I do not own Zelda, Sadly

Link, the hero of time, let out a tired sigh as he climbed into bed next to his wife, Malon. The red head was already fast asleep since Link had come home late from patrol at the castle again. Link looked at her sadly as he cuddled close. It had been about a year now since she had given birth to their little baby girl, Linkle. She was a stillborn.

Now, Link was too scared to try again. He gave a quiet, frustrated sigh. Funny, huh? The Hero of Time, the link between universes, and the hero to not one, but two worlds. And yet… He was scared… Malon had almost…

He pinched his eyes shut, trying to not think about it. Soon, his exhausted body finally gave in to the dark folds of a restless sleep.

It didn't seem long though, when he was awoken by a bright light and loud noise coming from outside. Malon sat up, eyes wide, "What's going on?!"

"Stay here!" Link ordered as he grabbed his sword and ran outside. He shielded his eyes from the bright light until it seemed to finally die down and disappear, along with the wind and blaring noise.

Link lowered his hand from his eyes and lifted his sword. He froze when seeing three, young children that looked… eerily like him.

One looked about 9 or 10, another about 6, and the other one HAD to be 3 or 4 at the most. The three year old had very blonde hair and the other two had more sondy-brown hair. All of them had piercing blue eyes.

Malon came out, totally like Link had told her NOT to, and gasped when seeing the young boys, "Why, hello! Who are you three?"

They only stood there quietly and looked at each other before looking around. She hummed, they reminded her so much of her husband with those curious eyes and few words. She knelt down, "Where are your parents?"

All three of them shrugged at the same time. She hummed as she picked up the youngest one, "Well, what are your guys' names?"

They were only silent and the oldest shrugged, "I don't know…" the six year old shrugged also. Malon grew more concerned as she cupped the 9-year-old's face and then the 6-year-old's.

"Darling…" She started as she looked at Link. He nodded and she smiled down at the boys gently, "Well, you three can stay with us for as long as needed… Hyrule isn't a safe place for three little kids at night, after all."

The boys, though still wary of the older man that had a nasty scar over his left eye, but they liked the lady with red hair. They smiled and nodded as they followed her inside. Link following right after them.

Malon grabbed a damp rag and began washing their faces, arms, legs, and feet before leading them to the room that was meant to be the nursery for their baby girl. She laid the already drowsy 3-year-old into the playpen before setting up makeshift beds on the floor for the other two, with the help of Link.

With a kiss on each of their heads, the very motherly-like red head headed for the door, "Our room is just next door… Don't be afraid to come get us if you need anything. And don't go outside."

The eldest nodded as he helped the 6-year-old under the covers.

Once the door closed, Malon turned to her husband, "Why do they all look like you?"

Link wish he had an answer to that…

Feel free to guess which other links I used for this fic! It will be revealed in the next chapter that will (hopefully) come out soon! Also, feel free to leave thoughts or ideas for future chapters!

Alex Out! Peace!
