Being With Baby

Zelda carefully opened Midna and Link's bedroom door, peeking in. She smiled at a sleeping Midna, sprawled out on the bed, void of her lover and thus providing more room for her form to stretch. Some covers were thrown awry, others remained on top of her.
"Midna," she whispered. "Midna, wake up."
Her eyelids fluttered and opened. "Wha..."
"It's eleven in the morning," Zelda laughed.
It was then that the Twili seemed to notice Link's absence.
"Where's Link?" she asked, feeling around his side of the bed.
"He's down training."
"He should know better than to leave me and the baby by ourselves," she replied with a chuckle, patting her swollen middle, recieving a kick in response. "Ooh, someone's a little restless."
"Do you know if it's a boy or a girl?" She sat next to her friend, staring at the lump.
"Nope, not at all. Although, I do like to refer to the baby as a girl. I just have that feeling." She jumped a bit. "Oof, speaking of feeling, she kicked me again."
"What's it like?"
Red and yellow eyes turned up to her own sapphire. "Do you want to find out?"
"You mean it?"
"Of course."
To show her approval, Midna grabbed the princess's wrist and gently placed it on her belly. Moments passed, then Zelda spoke.
"I don't feel anything..."
"Try talking to it, or listening, or even rubbing. Those are all stimulation methods, I believe."
She felt a bit silly, putting her head near the Twili's stomach. "Hello..."
"Touch. Don't be afraid."
She lightly touched the mound lightly with her fingers, lightly brushing Midna's pajamas.
"Hello, baby. My name is Zelda. I'm going to be your aunt. Call me Auntie Zelda when you get older, okay?"
Midna smiled. "Better."
"You treat mommy well, alright? She's not a punching bag. Be good, and she'll be good to you, okay?"
"Now listen. See how she'll respond."
"Are you serious?"
"Yes!"
Zelda put her ear to her stomach, hearing typical sounds, until she felt a light kick near her cheek. Enchanted, she sat back up, placing her hand on the spot.
"She was gentle, wasn't she?" Midna smiled again.
"Very."

Midna lay back on her bed, reading her favorite book by candlelight. However, she heard the doorknob click and her head shot up to stare at the spot, until she saw it turn and open to reveal Link.
"Oh, it's just you," she breathed.
"I told you I'd be back, right?" he smiled.
"Yeah, I suppose."
He shed his tunic, chainmail and boots, then got under the covers with her, kissing her forehead softly.
"I'm not too late, am I?"
"No, you're perfect."
His hand found it's way to her protruding belly. "And how's our little baby doing?"
"She's doing great. Kicking me, but it feels magical."
"Got any kicks left for daddy?"
"Well, let's see."
He began rubbing, and soon after, sure enough, a tiny hand or foot found his palm. He lifted up her nightgown to expose the mound of flesh, kissing it gently before placing the gown over her body again. Midna yawned.
"It's time for bed, honey. Leave my belly alone."
"Alright." He kissed her lips. "Love you."
"Love you too."
She snuggled into a comfortable position, Link's arms wrapped around her bump while they slept.
