The Miracle of Love
Chapter 9
Author's notes: There is a note at the beginning of the chapter. Please read it.
Hello everyone!
I'm sorry you have to read this long note here but after reading the comments/reviews for the last few chapters (especially the last one) I got the feeling that there are some things I need to explain. Firstly, I'm sorry I don't answer to your comments, but I really don't want to give anything away. This story is just beginning to develop and everything I tell you could be a spoiler. You are all so nice to me and leave comments for me to read and it's hard for me not to answer them but I really, really don't want to give anything away.
A lot of you think that Thorin is s spoiled brat. Here things get a little complicated that's why I was avoiding saying anything. I agree with you whether you say that Thorin is a bully or that he's damaged goods, but I know what's going to happen in the future and I know that Thorin is actually a really nice person, but you are just too impatient to wait and see (not that I blame you) how Thorin will develop.
I agree with you, Bilbo and his family are perfect; sometimes I get the feeling that they are too perfect. For now they are staying that way but I'm not sure what will happen in the future.
And then we have the problem with Thorin and his family. This is a very dysfunctional family and even if only Thráin is sick it's affecting the whole family. This is how I see them and it might take some time before you'll be able to see everyone's real face in the story. Let's start with something easy like Fíli and Kíli. They are two, a little spoiled, teenagers who like to have fun. They are not stupid, they are really smart. If they don't show it it's because we are in chapter 8. They have a good idea what is happening in their family but they don't do anything about it (I'll discuss this later with Thorin). Kíli is very open and he likes Bilbo the moment he steps into their house. They will become great friends and allies. Fíli is a little more reserved when it comes to Bilbo. He is not sure that Bilbo living with them is a good idea but he is willing to accept him especially after Kíli starts dragging Bilbo everywhere with them. He is showing acceptance toward Bilbo and like Kíli he will quickly become one of his best friends.
Then there is Valla. Again, this is how I see her. She knows what her husband is doing, she is aware of everything that is happening but she is too afraid to do anything about it. She loves her children (again, not enough chapters to show it) and she will do anything to protect them. We get to the point where you can ask me why is she accepting Bilbo's baby so easily and there is a perfectly good explanation which you will get in the next few chapters. She is afraid of Thráin like everyone in the family is. She doesn't have the strength or will to fight him. She will do everything to protect her children but she will do it secretly so that she won't upset Thráin.
And now the main reason why I'm writing this, Thorin-Thráin relationship. To say that it's complicated would be an understatement. As I said before in one of the notes, Thráin is sick and he doesn't really know what he's doing. And here comes Thorin into the picture. He is the only person in this family who dares to stand up against him. He hasn't shown it yet, but he will in the future. Please give him some credit. He has just been told that Bilbo is pregnant. I don't know how close you were reading the first chapter but Thorin is looking for a condom and Bilbo stops him. Thorin was sure that the Bilbo took care of protection and don't you think that it's quite a big shock for him when Bilbo shows up pregnant at his doorstep. And that's not all. Non of you even thought about the fact that Thorin was not given the possibility to discuss this baby. Everything was arranged by his father and nobody asked Thorin if he wants the baby. He wasn't really given any choice. He is now forced to live with Bilbo, who is carrying his child which will one day become his brother or sister. I know it's hard to understand but please try to look from Thorin's perspective. In the matter of minutes he gets told that he will become a father and that he will never be able to hold his child like one (We don't know what happened after Thorin showed Bilbo to his room, we don't know when he talked to Thráin, but we know that the next day he was informed of the deal that Bilbo made with his father). It's been two days and he still hasn't come around about the fact that no one asked him anything. He is angry at Bilbo, how could he not be when Bilbo decided to keep the baby a secret. Maybe things would be different if Bilbo said something, but he didn't and now everyone has to deal with the consequences of Bilbo's decision.
One more thing. Some of you said that Thorin is ignorant because he didn't help Bilbo when he fainted and that he was mean to him when they had sex. For the second part I agree, he was a dick no matter how I look at it, but for the first part… Thorin noticed Bilbo faint in the hallway; he did tell him that in the store. It was Bofur who told Bilbo that Thorin walked by without helping him. Are you sure that what Bofur told him was the truth? Because Bilbo fainted and he has no idea what really happened. Bofur is very protective of Bilbo and I'm sure you all noticed that he has strong feelings toward him. Just something to think about.
