Chapter 9- A Baby with no Father
Katara's baby was due in 9 months, and it 9 months ago was the last time Katara saw Zuko. Katara would have her baby any minute now, but the only problem is, she didn't tell Sokka and Aang.
"Katara, is something wrong? Are you sick again?" asked Aang.
"No, I'm okay." said Katara.
"Aang, we should make a fast stop, we ran out of supplies." said Sokka.
Aang landed Appa on a small island.
"You guys, I'm not feeling well." said Katara.
"You should rest by Appa."said Aang. "We'll be back with some supplies."
"Wait, I'm not feeling well, because my water broke!" said Katara.
"About time you told us!" said Sokka.
"Sokka! Now is not the right time to argue with me! I'm in an uncofortable position here!" yelled Katara.
"Okay! okay! Sorry." said Sokka. "Aang! Get a blanket off of Appa's back."
Aang grabbed a blanket and handed it to Sokka.
'Oh great, where's a doctor when you need one?' thought Sokka.
Katara was screaming in pain.
Just then, a young woman covered in white walked through the trees.
"Is something wrong?" asked the young woman.
"My sister is giving birth. Could you please help? I'm not really good at this whole birth thing." said Sokka.
"Hand me that blanket." said the young woman, and Sokka handed her the blanket.
The old lady bent down on her knees. "Child, take several deep breaths. On the count of three breath in, and the count of three breath out."
Katara listened to the lady and did exactly what she told her to do.
"On the count of three push gently." said the young woman.
Katara pushed painly.
A few hours later, Katara gave birth to a baby girl. The young woman wiped the baby with her cloth, and cut the ubilical cord with a small knife. She wraped the baby with the blanket and handed it over to Katara.
"Here you go Katara." said the young woman.
Katara held the baby in her arms and looked up at the old woman. "How did you know my name?"
The young woman showed Katara the water bending necklace, the exact necklace that Katara wore around her neck. The woman took off the cloth that covered half of her face.
"Mom?" asked Sokka in surprise.
Katara was speechless.
Take good care of your sister Sokka, Katara take good care of your child.
The woman walked away into the bright light, and dissapeared.
Katara looked down at her baby and smiled.
'Thank you mom.' thought Katara. 'I will never let anything happen to Mei. I promise.'
Another short chapter, Mei means beautiful in Chinese, correct me if I'm wrong. Anyway, more discription about the baby will be put in the next chapter.
