Another story, its funny, sweet and all around great. Please enjoy!

It was midday and the company was making way in their quest. Some were starting to get hungry but Thorin didn't seem to care as he rode on looking ahead. Off in the distance looked to be a small village.

"Should we stop? We need supplies. Maybe we could do some trade-ins?" Balin's voice came from behind Thorin.

Thorin thought about it, it would be nice to get something better than the squirrel they got stuck with eating. Or even the duck stew they seemed to have daily. The stuff looked and smelt like something they would throw to the hungry dogs. "I guess we should."

At the village they found out it was made up of humans, a few children and a lot of elder folks. An elder woman had stopped Thorin to tell him about her hand spun quilts. "They are the best of the best! I made them myself." She smiled down at Thorin, she seemed to be at awe with him as he smiled at her trying to be polite. "I just love them. I make sure to put the very best goose feathers in them to make them as warm as possible. And I will sell you this one at half price!" She was so cheerful for such an older lady, her skin was very wrinkled. She had lovely blue eyes much like Fili. Thorin couldn't figure out why she was selling quilts, it was summer and a very hot day out.

Humans aged so badly Thorin thought as he look to the other elders that walked by. He was much older than them and he thought he looked great compared to them. He thought about humans eighty years old to dwarfs of the same age. Fili was about the same age as her and compared to her he looked great. Thorin knew he sounded mean and he even felt bad. The woman was just so sweet and nice to him. It was even a little creepy when she winked and ran a finger down his arm. "I am in no need of a blanket miss, I am terribly sorry." He tried to walk away but she started to talk again.

"Please think about it. Surely you know someone who is in need of warmth?" She blinked at him looking tired.

Thorin was starting to like her just a little bit better, she didn't know when to give up much like himself. He felt someone give him a tap on his back and turned around to see who it was. "Kili." He smiled at his nephew suddenly glad to see him in hopes of trading spots with him. Kili liked to talk and he was very friendly. A little shy at first but friendly, he would get the two of them to chat then sneak away. He shook his head he was starting to sound like his nephews which was strange. He needs to stop hanging with them. "Kili, this is Sue." He bowed at her. "Sue this is Kili my…"

But before he could finish she shouted over him. "Your son!? Ohh he's darling!" She looked down at the younger dwarf at awe much like she did with Thorin but different.

"He's not my so…." But just as he had started to explain she cut him off again.

"He looks just like you!" She looked Kili over smiling. "He's so handsome! And look at them cheeks!" She reached down grabbing ahold of Kili's cheeks as gently as she could giving them a squeeze.

Kili froze not knowing what to do. He tried to look at his uncle for help but Sue had a firm hand on him. "You must be so proud of him. He's so adorable! Just like his father but slightly yummier!"

Thorin looked to his nephew trying to hold back a laugh. Kili's face was turning a nice shade of red from embarrassment. When Thorin stopped to think about it he did notice a big resemblance of himself in Kili. But then again he should since all the males in the family looked alike. Fili looked a little like him but more like his father and mother.

"I just want to eat you up!" She moved her hand to Kili's hair moving his long bangs from his face to get a better look at him. "Wow. Your eyes are just lovely. They look much like a puppy's. How old is he?" She looked back at Thorin still kneeling in front of Kili.

"He's 76." He replied giving Kili a smug look hoping he would play along.

Her mouth formed an o face as she looked back down at him. "You're the same age as me! And you look so young." She ran a finger over his chin. "And look at the little scruff you have on that little chin chin of yours." She made a smacking noise looking Kili over. In human years she took it as him being fourteen or fifteen even though he was really eighteen

She suddenly looked up waving her hand. "Laverne! Come here for a bit!" She shouted to a lady that was walking by. "Look what I found!"

Laverne came over to stand in front of Sue. "A dwarf." Then she looked at Thorin. "Two dwarfs." Laverne looked almost as excited as Sue did when she first laid eyes on Thorin. "We don't get many visitors that come through here."

"This is Thorin." She waved her hand in Thorin direction then looking back down at Kili with excitement. "And this is the lovey Kili, Thorin's son."

Laverne bowed her head. "Nice to meet you both."

"Ant he just a doll Laverne!" The way Sue talked about Kili reminded Thorin of a kid who was showing off their new puppy they had found.

Laverne got on her knees. Clapping her hands together she said. "He is got to be the cutest thing I have ever laid my eyes on!"

"I know aint he?"

Kili stood there getting redder in the face but he didn't know what to do about the women. Then looked over at his uncle begging him to do something but Thorin just laughed.

Thorin would remember this moment for the rest of his life and he couldn't wait to tell Dis about it. She would laugh and make fun of her son about his cuteness.

Laverne stood back up. "Well I have to go. See you later Sue." She looked back down at Kili. "I hope to see you again one day little cutie." She winked at the dwarf as she walked away smiling.

Kili started to back away thinking Sue would not notice but she did and she grabbed his shoulders holding him in place. "Please miss. I have to go." He was beyond embarrassed and her touching him was making it that much worse. And it didn't help that his uncle wasn't doing anything about it. He was just sending him smug looks.

"What? You can't leave yet. I'm not done trying to sell your father a quilt." She said cheerfully standing back up letting go of Kili's shoulders. "I'll sell one to you for half price." Her eyes looked a little hazy as she looked down at Thorin.

"I'm sorry miss but I am in no need of a blanket."

Just then Fili made an appearance walking over to his brother with a smile on his face. He carried a small plate with crackers on it. "Want one?"

"OHHH! And who is this little one!" Sue's eyes lit up as soon as her eyes landed on him. "Another son!"

Fili looked up at the woman like she had two heads. "Can I help you?"