I'm sorry if some of you feel now that I was trying to prove some kind of point to you after reading this, but this is not personal or aimed at anyone, I was just trying to explain some things. I know I didn't explain everything but I will try to do it in the future. If you have any questions please ask (comments, reviews, anything really…) and I will try to answer them but I can't promise you anything.
Thanks for reading and commenting (even unhappy feedback is welcome).
I hope this didn't put you off from reading the story and I hope to see you at the next chapter.
"You and I go hard, at each other like we going to war..."
Bilbo was really happy that when they got back to the house Thorin was nowhere in sight. His car was parked outside so he was definitely at home, most likely staying in his room. The twins and Bilbo came laughing through the door; they really had a good time together. The house was big, but nonetheless Bilbo quickly smelled something delicious coming from the kitchen and Kíli didn't miss that.
"Hungry?" he asked.
"Starving," answered Bilbo.
"We should go wash up and then go check the kitchen. I have a feeling that lunch will be served soon," said Fíli.
"Served?" asked Bilbo. "You actually have someone who serves you food?"
"Cooks, serves, clean,… Nola is very nice, she helps us with everything and she never tells our parents about the parties. She and the driver are the only two people allowed in this house, dad is a little paranoid," explained Kíli.
"So your mother doesn't cook?" asked Bilbo and the twins burst out laughing.
"No," managed to say Kíli. "She tries though."
"She really does," added Fíli.
"But she shouldn't," said Kíli and the boys started laughing again. "She is trying very hard to give us the 'real home' experience and she tries to prepare a meal for us, but it's never eatable."
"She helps Nola sometimes –" started Fíli but Kíli finished the sentence for him.
"-And when she does that we can eat what she prepares." The boys became serious for a moment. "She really tries you know, but she really isn't the person to work in the kitchen."
"My mother always cooks for our family," proudly explained Bilbo. "She is a really good cook."
Twins smiled. "Let's go wash up and we meet in five minutes in the kitchen."
Bilbo nodded before all three headed upstairs. He was really hungry by now and he couldn't wait for the lunch to be served. He took the picture he promised Kíli from his bag before going downstairs.
Fíli and Kíli were already sitting at the table waiting for him.
"Here," said Bilbo and gave Kíli the ultrasound picture. "I promised you the picture."
Kíli accepted the picture and quickly looked at it. "There isn't much to see," he complained.
"It's a few weeks old. I don't know what you expected."
Kíli smiled before he got up and put the picture on the fridge. "I love it."
"You will have to give it back. I promised my brother that I would return the picture," said Bilbo.
"Why? I like this picture. Besides, you will get another one in a few days. You can give that one to him. How does that sound?" asked Kíli.
Bilbo though about it for a minute. "Fine, you can keep it. Just pray that my brother doesn't kill me." All three started laughing.
Soon Nola came in and brought them lunch. "How are you, boys? Hungry?"
"Starving," said Fíli before accepting the plate from her.
"Good. I made your favorite."
"Thank you."
"Hello," greeted Nola before giving a plate to Bilbo. "I don't believe we have met. I'm Nola, nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too," said Bilbo and shook her hand.
"If you ever need anything, you can find me here or somewhere in the house." Nola smiled before she realized one person was missing. "Where is Thorin?"
"In his room," explained Kíli before placing a kiss to her cheek. "You would do me a great favor if you would take lunch up to his room." Nola eyed him suspiciously. "Please," added Kíli with puppy dog eyes.
"Fine, but only because you asked nicely. You know I don't like taking up the food to his room just because he's too lazy to come down here." She took the plate and left the kitchen.
"Thorin says, thank you," called Fíli after her.
"She is nice," commented Bilbo. "She acts all motherly around you."
"Yes, if we are extra nice to her she makes apple pie for dessert and she always helps us clean the mess after the parties. It's hard not to like her," explained Kíli.
Bilbo smiled before he continued to eat. After lunch the boys went to their rooms to do the homework. Bilbo didn't have a lot to do and he finished early. He didn't know what to do. He usually went to work and then helped prepare dinner, but Thorin made it very clear yesterday that he must come home after school and now Bilbo was bored to death. The only books he took from home were for school and he wasn't in the mood to read those. He lied for a few minutes on the bed before he remembered that he now got a brand new phone which he hasn't actually explored. He got the phone out of the bag and started playing with it.
