I have started writing Prequels, here is a list of them:

A Second First Date; One month after Aang defeated Fire Lord Ozai

Nightmares; A One-Shot Prequel to Together Again. Aang saved the world, he faced Ozai on his own. Everyone kept saying that he was a great hero, that he was so brave. He wore a brave face and acted all the hero they thought he was. But at night in his sleep he was a scared boy, scared for his life as he tried to get away from a psycho Firebender. The Battle came back at night.

Anila's Story; This is another Prequel to Together Again. It's about a Young Female Airbender just starting out in life. She was ready to travel the world as soon as she turns 16. Little does she know, Destiny has a grand purpose for her first child.

Chapter 36

The days passed so quickly that a month had gone by, the days full of fun and happiness. The nights full of passion and lovemaking.

Some days Aang was called into meetings, leaving Katara with Gyatso and the two young girls .

They became like little sisters to Katara. She taught them how to sew and cook. Katara did their hair and a little makeup. She asked Aang if she was allowed to make dresses for them, she didn't want to offend anyone by giving them nontraditional clothes. He had told her time and time again that she could do as she pleased, Jasmine and Lilly were her maidens, and if she wanted to dress them in a way that others knew they were, that it was fine... He never could say no to her.

Aang got Katara material to make all the dresses she wanted in whatever style she wished. Katara had made Jasmine and Lilly dresses that matched all the dresses she made for herself. Some of the other Acolytes were a bit envious of them.

Jasmine and Lilly loved Katara like a big sister. They always showed up at Aang and Katara's home right after breakfast. Being Katara's maidens was almost no work at all, just a few chores here and there. They spent the days playing with Gyatso and getting spoiled by Katara. They had grown so close to her that they just called her Katara, however they still called Aang, Avatar Aang. Katara told Gyatso and the girls stories of the Team Avatar's Adventures. The girl didn't know that Aang had actually been killed, that Katara had brought him back to life with the spirit water. "Wow you are a Master Healer!" they had told her. They had seen the huge scar on his back where he had been hit by the lightning.

Before they knew it they had been married for 2 months. Aang had asked her several times when she wanted to move on to visit their friends. She always gave him the same answered "I don't know, I love it here. I will miss our Home and Jasmine and Lilly."

"You really do love those two sweet girls, don't you." He asked her one morning.

"Yes I do, they are adorable, sweet, and fun. The closest thing I ever had to a little sister was... Toph." She said.

This had him laughing so hard he could hardly breathe. Toph was far from the type of girl Katara liked to spend time with.

*KNOCK*KNOCK*KNOCK*

"That should be them!" Katara said going to answer the door. Aang was still laughing hard when the girls came in. "Don't mind him, he just thinks I'm really funny." She told Jasmine and Lilly.

His laughter got them giggling than flat-out laughing until their sides hurt.

When the laughter finally died down Jasmine asked "Will we be sewing today?" Katara had started teaching them to sew their own dresses, while she did hers.

"Oh I hope we will be! I can't wait till our dresses are done." Lilly said.

"If that's what you two want to do then we will sew." Katara said happily.

Jasmine and Lilly had gotten used to being around Aang, but they still blushed if he addressed them. Whenever Katara seen them blush she always said "Yeah, me too!" With a great big smile. This just made them giggle.

The night after the sewing was finished Katara decided it was time to go visit friends and loved ones. "Do you have any meetings that you need to go to or can we leave tomorrow?" She asked him.

"Nothing important, they can manage without me for a few months... they did just fine for that year and a half." He answered.

The next morning Katara felt like crap. She did her normal morning routine but it took her twice as long. She kept feeling dizzy and had to run to the bathroom several times because she kept having to throw up.

"Aaawwwww, Sweetie, I know you wanted to leave today but I think you should rest until it passes." He told her.

"I'm fine, the cool fresh air will help me feel better. Sweetie could you get me a few biscuits to eat, they will help my stomach feel better." She told him.

Aang took Gyatso and went down to the temple kitchen to get Katara some biscuits, there were all kinds of biscuits and he wasn't sure which kind would help.

Katara knew exactly what was wrong. "Not now... it's too soon, damn it." It felt like the flu but without the coughing, sneezing, or fever. And she knew staying in bed was just pointless. She had missed her cycle 6 weeks ago and she wasn't sure how to tell Aang yet.

Aang went into the Temple kitchen "Katara isn't feeling well, she asked me to get her biscuits, but there are so many different kinds, I don't know which to bring her."

Xing Ying had walked into the kitchen just in time to hear that Katara's stomach was not feeling to well. "You want the plain ones." She told him as she sipped on a cup of tea. "I'm sorry she's not feeling well. When did she start feeling sick?"

"Just this morning." He told her.

"Oh! Might there be another Airbender within the year?" She asked with a smile.

"Wha..? No, Katara would have said something to me." He said.

Xing Ying just smiled and handed him a basket with biscuits in it.

When he got back to her with the biscuits she was sitting in the front room packing her clothes, she only packed her orange, red, and yellow clothes for their trip. Jasmine and Lilly were there helping, their eyes red and they were sniffling. He had guessed she had told them that they would be gone for a few months.

"Are you feeling better?" He asked his radiant wife.

"A little." she answered.

He handed her the basket of biscuits. Taking one for himself and one for Gyatso. He looked at her out of the corner of his eye with a quizzical look. He decided to tell her about running into Xing Ying.

