Chapter 6 One Last Check

It was June 4th. It has been a week since Katara and Aang announced they were expecting. And now Suki was due to have her baby in two weeks. Her and Sokka were excited and nervous at the same time. And today Katara was going to check up on Suki and the baby one last time before she gave birth.

Katara got to Suki and Sokka's place around ten in the morning. She knocked on the door. Sokka answered it.

"Hi Katara. Why are you here?" Sokka asked.

"I'm here to see you guys. Don't you want to know if the baby is ready to be born or not?" Katara answered.

"Okay, don't need any more mood swings here. I already went through that with Suki. Just come in then." Sokka stated.

Katara just smiled and walked in.

"Where's Suki?" Katara asked.

"She's still sleeping. You want anything to eat?" Sokka asked.

"No thank you." Katara answered.

"Okay. Well how's Aang doing?" Sokka asked.

"He's doing well. Nervous about the baby though." Katara said placing a hand on her belly.

"Oh. I just can't believe nine months came already." Sokka said sitting down. Katara sat down as well.

"Time flies by. Heck, I'm already five months pregnant. And you and Suki are going to be parents very soon." Katara stated.

"I wonder if my child is a boy or girl." Sokka said.

"Well, which gender do you want?" Katara asked.

"It doesn't matter to me. As long he or she is healthy." Sokka answered.

"For me I would love a boy. But if I have a girl, it's fine with me." Katara said.



"Well, I'm going to see if Suki is awake. Sometimes she just lies awake in bed being lazy." Sokka said walking to his bedroom.

"Sokka, she's nine months pregnant. Let her be lazy." Katara stated.

In Suki and Sokka's bedroom:

"Hey Suki, Katara's here to check up on the baby." Sokka stated.

"Okay. Can you get me a yogurt out for me though?" Suki asked.

"Vanilla, right?" Sokka asked.

"Yeah." Suki answered getting off the bed.

Sokka went back downstairs.

"Suki is coming down now." Sokka said to Katara.

He got Suki's yogurt.

"I didn't know you ate yogurt." Katara said.

"It's for Suki. That's all she's been craving." Sokka stated.

"Oh, hi Suki." Katara said spotting Suki.

"Hi." Suki said in return. She began to eat her yogurt.

Katara noticed Suki's belly was a bit lower. That meant the baby would come in the couple days or weeks. About ten minutes later Suki finished her yogurt.

"Sorry if I held you up. I've been sleepy lately. The baby keeps on kicking. During the night hours though." Suki said rubbing her belly.

"That's normal. And you didn't hold me up on anything. I don't really have anything planned." Katara stated.

"Okay. So check up time? Suki asked.

"Yeah, c'mon." Katara said.

"Can I come?" Sokka asked.

"Yes." Both girls answered.



While Katara was checking the baby by her water bending, the baby was kicking hard. And it hurt Suki.

"Oh, those kicks hurt." Suki said rubbing her belly.

"Well your belly lowered a bit so the hard kicking is normal at this time in the pregnancy." Katara stated.

"It's been like this since last week." Suki said.

"Well, have you been feeling any contractions?" Katara asked.

"No, not really." Suki answered.

"Well, the way the baby is positioned, you'll probably give birth sometime next week." Katara said.

"It's weird how you can do all of this with just water." Sokka said.

"That's water bending for you. You're finished Suki. When you start feeling contractions you have to tell me, okay?" Katara stated.

"Alright. Thanks Katara." Suki said sitting up.

"Okay. I have to go meet Aang within an hour so I have to go. Bye." Katara said leaving.

"Bye!" Sokka and Suki said.

Okay a new chappie. I didn't think it would be this long. Well read and review.
