Okay! I am super excited for book 2 of Legend of Korra! If you came here from my other story... I'm writing it as we speak. For all Avatar and Legend of Korra fans I hope you all enjoy this first chapter. This is my first story out of three based on the children. Let me know what you think about this chapter and what you want to happen in the rest! :) Hop to update soon!

Disclaimer: I do not own Avatar the last airbender or legend of korra :(

Korra sat impatiently inside Katara's igloo waiting for her master bending water teacher to return. She was not one keen on sitting still and she was itching to spar with her very late instructor. To keep her mind off the awaiting duel she had been promised she snooped around. Korra may not have been the most polite girl of the water tribe but she was the Avatar. Worst case scenario she could blame her past life Aang for wanting to inspect his old home again like old times. Of course he hardly ever got to stay in one place for three seconds with his mission of Peace taking off in every direction at the time.

Katara didn't return to her home until Korra had already dug into her box stored of old family memories. Nothing was a secret it just was too painful to look up and constantly see a painting or photograph of her late husband or migrated children lying around.

A warm smile plastered itself on the old woman's face as she slowly crept up on the young avatar. She eased her body down until her lips were hovering next to Korra's left ear. "My I see you have discovered my old things!" Katara chuckled as the startled Avatar slammed the top of the chest down onto her own head.

"Katara you frightened me! How did you learn to sneak so well?" Korra was so young an almost realized avatar. The only thing she lacked was experience in the real world, spiritual connection and the ability to bend air.

Katara took a seat on a kitchen chair and thought back to her old times with team avatar. There had been so many moments when they had to disguise themselves and hide amongst fire benders. "After years with an older brother and a trickster avatar one picks up things." Korra's chucked was so naïve and it made her think all the way back to when Aang had first asked her and Sokka to go penguin sledding.

"Katara I'm sorry for going through your stuff. It's just I got bored and-"

"You don't have to explain yourself to me. You remind me of so many of my old friends. It's alright dear. I think of you as family as well. We both have known each other for many years and it would be insane not to consider you like one of my grandchildren." Korra didn't like to get over emotional because it showed vulnerability and the strongest Avatars had to be well strong. But Korra had the nagging feeling that when she was with Katara she didn't need to put up a wall of secrecy. After all she did marry her past life.

"Katara, will you tell me a story?"

The old woman still smiled at Korra. "Well of course is there anything particular you would like to hear?" Korra shrugged her shoulders. Anything that Katara told her was incredible. With the white lotus separating her from her parents Katara had been the one to understand that she was still a young child and deserved to be treated as one.

"Okay here how about this one. In 12 BSC a young boy was born. He was very gifted and the world needed him to keep balance. But when the world needed him most he-"

Korra threw her hand up in the air in outrage. "No! No, no, no, no, no. no…."

Katara laughed at the young girls fit. She wasn't a little girl anymore but she still acted the same way as the day they found her. "You don't want to hear the story of your past life I take it?"

Korra blushed a bit and decided to use words to describe her frustration. "It's not that I don't love that story it's just I think Aang and I both agree that we have heard it a million times."

"Oh so Aang is conversing with you now. Tell him I never liked his marble trick either." Korra laughed along with Katara. "How about you and I spar a bit and then go back to your place for a story?"

The fifteen year old girl jumped up and down like she was seven again and learned how to water whip for the very first time. She skipped out of the house into the arena. The year may have been 181 but she was not the frailest old woman most took to be at her age. 79 years and the woman still sparred as if she had just defeated Azula once again. "You must pick one element young pupil."

Korra sighed in annoyance. She hated when she was limited to fighting with a disadvantage. "Sifu Katara in a real battle you know I will be able to use all my elements."

Katara tsked at Korra. "No. Fire and Air may be available nearly everywhere but water and earth are limited to your location. I know you are not a metal bender and what if you were surrounded by solid metal. Water may be nowhere in sight and Air may still not be there for you quite yet. Fire is your only choice." Korra took her stance after bowing to her overly wise teacher. "Not everyone can be the avatar but most other benders and even non benders can still take the upper hand of the most powerful bender alive. I have seen the Avatar be taken out by master benders and others. Too much confidence can be a weakness Korra."

Korra rolled her eyes impatiently. "You have told me this about a million times Katara! Can we just fight I chose my element while you were blabbing on and on."

Under Katara's breath she huffed "She's just like Sokka." And took her stance. She began the fight by creating a thick fog around the entire arena. Korra chose earth bending so she could fight without needing eyes to see her target. It was all about the feel and response of the earth. As she closed her eyes she honed in on Katara's movement along her right side. She focused on turning the wet mud into a hole. Katara let out a small yelp as she fell but quickly bent herself out and re-froze the land around her. Now Korra couldn't have any more cheap shots at an easy win.

"Katara I have to hand it to you, you are the toughest master I know." With her statement she created a rock staircase with the boulders along the outer walls for her use. Looking down into the foggy mess she noticed a dark coated woman slowly circling the arena. Korra leapt down into the earth and shot a few rock at the water master. Katara cleared the fog and used it to form a basic water whip. Korra knew this move all too well and went to dodge it when she found herself completely bound by ice. The battle was over. Katara had distracted her and counter attacked getting the upper hand.

"I told you not to underestimate others." Korra defrosted herself and walked back to her house accompanied by the silent old woman. Korra changed into her night parkas and tucked herself into bed. Katara placed Korra's handmade quilt over the teenage girl and asked if she was ready for her new story ideas.

"How about we hear about Kya, Bumi or Tenzin instead of old war adventures?" Korra was shocked. Though she had met Tenzin and Kya a few times she wanted to know something more.

"Oh Katara you would really share some of your most personal stories?"

"Well someone should hear them before I die that way memories may be passed on. Of course I don't have the exact play by play of each moment with my children but I can tell you things about all of them."

"I would love to listen to anything you have to tell me. Your children were master benders almost as soon as you and Aang were!" Katara began to tell her story of her child, Kya.

BOOK 1- KYA

Katara decided that she needed to visit her brother and Suki. After the hundred year's war ended she had grown a few more inches and her childish features became more womanly over the next few years. Suki was now sporting a small swollen bump on her stomach and Sokka a proud grin.

"How's the baby Suki?" Suki's fingers laced around her protruding tummy.

"I think it may be a girl but Sokka claims it's a little warrior." She giggled a bit. "Either way we know he or she will be tough. After all I am a Kyoshi warrior and Sokka claims to be a water tribe warrior." He started to whine over Suki's teasing. He may have had his looks mature like her father but his personality hadn't changed one bit.

Ignoring her brother Katara asked Suki about the baby. "So how many months left?"

"The doctor told us recently that we have maybe two to three months left." She eased herself down onto a soft couch. "How about you Katara, any little ones coming in the near future?" Sokka spit his drink out all over the floor.

"No! Katara I forbid it. You and Aang are far too young to have a baby. You aren't even married yet!" Katara blushed a furious red and tried to think of a way to approach the subject without infuriating her older brother any more.

"Well considering that Aang and I aren't even engaged I doubt that I will have children before I'm 100." Sokka seemed to approve of her answer.

Suki hugged Katara tight like the sister she never had. "No Aang loves you. I shouldn't have asked I know that you are younger than me and Sokka." Suki and Sokka were married at 20 and now they were having their first child at 21. Katara was only one measly year younger than her "big" brother. Aang may be only 18 but he towered over Sokka in both height and maturity.

"Suki, it's just I have been so lonely. Aang had to go on solo missions for the entire month or so and I feel as if he's ignoring me. I don't see why I can't go travel the world with him on Appa. I think he's fallen out of love with me and is slowly pulling farther away." Katara fell apart into tears not bothering to soak the pregnant woman's robes.

Sokka stood up and took Katara's hand dragging her out of the house to the ocean shore. "I know things may seem confusing but Aang loves you more than anyone else I know. You have to trust me on this one. After the war Suki took on a job protecting Zuko and I went with you guys to thousands of council meetings. There were a few years where we didn't see each other but we were both doing our duty to the new world." The tide was starting to creep farther and farther out into the horizon. "But when Zuko knew his nation trusted him enough not to attempt to kill him in his sleep Suki came back to me just like my trusty boomerang. It's all about timing Katara."

