So deciding to end this story here, I love the ending of this, but I do also want to keep it going a little but I have literally nothing to write more about that can keep the story up. I may write some one-shots later that I hope you´ll like.

Chapter 35

"Where´s Thorin?" Bilbo asked Emilia.

"He´ll be here soon," Emilia said. "Or he´s in big trouble." Bilbo smiled and then they saw Thorin coming out of the Front Gate, having clothing in his hands. The Company stood outside to bid Bilbo Baggins and Gandalf farewell. Emilia couldn´t believe he was leaving; the Hobbit was part of them. But he had to return home some day.

"Master Baggins," Thorin said. "It´s shame to see you leave, but you has to return to your home."

"I will miss this place, the people and especially all of you," the Hobbit said to them. "All of you have to write to me, I want to know how things are going." The Dwarves couldn´t promise anything.

"I´ll write from all of us," Emilia said. The Dwarves agreed with that.

"You did not want the whole share of your gold," Thorin said. "Only two chests filled with gold and silver."

"That is not enough for me, or my Hobbit hole will be completely filled," Bilbo said.

"You´re a kind Hobbit, the bravest of them," Thorin said. "I do not regret having you with us. If you ever will come visit, Erebor will welcome you back. But there is something I want you to have, a kingly gift." He gave Bilbo the clothing and he wrapped it up, revealing a very shiny tunic. Emilia´s jaw dropped.

"Is that what I think it is?" Emilia asked.

"A Mithril shirt," Thorin said. "You´ve earned it, Bilbo Baggins and it is yours."

"This is- this is wonderful," Bilbo said. "I´m-" He cleared his throat. "Thank you, Thorin, well King Thorin now." They said good-bye for the second time; none of them wanted Bilbo to leave. He was giving a group of Dwarves to help them to the borders of Mirkwood, there they travel through it with help of Elves and then it will only be Bilbo and Gandalf.

"I will miss him," Emilia said.

"We all will," Ori said. "Our favourite Hobbit." Emilia smiled and looked at him. "He will be fine, right?" He asked Emilia.

"Yes, he will live a very happy life, well what I think," Emilia said. "And who knows, he might come visit us."

…

It had only been four months since Bilbo left and Emilia missed him quite a lot. She was walking through Erebor, a shortcut through the gold room to get to her own room for some rest. She then noticed Thorin there; she smiled but noticed he slowly touched a golden coin. Emilia sighed; he will never really get rid of the gold sickness. Even for her he tries every day. Emilia took her hand forth, letting her Elements fill her and over to Thorin without him noticing it. She could see him relax now and then left.

Emilia took one step and noticed she stepped on something. She looked down and saw a ring. "I didn´t see you before," Emilia said and picked it up. She kept staring at it and then she heard footsteps and quickly left the gold room.

…

Emilia was in Thorin´s study when he walked. She was writing in her Book of Shadow. Thorin walked over to her, planted a kiss on her head. "You were deeply missed in the Council today," he said to her. Emilia chuckled.

"I doubt that," she said.

"Well, all of the Dwarves did and actually few of the Men wondered where the Queen was." Thorin leaned on the desk, crossing his arms over his chest. Emilia looked up at him.

"Well, I see my reputation goes." They both smiled and Thorin bowed down to kiss her lips. He touched her growing belly.

"How are my two favourites?" He asked.

"We´re quite well." She touched his face, kissing deeply. "We have missed you a lot, you´ve been busy the past week." Thorin groaned.

"Sadly, what are you writing?" He asked and looked at the book.

"Our adventure to my sister." Thorin raised an eyebrow. "It´s about the Quest, and not the dirty thoughts you have." Thorin laughed. "I still owe her an explanation."

"Still? Does she still not understand we were meant to be together?" Emilia sighed and leaned back on her chair.

"We were not… Well, you were not meant to survive the Battle of Five Armies." Thorin squeezed her hand.

