Alright, well I worked hard on this chapter to make it as cheesy as I could hope it doesnt disappoint anyone. Thank you to SiriusDancer for being the only one to review from the beginning to the end. I hope you like this one :)

The she elf has already left

I was sitting in a chair my elbows resting on the table. I rubbed at my forehead hoping to relive the pain I had growing in my head. Today was one of the worst days that I could remember involving my nephews. I lifted my head up looking over at my two nephews as I heard the bed creek. Kili seemed to be waking up, he had said something but it was too low for me to hear. I pushed myself up my muscles not wanting to cooperate.

I started to walk over to his bedside looking down at my oldest who was lying on the floor next to the bed. I shook my head, Fili wanted to stay close to his brother in case he woke up and needed anything. I walked over to the other side of the bed smiling down at Kili.

"How you feeling?" I asked him trying not to think about how funny his head looked laying in a bowl of nuts. I could only imagine how uncomfortable he must be.

Kili turned his head to look at me his eyes turning sad. "Go away."

"What?" I asked unsure if he knew it was me. "Kili, it's your uncle." I told him hoping to refresh his memory.

"Why are you here?" Kili asked me blinking slowly.

I didn't really understand the question, why would he ask me that? "Why wouldn't I be?"

"You left me…You don't care about me anymore." He told me, I could see his eyes becoming watery just before he looked away from me.

"How could you accuse me of such a thing Kili?" I told him, his words cutting me deep. I grabbed his chin making him look at me. "You are so wrong Kili."

"No I'm not. You chose this quest over me…..your own blood. But I can understand why." Tears started to fall from his eyes. "You hate me."

My eyes started to burn as I looked down at my hands. I was fiddling with the ring I had on my finger, spinning it around. "I do not hate you Kili. How could I ever? I helped raise you." I told him not looking up, I just couldn't bear to see him cry. It was one thing to see it happen when someone else was the cause of them but me? It's not like I could take a swing at myself for hurting him.

"I'm weak. All I ever do is disappointing you." Kili whispered low to me. He took a deep breath he released it his breath coming out shaky. "You don't love me anymore." Kili told me his chest shaking as more tears fell from his eyes.

The words that just left his mouth made my heart stop. How could he ever think that I did not love him? I haven't flat out told them I loved them, I only ever did when they were small boys. Maybe I should? "You are not weak Kili." I told him my eyes looking up from my ring. I looked him straight in his big brown eyes. "I'm sorry Kili."

Kili looked shocked. "For bringing me along?"

"No, if I could do this all over again I would have gotten you help sooner. Then none of this would ever have happened." I told him my eyes becoming watery. "I almost lost you….We almost lost you." I told him looking over the bed at Fili who was still asleep. I couldn't see that much of him and I hoped he didn't wake up just yet. I needed to have this talk with my youngest. I was never one for letting people know how I felt about anything. I was told at a young age to keep my emotions in check.

"Mother will be disappointed in me just as you are. You should just leave me here and finish the quest." Kili watched me to see if I was going to leave.

"I'm not leaving you Kili, this quest can wait. Fili was right, you should be there when the doors open. You have that right." I told him smiling at him though my sadness. My smile grew though when Kili smiled back at me.

I reached out brushing his bangs away from his face. "I do love you Kili. Don't ever think that I don't." I grabbed my nephew's shoulders pulling him towards me, I wrapped my arms around his back giving him a tight hug. Kili buried his face in my neck his shoulders shook as he started to cry.

"I love you too uncle." Kili told me his voice muffled.

I sat there holding him and scratched his head until he fell asleep. I felt stupid that it took my oldest nephew's words to make me realize that some things are more important than a quest

I was going to have everyone drink something bad and have them all fall over dead. :P But I wanted to be nice
