Our Family Part 2

By GreatAngemon

Zelda stirred the pot of soup nonchalantly as Tetra and Sheik walked into the kitchen. "How did you two manage to get all three of them to bed?" Zelda asked, seeing them.

"All I did was put them in their crib, and sing a little lullaby," Tetra shrugged, looking around. "Where's Link?"

"He went to the store," Zelda said. "What did you two do after they fell asleep?"

Tetra blushed. "Oh, just took a little nap." Sheik nodded fervently.

Zelda nodded, and turned back to the soup. Just then, all three of them heard a baby's cry from up the stairs. "Tetra, come stir this," Zelda said, "I'll go see who it is." Tetra took the spoon from Zelda, who hurried up the stairs.

"Do you think she knows?" Sheik asked.

Tetra shook her head. "She can't, I don't think. And besides, if she does, why did she ask us what we did?"

"I know my sister, and I think she knows," Sheik said. "But who cares. We're alone, sooo…" he moved closer to Tetra, who shook her head.

"Not now. Link could be back any minute," she said. Just then, the back door opened, and Link stepped inside, Aryll on his shoulders. Sheik stepped back, tripping over the table leg. "Hi, Link," Tetra said, stirring the soup.

"Hey," Link said, "You okay, Sheik?"

"Yeah, "Sheik said. "I'll be fine. I'm just embarrassed I fell in front of this little cutie."

Link didn't know if he was talking about Aryll or Tetra."Zelda upstairs?"

The other two nodded. Link walked up the stairs, leaving Tetra and Sheik alone again. A few minutes later, Zelda and Link walked down the stairs, with Joel and Zill in their arms. Zelda handed Joel to Sheik, and said, "Thanks for stirring the soup, Tetra."

"No problem," Tetra said. "I'm going out into the living room. Call me when dinner's ready."

"I'll go too," Sheik said. "I need to watch some T.V."

"Sheik knows we know," Zelda said quietly as the T.V turned on.

"He can't," Link said. He sighed, and said, "Let me slap him, just once, please?"

Zelda shook her head, and called, "Soup's on."Tetra and Sheik walked in, and Zelda said, "Would you mind setting the table.

Tetra walked over to the cabinet by the refrigerator, and started pulling out glasses. Sheik stepped up behind her, and reached above her head to grab plates. She rested her head against his shoulder for a moment, and then got back to pulling glasses out.

Link glared at his wife, before saying, "So, how were the kids for you two?"

"They were fine," Tetra replied. "Fell asleep, no problem."

Sheik nodded. Walking over to the table, he started setting out plates and bowls, and said, "I put Aryll to sleep, and Tetra took the twins. Works wonders with kids, she does."

Tetra blushed at the unexpected compliment, but said, "Well, I did work at a daycare in Labrynna for awhile, to pay for my apartment. You have to be good with kids for that."

Link shrugged and said, "What did you do after they fell asleep?"

Sheik blushed, and said, "Took a little nap. No big deal."

On the pretext of smelling the soup, Link leaned over his wife's shoulder, and muttered, "Yeah, it was a bit of a big deal."

Zelda put her hand on his cheek, a little more forcefully than needed, and said, "So, who like's New Kakariko Clam Chowder?"

"If you made it, I'll love it," Sheik said. "Seriously, you cook better than mom."

Zelda shrugged, as Tetra said, "I've had your mom's cooking. If you can beat that, I'll have to try it." Link sat down, putting Joel in his highchair.

"Well, here you go," Zelda said, setting the pot of soup of the table. Picking Aryll up, she said, "Here you go, sweetie." She handed her daughter a banana.

"Why isn't she having soup?" Tetra asked.

"She only eats fruit, except when Link makes bacon," Sheik said, ladling soup into her bowl. When she looked at him questioningly, he said, "I visit every few weeks. "Part of the reason is to see my favorite kids in the world, but it's also to annoy Link."

Link shot a meaningful glance at his wife, saying, "I told you he only came here to annoy me."

"He also said he comes here to see the kids," Tetra said. Taking a bite of soup, she said, "Sheik was right, Zelda, this is really good."

