Wow, I just realized how long it's been since I updated this. I'm real sorry everyone, but I'm having a bit of trouble with a writer's block and stuff. Also, I've decided to make this story into a trilogy. I've also given this story a new summery. Check out my profile for more details.
Thanks to everyone who's reviewed so far, it's your constant reviewing and reminders that keep me writing this story. Thank you so much!
Anime Wildfire
Kari woke up a little while later, glancing around; she realized that she was in their bedroom.
"Lee?" she said, standing up, she glanced down at her stomach as it started to glow.
"As if you know where he is." Kari said, went onto the balcony and glanced down at the gardens below, looking for Lee.
"What are you looking for?" asked a voice; Kari wheeled around and saw Lee sitting on the outdoor couch, Kari walked over and sat down next to him.
"How are you doing?" Lee asked her, glancing at her as she sat next to him.
Kari smiled, "I'm doing fine, thanks." Kari said, she bit her lip and looked down at her hands.
"How long have you known?" Lee asked her, Kari looked back up.
"Only a few weeks, I found out while you gone at that neighboring kingdom. Right after you left I got worse, I had weird stomach pains and, of course, that blue glowing. Those first few days you weren't there, I was really scared…" Kari said, not meeting Lee's eyes.
Lee tilted her head towards his with his hand.
"Kari, I'm sorry I left you alone, I won't leave you anymore, I promise." Lee said, Kari's eyes glowed, and she smiled at him.
Her stomach suddenly started glowing, making Kari laugh, Lee just looked confused.
"What is that weird glow?" he asked, Kari managed to stop giggling long enough to say.
"That's our baby, for some reason, our child glows." Kari said; she smiled at Lee.
"You mean that glow is our child?" Lee said, Kari nodded; she scooted closer to Lee and snuggled next to him. Resting her head against his shoulder.
" I can't believe we're gonna be parents." Lee said, glancing down at Kari. She nodded,
"I know what you mean, when I first found out I was pregnant, I couldn't believe it. Of course, your mother was really excited." Kari said,
Lee grinned, "not a big surprise, she's been trying to get us to have a baby for a while now." he said, making Kari laugh. She glanced back down at her stomach.
"I thought of a name." she said, Lee glanced at her. "Zachary if it's a boy, and Leia if it's a girl."
" I like the name Zachary." Lee said, Kari nodded, "I thought you would, oh, and by the way, what should we call our baby until it's born? It feels kind of weird calling our child 'it'." Kari said, she stood up and leaned against the balcony.
"Well… we don't know of it's a boy or girl… so… we could call it a name for both boys and girls?" Lee said, standing up to join her.
"I want a boy." Kari said, raising her arm into the air.
"I don't really care if it's a boy or girl, I mean… I do care, but I'll be happy either way." Lee said.
"Then let's give our baby a boy name." Kari said happily.
"How about Zach?" Lee suggested, Kari smiled; she glanced down at her stomach.
"Zach it is." she said, she wrapped her arms around Lee's neck and rested her head on his shoulder. Lee wrapped his arms around Kari and hugged her back.
(I wanted to name their baby, and I like the name Zach, what can is say?)
Suddenly, something shocked Lee; he jumped back in surprise,
"Did you feel that?" he asked Kari, Kari nodded, and then she glanced down at her stomach.
Baby Zach was glowing, giving Kari and idea; she hugged Lee while glancing down at her stomach.
Just as she suspected, a light blue spark zapped Lee, making him jumped back again,
Kari turned to Lee, trying not to laugh.
"It looks like Zach gets jealous of daddy." she said, her hands on her hips.
"So he has to zap me for it?" Lee said, rubbing his chest where Zach had zapped him.
" I guess so." Kari said, giggling. She leaned forward and examined the spot where Lee had gotten zapped.
"Let me help you with that." she said, she disappeared inside for a moment and returned with a medical kit.
"Take off your tunic so I can see where he got you." Kari said, sitting next to Lee. Lee nodded and pulled his tunic off.
Kari grabbed a blue potion from the kit and carefully poured it on his chest, watching as the burn disappeared.
Lee sighed, "thanks Kari." he said, Kari smiled at him.
