AN: Here's the last chapter!

"Da!" Tilda shouts in glee causing Fili and Kili to look up seeing Bard and Tauriel approaching them. Kili is still sitting up against the tree and Fili sitting next to him trying to convince him to get some rest with no success. Tilda runs towards Bard and gives him a giant hug, followed closely by Sigrid and Bain. Bard hugs them back in return, his eyes gazing over at the four Dwarves. Bard pulls away from his children and walks over towards Fili and Kili. Bofur and Oin stop what they are doing and look over at the approaching bowman.

"You kept my children safe," Bard says as he looks at Fili. "Thank you."

Fili nods his head. Bard's eyes shift over to Kili and Bard sees him sweat free and more aware of his surroundings.

"You're looking better," Bard says to Kili before turning back to Fili. "The people of Lake-Town are blaming the Dwarves for this. That if you never went to the Lonely Mountain the dragon, Smaug, would've never awakened and destroyed our homes. I must say…I agree with them."

Kili narrows his eyes at the bowman and Fili rests a hand on his brother's arm, having felt Kili tense up. Fili stands up and takes a few steps towards Bard, aware of everyone in the group watching them. Kili feels a sense of pride rise in him as he sees his brother walk towards Bard, standing tall and his head held high, an air of confidence wafting off him that no one can mistaken him as the heir of Thorin.

"What are you going to do Bard?" Fili asks, his mind going to his brother and knowing if they were attacked Fili isn't all entirely sure his brother will get out unscathed.

"I've done it already," Bard says, earning a confused look from Fili. Seeing the furrowed eyebrow from the heir of Durin, Bard continues. "You saved my children. I suggest you leave as soon as possible…unseen."

With this, Bard turns around and guides his children away from the Dwarves. Fili lets out a breath and his eyes shift over to Tauriel. Tauriel glances over at Kili watching them and then back at Fili and walks over to him.

"How is he?" she asks. Fili glances behind him at his brother and Kili furrows his brow at him, knowing they're talking about him.

"Better. Thanks to you," Fili says as he turns back around to look at Tauriel, giving her a sincere look. Tauriel offers him a small smile and tilts her head forward slightly. Tauriel looks behind her and Fili follows her gaze, seeing the blonde elf standing further away, watching them.

"I must go," Tauriel says as she turns back to Fili. Fili nods and Tauriel, with a last glance at Kili and giving him a smile which he returns, quickly retreats to Legolas. Fili turns around and walks over to the group of Dwarves waiting for him.

"We need to leave," Fili says and he helps Kili on to his feet, putting one of Kili's arms around his shoulders. Oin and Bofur stand up and the small group of Dwarves quietly disappears into the dark.

Kili stumbles and Fili tightens his grip on his brother and holds him up, his eyes darting to Kili's face. They were almost to the Lonely Mountain but Kili's strength was waning fast, his steps becoming more of a scuffle and he's tripping more and more. Fili looks in front of them and sees Oin and Bofur look back at them with worry on their faces.

"Just a little bit further Kili," Fili assures his brother as Kili scuffs his boots and trips once again.

"Maybe we should rest," Oin says causing Fili to look over at him. Kili shakes his head determinedly.

"No, 'm fine. We can rest when we get there," Kili says but there is no strength behind his words. Fili notices a group of trees nearby and he looks at Oin and Bofur and nods towards them. Fili leads Kili over to them and gently sets him down on the ground earning a groan from Kili. "I said I was fine."

"You always say you're fine," Fili replies, fixing his brother with a stern look.

"That's because you over react," Kili counters looking up at his older brother with a smirk on his face.

"Because you usually wait until its serious to even so much as hint that you're hurt," Fili shoots back with a scowl aimed at his younger brother. Kili sighs and leans back against the tree, not wanting to admit the relief at finally resting.

"I'll scout ahead," Bofur says before disappearing. Oin moves over to Kili and begins checking on his wound and begins prodding it.

"How does it feel Laddie?" Oin asks, his eyes glancing up at Kili.

"Better," Kili says, looking over at Oin. Fili raises an eyebrow and stares at his brother. Kili notices this and sighs. "I give you my word. It's sore because I've been walking on it for a while, but it's steadily getting better."

"Good," Fili says, dropping to his bottom next to his brother and leaning against the tree as well. "We'll rest here for an hour or so and then, we'll get moving again."

