.26. Family Matters

Being mothers is harder than they thought it would be. Even if they had watched Izumi and the family matters revolving around her, they could not possibly be prepared for a child of their own.

Ty Lee expresses her disbelief at Mai and Zuko babysitting, saying, "I can't believe they agreed to watch her."

"I can't either," Azula says.

They finally reach their bedroom. They had made-out more than once on their date. Now they have to return to a world of falling asleep beside each other and sharing only the moments in which they played with their child. Azula begins to undress, but Ty Lee just lies down on top of the bed, on top of the blankets, and finds out she does not want to go to sleep.

The date gave her too much of a buzz.

"They…" Ty Lee has a maniacal grin on her face. "They still have her as their responsibility for the rest of the night.

Azula catches on. "They do."

Ty Lee does not respond, she just pulls Azula down in a kiss that makes the firebender draw a sharp breath. It does not take half of a second for Azula to passionately return. This makes up for a thousand kisses and moments and sexual situations they could not share after having their baby.

Azula sits on the bed and Ty Lee sits up, running her hands through her raven hair as she slowly drags her tongue along her love's lower lip. They war tongues.

A long-missing stirring in Azula's stomach begins as she wraps one hand around the back of Ty Lee's neck and the other curls around her arm. Ty Lee moves so she is laying on top of Azula, held up by her arms.

Azula does, very oddly, in only sex does not mind surrendering control.

Ty Lee moves her hand move slowly up Azula's undershirt, feeling her love writhe and flex beneath her light touches. They too were almost forgotten. Ty Lee smiles into the kiss as her hand hits the soft roundness of the bottom of Azula's breast.

They remember what it feels like to be coated in sweat, feeling the smoothness of each other's skin, not caring about their rapidly beating hearts, the pulling sensation between their thighs, the slickness of Ty Lee's tongue now running down her neck.

Their eyes lock in a loving gaze for a moment. They need this moment to last if they want to maintain their cute little family.

When smirks, Ty Lee feels her heart clench so hard that she nearly lost her breath. She has not felt that since she and Azula were first together.

The golden eyes Ty Lee had seen broken, victorious, sad, pleased, smug, are cloudy with desire. It is hard not to notice after all of the time.

Ty Lee kisses lower and lower on her wife's body. Azula moans.

If they only have this one night alone together, they would treasure every single fleeting second.
