Chapter 2. Good morning… Not!

"Awwwwk! Awwwk!" The sun wasn't even above the horizon, though the first rays of light were dancing along the canyon hidden Temples walls, as the annoying screech of a very familiar messenger bird echoed down the nearly empty halls. "Awwwwwk! Awwwwwk!" Hawky was hopping up and down along the railing outside of the residential hall's entrance. Unfortunately Momo was the first to great the hawk and soon the sounds of screeching, fighting animals was ringing clear down every part of the temple they were near. "Oh My SPIRITS! Sokka! Go get your damn bird before I cook it for supper tonight!" Suki shouted before promptly shoving her still dead-to-the-world husband's body out of their bed.

"I don't wanna go to the hive ...re's no cactus juice inside! Cactus Juice is Quenchy!" A very un-awake and now annoyed Sokka shouted as he landed face first on the hard rock ground. He jumped up quicker than his body had the balance for. "What? Where? When? I'll protect you Suki!" He shook his head back in forth as he struggled to stay balanced, his silver bladed sword whizzing around in his hands as he attempted to fend off any attackers that could have pushed him out of sleep, all the while the sounds of lemurbat-Messenger hawk fighting grew louder. Along with the pulsing vein in Suki's head."SOKKA! GET. THE. FREAKING. BIRD!" Suki's blood shot eyes were glaring daggers, her husband cowarded away from his insanely ticked off pregnant wife, nodding he darted out of the room, just in time to bump into Toph. "What. The. Hell. Is going on?" The earth bender asked in an extremely irritated voice though She didn't have to wait long for her answer. "Ouch! Ah! No! Bad MoMo! BAD HAWKY! OUCH MY EYE!" Though she was blind, Toph had no problem seeing the vibrated images once she woke up enough to focus on them, she was on the floor rolling with laughter as Sokka tried to separate the never ending fight. "What's so Funny Toph!" He tried to sound brave as he covered his right eye with his hand and swiped failing out towards the fighting animals as they darted around his body. "Help Meee!" He whined as his companion remained cracking up, tears pouring down her faded green eyes.

Suki rolled over in annoyance, refusing to get out of bed at such an obnoxiously early hour, even though her husband's voices of pain were now added to the choir of hissing and screeching, along with Toph's unmistakably loud laughter. "Oh wow... " She mumbled, pulling the pillow over her head as she tried to get comfortable on her other side facing away from the exit. She felt a slight twirling motion in her stomach however that made her forget sleeping all together. "oh no..." She leapt out of bed quickly, nearly stumbling over Sokka's abandoned sword and mentally making a note to beat him with it for that later, 'I thought after five months this wasn't going to happen anymore!' she narrowly made it to the edge of the railing, not far from where the four loud noise makers had frozen to watch her. All but Sokka turned their heads in disgust as he managed to get Hawky perched onto his shoulder, leaving Momo covering his eyes near Toph. He was at his wife's heaving side in seconds, rubbing her back and holding her hair comfortingly as he waited for her to finish emptying what ever happened to be in her supposedly empty stomach.

"I'll... go get some water!" Toph spoke up before darting away, whipping her tear streaked from laughing eye's as she left, Momo perched on her shoulder. The couple ignored her as Suki moved away from the railing, shaking a bit. "Are you alright?" Sokka asked, his tone subdued and concerned. Suki took some deep breaths, a few moments later she nodded her head as she relaxed against his comforting chest. "I thought... I thought that wouldn't happen anymore? Why does being pregnant have to suck so bad!" Toph was back with a glass of water before Sokka could answer, The Kyoshi warrior gladly accepted it, taking tiny sips. "Well, maybe it's just because this is our first... hopefully it wont happen for too much longer though..." He replied softly, not knowing what else too say.

