Krista Aya: Well, looks like I got another idea... I haven't seen a story that Zelda and Link had a kid together, but I've seen many with Malon... If there is one, I prolly oversaw it, but my apologies. Well, here it goes!

Krista Aya: Zelda isn't mine! So don't sue me, or I'll make u pay them cuz u sued me!

Zelda glanced at Link, who was staring out at the smooth lake. "Link... is something bothering you?" Zelda ask carefully. Link had been awfully quiet, as if something was on his mind. Zelda looked over at him and eyed him.

Link turned to Zelda and gave her a shaky smile. "Yes, I'm fine Zelda. In fact, I'd like to ask you something." He said slowly. Zelda smiled and nodded. "Zelda... Would you marry me?" Link asked her.

"Oh!" Zelda gasped. Link gave her a wavering smile and stroked her cheek. Zelda reached up and took his in between her own and smiled. He kissed her and she hugged him tightly. "Yes, I'll marry you Link." She said softly.

Wedding was set for two weeks from now. Everyone in castle was bustling. Zelda was writing the guest list and Link was going to deliver them. Link watched Zelda out of the corner of his eye, her hand moving swiftly over the paper.

"Hey silly, wake up." Zelda said teasingly to him. He grinned at her swiped her with a piece of paper. She squeaked and threw a paper ball at him. As they were playing, Impa came in and shook her head at them.

"You guys are going to spend more time playing than planning this wedding." She said, a twinkle in her eyes. They both stopped and grinned sheepishly. "It's Ok Impa, I'm done with the list and invitations." She said, gathering the stack of envelopes.

Link took them from her and kissed her forehead. "I'll be back soon." He said softly. He walked out and headed down the stairs and towards the stables. Epona was grazing on some grass out in the pasture behind the stables, so he went out and brought her to the entrance.

"Alright girl, lets go!" He said in her ear and urged her to go forward. They trotted out on the main road and once they were out of Castle town, he urged her into a run and they headed towards Zora's Domain. He passed out the invitations and headed towards Kakariko village.

He handed them out and rushed towards Gerudo valley. He passed them out, chatting with Nabooru until he saw the sun was setting. He headed back towards the castle when he saw Lon Lon ranch. He glanced at the last invitation in his bag.

He turned Epona towards the ranch, an uneasy feeling developed in his stomach. He and Malon had gone out for awhile before she decided that it wasn't working out between them. He hadn't visited her in awhile, but he had decided to invite her.

He jumped off Epona and looked around the ranch when he saw her enter the barn where the cows and horses were. He walked inside and shut the door carefully behind him. She looked up and saw Link standing in the doorway.

"Hi Link! How's everything going in the castle?" She asked cheerfully. "Everything's fine. In fact, I wanted to give you this." He said, thrusting the envelope in her hands. She glanced at it, then opened it and pulled out the card.

"Oh!" She said as she read it. "Your getting married!" She said with an excited squeal. He blushed and scratched his head. "Yea... We hope to see you at the wedding..." He said as he turned around and left the barn. He jumped on Epona and sped out of there.

Malon read the card over and over again and leaned against one of the beams that supported the structure. She sighed and shook her head, tears falling from her eyes.

I made that foolish mistake of letting you go...

All because I fell in love with another...

Malon glanced up as she saw heard footsteps outside and heading towards the barn. She turned quickly and wiped the tears away and started milking the cows.

One Year Later...

~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~

Zelda leaned back in her chair, brushing a lock of hair out of her face. It had been a tiring day, with the opening of the school for the young children of Hyrule. They had been running around, seeing the other children and their friends in the same class as them. Zelda smiled at the memory the children having fun on their first day of school.

"Hey, are you always in the clouds Zelda, or are you just brain dead." Came a teasing voice. She twisted around and grinned when she saw Link walked in, a small bundle in his arms. "So, how was your day with Calista?" Zelda said as she leaned over to look at the small face peeking out of the blanket.

"She behaved perfectly, and my, she has a curiosity streak a wile wide. She stared at everything that came by our way. I swear, if I didn't keep checking on her to see if she was hungry, she probably would have forgotten she was hungry!" He said with a laugh as he handed Zelda the baby.

"She'll make a beautiful little princess." She said as she leaned over and kissed the young girl on the forehead. Calista cooed at her mother's touch and Link laughed. "She is quite a gem." He said and he brushed her face with his finger. Zelda touched her small daughter's forehead and her face flickered with an emotion; confusement. She shook her head and smiled.

"Come, we better get going to bed, besides, I'm sure you two have had a rough day." Zelda said as she walked upstairs and set Calista down in her cradle. She kissed her daughter's forehead, then left the room and headed towards her own. Halfway there, she stopped and leaned against the wall for support. She shook her head, trying to rid the images, but they stayed.

A young girl with black hair had her back to Zelda, head bowed down and she stared down the valley. Zelda reached out to touch the girl when the girl whipped around, black eyes boring into her aqua ones.

"Who are you?" Zelda asked cautiously.

"You don't recognize me?" The girl said in a soft voice

"No, I don't." Zelda said, surprised that the girl was soft spoken, despite her menacing look.

"You will now…" She said as she reached out to grab Zelda.

Zelda took a step back from the girl and when the girl saw that, she pulled her arm back, turned around and jumped off the valley edge and down into the swift moving river below…

Zelda opened her eyes, gasping for breath as she tried to clear away that thought. She wiped the sweat off her face and shakily made her way to her bedroom. She saw Link was already asleep, so she undressed and dressed in her nightgown and climbed in beside him. She stared at him, trying to clear that awful flash from her head.

She slipped an arm around him and he rolled over and held her in his arms. She sighed and prayed to the goddesses that the flash she had was not a foreshadowing of the future.
