... WHAT THE FUCK? YOU HONESTLY DIDN'T REMEMBER?"Ella looked half mad as she shook her head in disappointment.

"It was in the moment. I-I d-didn't t-t-think of th-"Caitlin began.

"NO SHIT YOU DIDN'T THINK! I MEAN YOU ARE ENDANGERING A LITTLE BABIES LIFE! WHY DIDN'T YOU GET A CONDOM OUT OF YOUR BAG?!" Ebba scolded eyes burning with anger.

"It's not your problem though! It's mine and Thorin's!"Caitlin exclaimed.

"WELL MAYBE IF YOU KEPT YOUR BODY TO YOURSELF FOR ONCE-"Ebba shouted and was cut off as Caitlin slapped her across the face. Ella pushed Caitlin back.

"WHAT THE HELL, CAITLIN SHE'S RIGHT! We were drawn to Kee and Fee like you were to Thorin, and yes we are happy for you, but we haven't slept with them yet! You need to check yourself!"Ella screamed her face fill with betrayal. Ebba had her hands on her cheek and was crying, while Caitlin looked down at the ground.

"Look guys,"Ebba began, "We need to stop fighting now, we need to figure things out. Caitlin I have a pregnancy test in my bag, because I am ALWAYS prepared. I'll go get it and we can do it now. Okay? No hard feelings, I was kinda egging you on..."Ebba admitted. Ebba walked back to camp and got the pregnancy test without anyone noticing, and slipped it into the pocket of her jersey. On the way out of camp Fili grabbed her hand as she walked by and squeezed it. She smiled at him and he went back to conversing with his uncle and brother.

"Okay, I got the test,"Ebba said as she pulled it out of her jersey pocket. Ebba gave it to Caitlin with a hesitant smile. Caitlin looked at it nervously and went into the bushes. She emerged a minute later holding the little stick.

"Pssshhh... what took you so long?"Ella giggled as Ebba smirked. Caitlin chuckled at them. They were like sisters. They read each other's minds. They stood in silence for three minutes watching the sun go down over the mountains.

"Caitlin, it's time to check it,"Ebba told her. They all held hands and Caitlin reached for the little stick on top of the log.

And there in the forest of Middle Earth, near the Misty Mountains, were three eighteen year old girls, looking at a pregnancy test that would determine if Caitlin was pregnant with the King Under the Mountains baby. All the three girls saw was a big, fat plus sign. Caitlin crouched down and started crying. Ebba looked at Ella with wide eyes.

"Alright, so now we need to figure out how to tell, Thorin. Fuck... Caitlin how do you think he will take it?"Ebba asked wringing her wrists.

"Well, we have only known each other for ten days..."Caitlin blubbered.

"Yes... I see your problem. Gods what are we going to do?"Ella wailed.

"Okay, its need to know. Which means family. So you tell Thorin, we pretend we don't know anything, and when he decides to announce it we act as if we didn't know. Okay? Okay, Lets go back,"Ebba made to go back but Ella held her back.

"Caitlin, it's better to tell him sooner rather than later, then we can see if there is anything we need to know about Dwarf customs,"Ella stoked Caitlins hair.

"Yeah, yeah okay,"Caitlin nodded and got off the ground.

As they were walking back to camp, Ebba decided to lighten the mood.

"Well, look on the bright side Caits, now you get to boss Thorin around all day every day!" Ebba chuckled, as Caitlin smiled and Ella giggled.

"Okay, buddy go and pull Thorin to the side and tell him,"Ebba instructed, Caitlin did as she was told.

"Hey, Ella,"

"Yes, Ebba?"

"Thorin's gonna make Caitlin fat."Ebba stated.

"Yes, Ebba, yes he will,"Ella shook her head as they went over to their boys.

************ TRUTH TELLING TIME ************

"Thorin, I have something to tell you,"Caitlin told Thorin as he held her near the edge of the camp.

"What is it, my gem?"Thorin asked, his lips stretching into a smile.

"Thorin, I'm pregnant..." Caitlin told him looking up into the eyes of the King Under the Mountain.

Cliffhanger!
