Chapter Nine

I am so sorry about the long wait. It's been very hectic lately, and I know this chapter is very short but I'm working on school right now plus I have no idea where I'm going with this story. I also have others that I'm working on plus I'm writing a book so yeah. I'll try to update sooner I promise. Thank you again to all my followers and people putting up with the long waits.

Dwalin blushes a little and coughs. "O-Ori!? A-are you feeling better?" Dwalin asks, obviously trying to change the subject. "I-I'm fine," I say, staring at my feet. "I'll give you two a minute, and then we head out," Thorin says, and walks away. I look at Dwalin, and he grabs my hands gently. "Let's go somewhere more private," he says, and we walk away from everyone. I see Bilbo smiles a little, and I smile back. When we get away from everyone, Dwalin hugs me. I blush a little, and hug him back. "Dwalin?" I ask, and he kisses my head.

"This isn't how I wanted to ask you, but I may never get the chance again," I say, and he looks at me shyly. I take a deep breath, and he puts his hand on my cheek. I smile, and put my hand over his, and kiss his palm. "When we defeat the Dragon, and take back out mountain. Will you marry me?" I ask, and he looks so happy. "Yes! I-I'd love to marry you Dwalin!" Ori says, and I pull him into a kiss. He squeaks, and then kisses back. "That's so cute!" we hear from behind us. We break apart, and see Kili and Fili. I glare at them, and they slowly back away.

We hear yelling, and then see the boys run past us. Dwalin run's by, chasing them with his hammer. I laugh, and Bilbo frowns at me. "That wasn't nice Thorin! You knew this would happen, didn't you" Bilbo says, glaring. I flinch, and nod. "Go make sure Dwalin hasn't hurt them, and then you are to apologize," he says, and I nod. Bilbo is very scary when he wants to be. "Yes love," I say, and rush off to where Dwalin is. I get there just in time to stop him from smacking Kili. "Dwalin! That's enough. The boys were only following my orders, please do not hurt my nephews," I say, and he stops. He glares at me, and then storms off.

I see Dwalin return, and he walks over to me. He grabs me, and pulls me into a hug. I blush, but hug him back. "Those boys will drive me into insanity," he says, and I laugh. "They mean well, and besides Bilbo won't let them do anything to horrible," I say, and he nods. We look over to see Bilbo glaring at Thorin, and giving him a talking to. We laugh a little. It's nice feeling at peace, even if it's for a little bit.
