Pushing her too far

In response to my Guest I admit Toph was mean to Suki, but you know Suki doesn't have to deal with the situation that Toph and Katara are in. And I understand that Katara is not being sensible, but at least she loves and has feelings for both of them there are many people that sleep with complete strangers and end up pregnant it just happens. P.S. I really don't like Suki that much... So her and Sokka may separate...

Chapter four.

(Katara's P.O.V.)

A few weeks had passed and the boys hadn't left my side for very long. The truth was I like the attention. They also had been fighting a lot more than normal and it was putting me on edge. Also Toph had begun to seclude herself finding comfort in the earth and the flowers that she had picked herself. Aang had stopped bringing Toph the flowers every morning. I knew it would happen, and it bothered me that I was hurting Toph, but I wanted Aang to be mine. I was being selfish and in ways I knew I was acting like a whore.

My baby bump was growing, and I had felt my baby kick and move on many occasions. I had been sleeping more, and craving things I had never like or eaten before. No matter what Zuko and Aang would cook it for me, or go buy it.

Suki left and I didn't blame her Toph was quite spiteful when it came to this. Sokka stayed behind to be here with me, but I knew there was more to it than that, I had over heard him talking to Toph the other day.

"Me and Suki are hitting the wall," Sokka said slowly. He sounded very sad.

"I know the feeling Snoozles. Sugar Queen has her hooks so deep in Aang I have no chance. She may be having his baby," Toph said. She was huddled in the corner of the room against the wall. Sokka was sitting next to her. From what I could see They were pretty close.

They sadness in Toph's voice hurt. I knew that I was hurting her... Why couldn't I just let Aang go... "What did you think was going to happen? That she would be happy?" My inner voice asked me. I shook my head.

When I looked back into the room Sokka pulled Toph into a hug. From what I could tell Toph was holding on to Sokka tightly.

That was when I left. I had no business eaves dropping on Toph and Sokka.

I was just sitting at the kitchen table when I heard a loud bang. I thought that someone might be training outside, but the sounds weren't right whatever was going on it was a real fight. I got up as fast as my baby bump would allow and ran to where the noise was coming from.

It was Aang and Zuko fighting in the hallway. They had destroyed the table and a few vases that were shattered on the floor across the room. I wasn't surprised that they were fighting again they had been fighting since they found out I was pregnant and even before then.

I didn't know why, but I was crying. "I could two stop fighting over me for five seconds!" I yelled before I ran down the hallway to Toph's room.

"Sugar Queen you seem upset what's wrong?" Toph said getting up from her spot in the corner.

"They won't stop fighting over me Toph. I just want support," I cried.

Toph patted my back. "How about we give them the cold shoulder?" Toph asked me a devious smile returning to her face.

"Okay," I said with a nod.

Toph made a thick wall of earth to cover the doorway.

"Won't Aang be able to move that?" I asked.

Toph laughed. "Maybe, but not if it is my will versus his. Who is more stubborn? Me, or Twinkle toes?"

I laughed. "Definitely you."

That was when the wall began to move. Toph put her hands against the wall and held it into place. She just stood there without putting much effort forth.

"Nice try Twinkles," Toph said.

Toph had decided that it would be best for me to avoid the stress of the boys for awhile so, me and her went out to get me some baby clothes, and a few maternity dresses since the ones I had were becoming a bit snug.

"So what do you think you are going to have?" Toph asked as we walked into the store.

"I don't know," I said. "It could be either."

"So you want some of both?" Toph asked.

I nodded. "It may be better that way."

"Alright," Toph said. "I will help you carry the stuff, and I get to test the material if I don't like the feel you won't be buying it for my little nephew, or niece."

I shook my head. I just hoped that I didn't have a daughter or son like Toph.

In the end we bought ten outfits five for a boy, and five for a girl(all Toph approved). I bought me a few maternity tops(Toph had to approve those also), and then we slowly began heading home.

"So what's it like?" Toph asked me.

"What's what like?" I asked trying to get a better question from the blind girl.

"What's it like being loved?" Toph asked.

"I guess it's like showing affection, and wanting to be close to someone else," I said trying to explain love was difficult. "You know what love is like Toph."

Toph shook her head. "No one has really ever shown me love."

"That is not true what about your parents?" I asked. I knew the more we talked about this the worse I was going to feel.

