i was about to upload this when i realised i forgot about KUVIRA! anyway, this is what i think Lin would be like if she reconciled with Su... and was in love with Kya. read, review and enjoy.

It was seven in the morning when Kya was alerted to someone at the front door, of the large house she shared with Lin. Opening the door, she was greeted by a pregnant Su, who was holding a sleeping Opal on her hip and a tired looking Huan, Baatar Junior and Kuvira at her sides. "Hello Su, would you like me to take Opal from you?"

"Yes, Thank you."

Opal snuggled into Kya's shoulder, letting out a sigh of content. "She's gotten so big since I last saw her and so have you. Come on in." Su plopped down on the couch, rubbing her swollen tummy in an effort to calm down the two babies inside her. "I'll put the kids in the spare bedroom so they can get a few more hours of sleep."

"Thanks Kya, I'm just gonna relax and put my feet up."

"Come along Huan, Junior." She turned towards the little girl who was hiding behind Baatar. Kya offered a friendly smile in an effort to make her feel more comfortable. "You must be Kuvira. My name is Kya. Lets get you all in bed."

"Yes aunty Kya." Kuvira and the two boys followed Kya up the stairs to a spare bedroom, big enough to have two beds inside. She put Opal in the same bed as Junior, smiling when she cuddled up to her big brother.

"I'll wake you up in a few hours." Walking back downstairs, she found Su sprawled out on the couch, staring intently at her stomach. "We were expecting you later tonight."

"Sorry about that, they started construction earlier than we expected. Did we wake you?"

"Not at all, Lin just got home an hour ago and I couldn't get back to sleep. And you're right, Kuvira does seem like a nice girl."

"She is, I couldn't let stand the thought of putting someone like her in an orphanage. She can already metalbend. Not bad for a six year old."

Grabbing two mugs from the top shelf, she began to make herself and Su a cup of tea, when something came thumping down the stairs. "Lin?"

"Yeah, I've got to get to work. Call me if you hear from Su."

"She's already here."

"Hey sis." Su waved a hand at her from her position on the couch.

"Su, you're early. I mean, it's not a bad thing, I just wasn't expecting you." Lin walked around to the side of the couch, kneeling down to feel her stomach. "Can't believe my little sister is about to have twins." She smiled when she felt two simultaneous kicks against her hand. "They're going to be benders and good friends. I bet the fortune on it."

"I think so too."

Standing back up, she turned towards the door. "Well I have to go to work. I'll see you later tonight."

Kya walked towards them, two cups of tea in hand. "You're going back to work?" She placed the tea down on the small table so she could put her hands on her hips. "You just got home an hour ago!"

"I know, I just need to do this one shift and I'm free for the next two days."

"You're Chief of police! Can't you get someone to fill in for you?"

"We talked about this, only I can do certain things. I'll try to get back as soon as I can." She leaned in to kiss Kya good-bye, only to have her turn away. Letting out a sigh, she kissed Kya on the cheek and headed off to work.

"Are you two okay?"

"We are, I'm just a little annoyed at Lin's odd work hours. I understand why she does it, I'd just prefer if she stayed home."

"Let me guess. You want her to stay home with you in bed all day, and wait on you hand and foot?"

"Is it too much to ask?" Sitting down next to Su, the two began to drink their tea. "So, how far along are you? Because you look like you're full term."

"I wish, only six months and they are already getting to me. They're like a tag team, one of them stops kicking, then the other one starts. These two are going to be the death of me. And on top of that, the constructions of Zaofu are taking forever."

"The curse of making something out of platinum."

"It's worth it."

Lin straightened up outside her house, preparing herself to transition from Chief Beifong, to aunty Lin. "Lets do this." Pushing open the door, she was tackled by her two nephews, while Opal stood behind the wall leading into the kitchen, staring cautiously at her. "Hello Junior, Hello Huan. You two have gotten so big… and heavy."

"Kuvira! This is my aunty Lin! She's the Chief of police."

Lin looked at the small girl and gave her a small smile. "Hello Kuvira, I've heard a lot about you. It's nice to meet you."

"Hi Chief Beifong."

"Call me Lin." Lin waddled into the kitchen with her two nephews still clutching her legs, the metal of her uniform clunking in its usual way. "Uh, hey Kya."

"Hello."

Sensing the tension in the room, Su beckoned her children to follow her into the dinning room. "Come on kids, let's set the table."

Kya and Lin waited for them to leave before talking. "Look I-"

"Me first. Lin, I'm sorry I wasn't more patient with you. I was being selfish, especially because you were doing this to get time off to spend with your sister an-" She was silenced when Lin pulled her in by the waist and kissed her passionately, pressing her tongue into Kya's, causing her to moan in appreciation.

They pulled apart when a cough interrupted them. "Kya, you have a little bit of saliva on your chin there and the pot is about to boil over."

Wiping her chin, Kya turned off the stove and began to ladle the soup into bowls for everyone. The three women took two bowls each and placed them in front of their respective diners.

Just as Lin was about to dig in, she looked over at Opal to find that she was too short to reach her meal. So she did the practical thing and pulled Opal onto her right knee, giving the two year old a much needed boost. "There you go kid." Opal didn't move, too freaked out by the stranger holding her. She looked up at Lin's scars, only to avert her gaze when her aunt looked down at her in confusion. "Su, I think your kid is broken."

"Hmm? Opal honey, are you okay?" The two year old shook her head in response, too afraid to speak. "Is your food too hot?" Another shake of her head. "I can't help you if you don't talk to me."

Opal slid off from Lin's leg and ran over to her mother, motioning for her to bend down so she can whisper in her ear. Su smiled at Opal's shyness but played along. The two whispered back and forth until they came to an understanding.

Opal walked back to Lin's spot and stretched her arms up towards her. Lin picked her up and put her back on her lap. "Better kid?"

"Yeah."

"Good, now hurry up and finish so we can clear away the table."

The two year old, in fear of her life, began to slurp her food greedily.

It was eight at night when the kids were put to bed, much to the gratitude of Lin who had spent the last hour keeping them entertained to allow for Kya and Su to have some free time. Lin was in the process of taking off her boots, when she felt Kya wrap her arms around her waist, and rested her chin on Lin's shoulder. "You okay?"

"Yeah, fine. Though Huan and Junior like to play rough."

She let out a moan as Kya began to rub her shoulders. "What about Opal?"

"Mm, I could tell she wanted to join in, but she was too busy looking at these." She gestured to the scars on her face, brows furrowing slightly. "I think they scare her."

"Yeah, Su was telling my why She was so shy around you. Apparently, she forgot who you were. And the scars scare her a little, but only because she has never seen something like them before, so she doesn't know what they are."

"Yeah, that's reassuring."

Kya got off the bed and pulled Lin up to stand in front of her. "I'm going to have a shower, and you're going to join me."

Lin smiled, following her lover's form into the adjoining bathroom.
