Dark Secret
Disclaimer: I don't own Zelda. Wish I did and but I do own Aaron, Lunard, Karina, Relin, Nohan, Saori, Alan, Melora, Kara, Khatiti, and everyone else.
SUMMARY: I don't really have to put this but I feel like putting it. Lunard found out about Zelda and Aaron and their upcoming child. Zelda and Aaron had a small argument about Lunard not able to keep it a secret. They settled down and then they decided to think up a name. Relin, the child's name would be Relin which is the name of Chapter 8.
I updated yesterday but I feel so anxious to carry on so I will. Hope you enjoy this chapter and please review!
Nohan shrugged. "I guess nothing was wrong. I was just so frightened. Because of those two." He said bowing his head for being so stupid. Nohan sat down in the chair again with Alan looking at him, dusting off his cape.
"What did you think was wrong?" Alan asked sitting down next to Nohan in another chair.
"Zelda has been so weird lately. Actually she acted like what my mother described to me when she was pregnant with Zelda. She said she was always moody and, well just like what Zelda's doing!" Nohan sighed and rested his head on his palm with his elbow resting on the dining table.
"Come to think of it, yes. In the few moments I've seen her, she is acting a little like my wife when she was pregnant with Saori. Do you think she's pregnant, Prince Nohan?" Alan asked thinking back to his wife that was gone somewhere, far.
"Please, just Nohan. Yes. For some reason I do. She is quite big, but the question is who made her pregnant?" Nohan said but he just shrugged
"I don't know. Say, lets go to the market place and have a few drinks, what do yah say?" Alan asked knocking his elbow at Nohan's shoulder blade.
"Why not? What could it do? Actually come to think of it. If I remember right I heard Zelda and Aaron talking down here when I was upstairs. Do you think, them?" Nohan said, standing up, making his chair fall back. "It can't be! Aaron and Zelda! Maybe that's why they always argue at each other! They act like an old married couple! Maybe they're together! Good goddess!" Nohan shouted holding his forehead.
"Settle down, Nohan. I'm sure there would be a good explanation. Lets just forget about it and go down to the pub and have a few drinks." Alan said trying to take Nohan's mind off the subject.
"But them! You have got to be kidding me! Them, both of them! That isn't right!" Nohan shouted turning around to look at Alan. "It isn't right! I mean… I don't love anybody, why does Zelda get to love somebody, and not me?" he shouted.
"Because she's older?" Alan said, feeling a little surprised on the reason why he was angry.
"It isn't fair! At least give me a girlfriend or something! Then it would be fair and I won't care what they do. I wouldn't care at all!" Nohan shouted, gritting his teeth and foolish anger.
"And I'm not your girlfriend, yet, Prince Nohan?" a soft voice said at the door. Nohan spun around and saw a woman leaning against the wall, smiling at him. The woman has long blue hair and a flimsy dress that clung to her waist but swayed at the top and bottom, blue. She had a bronze scimitar on her back as well, a present from the Gerudos.
Nohan stared at her for several moments. "Melora! What, what are you doing here? I thought you had to go to Termina to talk to Khatiti! I didn't expect to see you here. Not for a time longer." He shouted and ran up to her.
"It's good to see you too, Prince Nohan. Yes, I went to Termina to talk to Khatiti, then she decided it was best if she returned home to Gerudo Fortress, so I suggested that I'd come along on her trip, I was starting to get home sick." Melora said and giggled.
Nohan bowed slightly and pecked both of her cheeks in greeting, and then he backed away and looked at her. "You're a sight for sore eyes. So, Khatiti is coming back home, huh? I didn't expect that either. How is she doing? Is she alright?" he asked, pulverizing her with questions.
"Khatiti is fine, she's a little shaken still about Aaron, but she's fine. How is your sister? How is Link and Karina, I heard they had twins?" Melora asked, starting to pulverize him with questions.
"Link and Karina had twins, yes, they're both 17-years-old now, fine kids. Zelda's fine though I think something's not right with her." Nohan said smiling brightly because Melora was there. "Alan, this is Melora, an old friend of mine, I meet her because she was quite a thief a few years ago. Link found her and she was in jail for a while, but she helped us by giving us information about the refurbished Master Sword. We let her go and she helped the Gerudos out." He said, introducing Alan to Melora. "Melora, this is Alan, he's a friend of mine, and we were just going down to the pub for a few drinks, want to come?"
Melora smiled. "That'd be nice. I'd love to come." She said smiling.

Lunard jumped down, over the railing of the staircase and landed firmly on the ground. As hard it was trying to keep a secret, he had to, with it being so important, the last time. Was telling Zelda that Shara had started to go crazy over guys that important to keep a secret? He thought to himself but shrugged and walked over to Nohan and Alan whom were talking to a woman wearing a blue dress. "Hey Nohan, I… don't need to tell you something." Lunard said, making a mental note to go up to Saori's room and let her slap him again for almost telling Nohan.
Nohan stared at him. "What?" he asked, making Lunard start to whistle.
"Oh nothing. I just thought I needed to tell you something but I didn't. But, who's that?" Lunard asked, pointing at Melora making his eyes pop a little, making Melora giggle a little.
