Sorry for the long wait. It took me a few days to get this finished, then I sent it to my beta, who was away from the computer for a while, so that's why it took longer than I would've liked. Anyway, I should first say that some of these chapters take place during one of the scenes I had in LGO. Kinda like an unheard conversation that was going on (if that makes even the slightest sense).

Anyway, this scene takes place in chapter nine, when Toph told Katara that she was pregnant… possibly with twins. Some of the dialogue at the beginning and end may seem familiar. Those were taken from LGO. Just thought I'd letcha all know!

I'm not gonna put a disclaimer at the beginning of each chapter since it's a pain in the ass, so I updated the introduction page thing and put a disclaimer there. Anyway, on with the story!


Katara lay in her room, waiting for Aang to return with Toph. Could her suspicions be true? Could she really be… pregnant? She hoped Toph would be able to tell this early on. She suspected that she was only a week or two along, going by the last time she and Aang had slept together… Aang. What would he say about this? Of course she and Aang have talked about having children, but they were going to wait a while before trying to conceive… As the young waterbender started to think things through with herself, she heard a few voices coming from the main room. Knowing it was Aang, Toph, and probably Haru, Katara sat up straight in the bed.

"What's up?" Toph asked quietly as she entered the room behind Aang. The Avatar had called upon her when she and Haru were taking a walk around the city. He said how Katara was sick, and how she was asking for her blind friend.

"Um," Katara sighed as she looked back at Aang and Haru. "Do you guys mind if you give us a little privacy?"

"Uh, sure…" Aang said slowly, not having a clue what was going on. "Why do you…?"

"Thanks Aang," Katara smiled sweetly before the Avatar could finish.

Aang and Haru walked out of the room and closed the door.

"So, what's up?" Toph asked again, making her way to the bed slowly, trying not to bump into anything. Katara stood up, grabbed her hand, and led her over to sit on the bed.

"I…" Katara blushed. "I think… Well, there's a possibility that I might be… you know… pregnant."

Toph's eyes widened. "Really?"

Katara nodded. "Yes. Do you think that maybe you'll be able to feel any vibrations of a baby if you touched my stomach?" she asked her friend, who finally understood why Katara had asked for her.

"I don't know," Toph said, "but I'll try."

Katara grabbed the blind woman's hand and placed them on her belly. The earthbender closed her eyes and concentrated. The next twenty or thirty seconds went by silently as Katara felt her friend moving her hands up and down her stomach, searching for another life inside the waterbender. After what seemed like forever, she spoke up. "I think I feel something in there, like another heartbeat, but…" She fell silent once again, her hand still moving along the waterbender's abdomen. "…There's definitely something in there, and I'm pretty sure it's a baby."

Katara smiled. "Are you sure?"

"Either that or you need to get to the infirmary right now!" Toph said with a small laugh as she took her hand off her friend's stomach. "I'm positive it's a baby… And if I'm not mistaken, I thought I heard two separate heartbeats, other than your own, I mean."

Katara's jaw dropped. "W-what do you mean?" she asked, knowing fully well what she meant.

"I mean that you might be having twins," Toph explained.

"A-are you sure?" Katara put her own hands on her stomach as if she was trying to sense the two heartbeats Toph claimed to have felt.

"Well, no, they're very faint, but I thought I felt two… I can't be sure until the baby, or I guess, babies grow. If you'd like, I can check again in maybe a month or two. I'll be able to know for sure then."

"Yeah… that'd be great," Katara said, not knowing what else to say. Was she really ready for twins? She had only been married a few short weeks! She was hoping to wait at least a few more months before she had even one child. 'Oh well,' she thought, 'I guess I don't really have too much of a choice now…'

"You gonna tell Aang?" Toph asked her. "You know, about the twins?"

The waterbender thought for a few seconds before shaking her head. "No, I want to be sure before I tell him… If I tell him…"

Toph nodded her understanding before she and Katara got up and headed out to tell the men the news.

"Aang," Katara said, her voice shaking with the anticipation of telling him the news. "Aang, this is fantastic!" she continued, swinging her arms around his neck.

"What's fantastic?" he asked, taking her hands off of his neck and holding them in his hands. "Katara, what's going on? You have been acting strange all week. I want to know what's going on, and I want to know right now. Are you sick or what?" Katara knew that Aang was frustrated with her. She knew that he thought she was keeping something from him; something highly important. 'Well, I am,' she reasoned.

"I'm not sick," Katara nearly screamed, shaking even more with happiness. "I'm pregnant!"


The long-ass author's notes from hell return!

Okay, first of all, I'm aware that in chapter nine of LGO, when Aang and Haru are talking while Katara and Toph are in the other room, they're talking for maybe a minute; possibly two, and this scene here probably happened in about five or ten minutes. So either I made a mistake (at that point, I didn't plan on doing any oneshots) or time goes by quicker in Katara's bedroom. I'd probably go with the latter. Makes me look better! XD

Second, I know this probably wasn't what you had in mind. You were pro'lly thinking that there'd be oneshots that take place after, or maybe even before LGO. I promise, I have many, many ideas for ones that take place somewhere between the last chapter and the epilogue, and one or two that are before the story begins, so those are coming, as well as a few other chapters that happen during the story!

Anyway, as forever and always, NO idea when I'll get the next oneshot up (I'm hoping to have the next one up before the 30th since I'm leaving for school on that day. But fear not! I'll still be doing these oneshots!), please leave a review, and thank you daydream11 for agreeing to put up with me for a little while longer! (I know I couldn't do it!)
