Hi all! Sorry I didn't update yesterday, but had to at least update one of my other stories before people started complaining, anyway I just thought I'd let you know before this chapter that I have exams starting now and I don't know how often I'll be able to update...don't worry though, I will be getting chapters up as often as I can and somehow I think that this warning will probably be pointless because, knowing me, I'll have at least a chapter up every other day in between revision. Also I'll probably write a chapter after I've had an exam to cool off. So yeah, I just thought it might be wise to warn y'all...also please wish me luck! I am super nervous! DX Anyway please review, favourite and follow my stories and I hope that you all enjoy this chapter.

ScarletRavenwood- Don't worry Nori isn't going to kill Kili. That would be disastrous! Plus Fili would then kill Nori then Dori would kill Fili and Anne would kill Dori and then Ori would kill Anne...it would get very messy...we'd need a MASSIVE mop.

Marina Oakenshield- Somehow I think everyone did, but I thought it'd be sweeter as Anne had her wedding and we haven't seen much drama for Daisy and Kili recently.

Huntressofartemis101- Glad that you liked the battlefield wedding...very Pirates of the Caribbean! :) And yes that was the idea behind it.

Daybreak96- Yay! Another person has fallen under my writer's spell! *laughs evilly* As I said in my spiel I will try to update as often as I can, but I do hope you enjoy the chapters I post over the course of the rest of this story!

Thanks also to Promise1982, Dalonega Noquisi, Guest, LillianPost and SongHyeRii for reviewing! XXX

Chapter 31 - Letters

Nearly a month had passed now and Thorin had been able to send Dis a letter of all that had befallen them on their quest. The raven had just returned, as people were heading into the large mountain, and held out it's leg, letter attatched. Thorin took it and read it out loud to the Company...to say that it was hilarious to hear the way that Dis wrote to him was an understatement.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN FILI GOT MARRIED?! WHO IS THE WOMAN AND KILI GOT ANOTHER PREGNANT! TELL THEM THEY'RE GOING TO BE SMACKED WHEN I SEE THEM!

I mean...Dear My Idiot of a Brother (who let's his nephews get married and woman pregnant)

I am glad to hear that everything was successful on your quest. Besides Kili falling off a cliff, your burglar going missing more than once, you and Fili getting injured, the spiders, orcs, goblins, I have to say I was highly amused by the trolls, oh and you're a large piece of warg dung for letting the gold sickness overcome you!

As for me I am well, not to much has happened in Ered Luin over the past year. More word from you though would've been appreciated. Also I still want to know why you insist on keeping the identity of your female companions secret? It's all very mysterious...

Our caravan will probably have departed by the time you get this letter and even though it will take a couple of months for me to reach you...DON'T THINK THAT I'LL FORGET WHO NEEDS TO BE SLAPPED...I've made a long list!

Now hello to my boys...you're dead when I see you.

Fili,

Well done for keeping your brother safe, besides losing him off a cliff, but he's reckless so I don't blame you. WHY ON EARTH DID YOU GET MARRIED? Do I know the girl? Although I have to say I'm proud of you...to find someone you love and who will love you is a treasured thing amongst us dwarves...I'm very proud of you my son. But you're still getting slapped, don't think you're getting out of it! Meanwhile look after Kili and your woman. Also make sure the girl that you're idiot younger brother got pregnant is ok...I hope I'll be there before the child arrives...which leads onto my next question...Do you plan on starting a family with this girl?

I will see you soon my boy x

Now Kili,

YOU NEARLY GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK WHEN YOUR UNCLE TOLD ME YOU'D FALLEN OFF A CLIFF! DON'T DO THAT TO YOUR POOR MOTHER! ALSO YOU GOT A POOR GIRL PREGNANT?! YOU KNOW OUR CUSTOMS! ARE YOU COURTING HER? WAS IT ONE OFF? HONESTLY I THOUGHT...sorry...I should be relieved that you are alive and I am. You did well surviving on your own and that tells me that you have matured greatly and that makes me very proud of you Kee. Just make sure you look after this girl and the baby, when it comes...also, like your brother, I am still going to slap you.

Much Love xx

The Company,

Thank you for keeping my boys alive! Oin thank you for mending Fili and Thorin. Gloin your wife hopes you are well and said some things I care not repeat in this letter, I'm sure she'll tell you when she sees you. Gimli was also asking after you, he hopes you counted however many orcs and goblins you killed so he can try to keep up when he gets older. The Ri brothers I will be sure to bring all trade-able goods along with us in the caravan so tell Dori that he can stop worrying! Also Nori behave yourself and Ori, if I remember correctly, the libraries are in the deeper parts of Erebor so the scrolls and books still may be in good condition! Bombur your wife was also asking after you, she misses you very much and your children all say hi. Bofur and Bifur, well done for keeping the spirits of the group high. Knew I could count on you! Balin and Dwalin, I commend you for keeping the group sane...how did you manage it? Dwalin well done for hitting Thorin X Balin I do hope that my boys weren't as much trouble as Thorin has made them out to be!

I will see you all soon and I expect a big catch up over a proper feast x

Burglar, or more preferred Bilbo Baggins of the Shire,

Thank you for graciously agreeing to accompany my annoying pig-headed brother on this venture. I hope it wasn't to much of a hassle? I do believe it was in your best intentions when it came to the Arkenstone matter. I only hope that the wealth of our people will no cause any more trouble. Keep your ever watchful eyes over these lot, they're quite tricky aren't they? Also well done for conversing with the dragon...you now hold a place in my high regards. When I arrive I hope you're as pleasant as you've been made out to be. And please don't call me Lady or Princess. You are a friend of my friends so Dis will be perfect.

Till I finally meet you.

Finally the mysterious girls who ended up with this lot,

Never in all my hopes did I imagine either of them to find love before they were 150. But here they are one with a wife and the other with a child on the way...you must be really special girls...

I congratulate you for your wedding to my eldest. He is a good man and will treat you well. Just by the fact that Thorin speaks of you highly and with great affection do I know that you will be good for my boy. I look forward to meeting you and being there as you and Fee start your life together. Please please tell me though that you are going to have an official ceremony? If so I'm excited for it already. From what I've heard you seem like an extraordinary young woman and it fills me with joy to know that my son can recognise when he has found his One. Even though you aren't of noble blood it doesn't matter. I hope we can be friends and it will be a blessing to call you my daughter-in-law.

As for you my girl. I'm sorry if you weren't expecting this sudden pregnancy to be thrust upon you by my youngest. I do hope though that I can be of some help to you in future months...they are going to be rough and whatever you do, just try not to kill anyone. Tell Kili I expect him to treat you like a queen as he obviously loves you with all his heart. Again you must be amazing to be his One and I commend you for keeping the baby at such a young age. If you ever need anything after I arrive I will be there to help you...both of you.

Well done x

Right I do believe that's all I have to say Thorin. I expect you are reading this to the entire company. If not then I'm very upset with you. Look after yourselves until I get there and please try not to bring the mountain crashing down on you. Not long now until I get home...I love you all very dearly.

May Mahal watch over you...he better be watching when I get there and smack you all!

Princess Dis daughter of Thrain son of Thror, sister of Thorin King Under the Mountain.
