Here's than chapter two:) Enjoy!

The first week were more or less torture for Thorin. Kili cried whole nights, giving Thorin a reason to stay up all night. And because Dis wanted Thorin to act up like a real father, she didn't always get up to shush Kili. But Thorin wasn't familiar with actually taking care of a baby.

Feeding Kili for example.

Thorin was convinced a baby needed breastfeeding in his first days, but Dis managed to tell him otherwise. A baby didn't necessarily need it to stay alive. Some babies just preferred something else over breast milk.

'That what about Fili? Why did he drink it and Kili doesn't?' Thorin asked, while rocking the baby back and forth in his arms. 'That's just a matter of taste, dear brother. Fili happened to like it and Kili not. I tried to feed him something, but he did not like the taste of it.' Dis said.

'Than how am I going to feed him? I don't want him to starve to death.' Thorin said, worried about the health of Kili. Dis sighed a bit annoyed: 'By Mahal, didn't you pay attention when Fili was still a baby? Babies just need food that doesn't need to be chewed and contains enough vitamins.' Thorin looked at her, starting to nod but then remembering that he still didn't get it, and he shook his head instead.

Dis could smash herself in the face: 'You know, I do not know how Kili would survive if you didn't have me. You really don't know?' 'Dis, I'm a king, I never had time to raise a kid! And don't start about Fili. He's my nephew. Kili is a bit of a different story.' Thorin defended himself. His sister rolled her eyes: 'Alright. You know what, I'll teach you some things you could make for Kili.' She jumped up and turned to the kitchen. Thorin stood up as well, keeping Kili to his chest: 'Whoa, whoa, you're not 'teaching' me how to do it. You show me, that's different.'

Not long after the siblings arrived in the kitchen, Fili came joining them. It was no surprise to Dis and Thorin. Fili was very curious and excited about Kili and wanted to be involved in everything that even in the slightest had to do with his nephew.

Once he was there, Fili climbed on top of the counter to have a good eye on everything.

'Fili, get off. I can't do this if you sit on everything.' Dis said, trying to find place for her ingredients. Fili pouted: 'But mother, I want to see!' 'Let him, Dis. If he just moves a bit, it should be alright.' Thorin said. 'You spoil him, Thorin. If he turns out in some arrogant warrior who thinks he can get everything he wants, you're the blame for it. He needs to know the difference between right and wrong.' Dis said, placing her hands on Fili's waist and lifting him off. 'Not fair!' Fili shouted, crossing his arms. 'Life is not fair, sweetheart.' Dis said, not looking down on him.

Thorin bend down and picked up Fili. Careful not to drop Kili, he sat Fili down in his other arm. 'So, now you can see it as well.' Thorin said, receiving a smile from Fili. 'Thanks, uncle! Now I can see Kili as well!' Fili exclaimed, looking down on Kili.

Kili's brown eyes lighted up when he saw Fili's face. Thorin smiled, loving how much Fili impressed Kili. Fili seemed the like it as well: 'Look, uncle! Kili's eyes are shining at me!' he exclaimed excited, making Dis chuckle. Thorin smiled and gave both the boys a little hug.

'He, do you want me to show it to you or what?' Dis interrupted the loving moment. Thorin grinned: 'Go ahead, sister. All the ears are for you.' 'Thank you.'

At the end of the day, Dis' kitchen was one big mess.

Dis had to explain it multiple times to Thorin and once he had to try it himself, it went wrong. Fili just had to help and dropped everything he got. Not that he minded, he just scooped it from the floor and reused it anyway.

After a while, Dis got tired of it and let the boys do whatever floated their boat. She carefully picked up Kili and went to stand in the doorframe, praying that they wouldn't make too much of a mess.

Of course she was wrong.

Dis sighed frustrated when she saw the state of her kitchen and son. Fili was covered in flower and his clothes were very sticky. Thorin managed to stay cleaner, yet his face was completely covered in flower and honey.

The dwarf walked up to Dis, who closed her eyes in disgust: 'Please, take a bath first.' 'I want my son, Dis.' Thorin almost demanded. Dis sighed and smiled up at him: 'I understand, brother. But if you take him now, Kili will get covered in that dirt as well. We don't want that. Take a bath, than you cuddle with him.' 'Cuddle?! Dis, I-´ Thorin's protest got interrupted by Kili's giggles. Thorin cracked a smile and looked at Kili, who was giggling at the sight of Thorin. Dis smiled up at Thorin, who was gently tickling Kili: 'Do I look funny?'

Kili just kept on giggling, making Fili come over. 'Why is Kili giggling?' the little dwarfling asked, wiping his hands on his mother's skirt. 'Fili Durin! Do not wipe your dirty hands on my clothes!' Thorin laughed and Fili quickly pulled his hands away. He pulled his mother's arm a bit: 'Mother, I can't see him.' Dis sighed and bend down so Fili could see Kili giggling. 'Is he laughing because of uncle?' Dis just chuckled and Fili looked up at Thorin. Fili than started laughing himself as well.

'Come on, Fili. You and Thorin both need to clean up.' Dis said, standing up again and gently pushing Fili towards the bath. 'But I don't want to, mother!' Fili wined. Thorin grinned and quickly followed them.

'Can I go first?! The sooner I'm clean, the sooner I can play with Kee!' Fili exclaimed, already undressing. Dis quickly came to help as Fili was struggling getting the sticky clothes off. 'I know, Fili. But don't you think Thorin wants to play with Kili as well?' Dis said. Fili pouted, looking at Thorin. Thorin gave him a soft smile: 'You can go first, I'll wait.' 'Thanks, uncle!' Fili cheered and rushed to the bath. 'Thorin.' Dis sighed. 'Dis, leave him. If he wants to go first, than he can go first. It's not my house after all.' Thorin said, grinning up at her. She rolled her eyes and lay Kili down in his crib.

'Why in the name of Durin am I not allowed to touch my own kin?' Thorin asked, offended. 'Thorin! I just told you, if you go hold him now, Kili will get covered in flower and we can give him a bath as well.' Dis exclaimed, rushing to the bath when she heard a splash of water coming down on the ground. 'Fili!' Thorin heard her exclaim and grinned. He waited for one second and walked over to Kili.

'Not touching Kili, has that woman lost her mind?' Thorin muttered, scooping up Kili. The little boy let out a little laugh when he saw his father's face again. Thorin smiled and ran his hand down Kili's face. He gave him a kiss on his forehead and hold him close.

Dis came walking back, rubbing off her hands on a towel. 'Thorin, you can-' She stopped talking when she saw Thorin having his moment with Kili. She sighed, not happy that Thorin ignored her warnings. But she cracked a smile and leaned against the doorframe. She never expected Thorin to be so fatherly. But seeing how utterly gentle he was with him, made her realize there was more of Thorin than she knew. And nothing seemed to keep him away from him, that was for sure.

She wanted to walk up to them to tell Thorin it was his turn, when she suddenly heard another splash of water and Fili's giggles. She sighed: 'Fili Durin! Don't make me come over again!'
