Lin was beyond nervous. Why now? Why couldn't this happen later after I was chief. Would he have waited for me, of course he would he loves me. What if he doesn't take it good, what if it's an earthbender. He won't leave, right? He knows the chances, I don't know if I can raise a kid on my own what if my a terrible mother. But Tenzin will help even if it is an earthbender, right? All these thoughts keep racing through her head as she walking home to get ready for her date with Tenzin.

Mean while at Air Temple Island Tenzin was dealing with his own crisis. He was pacing back and forth in his room, half dressed, holding the necklace he had made for Lin with a tight grip. What's the worst that could happen? I mean she could say no but I know we would still be together. geez Tenzin get a hold if yourself this is Lin you're talking about. I know she said she never wanted to get married but I love her and I know she feels the same way. If she says yes then maybe we can start trying, but she wants to wait till after she is chief. You're getting ahead of yourself Tenzin, first talk her into marrying you then bring up the idea of children. The thought about Lin pregnant with his children stopped him in his tracks. Then he thought about how much trouble the children would get in to if they were anything like their mother. This caused him to laugh at the thought of Lin trying to control the children if they were airbenders but thhe earthbenders would be much all of his worries just disappeared, he knew that no matter what Lin and him were going to be together no matter what happened.

Lin was standing in front of her closet in her bindings looking for something to wear. She unconsciously ran her hand over her abdomen trying to feel the baby's heartbeat. She had noticed that bending was off because she wasn't able to use her seismic sensing, which lead her to visit a healer who then informed her that she was pregnant which was causing the problems with her said that further into the pregnancy she should limit her bending because it would cause complications with the Lin was told this she knew she would have to tell her mother because it would affect her job, and since her mother was a big a mouth and would tell everyone in the station, she figured it would be best to tell Tenzin first since he was the father. She smiled at the thought of her and Tenzin raising a family together. She knew that he would love the baby no matter what element it bends.

"Hi baby, I know you can't hear me and I'm probably a crazy person but I already love you so much and I'm pretty sure your dad does, too. And if he doesn't I'll just beat him up later." Lin chuckled at herself for already teaching the baby about violents and she was definitely sure that Tenzin would not approve of that.

Once he was finally dressed, Tenzin ran to get his glider, when he was stopped by his nephew, Koda. "Uncle Enzin you go see aunie Linny?", asked the energetic 3 year old.

Tenzin lower himself to the grey-blue eyed child's level and said, "Yes, young man. Now aren't you suppose to be with your father?"

"No, he busy helping mama wih Kayo."

"Well, then lets go see if we can go find your grandmother then."

"NO, I mean she busy wih suff."

"Koda, I'm sure she would love to spend time with you."

"Bu uncle bumbum say go alk wih uncle Enzin."

Tenzin sighed, he should have known that his brother had something to do with this. He picked up his nephew, "Come on lets go see if Uncle Bumi will play with you."

"Yayyyy!" Tenzin suddenly got a very childish idea in his head and even though he was going to be late he figured he might as well have a good story to tell Lin.

"Koda, I'm sure uncle Bumi would love it if you should him the new waterbending moves that your parents taught you."

"Bu, mama say no hih peoples only if hur yous."

"Uncle Bumi is different, he likes fighting."

"Who likes fighting, Tenten? Not you thats for sure, makes me wonder what Linny sees in you."

Tenzin frowned at his childhood nickname, " If you'll excuse me Bumi, I have date with Lin."

"Are you finally gonna propose?"

Tenzin cleared his throat, "Yes." And with that he turned around and left, and ran out of the temple, throw his glider in the air and was on his way to see Lin. In the distance he could hear Bumi getting waterbended at, he was definitely going to get yelled at when he returned.

Lin was worried, Tenzin was almost 20 minutes late, and he is never late, except that one time when he was 2 minutes late and he keep apologizing the entire time. She started to think worse case scenarios, what if got attacked by one of the triads, or his glider could have failed and he fell in the bay. Your over acting, get ahold of yourself, stupid hormones. Just then there was a knock at the door, she got up and opened the door to find Tenzin. She was so relieved to see him that she jumped into his arms. Tenzin was suprised that Lin didn't sence him but he caught her and held her close to him.

"Lin, is everything all right?"

"Yeah, I was just worried about you since you're so late. Let me get my coat and you can apologize on our way to the restaurant." He laughed at her comment because thats exactly what he was planning in doing until he proposed. He suddenly got nervous again, then he saw her and for some reason she looked more beautiful then ever.

"What are you staring at airhead?"

"Lin, you look especially lovely this evening."

"You don't look so bad yourself, for an airhead." Crap, he can tell. "Come on airhead before we lose our reservation."

"What's a few more minutes, besides you're the Captain of Police and I'm the second to last airbender. I'm sure they can make an exception," and with that he closed that gap between them.

Lin loved the way his lips felt on hers, as if they were made just for her. Tenzin deeped the kiss, causing Lin to moan. She hasn't noticed that he moved them out of the door way and onto her couch. In between kisses and moans Lin tried getting Tenzin to stop, "Tenzin-hurry up-eat fast-we-continue-later."

He stopped sat up pulling Lin with him saying "Fine," with a sign.

She gave him a quick peck on the cheek, "Come on airhead, I'm starving,"

Once they reached the restaurant Tenzin told the waiter at the door his name, the waiter then told him that they gave their table up. Tenzin then asked the man was there any possible way for them to get a table. Tenzin come back to Lin with a disappointed look,

"They said it's an hour's wait."

"Now if you were annoyly on time like you usually are we wouldn't be having this problem and I would have been eating my dessert by now."

"I said I was sorry like 50 times already."

"You never did tell me why you were late."

"I ahhhhh was mhmmm helping Kya with Koda," she is going to know that I am lying.

