Heeeeey~! I've decided to make this story! I'll have to leave for a while soon, so I'll try to update as much as possible. Until then, Enjoy!

10:24pm

He couldn't believe it. Everything had fell apart around him. He was angry, confused, and heart-broken. The fish-ape continued to angrily pace his room by walking on his fists. How could something like this happen to him? How did he not see it coming? He saw the signs, but refused to see them. He had blinded himself with love. Now look where that got him. Could it be any worse? Oh yeah...

Today was his birthday...

2:07 am, Same day

Link always woke up early. He used this time as work out time. He wanted to be in his best shape. Why? Susan. Link and Susan had married 9-months ago. Dr. Cockroach had made a small ring for her to wear that allowed her to switch between sizes. A few weeks after the wedding, they found out Susan was pregnant. He was going to be a father. Him. The Missing Link. He was getting in shape for her for after the baby was born. He wanted to be in his best shape when they were able to...get back in business. He also wanted to look good for his kid. He wasn't sure what the kid would look like, but either way, he wanted his kid to think he'd be able to beat up everyone else's father. Yet, he was also worried. What if he wasn't ready for this? What if he was a bad father/role model? He took a breath to shake away those fears. He could do this. He was The Missing Link. He was prepared for anything. He checked to look at his clock. 5:39. Maybe he should go check on Susan. They were expecting any day now. He quietly started making his way toward Susan's room. They would share a room if Link didn't need to sleep underwater. Unfortunately, he did. Thus, they still had separate rooms. Despite being married to one another. He made it to her room and silently entered. He could see she was still sleeping. He smiled to himself as he walked over to her form. She was small size. You could tell that by the way her ring was glowing a luminous green. He looked at her hand and frowned. Where was her wedding ring. He looked at her bedstand and saw it lying there. He shrugged. She probably didn't want to ruin it by sleeping with it on. He placed a small kiss on her head and chuckled as she smiled.

"Oh, Charles..." She mumbled under breath.

Link frowned. Who was "Charles"? Was it one of her old friends? He didn't recall her ever mentioning a "Charles". He saw her cellphone laying on her bedstand. Hesitantly, he picked it up and scrolled through her contacts. He felt bad about it. He knew he should trust Susan. Marriage was based all around trust, but he couldn't help himself. Susan could do much better than a monster. With her being small again, she could be with anyone she wanted. Yet, she was with him. He was a lucky monster. Finding no one in her contacts named Charles, he put her phone back. He felt guilty now. He should've trusted her. He gently shook her.

"Hmmmm? Oh. Morning, honey." She yawned as she sat up. "And happy birthday."

Link gave her a confused look and she chuckled to herself.

"You forgot your own birthday." She said. "Again."

Today was the day Link had been unthawed from the ice, so they had dubbed it as his birthday. Yet, every year he forgot. Someone had to remind him before they could all celebrate, but they always had fun when he was reminded.

"I can't help it." Link shrugged. "I didn't have one before I was frozen, so I'm just not use to remembering something like that."

"Let's go eat breakfast." Susan said as she got up to leave.

She started walking towards the door before Link stopped her. She looked at him confused.

"What's wrong, honey?" She asked.

"You're forgetting your ring." Link said as he put it in her hand.

"I'm sorry, sweetie." She flushed as she put the ring on. "I guess you aren't the only forgetful one today."

Link just nodded his head and said nothing. He followed her out of the room and into the common room. Even after being given their freedom, the monsters all stayed at Area 5X. They're fame had made it hard to go through town without being attacked by fans. Link didn't mind as much, and even enjoyed doing a couple of flexes for his female fans. Much to Susan's annoyance. Susan was embarrassed by the fame and the male attention she was getting. Much to Link's annoyance. Dr. Cockroach was frightened by his new mob of fangirls that were after him, and would hide behind a giant Susan who would run off with him. B.O.B. was oblivious and accepted his new friends. Insecto/Butterflyosaurus loved playing with the children. It just made everything easier to continue staying hidden. At least, until their popularity died down. In the common room, B.O.B. and I/B were eating breakfast as Dr. Cockroach was working on another one of his experiments.

"Hey, nerd." Link said as he sat down to his plate of fish.

"Be nice, Link." Susan said as she shoved his arm. "Good morning, Doc. What are you working on this time?"