"No problem." she said as she disappeared inside with the medical kit. Lee pulled his tunic on just as Kari returned.
"Feeling better?" Kari asked, sitting next to him, Lee nodded. '
"Yeah, thanks." he said, glancing down at his boots. Kari noticed the look on his face and bent down next to him.
"What's the matter?" she asked him, gently stroking his cheek with her finger.
Lee glanced at her, "what's our kid got against me? All I did was hug you. How would that make him jealous?"
Kari looked away, a puzzled look on her face,
"I don't know what he has against you, maybe your mother would know? Let's go ask her." Kari said, she grabbed Lee's hand and pulled him into the castle.
Kari pulled Lee over to Zelda; she was sitting at the table with Link.
"Zelda? We have a question about Zach." she said, Zelda looked confused.
"Who's Zach?" she asked, Lee and Kari glanced at each other and blushed.
"Well, that's um… that's the baby." Lee said, blushing even harder, Zelda's eyes widened and she jumped up.
"You named the baby already! Oh this is wonderful! Do you think it's a boy or a girl!?" she said excitedly, Kari and Lee just stood there until Lee cleared his throat.
"Uh, mom, how about our question?" he asked, his arm on Kari's shoulder.
Zelda immediately stopped dancing.
"Oh, right, your question," she said; she sat down.
"So, what's your question?" Zelda asked, looking from Kari to Lee.
"Ok, a few minutes ago, Zach kind of… zapped Lee." Kari said, glancing up at Lee.
"What do you mean 'zapped'" Zelda asked, glancing back and forth between Kari and Lee.
"I mean, zapped, as in, he zapped him with a bolt of electricity." Kari said, glancing down at her stomach. Zelda looked surprised.
"But why would Zach zap his father? That doesn't make any sense…" Zelda said.
"That's why we came to ask you, neither one of us could come up with an answer." Lee said. Meanwhile, Link was sitting quietly in the back, and everyone jumped when he spoke in his calm voice.
"You say the baby only zapped Lee?" he asked, his hands folded in front of his face.
(Think, his elbows on the table, and his hands are folded in front of his mouth in that thinking position we all love.)
Link thought for a moment, "has Zach done this to you at all Kari? Has he done anything else?" Link asked. Kari shook her head.
"No, he hasn't done anything like this to me, only Lee." she said, Link stood up.
"Kari, I want to try something, I'm going to hug you and see how Zach reacts." He said, he crossed over to Kari and hugged her, with Zelda and Lee watching nearby.
And, just as Zach had done to Lee, he zapped Link, Link jumped away and smiled.
"Just as I suspected." he said as Kari scolded Zach. Zelda, Lee and Kari all looked at him.
"Suspected what?" Zelda asked, folding her arms. Link grinned.
"I think we have a very jealous baby here," he said, "Zach has zapped anyone who hugs or gets near Kari. And I think, it's because he's jealous that his mother is with so many people and is not spending time or paying all of her attention to him. That's why he zapped Lee when he tried to hug Kari, it's because he's jealous of all the attention his mother is giving his father." Link said, rubbing his chest where Zach had zapped him.
"Our baby zapped Lee because he's jealous of him? Does that mean he's possessive of me?" Kari asked,
"I'm not sure about that, but he seems to want all of your attention, and gets jealous whenever you give that attention to someone else." Link said, Zelda waved over a maid and asked her to fetch a bottle with some blue potion.
"So does that mean I can't hug anyone or even touch anyone until Zach is born?" Kari asked, a look of sadness on her face.
"No way Kari! I'll hug you even if Zach zaps me!" Lee said, Kari smiled at him, and then she turned to Link.
"Um, one other thing. How is Zach even able to zap people? That's not exactly a thing every baby does." Kari said,
Zelda took the bottle the maid handed her and turned to Kari, opening it as she said.
"Well Kari, you have to remember the prophecy, born to the heirs of the Hyrulian throne, the child will possess great power, even before birth. So it must be one of his powers," she said, pouring the blue potion on Link's burn.
Kari turned away, her chin resting on her shoulder, "I forgot about the prophecy," she muttered. Lee came and stood next to her comfortingly. Kari glanced up at him before wrapping her arms around his chest and hugging him. Lee hugged her back and rested his head in hers.
