Lin was sitting in her chair, feet kicked up on the desk and eyes lightly closed. She was so tired, that at this point, she didn't give a flying shit who noticed, that is until someone slammed something on her desk, nearly causing her to fall backwards. "What the fu-"

"What is this captain?"

Lin placed the legs of her wooden chair back down and leaned forward to view what was on the papers that had the Chief of police so worked up. "It's a bank transfer."

"I know."

"And I thought you were blind."

"Don't be a smart ass with me. Who's the recipient?"

"Me, oh."

"Yeah, oh. What did you need this much money for?"

Lin grabbed the keys off her desk and stood up. "It's a surprise."

"Yeah, it was a real surprise to the accountants too." The Chief threw her hands up in the air in exasperation, as she followed her daughter outside of the station. "So much of a surprise, they called me, at work! You know I hate the accountants, what makes you think I want to talk to them here?" It wasn't until they got into a car that Toph shut up. "Where are we going?"

"I am going to show you my surprise." Starting up the engine, Lin took off down the streets, a stupid smile on her face when she saw her mother's face scrunch up in fear. "You never will trust these vehicles, will you?"

"Nope. I'm just happy we aren't taking a motorbike. Can you talk to me so I don't have to think about it?"

Lin smiled as she turned her attention back to the road. "Well, the baby started kicking last night."

"Really?"

"Yeah. It didn't really faze Kya because she can feel the baby move constantly but I have never been so happy in my life. It's amazing how something started off so small and is now growing into something so big."

"You were never excited when I was pregnant with Su. What's with the sudden change?"

Lin shrugged her shoulders as she turned down a dirt road. "Not sure. At first it just seemed like the right thing to do but as time goes on I get more and more excited. I don't think I could love anything more and it's not even here yet. And Kya has gotten really aggressive in be-"

"Don't. There are some things I don't like to think about and your love life is one of them." A few more minutes later and they came to halt outside a large house, with an overgrown front yard and white paint peeling off the walls. "This is your surprise? A house with an overgrown lawn?"

"Yup. It's going to be where Kya and I live when the kid is finally here. I figure that when we go back home after the kid is born, I drive Kya here instead. The inside has been totally refurbished, there is a large backyard and a stream that is perfect if the kid turns out to be a waterbender. After we settle in, Kya and I can fix up the exterior together, while the little badgermole sleeps on their little mat outside!"

Toph dug her toes into the soft soil, getting a feel for the area her grandchild will live in. "Wow. You've really thought this through."

Rubbing the back of her neck in embarrassment, a blush found itself on the captain's face. "Uh, yeah. I'm going to be a parent so I needed to think about this." Desperate to get off of the topic, Lin took her mother's hand in her own and pulled her inside the home and up the stairs. "The outside isn't even the best part! I'm in the process of making a safety gate for the stairs so when the baby starts crawling, I don't have to worry about them falling and breaking their neck."

"I never did that for our house."

"Yeah, and Su still has the scar on her head as evidence." They entered the room at the end of the hall where there was a large window allowing for ample amounts of sunlight to enter the room. The walls were painted a light green and blue, complementing each other in an odd way. A crib was in the centre of the room, rocking gently thanks to the breeze coming in through the window. "This will be the baby's room."

Toph stepped inside and walked around, trying to get a feel for the space that would soon become her grandchild's. "It feels, safe and peaceful. I can smell the fresh air from outside which is a nice change from the city."

"That's why I bought the place. It is the perfect place for a child to grow up. And check this out. Hold out your hand."

Toph complied with her daughter's request, what mother couldn't after witnessing their child be the happiest they have been in the last few years? Taking the object into her hands, she ran a ringer over the metal badgermoles. "It's a mobile. You know, I made one when I found out I was pregnant with you. It even played music." Toph twisted the top where the hanger connected to the base, then held it up. Smiling as she felt it rotate slowly and a traditional Earth Kingdom lullaby played.

"Actually, it's the same one. I went into the your attic a month ago to see what we had and I came across it. It had dints and the prongs of the music box were bent out of shape. There was also a crack that went down the middle. It took me a month but I managed to fix it and retu-" Lin was pulled into a hug and was surprised to find her mother crying. "Mum?"

"Shut up. You have become such a softie thanks to this kid and it has brought out the best in you. It has been such a long time since I've felt you this happy. Every time Kya drops by the office, I feel your heart rate increase like a teenage girl when she sees her crush. You have grown so much in the past few months thanks to her and I keep thinking of how much of a great mother you will be. Kya is lucky to have you."

Lin let out a shaky breath as she tried to hold back tears of her own. "Thanks mum. So do you think Kya will like it?"

"She'll love it."

Lin arrived home late, to find the lights to the apartment turned off, indicating that Kya was most likely asleep. "Last time I switch a day shift for a night shift with someone." She silently took off her armour before walking into the bedroom that she shared with Kya. Slinking into bed, she wrapped an arm around Kya's waist and pulled her close to her chest. Letting her hand travel upwards to settle on Kya's bulging stomach, she felt a light kick against her palm. "I know I'm late, but don't wake your mother."

Lin wiggled herself lower in the bed until her head rested against her love's lower back. "I can't wait for you to see your new room. Grandma Toph likes it and she doesn't like much, so I can only take that as a good sign." A smile found itself on her lips as she remembered something. "The Chief made a comment about how my heart still beats really fast when I see your mother, well I too noticed something, my mother's heartbeat also increases when she sees Kya." Another small kick was felt. "Sorry, when she 'feels' Kya. It started ever since I told her we were having you. The old bat is nearly as excited as I am." When she didn't get a response from the foetus, she let out a sigh. "You're right. Time for us to sleep, I'll talk to you tomorrow, baby girl."