It didn't take long before there was a knock on his door and Kíli barged into his room. Before Bilbo was able to react Kíli was next to him on the bed. Apparently he finished his homework quickly and he needed some company. Not that Bilbo believed his story, but he didn't want to argue with him. He allowed Kíli to stay with him and Kíli quickly connected Bilbo's phone with Wi-Fi and filled his phone with different games and applications, most of which Bilbo didn't need or know how to use.
:::
Kíli stayed with Bilbo until Fíli came to call them that dinner is ready.
"Just a warning," said Fíli, "Dad is home which means that Thorin will be eating with us and it looks like they were fighting." Bilbo nodded. "Try to ignore them."
Bilbo followed the boys in the dining room without saying a word. Thráin was sitting on one end of the table and Thorin on the other one. It looked like they will jump at each other any moment now. Bilbo took a seat next to Kíli and the dinner was served.
"I saw that you chose the doctor already," started Valla. Bilbo only nodded because his mouth was too full to speak. "I made the call and you can go visit her tomorrow in the afternoon."
Bilbo swallowed. "Thank you."
"Thorin, you are going with him," ordered Thráin leaving no room for argument. "Take the car or whatever you like, just make sure that you are there." Thorin didn't say a thing but the glares that were exchanged between him and his father were deadly. "You will do all the tests that are necessary. I want this child healthy."
"Do you need anyone to go with you?" asked Valla. "I can go or I can call your mother, Bilbo."
"It's fine. I already talked to my parents. They said I can go alone." Valla nodded.
"If you talk to your parents, tell them that you and I will come to visit them in the next couple of days. There is a contract that needs to be signed and also the adoption papers," said Thráin.
"Adoption papers?" asked Kíli. "You won't keep the baby?"
"The child will stay with us," simply answered Thráin. Bilbo didn't even look up from the plate.
"I had a feeling you wanted this baby." Kíli sounded disappointed.
Bilbo didn't have the strength to look up. He knew that everyone was watching him and waiting for him to say anything, but he just couldn't. He felt tears coming down his cheeks and he used a napkin to wipe them away. "I want to keep it," whispered Bilbo, barely holding back his tears. "But I can't."
"Why not?" Kíli wanted to know.
Bilbo felt tears escape his eyes and he didn't try to hide them anymore. "Because I have no choice." Kíli wanted to say something, but Bilbo had enough of everything. "Don't think I want to be here, because I don't! I hate being here! I hate the fact that I won't be able to keep my baby! I hate the fact that this happened because I trusted the wrong person!"
Everyone was quiet after Bilbo's outburst. They kept thinking who the person that betrayed Bilbo was. Was it Thorin or was it someone else? Only Thráin and Bilbo knew the answer to that question.
There was a long uncomfortable silence before Bilbo stood up. "I'm sorry," he said before he left the table and run up to his room.
It didn't take long before he heard the doors of his room open and a few seconds later he felt that someone joined him on the bed.
"I'm sorry," whispered Kíli. "I didn't know you will have to give away your baby."
"It's not your fault," said Bilbo and accepted a handkerchief from Kíli.
Kíli was quiet for a few seconds before he spoke again. "Did my dad force you to do this?"
Bilbo looked him in the eyes. "He didn't force me, I agreed. But he didn't give me any other options."
Kíli pulled Bilbo into a hug. "I'm so sorry. I know how my dad can be." He allowed Bilbo to cry there for a couple of minutes. "Can you tell me what deal you made with him?"
"I give him the baby and he pays for the doctor and for my brother's college."
"You could have asked for more," tried Kíli but Bilbo didn't smile. "Is the doctor really that expensive?"
"Yes," answered Bilbo. "I need Thorin tested so that the baby will be okay because my health is in danger too."
"You could just beat him up and get the blood that way from him," joked Kíli and Bilbo smiled. "When did you even sleep with him?"
"There was a party during vacations."
"You will have to be more specific. We had a lot of parties during vacations."
"The middle of June," answered Bilbo and turned red.
"Why are you so embarrassed about this? I'm a guy you are a guy we talk about things like that." Kíli looked at Bilbo who didn't say anything and avoided eye contact. "No!" exclaimed Kíli with disbelief when he finally understood. "Thorin was your first!"
"Keep it down," shushed Bilbo. "There is no need for everyone to find out."
"Why is it so important who hears this? Everyone does it."
"Have you done it?" carefully asked Bilbo.
"Yes," simply answered Kíli.
Bilbo couldn't believe what he just heard. "When did you do it?"
