Author's Notes:
I was pretty surprised when I saw all those positive reviews in my last chapter.
So much that I decided to write the next; just for you guys.

I pretty much forced this out though, and it may show.


After Lana had gone, Cia simply sat by Link's side and observed him, dreamily gazing at his pretty little face. Her heart was melting as she contemplated his adorable features.

But at the same time, all the bandages and the sling that held his arm tore her heart apart.

So did the fact that little Link didn't sleep peacefully. His fever, his injuries, probably both didn't let him.

"Shu..." hushed Cia softly.

Link, though not awake, stirred uncomfortably in his sleep.

"Everything is fine Link..." Cia whispered in a soft, warm voice, "Everything is fine..."

Link whimmered a bit, but then seemed to calm a bit, and Cia continued to silently adore the little boy before her.

After a while Cia started to feel cold. Since she had a slight fever that didn't need to mean much but since Link had also fever-

'I better add more firewood...'

With that Cia stood up and went to the fireplace.

She was still adding faggots into the fire when Link started to cry. At once she rushed back to his side.

"Hush Link..." she tried to calm him, "Everything is fine... everything is alright..."

But she didn't calm Link at all.

"Everything is fine Link really..." tried Cia again. With one hand she stroked Link's head, with the other she held his little hand, "I'm here Link, I'm here for you."

"Uh..." whimmered Link, "...u-uncle..."

"Uncle...?"

Cia waited quietly, but other than more whimmers Link said nothing.

After a while, Cia made to sit straight. But as she tried to slip her hand out of Link's he tightened his feeble grasp on hers.

That little squeeze shook her to the core.

After a moment, Cia tried once more to slip out her hand, this time a bit more force. Poor Link cried out in dismay and tried desperately to hang on to her.
Again, Cia was astounded.

"Shu... Link..." Cia cooed soothingly. She tightened her hold on little Link's hand and carressed his cheek.

"Don't worry Link... I won't go anywhere..."

She pressed a gentle, loving kiss on his forehead. Then she carefully slipped into the bed and gathered Link close.

"I'm right here... right by your side... I won't go... I promise..."

She continued to baby Link until she herself fell asleep...


Lana groaned in dismay and her eyebrows furrowed in annoyance.

'Not yet...' she thought sleepily, 'I wanna sleep some more...'

She threw her arm over her eyes. Although the sun's light rays could go through her eyelids, they thankfully could not go through her arms. That way, Lana could go back to sleep, whether the sun was up or not.

'Wait a moment...' something occurred to Lana, 'if the sunlight is strong enough to go through my eyelids than the sun must already be high up...'

At once she bolted upright!

"CIIIAAAAAA!"

I'm not sure, when I will be able to upload the next chapter, but I'll definitely try to get it out the chance I get.
