Before they even got married, Suki and Sokka had agreed to live on Kyoshi Island. Suki would continue her career as a Kyoshi Warrior and Sokka would find work somewhere on the island as well as attend important meetings when asked to by Zuko and Aang. Their home on the island was rather humble, with only enough space for the two of them. They figured that they would look into getting a bigger house when they finally felt like starting a family.

They ultimately didn't need to go looking for a bigger house on Kyoshi island. By the time they even really started talking about the possibility of having kids, Sokka was asked to move to Republic City to both help in building the new city and to become the representative for the Southern Water Tribe for the Council that would be governing the city. Sokka wanted to make sure Suki was absolutely okay with the idea of leaving Kyoshi Island-since them moving meant that Suki would have to retire as a Kyoshi Warrior-before he took the job. He couldn't help but smile when his wife of five years told him, "Sokka, this is an amazing opportunity for you; it's a new adventure so you might as well just go for it. I'll be fine. I'll find something to do once we get there. So there's no need to worry."


Everything was fine when they got there. They were originally provided a house near the heart of the city as a gift of gratitude for Sokka becoming a councilman but the house was extremely spacious and way too luxurious for the couple's taste. After a few months, they decided to move to a smaller house in the suburbs near Republic City.

Sokka adapted quickly to his new lifestyle in Republic City. By the age of 27, Sokka was quite used to going to meetings, putting in his input, and barely managing to stay awake. He would return home in the evening, immediately greeted by his wife with kisses and dinner.

Suki, not having much to do, usually turned to cleaning the house and exploring Republic City while she waited for Sokka to return. She even tried seeing if any of the new residents of Republic City needed any help moving in or setting up their businesses but no one seemed to need her assistance. Sometimes she would practice the skills she had learned as a Kyoshi Warrior but, with nothing to use her skills for, training felt rather pointless to her. Eventually, even roaming the city began to lose Suki's interest and she found herself falling into a depression.

Sokka took notice rather quickly, especially because she wouldn't talk much, would sleep a lot more than usual, wouldn't eat much, and her complexion grew paler. Eventually Sokka took to trying to find something Suki could do in the City for work, hoping that it would cheer her up.

One day, after another dead end in finding Suki a job, Suki suddenly told Sokka, "I want to have a child…." Of course, Sokka's natural response at that second was to almost choke on the tea that Suki had given him the moment he'd stepped into the house after work. He was surprised, not so much by the request itself, but by the suddenness of the request. They hadn't talked about having kids since they had gotten to Republic City so Sokka couldn't help but wonder when Suki had been thinking about the idea.

"You really want to start having kids?" Sokka questions, wanting to make sure she knew the weight of the request she had just made. Sokka pulled Suki closer to him, since she had chosen to sit on the other end of the couch rather than right beside him.

"Yeah…d-do you not want to?" Suki asks, her voice stuttering out of worry.

"No. No. I want to. You just suddenly brought it up again that's all. You caught me off guard…."

"Oh sorry. But, what do you think? Can we try?"

Sokka smiles.

"I don't see why not. But I do have one question…."

"Hmmm?"

"Are you doing alright? You haven't really been acting like yourself…."

"I'll be fine. I just…don't know what to do with myself. I feel useless and out-of-place here. I guess that's why I wanted to start having kids…."

Sokka frowns a little.

"I've been asking around to see if anyone had any job openings but they all are either not available right now since everyone is still trying to set up since they just got to the city or they had jobs I knew you wouldn't enjoy even slightly," Sokka confesses her.

Suki smiles weakly, looking away from her husband.

"Thank you for looking around. Seriously, I'll be fine. Just focus on doing an amazing job at work. Okay?"

Sokka remains silent, unsure of how to respond to his wife's statement. He couldn't help but think about how much of a sacrifice she had made to move here with him; she gave up what she was most passionate about just to stay by his side and support him. Sokka pulls Suki closer to him.

"Kids, huh?" Sokka muses before tenderly nibbling on his wife's neck, desperately wanting to fulfill his wife's wish.


Sokka found himself smiling ear to ear. He had finally managed to find Suki a job she would enjoy. He rushed home and enthusiastically greeting his wife, who had been doing a little bit better since the couple had decided to try starting a family but was still not one hundred percent herself.

"I have good news!" Sokka announces, while the two of them ate dinner.

"What?" Suki asks.

"I found you a job you might like."

"…Really?"

"Yep. Toph is going to be establishing a police department for Republic City and wants someone who can help her both with setting up the actual department and with training officers. Actually, she personally asked if you were bus-."

Sokka is cut off by his wife suddenly kissing him. When they finally break apart for air, Suki is absolutely beaming. He can't help but grin at how much better his wife already seemed to be feeling.

"I'll tell Toph that you're up for the job and find out when you can start," he says.


Time passed. Suki helped Toph establish the Metalbending Police Department. Toph had Suki help with deciding on uniforms and what equipment officers should probably carry around. Toph also established a training academy for the Police Department and had Suki help out there, with the idea that knowing other forms of fighting-such as hand to hand combat and other weaponry skills-will help out officers in the long run. Three months after both the Police Department and training academy were up and running, Suki found out she was pregnant so she and Sokka moved again to a bigger house in the suburbs in order to get ready to welcome their first child into the world.

Both Suki and Sokka found that this new house felt more like home than anywhere else they had stayed previously. With four children and a goat dog running around, that house honestly couldn't feel like anything but a home, abet a well-used one.


Suki couldn't help but feel a bit sad parting from the home in which she and her husband had raised their four children-Yue, Hakota, Kyoshi, and Hiroyuki- but it was time to go on a new adventure. Sokka was going to take over as Chief of the Southern Water Tribe and as his wife, Suki was more than happy to join him in his new adventure. Sokka, just like before, had asked if Suki was really okay with moving again and Suki had responded in a way that reminded Sokka of when they were planning to be moving to Republic City, "Sokka, don't let a chance like this pass you by. I'll be fine. I'm getting old so its not like I need much to do. I'm staying by your side either way you can't get rid of me that easily." Sokka just chuckled, wondering what made his wife think that he would want to get rid of her.

At first, Sokka continued to worry about how Suki would adapt to living in the Southern Water Tribe. He wasn't so worried about her being cold or not taking well to the cuisine in his village but he was worried about her becoming depressed with nothing to do there. At the age of 50, Suki wasn't too worried about having to find something to do. She was quite happy just talking with other villagers and spending time with some of the younger kids in the village, much to Sokka's happiness. Sure their home in the Southern Water Tribe didn't feel as homey as the house they raised their kids in, but it was still their home. To be honest, anywhere they were together was home, it never really mattered where they stayed or what kind of house they stayed in.
