The bundle of blanets squrimed in his hands, pink fists shook, while a newborn's voice could be heard wailing clear across the ward.
The delivery had gone well for the mother but the infant had almost lost its life... for hours the parents had waited while the doctors raced to save the baby's life... and yet, even, while he holds his son in his hands there is still worry lined across his face.
"Link?"
He looked up, finding his fiance's eyes, and smiled, softly. "Yes?" Link cradled his boy in his arms and began to rock him though it seemed nothing could calm the child.
"Everything is going to be alright." Zelda squeezed her lover's arm and pressed a tender kiss to the top of her baby's head.
Link knew he should be the one doing the comforting and he felt shame with that bit of knowledge. The newborn released another scream and it tugged at his heart... his son could feel the emotions warring inside his heart. "Alexander." Link whispered, soothingly. "Calm down, little man, its okay now... I've got you." And how Link was afraid of that promise "I've got you". He had never expressed any true interest in havgin children soley for the reason that he did want to let his own kids down... like his father had him.
William Roose Hudson had disappeared from his son's life when the he had been just five. William did not even care enough to leave a note of love, reason, or excuse. Just left a boy to wonder where his dad had gone off to because they were supposed to go fishing.
Link felt tears come to his eyes at the thought of that day and how it would kill him if he became that kind of father. "Daddy's got you."
Alex whimpered, opened his blue eyes, cobalt blue eyes... and stopped crying... as if to say, "I know."
