Hey there! I'm BloodBenderKatara! I have written fanfiction before but I wasn't very good at it. I hope this story will be a bit better.

This story takes place after the war ended but has no relation to The Promise, The Search, and The Rift. I hope you guys enjoy!

It Was Only One Night

Chapter 1: Little Vibrations

Katara's POV

I can't believe this. I can NOT believe this. That was not the news I was wanting to hear. How will I tell the gang? How will I tell Aang? Oh spirits, how will I tell my dad and Sokka?

This is just some awful, horrible dream. A cruel, practical joke from the Universe, I do believe. Maybe if I throw myself off this bridge, I'll fall into a dark hole that'll make me awake in the comfort of my own bed, in a pool of my own sweat. Oh, gross.

I gripped onto the railing of the bridge. Just jump. No, that won't solve my problems. I know this isn't a dream. Maybe it was a mistake. Oh, wishful thinking. Sadly, the healers of Ba Sing Se are some of the finest healers in the entire Earth Kingdom. Even I know that it is true, no matter how much I want to doubt it.

I sighed, let go of the railing, and continued to walk away from the bridge, arms wrapped tightly around my chest. Just breathe. It'll be okay.

I came across the Jasmine Dragon, where Aang, Zuko, and Sokka were planning on how to start recovery. They've been planning every piece of the recovery for almost three months here in Ba Sing Se. It was like a puzzle. If one piece didn't fit to the perfect equation of maintaining balance and order, they had to pitch it away and find another that would fit. Zuko came to Ba Sing Se once every other week to meet up and makes plans with Aang and Sokka, as we are still staying here in the city.

"Hey Katara!" I heard from inside the teashop. I know that goofy, upbeat voice anywhere. My boyfriend was always so happy, especially now that he had saved the world. He always has such a positive attitude and a strange, but unique way of handling situations.

I smiled at him from outside the teashop. I wanted to go in, but my feet wouldn't move. They were glued to the ground. "Hi, Aang."

"Come inside and have so tea!" Aang shouted. "It's really great!"

I shook my head and gave him a forced half-smile. "Maybe later, sweetie. I'm just going to take a walk." I walked away from the shop before he could come out and stop me. I really can't face him right now. Not after what I had just found out.

Hours have passed since I found out about my 'little news.' The healers expressed such excitement for me, but didn't find anything about this situation exciting.

I laid there in my bed, staring at the dark green ceiling. It really does surprise me that we're still in this house that we were once forced to live in until we found Appa. Sokka took a liking to it, he said it matched his bag and belt quite nicely. Personally, I'd rather be at the South Pole, be close to Gran-Gran and the family again. I know we'll return once the restoration plans are set and final. I just wish it wasn't taking so long.

I heard someone walk into the house. I jumped up a bit from my bed, staying still so I can hear who was in the home. My bedroom door opened. "Why are you in bed so early, sugar queen?"

Oh, Toph. I sighed a little sigh of relief. After a year of being followed and the attempts from others to capture us, I still get a little jumpy when someone comes into the house unannounced.

"Oh, hey Toph. I was just taking a little nap. I'm getting up." I said softly, forcing myself out of bed.

"Is everything alright? You seem a little down." Toph said.

"Yeah, I'm alright. I'm just pretty tired." I forced a smile to hide away the fear that was firing inside me. "What have you been up to all day?"

"Oh, just setting up my Metal Bending academy. I think it's going to be a real hit! Any earth bender would be lucky to learn metal bending from me!" Toph exclaimed. I giggled at her enthusiasm. It was great seeing her so excited about her academy. She loved being a teacher to Aang, so I know she'll love doing this for other people.

"I'm glad you're excited, Toph. You worked so hard to put this all together." I smiled at her, this time not forced.

"Thanks, Katara." She looked at me for a long moment, and then smirked. "So is there anything you've been wanting to tell anybody?" She asked bluntly. I froze in my spot. I didn't know how to respond. Did she know or is she talking about something completely different?

"Uh, no? I don't know what you're talking about, Toph." I practically had to choke out the words. Playing stupid wasn't my thing, neither was lying or coming up with excuses.

