A Hobbit and A Dwarf

Birthday

It's been almost a decade since the big battle. I kind off miss The Shire and Bilbo and my brother. Maybe i'll take the kids. Days are never normal here, not since i gave birth to these amazing kids. We have four now. Still can't believe it. I get up from the bed and go to the kitchen. Not likely, i already smell eggs. I look at the living room, as usual Fìndar is cleaning his sword next to Volda who is trying to braid Erìn's hair while Merìn is being him. I hug Fìli from behind and blow to his ear.

"What made you cook, goldie?" I ask him.

"Occasion." He answers and gives a peck on my lips.

"Uh huh, what occasion?"

"Something special, i see you've forgotten days, brownie."

"Maybe, Merìn's been giving me more to do and he is four." I sigh.

*translation from khuzdul bc i can't speak the language and too lazy to look for it*
"Someday we'll be missing all this."

"I'm still worrying about that."

"You need a vacation. You never belong inside stones, brownie. I'll talk to Thorin and mum."

He goes back to his business and i set the table. Soon Thorin, Dìs, and Kìli join us. At first Thorin thought i cooked, Kìli tells him in whisper and everyone laugh. Not everyday we can laugh at him. We finish breakfast quick so we can settle all the problems and duties early. I still don't remember why. I get Merìn and give him to the kids' tutors and i walk away to the forging area. I'm used to the sounds and heat now. I look over a while and move on to the mining area. I walk over the edges and says hi to some of the workers. Dwalin comes and we talk about sending some jewels to Rivendell. Despite all the clanging and shouting, i hear a click. I search for the sound and a few seconds later one of the chains breaks, making the dwarf hanging on it falls deeper. Some dwarves try to pull him up but fail. I look over at the trail and see a lever far from the gap.

*translate from khuzdul*
"Pull that lever!" I shout at a dwarf. Still young.

He pulls it and the other chain stops moving. "Hold it that way!" I look down to see how deep. I shout to him to try to climb up. He did and in a few minutes he's already out of the gap.

I order some dwarf to check on the other chains and tells Dwalin to arrange the chains changing. This is the first time this ever happen.

Fìli's POV

Did i say it's Nili's birthday? I didn't. It's the kids idea and i gladly accept it. They are all rearranging the room and i am cooking her favorite food. Brownies. I put the hot cake on the table and go looking for her. There's a little fuzz around the gap where i found her talking to Dwalin. I smile and ask her to come with me.

I open the door, letting her to get in first.

"What is this?" She asks.

"Why don't you ask the kids?" I say before calling them.

"Happy Birthday Mum!!!" They all shout and run to her.

"Oh, i can't believe i forgot today." Then we all laugh.

We eat the brownie while she is looking at the presents. She looks very happy. Been a while since she looks like this. Full of energy again. Then Erìn puts flower crowns she made this morning to everyone's head. Fìndar tries to take it off. We all laugh and talk together. Then it's bedtime for the kids. We put them to bed and kiss them goodnight. We walk to our room. She bounces in bed and pulls me down.

"The brownie was delicious. Thanks." She says. The she kisses me. I kiss her back.

"Well, i haven't give you my gift yet."

"Thought so." She shows her show off smile and i laugh.

"I've talked about it to Thorin." Her eyes go all sparkly. "He said we can go next summer."

"Really? But there's a lo-" i close her mouth.

"I know, but you need this."
