Aana cradled the soft bundle wrap in a light pink blanket tiredly but still in disbelief. After all these years, after trying to run away from her destiny, after the war and the hardships, the doubt and the fear, peace had reigned and she now had something that was hers.
She couldn't say she had nothing and no one, not any longer. She had found happiness. She had made lifelong friends who had fought with her to the bitter end, she had met the love of her life (or better yet, he had found her) and now they had produced something together that was the perfect mixture of both him and her.
She rubbed a soft finger over the little girl's cheek, just watching her take little breaths. She was life and air and she represented the new, the beginning, the birth of the Air Nation.
"Have you thought of a name yet?" Katann asked as he entered the room and took a seat at her bedside in the small rocking chair.
Aana stared into the little girl's face, her grey eyes slightly open and said, "Bumi."
Katann smiled and rubbed a large hand over the little girl's tuft of black hair. "I like it."
