"Just sleep, my perfect wife. Just sleep."
ENS FLASHBACKKatara and Aang still weren't awake by the time Sokka and Keylarka and Keyshawn got back. Sokka went into the tent that was Katara's and saw the two cuddled up together.
"Now isn't that just too cute!" Sokka murmured to him self, making sure the two didn't wake up.
"Where is Zuko? And Iroh? Let's burn their butt hairs with this view!" Keyshawn chuckled out in a soft voice.
"Don't worry, I plan to marry her. Can I please go back to sleep now?" A very groggy Aang croaked out, not moving or talking to loud so as to not wake up Katara.
Keylarka and Sokka were taking a walk and just talking when she asked, " Are you okay that your sister is with the Avatar?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Keyshawn said that you didn't look at all happy about the situation."
"Naah. I am okay with it. Hey, there is your bro. Keyshawn! Over here!" Sokka and Yin, Keylarka, both jumped up and down trying to get Yang's attention.
I am just going to call you Yin and your brother Yang end author's note. Back to story.
"YIN! Do you remember what day this is?" Yang asked when he got near the two.
"February 14, why?"
"Happy birthday, sissy poo!" That earned him a solid smack on the head.
"Luckily you were born at midnight tonight, I have time to figure out a gift!"
"How far apart are you two time wise?" Sokka asked.
"I was born at 11:30 PM, he was born at midnight. Momma was given a break." All three laughed at that.
Keyshawn left with a sore head, leaving Yin and Sokka alone, making Sokka blush.
"Uhh, why are you blushing?" Yin tipped up his down turned chin and looked at him curiously.
"Are you, uhh, interested in dating?" Sokka asked, transfixed by Yin's brown/ hazel eyes.
"Well, well, what do we have here? Another birthday gift? A date? I accept, if you can catch me." Her eyes sparkled as she kissed him on the forehead and then started to run, Sokka chasing after her.
Katara slowly woke up to the realization that she was being held, being held by Aang. She smiled and gently kissed his lips, waking him up.
"Good morning beautiful." Aang whispered before undoing her hair and running his hands through it. A tear leaked out of her eye and he got a worried look on his face. "Hey now, what is this? Are you okay, sweetheart?" He gently wiped the tear away with his fingertip.
"Are you sure this is not a dream? My birthday went so right, but then wrong. And you came back to me. How did you get my momma's ring?"
Aang told her about the "Lady Mist". At the end, Katara was sobbing and Aang for the life of him would not let her go.
"That Lady Mist, she was my momma!"
"Oh sweetie, I wish I had known. I would have tried to get her here!"
"It is okay. She can only be 'alive' near water." She snuggled into Aang's warm shirt. She wished that he had brought back her mom, but she knew it was impossible.
"I have an idea, Tar, tonight lets, you, me and Sokka, go to the lake where I saw your mom. Maybe we will see her again?" That earned him the biggest hug yet and the sweetest kiss he could hope for.
"Ready to get up?" Aang asked while kissing her.
"I hate you for asking that. Can't we just stay in bed all day? I just got you back."
"You will have me for all eternity. Come on. Breakfast time. I cook? You are to be a Queen from now on. I shall serve you."
"Okay, I so don't think that will work. I will get fat and weak if you cook. Hauling the water is my job and you are a vegetarian. I eat meat, which makes you puky. You will probably stuff me so often so full of sweets that I will get bigger and fatter than the Fire Lord. You and I know both that he is HUGE!"
"I love you, and I won't do that. Come on, time to get up!" That had been said for the last time, he air bended the blankets off them and picked her up in his arms and carried her out side and set her down on a clean rock. Then he went about making breakfast. He often had to ask Katara how to cook the fish; he never had dealt with meat. Finally, she got up and cooked the meat herself as he made the berry stuffs. They were simple. A pocket of bread stuffed with berries. When the meal was done, Sokka and Yin and Yang showed up. More fish and berry stuffs were made and all of them gorged.
Katara and Aang explained their plan to go to see the 'Lady Mist' that night to Sokka and Yin and Yang. They all agreed to come.
Another perfect day, Katara thought, taking Aang's hand. She saw her hand with the engagement ring and once again lost her breath, which was quickly restored when Aang kissed her. Sokka and the other two whooped and laughed. The couple blushed but kissed a little longer then started cleaning. Every turn that they made seemed to be them looking at each other, both of them couldn't help but smile every time they caught sight of each other.
I am not single anymore! I am so happy!
