Aang and Katara's trip home was quite, they both slepted like babies. By the time they returned home it had been two months the trip which had been longer than expected to return. Because Appa is overprotective ,and a stop in Southern Air Temple didn't help.
All Aang could think about was Katara and their unborn child, very early in the morning he awoke. Carefully gone outside as not to wake Katara's slumber. Aang went to Appa's satle in search of a precious crib that had belonged to the monks. Long time ago.
The crib as in bad shape, the wood wad quite old but still even with all the dust and grime it couldn't have been more perfect in this moment. Aang smiled softly, remembering all the time with Monks even the bad. He knew this was a chance to repair the damages he let happen more than a hundred years ago, slowly things will change for the better. Aang worked carefully to restore the old crib, cleaned up and mending broken parts of wood. Soon the small crib was good as new, yet a bit higher than before.
Aang lifted the crib up stairs and next door to his and Katara's room, he had been constructing a sweet nursery. The crib was the final touch, the walls were white but all along the walls there were the four Nations' insignia lined up in the Avatar cycle Air, Water, Earth, and Fire. Even the door frame was designed with beautiful symbols from the for Nations, like the bisons, moon, badger-moles, etc.
Outside of the nursery door that was closed Aang smiled bittersweetly remembering the time he spent with his friends, and wondering how things will play out. "Katara, is strong. We'll be fine no matter what comes are way." Aang said aloud.
"That's one thing we always agreed on, Aang." Katara whisppered sweetly in his ear. Aang froze for a moment. "Morning, sweetie. Your up early." He answered slyly.
"Aang what are you up-" She said half interrupted by Aang stealing a kiss, as he fixed her bed head. Once he stopped, Katara smiled looking at him. "Katara, I want to show you something."
Aang stepped to one side out of Katara's way to see the nursery's door. He opened the door and Katara's eyes instantly lit up. "Aang, when did you find the time? It's so beautiful." She exclaimed tearing up. As she entered the room admiring the little details, and the amazing work Aang put into this once barron room. Now beautifully designed, with potential to create new memories. "Hope you like it."
"How couldn't I? It's wonderful,"
"And soon," he tenderly said while touching Katara's stomach "Our family will begin to grow."
The next few days were peaceful, Aang trained as much as he could which wasn't more than a hour or two of he was lucky. Within a week Sokka and Suki would be visiting to help Katara and Aang thought the delivery, along with a healer incase something happens.
During one night Aang went outside to spend time with Appa, he sat down next to him. Petting his head. "Buddy, I how do you think is this going to end up. With Katara, what if something goes wrong. What if I lose her and our child."
"Gurr." Appa replied
"I know that thinking this way isn't good, but it's terrifying just to know something could happen. But no matter how much I worry, dept down I know Katara is strong she'll be ok."
Before Aang knew it, he fell asleep beside Appa. Then Momo came along and smuggled Aang's arm.
"Appa, good morning. Can you please wake up Aang, for a melon." Katara whisppered.
The bison turned and licked Aang repetitively. "Appa! Stop it, cut it out now." Momo screeched and took off into the sky.
"Morning, sweetie. Appa want a melon now?"
"Gurr"
Katara rolled the delicious melon to him.
"Morning, Katara. Was that your idea?" Aang yawned.
"Maybe. It was sweet to see you sleeping with Appa though." She answered.
"Really?" He smiled. " It feels like a life time ago, when we were traveling to save the world."
"Yeah, it's cute to see you snuggling Appa again."
"He's so soft it's hard not too." Aang retorted, while scratching his chin.
Katara laugh for a moment, and Aang joined in as well. "So is it today or tomorrow, when Sokka and Suki said they wanted to visit?"
"Tomorrow, Aang. Aren't you hungry?"
"Yeah, I'll make breakfast. If you want."
"That sounds good, let's go."
The two walked inside the temple and later sat down to devower the meal before them. For the morning Aang and Katara stayed together outside by the garden talking about all changes to Rebulic City and they had decided to open the Pro bending arena after Katara had their child and could participate in the fun. Even though the building and the arena were built, but the there was still room for improvements.
The next day Sokka and Suki plus Kimyi, arrived at the Airbender Island. Later so did a healer, and everyone settled in. They prepared for Katara's delivery, even though she could go into labor any day now. Aang had been stressed about when this whole ordeal with begin, so he tried to stay calm and relaxed with Katara for hours.
Hey guys I'm sorry for the long wait, but I had no internet for last month. But I do now, and I will be getting a laptop. So I will have more chapters out sooner, and maybe I'll be able to have a chapter out every week again. Oh and am going to start writing a new fanic soon. It will be on an Anime show that I have fallen in love with. And the story is going to have more of a romantic side than this one. Hope you in joy reading my Fanic and if you could try reading my new one when it's out that would make my day. And to all who do reviewers or comments that I get thanks it keeps me going, hope I can hear more feedback so I can become a better writer.
