"Hey, mom?"

Katara looked up from the book she was reading and saw the twins standing in front of her, each of them wearing identical pajamas, just different colors. Katara sighed.

"Girls, its eight o'clock at night, you guys should be asleep." She remarked, as the two daughters climbed up in the chair she was sitting in.

"We couldn't go to sleep." Hope said.

"And why not?" their mother asked.

"We were thinking about stuff." Charity said.

"Like what?" the twins were silent for a moment, their unblinking eyes on their mother.

"Like what?" Katara repeated slowly.

"Like how we don't have a daddy." Katara drew in a quick breath. She knew they would be asking this one day. She just didn't know it would be so soon.

"Girls, I don't want to talk about daddy." Katara answered, tears pushing at the back of her eyes.

"But why not?" Charity asked, whining.

"I just don't," Katara said, trying hard not to make her voice crack.

"But why? Can't you just tell us?" Hope asked.

"No, I can't. Now both of you go back to bed." Katara told them firmly.

Reluctantly the twins headed down to their bedroom. Katara continued to read her book, but as she read it, she noticed that the print on the page was becoming more blurry with every second. She blinked, and a single tear fell on the page. She closed the book, trying hard not to think about Aang. But her thoughts overcame her emotions, and tears began to fell down her cheeks. She quickly tried to wipe them away, but more continued to fall.

She quickly ran to her bedroom and threw herself on the bed like a rag doll. Thoughts crowded her mind:

Why did this have to happen to me? How could he leave me like this? I loved him so much. He said he'd always be here for me. But if he did, why isn't he here right now? Why am I here? To suffer?

Katara quickly shook that last though out of her head. No, she knew that she wasn't here to suffer. She knew she was here to live. Suddenly, the most peculiar thing happened. She felt as if Aang's arms were around her, and that he was in the room with her. Katara though this was real because she out her arms around mid air. Then she opened her eyes. No one was there. Katara curled back on the bed into a fetal position and began to cry.
