"So, how is the princess today?" Collin asked.
"She's all right," Link said. The two were walking through Ordon Village to the edge of town where Link and Midna lived.
Link had opened another portal to the Twilight Realm and after saving the alternate Hyrule, proposed to Midna. The Twili were pleased Midna had finally been married but they didn't know when there'd be an heir. That was four years ago.
Midna had been pregnant for the past few months. She was due any day now. She'd been in her beautiful wolf form since she wasn't sure if changing would hurt the baby. Link had taken care of Midna as best as he could.
"What're you gonna name it?"
"Dunno yet. We don't even know if it's--"
A sudden howl screeched from ahead of them. Link ran forward to the tree house. He leaped up to the landing, completely avoiding the stairs.
"Midna?!" he yelled as he threw the door open. Midna was curled into a ball on the floor. Her elegant black, orange and blue fur was dusty. "Collin, get Ilia! What's wrong, Midna?"
All Midna could do was whine as the pain increased. Collin and Ilia rushed through the door a short time later.
"Link, wha--" Ilia began. "Oh my-! You two boys, out now!"
"But Ilia-!" Link exclaimed with shock.
"This is not the time for a boy of any age to be here. Both of you out and close the door behind you!"
Collin grabbed Link's arm and dragged him out of the house, quickly closing the door behind them. The two sat on the ground and waited. Link's mind buzzed with different explanations of what might be happening. Maybe she was giving birth and something had gone wrong? Or the Twili and Hylian blood couldn't mingle together and Midna now had a creature of destruction about to rip through her?
Link's thoughts were broken by the sudden yipping of a newborn wolf pup. He looked at the door with hope that Ilia would open the door and tell him it was alright. But that didn't happen. A second yip joined the first. Then a third and a forth.
"Link...you were both wolves when she got pregnant, weren't you?" Collin asked in awe.
"Y-yeah..." Link replied. The thought hadn't accorded to him that while in wolf form, there was the possibility of a full litter of puppies—or children in this matter.
"You are gonna have your hands full."
"Wonderful."
The door opened at last. Ilia sighed as she stepped out into the sunlight. Link leaped to his feet but Ilia still wouldn't let him past.
"I must warn you, it's gonna be a handful," Ilia said.
"I don't care, let me in," Link replied.
Ilia nodded then stepped to the side to let Link through. He walked into his house and found Midna hunched over six newborn puppies. Each puppy had a different color combination in their fur. One was black and white, with blue tipped ears and tail. Another was black, white and yellow with pale cream Twilight designs along it's legs.
The next was white, green, orange and yellow. The forth was white with green splashes and yellow Twilight designs. Fifth was white with green fur down it's back and blue designs near the paws. And the last one, was white and green with orange tipped ears and tail.
"Midna..." Link sighed. He transformed into his wolf form. His fur was green, with white paws and yellow around the ears. He sat next to Midna and rubbed his head against hers. "They're all beautiful."
"What're we going to do with them all?" Midna sighed.
"We'll think of something. But right now, we should think of names for them."
"Shilen, Rolen, Feron, Leili, Nulia, and Meria."
"Which is which though?"
"I'll tell you tomorrow," Midna laughed. She set her head down on the floor and quickly fell asleep.
"Tomorrow, huh?" Link said out loud. He looked to his new litter of children. "Tomorrow is going to be a busy day."
