Prompt by Araku the Validrava

"DAMNIT BUMI!"

Bumi ran up the stairs of his and Lin's home. Worried that something had happened to her. "What is it?! Are you okay?! Was it the baby?!"

Lin growled at him. "Damn straight it's the baby. It's too big now, which means my pants no longer fit."

Bumi looked down at her pelvis to find the button and zip of her pants loose. "You're right."

"I know I'm right. They're my pants."

"Well there is nothing we can do about. We haven't done our washing in the past two weeks. Now, if I had an Elephant Koi, a firebender and some soap. I could have our clothes washed, dried and folded in five minutes flat."

"Sell we don't have any of those items. So what do you suggest," her voice was laced with sarcasm, "great and wonderful genius?"

Bumi began to rub his beard in thought. His lips forming a smile when an idea hit him. "Trade?"

Lin deadpanned at the suggestion. "You want us to trade pants for the day?"

"Well, yeah. I've lost a lot of weight since becoming an airbender and you have gotten fatter-"

Lin scowled at the mention of becoming fat. "You want to try again? Because last time I checked, you were the one that knocked me up."

"Takes two to tango babe. And you knew what I meant. Anyway, given our current situation, I believe we should switch pants."

Lin looked down to the waistband of the airbending pants Bumi was currently wearing, taking note they fit him perfectly. "Your pants don't appear to be too big on you." Bumi turned around to reveal the safety pin that contained the excess material. "Fair enough. But won't Tenzin be mad if you don't show up in your uniform?"

Bumi gave her a shrug. "Then I'll tell him what I usually tell him when he doesn't agree with something I do, 'go shove it up your ass.'"

"Always the charmer Bumi."

"You love it."

She closed the gap between them, giving him a gentle kiss on the lips in appreciation. They swapped pants to which Lin instantly felt comfortable in the breathable pants. "I should have tried these when I was with Tenzin. How do they feel Bumi?"

"They ride up a little but nothing I can't handle." He pecked her on the cheek. "I'll see you after I finish training." He bent down, placing a soft kiss to her stomach and giving it a soft rub with his hand. "Daddy will be home soon baby girl."

Lin looked up from her position on the couch when she heard the front door open and close with a rough slam. "Bumi?" He walked into the lounge and plopped down on the opposite side of the couch. "Are you okay?"

Bumi groaned at the question. "No, I'm not okay."

Lin noticed that he was wearing his usual uniform. Her pants no wear to be seen. "Did Tenzin not appreciate your disobedience?"

"Oh he was fine with it. In fact he was ecstatic to hear you finally tried airbender clothes. But when we started to stretch… well I bent down to touch my toes and the pants kinda broke."

Lin couldn't help but laugh at Bumi's predicament. "Well at least you were wearing underwear." Silence. "Oh Bumi, you went commando! And in my pants!"

"I thought you would find it sexy and that it would make me look dangerous. Also, I didn't have any clean underwear. Tenzin was not amused. I feel sorry for the two girls stretching behind me. They caught an eye full."

Lin couldn't hold in the laughter any more. "Oh spirits, I wish I could have seen everyone's reactions. What did Tenzin do?"

"He gave me six pairs of new pants and offered to do our washing until the baby arrived."

"Please tell me you took him up on that offer."

"You bet your pants I did."