"He's not shocking him. Zach's not shocking him!" Zelda said, smiling, then her face fell; she turned to Link.
"Why is Zach not shocking him?" she asked, Link pulled his tunic on and said.
"My guess is that the reason Lee is hugging Kari is to comfort her, and why does he need to comfort her? Because she's worried about Zach, He's not zapping his father because his mother's thinking about him."
"Can you believe how smart our grandchild is?" Zelda said, smiling.
"He gets that from his mother." Link said, looking down at Zelda, Zelda narrowed her eyes at him and punched him playfully in the arm.
"Zelda?" Zelda looked over to see Kari, "what's wrong Kari?" she asked, Kari shook her head,
"Nothing's wrong, I was just wondering, did the prophecy say what types of powers Zach has?"
"No, I'm sorry Kari, the prophecy said nothing about what types of powers he'd have, only that he would have powers." Zelda replied. Kari nodded.
"I see." she said, glancing back at Lee. Zelda suddenly perked up.
"You two do know that we have to announce this to the kingdom!" she said, smiling. Kari's face went pale.
"Why do we have to announce this?" she asked, Lee stood next to her and wrapped his arm around her.
"Kari, the whole kingdom has been waiting for an heir ever since you and Lee got married." Zelda said, her hands on her hips.
"Besides, only the four of us know, we have to announce it sometime." Zelda continued, crossing her arms,
Kari sighed, "fine, we'll announce it, but we'll announce it tomorrow, agreed?" She said, Lee, Zelda and Link nodded.
"Agreed." they said. Kari nodded and started walking away. Lee immediately followed her, while Link and Zelda watched from where they were sitting.
Meanwhile, unknown to the four royals, three men were sitting in the shadows, listening, they had just heard the whole conversation the prince and princess had just had with the king and queen.
"Adver! Your plan has failed! The princess is carrying the prince's heir!" the shorter man snapped.
"You said you would get her out of there before the prince got her pregnant!" the taller man said,
The third man, Adver, turned to face them.
"Relax, I will get rid of the princess, and when she goes, she'll take her heir with her. As for the prince, losing his wife and his child will cause him even more pain then if it was just the girl. It'll be so painful, that he'll surly give in to whatever we say out of grief."
The two other men smiled,
"We should test your theory for a day, let the prince think his wife is gone, then return her in a day." the tall man said.
"No, that won't work." Adver said; he started pacing.
"Separating her from the prince will be difficult now, the prince barely lets her leave his sight." the short man said.
Adver stopped pacing and grinned.
" No, it won't be difficult, the prince and the king are leaving to go back to that foreign country in a few days, and the prince will have to leave her and his child behind."
The short man grinned, but the tall man frowned.
"But what if he doesn't go?" he said, Adver grinned again.
"That's the beauty of it! The prince can't stay! He has to go on this trip, for the sake of the kingdom." Adver said,
"But what about the sake of his family?" the tall man said, Adver turned to him.
"The prince wouldn't risk taking her with him, he's too protective of her."
"But what if he's too protective to leave her?" the tall man said.
"Don't worry, I don't think the queen would allow him to take her anyway. She just got a grandchild, the future of this kingdom is inside the princess, and if the queen lets her go, the people certainly won't." Adver said.
He grinned and started laughing, soon the other two men joined him. The three sank back into the shadows, still laughing.
That night…
"NO! Please don't hurt him!" Kari screamed,
"Then give us the child!" the man screamed back, he had a whip in his hand, and was standing over a bound Lee.
Kari looked down at the small baby she had in her arms; tears streaming down her face.
"Don't do it Kari!" Lee cried, them man kicked him roughly in the side and he winced in pain. But he looked back up.
"Kari! Get out of here! Go! Raise our child away from this place! And someday, I'll find both of you! Now go!" Kari looked up, tears streaming down her face.
"Give me the child or I'll kill him!" the man shouted, he raised the whip…
Kari's eyes jerked open and she sat up, breathing hard. Quickly she slipped out of bed and rushed out of the bedroom.
She headed down the hallway until she got to her destination. Her old bedroom.
