A Way Around
The second the small boy's cries filled the room, Aang was out of bed and comforting his son. Katara was awake too, but when she opened her eyes, Aang had already taken care of it. She smiled to herself as she watched him slowly rock Kikan, trying to get the now whimpering boy back to sleep. He really loved his son and she could see it in his eyes, just by the way he looked down at the infant. Everything was so innocent about that moment that she felt it wasn't right to look at them directly. She turned her face away and listened to see if Kikan had stopped crying. Finally, Kikan's whimpers turned to little sighs of sleep and Katara could sleep again too.
Aang put the child back in his cradle when he was sure he was asleep, careful not to wake him. He tucked the blanket around the boy's tiny frame and just watched his son for a moment. He was still amazing. Every time he laid eyes on him, he'd just be reminded how great his family was. How incredibly lucky he was to have the best wife and child in the entire world. And Kikan was an airbender. That was the most amazing thing of all. Aang dreamed of the day when Kikan would finally be old enough to learn airbending, when he could pass down his art. He would be one of the greatest airbenders that ever lived; the sneeze when he was born told him that. He smiled as he thought about the future, then he suddenly frowned. He was the Avatar and had a lot of traveling. He was staying home at the moment because Katara needed help taking care of their baby, but what happened when he had to go back to attending Peace meetings? How could he be a good father if he was always away? These thoughts swirled around in his mind. He glanced at the sleeping boy again. He was everything to him and he would go to the end of the world to do what was best for his son. He made a decision right then. He would have to go and perform his duty, that was decided, but he'd always make time for his family. That was even more certain. He was an airbender himself after all, and airbenders always found another way.
