I love you guys. Seriously. Everyone who favorite and story alerted and reviewed. I love you all. This story is way more popular than I thought it would be. (You right know: 5 reviews is popular?) Well, I've gotten a million story alerts and favorites. So yeah. Not bad…
This is probably the last time I'll be updating within these two weeks because exam week is starting on Monday so I have to learn. Like, badly. But maybe, if I learned enough, I'll update some other time this week. Yay :D
This isn't a chapter for Pema lovers or Pemzin shippers. But don't worry. Tenzin isn't gonna cheat on her… Not completely anyway… Sort of…
Disclaimer: Still own nothing.
"Are you alright dear?"
"I'm fine" Pema said sourly as she sat down on their bed. Tenzin sat next to her and tried to put his arm around her but she pulled away.
"What is it?"
"How could you not tell me?" She yelled
"Tell you what?" Tenzin remained calm.
"About your son!" She yelled again.
"My- what? How did you even know about him!"
"I heard you speaking to your father! I can't believe you never told me!"
"I only found out this morning!"
"Give me one good reason why I should believe you!"
"I'm your loyal husband Pema. I'd never lie to you" Pema started to calm a bit.
"I-I... But-"
"I never knew about him, I swear"
"I'm sorry I didn't believe you" She hugged him "I love you Tenzin"
"And I love you Lin" His eyes widened once he realized what he said, Pema's did the same.
"What!"
"I'm sorry I didn't mean it, I-I got confused for a minute Lin! Crap!"
"I can't believe this!"
"Pema! I was just- I was confused! It was stupid! It'll never happen again I swear!"
"Get out"
"What?"
"Leave!"
"This is my home!"
"Well, I don't wanna see you anymore tonight!"
"Pema-"
"Go away!"
"Where am I supposed to go?"
"Gee, maybe you could stay with Lin! Since apparently you love her so much!"
"Pema!"
"Go away!"
Lin and Wang Fire sat at the small dinner table, eating in a comfortable silence, when they heard someone knocking on the door. Wang stood up to open but Lin stopped him. After all, it could be some crazy chi blocker equalist ready to attack and if something were to happen to him, she'd never forgive herself. She opened the door and was surprised to see Tenzin standing there.
"What are you doing here? Wife kick you out?" She smirked.
"Yes..." Oh, she was just joking. "Could I uh... Stay here for the night?" Lin rolled her eyes but she couldn't help but laugh a little.
"You're sleeping on the couch"
"That's fine… So… does this mean I can meet him now?" Lin sighed and was about to answer him, but Wang Fire walked up behind her and spoke before she could.
"What is he doing here?" He said angrily.
"Uh… Tenzin, meet Wang Fire. Sweetie" Sweetie, now that was something Tenzin never thought he'd hear Lin call someone "Meet your father…" To both Tenzin and Lin's surprise Wang stuck his hand out for Tenzin to shake.
"Nice to finally meet you" He said as he shook his father's hand "…Prick" He added before walking away.
"He's actually very nice once you get to know him. He reminds me of you… But he's right you know. You are a prick"
"Yeah… I know" He sighed. Lin gestured for him to come in.
"So… why'd she kick you out?"
"She wasn't very fond of the idea of us having a son" Tenzin decided it was best not to tell her the other reason. She laughed.
"This is funny, how?" She laughed again.
"Oh you know… It just is"
"I fail to see the humor in this"
"You fail to see the humor in everything. You're boring Tenzin"
"I am not boring!"
"Yes, you kind of are. Now, If you don't mind, I should go speak to our son"
"Wang, can I talk to you?" Lin walked into his room and sat next to him on his bed.
"You're already talking to me"
"I think that you should give him a chance. You'd like him if you got to know him"
"He broke your heart. And you're defending him?"
"I couldn't agree with you more. He's a prick, and I should hate him. But… I've gotten over it"
"You weren't over it a month ago"
"Well, the satisfaction of knowing his wife threw him out helped me get over it" He laughed and laid his head on his mothers shoulder.
"You used to love it when we visited Katara, remember?"
"Katara and Tenzin aren't the same person, they're hardly alike"
"That's true, but they both love you, and he really wants to meet you"
"We've already met"
"Go talk to him. Please, for me?"
"Spirits, the things I do for you woman!"
Tenzin was just walking around the living room looking at the photo's Lin had hung up on the wall. Most of them were of her and her mother, and there were some with Wang Fire. But… there was a photo of him too. When they were younger, he remembered exactly when this photo was taken. She was ten and he was eleven, they had been arguing about who had the better element (Something they often did) but that day was different than all the other times they argued. That was the day he admitted that he liked her. Once he said it she stood up on her toes and kissed him quickly on the mouth, not quick enough since his father managed to snap a picture. He had that photo somewhere as well… Of course he could never let Pema see it. There was another photo, taken with Wang Fire when he was just a baby. He was in her arms and he was smiling and pointing at the camera, Lin was smiling at him. He really wished she would've told him about Wang. Maybe then he wouldn't have a son who hated him, or a son with a terrible name.
"My mother says I should speak to you" A voice said behind him. Tenzin turned and saw his son.
"Hello Wang Fire" He held his hand up.
"Just Wang is fine… Father" Tenzin had no idea what to say next, and by the looks of it, neither did Wang.
"So… Why'd you do it?" Wang asked.
"To be honest… I don't know"
"That's stupid. You're stupid" Tenzin chuckled. He was just like his mother.
"I know… If it helps, I really am sorry. I didn't even know about you until this afternoon"
"It's okay. I'm sort of glad I did meet you, do you have any idea how hard it is to learn air bending without a teacher?"
"But you still did it"
"Yeah, but it was hard! I even went and visited all the airtemples to find 'inspiration' or whatever"
"And did you find any?"
"Not a thing. But… know that you're here, maybe you could help me?" Tenzin smiled.
"I'd like that" His son smiled also
"I'm still mad at you though"
"You have every right to be" Wang retreated up the stairs,and Lin came down.
"Well, you handled that well"
"I did, didn't I? Thank you… for letting me stay here"
"You're welcome" She was about to leave but he grabbed her hand and pulled her close to him.
"Lin… I never did apologize for… well, you know"
"Yes you did. You apologized several times in fact. I never forgave you of course, but you apologized"
"I'm sorry. I never meant to hurt you"
"Well, you did"
"What do I have to do to make you forgive me?"
"…Stop talking about it" She said and left.
Later, around one in the morning, she woke up and saw someone sitting at the foot of her bed. She sat up immediately, ready to attack.
"Relax" Tenzin said "It's just me"
"That doesn't give me any reason not to attack!" He didn't say anything. All he did was grab her shoulders and pull her towards him.
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry" He said. And pressed his lips against hers.
God, I ship them so hard. Ugh, this was a horrible chapter.