"Last year. With a girl at a party. It was fun." Kíli smiled at the memory. "How was it with Thorin?"
Bilbo blushed. He really didn't want to answer but Kíli was so open and honest with him so he felt obligated to give him an answer. "Horrible."
"That bad, huh? I always knew that my brother doesn't know what he's doing."
"I think he knew exactly what he was doing," snorted Bilbo.
"That's not what I meant. Of course he knew what he was doing in the bed. What I meant is that he doesn't know what to do after. He was never in a relationship with anyone. A person would really need a lot of patience to date Thorin. He is grumpy and moody all the time and he doesn't know what to do when feelings are involved, he usually freaks out and starts acting like an idiot. I feel bad for the person that Thorin will like. That person will have to go through hell first before Thorin will express his feelings." Kíli smiled. "I just hope that this wonderful person exists."
Bilbo started laughing and Kíli felt a lot better that his friend was in a much better mood. He stayed with Bilbo for another hour before he went back to his bedroom.
:::
The next day passed quickly and it was time for Bilbo and Thorin to visit the doctor. Bilbo assumed that he and Thorin will take the car so he took his time and went down to the kitchen to get something to drink.
"What are you doing?"
Bilbo jumped. He didn't hear Thorin behind him when he was going through the fridge. He closed the door before turning around. "I'm looking for something to drink. I have a feeling that I'll have to pee in a cup again and to do that I need to drink something first," explained Bilbo before he started drinking.
"We should go," ordered Thorin.
"Just a minute, please. I want to finish this." Bilbo emptied the glass before he put it in the sink. "Thank you for the phone." Thorin didn't say a thing. He continued to stare at Bilbo with his arms crossed over his chest.
Bilbo rolled his eyes before he put the juice back in the fridge. There was something different, something was missing. "Hey, where is the picture?"
"In the trash," simply answered Thorin.
Bilbo's eyes grew wide. "Why is in the trash," he asked with disbelief.
"I didn't like it and I threw it away."
"That was my picture!" exclaimed Bilbo. "You had no right to do that!" Bilbo wanted to punch Thorin so hard. "I gave it to Kíli and he put it on the fridge. If you didn't like it you could have just said something!"
"Stop yelling at me," calmly ordered Thorin. "It's my fridge and I didn't want to see it every time I open it to get something to eat." -Stop, just stop. Stop lying to him. You know where the picture is. Just tell him. He'll understand.-
Bilbo stared at Thorin with disbelief. "You are a bully, you know that," accused Bilbo.
Thorin just shook his head and left the kitchen. "Move! I don't have the whole day," he called behind.
Bilbo puffed before he followed Thorin out of the kitchen. There was a car parked outside the house and he assumed that Thorin was already waiting for him there. He got in the car only to realize that he was alone.
The car started moving and Bilbo panicked. "Stop! We should wait for Thorin."
The car didn't stop. "Don't worry Master Baggins, Thorin took his own car." Bilbo let a sigh and he relaxed into the seat. Of course Thorin took his own car. Why in the world would he go with him?
The ride to the doctor wasn't long, but Bilbo had no idea where he was. He was really happy that he didn't have to find the doctor alone.
"I have to get Mr. Durin first," said the driver. "I'll come for you when I'm done. You will probably have to wait a little."
Bilbo nodded. "Thank you."
The moment he stepped out of the car he saw Thorin in the parking lot leaning back on his car with his phone in his hand. He didn't want to call him so he just entered. Luckily for him the waiting room was empty. There were no judging eyes and no dirty looks sent in his direction. He took a seat and waited to be called in. After a few minutes Thorin came in. He didn't sit down; he leaned on the wall and continued to play with his phone.
"You should take a seat, we will have to wait a few minutes," said Bilbo.
"I doubt it," answered Thorin and at that moment the doors opened and the nurse came out.
"Good, you are both here," she smiled and Bilbo like the nurse for a change. "Come with me please."
Bilbo and Thorin followed her in without saying a word.
"Fill this up for me please, while I take your friend's blood." She gave Bilbo a cup and pointed to the bathroom. Thorin sat on the chair and she took a sample of blood from him. "Sit here for a minute," she ordered him. Bilbo returned shortly and put the cup on the tray.
"Please step here so I can measure your weight." Bilbo nodded and stepped on the scale. The nurse smiled and wrote the new weight down in his file. "Good, you are slowly gaining weight." Thorin snorted at that and Bilbo sent him a glare. "I'll check your blood pressure and take a sample of blood and then you can see the doctor."
