3 weeks later

Ever since the incident there was still no sign of Manny so the village gave up the search. I gave up too, I moved on from it and was noticeably more lively. Although some days I found myself more depressed than others I fought through it. The only good thing that happened was finding out I wasn't pregnant because I got my period. I never thought I'd be happy to get my period but boy was I. Even though I've been getting better with Links help along with my mothers I can't help but feel bad. There has been a bit of tension in our relationship ever since the incident, I felt distant from him. He'd leave for days without reason and I can't help but think he's hiding something from me. Plus we haven't had sex and I could tell it was taking a toll on Link. Before we had done anything he's taken care of his urges but, something was off. In my mind I kept thinking he might be cheating on me but I know he would never. Yet that thought kept creeping into my head.

Today I spent my time alone at home which seemed to occur more and more. Link was out today caring for the horses and helping Reede out with his crops. I was cooking dinner for when Link arrived. As I cooked I couldn't help but shed a few tears wondering what was happening between us. I was so focused on thinking I didn't notice Link walk into the house until he kissed my cheek. "Hey baby... why are you crying?" He asked.

"Nothing, it's the onions." I smiled at him. He didn't believe me.

"What's wrong?" He asked again. I turned to face him.

"Do you love me?" I asked. He was obviously surprised at my question.

"Of course I do, I love you to the moon and back! Why would you ever ask that?" He gently held my face with a sad smile.

"Are you cheating on me?" I looked into his eyes. Tears filled mine as we stared at each other.

"(Y/n).." He sighed.

"Yes or no." I said.

"No! Never! Baby I love you too much to even think about doing something like that. Why would you?" He wiped my tears.

"You're gone so much, I feel like you don't wanna spend time with me anymore. Plus we haven't had sex in almost a month so I thought you went off with someone else." I felt so stupid.

"Darling I'm sorry I'm not here. I thought you wanted to spend time alone. But I would never cheat on you. Besides sex is the last thing on my mind right now. All I want is for you to be happy." He kissed me softly.

"I love you." I smiled.

"I love you more." He held my hands and kissed them. "Which is why I have a surprise for you. It's why I've been gone so much."

"Hmm." I was curious about a surprise. Nothing good has happened in a while.

"Promise me you won't pass out or anything."

"Now I'm scared."

"Don't be. But first you have to close your eyes." I smiled and closed them. I heard him open the door then walk back to me and gently place his hands over my eyes. "I don't want you peeking." I laughed.

"You don't trust me?"

"Of course I do," he led me out the door, "but I can't risk it with a surprise like this." Once we were outside we walked me towards the stables. I could hear the horses snorting around. "Ok you ready?"

"Yep." He took his hands off my eyes and I opened them. What I saw made my heart flutter. Tears filled me eyes as I laid my eyes on Eva. Her beautiful black coat, her white legs and white mane. I turned to Link and he smiled. "How..?" I never thought I'd see her again.

"I begged the horse goddess. I know how much Eva means to you. So I did a lot of praying." I walked over and hugged her neck while she nipped at my clothes.

"Baby girl I missed you so much." I stroked her mane and kissed her. "Link.." I turned to face him. "I don't know how to thank you."

"No need, after everything that's happened I realized you were missing something." He looked at Eva. I leapt onto him catching him off guard. He caught me and stumbled back a bit.

"Thank you." I kissed him. "Thank you so much." I hugged him. I wasn't sure exactly how praying got Eva back from the dead but I'm beyond grateful that he did. He grabbed my thighs and adjusted his grip on me. "I love you." I kissed him again and gently held his face. He kissed me back and I smiled. He set me down and kissed my cheek.

"I love you so much." Link smiled.

A few days passed by and every time I left the house and went into the village I was like a freak show. People would quiet down and mumble as I walked by. I tried ignoring them to the best I could but it was hard. Some people said I was doing it for attention, others said I was secretly cheating on Link. Only a few were on my side.

Today I was walking over to wash some clothes when I saw Nikki and Tamana washing their clothes talking. I creeped up behind a box and listened to them.

"Do you think (Y/n) is telling the truth? After the whole thing happened I've noticed Link leaving more often." Nikki said. "He's probably with someone else now and just feels bad for her."

"I doubt it happened. (Y/n) seems like the type to come up with something like that for attention. Plus when she first showed up I saw her and Manny flirting outside the general store, and once Link came out she acted all innocent. She's also been very touchy after all of this happened, I went to bring them food from Ivee and I saw them making out outside their house." Tamana replied.

