Thatgirl2002 – Figured you'd like that ending. Put yes I had to add that one extra bit of cruelness to poor Fira.

RocketRacoonGirl83 – I know. But things will move on up for her I promise.

Celebrisilweth – Yeah I figured by now Kili would have calmed down and understood what happened with Thorin.

Bleeding Blue Kunoichi – Sol was always going to die at Fira's hand…claw…thing. As for babies you'll have to wait and see.

Important First Impressions

Three Months Later

"How do I look?"

"Beautiful."

Fira placed her hands on her hips, "You aren't even looking!"

Sighing Kili glanced up at her, "Fira you are beautiful. You could stand before me in rags and look gorgeous."

Fira glanced down at herself. She'd manged to find enough scraps to make herself a couple of dresses. The nicest was a dark green with gold trimming the cuffs and collar. The bodice was yellow with green flowers stitched on. Perfect for meeting Kili's mother. Kili glanced her up and down.

"Fira forgive me. Beautiful is an understatement. You look like a goddess."

Running a hand through her hair Fira smiled awkwardly. Moving towards Kili she took his hands and let him pull her onto his lap.

"Will your mother like it?"

He nodded, "Fira I told you; you don't need to worry about meeting my mother."

"Don't I? Kili when you left you were her little boy. Now you've met me, battled trolls, orcs and a dragon. Oh and as a side note you're now engaged!"

"To a wonderful girl," he kissed her hand, "Fira, my mother will love you. I promise."

"She won't mind that I'm a half breed?"

Kili paused, "Well…not exactly. I mean she won't react the way Thorin and the others did. She'll love you."

Leaning against him Fira sighed, "You're sure?"

"Yes!" Sitting up Kili shot her a bemused smile.

"Fira why are you getting so worried?"

"Well she's your mother. I'm going to have to spend the rest of my life with her. I want her to feel like you didn't make a mistake."

Kili slipped an arm around her waist; his hand resting on her stomach.

"Fira I don't need my mother to tell me that I struck gold when I met you. Whatever she thinks of you means nothing to me. I am in love with you and want to marry you. Nothing will change that."

Smiling Fira leaned into kiss him. Kili's lips coated hers for the briefest of seconds when they heard someone holding back a laugh. Breaking apart Fira blushed when she saw Bofur. Kili meanwhile looked annoyed.

"Bofur didn't your mother teach you how to knock?"

"Didn't yours teach you to shut the door if you're…busy," Bofur grinned. Fira saw Kili blush. Deciding it would be best to change the subject she turned back to the dwarf in the doorway.

"What is it?"

"We've sighted the first group," Bofur grinned, "They'll be here in half an hour."

As he moved away Fira got to her feet and brushed her dress out. Kili chuckled at the sight. However Fira had the last laugh when he hurriedly shook out his jacket. Taking his hand she led him out into the corridor.

"Fira," Kili pulled her close, "Just be yourself. Trust me; she'll love the fact she's getting a daughter."

"Two daughters," she corrected him. Kili paused before nodding.

"Looks like me and Fili will soon be outnumbered."

Standing next to Kili Fira slipped her hand into his. The huge double gates had been opened and she could see a huge group of dwarves getting down from ponies and wagons. Biting her lip she realised she was holding Kili's hand tightly.

"Sorry."

He smiled down at her, "Fira for the last time stop worrying. Mother can't wait to meet you."

"I know but…wait what?" Turning Fira narrowed her eyes, "You mean you've told her about me?"

"Well," Kili tugged at his sleeves, "I may have mentioned you several times in my letters."

He cupped her face, "I thought you'd be happy. At least she is expecting to see her future daughter. I didn't really want to shock her on her arrival."

Nodding Fira glanced up to see a dwarven woman moving towards them. Her long dark hair had been tied back in a single braid and her dark eyes twinkled the same way Kili's did.

"I feel sick," Fira mumbled.

Kili rubbed her back, "You'll be fine. Come on."

Letting Kili pull her towards his mother; Fira took the opportunity to get another look. Kili's mother was a bit shorter than Kili and yet Fira could see the authority in her eyes.

