SEVEN-ish MONTHS SINCE SHE RAN

It was a sunny day, nearly seven months after her departure from her friends, that Toph was beginning to really feel the pain in her lower stomach.
She had been getting pains for the past three days and so it was the time that she decided to return to the forest where she had left her friends, even if they weren t there. She began her journey the next morning, packing light so she would make it in time. It was a four day journey even if she used her bending to speed herself up. And with her stomach larger than she had ever known it to be, she would have to be careful about how much energy she used. But she knew that if she found Katara that she would help her.
By day two of her journey she was completely worn out. She was no longer sure that she would make it.
Her heart was heavy with regret that she wasn t going to make it to Sokka in time.

Pushing herself onward, she managed to make it to the forest edge on the dawn of the fourth morning. She arrived almost screaming in pain, and felt no vibrations signaling that her friends were still there.
But when she heard voices further up ahead she cried out. When a response failed to reach her, she screamed louder.
She could feel the pressure in her lower abdomen growing and let out a scream of pure agony.
That got peoples attention and she could feel them flocking toward her. When she heard their voices, she began to cry with relief. She had made it.
"Toph? Is that you? Aang, quick, help me get her to the camp. Sokka, I need you to prepare blankets and warm water." Katara began barking orders as soon as she recognized her friend.
Toph felt her body be lifted up by a cushion of air and could no longer see what was going on. Her body was bent over in pain, but the air was caressing her soothingly, trying to calm her.
Katara knew exactly what to do, as she had helped with many deliveries back home, but she was still nervous. She had never had to deliver for someone as young or small as Toph. She was shaking as much as toph was screaming.
Aang gently set her down on the ground and walked away, looking very pale. Sokka returned with Kataras order and put them down next to his sister. He turned to walk away, but Tophs pained voice made him stop and turn back. Taking her hand he sat down next to her.
Toph, I need you to do one thing first. I need you to make a large tent. Please just fight the pain and try to make a tent, Katara urged her, knowing that Aang wasn t anywhere near them.
Using what strength she could spare, Toph used her skillful bending to make the tent, then let Katara tell her what she had to do to make the delivery successful.
Sokka gave her hand a squeeze of encouragement.

NOTE: I HAVE NO IDEA HOW BIRTH WORKS. i dont know if you scream or not.
