Chapter 13
Jade was amazed by the view. Her eyes were bulging out her head. She was brought out of her daze when she heard other voices.
"Daddy, your home!" Three children came running out of the house. The oldest daughter was about 9 or 10 years old. The second daughter looked to be about 7 years old. The youngest was abviously 5, judging by the way he was acting.
"Hello Jinora, Ikki, Meelo." Tenzin greeted them as he bent down to hug his other children. Jade snickered. "Heh. Ikki? Who names their kid Ikki?" She asked herself while trying to cover her laughter. Lin nudged her elbow into Jade's arm causing Jade to lose her balance.
Ikki looked over her fathers shoulder and saw Jade fall down into the sand and Lin laughing silently. Ikki wiggled her way out of Tenzin's hug and ran over to her.
"Hi I'm Ikki. What's your name? I don't think i've ever seen you before. What's your name?" Ikki asked her in a matter of seconds that Jade didn't catch a single word she heard. She turned her head slightly and raised an eyebrow saying, "What?"
"Ikki give her some space. I'm sorry for my sister. She's really... talkative. I'm Jinora." The girl with a bun in her hair stepped forward and apologized for her sister as she helped Jade up.
"It's alright. My friend Olivia was like that. I'm Jade." She said as she extended her hand out, which Jinora shook. Meelo came up to her and said, "Your pretty. Even more prettier than Asami. Can I have your shoe?" He asked her as he climbed up onto her shoulder, almost making her fall over.
Korra walked over and took Meelo off her shoulder. "I'm sorry about that, he can get a little crazy." Korra said as a women came out and walked over to the group.
"Tenzin! Your back." She said as she came over and hugged him. Tenzin placed a kiss on her lips, causing both Lin and Jade to gag.
"Pema, this is Lin's daughter, Jade. Jade, this is my wife and the mother of my children, Pema."
"It's nice to meet you." Jade said. Pema lowered her eyes at her and stared, making Jade raise her eyebrow. Then Pema used her sickening sweet voice and said, "It's nice to meet you too."
Lin came up to her and placed her hand on Jade's shoulder. Jade looked at her and mimed a gagging move and pointed at Pema. Lin laughed at her daughters movements and laughed. Pema looked at them, making them stand straight up. When she looked away, they busted out laughing again.
"Well, we better get home. The men had already took your stuff and set it up." Lin told her. Jade nodded as Lin left to go tell Tenzin they were leaving. Jade put her bag down and searched for her ipod. When she found it, she looked for her purple beats and plugged them into her ipod.
"Let's go." Lin told her as she walked over to the pier. Jade followed. When they got on the ferry, Lin sat down on one of the benches and looked out into the sea. Jade leaned against the railing and turned her music up louder. She looked for a song, but put it on shuffle, starting with Karmin's "Hello."
A few minutes later, they reached the docks and got off the boat. Lin walked from the pier and started out for her apartment. Jade followed while listening to her music. After walking for about ten minutes, they passed the police station, the council building, and the pro-bending arena. When they reached the apartment complex, Lin opened the door and waited for Jade to come in. She closed the door when she saw Jade walk by the building and went down the block.
When Jade looked up she didn't see where Lin was. She was to busy trying to find her that she accidently walked into a lightpole. Lin saw her and bolted from the building. When she got to her, Jade was sitting up and rubbing her forehead, where she got a bump forming.
"You ok?" Lin asked her when she got there and helped her up.
"I think so. Ouch, that really hurt." Jade said as she stood up. Lin helped her walk towards the building. When they got there, Jade walked up the stairs by herself. Lin stopped in front of a door and pulled out her keys and unlocked the door. She pushed the door open and let Jade walk in first.
"So. This is my home for the rest of my life." Jade said as she walked in and plopped down on the couch. Lin came in and locked the door. She went into the kitchen and put water in a kettle and put it on the stove.
"Yeah. This is your home." Lin said as she sat in one of the chairs.
Jade got up and decided to look around. She went down the hall and opened the door on her right. When she walked in, she saw baby things in there. A crib was placed in the corner by the window, the clothes were in the closet, a changing table was set up by the crib.
