The King's Wife (Squeal To TGKD)

[13] Just A Dream

 Thorin sat up fast and started breathing heavily. That dream whatever is was felt so real to him like she was really there. He looked to the corner and saw his daughter sleeping in the chair with a book in her lap. Getting up from his bed he walked over and picked her up and taking her to her room. He nor Sapphire have been in her room since Laci left. He didn't know why they haven't gone in there. 

"Good night my child. You have a big day in a couple hours. " After Thorin had put his child to bed he took off out of the house and went to where he thought his friends would be. He needed answers and he planned on getting them. 

Once he got to the training room he didn't hesitate, he just walked in. 

"She's here. I can feel it and that dream it just has to mean she's here." He looked up to see his friends gathered around a man. "Whats going on here?" 

"There's been killings Thorin. We don't know who's doing it but people aren't going to take it lightly." Balin said.  "But to your own matters, we can't keep it from you laddi. Seeing as your having dreams." Thorin gave him a look. 

"It wasn't just a dream, I felt her, she was real. She has to be here. " 

"She is uncle, she's been for a week now. " Thorin looked to Fili. 

"But you must listen to us Uncle when we say she is not the same. " Thorin gave his nephews a dirty look. 

" Not the same? How can you just say that?" Thorin was angry and he did not wish for his own family to tell him that his wife was not the same. But he couldn't deny the feeling that they  were right.  

"Tell me, what do you know. " 

As the company talked to Thorin and told him everything they have seen and heard from Laci or about her. The more he found how hard it would be for him to get his wife back, or worse get her back at all. 

"We need to do baby steps Thorin. " 

"Why don't we introduce Sapphire to her." 

"We've thought of that but she is still to little. If she says something she can scare her away." 

Thorin finally had an idea about how to get Laci to trust him. "I'll make her fall in love with me again." 

"It wasn't easy the first time." Balin pointed out.

"No, but I know she can feel me. Feel something, our connection is strong and she will see." Everyone looked to each other nodded. It was a good plan and they all knew it.

Laci's POV 

Today was the day. It was finally the day! I thought as I looked to my son. It was the second to last day here. We just needed to act like a family a tad longer. Then things could go back to normal with just the 'kids' and I.

"Well are we ready ?" Delin asked as he looked into the room. Nodding I ushered the kids out of the room and to follow their father. Nalain held on tight to my hand and Zelda was around her fathers arm. 

As we headed down to the hall, we past man people and I felt sorry for them. They all looked like they'd wish for hope. Man had dirty clothes others looked to weak to get up. It reminded me of my kingdom, only thing was if I tried saying something to the King. I might end up getting hit or worse.

As we walked, we were meant with a guard to sit us. We were sat more in the middle. It went Delin, Zelda, Nalain and myself. We weren't a family and I don't think we look much like the part. Delin talked to the woman around him and I just stayed silent. It was best if I did. 

Once the ceremony started I began to have headaches. Zelda would glance at me and see how much pain I was in, but I would always wave her off. 

"Now introducing Princess Sapphire or Erebor." Someone said aloud. Glancing up at her, she looked so familiar, like I should know her. Then her Father, King under the Mountain, My heart skipped a beat and I knew I needed to get out of there. 

"Dear?" Delin glared at me. "I need to take Nalain for some air." As I pick Nalain up in my arms, Delin grabbed one of mine. 

"Don't come back to the room tonight. I'll be busy." He whispered harshly into my ear, then threw my arm. Zelda also got up with us, she grabbed my arm and took me to the nearest balcony. 

"What was that?" She asked as I held Nalain close to me. 

"I-I don't know. My head was hurting so much. Then I'm freaking out, freaking!"

"I can see that! What's wrong." 

"That girl Sapphire! She looks so familiar, like I should know her! " 

"Maybe you've seen her in the halls." 

"NO! I knew her! Zelda what's going on?" Zelda opened and closed her mouth. It looked like she wanted to say something, but went against it. Suddenly a hand was place on my shoulder. 

"Easy Lass, I saw you leave and wanted to make sure everything is okay." It was the White haired Dwarve from a couple days ago. 

"Yes, just needed some air with my kids." I motioned to both of them. Then man suddenly found interest in Nalain. 

"How old is the laddie?" He asked. I smiled down at Nalain. 

"One, he'll be two here shortly." 

"Two you say." I nodded to the man. "May I?" I smiled and gladly let the man hold Nalain. Nalain would let me know if he didn't like the man, but he showed no sign of disapproval. He actually laughed at the man and started to play with his face. I smiled at the sight. 

"Thorin would be proud." Wait what?! 

"What did you say?" The man looked at me with a calm face. 

"Thorin would be proud, he cares much for families and he would be proud to see strangers from a different land still being a family away from home." I made an o shape with my mouth. He was lying and I could tell.

"Excuse me mom, yeah Hi, what are we going to do about a place tonight." 

"Don't you have a room to stay?" The man asked. 

"Yes w-" 

"Dads to busy with...........things to night and wants us gone. So now it's sleeping in the streets tonight." 

"You are more than wlecone to ask for another room." 

"No tha-"

"If you would be so kind." Zelda interrupted me again. The man smiled and past Nalain back over to me, only to have Nalain throw a fit because he didn't want to leave yet. 

"Meet me at the Hall of Kings tonight after the party. Then I'll have you stay in another room. " I nodded to the man, he smiled and left.

"ZELDA!" She started laughing. 

"Don't be so scared, gosh!" I chuckled lightly.

Balin's POV 

I saw her get up from her seat and leave out onto a balcony. With one look from Thorin I knew I needed to make sure she was okay. That I did, but I also got to meet the famous Nalain. The true heir to Erebor, they just don't know it yet. 

I was so in shock of him looked identical to Thorin that I said something I shouldn't have. After hearing about her 'husband' kicking her out for the night I knew this would be a chance to get her to see Thorin and hopefully have her remember something. But as of now I had a party I needed to attend.
