Ahhhhhhhhhh

Warriors’ POV when he finally has a kid?

“Come on Link, you can hold him,” Artemis said in a soft voice, her face exhausted, but happy. “I’ve had him the past nine months, I’m sure you’d like a turn.”

Warriors swallowed, and forced himself to still the shaking in his arms before he reached over, carefully taking the bundle out of his wife’s arms.

Barely daring to breathe, he sat down in the chair by the bed, pulling back the blanket wrapped around his son just a little. A tiny, scrunched-up face met him, wispy strands of blond peeking out from under the blanket.

“Hey buddy,” Warriors whispered, looking over his son, face still a little red from birth.

The baby wriggled a little in his arms, and Warriors shifted his grip, supporting him a little better. His son calmed down the moment Warriors fixed his blanket back around him, and he grabbed his father’s finger with a tiny fist, turning his head towards his hand.

Warriors let out a wet chuckle, and held the baby even closer, blinking back the sting in his eyes.

A son.

He was holding his and Zelda’s son.

A tear landed on his son’s cheek, and Warriors chuckled again, too overwhelmed to even be embarrassed. He gently wiped it away, and Artemis’s hand slipped into his, giving it a squeeze.

Warriors leaned his head on hers, and they both smiled as their baby made a happy cooing sound.

Nothing is going to happen to you, Warriors silently promised, holding his son close. You’ll grow up safe, and happy.

His son turned his head into his chest, and Warriors’ heart squeezed.

I promise.
