This chapter starts of with a little -Toph POV-. Ehh, it's kinda boring- but Oh well. There will most definitely be angst next chapter. And next chapter will probably be longer. Hope you like it ^,^

*Disclaimer: I do NOT own ATLA or the characters(Except for Jai) but this FF is by me*

*Start- Toph POV *

I didn't know what to say to his compliment. I simply sat there and listened to the rhythm of our synced breathing. He let out a long sigh and I felt him stir a little bit.

"Thanks Sokka." I said finally. I gave him a small grin and started to stand up. Sokka also stood up from his place in the dirt. I heard him brush of his pants. I did the same, and brushed off my night robe. I could tell it was sunset because the last bit of sun reached out and engulfed in its last bit of warmth. I shivered and wrapped my robe around me tighter. Sokka walked closely to me brushing his shoulder against mine every once in a while.

"What time is it?" I ask.

"The moon's starting to come up." Sokka replied simply. I picked up my pace trying to make it back to the house in time to be there to receive Lin back from her day out in the town with her father. I let out a silent sigh of relief when we got home. I opened the door and stepped in to my now warm house.

"Did you light a fire?" I ask Katara as I sat down on the sofa.

"Yah." She smiled, "It was getting chilly. Hope you don't mind."

"Not at all." I say smiling in her direction, "Thanks." The warm crackling of the fire was interrupted by a knock on the door. I give Sokka a worried look before standing. Shit! I curse at myself. What is Katara going to say when I open the door and there appears my daughter?! I hesitantly walk over to the door.

*End- Toph POV*

Toph walks slowly to the door before opening it. Sokka looks curiously at the man in front of Toph. A tall, well-built man looks down at Toph. Smiling. His blue eyes glow with love as he leans forward and gives Toph a quick peck on the lips. He looks over Toph's head and at Sokka. His handsome face becomes sterner. Sokka turns away from the door and tries to listen in on what the two are whispering about, but can't make out any words.

"So," Jai says "This is Sokka?" He says softening his face up slightly.

"Yah." Toph says still standing in the doorway. Her small body looks like a child standing in front of Jai. "But, can we talk out front for just a minute?" Toph quietly exclaims glancing over her shoulder. Jai takes Toph's hand and walks her down the porch.

"You're not going to be happy." Sokka since once Jai and Toph are out of earshot.

"Why not?" Katara says looking up from a scroll she had been reading.

"Well- Toph has a family now." Sokka says rubbing the back of his neck.

"I know that Sokka. She and Jai are getting married." She says letting a smile cross her face.

"Not just that." Sokka says quietly walking towards the kitchen.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Katara says turning herself in the sofa.

"You'll see."

Sokka and Katara sat on the couch busying themselves while Toph and Jai talked. Katara looked up when Jai returned. He hovered in the doorway and smiled at Katara. Katara stood up and adjusted herself and walked over to the tall man.

"Hello." Jai said bowing his head slightly.

"Hi. I'm Katara." The water bender said as she took Jai's hand and shook it.

"Ah, I've heard a lot about you." He said smiling. Sokka walked over and stood next to Katara.

"I'm Sokka." The nervous warrior said shaking Jai's hand.

"And I've heard even more about you." He said shaking Sokka strongly.

"Coming Hun?" Jai said looking out of the doorway. Just then Toph entered the doorway. She held in her arms a small bundle of pink blankets. She smiled as she swayed back and forth on her bare feet.

"And this is Lin."

Sokka held his breath as he watched Toph smile down at the baby. He secretly was praying Toph was lying. That she wasn't a mom. But she was.

"Lin?" Katara said stepping closer to Toph and peering down at the bundle.

"Katara, this is my daughter." Toph gently pulled the blankets back from the baby's face. Sokka leaned in closer to get a good look at her. She was beautiful. A head of black hair lay upon Lin's head. Lin opened her bright blue eyes and gurgled. Toph handed Lin to Katara cautiously. Katara let a single tear slip down her cheek as she swayed with the baby in her arms.

"I-I-I didn't know you were even pregnant!" Katara said confused.

"Yah." Toph said with a tone of guilt in her voice. Jai pulled Toph closer to him. He wrapped his strong arms around the pale girl and kissed the top of her head.

"She's beautiful." Katara said smiling ear to ear.

"I know." Toph said with a hint of sorrow in her voice. Sokka looked at her sympathetically. He wondered how it would feel to never be able to see your loved one.

"Can-Can I hold her?" Sokka asked shyly. Toph nodded. Katara gave Lin a kiss on her forehead and handed her to Sokka. Sokka smiled so big, he thought his cheeks would tear. She was so little. So beautiful. So… Toph like. He glanced from Toph to Lin and studied their similarities.

"She looks so much like you Toph." Toph fell silent momentarily.

"Is that good?" She laughed slightly.

"It is." Jai chimed in squeezing Toph's hand reassuringly. Jai shot Sokka a glare and watched carefully as Sokka held his daughter. Sokka was startled when Lin let out a loud ear piercing cry.

"She's probably hungry." Toph said reaching towards Sokka to take Lin back. Toph walked over to the couch and sat down. Katara sat down next to Toph. Sokka blushed when Toph began breast feeding Lin. He turned and began to walk out of the house. He sat outside the door and listened to the two woman talk about baby stuff.

"So," A voice behind Sokka said, "You must be something special. Huh?" It was Jai. He walked over to Sokka and sat down.

"What?"

"You must be real special if Toph feels the need to write to you every week."

"Uh." He stuttered. "I-I guess so."

"How long have you known her?"

"Since she was 12." Sokka smiled remembering the first day they meant Toph.

"Wow." Jai replied. Sokka relaxed a little when Jai's voice became softer.

"You're a lucky man." Sokka said looking into the sky at the stars.

"I know." Jai smiled. "I love her so much. Both of them. Toph and Lin."

"I do too." Sokka replied without giving his words much thought.

"Excuse me?" Jai said straightening his posture and glaring at Sokka.

"Well- I- Um, Toph's like a little sister." Sokka said finally as he cowered and scooted slightly away from Jai.

"Whatever." Jai said seemingly pissed. He stood up and re-entered the house.

"Good one Sokka." Sokka muttered to himself. He gave himself a well-deserved slap on the forehead.

I do too. I do love her. Not like that though. Right? No- I love Toph.

"I love her." He buried his head in his arms.

I am in love… With Toph.
