The morning light stretched across the land, Appa was flying around the sky chasing Momo. A gentle breeze swayed through the temple, peacefully Katara and Aang watched their chase, behind them the sun illuminated the sky bathing the City in a sea of warmth. The couple were sat a top the balcony, Aang's arm was around Katara as she leaned against him.
"Katara, are you feeling alright?"
But the waterbender didn't reply she had fallen asleep on her beloved's shoulder. Avatar smiled knowing peace for the first time in weeks, Katara moaned in her slumber. Aang rubbed her stomach lightly and she and their child relaxed, she smiled.
You're a little trouble maker for your mother, I can't wait to met you. He thought with his hand still on his wife's belly. The two remanded for a while, later Sokka knock on the door to their. The sound woke Katara, she was so tired the baby's kicking kept her up last night. Aang sighed he wanted her to sleep longer, and she was quite cute smiling in her sleep.
"Come in" He called.
Sokka opened the door, seeing Katara stretching trying to waking herself up. "Sorry, did I wake you?"
"No, it's fine. What do you need Sokka?" Katara replied half asleep.
"I just came to see if you too were hungry, breakfast is ready."
"That sounds good to me, what about you Katara?" Avatar inquired. She smiled in response, the trio headed towards the dinning room.
After the quite morning Katara, Suki and Kimyi were out in the garden, Kimyi was playing with Momo. Katara and Suki were discussing about what to do with Sokka being a workaholic in Republic City. But there is only two ways to stop Sokka from working, something happens to his family or a meal.
"Kimyi, be careful of the flowers!" Suki called out to her young daughter.
"She so cute trying to catch Momo." Katara remarked.
"Yeah she is. Hey are you thirsty?"
"A little now that you mention it, Suki."
"Kimyi, sweetie we're going back." The Kyoshi Warrior stated, picking up Kimyi.
Katara and Suki walked back to the temple, Suki went inside first but Katara stopped a moment before she entered. Katara froze in place clutching her abdomen. "Katara! What's wrong?" Suki asked quickly. Katara remained silent for a second feeling a small amount of liquid between her legs.
"The baby." Katara finally replied she voice was shaking.
"Oh no. The boys are down at the bay." Suki mumbled. She called for an air-acolyte, to go find Aang and Sokka. Two more came to help Katara up to her room. The group slow made it up to the room the hear who came to help with the birth was preparing water and towels for later, for now they had Katara lie down. Katara's contractions started out strong, and last for a long time. Suki had an acolyte watch Kimyi, while she held Katara's hand thought the pain.
Down at the bay minutes before Katara went into labor, the two men were in the small forest looking for fruit trees for Appa. "Why do we have to do this now Sokka?" Avatar asked annoyed.
"Aang you need to take your mind off Katara for at least a little while. And you did say there could be a fruit tree out here, if so you wanted to find it."
"Okay, I have to say this now. Sokka are you and stupid! Katara could go into labor any day now, how did I let you drag me into this?!"
"I have to be honest with you, Aang. You're freaking out."
"Sokka, you were worse for freaking out when Suki was having Kimyi. In fact didn't you faint right in front of her."
"Fine you're right, but Aang if you freak out in front of Katara she'll have a harder time with the delivery."
"I know, Sokka. I just still can't believe this happened, so soon."
"Well believe it Twinkle Toes." Toph said as she walked up to Aang and Sokka.
"Toph! When did you get hear!" The two men yell shocked.
"About five minutes ago, but I just found you two."
"It's good to see you too Toph" The Avatar replied
"Hey Twinkle Toes, someone's coming. One of the acolytes, he running fast too."
"Are you kidding me Toph?" Sokka asked in disbelief, hoping she was wrong. Aang used his earth bending vision, Toph was right. Aang instantly started running to where the acolyte was coming from. Once Aang saw the acolyte, he stopped.
"Is there something wrong with Katara?"
"Avatar your wife gone into labor."
"Sokka I knew I shouldn't have left Katara, why did I let you talk me into going down to the beach." Aang shouted before running back up towards the temple.
"Oh sugar queen you better not have the kid before we get there." Toph mumbled while chasing after Aang.
