"You have to do this, Tara." It sounded like Toph.
"Toph, I'm glad you're here." Suki said.
"Tara, you need to do this. Suki, I'll be her coach, just deliver. Okay, Sugar Queen. Think of a nice, cool place, one where there's a stream trickling down over pebbles and rocks."
Instantly, Katara felt at peace and began to relax, letting the contractions hit and being able to push.
"Alright, Toph, way to go! Keep it up!" Suki shouted proudly.
"And then think about the excruciating pain going through your body, as if being ripped in two like a piece of cloth."
Katara tensed up. It was much harder to push now.
"Toph, go back to the streams of water."
"Okay, honey, just trying to tell her the truth." Toph said innocently.
"No thanks." Suki rolled her eyes.
"You dab your toes in the refreshing stream, and let the water surround you." Toph remembered the time Zuko had accidently burnt her feet, and the water felt so inviting,
"Okay," Suki announced. "We have a baby girl!"
The baby started crying.
"Good job, Sugar Queen." Toph hit her in the arm.
"She looks like you, Katara, and a little like Zuko."
"Yep. I can tell by her wail that she's Katara's baby." Toph smirked.
The baby pulled out a long stream of water and hit Toph square on the shoulder with a water whip and giggled.
"What are you going to name her?" Aunt Suki asked.
Katara thought for a moment, "Amai."
"Good you're awake." Zuko came into the room. "What happened here?"
"Katara just gave birth to a little girl."
"My Shui, are you alright?"
"Zuko, I'm fine."
"Katara, I was thinking of a way to find Jet, who molested Kiana. So far the only thing I could come up with is to go back to the Earth Kingdom."
"Zuko wait. I can't come with you now." Katara said, raspy. "I just had a baby! A waterbender."
"Then I'll go. I don't want you jepordizing your health." Zuko crouched down on his haunches.
"But you don't even know what Jet looks like⦠I do!" She was concerned about herself and her daughter.
"So do I. He's a freedom fighter, right? I met him aboard the ferry that took me and my uncle to Ba Sing Se. We 'liberated' some food from the Captain together. I'll find him and bring him to justice."
"How do you know that he's still in Omashu?" Katara questioned her husband.
"There isn't another way to get into the Fire Nation from the Earth Kingdom, unless you have a ship, or swam. And I seriously doubt he could've swam this far, I'll be back in a matter of days. Huo ie Shui." He kissed her goodbye on the forehead.