"I know they loved me, but that is not how love is supposed to be," Toph explained. "They tried to protect me. They treated me like I was made of glass just because I was blind. If that is what love is I am not interested."

"What about what you had with-" I stopped myself from asking the question.

"What I had with Aang? If it was love he wouldn't have left me for you Sugar," Toph said before she calmly got up and walked towards home.

I followed after her. I realized now that I had to make a choice after the baby was born between Zuko, and Aang. I loved them both, but they were both in love with others like Toph who were hurting because I was selfish.

I realized that it didn't matter who's the baby was anymore I needed to listen to my heart and make a choice. If the baby was Aang's and I chose Zuko I could give up the baby to Toph to raise... Toph could be happy with Aang, and Sokka could be happy with Suki, and Me and Zuko could be happy together. The whole scenario played out in my head, but it didn't seem realistic.

Another few months past and I was really looking forward to having this baby already. Aang and Zuko had finally calmed down when I told them that I was going to make the choice between them after the baby was born.

So they took turns trying to woo me. Zuko took me to a nice dinner, and a firework show. Aang cooked me a romantic dinner by candle light. He smiled at me as he pulled my chair out for me.

They both were amazing. I decided that we were all going to go to dinner. So Me, Toph, and Ty Lee got ready to go while Sokka, Aang, and Zuko waited on us. Ty Lee was dressed in a dark pink form sitting shirt, and a pair of pants that hugged her hips. Did I mention that her belly button was hanging out. Ty Lee had her hair braided per her normal. Toph put on a green dress, and let me paint her toes a light shade of green. I put on a blue dress that was long in back and short in the front.

"You know Katara that makes you look more pregnant than you already are," Ty Lee said with a laugh.

We walked down the steps together. Toph walked first followed by Ty Lee, and I was last clutching the banister like I would die if it wasn't there.

It broke my heart to see the look that Aang gave Toph when he saw her come down the steps. It was the look of a boy that was hopelessly in love. That was the moment that I realized that Aang was only with me because of the baby. I really didn't have much hold in his heart, not anymore.

Aang's eyes met mine as if asking permission to take Toph's hand. I nodded slowly. Aang gave me a look of gratitude before he took Toph's hand in his. Toph didn't fight him as he took her had. I could see a slight smile return to her face.

Sokka looked at Ty Lee in the same manner that Aang had looked at Toph like a boy lost and in love. Sokka was lonely since Suki left and he wasn't sure if she would ever come back.

"May I?" I heard Sokka mutter reaching out to take Ty Lee's hand.

Ty Lee giggled. "Of course." Ty Lee took Sokka's outstretched hand. Sokka kissed her hand lightly.

When I reached the bottom of the steps Zuko was there and ready to take my hand.

"Are you ready to go?" Zuko asked.

I nodded, and our group moved out to the restraunt.

We ordered our dinner, and were eating rolls. The boys were talking about fighting or something, and Ty Lee was pretending to interested for Sokka's sake.

I looked over at Zuko who was mostly silent. I could see him look sad for a moment as he looked at Ty Lee with Sokka before the faint smile returned to his face. I nodded knowing that he loved Ty Lee, but knew that she could move on.

I felt a sharp pain. I wasn't sure what was going on. I got up and walked to the bathroom trying to hide the pain I was in as I walked away. I made it to the bathroom as I felt my water break. The warm fluid ran down my legs. Another sharp pain ripped through my body.

I wasn't sure how long I was gone when Ty Lee and Toph walked into the bathroom.

"Sugar Queen are you okay? They brought the food," Toph called.

"Everyone is getting a little worried," Ty Lee said finally meeting my gaze. "Are you alright?"

"I think I am having the baby," I said slowly trying to steady my breathing.

"Now?" Toph half yelled half asked.

I nodded. "Yes I think so."

"Toph grab her other side," Ty Lee said helping me up.

The two of them managed to carry me out of the bathroom. Zuko was out there waiting along with Aang.

"What's wrong?" Aang and Zuko asked exchanging worried glances.

"I'm having a baby," I struggled not to scream that as another pain ripped through my body. My breathing was labored. I realized that I would be a mother very soon.

Zuko took my one side, and Aang my other.

"I am still with you Katara," Aang said as they began to carry me out of the restraunt. Toph followed slowly behind, and I assumed Ty Lee went to get Sokka to pack up our food, and pay the bill.
