Bolin ran across the sand, a wide smile on his face. He felt a small pair of arms wrap around his leg and a shout: "I got you, Daddy!"

The Earthbender fell to the ground, carefully making sure he didn't hit the young child. "It seems you have, Terra," he chuckled.

Terra giggled as she climbed on top of Bolin, sitting on his stomach; her bright green eyes sparkling and brunette pigtails bouncing. Bolin sat up, placing the five-year-old girl on his lap. He kissed the top of her head as she waved her hands around in the air. "Let's go see what Papa and Aiden are up to," he suggested.

With a quick scoop, he lifted Terra up and placed her on his back, her legs wrapped around his neck and hand wrapped in his scruffy hair. "Mush, Daddy! Mush," Terra called out, pointing into the distance.

Bolin chucked before walking back to their spot on the beach. As they got closer, they saw Iroh sitting next to Aiden working on a sand castle. "Hey guys," Bolin called.

Iroh turned to them, a smile on his face. "Hey," he replied.

Bolin lifted Terra up over his head and set her down. She immediately ran over to sit next to Aiden, willing to help with the castle. Iroh stood, patting the sand off his swimsuit. Iroh gave him a small kiss before saying: "We should come here more often."

"I know, this place is beautiful," Bolin answered. The general wrapped an arm around Bolin's waist, as they affectionately watched Aiden help Terra place the small red flag on the top of the castle.

"We've raised beautiful children," Iroh whispered, kissing his cheek. Bolin smiled proudly, hugging the general closer.

"We have haven't we, but I was thinking how about we raise one more," the Earthbender murmured. Iroh held a shell-shocked expression for a few seconds before smiling.

"Sure why not," he finished. Bolin smiled brightly, excitement clear in his green eyes. They were going to have another child.

Iroh fondly recalled the first time they talked about having children. It had begun as a normal conversation, and ended with them discussing how they wanted to go about having children. He always knew that Bolin wanted to have a child, but with his relationship with Iroh that couldn't happen.

But he soon found out, during that conversation, that Bolin was ecstatic about the idea of adopting. He understood the pains of losing your parents and being left alone, he knew that some of the places orphans were sent were not proper places for children to grow, so by adopting he could give a few children a healthy place to live and have loving parents.

Not too soon after that, they both became extremely devoted to the idea and wanted to adopt as soon as possible. Aiden was 5 months old when they adopted him; he seemed to almost have to the same eye color as Iroh, which got them excited about the possibility of a Firebenders.

The first few months were a bit of a struggled, getting used to having a baby in the house. Though once Aiden turned 4, the couple decided they wanted another child. Bolin decided this time they should adopt a girl and so Terra became a part of their family.

Iroh still sometimes couldn't believe how sweet of an older brother Aiden was to Terra. When Terra first came to their home, he'd always offered to feed her and play with her, though he'd left the diaper changing to the two of them. And now, he took care of her, watching over her and now especially cautious since she was beginning school. He never was too over bearing but he was always there when she needed him.

Today was one of those rare days where they all got to take a break. Iroh decided that Ember Island would be a perfect place for that. And Bolin chose that this was the time to tell Iroh about his idea.

"Hey kids, what do you think about having another little brother or sister," Bolin exclaimed. Terra squealed in excitement, jumping up into Bolin's arms.

"Yes, please, I want a little sister. So, we can braid each other's hair and play princess, it would be so amazing," Terra answered.

"I would love another sibling," Aiden said, standing next to Iroh. The four of them stood together on the beach, smiling as Terra listed off the thing she and her possible sister would do. They were devoted as a family, to protect each other, to be there for each other, and to support each other. And they would welcome this new member of the family together.

A/N: Meh~! The idea was good, but it didn't turn out how I hoped. Well please R&R, it's greatly appreciated.
