"Alright, I'll be back. I'm gonna go pick up her present from the flight range." Revali pulled his scarf on and threw his bow over his back before walking over to the bed and carefully hugging both of you. "I should be back within the hour."

"Okay. I'll have her ready by the time you get back then." He nodded before heading over to the landing so he could fly out into the Hebra, and you sat up and looked next to you, happy to see Amalia finally waking up. "Goodmorning."

She smiled and spread her wings out, and you got out of bed before picking her up and taking her over to her hammock. You sat her into it and gave her a toy before going to get yourself dressed first in case Gwen called you early.

"Here's your cute little dress that daddy had made for you!" Once you were ready, you took her back to your bed and laid her down and set her outfit down next to her. "It'll go perfect on my sweet girl! Yes it will!"

"Sorry to interrupt the moment, but," Eagle strolled halfway into the room with a box in his left wing. "Did Revali already head down to the flight range?"

"Yes, not too long ago." You said as you helped Amalia put her wings through the sleeves. "I still need to go get my gift for her."

"Here, you can take mine downstairs and put it with the others, and I'll watch her until Revali gets back." You clipped a bow into her hair before lifting her back up again.

"Are you sure?" You asked as he handed you his gift before taking Amalia with a nod. "I won't be too long. Revali could be back any minute."

"Take your time, we'll be fine. She can hang out with Kaneli." She giggled, and you kissed her head before Eagle took her up to his room where Abby and Kaneli were. Leaving you to head downstairs to get ready to get her present from you.

"Everything looks ready to me!" Revali smiled, placing his wings on his hips. "Now all we need is... oh there's the birthday girl!" Revali rushed over to Eagle to get Amalia, who he threw into the air and caught before hugging her. "I see mommy put you in that new dress, that you look so cute in! Yes you do!"

"Hey I'm back!" You walked in with your box and set it on the table before going over to stand with Revali and Amalia. "Look at that little smile! Are you excited for your very first birthday?"

"I knew these two would be like this as parents, but they're even worse than we were." Eagle whispered to Abby, who giggled and playfully shoved him.

"You were just like Revali with Kaneli hitting all the milestones. Don't even try to deny it." She rolled her eyes as she watched you and Revali put one of the cone hats on Amalia before putting one on each other.

"Oh, no I was not." He shook his head as she put a cap on him and then one on herself, and she laughed as Kaneli grabbed her leg. "Okay, but I wasn't THAT bad."

"I have pictures, Eagle." Kaneli ran into his father's arms, who picked him up and leaned him on his hip. "Maybe we have another one so I can prove it to you." She kissed his cheek and rustled her son's hair before giving him a hat too.

"Revali! Revali! REVALI!" Gwen rushed into the room, bouncing and beaming with excitement. "Look who I brought!" In walked a light pink rito behind her with sky blue eyes and a gift with some roses in her wings. "Mom!"

"Aunt Carla?" Revali's eyes went wide as you took Amalia into your arms, and he walked over to her. "What are you doing here? It's been ages!"

"I heard about the baby's party, and since I was coming down anyways, I thought why not come early?" Gwen took the gift she had so she could hug Revali, and you looked over the older rito. She must've been from the same place Janelle had been living. "And who is this lovely girl?"

"Carla, this is _____. My wife and Amalia's mother." He wrapped one wing around you, and Amalia was too busy focusing on her grandaunt. "_____, this is my mother's sister, Carla."

"It's nice to meet you." You held your hand out and she shook it, a bit of surprise weaved into her happy expression.

"_____? The princess?" You nodded and she laughed a bit. "I knew you had befriended her but I had no idea you were even courting her!" She laughed more, and Gwen set her gift down. "Well, I must say, the goddess must have been smiling upon you two. Your child is beautiful. Amalia, you said her name was?"

"Yes! Our little hylito!" You nearly burst out laughing at his title for her, and in noticing your laughing, Amalia started laughing too which only made you laugh harder. "What? It's the best name I could think of. Ritlian? Hyrian? Ritolian?" You couldn't stop now, and Carla and Gwen were both laughing alongside you.

"Hylito is fine for what it's worth." Urbosa said as she walked in, Daruk and Mipha right behind her. "Although I think it best we don't confuse the little bird."

"Urbosa! There you are! We've been waiting for you three." They set their gifts down and Urbosa hugged you.

"Happy birthday, Amalia." Amalia giggled and reached up for Urbosa, who happily complied and lifted her from your arms. "One year ago today, you took your first breath of air in this land of Hyrule. Now it's time for a-"

"Alright alright, Urbosa," Daruk walked over and stole Amalia from her, only needing one hand to hold her. "You're one today, kid!" He cheered as he lifted her into the air.

"One year of many ahead of you is completed." Mipha smiled, reaching out to hold her wing.

"Is Janelle coming?" You asked, turning to the Gerudo Chief next to you. Even after all these years of knowing her, you still had to look up at her towering figure.

"She's out of the kingdom again. She did want to come, really, but she couldn't." She sighed, and you nodded as you watched the other champions coo over your daughter. "Don't feel too down about it. Amirah tried the same thing for Zelda's first. Same reason, too."

"I didn't know she wanted to do that." You looked back at her, hand resting on your waist. "I didn't even know she was coming for her sixth until she got to the castle."

"Amirah wanted it to be a surprise. Besides, I heard you didn't even recognize her." You went slightly red and she started laughing, patting your head. "It's alright, _____. You'll see her soon."
