Disclaimer: We do not own Avatar: The Last Airbender if we did then Derek would have made Toph's pairing a lot more obvious.

About two weeks had passed since Aang's birthday and the Meeting of the Nations. Suki and Sokka decided to stay with Aang and Katara for a while as everyone else went back to their respected homes and nations. Were as Toph was stuck at her parents place for the time being. The four were sitting in the Jasmine Dragon and Sokka noticed something a little different about Suki.

"Um…Suki? I don't want to sound mean or anything but…have you put on a little weight?" he asked cautiously. Suki's eyes widened at the question out of both anger and realization. She still had not told Sokka about the twins. Aang and Katara sank down in their seats knowing what might happen to Sokka.

"Well Sokka I have." She spat "Would you like to know why?"

"Ugh…yes?" Sokka said not entirely sure if he was ready for the answer.

"Fine the reason I've put on weight is because of you." Sokka raised an eyebrow, no longer being scared of Suki, but now confused by her. Katara and Aang got back up and smiled at each other. Suki noticed this exchange.

"Katara, did you tell Aang?" Suki asked her friend.

"No, he told me." Katara said motioning to Aang.

"Oh and how exactly did you know Aang?" Suki said redirecting her question at the monk.

"I was looking for Katara and I listened in on your conversation. Sorry for the intrusion." Sokka, getting annoyed by not knowing what everyone was talking about, began to draw the attention back to himself.

"Ok that's great now will someone please tell me how I caused you to put on weight!" Sokka demanded.

"Fine," Suki sighed ", the reason it's you is because…I'm pregnant." Sokka's face slowly turned into a smile as large as Appa.

"Really! So I'm going to be a dad?" Sokka asked as he ran over to Suki and got down on his knees and held her hands.

"Yes, but you're not going to be a dad to just one of them…you're going to be a dad to twins!" Suki said barely holding back her excitement. Sokka was jumping up and down from the news. Suki took Katara upstairs for a minute to talk to her; this was when Aang got to question Sokka.

"Sokka, you're a really good actor." Aang said.

"What are you talking about?" He asked raising an eyebrow.

"You already knew Suki was pregnant with twins and yet you acted as if you didn't know, don't tell me you forgot about that already?"

"I guess I kind of did. It doesn't matter anymore though; I can talk to her about it all I want now. "

"Sokka, how could you have forgotten that your girlfriend and probably future wife was pregnant…how does that not matter?" Aang said almost shouting, not understanding Sokka at all. Other customers in the tea shop were staring at them.

"Aang calm down it's not that big of a deal." Sokka said noting the stares. "My forgetfulness made everything work out for the better in this case. I wonder what they left to go talk about." Sokka thought out loud. As if Sokka called for them the two girls came back down the stairs with great smiles on their faces. They both sat down in their boyfriends lap and gave them rather passionate kisses.

"Well hello to you too." Aang said as Katara broke the kiss.

"What did you two go and talk about?" Sokka asked as Suki broke their kiss.

"Oh you know girl stuff." Suki said turning to Katara and giggling a little bit.

"Ah man, I hate girl stuff. That always means we either wouldn't get it or will never know what it is." Sokka complained as he dropped his head right onto Suki's shoulder. He mumbled something that nobody could comprehend.

"What was that?" Suki asked lifting Sokka's head up.

"Oh nothing, I'll tell you later."

"Ah man, I hate guys I'll tell you later. It always means it's really important and they won't tell you until LATER." Suki said mocking Sokka's earlier complaint. Everyone had hearty laugh at Suki's comment. For once she was funny.

Later that week Aang and Katara were walking around the middle ring to enjoy some alone time at a small restaurant.

"So Aang." Katara simply said. She enjoyed the comfortable silences they had but a nice conversation was always welcomed.

"What's on your mind?" He asked looking into his girlfriend's deep blue eyes.

"What did Sokka want to say to Suki a few days ago?"

"Uh…I have no idea. I wonder what it is. Did you do something with your hair?" Aang asked trying to avoid the question.

Katara raised an eyebrow at his comment. "Ok I might have believed you if you didn't say 'uh' in the beginning of your sentence or bring up my hair."

"What? I never said that. I really think you did something with your hair." He said reaching for her hair only to be slapped on his wrist.

"Aang. My. Hair. Is. Fine. Now, what did Sokka want to ask Suki?" Katara asked slowly.

"I tell you just about everything that happens between Sokka and me but I can't tell you this."

"Aww, come on, please?" Katara begged.

