*Tap, tap, tap*

Toph could feel the rain hit the small house. She hated it, rain always had made her off edge, it made it hard for her to concentrate. But it also reminded her of him... The obnoxious idiot she had fallen for as a young girl. So there she sat, remembering the years of her youth, the years he annoyed her, and loved her...

*Tap, tap, tap*

There was a knock at the door of her room, he knew he didn't have to knock, she had already felt him move across the floor.. She gave him permission to enter but something was wrong, she felt his heartbeat race at her voice, at her call to him. He entered the room, holding something behind him...

"Whatcha got the Snoozles?"

He didn't speak. His head raced trying to find the answer..

"Well? you gonna tell me or just stand there?"

Again he stood there but this time he managed to talk.

"I-I m-made something f-for you..."

She glanced at him with her eyes that shimmered like an emerald, those eyes he could stare at forever.

"Well then. You gonna show it to me or not?"

The boy gulped, and once again the girl became impatient with him, but she controlled her anger.

"Sokka what's wrong? you never get like this around me..."

The boy tried to find words..

"Hun... we've been together for a long time now..."

The girl started to worry, the boy started to shake even more.

"Uh-huh I know..."

The boy walked over to her and sat next to her telling her to sit down on the ground in front of him facing the opposite way. She did as she was told

"Sokka what are you doing?"

The boy was placing a small emblem tied to a rope over her head.

"hold still I need to tie the knot..."

The girl started to cry as she realized what he had made for her.

"Oh Sokka..."

He smiled when he finished tying and told her to reassure what it was.

"Toph? Will you marry me?"

*Tap, tap, tap*

She felt the kicks in her stomach... and the heart of another life in her. Sokka laughed as he felt the baby kick.

"I think we have an Earthbender on the way"

The girl laughed a bit and smiled as her husband kissed her cheek.

"Yes it sure feels like it"

Her friends gather around to see how she was.

"How far along are you Toph?"

The Avatar awaited the answer.

"Oh about 9 and a half months"

The waterbender joined them and sat next to her husband and handed him her baby.

"Sounds like you're about to have your baby!"

Toph laughed.

"I'm ready to get it out of me, it's not fun carrying around an extra 9 pounds all over the place.

Katara laughed as well.

"Oh I know, I had to carry around Bao Yu for those 9 months."

suddenly Toph stoped laughing, she lost grip of her tea cup, and it shattered on the floor. Sokka looked at her worried and pale faced.

"Toph?"

Toph was about to faint.

"It's time"

*Tap, tap, tap*

A knock at the door, Toph had expected this, her husband was finally home and she was happy he was, the south pole wasn't her friend without him... she couldn't even feel him at the door. As she opened her front door she expected him to hug her and maybe a kiss but all she wanted was him to hug her... but no hug came only a strangers voice.

"Toph of the Water Tribe? Wife of Sokka Chief of the Water Tribe?"

Toph stood there a momment trying to figure out what had happened

"Y-yes? I am Toph... Where's my husband?"

The stranger took a deep breath.

"I'm sorry... Sokka has died in battle with the Avatar, he saved the Avatar's life for the sake of his own... took a lightning bolt to the chest, the medics tried to heal him.. and even the Great Katara couldn't find a way to help her own brother..."

Toph stood there and tear's began to form in her small emerald eyes.

"I'm really sorry mam, here is his uniform... and we found a note on him... your eyes only..."

as the man turned Toph grabbed his shoulder..

"Please could you just read it to me? I'm blind..."

By now the man almost couldn't understand her but he took the note and read it aloud to her.

"To my dearest Toph, I know I haven't lived up to my promises to always be there to care for you, and hold you when you are crying, and make you laugh when you're down... but I promise when I get home from the war, I'll never leave you again... I love you Hun...

-Sokka"

Toph was shaking... She thanked the man and went into her house where she sat... She laid the uniform out onto a mannequin that resembled him... And there she sat... Listening to the rain, waiting... Knowing he would keep his promise, he was home, with her... and he wasn't going to leave.

A/N: Oh my gosh... that was by far the hardest ending I have ever wrote for any of my stories or chapters... please leave a review for me, and say what you thinked of the story, and if I should write more! of course it wouldn't be related to this setting but maybe another about Toph and Sokka getting together... thanks for reading hope you all enjoyed! *BRO/BROET FIST!*
