Chapter...one! I was about to say two but it's really not. So...yeah...I'm a little quicker on this one.
"Mommy!!" the little girl squealed, running as fast a three year old could.
Katara, being interrupted from a conversation with her brother, turned around, knelt down, and opened up her arms, scooping her daughter up into them.
"Hi, Baby." Katara kissed Kya's cheek.
"Uncle Sokka! Guess- guess what?" the girl's words were barely comprehendible. "I- I can Watherbend just like- just like Momma!"
The siblings laughed at her mispronunciation.
"Really?" Sokka asked. "That's amazing!"
Kya nodded proudly and smiled. "I know."
Katara placed her forehead to her daughter's and stared into her shiny grey eyes.
"Kya, why don't you go and find Daddy? I'll be in in a few minutes, okay?"
Again, Kya nodded. She was placed carefully on the ground before taking off through the village to her house.
"So can she really Waterbend?"
Katara shook her head and laughed.
"She only thinks she can. To her Waterbending means scooping up water in her hands and throwing it up into the air."
A chuckle was made from Sokka. "Don't worry. I bet she'll be as good as you one day."
"I'm trying not to get my hopes up for a bender but even if she's not I'll still love her as much as I possibly can."
"I know that, Katara. I just know how much you wanted your kid to Waterbend. That's all you would talk about before she was born."
"Well you can't have the world, I guess."
Sokka nodded and gave his sister a hug. "Though you do deserve it."
Sokka walked back to his house leaving Katara staring out to the ocean. It felt like just the other day that she found Aang in an iceberg and now they were married with a daughter. She sighed at the thought.
--
A blue curtain opened wide to a small room with a few chairs. Aang sat in one with his feet up and his eyes shut, sleeping. This didn't seem to bother Kya though. With a smirk on her face she ran up and
jumped onto his lap and snuggled up to him. The father's eyes winced and opened, looking down at his daughter.
"Well hello there."
"Hi Daddy. Shhh. I'm trying to sleep."
Aang laughed and picked up his daughter while standing up.
"I don't mean to disrupt you but it's almost time for dinner. You can't sleep right now."
"You were."
Aang's eyes softened. "You're right. Then it's a good thing you came and woke me up. Where's Mommy?"
"She- she said she's coming. She's talking to- to uh Uncle Sokka."
Aang hugged his daughter and set her down on the ground. She wandered around the room a little before coming back up to her dad with a big smile on her face.
"I can Watherbend! Like Mommy! I'm just like Mommy, right?"
"You are. You look just like her…except you've stolen my eyes."
Kya stuck out a pouting lip. "I want blue eyes like Mommy. She's pretty."
Aang's face fell slightly at her statement. He knew she was only three and she was a girl but it seemed like the only reason why she liked Aang was for him to hold her and that was it.
"Grey eyes are nice."
"But you have grey eyes. You're a boy. I'm- I'm a uh…a girl."
"Girls can have grey eyes. Uncle Sokka has blue eyes. He's a boy."
Kya shrugged. "Uncle Sokka can't Watherbend."
"I can."
Aang's attempts to try and gain his daughter's approval were failing miserably.
"Yeah but- but Mommy's better."
A door opened and shut and Kya's face lit up. "Mommy!" She ran out of the room and down a small hallway to greet her mother leaving Aang sulking.
"She's not better than me…is she?"
Katara walked into the room alone, smiling at her husband.
"Kya giving you a hard time?" she laughed.
"What? Not at all, why?"
"You look depressed."
Katara came up and gave Aang a big hug. He wrapped his arms around her waist and returned it, neither of them letting go.
"You're a fine Waterbender, Aang. You know that, right?"
"That's not what your daughter thinks."
"And you're going to believe a three year old little girl?"
Aang laughed at his stupidity. "No. I guess not."
Katara released her grip a little and set her head back to look into Aang's eyes. She closed hers and slowly came forward, capturing his lips with hers.
"Eww!"
The couple broke apart in embarrassment and looked down at a little girl in the doorway with a disgusted look on her face. Katara laughed and picked up her daughter.
"Kya can you wait for me in the kitchen? I'll be there in a minute and you can help me fix dinner."
"Okay!" And with that she waddled over to the kitchen to obey her obvious idol.
"Aang there's something I need to talk to you about."
"If it's about her not being able to Waterbend then-."
Katara shook her head and closed her eyes. Her face looked slightly worried.
"Is there something wrong?"
The woman sighed and looked back up to Aang. She crossed her arms around her stomach and took a deep breath.
"I know this wasn't planned and I know we're just getting used to having a kid but…"
Aang looked to Katara knowing what was coming. He gulped slightly.
"I…how do you feel about another?"
"Do we have a choice?"
Katara shook her head and laughed a little. "Not really." She sighed.
Aang walked back up to Katara and took her into his arms. He smiled, inhaling her sweet scent.
"That'll be just fine with me. Only under one condition- it wants to be an Airbender."
They both laughed and heard a call from the kitchen.
"I guess it's time to make dinner. Your clone is calling."
Katara playfully glared at Aang and followed her child's voice. Aang looked down to the floor once she left and sighed. He couldn't imagine another kid already but if it was with Katara, he decided that it was worth it.
A/N: Yes, another kid. Wonder if it'll be an Airbender or Waterbender? Hmmm...decisions, decisions...
