Item: Mother's day
Pairing: Lin/Su/Toph
Prompt by: YOLO1882
The sun was yet to rise as a six-year-old Lin Beifong pulled off her sheets and got out of bed. Her little feet padded down the hall silently until she reached her baby sister's room. "Hey Suyin, are you ready to give mum our present?"
The six month old gurgled and reached her arms out towards her big sister, ready to be picked up.
Lin raised herself up on an earth pillar and took Su into her arms. "Do you think mum will like our present? I think she will. I know you didn't help but you're part of this family and she's your mother too, even if we don't have the same dads. I don't know who my dad is. It doesn't matter cause I have you now."
Lin walked out into the hall and to her mother's door. Reaching up, she turned the knob and pushed open the door to find Toph asleep, face down in her pillows and feet up in the air. The six year old put her sister as far as she could into the middle of the bed before climbing on. She put her little hands on her mum's bicep and shook gently, jolting her awake.
"Huh? Who's there?"
"It's me mum and Su."
"Hey badgermole. What are you doing up so early? My alarm hasn't even gone off yet."
"It's mother's day. I wanted to surprise you."
Toph sat up in bed and stretched before giving Lin a kiss and taking her youngest into her arms to hold her close. "Surprise me? With what?"
"Wait right here. No peeking… you know what I mean."
"I'm not going anywhere Lin." The Chief of police listened to the young earthbender running off, before 'looking' down at the baby in her arms and tracing the features of her face with a gentle hand. "Your big sister sure is excited about this. I figured now is the perfect time to tell you that you won't be celebrating father's day. It's not that I don't want him to be around you, it's just that he's an important man to this city and he can't have distractions. Just know that he loves you. He really does. But on the bright side, if you ever need a father, you can go to Lin." A soft chuckle rumbled in Toph's chest. "She loves you a lot and I know as you two get older, you'll be the best of friends."
Lin ran back in and jumped onto the bed before crawling up to the Chief's side. She took her mother's hand into her own and placed a six inch figurine into it.
Toph ran her free hand over the features, tearing up slightly as she felt the memory of her first moment with her completed family. "Why?"
"I wanted to draw you a picture but Uncle Sokka said you can't see it, so he suggested that I make you something. Uncle Sokka said that the one thing that made you happy was when you are with me and Su. So this is our first moment with all of us together."
Toph quickly put the figurine aside, of her in a hospital bed, with a new baby in her arms and her old baby kneeling on the bed next to her, looking down at the new baby, before quickly pulling Lin into her side for a tight hug. "This is beautiful Lin."
"Happy mother's day."
The family spent the rest of the day playing with each other, telling jokes and stories, and eating junk. Just like any normal family.