There were very few times that Sokka was completely serious in his life and Katara knew he had to be right. So she returned to the house and chatted with her brother about his new life for a few more hours and decided it was best to return home.

To her surprise Aang flew over to her sprinting into her arms scooping her up into his arms as soon as she stepped onto the dock. "Katara I didn't know where you went. I came home to no note and an empty house. I so glad you're safe." He kissed her and set her back down.

"Aang I can't wait around for you forever. I don't see why I can't help you and Zuko form the United Nations. I have so many ideas and don't tell me that you're doing it to keep me safe because I'm pretty sure there is no looming threat around every corner like there used to be."

"Will you just let me explain this all to you?" Aang was known to handle his stress fairly well but every now and then he couldn't handle it. He was just an adult by a few months.

"Yes. I'm sorry for over reacting it's just I get so frustrated because I don't see why you feel the need to have no help anymore. Everyone needs help Aang."

"Katara my disappearance in the last month hasn't been about the balance of the world. If it was something like that wouldn't you think that the entire council would be involved? I would bring you in a heartbeat to assist me like old times. I know that you are an amazing water bender and can fend for yourself. I love you Katara, just trust me for a few minutes."

So Katara followed Aang through the village. He told her to close her eyes and admire the power of the full moon. He had bent earth seats for them to sit on and a fire to keep them warm. There was a dinner sitting on an ice table and he let her open her bright blue eyes to her surroundings. The lake next to the table reflected the large moon perfectly.

"I know this may not be much but you appreciate the simple things in life. It so happens to be 6 years from when we first kissed after the war. I know it seems crazy but it took me forever to figure out the exact date and align it perfectly with the moon."

"Aang you are crazy!" She sat down and held his hand over the table.

"So over the last month I had quite a few things to do. I had to make sure tonight's moon and date were still rightly planned. I had to cancel meetings for the past weeks and settle minor peace issues. I had to travel to the southern water tribe…"

"Aang, why did you have to go to the southern water tribe?" Suddenly he crouched down to one knee.

"Katara, ever since I first laid eyes on you I knew you ever absolutely beautiful. Over the year fighting the fire nation with you and saving the world I fell in love with everything about you. When I first heard that fortune teller declare that one day you would marry a powerful bender I was out of my mind with joy. When you told me that you only saw me as a friend it broke my heart but when we kissed after everything was over I knew you were my forever girl. After six amazing years of you being mine and all our new adventures together I don't think I could ever live without you. Katara will you marry me?" Aang was so nervous that he was shaking and nearly dropped the betrothal necklace.

Katara jumped into his arms and kissed her Avatar boyfriend with excitement. "Yes! Aang I will always be yours."

"Well that was more terrifying than fighting the fire lord." Katara laughed and pushed him slightly admiring the necklace. "I went to the southern water tribe to ask permission of your grandmother and father to marry you Katara. I had to come up with an idea for you betrothal necklace so I took elements of your grandmother's and you. The water symbol is on it and the leather is from one of you mom's old books. I went to the northern water tribe to the spirit oasis for the stone. At the bottom of the pool sat the perfect shaped cerulean colored gem stone. I never wanted you to feel like you were losing me."

"Aang, I was foolish and wasn't thinking. I trust you from the bottom of my heart. Without you I would never have left the small water tribe to master water, discover true love, and make something of myself." Her bright blue eyes sparkled in joy. She was going to get married and have children after all.

"Do you want me to tie it onto your neck?"

"Please!" They both laughed in pure bliss of the moment. Finally the stars had aligned. There was no ongoing war, peace was beginning spread among even the cruelest fire nation civilians and all four nations were uniting as one.

Katara had waited all her life for love. She always imagined herself with a northern water tribe warrior who would come down and save her village. The stories she had heard of romance and epic loves inspired her as a child. But now she had found even a better man for her. He may have been the Avatar, the last air bender and the savior of the world but most of all it only mattered to her that he was her best friend who made her feel beautiful. He showed her hope in a time of despair like a ray of light in a dark endless tunnel.
