"Tiny!"
Toph rolled her eyes and just smirked. "For the twentieth time, Lin, yes, she is very tiny."
The three-year old touched the thin black curls that rested on her sister's head. Toph immediately warned her.
"Be careful, you can touch her but only softly."
Lin looked up at her mother. "Hurt, Mama?"
"Yes." Toph smiled at her intelligent girl. "She is still a baby."
Lin patted the infant's head softly. "Baby sister."
"She has a name, Lin."
"Me Lin." Toph's older daughter pointed at herself.
She nodded. Toph brushed a finger gently down her new infant's face. " And she is?"
Lin smiled widely. "Suyin!"
The three Bei Fongs were currently inhabiting Toph's bed. The earthbending master sat on the right side, one foot on the ground for security, and an arm around Suyin. The eldest of the Bei Fong sisters stood on the other side of the bed with her arms reached out to touch her sister's head. The trio had just returned from Air Temple Island where Suyin had her first check up. Katara stated the general facts and declared the child a healthy four-month old. After dinner and catching up, the three ended up where they are now.
"Suyin no talk, Mama." Lin frowned at her mother.
Toph chuckled. " Su is still a baby, remember? She doesn't know how."
"When?"
"Eventually. Then you two can talk all you want. Bet that won't drive me up the wall."
At that moment, Suyin sneezed. The sudden discomfort brought new tears to the girl's eyes and it wasn't long until she let out a cry.
"Come on now. You just scared yourself." Toph picked Su up and began to rock her. Lin decided to get up on the bed completely and latch on to her mother's back to continue observing her sister.
Lin patted the fine hairs once more. "All okay. Just achoo!"
Suyin looked up at her sister but continued to whimper. She grabbed at the air which indicated to Lin that the small girl wanted a hand to hold. The two held hands comforting Suyin enough to stop crying.
Toph turned her head and kissed her eldest on the cheek. "Thanks, Badgermole."
"Help Mama!"
"It's just the three of us. We all need to help each other."
Both Lin and Suyin yawned. Toph just smirked.
"Looks like my little badgermoles are tired."
She carefully picked up both Su and Lin, one on each arm. She placed a kiss on both girls' head. Toph held them close to feel their gentle heart beats. In all her years, she had not imagined herself with two daughters, regardless of how they only shared half the same blood. The point was, they shared Toph's blood meaning they were family.
"This is our family. It's small, but all ours."
Toph continued to sway with her daughters.
Hey guys! I'm back! It's summer time and with the news about Lin's half sister, I couldn't resist. I'm hoping to make this a multi chapter as well. I'm really excited to start writing again. I hope you enjoyed the chapter! Remember to review! They are small gifts that bring me joy (:
