I called in to work and took the day off for all of us from the tea shop said sokka.
Later that day Aang went to the market and bought things for the babies. He came home and saw zuko asleep on the couch with his son on his chest and sokka and satoshi sprawled across a mat on the floor. He picked a pillow up and threw it at zuko telling him to get up and help him put everything away. Aang laid the toys on a blanket and out the babies on it then went and put the diapers, baby food, beds, and blankets away in their rooms. They all fell on the couch watching their babies play.
Now what do we do" asked sokka
"Well I guess we find a babysitter" answered Zuko
"Who do you think will do it" asked aang
"I'll just get a guard to do it during the week while were at work!" said zuko
"Perfect" said Aang and Sokka
They spent the rest of the day figuring out how to feed and change a baby.
So the guard came and was shown by the 3 fathers how to take care of the children. Each dad put emphasis on the things that calmed their child down. They had spent the weekend with them and had figured out what they like. Satoshi liked food. Huojin liked to be near his dad and Aya liked to have her dad hold her. The weekend came and they all managed to stay pretty clean of baby food and poop. Except zuko. Satoshi laughed at him whenever HUOJIN threw his food at him. It only managed to piss zuko off even more. Each weekend the dads managed to get less and less baby things on them. The dads became very attached to their kids. They took them with them whenever they could. On the anniversary of the babies 5th month with their dads they got a letter from the moms saying:
Dear dads
We will be coming on Tuesday to pick up the babies. Please pack their things and have them ready to go. Put everything in the baskets they came in
Sincerely, Moms
What the hell! Tuesday! Yelled Zuko
Who do they think they are! I'm not sending my daughter away with some woman who dropped her off on our doorstep at 3 in the morning. Even if it is her mother. I'm not letting them take Aya away from me. I would die! Yelled Aang
Tuesday! That's tomorrow! Said sokka
What are we going to do? Zuko questioned
I don't want to give her back. I would miss her to much Said Aang.
Yea I'd miss satoshi too. Said sokka
They might agree on joint custody Offered Zuko
Yea they might said sokka
I'm going to put Aya to bed said Aang
Its only 4 said zuko
Oh yea it is Said Aang
They all headed off to their rooms with their babies.
Aang and aya
I'm not letting your mom take you with her. No matter what. So don't worry. I'll keep you safe. Don't worry. Aang and Aya fell asleep early that night. Aya slept with her dad instead of in her crib.
The babies all slept in bed with their dads. Even Zuko. He put Houjin in his crib at first but then decided it might be his last night with him and if it was he wanted to be with him. They did what the mothers asked them to do but with no intentions of giving back their precious children. Everyone awoke early the next morning from nerves about who the mothers were and if they would be able to convince the moms to let them keep them. They cleaned the babies' the house and themselves and set their things in their beds. At about noon there was a knock on the door. Zuko went to get it. "Ok here we go, time to meet Mommy Zuko said to his son as he opened the door.
