A Few Loose Ends 

Helmholz: There are way more than a few here.

I spent the next few weeks adding to our farm. 

Stratski: The farmer in the dell, the farmer in the dell, hi HO the dairy-o, the farmer in the dell.
Vance: The farmer took a ho, the farmer took a ho, hi HO the dairy-o, the farmer took a ho.

Link started out by bringing home cuccos and a rooster, then I got two milk cows, a pig and four sheep. 

Stratski: Three guesses what those sheep are for.
Vance: *snicker* Yeah... the rules never said you couldn't be in the presence of a sheep without your mate!

Link surprised me when he came home one day with a beautiful black stallion. Since we have a special connection with the royal family, the King himself had that horse bred especially for us. 

Helmholz: This, of course, is so they can breed the horse with a... wait... I can't go any further with that joke.

We decided that since the stallion (whom we named Midnight Star.) was such a strong horse, we were going to bread him with Epona. 

All: O_O 
Stratski: Holy shit, I knew this fic was riddled with horse abuse but that's the lowest of the low!
Vance: Bread them and fry them and serve them with a white cream sauce?

We bred them for the first time just before their mating season was to end. 
It was perfect timing, I only had seven more months until I was to give birth. 

Helmholz: Hold on a second... she was two months pregnant in the summer, and they didn't go to the bonding ceremony until the fall and yet, she's still only two months pregnant?
Vance: This was predicted, Helm, why are you surprised?

The colt would be born not to long after I was to have my first-born. I knew each colt that was born would be strong and healthy. Perfect for each child that Link and I were going to have. 

Vance: Gag me.
Helmholz: Her astounding dependence on a fictional character and this perfect life she's crafting with him smacks of severe psychological and self esteem problems.
Stratski: Come again?
Helmholz: She needs to see a shrink.

After we got all of the animals that we needed, I started a garden. I was going to grow a lot of the food we were going to eat. 

Helmholz: Evidently the horses wouldn't last them very long then.

Though some of the meats and fruits were provided to us by the King. I grew most of the vegetables that were going to be used in meals. Each and every day I would tend to my garden. It was my pride and joy, next to being pregnant. Keeping it up was tough but fun. 

Stratski: Link, your best bet at this time is to just keep her barefoot and pregnant. 
Vance: Ugh. I don't want to know what she'll name that baby.
Stratski: Chances are, it'll be a Jr. Mary Sue here is heavily dependant.
