Toph
As soon as we walked into the room where our group was meeting for our annual reunion, I realized something waswrong. There were too many heartbeats coming from Twinkles. Two of them were small and faint. Twinkles seemedheavier, too. Like he wasnt his usual light-stepping self.
Twinkles? Why am I picking up three heartbeats from you?
Oh. Um, you can tell?
Yes, Twinkles, I can tell. I heard Teo gasp beside me.
Aang? Are youpregnant?
Yeah. Were having twins. As happy as I was that two of my best friends were having children together, I couldnt help but think of all the opportunities for teasing this situation created. I flopped down in a chair beside Teo.
You know, Twinkles, I would have thought that after ten years, you might actually top once in a while.
Actually, Toph, I top all the time. Especially now that Im showing. Zuko finds being dominated by his pregnant lover hot beyond measure. Dont you, Zuko? Zuko squawked, sounding embarrassed.
Teo was full of questions about the pregnancy. Twinkles finally got tired of answering them.
Alright, alright, enough about us, how are you two doing? Have you set a date for the wedding yet?
We were thinking around the Autumnal Equinox. Were going to get married in Omashu.
Thats great. Hopefully Zuko relaxes his overprotectiveness enough to let me go, since Ill really be showing by then. Hes bad enough now. Twinkles might be complaining, but I could hear how happy he was in his voice. I didnt think he was as irritated with Sparkys fussing as he was pretending to be.
If he doesnt, just send Teo a letter and Ill come here and make him let you. Twinkles and Sparky both laughed.
Ill do that, Toph. I think just the thought of you coming here will keep him in line, though.
It had better.
Teo
I could hardly believe it. Aang was pregnant. It went against all the laws of science, but the proof was right there in front of me. I studied him closely as Toph teased him about topping. I had never seen my friend look so happy. Becoming an expectant mother was good for him. He was glowing with happiness, and whenever he looked at Zuko, love.
How did you find out you were pregnant?
Roku told me in Ba Sing Se. I had no idea before he said anything, honestly.
Did he say how you got pregnant?
The spirits helped. I was supposed to be born a girl, actually. Thats how Im able to conceive, but Zuko never will. I could not picture Aang as a girl. Not even now that he was pregnant. The idea of Zuko pregnant was pretty funny, actually. It was kind of a shame he couldnt get pregnant. I would have loved to see that.
What about baby names? Have you guys picked out any?
We picked out two names for boys and two names for girls. Lu Ten and Tenzin for boys, and Kazuka and Meifeng for girls.
Sokka and Suki will probably have plenty of questions, Teo. I knew what Toph was getting at, I just had a few more questions.
When are you due?
In about six months. Alright, alright, enough about us, how are you two doing? Have you set a date for the wedding yet?
