A/N) Things are going to slow down a bit. I will try to keep it interesting but I also don't want to rush in like I did at the beginning. So there will be some fluff, and some funny moments now with little story. But I think all of our heroes need a minute to kind of relax and be happy. There is too much stuff going on and they need a minute to unwind and just enjoy. That's what I think anyway. So yeah sorry if this isn't everything you want it to be! I need some calm moments! Enjoy! There is a very childish hero who is very curious on some things!
"Wow, this place is beautiful!" Kiehs said, looking around the underground fairy fountain.
"Isn't it? Oh, I love it!" Nay said happily. He was positively giddy, as he showed the fountain to Knil and Kiehs to ask their opinions. It's not like he would say no. The fact that he couldn't sense the fountain, was enough to prove he should have it to control the incredible power within it. Not that he was conceited, but with his piece of the Triforce, this fountain was perfect for him. Even the design was perfect.
Knil was walking around "Really nice looking place, Nay. Do you really like it?"
"I do! I will forever be indebted to Princess Zelda for this." Nay answered.
"Great! You have a fountain! Now, we need to get Anju to announce her pregnancy, and for Link and Sheik to get married." Knil said. They had made a list of things they needed to see while here.
"You think we could get married one day, Knil?" Kiehs asked his silver haired boyfriend.
He stiffened, and cleared his throat. "M-maybe. I mean, immortal beings have no need for things like that. You know I am forever yours."
"I guess. Anyway, Nay the fountain is beautiful. I'm so happy for you."
Nay ran over, and hugged them both "I owe everyone involved, including the Heroes of Light. This is all possible because of everyone!"
"How are you sure this is your fountain?" Kiehs asked.
Nay smiled, and walked to one the one of pillars surrounding the water, and dragged his fingertips across it "Because it told me. Bearers of the Triforce will be granted a gift. My gift is this fountain. Standing here, I can see, hear, and feel every living being stretched across the land of Hyrule." he closed his eyes "I love it. I can hear the happy fairies, and the laughing children. I can also feel those ready to depart from this land, and it hurts, but there is both life and death in this land." he sighed "Humans live to die, and be reborn, and I will be here to see it."
"Nay, that sounds morbid." Knil said.
Nay turned to face him "Shut up. I think it's beautiful!"
"It is beautiful. Without humans we wouldn't be here, Knil!" Kiehs told him
"Please, the hero will always be reborn"
"But he won't always need a guide. My existence is pure luck."
"I'd be lost without you."
"You guys are so cute." Nay cooed.
Knil blushed, and looked away "Shut up."
Nay and Kiehs giggled at his embarrassment.
"Hold on! Let me catch my breath!" Nolan yelled.
"Breathing is for the weak!" Anji cried out, rushing towards him.
Nolan stood up fully, and caught both of the kunai that were coming down on him. He was glad he found another scimitar in the weapons area, and currently, was dual wielding with ease. Anji decided to spar with him, and was a flurry of motions and attacks. Nolan caught both daggers in the curve of the blades, and pushed her away with a force that sent Anji flying.
The young Sheikah, in cat like fashion, landed on her feet. She scrambled up, and came running towards him again. She dodged a vicious thrust from Nolan with ease. She attacked, angry at how Nolan blocked her attempts to get a hit with ease.
"Anger will get you no where. Calm down. You already stabbed me once!" Nolan said to her.
"I'm not angry!" She said bringing a kunai down from above him.
Nolan threw the training blade to the side, and caught her wrist above him. He dodged the blade as it fell from her hand. He twisted, and pulled down, while kicking her legs out from underneath her. As she fell, he pinned the wrist behind her back, and effectively trapped her on the floor.
"I win, again."
Anji groaned, and put her head on the ground "Why can't I best you?" Her breath came out in heavy pants.
He let her go, and sat on the ground "Gerudo and Sheikah have a long bloody history together. My people almost wiped yours out. You haven't been training long, and you are doing well. I have been training since I could wield a blade. It comes down to experience."
Anji rolled onto her back, still panting "One day, I will beat you, Nolan."
"I don't doubt you at all." He grabbed his shoulder, and felt the blood "Next time, try to be easy."
Anji pulled out a red potion, and handed it to him. "Sorry, I let my anger take hold. I didn't mean to hurt you."
Nolan laughed. He drank the potion in one gulp "Yuck! I was pierced with a magical arrow," he lifted his shirt to show the scar "that hurt a lot more."
Anji pulled her cowl down to offer an apologetic smile "I'm still sorry."
"Seeing your face, makes it worth it."
Anji blushed "Don't say such things! You embarrass me!"
"Nolan, Anji! Time to get ready for dinner." Anju called out to the children.
"Coming!" They called back in unison.
"There you are!" Kafei said, walking up behind his wife.
She turned around, and smiled "Here I am. I was getting the children for dinner."
"I was worried about you."
"Kafei, it's too early to be worried about anything."
"It's never to early to care about my wife." He hugged her tight.
She giggled "I love you Kafei."
The children ran up, and Kafei saw Nolan's shoulder "Kids! What happened?"
"An angry Sheikah girl with a set of kunai happened." Nolan answered with a shrug.
"Anji. You are supposed to tap, not stab! If it happens again you go straight to practice weapons! This is completely unacceptable."
Anji hung her head "I'm sorry daddy. I let my mind get clouded by rage. It won't happen again, I promise." She watched her dad check Nolan's shoulder.