"Morning, my dear." Dr. C greeted as he tore his attention away from his invention. "Nothing really. I'm just trying to fill my time."

"I would say you need a girlfriend, but you don't have enough muscle to woo the ladies." Link said as he flexed his arms. "That's how I got our dear Susie."

"Muscle isn't the only thing that impresses girls, Link." Susan said with a smile and a roll of her eyes. "In fact, girls are more impressed by brains than brawn now a days."

"Whatever." Link shrugged. "It doesn't matter for me now. I got the best girl in the whole wide world sitting right next to me. Without an I.Q. of...whatever Doc's is."

Susan blushed and giggled as she looked away. Dr. C rolled his eyes, but a smirk was evident on his features as he went back to working on his machine.

"I don't need a girlfriend to pass my time, Link." Dr. C told him as he pulled out a wrench. "I have enough on my hands taking care of B.O.B. Seeing that you and Susan are now going to have your hands busy."

Link and Susan laughed as B.O.B. sat by confused as to what Dr. C meant.

7:25pm

The day went by uneventful. Dr. C, B.O.B, I/B, and Link were preparing to leave to celebrate Link's birthday. Normally, Susan would go with, but being pregnant restricted her from going out drinking. Just as they were getting ready to leave, Susan pulled Dr. C to the side.

"Take care of him, Doc." Susan said. "You know how he can get when he drinks."

"My dear," Dr. C said with a laugh and a shake of his head. "I'll make sure he doesn't do anything he'll regret in the morning."

"I know, Doc." Susan said as she added in her own chuckle. "You alwa-Ugh!"

Susan toppled over clutching her stomach as she started to fall over. Fortunately, Dr. C was able to catch her before she fell.

"Susan!" He said franticly. "What's wrong?!"

"The baby's coming!" She panted as she doubled over in pain.

"Link!" Dr. C shouted. "Quickly! Susan's giving-AH!"

Susan began squeezing his arms as her contractions hit. Link needed no further explanation as he took off towards the medical wing of the compound.

"Quick! She's giving birth!" Link shouted to them. "Susan's giving birth! My wife is giving birth!"

The medical group quickly took off with a stretcher and went in her direction. They gently put Susan on the stretcher, but she refused to let go of Dr. C, much to his pain. They ran back with her squeezing the life out of Dr. C's arm as he quietly whimpered in pain. The nurses were able to pry her hands off of him and take her into a room. Link started to follow, but was soon stopped by a nurse.

"Let me go in there!" Link demanded. "My wife's in there giving birth to my firstborn!"

"I'm sorry, sir." She said timidly. "But you're going to have to wait. We need full concentration in there, and you being in there could cause a distraction."

"Oh, come on!" Link shouted angrily.

10:03 pm

Link worryingly sat in the waiting room with Dr. C and B.O.B. I/B was too big to fit in that area, so he was waiting for the news in the common room. They could all hear Susan's pained screams before they heard another scream cut in. They all instantly perked up. They could hear the young baby crying as the doctors hustled about. They exited the room one by one before one strode up to the monster group. He stopped directly in front of Dr. C.

"I assume you are Dr. Cockroach. Mrs. Link asked for you to come into the room alone." He told him before quickly walking away.

With a confused and slightly worried expression, Dr. C entered the room alone. Link stared after him and tried to catch a glimpse before the door closed behind him. Link paced the room back and forth. Susan only called Dr. C alone when things were serious. What happened? Was something wrong with the kid? Was something wrong with her? He looked back at the door. He knew Susan had wanted Dr. C alone, but he just had to know. It didn't matter what had happened. He would love Susan and his newborn child. No mater what was wrong with either of them. He opened the door and was met with surprised and scared glances. The doctor quickly left the room as he muttered something about another taking care of another patient. Leaving Susan, Dr. C, and the newborn child alone. The child was wrapped in a blue blanket. It was a boy. He had a son. He smiled as approached his wife and the bundle in her arms. It had all human features with a tuft of white hair on its head.

"He's bea-" Link started before the kid opened its eyes to look at him.

Link felt his breath catch as a pair of curious, amber eyes looked at him. Eyes that he had seen only one place before. He looked at Dr. C who was staring at him with the same amber eyes and a scared expression. He looked at him then Susan then the child before he dashed out of the room to his room.
