The Dynamic Duo of Three Enters The Hobbit(Thorin fanfic) Focus on Cora

Cora's P.O.V

Later that day, I headed for the Shire,  and it only took me a day and a half to get there, because I didn't sleep much, for I was tensed up.

I was finally starting to realize how much Thorin's presence affected me. I was constantly looking around to make sure no one was following me.

Thorin gave me a sense of security, and without that, I couldn't sleep, because I always felt that someone was watching me.

When I got to Bilbo's house, he was surprised to see me.

"Cora! How are you m'dear?" he asked as we sat down in his living room.

"Very well. How about you?" I replied, smiling warmly.

"Perfect! Why, only yesterday I was sayng to my self... Cora, what's that?" Bilbo asked finally,  pointing to my hand.

"So someone other than Balin finally noticed. " I said, walking over to show him the engagement ring Thorin gave me.

It was silver with a giant sapphire in the middle, and smaller sapphires around the rest of the ring.

"Impressive. So, what made you finally say yes to Thorin?" Bilbo grinned.

"Well, he went to visit his cousin Dain, and I realized the effect on me that him being around has. While he was gone, I couldn't sleep because of the feeling that something bad was going to happen. Then I was wounded by a poisoned blade and he hardly left my side, so I was finally convinced that he loves me and not my looks."

"Sounds reasonable. Balin and I are the only ones who know?"

"Yeah, the wedding is two weeks after I get back. By the way, I have a letter for you from the King Under the Mountain himself."

I handed him the letter Thorin had given me. He read it before speaking.

"He wants me to be his best man? What about Fili? Or Kili? Or his cousin? Why me?" he asked thoughtfully.

"I don't know, but you can ask him your self,  because you are coming back to Erebor with me. I will tie you to a horse if I have to." I laughed.

"I was planning on coming anyway, with the wedding due for two weeks after you return. How long are we staying?"

"We could head back any time we want. I came to visit you, tell you about the wedding, and give you the letter."

"The we will leave tomorrow,  especially if you still need to pick bridesmaids and the maid of honor. Knowing you, you do."

"Sadly, yes, I do. We only got engaged three days ago."

"Anyway,  he probably misses you."

We left the next morning.

Thorin's P.O.V

Dain, for some reason, wanted to talk to me.

"Thorin, when's the wedding?" he asked.

"How did you-" I started.

"I saw the ring before she left."

"Well, it'll be two weeks after she gets back."

"Ok. Do you have a best man yet?"

"I don't know.  Cora will bring the answer with her."

"Ok."

"Ko."

"What?"

"You don't want to know. If you really want to know, ask my fiance."