"It was meant to be, for I am here because of you." He touched her cheek and she placed her hand over his. "I am forever-" She made a frown. "Fine, but it´s true." Thorin had been saying quite a lot he is forever in her debt for saving his and his nephews lives.

"It´s my job, Thorin, as your wife and an aunt," she said. "And I will do it all again if needed, which I sincerely hope not." She went back to write more. Thorin took her hand and kissed it. "I love you Thorin and I do not want to lose you."

"You´re not, for we´re having a child now, nothing will tear us apart." Emilia smiled.

"You´re really good speaking like that," she said. Thorin looked at her puzzled, he then sighed. "Sorry, ruining a good moment and all!" She shouts out. She closed her eyes. "Sorry again for shouting…" Thorin only smiled and kissed her cheek.

…

Fíli stood up and began pacing back and forth. Stopping every once in a while to hear any sound coming, though he heard nothing. "Don´t worry lad, Emilia will be fine," Balin told him. Though it did not help Fíli for how worried he was.

"How long can it take?" Kili asked his mother.

"Emilia will be fine, she is strong, she has Thorin and the Elements on her side," Dis said.

"It has gone five hours," Fíli said. "Does it take that long to give birth?" Dis laughed.

"It took you ten hours," Dis said to Fíli. "And only three with Kili." Kili chuckled.

"How is she?" A voice came, making the Company jump of surprise. They turned and saw the Elf, Emma stand in the doorway to the room. She was soaking wet, water dripping down from her hair from the storm outside.

"Come," Dis said. "Warm yourself near the fire." She patted the chair next to her for her to come. "Everything is normal for a birth. I´m glad you could make it." Emma sat down on the chair, warming her hands. Emma sat right up and smiled.

"It´s a girl," she said.

"What?" Dwalin asked her. He sat next to Colina, the Dwarf lady Emilia got friends with, they were both holding hands. For the last months there relationship have taken another step, to the Dwarves big surprise.

"I hear her cry. Emilia and Thorin got a daughter," Emma said smiling. The door opened and there stood Oin.

"It´s a strong and healthy girl," Oin told them. They all were happy for the news. "It was a hard birth, but they both made it. Lady Emma, Dis, Fíli and Kili can comes closer. The rest of you can stand at the doorway." They all stood up and wanted to see the Princess of Erebor.

Thorin was holding his daughter in his arms, smiling proudly down at her sleeping form. Emilia lay in the bed, smiling at them. Emilia placed her hand on the little head. "She is so small," Emilia said.

"I´m so proud of you, love," Thorin said and kissed Emilia´s head. Their closest family slowly walked closer, smiling seeing the little girl.

"She is beautiful," Kili said. Dis took wet clothing over Emilia´s forehead.

"We are so not getting another one in few years," Emilia said. She was tired, exhausted, but mostly she was very happy. They all smiled.

"You two been quite secretly of the names," Fíli said. "What is her name?" Thorin looked at Emilia.

"Our daughter´s name is Ailia, after Emilia and my mother, Alannah," Thorin said. Dis began to cry.

"Ailia…" Dis said. "Her name is Ailia." Kili took an arm around her. "She is so beautiful."

"Is that red hair?" Fíli asked.

"I hope so," Thorin said. "She will be very beautiful, just like her mother." Thorin gave Ailia to Fíli. Fíli looked down at the small child in his arms quite worried. "She won´t bite."

"Not yet," Emilia said. Thorin placed himself next to Emilia, squeezing her hand. Ailia opened her eyes and looked up at the blond Dwarf. She took a small part of his beard.

"Oh, she is strong," Fíli said. "She will be a strong Dwarf, a beautiful one, every man will chase her." Thorin growled.

"Over my dead body," Thorin said. They all laughed.

"I do think Emilia needs some rest now," Dis said. Emilia nodded. Fíli gave Ailia back to Thorin and they all three left with the Company that stood with tears in their eyes at the door.

Thorin gave Ailia to her mother.

"She is perfect," Emilia said. "Our daughter, our little Ailia."

"Little Red Rose."
