A/N: While writing I came up with the inspiration to do the twins. So this chapter is basically the same, with the exception being the mention of the twin boys. Don't fear… ch 3 will be up soon!

Mother!

Chapter 1

The shuttle was loaded with the group of diplomats and scientists along with as many of the supplies that would fit. On queue the group put on their masks and watched as the ramp lowered. Senator Mackenzie lead the group. While in the pictures the 'hells gate' was a flat gravel courtyard with walls, after fifteen years, the walls had been torn down and the human colony looked more like the surrounding area.

There was a group of humans and the ten feet tall Na'vi waiting for them as they entered. The male Na'vi at the center stepped forward, "Mom?"

Sam MacKenzie looked up at the ten foot tall man who was clearly a Na'vi… but sounded like her son. "Excuse me?"

The man approached her, knelt down on one knee, "Mom, it's Jake. You're son."

She breathed in, "Oh, right, the Avatar project. You're in some tube somewhere controlling a Na'vi body." She reached up to stroke his face, it looks like you and your brother.

He sighed, obviously not telling her something, "What?"

"Mom, after the people left for earth, I was able to transfer my consciousness from my human body to this one permanently." His eyes showed his fear of rejection, "but it's still me."

Sam looked into his face and saw… her son. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders, hugging him in a silent acceptation of him. Yes he was a few inches taller than her while on his knees, yes he was blue and had a tail, but he was her son. "So, what have you been up to over the last 15 years?"

"I'm married and we have three children, two boys and a girl."

Sam smiled, stroking her son's face, "I can't wait to meet them."

The humans who had been living on Pandora for the past 15 years had prepared a debriefing for the new people. They had much more in-depth information about the culture of the Na'vi than had been known 15 years before. The scientists had even written textbooks in their spare time. One on the Na'vi and more on the plants and animals on Pandora and even another that describes the nervous system that connected every living thing on the planet. Sam smiled. She knew that with this information they could really make the legislation stick when they return to earth. Heck… they could even try to bring earth's ecosystem back to life with this information.

When their presentation was over, one of the scientists, Norman she thought his name was, came over to her. "Mrs. Sully?"

"It's Mrs. Mackenzie. I remarried 20 years ago. Call me Sam. Where's Jake?"

"He's outside. I have a oxygen supply for you, he wants to take you to his home to meet his wife and children."

She smiled, "How are we getting there?" Norman didn't answer, he just smiled.

After she had her oxygen supply that would last a few days and her mask was secured, she followed Norman outside, and saw her giant son, and something… it reminded her of a pterodactyl. "What?"

"Mom, this is my Ikran, his name is Ska'lik. It means mighty in the Na'vi's language."

Sam swallowed, "Nice to meet you Salik." She said, pronouncing it wrong, "How are we getting to your, um, family's dwelling?"

"Ska'lik will give us a ride."

"What?"

"I promise that I'll keep you safe mom." He said with a smile. Despite everything that had happened since they'd seen each other, so much about her was the same. It was so obvious that she was trying to be brave, but it was obvious that she was petrified of his Ikran. "Try touching his head." When she didn't move, "Mom, when I ride with Ska'lik, our minds are connected. He follows my instructions perfectly, and he will fly straight and even all the way home, okay, and I promise that you will be safe riding in front of me."

"Okay." Sam said her voice still shaking, but she stepped forward and looked up at the animal who's back was higher than her head, "I could use some help though."

Jake lifted his mother and was surprised on how light she felt, like his young children. He placed her on the back and swung up behind her, connecting his braid to Ska'lik's antennae. With extra care he held onto Ska'lik with one hand and his mother with the other, holding her secure against his much larger torso. "All right, ready for takeoff?"

"As I'll ever be." She answered.

Jake smiled and silently told his Ikran to take off but to try and remain steady. Not that he couldn't hold onto his mother in any flight condition, but he just didn't want to freak her out. Once they were airborn, he didn't speak, keeping his eyes and ears concentrated on his surroundings, keeping an eye out for any air predators that might think them easy pickings.

Two hours of a fairly uneventful flight and Sam saw ahead of her a large tree sticking out of the vegetation around it… "Jake, is that it?"

"Yep mom, that's my home."

TBC…

A/N: Next Jake's mom meets the wife and her grandchildren… I welcome reviews, ideas, thoughts, ect. It gives me a warm fuzzy feeling!