"Link doesn't deserve someone like that. After everything he's done for this village. He deserves someone loyal and caring, I'm sure she's just using him."

"Your right, but did you hear. Apparently (Y/n) got pregnant from the "rape" and she got rid of it. What kind of woman would kill her own child?"Tamana questioned. I felt total guilt wash over me. If I was pregnant I wouldn't have been happy killing my child.

"An awful one. She has no maternal instincts. Why can't she just leave the town, move back to Akkala and go back to prostituting herself? That's all she's good at anyways." I felt tears fill my eyes as Nikki said that. They were right, I don't deserve such a perfect guy like Link. I should just leave and never come back.

"Honestly, and that whole thing with Ivee at the festival! I heard that was planned." I could never! Ivee is my best friend I would never want to hurt her. I slowly got up and faced them, they saw me and just stared at me. Tears streamed down my eyes as they stared at me.

"(Y/n)..." Nikki said. I didn't say anything, I just dropped my basket of clothes and ran back home crying. I opened the front door and ran straight into the bathroom ignoring Link. I locked the door and leaned against it while crying.

"(Y/n) open the door!" Link tried opening the door.

"No!" I sat down on the floor.

"What happened?" He asked.

"Nothing."

"Baby you don't lock yourself in the bathroom for no reason. Tell me what happened?"

"I overhead some people talking about me. They said that I'm doing this all for attention and that I was never raped because they saw us making out. They also said I'm cheating on you since they saw what happened at the General Store with Manny a few months ago. They said that you're too good for me, also I'm an awful person because I killed my unborn child that I didn't even have!" I listed everything off. Link stayed quite. "They're right... you're too good for me.." I sobbed.

"Don't say that (Y/n)." I heard him sit down.

"It's true. Link you're the Hero of Hyrule. Ex boyfriend of Princess Zelda. Best friends with all royalty around Hyrule, and I'm just some useless prostitute that can't do anything but get herself in trouble." I hid my face in my knees and cried. "Link you're perfect, I knew from the moment I met you that you were way out of my league."

"(Y/n) stop, you know how I see you...?" I stayed quiet. "You're beautiful, strong, vibrant, caring. I could go on about how amazing you are. Even after everything that has happened to you, you still find a reason to smile. I love that about you. I love everything about you. So what if I'm the Hero of Hyrule, or if I dated Zelda. None of that matters to me." He said. "You're perfect to me. And I don't care what others say about you. I trust you, and I love you. Please open the door." He said. I couldn't help but smile hearing his kind words. I got up and slowly opened the door. He stood on the other side smiling at me. "Who said those things about you?" He asked.

"It doesn't matter anymore." I wiped my tears. "I don't care about it." I hugged Link. "Link I've been thinking."

"About what?" We walked and sat down.

"Why don't we get a dog?" I asked.

"A dog?" He looked at me for a bit.

"Yeah. I mean I was almost pregnant and I realized I don't know how to take care of another living thing other than myself."

"Hmm.. you raised Eva pretty well."

"Yeah but it's not the same as a dog. We could raise it together, we'll be dog parents." I smiled. He didn't. "Please Link." I begged. "It'd be nice to get my mind off of things. Please." He smiled.

"Fine.. but I've never had an animal other than Epona."

"Neither have I. We'll raise it together."

"I'll have to find a breeder though."

"I'll go with you."

"No, I don't want you leaving. I'll give you some money so you can buy the dog supplies." He got up. I wanted to get the dog too, plus the people here are just going to gossip about me and I don't want to be alone when the do so. "What?"

"I don't wanna stay here. The people gossip about me and I wanna help get the dog." I pouted and slouched down on the seat. "It was my idea anyways."

"Baby, who is saying these things about you?"

"Everyone! Everywhere I go everyone stops what they're doing and stares. They whisper shit to each other when I walk by." I sighed. "It's embarrassing." He knelt down in front of me and held my hands.

"I'll talk to Reede about it."

"Don't, thats even worse. They'll talk about that then. Just let them be." I got up. "It's whatever." I grabbed an apple from the table and sat down on the counter. "Let's just get the dog." I took a bite of my apple. He walked over me and stood between my legs. He hugged and kissed me.

"Alright." He rested his head on my chest. "We'll go together."
