Ok by the request of Marina Oakenshield I am updating!

Chapter 34 – Welcome to the World

Daisy hated being fawned over. Absolutely hated it. What she hated more than people fawning, was being cooped up in a house surrounded by fawners. Kili, Thorin, Anne...well everyone, had insisted that now that she was due any day that she stayed where she could be watched over. Honestly it was a right nightmare. Then she got an idea...

"Kili?"

The dwarf looked up from his pipe and smiled at her. She was sitting in an armchair and wearing a loose fitting dress over her bump.

"Yes Flower?"

"Would you be able to go to the market and get me some mushrooms?"

Mushrooms had been her main craving and she would only eat the ones from Dale market, the perfect way to have Kili out of the house so she could escape for a few hours. The dwarf raised an eyebrow.

"Daisy you know I'm not going to leave you by yourself."

"Kili I'm due in a few days and I can barely get myself out of this chair...besides I'm respecting your wishes and have stayed home...please I'm not going to go anywhere..."

She fluttered her eyelashes and pouted a little. Kili tried not to make direct eye contact, he knew he'd break under her beautiful gaze, but it was no use. He pushed himself up and tapped out the ashes in his pipe.

"Fine! I'll go...but be here when I get back...no trying to do housework!"

He leaned over and kissed her lightly. Daisy smiled sweetly and innocently. Crossing her fingers under her other hand she tilted her head as Kili was about to walk out the door.

"I promise!"

The dwarf prince chuckled and then left. Daisy waited a full ten minutes before trying to get up. Her bump weighed her down, but with severe strain, she was able to get to her feet.

"This is really hard!"

She hobbled to the door and opened it silently. Poking her head out, she scanned the empty corridor, before sneaking out. The girl took a deep breathe and set off at a steady walk. Supporting her back with her hands, she enjoyed the freedom. The baby moved a little as she climbed a couple of stairs, kicking a little. Daisy chuckled and rubbed her belly, wincing.

"Hey shhh I know Mummy isn't listening to Daddy, but that's because Daddy doesn't want Mummy to be running around...so shhh!"

The baby quietened down and she smiled. Then setting off again, Daisy went at a much slower pace. Her back really hurt, but she didn't care for she knew that Fili and Anne were visiting Dis, Thorin and the rest of the company were at a meeting and she'd gotten rid of Kili. No one was going to interrupt her walk or try to send her back. A stab of pain filled her and she stopped, leaning heavily against the wall.

"Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow...whooo whoo that hurt..."

The wave passed over and she gritted her teeth as she pushed off again. She felt the baby move again and then another whoosh of pain. She moaned in agony as she felt something crack...or burst. A wet trickle went down her leg and Daisy opened her eyes.

"No! No no no no no not now! No this can't happ...ow ow ow!"

She leaned her head on her arm and felt a bead of sweat roll on her face. A small puddle, of her broken waters, pooled at her feet, just as a soldier turned the corridor. He stopped when he saw the girl leaning against the wall.

"Milady are you..."

"Owwwwwwww...oh my...ggrrr that really hurts!"

"Milday?"

Daisy looked round at the soldier, his eyes had fallen at the water by her feet and his jaw hung loose. She grabbed his shoulders, digging her nails in as the previous contraction passed away.

"Please go and get Oin...oh and Lady Dis...don't tell anyone else what's happened...just get them..."

The dwarf nodded and ran down the corridor. Daisy breathed heavily as she moved back against the wall, clutching her stomach, rubbing it gently with one hand. The baby kicked and she chuckled weakly.

"It's ok baby...it's ok...shhh...Mummy's fine...shhh...you're just ready to come out..."

Fast footsteps were running towards her and Daisy heard Dis' voice.

"Daisy?! What are you doing out?!"

The girl groaned again as another wave of pain filled her. Dis skidded to a halt and Oin put a hand on her back. The healer crouched and, very rudely, lifted the back of Daisy's dress. He then shot up.

"Dis, help me get her to a bed...the wards are closest..."

Dis put an arm round Daisy and took one of her hands squeezing it gently.

"You're going to be a mum!"

"CRAP...Kili's in Dale...ow ow ow!"

She gripped Dis' hand in an iron fist and screamed as the pain shot through her. Oin chuckled and then Dis turned to the guard, who was standing about aimlessly.

"Go get King Thorin. Tell him to get Prince Kili. And tell Thorin he's going to become a Grand-Uncle!"