"Oh my boy!"

Fira stifled a giggle as Kili was pulled into a tight hug. His mother pressed kisses over his face before burying her face in his neck.

"I was so worried about you!"

"Mother!" Kili wriggled in her grip, "I told you I was fine."

"I'm your mother," she held him at arms-length, "I'll always worry."

Kili rubbed the back of his neck and Fira realised that his mother's eyes had landed on her.

"Is this her?"

"Yes," Kili took her hand and at the pride in his eyes Fira blushed.

"Mother this is Fira. My One."

His mother nodded; glancing Fira up and down.

"She's beautiful," she said to Kili, "Very beautiful."

Fira knew she should say something. However all she could do was stick by Kili's side. His mother smiled before turning back to Kili.

"And your brother..?"

"Yes he's…somewhere?" Kili glanced around. His mother placed a hand on his shoulder.

"I'll find him. I must confess I was excited to be meeting my two future daughters today," she turned to Fira.

"I must come and see you later."

"Um…okay." Giving an awkward curtsey Fira watched as Kili's mother moved away. She was so busy watching her that she didn't notice Kili's arms around her waist until he kissed her ear.

"Now then. That wasn't so bad was it?"

Fira shook her head as Kili spun her round.

"We don't have to stay you know."

Taking his hand Fira began pulling him back towards their room.

Curled up on her bed Fira was busy reading one of the many books she had found in Erebor's library. She was aware of the door opening but assumed it was Kili. So when his mother cleared her throat she couldn't help her cry.

"Sorry," sitting up and brushing her dress down Fira moved towards the other woman.

"Please sit," she indicated one of the two chairs by the fire. Kili's mother did so whilst Fira nervously sat in the other chair.

"Everything was so chaotic the other day," Kili's mother smiled, "I wanted to meet you properly without anyone else nosing in."

Fira nodded dumbly. Kili's mother rubbed her shoulder.

"I figured my name would be a good start. I'm Dis."

Fira found herself wishing she did more than just nodding. Dis glanced at her again.

"Kili told me a bit about you in his letters. I mean he couldn't stop talking about you. But once I got past all the flattery I realised he hadn't said much."

"Oh…well there isn't much to tell."

"Nonsense," Dis smiled, "He mentioned your parents were both dead."

"Yes. My mother died in childbirth and err…my father…"

Dis took her hands, "Kili told me about your heritage if that's what you're worried about. He explained your mother was a Dragonborn."

"Oh, well yes my father was killed for courting her. He never knew she was carrying me. If he had maybe he would have tried to get both him and her away."

Licking her lips she locked eyes with Dis.

"I…do you…do you think I'm good enough for Kili?"

Dis laughed, "No mother thinks any girl is good enough for her own son."

"Oh."

"However; Kili told me about how brave you were. How you thought nothing of risking your life to save another. He told me you were kind and funny and smart. I wanted him to meet a girl who would make him happy. And that girl is you."

Fira relaxed in her chair, "I thought you wouldn't like me. I thought you wouldn't want me marrying Kili. I mean he's your son! He's a prince and I'm nothing."

Dis reached over and took her hands, "Fira I don't care about your mixed blood. I don't care if you're a princess or a beggar. You love my son and have made him so happy. That is all I want from you."

Smiling Fira watched as Dis sat back.

"Kili told me not to worry," Fira admitted, "He said he should be worried in case you told me stories about him as a child."

Dis grinned, "Well it would be a shame to disappoint him wouldn't it?"

"Fira are you ready?"

"One second."

Running a brush through her hair Fira smiled at herself before opening the door that led from the small bathroom into the main bedroom. Kili stood by the door in a brand new tunic and jacket. His sword hung on his hip. Clearing her throat Fira stepped into the room. Kili beamed.

"Beautiful."

Fira took his hand. She'd taken her dark orange dress from Beorn's and added a few extras. The collar was now trimmed with fur whilst the bodice could be tied up with silver ribbons. The edges of the sleeves were embroidered with an intricate branch pattern. Kili bowed.

