"Mom wanted me to come get you." Bumi says sitting beside me, both our feet hanging off a cliff
"Is it here already?" I frown looking towards the horizon, I didn't want some stupid baby, our family was fine just the way it was, why did mom have to have another baby?
"You're now officially a big sister." He grins at me
"I don't want to be a big sister, Bumi."
"You know I didn't want to be a big brother either, I was even a little mad, but mostly I was worried, we're they having this baby cause I wasn't good enough, because I couldn't bend. But then, I went into the room and they handed me this squirming thing, my baby sister, and I don't have her in my arms for a minute before she started to cry. Everyone was looking at me to see what I'd do, dad was about ready to take her from me. I'm sure I looked terrified, but then I just started talking to her, moving her back and forth, and she stopped crying and just looked at me. I promised myself that she wasn't allowed to cry in front of me, as long as was around, I was going to be her protector, that is my job, Lin. She's going to be the youngest of us, do you think she'll be able to protect herself? Or know what she should and shouldn't do. Plus you get to teach her how to bend, I couldn't do that."
"If it's so much work, then maybe Kya or Izumi should do it, Kya is already good with Tenzin, She would be a good big sister for the baby."
"But that's your job, Kya can help you, but Su is going to look at you to see her big sister."
"That's her name? Su?"
"Suyin, but your mom wants to shorten it down to Su."
"I like it." I tell him, giving him a small smile "What does she look like?"
"Well, her hair is dark, like darker than yours even. And her eyes are green, lighter than yours though. She's so tiny, neither you nor Tenzin were that small."
"Can- can we go see her?" I decide, if this thing is going to be around, and I don't think I can convince mom to get rid of her, I'm not even sure I want to anymore, and it's my job to protect her, then I should at least know for sure what she looks like.
"If you want to."
"Yeah, let's go."
When we get to the room that mom and Aunt Katara had rushed into earlier I realize I don't want to go in "What's wrong Lin?" Bumi asks kneeling down in front of me, "It's okay if you want to wait, it's kinda scary, even now I get scared."
"But, you're 15, you're not supposed to get scared. And you're the best big brother ever." I point out, if I'm 6 and shouldn't be afraid then Bumi definitely shouldn't, especially with how Tenzin and Kya talk about him, he couldn't possibly fail as a big brother.
"And you'll be a wonderful big sister."
"Are you sure?"
"Totally." He promises before pushing the door open, Mom, Uncle Sokka and Zuko and Aunt Katara and Suki are all in there, but I only look at the thing squirming in the blankets that mom is holding
"Lin, meet Suyin. Su is your sister."
"Hi, Su, I'm Lin. Bumi says it's my job to protect you, so I guess you're stuck with me for a little while." I tell her, and, looking at her, I don't think it will be too bad.
