Hey Taang lovers!! This just popped out of my mind and I thought... maybe post it? Well, it may be the 'parenting' fic but very unique (I think) Well... don't want to spoil your appetite. Let's go!!


Chapter 1

Fifteen years have passed since the fall of Fire Lord Ozai took place. Since then, Zuko became the Fire Lord. He proposed to Katara thirteen years ago when she was at her marrying age. Since then, she became the Fire Lady but is still allowed to waterbend. They bore two children, Yuan, being their eldest and the only boy, then Zhilan, the youngest girl. Yuan was the waterbending type while Zhilan was the firebending type. Though they were complete opposites, they cooperated with each other a lot of times. Did I mention that Katara healed Zuko's scar at the oasis before their marriage? Oh yes, she did.

Sokka went to Kyoshi Island and was heart-warmed when he found out that Suki was alive despite the attack. They married each other fourteen years back then. They bore a girl named Meilin who turned out to be a waterbender and was the next Avatar. After finding that out, Aang started to teach her airbending. Katara was busy so Meilin rarely learned waterbending with her. Toph well... let's just say she's busy with other stuff. Zhilan, though inexperienced, decided to teach her a little firebending.

Toph thought of all these while she kept her feet intact on the ground so that she could 'see' where her daughter was. She remembered eleven years ago when Aang proposed to her. They've been peacefully living since then. They bore a child named Gale. Gale was the smart type and the adventurous girl. Though she couldn't see all of her features, Aang explained them all to her.

"Her hair is as black and shiny as yours, Toph" he'd say. "She has cute big grey eyes and a very cute cat-owl smile. Her hair is up to her shoulders and she may be small but tough. Though she's small and tough, she's still as corteous as a well-to-do person. You get what I mean, honey?"

Toph would smile and nod at every description he said. "Thank you, honey" she'd answer.

Toph snapped out when she could feel her vibrations no more. Her face expressed deep fright. What was she supposed to do? Aang's away to Kyoshi Island, teaching Meilin and she's left alone with their servants in their big house. (Which was as big as the Bei Fong residence. Her parents gifted it to them in their marriage)

She frantically walked around the garden, searching for her little child. "Gale!" she frantically shouted. Then she felt strong steps on the ground. Though strong, it felt familiar so she kept her posture. "Aang... have you found--?!"

"You mean Gale?" Aang said in his deep voice. "I picked her up on a tree. Didn't know how she got there" he added sarcastically, but more like he's dropping hints about the incident.

"Please, Aang... stop" Toph said with sadness in her voice. "I want to know what really happened."

"Mommy!" Gale wailed while she threw her hands up in the air. "I sneezed then ended up on a tree!" The three year old said excitedly. Then she quickly returned her hands around Aang's neck.

"Oh?" Aang said but was not suprised. "Guess she must be an... airbender."

"I am?!" Gale squeeled. "But I thought airbenders were extinct!!" She looked cutely at her father. Her robe was disshiveled but no scratch marks were in sight.

"So you want your daddy to be extinct then?" Aang said playfully while he raised an eyebrow.

Fright was obviously etched all over the three year old's face. "No, daddy!!" Gale said and held her daddy close to her. "I love you!!"

"Aang... stop, please" Toph sounded depressed. She held out her hand. "Lunch's ready." Her voice sounded monotonous. She left before them, leaving the father and daughter.

"Daddy, did I do something wrong?" Gale said innocently.

"No," Aang said with complete worry in his voice. "She's just... stressed out." With Gale in hand, they went inside the big house.

That night, Gale stepped gingerly across the halls of the house while carrying her platypus-bear toy around. Then she sneeked around a large room were two grown-ups were fighting.

"You shouldn't have dropped hints!! You know my full concern of our child!! Considering she's our only one!!"

"I was trying to make you happy!! You should think about other people at times you know!! Considering that I had a hard day with Meilin!!"

"I am concerned of other people!! I'm concerned of Gale!! She's our only child!! What if she gets hurt?!"

"She's a three year old!! Everybody goes through that!!"

"Do you always have a reason for everything?!"

"I am the Avatar!!"

"You're my husband!! When you're in this house, you're not the Avatar!! You're a father!! A husband!!"

"Look here---"

Then they heard someone sniffle. Then the sniffle continued on. Then they heard little cries released at the back of the door. They carefully stepped towards it and opened it up to see the three year old girl, crying.

"Gale?" Toph called out softly and cupped her daughter. She carried Gale and sat on the nearest chair while Aang followed. "What's wrong, baby?"

"A-a..." Gale stammered through her cries. "Are you and... and daddy f-fighting... be... because of m... me?"

Aang kneeled in front of her and wiped a small tear away. "No, every parent goes through this honey... this won't last long... don't worry."

"B-but..." Gale stuttered while her hand kept intact at her eye. "But... you were f-fighting... over me..."

"I'm just worried," Toph said motherly. Wow, she's starting to sound like Katara. "I'm worried about you. Why didn't you just call the guards earlier?"

"I... I called them... they didn't...s-see me..." she said in between tears.

Aang put one strand of hair behind his daughter's ear and pecked her on the forehead. "Well, let's just forget what happened... and go to sleep, 'kay with that, Gale?" he cooed.

After wiping her tears several times with her little hands, she placed her stuffed platypus-bear under her chin and smiled. "Okay, daddy... good night..." she muttered.

Toph stood up with Gale still in hand. She pecked Aang on the forehead and smiled. "Good night... daddy..." Toph childishly said before leaving for Gale's room.

While Toph was tucking the cover beneath her chin and placing the stuffed platypus-bear beside her, Toph was suprised to the statement that left her daughter's lips. "Mommy, do you love daddy?" Gale spoke softly.

She placed a tender kiss on Gale's forehead. "Yes... yes I do. So don't you worry about our issues, 'kay?" Toph smiled and lifted her chin up.

"Yes... yes, mommy. Good night" those last words escaped her lips while she turned to her side for comfort. Gale closed her grey orbs lightly while she drifted off to sleep.

"Good night, baby," Toph said and left the room, with the door half-opened
