~A/N Darila is pronouced Da-reel-a~

So you finally decided to come clean." Thorin said to his friend.
"I waited to long. You were right."
"B-Bofur?" Dalila said.
"Oh Dalila. I'm so sorry. Can you forgive me?" Bofur went to her side. She hugged him.
"You can explain later." She said.
"Of course. I'll tell you everything. Let's go get your things then you can come home."
"And you two, will explain everything else." Thorin said grabbing Fili and Kili by their shoulders.
"I'm the hero." Kili smirked.

~back at the Blue Mountains~

Dalila went home with Bofur, Bifur, and Bombur.

"And that's what happened. When your mother died I lost it. Every time I looked at you I thought of her and I couldn't take it." Bofur sighed.
"Why did you let Thorin send me away?"
"I tried to stop him. But I wanted what was best for you. I thought the Dack's were what was best. You had a good life with them."
"I understand. If my love died I don't know what I'd do."
"Fili?"
"Yes." She smiled.
"Fili is a good lad. He'll take care of you. And he knows just how crazy I am."
"If only Thorin would think like you."
"Thorin has his reasons lassie." Bombur said. Dalila smiled.
"What?" Bofur asked her.
"Did you really get bit by a goose and run through Erebor?" She smiled. Bifur and Bombur laughed.
"I got the egg!" Bofur said.

~at the Arkin house~

Kili and Fili just told Thorin and Dís what happened.
"You tried to kill yourself for her?" Thorin looked at Fili.
"Yes. And I'd do it again. I love her."
"I'll think about it. But what you two did was stupid."
"We did it because of what you did." Kili said. He had never talked back to his Uncle. He had a lot of respect for him. But this time Thorin needed to know how they felt.

"It's time I told you." Thorin sighed.
"Are you sure?" Dís said concerned.
"Yes." He sighed.
"Tell us what?" Fili asked.
"When I was your age, I was in love." He began.
"Back in the days of the orcs." Kili chuckled making fun of his age. Thorin glared at him. He looked down.
"Anyway, I was in love with a beautiful woman, Darila. She wasn't a princess or queen, she was a normal dwarf, like Dalila. I married her. We had a child. She was beautiful. Her name was Athina. But Darila didn't really love me. She just loved who I was, the heir to the throne. When Erebor was attacked by Smaug she left me for someone else. Took Athina with her. I don't know where they are. I searched everywhere. I still do. And that is why, my dear nephew, I do not want you to marry I commoner. I know Dalila is different than the others but I thought Darila was too."
"Uncle, I'm sorry. But the pain you feel now is the pain I feel now. Want. Need."
"Fine. You can marry her. But not yet. When you are 80 you can properly court her. It seems like a long time but it's the proper time. She'll be 76. The perfect age. If you really love her, you'll wait. If it's meant to be, you'll both wait." Thorin said.
"Uncle thank you! I'll wait! I'll wait forever if I must! Just as long as I know she will be mine!" He hugged his uncle.
"Go to her."
"I am!" He ran out the door.

Kili looked at Thorin sadly.
"You said her name was Athina?"
"Yes." Thorin answered sadly.
"Uncle I think I found her. One day when I was in the woods I found a family. I'm good friends with them now. Athina is married now. To a wonderful man, Simil. They have a little girl and boy, Thorgol and Gimnia."
"Take me to them...."
