Hey peeps! First AtLA fanfiction! (to go online that is). I got this idea from one of the fanfictions I read called 'The Avatars Daughter: Missing' by FoFoCuddlypoops108. If you are a fan of Harry Potter and have read my fanfic called Confrontation, I suggest you stop reading this now, because I can guarantee that you will be thinking in your head 'wow, this sounds too much like that other story she wrote about harry telling his kids about his past. This is more of a revelation, Aangs kids realizing just how powerful their father is. Of course, it won't be as sappy as Confrontation, like the kids won't freak out or anything. Alright, well, here it is now!
"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-dong!" blazed the doorbell. The Avatars family was sitting on cushions around the low table, but as soon as the kids heard the doorbell pushed at least ten times, they knew it was their uncle Sokka and they all jumped up and rushed to the door screaming "Uncle Sokka! Uncle Sokka!"
Aang rolled his eyes and looked at Katara, who shrugged. "We did invite him over," she said. Aang chuckled and stood up.
"Well, we better go answer the door before the kids attack your brother," Aang said, pretty much dismissing their dinner. Katara got up to follow him down the hallway, where the kids had already opened the door to reveal Sokka, Suki and as an extra surprise Toph still in her chief's uniform holding little Lin who was about the same age as Aang's and Katara's youngest, Tenzin.
"Sokka! Suki! Toph!" Katara called happily as she rushed over to give her brother and sister-in-law a hug before turning to hug Toph and Lin. "It's so good to see you all."
"Good to see you too Sugar queen," Toph replied, unconsciously using her nickname for Katara as she received her hug. "And you Twinkletoes." Aang laughed at his old nickname.
"How have you all been?" asked Aang as he walked over to greet them. "It's been so long."
"We've been terrific," replied Suki. "Sokka and I-"
"We've missed you down at the station, Aang," Toph cut in. "Where've you been?"
"I've been taking some time off to spend with the kids before, well, you-know-what," Toph nodded, and Katara looked suspiciously at her husband.
"You-know-what?" she began, but Aang waved his hand, dismissing the subject.
"Eh-hem?" Sokka coughed. "I believe Suki was trying to tell us all something before she was so rudely interrupted," he glared at Toph even though it was useless.
"I'm sorry Suki, what were you saying?" Aang apologized.
"Oh, nothing," she replied. "Just that, well, I'm pregnant!"
Everything was silent for a few seconds as the news sunk in. Then, there were gasps and cheers and calls of congratulations. Aang slapped Sokka on the back.
"Congratulations brother," he said. "When'd you find out?"
"Just last week," Sokka replied. "We wanted you all to be the first to know, seeing all that we went through together."
"Well, it's about time!" Toph said. "All the rest of us have kids, and we've been waiting on you!" Sokka rolled his eyes.
"Jeez Toph, if it mattered that much to you, we'd have done it long ago," mocked Sokka. Toph smiled, her unseeing grey eyes twinkling.
"Why thanks buddy. But seriously, congratulations. We're all incredibly happy for you," she said. Sokka smiled.
"Thanks," he said. "That means a lot." Just then, Toph felt a tug on her uniform. She looked down, and even though she couldn't see she knew it was Tenzin.
"Can Lin and I go play?" he asked sweetly. Lin started squirming in Toph's arms. Toph nodded and put her down. Tenzin started showing off, and he made himself an air-scooter and raced away with Lin, Kya and Bumi chasing after him.
"That's quite the little prodigy you got there," Suki commented to Aang. Aang nodded in reply.
"I'm so proud of him," he said. "In just a few more years, he should be ready to earn his tattoos."
"That's great!" Suki, Toph and Sokka all said at once. Aang and Katara beamed.
"He's really looking forward to it," Katara added. "He's been practicing every day, trying to catch up to Kya with her water bending, but since she's so much older than him, we thought it was going to take awhile. But he's proving us wrong."
"If there's one good thing about being the Avatar," Aang said, "Its being able to train all your kids, no matter what their element." Toph, Sokka and Suki all laughed. Just then they all heard a crash coming from the living room.
