I'm doing a bunch of Zelda oneshots and two shots. I take requests and ideas so feel free.

Rain pattered on the grass, the stone of the castle gave a foreboding feeling to anyone walking by. The fire crackled gently in Zelda's room and she curles up again Link. "Rainy days are excellent for curling up with your loved ones." Zelda looks up at Link and her lips curl up in a smile. "Indeed." Zelda runs the pad of her thumb over the smooth gold wedding ring adorning her finger.
A soldier bursts in, panting he fixes his gaze on Link. "Your highness... majesty," a quick bow in her direction, "What's the issue soldier?" Zelda picks up on the subtle annoyance in his voice. "Several rogue twilight beasts have gathered at he edge of the town, none of the soldiers are equipped to deal with them..." it was implied, Link was the only one in known history to have dealt with Twili beasts.
Link stands, "Of course, I will accompany the soldiers to the border. Zelda sits up, "Link.. are you sure?" Link nods and leaves with the soldier. Zelda stand shakily and watches the rain through the window, praying the the benevolent goddesses to ensure
Link's safety... her husband's safety.
She opened her eyes and returned to the task at hand, finding Link. Though weighed down she ran at top speed searching the bodies for his. The battle had been a massacre, only Link knew how to fight them, the soldiers hadn't needed to be there, Link had taken them all out, she knew it and prayed one had not claimed his life.
She had found him, slumped against a tree. She knelt by his side though she couldn't tell where his wound was but she could tell he was dying. "Link.. no.. no no no no. You can't leave me.. not like this." A torrent of tears ran down her face. Link moved his hand and trailed his thumb down her cheek, "You shouldn't be here.. too.. dangerous, there could be.. more around.." His gaze flitted around the area behind her.
"Don't cry Princess.." His smile was pained. She drew him close and breathed in the damp air, "Help is coming.. hold on." She buried her face in his shoulder.. "Hold on for me."
When help arrived they discovered their queen, drenched and holding her consort to her. Her smile shook when she looked up to acknowledge the medics and soldiers here to save her husband's life. "Look Link.." she whispered, "Help is here." He did not respond, his body was cold against hers. One hand was gripped by her own, the other against her swollen stomach. Her scream of pain was one that it seemed the whole kingdom heard.
