The Unknown Child {Hobbit Fanfic}

lmë Boe Au, Mo Rac Lé Ae (We Must Away, Ere Break Of Day) Part 2

I might have been wrong about "2 Parts" Maybe it'll be 3? We'll see! -bites lip- Who's POV to do this time? This has been incredibly hard you guys! - This story began "testing me" when Gandalf arrived at Dol Guldur. I had to ask my husband and mom for advice so many times, so credit goes to them on those chapters!
The reason for Back Tracking? - We can't miss out on everything now can we?
Part of me feels bad, the other half...not. Because Theia needed to see her bonded. And you guys needed to read that. As this part, too. Its tough. Very tough! I thank you again and again for staying with this story! <3
Question at the end!

Recap -

Thorin walked in front, Key in hand towards the door and put it in the keyhole.
once unlocked he pushed on the door, it was clear the hard-stone didn't want to open.

But, it did.

"Erebor..." He whispered.

Thorin, Amara, Company POV
Thorin's POV

"Thorin." Balin spoke, voice shaky.
I turned around and put my hand on Balin's shoulder, completely understanding his emotions.

"I know these walls. These halls. This stone. You remember it, Balin. Chambers filled with golden light."
"Aye, I remember." He replied.

"Amara, you and our daughter will get to witness the rebuilding of Erebor. Our home." I spoke, shakily.

I truly thought we'd never make it to the mountain on some occasions.
"Yes, we will love." She spoke, coming to my side.
The company filed in the hall one by one.

Looking above the doorway, was the Kings Throne, and the Jewel. The Arkenstone.

"Herein lies the Seventh Kingdom of Durin's Folk. May the Heart of the Mountain unite all Dwarves in defense of this home." Gloin read.

"The Throne of the King." Balin explained to Bilbo.
"And what's that above it?" He asked.
"The Arkenstone." Balin replied.
"Arkenstone..." He said to himself.
"And what's that?" Bilbo questioned.
"That, Master Burglar... Is why you are here." I stated.
Amara looked to me sharply. Why, I couldn't tell.

Bilbo POV

Balin directed me down a long hall,
"You want me... To find a jewel?" I asked, peeking down another hall that led to where the Dragon lie.

Balin nodded, hands on his hips. "A large, white jewel. Yes." He explained.
I looked down the hall with slight fear.
"T-that's it? Only, I imagine there's quite a few down there."
"There is only one Arkenstone." Balin stressed.
"And you'll know it when you see it."
"Right." I replied.
