Two Months Later

It was a beautiful day in the summer at the Southern Water Tribe. Suki was in Hakoda's hut holding her newborn son, named Koda, and Mai and Katara were walking around getting things ready for the ceremony. After they had completed most of the tasks, they sat down and began talking to Suki and playing with the baby.

"Boy, Koda gets bigger every time I see him." Katara said making faces at the little boy.

"Yea and he's already eating as much as his father." Suki said while rocking her son.

"That could be dangerous; they will eat you out of house and home before he's a year old." Mai said.

"Let's hope not, I'd like to have more kids in the future."

Then Hakoda walked into the hut.

"Katara why aren't you getting ready; it's almost time to start."

"Oh it is? I didn't realize. I guess I better get going."

Katara stood up and walked into the other room and started to get ready. While she was, Hakoda turned to Suki, and gestured at her to let him hold his grandson.

"You just getting so big, you're going to be a great warrior someday like your dad and mom, not to mention the man you're named after, me." Hakoda said to his now sleeping grandson, "He looks so much like Sokka did when he was a baby."

"I thought he looked a lot like Sokka too." Suki said.

"But he has your eyes and nose, he just perfect."

"Thank you Hakoda, we think so to."

Mean While Outside

As the minuets pass, Aang was getting more nervous. He kept walking in a circle, over and over again. Sokka and Zuko were standing close by just watching him do this over and over again.

"Aang you need to stop you're making me dizzy." Sokka finally said.

"Yes Aang you need to calm down or you're going to make yourself sick." Zuko said.

"I can't there's too many thoughts running through my head." Aang said continuing to walk in a circle.

"It will all be over soon, it won't be that bad." Sokka said.

"I guess you're right. I just need to breathe, and quite my thoughts."

Aang stopped, closed his eyes and began deep breathing. He was finally starting to calm down when a voice rang out form a few feet away.

"AANG!"

Aang's eyes popped open and saw that the voice was Kai's who was running up to him, with Toph walking behind her. When Kai reached him she flung her arms around him still running at full speed. Kai almost knocked him over, but he caught himself at the last second.

"Hi Kai it's good to see again." Aang said trying to release himself form her death grip.

"Oh Aang it's good to see you again to." Kai said still retaining her grip.

"I can tell, now could you please let me go?"

"Oh sorry," Kai let go of Aang. "I just haven't seen you in forever."

"She begged me to come, so I couldn't say no." Toph said when she walked up to them.

"Oh hi Toph." Aang said

"The rest of the girls are in Hakoda's hut getting ready, if you want to go visit with them before the ceremony." Zuko said.

"Thanks I'll see you guys later. See you Kai."

"See you Toph." Kai said.

"Now who are you?" Sokka asked Kai looking at her suspiciously.

"I was the earth bender that was with Aang in the birth lands for 8 years. I watch him grow up from a little kid; to the man he is today. Now my little man is growing up, and getting married." Kai pretended to wipe a tear from her eye. "And you are?"

"I'm Sokka, I'm the bride's brother."

"Oh so your Sokka, brother of the beautiful Katara, who Aang never shut up about for the entire 8 years. I've also heard you just had a son recently so congratulation." Sokka puffed out his chest like a proud daddy, and then Kai moved over to where Zuko was standing. "That must mean you're Fire Lord Zuko, it is an honor to meet you sir." Kai bowed respectfully.

"It is pleasure to meet you also," Zuko said bowing back to her. "Aang does always make the most interesting friends."

"I know right." Kai said laughing.

Back Inside the Hut

"He so quite, it's hard to believe he's Sokka's son." Toph said.

Everyone laughed, and then Katara stepped out into the sitting room in her wedding dress. It had been her mother's, and it fit her like a glove. The whole room when silence except for the occasional noise coming from Koda.

"Why did everyone stop talking?" Toph asked.

"Katara you look beautiful, just as beautiful as your mother was on our wedding day." Hakoda said kissing his daughter on the cheek.

"Thanks dad."

"I'd tell you, you look beautiful too, but the whole blind thing gets in the way."

Katara laugh, "Thanks anyway Toph."

"Well I guess me and my little man should go take our seats. We'll see you after." Suki said then left the hut.

"I guess we should go too." Toph said. Then Mai and she left the hut also.