"Why don't we go see what the kids are doing?" asked Katara nervously. They all rushed in the living room to find the couch tipped over and all the kids huddling in the corner, probably scared by the noise. When the adults walked in, all the kids pointed at Tenzin.
"Tenzin did it!" they all accused. Tenzin looked on the verge of tears. The adults all chuckled.
"It's alright Tenzin," Aang walked over to comfort his son. "Was it an accident?" Tenzin nodded. "Then it's all ok," he said and raised his hands. A sudden gust of wind picked up the couch and flipped it into its normal position.
"See," Aang knelt next to Tenzin. "It's all fixed now!" Tenzin rubbed his eyes and nodded.
"I think we should probably go outside," Katara suggested. "It's nice and cool this time of year, and there is plenty of room for the kids to all play." The others all nodded in agreement. Katara picked up Tenzin, Toph picked up Lin, Kaya and Bumi trotted behind their father and the others followed as Aang led them out back.
As soon as they were outside in the nighttime air, the kids squirmed out of their parents arms and chased each other around. The adults went and sat on the comfortable patio cushions where they could keep an eye on the little ones (or in Toph's case, a foot). They just sat there for a little while until Sokka spoke up.
"I hope our kid is a non-bender," he said.
"Why is that?" Katara asked curiously.
"It's just watching our niece and nephew make me realize how hard having a bending child can be. And it's not like we'll be able to keep up with them like Aang did in there. Neither of us are benders."
"It's not that hard! I love the fact that two our kids are benders!" Aang said. "But Bumi is a double challenge and he's not a bender. It just goes to show ya, it all depends on the kid."
"And we'll love our child whether it's a bender or not," Suki said defensively.
"That's not what I- oh, never mind," Sokka sighed causing everyone to burst out laughing. When the laughter calmed down, Toph cleared her throat.
"So, Aang," she began. "No rush, but how long is this vacation of yours going to be? We really need you back at the station. Well, I don't need you, but everyone else does."
"How bad is it?" asked Suki, concerned.
"Well, crime is up by at least twenty percent," replied Toph. "I don't get it. It's like all the bad guys are suddenly deciding 'oh hey, let's make the chief of police's life miserable and do as many horrible things as we can all at once.'"
"I'm sorry Toph," Aang replied. "I can be there bright and early tomorrow morning if things are really that bad." Toph sighed in relief.
"Thanks Twinkletoes," she said. "And can I talk to you in private for a second?"
"Sure," Aang stood up, a little worried now. Toph gave him a reassuring look and they walked inside, Aang leading the way.
"What is it, Toph?" Aang asked quietly.
"Aang, this has been bugging me for awhile, which is why I couldn't wait until tomorrow. Remember Yakone?" Aang let out an involuntary growl.
"How could I forget?" he practically snarled at the memory.
"Well, he got his bending back." Aang stared dumbfounded at her for several seconds; so long that Toph thought he didn't hear her. "I said-"
"I know what you said," Aang interrupted. "I just can't quite process it. You mean Yakone got his bending back? He can bloodbend?"
"What part of he got his bending back didn't you understand?"
"I'm sorry!" Aang held up his hands. "I just thought it was impossible for, you know, after I took it away permanently. . ."
"I did too, Twinkletoes," replied Toph. "But apparently we were both wrong this time. And there's another thing." Aangs face darkened.
"What is it?" Toph hesitated. "What is it!" Aang demanded. Toph flinched. She could feel his blood pressure rise as his anger peaked.
"He's sworn revenge out to you and your family," she said quietly.
A/N: I know, I'm evil for leaving it off now, with this nice big cliffhanger and such. I didn't intend for this to be a multiple shot, but that's just how it's gonna turn out. I can't write the rest of this tonight, it's late, I'm tired and I have a party to go to tomorrow. I'll write the first few paragraphs of the next chapter tonight so that I don't forget my awesome idea, but then it's off to bed for me! I probably won't have time to write for a day or so, so I'll post the next chapter when I can. I'm starting too really like this idea. But I hope you all do to. Let me know what you think and review! Please! Pretty please! Mmk, love ya!