"Nope, I'm not going to tell you, no matter how much you ask." Aang crossed his arms and turned his head away.

"Please?" Katara tried one more time.

"Well…I might tell you…for a kiss." He turned his head to Katara with a devilish smile on, which she returned.

"If that's your price then I think that I can agree to that." She walked around the table and sat on his lap. She pulled his head towards her own and their lips embraced. They kissed as if it would be their last time. The two felt much passion and wanted to go further, unfortunately the rules of society did not permit it.

"Ahem." Aang and Katara broke away to see Sokka and Suki standing next to their table.

"So are you two here for the food or just to make out?" Sokka asked them.

"Both." Katara said as she turned back to Aang and began kissing him again.

"Hey I…oh what's the point, I'm just going to get yelled at and then they'll keep going." Katara broke the kiss and turned to her brother.

"Well it's about time you realize that. So are you two here to join us?"

"Well we didn't even know you were here. But now that were here I guess so." Suki explained to them.

"Great, don't just stand there take a seat." Aang said inviting them to sit. They all enjoyed a peaceful meal with each other. Later that, night in Katara and Aang's room, the two were quietly enjoying each other's company in their bed.

"So Aang, you never did tell me what Sokka wanted to ask Suki."

"Sometimes your memory is a little too good."

"I just want to know; besides you said that if I gave you a kiss that you would tell me."

"I guess you're right, ok I'll tell you…Sokka is planning to ask Suki to marry him." Katara let out a quiet squeal of excitement.

"You have to promise you won't tell Suki this." He said trying to quell her excitement.

"Even though it may be the hardest secret I've kept, I promise I won't tell Suki."

"Thank you…oh yeah you also can't mention this to Sokka until after he asks her ok?"

"Why not? It would be so much fun to talk with him about it." Katara teased.

"Well only if he talks with you about it then it's ok. But not any time before that got it?"

"Yes dad." She said patronizingly. Aang laughed and rolled her top of her and began to tickle her, she tried to fight back but Aang had the advantage. Katara's laughter began to grow louder Aang stopped, as much fun as it was, he would not want to wake everyone else. Her laughter began to quell to a giggle. Aang kissed her forehead and looked into her eyes.

"I love you Katara, if there was some way for me to show you how much I love you I would do it."

"I love you too Aang, so never forget it." They kissed once more to close the night.

The next day Sokka had pulled Aang and Katara into his room. Suki was downstairs talking with Iroh and Toph.

"Ok so Aang you already know about this but Katara I have to tell you to get your opinion." Sokka paused. "Katara…I'm going to ask Suki to marry me." Katara instantly glanced over to Aang. He knew well what she meant by it.

"Well that was a lot shorter of a wait than I thought." Katara said to Aang.

"Hey I'm as surprised as you." Aang replied.

"What are you two talking about?" Sokka asked.

"Oh nothing, now back to you asking Suki to marry you." Aang said waving Sokka off.

"Ok then, anyways, Katara do you know if Suki would prefer a Water Tribe marriage or an Earth Kingdom one?"

"Why would I know that?"

"I don't know? Because you're a girl and girls talk with each other about stuff and things?"

"Why don't you give her a betrothal necklace and have an Earth Kingdom marriage? That way it makes both nations happy."

"Katara you're a genius!" Sokka screamed as he hugged his sister.

"I'm not normally this modest but…yeah I kind of am." She said pulling her brother off her.

"I have to go and get a stone for her. What color should it be? Green? Blue? Green? Blue? Definitely green." Sokka ran out of the room to go find a merchant selling the stone leaving Aang and Katara alone in the room.

"You really are a genius you know that right?" Aang asked her as he pulled her close to him.

"I know." Katara simply said as she placed a kiss on his lips.

Aang began to smile. "You know something? I really do not know what I would do without you.

"Well maybe you would find some other girl that can make you as happy as I can?"

"Yeah, I'll find another girl like that when Zuko's the Avatar." Katara giggled at Aang's joke.

"Should we head back downstairs?" She asked. Aang nodded and they walked down the stairs to find Suki and Iroh in the middle of a game of Pai Sho. They sat down nearby.

"Suki I didn't know you knew how to play Pai Sho." Aang said.

"I don't, but Iroh is one great teacher." She said.

"The secret is proper aging." Iroh said.

"But I thought you said that the secret to good advice and great tea was proper aging." Aang said.

"Those two as well, but if you know how to use all three effectively they can be your greatest advantage." He said as he moved a piece up to beat Suki. She groaned in disappointment.

"Are we still talking about tea, Pai Sho and advice?" Aang asked.

