Uniter's Child Chapter 2

5 years later

It has been over 4 years since Shu Hai became part of the Beifong family, and everyone loved her. Baatar Jr. was always there when ever she needed him. Opal was the Aunt who spoiled her whenever she could with sweets and toys; Grandma Suyin helped. Wing and Wei eventually warmed up to her and even babysat whenever Jr. was busy at his job in the engineering department, and when Suyin and Sr. were also busy. Huan took an immediate liking to her and plays with her once in a while, and she has been an inspiration for one of his works of art. Sr and Suyin liked to tell her stories while Shu sat in of their laps. Shu had dark hair brown hair, green eyes, and her mom's mole near her right eye.

Right now the Beifong family was out in the backyard. Huan creating a work of art, Wing and Wei playing their game of power disk wich caught on with metal benders in Zaufu, Suyin, Baatar Jr and Sr were discussing the infrastructure of Zaufu, while Shu was playing in the backyard with her Aunt Opal and Uncle Bolin. Baatar Jr. was looking at Shu smiling as she played. He then thought to himself, it was a rough first year as he had to take care of a baby and ignore the death threats toward him and his child, not only from citizens in Zau Fu and the rest of the Earth Democratic Kingdom, but from the rest of the world (well he did help invade the United Republic). Ever since the end of Kuvira's occupation, the former King Wu started transforming the Earth Kingdom into a democracy; however, much of the aristocracy believed that only a king or a queen should rule, and that no one from the poor should rule, and threatened a coup and the president of the United Republic was accused of secretly supporting the aristocracy. Before a civil war could ensue a compromise was made by the Avatar of a representative role for the monarchy and an elected government under the threat of the intervention by the Avatar (the president wasn't happy). When everything was settled and King Wu abdicated and let his little sister take the throne. Over the years his relationship with his family improved, Wing and Wei mostly forgave him and Huan… was just Huan. Opal forgave him and liked to play with Shu Hai. Bolin encouraged him and liked to play with Shu Hai as well. Opal and Bolin announced last night that Opal is pregnant which shocked everyone even though they are married.

In the middle of his reminiscing, he caught sight of a new talent that emerged within Shu. Bolin had his face collide with a pillar of earth that literally shot up from the ground. "Bolin!" Opal yelled as Shu looked at her own hands wondering what just happened.

Su ran towards the yard, then followed by everyone else "What happened?" Su asked.

"Daddy, can I earthbend?" Shu asked.

"Yeah." Baatar Jr. answered.

Shu then started smilling. "Daddy, I can earthbend and I'll be able to play power disk and I'll be able to do a bunch of other things…" she announced excitedly.

Her family were giving her bewildered looks. Much of her family were scarred that Shu may turn out like her birth mother, and some even hoped that she would not be an earthbender. Shu started to notice her family staring at her. "Um…why are you all staring at me?"

Shaking himself out of his shocked expression, "That's wonderful Shu Hai." Jr. said with a genuine smile on his face.

Suddenly everyone got out of their shocked expressions, and congratulate her until Bolin groaned. "Maybe someone should teach her and someone should help me see if Bolin is alright." Opal suggested.

This made Shu look at Bolin, who was on the ground covering his bloody nose. "Uncle Bolin are you alright?" Shu shouted as she finally notices her uncle.

"I'm ok," Bolin said as he waved his hand as blood was trickling down his face. "That was a good earth rise, sooner or later you'll be better than your…"

Bolin stopped as Opal put a hand his mouth. Shu was just smiling at Bolin. The rest of the family were giving Bolin hard stares. "I'll be better than who Uncle Bolin? Who?" Shu asked excitedly.

Bolin just stood there thinking of a person until "your… Grandma Su."

Shu starred up at her grandma in admiration. "Will you teach me grandma please, please?" she begged.

Su looked down at the little girl. "Oh alright, you start tomorrow."

Shu jumped up and down saying, "yeah."

Later that Night

"But daddy I can't sleep I'm too excited for tomorrow." Shu begged.

"You need to reserve that energy for tomorrow, and if you don't sleep you'll run out of energy for your first lesson ok sweetheart." Baatar Jr. replied as he kissed his daughter's forehead. "Good night little star?"

"Good night daddy."
