While the others still celebrated Kili's and Daisy's wedding, the couple went to their new rooms. They were both happy that they were finally allowed to live together.
Kili worried about their wedding night though and frowned. Of course they had already spent a night together in Mirkwood but he worried if he could still please Daisy with one hand.
Daisy noticed that something was wrong and went to Kili to kiss him. She told him that she loved him and that she didn't want any other husband. Then she slowly took of his tunic and ran her fingers over his body. She gasped when she saw many of his scars and put many kisses along them.
After a few minutes Kili finally relaxed. He played with Daisy's hair and tried to open her dress. Daisy helped him and soon they were both completely naked. Daisy laid down on their bed and pulled Kili on top of her. They kissed some more and then Kili laid down next to his wife to look at her. He smiled when he saw the small bump of her belly and frowned. Suddenly Kili worried that he might hurt the child when they made love but Daisy was soon able to stop him from worrying. Kili smiled again and started to put kisses all over her body. When Daisy started moaning loudly all of his worries and fears vanished and they carefully made love for a long time until Daisy fell asleep in Kili's arms.
In the middle of the night Daisy woke up because she heard Kili screaming. She stroked his cheek and tried to wake him up. After a few moments Kili finally opened his eyes and looked at Daisy in shock. He pulled her against his chest and sobbed into her hair.
Daisy ran her fingers through Kili's hair in an attempt to comfort him. "Kili, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"
Kili nodded. "Aye, Tauriel was there in our wedding night. She killed you and our baby and made me watch. She said now I would finally pay for everything I had done." He explained in between sobs.
"Oh Kili! Tauriel can never hurt anyone again. Me and the child are safe. You don't have to worry." Daisy said and took his hand to put it on the small bump of her belly.
Kili nodded and pulled Daisy close. She continued to stroke his head until he finally fell asleep again.
The next morning Daisy wrote a letter to her parents. She explained that she was married to Kili now and would be a mother soon. She shed many tears because she was scared of her parents reaction. Having children out of wedlock was frowned upon by hobbits and she wasn't sure how her parents would react even though she was married now.
After almost two hours she finally finished the letter and brought it to one of the servants who would sent it to the Shire.
Down in one of the halls of Erebor Kili's friends and family still celebrated the wedding. The children played together while the adults sat together at a long table.
Suddenly Gloin asked why Kili used wedding rings instead of the beads dwarves usually used. He accepted that Fili and Kili had fallen in love with hobbits but he still wanted them to live like dwarves.
Fili explained that since Kili wasn't able to braid hair anymore, they thought about what to do for a long time. In the end they agreed to make the rings. Gloin still frowned but the others liked the idea very much and understood why Kili had made this decision.
While Poppy explained that hobbits usually had wedding rings, Ruby, Tulip, Dwalis and Vili ran to Thorin, Ori, Dwalin and Fili because they wanted to dance with them and of course they agreed.
Poppy, Dis, Fjola and Runa sat together and watched them dance. Poppy smiled when she saw Lili dancing with Runor. She wondered if these two might fall in love one day and felt a bit sad because she would probably never see her children getting married or have their own children.
Runa watched them as well but felt quite sad since she was sure that she and Runor wouldn't be allowed around Fili's children anymore once he was king. She was still just a cleaner no matter how close they had been and how easily that had been allowed to stay with the family over the last weeks.
Dis watched Runa closely and was quite sure what the younger dwarrodam worried about and decided to talk to Fili later on. She already had an idea how Runa could stay even closer to the family than she did anyways.
Fjola still felt a bit odd among the royal family and didn't understand why she was there at all. Of course she was one of Kili's healers but she wasn't friends or family. But she was happy that they had thought of her. She also watched the little ones and then her eyes fell on Thorin and Ruby. She smiled when she saw how relaxed and happy the dwarf king looked together with the little girl. She had always thought that he looked sad and had never understood why he didn't have his own family since there were so many dwarrodams who fancied him. Suddenly she noticed that Thorin watched her and quickly looked away with flushed cheeks.
Fili had seen Thorin watching Fjola as well and made some arrangements for the others to dance with the children and females so that his uncle and the healer would have to dance together. Of course Thorin realised what Fili was trying to do but he agreed.
Thorin went to Fjola and asked if she wanted to dance with him. Fjola looked quite surprised but agreed happily. Then Thorin smiled shyly and they started dancing. It looked pretty awkward because Thorin didn't know how to behave around her. He even stepped on her feet quite often but Fjola didn't say anything and simply smiled. She suddenly felt happy and safe but didn't understand why. She had never felt like that in all her life and was sad when the dance ended.
Poppy, who had danced with and talked to he husband in the meantime, smiled at dwarrodam and asked her if she'd join them for family dinners more often. She liked her and wanted to get to know her better.
Thanks again for the follows, favourites and reviews! You make me so happy :)
I'm sorry that this is just a small filler chapter but I thought it was necessary until we finally get closer to Fili's coronation in the next chapter.