'This must've been my room when I was a baby.' She thought to herself as she walked around. The room was painted pale green with white lining.
"This was your room before you were taken from me." A voice said behind her. She turned around and saw Lin leaning against the door way.
"I never came here. If I did, I would burst out in tears." Lin told her as she walked into the room. Jade looked at her with tears forming in her eyes.
"I still can't believe they took me from you." Jade whispered. Lin wrapped her arms around her and let her cry. After she was done, they walked out of the room and went down to the end of the hall. Lin made a left turn and opened the door in front of her. In the room, there was bed placed by the window, the closet had clothes in it, there was a desk and Jade's things were set up.
"This is your room. You can change it if you want. You could re-paint the walls to any color you want." Lin told her as Jade went and sat on the bed. She took off her hoodie and placed it in the closet. She took off her boots and put them by the dresser. She walked over and opened her laptop.
"Good. Your outlets are like ours." Jade said as she waited for her laptop to turn on. When she unlocked it, she clicked on the internet button. When Google came up, she yelled out, "Yes" while punching the air with her fist. Lin laughed at her but left when she heard the tea kettle go off.
"Do you want some tea?"
"Yes please."
Lin went into the kitchen and poured two cups of tea. She picked one up and went to Jade's room.
"Thank you. I'm going to bed after this." Jade said as she sipped her tea. Lin nodded as she sipped on her own tea. "Ok. So do I. I have an early shift at the station in the morning so don't get worried if you wake up and not find me here." Lin said before closing the door.
Jade finished her tea and got ready for bed. She fixed her bed with it's sheets, pillows, and blankets. She layed her head down and fell into a peaceful sleep.
At Air Temple Island, Tenzin was busy getting ready for bed when Pema came up behind himand tried to get his pants off.
"Pema, no. I don't want to do this." He tried to stop her but she tried to continue but was stopped when Tenzin walked away.
"Tenzin please. Let me do this."
"No, I have an early council meeting and I want to go sleep." Tenzin said sternly as he quickly got into bed.
Pema pouted but got in bed. A few minutes later, she fell into a deep sleep. Tenzin didn't fall asleep. He had a specific girl on his mind.
'I'm going to see Lin in the morning. I hope I can cach her before she leaves for work.'
Lin just got out of the shower when she heard a knock on her door. She quickly ran into her room and put on her work pants and a tank top on. She pulled the towel out of her hair as she walked towards the door. When she opened it, she saw Tenzin standing there, with flowers in his hand.
"Tenzin? What are you doing here this early?"
"Just thought I catch you before you left for work." He answered her as he stepped through the door. He noticed Lin had grown her hair out and was now passing her shoulders. Lin closed the door silently since Jade was asleep.
"But why come see me at five thirty in the morning?" She asked as she left to go brush her hair and teeth. Tenzin followed her into the bathroom and closed the door behind him. Lin finished brushing her teeth and her hair was brushed out. He leaned in and kissed her.
"So I could do that." He told her when he pulled away. Lin looked at him with shock.
"Tenzin, Jade is sleeping in the room next to us. Don't get any ideas." She said as she made her way out of the bathroom and went to her room. Tenzin followed her and watched her puton her uniform. When she finished, she head over to the vanity and grabbed some clips. Tenzin rushed over and took the clips from her.
"Tenzin, give me those back." She yelled at him silently but stopped when he scooped her hair up and placed a clip in it's usual spot. She watched amazed as he continued placing them in her hair, amazed that he still remembered where each clip is placed.
"I can't believe you remembered where each clip goes in my hair." Lin said amazed at his handy work. Tenzin smirked and helped her up from the seat and hugged her. Lin hugged him back and kissed his cheek. She got out of his grasp and headed towards the kitchen.
"Well, I remember alot of things since our break up." He told her as she put some bread in the toaster and waited for it to pop up. He took a seat at her table and waited for her to sit. She chuckled at him as she spreaded butter on the toast and ate it.
Tenzin pouted when she started eating her breakfast by the stove and not next to him. Lin laughed at him as she finished her food. She walked over to him and sat in his lap.
