It had been about a month since Lin found Zari, and Lin was now seven months pregnant. Ever since the attack, she had been on bed rest per Katara's orders. The transition period was rough, since Lin was stubbornly refusing that she needed help. She originally insisted that she was fine and could handle it, but that ended when Katara walked in to find her out of bed.

It was mid-morning when Lin had finally had enough of sitting around. It had been a week since she and Zari had been released, and things between them had been good. Lin still hadn't to move in, because she felt like she would be a burden to him. This morning, she convinced him to go home and check up on things. He had only agreed after she promised to stay put until he got back. At the time, she didn't think it would be hard, but she got really bored after Zari left. Anyways, the babies were moving around and she was hungry. The maid had gone out, and Zari was at his apartment. It couldn't hurt to go make a sandwich, right?

Lin managed to waddle her way into the kitchen without any problems. She found the seal jerky, and began to make a seal jerky sandwich; Sokka's specialty. As she was about to bite into her sandwich, Katara burst through the door with a hulk like look on her face

Lin grinned sheepishly, "Hey, Aunt Katara…"

"Lin Beifong! What are you doing out of bed?!"
Lin shrugged, "The babies were hungry."

"The babies were hungry?"

Lin took the glare from her Aunt as a sign to leave, "Yeah, and we were just going back to bed so their great-aunt can check them out, before she heads back to the South Pole today,:

"Uh-huh, that's what I thought," Katara said as she lead Lin back to the bedroom.

After checking Lin and the babies out, Katara gave Lin permission to finally eat her sandwich.

"The babies are fine for now, but I still want you on bedrest. Your blood pressure is a little high. I want these babies to get to at least 36 weeks before they make their appearance."

Lin groaned, but nodded at Katara's instructions, as Katara got ready to leave.

"Lin," she began to ask, "have you and Zari discussed living together? It would be easier than him going back and forth."

"No. It didn't occur to be since, we really haven't dated."

Katara chuckled, "Lin, sweetheart, I think all you two have been through shows that you are meant to be together. Don't tell me that you didn't look for him only because he was your children's father."

A blushed started to creep up on Lin's face as Katara sat down on the bed.

"Lin, Zari is a good man, and he cares about you and your children. I don't think he's going to run away."

"I think your right."

"Give living with him a try."

Lin nodded as Katara kissed her on the forehead and made her way out of the room. Lin heard her open the front door, and she shouted, "And Lin, stay in bed!"

Zari came home about two hours later to a silent house. He dropped his bag in the living room, and made his way to the bedroom. He walked into his room, and saw Lin so engrossed into a book, that she hardly noticed his presence.

He knocked on the door and said, "Good book?"

"Yeah."

"What's it about?"

"It's the stories of our parent's adventures. Sokka wrote a while ago, but I never bothered to read it because I missed him," Lin explained.

Zari walked over and sat next to her on the bed.

"Are they any good?"

"Yeah. Although, I'm pretty sure Sokka's point of view is one sided."

"It probably is."

Lin put the book down and looked at Zari nervously, "Hey, so umm...do you like staying here?"

Zari raised an eyebrow "Yeah. Why?"

"I was wondering if you wanted to stay here while I'm on bedrest."

"Why?" he asked as a smile tugged at his lips.

Lin mumbled something and he asked her to speak up. "I said...because I need your help. It's hard not being able to move."

Zari chuckled as Lin scowled.

"You are going to be pissed when I tell you this, but I've been thinking about moving in. I kind of packed up most of my apartment today."

Lin punched him in the arm.

"What was that for?!" he cried as he began rubbing his arm.

"It's how I show my affection."

Lin and Zari have now been living together for two weeks, and so far it was going well. Zari stayed home most of the day with Lin, while only going into his shop on the occasion. He hadn't started any new projects yet; he didn't plan to start many new ones until the babies were born. While living together, the began to get to know each other more, and realized that they had a lot in common. Several of their friends came to visit, and it became apparently obvious that the two of them had fallen in love. Well, it was obvious to everyone except them. They had become fast friends, even though they were polar opposites. They were the classic case of yin and yang.

Zari came home from his shop to a silent house. He walked to the bedroom he shared with Lin, and smiled when he saw fast asleep on the bed. She hadn't been sleeping well the last couple days because the twins had refused to stop kicking. They must have finally decided to let their mother rest. He walked quietly over to the bathroom to take a shower to get the paint off of him. He had completely finished his last couple of projects that day, and he was happy that he would be able to take time off to spend with Lin. Well, spend time with Lin and complete the nursery. Lin said he could do whatever he wanted with the room and he was excited. He had so many ideas. He wanted to make cribs and put the babies names on them. Now that he thought about it, he and Lin hadn't even discussed names.

Zari walked out of the shower to find Lin stirring from her nap.

"Hey love," he said as he walked over and kissed her on the forehead, "I see that the wonder twins have finally stopped kicking."

"Yeah, they stopped a couple of hours ago. How was your day?"

"Fine, finished my paintings. Hey speaking of the twins, don't you think it's time we name them?" he said as he rubbed her belly.

"Yeah, I guess. You have any name suggestions?"

Lin and Zari went back and forth on names for over an hour with absolutely no progress.

Lin groaned, "How about this, I choose the first name for the boy and the middle name for the girl. You do vice versa."

"Okay. What's his first name going to be?"

Lin sat thoughtfully, "Ximon."

"I like it. His middle name will be Hieu."

"I love it. What's our daughter's first name?"

"Giana," Zari said quickly.

Lin raised an eyebrow, "Giana, huh? Where'd you get that name from?"

"It was my adoptive mother's name. You like it?"

"I do. I like Sen for her middle name."

"Why Sen?"

"It means lotus, which is the same meaning as my mother's."

"So our daughter is meaning named after your mother, but not?"

"Yep."

"I like it. Ximon Hieu Beifong Yang and Giana Sen Bei Fong Yang. How do you two like your name?"

Lin and Zari smiled as they felt the twins kick in response.

"I think they like it," Lin said with a smile.
