Chapter 2

Daddy's little girl

"Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!!!" .The excited yells of a toddler echoed through the hallways of the castle. Link smirked, hearing his daughter calling for him. She was trying to cheat.

He kept his hiding place behind the tapestry. Little feet scurried across the room. "Where are you?", her high pitched voice came. The little girl stopped dead in her tracks, seeing large feet sticking out from behind the tapestry. Growing quiet, she slowly tiptoed her way across the room until she was right alongside of it. With a quick pull, she revealed her father. "I found you!"

He laughed, picking her up and twirling her around. The girl squealed with delight from the height she was getting. "I'm higher than you!", she laughed, followed by a "wee!!". Her golden pigtails flapped around as they spun.

After feeling slightly dizzy, Link decided to let her down. Once getting on her own feet, Adah wobbled around in circles for a moment, trying to find her balance. Taking the easier way, she plopped herself on the ground until the room had ceased to spin.

"Come on, we have to meet mommy for lunch.", said Link, once again picking her up. Adah, being the little daredevil she was, tried to climb up his chest. Her destination…. His neck.

With repeated failed attempts, she spoke up. "Daddy, let me ride on your back.", she wined. Link smiled at her.

"Didn't your mom say it was dangerous?", he said, recalling a very angry Zelda. Adah stuck out her lower lip and gave puppy dog eyes.

"Pllleeeeaaaasssseee… I won't tell mommy if you won't", she pleaded. He laughed at her deal.

"Alright", he said, gabbing her by the waist and putting her to sit on his neck. Right then, he felt someone tapping on his shoulder. He turned to see Zelda, hands on her hips, and lips pursed.

"Uh oh!", Adah blurted. That didn't help the situation. Link smiled sheepishly as Zelda reached up to take the toddler.

"I told you it was dangerous.", said Zelda with a concerned tone. "She could fall and crack her head." Adah made weird faces, imitating that she fell and hurt herself, holding the side of her head. Link was distracted by this, and couldn't help but laugh.

Zelda looked down with slight annoyance. "So you think that's funny, Adah?" A light smile escaping her lips. The child nodded eagerly. She looked back up to Link. "Promise not to do it again?"

Link wrapped his arms around her waist, showing his famous smile. "Promise.", he replied, giving her a sweet kiss on the lips. Adah, who was sitting on Zelda's hip, scrunched up her nose at the scene.

"ewwww!!!", she squealed. Both of them laughed at her reaction.

"Come on, let's go have our picnic.", said Zelda, starting down the stairs. Link followed suit. All the way to the stables, Adah was chanting happily.

"Picnic, picnic. We're going to have a picnic!", she repeated over and over again. She stopped when it was time to mount the horses. Her eyes grew wide with fixation, when she saw Epona emerge from her stall. Her hands reached out to meet the horses nose.

"Horsie, horsie, horsie", she cried in joy. Seeing Zelda's white mare, now coming from it's stall. Adah squirmed to get from her mothers arms, so she could stand for herself. Zelda denied her pleads to get down due to the horses. Zelda had learned the hard way that they could kick hard a few years back.

"Who do you want to ride with, sweetie?", she asked Adah. She pointed to Link, who was already sitting on Epona. With a hint of reluctance, she placed her in front of Link. "Watch her.", she warned.

"I always do.", replied Link. Zelda always worried for Adah. Link thought she was a bit overprotective, but that was Link of course. "The fun one" as Adah would call him.

"Please, hold on to her tight. A horse is very dangerous.", said Zelda nervously. Link rolled his eyes. Everything was dangerous.

Off they went, speeding through the market and out into Hyrule field. Dozens of "wees" where heard from Adah, as they raced into the grassy terrain.

Once finding a perfect spot, under a tree, next to the stream, Zelda laid out a meal for the family. After eating, Link and Zelda rested under the tree and watched as Adah chased butterflies. Zelda was resting against his chest, enjoying the shade.

"She's wonderful, isn't she?", said Link, watching the girl giggle. He never suspecting having a child would bring so much joy into life.

"Yes, she is.", replied Zelda, finally relaxing, seeing no danger around for her to get hurt.

"Wouldn't it be great to have another?", he asked. She smiled at this. She always thought that she would be the one to suggest having another child.

"Link, how bout this time, you carry her in labor?", she joked. No doubt it was exhausting, she wanted him to realize that. He made a face, making her laugh. "Besides, she's only three. Don't you think that's a bit young to have a sibling?"

"Not really. I mean, she can really take care of herself, and even if she still needs us to do little things, I'm sure we can handle.", protested Link.

"Can it wait a year?", asked Zelda sweetly. Link couldn't argue with that. No matter how hard anyone could try, once Zelda made a decision it was final.

"Yeah, alright.", he agreed, seeing he was defeated. Link gently put Zelda aside to get up. A saddened expression came over her.

"Are you mad at me?", she asked, sounding as innocent as could be. Link smiled assuring her that he wasn't.

"Not at all.", he said. With that he left her to go scoop up Adah off her feet. Zelda watched the two play. He was chasing her around, but being careful to go slow enough so she could keep running. She sighed. "I guess she's a daddy's girl." Forming a smile onto her lips, she closed her eyes feeling the heat of the day.

Zelda and Link laid alongside each other on the bed of their room. Zelda was reading a book she had picked up from their library. Link, was trying to converse with her. Giving up on her reading, since someone had to keep interrupting, she placed the book on the bedside table.

A thought came to mind as she pondered back on their conversation earlier. Maybe she should change her mind about another child.

"Link?", Zelda asked with a smirk.

"hmm?" Link sat up in bed. When Zelda had to say something, usually it was long or important.

"I've been thinking about what you said today, and maybe it's not a very bad idea.", she said, grinning widely.

Link's expression now matched hers. "And??", he asked, interested in the subject.

"And, well it's been a while.", she hinted. "Would be fun…." She leaned over, gingerly kissing his cheek.

Getting the clue, he put his hands to her face, and held it as he kissed her passionately. Soon enough, they got caught up in each others presence. Zelda was about to remove a certain garment when the two were interrupted by a tiny voice.

As quickly as possible the two broke apart as if nothing had happened. Zelda looked up to the door with rosy cheeks. There, standing at the entrance was little Adah.

"Mommy?", asked the little girl. She was holding her favorite stuffed animal that she had since she was one. A teddy bear.

"Yes, baby?" Link couldn't help but smile at the situation.

"I had a bad dream. Can I sleep with you?", she asked, obviously upset. Zelda smiled weakly.

"Of course you can.", she replied. With that, the little girl gave a big smile, jumping onto the bed between Link and Zelda.

Within minutes, Adah had already fallen asleep. Zelda sat upright with crossed arms. A grin escaping her lips. Link watched her in deep thought.

"Didn't expect that coming.", she laughed. Link laughed along.

"Nope I guess not.", he said lowering himself, but rested his head with his hand. Zelda followed his actions.

"You know, she has your eyes.", she said looking down at the angel. Link smiled at this. She really did.

"She has your hair.", he pointed out, running his hair through her golden locks.

"Maybe, another time.", said Zelda, referring to the event they were about to have before Adah had came. Zelda leaned over, blowing out the candle on her side table.

"Maybe…."
