Congratualtions to MachineOmega for winning the contest and thanks for helping me come up with the idea. great job, and I hope it turned out well and is what you pictures it as.

Mipha's voice woke me up from my slumber. Something about it seemed different though, however I couldn't exactly make out what it was. "It's about time you got up sleepy head, you slept for quite some time now. I was going to let you sleep in more after the day we both had yesterday, but the children really wanted to go on their adventure with you this weekend. It was either me or Champ, and I know who you would rather wake you up."

I opened my eyes more and saw all the children, all of them were grown up though. Champ and Makon were over in the corner playing with some of his toys, while Ezili and Romani were both talking with each other on one of the waterbeds. "Mipha? What the heck just happened?" I questioned, trying to make sense of the entire ordeal before me.

"I guess having that big party to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of all the children hatching really took a toll on you, did it not? Well anyway, today we were going to tell Ezili about her true hatching remember?"

"Yea, I do," I lied, trying to make sense of everything around me, "can I get something to eat first though?"

"Sure dear"

I ate a hearty seafood skewer and went into my thoughts. What the heck is going on. The children were in there tanks last time I remember. Did I really space out for the first 10 years of my own children's life. I am a terrible father.

"...k"

Should I tell Mipha that I don't remember anything. No that will make me look like an even horrible person than I already am. What do I do.

"L..k"

I don't know. Maybe I could say…

"Link!" Mipha practically yelled.

"Yes dear?"

"Are you ready to tell her about it"

"I guess so. We should probably do it away from the other kids, just to gauge her reaction though. I don't want things to go badly."

"If you think that is what is best, than I will do it. I'll go call Ezili over and we can tell her in the other room."

"Alright"

5 minutes passed and Mipha and Ezili were sitting at a luminous stone table outside of the family's room. The open roof around the area caused the noon sun to shine down on our trio. I began to notice myself sweating. However, I was unsure of whether it was the heat or my nervousness, but most likely a mix of both.

"Honey, there is something that we need to discuss with you about," Mipha spoke.

"What is it mom?" Ezili asked in response. The sound of her voice made me jump a little at how similar it was to Mipha's own soothing tones. I don't think either of them noticed it though, which was good.

"You were not hatched normally like your siblings were."

"What?!"

"Dear, you went through a process which we call renascitur ante primogenito."

"What is that?"

"That basically means that you were considered to be dead when you were to hatch, but due to a various amount of nutrients in the egg, it gave you a second chance at life.l," I explained

"Really. That's amazing. I'm so happy that I'm here and was able to spend time with he best parents in the entire world. It makes me so happy to know this."

"And were happy that you are here too."

"Thanks you guys. You are the best parents ever."

All 3 of us hugged together. I was happy to know how Ezili decided to take the news l, even though I was confused with everything that happened. Even though I missed most of Exili young development, I was still happy to know she took the news well.

Later that night, we all had a big meal and proceeded to going to bed.

When I woke up, I noticed that I was the first one up. I saw all the tank in the middle of the room again.

"Morning dear," Mipha said almost making me jump 10 feet high. "Sleep well?"

"The kids...you...we told Ezili...big news...what the heck is going on Mipha?"

"Link, I'm pretty sure that you just had a dream."

I signed with relief. Everything I saw was just part of my dream and I was relieved to know I hadn't missed so much of my children's life.

We shared a kiss, embracing each others presence in front of all the kids. "You know one day they will shudder in disgust when we do this?"

"Yep. I want to enjoy it know while we can"

"Me too. Did I ever tell you that I love you and that you mean the world to me?"

"Yea, but I wouldn't mind you telling me again"

"I love you Link"

This chapter was really fun to writr, and I wish I could have gotten it out sooner but my schedule hates me.

Anyway this was honestly really fun to write, and I am pretty sure this is kne of my longer chapters.I dont know exactly what I plan on happening long term, so if you wany, feel free to leave suggestions in the reviews, and I will try to incourprate it.

Thanks for all your continued support and I am very thankful. You all have helped me get through some tough times.In the begging, with the earlier reviews I got, I thought that this fic was a lost cause, but you all with your continued support helped me get through, and I don't think it would be what it was today worhout all of you.

And with that, I am honestly grateful. Although, I probay shluld close out before the AN is longer than the actual chapter itself.

I just want to let you know that you all mean so much to me, and can't wait to see what adventure we all partake on next.

Until next time, Bye :-)