Quickly she went over and sat on the window seat, still breathing hard.
Trying not to cry, she glanced down at her stomach, where baby Zach was still glowing.
"I promise, I'll keep you safe Zach," she said before she glanced out the window.
Meanwhile, in Lee and Kari's bedroom, Lee was stirring. He sat up and looked around, glancing to his side; he saw that Kari was gone.
Quickly he got out of bed and left the room, as he started heading down the hallway, her heard noises coming from Kari's old bedroom, it sounded like murmuring. Lee opened the door and glanced in the room, Kari was there, her knees curled up to her chin.
Lee entered and went over and sat beside her. He was wearing a pair of flannel PJ pants; Kari was wearing a pair of flannel PJ pants and a t-shirt type thing.
Kari glanced up at him as he entered the room, and Lee was happy to see her eyes light up when she saw him.
"Kari, what's the matter? Is something wrong?" he asked, watching her face.
Kari glanced out the window,
"I had another nightmare, we were both in it, and so was our baby. There was a man, and he threatened to kill you if I didn't give him our child. It was horrible… " Kari said, burying her face in her knees.
Lee sat down opposite of Kari.
"Kari… you don't need to worry anymore, I'm here, nothing's going to get you or our baby. I promise." He said, tilting her face up with his hand and gazing in her eyes.
Kari smiled at him; she leaned forward and gently pressed her lips against his before wrapping her arms around his neck.
Lee returned her embrace and held her tight. Thinking about the dream she had just told him.
"Oh yeah, Kari did I tell you that dad and I have to return to that country we went to a few weeks ago?" Lee said, Kari pulled away and looked at him.
"No," Kari said, "when are you going?" she asked,
"In a few days, and I want to ask you something." Lee said; he looked excited.
"What'd you want to ask me?" Kari said, curling into a sitting position, Lee copied her and said.
"Well, I was wondering if maybe… you'd want to go with me," Lee said, Kari smiled,
"Yes! I would love to go with you! When are we going?" she asked, her eyes shining with excitement.
"The day after tomorrow, mom and dad want to announce that you're pregnant tomorrow, then the day after that we'll leave. Ok?" Lee asked; Kari smiled at him.
"Ok!" she said, Lee grinned at her and stood up, he offered his hand to Kari.
Kari took hold of it and stood up. She was about to hug Lee, but then she remembered Zach, he'd zap Lee if she hugged him, so instead she took his hand and let him lead her back to their room to sleep.
The next day…
The people of Hyrule were all very excited, King Link had announced that he had some very happy news to announce about the kingdom.
Hundreds of citizens surrounded the stage in front of Hyrule castle, waiting for the king and the queen to appear with the prince and princess.
Finally, after an hour of waiting, Link and Zelda emerged, the crowd went wild. Link waved his hand for silence and glaced off stage just as Lee and Kari came on stage, the crowd went even wilder.
Lee took Kari's hand in his own and squeezed it, giving her look that said, 'this is it.' She smiled and squeezed his hand back.
Link waved his arms for silence once again and the crowd grew quiet.
"Good people of Hyrule, we have some very exciting news. Hyrule is now expecting an heir to the throne!" Link said.
There was a dead silence, then suddenly the air was filled with the sound of hundreds of cheering people. People threw hats and gloves, or what ever they were holding into the air, people cried and hugged whoever they could reach.
On stage, Lee and Kari smiled at each other before embracing, Link and Zelda stood next to them and watched everyone else celebrate, they had already celebrated.
A few minutes later the people were still cheering, so the four royals decided to make their way back to the castle, they needed their rest, for the next day was the day Link, Kari and Lee left for the neighboring kingdom.
I went back and read this right before I posted it, and to be honest, I wasn't really very satisfied with it. If anyone wants me to rewrite it, let me know.
please read and review! It may not seem like it, but reviews really do help me, they put me in a writing mood. And it only takes a few seconds as well, just write in a few words explaining how you felt about the chapter. That's all.
See you all later.
Anime Wildfire, (or if you prefer, you can call me A.K.S)
P.S. The next chapter to Link's hardships will be up soon as well, I'm almost done, and now that it' s the weekend I'll be working on it and a few of my other stories too.
