Chapter 30 – Blossoming Of New Things

The next few days, after the battle, were joyous. Thorin managed to pull through his injuries. Bilbo was found and made his peace with the dwarf king. The Ri brother's had cried their hearts out at Daisy's return. Fili and Thorin both cried in front of Kili. Dwalin didn't kill Fili, much to everyone's relief. Also everyone now knew that Anne and Fili were now officially "married". Thorin, in his cot bed, did say though that he did want them to have a proper wedding so that others knew. The gold-sickness seemed to have left the king and he apologised repeatedly for anything and everything he had said. Daisy and Kili had been questioned within an inch of their live about their journey. They explained everything, apart from the fact that they were now courting...they didn't need to, all the company had seen their braids. Anne was absolutely ecstatic at that news and hugged them both to death. Everything was perfect and they'd been in the mountain within a few weeks.

It was a slightly chilly night. Anne was curled up with Fili in his healing tent. Kili was talking to Thorin in his tent. Most of the company were bustling about and Daisy sat by the fire alone. She hadn't been feeling to well the past couple of days, so people had told her to take it easy. This hadn't really settled well with the blonde, but she hadn't complained when food came her way. The girl had been feeling really hungry as well as ill. That night she'd had beef stew with apricots and mushrooms. Anne found that odd because her friend detested mushrooms, yet she assumed it was to do with the fact that she wasn't feeling great and hadn't had the best meals over the course of her journey.

"Lass."

Daisy stopped eating her apple and looked up. Oin was standing near to her, his brow was slightly furrowed.

"Yes Oin."

"Can I have a word in private?"

Daisy looked around. Then she shrugged and got to her feet.

"Sure why not."

The older dwarf led her to a tent, a healing tent, and washed his hands. Daisy clapped hers in front and behind her. Oin walked around the tent, gathering bits and pieces, being awful mysterious.

"Sooooo...what did you want to talk about?"

The dwarf patted the examination table.

"Can you lie for me?"

"Oin it's just a stomach bug...I don't need a check up!"

Daisy laughed, but Oin looked at her seriously.

"Please just lie on the table."

Daisy nervously climbed onto and lay on her back. She lay her hands on her stomach. Oin finished collecting stuff and then re-washed his already clean hands. He turned to the girl.

"Daisy can you lift up your shirt?"

"Uh..."

Oin raised an eyebrow and Daisy rolled the fabric up to her chest to reveal her pale stomach. Oin then pushed up his sleeves, rubbed some salve on his hands, and then placed them gently on her belly. The girl giggled.

"That's cold!"

"It's the salve...shh...I'm trying to focus."

He moved his hands gently over the base of her stomach. Daisy felt butterflies inside her and kept glancing down at the healer.

"Oin what are you doing?"

The healer snapped up and grabbed a wet cloth. He wiped his hands and then passed it to Daisy.

"You can sit up now. Oh and you may want to wipe that off."

Daisy nodded and sat up, cleaning the sticky salve off her skin. Oin walked around again humming to himself. The girl frowned.

"What was that about?"

"hmmm hmmm hmmmmmm..."

"Oin! What's up with me?"

"You been feeling sick recently haven't you?"

"Yeah, but we all thought it was maybe something I ate, like the mushrooms. I don't like them."

"Yet you can't stop eating them."

"So?"

The healer went into his own little world again. Daisy rolled her eyes and hopped off the bed, chasing him round the room.

"Oin? Oin? Oin...OIN!"

"What what? Ah yes...Do you feel as if you've put on weight?"

"What?"

"Do you feel as if you've gotten bigger?"

Daisy blinked. Yeah she felt that maybe her belly wasn't as flat as it used to be, but she put that, also, down to the cuisine she'd been consuming.

"Well?"

"Yes yes...I've probably gone up a couple of sizes...ain't no shame in it!"

Oin smiled.

"Of course not, nothing wrong with weight gain...Now I want you to be honest with me..."

The girl rolled her eyes again. Oin looked at her dead-panned.

"Have you and Kili had sexual intercourse?"

"WHOA WHOA! Oin you can't just..."

The dwarf looked at her...his eyes pierced into hers.

"NNNNNNN...yes..."

"More than once?"

She just nodded mutely. Oin chuckled and clapped her shoulders.

"Well you're not getting fat...well you are...but not due to food! I'd say you're about 14 weeks...so there that clears up that problem."

Then he started to usher Daisy from the tent. The girl was seriously confused.

"Wait what? What do you mean 14 weeks? 14 weeks of what?!"

The healer said no more, but just led her from the tent and back to the fire. He settled her down. As he turned to leave, he looked at her.

"Now remember lass, don't strain yourself too much, you'll start getting really big soon especially since you have a smaller frame than us. Also don't let yourself get to stressed otherwise you can cause early labour and we wouldn't want that..."

He then patted her shoulder.

"and congratulations!"

Then he walked away. Daisy blinked a couple of times. What had just happened? Something hit her gut and she doubled over, holding her stomach. Another stab...no not a stab...a kick?! The girl looked down at her stomach...salve, cravings, sickness, weight gain, 14 weeks, kicking, early labour...She shot up and shouted.

"I'M PREGNANT!"

A few passing dwarves looked at her and she covered her mouth. Suddenly she felt all giddy, but at the same time terrified...giggly, but also ill...She started pacing.

"Oh my god. I have to tell Kili...and Anne and Fili...but then Thorin needs to know. Oh god what will Nori do to me...or Kili...when he finds out we...actually no I don't wanna know...Oh god Dis is gonna kill him for this...Thorin will probably kill him...14 weeks?! How could I not have noticed...well I'm not a doctor...even so..."

Another kick. Daisy put her hand on her lower abdomen. She grinned, there was a baby there.

"Don't do that...otherwise you'll hurt Mummy. I'm gonna be a mum! I'M GONNA BE A MUM!"

She did a little dance of victory.

"Go Daisy go Daisy go Daisy go Daisy..."

"Uh Daisy why are you dancing?"

The girl shrieked and jumped round. Anne was standing, looking at her friend with a slightly worried expression.

"Uh..."

"I heard you yell. Are you ok?"

"Uh..."

Kili ran out of Thorin's tent and Daisy could see Thorin's by the entrance. In fact the entire company were running towards her, even Fili was hobbling over. Kili ran to her and cupped her cheeks.

"Flower are you alright. You yelled are you hurt?"

"Uh..."

Nori looked at her.

"Petal you ok?"

Everyone started questioning the girl...who suddenly felt very ill. Anne looked at Oin, the old dwarf was stood, arms folded, laughing his head off. The company heard the rumbling chuckles and looked to him. He wiped his eyes. Their heads turned again when they heard Daisy vomiting. Kili quickly pulled her hair away and rubbed her back. Oin rubbed his eyes and laughed again.

"That may happen a lot now Lass."

"Great..."

"Wait what?"

"OH MY GOD I GET IT!"

Anne ran to her friend and squealed excitedly.

"YOU ARE NOT?!"

"I AM!"

"OH MY GOD YOU LUCKY DUCK! EEK I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU!"

"AHHH!"

The girls started jumping up and down started very loud and very fast. Kili raised his hands.

"Hang on! What is going on here?"

Oin walked up to him and whispered in his ear. The younger dwarf's eyes widened and he turned to Daisy. She nodded and Anne squealed excitedly. Kili looked round the group, then to Daisy again, chuckled nervously and then collapsed.

"Oh and I thought I overreacted when I found out. He's not the one having the baby!"

The rest of the company blinked. Anne and Daisy looked up and Oin started laughing again.

"Honestly you're almost as bad as him."

Nori also fainted.
