1 month later after Stoick's death
"AAAAAAHHHHH IT'S TOO EARLY!" Lin Beifong screamed in pain as another contraction hit. Lin was holding her mother's hand as she lay in a hospital bed giving birth to her child.
"Lin just breath you are going to be fine." Toph tried to sooth her daughter as she watched her in intense pain. Lin had been in labor for 10 hours but it felt more like 10 days.
"Shut…up…mom!" Lin said panting in-between her contractions. Her hands were balled into fists and she was gritting her teeth. She was already stressed enough; she didn't need her mother coddling her.
"Okay Mrs. Beifong you can start pushing now." The doctor said as he got ready to help deliver the baby.
"GET THIS BRAT OUT OF ME!" Lin screamed as she just wanted to get this over with as soon as possible.
"He-he, I remember saying the exact same thing when I gave birth to you and Su." Toph said recalling the memory of when she was giving birth.
Toph was brought out of her thoughts as Lin screamed as she pushed with all her might.
In the hall
Tenzin was holding his wife Pema's hand as they listened to Lin's screams.
"I hope Lin is okay?" Pema said with worry for her friend.
"Don't worry Pema, Lin is strong, she will be fine." Tenzin said trying to reassure his wife.
In hospital room
Lin was left breathing heavy from pushing again.
"HOW MUCH LONGER IS THIS GOING TO TAKE!?" Lin screamed as she was nearing exhaustion.
"Not much longer Mrs. Beifong I can see the head just a little more." The doctor said as he got ready to catch the baby.
"You hear that Lin? It's almost over and soon you will be able to hold your baby. You just need to push a little more." Toph encouraged. She was happy that her grandchild would soon be born, and happy that she would be getting her hand back, she felt like Lin was going to rip it off.
"Okay just a little more I can do that." Line said as she prepared to push again.
Lin gave one final scream and fell back on the bed exhausted. She opened her eyes to the sound of a crying baby.
"It's a boy! A healthy boy." The Doctor said happily
The doctor cut the cord, cut the cord and wrapped him in a blue blanket. He passed the baby to Toph who took him to Lin.
"Hey squirt, let's take you to see your mom." Toph said to the baby with a smile as she took him to Lin who was still breathing heavy.
Lin opened her eyes and looked to her left to see her mother walking over to her with her son. Toph passed Lin her still crying son who she gladly accepted and brought him down to her chest and held him.
As Lin held her son she was amazed by how much he resembled his father. He had a small amount of red-brown hair, and his father's nose.
"Shhh, it's okay mommy's here, Haru." Lin said trying to get her son to calm down.
After hearing his mother's voice Haru stopped crying and opened his eyes. Lin looked into his emerald green eyes. After a few minutes of staring Haru smiled making him look even more adorable.
"You did well kiddo." Toph said proud that her daughter had finally started a family of her own. Maybe now she would lighten up.
"Yeah, he's beautiful, isn't he mom?" Lin asked her mother while never breaking eye contact with her son.
"I would agree but I am blind." Toph said.
"Oh, sorry." Lin apologized forgetting that her mother is blind.
"It's fine, I won't hold it against you, you've been through a lot." Toph said waving it off.
Haru brought his hand out and tried to reach for Lin's hair. But instead Lin let him grab her finger.
"He has a strong grip, he's going to be a powerful earth bender, I can tell." Lin said as she felt Haru's grip in her finger.
"Well he does come from a line of powerful earth benders, I would be surprised if the little squirt didn't inherit your skills." Toph said agreeing with her daughter.
Tenzin and Pema were allowed into the room to see the baby. Pema came in and stood by Lin's side while Tenzin stayed back and watched by the door. Pema looked at the baby and gasped, she was in awe of the little boy.
"Lin he's adorable." Pema said in awe. While Pema cooed at Haru, Lin looked up and saw Tenzin standing by the door.
"Hey Tenzin, get your butt over here and see your godson." Lin said in an amused tone.
"So this is really him? He's so small." Tenzin said looking at the baby boy then looked to his wife.
"Yep, his name is Haru Beifong" Toph said.
"Tenzin maybe you and Pema should start having kids." Lin smirked.
"I'll think about it." Tenzin said.
Lin noticed Haru starting to fall asleep and felt tired herself.
"I think it's time we let these two rest; they've had a stressful day and I need to get back to the council." Tenzin said leaving.
Lin looked at her son and smiled falling asleep with him.
