November 28th

Link groaned as he sat up, his back aching from the rock hard slab of rock that the Gorons considered a bed, and his bones still not fully functioning after Darunia had given him a Goron-Glomp. "Oh my freaking Farore, it hurts!" Link whimpered, rubbing his sore back.

"GOOD MORNING BROTHER!"

Link froze and turned slowly towards the doorway, where the curtain (they didn't have doors, apparently) was swishing softly in the breeze, and his vision was suddenly full of the twinkling beady eyes, dark brown skin, and the unmistakable grin of Goron-Link.

"Err, morning!" Link said, lacking Goron-Link's enthusiasm.

"I'm here to wake you for breakfast!" G-L (short for Goron-Link) said, pulling Link up by his arm and dragging the half awake hero out of bed.

--

Link patted his belly satisfactory as he walked out, eating a nice, full breakfast courtesy of Darunia. (He made sure they had the best of food to fit the Hero of Time's needs.) "Hm, what to do today?" Link pondered, looking around the city. Zelda had gone off to discuss negotiation type things with Darunia, and Link was left to his lonesome.

As he thought, Link thought back to the good ol' days, and remembered his frequent visits to Goron City and Darunia. Most of the older Gorons around the city remembered growing up with Link, the even older Gorons remembered watching Link grow up, and the young ones? Well, Link had decided that his day would be dedicated to making sure these ones would remember him.

He walked over to the nearest Goron and promptly asked, "Where's the nursery?"

--

Link was distraught. He had been left to deal with the baby Gorons after the Goron in charge of the nursery left on a break (about two hours ago), and Link came to the conclusion that tiny babies were not in his expertise.

Cradling a wailing baby in one arm while balancing another on his hip, combined with several others hanging off of his back or clinging onto his legs, Link was quite the sight when Zelda walked in, eyebrows shooting up as she took in everything before her. "What in the name of Nayru are you doing?!" Zelda gasped, taking a step backwards.

"ZELLIE!" Link squealed, and took a step towards her. "Help meee!"

Zelda had half a mind to turn around and leave, but what kind of person would she be if she left the poor dunce to fend for himself? And what about the poor baby Gorons? They would be scarred for life!

And so it was that Zelda held out her arms and Link sighed a breath of relief and handed over some of them to her. "You're done with your negotiation-y things already?" Link asked.

"There wasn't much to negotiate," Zelda said absentmindedly as she grabbed a tiny bomb and popped it into one of the Goron's mouths. "I think it would've been a lot more difficult if someone else came, but we came, so there's nothing to worry about. Don't think about it too much."

"Don't worry, I won't!" Link beamed, as the wailing of Gorons had begun to die down. "Hey, you're really good at this!"

"What can I say? I'm a natural," Zelda smirked, putting some of the Gorons down to play with each other.

"Help me then! I don't know what I'm doing," Link wailed, joining in with the rest of the crying babies.

Zelda sighed, and moved closer to him. "Okay, first of all, you're holding her wrong!" She adjusted his hold and bopped the baby on her nose. "There, all better!" And indeed it was, the baby stopped crying and Link looked more comfortable too, smiling smugly.

The two spent the next few hours playing with the babies and as the tiny little Gorons began to fall asleep, Zelda and Link began to drift off themselves, surrounded by all the teeny, tiny, little Goron babies.

(A nice and peaceful sleep it was, but that didn't quite make up for the sore backs they had afterwards, what with falling asleep sitting up and leaning against rock hard Gorons.)

A/N: I was kinda brain dead for this chapter, sorry :X

So, happy Black Friday! Did anyone go shopping or camp out? Hoorays! (:
