*10/27/13 update* still at it. I thought I would have had more done.

Family

Aang usually stepped lightly, but today he was positively, and literally, floating on air. Although Katara, the midwife and Lee all told him that someone could go get the carriage to bring them and the new baby back to the house, Aang insisted on carrying his wife and new son home.

As they neared the dormitories Kya and Bumi saw their father floating towards them with their mother in his arms. Their mother had a bundle of her own in her arms. They ran and jumped up and down next to their parents.

"Is that the baby?", Bumi asked

"I want to see the baby!", Kya added.

Aang got down one knee and sat Katara on the other leg. She cradled the baby at an angle and pulled the blanket away from his face. "This is your brother, Tenzin.", she said lightly to her other children.

Kya smiled and touched Tenzin's face lightly, Bumi just cared that there was another boy in the family. Aang beamed as he watched his three children together for the first time. He noted every detail so he could always remember the moment.

Kya was the perfect mixture of him and his wife. She had shining black hair, the same color as his when he would let it grow out, but it was wavy, thick and soft like her mother's. She had Aang's silvery grey eyes and wide smile, but her nose and skin tone was all Katara.

Bumi had almost totally Water Tribe features. In fact, he looked like a miniature version of his Grandpa Hakoda with a few of his father's features thrown in. Although his hair was brown, it was spiky and wild like Aang's, and like his sister he had inherited the Avatars eyes.

The new baby looked more like his father. He had Aang's light skin tone, nose and mouth. He also had a spiky patch of hair on the top of his head, but instead of black it was brown like Katara's. When he opened his eyes to behold his big sister and brother they were stunned to see their mother's big beautiful blue eyes.

"Hey Little Daddy." Bumi said as he looked at his new baby brother.

Aang smiled, "His name is Tenzin, Bumi." he reminded.

"I know Daddy, but he looks like a little you."

As the months went by there were many changes in the household. The hardest change seemed to Kya and Bumi having to learn to be quiet while Tenzin was sleeping, which seemed to be all the time. Bumi had the hardest time containing all of the energy he had. He was a wilder, more hyper version of Aang. Kya, on the other hand, loved to talk. It was hard for her to keep it all to herself while the baby slept.

When Tenzin was awake his siblings did their level best to get all their rambunctiousness out before he went back to sleep. It was hard on Katara on the days that Aang had to spend in Republic City, but on the days he was able to stay home he was a great help. She was so grateful that nothing had come up that would take him away for more than a day or two.

She was in awe of how he was with the children. As she feed Tenzin, she sat by the window and watched the three of them play. At the time he reminded her so much of the little boy that she and Sokka found in an iceberg twenty years earlier. He laughed that same infectious laugh that he had back then while he Air Scootered around the back yard with Kya on his lap and Bumi on his shoulders.

As he used earth bending to make the children an impromptu playground his wife couldn't help but think about all the changes she'd seen in him. When they first met he was this skinny, goofy twelve year old with a nasty habit of running away when things got to be too much. Now he was a tall, handsome, leanly muscled man with a family and a whole world that he was responsible for, and he took that responsibility head on.

Another side of Aang showed itself when Kya fell and skinned her knee. He immediately scooped his daughter up and brushed the tears from her face. Katara read his lips as he whispered to the little girl. "It's okay. Daddy can make it all better.", then he bent a little water over her knee and healed it, "Just like new." he said and Kya jumped up and hugged his neck. Then he turned and chastised Bumi for pushing his sister down. Some people saw Aang only as the All Mighty Avatar, but Katara knew better. She knew the man he truly was; father, husband, lover.

Aang had just sent Bumi to his room for hurting his sister when he noticed Katara in the window burping their baby. As much as he wanted to plaster a huge smile across his face, he couldn't because Bumi was looking back with pleading eyes. "Go Bumi.", he said, pointing towards the house and trying his best to sound and look very serious.

He watched as his wife opened the door to their pouting son and as soon as Bumi rounded the corner he smiled and waved at his wife. She smiled and waved back at him, shaking her head as if she were saying 'You are so silly."

For the two decades that he'd known her, he loved her. Ever since he woke up in her arms after being trapped in that iceberg for a century. She wasn't that little girl who found him any more, she was a 34 year old, breathtakingly beautiful woman who loved him, married him and bore him three wonderful children. Her long, wavy hair was usually in its normal style of loopies framing her face and a long braid down her back that stopped a little past her waist. Oh how Aang liked to watch the tip of that braid sway as she walked away.

As the years went by he loved her more. Even through their most difficult times he'd never once doubted that they would always be together. He had never loved anyone as much as he loved her and the children. Before them he had never had a true family, but now that he did, he held on to it for dear life.