"This is Melora she helped you get that guy with the Master Sword, I never told you about her. Melora, this is Lunard, Link's son, his sister is, and well I don't know where she is." Nohan said looking around. "Where is Shara anyways?" Lunard shrugged.
"She left home to go to Gerudo Fortress, she must be there talking to Nabooru, she likes talking to Nabooru." Lunard said leaning back a bit to stretch his stomach.
"Lunard? What a strange name. Are you named after anything?" Melora asked, raising her eyebrow.
Lunard nodded. "Actually yes. My father said that I was named after some guy he was in this trance he was in before he married my mother. Except the guy's name was Lunar but he just said Lunard instead, so that's my name. My father said that Lunar was like my future descendent or something like that. I have no idea what he meant." He said blowing some bangs out of his eyes.
"You sure do look like him, Lunard. Quite a resemblance." Melora said. Then turned back to Nohan and Alan. "I think I'll take back your offer on the pub. I need to talk to Zelda, by the way, is Aaron here?" Lunard quickly nodded. "Okay, I need to talk to him too."
"Darn. Okay, if you don't feel like going. Very well. Come on Alan, let's go." Nohan said, bowing his head and walking out followed by Alan.
"Why do you need to talk to Zelda… and… Aaron?" Lunard asked.
It was silent for a moment because Melora didn't answer, which made Lunard nervous. "I need to talk to him about Khatiti, she misses him. I think I could hook them back together again." She finally answered.
Melora started to walk away to the stairs, leaving Lunard there thinking if he should tell her about Zelda and Aaron. It was the best decision seeing that she was going to try and hook Aaron back with someone else. "Wait! You don't want to do that!" he shouted. Melora stopped and looked at him with her eyebrow raised.
"And why don't I want to?" she asked, making it sound in a stupid way.
"Because… because…" Lunard started, he had to keep it a secret, but he just had to, his brain kept on screaming you have to! But it didn't help; he didn't want to break the promise he gave to Aaron. "because you don't know where they are. Let me take you to them." Lunard finally said and he ran up the stairs to get in front of her.
"Lead the way." Melora said and the walked up the stairs. Soon they were at the next floor that housed Zelda's room. Lunard stopped in the middle of the hallway.
"Wait here." He said softly and walked up to Zelda's door. He looked around and taped on the door slightly with his knuckle. "Aaron. Someone is here to see you, she wants to talk to you about someone named Khatiti." Lunard put his ear close to the door, to his mind it sounded like Aaron was cursing and rusting around, and Zelda was giggling a little. "She wants to see Zelda too." Lunard said, lowering his voice so Melora wouldn't hear. Then he heard a thump, which meant Zelda was scrambling around too. Then he heard Aaron laugh a little then footsteps coming to the door. The knob turned and Aaron was there looking at Lunard.
Aaron stepped out and whispered thanks in Lunard's ear as he closed the door. "So you want to talk to me about Khatiti?" he asked looking over at Melora who seemed to be a little confused. Aaron grinned and leaned back to whisper in Lunard's ear again. Lunard nodded and slipped in to Zelda's room. "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Khatiti, she misses you, Aaron." Melora said sadly.
Aaron didn't say anything for a long moment. "She wants me to come back, doesn't she?" he asked, making a stern voice.
"Not really. I want you to go back with her. She's sad about you leaving, and she really misses you." Melora continued in a soft voice.
"Well I can't come back to her. I can't. I got other problems." Aaron said and he turned around to go back into Zelda's room.
"Like what? You can't go back to the person you love! She loves you and misses you, show a little back!" Melora shouted, making Aaron stop.
Silence fell and Aaron stared at Zelda's door, thinking about her and the child, then his mind turned to his last beloved, Khatiti. This was not going to be good, at all. "I have someone else now. I can't return to her without breaking the other's heart." He said quietly.
"Who? Who is this other person you have? Tell me!" Melora demanded slamming her foot on the ground. "And look at me when you say it! I want to see if you're lying!"
"I have someone else, Melora." Aaron said, glancing up to look at the long hallway, then back at the door, he never wanted this to happen, if only Khatiti stayed at Termina and forgot about him. Aaron turned around. "I have… Zelda… I'm with her…." He said, staring at Melora's blue eyes.
With that Melora gasped and stared at him, putting her hand to her mouth in disbelief. "You, and… Zelda? How could you, Aaron!" Melora shouted, she had deep feelings for her friend, Khatiti they were like sisters.
"How could I what? I can't leave Zelda. I'd break her heart. And when the child is born, he won't have a father!" Aaron shouted, he didn't want anyone else to know, but this was serious he couldn't do that to Zelda, he couldn't break her heart and go with someone else and leave her behind like his father.
"Child! You can't be serious! Zelda's pregnant!" Melora shouted, far from shocked.
"Yes! It's a boy! His name is going to be Relin! I left Khatiti! I got over her, so why won't she get over me?" Aaron demanded, making his voice boom. He never wanted to shout at someone like this, it makes him mad at himself, and makes him think that he turned into his father again.
"Aaron? What's the matter?" Zelda's soft voice asked behind him.
"I'm just talking with an old friend about another old friend, Zelda, go back inside with Lunard." Aaron said, his voice still a little loud and angry.
"I think there is a deep dark secret that Aaron hasn't told you Zelda. So I suggest you stay and let him tell you what's going on." Melora said, crossing her arms.
