Okay, I have finally updated this thing! I gotta say, I love this story, and I love the series that will come from it, but this story is honestly right now, the bane of my life. I know I promised I would change the chapter 'Family Bed', or at least I promised that to one person, but instead I just deleted it. I am lazy, I know… I did write about three possible chapters for it, but they didn't seem to fit.

So, I am just moving on. All those chapters which have been deleted and such of course shall be posted at the end, and the end shall be coming in about two chapters, so we're almost there guys – get excited! And then it's the sequel, 'Heartbeat', and the story that started this whole thing – 'Accidentally On Purpose'. Of course, that story has changed drastically since the second rewrite, but the character's names are still the same – their personalities are the ones that have changed. Anyway, enjoy this chapter!

Chapter Fifteen | Kyoki Grace Sully

"Our daughter is the knot that ties the family together." - Unknown

With Neytiri's stomach once again swelling, Jake was up at all hours of the night thanks to her craving, helping her, and helping little Lanuah. Since Lanuah was still not quite sleeping through the night, with wanting to be fed and everything else, Jake was dead tired by the next morning. Still, he didn't complain – much. However, he couldn't wait for this baby to be born. They hadn't said it out loud, but both Jake and Neytiri knew that this would be the last child they would have. Whilst being a parent was a joy in itself, it was also totally overwhelming. Besides, they had an heir for a clan, and two back up plans, once the two girls married. Neytiri already knew it was a girl, and thanks to that, she already started on choosing names.

"Okay, what about Tellua'ka?" Neytiri questioned as she sewed a blanket for the newest upcoming child. Mo'at was sitting beside her, sewing some clothes for Lanuah to help her daughter and son-in-law out.

Jake thought about that. He said it to himself out loud, mimicking his mate. "Mmm, bit of a mouthful, don't you think?"

Neytiri looked up to the sky as if the name would be there, and then said, "Marali, then?"

Jake was about to half-agree to that one, and let her put it on the 'Possible' list, when Norm came in carrying a bundle of papers. He was panting a bit from the weight, since the stack was quite large, so Jake got up to assist him. "Want some help?" he asked, offering to take some off Norm.

Norm looked at him sarcastically. "Well… since you refused to come to RDA… I had to print these off… and then I had to get through the forest, pass a mothering palulukan, nearly got trampled by a pa'li herd, and dodged a stray angtsìk, but no… these last few steps are where it gets really tricky."

Jake shook his head and took the papers. "You know, sometimes your words? They hurt," he told Norm, coming to place the papers on the table.

Neytiri leant forward, placing her hand on her belly, as she looked over the papers. "Norm, what is this?"

"It's thirty lists of baby names from around the world," he smiled proudly. "Our world, that is," he clarified.

Neytiri picked up the list and read some of the names off. "Anna, Bella, Catherine…"

Mo'at looked at the list herself, but unlike Neytiri, she couldn't read it – she could only speak English. She knew that these weren't names she'd ever come across before as Neytiri read some of them out. "You should follow the naming pattern you were doing – she should have a Na'vi first name, and a human second name?"

Jake exchanged glances with his mate. "I never even thought we were making a pattern, to be honest, but that does sound quite nice."

Neytiri had to agree. "But, what Na'vi name, then? We are all sorted out with human names, clearly."

Norm, aggravated that all his hard work was about to go to waste, quickly came to his lists' defense. "Well, what if you got a human name, and modified it for a Na'vi name? Like, um… Oh, Jane could be 'Jan'eka'.

Jake arched an eyebrow, but Neytiri leaned forward, interested. " 'Jan'eka'… I quite like that," she smiled. Mo'at nodded her own approval. "Got any other ideas?"

Norm thought. "I think African and Japanese names would be better for this sort of thing… Um, 'Asouka' could be 'Asok'ata'?

"Uh… Veto on that one," Jake told him gently. "I guess it could work; all we need is the right name." Mo'at took the list, and as if being directed by Eywa herself, she closed her eyes and placed her finger on a name. Neytiri lifted her mother's finger to see the name, 'Kyoko' staring at her. Jake took the list and read the meaning for it. "Kyoko, pronounced 'Kee-OH-koh', is of Japanese origin and means 'mirror'."

"Aww, that's really sweet," Mo'at smiled.

"I dunno if I like the pronunciation too much… But I do like the idea," Norm said. He thought for a moment, trying to see how he could warp such a name into something sounding vaguely like it was from the Na'vi language. "Kyoko… Um, Kee-okah? Kai-oki? No, that was bad… Disregard that!"

But Neytiri didn't. She kept the last name in her mind, thinking. "Kai-oki… I like that. How could we spell that one?"

"K-y-o-k-… i?" Jake suggested, just following the original pattern for Kyoko. "Little Kyo… Huh, that is quite cute."

"Well I think it's winning," Mo'at smiled.

Jake looked at his mother-in-law. "You've never used that phrase before, have you?" he asked with a smile.

"Not once in my life."

Neytiri smiled at the two of them and then thought. "So what shall her middle name be?" she asked, Jake in particular.

The leader cast his eyes outside, lost in thought. Slowly, a smile came to his face. The other members in the room looked at him, dying with curiosity as to what had come to his mind. He just smiled. "I think I have an idea."

Shortly after Lanuah turned two, she received a late birthday present. It wasn't one she had truly asked for, let alone wanted. Of course, she only didn't want a little sibling because she copied everything Tom did. Whatever he wanted, she wanted, and since Tom didn't want another sister, she didn't, either. Tom hadn't entirely hopped on board with the whole mum-and-dad-are-having-a-new-baby thing. He had just hoped that if he pretended it didn't exist, it would cease to exist. Sure he had accepted Lanuah, but that was before he realised what the package deal with her was. He had already had to give up some of his parent's attention to Lanuah, and now it had to be divided among three? If he could think in such a way, he would think that Eywa was intentionally screwing him.

Sadly for Tom, this problem wasn't going to magically disappear, as one night – with a lot of déjà vu – Mo'at came to gently shake Tom. Tom groaned and rolled over in his bed. "It's Saturday, grandma… It's not even light out… Lemme sleep."

Lanuah opened her eyes from the hammock she slept in across from her elder brother's. She gave a yawn and rubbed her tired eyes with her tiny hands. "Grandma, what's going on…?" she asked sleepily.

Mo'at smiled and came to press a soft kiss to her granddaughter's forehead. "You have a new little sister. Do you want to come and meet her?" Tom replied with a hasty, 'No!', but Lanuah replied with a 'Yes!'. Tom scowled at her, and her ears went down slightly; Tom's little foot soldier.

Grandma Mo'at got them both up, knowing Tom did actually want to see her – he was just having a bit of trouble adjusting. Once they had wiped the sleep from their eyes, and in Tom's case, the frown, Mo'at took them in to the medical centre, where Jake was holding a little bundle, perched on the side of Neytiri's bed. Lanuah pranced over to them, coming to inspect the little baby. She gave a smile, and her tail flicked slightly like a puppy's. Tom didn't wish to partake in such a ritual, but reluctantly went when Mo'at gave him a little shove. He came over with his grandma to his parents to see a swaddled baby in his da's arms. A small, five-fingered hand reached out to Tom, and found his four-fingered hand. A small flicker of a smile passed across Tom's face. Mo'at smiled as well as she saw her youngest granddaughter, and she softly brushed her chubby, tiny cheek with her finger. She looked at her daughter then. "How are you feeling?"
Neytiri was honest, and replied, "Tired." Jake gave a small chuckle and kissed her cheek gently.

"Whatcha gonna call her?" Lanuah asked, keeping her eyes on her baby sister.

Neytiri and Jake looked at each other. Since Neytiri had announced Lanuah's name, Jake had taken on the challenge of announcing this one. Jake had decided on her middle name, and hadn't told Neytiri until after the minute his youngest child was born. Thankfully, Neytiri had eagerly agreed to it, so they didn't have to choose another to announce. "Her name is Kyoki Grace Sully."