"My princess."

Kissing him Fira let him lead her into the corridor. She gave a small jump.

"I'm so excited! I've never been to a proper feast before."

Kili smiled, "Feast is a bit fancy. Party is more like it. Think Bag End but on a bigger scale."

Smiling Fira linked arms as they walked. It had been a few weeks since the first dwarves had arrived. Now that everyone was here Thorin had thrown a huge feast to celebrate the reclaiming of Erebor. Fira smiled to herself. It wouldn't be too long before her wedding feast. Glancing up at Kili she leant against him. Had she been told a year ago that she would be marrying a prince of Erebor she'd have laughed. But to be here now; walking alongside him..? A dream come true.

"Fira?"

"Sorry, miles away."

Kili kissed her cheek, "I know. I was just saying we're here."

Holding his hand Fira let him enter the great hall first. As they did huge cheers rang out. Fira stuck close by Kili.

"How much have they had to drink?"

He grinned, "Mahal only knows!"

Fira said nothing as Kili led her through the mass of tables up to where a huge table sat at the very end of the room. Thorin sat in the middle with Fili and Mithiel on his left and two empty chairs on his right. Taking her seat between Kili and Dwalin Fira's eyes popped at the amount of food on the table.

"You were right Kili," she began piling food onto her plate, "This is like Bag End."

He nodded, "Except this time I look at you and don't need to worry that you won't love me."

"I…Kili we had only just met then!"

"I know," he took her hand, "But I was in love with you so much Fira. I just didn't say anything because I was scared you would reject me."

"I could never reject you Kili," leaning in for a kiss Fira smiled as the company whistled and cheered.

"Do ye mind if we eat first?" Bofur grinned. Breaking apart Fira turned to her own food. However; before she could take a bite Thorin had risen to his feet. The hall silenced.

"My friends; tonight we celebrate something we never thought possible. Once again we are feasting in the halls of our fathers."

People cheered and Fira clapped along with the others. Thorin nodded.

"I promise you that we will never again be forced to abandon Erebor. This will be our home until the last dwarf draws breath!"

More cheers. Thorin picked up his glass.

"To Erebor."

"TO EREBOR!"

Drinking Fira expected Thorin to sit down. However he simply but the glass back.

"I always wish to celebrate another occasion. Two others actually."

"Oh no," Kili muttered; his ears going red. Fira noticed Fili seemed equally embarrassed. Thorin glanced down.

"As you know it is rare for a dwarf to find their One. Yet on this quest both of my nephews were blessed to find theirs. I know that Mithiel and Fira will make Fili and Kili very happy and I would like it if you could join me in a toast to celebrate their engagements."

He took the glass again, "To Fili and Mithiel."

"TO FILI AND MITHIEL."

"And to Kili and Fira."

"TO KILI AND FIRA!"

If she was being honest Fira couldn't remember much of the walk back. She knew that at some point Kili had picked her up and carried her; but everything else was a blur. Sinking into his grip she rested her head against his chest. Kili smiled down at her.

"Too much to drink?"

Fira shook her head. She didn't try and talk in case she threw up. Kili chuckled and kicked open the door to their room. Fira was aware of him lying her down on the bed. However as his hands reached to undo her dress she buckled.

"No! No get off!"

He recoiled, "Fira it's me? It's Kili. I'm just undressing you so you can go to bed. I'm not trying to do anything inappropriate I swear."

Fira nodded before shutting her eyes. She smiled as Kili pulled the dress off before tucking her into bed. The bed dipped again as he lay down beside her.

"Firs I know you won't remember this tomorrow, but I'm so happy I met you. You are the best thing in my life. You always will be."

Fira nodded, "Kili why is my head ringing?"

He laughed, "Get some rest my love."

Curled up against Kili, Fira slept like a log – ringing head ignored.

So bit filler-ish but I've now got that all important meeting the mother out of the way. For Fira. Plus I wanted some nice moments between them given some of the drama that's going to be going on in upcoming chapters. Let me know what you think xxx
