Link hasn't moved in an hour.

Carrying his child has—as it has for many people going through a pregnancy—done a number on your sleep schedule. You've had difficulty with falling asleep, and even then, your rest is shallow and not at all refreshing.

But finally, after laying on him for who knows how long, you'd fallen asleep. You're finally at ease, your chest rising and falling in a steady rhythm with not one stir in your frame. He doesn't dare move, for fear of disturbing your much deserved rest.

Link has felt helpless during your entire pregnancy so far, unable to ease your troubles. He feels like dead weight. What if once the baby is born, he's still just as useless?

He's a natural born protector. He doesn't think he could handle failing the baby, much less you.

You stir, and his body stiffens.
