All American Girl

"Jiana, please stay still and meditate." Tenzin scolded his daughter just as his wife and mother of his child walked up behind them, picking up their daughter and carrying her around.

"Tenzin, don't be so hard on her. She is only a year and a half." Lin said, rubbing Jiana's back as the little girl let out a sleepy yawn as she rested her head on Lins shoulder.

"Lin, we already know she's an airbender since we saw her making air currents. It isn't too early to have her begin training." Tenzin said, standing up and brushed off his robes as he walked to Lin, wrapping an arm around her waist and kissing her forehead.

"I know. But let her enjoy her time as a baby before you're constantly bossing her around, telling her to master this, master that." Lin said, waving her arm around, holding Jiana with her other arm. Tenzin scowled, making her chuckle and press a small short kiss on his lips.

"Alright, I'll let her enjoy her time as a baby." Tenzin agreed, making Lin smirk as she carried Jiana back into the temple, carrying her to her nursery and placed her down in her crib. Tenzin came up behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist as she covered Jiana with her blanket.

Tenzin tried to pinch her stomach, only finding hard muscle and the baby weight gone. Lin chuckled as she put her head on his shoulder, chuckling at his disappointment that she had no baby weight left.

"What happened to the baby weight?" He asked, picking her up and carrying her from the room.

"I've lost it. I lost it when I went back to work." Lin said, hearing him groan in disappointment. After having Jiana, he loved to poke and pinch her stomach, which had left over fat from her pregnancy. She felt annoyed everytime he poked her, sometimes almost earthbending him in the ground.

Tenzin placed her down, making her chuckle as she kissed him. She stood on her toes, whispering his name "I need to go to work now."

Tenzin nodded his head, walking back to the meditation pavillion. He sat down, and got in his mediatating postition. He breathed in deeply and relaxed himself, hearing the wind rustle the leaves as he thought about the first time he and Lin had started raising Jiana.

1 and a half year ago

Tenzin, can you check on Jiana? I'm still in the shower." He heard Lin call out to him, making him groan as he rose up from the bed and made his way to the nursery, hearing his newborn daughter crying at the top on her lungs. When he entered the room, he walked closer to the crib. He peered inside, seeing her arms waving around, her black hair standing up from squirming, and her face red from crying.

He reached in, picking her up and placed her on his shoulder, hearing her piercing scream in his ear as he rubbed her back soothingly, hushing her in whispers as he gently bounced her up and down. He checked her diaper, groaning as he walked to the changing table, placing her on top as he reached for a clean diaper.

"I'll get you back for this Lin." He mumbled as he undid her diaper, slightly grimacing at the smell the diaper left. He reached for a wipe, cleaning her off, just as Lin walked in, her hand running through her tangled hair as she stepped up beside her husband.

"Your turn for diaper duty?" She asked, going to the dresser and pulling out an outfit for her, a green shirt with a pair of white shorts, and a pair of white socks.

"Why?" He asked, picking up Jiana as he walked back to the crib, placing her in there as Lin came up beside him, leaning forward and began dressing Jiana.

Jiana fussed, making Lin groan when she started kicking and squirming. Lin used one hand, holding Jiana down and dressing her at the same time. Tenzin chuckled at the faces she made as she finished dressing Jiana, picking her up and carrying her out of the room to theirs.

"Where are we going this afternoon?" Tenzin asked, following them and saw Lin place Jiana on their bed, placing pillows and blankets around her as Tenzin sat on the bed, holding her still so she won't fall off the bed.

"We'll drop her off at my mothers. And I was thinking we could have a little time with each other." She whispered, coming up to him and sat on his lap, placing a soft kiss on his lips. He used his free arm and wrapped it around her waist, deepening the kiss until they heard little gurgling sounds. They pulled apart as Lin scooped Jiana up, wrapping her up in a blanket as Tenzin followed them out to the peir and the ferry.

Present

The sound of metal brought him out of his thoughts. He looked up and saw Lin with a wide awake Jiana. She smiled and walked to him, placing Jiana down next to Tenzin.

Before Lin could say anything, Jiana stood up, walking to Lin, who gasped as Tenzin smiled widely. Jiana stopped in front of Lin, and fell on her bottom. Lin bent down and picked her up, showering her with kisses.

"She walked! She took her first steps." Tenzin yelled, standing up and taking Jiana from Lin's arms. He kissed her on her lips, making Lin push him away.

"I need to go to work." Lin mumbled, now placing a peck on Jiana's forehead as she walked off.
