The Hobbit Preference Book

What if they found you when you're young

Requested by Martinuxita3111 ; What would they do if they found you when you are around 4-5 years old and take you in? With Thorin, Bilbo, Thranduil and Dwalin.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thorin; Softly he knocked on the door before entering. With his shoulder he nudged the door open, a tray in his hands.

Having two young nephews Thorin knew what children ate.

He had two slices of bread with some honey and jam that Dis had made. A smaller sized mug carried some milk. And a nice round, red apple adorned the side of the tray.

Carefully he sat the tray down on the nightstand.

You weren't awake yet. He didn't want to overstep any boundaries so instead of waking you he silently left the bedroom again.

It was only yesterday that he had found you walking through the forest, all by yourself.

Already he was determined to keep you and raise you by himself. You had told him yesterday, in very few words since you hadn't learned many, that your parents had died. Due to an orc attack. So what else could he do but keep you?

No matter what his council would say.

Bilbo; Right after finding you and hearing that you were left fatherless, Bilbo rushed all over town to organise things.

He had gone to the school to secure a spot for you. You could start the very next morning.

Also he had organised and paid for the schooltrip that would took place in about two months. Extra food was bought so that you would have more than enough food for all the meals. Your eyes had gotten as big as tea cups when you had looked at all the food.

Bilbo had looked on with a broad smile to see your appreciation for his food.

Now he just had to stop by the bookstore to get some children' books for you. No child could do without some nice stories before bedtime.

Somewhere in one of his rooms he probably had an old stuffed animal left. And more than enough toys to have you enjoy yourself for a couple of months.

Thranduil; You were brought in by his son, Legolas. He was on his morning patrol when he heard you crying. His team followed him through the trees until they found you.

A small note was attached to your necklace.

Anyone who found you was asked to take care of you. There was a small amount of money left in the bag that you held in a tight little fist. The note didn't say whom had left you. Only that they couldn't take care of you anymore.

Legolas brought you in on his arm. He brought you to his father.

Thranduil looked at you, his eyes widened. "Where did you find this child?" He rushed down his throne to take you into his own two arms. "So precious" he murmured.

"We found in a clearing, beneath a couple of trees for the shade."

Thranduil half smiled. "Don't think that whomever left them there thought of the shade for this precious child. They wouldn't have left them if they did." He stared at you. "You will be treated like royalty from now on. Like the light that you are."

A room was prepared for you, a new life of royalty awaited you.

Dwalin; "So... where do I put this?" Dwalin held a small wooden soldier in one hand and a big carriage in the other. He scratched the back of his head. "I think I miss-matched something somewhere..."

You cheered happily, running towards him on wobbly legs.

He caught you right before you fell. "Be careful there little one. We don't want you to end up hurt." He sat you down on his lap to play. "Mostly because Dis would skin me alive if I let anything happen to you."

Happily you cooed between his legs, playing with the small wooden soldier. You shoved him in the carriage and cried out in joy.

"Yeah, I'm not entirely sure he belongs there" Dwalin says, laughing.

Something suddenly growled.

The both of you looked down at your own stomache.

"How late is it?" Dwalin asked confused. He looked up at the clock on the mantelpiece. Quickly he got up, carrying you under one arms like he would carry an animal. "We have to hurry, we can't skip dinner!"

You clapped happily as the big dwarf rushed you down the halls to the kitchen.
