7:
Aang stood behind Katara as she pushed. "You can do it, Katara!"
"Just little more now," said Miss Anora.
Katara screamed. A moment later Miss Anora stood up. She was holding a blanket, which she handed to Aang. "Congratulations."
Ty-Lee clasped her hands together. "Oh how wonderful!"
Aang smiled as he held his new baby and pulled back the blanket to reveal the face. He was so little. Well, except for the head.
As a matter of fact, the head was rather large, as large as an adult's head. That wasn't the only unusual thing about this infant. He had dark hair pulled up into a ponytail and there was a large red scar covering his eye to his ear.
He opened his eyes and glared. "I will capture you, Dadatar!"
Aang gasped as he woke up. He was still sitting in the chair that he had pulled up hours ago.
Katara scowled at him. "I can't believe you fell asleep! I feel like I'm passing Appa and you take a nap?"
Aang rubbed the back of his head. "I'm sorry, Katara, but it has been four hours…" Katara interrupted with a yell. Miss Anora bent down.
"Ty-Lee get me a blanket. It's time."
Out in the hall, Suki was seated on a chair, her face resting on her hands, which were resting on her knees. Sokka walked up to her with a steaming mug. "I brought you some hot milk."
She took it. "Thanks Sokka."
He sat in the chair next to her as she sipped. "So are you still mad at me?"
"Not as much as I was." She handed the mug to Sokka and he took a drink.
Putting the mug down, he said, "You know, I've been doing some thinking…"
"Oh really?"
"Yeah," said Sokka. He turned to Suki. "Suki, I don't care if we have a girl or a boy. As long as it's healthy and has your eyes and your smile, I'll be happy."
"Soka!" Suki blushed and smiled. She leaned her head toward him. "That…that was really corny!"
"I know," said Sokka. "But I meant it."
"I know." Suki took the mug and took a drink.
"One, two, three, PUSH!" Chanted Aang, Miss Anora, and Ty-Lee. "One, two, three, PUSH! One, two, three, PUSH!"
"Almost there!" Said Miss Anora. Katara bit her lip as beads of sweat popped out on her face. There was a cry and Miss Anora stood up. She was holding a squirmy, messy infant. "A girl!"
"Congratulations!" Sang Ty-Lee.
Aang clasped Katara's hand. "Did you hear? A girl, Katara!" She smiled and started to say something. But before she could, she grimaced and cried out. "What?" Cried Aang, leaning over the bed. "What's the matter?"
"It…still…hurts!"
Miss Anora, who had wrapped the baby in a blanket, handed her to Aang. She bent back down. "Ty-Lee, come back over here. We're not done yet."
"What the heck does that mean?" Asked Aang.
Ty-Lee squealed. "I know what that means!" She cried joyfully. "Twins!"
Katara and Aang looked at each other incredulously. "Twins?" They chorused.
"Keep pushing!" Katara hollered in pain. Forty-seven seconds later, there was another cry.
"It's a boy!" Cried Ty-Lee. Miss Anora wrapped the second baby in another blanket and gave him to Katara.
She smiled at the baby. "I guess that's why I was so big."
"And early," said Miss Anora, wiping her hands. "Twins are often born ahead of schedule."
Aang rested his chin on the top of Katara's head as they both stared at their new children happily. Finally, thought Aang happily. I'm a Dadatar.
