Chapter 5

(A/N: Sorry it took so long. I was really struggling with the end of the date. I'm not good at endings.

I know Thorin seems to smile a lot in this fic but that is just because I imagine when they want to be, all the Durin's are very skilled charmers. and because Thorin loves kids, (*coughandBillacough* what?))

Billa blushed and stammered for a bit while Thorin was laughing.

"So I'll take that a yes?" He said with a smirk.

Billa had calmed her self enough to reply even if her face was still pink with blush. "I think I have to say no because of how cocky you are."

"That's unfortunate; I thought you wanted to hear me sing."

"We'll see how the rest of this dinner goes."

The food came soon after that.

The rest of the night was pleasant. Billa even agreed to share a dessert with Thorin when she realized she would never finish the small chocolate lava cake alone. (The food was really filling and there was no need to let it go to waste. Or at least that's what she told her self.)

"You've got something here." Thorin tapped his cheek, Billa was confused.

"What?"

"Here," He reached across the table and wiped the chocolate from her check with his thumb. Billa blushed.

"I am not a child." She said indigently, "I could have gotten it myself."

"I know." He said as he licked the chocolate off his thumb.

Afterwards Thorin walked her to her car in the hotel's garage. She needed to pick up Frodo form Legolas. He bid her goodnight and started walking to his own car.

"So," He started turning around, "Have I earned the chance to hear you sing?" He asked hopefully.

Billa grabbed a pen from her car; she walked up to him with a smile tugging on her lips. She held out her hand expectedly. He gave her hand his hand. Billa wrote down her number before walking back to her car.

"Call that number sometime and find out." She told him, adding a little smug sway to her hips as she walked away.

Billa knocked on the door of the Greenleaf residence. It took less then a minute for Legolas to answer, Frodo sleeping contently in his arms, drooling on his shoulder.

"Thank you so much Legolas, I don't know what I would do without you."

"It is no trouble. It is very amusing when he can beat my father at any game without nay help." Billa smiled as she took her son from the man's arms.

Legolas helped her carry Frodo's bag out to her car. Billa was putting him in the car seat when there was a loud crash from inside the house. Legolas sighed saying goodnight before returning inside.

Billa pulled her jacket closer as she moved to close Frodo's car door. She felt a shutter run up her spine, she looked around. She shrugged to herself. It's just a cold night.

Today was Sunday. Billa had a fight with Tauriel tonight.

Thankfully she had managed to get up before Frodo and he didn't jump on her.

After a breakfast of cheerio's and bagels (Frodo liked circular foods on Sundays,) Billa helped Frodo make a new picture for his room, and Frodo helped Billa pack her gear for the fight.

For lunch Billa made sandwiches before they headed to the small arena. It could fit a little over two hundred people.

Hamfast, and Sam were waiting outside of Billa's dressing room. Hamfast took Sam and Frodo with him while Billa got changed.

Her fight clothes were just a simple dark red sports bra and light green short and sliders. It was more colorfully than most of the other fighters choose to go for, but Billa loved anything bright and colorful. She also liked to wear her father's old college hoddie (the one her mom stole out of his closet when they were dating,) before a fight.

She had an hour or two before the fight so Billa put on her shin guards and pulled her hair back in a loose ponytail. She would braid it later.

Then she left her dressing room to find Hamfast , Frodo, and Sam. Pulling up her hood up she headed to food stands.

She found Hamfast, Frodo, and Sam talking to Bofur, Nori, Fili, and Kili. She had given Bofur tickets to the fight, but she didn't think that he would bring Fili and Kili. Nori she had expected. He loved to see her beat the crap out of other fighters, and Billa suspected he had started a small gambling ring but wasn't going to rat him out.

Frodo was the first to notice her. He smiled widely and started waving. How can he be that cute? The others turned to see who he was waving at.

"Billa!" Bofur said happily as she reached them.

"Hello." Billa greeted them as she picked Frodo up. "I didn't think you'd bring anyone else. I thought that Nori had sold the three other tickets already." She laughed when Nori mubble something about 'I was about to,' when Bofur elbowed him in the ribs.

"Well you see the lads here heard about how you 'saved' Thorin in the alley." Bofur explained.

"We wanted to see you fight Miss Boggins." Kili said with a smile that said he proud of himself that he remembered her name, even if he really didn't.

"Thank you for coming, but I have to steal Hamfast for a bit." She said putting Frodo on the ground next to Sam.

"Why don't we take the boys to our seats, that way you can focus." Bofur suggested. Billa looked over all the boys. Frodo and Sam both looked excited, Nori looked bored (Billa could tell he wanted to watch the boys), Bofur, Kili, and Fili looked hopefull.

"Any objections Gaffer?"

"No, go have fun." He said with a laugh.

"Hurt them in anyway, I break you all." Billa threatened glaring at them all, and then she smiled extra sweetly before saying "Have fun boys."

Thorin returned to the food stands to find his family. Bofur, Fili, and Kili had decided to drag him to Billa's fight. When they went to get some snacks Thorin had excused himself to go to the bath room.

He spotted them only a few feet away.

"Watch where you're going." Someone hissed at him when he accidently bumped into them.

"Sorry." He mumbled as he moved to his friends, making sure to not bump into anyone else.

"Uncle!" Kili was the first to see him. "Have you meet the little ones yet?" he asked excitedly.

"Who?"

"Billa's son and Her trainer's son. Frodo and Sam!" Thorin looked behind his nephew to see Fili and Bofur in an animated conversation with Frodo who he recognized from Billa's house the other day, and a blond boy who looked to be the same age as Frodo. Thorin could assume that this was Sam. Both boys were sitting at one of the high tables and were sharing a pretzel.

"Really and you just killed the spider like that?" he heard Fili asked.

Frodo and Sam nodded together. "Sam jus' squashed it! He was super-duper brave."

"I called it Shelob." Sam said proudly.

"Frodo, Sam, this is my uncle Thorin." Kili introduced wrapping his arm around Thorin. "Don't worry, he's a big softy once you get to know him." Kili whispered loudly, putting his hand to the side of his mouth so Thorin wouldn't 'hear' him.

"Hi Mister Thorin." Frodo greeted happily.

"Hello." Sam waved.

Thorin smiled, "It is a pleasure to properly meet you both."

"Billa and Hamfast said that we could watch Frodo and Sam during the match." Bofur explained.

"Which should be starting any minute now, lets go to our seats." Nori told them while checking his watch.

The tickets Billa had given Bofur were front row like always. Fili and Kili carried Frodo and Sam to the seats as Bofur lead the way, Thorin walked next to Nori.

"How many of her fights have you been to?" He asked the red head.

"Enough. I lost count really. She always gives us the best tickets. I useally give them to the highest bidder. But if you're interested, you could even make some money off the fight."

"I'm good" Thorin said hesitantly. Nori shrugged.