"Thank you," Zelda said. Turning to Link, she said, "Will you please make Zill eat, Link?"

Link turned to his son, a bottle of baby food in his hand, and said, "Okay buddy, here comes the plane." He started moving a spoon of baby food towards the child, making plane noises, and stuck it in his son's mouth.

Joel giggled, and said, "Daddy make funny noise."

Zelda smiled, and said, "Now you need to eat too." She handed him the spoon, and said, "Open your mouth." Joel obeyed, and stuck the spoon in.

"How come he's so much more mature than Zill?" Tetra asked.

Zelda shook her head, saying, "He's always been like that." Turning to Link, she muttered, "Didn't you want to talk to these two about something?"

Link nodded, saying, "Well, thanks for letting us sleep for so long, guys. We haven't gotten a decent night's sleep in awhile."

"No problem," Sheik said.

"But what about you guys," Link continued, "How did you sleep?"

Tetra's face seemed to pale slightly, but she said, "What do you mean?"

"Well, it must have been warm," Link said, "Sharing a bed wasn't it?"

Sheik and Tetra looked at each other, and Sheik said, "Well, we… I mean the two of us…"

But Link cut him off, saying, "Look, we'll talk about this after the kids go to sleep, okay?" His voice was forcefully calm.

Aryll poked him in the ribs, saying, "Daddy… daddy?"

Link looked at her, and said, "What is it, Aryll?"

"Me tired."

Lin smiled, and said, "How about daddy takes you upstairs for bed?"

She nodded. "Daddy tell me story?"

He grinned, picking her up. "Of course daddy tell you story. Now it's just a matter of you telling me which story you want."

She looked thoughtful, and squeaked, "Hewo of time." Link smiled.

Walking past Sheik and Tetra, he whispered in a deadly voice, "We're not done yet, you two." He smacked each of them upside their heads and said, to Aryll, "The hero of time it is then." He carried her up the stairs.

"You two are so going to be killed," Zelda said. "He wanted to kill you the moment he saw."

"Why didn't he?" Sheik asked. "He isn't generally the type to restrain a murderous instinct."

"I managed to get him to leave you alone till dinner," Zelda said. "Now, I don't personally care if you like each other or not, but you need to see this from Link's point of view."

"Which is what?" Tetra asked.

"His baby sister was sleeping in the same bed as my brother," Zelda said, "In his house. Now, while it isn't really a big deal, since you're both adults, I don't think it's a good idea for you to do it with Link around."

"But you don't care?" Tetra asked.

"I think it's kind of cute," Zelda admitted. "But it doesn't matter. This is Link's house, and he doesn't want you doing that."

"But we're adults," Tetra started, but Zelda cut her off.

"But you're his little sister first," she said. "Look, I don't care if you sleep in the same bed, but be more careful, okay."

The other two nodded, just as Link walked back downstairs. "You two ready for your bath?" he asked the twins, who shook their heads resolutely.

"No bath," Joel, said. Zill nodded vigorously.

"But it has a rubber ducky," Link said, temptingly. "Come on, and I'll tell you a bedtime story when you go to sleep."

They both looked at each other, and said, "Mommy too."

Link grinned. "Fine, mommy, you come too." Zelda giggled, picking up Joel, and turned to Tetra.

"You can wait in the living room," she said.

"Don't even try anything," Lin said warningly to Sheik, who grinned sheepishly.

"I won't."

He and Tetra walked into the living room, and sat down on the couch. "I told you she knew," Sheik said.

"Yeah, but she doesn't care," Tetra said. "It's just Link blowing things out of proportion."

"I sort of get where he's coming from," Sheik admitted. "I didn't like it when he first started dating Zelda."

"Fine, but he is sooo going to kill you."

"Me, why me?" Sheik asked, "You slept there too."

"Yeah, but I'm his baby sister," Tetra said, as if explaining it to Aryll. She giggled, and kissed his cheek, saying, "Don't worry, I'm sure he'll come around to the idea of you and me being together."

"I hope it happens before he murders me," Sheik muttered, turning on the T.V.

And there is chapter 2. This time, I actually want you people to review.
