Thanks for reading this far! Welcome to Chapter 5! Next chapter is the last one to this story 3 Please don't forget to review!


Zelda begun to tear, her heart breaking. "That...That irresponsible fool!" She rubbed at her eyes. "I should have known better." She balled her hand to a fist and slammed it against the stone wall, attempting to take out her fury on the wall. Instead her knuckles turned red, swollen from the stone.

She ran into her room, flinging herself onto the bed and crying into her pillow. "How could I have been so stupid..."

Moments later, Link entered from the balcony.

Zelda glanced to the balcony. "Get out."

"But Zel"
"Get out"
"Please..! Let me explain"
"You don't get it, do you? You think this is all a game. Link, Malon is pregnant because of your irresponsibility! I can't believe anything from you anymore. Get out, now!" Zelda clutched her pillow, burying her face into it.

"Zel'..." His bangs fell infront of his face as his eyes darkened with sorrow. Her head turned to him, mixed emotions playing across her face.
"I...I love you. Malon means nothing to me. Please...You're my best friend. You cloud my thoughts, day and night. You're always in my head. Zelda, I love you and I'll keep saying it and proving it to you until you believe me."

He turned and walked to the balcony, Zelda could have sworn she saw a tear brim at the edge of his eyelid. Link stood on the railing, aiming his hookshot at a lower tree and disappeared into the brush below.

Zelda snuggled close to her pillow, distraught and upset.

Link went into Hyrule Field, calling Epona to his side and then continuing his way to Lon Lon Ranch.

"Malon?" He called as he walked into the ranch. Malon was out in the corral as usual, tending to the livestock.

"Oh, Link!" She jumped, dropping what she was doing and giddily running towards him. "My love, how are you?"

Link frowned slightly, but nonetheless, acted joyful. "Hello, dear. I'm fine, thanks." He sighed and sat down. She climbed into his lap and sat on his leg.

"Malon...could...could you tell me what happened last night"
"You don't know...?" Her facial expression changed from cheerful to confused.
"No. I don't. That's why I asked you." Retorted Link, slightly annoyed.
"Why! We...we had a bit of fun?" She giggled once again but stopped when she realized he was being serious. "You don't remember anything"
"No. Nothing." He cocked his head to the side as she stood up. The sunshine reflected off Malon's hair, making it a brilliant ruby color.
"Link...Link. I...I might be pregnant with your child."

Link feigned shock, had he not found out from staying by Zelda's balcony earlier, he would have been blown over by surprise.

"I'm...I'm sorry, Malon. I just...I don't love you. You're a wonderful friend. I just can't love you." He said, taking one of her hands in his.

Malon was stunned. She took a step back and with her free hand, slapped him. Hard.

"I can't believe you. You're ridiculous! Taking advantage of young women! Some hero YOU are." Malon hissed, turning her back to him.

"Well, excuse me, but while I remember very little, I do remember YOU came onto me. You knew I was drunk just by the smell because I remember waking up to Saria and smelling like alcohol." Seethed Link.

Malon gasped. Link was right. She hated to admit it but she would never have had a chance with Link unless he was fully and completely drunk.

"Now if you'll excuse me, I have to put an end to this entire fiasco. Malon, I do not love you. If you really are pregnant, I will be a father to the baby." Link said, grumbling angrily at his mistake.

Malon sighed. "I guess I better fill you in on the truth, shouldn't I?"

Link's eyebrows perked up as he turned. "...What do you mean?"

"I'm not...really...pregnant with your child."
