Nine months later, I was pacing outside my house, my sensitive hearing caught my wife whimpering in pain. It has been nine months since the wedding. Ely was delivering my child. "Link, relax," Rusl soothed. "She'll be fine! Uli, Ilia, Myrah, and Anima are in there helping her!"

But why couldn't I be?

Growling, I crossed my arms and glared at the door. "I won't relax until I find my wife healthly with my healthy child in my arms." My glare eventually turned into a stare, and I waited patiently. Rusl and Neo stood right beside me, waiting for the news.

About an hour later, the door creaked open, and Ilia came out. Her face was strained, but she looked at me and her features lit up with joy. "A baby boy, Link. A baby boy."

Smiling and tearing up, I ran forward and into my house. (Which I had been rudely kicked out of earlier. . .)

I saw Ely sitting in bed, with a blanket bundle cradled in her arms. "How are you feeling?"

"I'm sore, I'm sweaty, I never want to go through that again, and I'm pretty sure I look dreadful."

Chuckling, I reached my forefinger down and the little baby boy grabbed it. His hair was a dirty blonde like mine, and his eyes were a stunning gold. "Even for this?"

"Talk to me when I'm reasonable again." She replied. Offering our child to me, she asked "Would you like to hold him?"

Uh. . . "I'm afraid I'll drop him."

She scooted over, and patted the spot next to her. "Sit." I did so, and she showed me what to do to hold the baby. When my arms were correctly positioned, she gently lowered the bundle, and I instinctively cradled it against my chest. "There's your son, Link." She kissed my cheek and lay her head on my shoulder.

I peered closely at my son's eyes, and saw flecks of red in his eyes. "He's so handsome. . . I betcha he'll be chased by girls when he's older."

Ely ran a slender finger along his cheek, and she looked up at me, gold eyes locking with blue. "What should we name him?"

Name him? That hadn't even crossed my mind!

I glanced around the house, looking for idea. "What do you think?"

She pressed her hands together, "Well, I want the name to have meaning. And I kinda wanted to name him after a good friend of mine. . ."

"Who?" Did I know them?

"Didn't I tell you about Kalle? He helped me save Cateline, and I wanted to honor him. But I don't want that to be his only name. . ."

"A name from you and a name from me?" I proposed.

"Yours first, because it's a boy."

"Caius." I declared after a moment of thought. "It seems fitting. Caius Kalle."

"Then that's our son. Caius Kalle."

When Caius was a few months old, we headed off to Castle Town to show Zelda and have the monk bless the baby. What we didn't expect to see was all of our friends from all over the world were there. Ralis, Ely's family from Cateline, the recently married Vaughn and Rennifer (now Re Vaughn and Regina Rennifer), The Group, and Hunter.

Apparently, plans were being made for their marriage. "You get to plan our entire wedding, and we don't even know that you're getting married? How rude!" I joked.

Zelda flushed. "It was a sudden thing, my apologies."

"Take it easy, you wouldn't want to be on the wrong side of your King, would you?"

"There's always Cateline." Ely snorted, Hunter glared.

"But do tell us about your baby!" Rennifer prompted, a bump just barely beginning to form on her abdomen.

Zelda brought us to a private sitting room, where Ely was told to sit on the velvet couch. We all gathered around, and I beamed at the attention my son was getting. Caius cooed, giggled and wiggled around in Ely's arms.

"Aww!" The women said, forming a tight circle around the baby. Ely took the small blue blanket that Uli made with Caius' full name and placed it in my lap. The baby was wearing a long, dress-like shirt.

"What's his name?" Telma asked.

"Caius Kalle." I stated. "But we just call him Caius."

"Aww!" Ashei and Rennifer gathered around to get a better look. The men were pushed out of the side, and we grumbled for a moment. I waited for about five minutes before striding over to the crowd of femme fatales. I stood behind my wife, and looked at Caius. He lifted his arms and cooed. I reached into the crowd and pulled my son into my arms to show the guys.

"Link!" Ely cried, turning towards me, clearly upset.

"He's my son too." I replied over my shoulder as I held the baby tightly against my chest. Hunter got off his arse in the fluffy chair, and offered it to me. I had a crowd of men around me, complimenting his fine features, saying he would be a fine warrior.

We all looked at the girls in unison, only to see dangerous looks that seemed so out of place on the beautiful features. "Link, give me my baby."

"He's my baby too!" I defended, holding Caius against me.

"Wrong move," Vaughn whispered.

"Link, give me my son."

I chuckled nervously. "Hehe. . . I love you?" She crossed her arms. "Oh, come on, Ely! All you ladies are so tightly knit that none of us guys can see my wonderful son!"

She sighed, and asked Zelda if she could have some tea. Within the next seven minutes, the girls were gathered around a table, having a tea party. Vaughn bid me to come on a walk with him. I wrapped Caius in his blanket, and took him with me. We stopped on a bench, and sat down.

"You're scared, aren't you?" I smirked.

"Terrified." He admitted. "What if she dies?"

"Is Regina Rennifer normally healthy?" I asked, remembering confiding my own worries to Uli.

"Yes. . ."

"Than she should be fine. Strong women are known to give birth to strong babies. That's why I have Caius." I looked adoringly at my son.

"But what if-"

"Vaughn, you have to understand that you have the best of everything at your disposal. You're a king for crying out loud! Everything will be fine."

And I really hoped that applied to the rest of my life.


Okay, if you haven't guessed yet, this chapter is told from Link's point of view. They have a baby boy named Caius, who will be narrating the sequel, once I write it. But don't count on it soon, because I'm currently working on two other stories as I update this one. And, this is the second to last chapter, the next chapter will be told in- drum roll please! *snare drum rolls by*- Kalle's point of view! Yay! He gets some love in the last chapter.
