Hello everyone! This chapter contains Fili's and Poppy's wedding night. I'm unsure about the rating. But I decided to keep it T. I won't describe details but if you don't like to read such things, you might want to skip the last part of this chapter.

The ceremony was followed by one of the biggest parties Hobbiton had seen for a few years. All guests sat at long tables with lots of delicious food in front of them.

Fili stood up to thank the hobbits for accepting him in Hobbiton and for coming to the wedding and sat down again smiling at his beautiful bride. He wanted to start eating when one of the hobbits stood up and asked if he was allowed to say something. Fili swallowed because he didn't even know his name but nodded nonetheless.

Poppy squeezed his hand under the table and whispered that the hobbit was Daisy's father Halfred. She knew that Fili still often thought that many didn't want him in Hobbiton. The incident during the ceremony had brought all these fears and worries back to the surface again.

"Mister Fili, I'd like to tell you something in the name of all of us and especially those who know Poppy quite well. We may have been a bit suspicious at the beginning but soon all of us realised that you are no danger for any of us. You're not just a very talented blacksmith but you're also nice to everyone, especially the children and their broken toys." Halfred smiled at Primula, who still looked very unhappy. "But most importantly you safed Poppy's life. She undoubtedly would have died without you. And we're all sure that you would have done the same for any hobbit and not just the one you love."

Then his wife interrupted him. "You even kind of saved Poppy twice. After her family's death she always looked sad and lost. After a few weeks she managed to live on her own but she wasn't the hobbit she used to be. Everyone here worried about her even though we never told her. But you made her whole again."

"Yes, that's true! You made her happy again. We want to tell you that you don't need to worry. We all like you and hope that you'll stay in our community for the rest of your life." Halfred added and all the hobbits cheered in agreement.

Fili was overwhelmed. He didn't know what the say. He only managed "Thank you! I promised that I will never disappoint you."

After a splendid dinner the party continued with dancing, songs and stories for the children. Fili danced with Poppy for quite a long time but also remembered his promise.

The young dwarf needed a while to find Primula. She sat alone in a corner and cried. He kneeled down in front of her and stoked her hair. Then she looked at him with puffy eyes and sobbed "You only danced with her!"

"Yes, it's a tradition for the groom and bride to dance together. But now I'm here only for you." Fili smiled at her. He stood up and bowed "May I have the pleasure of the the next dance, my lady?"

Primula giggled and quickly stood up to take his hand. Fili whirled her around the dancefloor for a long time. He told her that he lived next to her now and that they might see each other even more often then before. A few moments later she smiled again and even told Poppy how sorry she was for her behaviour earlier.

Later Fili and Poppy danced and kissed once again when Gandalf appeared next to them. He cleared his throat and asked Fili to follow him. He had to leave soon but wanted to give him something first.

Fili groaned but followed the wizard together with Poppy and Bilbo. They stopped in front of a small table on which lay a bundle of cloth. He unwrapped the bundle and gasped, it contained his beloved twin swords.

"King Thranduil returned all the weapons and clothes that were taken from you during your imprisonment in his halls. Your mother said that they meant a lot to you and she wanted you to have them even though you're far away from home." Gandalf said and then added for only Fili to hear "She told me in front of the Ereborian Council to bury them somewhere close to Rivendell since there is no grave and no children to hand them down to."

Fili nodded "Thank you, Gandalf! They belonged to my father and are indeed very precious to me."

After a while Fili and Poppy decided to leave to party. They finally wanted to spent some time alone and Poppy was cold even though she had a shawl wrapped around her shoulders. They said good night to Bilbo and Daisy, who told Fili that he didn't have to think about his smithy for the next two weeks. The hobbits wanted him to spend this time wife his wife.

They walked home holding hands and watching the stars and the moon. Suddenly the sky was iluminated by Gandalf's colourful fireworks. Poppy watched the sky in awe. Fili wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her temple. Apparently all hobbits loved fireworks and Gandalf's were known to every fauntling though most of the younger hobbits had never seen them until now.

Soon the couple arrived in their home. Poppy looked a bit scared. Fili remembered how inexperienced his bride was. Her mother had told her the basics about what would happen in her wedding night but she didn't know much more. Fili had been with a few lasses in Ered Luin and knew that the first time was always quite painful for females and he worried that he might hurt her more than a hobbit would. He had seen Bilbo naked during their quest and had soon realised that his body was very different from a hobbit's. He vowed to himself that he'd be as gentle and careful as possible. He wanted Poppy to enjoy their first night together as well.

Poppy stood in the living room and put her necklace, earrings and bracelet in a small box on the table. Then she turned around towards her husband "Would you help me to take off my wedding dress?"

Fili went to her and cupped her cheek "We have all the time in the world my dear. There's no need to rash things."

Poppy looked at him with pleading eyes "This dress means so much to me. It belonged to my mother and I worry that we might damage it somehow."

Fili agreed and started to open the laces at the back of the dress. Poppy stepped out of the dress and put it over a chair. Now all she wore was a light linen shift. Her cheeks flushed and she looked down at her feet.

Fili placed his hands on her chin to make her look at him and started to kiss her. Soon Fili took off his tunic. Poppy bit her lower lip and trailed her fingers over his chest and belly. Fili took a deep breath. This pace and Poppy's light touches were maddening.

Soon he carried her towards the bedroom and placed her on their new bed. Poppy still looked very nervous and her body was shaking slightly. Fili places soft kisses on her lips, nose and forhead and told her to relax. After he while he moved his hands down her body over her breasts and belly until they reached the hem of her shift.

When he started to push it up, Poppy stiffened. Fili looked at her in worry "Do you want me to stop? It's ok, we can wait."

"No, please don't stop. I trust you and I know that you're not going to hurt me unless you have to." Poppy smiled at him lovingly and tried to relax.

A few moments later Poppy was completely naked. Her cheeks flushed in a bright red and she tried to hide her body from Fili's view. But the young dwarf would have non of that. He placed her arms next to her body and looked at her in amazement. "You're the most beautiful female I have ever seen! I love you so much!"

Poppy frowned "I love you more than anything in the world! But I still don't understand why you love me. I'm just a boring, plain hobbit with large hairy -"

Fili leaned down and pressed his lips upon hers to silence her. Then he traced his tongue over her lips and deepened the kiss. Poppy's hands stocked his beard and tucked at his hair. The young dwarf started to place soft kisses all over his wife's soft skin. Poppy closed her eyes and soon her sighs turned into soft moans. Fili thought he was going insane but took it as a good sign that his wife enjoyed their wedding night so far. He would show her how much he loved her for the rest of the night...

As promised to my loyal reviewer overlordred I tried to write some "sexy time". I don't think my attempt ended well, so I say sorry in advance! I leave the rest to your imagination ;)