She worked quickly and Bilbo didn't feel a thing when she took the blood.
"Am I done here," asked visibly impatient Thorin.
"Well yes, but you can-" the nurse didn't finish the sentence because Thorin rushed out without saying a word.
"I'm sorry," apologized Bilbo.
"Don't worry dear. All first time fathers are nervous. He clearly loves you, so he'll come around."
Bilbo wanted to correct her but he decided to bite his tongue. The nurse showed him to the doctor's office where he left him alone for a few minutes before the doctor arrived.
"Hello," said a lovely doctor. Bilbo could see the resemblance with Mr. Elrond. "I'm Arwen."
"Bilbo," he introduced himself and shook her head.
"How are you?"
At least she didn't start with 'how are we' question. "I'm fine."
"No nausea or dizziness?"
"No."
She opened the file and quickly scanned it. "Weight is normal. The sugar level is normal. Blood pressure is a little elevated, but I assume that it's because you are nervous. There is no need to panic, but if the next time you come here the result is the same we will talk about ho to avoid stress."
Bilbo nodded.
"I see here that the previous doctor prescribed you vitamins. Do you take them regularly?"
"Yes, every morning."
"That's good. Don't forget to take them." She continued to read. "It says here that your Rhesus factor is negative. We will check your blood again and when I get the results I will call you. We will check Thorin's blood too and based on the results we will decide if there is any treatment needed. If his Rhesus factor is positive you will get an injection of Anti-D-Immunoglobulin so that you and the baby stay healthy."
"If his factor is negative there is no need to worry?" asked Bilbo for confirmation.
"If it's negative then there will be no complications at all." She typed something into the computer. "Based on the information I have, you had intercourse on the 12th of June, which means that if everything goes according to plan the baby should be born in the second week of March. We'll check later, with the ultrasound how the baby is doing. Have you done one already?"
"Yes, the last visit I had, we did an ultrasound," answered Bilbo.
"Have you signed up for prenatal and birthing classes?"
"No. I won't be keeping the baby."
Arwen noticed Bilbo's sad tone. "Yes I've been informed. Mr. Durin is requesting all your files so that he can he monitor how the baby is doing."
"I know. You can give them to him. There is nothing to hide. It's his baby after all."
Arwen nodded. She understood how hard this was for Bilbo. "Still, you should go to all the classes. They will tell you what you are allowed to eat and what not. They will answer all of your questions regarding birth and the baby. It will be fun. If you don't want to go alone you can go a friend. There are a lot of nice people." Bilbo nodded. "Okay, I'll sign you up for the classes and they will let you know when they are." She quickly wrote something down.
"One more thing and then we can the ultrasound. Do you sleep on your stomach, on your back?"
"Sometimes," answered Bilbo.
"Okay, I'll write a note to Mr. Durin to get you a pregnancy pillow. It will support your back and your belly when it gets bigger. It will help you sleep on the side and prevent you from rolling on your back. It's good for the baby because it will force the baby into the right position later on. Some say that it makes labor less painful. It's very easy to use. You put one end between your legs, the middle supports your belly and the other end supports your back." She smiled at Bilbo's horrified expression. "Don't worry it comes with instruction and you will quickly notice how comfortable is to sleep with it."
Arwen closed the file and stood up. "Let's go have a look at your baby, shall we?"
Bilbo did as he was told and laid on the table and pulled his shirt up.
"It's a nice belly," commented Arewen. "Small, but visible."
Bilbo smiled widely. "I knew it was visible, but everyone said that this is not the belly."
"You should probably show it to a woman. She would tell you that this is not fat, but definitely a belly. Most men don't notice the bump so quickly."
Bilbo started laughing. "You are right."
"It's going to be a little cold," warned Arwen before she put gel on the stomach. She moved the probe on Bilbo's stomach and It didn't take long before they both heard the heartbeat. She turned the screen around so that Bilbo was also able to see. "This is your baby."
Bilbo was once again staring at the screen with his mouth open. This little miracle was growing inside him. "It's bigger than the last time I saw it."
"It's growing really fast now. It's about the right size for fifteen weeks and everything looks normal."
"It's beautiful," said Bilbo but didn't move his eyes from the screen.
"It is. But it will be even better the next time we see each other."
"When will I be able to feel the baby move?" Bilbo asked.
