You were just relaxing in your room with the twins after just getting back home. Sidon had to rush out to a meeting as much as he didn't want to, but it was important according to Muzu. Apparently important enough to take Sidon away from his wife and newborn children...

"I'm back! Sorry that took so long, love." Sidon walked in and sat down next to you and kissed your head. He gazed down at Zippora (your daughter) and Zuko (your son) and smiled. "They're so small."

"Well, of course. Are newborn zoras bigger?"

"Slightly. But I don't know what I would've expected even then, since I'm 9 feet tall, and you're what, 5 feet?" (Assuming, just pretend he said your height if I'm wrong)

"Yeah, but I like the difference. Hugs are amazing." Sidon laughed and wrapped his arms around you, pulling you into a tight embrace. You both sighed of relief because this was one of the first moments you've had in a while seeing as you both had been busy since the wedding, and having to be ready to be parents.

"I've missed you. A lot." Sidon whispered as he stroked your hair.

"I'm always here, honey. I know we don't get to see each other as often as we'd like, but -"

"That's not what I meant." Sidon cut you off before sighing. "I mean the times we used to have together. I love what we have now, and of course I'd never trade it for anything. But we used to spend our days laughing and joking and not worrying about a thing."

"Oh, you mean before...?"

"Yes. Back when it was... the four of us." Sidon shook his head.

"I know. But look, there's four of us now." You smiled and Sidon smiled back. You always tried to have a positive attitude about things with him, and you knew he loved it. "You can hold them, you know. You're children aren't off limits to you."

"I know _____, but I just don't want to hurt them."

"You won't, trust me."

Sidon picked up both children, one in each hand and he smiled and just relaxed. Link came to get you for something so you left Sidon and the twins alone. Link just had a couple questions about the new sword designs, so you got to go back to your room after around 10 minutes. Once you got back, Sidon, Zippora and Zuko were all asleep. You curled up next to Sidon and fell asleep too. You woke up early the next morning and remembered that you promised to head down to the castle with Link. You got ready and just before leaving you kissed the twins and Sidon but he stopped you.

"Wait... where are you going dear?" He yawned and you giggled.

"I'm going to the castle with Link. Were not training, he just wanted to see the new sword designs I left in the forge."

"Are you sure you're okay leaving...? And do you have to?"

"I promised him. I'll be fine. I love you dear."

"I love you too... be safe..." You smiled and went to meet Link down at the bridge. He was waiting there just staring out at Vah Ruta.

"Link? Link!" You had to say his name a few times before he snapped out of whatever daze he was in.

"Oh, sorry sis. I was just thinking. You ready to go?"

"Yep. Got everything we'll need." You nodded and he gave you a thumbs up.

"Alright. How have you been anyways? I'm sorry we didn't really get to talk last night, I was late for a meeting with King Dorephan."

"Oh I've been doing great. Just been tired a lot lately." You stretched out and he laughed.

"How are my niece and nephew?"

"Perfect. You'll absolutely love them." You smiled and looked down at your ring. Link looked back out at Ruta.

"I'm sure I will. Maybe tonight Zelda and I can come back with you to meet them."

"That would be great!" You beamed and Link chuckled and rustled your hair. Because the wind wasn't already messing it up.

"Link! _____! You're back!" Zelda ran over to you and Link with open arms and hugged you both. "_____, I heard the babies arrived a few days ago."

"Yep, two healthy little 'Zylians', as Sidon and I have been calling them." The three of you laughed and Zelda smiled as she looked down at her ring.

"You two must be excited for the wedding." You smiled and they both nodded. Link put his arm around Zelda and kissed her cheek.

"Yep, soon we'll officially be a married couple. Just like you and Sidon." Link looked at your ring and you remembered how he was at the wedding and I guess... you felt exactly how he did. You wondered if you would still be his favorite, because obviously you grew up together and didn't meet Zelda until later, but now he was getting married and would have kids. You knew how he felt, and you completely understood.

"I actually never thought I'd say that. I'm older, I assumed I'd be married with kids first, and now your married and have kids and I'm not even married yet. Well, anyways, we should get to work."

"Yeah. Come on, the sword designs are in one of the closets in the forge." You walked downstairs and down the hall towards the forge door, and Link trailed closely behind you.

Also this is an edit I should've made a while ago to answer anything -

Yes Zuko's name came from ATLA (Avatar the last airbender)

No idea about Zipporah's name, a friend gave me that idea