Tenzin's frown turned into a smile when she sat in his lap. He wrapped his arms around her and held her tightly. Lin laughed at his goofiness as she got out of his lap. He pouted once more when she got up and went to the closet to grab her coat.
"Come. I need to leave and so do you." She told him as she stepped forward. She placed her hands on his chest and ran her fingers up and pulled his beard.
"Lin can we please snuggle?" He asked her with his best puppy dog look, making Lin laugh.
"No, I have to be at work at 6:30." Lin told him as she headed towards the door. Tenzin hung his head as he followed her out of the apartment. Lin closed the door behind him and locked it up.
They both walked down to the front door. Lin and Tenzin hugged for a second before heading off in seprate directions.
At noon, Lin went over to Narooks and got take out. She headed over to her apartment. When she opened the door, she heard music coming from Jade's room. She placed the food down quietly on the table. She removed the metal on her feet and quietly snuck down the hall.
"Take me, or leave me. I'll never be perfect believe me i'm worth it.
So take me or leave me (take me or leave me.)
Call it a curse. Or just call me blessed. If you can't handle my worst, you ain't getting my best.
Is this how Marilyn Monroe felt, felt, felt. Must be how Marilyn Monroe felt, felt, felt."
Lin listened to Jade finish the song. She heard her get up and head towards the door. She quietly ran down the hall and quickly put the metal on her feet again. She acted like she just arrived home when Jade walked in.
"Mom? What are you doing home?" Jade asked her when she came in. Lin looked up from the containers and looked at her daughter.
"Just a few minutes ago." Lin answered as she went over to the cabinet and got a plate out. She served herself some noodles and chicken and sat down at the table. Jade went over to the same cabinet and got a plate down. She looked over at the food and served herself some rice and meat.
After chewing on their food for a few minutes, Lin placed her chopsticks down.
"Do you know what kind of bender you are?" Lin asked her.
"No not yet. I've tried but nothing happens." Jade answered her softly as she continued eating. Lin nodded in understanding and continued to eat her lunch. After a few minutes, Jade stood up and cleared her plate. Lin noticed that her hair was slightly damp and she didn't have no make up on. Then there was a knock on the door so Lin stood up and answered it.
"Tenzin? What are you doing here?" Lin asked him when she opened the door and let him in.
"Well, I heard you got lunch today."
"Yes, for me and my daughter." Lin said as she moved aside to let him in. Jade came into the room when she heard a new voice.
"Hi dad." Jade said as she went over to the sink and got a glass and filled it up with water.
"Hello Jade." Tenzin replied as Lin threw away her trash.
"Tenzin, I need to leave and so should you." Lin told him. They both left as Jade went into her room. They made it out into the hall, Lin closed the door and locked it.
"Lin, why did you do that?" Tenzin asked but instantly shut up when Lin placed her lips on his. Tenzin kissed her back with passion. They stayed in their lip lock until they both needed air and pulled apart.
"Now do you know why I brought you out here?" Lin asked him with a smirk. Tenzin nodded and they both left the building and went their seperate ways.
When Lin returned to the police station, she was bombarded by paperwork on her desk. She sighed as she placed her coffee on the desk and started reading them. A few minutes later, a knock was heard so she looked up.
"Come in."
The door opened and in walked her assistent, Deena.
"Lin, the council needs these papers signed and sent back before six tonight." Deena told her as she placed a giant stack of papers on her desk.
'Shit, all this before six? Ugh great.' Lin thought as she sighed and started reading the papers.
When Lin got home, she saw slabs of earth sticking out of the floor. She quickly dropped her stuff and started looking for Jade.
"Jade? Where are you?"
"In here." Lin ran towards the room where she heard the voice coming from. When she got there, she saw Jade sitting on her bed, trying to fix the floor in her room.
"Jade, did you just earthbend?" Lin asked as she bent the earth and made all the floors back into their orginal form.
"I guess so. Earlier, I thought I heard some noise in here. Then when I stomped my foot on the floor, the floors went into the shapes they were in." Jade explained. Lin crushed her in a hug, making Jade lose her breath.
"Honey, you have no idea how much you being an earthbender makes me happy."
