Four years later

Val's POV

It has been four years since our children were born. They have brought more joy then I ever could ask for. I had just put the kids down for bed with a smile. Elenwè was the shy but creative girl but went along with anything that included her brother. Thror was a but mischievous but he was the kind of boy that would sit and think about things and ask a million questions. He knew how to make everyone smile and laugh. He looks after you if your hurt. I heard loud giggling down the hall as I went back towards the door. I opened the door quietly as the two twins were in Thrors bed hiding under the covers giggling.

"I know two little children that are supposed to be sleeping. " I ripped off the covers as they laughed and squealed

"We're not tired mommy!"

I smiled and he out my arms "give mommy a hug" they launched themselves into my arms as i relished the embrace. They were growing up fast and I couldn't do anything about it.

"Do you guys want another bedtime story?" As they nodded "which one?"

"Read about grandpa." Thror handed me the book as they sat in my lap. That's right. I had finished my journal and gave it to the kids as a way to see our past and to know who the dwarves were and more importantly to know who Thorin was. Soon Fili came in as he smiled at the sight of two sleeping children. He picked up Elenwè as places her in her bed and I Thror. We quietly tiptoe out of the room. To get some sleep for a new day.

I couldn't ask for anything else. I had everything I need.