"Mhmm. I don't know, Katara. It kind of feels like you're lying to me. Remember, I can tell when you're lying." She crossed her arms. "And I can feel vibrations."

Oh, spirits no. She knows.

I hung my head low and admitted defeat. There was no lying or hiding it from Toph. She was going to know. She probably knew longer than I did.

"How long did you know?" I asked quietly.

"For a little while, once I started feeling little vibrations." She admitted. "I just wasn't sure if you knew, so I didn't want to say anything. Katara, how you are going to-"

"Don't ask, because I don't even know." I said as I cut her off. I threw myself back on my bed, grabbed my pillow and covered my face. I screamed as loud as I could into the pillow. In a weird way, it helped a little bit. But my problem didn't go away.

Here I am, 14, almost 15 years old, and pregnant. I'm not married, nor do I have any plans of being married anytime soon. My almost 13-year-old boyfriend, who is also the Avatar, cannot handle a situation like this with his unique strategies or his out-of-the-box thoughts. It was all my fault. Maybe if I didn't go into his room that night, that one night, maybe this wouldn't have happened. Oh, geez. What were we thinking?

"Man, Sokka is going to flip when he finds out his baby sister is pregnant. Who do you think he's going to be more mad at?" Toph plopped down on the floor of my bedroom, attention all on me. I sat up to look at her. She had a big smile on her face, she was enjoying every moment of this.

"I don't know. Whenever I kiss Aang around him, he blames me for giving him 'oogies.' Although, this is more than just a little kiss on the lips. I don't even know how to tell him this."

"If I were you and Aang, I'd go in hiding for the next 8 months. Then, come back and say you found a baby and decided to keep him or her. It's the perfect plan!"

For a 12-year-old, she does make good plans. And I'm almost half-tempted to going into hiding from my brother and friends. I even want to go into hiding from Aang at this point. There's no way he's going to take this good.

"Maybe, but I don't think that would work." I said. "Thanks for the idea, though."

"Well, whatever you decide to do, you better do it quick."

"Why?" I asked.

"Because Sokka and Aang are home." A few seconds after she said that, I heard the boys opening the front door, jabbering away about nonsense.

"Oh, man! What do I do?" I asked quietly, being sure they didn't hear me.

"I don't know, I was never in this situation before." Toph whispered back.

"Never in what situation?" I heard Sokka ask. I looked up at my bedroom door and saw Sokka and Aang standing there, waiting for one of us to answer his question.

"Uh, I-uh…" I went blank. My entire brain felt erased and my body didn't move.

"I was uh-" Toph was trying to come up with something. "I was asking her for advice on a uh-"

"On a decoration scheme!" I blurted. "She wanted to know how she should decorate the studio, because she has never owned her own business before." I gave myself a big, innocent smile to add the finishing touch to the made up story we just gave them.

"Sounds fun." Aang said with a smile. "We brought home lunch if anybody is hungry."

"I'm starving!" Toph exclaimed. She got up and walked toward the door. "You coming, sugar queen?"

"Yeah, I am."

Sokka and Aang walked away, and Toph closed the door. She turned to me with a horrid look on her face.

"A decoration scheme?" She asked. "I wouldn't let you decorate my studio if you were the last designer in the world. But good lie. At least they bought it."

"Yeah, I'm just fortunate they dropped it there." I said. I stood up and walked toward the door, standing right next to Toph. Before she let me open the door, she grabbed my arm and looked at me with a little worry in her eyes.

"How are you going to tell him?" Toph asked.

"Who, Sokka?" I asked. "I already told you I don't know how to, or what reaction he's going to have."

"No, stupid. How are you going to tell Aang?"

Her question hit me pretty hard. I wasn't sure how I was going to tell inform Aang that I was carrying his child, and I most certainly can't imagine his reaction to the unfortunate news.

"I don't know. I know I have to tell him, especially once I start getting bigger. But I'll come up with some sort of way." I sighed. "But you have to promise me you won't tell anyone. I mean it, Toph."

"My lips are sealed." I smiled at my young friend, and then opened the door to fill the pit in my stomach this child was already creating.

Well, I hope you guys enjoyed the first chapter. More to come soon!