Aang was very much awake by the time the first screech had echoed across the halls, he was still curled up against Katara's sound asleep form and at the moment had no desire to leave. So instead he closed his eyes and just listened to everything going on, all the while playing with a strand of his companions hair. 'What am I going to do about you Katara?...would you accept me as a fit companion to marry?' Thoughts of marriage had popped up in his head from time to time, especially now that in a few months he would be old enough to marry her, though he was sure no one would protest it if he had asked her before now. His mind was dancing about thoughts of Katara; Katara wearing his engagement necklace, Katara in her traditional wedding cloths, Katara and him dancing to the Air nomads wedding song. Katara with a glow only a soon to be mother could have, Katara holding their first born child. Teaching that child, loving it, loving him even as the years passed and the looks of youth faded. His mind jumped from that rout, not wanting to think of death it unexpectedly turned to a far different thought. Katara beautiful and lost in the heat of passion, Katara naked, Katara and him making love for the first time. 'Wohhhh there! That might not be a good thing to think of this early in the morning…' the young man warned his mental thoughts, pulling out of those day dreams and throwing his mind into thoughts of the different bending styles. 'Earth bending, it's solid unmovable force, stubborn, forceful. Air bending, Evasive, fast paced, free. Fire bending, wild, crazy, passionate… like making out with Katara! Ahhh! No. no. no! Water bending, smooth, calm, emotional, flowing… Katara's skin, silky, her determination as she uses her water bending, the thin under wrappings that cover the rest of her… AHHHH! NOT WORKING!'

Aang whimpered as he tried anything and everything to get his thoughts off of the amazing, beautiful, stunning, woman next to him. The woman who was currently looking at him with a mischievous glint in her eye instead of sleeping, "Well good morning to you too..." She giggled as she brushed her backside up against a part of the Air bender that he had been desperately trying to hide. "uhm.. g..good morning." He managed to get out as his face turned a bright shade of crimson and he suppressed the shudder trying to go down his spine from her movement. "S-sleep well?" He tried again. "Oh I slept wonderfully, up until that is… I heard Hawky screeching…" She smiled lovingly and pressed her lips against his. He moaned slightly before pulling back. "Yeah, that's about when I woke up too…" He said with a little more confidence as he realized the most important woman in his life wasn't upset with his uncontrollable body.

"How about you, how did you sleep Aang?" Katara asked as her blue eye's remained locked onto his stormy gray. "Honestly, better then I've slept in weeks… Why don't we do this more?" he asked with a small grin that she returned. "You know… I was just thinking the same thing… Hey… everything's quiet… should… should we go out there and check on them?" Aang debated with her question for a few hard moments as he fought over the desire to stay nestled up against the beautiful water goddess he was lucky enough to call his girlfriend. "I guess so…" He finally said, though grudgingly. Katara giggled before rubbing up against his slowly calming body, making him go rigid in shock before she climbed out of the bed innocently.

"mmmmph… not… nice… Katara…" He mumbled as he buried his face under their pillow's, they smelt like her and he lost himself in that for a moment. "I think it's perfectly fair that I can enjoy the effect I have on my boyfriend." She said nonchalantly, he pulled himself out of the bed noting that she was already dressed and headed for the door. "You know… even for me, this is way too early." He finally said, choosing to ignore her comment all together.

The scene Aang and Katara came outside too had them both feeling bad for pretending not to hear the bird/lemur fight, as they took in Sokka leaning against the rail with Suki looking unusually fragile, an empty glass in her hands. Toph was fidgeting with Momo as they both weren't sure what to do currently. "What's wrong?" Aang asked, concern in his deep voice. "Suki threw up again…" Toph replied helpfully, her unseeing eye's looking up towards the Air and water bender's direction. "Where where YOU too all during this morning's event?" She decided to ask in a simi-teasing simi-irritated voice. "um… didn't hear it I guess?" Aang replied nervously with his hand rubbing the back of his head, he studiously avoided the blind girls gaze as he watched Katara try to help Suki towards the kitchen. Sokka was staring after them, a miserable expression on his face.

"You know I can tell you're lying right?" Toph replied, sarcastically she stomped the ground and made sure a trimmer shot right up the Avatars back. "So you too are sleeping together now?" Sokka asked with a half-interested voice as he tore his gaze off of the direction his wife and sister had gone. "um… maybe…" Aang blushed deep red. "It's… it's not what you think… I swear I would never… I mean…. You know… we were… we were just sl-" "-Just don't do anything stupid until your married…" The older boy interrupted irritably as he stroked Hawky's feathers and headed after his wife leaving both a stunned Aang and shocked Toph. "Wow… I never thought he'd let you off the hook so easily twinkletoes… he must be really worried about Suki…" Aang felt a deep anguish at the thought of his friends and how Suki's pregnancy hadn't gone easy on her at all. "I know… I wish there was something we could do for her…" Toph just nodded her head as she walked along side her Avatar companion in the direction the rest of their friends had headed. "Maybe I should make her some breakfast?..." Aang gave the Earth bender a frightened look, though she didn't see it.
