Suki had heard the crashes from the kitchen all morning. She had woken with a start upon hearing voices in the kitchen, but had relaxed her warrior alertness when realizing that Kalana and Kodu were bustling about the kitchen. She decided they had meant it to be a surprise and she wouldn't spoil it for them. Fortunately, and unsurprisingly, Sokka slept through the entire thing. She gazed at him with fondness, even after five years together she felt as though it might as well have been the day she saw him in makeup.
Every other handsome guy she knew was conceited, knew about their good looks through the fact that silly girls had always chased them. Whether it was the fact that the closest girl Sokka's age who wasn't related to him had been all of 3, or that Sokka couldn't believe it when girls were attracted to him, he still remained refreshingly modest. Indeed, sometimes she wanted to smack him when he asked incredulously for the tenth time why she had chosen him, but she loved him.
Of course, she wanted to smack him for other reasons too. He still sometimes expected Suki to do 'womanly' tasks, but she had to admit that not even on Kyoshi Island had she seen a father as devoted or a husband as caring. His fainting at the birth of their twin daughters eight years ago had been a little over the top, but that was Sokka for you. He had fainted when she had tried to go to battle while carrying their daughters too. She had listened to him on that one, her mother told her compromise was the basis for a good marriage. Whatever it was, it was working. Even though she had to give Ty Lee a very strict warning once, Sokka's fidelity was above reproach.
Her daughters made their way into the room, leaving, no doubt, a mess behind them in the kitchen. Suki didn't worry too much, she could always get her Kyoshis to clean it up. She rolled over, pretending to be deeply asleep. Her daughters believed her, they hadn't got the instincts of Kyoshis yet. Still, they could be whatever they chose to be.
As Suki gulped down the cold toast and runny eggs her daughters had made for breakfast in bed (their first attempt), she looked at Sokka wolfing down the food next to her. After rapturously greeting his daughters once he realized they had woken him up to bring food, he dug in. Suki smiled at her family and, suddenly, her food tasted much better.
A prize for Artelils on dA for being the 100th reviewer of my story, Things We Lost In The Fire. She wanted some sweet Sukka, with their children bringing them breakfast.
