[Tauriel has spent the weeks leading up to Kíli's birthday agonizing over what to give him; there is nothing she can buy for him that he cannot buy himself, and there is nothing she can craft that he cannot craft as well, and a hundred times more skillfully.
She has been feeling ill, as of late, which she had put down to stress as she tried to figure out what she could give him, until one day, as she hunched over a bowl heaving up what she had managed to eat at breakfast, all the pieces finally clicked into place. She has been growing wider in the waist, to her dismay, something Kíli had cheerfully put down to the rich dwarven food she'd been eating. She has been sick almost every morning, and tired and weak throughout the day, sometimes even requiring a nap midafternoon to recoup her strength. She has felt somewhat off-kilter, her innate understanding of her spirit slightly skewed in a way she had never felt before.
It all adds up to one thing: she is with child.
Keeping the news to herself until Kíli's birthday is almost impossible, but somehow she manages not to blurt it out until the morning dawns and she can roll over to wake him with a kiss.]
Rouse yourself, my love. I have a surprise for you.
