by Jade the Silver Princess

Have you ever wondered what would happen if Gandalf was in Valars good books and was allowed to have daughter with a woman of their choosing is your luck that it happened... I make no promises about regular posting. It has friendship between Bilbo and Thorin. Pairings are all aside cause there is more important things. Hope you like it and please review.

II.

It was a warm day in spring and Ireth was sitting in front of her house when a shadow fell over her and a male voice started speaking:

- Good morning, do you by any chance know someone who would go on an adventure with me?-

-Ada, it is so nice of you to come by, and yes I know perhaps me or young Bilbo Baggins or both, yes that sounds nice. - She replied smiling slightly and looking the odd wizard in the eyes.

-Yes, I think we agree that you will host a gathering at your house. Expect around fifteen guests.-

-Of course. - She replied even though she knew he knew that watching him leave further down the road toward the Bag End.

Gandalf continued knowing that his daughter will stand beside Thorin Oakenshield and will protect them without knowing them before because he brought them to her. Seeing from a safe distance that young Bilbo is sitting in front of his house, he approached him and started a conversation.

- Good morning.-

-Good morning!- Replied Bilbo not lifting his head from mail.

- If I knew that son of Belladonna Took would greet me as a common shoe seller I wouldn't greet him at all.- Gandalf said seriously.

Lifting his head up Bilbo stopped, he didn't see Gandalf since his mother died and he introduced him to his daughter.

-Ah, Gandalf I didn't recognize your voice. Do come in, come in.-

-I didn't come for any meal but I came to ask you are you for adventure.-

-Of course just with whoever we are going I would ask for a favor.-

-Tell and I will see what I can do.-

-Don't tell them that I am capable of fighting let it come I time.-

-Certainly, my dear boy, certainly.- He said and left.

It was evening already and Ireth was ready for the group to arrive. She was sitting in a sofa when she heard a knock.

KNOCK-KNOCK

-COMING! - She yelled.

When she opened the door she saw that it was only Bilbo so she let him forward and stayed next to the door because she just felt that someone was close and she was right.

KNOCK-KNOCK

And she opened the door and saw two young dwarfs.

-Fili…

-…and Kili.-

- At your service!-

And she replied similarly: - Ireth Cotton the Black at yours service dwarflings. Do come in. But leave your weapons here next to the door on your left than you will wash your hands, and then and only then you can come and eat.-she finished sternly.

As they entered the living room Bilbo introduced himself and then they heard another knock. It was Balin and Dwalin. It was done the same and then Gandalf arrived with the rest, well all but one.

And as if knowing what she was thinking Gandalf said:

- He will arrive, he's late that's all.-

Suddenly Gandalf said as a knock was heard: -He's here.-

Everyone fell quiet and Ireth and Bilbo opened the doors. As he entered he looked around and his eyes fell on Bilbo. He took one step forward and said:

- So this is our burglar, tell me axe or a sword.-

Before Bilbo could say anything Ireth started shouting at the same time as Gandalf and almost all lights went out.

-THORIN OAKENSHIELD… - they started together but Ireth continued.

-…YOU DARE TO ENTER MY HOUSE WITHOUT EVEN SAYING HELLO AND START QUESTIONING MY GUEST. FURTHER MORE YOU DIDN'T INTRODUCE YOURESELF AND JUST ASUMED THAT IT IS NOT IMPORTANT TO GREET YOUR HOST. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED YOUR NEPHEWS HAVE MORE MANNERS THAN YOU. You will NOT come any further into MY house till you apologize PROPERLY to me AND my guest. Then you will leave your things where the rest left theirs. IS. THAT. UNDERSTOOD.-

-I… - Thorin begun but Ireth stopped him.

-I ASKED IS. THAT. UNDERSTOOD.-

-Yes it is madam and it won't happen again.- He said and apologized for the rest.

The rest of the gathered looked shocked and amazed at the same time because no one saw Thorin get yelled at.

Later that evening they gathered around the table where they conversed.

-GANDALF I SAID FOURTEENTH MEMBER OF THE COMPANY NOT FOURTEENTH AND FIFTEENH. – Thorin said angered after hearing that Gandalf thought that both Ireth and Bilbo should come.

Gandalf explained right then and there how Ireth is HIS daughter and that she IS going. Expect for that there was no problem and they went to sleep.