The guard ran off again and the trio continued slowly down to the healing wards. They were gentle with the girl down the many stairs and Oin huffed at how she shouldn't have climbed them. Dis barked at another guard to inform the others of what was happening and to meet them at the wards. They eventually made it and Oin helped Daisy onto a bed. He checked up her dress again.

"You're not quite there love..."

"ARGH HOLY CHRIST IT HURTS!"

"...Daisy you can't push yet. No matter how much you want to you cannot push! Do you understand?"

Through clenched eyes and gritted teeth the girl nodded and fisted the sheets in sweaty palms. Footsteps screeched into the wards and Daisy heard Anne's voice.

"OH MY GOD SHE'S HAVING THE BABY!"

Everyone let out a laugh and Anne ran to her friend and took her other hand. She smiled briefly at Dis.

"Anne it really hurts!"

"I know Days. But just think soon you'll see Kee and you'll have that baby...just be good and listen...oh my god ow OW my hand!"

…

Kili turned when he heard someone cry out. He saw his uncle pushing and shoving through the crowd. He skidded to a halt in front of his nephew panting. The archer chuckled.

"Uncle did you run here?...What's up?"

".. . ...Daisy...hu. ..hu..hu..baby...coming!"

Kili froze. The baby was coming.

"Oh Mahal...I'm gonna be a dad..."

He staggered back a little and then Thorin grabbed him.

"Never mind that your wife is having your kid now and you're not there!"

"MAHAL DAISY!"

Kili took off at a run back to the mountain. He barely heard Thorin behind him.

…

"ARGH! PLEASE OH GOD OW! MAKE IT STOP!"

Oin patted her knee and smiled.

"Nearly there..."

Daisy squeezed Anne and Dis' hands. She whimpered.

"I want Kili!"

"He'll be here soon Daisy."

Oin shot up.

"Now Daisy...I need you to give me a hard push now...we need to get the head out."

Daisy nodded weakly, sweat dripped off her face and she panted. The pain came and she pushed as much as she could, she cried out and bit her lip, blood trickled from it. Anne moved round.

"Oh my god the head is out Daisy! You have the head of a baby! It's amazing!"

Daisy managed to growl.

"No it's not it's coming out of my lower half and I'm in agony!"

Anne laughed and then looked as Oin popped his head up again.

"Daisy one more big push and then you'll have a baby!"

Daisy let out a breath and nodded. She pushed again, squeezing Dis' hand and then released the tension when she heard a cry. The wailing filled her eyes and tears sprang into her eyes. She saw Oin rub something with a towel and then a small snip. Anne beamed at her.

"It's a boy!"

The salty tears rolled down her cheeks when Anne approached her with the small bundle of blue. Then gently her friend passed her the blue pile. A tiny head, two tiny hands, two tiny feet, a large tuft of dark brown hair...his little eyes were scrunched shut and his wails died when he felt Daisy brush his cheek with her finger. The girl let out the mix of a choked sob and laughter and kissed the baby's head. Suddenly another wave of pain filled her and she whined. Oin chuckled.

"That'll be his twin!"

Anne stared. Daisy stared. Dis swore loudly. Kili screeched into the ward followed by Thorin.

"Twins?"

"Didn't I tell you it was twins?"

Kili stopped when Dwalin held him back.

"Not yet lad."

"But I need to be there!"

"Oin is busy delivering the second one."

"SECOND ONE?!"

He stopped when he heard Daisy scream and then a wail. He tried to run in, but everyone stopped him.

"Not until Oin says lad...Dis' orders."

"GAH!"

He began to pace and Fili kept trying to calm him down. Suddenly Oin emerged and smiled at everyone.

"They're all fine..."

Kili stepped forward, but the healer held up a hand.

"She wants to see you last."

So now Kili had to wait whilst the others flooded in and cooed. It felt like forever before Dis and Anne herded them out. Fili clapped his brother's arm.

"Well done Kee...go get 'em!"

Then it was just him and the cut off bed. He approached it quietly and marvelled at what he saw. There was Daisy sitting up in bed, holding a bundle of blue cloth. She smiled at it and cooed quietly, kissing the top of it's head.

"Are you not coming to see your sons?"

She looked up at him and gestured to the small bundle lying in a cot. Kili went over and looked at his son, a smile on his face and tears flowing from his eyes. He scooped the babe up and touched it gently. Then he walked over to Daisy and kissed her head.

"Well done Flower..."

"Thank you."

"So...twins?"

"Yeah...Tyli..."

She gestured to the boy he held.

"And Nyli..."

And then to her other son. Kili smiled and chuckled.

"Perfect. They're perfect."
