There was a knock at the door.
"I'll get it!" A very pregnant Katara screamed to Aang, who was making lunch for 9 year old Bumi and 5 year old Kya. Katara toddled to the door to see who was there. She opened it to find Fire Lord Zuko and Jingbo, the head Air Acolyte and the leader of the Avatar Preservance Comittee.
"Zuko!" She squeeled, lunging for his neck. They hugged in a warm embrace, Zuko being as careful as possible around her bulging stomach.
"And Jingbo! So good to see you!" She bowed respectfully, almost loosing her balance.
"Who is it, Sweetie?" Aang asked, coming in from the other room.
"It's Zuko and Jingbo!" Katara said delightfully.
"Sifu Hotman! Good to see you." Aang said, hugging the Fire Lord.
Zuko sighed at the pesky nickname but smiled anyway.
"And Jingbo! What brings you to out home?"
"Well, sir, I have some very important information to discuss with you and your wife." Jingbo said seriously.
Katara grasped Aang's hand in fear.
"Why is Zuko here, then?"
"Well, he wanted to visit and watch over the kids while we talk."
On cue, Kya and Bumi ran in from the other room.
"Uncle Zuko!" Kya squealed.
"I knew you were here!" Bumi said.
They both ran to him, bowed respectfully, then lunged at his legs to hug him. Zuko knelt down to hug them, smiling.
"Where's Cousin Izumi?" Bumi inquired.
"And where's Aunt Mai?" Kya whined.
"And Who's the bald guy?" Bumi asked.
"This Jingbo. He was one of the first Air Acolytes and now runs it! He is also very important in preserving the Avatar for-" Katara stopped talking because Bumi wasn't listening any more. Most of the time they asked questions, but didn't wait for answers.
"Why don't we go somewhere more private, shall we?" Aang motioned to the study where he meditated. Aang and Katara sat next to each other as Jingbo positioned himself uncomfortably on the cushions. Katara continued to grasp on to Aang's hands.
"We have some very important things to discuss." Jingbo said, furrowing his brow.
