Dakota's POV:

All the dwarves cheered as I pulled away. "I missed you." I said to Thorin and he smiled. "I missed you too. Now listen to me. We are going out there but you're staying here. There is no way out so this is the safest place for you. I will come back for you when this is over. Keep yourself and our baby save." Thorin said and I nodded. "I'll wait for you." I said.

The dwarves broke down the wall with the huge golden bell and ran over the bridge that was formed from the big boulders. I made my way over to a safer place in the mountain. I decided to go to Thorin's old room. I spent a lot of time there when I was young. When we were kids we used to play with toys and when we were a little older we used to just hang out. I knew it would take ages before the battle would be over. 

I was curious what was going on so I went back to the gate. So many dead bodies. I saw two figures fighting on Ravenhill. Thorin and Azog and by the looks of it Thorin wasn't winning. I saw some goats running around the battlefield without a rider. I quickly made my decision and pulled on some armor and grabbed my sword. I made my way onto the battlefield and slayed three orcs before I could get to a goat. I jumped on its back and I rode to Ravenhill. The eagles were slaying orcs and I also saw Beorn.

When I got there I saw Dwalin, Fili, Kili and Bilbo. "What the hell are you doing here?" Bilbo asked. "I'm saving my husband." I said and ran off. The dwarves and the hobbit yelled at me to come back but I ignored them.

I softly walked up behind Azog who had pinned Thorin to the ground. Thorin was trying to push away Azog's sword. Thorin was about to give up when I stuck my sword into Azog's back. I twisted the sword around and Azog stood up and turned around. I pulled my sword out and stabbed Azog again but now in his heart. All of the sudden I felt a searing pain in my chest. I looked down and saw that Azog had stuck his blade in my chest. Before he could puncture my lung Thorin threw him on the ground and stuck his sword in Azog's chest and he even pierced the ice underneath. Azog was dead and Thorin stood up. I looked at him ashamed. "I'm sorry." I choked out and I fell. Thorin caught me before I hit the ground. Dwalin, Fili, Kili and Bilbo joined us. "We have to get her inside!" Thorin shouted and I got picked up. My vision started getting blurry and before I knew it I was unconscious.

**********

I woke up in a bed. I looked to my right and saw Thorin sitting in a chair. He was smiling at me. "How are you?" he asked. "I'm okay." "Oin said that if you fight hard enough you should get through this. You do not have a punctured lung." Thorin said. "And the baby?" I asked worried. "The babies are doing great." "Babies?" I asked confused. "Oin found out that you're having twins." Thorin replied. 

"Kota, listen. I know Oin said that you should get better if you fight hard enough but don't continue when you feel like it's enough, all right? You are my star and I will always love you. Know that if you're gone I will look to the night sky and one star will sine the brightest and clearest and I'll know it's you. I'll know that it is my star, my own star in the sky. My own star that is shining in the sky and that will always return when the night falls. My own star that will follow me where ever I go." Thorin said stroking my forehead and smiling. "I didn't fight in the battle so I'll fight this one. Because I know that when it's over I'll have you and my two treasures as reward. I'll fight till the end." I said. 

"We'll move you in about two days. Everyone is rebuilding Erebor and our room is almost finished. It's the room next door. It's bigger than this one. Then they'll start making this room a nursery for one of the babies. The other nursery will be at the other side of our room." Thorin informed me. "Have the dwarves from the Blue Mountains come yet?" I asked but Thorin shook his head. "It's only been 5 days since the battle. I've received a letter from your father and he and Lindir are coming to Erebor for the wedding and the birth of the babies." I smiled. "That's amazing."
