"Spit it out, goatee man" Toph was already upset about Sokka's silence and constantly walking around her bedroom.
"Spit what out?" He stopped looking at her. He was so deep on his thoughts that he really did not know what she was talking about.
"If I knew 'what' I would not be asking, meat head" the police chief closed the bedroom door, since she was sure both of her girls were already sleeping. "Although I have the feeling it is something to do with the girls going to school" she crossed her arms in front of the chest.
"Oh... yeah..." he came back to earth "I am not sure it's a good idea"
"You are the one who is always saying that I should try to give them a more 'normal' life" She got her hair clips out of her hair, losing her hair down. It had grown really long within the years. Sokka stared at their movement for a moment.
"You know what I mean" he dryly pointed out.
"Sokka, if the public didn't figure it out up until now, is not the fact that they will go to school that will make them discover something" She stopped leaning against the dresser. She rather focused on his name at the beginning of the sentence. The earth bender hardly ever called him by his name. When she did, he would know she was being serious.
"What if one of them accidently tell a classmate... or even worst, their teacher..." he started drawing himself into his thoughts again.
"Hey... hey... chill out, Councilman. How are they going to say anything if they, themselves, don't know about it" she reached his arm, trying to calm him down.
"I'm not so sure about that anymore. Lin is growing more and more perceptive each day. She might already know" He sighted.
"I would know if she knew. They can't lie to me, remember?" She took of her top, now she was just wearing her pants and bra. Just at this point that the councilman noticed that she was already on the bed, and he was still wearing his full working outfit.
"Are you sure about it?" He asked finagling undressing his tunic "The last thing I need know is someone spreading rumors about myself knocking the police chief up while I was still married"
Both of them kept in silence of a moment. The truth is that this thing was something they carried every day trough out their lives. Like a seed that keeps chocking you. And when it was said out loud; it was somehow a relief, but it was also scary.
"Even if she knew... she would not say anything to anyone about it." Toph sighted on her bad. Her eyes looked sad, even though she tried to do not show it on her voice.
"You don't know that." Sokka sat down on the bed, with the same look "She soon will be a teenager, and she might get really confused about it, especially because I am not her father. She sure will feel that it was unfair that she never got to met hers, while Suy-"
"Can we just cut this crap out?" Toph taped the bed side, biting her lower lip. She hated this talk. She hated those thoughts. She would keep her secrets as far as she could, sometimes, even from herself. For the girls sake, yes. But this also freaked her out too. Moreover, this was about Sokka too.
"I'm sorry" He said finally lying down. As he did, Toph snuggled herself into his chest. That reminded herself how small she really was, specially compared to the man on her bedside. "Deep inside, I know you are right. I think going to school is the best for the girls. But…"
Toph smiled passing her hand over his chest "I know something that will take your mind out of this" she said a skanky voice.
"Hum... you do?" He replied with the same tone
"Let's make another one so will worried a bunch of other things but this won't be one of them" she giggled kissing his neck
"You totally don't know when to stop joking. Do you?"