"In a few weeks. It's different for every person, but most of the people describe it as butterflies."
"And the others? When will the others be able to feel it?"
"They will have to wait a little longer," smiled Arwen. "I'll get you the picture. There are some towels so you can clean up."
She returned a couple of minutes later with the picture which Bilbo quickly put in his pocket. He will give it to Frodo, at least he won't throw it in the trash.
"I'll get your blood results in a few days and I will call you. If you will need an injection we will see each other in a week, if not I will schedule an appointment in four weeks time."
"Thank you," smiled Bilbo. For once he was happy with the visit. He left the office and went to the parking lot where the driver left him. The parking lot was empty. He checked his phone. One unread message.
There were some complications. I'll be there in an hour.
Great, thought Bilbo. This message was sent ten minutes ago so if he is lucky he will only have to wait fifty minutes. He didn't know what else to do so he sat down on the sidewalk and waited. This was going to be very long and boring fifty minutes. Before Bilbo was able to finish that thought a car stopped in front of him.
"Get in."
It was Thorin. "I thought you left," said Bilbo.
"Just get in," ordered Thorin.
Bilbo stood up and got into the car. They drove in silence for a couple of minutes. "I thought you left."
Thorin took a deep breath before answering. "I did."
"But you came back for me," smiled Bilbo.
"I didn't," answered Thorin plainly.
"But you just said that-"
"Just stay quiet, okay." Thorin apparently wasn't in the mood for conversation.
"Thank you, for driving me home."
"Don't mention it," cut Thorin.
Bilbo didn't know what to do so he pulled the picture out of his pocket so that he could have a look at it again.
"What do you have there?" asked Thorin.
Bilbo quickly put the picture back into the pocket. "Nothing," he lied.
Thorin just shook his head. He didn't believe him. The whole ride home Bilbo had a feeling that Thorin wanted to talk to him, to say something to him. Thorin opened his mouth a few times like he was about to say something but not a word came out. By the time they got back to the house Bilbo was really annoyed by Thorin's behavior. Thorin parked the car in the garage and the headed upstairs.
"Thank you," called Bilbo, but once again Thorin pretended that he didn't hear him. Bilbo had enough of Thorin acting like a child. He ran after him and stopped him. "Hey, what's your problem?"
"What's yours?!" asked Thorin.
"I don't have a problem. You are the one who is acting like a child!" Bilbo yelled.
Thorin took him by the hand and led him in the first guest room that they passed by. "Get in," he ordered. Thorin didn't give Bilbo any room to argue but he wasn't mean to him either. He closed the door behind them. There was no need for the entire house to listen to their conversation.
"I am acting like a child!?" question Thorin with disbelief.
"Is it really so hard to be nice to me for just one minute?!"
Thorin growled. "Can't you stay quiet for a minute?!"
"Why should I? So that you can tell me what to do? No thanks. Once was quite enough and I'm the one dealing with the consequences!"
"Oh, so you are blaming me! Let me tell you this, you were more than willing to participate and you didn't protest when you followed me into the room!"
"Of course I didn't. I was drunk!"
"Don't pretend you didn't know what you were doing!"
"Don't blame me! Was it so hard to put on a condom?"
"You said you were safe. I assumed you took care of it."
"I felt safe with you. I trusted you. I didn't say anything about protection."
"Do me a favor, will you. Next time when you have sex with someone, tell that person not to listen to you and use a condom!"
"Trust me, I will. No one could be worse than you!"
"You should try having sex with yourself. Then you'll know how horrible it can be!"
Bilbo puffed before storming out of the room, Thorin followed close behind. The moment Bilbo opened the door Fíli and Kíli jumped away. It was clear that they were eavesdropping, but they still pretended that it was a coincidence that they were standing there the whole time.
Bilbo and Thorin glared at them for a second before storming each in one direction.
"Insufferable dwarves!"
"Stubborn hobbits!"
Fíli and Kíli stayed there for a minute, processing everything they just heard. There was definitely something between them but only time will tell.
Author's notes:
I'm sorry about the long note, but I really wanted for you to read it.
I hope you liked this chapter. It was really fun to write.
Thorin and Bilbo had their first fight (first of many). If Thorin is relatively nice in this chapter he won't stay that for long because they haven't discussed everything. There are some things that Thorin lied about, but you will have to wait to find out what really happened.
I really hope you don't hate me now and I hope to see you at the next chapter.
