Your POV

Goooosh. I always have to get up at 2am to get Shadow to stop crying. He's a week old, and I swear I hold the record for longest time without sleep. All he does is cry at night and sleep during the day. Can it be flipped!? Please!? I hold the crying baby in my arms. "Panda, please let mommy get some sleep..." I take a seat on the couch and let him rest on my shoulder. "Come on, Shadow... What's wrong? I changed your diaper and fed you. What else is there? If you're sleepy, then fall asleep. Ug, babies are so complicated... Oh... Maybe he wants a lullaby." I think out loud. I lay down and let Shadow rest on my chest. What song should I hum? Hmm... Oh! I've got it! A small smile comes across my face as I begin to hum The Song of Storms.

"_____... what are you doing up?" Dark's deep, sleepy voice comes across my ears. A small blush comes across my cheeks. Oh man... S-so sexy...

"I-I... W-Well, Panda was crying, so I went to go take care of him."

"I told you I'd get it from now on. You need to sleep. And why do you call him Panda?"

"He reminds me of a baby panda." Shadow whimpers a bit. Oh, he must be so tired... I close my eyes for a moment, but find myself wandering away into the world of dreams.

Dark's POV

"_____?" Oh... she fell asleep. A smile creeps onto my face. She's so cute when she sleeps. I love the way her (h/c) hair gets all messy. The only thing I don't like is how I don't get to see her beautiful (e/c) eyes. Shadow has her eyes... I kneel down next to them and stare in wonder. How can Shadow be so tiny? He's still the same size as when he was born. I take a hold of his small hand. It won't even go around my pinky... Well, he was born a little early, so it's only natural that he'd be small. Oh, and he's really warm, too. No matter what, when you're holding him, he always makes your body feel warm, even when it's freezing. He smells really good, too. A sweet smell that can't really be described perfectly.

I wonder if there's anything I can do for _____... I mean, we could probably let someone babysit Shadow so we can go out on a date, but then all we'd be talking about would be Shadow. Man, being a parent really makes us sacrifice a lot. Less sleep, less time to ourselves, and more responsibility. And now I can't really do anything evil. It sucks! I was planning on taking over Hyrule! Oh well... I lay down on the floor and keep my sword close. Gotta keep them safe... I close my eyes and let sleep welcome me.

Your POV

I finally got a good night's sleep! I'm so happy! I sit up, smile, take Shadow off my chest and into my arms, and take a step. I hear a groan and look down to see Dark.

"AH!" Crap, crap, crap, crap, crap! I'm falling! I hold Shadow close and wait for the impact, but it never comes. I open my eyes to see Dark above me, holding me.

"Be careful, _____! You could have gotten hurt! Or Shadow could have gotten hurt, too!" His eyes glow red with anger. I can tell he's trying his best not to yell.

"I-I'm sorry. You just scared me when I stepped on yo-" My eyes widen when I see our surroundings. We aren't in the castle anymore. We're in... the treehouse I built when I was ten.

"Where are we?" I regain balance as Dark asks the question.

"I'm back.... no..." My eyes fill with tears. I never wanted to come back here! I hate the people in this world!

"_____, where are we!?"

"My world. We traveled to my world! How did this happen!?"

"Perhaps... the portal I used to pull you through never went away. Maybe it's been disappearing and reappearing in certain places."

"I WANT TO GO BACK, NOW!" I sob. "I-I don't want to stay here! I-I don't want to deal with the people! I hate every one of them! A-and... Jake...." Dark's expression turns stiff.

"He won't touch you! I won't let him get closer than five feet!"

"W-well... ok... I-I just don't want him to hurt me again."

"He won't as long as I'm here. I promi-"

"MAMA!" Huh? That wasn't either of us... and Shadow is too young to talk. Oh man... we're in someone else's treehouse...
