A/N- Well, for now this is a one-shot. I might expand this after I finish Heart Filled Passion.
Enjoy!
The cold rain fiercely pounded down on Toph's back as she cried into Aang's chest. The thunder rolled above them, but Toph hardly noticed it. She was crying too hard. She could feel Aang's tears hitting her face as well.
"Toph, I'm so sorry. I tried, I really, truly did. But they won't listen to me," he said solemnly.
"But you're the Avatar! Surly you can do something!" she begged as another roll of thunder boomed above them.
"They won't listen to me. No matter what I said," he said as he cried some more.
More sobs escaped her throat. "Why me?"
Aang, not knowing what to say, just held her tighter, knowing it was one of the last times he would be able to do so intimately.
The rain pounded even harder on their backs. Toph could feel the dirt beneath her bare toes turning into mud.
The wind was picking up as well. It was so strong; it literally blew Toph's hair from its bun. The long, raven locks swirled around her and Aang.
"Toph, I don't want to sound insensitive, but you should calm down a little. It's not good for you right now," he told her, stroking her hair soothingly.
"How can I calm down when everything is taking a nose dive?" she asked weakly.
"Toph, we knew this was a possibility because of your family's wealth," he whispered sadly.
"But I was always so sure you would get me out of it," Toph said.
"They wouldn't listen to reason. I told them all I could to change their minds. They didn't care. They even said it was bad," he said as he buried his face in her hair.
"How can it be bad that we love each other?" she pleaded.
"Because I'm the Avatar. They said that I shouldn't love anyone more than anyone else," he choked out.
Toph let out another sob as more thunder rolled on above their heads.
Aang lifted his hand and tilted her head upwards. "Toph, don't ever think that those people will stop me from loving you more than anything in the world. You…" he started off before moving his hand from her face to her lower stomach, "and the baby will always be first in my heart."
She gave him a weak smile.
"But what about after this arranged marriage? How can it be then?" she asked.
He looked down at her, and thought back to a couple days ago when he found out Toph was pregnant with the first child of an Avatar. He had been stunned at first, but had gotten over it quickly. He had picked her up by her waist and twirled her around, kissing her lips before lifting her up higher to kiss her stomach. Surprisingly, Toph had not been mad about the fact that Aang had picked her up, for she was too happy herself to care.
Then things had taken a turn of the worst when Aang had been told that Toph had an arranged marriage to Hann of the Northern Water Tribe, to unify the nations. But the thing was, she and Aang was madly in love, hence their baby that was soon to come.
The good news that had filled their hearts with pure joy, was now clouded over by the worst news possible.
"Toph, no matter what, I will always love you and our baby," he soothed.
Toph was silent for a while.
"I love you too Aang. And our baby," she said putting her hand over his, which was still on her stomach.
They both looked up at the same time, and they kissed, for possibly the last time.
The rain continued to pour down on them, but they hardly noticed it as they kissed, with tears streaming down their face.
It's a horrible miracle how things so great can turn out so bad.
A/N- Hope ya'll liked it. Please review.
Thanks for reading!
