Chapter 36

Pema stared at the floor, then to Tenzin, and back to the floor. When she finally looked back at Tenzin, she gulped down her nervousness and stepped forward to him, making him take a step back.

"Answer my question Pema. What are you planning against Lin and Jade?" He asked her again, this time crossing his arms and looking at her with a stern face. Pema looked at him with a sad look, hoping that he'll change his expression.

"Nothing dear." Pema softly whispered.

"What?" He asked her skeptically.

"Nothing." She shouted at him, tears falling out of her eyes. She covered her face and sobbed into her hands, turning her back against him. She felt him walking closer to her and putting a hand her shoulder.

"I'm going to leave. I'll be back in the morning." Was all he said before he went out the front door. She collapsed to the floor and cried. She leaned against the wall and cried, not caring who was listening to her.

"Mom, why are you crying?" Jinora asked, placing a hand on her mothers shoulders. Pema looked up and wiped away her tears.

"It's ok sweetie. I'm fine." Pema told her and stood up, wiping away her tears. Jinora shrugged her shoulders and went back to bed, leaving Pema standing in the kitchen, crying.

"Wait, what were her exact words?" Lin questioned him, leaning against a filing cabinet. After she finished a stack of paperwork, Tenzin burst through the door, a gust of wind sending the papers everywhere.

"Jade Beifong will no longer be in Tenzin's life." He quoted as he continued picking up the papers he blew over.

"Are you sure?"

Tenzin stood up, handing the papers to her as she put them in the cabinet next to her. He nodded his head as he stepped forward, standing behind her and wrapping his arms around her. She smirked as she leaned in his arms.

"I love you Lin." He mumbled into her hair as he kissed it. She smirked and turned in his arms, facing him as she wrapped her own arms around his neck.

"I love you too Airhead."

She quickly slid the metal off her foot as she kissed him. They kissed until they both needed air and pulled away. A blush appeared on their cheeks as they leaned in for another kiss but Lin pushed him away when she felt someone approach the door.

"Mom, I got another letter from the same- oh? Hi dad." Jade said, appearing in door, stuffing a piece of paper in an envelope.

"Hello Jade." He answered back, stepping away from Lin. Jade raised an eyebrow, feeling their heartbeats.

"Ok? Well anyway. I got another letter from the sender again." Jade said and handed the letter to Lin.

Lin took the letter and read it. She handed the letter to Tenzin to read, making him gasp.

You better have your skills ready. Watch your back Jade Beifong.

Lin took the letter and put it in the filing cabinet.

"Jade, don't let this threat get to you. Who ever Pema is working with, you'll be a better fighter." Lin told her as she filed another case of the threat letters.

"Don't worry mom. I never let a threat get in my way." Jade said proudly as she sat down. She had her phone with her and decided to look at the photo she took.

"Tenzin, I need to talk to you real quick." Lin motioned towards the door. He nodded as they went into the hallway.

"Listen, as much as I hate to say this, but I need you to go back home and pretend you forgive her. When she is caught off gaurd, we'll expose her and then, we'll stop her." Lin told him, making him rethink on ger desicion.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure about this. I don't want her threating my daughter anymore." Lin said, leaning against the wall.

Tenzin stepped in front of her, placing his hands on her shoulders, looking into her eyes, "Whatever you say Lin, I'll fully support you."

"Thanks Airhead." Lin said, pecking his cheek and went back inside the office.

When Lin stepped back inside her office, she saw Jade sitting there, twiddling her thumbs.

"Mom, do you love dad?" She asked her, making Lin stiffen for a second.

"Well, I love him as a friend." Lin answered quickly and sat back down in her seat. She looked at Jade, who was staring at her quizzically from her spot.

Jade shrugged it off as she continued twiddling her thumbs. She felt Lin's heartbeat go down and then she asked, "Mom, I know your lying. Do you love dad as more than a friend?"

Lin snapped out of her thoughts when she heard Jade speak again. "Damn it Jade. If I tell you will you please let it go?" Lin asked her. Jade nodded her head as a wide smile formed on her face as she waited for her answer.

"Yes. I do love him as more than a friend." Lin finally confessed, a slight blush creeping on her face. Jade's squeling made her jump slightly until Jade wrapped her arms around her.

"Omigosh. Mom, that is so amazing" Jade yelled out.

"Calm down Jade. Why don't you go home now. I'm going to be here for half the night." Lin told her. Jade nodded as walked out the door.

Lin sighed as she sat back down, now feeling happy that she finally told someone that she had feelings for Tenzin.

"You do?" A voice asked her, making her jump slightly until a pair of arms picked her ip bridal style and the person sat down, putting her in his lap.

"Tenzin? I thought you left?" Lin asked, slightly surprised but settled into his lap. Tenzin wrapped his arms around her torso, holdibg her closer to him.

He softly kissed her hair and said, "I did. But when I heard Jade ask you that question, I had to hear your answer."

"Well you got your answer. I still love you, even after all these years." Lin said, tugging at his beard to bring his face down and placed a kiss on his lips.

"Well, I have to say. I love you too, Lin Beifong! Even after all these years." Was all he said before he captured her lips and kissed her deeply.

When Jade arrived home, she went to her room and unplugged her laptop and grabbing movies. She changed into a pair of sweats and a tank too and put her hair up in a messy ponytail.

Just when she settled into the couch, someone knocked on the door. She placed her laptop on the couch and went to see who it was.

"Hello Jade." Iroh said when she opened the door.

She leaned against the door way, crossing her arms and saying, "What do you want? How did you find out where I lived?"

Iroh chuckled and handed her a bouqet of flowers. Jade looked at the flowers, then back to him, then the flowers.

"Jade, I know your taken but just please hear me out." He asked her, stepping into the apartment. Jade closed the door and put the flowers on the table. She sat down next him on the couch and placed her laptop on the coffee table.

"Listen, I love you. I broke up with Asami because that's how much I love you. Please, give me a chance. I know Bolin is a great boyfriend to you, but can you please give me a chance." Iroh asked her, taking her hands in his.

Jade gasped at his reaction. She looked into his eyes, seeing how serious he was being. She looked down at her laptop, seeing her movie waiting for her to press play.

"Ok, I'll give you one chance. But, as much as I hate to do this to him, he can't know about it." She finally said, making Iroh break into a big smile.

He leaned in a softly pressed his lips on hers. Jade's eyes widened in shock and she pushed him away.

"Iroh, why'd you kiss me again?" She yelled at him, her eyes getting wider by the minute as they passed.