Oin nods his head and moves away from the brothers knowing they'll want to be alone. A few moments later and Bofur appears over the nearby ridge with a smile on his face and his eyes gleaming. He runs towards the camp unable to contain his excitement.

"I see it! The Lonely Mountain! And Dale! It should only take a few more hours to get there," Bofur says his smile growing bigger by the minute. A smile appears on Oin's face and he turns to look over at the brothers, his smile growing soft. Bofur notices and turns and looks at the brother as well, his own smile growing soft. The brothers are leaning up against the tree fast asleep, Fili's head turned towards Kili. Kili's head has slid and is now resting on Fili's shoulder.

"We'll give them some time to recuperate, then, we'll leave," Oin says and Bofur nods his head taking advantage of the situation and sitting down on the ground and sprawling back.

Fili, Kili, Bofur, and Oin walk through the plain; they had left their camp a few hours ago and now they were in front of Erebor. Fili stops, pulling his brother to a stop as well, his eyes wide with awe. Kili looks up over at his brother, wondering why he has stopped; his steps were getting slower again but he truly felt fine. He sees Fili's awe-struck look and he turns his gaze in the same direction as his brother's and takes in the front gate of Erebor. His eyes widen and his breath catches in his throat a smile beginning to appear.

"Fee…" he whispers, his hand squeezing his older brother's shoulder.

"Yeah…we're home," Fili says, his own smile growing on his face and he looks over at his younger brother.

"Welcome to Erebor Laddies," Bofur says with a grin and he and Oin begins marching up to the front gate, looking around for any sign of the rest of the company. Fili and Kili turn and look back at the Dwarven city gates and begin walking towards it. Suddenly, Kili stops and forces a swallow. Fili stops and looks over at his brother, furrowing his eyebrow in question seeing the smile fade off his brother's face and fear seeping into his eyes.

"Kili?" Fili asks, watching him and waiting for his brother to speak up.

"What if…what if they're not there? What if Smaug…?" Kili begins softly, turning and looking at his brother with pleading eyes. Fili stows his face and gives his brother the best reassuring smile he can. Truthfully, he is just as worried as his brother about this, but Kili is scared so he has to push his own fears down and assure his brother.

"They're not. I'm sure they're fine. Thorin wouldn't allow a measly dragon to defeat him," Fili says with a smirk that doesn't quite reach his eyes.

"But what if…" Kili begins but Fili cuts him off.

"Kee, Thorin's fine. I can feel it," Fili assures with determination, holding his brother's gaze until Kili nods his head. Fili squeezes his brother's shoulder and nods his head. "Good."

Fili begins leading Kili towards the front gates of Erebor, both of their hearts beating a mile a minute and the knots in their stomach intensifying the closer they get. Fili and Kili follow Bofur and Oin through a crevice made between two fallen statues in front of the gate. Once inside, the two heirs look around, their eyes widening in awe again. Even after the devastation of Smaug and the many years of being unoccupied, Erebor was magnificent. They can only imagine what is would look like back in its full glory.

"Fili. Kili," their uncle's voice is heard and the brothers shift their gaze down the hall.

Thorin is standing in the middle of it, a relieved look on his face. He hurries towards them, reaching Fili first and pulling him in for a hug, glad he is okay. They had seen the devastation Smaug wrought on Lake-Town from the mountain and Thorin was on edge ever since, wanting to go back to find his nephews but also not wanting to leave the mountain. Thorin pulls away from Fili and squeezes his shoulder gently offering him a fond smile, which Fili returns, relieved their words from earlier has not changed things between them.

Thorin's eyes flit over Fili's shoulder and he sees his youngest nephew standing and looking healthier than he did when he left Kili behind in Lake-Town. Thorin lets out a relieved sigh and he steps around Fili and over towards Kili. Kili watches his uncle warily, thinking he's mad at him. Thorin rests his left hand on the side of Kili's head and pulls him closer, Thorin resting his forehead on Kili's in the utmost sign of affection. Kili closes his eyes and smiles, relief flooding through him; Fili watches from nearby, a smile on his face and the scene.

"I am glad you are okay," Thorin says as he looks down at his nephew. Kili opens his eyes and looks up at Thorin, the smile in place. Thorin pulls away and looks at his two nephews. "You look weary; come and rest."

AN: Please send a review! Thanks for reading and keeping up with this! I will be doing another sequel to this one, but it'll probably be a one-shot about the siege. Thanks again!
