About a half an hour later, Komali knocked on Link's door. "Hey, Link! Tetra! Lunch is going to be ready in 10 minutes! You should get up."
Tetra and Link stretched as they sat up in bed. Link yawned and stood up. "Come on Tetra, time to get food!" He said, sleepily but excited.
Tetra laughed and got up too. They headed downstairs and into the kitchen, hand in hand.
Komali smiled. Tetra looked much more at ease. He made various sandwiches for lunch. Tetra and Link took one and ate it, hungrily.
"This is great!" They said, at the same time.
Komali sat down, with a sandwich himself, and gave Tetra a questioning look.
She looked to Link who was inhaling sandwiches by the second, and she nodded to Komali.
"So Link, Tetra told you?" Komali said, taking a bite of his sandwich.
Link swallowed a mouthful, "Told me what?"
Tetra facepalmed, "You know...about..."
Link's eyes widened, "Oh! ...Yeah."
"...These next 9 months are going to be great aren't they...?" Tetra muttered.
"They sure will! We're going to be great parents! And I'm sure I'll be a great dad " Link said, standing up in his excitement.
Komali cleared his throat. "Anyway...do you guys have any plans yet?" He said
"Not really...I guess we were going to talk about that later." Tetra said, looking down.
"I guess now's a good time as any. What's there to talk about?" Link asked.
"Well, we should tell our families...I could tell my crew, and you could talk to your grandmother and sister too." Tetra said, thinking. Besides that, she had no idea what to do.
"Yeah...but how? I'm sure we can't just be all like, "Hey Aryll, grandma guess what! Tetra's pregnant! Right what's for lunch?" Link said, with fake enthusiasm.
Komali and Tetra smiled a little, "That could possibly be the worst thing to do." Komali pointed out.
"I think we should go to the docks to tell my crew, sometime. I would rather tell them something like this in person." Tetra sighed."
I agree with you about going to Cerulean. Maybe I can even challenge one of them to a swordfight!" Link said, getting all riled up.
Tetra sighed, "There he goes again. Link, you need to focus," She felt small, and ashamed tears began to well up in her eyes and she pushed them away before anyone noticed. "We...we're going to be...p-parents..."
Link put an arm around her, and kissed her on the cheek, "I know Tetra. I'm just joking around. I know how serious this is."
Tetra looked into his eyes, and she kissed him on the lips.
Komali cleared his throat, making them both jump. Link and Tetra turned red, and separated.
"Hey, Link, When are you going to tell your family?" Komali inquired.
"I guess later. I want to get everything sorted out as soon as possible. Hey...where is my grandma?" Link looked around.
"When you were sleeping she told me she was invited to go to Medli's for some tea. She should be back at around 2:30 she said.
"Hey I'm gonna go into the yard and practice my sword play, you guys gonna come and watch?" Link said exited
Komali and Tetra both nodded in sync and followed link into the yard
As Link was practicing Tetra lent against the house and closed her eyes and tried to imagine the near future, with Link as her husband, and a small child running between their feet.she thought with a small giggle.
Despite how hard that Tetra tried to imagine it, she frowned. She just couldn't make the picture up in her head. With Link always travelling around the way he does, and Tetra being well, Tetra; she couldn't imagine being able to have a functional family with the boy. Before Tetra knew it she had fallen asleep, up against the house; her mind filled with thoughts about where hers and Link's lives would go from there.
After Link had finished perfecting his new move he ran over to Tetra eager to tell her all about the new move. What he saw slightly shocked him.
She was sleeping soundly, up against the house. Her head was pointed slightly down and her arms were lightly crossed over her chest.
Link poked her childishly, "C'mon, Tetra! Guess what? I perfected a new move! Guess what else? It's going to rain so Komali says we have to go inside."
Tetra blinked, "Rain? Wasn't it sunny, just a little while ago? How could it rain?"
Link cocked an eyebrow and pointed towards the sky.
"Oh." Tetra blinked again, seeing the overcast sky. "I was having the most pleasant nap. I'm too comfortable to go inside, tell the rain to go away." She pouted, crossing her arms
Link sighed, rolling his eyes. He picked her up bridal style, much to Tetra's dismay. "Who do you think you are, picking me up like this?! Put me down right now, Link!"
"Nope." He said as he continued walking in the house.
Komali stared at the odd couple as Tetra was kicking and squirming in his arms.
Link put her down on the couch. "Now that wasn't so bad, was it?"
Tetra glowered and punched him in the shoulder, lightly. "Don't do that."
"Fine, fine, never again. I'm going to get something to eat; I'll be back in a little while."
"Oh. Okay." Tetra said, as she made herself comfortable on the couch. I would die if he found this out...but, I like it when he picks me up like that. It's really sweet. He is going to make a nice father... Tetra's thoughts were then consumed with fear as the remembered her pregnancy.
What if I don't make a good mother? What if I have a miscarriage and it was all my fault? What about—
Tetra was distracted by a little cat that was sat on the window. After watching the cat for a few minutes Tetra finally fell asleep
