Guess what, guys?

[It takes her a moment to smile, since Kíli's reaction is a little hard to decipher, but eventually she nods and smiles, her fingers curling around his wrist as she holds his hand to her stomach. Khagam is one of the only words of Khuzdul she knows, and she wasn't sure she pronounced it correctly; apparently she was clear enough to make her point.]

I am with child, yes. [She's not one hundred percent certain, but she hasn't had her monthly bleeding for at least three cycles now, and her waistline is expanding practically daily... All signs point to pregnancy.] You're going to be a da, my love.

[Kili stares for several moments, a smile tugging at his lips and unfurling slowly across his face.]

We're...having a baby?

[It's hard to wrap his mind around. Kili's fingers twitch against her belly as his face lights up.]

I-I...

[taurohtar]

Yes, we are.

[She leans in to kiss him, nuzzling a little against his mouth.] I'm having your baby. Happy birthday.

[kilimanjaro]

[Kili laughs, kissing her back fondly. His hands come up to frame her face and he grins.]

We're having a baby!

[taurohtar]

A baby, yes. [She can't help laughing in return, though this one is more at him and his incredulity than out of joy. She is plenty joyful, though.] I take it this is a good surprise?

[kilimanjaro]

Aye, it's...wonderful!

[He laughs and kisses her again, hard but loving all at the same time.]

How long have you known?

[taurohtar]

[She pushes up close to him, sliding her arms around him and cuddling in close.] A week, perhaps a little longer. Keeping it from you was almost impossible, the number of times I wanted to say something...

[kilimanjaro]

You didn't have to wait. [But he smiles and kisses her all over, her cheeks, nose, chin, lips.]

[taurohtar]

Yes I did. I wanted it to be a birthday surprise. [She closes her eyes and smiles as he drops kisses across her face, his stubble scratching her skin in the most familiar way. It takes little effort to coax him closer, tugging him over her so that she can use him as a living blanket.]

[kilimanjaro]

[Kili smiles brightly at her, adoring and fond.]

It's the best surprise I could have ever asked for.

[taurohtar]

[She lifts her hand to trace the edge of his smile with her fingers, feeling her heart swell in her chest.] Would you like to go tell your family the good news, or would you like to stay in bed a while longer?

[kilimanjaro]

[Kili is thoughtful for a few moments.]

Let's be selfish a bit longer. [He smiles, kissing her fingers.]