"I ran into Xing Ying in the kitchen," he said nonchalantly "I didn't know what kind of biscuits to get you. I told her your got sick this morning. She said for an upset stomach I needed the plain ones."

"Oh, how kind of her to help." Katara smiled as she ate little bites.

"Yeah she asked me the funniest question, I think you will get a kick out of it too." He said as he put Gyatso down to let him crawl around.

"Really, what did she ask?" Katara nibbled on her biscuits.

He folded his arms then looked directly into her eyes. He said "Might there be another Airbender within the year?"

Katara froze for a second then the corners of her mouth came up. "Or Waterbender, maybe even a Nonbender." Was her answer.

His eyes got huge and he picked her up and spun her around.

"OK, OK stop or I'll throw up again. I missed my cycle 6 weeks ago... this morning confirmed it."

The two girls jumped up and down excitedly "Another baby how wonderful!"

"As my maidens you know you cannot say anything that is said here."

"Yes, Lady Katara. We know." The girls bowed then ran to her and gave her huge hugs.

"I'm going to need more fabric... so l can make dresses that will fit me." She smiled at Aang.

"Anything you want, My Love!" He was absolutely beaming now. Being raised by monks he didn't have a real family but he always wanted one, when he was little he sometimes wonder what it would be like to have a mom and dad maybe brothers and sisters like his friends all over the world had, sure he had the monks and the other boys but never a REAL family. Now he had a REAL family and it was going to be bigger soon.

"When should we tell people? I didn't say anything about Gyatso until I was 6 months because I was unmarried. My father tried to have a tournament then but postponed it because of the pregnancy."

"Now? In a month? When your belly shows? I really don't know My Love."

"We could tell all of our friend and family now, then the rest of the world later." Katara suggested.

"I don't feel like a feast here until we come back. As soon as the Air Acolytes know they will throw a feast." Aang said.

Jasmine and Lilly nodded in agreement "They will too... Air Nomad Tradition."

"Okay so, we'll tell the ones we want to know about it in person, the Air Acolytes when we get back, and the rest of the world, literally, in a few months. We are going to need to cut down on the amount of time we spend with people." Katara rambled as she calculated on her fingers and started pulling stuff out that was already packed. "We need to be back before my clothes stop fitting me."

Jasmine and Lilly where so happy for two reasons, they were excited about the new baby and that Katara would be back sooner than she initially thought. They all went back to packing.

"Sweetie, I hate to ask you to walk all the way back to the kitchen again, but could you take the girls down to the kitchen and get more biscuits for my morning sickness, and food to take with us, please?"

"I'd love to... should I tell Xing Ying, at least? She can get things arranged for us like a bassinet, the fabric you need, things like that." He asked.

Katara laughed, "I said we can tell our FRIENDS and loved ones right away. I know she is one of your friends, Aang."

He picked her up and spun around again laughing. He was so excited.

"Aaaaahhhhhhh... Stop... Stop... STOP! Put me down!" She cried.

As soon as he set her down she ran to the bathroom. "Oh, I'm so sorry, My Love. I wasn't thinking."

He heard her mumbling through the door then retching then more mumbling.

"I'm sorry, My Love, I'm so so sorry!"

*retching* mumbling "SAID STOP!" *retching* mumbling "water please" *retching* mumbling "Love you" *retching* mumbling "not mad" *retching* mumbling "just excited" *retching* mumbling "hate this part"

He got her a glass of water. She was just coming out of the bathroom her face was a nice shade of Earth Kingdom Green. He handed her the water. "Thank you" she whimpered to him. He walked her to the couch.

"Jasmine, Lilly, would you please stay here with Katara and Gyatso? I can easily find help with the food." Aang asked them.

"Yes Avatar Aang, that is one of our duties." Lilly said.

He was so excited that he gave all 4 of them hugs before he ran out the door.

Lilly and Jasmine's red faces complemented Katara's green face. Katara let out a small laugh "He's so happy." She said as she sipped water and ate small bites of her biscuits.

Aang was so happy that his feet barely touched the ground. He first went to the kitchen to get boxes of food packed then have them delivered down to be loaded onto Appa. Next he Airbender ran to find Xing Ying. It only took 3 minutes to find her.

She got blasted with wind as he stopped in front of her. He was just beaming. "I told her what you asked."

Already knowing the answer by the look on his face. "What was her answer?"

"You cannot tell anyone until we get back... She said 'or a Waterbender or maybe even a Nonbender!"

"Congratulations Avatar Aang!" She said.

"OK I have to get back and finish packing." He said then took off Airbending as he ran.

The pink was starting to come back to her face when he got back. "Hi." she whimpered.

"My Love, are you sure you don't want to wait a day or two to leave." His heart was breaking at how sick she looked.

"It's going to be like this no matter where I am. I can lay down in Appa's saddle if I need to lay down, we've slept in there before. There is no reason to delay this trip any longer than we already have." She told him.

Appa was waiting in the main court-yard. All the food boxes where already loaded. Aang Airbent their stuff up on Appa. Then picked Katara up and put her on Appa's head next to him, Jasmine handed Gyatso to him and they were all ready to go. "Yip Yip" he called.

"Bye everyone!" They waved as they flew off.

(A/N I am so happy with this chapter, I am actually Excited for Aang, He's so happy.)