The only ones left in the hut were Katara and her father. The silence was overwhelming.

"Dad"

"Yes Katara."

"Is it ok that I'm feeling nervous right now?"

Hakoda chuckled, "Yes it's completely natural. Everyone is here to see you, and that's a lot of eyes, but the one pair of eyes you need to focus on is Aang's. His eyes will be able to tell you if this is the right decision. So just breathe deep, and stare forward; I think you'll make the right decision."

"Thanks dad."

"Your welcome, now are you ready?"

Katara took a deep breath. "Yes I'm ready."

Hakoda walked outside and gave the signal for the music to start up. Everyone took their seats, and looked back at where Katara was supposed to enter. Hakoda gave Katara his arm, and then began to lead her down the pathway.

At first, all she could see was eyes, but then like a bight light Aang came into focus, and Katara could see what her dad meant. Aang had nothing but unconditional love in his eyes, and Katara knew automatically that she was making the right choice. Hakoda handed Katara over to Aang then took his place in front of them to perform the ceremony.

"You look beautiful Katara. I love you." Aang whispered.

"I love you too." Katara whispered back.

"It's not everyday when a man has to give away his only daughter, but I couldn't be more happy with the man my daughter has chosen." Hakoda began, "Now to get down to business."

Hakoda then recited the Water Nations vows, and both Katara and Aang took turns repeating it.

"Do you Aang take Katara to be your wife?"

"I do with all my heart." Aang said smiling and gazing into Katara's eyes.

"And do you Katara take Aang to be your husband?"

"I do with all my heart." Katara said smiling back at Aang.

"Well it is my honor and pleaser to pronounce you man and wife. Aang you may now kiss the bride."

Aang quickly leaned into Katara's lips, and Katara wrapped her arms around Aang's neck. All the guests erupted in applause and cheering at the site of the kiss, but Aang and Katara could barely hear them they were too focused on each other.

Once the kiss was over, Aang just looked into his new bride's eyes and mouthed 'I love you', Katara did the same. Then Aang lead her to where the reception was, and began the celebration.

Katara went over to where Suki and Sokka were, and picked up her nephew and danced with him. Aang was sitting at the table watching her, admiring her every detail.

"You know I can see it now." Kai said as she walked up to Aang.

"See what?"

"Why you never let go of her, and continued to put yourself through the punishment of the letters. It's was because you two are meant to be together, it was only a matter of time."

"Thanks, I hope you can find the happiness I have now."

"I think I already have." Kai blushed and Aang knew she was thinking of Shan, "As I said it's just a matter of time."

Katara then gave Koda back to Suki, and walked over to where Aang and Kai were.

"Who is this Aang?" Katara asked.

"You mean you haven't talked about me nonstop to her, I'm hurt Aang." Kai and Aang laughed and Kai continued not giving Aang time to introduce her, "My name is Kai, I was with Aang in the Earth Kingdom birth lands for 8 years. Now I work at Toph's school."

"Oh so you're the earth bender."

"Sure am. Let me also say this, my little Avatar here never once could stop talking about you. Now meeting you I can see why."

"Thank you"

"Now Katara I need to ask you a favor."

"Ok what is it?"

"Take care of my little man." Kai pinched Aang cheeks while saying it.

"I will"

As the evening came to a close, Aang and Katara began their walk back to their hut. Katara had been in this hut many times before, but something felt weird about tonight. For once she could call it their hut.

Aang carried Katara into the bed room and placed her on the bed.

"Man it's hot in here." Aang said walking to the other side of the room taking off his shirt and placing in on a dresser.

Katara had seen Aang without his shirt on many times before, but something about now made her blush at the sight of him. Katara's eye traced every muscle's outline. She never realized how many muscles Aang had before.

Aang went over and sat next to his new wife. He could sense the tension between them.

"Are you ok?" Aang asked.

"Yes, I'm just a little nervous."

"Well if you're not comfortable we could always wait, we have the rest of our lives with each other."

Aang leaned over to her and kissed her cheek. As he began to pull away, Katara grabbed him and kiss him on the lips passionately. Before long they let each other be thrown into the heat of passion. They began to enjoy their first night together as man and wife.

Thank you to all that have commented, please keep leaving them.
