Just as with "Tying the Knot," I'm just going to post the disclaimer at the beginning of every chapter. I don't remember if I mentioned this at the beginning of the first chapter, but you probably need to read "Children of the Gods" and "Tying the Knot" before reading this. Anyway...

Darunia: Disclaimer! Selphie Louise does not own the Legend of Zelda or any of its characters. They are the property of Shigeru Miyamoto and Nintendo.

Tingle: The characters she does own are Selphie, Iggy, and Jiji. The characters of Kage, Yugi, Mable, and Raven belong to Kearra. The character Ravick is the property of Selphie's friend, Patrick.

Chapter 2

A few months later…

Selphie went downstairs and poured her glass of LonLon milk, like always. Not long after, Kage came down as well. "Morning," he said, wrapping his arms around her.

"Hmm," Selphie answered, smiling at his touch. "Sleep well?"

"Were you beside me?" Kage asked. She grinned. "Daisuki, Selphie."

Later that day, Kage was at the castle town with Iggy, doing a little bit of shopping. Selphie and Jiji were at the forest watching Mable and Raven. "You guys haven't been in a formal relationship very long," Kage said.

"Longer than you two were," Iggy answered.

"Yeah, but you're five years younger. You're not even nineteen, Iggy," Kage replied.

"But I've known Jiji all my life, literally. That more than makes up for it," Iggy reasoned. "The point is I know it's right, and I don't care how anyone feels but me and Jiji."

Kage grinned and clapped his hand on Iggy's shoulder. "And that is all I wanted to hear." Iggy grinned as well. "Now let's hurry up and pick out that ring." They continued about their business.

"So, how's the reproduction coming?" Iggy asked offhandedly when he and Kage had started back across Hyrule Field to the forest.

"Not well," Kage answered truthfully. "We've been trying for months but nothing's happening. I knew it would be hard but this is ridiculous…" he said, shaking his head.

"Yeah, but you're gonna keep trying though, right?" Iggy asked. The tone in Kage's voice made him think they were losing hope, which they very well might have been.

"I guess so," Kage said wearily. Iggy frowned a bit, looking a bit worried. "Hey, forget about it," Kage said. "Don't worry about us. You've got that proposal to think about," he grinned.

Iggy smirked awkwardly. "Yeah, I do, don't I?" he answered uneasily. He looked away as though distracted. Kage let out a slight laugh. "What?"

"You remind me of how I acted when I asked Selphie," Kage grinned, looking up at the path.

"How d'you mean?" Iggy asked.

"You're nervous," Kage replied, still watching the path. "Even though you know you love her and you want to spend the rest of your life with her, you're nervous as hell. You're afraid that as much as you care about each other she's still going to reject you."

Iggy stared at Kage for a moment as they kept walking. Then he smirked and looked at the path as well, "Yeah, but I ain't gonna run out on the wedding."

Kage glared at him out of the corner of his eye. "Yeah, but you all were more protective of Selphie. You might not have the same problem if you ran out on Jiji."

"What are you trying to say exactly?" Iggy asked, somewhat indignantly.

"I'm trying to say that I got the better girl," Kage grinned mischievously.

Iggy leered at him playfully. "Well, if you got the better girl," he said. "Then Jiji at least got the better guy."

"You really think so?" Kage asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yup," Iggy said, looking away haughtily.

"Heh," Kage smirked, and released a jet of flame at Iggy's butt.

"Gah!" Iggy exclaimed, trying to pat it out. Finally he shot an ice arrow at the ground and sat on the ice block it left. He shook his head and frowned, "Never fails to get old?"

"Nope."

"Bye, Aunt Selphie! Bye, Miss Jiji!" Raven and Mable called as their parents warped them out of the forest by way of ocarina. Selphie and Jiji waved goodbye. Jiji happened to look over near the entrance to the area and saw Kage and Iggy.

"Well, look who finally decided to grace us with their presence," she said, crossing her arms playfully and smirked at them. "It would figure they leave as the kids are arriving and then return just as they're leaving," she remarked to Selphie, who grinned.

"Hey, it's not like we planned it that way. It just worked out," Iggy replied, approaching Jiji and putting his arms around her waist.

"Yeah, yeah," she said, rolling her eyes playfully as he pulled her into a kiss.

"Get a room," Kage smirked as he took his place next to Selphie.

"Oh, hush," Selphie said, batting his arm playfully. "You just want some too."

"Very true," Kage said, kissing her cheek. She grinned, relishing in the moment.

Iggy and Jiji turned toward Selphie and Kage. "Well, I guess it's time for us to be heading out," Iggy said. They all said their goodbyes before Iggy and Jiji headed out to the their house in Hyrule Field, by Zora River.

Kage smiled inwardly as he watched Iggy lead Jiji out. "Good luck," he said to Iggy telepathically.

"Ahem," Selphie broke into his thoughts. He looked at her curiously and she had a somewhat suspicious look on her face.

"Huh?"

"So where's the stuff you two bought?" she asked Kage.

Kage stared at her confusedly for a moment and then realized with a start that neither he nor Iggy had bought anything besides the ring. "Er… they were out?"

She raised her eyebrow. "You don't honestly expect me to believe that, do you?"

Kage grimaced, shaking his head. He glanced over his shoulder to make sure Iggy and Jiji were gone before saying to Selphie, "It was supposed to be a secret, but…"

Selphie's eyes widened and she glanced off in the direction the other two had left in. "Do you mean to tell me that Iggy's gonna-?"

"Yup," Kage answered, leading her back into the house.

She caught him by the arm. "And you were helping him to pick the ring?" she asked him.

Kage blushed slightly. "Yeah, why not? I mean Iggy is never not in need of help, and… y'know…" The next thing he knew Selphie's lips were against his.

"That was very sweet of you," she purred. He smiled, somewhat embarrassedly, but rubbed her back. She grinned at him and gave him a nice, drawn out kiss on the lips. He smirked and scooped her into his arms, first making sure the door was locked and then carrying her upstairs…