Lin rolled her eyes, "Fine, whatever. Can you just find me something to eat, I'm really hungry."

"We can go to Narook's, if you're really that hungry."

"It's like a 30 minute walk, plus they don't have many vegetarian options."

"If we take my glider we'll be their in 10 to 15 minutes. And I'll just eat noodle and soup."

Lin wasn't a big fan on flying, it always made her feel sick and now she wasn't sure if she would actually get sick. But she was hungry, "Fine, we'll take your stupid glider."

Lin locked her arms and legs around Tenzin and closed her eyes shut. He smiled, he liked having Lin close to him, he opened his glider and took off. Lin didn't feel the usually wave of nause that hit her ever time she flew. This time was different like a weight was lifted off of her. She unlocked her arms, let go of Tenzin and started laughing. Tenzin was surprised, not once had she ever done that. She pulled up to lock her arms around his neck, both had smiles on their faces. Lin hadn't noticed that they were on the ground.

"Lin you can let go now."

"I think I'm good here. Can we go flying again?"

"But I thought that you were hungry?"

She had completely forgot that she was hungry, she just wanted to be up in the air with Tenzin, that was until she smelled the seal jerky. Lin jumped out of Tenzin's arms causing him to fall but she hadn't noticed. Tenzin was on the ground laughing, after awhile he got up and went into the resturant. He found Lin already sitting at a table drinking her tea.

"I hope you ordered one for me, too."

"Yes and I also took the liberty of ordering your food."

"Thank you, that was very kind of you", he said while taking his seat.

"Kindness has nothing to do with it, the waitress was just kept staring at me because of how much food I ordered."

"Any how, thank you."

"You're welcome airhead", just then the food had arrived.

Tenzin didn't touch his food, we was in aww of how much food Lin had eaten. 3 orders of seal jerky, 2 bowls of Five Flavored Soup and she was on her 3 bowl of Seaweed Noodles as well as eating some of his vegetables and half of his rice.

"What are you staring at airhead?"

"I'm just suprised at how much food you have eaten."

"What are you saying Tenten, that I'm fat or something."

"No, Lin, I'm just saying that I know your job is physically demanding and you need food for energy. But I've never seen you eat this much before."

"For your information airhead, I didn't eat lunch today," it was a lie, she did have lunch, a really big one in fact. She didn't want to tell him just yet thought so she lied to him.

"Oh well then, you shouldn't be skipping lunch, it's not good for your health."

"Whatever airhead", she said with her mouth full, "Are you going to eat your vegetables?"

Normal Lin didn't like vegetables, but she was craving them, Tenzin just handed her his plate, he would eat later.

A waiter came by and asked if they would like dessert, Tenzin ordered 2 fruit pies. Lin then asked for a third. Do it now, before the waiter comes back with the pies. Tenzin cleared his throat causing Lin to look up.

"Lin, it a custom from my mother's tribe that I propose with a one of a kind hand crafted bethrothal necklace. Lin Bei Fong would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" Just as Lin was about to answer a women walked by, "Oh my! Avatar Aang's son is proposing to the Chief's daughter." This caused everyone in the resturant to look at them and waiting for Lin to say yes.

Lin didn't know how to say no. Tenzin known she didnt want to get married but she couldn't say no to him with all these people watching. So she grabbed him and took him outside to the balcony.

"Tenzin you know I don't want to get married."

"Yes, Lin I know but I love you more then anything and I want us to be together forever."

"Tenzin there is something I have to tell you and I'm not sure how you're going to take it."

"Lin you can tell me anything, you know that."

"I'm pregnant."

For a long time he didn't doing anything but breathe. He keep trying to think of what to say. Lin tried reading him, but he just stood there like a wall, not moving not blinking. Just standing there with his mouth open. Lin was about to walk away when Tenzin pulled her into his arms and hugging her so tightly.

"You're not mad?"

"Mad? Why would I be mad? You just made me the happiest man in the whole world. When did you find out? How far along are you?"

"I found out this afternoon and I'm not sure, maybe 2 or 3 months. So you're happy then?"

"Of course I am. Now about that question I asked you early,I would very much like an answer."

"Tenzin, I do love more then you could possible know, I just don't know if I want to get married."

"I understand Lin."He signed, he was disappointed that Lin didn't want to get married, but he was over joyed that they were going to have a child. Lin could see the small hint of disappointment in his eyes.

"Yes."

"Yes, what?"

"Yes I will marry, someday."

"You really mean that?"

"Of course, airhead, I love you and maybe sometime in the future we will get married."

"But that's still a yes," he then picked her up kissed her and began to spin her around. Lin was beyond happy, Tenzin had taken the news well and they were going to get married, not right away sometime of the baby was born and she was chief. All of a sudden she became nauseous.

"Tenzin, put me down please I don't feel so good." Lin ran to the edge of the balcony and throw up everything she had just eaten. Tenzin came ranning to Lin's side and patted her back.

"This is all your fault."

"What did I do? You're the one that ate so much."

"You got me pregnant, airhead."

"Oh right," he had forgot that little detail for a second. He also forgot to give Lin the necklace. "Lin, I forgot to give this to you." Lin took the necklace from his hand, she didn't really look at it earlier. It had a green shash with a blue medallion that had the Earth Kingdom symbol going into 2 swirls for the Air Nomad symbol.

"It's beautiful, Ten, can you help me but it on," Lin picked up her hair and Tenzin tied the necklace around her neck.

"Did she say yes?"

"I don't know, be quiet or they'll hear us." Lin and Tenzin laughed.

"Come on let's get out of here."

"But we didn't pay."

"So you don't want to go back to my place and finish what we started earlier." Tenzin's eyes practically jumped out of his head, he picked up Lin jumped of the balcony grabbed his glider and was off to his fiancée's house.