"Aww, and he's so polite!" She tried to get down on her knees to get a better look at him but she gave a cry. "Darn these old knees." Instead she reached down and gave the two a hug. "Not only are you to adorable but cuddly too!"

Fili tried pulling away she was starting to make him feel really uncomfortable. "Do I know you?"

She pulled away from them looking them over again. "Let me have a look at you." Sue turned her attention to Fili. "Look at how cute!" She grabbed one of Fili's mustache braids. "That is the funniest thing I have ever seen!" She laughed flicking it with her finger. "You don't look much like your father."

"You knew my father?" Fili said swatting her hand away from his face before she messed up the nice braid. It took him hours to make it look as nice as it did and he was proud of it. Looking was as all she was allowed to do.

"Well of course. He's right over there." She smiled looking back at Thorin. "Your boy looks so confused. It's sexy." She gave Thorin the look of adoration. "But not like you." She gave Thorin a little wink.

Thorin just simply smiled at her he thought it was funny when she flirted with his nephews, but when it was aimed at him it was a little creepy.

Fili looked at Thorin, that wasn't his father. "That's not my..." But before he could say it he heard Thorin sneeze loudly. He looked over at him about to ask if he was ok but Thorin gave him a look of silence.

She looked back at the brothers again. "I still favor you sweety." She patted Kili on the head ruffling his hair up. "Please come in and have a cup of tea with me." She gave Thorin a pleading look. "Maybe even a piece of pie."

"Pie?" Fili said looking at Thorin wondering if it would be worth it. He loved pie but he didn't know this crazy woman.

Thorin felt for the older woman she looked so lonely. And she looked so happy when they talked to her. "We would love to." Throwing a look at his nephews.

Kili looked up at Thorin like he had lost his mind. "We would?"

"Yes." Thorin bumped his foot on the side of Kili's ankle.

Kili looked back at the older lady. "Tea sounds great. Can't ever remember the last time I had any."

Sue looked down at her favorite new little guy in excitement. "You will love this tea! I came up with it myself you know." She turned and slowly made her way back in the house talking about her tea.

"What's going on?" Fili said at a lost. "Who is she?"

"That's Sue." Kili told his brother.

"She needs the company. And besides she adores you…my son." Thorin's eyes lit up as he looked at Kili and laughed.

"Son?" Fili was feeling like an outcast not knowing anything that was happening.

Kili filled him in as they stepped in the house.

Inside the house was quite small for a human's place. There were potted flowers spread out all over the place. The walls were an off white and the floors were very warn down wood. But even though the house was in bad shape Sue looked happy. On the outside that was.

The three dwarfs and Sue sat down at a beat up light brown table. "You know my husband made this table. He chopped the tree down sanded the pieces and put it together. All with his bare hand." She smiled as she talked about her husband. "And you know my son helped with the chairs we all sit on."

"You must have one lovely family." Thorin smiled at her as she nodded.

"Tell me about your family Thorin. Do you have any other children or is it just the two of them?" She took a small sip of her homemade hot tea as she watched the two dwarfs.

Thorin wanted to tell the poor woman that he had no kids but she looked so excited. She gave him her full attention. "I have no others." It felt so strange lying to the woman. But even stranger claiming Fili and Kili as his own. But they were his blood so it did fit to a degree.

"Aww, which of the two of you is the older one?" Sue looked back at the brothers her arm was on the table chin resting on her fist.

"Me." Kili said laughing trying to throw his brother off.

"You wish! I'm older. And much more handsome." Fili smiled smacking his brother in the arm almost knocking his tea over.

"You wish. Everyone knows I look the best." Kili said pride showing in his brown eyes.

"You two should be nice to each other. You never know when you might not see the other one again." She smiled sadly at the two of them taking another sip of her tea. A faraway look came into her eyes as she sat there.

Thorin started to look around, the place was dusty as well as messy. On the wall by the wooden bench was a charcoal drawing of a young man, smiling young woman holding a small boy. Thorin figured it was the old woman and her family. He was starting to wonder about her, she went from sad to happy in a flash. "Well we should be on our way."

The old lady got up from her chair and waved her arm over by her cooking area. "But I promised you pie. I just baked it, still warm and sweet."

"Dad, can we stay for pie?" Asked Kili.

Fili smirked at his brother, and looked at his uncle.

Thorin smiled over at Kili. "I guess we can. You can help with the pie."

"Ok!" Kili jumped up and moved over to the pie, as the old woman began to cut in, and put it on the plates that Kili held. He then carried them to the table and handed them out. He sat down and began to eat.

She began to pour milk in cups for the boys. "You should drink milk, it's good for growing boys. Makes you big and strong like your dad."

"Thank you, ma'am for the pie. It is very good." Said Fili who was smiling too, he liked the pie. Thorin was eating slowly, enjoying the flavor of the apples and spices. It was good. The old lady sat down smiling at her guests, it had been so long since she had men to feed.

The three Dwarves ate all the pie, at least the boys did. Thorin was content with one slice.

Fili stood up, and began to gather the plates, as Kili got up and took the kettle off the fire and began to pour it into the pan to do dishes. He added cold water from the jug beside it. He picked up a rag. "I'll wash, and you dry Fili."

"Ok."

They finished the dishes quickly as they sang. Thorin sat there smiling listening to their song. Sue smiled watching them. It was so nice to have someone help for once.

"We're done. Shouldn't we go?" Fili asked Thorin.

"Please stay just a little while longer. I still want to talk to your handsome sons. What does their mother look like?"

"Looks like our uncle's sister." Kili said smiling.

Fili laughed at his brother. He was still wondering why they were playing along to this old woman's beliefs.

Hope you all liked it. Please let me know what you thought, should I continue this?