Iroh smiled at him. "What do you think?" He said casually.

"I don't know what to think honestly." Aang replied scratching his head.

"I think we should go find something to do, I'm bored." Toph said nonchalantly.

"I'm with Toph on this one, what do you say Aang? Would you like to escort some ladies around town?" Katara asked her boyfriend.

"Of course I would. Suki would you like to join us?" He asked her.

"I'm right behind you. Thank you for the lesson Iroh." Suki bowed to the old man and followed her friends out the door. Aang had the pleasure of escorting not only his girlfriend but also two of his best friends as well around the upper ring of Ba Sing Se. There was not much to the upper ring other than the university and the palace. It had little to no shops and a restaurant was almost impossible to find. They eventually moved down to the middle ring to continue their adventure. They walked into a rather odd antique store and looked around.

"Hey check this out." Aang said picking up a monkey statue with ruby eyes.

"I think it's safe to say that we have seen that thing almost everywhere we go." Katara pointed out remembering all the places that the statue has been.

Suki took the statue from Aang. "I think he's cute, he reminds me of Sokka when things don't go his way." Out of nowhere, Suki realized something.

"Hey guys? Where did Sokka go? I saw him run out of the Jasmine Dragon and then nothing since then."

Aang and Katara shared a glance in which Suki noticed. "What do you two know?"

"What makes you think we know anything?" Aang responded.

"You two looked at each other! I know you know he is up to something. Toph!"

"What? I'm with you on this one. I have no idea what's going on here."

Suki knew something was up, but she let it passed for now. After leaving the store, they all made their way back to the Jasmine Dragon and caught up with Iroh.

Suki, tired from the babies and the day, went upstairs to go to bed. The rest of the Gaang sat around a table with Iroh for a few hours before the front door slowly slid open. They all looked at the door to see Sokka's face cautiously emerge from the entrance.

He whispered, "Is Suki around?" They all shook their heads, "Good, then I can bring this in." He carried in a small bag and placed it on the table. Before anyone could ask, Sokka took the contents out. It was a jade rock, navy colored velvet-like material and a small knife. Katara and Aang instantly knew what it was all for and smiled at each other.

"Sokka, you're going to make Suki's necklace!" Katara pointed out rather than asked.

"Yep and I hope she likes it. It's rather unusual for Water Tribe customs to be influenced by Earth Kingdom customs."

"Trust me Sokka," Katara turned his face towards hers "She'll love it." Hearing his sisters' confidence in him Sokka knew he could do this.

Four days had passed and Sokka was finally ready to ask Suki to be his wife. With everyone in on the plan, except for Suki, they all gathered in the Jasmine Dragon for the celebration. Sokka grabbed Suki and took her outside.

"Suki, when we first met I misread you. I thought you were just some helpless girl who could not do anything outside a house. I soon found out how poorly mistaken I was and that you were so much more than that. I could have never met a better girl than you. You make my bad days great and my life perfect."

"Sokka…why are you saying all of this?" She acted as if not guessing already.

"I'm saying this Suki because I love you. I love you with all my heart, soul and mind. What I'm trying to say is…will you marry me?" Sokka pulled the betrothal necklace out of his pocket. It was beautifully carved with a fan on one side and a sword on the other. Tears already forming, Suki dropped to her knees and held out her hand to accept the gift.

"Of course I will!" She said in between sobs. She threw herself at him, hugged and kissed him. They soon heard the cheering of their friends from inside the teashop. Aang and Katara spoke to each other quietly.

"You do know that someday that will be us, right?" Aang said standing behind Katara and wrapping his arms around her waist.

She giggled, "I know. It's just the anticipation that kills me."

"All in due time. We just need to have patience." She gave him a look, "I know, I know, it's a lot easier said than done."

Later that night in Aang and Katara's room, the two lay comfily in their bed.

"So when do you think we'll be together?" Katara asked.

"As soon as you're of age. I would never go against your culture." Aang responded.

"So does that mean you would make me a betrothal necklace as well?" Her question did make Aang think. He could never make her choose between her mom and him. Nevertheless, what would he do instead?

"I would figure something out so that way you could keep your mom's necklace. I couldn't make you choose between us." She nuzzled into him.

"I know you mean best Aang, but when the time comes, I'll move on…for you." She looked up at him and they kissed. It was brief but well needed. It represented more of an 'I'll be there for you' factor than anything else did.

"I'll figure something out Katara. After all, I have a whole year."

"I know you will. But for now, good night Aang, I love you."

"Good night Katara, I love you too.