The boy hissed with pain, when Kafei brushed his fingers over it "Red potion didn't heal it fully yet." Nolan mumbled, embarrassed that he reacted to pain.
"It's too deep for potion. You're going to have to get stitches." He grabbed the tiny Sheikah by a pointed ear in a flash of movement, ignoring her cries of pain "You will take him to the hospital wing, and you get to tell Dr. Merit what happened!"
Anji's eyes grew wide "No daddy! Please don't make me do that."
"Consequences of your actions. March!" Kafei used his dad voice, as he pointed down the hall.
Anji was borderline tears, as she reached for Nolan's hand "Come on Nol. Listen, if she kills me, I want a regular funeral instead of a Sheikahn kind. I don't want to embarrass my ancestors."
Anju suppressed the giggle coming on "Such a mean dad! I think you made the right choice."
"She needs to learn that every action comes with consequences. From a simple spar, to an assassination job."
"Speaking of consequences, if Sheik and Link come back tonight, I would like to give out our little secret. Your daughter knows something is up."
Kafei laughed "That's my daughter. That's a great idea."
Anji got the scolding of her life, and was ordered to take care of Nolan until the stitches were out. Nolan was given a sucker, and pat on the head.
Anji glared at the smiling boy "I should have stabbed you harder."
Nolan laughed "I love you too. Want a lick?" He asked, offering it to her.
She stared at it, before tentatively giving the treat a lick. Nolan looked down the hall. "Dads!" He took off in a sprint, and collided with a green clad waist.
Link let out a squeak, grateful to the Gods that he had enough mind to cover his front half. "Hey. Are you alright? Heard you got attacked by an angry Sheikah girl."
"Yeah, I'm fine. I disarmed her, and immobilized her, for victory."
"That's my boy." Link said ruffling the mop of blonde in a blue cap.
Sheik walked over to Anji, who was nervously wringing her hands "I know you have probably already gotten an earful for your actions. So I won't chastise you. I will however, tell you to learn to control your temper. You could have seriously hurt him, and there is no excuse to hurt the ones you love."
Anji nodded "Yes uncle Sheiky. Daddy made me tell Dr. Merit what I did."
Sheik grimaced "You've been punished enough!"
The whole dinner table had the whole group present and accounted for. Link and Sheik talked about theit travels. Kiehs, Knil, and Nay informed everyone of the incredible power of the fountain. Everyone had a different story.
"And you Anju and Kafei?" Zelda asked with a smile. She loved hearing everyone speaking so highly of the land, and enjoying their time within the castle. Even Impa was enjoying having everyone there. They were all a big, growing, family, and it was nice. Anju stood up, and coughed getting the attention from the table.
"Now, that we have everyone here, Kafei and I wanted to tell everyone something." She took a deep breath "I'm pregnant."
There was silence as the words processed. She blushed, waiting for a response. Everyone started talking at once, but one voice stood out among them all.
"I'm going to be a big sister!" Anji cried.
"Yes baby girl, you are." Kafei told her.
She stood up, and walked over to her mom. She gingerly placed her hands on her mother's stomach "Hi there baby. I'm your big sister. I can't wait to meet you." She had tears in her eyes.
Impa did too "Another fine Sheikah child to add to the clan! Fantastic!"
"Anju, I will have my tailors prepare maternity clothes, and you will receive the very best care while here." Zelda told her.
"Thank you, Princess Zelda!" Anju said.
Link's eyes were lit up in wonder "So, there's a baby in your tummy right now?"
Sheik thought for a moment. He then realized, the child like hero had no clue about pregnancy, or anything of the sort. He had been in love with only Sheik for so long, so he never showed interest towards girls, and knew nothing of where children come from. Kokiri just kind of appeared. Sheik sighed, he would have to give his future husband the "talk" later. He just patted Link on the back "Yes, she is with child, and it's in her stomach."
"Goddesses...can I touch?"
Anju giggled "You won't feel much. I have to get bigger. But if you'd like to, sure."
Link walked over, reached out a shaky hand, and placed in on her stomach "Bigger? You are going to get fat?"
Sheik sucked in a breathe "Not the best phrasing there, Hero!"
Anju waved it off. She knew Link meant well "My body has to make room for the baby."
"Wait. How do babies happen?" Link asked.
Sheik was completely red, and hid his face in his hands. The hero couldn't have waited just a bit longer. He had to embarrass himself right now.
"Sex." Knil answered bluntly "Babies happen from sex."
"Sheik and I have had lots of sex. Is he going to get pregnant. He does play the woman."
At this point, Sheik wanted to crawl into a hole, and die.
"Hero, what did they teach you in the forest?" Kiehs asked.
Link shrugged "They don't have babies there. Just kids who showed up."
"Sheik! How could sex with him have been good if he's so inexperienced." Knil teased.
"Hey, I hear things, and learned. I just don't know where babies come from. If it's a girl thing, I wouldn't know. I was never interested in girls."
Sheik finally had enough. His face couldn't get any redder. Especially, while everyone around the table was trying so hard not to laugh. He grabbed Link by a fistful of blonde locks, and pulled him away.
"Ow! Stop Sheik! I want to feel the baby."
"I will be right back Princess, please excuse us."
Zelda was red faced from holding in laughter, and just nodded to Sheik.
A few minutes later, the whole table of people erupted into laughter as they heard Link's voice scream
"THEY COME OUT OF THERE?"
